Chapter 515: 16. With a flip of the hand, the wind rises, and the snow falls.

In the early autumn, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Xiu, the monarch of Qi State, suddenly contracted a cold. The cold was nothing serious, but it mainly triggered a hidden disease in his body.

He began to cough violently, and the morning court session became once every half a month.

Qi Xiu felt that he might not be able to make it. He was waiting.

Waiting for a result.

The result of the confrontation between the Crown Prince and the Fenglai Kingdom.

Mid-autumn, late autumn, and then early winter.

Qi Xiu was getting worse and worse.

In the entire Imperial City, even the vagrants on the streets could feel a strange atmosphere.

It was a turbulent atmosphere.

The Second Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Eldest Princess seemed to have come to an agreement. They seemed to have roughly received the news from the front line and seen the current situation of the emperor. They were preparing to brew a plan that no one knew about. They would complete it in one go and reverse the situation.

Winter.

Heavy snow.

The 100,000 strong army suffered a crushing defeat, and only a few thousand people returned.

The reason for their defeat was simple. The Fenglai Kingdom had sent an expert from the Myriad Sword Sect.

The Myriad Sword Sect no longer seemed to care about the agreement that stated that the sect could not enter the mortal world to fight. As for offending the five sects of the Green Peak, they were even less afraid. In any case, they had already killed a Baili Peak Master.

When the Crown Prince left, he was insufferably arrogant and full of pride.

When he returned, he was covered in blood and pain was hidden in his eyes. His hands gripped the horse’s mane tightly, and his eyes were wide open at all times. He muttered, ” How could this be, how could this be… He didn’t understand why the Wan Jian House would attack.

What did the Wan Jian House want to do? Da da da da…

The sound of horse hooves came from the east.

Crown Prince Qi Heng rode his horse into the east gate, but what he received was a cold gaze.

It was not his fault that a sect had intervened.

This was not a power level that he could handle at all…

But no one would understand.

A defeat was a defeat.

He silently endured these cold gazes and went to the palace in the center of the capital.

However, the atmosphere in the Imperial Palace today was a little strange.

The guards in front of the door seemed to reasonably stop the general whose armor was stained with blood and only let the Crown Prince enter the palace to report on his work.

The Crown Prince let the generals go back.

He entered the first door of the palace alone.

Then, he went to the second door.

The Royal Palace of Qi State was impregnable. There were four doors, and behind them was the open space of the square, which led directly to the main hall of the court.

Qi Heng was immersed in dispiritedness and frustration. He bit his lip and lowered his head like a sinner.

His hands and feet were bound by invisible shackles and fell heavily.

His back was slightly hunched as if he had failed.

He urged his horse,

The wind and snow were very heavy.

The horse swung its hooves and passed through the first gate.

At the second door, Qi Heng raised his head in surprise. In his eyes was a young man waiting for him with his hands down.

“Seventeenth brother, why are you here?” Qi Heng asked in surprise.

The young man waiting for him was Xia Ji.

‘ I just happened to come back, ” Xia Ji said. ” I saw you riding in from afar. I was waiting for you to enter the palace. ”

Qi Heng sighed heavily and looked at him with a complicated expression. He suddenly said, “”You and I have never contacted each other before. Why have you come here to welcome me today? Go by yourself, don’t worry about me. ‘

Xia Ji laughed out loud.

He stepped forward and pulled the reins, then walked forward.

The horse Qi Heng was riding was a famous horse called Lion Head. It was famous for having a fierce temper and would not let strangers touch it. However, for some reason, it had become an obedient little rabbit and was pulled away by Xia Ji.

Qi Heng’s eyes were filled with tears. What else did he want to say?

“Who do you think I am?” Xia Ji asked calmly.

Qi Heng shut up.

It was human nature to pursue benefits and escape from harm, but it obviously did not include the Seventeenth Prince.

He looked at his younger brother and made a decision in his heart. After this defeat, it was very likely that he would lose his position as the Crown Prince, but if he wanted to protect a younger brother who had not participated in the Inheritance War, a younger brother who had no energy and only knew how to study, then he could still do it. However, there was a price to pay.

But so what?

If you throw me peaches, I’ll give you plums in return.

“Good!” the Crown Prince said. Let’s enter the palace together.”

The wind and snow dazzled the eyes as they flew into the Imperial Court.

The gentle and modest youth led the defeated Crown Prince’s horse and passed through the second door.

Just as they were about to reach the third door, the iron door suddenly let out a loud bang. It brought with it a violent gust of wind as it suddenly fell to the ground, blocking the way forward.

The Crown Prince was stunned, but his expression changed immediately. He reacted quickly and was about to turn around and leave the second door when he heard the heavy pounding of the city gate behind him. The sound reverberated in the air, extremely ear-piercing.

The second door closed.

There was a large courtyard and a passageway.

But now, it had become a land of peril.

It had become a place where there was no way to advance or retreat. It could only wait for death.

Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the top of the wall. Soon, a few figures in luxurious robes and many soldiers in black light armor ran up and surrounded the wall from all sides.

The Crown Prince looked up and saw that behind the cold light of the heavy bolts, he saw the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Eldest Princess, and many other younger brothers and sisters.

He understood.

This was a fatal blow.

It was his own ending.

However, this was not the end of the Inheritance War. After that, the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince would still fight to see who would win, but without his threat, the two of them would have a real chance.

He was experienced in handling matters and could not guarantee that the monarch would still pass the throne to him.

Everyone was about to shoot when the Eldest Princess raised her hand to signal for them to wait.

She glanced at the city and frowned, saying sternly, “”Seventeen, why are you down there?

You … Run to the corner and hide!”

As she said this, the Eldest Princess glanced at Qi Heng again. ” Crown Prince, after so many years of mutual deception, it’s time to end it today. We’ve done a lot of things. Your death was not unjust, so don’t drag Seventeen down with you.

Seventeen is the purest of us. No matter who gets the position in the end, Seventeen can accompany him to govern Qi.

Seventeen, he doesn’t deserve to die.”

The Crown Prince looked around and laughed miserably.

Clang!

He unsheathed the sword in his hand and slashed at his neck.

Xia Ji flicked his finger, and a force that was just right sent the sword flying.

This move shocked the Crown Prince and the people in the city.

“Old Seventeen, you study every day. Do you know kung fu?” the Second Prince asked. You’re hiding it well.”

“But what’s the use?” Prince Six asked. Seventeen, do you want to die here? Was there any meaning? What are you studying for?” “Stop it,” Xia Ji said lightly.

“How can we stop the war?” Prince Six mocked.

“In terms of ability, isn’t Eldest Brother the strongest?” Xia Ji asked. In terms of benevolence, Eldest Brother is also willing to do so. Moreover, Eldest Brother is the Crown Prince now, so let Eldest Brother take the throne.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding people could not help but laugh.

“Seventeen, do you know what you’re saying?” the Eldest Princess raised her voice. If you let him live, you’re letting us die. You don’t understand how cruel the Inheritance War is, you don’t understand anything.”

The Crown Prince took a deep look at Xia Ji. He didn’t expect his younger brother to be so loyal. “”Seventeen, go to the corner. The Eldest Princess is right. You don’t understand.”

“I understand,” Xia Ji replied.

After saying these three words, he raised his hands.

The snowstorm in this world suddenly stopped.

He moved his hand again.

The snowstorm started to move again. The white snow gathered and turned into thousands of pure white pythons. They slithered in the air and whistled. As they barged in, white lightning surged. The crossbows of all the soldiers on the city wall were smashed away.

The crossbow fell into the air like meat falling into a pack of wolves. In the blink of an eye, it attracted the attention of many strong winds who were scrambling to attack.

The crossbow bounced twice in the air and was directly torn apart!

Without long-range weapons, even if they couldn’t launch long-range attacks, they wouldn’t be able to kill the Crown Prince from the top of the city wall.

Everyone was dumbfounded…

The Second Prince quietly took out his longbow, but before he could draw the bowstring, it was blown away by the wind and exploded.

The gentle youth raised his head and slowly walked to the center of the courtyard. As long as he raised his hands, there would be no more weapons in this world.

The fourteen-year-old Seventeenth Prince raised his voice and said, “‘With me around, no one can die.”

Everyone looked at him in disbelief.

I’m fated with the Grand Commander. He has been teaching me cultivation since many years ago. Today is the first time I’m using it..
