Chapter 25: The Storm Strikes (Part I)

The imperial study in the depths of the Qingyu City Palace.

"Your Majesty."

"What's going on?"

The sudden appearance of the shadow startled Emperor Lu Huaan, you must know that the shadow has never taken the initiative to appear, so something bad must have happened this time.

"Your Majesty, Shadow Three came to report that His Royal Highness the Third Prince had secretly searched for three unidentified corpses."

"And one of them is very similar to the legendary Qilin genius, but its appearance is not the appearance of the Qilin genius."

"The remaining two corpses are very similar to the advisors Li Ru and the martial artist Zhang Liao under the Three Princes."

Emperor Lu Hua'an frowned when he heard this, all the three corpses were deliberately searched, and he remembered the legend that the Qilin genius had returned to Jiuyuan, so he knew what Lu Jiuyuan was going to do.

Steal the day and hide people's eyes.

That's right, it is to hide the eyes and ears of the sky, and the purpose is to directly avoid the spies who are secretly monitoring Li Ru and Zhang Liao, so that they can do what Lu Jiuyuan wants to do.

The emperor clearly knew that someone in the Fengyu Empire had already secretly made a move against Lu Jiuyuan, but there was a strong grandmaster like Gai Nie, so he wouldn't worry.

Looking at the heavier and heavier rain outside, Emperor Lu Huaan knew that this would be another unquiet night, and something big must be happening.

Rumble! Prosperous! Prosperous!

The thunder suddenly became several times louder, and Lu Jiuyuan, who was sitting in the pavilion of the Yuan Mansion, was also startled.

At this time, Li Ru and Zhang Liao had secretly gone out from the back of the Yuan Mansion, that is, the Mu Mansion, and they also climbed over the wall to enter the Mu Mansion.

Moreover, Li Ru and Zhang Liao walked very secretively, and the people arranged by Duan Fu, the housekeeper of Duan Long, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, did not notice that Li Ru and Zhang Liao went out of Mufu.

"Wen You, I don't know when I'll see the lord here."

"Don't worry, at most, the lord will go north as soon as the new dollar passes."

Li Ru knew that Lu Jiuyuan would definitely stay in Kyoto for a long time this time, but it would not be more than a year, and at most he would go north as soon as the New Yuan Festival passed.

"Let's go, let's go to Beijun and wait for the lord's north!"

"Now Zhang Naizhuang is still waiting for us outside the north of the city, don't let him wait too long, this rain is too big."

Li Ru reminded Zhang Liao to hurry as soon as possible, it was really too rainy, and Zhang Naizhuang was still waiting outside the city, so the rain would definitely not be long.

Li Ru and Zhang Liao had already prepared a carriage on a hidden street, such a heavy rain was not suitable for walking, and Li Ru was a scribe, although he had cultivated Wendao, his body was not as strong as a martial artist.

Originally, Lu Jiuyuan thought that Li Ru and they had a good way to get out of the city, but they didn't expect to take the silver, it seems that it is not false that money can make ghosts grind.

Li Ru and Zhang Liao didn't just spend money, and it was not uncommon for the city gate guards to be greedy, but Li Ru and Zhang Liao were obviously rich people, so the guards asked for three ingots of silver.

The trading currency of the Kyushu mainland is gold, silver and copper coins, which were popular in ancient China, and the market value of copper coins is the lowest.

A piece of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, that is, ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper coins, but copper coins are generally calculated in a co., and copper coins are always 100 copper coins, and one tael of silver is also ten copper coins.

Three taels of silver can't be taken out by an ordinary person at all, and only merchants, rich people or officials can take it out, and three taels of silver can be used to guard the city gate for two months.

One and a half pieces of silver a month was already considered the highest group for soldiers, and now they demanded it from merchants, and their expenses for a month were comparable to a county order.

It is said that after Li Ru and Zhang Liao went out of the city gate, they saw Zhang Naizhuang in the small grass hut in the north of the city, and then the three of them went north together.

Prosperous! Prosperous! Prosperous!

There were three more thunders, but this time it was different from the last time, louder than the last one, and the momentum was even greater.

Moreover, the powerful lightning strike almost hit the palace with the tallest building in the center of the city, producing a white light that was only instantaneous, illuminating the entire Qingyu City.

All the people of Qingyu City also noticed it, even the carriage walking on the official road in the north of the city was frightened, and Lu Jiuyuan in the Yuan Mansion also saw it.

Lu Jiuyuan was still sitting in the pavilion of the Yuan Mansion, and Gai Nie had already come to the pavilion at this time.

Gai Nie felt that there were many hidden martial artists near the Yuan Mansion, and there were more than one, their aura was very strong, at least it was also an innate fivefold, and it was different from the ordinary innate fivefold. Lu Jiuyuan may not be able to deal with it.

"Childe."

"Mr. Gai, wait, I don't want anyone to escape from my hands."

Since Lu Jiuyuan has set up this game, he has to complete this game perfectly, and once someone escapes, it will have a great impact on Lu Jiuyuan's plan.

That's why Lu Jiuyuan didn't let Gai Nie make a move, and Lu Jiuyuan hadn't done it for a long time, so he could have a chance to give it a try this time, after all, it would rust after a long time.

"Yes, Childe."

Gai Nie knew what Lu Jiuyuan meant, so he rarely appeared in everyone's sight recently, the purpose was that as long as Gai Nie was not in the Yuan Mansion, so that those people would dare to come to my Yuan Mansion.

"By the way, how is Mu Hanxue handling it?"

"Childe, Mu Hanxue has been stunned by my true qi, and he won't wake up until tomorrow morning."

Lu Jiuyuan was much more relieved when he heard this, he might not be able to take care of Mu Hanxue when he fought, Gai Nie had to always pay attention to whether anyone had escaped, Lu Jiuyuan was going to kill the enemy again, and it was best for Mu Hanxue to be knocked out.

Lu Jiuyuan is still very concerned about Mu Hanxue, if there is an accident, how to tell Li Ru, even if Li Ru will not do anything, he will definitely do the same thing again secretly, Lu Jiuyuan does not want to be led by Li Ru again.

Prosperous!

Another thunderclap!

Outside the mansion, twenty or thirty assassins in black night clothes held knives in their hands, and were ready to rush into the mansion and kill everyone in the mansion.

Prosperous!

It was another thunderclap, and I don't know why there was so much thunder tonight.

"Remember, don't let go of anyone in the Yuan Mansion, especially Lu Jiuyuan."

The person at the head looked at the thirty or so people in front of him and said in a deep voice, the above ordered that all the people in the Yuan Mansion could not live, especially Lu Jiuyuan, the third prince of the Qingyu Dynasty.

"Yes."

Everyone replied in a low voice, because it was louder than loud for fear that the people in the abyss house would find out and hide, and it would be difficult to find it at that time, and the killer was not a fool, and the basic consciousness was still there.

"Do it."

Under the order of the leader of the people, everyone rushed into the Yuan Mansion, and they were bound to kill Lu Jiuyuan, so that they could get a huge reward.

Boom!

The sound of kicking the door, the sound of tiles falling to the ground, and the sound of rain are like a chaotic battlefield, and it is impossible to tell who is who.

Prosperous!

"It's raining again, and the storm is finally coming."

Looking at the black-clothed assassin who broke in, and with a thunderclap, the storm that Lu Jiuyuan was waiting for finally came, but Lu Jiuyuan didn't know how fierce this storm was.

All the assassins who broke in saw Lu Jiuyuan and Gai Nie directly, because only the pavilion master was lit up in the courtyard of the Yuan Mansion, which was very noticeable.

Prosperous!

"Surround them up."

Under the shouts of the leader, all the assassins surrounded Lu Jiuyuan and Gai Nie in the pavilion, but none of them dared to step forward, they all knew that the first one to step forward would generally die the fastest.

Unless they have absolute strength, they don't necessarily know how they will die, but do these assassins really have that kind of strength, under Lu Jiuyuan's perception, except for the person who spoke who didn't know the specific realm, there were only two innate double martial artists, and the rest were basically seven or eight times the day after tomorrow.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is really bold, he actually sits here and waits for us to kill you."

The leader looked at Lu Jiuyuan and Gai Nie standing in the pavilion without a trace of panic, and knew that he and the others had fallen for the conspiracy arranged by Lu Jiuyuan.

But he was very confident in his own strength, even if he was tricked, all his plans were vulnerable in the face of absolute strength, and he didn't take Lu Jiuyuan and Gai Nie into his eyes at all.

"You're welcome, I didn't expect you to come anyway, I thought my plan couldn't have succeeded, but God seems to be going to help me."

"Tell me, who sent you, as far as I know, it is impossible for my eldest brother, second emperor brother and fifth emperor brother to recruit such a genius as you."

Lu Jiuyuan didn't feel a little nervous when he saw the people in charge, and when they entered the door, Gai Nie told Lu Jiuyuan that one of these assassins was very extraordinary.

And this person is the leader of the assassins, a master of the innate fivefold, and if he can get Gai Nie's extraordinary evaluation, then it means that this person's combat power is invincible in the same rank.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you don't have to know, you're going to die anyway, what's the use of knowing."

The person at the head seemed to have settled on Lu Jiuyuan, thinking that Lu Jiuyuan would definitely die, so he sneered at Lu Jiuyuan, but Lu Jiuyuan didn't think that he could be killed by these assassins easily.
