Chapter 85
one day ago.

Night fell and the weather was cold.

There was a burst of eager footsteps in the veranda, and the little lady in the palace skirt was wearing a velvet coat and carrying a skirt, and walked through the doorway anxiously.

Logically speaking, no one would be idle and have nothing to do in the morning to quarrel with other people's dreams, but this matter is so important.

The little lady stopped in front of the luxurious partition door, patted her chest to relieve her breath, rolled up her sleeves and was about to knock on the door—

"...Jing'er... um ha... Jing'er..."

There was a blushing gasp from the bedroom, the little lady's raised hand froze slightly, a flush of blush on her face, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

Why is the sage coming again... several times in the past two days...

If she accidentally breaks through this kind of thing, even if she is given 1 guts, she won't dare to disturb her, so she probably can only pretend that she didn't hear her, and leave quickly.

But this time the matter is no trivial matter, if it is delayed, in the end, she will be blamed for the little palace maid who spread the word.

Thinking of this, the little female official pursed her thin lips aggrieved, hesitated again and again, or knocked on the door tremblingly:
"Holy...Holy, the slaves have something to report."

The heavy breathing of the woman in the bedroom stopped abruptly.

The little female officer pursed her thin lips, and when she heard the rustling of clothes inside, she shivered and didn't dare to make a sound.

After waiting for a long time, the woman in the bedroom seemed to have nothing happened, and said indifferently:

"Precise play."

The little female officer breathed a sigh of relief, recalling what Eunuch Liu told her just now, her words were clear, and she said respectfully:
"Reporting to the sage, it is His Royal Highness Zhao... Last night, His Royal Highness Zhao was still studying hard in the study room. When the maid went to check this morning, I could not find His Highness Zhao anywhere..."

"Any news?" the woman said.

The little female official sighed lightly and continued: "Eunuch Liu has sent dark guards to search the whole city, but he has not returned so far, and there is no news yet."

squeak-

The wooden door opened to the inside, and Qiu Xuanji, who was wearing a concubine's red palace dress, had cold eyes, and Lian Bu gently moved out.She stared at the white clouds in the sky, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, she glanced at the little lady next to her and said:
"Where are the seventy thousand demonized people?"

The little lady was stunned, she thought that Qiu Xuanji would be very anxious to ask about Qiu Shangyun, but she didn't expect the first sentence to be something else...

In front of the Sage, she did not dare to assume the Sacred Heart, but after a slight hesitation, she replied:
"According to the letter from the spies, we can arrive outside the North City Gate tomorrow..."

Qiu Xuanji's eyes drooped slightly, and her tone was calm: "I know, let the dark guard continue to search for the whereabouts of King Zhao."

"Ah... according to the order."

Seeing the little female official froze in place, Qiu Xuanji glanced at her lightly: "Is there anything else?"

The little lady came back to her senses and heard the sage's order to evict guests. She hurriedly folded her hands around her waist and saluted, saying, "The slave and maid leave."

Qiu Xuanji stood in the courtyard wrapped in silver, raised her hand to catch a snowflake, and stared blankly as the snowflake turned into a pool of clear water in her hand.

For a long time, a faint sigh echoed in the imperial garden.

"Jing'er, what would you do if it were you?"

And just like that, the time came to the second day.

After a whole day of search yesterday, it can be said that the entire Zi Mo has been searched over and over, but Zhao Wang Qiu Shangyun has never been found, and there is not even any news.

On the contrary, the matter of King Zhao's disappearance spread like wildfire. It was obviously a secret order of the Tianjia family, and it must not be spread out.

boom--

The sound of footsteps resounding like the shaking of the earth and the mountains rang out from the northern city, and countless wild beasts roared one after another.

Qiu Xuanji, who was in front of the case handling official business, paused for a moment, got up slowly, and looked at the pale-faced female officer beside her, her indifferent tone revealed the majesty that could not be refused:
"Go to the North Gate."

-

boom -

boom -

The marching footsteps were like thunder blasts, the mountains on both sides were covered with snow and landslides, and in the canyon, the smoke and dust rolled up three feet high with each footstep.

The dark crowd braved countless scarlet shades. This neat pace did not look like an irrational beast, but like a well-trained elite army.

The four to five hundred people on the city tower watched this scene with straight eyes. They were the "elite army" who managed to stay behind under the strong request of the courtiers. past life.

But when Nan Chu came five years ago, it wasn't like this, right?
All the "Jingjun" were dumbfounded.

Surrounded by several old generals in armor, Qiu Xuanji walked to the top of the tower and glanced at the demonized army below.

The demonizing army seemed to sense her gaze, and at the same time stopped its marching footwork.

The constant roaring footsteps came to an abrupt end, and the suddenly quiet atmosphere caused the people on the tower to be stunned for a moment.

Before they could see a question mark on their heads, the neatly arranged demonized army formed a long and narrow path from the middle to both sides, and an invisible figure in a black robe walked over slowly.

Da da da……

The mountains on both sides were rugged, leaving him alone with the echoing footsteps, and thousands of red eyes greeted him respectfully. Even though he was dressed simply, he still exuded a terrifying atmosphere that should not be underestimated.

The black-robed man stopped at the front of the demonizing army. He looked up at the red-dressed empress on the city tower, and said slowly in a hoarse and deep voice:
"Your Majesty welcomes him in person, and I feel apprehensive... Although this old man was ordered to attack the imperial city, he has received a lot of care from His Majesty before. He specially prepared two small gifts, please accept it with a smile."

On the tower, an armored general heard the words of the man in black robe, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Qiu Xuanji:

"Your Highness, the origin of this thief is unknown, I am afraid there is a deceit..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Xuanji raised his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, phoenix eyes staring at the man in black robe below, as if he wanted to see what tricks he was playing.

Seeing this, the armored general had no choice but to retreat.

Eunuch Liu shook his head again and again, this man really has no command of the general, is it worth it, even a fool can see that he is deceitful, what do you need to say?

The man in black robe noticed Qiu Xuanji's cold gaze, and the old face hidden under the hood squeezed out a smile. He reached out and grabbed both sides of the hood, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty the Empress, you have taken care of the old avatar before, and the old man is not dead yet!"

He abruptly lifted his hood, revealing an old face that was a follower of King Wei's backstab, She Zheng.

However, She Zheng thought that this shocking news would make Qiu Xuanji be stunned for at least a while, but he didn't expect that the moment he said it, the whole scene froze.

An embarrassing atmosphere like the death of the society lingered around, and a few white-feathered immortal birds flew over the dusty sand field. It seemed strange why this group of humans suddenly stopped talking.

Qiu Xuanji didn't even move her eyebrows from beginning to end, as if she wasn't surprised by this "shattering news".

"..." She Zheng's face stiffened.

He coughed dryly, and in order to ease the embarrassment of the death of the society, he talked about the next topic:
"As expected of Her Majesty the Empress, I must have guessed that I'm not dead yet... The old man is a little curious, how did you see it?"

Qiu Xuanji said in a low voice, "It doesn't feel right to burn a corpse."

"..."

Does this thing have a feel to it?
She Zheng couldn't think of a reason, and laughed bluntly "haha".When the laughter stopped, he suddenly said coldly:

"Your Majesty the Empress, since you are not satisfied with the first gift, please enjoy the second gift."

Saying that, he waved his hand.

In an instant, the demonized people behind She Zheng collectively let out a roar, and the order and chaos just now were no longer seen, just like an irrational beast and demon, frantically gnawing at the "similars" around him.

A few demonized people left the team and ran towards the closed gate of the tower.

"Ah...help...don't..."

"Help... help..."

"Don't come! Don't come...!"

Hearing the cry for help from the demonization army, the courtiers on the tower were stunned.

They seemed to feel something, and quickly borrowed the 'Hyper-Sighted Eagle Eye' from the guard, and observed the scene inside the demonization army through the long-tube-shaped spiritual tool.

The crowd of black demons seems to be unfolding a disorderly beast carnival.

Pairs of scarlet pupils revealed animal madness, and they rushed towards those demonized people with normal eyes, pierced their throats with sharp teeth, and greedily drank hot blood into their stomachs.

She Zheng noticed that the courtiers were stunned, he laughed wildly and spread his hands, as if introducing this spectacular scene:

"You don't know yet? Although demonized people will be controlled by the old, but as long as they are not devoured by demons...that is, half-demon who are not red-eyed, they are no different from ordinary people!...In other words, they are also demonized people. food!"

She Zhengyin raised his hand with a smile, the red-eyed demonic person's gaze returned to dullness, and he stood beside him again and acted as a spectator.

After a bloody storm, the ground was full of stench of blood and corpses; the frightened half-demon sat paralyzed together, ignoring the filth and stench on his body to keep warm, and the mournful cries resounded through the canyon.

"Your Majesty, the old man wants you to make a choice."

She Zheng held his hands empty, and a black mist appeared in the air. He stretched out his hand to explore, and when he came out, there was already a clean gooseneck on his hand.

The handsome boy in Yunpao was captured by She Zheng. He shook his head stiffly, a piece of white cloth was stuffed into his mouth, and he could only make a "woohoo" sound, but the horror in those eyes was the You can also feel it from a distance of several dozen meters.

She Zheng grinned maliciously, his five fingers slowly exerted force, and Qiu Shangyun, who was tied by his neck, became more and more difficult to breathe, and even rolled his eyes.

"As the old man said just now...Although the demonized people are not saved, the half-demon can still be saved. Now the demonized people in Dali, the old man can guarantee that more than half of them are half-demon, and they are all in the old age. Under control, including life and death..."

He paused, then continued: "Your Majesty the Empress, since you took the throne, you have always been wise and wise to love the people like a son... In this case, this old man wants to know, when your family and the people of Dali are placed on the same day, what will you do? What choice do you make?"

Qiu Shangyun's original consciousness was still a little blurry, but when he heard what She Zheng was referring to, he quickly raised his head in shock, his pupils trembling constantly.

On the tower, when they heard She Zheng's hidden and insidious words, the faces of the cabinet ministers, old generals and others changed greatly.

What a vicious conspiracy!

If you choose Qiu Shangyun, you will carry the notoriety of disregarding the life and death of the people of Dali, on the contrary, it is equivalent to killing your close relatives.

There is nothing better than this.

Among all the people present, only Wudaomen, who had been silent for a while, changed his eyes, thought again and again, and even climbed into a joyous look, and even the eyes that looked at She Zheng became pleasing to the eye.

After the affair between King Wei and King Yan, their original power in the court was almost swept away, but there was nothing they could do about Qiu Xuanji's power.

Seeing that Qiu Shangyun is actually working hard to become stronger, the next emperor seems to be sitting firmly in the country, and their dream of a puppet emperor is about to shatter...

Unexpectedly, the twists and turns, this demonization storm that swept the entire Dali, actually knocked open a crack in the previously sealed window!

These two choices, both positive and negative, can hit Qiu Xuanji a wave, which is simply a matter of pie in the sky.

On the tower, the spectators who had basically nothing to do with him had their own thoughts, but Qiu Xuanji, the main lord, was silent.

The half-demon surrounded by demonized people heard that he could still be saved, and regardless of the scars on his body, they fell to the ground together, desperately begging for mercy:
"Holy... Please save me... I don't want to die..."

"Holy, the grass people are willing to be cows and horses, and ask the sage to show mercy..."

Qiu Xuanji's phoenix eyes glanced at the half-demon who were crying and shouting. There was no change in their demeanor, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Seeing that Qiu Xuanji didn't speak for a while, she didn't show any action, she frowned and said:
"Your Majesty don't have to worry that I will break my promise, and you don't have to choose... If you still don't make a choice like this, you can only choose the old man for you!"

As he said that, he intensified his strength, and Qiu Shangyun's fair face turned red.

"Woooo..."

All the ministers on the tower were dumbfounded, and the elders of the court took the lead, and knelt down in a large area:

"Sir, it's important to save His Royal Highness King Zhao! The matter of demonizing people can only be postponed and considered..."

When the people from Wudaomen saw this posture, they were immediately unhappy, and hurriedly knelt by the side, putting their heads on the ground, brewing emotions:

"Sacred Lord, think twice! Now the demonization of Dali continues, if it continues like this, it may be in danger for the society! Although the ministers and others are also very saddened by His Royal Highness King Zhao, this is all for the sake of the society! Your Highness!"

The elder of the court glared at Wudaomen and others, and bowed his head again:

"Holy! His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is urgent!"

Wudaomen is not to be outdone: "Sacred Lord! Think again!"

Qiu Xuanji's phoenix eyes were turbulent, and the noise of courtiers arguing endlessly echoed in her ears, but the figure of the black-robed youth appeared in her mind.

If it were you...what would you choose?
Qiu Xuanji closed his eyes and remembered that night in a trance. After dealing with the karmic fire for the first time, he smiled and said to himself:

'You just need to continue to work diligently when you have resentment in your heart until you pass the throne to Qiu Shangyun...that's enough. '

Make the choice you want to make.

Qiu Xuanji opened her eyes, looked at the half-demon who was crying and begging for mercy, raised her jade hand expressionlessly, and rubbed her thumb between her middle and index fingers—

Snapped--

This crisp snap of fingers that seemed to announce the death penalty was particularly clear in the canyon, and the half-demon surrounded by demonized people stopped crying. The heart that was originally occupied by fear, at this moment, only the resentment remained.

They were abandoned!

By the empress, by the emperor, by... the human race.

Qiu Xuanji's slender fingers stretched forward, and the fingertips flew out like a spark produced by metal friction.

That tiny spark flew lightly in the air, and when the swirling snow encountered it, it all moved out of the way on both sides, and then quickly turned into water droplets and fell toward the dusty earth.

She Zheng's face was full of surprise. Taking advantage of the gap between the flying sparks, he carried Qiu Shangyun's neck by the back of his neck, like throwing a burden, and threw it into the demon army, and immediately burst into laughter:

"Today is the time when Empress Dali's Dao Heart was broken! The thousand-year-old demon robbery will repeat itself today!"

The voice fell, and a cloud of black mist condensed in his hand, and shot towards Qiu Shangyun, who was drowned by the demonized people.

"His Royal Highness!!" Eunuch Liu cried out with a pale face.

-

The black mist crossed the sky horizontally and reorganized into countless tiny particles.

A few sluggish demonized people along the road, because they accidentally rubbed against the black mist, their bodies were hollowed out by particles, and countless tiny blood holes penetrated through them, as if they were pierced by thousands of arrows, and they fell down with blood plasma. .

Qiu Shangyun pulled out the white kerchief from his mouth and stomped on the ground with his legs, but he couldn't use any strength.

Seeing that the black fog was about to hit Qiu Shangyun, and the spark on the left was about to set off a monstrous fire——

boom--

A black silver light fell from the sky and smashed straight in front of Qiu Shangyun.

In an instant, the smoke and dust lifted by the silver light flew into the sky, merged with the snow curtain in mid-air, and scattered.

The black fog, like a locust crossing the border, hit the black light, the unstoppable momentum came to an abrupt end, and it separated neatly to both sides, swallowing the demonized people around.

She Zheng's face froze as he laughed wildly.

Qiu Shangyun closed his eyes tightly and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the pain in his body. He tentatively opened half of his eyes and was slightly stunned.

A pitch-black iron gun was inserted between his legs. The lines on the gun body were very simple. The gun blade sank into the ground, and the surrounding cracks were as dense as spider webs.

The traces of the black mist left on the ground were neatly cut in half by the black spear, leaving him intact.

"?"

A question mark appeared on Qiu Shangyun's head, and his head didn't understand what just happened.

woohoo-

The hurricane blew away the clouds and mist, looming over the sky.

Qiu Shangyun noticed that the surroundings suddenly became dark, he raised his head and looked——

"what is that……"

A huge flying pontoon sailed on the clouds in the sky, and the flag blown by the cold wind was written with a magnificent and atmospheric character "dragon".

The courtiers on the city tower were also stunned. It was not that they had never seen Feidu pontoon, but how could there be such a big Feidu pontoon?

You are so big, where are you going to stop?

Of all the people present, only Qiu Xuanji seemed to be not surprised at all. She looked at the outline of the floating boat with a rare trace of tenderness in her eyes.

"Who! Who is it that ruined my holy plan!"

She Zheng roared like crazy, and turned his eyes to the huge floating boat in anger, and was stunned for a moment.

A black shadow the size of a bean crossed the edge of the pontoon and grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pierced air formed an arc-shaped protective film around him, which looked very impressive, but ——

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The screams of the black shadow resounded through the sky.

"..." She Zheng.

"..." The courtiers.

Qiu Shangyun watched helplessly as the shadow smashed towards him, and suddenly seemed to realize something, widened his eyes, and hurriedly ran to the side.

boom--

Another burst of sand swept the sky, and the screams stopped.

After a while, the smoke cleared.

Qiu Shangyun looked at the large human-shaped pit on the ground, and was a little puzzled.

Are you a human?

click-

One hand clawed at the edge of the human-shaped pit, and with a slight force, crushed the rock.

Qiu Shangyun shivered in fright and took a few steps back.

"Ouch...hush, it hurts to death."

The dusty black-robed son climbed out of the human-shaped pit, patted the dust on his body, and complained in his tone.

Swah——

"You can be content. If I hadn't added spells for you, your little body in the water transformation would have fallen to death long ago."

With a flash of inspiration, a fluttering white-skirted woman appeared beside him out of thin air, and said with a look of disgust, "I really don't understand you, why don't you just let me take you down? You have to jump off the boat... It's really interesting. ."

"..." The black-robed son.

A ray of golden sunlight illuminated the canyon, as if the clouds had been swept away by the floating boat.

The light became clear, the dust fluttered in mid-air, and the true face of the black-robed son was gradually revealed.

Qiu Shangyun was also a little curious about who saved him. He looked up, his eyes were stagnant, and his voice almost trembled:

"Jing...Brother Jing..."

"???"

Xu Shoujing raised his brows and felt a chill hit his back. He looked strangely at the little King Zhao who had been away for a month, and chuckled lightly:
"Why, don't you call me nephew?"

Qiu Shangyun's face flushed, and he murmured, "Isn't the royal sister letting me be called..."

Hiss...you blushed a bubble teapot...

Xu Shoujing shivered with a deep aversion to the cold.

"Xu! Shou! Jing!"

A hoarse roar interrupted the conversation between the two, Xu Shoujing's eyes turned cold, and he turned his head to look at the old man who ran out to do things at a lot of age.

She Zheng was holding a cloud of black mist in one hand. It seemed that because his spiritual power was too violent, there were faint signs of it leaking out. The veins on his forehead jumped, and he said angrily:
"Xu Shoujing! You sabotaged my holy religion over and over again! Even if the old man kills you directly, the king will certainly not blame me!"

"..."

Then you probably don't know how much gold I have in your holy religion.

Xu Shoujing recalled the conversation between "Shang Wang" and Zhuo Ding.

The threat in that tone was so threatening that he almost wrote "Wait to die if you dare to touch Xu Shoujing" on his face.

"Hey...Brother Jing, what are you doing..."

Regardless of Qiu Shangyun's surprise, Xu Shoujing carried him on his shoulders and turned to look at Nangong Xiaoxiao.

Nangong Xiaoxiao understood what he meant, and rolled her eyes angrily: "I know, I know, hurry up and leave."

"Thanks, I'll invite you to eat squid later."

After saying that, Xu Shoujing didn't stop there, he pulled out the Shen Jing Punishing Heaven who was inserted in the side, his body turned into an afterimage, and shuttled between the demonized people.

"Where to run!" She Zheng roared, and was about to shoot the black mist in his hand to stop Xu Shoujing.

Suddenly, a tiny shiny dust drifted into his vision.

It seems a little wrong to say that it is dust. It is a Mars. Just passing by, it can emit heat like melting the earth with its particle-like body.

She Zheng was all too familiar with this, it was clearly the technique that Qiu Xuanji had just sent out.

Why are you here?
Isn't the target of this spell not those demonizing people?

Could it be that... her first target was me?
She Zheng's pupils trembled, facing Empress Dali's technique without any contempt, and hurriedly crossed the black fog to block it.

The moment that spark touched the black fog, the long-suppressed aura turned into a red lotus fire, which devoured half of the canyon and mountains.
