Chapter 123: Unbelievable
"I have to say that the heritage of your house is really profound. And where did you find this Shakshasa? The method of horizontal cultivation both inside and outside has almost entered the realm of transcendence. In addition, these 100 soldiers are also all of extraordinary strength. I'm glad it's you this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable—"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. The reason why he was able to survive today was because of these four three-grade offerings.
If he hadn't insisted on recruiting all the seventh-grade powerhouses as his personal guards, he might not be able to deter the Yipin who had been lurking on the side this time. Even the dozens of black-clothed killers, they may not be able to withstand it.
But Sima Liancheng's last sentence made him a little unhappy. Fortunately, this assassination, is it him Li Shimin?
"I mean really!"
Sima Liancheng sighed slightly: "Only Lord Yitong's martial arts cultivation and family background can withstand these rebels to fight back, otherwise this time, I will be embarrassed and the Great Sui Imperial Court." ”
When Li Shimin heard this, his face turned a little pale. He thought to himself that Sima Liancheng's words were right, if the hero who had helped the driver before died at the hands of the assassin in less than half a month, the shock to the entire Great Sui government and the opposition could be imagined.
If it weren't for him, if it was someone else, he might not be safe this time.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head: "This is really unscrupulous and crazy!"
In fact, he slandered in his heart, and he didn't know if the ability of those traitors was too strong, or the people of Xiuyi Wei and Si Litai were too unpopular, so he couldn't catch them until now.
In Li Shimin's view, this is simply unbelievable. The other party did not use a few assassins, but moved an army of thousands of people to the land of Guanzhong, so many people ate horses, and left a large number of clues at that time.
What is surprising is that the embroidered guards and the Yushitai, etc., so many manpower, so many veteran detectives, after searching in Guanzhong for more than ten days, they have found nothing.
These few families only investigated the vicinity of the battlefield, and there were three manors that might be involved in the case, and it was likely that they were the hiding places of the traitors. But before the embroiderers and guards had time to make any moves, these houses had already raised their villages*, leaving only a blank field.
"Who's to say it's not?"
Sima Liancheng sighed softly: "Since the early years of the Great Sui Emperor, I have never encountered such a crazy thief!"
He wanted to say something to Li Shimin next, but he was immediately diverted by a sudden roar in the distance. Li Shimin also looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that about ten miles downstream of the Naluo River, a large cloud of fire suddenly burst out.
※ ※ ※ ※
The pursuit arranged by the embroidered guards really failed without suspense. The other party had already prepared a way to break the rear, and an unexpected explosion successfully made the three high-grade powerhouses retreat under Tang Yuanhua's pursuit.
The only result of the embroidered guards was to capture a few low-grade black-clothed assassins. Two of them were successfully captured by the embroidered guards before they had time to bite the poison pill in their teeth.
But the knowledge of these two people is limited, and even if the embroidered guard uses the method of soul searching, he has not been able to find more clues. Their only gain was to confirm that these assassins were all disciples of the Southern Overlord Sect's Kaige Gate Wall, and there were three hiding places destined to be abandoned by the traitors.
——These were the third days after the incident, and Li Shimin learned from Yu Wenshi and his mouth. Although Sima Liancheng has a good impression of him and trusts him, the secrets of these embroidered guards still can't be easily leaked to outsiders.
On that day, Li Shimin was not able to get out until the end of noon. This is because of the Yushitai, Si Litai and the people of Henan Mansion arrived one after another, pestering him and many subordinates to interrogate for a long time, until all parties were satisfied, and then let it go.
At this time, it was not early, and it was naturally impossible to rush to the palace to be on duty, and the new official that Li Xuanba was looking forward to taking office also went bankrupt. Li Shimin could only take everyone with him and returned to Tang Guofu again.
And along the way, Fan Shixing and Li Xuanba both looked quite depressed.
Needless to say, although the former is the captain of the pro-soldier team, he is a transparent person throughout the whole process. The battle array was commanded by Li Xin, the main force to resist the assassins, and it was also the four major worshippers led by Sharakshasa.
And Li Xuanba, although before the start of the war, had already clamored to make the assassin look good and have a good time, but after the incident, this one almost didn't help anything, so he could only stay by Li Shimin's side.
This kid's brain is actually very smart, and he knows that if he rushes out, he is afraid that not only will he not be able to play a role, but he will become the only weakness of their side.
That sharpshooter will not hesitate to target him and disrupt Li Shimin's steps. Therefore, Li Xuanba stuck to Li Shimin's side from beginning to end, unwaveringly.
But because of this, Li Xuanba's mood will be even more uncomfortable.
Li Shimin knew this very well, but when he returned home, he didn't say a word, and it wasn't until he returned to Tang Guofu that he patted his third brother on the shoulder: "You don't usually boast of yourself, saying that you are already a man, a husband? Why do you want to be so depressed today? If you weren't backing me this time, would you really be your second brother able to fight with that guy wholeheartedly without distractions?"
Li Xuanba is not the kind of person who is easy to be bullied, but after he listened to Li Shimin's words, he was thoughtful: "Second brother, you are really good at persuading people, I am in a much better mood now when you say this!"
This was because he heard Li Shimin's sincere voice and did not contain the slightest hypocrisy; second, after careful reflection, he found that the situation at that time was indeed as the second brother said.
At that time, Li Shimin, as long as he was distracted, had to face the result of losing in the arrow battle.
"So no need to be frustrated!"
Li Shimin laughed: "I know that your Red Sun Extreme True Dafa can only highlight its true power when you reach the realm of the three grades." Third brother, you have to continue to work hard, I am looking forward to fighting you at that time!"
But he soon regretted saying this, and that night, Li Xuanba went to the newly repaired courtyard again, and fought with him for two full hours under the pretext of diligent cultivation. It wasn't until Li Shimin was smashed to the point that he left satisfied.
And a big battle shocked Li Shimin. Although he had lost a lot of vitality due to the assassination during the day, and he didn't use all his strength this time, since he had experienced the celestial induction, even if it was only five or sixty percent of his strength, it was far better than before.
But Li Xuanba can still fight with him with a little reservation. It can be seen that these days, the speed of progress of his third brother is so fast.
This made Li Shimin envious, but also couldn't help but feel bitter. I thought to myself, is this what the true monarch said about the 'overlord' assets? It is the natural root, and they all crush the existence of these so-called 'geniuses'. The achievements in the future can be compared with Gu Zhixiang Yu, Lu Bu, Ran Min and other figures.
With Li Xuanba's current rate of progress, he estimates that he can now press his third brother for two more years at most. Two years later, Li Xuanba can throw him so that he can't even see the ponytail.
He didn't know that Li Xuanba at this time was even more shocked. As soon as he got out of the hospital, he was incredible, looking at the courtyard wall behind him, he felt that his second brother was really unfathomable!
During the day, he saw Li Shimin with his own eyes, and he was almost prostrate. How much can he recover from this afternoon? He also thought that tonight, he would take advantage of the danger of others, and his second brother must be in a situation where he was bullied this time, but the result of this battle was still a draw. He even felt that Li Shimin was still as comfortable and capable as before.
Hell, what is the current state of his second brother's cultivation?
But then Li Xuanba became excited again. Li Shimin is different from his brothers and sisters in Luliang Mountain, because he made up his mind to restore the Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spears, so what he has learned is mixed, he has seen and heard broadcasts, and he has dabbled in swords, lances and guns, and it is almost unsystematic. In addition, this ability to adapt to emergencies is also superhuman, and he never sticks to the rules. Sometimes it will be shaken by brute force, and sometimes it is a style that breaks thousands of pounds by chance, and it is arbitrarily transformed.
He fought his second brother, and it felt like he was fighting against more than a dozen opponents with different styles one after another.
With such an opponent, he can better hone his martial arts-
※ ※ ※ ※
In the early morning of the next day, when Li Shimin finished his meditation and recuperated from his slumber, he faintly heard the sound of weapons breaking through the wind.
He looked at the sky and saw that it was not until midnight (5 a.m.). Then he pinched another spiritual vision technique and 'looked' outside the courtyard gate
Later, he found that in a flat field outside his courtyard gate, Fan Shixing was practicing martial arts one by one. That is exactly what he and Shi Rakshasa taught Fan Shixing some of the martial arts foundations.
But Fan Shixing didn't feel that these boxing fights and movements were boring at all, not only engrossed, but also meticulous.
It can be seen that this guy has gradually corrected some of the defects and vices he developed when he practiced martial arts in the past, and the progress in this regard is beyond expectations.
Li Shimin looked at it for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, and then couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that he had to give this guy a change of residence as soon as possible.
He didn't expect that this guy, who was still a little lazy when he first took charge of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, would change his style greatly after he really worshiped him, which was very different from the past.
But after all, this is where several of their brothers live, and efforts like Fan Shixing's will inevitably disturb people's dreams and offend his brothers.
It's just that although he thinks like this in his heart, the smile on his face is gradually thickening.
Fan Shixing's talent is better than that of Li Xin and others, as long as he is willing to work hard, his future martial arts achievements will definitely surpass these two.
No matter how good Li Xin and Dou Zhongxian are, they are both his parents' people, and Yang Yun has nothing to do with him Li Shimin - but Fan Shixing is!
After the recent turmoil, he was looking forward to having one or two subordinates who were strong and could be trusted.
Therefore, he has high expectations for Fan Shixing, and there is no shortage of resources such as exercises, pills, and ink armor in his hands, as long as Fan Shixing works hard enough, he is sure to cultivate him into a strong man of at least one grade.
And Fan Shixing at this time is undoubtedly able to satisfy him.
