No one is stupid. As soon as they saw Madam Min's expression, Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince knew that Madam Min didn't want to negotiate seriously at all. She was just playing tricks on them, or she had other purposes. If she wanted to save people, she had to use force.
Did Madam Min really think that they wouldn't dare to take action because they had no weapons and there were only three of them?
Innocent!
The three of them would never sit still and wait to be slaughtered. Coming to the Cliff of Destiny alone, they were ready to fight to the death, no matter who their opponent was!
The Ninth Prince took advantage of the opportunity to negotiate with Madam Min and approached step by step, shortening the distance between the two sides. When the distance was just right, Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi stood on the left and right. As long as the Ninth Prince made a move, they would be the first to block the people on both sides for him and buy time for him to save people.
Of course, before that...
"Catch it." Feng Qingchen took out the weapons of the Ninth Prince and Xuan Shaoqi from the smart medical bag and threw them to the two of them respectively. Feng Qingchen himself held the seven-shaped hidden weapon mentioned by Mrs. Min in his hand.
"What's going on?" Even though Madam Min had planned everything, she was still shocked when she saw Feng Qingchen take out a weapon out of thin air.
This was not in her plan at all.
"Do it." The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were not so kind as to explain to Madam Min. The moment the Ninth Prince got the weapon, he stabbed Madam Min and the fake Ghost King, but Feng Qingchen's bullet was one step faster than his.
"Bang..." The bullet left the chamber. Mrs. Min watched the bullet coming towards her. She wanted to move away, but she found that her legs felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and she couldn't move at all.
"Your Highness, be careful." The guard beside her reacted quickly, pushing Madam Min away and standing in front of her.
"Bang..." Another bullet flew over, and this time the guards were unable to block it. The fake Ghost King wanted to step forward to block the bullet for Madam Min, but the Ninth Prince held a sword in front of him.
If he tried to block it, he would not only be hit by the bullet, but also by the sword of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince knew that he could not hurt Madam Min, but he still did not put away his sword. He could already predict what choice this fake Ghost King would make.
Sure enough, the fake Ghost King didn't hesitate at all. He ran into the sword of the Ninth Prince without dodging, and then stood in front of Madam Min to block the bullet for her.
Puff... The bullet hit his chest, blood exploded, and the fake ghost king fell to the ground, muttering: "Protect His Highness."
The people of the previous dynasty were so loyal that they were willing to sacrifice themselves and their families to protect Madam Min!
The Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi came with great force, and their attacks were fast and fierce. Even though these assassins were well prepared, they were still panicked for a moment at first. This moment was enough for the Ninth Prince to save one person.
Not surprisingly, the person the Ninth Prince saved was Su Wenqing.
With a sword, he cut the rope that bound Su Wenqing, then the Ninth Prince carried him down and took off the black cloth on Su Wenqing's head and the cloth ball in his mouth.
"Ninth...Uncle." Su Wenqing spoke with difficulty, his eyes red.
A gentleman will die for his friend. Su Wenqing felt that everything he had done was worth it.
"It's okay." The Ninth Prince checked Su Wenqing's pulse briefly and found that his breath was weak. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Hehe..." Su Wenqing laughed bitterly, his eyes turned slightly, and seeing Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi surrounded in the middle, Su Wenqing pushed the Ninth Uncle away: "Don't worry about me, go save Baoer and take her down the mountain. We are brothers, I don't want him to end up with nothing."
The Ninth Prince and Su Wenqing both knew who he was referring to.
Bu Jingyun betrayed them, and even if they didn't pursue it, Bu Jingyun had no face to stay. The moment he chose to betray them, Bu Jingyun was no longer in the same circle as them.
"You don't have to worry about his affairs." The Ninth Prince ignored Su Wenqing and carried him on his back: "Hold on for me, I don't want to see you off to the end."
"Cough cough..." Su Wenqing coughed out a mouthful of blood. He was not a pretentious person and did not reject the kindness of the Ninth Uncle.
He was actually very afraid of death, and he had used up all his courage to say that he would exchange his life for Qin Baoer's.
Besides, he had not done anything wrong to Qin Baoer. Bu Jingyun had used his life to save Qin Baoer once, so he did not owe Qin Baoer anything, and Qin Baoer was not his. He did not need to die for Qin Baoer. He was a businessman, and he never did business at a loss.
The Ninth Prince carried Su Wenqing on his back and joined up with Xuan Shaoqi and Feng Qingchen. The three of them fought and retreated. Xuan Shaoqi and the Ninth Prince relied on their superb martial arts to prevent these assassins from getting close to them, and the gun in Feng Qingchen's hand was very suitable for long-range attack. The three of them worked together, and although they could not break out of the encirclement for a while, they were not captured.
"Shoot." After coming back to her senses from the shock, Madam Min gave the cold order.
From the Ninth Prince's actions, Madam Min knew that they had already fallen out. If she didn't kill the Ninth Prince today, he would not let her go in the future.
She is now the Grand Empress Dowager of Dongling. As long as she is found by the people of Dongling, she will still have the supreme status in Dongling. She no longer needs the Ninth Uncle, but...
"Grab the Jiuzhou Token from Dong Lingjiu." Madam Min will never forget that secret sects such as Xuanyi Valley refused to serve her because she did not have the Jiuzhou Token.
"You think you want the Jiuzhou Token? Dream on." The Ninth Prince raised his head, his sweaty hair brushed across his cheeks, and tiny beads of sweat drew an arc in the air and fell to the ground with a plop.
"The Jiuzhou Token was originally given to you by me. What's wrong with taking it back now?" Mrs. Min was extremely anxious.
She knew she had miscalculated. She had not expected Dong Lingjiu to be so bold that only three people dared to attack her. This completely disrupted her rhythm.
Now that the Ghost King has come, it's not just her using a knife to kill someone, but she is really letting a wolf into the house.
Madam Min was angry but had no regrets. If she could get the Nine Provinces Token from the Ninth Prince before the Ghost King made a move, she would have nothing to worry about.
In the past few years, the Ninth Prince has secretly developed a lot of forces, all of which can be mobilized with the Jiuzhou Token. As long as she gets the Jiuzhou Token, plus the support of the Fengli Clan, most of Dongling will fall into her hands.
Madam Min's calculations were very good, but the premise was that everyone followed her plan. And obviously, she didn't have the ability to make everyone listen to her. Not only did the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen not act according to her expectations, but even the Hundred Ghosts Palace did not do as she wished, and only one ghost king took action.
After learning Bu Jingyun's identity, the people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace prepared to kill Bu Jingyun quietly, but they didn't expect that Bu Jingyun was prepared and cleverly escaped.
Before escaping, Bu Jingyun told the people in Baigui Palace about Madam Min's plan, telling them that the incident at Tianming Cliff was a murder plot planned by the princess of the previous dynasty with the purpose of killing the Ghost King.
When the Hundred Ghosts Palace learned the news, no matter it was true or false, they would definitely bring people to Tianming Cliff to check. If the Ghost King died as a result, they would be finished.
So, when Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince were surrounded by assassins on the top of the cliff, the people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace came to kill them...
