Chapter Seventy-Two: Provocation

Empress Dowager Cao has rarely lost her temper in recent years.

Mrs. Anjo looked at it and didn't say anything.

She lowered her head and embroidered a handkerchief for Empress Dowager Cao.

The hall was silent, and only the murmur of autumn insects in the woods outside could be heard.

In the room next to the side hall of the East Palace Gate, Wei pushed the door in horror and said in a low voice: "Eldest prince, the lights on the side of the dock have just been changed, and the six-linked bead lanterns are ......."

He was ordered by Li Qian to lie quietly on the eaves.

Li Qian's expression froze, and he said in a solemn voice: "I know." Watch out, I'm leaving!"

Wei Zhi grabbed Li Qian and said anxiously: "Eldest prince, I'll go with you!"

"No!" Li Qian said, "If we want to convince Empress Dowager Cao that we learned the news by chance, we can't bring more people, and I can only go alone." ”

"It's too dangerous!" the guards were so anxious that their eyes were red.

Except for Mr. Xie, everyone felt that the eldest prince's subordinates should not be involved in this matter. What's more, the eldest prince also fed the old man croton powder before, saying that if something happened, the Li family would just push him out. The eldest prince is simply taking an adventure!

Li Qian couldn't help frowning when he saw that he was still saying such things at this time, and his expression became extremely cold, and said, "At the moment of life and death, you are so loyal to me?"

"No, no. Wei said in a panic, "We all listen to the eldest prince, and we will do whatever the eldest prince says! I will take a few people to the Paiyun Hall according to your instructions." ”

Li Qian nodded, carried the sword and went out.

Xie Yuanxi's worries were in his heart.

He couldn't help but chase after him.

In the night, Li Qian's figure quickly disappeared into the trees like a black shadow.

Xie Yuanxi thought of the wide courtyard in the palace, the sparse ancient trees, even if it was windy and moonlit, and at night, someone could see it at a glance.

Which fool actually built the Empress Dowager Cao to Wanshou Mountain to celebrate her birthday.

There are many trees and grass, so that people can not see as soon as they get into the forest on a moonlit and starry night...... It's really going to die, Empress Dowager Cao!

Li Qian shuttled through the dense forest, and from time to time there were branches and leaves that stretched out abruptly in front of his eyes.

He carefully brushed aside the branches and leaves, approached the Great Bao'en Yanshou Temple, and saw a black robe, wrapped in a black head, and holding a large sword equipped by the Praetorian Guard. Those guards who took the Jiang family to get into trouble.

They have surrounded the Dabao'en Yanshou Temple.

I don't know if when the six-linked bead lantern at Shuimu's self-relatives pier was lit, as Jiang Zhenyuan said, they had just killed Cao Guozhu, or if they had already surrounded the Dabaoen Yanshou Temple after killing Cao Guozhu.

What Jiang Zhenyuan discussed with him before was that the Jiang family did the Jiang family's business. The Li family does the Li family's business.

If the Li family was caught by the people who went to report to the Empress Dowager Cao, and the Li family could not prevent Zhao Yi from imprisoning the Empress Dowager Cao in time, then he had to go out in person.

Speaking of which, I still don't believe in the ability of the Li family.

But Li Qian was not angry, but felt that Jiang Zhenyuan was indeed not in vain to be able to have today.

But Jiang Zhenyuan definitely didn't expect it. He will personally come to report to the Empress Dowager Cao.

Li Qian thought, and suddenly wanted to see what Jiang Zhenyuan's expression would be when he found out that the person guarding the Empress Dowager Cao's side was him.

He stepped forward lightly, trying not to make any noise from the dead branches of the bushes.

The group of guards who were guarding near the Dehui Hall were ready, and the cat hid in the bushes under the walls.

Two young men dressed in the same clothes as the guards walked in, tall, thin, with the agility and tension of a leopard. The other was half a head shorter than the tall man, and although he was burly and had a brisk gait, he knew at a glance that he was very good. But it was far from the momentum of the man next to him.

Li Qian thought: This tall man should be one of the conductors this time.

As soon as the thought flashed, the tall man didn't know whether he looked towards Li Qian's hiding place intentionally or unintentionally, and his deep voice also sounded in the silence of the night: "Is everything arranged?"

Because of the change of aspect, the bright white light shone properly on the tall man's face.

He has a pair of star-like eyes, a mountain-like nose, thin lips, a wide forehead, and a cold and stern expression.

It's actually a rare beautiful man.

But Li Qian found Jiang Xian's shadow from this man at a glance.

Could it be Jiang Lu, the cousin of the county lord of Jianan?

He guessed in his heart, and suddenly his heart was a little hot, and he really wanted to break into the Dehui Hall from Jiang Lu's hands at this time.

Hearts and minds together. Li Qian couldn't stop either, he turned around and jumped out like a swallow through a willow.

The burly man let out a low snort, drew his knife and slashed at Li Qian.

For a while, the murderous atmosphere was rampant. The air in the woods was a little colder.

Li Qian turned over in the air, the sword was unsheathed, and the tip of his foot hit the trunk of the tree next to him, and he pounced on the burly man like a flying eagle and a rabbit, the tip of the sword glowed with a piercing glow in the moonlight, and the sword body seemed to come to life. The strange pattern ripples in a circle like water ripples, so that when the eye falls on it, it is as if it has been sucked in, and there is no way to leave, which is very weird.

The burly man paused.

Jiang Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted in a low voice, "Fusheng, get out of the way", and was about to step forward......

Who knew that Li Qian's sword suddenly stabbed straight into Jiang Lu's throat.

The movements are as smooth as water, and they change freely with one turn and one turn, just like a dance.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Jiang Lu would have cheered.

He held the scabbard against his chest.

Li Qian's sword momentum remained unchanged, and it was on the ground, but he flew up with his strength, his body flipped and moved in the air, and he landed on the palace wall in an instant.

Jiang Lu was shocked.

Fusheng had come back to his senses and jumped towards Li Qian.

The guards who had been hiding in the bushes also reacted and surrounded them in an uproar.

Li Qian smiled back, blinked, and jumped into the wall.

Under the moonlight, his sword eyebrows are like peaks, the corners of his lips are slightly curled, and his smile is as bright as the sun, free and easy, handsome as the wind.

Jiang Lu was surprised, raised the corners of his eyebrows to stop Fusheng, and said: "Don't worry, even if he reports to the Empress Dowager Cao about this matter, the Empress Dowager Cao is gone, and it will be useless." Then he said to the guards who came up around him, "You don't have to worry, just do your part." ”

He vaguely felt that this man was the son of the Li family that his father had talked about before.

Interesting, interesting!

I didn't expect the son of the Li family to look like this!

The crowd saluted silently and took refuge in the bushes.

Jiang Lu raised his head and looked at the high wall, showing a thoughtful smile.

Empress Dowager Cao, who was waiting for Cao Guozhu, was disturbed by a burst of exclamations.

Who is so blind.

Mrs. Anjo was very upset and shouted, "What is the matter so loud!"

The door was pushed open with a "snap", and the palace maid beside the Empress Dowager Cao ran in in a panic and said, "Empress Dowager, yes, a guard broke in from the apse privately, saying that there is something important to tell you." ”

Dear friends, the monthly pass is 400 plus more!
