King Nanyang’s qinggong was extraordinary. No imperial guards or inner court experts could catch up to him, but just as he was about to escape from the Meridian Gate, he was blocked by Wei Ting.
Wei Ting held his sword and looked at him arrogantly. He said arrogantly, “You’re more impatient than I thought. I thought you could last a few more days in the palace. Looks like I overestimated you in the past.”
This was a mental attack.
King Nanyang mocked back, “You’re also stupider than I thought. You know that Emperor Jing Xuan won’t let the three children off, but you still want to go against me. It’s clearly best for the Wei family if I take over.”
Wei Ting sneered. “Your words can only fool Helian Ye. They are not enough to lie to me.”
After King Nanyang ascended the throne, in order to maintain his persona, he would indeed not kill his biological grandsons. However, he would not let go of any of the Wei family members who knew about the previous emperor’s edict.
King Nanyang said calmly, “You joined forces with Emperor Jing Xuan to deal with me. This is asking a tiger for its skin.”
Wei Ting said, “This is called a fisherman benefiting from a fight.”
King Nanyang said coldly, “You’re still as sharp-tongued as before. That coward likes you like this. I don’t.”
Wei Ting held the longsword in his hand tightly. “I don’t care if you like it. Are you going to be killed yourself, or should I kill you?”
King Nanyang said meaningfully, “Your appearance suddenly reminds me of
Wei Xu. He was also so arrogant. In the end, didn’t he die at my hands?” “You have no right to mention my father!”
Wei Ting stopped talking nonsense with him and swung his sword at him.
King Nanyang dodged to the side and caught his sword with his fingertips. “I saw your skills in the battle with Northern Yan four years ago. You’ve improved a lot. Unfortunately, it’s still not enough to kill me!”
Wei Ting took out his sword and attacked again. “You’re a little talkative today.” King Nanyang admitted generously, “It’s just stalling for time.”
As he spoke, a few experts holding sabers flew over and stood in front of King Nanyang.
King Nanyang left them to pester Wei Ting and killed his way out of the palace.
These people’s martial arts were extremely high, and every one of them was not inferior to the sacrificial soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty that they had fought last time. It was already difficult for Wei Ting and Wei Liulang to deal with one, let alone Wei Ting dealing with six alone.
Fortunately, he had received a lot of guidance from Qin Canglan during this period of time and his martial arts had advanced by leaps and bounds.
“Little Seven, let me help you!”
Wei Liulang flashed over with the Qingfeng Sword.
The two of them turned their backs to each other and looked warily at the six sacrificial soldiers who had surrounded them.
Wei Ting whispered, “These people are not ordinary sacrificial soldiers.”
Wei Liulang also sensed it. “That’s right. Their aura is so strange. That guy really has a lot of tricks. Where did he get these experts from?”
Wei Ting said, “If he didn’t have tricks up his sleeves, he wouldn’t have dared to rebel.”
Even if King Nanyang’s plan to overthrow the current emperor was ruined, Wei Ting did not know if King Nanyang would secretly vomit blood after leaving the palace.
Wei Ting reminded him, “Sixth Brother, be careful.” Wei Liulang nodded. “I will.”
“Stand down! Who allowed you to come over?”
Not far away, Princess Hui An berated.
Wei Ting frowned. “Oh no, school’s over at the Palace Academy. They’re taking hostages!”
A sacrificial soldier’s knife slashed at Wei Ting’s neck. Wei Ting leaned back and twisted his arm. He split the other party’s tendons and bones and snatched his dagger, throwing it ruthlessly at a certain man in black who was holding a hostage!
With a scream, that person fell in front of Princess Hui An.
Princess Hui An was shocked and said with a trembling body, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid… Don’t be afraid… “Pull the bow!”
Princess Jingning said sternly.
The daughters seemed to have woken up from a dream. That was right. They had just finished their riding and archery class and had bows!
Everyone drew their bows and aimed at the men in black charging at them.
Princess Jingning also drew her bow. Her aura was majestic. “Fire!” With her order, the young ladies let go of the bowstrings and arrows flew out with a piercing sound.
Swish!
Swish!
Two men in black were shot.
Princess Hui An cheered. “We hit it! We hit it!” The first arrow came from Leng Zhiruo.
The second arrow came from Miss Zheng.
Wei Ting was usually too strict. They complained a lot in private, but when it came to life and death, they realized that their hardwork in the past had not been in vain.
Soon, under Princess Jingning’s lead, they shot the third round of arrows.
Although it was not a hundred percent accurate, it bought precious time for Xiao Zhonghua and Xiao Shunyang to arrive.
After Wei Ting and Wei Liulang finished dealing with the six sacrificial soldiers, they immediately chased after King Nanyang.
The cunning thing about King Nanyang was that he was good at confusing people.
Su MO stopped his horse in front of the two of them. Qin Canglan had also arrived.
Su MO said, “Just now, King Nanyang got into a carriage. After that, seven of him came out of the carriage and went in different directions.”
Wei Liulang was dumbfounded. “No way, so cunning? Who gave him this idea?” Only one of the seven Nanyang Kings was real.
Wei Ting narrowed his eyes and said, “They will definitely leave the city. We’ll split up and chase from the four city gates.”
Qin Canglan felt that it was feasible. “Bring a team of cavalry each. There’s no need to fight him alone.”
Qin Canglan had fought with King Nanyang before and knew how powerful this person was. The juniors were still young and their martial arts attainment was limited. They were easily at a disadvantage if they fought that guy alone.
The four of them led a team of Qin family cavalry towards the four city gates.
However, King Nanyang’s dirty tricks were definitely not limited to this.
The Wei family was also attacked.
Fortunately, Baili Chen, Fu Su, and Yuchi Xiu were all in the Wei family. His sisters-in-law were all extraordinary and did not let the other party succeed.
Fourth Sister-in-law, Madam Lan, retracted her whip and asked, “By the way, where did Second Sister-in-law go?”
Madam Jiang said, “Second Sister-in-law has returned to her maiden home.
Have you forgotten? She said that she would be back today.”
Madam Li’s mother was already old. As she was going to pass away, Madam Li had recently brought Wei Xiyue back to see her..
