It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

Jian Qing recalled a detail in the music hall. At that time, because Ning Xun's Kuang Lei Curse caused the imperial guards to seal off the city, she had to stay in the central army and let Chen Zi lead the team to send Sheng Sheng to Qili Street Pavilion outside the city... For a moment, Chen Zi's eyes were wrong.

It seems like the joy is being suppressed intentionally, but not suppressed?

The situation was urgent at the time and she didn't think much about it. Chen Zi had passed many tests by her and gained her trust. She has been working for her wholeheartedly over the past few years.

Jian Qing also thought that Chen Zi was just greedy for power, and would be happy about the great achievements he made this time and the rewards he would receive.

But after hearing no news from the group, Jian Qing was thinking about it...

Suddenly shocked!

She herself is a person who is good at scheming and plotting. If Chen Zi has always pretended to love power, but is actually an upright and strong person who is not moved by money, sex or power, and only wants to avenge her blood relatives and endure humiliation.

Then...then Shengsheng is in danger!

Realizing this, Jian Qing, who had always remained calm and composed in the face of adversities, panicked for the first time.

But she is a scheming person after all.

He suppressed his panic, thinking that if he were Chen Zi and his group, there would be two injured warriors of the same level, plus five Jian Mansion warriors...

How should we deal with it and which path should we take to avoid the imperial guards and create favorable conditions to achieve our goals.

In this consideration.

Jian Qing planned out seventeen routes on the Tushandu map as quickly as possible.

She was pretty lucky, actually.

The team she led just happened to find Chen Zi and Sheng Sheng... When Ming Tan was saying that he respected the loyalty of the Chen family and that he wanted to save Chen Zi, Jian Qing had already caught up and was near the end of the alley.

The situation at that time.

Mingtan came from the alley and blocked the way ahead.

So if Chen Zi wanted to escape, she could only flee from the end of the alley. While Jian Qing was lucky that Sheng Sheng was safe, he was also determined not to let Chen Zi live.

Ming Tan respected the loyalty of the Chen family, but she felt nothing...

She, Jian Qing, only has feelings for Xia Li!

——Anyone who dares to hurt Shengsheng must die!

"Duanqing is dead, and now there is only Mingtan."

Ever since he openly violated the punishment agreed upon by the three armies in Jiushang Palace and wanted to take Xia Li away, Ming Tan is no longer the leader of Taiwu League... His past reputation for loyalty and righteousness, and his courage to be the first in the world, has become a thing of the past.

After all, Mingtan said it.

From that day on, there is no more sword of forgetfulness, nor broken love in the world. I only love Xia Shengsheng wholeheartedly, and I will never regret Ming Miaoling until I die!

Oh, she also split the tokens of the successive leaders of the Taiwu League into two pieces, and it has not been repaired yet.

If it weren't for her extremely high martial arts value, she would have been buried alive by the heroes of the Taiwu League. Even if she wasn't buried alive, her hands would definitely be chopped off...

——Let your hands get naughty!

"Friend Ming Dao came by chance. He actually arrived before me."

Even as he asked this question with a smile, Jian Qing had already given his confidant a hint with his eyes, and soon the news spread, and the elite troops of the Western Army immediately gathered here.

When Jian Qing faced Ming Tan, he felt the powerlessness that Chen Zi felt when he fled in panic.

If she hadn't seen this person standing not far away, she wouldn't have been able to detect even a trace of his presence...

Moreover, even in this situation where she couldn't sense any breath at all, she felt a chill down her back.

I just felt like a disaster was about to happen, but I didn't know where it was coming from.

After not seeing him for five years, Jian Qing had no idea how terrifying Ming Tan had grown to.

so......

She needed an army, she needed the might of the Western Army's thousands of soldiers, to have the confidence to take on the man before her.

Yes.

Jian Qing will not give up Sheng Sheng, even if a variable like Ming Tan appears at this moment!

"It's no coincidence. Someone sent me a message saying that Xia Li was in trouble."

"Who is that person?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing hated this man very much.

When the letter that reminded Sheng Sheng that the jade flute was poisonous appeared, Jian Qing knew that there must be a spy. She also knew that such a detailed plan was not carried out by her trusted assassins, but by several people with whom she had a good relationship.

It’s Jian Qing.

In fact, he is somewhat similar to Shengsheng. Both of them are the kind of people who find it difficult to trust others, but once they trust others, they are unwilling to spend more time on defense...so when such trust is betrayed, it is often more painful.

Jian Qing has been trying to find this person, but has no clue.

"Zheng Qian."

"...He doesn't want you to get Xia Li."

Mingtan did not hide anything, nor did he follow the request of the writer, but directly revealed the other party's identity.

Because that person was just using her, using her to stop Jian Qing from hiding Sheng in the golden house. And she was also very clear about the purpose of doing so, after all, they were all classmates in Taiwu Garden, and nothing could be hidden.

That person, Zheng Qian.

Since he was ten years old, he has been in love with Jian Qing and obeyed her every word.

Chapter 196: A Sad Person Will Make the Sword Sad

"Zheng Qian?!"

Hear the words.

The shock and anger in Jian Qing's eyes flashed away. Zheng Qian was her childhood friend and had always obeyed her. She also knew his thoughts, but they had made it clear a long time ago... From now on, they would only be friends, and only friends.

At that time, Zheng Qian agreed readily with a sincere look on his face.

Even Jian Qing was deceived.

After knowing that someone secretly sent a letter to Xia Li, she has been secretly investigating the matter. She has suspected everyone around her, except Zheng Qian, her most trusted friend, who only made a brief investigation and did not investigate further.

Who knew......

The person who betrays you is the one you trust the most.

In fact, if you think about it calmly, Zheng Qian does have a strong motive, but Jian Qing subconsciously doesn't want to believe that he would do this. She actually has very few friends, almost none.

"Who else could it be other than Zheng Qian?"

Ming Tan said calmly.

"Jian Xihou, with your mind, can't you guess it?"

Although this sentence was said coldly, it actually contained a hint of sarcasm.

It implies that Jian Qing is such a calculating and sinister person, is it possible that he can't detect the spies around him, but pretends to be righteous and asks even though he knows the answer?

Because the old King Qin, Qin Yun, has been dead for five years, many of the secrets about Qin Yun are no longer as strictly guarded as when he was alive...A year ago, Ming Tan learned the reason for his first encounter with Yun Sheng in Huaqing Pool from a palace servant who knew the truth.

Among them is Jian Qing!

Ming Tan is certainly not stupid. He has now sorted out all the grievances of the past and finally knows who made it difficult for him and his young wife to be together.

It was precisely because he knew the whole story that Xia Li's rejection outside Jiushang Palace and all the resentment he felt towards Xia Li's cruelty and ruthlessness turned into clouds and smoke, condensed into rain and fell on Jian Qing's head.

after all.

Mingtan just lacked an excuse to convince himself to turn back.

I finally found it a year ago...

Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed over here after receiving Zheng Qian's secret letter!

In fact, she had arrived more than a month ago. Because of her extremely high level of cultivation, no one could notice her when Youfeng was not around... So, Ming Tan saw Xia Li and Ning Xun being so affectionate over the past month and it hurt his heart.

But it hurts.

In just one month, her cultivation has improved again, and now she has reached the fourth level of Dao Body, which is the peak of the Dao Body realm.

This level of cultivation is extremely rare, not to mention now, even a thousand years ago!

and.

The speed of growth is unprecedented.

For all these reasons, Ming Tan hated Jian Qing to the core...and because Sheng Sheng was right behind her, she didn't want to appear ferocious or aggressive, so she just hid her anger in her words.

"I, Jian Qing, have always been simple-minded, so it is inevitable that I will be betrayed by my friends. It is only natural that I didn't expect it."

"Ah."

Hearing the other party's shameless words, Ming Tan smiled without saying anything.

"Tell Zheng Qian about this matter. Thank you, Friend Mingdao."

"But one thing is one thing, Brother Ming, please let Xia Li go and leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise..."

"otherwise?"

"What else are you going to do?"

Ming Tan raised his eyebrows, but did not let go of Sheng Sheng's wrist.

See this.

Jian Qing's pleasant face suddenly changed, revealing a cold and ruthless look. Xia Li was something she had been planning to get for many years, so how could she let Ming Tan kidnap her halfway?

When it comes to one's most precious treasure, even the best disguised person will become angry and anxious.

"Ming Tan! I know that you have great skills and can easily frighten thousands of soldiers."

"But... I don't know which is faster in this long and narrow corridor, your sword or my Western Army's divine crossbow!"

As soon as Jian Qing finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

Countless torches instantly lit up on the high walls on both sides of the corridor.

Crossbowmen wearing armor and helmets, with solemn expressions and sharp eyes like hawks appeared densely behind the high wall... At the same time, the entrance and end of the alley were also surrounded by neatly lined up crossbowmen.

At this moment, Jian Qing had already retreated into the army formation, looking at Ming Tan in the alley from afar...

"This is the Divine Crossbow Battalion formed by our Western Army, which was specially built to deal with the impending evil. We selected sharpshooters from among the 100,000-strong army and carefully trained them for five years."

"In such a narrow alley... Mingtan! No matter how powerful your Dao body realm is, you will still bear the hatred under the salvo of thousands of arrows!"

The crossbows of the Divine Crossbow Camp are all specially made, with the ability to break the protective spiritual energy of monks.

Also.

At this moment, the terrain has an absolute advantage. The soldiers of the Divine Crossbow Camp are standing in a staggered manner. With just one round of crossbow arrows, without the formation of Youfeng's piano music turning into swords, they will be shot into pieces.

Jian Qing knew that Ming Tan was very strong. Five years ago, he was a peerless master of the first level of the Dao Body Realm...

But the elite crossbow soldiers she trained personally are even stronger!

She had done many tests on this point and was absolutely confident. The elite soldiers of the Divine Crossbow Camp were the reason why she dared to take Sheng Sheng away tonight despite the Imperial Army sealing the city!

of course.

Shengsheng is still in the alley, so Jian Qing definitely cannot order an attack.

If only Ming Tan was there, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Sir, should we shoot the enemy in the alley?"

At this time.

The commander of the Divine Crossbow Battalion asked for simple and clear instructions.

This commander himself was also a strong man who had just entered the third level of Qufan, so he could vaguely feel Ming Tan's fear. Even if he couldn't feel it, he was one of the soldiers who had been to Jiushang Palace that year, and he was deeply impressed by Ming Tan, who changed the world when he broke through.

But the commander of the Divine Crossbow Camp was not Jian Qing's absolute confidant, and he didn't know that the target of tonight's operation was right behind Ming Tan.

However, based on his own combat experience and military accomplishments, he believed that Xi Hou should immediately order the shooting of the powerful enemy!

That's why he specifically asked for instructions.

"Without my order, you are not allowed to release..."

"Fire arrows!"
