“Your Highness!”
Fan Zhou and Yun Huai were greatly surprised, but Jiang Yun’s figure had already flashed, and like a green bird, he swept into the flames.
Sui Heng suddenly paled, and the moment he saw the green hem disappear, his eyes shrank fiercely, and his heart almost burst open. However, the fire was too intense and did not possess the astonishing lightness skills of Jiang Yun. Rushing recklessly was almost equivalent to dying.
Although it was also the first time Sui Heng had seen that Jiang Yun had such a skill.
Xu Qiao asked with concern, “Your Highness, what should we do now?”
Sui Heng pinched the handle of the sword, took a deep breath, and his palms were sweating, saying, “Let’s wait.”
At such times, he must remain calm and not lose his composure.
Everywhere is a blazing fire.
Jiang Yun rushed up all the way and encountered several Qingque assassins. He made a few moves with his hands flapping, and those assassins were both shocked and alarmed when they saw the silver threads thrown from Jiang Yun’s sleeve.
However, they are not ordinary assassins, but the martyrs of the King of Qi. Even if trapped in the sea of fire and unable to escape, they will swear to protect the King of Qi to their death. The King of Qi relies on the Qingque Terrace to dominate the world. Qingque Terrace is not only a place for the King of Qi to enjoy himself but also a place where the King of Qi trains assassins under the disguise of pleasure. Kunjun, the spy of Qingque Terrace, provides confidential information to the King of Qi from various countries every day. By just sitting still in the tall building, the King of Qi can grasp the dynamics of the world. To a certain extent, this evil platform is also the foundation that supports the corrupt Qi Kingdom. At the beginning of the King of Qi’s accession to the throne, he even announced in front of the courtiers that ‘Qingque is here, the Qi Kingdom is here, Qingque is gone, and the Qi Kingdom is gone’, ‘Qingque is Guaren’s ears and eyes, slandering Qingque is slandering Guaren’.
Qingque Terrace has been built for over thirty years, which is longer than the length of an official career for many officials in the Qi Kingdom. Everyone knows that ‘Qingque’ refers to the presence of the King of Qi, who has a rebellious scale and cannot be placed on his beak or touched. The Qi Kingdom was ruled by the nobility, but even the beautiful teenagers from the Tian family, which had the deepest roots and was the most powerful in the Qi Kingdom, would voluntarily enter the Qingque Terrace every year for the King of Qi to enjoy. In the first two years of the King of Qi’s reign, two strong-willed imperial censors were subjected to the punishment of cannon fire for scolding the King of Qi for building Qingque and indulging in debauchery. As a result, the court of Qi remained silent, and no one dared mention the matter of the Qingque in front of the King of Qi again.
Several silver threads rushed towards Jiang Yun’s face, and Jiang Yun dodged and dodged, swimming like a fish between the silver threads to spin and weave, and then escaped from the silver threads like fallen leaves, jumping onto another high platform.
The assassins were once again taken aback and couldn’t help but ask, “Who the hell are you?”
However, Jiang Yun did not give them a chance to speak up again. He released the silver threads in his sleeve and hooked the necks of the four assassins, twisting and breaking their necks.
Blood splattered all over the ground, and the remaining two assassins looked at each other, and looking at Jiang Yun fiercely. Sending out four silver wires at once requires extremely high manipulation and keen observation ability. Even the most powerful group of assassins among them could only manipulate three at most at the same time, and only few could reach four.
Why does this young master, who looks unparalleled in elegance, use the unique skills of Qingque?
“It’s you.”
Suddenly, someone said in a hoarse voice.
A dark figure stood behind Jiang Yun at some point. He landed on a burning beam with his pointing foot, gazing down at the scene below like a lifeless ghost, for an unknown amount of time.
Jiang Yun stood quietly, his black eyes slightly drooping and his green robe fluttering in the flames.
When the two assassins saw that silhouette, they both revealed a look of extreme terror and actually slowly kneeled down.
A spider web made of ten silver threads silently rose up in the burning palace, like a venomous snake, spitting out venomous snake venom and quietly reaching towards Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun listened attentively, and as one of the silver threads was about to touch his back, he raised his hand and touched his waist, fluttering and jumping like a butterfly. A soft sword pierced through the air, like a stream of autumn water passing through the air, piercing through the spider web.
Qi Ziqi also rushed over with the old servant and Duan Qi.
They were coming after Jiang Yun, it’s just that their footwork was much slower than Jiang Yun’s.
Seeing the scene of Jiang Yun rushing into the sea of fire, Qi Ziqi also showed a shocked expression.
Time passed minute by minute, and the towering fire almost turned the entire sky bright red.
Sui Heng’s eyes also reflected the color of fire, his lips pursed tightly, and a rare strand of sweat dripped from his temples, his gaze fixed on the high platform.
Everyone, including the Jiang Empire’s generals such as Fan Zhou and Yun Huai, was anxiously staring at the palace that had already been engulfed in flames. Their inner anxiety was even greater than that of the raging fire.
In the attic, Jiang Yun cut through the black-clothed man, who was on the beam’s throat with a sword, dealt with the other two assassins, put away his soft sword, and quickly swept towards the top of the high platform.
The flames and broken beams fly past his ears like sparks falling.
However, at this moment, it was probably because he knew that there were tens of thousands of soldiers outside waiting for him and being his strongest support. Jiang Yun did not recall the past, nor did he feel suffocated from experiencing nightmares again.
He is so familiar with these palaces that he can almost find a way out with his eyes closed.
Jiang Yun finally arrived at the palace, where the fire first broke out, threw the silver threads, and killed the assassins outside the pavilion. He continued to use the silver threads to open the scorched door and walked in.
Due to the spread of the fire, the hidden mechanism outside the secret room was burned down, the room was opened, and the curtains inside were already on fire. The burly body of the King of Qi lay horizontally on the ground, and black blood flowed from his seven orifices.
Jiang Yun saw a black robe in the thick smoke.
This is the first time he has seen him up close, seeing the clothes on his body and the orchid patterns embroidered with silver thread on his clothes.
Jiang Yun’s chest trembled, and he ran in, only to see Marquis Duan sitting on the steps with his knees bent and his eyes closed. Jiang Yun trembled and extended his finger to his nose, then lifted the person and rushed down the platform before the entire palace collapsed.
Outside the high platform, Sui Heng could no longer bear it and flipped over to dismount. At this moment, Xu Qiao suddenly excitedly pointed ahead and said, “Your Highness, look! His Highness Rongyu has come out!”
Sui Heng suddenly looked up, and indeed, a green figure appeared. The sleeves of his robe fluttered, like a bird flying out of the flames. After Jiang Yun swept to the ground, he put down the unconscious Marquis Duan and immediately turned his eyes to look for Sui Heng.
He knew that he must be worried sick.
However, Sui Heng was not on the horse, Jiang Yun was stunned and was wondering when he was picked up by a pair of arms and held tightly into his arms.
The hands were so tight that they almost crushed him.
Jiang Yun lowered his head and saw the familiar handsome eyes.
The two embraced in front of the collapsed attic under the flames.
The towering platform filled with countless sins, which had appeared in his nightmares countless times, collapsed and shattered inch by inch in their intertwined breathing.
Sui Heng’s rapidly pounding heart landed with a thud. He tightly hugged Jiang Yun and gritted his teeth, saying, “You want to scare Gu to death, don’t you?”
Jiang Yun smiled lightly and hugged him back, saying, “Sorry.”
Fan Zhou and Yun Huai also jumped off their horses with great joy and rushed closer, but they both froze as they looked at the two people hugging each other.
Sui Heng glanced at the black figure on the ground and was surprised. “Were you trying to save him?”
Jiang Yun nodded.
Sui Heng was lost in thought and didn’t immediately ask for the reason. Instead, he looked at his despicable little lover with a worried expression, his face gloomy and furious, saying, “See how Gu gonna deal with you when we go back.”
Jiang Yun said, “I know my mistake.”
Upon hearing these words, Fan Zhou and Yun Huai felt even more like lightning strikes.
