Eternal Sword

Chapter 684 The master behind the scenes
Daqian capital.

Imperial Palace, inner courtyard.

Snapped!Snapped!
There was a sound of whipping in the yard, accompanied by sharp and piercing shouts.

"You clumsy dog! You even spilled the wine that Dayuan offered as tribute to His Majesty. You are so tired of living! Why don't you confess your crime to His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, I know I am wrong. I deserve death!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of kowtow.

"Humph! How much is your life worth? Even if I kill you ten thousand times and exterminate your three clans, it is still not as valuable as this glass of wine!"

"What are you standing there for? Beat me until I kill you!"

From the inner courtyard, the little emperor's scolding was heard.

"Yes, yes, I obey your command."

Lu Li came outside and heard the noise coming from the inner courtyard. He frowned slightly, shook his head and sighed.

She was already accustomed to this scene.

Lu Li walked into the inner courtyard and took a look at the situation around him.

A young eunuch with a childish face, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, knelt in front of Yuan Taiping. He had been whipped all over his body, his clothes were torn, and his body was covered in blood.

An old eunuch next to him was holding a whip in his hand, and every time he whipped the young eunuch, a bloody mark appeared on his body.

"Stop for now. Today is a day of celebration and all nations are coming to pay tribute. Don't let this ruin your mood."

Lu Li frowned slightly, walked past the old eunuch, separated the two of them, and said something.

"The Master is here."

Yuan Taiping greeted.

Yuan Qingmu stood beside Yuan Taiping and nodded slightly when he saw Lu Li.

During this period, Yuan Taiping wanted to attack her several times, but Lu Li noticed it and helped her resolve the situation.

Lu Li said: "It's getting late, Your Majesty should leave."

"No rush, no rush."

Yuan Taiping chuckled and said, "Wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

Lu Li asked with a frown.

Yuan Taiping asked, "Have all the fifteen generals outside the capital entered the capital?"

Lu Li's heart moved.

Yuan Taiping lived deep in the palace, how could he know about this?

Lu Li replied: "The order was sent an hour ago. They should have entered the capital by now."

"That's good!"

Yuan Taiping nodded, stood up and said to Xuanwu Sijun beside him: "Xuanwu, take someone to bring Yuan Qingmo out. I want him to see with his own eyes what the capital of Daqian is like under my rule!"

"Today, I will make him die with a sincere heart!"

Yuan Qingmu's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Aren't you going to execute him in the autumn?"

"Hehe, he won't live to see the autumn!"

Yuan Taiping gave a strange smile.

Yuan Qingmu frowned and said, "Your Majesty's words are golden, and it is not appropriate to change them every day."

"Nothing wrong."

Yuan Taiping curled his lips, slightly side-glanced, looked at Yuan Qingmu, and said with a smile: "In order to prevent some people from thinking about rescuing him, don't you think so, aunt?"

Yuan Qingmu's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said, "I don't understand what your majesty means. Who dares to run to the capital to rescue people?"

Yuan Taiping said: "Now in the capital of Daqian, the generals and the generals have all left, and the leader of Xuantian has also left. The capital is now empty."

"If there is an expert with extremely strong martial arts skills who sneaks into the palace and rescues Yuan Qingmo, it will be very bad."

"I've heard from my father that my aunt's master is such a master." Yuan Qingmu was shocked and lowered his eyes slightly, trying to stay calm and not reveal too big a flaw.

Lu Li couldn't help but look at Yuan Taiping.

Sect Leader Xuantian had just left the capital as soon as possible, and she had not had time to tell him about mobilizing General Qu to come to the capital and execute Yuan Qingmo ahead of schedule.

But Yuan Taiping, who lived deep in the palace, guessed the conspiracy behind it!
Before she could say anything, he had already made a response and was going to execute Yuan Qingmo today!

How could this little emperor think so far?

wrong!

Even if Yuan Taiping was extremely intelligent and could see the undercurrents in the capital, how could he detect the departure of Master Xuantian?

Sect Leader Xuantian, Yue Wuxin and Queen Yin left the capital quietly without disturbing anyone.

How did Yuan Taiping know?
Lu Li subconsciously looked at Xuanwu Sijun beside Yuan Taiping.

Among the four great Sijuns, except the Azure Dragon Sijun, the Black Tortoise Sijun has also stepped into the first grade and achieved the status of a master.

Could it be that this person reminded Yuan Taiping?

Or is there another master behind Yuan Taiping?

Lu Li suddenly found that he could not see through this little emperor.

"correct."

Yuan Taiping asked again: "Have you found the location of the remnants of the Qilin Guard?"

Xuanwu Sijun said in a deep voice: "It has been locked. During this period, the masters of Suzaku and Baihu are watching, and they can be captured at any time."

"it is good!"

Yuan Taiping smiled slightly and said, "Spread the news. Yuan Qingmo will be executed today. Give them a chance to rob the execution ground."

Yuan Qingmu's heart sank.

Her little nephew is more troublesome than she thought!
Yuan Taiping chuckled and said, "I am now looking forward to seeing Yuan Qingmo and these former members of the Qilin Division reunited at the execution ground and go to hell together. That will surely be a very exciting scene!"

"Aunt, you must stay by my side when the time comes, and we will enjoy it together."

Yuan Qingmu remained silent.

"Ugh."

Yuan Taiping suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity that Qinglong died in Heishui Country. In fact, I heard that some of Suzaku Si's rebels ran there and wanted Qinglong to capture them and hand them over to my aunt, but I didn't expect Qinglong to die in a foreign land."

After a pause, Yuan Taiping suddenly asked, "What does this Xiling Demon Lord want to do? Why does he repeatedly oppose our Daqian?"

Lu Li said, "Not really. It is said that this person was an enemy of the barbarians under the city of Liangzhou. When he was in the Far North Frost Region, he was also fighting against the Black Water Nation. It's just that Azure Dragon Sijun was unlucky and ran into Xiling Demon Lord."

"good."

Xuanwu Sijun nodded and said, "The people in the Demon Sect are moody and always act as they please. They are just a bunch of lunatics. They may kill people for no reason."

"Now that I mention it, the Demon Sect is quite suitable for me, haha!"

Yuan Taiping laughed loudly.

Lu Li said: "This time, all the thirty-six countries of Xiling have sent envoys here. When the time comes, we can ask the people in these envoys. I'm sure we can find out information about the Demon Lord of Xiling."

"Ignore him!"

Yuan Taiping's eyes turned, and he suddenly said, "This time, thirty-six countries have come to Xiling, and there is also a Xiling Saint. It is said that this Xiling Saint is as beautiful as a fairy, with a beauty that can overturn a country. I want to take a good look at her."

at the same time.

Outside the capital of Daqian, convoys of diplomatic envoys from the Western Regions were heading this way.

Among the countries in the Western Regions, the Kingdom of Dayuan was obviously different from the other countries. Every horse in the caravan was extremely tall.

In one of the magnificent carriages sat a woman with a veil on her face and wearing a long, aqua-green robe; her face could not be seen.

The eyes exposed outside are like two mysterious gems, with a magical power to captivate the soul.

Perhaps due to the bumpy ride of the carriage, the woman suddenly felt unwell, lifted the curtain, and retched a few times.
