By the time King Qin brought Yuchi Jingde and his party back to Xuanwu Gate, the fight was over.

The King of Qin led a group of people into the palace, leaving Zhang Gongjin with a group of forbidden troops to guard the palace gate.

Feng Li, the dismounted cavalry general of the prince's subordinates, learned that Jiancheng was dead, so he led two thousand elite soldiers and horses from outside the city directly into the imperial city with Xue Wanche, the deputy guard, and Xie Shufang, the left cavalryman.

He galloped all the way to Xuanwu Gate, preparing to avenge the crown prince and Qi King Li Yuanji.

However, at this moment, Zhang Gongjin had already asked the Imperial Army to close the palace gate, and a palace gate blocked Feng Li and others. Naturally, Feng Li and others did not dare to attack the palace.

So after Xue Wanche fired a few arrows outside the palace gate, he turned around and left with his army, all the way to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, preparing to attack the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

The soldiers guarding the Prince of Qin's Mansion were greatly frightened. At this time, there were only a few hundred guards in the Prince of Qin's Mansion. How could they be the match for the prince's army?

At this moment, a group of people quickly rushed towards the palace of Prince Qin.

I saw a soldier coming forward on his horse, pointing at Xue Wanche and others who were preparing to besiege the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and said: "This is the Prince of Qin's Mansion, how can we allow you and others to cause trouble!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers who were preparing to attack immediately turned back.

Looking at the horse, the soldier Xue Wanche replied coldly: "What I am attacking today is Prince Qin's Mansion. If you dare to take a step forward again, I will kill you first!"

The soldiers on horseback showed no intention of retreating, but continued to shout: "The King of Qin has entered the palace to meet the emperor, do you want to harm your family?

"

There were not many elite soldiers under the prince who were afraid of death, but they fell silent when they heard the words of the soldiers on horseback.

Because as a soldier, you can die in battle, but you cannot harm your family.

But if he is convicted of treason by the emperor, his innocent family members will be implicated, which is something no one wants to happen.

As a guard, Xue Wanche knew what the coming man was going to do. He couldn't help but feel angry, his blood rushed up, and he yelled: "Where did you come from, you are looking for death!"

In a gust of wind, more soldiers rushed up behind the soldiers.

Looking around, there are not only a thousand but also eight hundred, and there are also many leaders of the Forbidden Army.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers surrounding the Qin Palace, the leader of the Forbidden Army shouted coldly: "If you are not soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I have the right to mobilize the Imperial City's Forbidden Army to eliminate you here!"

As soon as this statement came out, no one dared to reply.

The armor and clothing of the Forbidden Army were different from those of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty and the elite soldiers of the Prince. All the soldiers could recognize the leader of the Forbidden Army in front of them at a glance.

】

Not to mention the hundreds of Forbidden Army soldiers behind him.

If they went to war against the Imperial Guards, they would be openly defying the emperor, which would be a crime of treason. The lightest case would be beheading, and the worst case would be to implicate one's own relatives.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate.

Amidst the roar of the Qin army's forbidden troops, a war horse like a flying dragon pierced the crowd like a sharp arrow.

One man rode alone and rushed ten feet in front of Xue Wanche.

Facing the two thousand elite soldiers brought by Xue Wanche, the men on horseback rushed over resolutely. This momentum was really impressive.

For some reason, Xue Wanche suddenly thought of something and his heart moved slightly.

He was about to order the soldiers behind him to release arrows, but somehow he slowly let them go.

The man picked up the horse's reins, clamped his feet on the horse's belly, rushed to Xue Wanche and stopped in front of him.

Then the two heads wrapped in a robe were revealed behind them.

Looking coldly at the soldiers behind Xue Wanche, he shouted: "Your master has been beheaded, and King Qin has entered the palace. Whoever wants to rebel, stand up!"

The person who came was Yuchi Jingde, who was like a god of war, and what he had in his hands was the heads of the prince and the king of Qi.

Yuchi Jingde didn't say anything, a horn sounded, but the earth-shattering sound of horse hooves sounded from the other end of the long street.

However, after receiving the order, thousands of forbidden troops marched towards the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

In just the blink of an eye, a large group of forbidden troops arrived in front of Prince Qin's palace, and the soldiers behind Yuchi Jingde began to shout.

As the imperial troops arrived, the roars of thousands of people became louder and louder.

The prince's soldiers and the men of Prince Qi's palace lost their fighting spirit when they saw the troops of the imperial army coming to kill them.

Without waiting for Xue Wanche to issue an order, he quickly dispersed in all directions.

Xue Wanche looked at the prince's head in Yuchi Jingde's hand, shouted to the sky in grief and anger, and fled outside the imperial city with hundreds of his men...

There was a rumble and thunder sounded in the sky.

Dark clouds billowed in the sky, and the imperial city, which had been dry for dozens of days, finally received a heavy rain.

Just a few breaths after the thunder, the heavy rain poured down, instantly covering the whole world in violent wind and rain.

The heavy rain in front of Xuanwu Gate surged in all directions like a stream in the blink of an eye.

In a fight between brothers for imperial power, all it takes is a sudden rainstorm to wash away the blood in the city.

…

The old man and the young man returned to No. 47 and sat quietly in the living room, looking at the heavy rain in the sky.

Li Xiuyuan was silent for a while.

He wasn't even in the mood to sigh at Fuqin. He didn't even know what to do, and his heart was in a mess.

Looking at Hong Yuanhai in front of him, he smiled bitterly and said: "God has been so good to me, why don't you let me sleep for a few more years, so that I can stay out of sight."

The old man looked at him with compassion on his face and quietly lit the stove on the table.

Even in the hot summer, he still wanted to drink a pot of hot tea to drive away the chill in his heart.

Until the water boils and the tea smells fragrant, the two of them hold a cup of hot tea, and the heavy rain in the sky still has no intention of stopping, as if the murderous spirit in the world is not eliminated, and there will be no peace in God.

After thinking about it, the old man couldn't help but ask: "When you went to Da Qin and Da Zhou, didn't you encounter any competition for the throne?"

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I can't interfere with the affairs of Da Qin. Although I intervened in the struggle for the throne of Da Zhou, I have not violated the rules set by heaven..."

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan wanted to walk into the desert.

For no other reason than to calculate that it would only take a few decades for him to reach nirvana. Emperor Ming of that year should still be practicing quietly in the grotto.

Looking back, all the old friends from back then have left, and only Monk Huiming is left in this world.

Thinking about the unresolved matters from back then, Li Xiuyuan temporarily put his mind back from the Tang Dynasty.

He looked at the old man and asked: "Where did Xiao Hei, Qing Qing, and Yan'er go in the end?"

Li Xiuyuan listened to the old Taoist master's nagging and knew that it was impossible for the three of them to follow the master, except Shuzi and Xiaohu.

The old Taoist priest is afraid that he will no longer care about any fate around him.

The old man smiled faintly and replied: "I'm afraid you won't believe it even if I beat you to death. Just after you burned the fire of Nirvana and transformed into relics, I refined them for those two little guys..."

"When Qingqing woke up, she awakened the memories of her previous life and asked you where you were... What's even more amazing is that she turned out to be the sister of the woman you saved on the Wangchuan Bridge in Huangquan Village..."

Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "Master told me before that Qingqing is Qingluan's sister, so what if that guy is the Immortal Emperor?"

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing.

He looked at the old man and asked: "That guy still owed me a favor back then. Did he give it to Xiaohei, Shuzi, and Xiaohu?"

The old man shook his head: "Xiao Hei didn't want it. When Shuzi saw Xiao Hei didn't want it, naturally she followed Xiao Hu and didn't dare to accept the favor. Maybe in their eyes, this favor should belong to you."

Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this: "It's not bad. If they dare to ask for it, Master probably won't want to pay attention to these two greedy guys."

"Although Shuzi didn't ask for it, the favor ended up with the old Taoist master and others."

The old man sighed and said with a smile: "In this way, the five masters and disciples may really have a chance to transcend this world. Think about it, this doesn't mean you have broken the rules." Li Xiuyuan was startled when he heard this.

He was startled, then dumbfounded and speechless.

In his opinion, giving the elixir to Qingyu, Gao Yue'er, Ashina and others was already against the will of heaven.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing turned out to be the daughter of the Immortal Emperor who was lost in the heavens. As an Immortal Emperor, how could he care about the rules of this world?

He murmured to himself: "As soon as this guy waves his hand, I'm afraid the old Taoist priest and others will break through again, right?"

What does it mean to have a broken mind? You should ascend immediately.

Just thinking about it, I am afraid that the Immortal Emperor also has to abide by some rules of the heavens and the earth, and it is impossible to take away the old Taoist priest and others immediately.

The old man smiled and said: "The master and disciples slept for two days and two nights before they woke up. The old Taoist priest broke through one level, Gao Yue'er, Qingyu and the queen of Dazhou all broke through a big level."

Li Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this: "Xiao Hei should be satisfied now. Unexpectedly, Qingyu only had a brief chance with him in the palace, but in the end he broke through to the state of distraction in Dazhou."

The old man added tea to his cup and sighed.

He said quietly: "After Xiao Hei followed the two younger sisters and left with the Immortal Emperor, the master came to No. 47 and had a drink with us."

"No wonder I made a lot less wine back then. It turned out that my master took me away."

Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said: "That's fine. Shuzi and Xiaohu will follow the master and finally get everything they want. But this is something I can't do anything about."

"The spring after they left, the old Taoist priest took Qingyu and Gao Yue'er and left Dazhou... Not many years later, Emperor Wu passed away, and the empress must have taken the Li family to the East China Sea..."

The old man chatted with Li Xiuyuan about some complicated things that happened that year, and saw that the heavy rain in the sky gradually stopped.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, but it was already sunset.
