Chapter 834 The Gate
As time went by, Su Mingwei gradually became exhausted and suffered multiple injuries. Her clothes were stained with blood, but it did not weaken her fighting spirit at all. Just when she was about to collapse, a crisp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a sharp arrow shot down a man in black who was about to attack her. Then, dozens of spies in black came from all directions and started a fierce battle with the men in black. It turned out that Su Mingwei had been prepared and arranged for spies to follow secretly before the appointment. With the support, the situation was reversed in an instant. In the end, the men in black were all wiped out, and the middle-aged man in the lead was also captured alive. After interrogation, the middle-aged man confessed that he was a small leader of a mysterious organization, and another phoenix edict was hidden in the mansion of the Minister of Personnel. And the real owner behind this mysterious organization was actually the national teacher of the Northern Yan Kingdom. Chapter 6 The truth is revealed Su Mingwei immediately reported the news to Xiao Mingxi. When Xiao Mingxi learned about it, he was furious: "How dare the Northern Yan Kingdom plot against me like this! Lord Su, take people to the Minister of Personnel's Mansion immediately and take back the Fengzhao!" Late at night, Su Mingwei led a group of guards and quietly surrounded the Minister of Personnel's Mansion. With an order, everyone poured in like a tide. The Minister of Personnel's Mansion was brightly lit. The Minister of Personnel Wang Chengye seemed to have expected this day to come. He sat in the hall, playing with a crystal clear jade plaque in his hand, which also had a red plum blossom engraved on it. "Lord Su, you are finally here." Wang Chengye said calmly, "Unfortunately, you are still a step late." Su Mingwei looked at him vigilantly: "Wang Chengye, you colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed His Majesty. Do you know your crime?" Wang Chengye sneered: "Crime? In my opinion, Xiao Mingxi is a woman and is not worthy of sitting on the throne. Only the national teacher of Beiyan is destined to be the emperor!" Before he finished speaking, a large number of killers poured out from all corners of the mansion and surrounded Su Mingwei and others. These killers are well-trained and highly skilled in martial arts. They are obviously carefully trained. Su Mingwei was not afraid and led the guards to fight the killers. For a time, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and shouts of killing shook the sky. In the melee, Su Mingwei saw Wang Chengye quietly retreating towards the secret room. She was moved and knew that Feng Zhao might be in the secret room. So she fought hard to make a bloody way and chased after him. At the door of the secret room, two guards blocked her way. Su Mingwei used a series of sword moves, and the guards were defeated in a few moves. Pushing open the door of the secret room, she finally saw the Fengzhao, which was placed in an exquisite jade box. However, just as she was about to pick up the Fengzhao, Wang Chengye suddenly attacked from behind and stabbed her in the back with a dagger. At the critical moment, a figure flashed by and blocked the dagger for her. It was Xiao Mingxi! It turned out that she was worried and personally led the imperial guards to support. "Your Majesty!" Su Mingwei was shocked and anxious. Xiao Mingxi covered his injured shoulder and said while enduring the pain: "Su Aiqing, don't worry about me, take the Fengzhao!" Su Mingwei gritted her teeth, picked up the Fengzhao, turned around and fought out of the siege with Xiao Mingxi. With the support of the imperial guards, they finally succeeded in defeating the enemy and captured Wang Chengye and others. Chapter 7 The Ultimate Showdown After taking back the two Fengzhao, Su Mingwei and Xiao Mingxi did not relax. They knew that there were still two pieces of Feng Zhao missing, and the Imperial Master of Beiyan would not give up. Sure enough, not long after, Beiyan openly launched an invasion on the grounds that the succession to the throne of Dayin was illegal. The Imperial Master of Beiyan personally led the army and soon reached the border of Dayin. Xiao Mingxi decided to lead the army in person, and Su Mingwei accompanied her. Before leaving, they found clues to the third Feng Zhao in the palace. It turned out that it had been hidden in the previous emperor's bedroom and protected by a mysterious mechanism. After some twists and turns, Su Mingwei and Xiao Mingxi finally got the third Feng Zhao. At this time, they were one step closer to the truth. On the battlefield, the smoke was filled with gunpowder and the shouts of killing shook the sky. The Imperial Master of Beiyan used evil magic to make the Beiyan soldiers extremely brave, and the Dayin army retreated step by step. Su Mingwei looked at the anxious Xiao Mingxi and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the fourth Fengzhao is in the hands of the Beiyan State Master. As long as we can get it, we may be able to turn the tide of the war." Xiao Mingxi's eyes were firm: "Okay, no matter what, we must give it a try. Su Aiqing, you come with me and go straight to the Beiyan State Master!" So, Xiao Mingxi and Su Mingwei led the elite cavalry, broke through the enemy's defense line, and rushed straight to the central army tent where the Beiyan State Master was. In the central army tent, the Beiyan State Master was resting with his eyes closed. He was tall, with a stern face, and exuded a mysterious and powerful aura. "Xiao Mingxi, Su Mingwei, you've come just in time." The Imperial Master opened his eyes and sneered, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Su Mingwei clenched the soft sword in her hand: "Hand over the fourth Feng Zhao, and I'll spare your life!" The Imperial Master laughed: "Just you? Today, I'll let you know what real power is!" Before he finished speaking, the Imperial Master formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, dark clouds gathered, and countless black shadows emerged from the ground and rushed towards Xiao Mingxi and Su Mingwei. Su Mingwei and Xiao Mingxi fought hard, but these black shadows seemed endless and invulnerable. Just when they were in despair, Su Mingwei suddenly remembered the three Feng Zhao in her hand. She put the three Feng Zhao together, and suddenly, a dazzling light burst out, and the black shadows dissipated. Seeing this, the Imperial Master's face changed drastically. Su Mingwei took the opportunity to rush forward and started a fierce battle with the Imperial Master. Although the Imperial Master was powerful, he gradually lost to Su Mingwei's exquisite swordsmanship. In the end, Su Mingwei pierced the Imperial Master's chest with a sword. Imperial Master Chapter 5 Life and Death Contest As the investigation deepened, Su Mingwei gradually approached the truth, but danger also came with it. She had been assassinated many times. If it weren't for her superb martial arts and wit, she would have died long ago. One day, Su Mingwei received a mysterious letter, saying that she knew the whereabouts of another Fengzhao and asked her to meet in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. "My lord, this is probably a trap." The subordinate persuaded. Su Mingwei looked determined: "Whether it is a trap or not, I will go. For your majesty, for the Great Yin Dynasty, even if it is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, I will not hesitate." As night fell, Su Mingwei came to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city alone. The ruined temple was pitch black, with only moonlight falling from the broken window lattices, shining on the dust and spider webs on the ground. "Come out, I'm coming." Su Mingwei said coldly. A sinister laugh sounded, and a dozen men in black emerged from the darkness and surrounded her. The leading man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a middle-aged man with a ferocious face. "Su Mingwei, you are indeed courageous. However, today is the day you die!" the middle-aged man said viciously. Su Mingwei clenched the soft sword in her hand, her eyes calm:
