A vulture hovered high in the sky and looked at the ground, waiting for humans to leave to give it a full meal.

The ghost soldiers wearing black armor pulled out the spear from the corpse and stabbed into the next corpse without saying a word. They did not need any survivors, and the enemy was either prey or food for them...

Ling Xi woke up from the bed and lifted the bedding and looked around.

He was in a wooden house with fires lit around him, and the bloody bandages that had been removed from him were casually placed in a corner.

bump!

The wooden door was pushed open roughly, and a ghost soldier glanced at him, pulled him back and retreated. Soon, a man in a python robe and casual clothes broke into the room, pressed Ling Xi and let him lie down.

Ling Xi did not do as he did and asked the man: "Are you their general?"

The man did not respond, picked up Ling Xi's waist sign on the table, looked around, and said, "Is your name Ling Xi?"

“Where are they?”

"Is it?" The man's voice became cold, and his fingers held the waist card.

"Yes." Ling Xi felt that her chest was much better. Just as she was about to ask Ling Xiaojie and others for safety, Ling Xiaojie rushed in and shouted in a loud voice: "You are awake!"

Seeing that he was fine, Ling Xi felt relieved and lay back.

The man also put down his waist sign and said straight to the point: "I have something very important to tell you."

"What?"

"This matter involves the safety of the Ling family."

Ling Xi looked plain and asked, "What the hell is wrong."

"Half a month ago, Your Majesty issued an order to ask the general to go to the frontier to guard one side. This time, unlike last time, now all the troops have been replaced by His Majesty's men. His Majesty completely undermines the general and cannot command a single soldier at all. We were sent here to fight with the Southern Hungary and drag us down."

The reason starts with a small matter. A disciple of the Wang family broke out in conflict with the Ling family disciples. This was originally a very ordinary thing, just a fight between the juniors. Unexpectedly, the matter became more and more serious, and even the second prince was alarmed and went to mediate.

We thought this matter had passed, but the general's wife... was suddenly poisoned. After investigation, she found that it was poisoned by the people of the Wang family. In anger, the general led us to surround the royal palace and attacked in.

When His Majesty found out, he was furious and used this to punish the general and demoted him. He even purged the confidants of the general of the Ministry of War. No one could escape. Even the queen wanted to plead for the general, but she was sent to the cold palace and was not allowed to come out again.

When Ling Xi heard something happened to Ling Yingxi's mother, she hurriedly asked: "How is Yingxi's mother?"

"I don't know. Before her poison was untied, we were transferred out of the capital."

Ling Xi frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple. He said, "Please prepare a horse for me, I want to go back to Haoxi."

"I'm just asking you to go. You are the only disciple of the Ling family who can escape. Once you go back, remember not to go to the Ling Mansion, otherwise it will be difficult to come out."

Ling Xi nodded, and the general threw Ling Xi a bottle of pill: "This is a Gen-level healing medicine. Use half of your chest in the past few days, and the remaining half of it will be used on the way. You should be able to heal before returning to Haoxi."

"Ling Xi, I can't go."

Ling Xi was about to step forward and suddenly stood there, looking at Ling Xiaozheng with confusion.

Ling Xiaozhe had a serious expression and explained: "I knew these news earlier than you. I have considered it and I want to stay here. Ji Yuehan has no relatives. Once something happens to me, she and her brother will be finished."

Ling Xi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, so he simply shut up and threw two words away: "It's okay."

"I know you feel uncomfortable, so do I."

Ling Xi stopped and turned around and asked, "Do you still remember Mingyue?"

Ling Xiaojie clenched her hands and lowered her eyes: "She and I are not what you think. I really need a relative. You have Yingxi, what do I have?"

Ling Xi stopped arguing, turned around and left, looking at her eyes and sighed.

The fast horse ran back to Haoxi.

The people of Haoxi City were panicked, and the imperial guards could be seen everywhere. They no longer stood firm in the imperial city, but instead controlled the entire Haoxi City.

Ling Xi rushed into the door with a mask, dismounted and didn't even care about breathing. He raised his waist sign in his hand and said, "I want to see the second prince! Let me in!"

At this moment, only the second prince can rescue the siege. No matter whether he wants it or not, he will persuade him to help Ling Xi.

"Enter!"

Ling Xi was taken into the hall guarded by layers. He Ciyan held a brush in his hand and wrote a word on the paper. Seeing Ling Xi being brought in, he put down the brush and smiled, "Long time no see."

The imperial guards on both sides of Ling Xi retreated and guarded the door.

Before Ling Xi could say a word, He Ci interrupted him and said, "I am really convinced that the news is so closed. Do you think the Helou is gone, so you can pretend that you don't know anything?"

"I want to enter Ling Mansion!" Ling Xi expressed this request to He Ci Yan: "I agree to you no matter what the conditions are."

"Oh? What if... I'm going to marry Ling Yingxi?"

"Impossible." Ling Xi replied decisively when she heard this, clenching her hand into a fist.

He Ciyan gently raised his eyelids: "Don't have that expression, I'm joking. Her sister is my mother's queen. No matter how I do, I can't mess up my seniority. Oh, I forgot, my mother has been sent to the cold palace by her father, sorry." He said in a teasing tone, not caring about Ling Xi's thoughts at all.

"What do you want?" Ling Xi pressed the anger in his chest and asked in a low voice.

"I'm not very good. Look at the word I wrote, what does it want to express."

Ling Xi set his eyes on the word "六" and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Don't you know. The country is over, and the talent is amazing. Don't forget that without the promise of your father, all this you have is nothing." He Ciyan spread his hands and leaned on the back of the chair.

"Go back, they won't make things difficult for you. But, don't make it difficult for me to do it on my father. Oh, by the way, I have sent someone to send the antidote to Yingxi's mother's poison, so don't worry."

He Ciyan waved his fingers, pointed at Ling Xi with a lingering temperament, and said with a smile: "Don't let me down, I'm looking forward to how strong you can be in the Tianshi World Championship."

Ling Xi leaned over and said, holding his fists at He, and was taken away by the imperial guards on both sides.

"Miss! Miss!" Xiaoyue quickly walked into the boudoir and said to Ling Yingxi, who was guarding the window in a daze, "Good news, Ling Xi is back."

A surprise flashed in Ling Yingxi's eyes immediately, and she stood up and asked, "What did you say?"

Ling Xi stepped into Ling Yingxi's yard and felt a complicated mood.

Ling Yingxi stepped out of the boudoir and met the person she was thinking about day and night again.

"Ling Xi." She laughed out loud for the first time in half a year, and she felt secretly distressed in her heart. Ling Xi had a scar on her forehead that he hadn't even noticed. Ling Yingxi stretched out her finger and stroked it gently: "You are back."

Ling Xi responded as if he had made up his mind, "What happened."

Ling Yingxi didn't know what pressure he was under, so she took back her fingers and said, "My father was transferred away. Fortunately, my mother is fine. These days, the Imperial Guards are guarding outside the Ling Mansion. We are not allowed to enter and exit at will. We can't even inform you."

"I met your father's soldiers, and they told me." Ling Xi continued: "I came back to find out what was going on. The emperor must have known that this would happen long ago, and he was only able to act so quickly."

"You don't have to guess. This was initiated by the second prince." Ling Yingxi's eyes showed sadness: "I knew it when he sent someone to deliver the antidote. He was not at all kind."

"Ling Xi." Ling Yuhong appeared in the yard with Ling Li and called out.

Ling Xi turned around and looked coldly. He really had no good feelings for these Ling family members.

Ling Yuhong sighed when he saw Ling Xi's expression: "I said it when my second brother left. If you really come back, what you said to you before will be ruined. You are qualified to marry Yingxi."

Seeing that Ling Xi was still unwilling to speak, he continued, "Your Majesty has been planning this matter for too long. This matter is related to the survival of my Ling family. If Your Majesty really wants to kill, then our entire Ling family... I know you are dissatisfied with us, but now, the only ones who hope to save us are you and Yingxi."

"What do you want?" Ling Xi finally spoke.

"Before leaving, my second brother entrusts me to send you two to Guyun Sect. Only when you gain a firm foothold in Guyun Sect can you save our Ling family."

"Guyun Sect?" In Ling Xi's impression, this super sect has nothing to do with him.

"When we ascend to a high position in Guyun Sect, the emperor will have already taken action."

"No. This time it's different. In the near future, the selection of disciples by Guyun Sect once a hundred years. Our empire has five places, and your talent with Yingxi will definitely be selected. Once you establish a connection with Guyun Sect, the empire will not be able to kill you. Even if something happens to the Ling family and you two develop in Guyun Sect, you will definitely retaliate against it. The Tianwu Empire cannot afford the anger of Guyun Sect. He will be afraid of the rat, and the two sides will naturally be at peace."

"What about the queen, how about she? There will be no trouble in the palace, right?" Ling Xi glanced at Ling Yingxi and asked.

"It's hard to say." Ling Yuhong sighed: "I suspect that His Majesty made such a big move because the second prince was openly promoted to the throne. It was a foregone conclusion that the second prince's successor to the throne was deposed.

"You said, how can I get this game to live?" He Lixin asked with a smile, looking at the child he valued the most.

He Ciyan pinched the white piece with his hand, stared at the chessboard for a moment, put it on one side of the empty seat, immediately changed the situation of the endgame and turned to his side: "If you live it, you must make good use of the current situation. Guyun Sect is going to recruit disciples, and the two of the Ling family will definitely go. Ling Yucheng is not that stupid and cannot see the situation clearly, otherwise he will not be able to get to the present."

"Are you going?"

He Ciyan gave another son and shook his head slightly: "I'm not interested. I can get what Guyun Sect is willing to give me here, so it's meaningless to go there. However, there are three places."

"Oh? Then how about I hand over those three places to you?" He Lixin became interested, and the next black man was the next.

"The father really understands my intentions. I will not let my father down. I will use those three chess pieces to make the game well." He Ciyan pursed his lips, surrounded the black square with a piece, and trapped them to death.

He Lixin laughed loudly, gently stroked his sword and stood up and left, leaving him alone to attack the endgame.

"Remember, this world will be your chessboard in the future; they will be your chessboard in the future. Your talent and hard work will be your father. You know what you want in your heart, but you are still a little short of it."

He Ciyan stopped the Baizi in his hand, waited until He Lixin left before he crushed the chess piece in his hand, closed his eyes and exhaled in a deep breath: "Yes, Father."
