Chapter 28 (35)
Yuan Yi said, "I don't bother you much, it's just a small effort." He took out a hand behind his back and said, "I like this knife, but I can't let go of it. But it was taken out of the palace. I think although this tomb is not very formal, it is still the tomb of a prince of the Qing Dynasty. Although he was posthumously named as king after his death, he was the younger brother of Emperor Taizu during his lifetime. It would be inappropriate to bury jewelry with him. But if the emperor rewarded it personally, the meaning would be very different..."
Cao Zhenyan had never seen the death-seeking slash, Shen Shiyun had a wonderful painting, but she had never seen the real thing, nor had she heard others' descriptions. How could she draw the same treasure sword out of thin air? Looking at the scimitar shining and extraordinary weapon that could be seen at first sight. But the things that Prince Zhuang could not be placed too shabby, and it is not surprising that there are a few rare treasures.
He was moved at first sight, but it only took a moment. After all, he was used to being a high-ranking official, and he did not regard the sword as his life as a guest in the martial arts world. Besides, this was a digging of the Qing tombs. He gave it to others with the things of the emperor's ancestors. The wool was released on the sheep, and he did not suffer any loss. The most important thing was to complete the task assigned by Concubine Yun, make contributions in front of the emperor, and promote the title. So he nodded and said, "Okay, after I return to the capital, I will ask the emperor for this sentence. The sword will belong to you."
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? I'll take treasures in the underworld without permission. What's the difference between this and a tomb robber? I'll go to the capital with you and wait for you to report to the emperor and persuade Li to join us."
Cao Zhenyan was afraid that there were too many dreams at night. He didn't know when he would regret it along the way, or he would have to take the life-seeking to his own hands. Moreover, it was better to have less than more things. He would not be so stupid that he would report this precious sword to the emperor. Even if the emperor was generous at the time, he would not be good at face.
Others held something and said in person, "This is taken from your ancestral tomb." No one would feel comfortable. At that time, the death penalty was taken, but all his contributions were wiped out, and they would probably have to be charged with the crime. They were too unworthy. They hurriedly said, "Why do you have to be so time-consuming and laborious? I am the official, and I promise you this sentence. I think that even if I hear it, the holy will be approved. My official's words can represent the emperor."
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Oh, is it really OK? Don't be tired of you for your crime of deceiving the king and ignoring the emperor for the sake of me. Then I would be sorry." Cao Zhenyan repeatedly promised: The young master can rest assured and will not. Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Then the emperor's words must be particularly counted? He will never regret it after he said it?" Cao Zhenyan said, "Of course, you have no jokes!"
Lu Qian suppressed his smile and had to go too far. Seeing that his colleagues were deceived, he did not remind him, but instead gloated. Although this was a task that everyone received, the rewards for merits would be the most important thing for personal merits. If Cao Zhenyan could not get a life-seeking kill that could be taken by him, he would be a great achievement in front of the emperor and Shen Shiyun. Rewards were indispensable, and they would definitely leave a significant impression on the two of them and first set up a place in the palace.
He was once the leader of the Qingtian Village, and his abilities were beyond doubt. What needs to be proved is that both body and mind have surrendered to the court, and are loyal and serve the emperor alone. This matter can only be taken by wisdom, not against the enemy, otherwise he will be recorded in Nangong Xue's eyes.
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Okay, Master Li, I'll advise you now. Lord Cao is so happy that we can't fall behind, let alone there is nothing to worry about in this matter. I'll reply to him so that he can go back to Beijing to report his life." Cao Zhenyan nodded repeatedly.
Li Yijie couldn't help but smile bitterly, and it was not his best to make a fool of himself, which was also something he had never agreed with. Although he had basically understood Yuan Yi's idea, he didn't know how to cooperate with him, so he simply said it directly: "Mr. Cao, in fact, this knife... is the life-seeking slash we just took out from the Nether Hall."
Cao Zhenyan couldn't accept the sudden shocking hearing for a moment, and he was almost confused and said in a daze: "This... is this life-seeking? Then..."
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Yes, this is the Seven Evils' Life-Slaying Slash that is like a fake bag. In fact, Lord Cao, I am very worried about you. If we were really dead in the Underworld Hall just now, you would lead people to search but you can't recognize the real treasure, and you picked up the broken copper and iron weapons of others on a pile. Wouldn't it be bad? Alas, you just promised to give me the Life-Slaying Slash to you, right? You can tell the emperor that it is because you care about his dragon body. It is not appropriate to dance swords and guns all day long. Therefore, out of kindness, you took your own initiative and found a more suitable master for the sword and then asked him for credit. The emperor is kind and open-minded, and he will definitely not blame you."
Cao Zhenyan finally realized that he was trapped and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense?" Yuan Yi said: "I didn't say anything. I praised Long Live as a good emperor who loves the people as a son, is kind and open-minded. But you scold me for talking nonsense, hey, then your thoughts are not great. People respect their king, how can you curse the emperor in your heart and stop others from supporting him? Lord Cao, inciting public opinion and instigating chaos, this is 'the heart is punishable'..."
Cao Zhenyan said angrily: "You kid, can you afford to enjoy yourself easily? Those words don't count them!"
Yuan Yi said: "I don't know how much it costs to spend an hour to spend? I should be able to pay for it by digging my pockets. Alas, I didn't know who told me just now. The emperor said nothing, and you are the one who made me promised me on behalf of the emperor's golden mouth. You should be careful. If you repent, you will openly accuse the emperor of being untrustful and going back on your word? If you make such rumors, you will not be a big crime. Well, it's probably a "slaying the nine clans". This doesn't matter to the adults. Anyway, the heads of the people are just a big scar. As for the heads of others, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Cao Zhenyan's face became more and more ugly. Lu Qian could no longer help but laugh. Cao Zhenyan said angrily: "Master Lu, why are you laughing? Why don't you come up and say a few fair words to me?"
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Well, justice, justice. Justice is in the hearts of the people. Lord Cao, it's not that I say you, this is just your wrong. No matter how good you rely on your achievements, thinking that you are a celebrity in front of the Regent, you are fearless and shouldn't provoke the emperor's majesty. If you give his treasures to the country privately, it's not appropriate. I can't help you because you have caused too much trouble. Besides, there are so many people here who have seen it, and one of them leaked the news, which is a major disaster for the adult's career. Unless you kill them all and kill people to silence them! Although it takes so much trouble, it's still a move to slap the soldiers and protect the car. As long as you say, you don't have to do it yourself, I'll solve it for you. Look, brothers are so righteous, right?"
Cao Zhenyan was so angry that he was about to faint, and shouted, "Li Yijie, this matter was explained by the Empress. Is it my task alone? Are you planning to kill yourself, or what? If you don't know the current affairs, don't blame me for offending me." Li Yijie said coldly, "It's okay, anyway, when we first recognized it, we were enemies, so it's okay to have another one. You are just as a wolfish ambition as Jiang Liechen, so you will see that he is a like-minded friend."
Cao Zhenyan said angrily: "Don't toast and not eat the punishment! You dare to compare this official with the devil who harmed the world! Come on!" As he waved his hand and rushed up with the officers and soldiers behind him. He fought alone with Li Yijie, while the generals fought with the martial arts people at the entrance of the cave.
Just as Li Yijie was about to draw his sword, the Sword of Life suddenly came out from under his trunk. Yuan Yi smiled faintly and said, "President Li, if you lose someone, you can't lose your face when you use force with others. Sword of Life will lend you first, remember to win for me."
Li Yijie was excited and said, "Yes, thank you!" He reached out to hold the hilt of the knife and met Cao Zhenyan's attack. The hole at the other side was collapsing more and more severely.
There were only two people on the court who stood aside and watched the fun and did not help each other. Lu Qian slowly walked to Yuan Yi and watched the battle with a calm face. Yuan Yi looked relaxed and did not care about their victory or defeat.
Li Yijie heard the sound of falling rocks behind him, and he didn't know how long it would take for everyone below to hold on. He just wanted to fight quickly and attack quickly, regardless of his physical strength.
He was anxious, Cao Zhenyan was even more anxious than him. At this time, he could only get the life-seeking as soon as possible and lose his merits. His subordinates would not dare to break up any more. Otherwise, this mistake that was tempted would be a serious crime. In an anxious manner, he was led by Li Yijie's fast attack. He had to defend and could not attack. Li Yijie did not intend to let him have it. His moves were ups and downs and he could draw people's vital points.
Cao Zhenyan thought to himself: "When will this kid improve so much in his kung fu? Is he really having another chance to become the leader of the martial arts world?" At this time, a long sword suddenly appeared beside him. It was probably a chaotic battle on the field, and a man's weapon was released and he happened to fly here. It was the help of heaven. He took a step back, pressed his palm on the hilt of the sword, and rotated around the sword in circles, aiming to make the opponent dazzle.
As soon as Li Yijie saw Cao Zhenyan's intention, he stood still, but the position indicated by the tip of the knife was still in his vital position. No matter where he was going to use his move, he could always resist it. Cao Zhenyan could see that the opportunity had been lost and dared not delay it. He just walked around him, took a risk in embarrassment, drew up the long sword, and picked it forward from bottom to top. This move was enough to penetrate his lower abdomen.
Li Yijie had never seen such a desperate fight. He hurriedly picked up the life-seeking slash and smashed it down. With a "crack", the long sword broke into two pieces. Before Cao Zhenyan could react, Li Yijie had already bullied himself up, grabbed his shoulder with one hand and put the knife in his neck with the other hand. He shouted: "Stop!"
The Qing court was extremely strict in training soldiers. If there was a slight disobedience during the battle, it would be dealt with strictly with military laws. At this time, the officers and soldiers did not receive the orders of the master and did not dare to stop without authorization. Several people also observed the situation here quietly. After all, it was also impossible to afford to be injured by the master.
Cao Zhenyan put a knife in his throat, but he was still unafraid of it. He said in a deep voice: "Little thief, you are just relying on the advantages of weapons. I don't accept it, I don't accept it! If you have the guts, follow me..." Li Yijie cut his life tightly and said: "This is not a martial arts competition. Just win. Who cares whether you accept it or not? Let your people put down their weapons and retreat farther."
Cao Zhenyan said angrily: "Li Yijie, betray Concubine Yun, don't think there is a good result...you...you don't want us to surrender..." Li Yijie said: "You can't give orders?" The search for life tightened a little more, and blood was leaking from Cao Zhenyan's throat. He had no choice but to say: "Everyone put down his weapons and retreat."
Li Yijie said: "Who is instructing the tomb sealing and releaseing poisonous smoke? As long as there is a word of dishonest, I will cut your neck." Cao Zhenyan sneered: "Who else can you? Who do you think can you be? Concubine Yun knew that you were kind-hearted and would not be willing to use your identity as the leader to frame your subordinates, so she had to hide this from you..."
