Chapter 231 The King of a Lost Country 31

The sky seemed to be pierced through overnight, and the rain poured down.

The terrain around Mingguang Palace is relatively low, and the accumulated water that could not be drained away in time submerged people's ankles.

The fighting that had stopped because of Nan Liujing's appearance started again.

But this time, the balance of victory was constantly shifting from Ji Yushan's side to Nan Liujing's side.

Defeat was only a matter of time.

The Sixth Prince looked at the guards who kept falling, and his cowardice and fear of death finally awakened his reason: "Uncle grandfather, mother, let's retreat!"

"Retreat? At this point, where can we retreat to!"

Concubine Ji grew up in Jiangnan. She looked gentle and affectionate, but she was not the kind of indecisive person.

She took two steps forward, picked up two knives from the bodies of the dead guards, and stuffed one of them into the arms of the Sixth Prince: "Le'er, even if we successfully escape from the capital, we can't escape from Kyoto. Don't forget that there are tens of thousands of northern troops stationed outside Kyoto." As

soon as the knife was in his hand, the Sixth Prince felt the sticky feeling of blood.

This disgusting and slippery touch made him subconsciously want to throw the knife away, but Concubine Ji's words stopped him from doing so.

The Sixth Prince's face was pale: "Mother, I understand."

Concubine Ji sighed.

She was injured when she gave birth to the Sixth Prince and could no longer get pregnant, so she couldn't help but pamper her only child.

Originally, Concubine Ji did not think that there was anything wrong with the way she raised her child. After all, the Sixth Prince was still young. With her and the Ji family protecting him, the Sixth Prince had enough time to grow up and endure the test of wind and rain.

But after knowing that Yao Nan was Nan Liujing, Concubine Ji looked at the Sixth Prince again and suddenly felt a little regret from the bottom of her heart.

She refused to admit that her child was not as good as Yao Rong's child, so she could only admit that she had not taught her child well.

Now is not the time to think about these things. The above thought only flashed through Concubine Ji's mind. Her expression quickly became resolute and she turned to look at Ji Yushan: "Uncle, what should we do?"

Ji Yushan was supported by someone and looked very weak, but if anyone underestimated him, they would definitely suffer a great loss.

It can be said that this is the time when Ji Yushan is the craziest.

The situation has come to this point, and he and the Ji family have no way out. They can only throw all the chips they can on the table like a crazy gambler.

"Over the years, the Ji family has spent a huge amount of money to train a group of death warriors."

Ji Yushan made a strange gesture in a certain direction: "Now, it's time for these death warriors to be loyal to the Ji family."

As long as they can successfully assassinate Nan Liujing, their Ji family will still have a glimmer of hope.

But want to assassinate Nan Liujing?

Not to mention Yao Rong who has been on guard, just say Qi Si who has always stood by Nan Liujing, he is a member of the Dark Pavilion!

When it comes to assassinations, the Dark Pavilion is the most professional.

No matter how elite these death warriors are, when they are in front of the Dark Pavilion, they feel like they are showing off their swords in front of Guan Gong.

Qi Si is not afraid of them showing up, but afraid that they will not show up.

The most dangerous time for an assassin is often when he is lurking in the dark and has not taken action.

When the assassin revealed his whereabouts, he lost the threat.

Qi Si disappeared from Nan Liujing's side, and about a quarter of an hour later, he returned quietly.

Nan Liujing asked, "Is everything solved?"

Qi Si wiped his hands and said, "Everything is solved."

"Then let's make a quick decision." Nan Liujing touched his wet clothes, "It's raining too hard. If I stand like this, I will have to drink at least three bowls of ginger soup tonight."

Qi Si was amused and knew that Nan Liujing was joking.

However, on the battlefield where swords and swords are blind, he could make such a joke, which showed that Nan Liujing was in a relaxed state of mind.

"You have to start taking action." Qi Si said, "My eldest brother is missing. He must be hiding in a corner now, preparing to shoot two more arrows at Ji Yushan."

Nan Liujing nodded, his expression gradually calmed down, and his eyes and eyebrows revealed a strong murderous intent.

"Go!"

***

After Nan Liujing launched a general attack, Ji Yushan's side, which was originally at a disadvantage, showed signs of complete defeat.

The guards surrounding Ji Yushan and his men fell one after another.

In the end, there were only a dozen people left in front of Ji Yushan and his men.

"No need to help me."

Ji Yushan pushed away the hands of Concubine Ji and the Sixth Prince, and stood up with his back straight.

At this moment, he had lost his entire twenty-year plan, but he was unwilling to show weakness in front of the enemy.

"Third Prince, I'm sure you won't let the Ji family go, right?"

Nan Liujing held the Emperor's Sword and asked, "Did you let the Yao family go back then?"

"That's right." Ji Yushan laughed at himself, "I treat others like this, so I can't blame others for treating me like this."

Everyone thought that Ji Yushan was going to confess before his death, or declare regret for his failure.

But to everyone's surprise, at the moment the words fell, Ji Yushan actually pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed himself in the heart without hesitation.

His movements were too fast.

So fast that most people didn't react.

Nan Liujing was the first to react, but he was too late to stop him.

But people can't stop it, but arrows can!

The arrow, like a meteor, flew across the crowd, cutting through the wind and rain, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air and a terrifying murderous intent, and collided with the dagger.

One arrow knocked the dagger off.

When the second arrow flew, Ji Yushan had been pinned to the ground by Nan Liujing.

Concubine Ji and the Sixth Prince were also captured.

Qi Mingxu jumped out from the bushes nearby, with a quiver on his shoulder and a bow and arrow in his hand.

He walked to Nan Liujing, put one foot on Ji Yushan's shoulder, and put his free hand on Nan Liujing's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Do you win this round or do you win?"

Nan Liujing said: "It depends on whether your arrow, Brother Qi, deliberately knocked his dagger off course or hit it accidentally."

Qi Mingxu spread his hands and said honestly: "Well, actually, I saw you talking to him there, so I secretly aimed at his heart and prepared to run away. Who knew that this old guy was going to stab his own heart with a dagger."

His assassination attempt accidentally turned into stopping Ji Yushan from committing suicide.

Nan Liujing said, "We are betting on who will chop off Ji Yushan's head first. Now that Ji Yushan has been captured, why don't we call this a draw?"

"That's fine. Anyway, it doesn't matter who kills this old man, but we can't let him die too easily."

The two of them had a heated discussion about who would win and who would lose in such a serious situation. Qi Si, who was listening to them, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pushed them away and signaled the dark guards to help Ji Yushan up.

The dark guards dragged Ji Yushan out of the water like a dead dog.

Qi Si complained: "If you keep talking, Ji Yushan will be suffocated by you."

Looking at Ji Yushan, whose face was as pale as gold paper and whose breath was weak, Qi Mingxu felt no guilt at all: "I thought he would be drowned."

"He won't be drowned, but he might be angry to death." After saying that, Nan Liujing turned and stared at Ji Yushan, "Do you know why it took me some time to get to the palace?"

Ji Yushan was stunned for a long time, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"I was a little late because I took people to chase the Ji family." Nan Liujing's voice was very soft, but it frightened Ji Yushan more than thunder. "I said I would hold the Ji family accountable. No one from your family can escape!"

"Ji Yushan, no matter how many plans you have or how powerful you are, they are just tricks in front of absolute strength." Ji

Yushan's pupils suddenly widened. He never thought that his last back-up plan would be discovered by Nan Liujing.

The big raindrops hit his face. He subconsciously raised his head, but he felt that everything in front of him was uncertain.

A flash of lightning suddenly split the sky, illuminating the world, but Ji Yushan could not see anything.

His cloudy eyes gradually dimmed, and his raised head gradually drooped weakly.

Just as his breathing was about to stop, he vaguely heard the familiar voice again, like the final urging of the god of death.

"Since you are all going to die, use your blood to sacrifice my sword."

The cold sword blade broke through the air.

The sword fell and blood rose.

This ambitious official who had been in power for twenty years, still fell under the same sword and died at the hands of the same person as in the original historical line.
