"My blade is very special. The prince's blade and sword are for killing. My blade is for saving people."

Gong Jiu came to a realization. So that was how it was. When Ji Tian Ning said this, he immediately understood that the cocoon in Ji Tian Ning's hand was left behind by the scalpel.

When the prince holds the sword, he is filled with killing intent. When I hold the sword, I hold the heart of a doctor's mother.

Gong Jiu let go of Ji Tian Ning's hand and returned to his seat. There was pink dust on his body, but he didn't bother about it.

On the ground, those guards were still kneeling, not daring to raise their heads.

"Greed fears death and has failed in his duties. What crime should he be punished for?"

"This lowly general waits for death, please punish me, your highness."

The guards trembled slightly. According to the military rules, they were sentenced to death. Its head was almost touching the ground, and the pink dust on the ground was emitting a faint aroma which seeped into its nostrils.

"Fragrant powder?"

One of the guards muttered as he suddenly raised his head to look at Ji Tian Ning. He could not help but ask, "Miss Ji, why is the pink color used no different from the fragrant powder?"

The several imperial bodyguards were all shocked. They also noticed that there were no abnormalities in their bodies. If this really was fragrant powder, then they would have been embarrassed. In order to avoid the powder, he had been punished for a crime that had never been seen before. The few guards raised their heads at the same time and looked at Ji Tian Ning, hoping that those words would not embarrass them.

"Your Highness, if I exchange one life for four, Your Highness won't suffer a loss, right?"

"You want to plead for them? Do you know the laws of the military cannot be underestimated? "

"A king's law is nothing but a favor. If you leave them with their lives, in the future, they will use their lives to repay you." Wasn't this more worthwhile than killing them? Moreover, what about trading their lives for four of their own? "

"Do you want to use that b * tch's life in exchange for your husband's?"

Gong Jiu refused to believe that Ji Tian Ning would use the life of Hateful Sky to exchange for the four guards under him.

Ji Tian Ning grinned. "How could I have the right to decide other people's lives? It's just that I can decide my life."

"What right do you have to use your life in exchange? You should know that your life is determined by this king."

"Haha …"

With a smile that was like a blossoming peach, his bright eyes turned as he said, "Your highness is sure that my life is in your hands, is that your highness's decision?"

This was the first time that Gong Jiu was so uncertain. He stared at the smiling Ji Tian Ning and didn't dare to say that he was the one in charge of Ji Ji's life. Who knew what methods this girl would use at the critical moment to prevent herself from being humiliated? She had used some unknown method to end it herself.

"If I can't even control my own life, then as a Witch, wouldn't I have failed greatly?"

Gong Jiu waved his hand, "You may leave."

The guards hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you for not killing me, Your Highness. This general shall repay you with my death."

They stood up and glanced at Ji Tian Ning before bowing simultaneously, "Many thanks to Lady Ji for your mercy."

"It's better that you thank your prince. My words are useless. In a while, I will send the antidote over to you. If you consume it, there will be no more worries."

The guards thanked him and backed off, feeling much better. One of them looked at the pink dust on the ground with a hesitant gaze, then looked at Ji Tian Ning. In the end, he didn't dare to say anything and retreated.

On the ground, Li Tian was thrown into the tent like a tied up dumpling. No one paid any attention to him.

"That pink thing is not poisonous."

Gong Jiu said coldly. His fingers brushed the pink dust on his clothes, which was now smeared on his skin. He put it on his nose and took a sniff.

"This is the peach-pearl powder. It is a special tribute. We can't see it in the market. Take its peach-blossom, burning its meaning, add pearl inside. It is said that if this powder is used for a long time, it will make one's face as beautiful as a blossoming peach and nourish it until it becomes old. "

"Your Highness is right. Is it because Your Highness saw through this thing that he didn't fear the sword, or is it because Your Highness will use the sword no matter what this thing does?"

"I can kill you two before I fall."

Shoulder King's tone was filled with confidence as the maliciousness in his eyes lessened. Ji Tian Ning had not lied to him. His comments about swordsmanship had resonated with him.

He gently caressed the hilt of his sword. At this moment, he actually hoped that Ji Tian Ning understood sword arts and could spar and discuss about it. His swordsmanship had changed too much compared to before, and it had attracted too much criticism.

Of course, those criticisms were all secretly slandering his sword arts, which made him very depressed.

"Unfortunately, you don't know any sword arts."

"Those who know the sword might not know the sword, but those who don't know the sword might as well know the river. How many of them know the king's sword arts?"

Gong Jiu raised his head to look at Ji Tian Ning and asked, "Do you understand?"

"It came as if it had been a fool for a very long time, as if it had disappeared into thin air without a trace, as if it had disappeared without a trace, as if it was untraceable, as if it was floating erratically, as though it was unbreakable. "Only speed cannot break a thousand holes."

A smile appeared at the corner of the Nine Heavens Palace as he said, "It's good to say that you have come as if you were a fool and did not have the time to think of where you could find it!"

A light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the sinister look in his eyes. At this moment, the nine heavens of the palace had some of the masculinity of a man. However, it was still too gentle.

"It looks like This King has underestimated you. Is fast the best?"

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as well as anticipation. Over ten years ago, his sword techniques had already started to deviate from their original path, seeking for speed and a strange, swift, and vicious move.

Originally, his sword techniques had been fair and square, with the demeanor of everyone else. However, because of something that made him sad for the rest of his life, not only had his temper changed drastically, his sword techniques had also changed greatly.

"To be fast is to not lose. To be in an invincible position will allow one to win a hundred battles." If others sent out a single strike and the prince sent out three, who would be the victor? It is the same principle for soldiers to be sly, and for soldiers to be quick and powerful. "

Gong Jiu was greatly comforted in his heart and revealed a smile, "No wonder Your Majesty was captivated by your coquettish ways of speaking. There are indeed few people who are not intoxicated by your coquettish words." Unfortunately, this king is the only person who will not be bewitched by you. "

Ji Tian Ning laughed, "I don't have the heart to befriend Your Highness. I'm just discussing the matter from the bottom of my heart."

"You don't want barbarian women to know military tactics. Is it possible that the prosperity of your barbarian land can be compared to this place?"

Ji Tian Ning shook his head, "They are not the same. My hometown is sweating like rain, the streets are wide and flat, there are many carriages. The roads can be divided into ten carriages, and the paths can also be separated into four carriages. The roads there, regardless of wind, frost, snow, or rain, are all flat and free from potholes, even the throne room is inferior. "

"That is not true. How can all the paths be like this? Even more even than the throne room? If I didn't think that you, a barbarian woman, would actually spout such nonsense and brag about yourself, "Nie Tian said in a low voice.

"If you don't believe me, I won't force you. You said that I'm a barbarian girl, but you didn't know that the barbarian land you speak of is a hundred times stronger than this place." Both the woman and the man there are officials at the same school, but they're not as reckless as the people here. "

"How can it be considered reckless?"

"The White Horse Emperor kidnapped me and brought me to the Imperial Palace. He didn't ask if I was willing, and privately forced me to be his servant. The people of the harem were like grass, the prince had returned to the capital without permission. Although the Southern Champion Kingdom has laws and regulations, these laws are only set for the weak citizens. "

All of a sudden, Gong Jiu was interested in Ji Tian Ning's hometown. He brushed away the scented powder on his body and asked, "I heard that your hometown is an overseas barbarian land. There are many witches living in your hometown. Is your so-called surgery a kind of sorcery? "

Ji Tian Ning initially wanted to explain it to Gong Jiu, but she realized that she couldn't explain it clearly. Besides, it wouldn't be beneficial to her if she explained it too clearly.

She smiled mysteriously and said: "I also have people in my hometown who practice this kind of secret arts."

Gong Jiu originally thought that Ji Tian Ning was a barbarian witch. She was not scheming or knowledgeable, and had obtained the favor of the reverse scale through magic. However, the first time they met, Ji Tian Ning had brought him too many surprises.

Faced with life and death, he was able to freely laugh and talk. He sacrificed himself as a companion to save his friend and decisively jumped into the river to escape. Especially after tonight's conversation, he realized that Ji Tian Ning was extremely knowledgeable and was extremely intelligent. She was not like the rumors had said she was a barbarian girl who did not know etiquette.

"How did you know that the Emperor was going to put you on the execution platform?"

"Your Highness's words are really funny. As far as I know, it was precisely Your Highness who forced me to do this." "Although your highness might not have returned to Fengyuan for this, if your highness had not secretly snuck back to the capital, he might not have done so."

"This matter is a secret. How do you know about it?"

Gong Jiu realized that the more he talked to Ji Tianning, the more he couldn't see through this woman. It was impossible for the reverse fire scale to tell a secret like this to the imperial concubine of the imperial harem, so it was impossible for Ji Tian Ning to know of it. He also knew that Huo Ni Lin had kept the matter of the execution platform a secret from Ji Tian Ning.

The thought became even stronger. This witch had a spell that could see through people's hearts. He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. If that was the case, then wouldn't his thoughts and intentions be transparent in front of this witch?

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it. There is no such thing as a wall that can't be broken. Your highness thinks that he is a secret, but I don't know that there is already more than one person who knows about this."

"Oh, who else knows about this?"

"Those who should know, will know."

Ji Tian Ning's words were full of mystery, and her charming face was filled with a mysterious smile. Modern people, a few do not dress up, put on a mask to play deep master.

The palace of the Nine Heavens mulled over the meaning of Ji Tianning's words. Originally, they had thought that returning to the capital was a very secretive matter. He wasn't afraid that the empress dowager would tell Huo Ni Lin, because he wanted her to know about this. However, he was forced to send Ji Tian Ning to the execution platform.

Originally, he had wanted this witch to die to save himself from future troubles. However, he hadn't expected that Gong Huan Feng would tell him about the poison that was secretly administered by Ji Tian Ning. However, the matter of the fire execution platform was already something that he had to do and could not change. Huo Ni Lin was also unwilling to accept Gong Huanfeng's plea and used Ji Tian Ning as a gift to send it to Yun Meng.

Because he didn't have time to make any other arrangements, he could only plan things out with Gong Huan Feng and secretly assist Ji Tian Ning to escape the palace. But in reality, once Ji Tian Ning left the palace, she would be under his control.

Although things had changed, the final result remained the same. Ji Tian Ning was unable to escape from his grasp and fell into his hands.

However, in the face of this delicate girl, handing over the antidote would be a problem in how to make her submit.

When his gaze landed on Li Hantian once again, he refused to believe that Ji Tian Ning would watch him suffer.

As Ji Tian Ning saw Gong Jiu's gaze sweep across Li Hantian, he immediately understood that Gong Jiu's intentions were to use Li Hen Tian to get her to hand over the cure.

"Haha …"

With a coquettish smile, her face carried a dense shaman's aura as she pretended to be mysterious, "Your highness, are you still trying to harm my husband? You must know, if the antidote is still in my hands, we have a way to live. If you hand it over, the king will be the chopping block, and the two of us will be the fish, so the king will punish us. Even though I am a barbarian woman, I have a clear understanding of such simple truths. "

The worry in Gong Jiu's heart was seen through once again by Ji Tian Ning and he could not help but become sullen.
