Chapter 252: Brother Qian Chen's sure kill, Master Miaokong's identity

"Escort the Crown Prince out of the city to hunt in the west. After the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will all be meritorious ministers who follow the dragon. Follow the Crown Prince to rebuild the Great Tang. The Great Emperor had the twenty-four meritorious ministers of the Lingyan Pavilion, and the Guangwu Emperor had the twenty-eight generals of the Yuntai. The Crown Prince has you. When the time comes, you will glorify your ancestors, wear red and purple, and enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

In front of the Zhu Que Gate, the captain who followed the Crown Prince incited the Forbidden Army guards under his hand, and the eunuch Bian Bian Lingcheng nodded slightly beside him.

Li Heng led the Crown Prince's subordinates and the civil and military officials who defected to him out of the hall and walked in front. Behind him were the Crown Princess and a group of palace maids and attendants, and finally five thousand Shenwu Forbidden Army soldiers. As the Zhu Que Gate slowly opened, Li Heng took the lead, bringing the closest Li Li Fuguo and others, and walked out of the city gate first.

But at this time, Bian Bian Lingcheng showed a mysterious smile and stopped at the city gate!

Li Heng did not notice. The group of Forbidden Army soldiers led by Bian Bian Lingcheng blocked the city gate, blocking the Crown Princess and even several young imperial princes at the Zhu Que Gate. Until the Crown Princess gave a scream, Li Heng turned his head when he heard the sound, but saw the Zhu Que Gate slowly closing, separating him from the five thousand Shenwu Forbidden Army soldiers. When the Zhu Que Gate closed until only a slit remained, Bian Bian Lingcheng's face was still calm.

Li Heng was stunned and roared: "What's going on?"

Inside the Primordial Taiji Palace city, the five thousand Shenwu Forbidden Army soldiers were also restless. The group of captains loyal to Li Heng were about to question, but their personal guards beside them slashed with knives, cutting off their heads. Following the appearance of the Profound Emperor in a bright yellow shirt on the Zhu Que Gate city wall, thousands of Long Wu Forbidden Army soldiers poured out of the square on both sides inside the Zhu Que Gate, and under the leadership of Chen Chen Xuanli, surrounded the five thousand Shenwu Forbidden Army soldiers at the Zhu Que Gate from three sides.

Chen Chen Xuanli said loudly: "The Crown Prince rebelled, only the chief culprit will be executed, and the rest will not be investigated."

The five thousand Shenwu Forbidden Army soldiers were still hesitating, but as a captain in the army took the lead to kowtow to the Profound Emperor on the city wall, more Forbidden Army soldiers, with their leaders killed by the personal guards beside them and the Crown Prince's faction having no leader, finally put down the weapons in their hands and knelt down toward the Profound Emperor one after another.

The Profound Emperor sighed slightly on the city wall and said: "Tell me! What exactly is going on?"

Gao Gao Lishi knelt beside the Profound Emperor and said in a low voice: "Everything the old slave did was for His Majesty, without any selfishness, please His Majesty clarify! Last night, His Majesty was trapped by inner demons, and Li Bai came to see the old slave and said that to save His Majesty, only two fierce medicines could be used. One is to kill Yang Taizhen Fei to stabilize the morale of the army and wake His Majesty up from the inner demons. The second is to find the person who secretly calculated His Majesty and eliminate him. Only then can the root of His Majesty's inner demons be cut off!"

"Only then can His Majesty recover his sanity and be completely sober."

"Don't push everything to Li Taibai. Li Taibai doesn't care whether Huang Yuhuan lives or dies. Killing Yang Taizhen was your idea, right!"

The Profound Emperor said coldly.

Gao Gao Lishi trembled all over and said in a low voice: "The old slave thought that Yang Taizhen Fei was His Majesty's inner demon. When Yang Taizhen came to His Majesty's side, His Majesty became more and more like a person. Yang Taizhen Fei laughed, and His Majesty also laughed. Yang Taizhen Fei cried, and His Majesty also felt distressed."

"What kind of inner demon is this?" The Profound Emperor's voice had an unspeakable majesty, without a trace of anger, but it made Gao Gao Lishi tremble.

Gao Gao Lishi said in a low voice: "But Your Majesty, the emperor is not just a person! The imperial way is originally a heartless way. Now the world is in turmoil, and the Great Tang is in danger. How can His Majesty still have true feelings for the Imperial Consort? In ancient times, Yu Ji died to remonstrate with Xiang Wang, and today only Imperial Consort can die to wake up the wise and martial His Majesty of the past."

"What did Li Taibai tell you to do?" The Profound Emperor asked in a low voice.

Gao Gao Lishi sighed: "He told me to hand over the Shangqing Bead to someone. He said that the person who secretly calculated His Majesty only aimed at the Shangqing Bead. Only the Shangqing Bead can lure him out, and only by being willing to use the Shangqing Bead as bait can this hidden danger be completely eliminated."

The Profound Emperor said in a low voice: "Then did he tell you that the bait is not only the Shangqing Bead, but also my Crown Prince?"

Gao Gao Lishi was silent. Behind the Zhu Que Gate, the skin on Bian Bian Lingcheng's neck slowly cracked a gap. This gap slowly extended, and after a while, a black-clothed demon cultivator jumped out from Bian Bian Lingcheng's skin sac...

After the human skin faded, Brother Qian Chen's subordinate, the Yin Demon Ximu, appeared.

…………

At dawn today, Bian Bian Lingcheng led the remnants of the Tongguan army back to Chang'an. When he was about to report the battle situation to the Profound Emperor, he met Brother Qian Chen outside the hall. At that time, Brother Qian Chen smiled slightly, stood in front of the railing under the hall, and said with his hands behind his back: "Eunuch Bian, have you heard the legend of the Moon Demon Painting Skin?"

…………

Brother Qian Chen smiled at Yan Shu: "It's not just Master Miaokong who has the ability of foresight. He probably served as a eunuch in the palace! The only people he can trust are eunuchs. And why he chose a eunuch, or what his hidden identity is, I probably already know!"

Yan Shu said: "Since that's the case, why not take advantage of the demon army's arrival and kill him overnight?"

Brother Qian Chen shook his head slightly: "I already said, that's just an identity? If you go to attack this person now, what you kill is just a white bone demon! Acting rashly will only make him hide deeper. There are so many eunuchs in the palace, what's the difficulty in changing an identity? In ordinary times, he only needs to manipulate the white bone demon, and only when he has to appear in his true body can he truly catch his horse's feet."

Brother Qian Chen turned to look at the human skin hanging on the shelf beside him. A black qi attacked and pierced into the human skin. Soon the human skin swelled up and turned into a living Bian Bian Lingcheng, standing in place, somewhat uncomfortable touching his crotch.

Ximu said with a bitter smile: "Master!"

Brother Qian Chen said to Zhong Kui beside him: "To lure out his true body, we must force him to act in his true body. The Shangqing Bead is a spiritual treasure of the day after tomorrow, and it is a treasure related to the Li Tang town's national fortune and the Li family's bloodline. Only the Profound Emperor and the Crown Prince can use it. When Master Miaokong seizes this bead, he will definitely use his true body. At that time, I will trouble the Prefect!"

Zhong Kui said: "This is my duty!"

"Bian Bian Lingcheng has long been secretly communicating with the Crown Prince, and is also a chess piece of Master Miaokong. You put on this person's skin and go to seize the Shangqing Bead. Then cooperate with Gao Gao Lishi to force Li Heng and the Shangqing Bead into a desperate situation. Li Heng will never think that the person who seized the Shangqing Bead for him will betray him. Since Master Miaokong refuses to appear, he will definitely hand over relevant matters to you to handle."

Brother Qian Chen said to Ximu.

Yan Shu said in a low voice: "But Master Miaokong wants to seize the Shangqing Bead, he can only use Li Heng. The demon path blood sacrifice and the magic of seizing bloodline are cruel and terrifying. Li Heng's end is afraid..."

Brother Qian Chen gave a cold laugh: "The Great Tang, can't it afford to lose a Crown Prince? The Crown Prince of Li Tang is a consumable. If there is nothing wrong, he will kill two to sacrifice to heaven. Now under the demon robbery, for the sake of tens of millions of people in Chang'an, asking the Crown Prince to die, what is the big deal? Only Li Mi will not agree, so... I won't tell him!"

Brother Qian Chen said calmly: "To force Master Miaokong into the game, first of all, we must know what Master Miaokong is plotting? I originally thought that I came to this world to kill him, and he laid out in this world, of course, to kill me. But in the battle of the Xingqing Palace yesterday, I forced myself to a dead end, and I didn't see him make a move. At that time, I understood that I guessed wrong! Master Miaokong is even more afraid of me than I imagined! I am his inner demon... Heavenly Mandate, and even more his inner demon."

"What he fears is the Heavenly Mandate behind me, so he doesn't think he can kill me at all!"

"If it is said that in the last confrontation, he still had the heart to kill me, then after seeing my demon path body—the Supreme Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Body, he understood that he couldn't kill me at all. At most, he could only force me into the demon path. The fear of Heavenly Mandate forced him to choose this world. He wants to fight Heavenly Mandate with Heavenly Mandate!"

"So the battle of the Flower and Calyx Building, I used myself as bait to lay out, so it failed!"

"So Master Miaokong's true plot in laying out this world is not a life-and-death confrontation with me, but seizing the spiritual treasure. From beginning to end, he never thought about a head-on decisive battle with me. He just wanted to seize the Shangqing Bead or the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tablet, go back to the reincarnation place, sell it, or refine it to become his own powerful resource."

"Therefore, to lure him into the game, first of all... there must be no me!"

…………

Today on the city wall, when Brother Qian Chen played the zither, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the corpse of the army supervisor eunuch nailed to the city wall by him, as if he could see the eyes of another person from the corpse's eyes.

…………

At this time, Brother Qian Chen lowered his right hand, which was already too tired to lift, and a layer of blood light covered the Profound Yellow Yellow Ruyi in his hand. Beside him were the corpses of the demon army lying horizontally and vertically, not lacking old demons with profound cultivation. He stared at the distance, in that direction, a foreign monk and Li Li Linfu came together.

The most tragic battle was about to unfold.

Brother Qian Chen only had one-tenth of his cultivation left, but he had to face two Heavenly Demons in the demon army who had cultivated immortal bodies... Not to mention intervening in the city and dealing with Master Miaokong, just being able to support himself without dying under the hands of these two demon heads today was already a miracle.

Brother Qian Chen looked up slightly, with only calmness in his heart: "This time, Master Miaokong should be in the game, right!"

…………

"Secondly, give him a chance to seize the Shangqing Bead, which is also the only chance!"

…………

The Zhu Que Gate closed slowly, Li Heng's eyes were full of disbelief. Behind him, someone said in his heart in a low voice: "Yang plot? This is the old man's last chance! Putting Li Heng and the Shangqing Bead in front of me, there must be an ambush nearby!"

Master Miaokong turned his head slightly and saw three people walking side by side on the Zhu Que Street.

Yan Shu carried a sword box on his back, holding Brother Qian Chen's red-skinned gourd in his hand. He closed the gourd lid and wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth. He was still carrying the tragic atmosphere after the fighting, and his cloth clothes were all stained with filth, some his own and some others'.

Ning Ning Qingchen held the affectionate sword, carried the Heavenly Luo Umbrella on her back, followed by a big yellow chicken, staring at the Yin person Master Miaokong possessed.

Si Si Qingguo carried her hands behind her back, her dress fluttering. On her shoulder stood an ear-dao god the size of a bean, holding the painting brush that Wu Wu Daozi loved, Si Si Qingguo grabbed the small jade seal in her palm, feeling a little nervous. She took a breath, and only the artifacts in her sleeves could give her the courage to face Master Miaokong directly.

Master Miaokong suddenly laughed wildly. He shook his head while laughing wildly: "I thought it was some kind of ambush? Just this?"

"Brother Qian Chen, you look down on me too much!"

"You don't make a move, just these three melons and two dates, and you dare to kill me?"

Li Heng looked at Li Li Fuguo beside him, who was usually extremely obedient, laughing wildly, his expression completely confused! ===== CHAPTER 253 =====

Li Heng looked at Li Li Fuguo beside him, who was usually extremely submissive, now laughing maniacally, his expression completely lost in madness!
