Chapter 677: Crane King Cave Three
In autumn, even the garden has a lot of shrubs and flowers that fall apart.
There was a maid on the ground who was sweeping slowly with a broom.
Lu Sheng didn't go far, just went back to his room.
He didn't go to the Moon King's bedroom, and he didn't hurry to pack his things. I just found a chair and sat down, lying on my back, looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard outside that were turning in the wind.
After waiting for a while, suddenly a scream came faintly from outside the garden.
Lu Sheng didn't move, still lying on the chair, and he also heard the screams of the guards outside.
However, he is confident that Xiao Rong will not disappoint him.
Soon the sound of footsteps approached from outside the garden, but as they approached the garden gate, all the footsteps suddenly disappeared.
Everything is calm again.
The maids who swept the floor had a calm face, as the maids of the palace, they were naturally not of ordinary quality, and there were not a few assassination attacks they had experienced.
Although there are not many assassins who can directly break through to this position, it is not impossible. So she can still maintain her demeanor.
The maid quietly glanced at Lu Sheng from the corner of her eye, and saw that his face was calm and did not show any panic, and her heart was also determined, and she continued to sweep the floor.
A short time later, another group of hurried footsteps came from a distance.
The guards around him seemed to be missing, and there was no sound at all. But as the footsteps approached the small garden, they suddenly seemed to disappear, completely missing.
After that, there was no third wave of Assassins coming close.
The corners of Lu Sheng's mouth hooked up a hint of arc.
"Is this scared?" he thought he was a great master, but he didn't expect this to be the only skill.
After waiting for a while, no sound came out, Lu Sheng slowly got up, stretched, and turned around and walked in the direction of the study.
Squeak.
The door was pushed open, and the Moon King was holding a clamp in one hand, holding the centipede on his chest, and slowly pulled it out.
"Why are you back!?" he heard the voice, and when he looked up and saw Lu Sheng coming in, his expression suddenly changed.
"I suddenly felt like I didn't need to go anymore. Lu Sheng smiled.
The Moon King narrowed his eyes. Suddenly I felt that I couldn't see through my only son.
"Just now, several waves of assassins came, but they were all desperately repelled by the guards of the palace, and now they are fine. Lu Sheng comforted, "Father, you just take care of your injuries." Speaking of which, Erchen entered the mountain to cultivate this time, but he has read some miscellaneous books, which record that the centipede on your body can be eliminated by the method of eliminating the black scorpion. ”
"Black Scorpion Method, what do you say?" At this time, the Moon King felt more and more that his son was not simple. Before cultivating, maybe I really met the guidance of a master.
"It is to use the triple flower, the root of the bark tree, and the head of the nine-colored toad, mixed together and pounded into a paste, to lure the centipede away, and then kill the centipede, so that the injuries on the body can be cured. Lu Sheng explained carefully.
He did read this information when he was managing Cheonghe Road.
“...... I'll give it a try. The Moon King said in a deep voice.
"Then, the son retired. Lu Sheng slowly exited the study.
The Moon King saw him leave and closed the door. I couldn't help but think of my friend Jiang Rong, the governor of the seven provinces.
Jiang Rong is a friend with him through chess, has an extraordinary temperament, and often has extremely accurate comments on current affairs.
Moreover, his experience seems to be extremely rich and mysterious, and occasionally gossip, the Moon King has heard some strange and strange things from his mouth.
There is also the always mysterious Qingwang Mansion, this time before he set out, I heard that the Qingwang sighed on a sunny day at that time, heavy rain is coming, wind and thunder gather.
He had seen King Qing, a very mysterious and calm middle-aged man.
That kind of temperament is somewhat similar to Huang Jing, the only son at this time.
The Qing King's Mansion is arguably the most mysterious place in the entire dynasty, where it is like a huge whirlpool, constantly stretching out countless tentacles.
No one has really entered the Qing Palace, and no one has ever seen the royal family except for King Kaiqing. Occasionally, the guards and attendants who entered and exited the palace were all silent and would never say a word to the outside world.
And King Qing has always been smiling calmly and silently in the court, acting as a background board. It is often possible for people to ignore his existence directly.
But whenever there is a force that wants to attack the Qingwang Mansion that occupies a rich place in a province, the person in charge of this force will always disappear inexplicably.
Once or twice, three times or four times, the number of times is too much, and everyone is afraid.
It is said that even the blood guards sent by the Great Emperor have folded a lot in the Qingwang Mansion.
So in the court, even the emperor was polite to King Qing.
The Moon King's thoughts came to this, and he sighed, a little helpless, but also a little hopeful.
If he had the strength of King Qing, maybe the current situation would not have appeared.
He thought about it, quickly got up and rang the bell, called the maid, and prepared to try it according to what his son had said.
******************
When Lu Sheng got out of the study, he called the maid and went to call the guard An Tenghui.
An Tenghui has served diligently in the Moon King's Mansion for decades, old and strong, a spear with elusive skills, amazing power, and once set a brilliant record of killing thirteen horsemen in a single row on the battlefield.
You know, it's infantry vs. cavalry!
Now An Tenghui has served as the chief guard of the palace for more than ten years, and his parents and grandchildren are all on duty in the palace, which can be described as absolute loyalty.
Soon, Lu Sheng saw the burly, white-haired An Tenghui in the small pavilion in the garden.
"My subordinates have seen the prince, I don't know what the prince commands?" An Tenghui knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Uncle An is polite, I don't know if you heard the screams coming from outside just now?" Lu Sheng looked at An Tenghui carefully.
This person's face is calm, his face is Chinese, his facial features seem to have always been solemn, he is not smiling, he is obviously over eighty years old, but his figure is still extremely strong and tall.
"What do you mean, could it be that there was an assassin just now!" An Tenghui was suddenly startled, and suddenly stood up and pressed the hilt of the knife.
"Didn't Uncle An hear any sound?" Lu Sheng said with a smile.
"The subordinates really didn't hear any sound at all. An Tenghui shook his head slightly.
"Okay, let's go down and rest. Lu Sheng didn't say much, and commanded casually.
"Yes. An Tenghui nodded, turned around and walked towards the small garden door.
Walking out of the garden, he looked back in the direction of the gazebo.
"Huh?" An Tenghui suddenly sighed softly, the pavilion in his eyes was actually empty at this time, where was there any trace of the prince and the guards.
Before he could come back to his senses, a white shadow suddenly flashed behind him.
An Tenghui's eyes were certain, and his whole body suddenly froze, and the whole person fell backwards.
"I ..... I...."The last thing he saw was a white shadow flickering before his eyes.
"How can I, Qing Lingzi... Died in..."Before he finished speaking, his whole body was completely out of breath.
After a while, An Tenghui suddenly opened his eyes again.
"Huh, where am I?" he touched the back of his aching neck and got up from the ground.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in his mind, and the scenes that he had been controlled to do before were quickly replayed in his mind.
An Tenghui's face turned pale. Looking around, there was no one around, and he hurried out of here.
As he grew old, he knew that he was caught up in the battle between the gods and gods.
The assassination campaign unanimously lasted three days.
In the past three days, there have been at least dozens of assassins killed by Xiao Rong, and there are even two ghost-like ghosts among them.
The other side also seemed to find that there was no point in going on like this, only increasing casualties, and on the fourth day, there were no more assassins, and everything returned to calm.
After waiting for a few more days, the Moon King's injury was also healed according to Lu Sheng's method, and as soon as the centipede was lured out of its body, it was no different from an ordinary centipede, and it was trampled to death.
After only a few days of recuperation, the Moon King quickly set off and rushed to Kyoto to recover his life.
Lu Sheng directly transferred one of the twelve demon cranes to follow the Moon King to Beijing to protect him.
After the demon crane became a demon, it gave full play to the original advantages of the white crane, and its body speed reached the realm of ghosts, and one breath could rotate more than ten times around a person.
The speed is simply appalling.
In addition, it also has the ability to fly, and the sharp beak infused by demonic power is a natural weapon. Such an assassination is simply invincible.
A shapeshifting demon crane is enough to be equivalent to an elusive hundred-man assassination squad.
Lu Sheng let a demon crane protect him, which also means to test the strength level of Kyoto.
***************
Kyoto, court.
The Moon King stood respectfully in the ranks of ministers on both sides, lowered his eyebrows and did not say a word.
General Shenwu was reading aloud the battle report that had just been delivered.
The golden court was solemn.
"His Royal Highness the Moon King, I heard that the Moon King's Mansion was assassinated a while ago, I don't know what the current situation is?
"It's okay, it's okay... It was all up to the palace guards to repel the Assassins, and everything was fine. The Moon King smiled and whispered back.
"The guards of the Moon King's Mansion are really good, my Mountain King's Mansion was also attacked by assassins a while ago, and more than a dozen guards were lost, and it was not easy to capture the assassins. A vassal king on the other side shook his head in a low voice.
The Moon King remained silent and listened carefully to the Mountain King's detailed story.
A few ministers who were standing a little farther away also noticed the commotion.
"Hey, thirteen plum blossom assassins, the Red Dust Heroes and their husbands, and more than ten masters of the Dadi Tibetan Temple, three masters before and after, completely disappeared when they entered the Moon King's Mansion. This moon king still looks dazed and ignorant, who is pretending to show it?" said an old minister with a mocking sneer.
"Even the Dadi Tibetan Temple has sent people?" said another minister in horror.
"Naturally, it is said that there are also high-ranking monks who planted the technique of black poisonous blood centipedes, but the result is still ineffective. The old minister shook his head.
"I haven't heard that there are any top masters in the Moon King's Mansion?"
"Who can tell you this, maybe you just recruited it?"
"The Sanmei rebels have assassinated many important ministers in a row, but this time they targeted the Moon King, but they missed. There must be means in the follow-up, just wait and see. ”
Now, in addition to General Shenwu, it is the three princes who command the army to suppress the country, and the Moon King is one of them, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor.
If the three Moon Kings don't die, the overall situation will not collapse. General Shenwu can still support the number of dynasties.
