Chapter 98 King Qi is dead, but I didn’t kill him?!
"so what?"
Bai Ziqing touched his hair and looked at Zeng Anmin.
"You know I'm a scholar, so you have to be the one to handle this kind of thing."
Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing as a matter of course.
"no!"
Bai Ziqing shook his head firmly: "If this matter is exposed, both you and I will die."
"No, even if King Qi died now, no one would care. He is so powerful in the capital and has enemies everywhere. No one would suspect us."
Zeng Anmin looked serious at this time.
When it comes to serious matters, he never jokes about his own life.
"That won't work either."
Bai Ziqing's eyes were extremely firm. He took a deep breath and advised:
"With the fall of Prince Qi, the officials connected to him will sooner or later fall from power. He has no chance of turning things around in his lifetime, so why bother with this? It might even expose him!"
Because he might have the Xihuangtu on him, even if he doesn't carry it with him, we can definitely find clues through him.
If he is allowed to travel far away, the secret of the Xihuangtu will most likely be exposed.
Then his identity in the Tiandao Alliance would also be exposed.
By then, the secret of Kanlongtu will most likely be exposed.
Do I bet on me?!
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and said with a serious look:
"Actually, I have another method that can make your hair straight and smooth, flowing like a fairy..."
The room became quiet.
Bai Ziqing's gaze froze for a moment.
He pursed his lips with great difficulty and shook his head, saying, "No, this would be too troublesome..."
Zeng Anmin interrupted and took a deep breath.
"I heard you had a troublesome case?"
"As long as you help me with this job, you can rest assured that I can help you solve this case. You know that I can solve the case even if I don't know how to do anything else!"
Zeng Anmin looked directly at Bai Ziqing and said:
"Also, although the position of the Northern Commander of the Imperial City has become vacant now that Prince Qi has fallen, if you don't have any convincing achievements, the risk to you, brother, of taking the position is not great, but it is still there!"
These words touched Bai Ziqing's heart directly.
Now, all the ten inspectors of the Imperial City have a chance.
His face lost its previous firmness and began to look embarrassed.
"What are you still hesitating about? Think about it carefully. When you were chasing the enemy, your flowing straight hair slowly fell down, and you whispered..."
When Zeng Anmin said this, he thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up.
He demonstrated directly by holding the brush on the table in his hand as if it were a three-foot-long sword, and recited aloud:
"Drawing a sword and laughing, I travel the world! My ambition can swallow the universe, and my chivalrous spirit can withstand the wind and frost!"
He recited this poem with great charm, dancing a sword lightly, his eyes looking disdainfully:
"Imperial City Northern Commander Bai Ziqing is here, and I beg you to die!"
After saying this, he raised his head and looked towards Bai Ziqing:
"Isn't that much better than just calling yourself 'Imperial City Stice'?"
At this time, Bai Ziqing's face turned red.
Eyes widened, lips trembled, and the voice murmured:
"Drawing a sword and laughing, I travel the world! My ambition can swallow the universe, and my chivalrous spirit can withstand the wind and frost..."
"Ambition swallows the universe, and chivalrous spirit endures the wind and frost..."
"Huff huff..."
His voice became extremely rough.
He suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards Zeng Anmin.
Without saying much, he took a deep breath and bowed to himself.
This ritual is extremely profound.
"Uh...you are..."
Zeng Anmin's brain froze for a moment.
Could it be that I was fooled by myself?
Bai Ziqing's eyes were burning with passion. He looked up at Zeng Anmin as if he were looking at a rare treasure, and his voice was even trembling:
"My parents gave me life, and my assistants are the ones who know me."
“This poem really resonates with me!”
"I, Bai Ziqing, am so grateful to have a close friend like Quan Fu in my life. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
Well.
Zeng Anmin hadn't expected that his actions would move Bai Ziqing so much...
"Brother Bai, please don't say such things. If you hadn't trusted me back in Jiangnan and brought me before His Majesty to give me a chance to defend myself, I'm afraid Quan Fu would have been a skeleton in his grave!"
"An Min will never forget this feeling!"
It's time to show some emotion.
You can't let the other party perform a solo.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Bai Ziqing's eyes even turned slightly red.
He reached out and pressed Zeng Anmin's shoulders hard:
"Quan Fu!"
"Brother Bai!"
…………
That night.
Two dark shadows headed towards the west.
One of the figures was extremely graceful, like a banished immortal from heaven.
The other one... was held in the hands of the exiled immortal and looked a little embarrassed.
Zeng Anmin felt the buildings around him receding rapidly, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes.
When I first traveled through Liangjiang County.
It was because of Bai Ziqing holding me up that I was able to escape death.
Now, he is carrying himself again.
Time seems like a cycle.
The only difference is that Bai Ziqing had long silver hair back then.
Now it has turned into wavy yellow hair.
Times have passed and it is not worth telling to outsiders.
…
"No one will find out here."
Bai Ziqing carried Zeng Anmin to a corner of the city wall and said in a low voice:
"This is the weakest spot guarded by the Imperial City Bureau during their night patrols. It will be very safe to escape from the city from here."
"Well, I believe in Brother Bai."
Zeng Anmin looked up at the city wall that was more than ten feet high and felt a little skeptical for a moment.
It’s so high, is it really going to fall out?
The next moment, he felt dizzy.
“Thump, thump, thump!!”
Three sounds of toes tapping on the city wall.
Zeng Anmin opened his eyes again and had reached the highest point.
As high as the city wall.
Zeng Anmin took the time to look at Bai Ziqing.
At this moment, Bai Ziqing's face was not red, and he was not out of breath. One could even hear a trace of calm murmur:
"Drawing a sword and laughing, I go out to travel the world! Ambition swallows... swallows... hmm..."
Bro, did you forget the lyrics?
As soon as this thought came to Zeng Anmin's mind, he felt a sudden fall.
This feeling of weightlessness made him subconsciously close his eyes.
Slow down, bro. I'm not only carsick, but I'm also afraid of heights...
“Pah.”
The sound of feet hitting the ground.
In just a moment, the two of them arrived outside the city wall.
Land safely!
Zeng Anmin stomped the ground unrealistically, trying hard to suppress the discomfort coming from his body:
"Brother Bai really has good tactics."
"hehe."
Bai Ziqing raised his lips slightly, took a deep breath, and then looked westward:
"Let's go now, there's no time to lose."
"Okay." Zeng Anmin obediently gave up his belt.
Although the posture is a bit awkward.
But if you think of Bai Ziqing as your own mount...
See, it’s balanced immediately!
Bai Ziqing naturally couldn't hear Zeng Anmin's thoughts.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Zeng Anmin, then he disappeared into the night of the capital city.
…………
The night is dreary.
A carriage moved slowly forward.
Facing the night, facing the sorrow.
There was no cover on the carriage, just a cage.
A huge man was half-sitting in the cage.
Even when he was half-sitting, his bloated body almost filled the cage.
King Qi stared at the stars in the sky with a lifeless expression.
At this time, the beard around his cheeks no longer stood upright as before.
Leaning like straw.
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked..."
It seemed as if King Qi understood for the first time what those weak Confucian scholars said.
He inexplicably felt like laughing.
It was as if he was inexplicably made into this state by Emperor Jianhong.
He didn't even know why Emperor Jianhong would use a lie that everyone knew to depose him.
The sea of consciousness was shattered by Si Zhongxiao.
Wu Dan was shattered.
At this point, he was no different from a useless person.
"Dad, I'm cold..."
Wang Qianzhi was also in this team. He was held down by several officers and soldiers, looking tremblingly at his father in the cage, no... dad.
At this moment, he could no longer call the man in front of him his father.
King Qi listened to Wang Qianzhi's voice and moved his body slightly, but his huge body made it extremely difficult for him to even turn his head in this cramped space.
"master……"
She was the princess's wife the day before yesterday, but now she is a prisoner.
The sound seemed particularly desolate under the cover of night.
Surrounding them were twenty officers and men.
The leader was a captain.
The captain's eyes were cold: "No whispering!"
King Qi did not look up, he did not even glance at the captain, but just stared numbly at the stars in the night sky.
Normally, he wouldn't even bother to take a second look at such a small person.
Now, his life is in his hands.
Things in this world are unpredictable.
In the night sky, the only sounds were those of carriages and horses.
Finally, after walking for a while.
The captain said indifferently, "Stay where you are! Take turns keeping watch!"
"yes!"
Twenty officers and soldiers holding weapons saluted respectfully in unison.
Then they stopped the carriage and set up tents on the spot.
It is still nearly ten thousand miles to the west.
All orders must be obeyed along the way.
The captain sighed and looked at King Qi.
There are still two months and twenty-nine days left until the stipulated time.
Except tonight, have a good night's rest.
The rest of the time will be used to travel.
…
Gradually, it became late at night.
Everyone in the tent fell into a sound sleep.
Even the few soldiers on night watch showed signs of dozing off.
In the dense forest.
Bai Ziqing hurried over carrying Zeng Anmin.
"That's it. The one in the prisoner cart is King Qi."
Bai Ziqing and Zeng Anmin both had their heads wrapped in black cloth and their faces covered with black scarves, and they were wearing night clothes.
Zeng Anmin looked over indifferently.
Being so close to Bai Ziqing, he didn't dare to use his martial arts energy and could only rely on his naked eyes to see.
In the moonlight, he could see King Qi lying in the carriage, his chest rising and falling evenly.
Obviously, King Qi seems to have fallen asleep now.
"I'll help you keep watch and prepare for action."
Zeng Anmin looked at King Qi's prison cart, and a murderous look flashed across his face.
All enemies that can threaten your life.
Must die.
"Um."
Bai Ziqing didn't waste any words and gently put his fingers into his arms.
A dagger flashing with cold light was held between his white fingers.
He abandoned the long sword in order to hide himself as much as possible.
With his skills, it was difficult for the night watchman to discover him.
After killing King Qi, just leave quickly.
However, just as he was about to take off.
An extremely sharp voice sounded.
“Chiu!!!”
In the darkness, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared.
"Well……"
A hidden weapon had been inserted into the throat of a soldier.
He didn't even make a sound when he died.
“Chirp chirp!!!”
The whistling sounds of dozens of hidden weapons followed.
More than twenty officials fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
The smell of blood drifted from the air and entered Zeng Anmin's nostrils in the dark.
“Who is it?!” The leading captain was sleeping soundly to begin with. When he heard the noise outside the tent, he suddenly opened his eyes and wanted to pick up the weapon beside him and rush out of the tent to take a closer look.
But in a flash, a silver light flashed and broke through the tent.
"Shhh~"
There was a flying knife at the captain's throat, and a few streaks of blood...
…………
In the dense forest.
"this……"
Zeng Anmin frowned.
Not to mention him, even Bai Ziqing was a little confused by this sudden situation.
The two of them looked at each other in the darkness, and remained silent, waiting quietly for the next development.
Inside the cage, King Qi was awakened by the noise. He suddenly raised his head and looked into the night through the wooden stakes of the cage in front of him.
I saw a blurry figure slowly walking towards the prison van.
The figure stepped on the corpses of officers and soldiers without noticing at all.
Just walk slowly towards the cage.
"Who are you, sir? Are you here to rescue me?"
King Qi spoke for the first time and looked at the figure walking towards him.
My heart was pounding.
There is help... uh...!
King Qi's eyes suddenly widened.
He looked at the figure in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.
He wanted to make a sound, but he couldn't muster any strength.
He wanted to pull out the hidden weapon from his throat...
But even if your hands are covered in blood, you are doomed to be unable to stop the reality of death.
"Bang!"
King Qi lay limp in the prison cart, blood dripping from his throat and fingers.
A member of the royal family, the King of Qi who has dominated the capital for more than ten years.
Just like that, in the silent death van.
He didn't even know who killed him, and he didn't even see his face clearly.
I could only vaguely see that the man was wearing a bamboo hat and walking lightly.
"ah!!"
It was not until this time that King Qi's family woke up from their dream.
Seeing the twisted bodies of the officers and soldiers lying on the ground, they finally let out a scream of terror.
"Chiu!" A silver light suddenly appeared.
"Huh..." Wang Qianzhi, like his father, covered his throat, his eyes wide open in the darkness... but he slowly lost his life.
King Qi's wife had just fallen asleep when a hidden weapon or flying knife flew to her throat.
…
Even though the mysterious man has gone far away.
Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing waited in the darkness for a long time.
Neither of them made a sound.
Time passes slowly.
Zeng Anmin pursed his lips and he and Bai Ziqing stared at each other in the jungle.
It was a good plan.
Come and kill King Qi.
Someone got there first?
"Do you understand this hidden weapon technique?"
Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing and asked in a serious voice.
The man covered himself very tightly.
So we can only start from here.
Bai Ziqing frowned. His own hidden weapon skills were already top-notch in the world.
When the man just made his move, he didn't even see how these hidden weapons appeared.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Ziqing said solemnly:
"This guy's hidden weapon skills are better than mine. If we just talk about hidden weapons, I'm afraid I'm no match for him."
"Um?"
Zeng Anmin frowned tightly.
"Let's go! If we don't get back to the capital before dawn, we'll be in big trouble!"
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin solemnly.
"good!"
But before leaving, Zeng Anmin asked Bai Ziqing to check whether the person dead in the cage was King Qi.
After receiving a definite answer, the two headed towards the capital at an extremely fast speed.
