The clash of swords and spears made a harsh clashing sound.

Although the young man named Xiao Xihong has good marksmanship, he seems to have not been fully adapted to fighting with a gun in a narrow environment for a while. Due to the distance between the two walls, the spear cannot make sweeping movements from left to right. Identify the identities of both parties.

After that, Yu Shiqi, who became more serious, had already suppressed Xiao Xihong. Realizing that the opponent had gradually mastered his own spear stabbing routine, the spear in Xiao Xihong's hand was no longer as agile as before.

The spear made another mistake during the confrontation. Out of past habits, Xiao Xihong unconsciously used the sideways maneuver again, and the spear hit the side wall again like last time.

Yu Shiqi seized the opportunity and dodged forward, rushing within the length of the barrel of the spear in one breath. In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of the opponent were immediately reversed, and the opponent's spear point was left behind him.

Xiao Xihong had no choice but to retreat to make up for his mistake, but Yu Shiqi would not give him the chance to regain the distance with the gun. Xiao Xihong took a step back and Yu Shiqi took a step forward until there was no way to retreat. The young man's back was almost touching the iron fence.

superior.

Yu Shiqi used his long sword to slash along the barrel of the gun, forcing the opponent to give up the gun in his hand, and then used a close move to capture the dragon's arm and grab it at the shoulder and neck, forcing Xiao Xihong to give up drawing the sword from his waist and use his fists and palms to fight.

Just when Yu Shiqi thought he was in sight of victory, Xiao Xihong once again showed the brute force that had previously made him unbelievable. Yu Shiqi's dragon-capturing arm was easily resolved by him with a sharp palm knife, and then came the

A counter punch dislocated two joints of Yu Shiqi's left arm.

The female officer Chen Tingqiu on the side was so frightened that she knelt down and hugged her body. Yu Shiqi suddenly felt extremely nervous - the crisis of dislocating his left arm could be averted with the help of Yunxing Root Bone Technique. What he was worried about was whether the other party would take the opportunity to hold the hand hostage.

A female official who has no power to restrain a chicken is used as a hostage.

"Come behind me!" Yu Shiqi shouted to Chen Tingqiu.

At the same time, Xiao Xihong pulled out the sword from his waist, but he just stood there, watching helplessly as the hostage within his reach ran behind Yu Shiqi.

"Xiao Xihong, let's go." The emperor's voice sounded again, "Even if you take me out of here, what will happen?"

"On the night of Shangyuan, Mu Qingxuan is going to have a banquet with all the ministers in Chaotian Palace. As long as His Majesty appears in front of them..."

"Can I regain control of the empire?" The emperor chuckled, "If it were that easy, someone would have rescued me long ago."

Xiao Xihong heard the emperor's frustration and was confused for a moment, not knowing what to do.

"Chen Tingqiu, I want to ask you something. Just pretend that what happened today never happened. Can you let him go?" The emperor's eyes turned to the female official behind Yu Shiqi.

Chen Tingqiu was silent for a moment, lowered his head and replied: "As your Majesty wishes."

Yu Shiqi was confused by their conversation, but he also didn't want to fight anymore. Looking at the young man standing in front of the iron gate with his eyes full of stubbornness and unwillingness, Yu Shiqi always felt that he didn't look like that.

Bad guy.

"Xiao Xihong, please go." Chen Tingqiu turned his back, "I'll pretend I've never seen you."

Xiao Xihong suddenly turned around and knelt down to the emperor, and kowtowed solemnly: "Your Majesty, if I had known today... I would have died on the grassland of Beining for sixteen years! If I had known today..."

"Beining is coming to an end soon." The emperor sighed faintly, "However, the mission I gave it has been completed. Don't feel sorry. I don't regret using the Northern Expedition to bring stability to Chenlin. As for

Let’s leave it to future generations to tell how much we have accomplished and failed.”

Xiao Xihong's tears couldn't stop flowing down. He kowtowed to the emperor again, then grabbed his gun and stood up, glanced at Yu Shiqi and Chen Tingqiu, and strode away.

Yu Shiqi watched him leave silently, and then planned to go out through the stone door.

"Please stay." Chen Tingqiu chased after him.

Yu Shiqi showed a questioning look.

"Your Excellency is from Yunzhongjian, why are you here tonight?" Chen Tingqiu asked.

Yu Shiqi looked at her with complicated eyes, and without preparing to answer, he turned around and walked out.

"I'm offended." Chen Tingqiu's low warning came from behind, and then Yu Shiqi felt her left hand being grabbed hard by her.

In desperation, he had to stop again and looked back at the female officer strangely.

Seeing his calm expression, Chen Tingqiu suddenly panicked and said incoherently: "Why...you...don't you...feel pain?"

Yu Shiqi easily broke away from her hand, moved his left arm and said, "Do you think joint dislocation is a serious injury for someone like me?"

Chen Tingqiu's face turned pale. She hid her hands behind her back, with a look of horror in her eyes.

"I have no ill intentions." Yu Shiqi explained, "Since you can not pursue the person who kidnapped you here, there is no reason to pursue me, right?"

"Then...do you know who I am?"

"It has nothing to do with me." Yu Shiqi replied calmly and continued to walk out.

"Xiao Xihong left first. If he alerts the guards and breaks out, you will be in trouble if you go out now." Chen Tingqiu trotted behind and said, "I can send you out. However, I have conditions..."

Yu Shiqi turned around and asked, "On condition that I tell you what I am doing here?"

"Well, I guess you have nothing to do with... the remnant soldiers, right?"

The remnant soldiers... Yu Shiqi remembered that Xiao Xihong mentioned that he was a member of it just now. Is this also an organization? Xiao Xihong took Chen Tingqiu hostage and broke into this place, seemingly to rescue the emperor, so those remnant soldiers should have been loyal to the emperor.

Northern Expedition Army.

"The third force..." Yu Shiqi muttered to himself, feeling that the annoyance in his mind increased again.

"What did you say?"

"Sorry, I have something urgent to do, so I'm inconvenienced by the delay. If you are familiar with this place and can take people in and out, please give me a ride."

Chen Tingqiu hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

On the way out of the underground palace of the Imperial Tomb, Yu Shiqi had been paying attention to observe whether there was any coded message left by Teng Antong for him. However, he did not find anything special until Chen Tingqiu safely sent him outside.

I think Teng Antong went to track Zhong Lingqi and Nie Guijiang first, so that's fine. Yu Shiqi thought to himself to comfort himself.

He thanked Chen Tingqiu who was standing beside him: "Thank you very much for sending me. I would like to ask, how should I find you in the future?"

"After?" Chen Tingqiu was surprised. She thought he would just walk away.

"Yun Zhongjian is investigating a conspiracy that is about to happen on Yuan Ye in the imperial capital. I have something I want to ask you, but I'm running out of time right now, so I hope we have a chance to see you again later." Yu Shiqi said sincerely.

Chen Tingqiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your name is Yu Yanzhi, right? If you want to see me later, come to Youxiang Mansion to find me."

"Are you an official of Youxiang Mansion?"

Chen Tingqiu was slightly startled, then smiled and replied: "Yes."
