Could it be that Huo Qingkong is really dead?

Is the emperor's life really irreversible? No matter how you save it, you have to return to your original fate?

He clearly gained a huge amount of merit, which made the Emperor's Sword soar. Since the merit has increased, it should have changed the fate of the emperor. Why did he die again?

Yuan Ziyan flashed and appeared in the Nanwang Mansion in Tianjing, floating up into the sky and scanning the Nanwang Mansion, and saw two middle-aged men wandering in front of the hall of the Nanwang Mansion.

It was already late at night, under the bright moonlight, the two middle-aged men frowned and walked around, their anxious expressions beyond words.

"Who are you?" Yuan Ziyan fell lightly in front of the two of them.

The two were shocked, and then they saw Yuan Ziyan's beautiful and vulgar face clearly, and hurriedly clasped their fists: "Miss Yuan!"

Yuan Ziyan glanced at the two of them, just the master.

"Miss Yuan, we are subordinates of the Prince Hua's Mansion. We are here to wait for the Nanwang!"

"Look for my master? King Hua?"

"yes."

"Why not just send a message?"

"Your Highness has sent a message, Your Highness has not returned."

"...Oh, maybe the master is busy." Yuan Ziyan thought that it was possible that she would have a fierce battle with Shen Linfeng at that time.

"I hope Miss Yuan will help me and ask His Highness the King of Nan to come."

"What's wrong with His Highness Hua?"

"This..." The two hesitated and showed a embarrassed look: "Miss Yuan, I don't know."

"I want to meet His Highness Hua." Yuan Ziyan said.

"Your Highness is in the palace, and it is inconvenient to meet."

"Then I'll go into the palace to meet His Highness Hua."

"Now the palace is strictly prohibited, the gate is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or exit."

"How can the master get in when he comes?"

"His Highness Hua has already told the city gate officials that once His Highness Nanwang arrives, he will be released directly."

"Hmph, I can't get in, right?"

"Forgive me, Miss Yuan."

"...Forget it, I'll go and invite the master." Yuan Ziyan had already figured it out and her figure flashed and disappeared.

The next moment appeared in the sky and looked down at the palace from afar.

The palace was covered by torches, and at first glance it looked like a ring of fire.

The palace was brightly lit, but nothing could be seen. The palace enveloped everything and could not penetrate the eyes.

She slid her red lips and felt a faint sense of tension, so she flashed and disappeared into the void, and had returned to Li Chengkong the next moment.

"How?" Li Chengkong sat upright in the pavilion and put down his wine glass.

"His Royal Highness Hua has sent you a message."

Li Chengkong frowned and took out a jade pendant from his arms. It turned black. It was obviously an urgent matter to call him.

Unfortunately, he had been fighting fiercely, and he didn't notice the subtle changes in the messenger talisman when his heart was palpitations.

"Master, something must have happened if the forbidden palace martial law is in place!"

"Well, I'll go there."

"Or else, let's go together," Dugu Shuming whispered: "It's better to discuss everything."

Li Chengkong shook his head: "We have to guard this place, Qinglan, just stay here, let Zi Yan go with me."

"...it's good." Dugu Shuming nodded.

Zhennan City really needs to be guarded by itself.

Li Chengkong flew across the night sky, and under the moonlight, he flew lightly across the sky like a shadow, leaving silently.

Yuan Ziyan was not in a hurry to leave, she just needed a large void to move to the Nanwang Mansion in Tianjing.

Li Chengkong appeared outside the palace.

The torches shone brightly on the golden armor, and the soldiers with cold faces were arranged along the palace walls, and were so vigilant that they could not even fly in.

As soon as Li Chengkong appeared, several soldiers drew their swords and unsheathed their hair, and the cold light became stronger and pointed at Li Chengkong at the same time.

Li Chengkong said calmly: "I am the King of Southern Li Chengkong."

"Your Highness, please welcome!" A middle-aged man in a blue robe waved his hand, asked the soldiers to put down their swords, clasped their fists and said, "I'm in Zhong Yuan."

This middle-aged man is burly, with a lion's nose, a tiger's eyes, and a dignified aura.

Li Chengkong clasped his fists.

He had seen this Zhong Yuan, who was Qianlong Feigu.

"Please!" Zhong Yuan turned around.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!" Several muffled sounds sounded at the palace gate, and several mechanisms were opened.

"Boom!" There was a louder muffled sound, and the ground trembled.

"Squeak!" The door shaft rotated, and a sharp sound rang throughout the night sky.

The copper nails as big as bowls on the palace gate were lined up, shining in the moonlight, emitting a stern aura.

A gap slowly emerged from the palace gate.

Li Chengkong knew that these copper nails were secretly laid out, and they could kill people at any time.

Zhong Yuan reached out to ask for help, leading the way, and the two of them squeezed in through the gap.

"Squeak!" Sharp sound.

"Boom!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The palace gate was closed again.

Li Chengkong turned his head and took a look.

Zhong Yuan said: "Your Highness, please!"

Li Chengkong nodded without saying a word, and went straight outside Duanhe Hall, frowned, and his eyes were in a mess.

Starting a hundred meters outside the hall, the ground began to be bumpy. Although it was restored to tidy, the blood stains were not removed.

The blood floated faintly in the air and could not dissipate.

The doors and windows of Duanhe Hall were broken, the walls were scratched everywhere, the index finger was dark, and the three-layer steps outside the hall were cracked like spider webs.

"Your Highness, the Southern King has arrived!" Zhong Yuan stood outside the hall and said in a deep voice.

"King Nan, come in!" Huo Tiange's hoarse voice came from inside.

Li Chengkong lifted the curtain into the air.

Huo Qingkong lay horizontally on a short couch, with a pale face and a brocade quilt on his body, as if he had fallen asleep.

Li Chengkong knew that Huo Qingkong was already a corpse.

Huo Tiange knelt in front of Huo Qingkong and was looking at Li Chengkong eagerly.

Li Chengkong came to Huo Qingkong and reached out to see it. It was soft and tough, but there was no temperature and it was biting cold.

"King Nan..., Father, he..." Huo Tiange's eyes were red and swollen, his face was pale, with confusion and helplessness: "He was assassinated."

"Shen Lin Peak?"

"I am a master of Shenlin Peak!" Huo Tiange nodded softly: "I didn't expect that my father really..."

Li Chengkong said: "Where is Gaoshou and Gao Da?"

"Eunuch Gao blocked a fatal blow for his father and was crushed to pieces, but unfortunately..." Huo Tiange gritted his teeth: "I still couldn't save his father!"

Li Chengkong said calmly: "The prince must have a will, right?"

"Yes." Huo Tiange nodded softly: "The father has told me where the will is, and you can take it out and ascend to the throne."

"Then let's ascend the throne." Li Chengkong said.

"But I..." Huo Tiange was confused and guilty.

He had thought about the situation of ascension to the throne countless times, but never one of them was like this. He never expected that Huo Qingkong would be assassinated.

Li Chengkong said: "The dead are gone. Your Highness will still be revenged by the former emperor. It is useless to be sad. Besides, the emperor has not long lived long!"

"But I really don't know what to do." Huo Tiange sighed: "I have no clue and don't know how to deal with the government."

Li Chengkong said: "Everything is done according to the original charter. First, focus on stability. When you get familiar with it later, it will not be too late to use your revenge and ideas. If your Highness is in trouble, the southern border will be unavoidable!"
