Chapter 225: No second thoughts, treat each other sincerely
"Why betray our common cause!"
Xiao Qingji was furious.
Xiao Tong still didn't say anything, and didn't even look at him anymore. He turned and walked outside, his eyes falling on Xiao Qinggu who was fighting bloody battles.
Her daughter has really grown up.
"......really!"
Xiao Qingji gritted his teeth and said, "It's really because of her!"
Xiao Tong turned around and glanced at Emperor Chengming, "Who are you still pretending to be for?"
Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu kicked an enemy away together and glanced at each other: What is Xiao Tong talking about? The surrounding noise was too noisy and they couldn't hear clearly.
Emperor Chengming smiled and just as he stood up, Xiao Qingji attacked with his sword.
The Gu man remained motionless, and Yao Lao quickly pulled Emperor Chengming, and Emperor Chengming narrowly avoided the sword.
As long as he is killed, my aunt will have no choice but to walk this last part of the journey with him!
Xiao Qingji's face was filled with hatred, and he wanted to kill Emperor Chengming. Yao Lao pulled Emperor Chengming to dodge, but Xiao Tong didn't care at all, and just stared at Xiao Qinggu silently.
Soon she would never see her child again, so she had to take this opportunity to see him a few more times.
Yao Lao had some kung fu experience. When he was about to run out of the imperial study with Emperor Chengming, a long sword suddenly pierced his abdomen.
Yao Lao felt a chill in his stomach, but he quickly realized that the sword had not hit his vital point.
Xiao Tong glanced sideways and asked, "Have I allowed you to leave this place?"
Ji Suxian looked up, his eyes widened, and he said in a mournful voice: "Master!!!"
The long sword was pulled out from Yao Lao's abdomen, and then kicked out by the Gu Man. After the Gu Man withdrew his foot, he placed the long sword across Emperor Chengming's neck.
Yao Lao fell down the stairs, and Ji Suxian rushed over to help him up, "Master!"
Yao Lao raised his head and secretly gave her a look, and Ji Suxian immediately understood what he meant.
Yao Lao slowly closed his eyes, his hands drooping limply. Ji Suxian wailed miserably and secretly pressed acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. "Master! Xiao Qingji! Xiao Tong! I will kill you!"
Seeing Yao Lao "die" in Ji Suxian's arms, everyone in Baijialou became furious.
Cheng Yishui split the man in half with the long sword in his hand, and Ju Gongcheng smashed the empty hidden weapon shell in his hand hard on the enemy's head.
"Fuck you! Give Yao Lao your life as compensation!"
Xiao Qinggu, surrounded by enemies, asked: "???" Wasn't he stabbed in the same spot as her? How did Yao Lao die?
Shang Yuwan: "..." That wasn't the real problem at all. It seemed like what the princess had said to Xiao Tong in the cell had been quite effective.
Xiao Qingxu frowned. He always felt that Xiao Tong's current behavior was very strange, yet strangely reasonable.
Bai Xiaoye, who had chopped off four or five people's necks in succession, said: "..."
He clearly saw that the wound was not a vital part, and as long as the bleeding was stopped in time, it would not cause death. Although he didn't know why Ji Suxian was crying, he just had to keep up with the others.
Xiao Qingji paused his attack. He was a little confused about what Xiao Tong meant.
She didn't attack Shang Yuwan and the others, but she killed Yao Lao directly. What was she trying to do? Could it be...
Xiao Qingji looked at Emperor Chengming. Now the most important person was being held captive by the Gu master.
He looked back at the Baijialou and the secret guards. These people had been almost completely consumed by his endless supply of private soldiers, and it wouldn't be long before they were all wiped out.
He looked at Xiao Qinggu again. This damned person had suffered many injuries. Even if her muscles and bones were strengthened, it would not be possible to recover in a short period of time. In less than half an hour, she would die at the hands of the private soldiers.
My aunt attacked me before. Could it be that she was afraid that I would develop ulterior motives and seize the throne?
After Xiao Qingji figured it out, he felt relieved, "Aunt, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Tong spoke.
"Ji'er."
"Aunt, I have absolutely no second thoughts about you. If you want to..." Xiao Qingji completely forgot what she had said to Emperor Chengming before, and thought she had misunderstood him. "If you are afraid that I will change my mind, wait until the imperial edict is written before I die, okay?"
“…”
Xiao Qingji was like a madman: "After this battle, perhaps only half of those people will be left. All of them will belong to my aunt. When the time comes, my aunt will rule the world, and the entire Dayu will be in my pocket..."
"Ji'er."
Xiao Tong opened his mouth to interrupt him, black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Qingji was horrified, "Aunt! You've been poisoned!"
At this moment, Shang Yuwan shouted, "Traitor! Give me your life!"
Xiao Qinggu got her hint and immediately shook off the people around him and rushed to the imperial study.
"You are a traitor! Why don't you surrender?"
Although the people of Baijialou had suffered a lot from the private soldiers, their morale was greatly boosted by Yao Lao's "death". Under their protection, Xiao Qinggu successfully broke through the encirclement and ran to the door of the imperial study.
Xiao Qinggu's knife pointed directly at Xiao Qingji. He immediately grabbed Xiao Tong's waist and stepped back several steps, "Aunt! It's time for them to move!"
Xiao Tong's expression was indifferent, and the other Gu people remained motionless. Xiao Qinggu missed Xiao Qingji and immediately swung his blade, killing the Gu people restraining Emperor Chengming and pulling him behind him.
"Father, are you okay?"
Emperor Chengming looked at her deeply, swallowed the blood in his throat, and said, "It's okay."
Xiao Qinggu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Don't worry, Father. With us here, they won't succeed!"
"......Um."
At this time, Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu also rushed up. Shang Yuwan's hands and feet were weak, but he was still holding on and not falling down.
Xiao Qingji protected Xiao Tong tightly behind him. Seeing that the Gu people did not move, he thought that there was something wrong with Xiao Tong's mother Gu.
Ji Suxian noticed that Xiao Qingji's private soldiers were rushing towards the imperial study. He pulled out the last hairpin on his head and thrust it into the neck of an enemy, shouting, "Stop them!"
Cheng Yishui and the others were in high spirits, and the surviving secret guards also hurried over. They relied on their remaining limited fighting power to stop all the private soldiers outside the imperial study.
Shang Yuwan pointed his long sword at Xiao Qingji, "It's time for you to atone for your sins."
Xiao Qingji sneered, "Just you? How long can your people hold out?"
Xiao Qingxu said with a cold face: "You might as well calculate how long she can last."
Xiao Qingji's face darkened. When exactly had his aunt been poisoned?
Xiao Tong and Xiao Qinggu looked at each other. The latter had a wary look and a face full of distrust.
They were indeed not attacked by any Gu people along the way, but Xiao Qinggu was still afraid that Xiao Tong had a backup plan to deal with them.
Xiao Tong laughed at himself in his heart, then looked at Xiao Qingxu and said lightly: "Really?"
Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow flashed before Xiao Qingxu's eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He felt like a rag doll as the Gu master suddenly kicked him out of the imperial study.
"Master of the OP!" Bai Xiaoye and Cheng Yishui were startled at the same time and ran towards Xiao Qingxu together. They caught Xiao Qingxu tightly and almost let him fall heavily to the ground.
"Cough!!!" Xiao Qingxu lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. His originally pale face turned as pale as snow.
Ji Suxian rushed over: "Brother Xiao!"
She reached out to feel Xiao Qingxu's pulse, her expression suddenly becoming extremely terrifying. She took out a silver needle and injected it into Xiao Qingxu, then gave him half of the Nine Revolutions Pill. "Xiao Tong... I'm going to kill you!"
Ji Suxian looked up at the imperial study, only to see Shang Yuwan pushing Emperor Chengming away and falling into the hands of the Gu man.
She wanted to go and rescue people, but there were too many private soldiers, and they also had to protect Xiao Qingxu, so they couldn't get away.
“Sister-in-law!”
At the moment Xiao Qingxu was kicked, Xiao Qinggu was kicked to the other side of the imperial study by a sweeping kick from the Gu people. All the Gu people in the imperial study rushed towards her and could not get to Shang Yuwan at all.
Shang Yuwan was strangled by the poison man, his feet flew into the air, veins bulged on his neck and forehead, and he stared at Xiao Tong with red eyes.
What miscalculation had she made? Had Xiao Tong already been completely bewitched by the Mother Gu before Xiao Qinggu went to see her?
After Emperor Chengming was pushed away by Shang Yuwan, he was hit hard on the back of his head. He immediately reached out to pick up the long sword that Shang Yuwan dropped on the ground and attacked Xiao Tong.
"Looking for death!" Xiao Qingji immediately raised his sword and pierced Emperor Chengming's chest.
The long sword in Emperor Chengming's hand barely brushed past Xiao Qingji's ear. He vomited blood from his mouth, but smiled at Xiao Qingji.
...What is he laughing at?
"We still have such a good understanding."
Xiao Qingji didn't understand what these words meant. His heart suddenly felt cold, followed by a sharp pain.
He looked down in a daze and saw a dagger piercing his heart. Blood slid down the tip of the sword and fell to the ground, like a gorgeous camellia.
Xiao Qinggu's struggle under the Gu man's hands stopped.
"yes."
Xiao Tong's faint voice came from behind Xiao Qingji. She pulled out the dagger, blood spurted onto her face, but she didn't even blink.
"After all, we treated each other sincerely. The tacit understanding we developed in childhood is not so easy to dissipate."
"If I hadn't been bullied like that back then, if you were willing to believe me, perhaps the situation wouldn't be like this today."
Xiao Qingji's hand holding the sword gradually loosened and fell into Xiao Tong's arms.
Emperor Chengming drew the sword from his chest without hesitation, blood oozing from his mouth. He took a few steps back, staggering, and said, "It's a pity... God doesn't always fulfill our wishes."
"The past cannot be retrieved, it's not important anymore." Xiao Tong vomited more and more black blood. He looked at Shang Yuwan and said weakly, "...You won."
Shang Yuwan was stunned: "......"
He hurt her, hurt Xiao Qingxu, hurt Baijialou, killed Xiao Qingji, killed Emperor Chengming, and then killed himself...
"Xiao...Tong."
So you - is this what you were planning?
