#365 - Catching an adulterer
When a naked man and woman were exposed before everyone's eyes, the scene was indeed erotic, but no one would have the thought of "feasting their eyes" at this moment.
In his previous life, Wei Changtian had occasionally seen short videos of "catching someone in the act."
Among them, the betrayed party, regardless of gender, could be roughly divided into two categories:
The volatile type and the calm type.
Before transmigrating, Wei Changtian was not married. Although he married Lu Jingyao and Xu Qingwan one after another after transmigrating, he never imagined what he would do if he encountered such a situation one day.
But it seemed he would belong to the former type.
Fortunately, the protagonist was not himself at the moment, so after a brief shock, Wei Changtian had regained his ability to think, looking at Ding Zhong and Yu Pingjun, wondering what they were thinking.
And he was also one of the only two people who dared to stare at the exposed Yu Pingjun at this moment.
In any case, the latter was still the Empress after all.
Therefore, the several Great Feng royal experts had already turned pale and shifted their gazes away, and so did Chu Xianping.
As for Li Qi...
"Clang!!"
The Son of Heaven Sword hanging at his waist was suddenly unsheathed. In the next moment, this Great Feng Emperor transformed into a furious black shadow, shooting towards the dog and woman not far away.
Unlike Ning Yongnian, Li Qi was not good at cultivation, and his realm was only at the fifth rank.
Moreover, this Son of Heaven Sword mostly served as a symbol of authority, and it had been a long time since it was last unsheathed.
Who would have thought that when the sword was drawn again, it would be to take the Empress's life.
"Bitch!!!"
The distance between the two parties was not far to begin with, so almost in the blink of an eye, Li Qi had roared and rushed to the front of the phoenix bed.
The veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, and the hand holding the sword seemed to be trembling slightly.
Not only was this the first time Wei Changtian had seen Li Qi like this, but it was also the first time Yu Pingjun had seen him like this.
Everything happened too suddenly. The latter didn't even have time to cover her body with clothes when the bright sword blade was already hanging high above her head, and then it fell heavily without any hesitation.
If this sword hit its target, Yu Pingjun would be split in two in the next moment.
However, Ding Zhong, who also couldn't find his pants at the moment, reacted at this time. The inner strength around his body surged instantly, and he gritted his teeth and punched towards the sword light.
"Clang!!!"
As if slashing on a piece of gold and stone, the long sword trembled violently and was suddenly bounced away.
Li Qi's face flushed red as he staggered back three steps, but Ding Zhong did not stop. Instead, he changed his fist into a palm, and like a "naked tiger descending the mountain", he took advantage of the situation to pounce towards the former.
To be honest, although Ding Zhong looked quite embarrassed in his naked state, this was actually a very correct choice.
Li Qi was only at the fifth rank, and his martial strength was far inferior to Ding Zhong, who was at the third rank.
Of course, if those royal experts took action, the latter would naturally not be able to escape.
However, because Li Qi's movements were too sudden, the experts couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This gave Ding Zhong a glimmer of opportunity.
He didn't know what would happen to Yu Pingjun, but at this moment, he was undoubtedly in a life-or-death situation.
And the only chance of "survival" was to kidnap Li Qi as a hostage.
"Your Majesty! This humble general is sorry to you!"
What "loyalty of a subject" and "ethics of the ruler and subject" had long been thrown to the back of his mind.
Ding Zhong, who even dared to sleep with the Emperor's wife, had all his psychological burden dissipated with this roar, leaving only the desire to survive.
However, what happened next proved that he had shouted this sentence a little too early.
"Puchi!"
"Ugh ah!!"
Fresh blood splattered on Yu Pingjun's dazed face, appearing particularly bright on her fair skin.
She stared blankly at the long sword that appeared out of nowhere, and the painful roar of Ding Zhong echoed in her ears.
A third-rank expert had his hand chopped off by a sneak attack.
The royal experts who had recovered from their shock didn't have time to think about where this sword came from. In the next moment, they all rushed close, and with a few moves, they blasted Ding Zhong, who had not yet stood firm, away, making it impossible for him to pose any threat to Li Qi.
"Bang bang bang!!"
"Crack! Crash!"
"."
The sound of hitting, wood breaking, and porcelain shattering immediately rang out.
However, these sounds seemed somewhat distant to Li Qi.
He just stared intently at Yu Pingjun, who was covered in blood, and then slowly raised the Son of Heaven Sword high again.
Li Qi didn't understand why the latter would betray him, and he didn't want to explore the reason.
He didn't even care about the consequences of killing Yu Pingjun like this.
When the love in his heart turned into hatred in an instant, the surging monstrous hatred had completely drowned his reason.
This kind of emotion is actually not difficult to understand.
If there was no affection between the two people, only the name of husband and wife, then Li Qi might still be able to think about the problem calmly.
But when the virtuous wife and good mother you thought you had, the woman you thought you could grow old with, suddenly betrayed you without warning, and you even witnessed the whole process with your own eyes, and saw her panting and groaning with other men...
Perhaps no man in the world can remain calm at this time.
"Die!!!"
Only two words, but they seemed to be squeezed out of the deepest part of Li Qi's throat.
The Son of Heaven Sword, gleaming with cold light, flashed like a light and shadow, and then suddenly let go in a loud "clang", flipped several times in the air, and finally plunged into the ground with a "crack".
"."
The last time Ding Zhong saved Yu Pingjun at the last moment.
And this time...
"Your Majesty, neither of these two can be killed for the time being."
Wei Changtian walked to Li Qi's side expressionlessly, and with a casual move, he retracted his long sword into the Star Saber scabbard.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the house already knew who the sword that had just injured Ding Zhong came from.
However, no one cared about this trivial matter at this time. Everyone stared intently at Li Qi, not daring to breathe loudly, waiting for his decision.
"."
The Son of Heaven Sword stuck in the ground was still trembling slightly, and the air in the room was almost frozen.
Li Qi stared at Wei Changtian without saying a word, his expression changing several times in a few breaths.
Finally, when the blood red in his eyes gradually faded away, he finally uttered a sentence in the most bitter tone.
"Okay, then we'll wait for Master Wei to finish the interrogation before making plans."
"."
Phew, that's good...
Nodding, Wei Changtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Yu Pingjun and Ding Zhong not only knew the whereabouts of Bai Youheng, but may even know what Ning Yongnian was planning, so they must not die like this.
But after all, the royal experts around him would only listen to Li Qi's orders. If the latter insisted on killing someone, then he would not be able to do anything.
Fortunately, it seems that this Great Feng Emperor has not been completely overwhelmed by anger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cupping his hands, Wei Changtian was about to tell Li Qi to leave quickly, lest he change his mind again.
But at this moment, Yu Pingjun, who had not said a word since just now, suddenly let out a sneer.
"Giggle, Your Majesty, you really are a good-for-nothing."
"This concubine thinks that General Ding is a hundred times stronger than Your Majesty."
"Oh? Does Your Majesty want to hear how this concubine and General Ding..."
"Slap!!"
It's hard to say what kind of mentality Yu Pingjun was in when she said these words at this time.
Perhaps she was seeking death, perhaps she was venting, or perhaps she was just disgusting Li Qi.
But in any case, when Wei Changtian slapped her face without hesitation, these sarcastic words came to an abrupt end.
"Your Majesty."
Ignoring the extremely shocked gazes of the people around him, Wei Changtian casually retracted his hand and cupped his hands towards Li Qi, whose body was trembling non-stop.
"Let's go."
