Chapter 574 Who did you learn from?
"Your Highness is so mighty!" The soldiers around her cheered.
Yun Qingqing put away the bead and turned to look at the Evil Binding Array that was still in operation.
But Xiao Changheng raised his right hand and wiped towards the center of the formation, and the formation disintegrated from the center and slowly dissipated.
Yun Qingqing's gaze paused at his right wrist. Although it was covered by the wide sleeves, she still recognized the aura of spiritual power.
She did not ask in a hurry, but stood aside and waited quietly for Xiao Changheng to arrange the city defense.
Only after he had dealt with everything did Yun Qingqing say:
"Let me talk for a moment."
Xiao Changheng understood and took her back to his temporary residence in Liangyan City and dismissed all the servants.
Yun Qingqing sat at the table drinking hot tea. For a moment, she didn't know what to say first. The room fell into silence.
Xiao Changheng sat quietly opposite her. He didn't rush her unless she spoke, and he poured tea in an orderly manner.
Yun Qingqing took a deep breath and looked up at him:
"…The Queen's matter is over."
She didn't say much, but the meaning was clear to both of them.
On the day Yun Qingqing traveled through time, the original owner was assassinated and fell into the water and died. The mastermind behind the scenes was the Queen.
At that time, Yun Qingqing promised Xiao Changheng that she would wait until after the New Year to take action against the Queen. However, before she could take action, the Queen sent people to attack the Regent's Palace at night.
The Queen specifically targeted Xiao Changheng when he left the capital, thinking that no matter how powerful Yun Qingqing's tricks were, she was just one person and could not withstand the assassination of hundreds of experts.
Unfortunately, the queen was completely wrong and lost everything.
Xiao Changheng was silent for a moment, then spoke softly:
"I see. Thank you."
Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment:
"Thank me for what?"
Xiao Changheng raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze was deep, his voice was low and soft:
"Thank you for protecting more than a hundred people in the palace. Thank you for caring about the country and persuading my brother not to make this public... And thank you for telling me in person."
"…It's nothing, it should be like this." Yun Qingqing retracted her gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Today, the queen appears to be ill, but in reality she is under house arrest in Fengqi Palace. All the servants around her have been replaced. In a few months at most, she will die in despair.
Her only son, Xiao Zirui, also died in prison. The queen's fate was truly miserable.
Xiao Changheng was well-connected, and he had obviously received information about these things long ago.
Yun Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xiao Changheng fell silent.
This incident was undoubtedly a blow to him.
When Xiao Changheng was six years old, he was brought back to the Eastern Palace by his brother, who was then the crown prince, and was raised by his brother and his wife.
Although the queen had bad intentions, she pretended to love and care for her husband for more than ten years. Once the truth was revealed, no one would feel good.
Not to mention that the emperor was the hardest hit this time. Xiao Changheng had always respected and cared about his brother, so he couldn't help but worry.
Yun Qingqing sighed inwardly, and with a hint of changing the subject, she asked:
"Did the emperor ever give you a jade pendant? Where is it now? Why don't you ever wear it?"
She had previously seen the emperor’s memories in Liufang’s dream of “Hua Xu”.
Xiao Changheng was bullied and fell into the water. Xiao Tianhong, who was the prince at the time, rescued him, brought him back home, and gave him a personal jade pendant.
Yun Qingqing wanted to ask this question after the last palace banquet, but was interrupted by Xiao Yuejun's sudden appearance.
"Jade pendant?" Xiao Changheng came back to his senses, stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something.
"It's the jade pendant that the emperor gave you on the day he brought you to his residence." Yun Qingqing kindly suggested.
Xiao Changheng was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and said softly:
"A few years ago, I was shot in the heart by an arrow on the battlefield. Fortunately, the arrow hit the jade pendant. I survived, but the jade pendant was completely shattered."
Yun Qingqing recalled the scene she vaguely saw in the thick fog at the end of Huaxu's dream, and her expression became serious:
"Which battle?"
Xiao Changheng looked at her expression, frowned slightly, and said seriously:
"The Battle of Licheng on the Southern Border."
He thought for a moment and added:
"I was seriously injured in that battle and nearly died. When I woke up, my eyes and legs were broken... If it weren't for the jade pendant given by my brother, I would have lost my life that time."
Yun Qingqing recalled the last scene she saw vaguely in the white mist in Huaxu's dream. It was the scene where Xiao Changheng, who was not yet twenty, was shot in the heart on the battlefield filled with murderous aura.
At that time, she vaguely saw a ray of light blooming on his chest, and her consciousness was kicked out of the dream.
Yun Qingqing had a guess in her mind at that time, and now hearing what he said, the guess could be basically confirmed.
Xiao Changheng was ambushed in that war. The enemy not only wanted to injure him, but also wanted to take his life.
It was that jade pendant that warded off disaster for him.
He was cursed after he was injured.
Yun Qingqing frowned and thought for a moment, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she looked up at the man opposite her.
Xiao Changheng met her sharp gaze and was a little surprised:
"What's wrong?"
Yun Qingqing stared at him for a long while, until he turned his head away uncomfortably and coughed lightly:
"Is there something on my face?"
Yun Qingqing retracted her gaze, fixed it on the rising and falling tea leaves in the cup, and calmly changed the subject:
"When did you learn the formation? Who did you learn it from?"
Xiao Changheng paused for a moment, then said truthfully:
"Last time in Shuihua Sect, Master gave me some classics, and I learned a little bit when I had nothing to do."
Yun Qingqing had a complicated look:
"Do you know that the formation you used today is something that many Xuanmen disciples will never be able to learn in their entire lives?"
Xiao Changheng remained noncommittal:
"Master said I have some talent."
How talented are you?
Yun Qingqing thought to herself, you are too rich.
"Did your master also teach you to use Hao Qing to set up the formation?" she asked again.
Xiao Changheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and his expression was a little complicated:
"Master taught me to use the sword you made and the spiritual power contained in it to set up a formation."
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows:
“That’s a solution.”
However, using the spiritual power of a sword to draw a formation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will have great limitations in actual combat.
"As for Hao Qing...after it woke up recently, I suddenly knew how to control it to set up the formation."
Xiao Changheng told the truth.
In fact, he not only knew how to use Haoqing to set up the formation, but also suddenly had several more formations in his mind that looked particularly powerful, which were more profound and complex than those he had seen in ancient books.
These days he was in Liangyan City, mainly keeping an eye on the actions of Xilan and Beicang to prevent the war from spreading to Daliang. In fact, he had a lot of free time, which he used to think about the formation.
The Evil Binding Formation used today is also a new formation that appeared in Haoqing's mind after he woke up this time.
Yun Qingqing drank her tea silently, but her heart was not as calm as she appeared to be.
An array like the Binding Evil Array would take at least several years for even a talented disciple from a large sect like the Seven Stars Palace to learn and use it perfectly in actual combat.
Xiao Changheng's learning speed is incredible.
She pondered for a moment, then put down her teacup:
"Can you let me take a look at Hao Qing?"
Xiao Changheng nodded, lifted up his right sleeve, revealing a cold white wrist.
His mind moved slightly, and a faint white light appeared on his wrist. In an instant, it turned into a pure white bracelet that matched his wrist perfectly.
Yun Qingqing stared at the bracelet for a moment, then raised her hand and summoned Xue Ling from space.
