Chapter 848: Chapter 108: Heavenly Strategy General Enters the Palace to Kill!_3

"Grandfather’s guidance is taken to heart."

Ji Yunqing stretched out his hand, picking up a white chess piece. The piece was held in his palm; the old man maintained himself well, with fair and slender hands, seemingly controlling a puppet, he said lightly:

"Money, power, beauty, prestige, how many heroes throughout history have failed to see through it? Many heroes in the Capital City lose their resolve to beauty, it eats away at their heroism."

"You must also remember, only by relying on power can one achieve our desires without bloodshed."

Ji Yunqing advised his grandson, then smiled and said: "You, you, only pretend to be naive in front of me. You feigned Ji Zichang had an ailment, lured out his childhood sweetheart, and poisoned her, I shall not speak further of it."

"Yet today you pretend to be naive in front of me."

"Did you not already seek out the Great Grandmaster from the Divination Lineage, who foretold the inevitable death of the Sword Madman? Li Guanyi’s greatest reliance is no more, and by now, Li Guanyi must be holding the dying Sword Madman, tears streaming down his face?"

The young man accompanied with a smile:

"I still believe the words of that Great Grandmaster."

"Ji Zichang’s sons were all cursed to death by him."

"Yes, the world is about to change, but this change in the world will not affect us. I know your thoughts; I am already of this old age, having enjoyed the riches and splendor of the world all my life, I will likely die peacefully and posthumously titled Wen Zheng."

"As for you, you are only in your twenties, and the world may be in jeopardy."

"But no matter whether Chen Country or Ying Country gains the world, when they arrive here, you should open the city gates, take out the Jade Seal, kneel respectfully, saving one’s life is not difficult, perhaps even becoming a Marquis."

"See, amid the tumultuous world, we stand firm while Li Guanyi, Chen Dingye, Jiang Wanxiang, are merely fleeting clouds; no matter who wins, you and I will have prosperity and wealth, this is the way of power."

"It’s a pity, not having killed Li Guanyi, the one holding the Chi Xiao Sword."

"And not even of the royal family."

"Shouldn’t he die?"

"Being on good terms with Ji Zichang, shouldn’t he die?"

The grandfather and grandson were discussing when they suddenly heard a commotion outside, the sound alarming, Ji Yunqing remained calm, quietly playing chess, his grandson Ji Tuanxiao went out to see, walking through layers of screens and ponds, impatiently said:

"Who is causing a ruckus here, not afraid of being taken by the Ritual Office and receiving punishment?"

The sound abruptly stopped, Ji Tuanxiao’s eyes froze.

In front of him, a war horse clad in full armor reared up, with its rider, a War General in Mo Armor, thick eyebrows and large eyes, holding a dark long spear, with one thrust aimed forward following the horse’s momentum.

This thrust did not aim to kill, passing through Ji Tuanxiao’s cheek side, cutting his hair.

"Pingyang, assistant, do not kill him!"

"There will be trouble if you kill him."

Ji Tuanxiao recognized the voice.

It was Li Guanyi!

He breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing the dignity of the royal aura, yet he wished to reprimand Marquis Qin Wu about managing his subordinates. Do they not regard the people of the world?

He could not speak out.

The neighing of the warhorse sounded like a dragon’s roar.

Another warhorse dashed out from the side, the young rider on it grabbed the war spear from Ling Pingyang’s hand, and with a simple motion, pierced through Ji Tuanxiao’s chest, spraying a gush of blood.

Boom!!!!

Mighty force, carrying Ji Tuanxiao back in flight.

Crashing through layers of screens.

Blood splattered across the ground, spilled into the pond, with hundreds of carp tumbling like waves.

Ji Tuanxiao was impaled by a spear, pinned inside the study room beside the chess-playing elder, such great strength that after piercing through Ji Tuanxiao’s body, the spear blade was still firmly nailed into the ground, the red blood, Ji Tuanxiao struggled endlessly.

Ji Yunqing seemed in disbelief, as if frozen.

The rules familiar to him appeared shattered in that moment.

The sound of the warhorse subsided.

Hooves clad in iron landed in the opulent house with a crisp sound, Li Guanyi, clad in a War Robe and battle armor, held the reins in his left hand, letting the warhorse come inside and graze on the expensive flowers Ji Yunqing had bought at great cost.

Ji Yunqing looked up at Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi sat on the warhorse gazing down coldly at him, stretched out his hand, grasped the war spear, and in an instant, Inner Qi erupted.

Ji Tuanxiao’s heart burst directly.

"My kill, and there will be no issue."

The palace personnel were in shock, incredulous, that this member of the royal family, a cousin of the Emperor, was killed just like that, the breeze carrying the scent of bloody chaotic times.

Li Guanyi withdrew the spear, Ji Yunqing, after a long daze, finally regained his senses, said:

"You, you, you..."

"You killed a member of the royal family, how dare you kill the Emperor’s brother?!"

"What of the big picture? Do you not see the big picture, the grand trend? Your title just earned, your esteemed name just acquired, do you not cherish them?! Unable to contain a moment’s anger, disregarding the big picture, you you you..."

Li Guanyi said: "At worst, I do not need this Marquis title."

Ji Yunqing’s face went pale.

Li Guanyi asked: "Were you the one who sent assassins to kill me today?"

Ji Yunqing said: "Not just me."

This sentence directly implicated more people.

Ji Yunqing further said: "The Emperor is about to arrive, you dare not kill me."

From behind, indeed, the sound of the Imperial Guard from the Imperial Palace, the Qilin Army’s Heavy Cavalry entering the palace, the guards gathered however possible, Ji Yunqing’s face showed a faint smile of composure, saying: "General Li, do not defy the grand trend."
