Qi Yu held his breath and concentrated, and calmly picked up the mechanism on the arrow box, and the flying needles in the belly of the box shot out.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several whistles passed by my ears!
Reason told Qi Yu that since this kind of flying needle is too thin and short, it cannot directly kill people. Therefore, if he wants to cause harm to King Yan, he must shoot his vitals.
What's the point?
Qi Yu's eyes looked at King Yan's shoulders, or rather his shoulder joints.
Under normal circumstances, the damage caused by stabbing the shoulders with a needle is very limited, but King Yan's situation is different at this time. You know, he is struggling to lift the heavy giant cauldron.
As the shoulder joint is the point of force generation, it is at its most sensitive period.
It's like an inflated balloon suddenly getting pricked by a cactus.
Did it explode?
It didn't explode, it collapsed.
King Yan, who was gathering strength and ready to go, suddenly felt his shoulders go numb, and his arm strength suddenly dropped sharply. He could no longer support the pressure brought by the giant cauldron above his head, and then he fell down with a pop, as if he was being covered.
Yes, Qi Dalang succeeded!
This is not to say that his crosshairs are very accurate, but that the distance is so close that even if he shoots with his eyes closed, he cannot miss the target.
This is another sudden change that is so shocking that no one can react.
The giant cauldron is very heavy, and the impact of falling is huge enough to crush anyone's head. Will King Yan be killed?
As a result, Qi Yu was disappointed.
King Yan was a battle-hardened hero, and he remained calm in the face of danger. He buried his head as hard as he could, then quickly retracted his arms and placed them on his head to face the 'Tai Mountain's pressure' above him!
boom!
A muffled sound!
Although King Yan was covered by the falling giant cauldron, he was not injured.
Although the cauldron is huge, it is not very deep and cannot completely cover a person. It only covers the knee joints.
At this time, the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion outside the courtyard had heard the news and rushed over. They quickly formed a formation, blocked in front of the emperor, and raised their crossbows.
"Don't move!" the emperor shouted hastily.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion immediately stopped their movements and stood by in place.
As far as the actual situation at hand is concerned, if a wave of arrows is really shot through, King Yan will be protected by the giant cauldron and will never die. However, Qi Yu will be shot into a hedgehog.
Because of this, the emperor stopped it in time, with the intention of preserving Qi's reputation.
Wu Wanrong was quite disappointed with this, but he did not dare to say anything more at this juncture.
As for King Yan, although he was covered by the giant cauldron, he could see Qi Yu's feet through the small field of vision beneath him.
It was this guy who shot himself! Ruined his brilliant plan to die with the emperor!
Unforgivable!
In a rage, he used all his strength and bumped towards Qi Yu's position.
this……
Qi Yu was shocked and quickly retreated!
Is this possible if we don’t retreat? What if we don’t get smashed to pieces if we get hit?
However, something unexpected happened.
Qi Yu retreated and retreated unconsciously into the woodshed behind him.
The space in this room is very small, making it difficult to dodge. It is like a dead end.
broken!
He was actually blocked in the room by King Yan.
Qi Yu realized that something was wrong. He was already in a situation with no way out!
King Yan began to press forward step by step!
Suddenly, he knocked violently, and there was a huge collision. Even so, Qi Dalang was still knocked to the ground.
Severe pain!
Qi Yu gritted his teeth and sat up. He felt that his left arm was no longer in control. He thought it was broken due to a collision.
Endure the pain and stay calm!
You must find a way to fight back, otherwise you will definitely die!
His mind was racing, and he was quick to think. At this critical moment, Qi Yu finally came up with a countermeasure!
Whoosh whoosh!
The arrow box fired several more needles, hitting King Yan's exposed knee joint.
Plop!
King Yan was struck by needles in both knees. His legs immediately lost strength and he fell to his knees directly on the ground. The giant cauldron also fell heavily to the ground, completely suppressing him.
succeed!
Qi Yu endured the severe pain and quickly got up, then sneered and said to King Yan in the giant cauldron: "Traitor, your death has come!"
After that, he took the fire sickle from the stove and lit it, choosing to set fire directly.
The house was piled full of firewood, which was extremely flammable. When he lit a fire, it burned down in a matter of seconds.
The fire is tight, is it tight?
Of course! If you don’t run, it will become a barbecue!
Then Qi Yu rolled around and moved outside the house in a very embarrassed state.
After escaping the danger, he turned around and laughed loudly, and said to King Yan who was wailing in the fire: "The blazing holy fire will burn your body. How can life be joyful and death be miserable? My lord, I will make a big fuss today."
Mercy, I will save you in advance, and be a good person in your next life! Immeasurable Heavenly Lord! How good, how good!"
After laughing, Qi Dalang suddenly felt a line of tears flowing out unconsciously, and even his vision was blurred.
Dear relatives! Our family’s great revenge must be avenged!
"Haha~~~"
Qi Yu was crying and laughing, seemingly crazy. His actions shocked everyone in the yard.
The emperor also expressed emotion: Is everything over like this?
wrong!
The emperor reacted quickly, ran a few steps forward, and shouted to King Yan who was wailing in the fire: "Uncle Wang, tell me quickly! Who is the secret line you arranged? As long as you are willing to tell me, I will order your rescue!"
"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the dull voice of King Yan coming from the fire. Although he couldn't hear the details clearly, he could still make out the four words 'Empress Dowager'.
Faced with King Yan's plea, the emperor remained indifferent and fell into some kind of meditation.
The emperor lied to him and did not arrange for anyone to put out the fire.
The fire is burning more and more fiercely.
Slowly, King Yan's voice could no longer be heard.
In this way, in full view of the public, the powerful King Yan was cooked alive into a barbecue.
And the person who killed him was Qi Yu, who in the eyes of outsiders was unbeatable!
After a long time, the emperor regained his composure. After he breathed a long sigh of relief, he told San Dezi beside him: "Go and tell Zong Zheng of the Zongren Mansion later that King Yan be buried with honor!"
"Here!"
"You don't have to keep silent about the matter about the Empress Dowager. Even if it gets spread, I will not hold you accountable."
The result was that no one answered, or rather, no one dared to answer.
The secrets of the palace have always been forbidden for ministers to talk about. If you are not careful, you will get burned, and it is best to rot in the stomach.
However, judging from the emperor's words, he was planning to 'clear the emperor's side'.
The emperor seemed to be eager to leave, and after finishing speaking, he stepped out.
However, he still turned back to Qi Yu and said with concern: "Let the imperial doctor...oh no, let the imperial doctor take a look at your injuries and treat them. Well, I love you for your loyalty and bravery. I will make a note of it. I will definitely choose a day."
...Well, let’s talk about it then.”
Qi Yu was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I feel fine, but my muscles and bones are only injured."
The emperor nodded, then stepped into the royal chariot and drove away.
Huang Fei stayed, and his current mission is to escort Qi Yu home safely.
…
On the way back, Qi Yu remembered an incident from the past.
That is, when the three divisions jointly tried the Taiyuan Hospital case, the officials all took a cold approach. Now it seems that this case clearly has traces of artificial obfuscation.
If this case is really related to the death of the late emperor, it is considered a serious case. How can it be kept vague?
Could it be that it was the Empress Dowager’s secret decree?
If that were the case, it would make sense.
Then, Qi Yu thought of Meng Lanshan again.
When the late emperor was here, although he saw some clues in the palace, he still did not dare to report it to the emperor. Because he had no evidence in his hand, and 'false accusation' against the harem was a capital crime.
In view of this, he adopted the strategy of retreating to advance, and took advantage of the opportunity to invite Ding You to Yongchuan Mansion, staying away from the court to protect himself.
Indeed, if he had not escaped from Linyuan in time, he would have died unjustly in prison just like the doctors at the imperial hospital. However, in this way, he would have become what the emperor calls a corpse minister again.
Now, the general picture of the matter is relatively clear.
What happens next?
Thinking of this, Qi Yu couldn't help but glance in the direction of the palace and thought to himself: Is the emperor really willing to kill relatives out of justice?
