Chapter 83: Trouble is coming

Outside the Zhaowu Gate, not to mention that the people present were extremely shocked. Even if Chu Jiangmian was here, I am afraid that he would lose his jaw. Who would have thought that! The shopkeeper of the restaurant, who smiled in the eyes of all the merchants who came and went to the goods trading office in Nancheng, turned out to be a terrifying figure.

The fierce battle suddenly stopped, and whether it was the spies of the Zhao State or the raiders from the Qin State, they all looked at the people who stood easily, and they didn't know what to say. Elder Yu Ji and Hua Shanjun are of course recognized as supreme masters, but since even such a powerful supreme master is in the hands of the other party, one has been dismantled, and the other has a different head, and his head doesn't know where to fly. So what are the other people doing!?

Although these guys sent by the Hook Elimination Department are called dead spies, they are not blindly sent to death. No one wants to die worthless at the hands of a master who is not at the same level at all, and they don't want to be clicked like chopping wood by that powerful axe. Therefore, after hearing that cold word, the rest of the people retreated almost unanimously at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, they retreated into the darkness again, and disappeared without a trace.

"Senior...... Thank you very much! ”

Jiulang, who was gasping for breath, stabilized his mind a little, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him. Although he still doesn't know the specific identity of the other party, since he is such a powerful figure, it must be an extraordinary reputation. Unexpectedly, the other party just glanced at him lightly, then put away the axe and turned to leave. He muttered something in a low voice as he walked.

"Liezi Yufeng, what have you done all these years? Qianji Pavilion seemed to be becoming more and more useless in his hands...... ”

Jiulang and all the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies listened to it, and felt extremely embarrassed, so they had to bow their heads and bow goodbye. Everyone knew in their hearts that since the other party could casually evaluate the Thousand Machine Pavilion Master in this tone, their relationship must be extraordinary. But he is fully qualified to teach them.

"Jiulangjun, he seems to be the shopkeeper of this Xingyue Tower...... But I didn't expect it to be so powerful! Helped us a lot tonight! ”

Someone whispered in his ear. Kuro nodded, but signaled that there was no need to say more. As someone who has personally trained Liezi Yufeng, he knows a little more than others. At this moment, he has vaguely guessed that the seemingly ordinary shopkeeper Pang is likely to be a great big man, and his mission here should be to protect this Zhaowu Gate.

Now that a large number of strong enemies have retreated, everyone has temporarily relaxed. At the moment, he hurriedly went to the city to report the news, and at the same time rescued the injured with the sergeants guarding the city gates. At the same time, of course, they didn't dare to relax too much, and before King Zhao and the dragoon army did not return, they still needed to be prepared to prevent the enemy from coming back.

The part of the Qin State that entered Dragon City earlier was basically killed after being surrounded and strangled in the middle of the night. These people were not able to wait for follow-up support, and the outcome can be imagined.

When the bloody night faded and finally ushered in the light of day, the column standing on the top of the iron tower resisted the wind, shook off the morning dew on his shoulders, and let out a long breath. Although he couldn't go out and kill in person, he could feel the fierceness of several battlefields inside and outside Dragon City. A faint smile began to appear on his face, and he casually asked the young man who had been guarding under the tower all night.

"Blue Bird, do you want to guard the tower here in the future, or go out to dominate the world?"

The blue bird who received the news for Liezi Yufeng at any time was slightly stunned, although he didn't close his eyes all night, but because of the tension in his heart, he seemed to be very excited. He didn't have time to think about it at the moment, and he quickly replied.

"Of course I'm out fighting! What's the point of guarding this cold tower here? ”

After hearing his answer, Liezi Yufeng didn't seem to be surprised at all. In the morning breeze, he shook his head slightly, the sleeves of his clothes fluttered, and said meaningfully.

"Not necessarily...... In the future, maybe you'll change your mind. ”

The boy stubbornly puffed out his mouth. He didn't believe he would change his mind in the future! The dreams of teenagers are full of surging blood. He has already made up his mind to learn from the person in front of him, and in the near future, he will follow His Royal Highness the Prince to create a career!

"Master Liezi, have the enemies outside really been pacified? There won't be anything going on over there in Jinxiang Palace, right? ”

"The big picture is decided, and there is no need to think about it. Jinxiang Palace, there is no need for Qianji Pavilion to intervene, and someone over there will naturally be able to handle the security! ”

The boy didn't ask any more. The news that had just come back from Zhaowumen had already surprised him. He was now trying to recall that when he followed Chu Jiangmian back to Dragon City, he had eaten once at the Xingyue Tower outside the Zhaowu Gate. But that chubby shopkeeper Pang, the appearance left in his impression, how can it not match the image of a peerless master! How could the restaurant shopkeeper who groveled in front of Chu Jiangmian and was full of flattery be so powerful? He couldn't get an answer even if he wanted to break his head. It was only now that he knew that the reason why Dragon City was called Dragon City was that it was indeed a place where the dragon and the tiger were crouching and the king was thriving!

Liezi Yufeng's prophecy will not be wrong at all. The safety of Jinxiang Palace really doesn't need anyone to worry about. In just two hours before dawn, nearly thirty or forty masters who wanted to come to the raid were killed outside the Jinxiang Palace. These dead spies in the place of enlistment were not even able to get close to the palace wall, so they died silently. When the sword light swept overhead like a soul-hooking lightning, there was no chance to resist or fight back. The people who were hit by the sword didn't even have time to see the faces of the other party, so they fell to the ground and died. All with a single sword, no struggle, no pain.

When the glow stained the glazed tiles of the palace red, Lao Ji jumped on the eaves again, and rinsed the blood stains on the sword little by little with the remaining wine in the wine jar. There was not the slightest smug look on his face. For most of his life, the people he killed tonight were not important. It's just that at a certain moment, watching the blood-stained wine dripping down the cornice, his heart finally became a little unhappy.

"Comfort Wuzi, you guy is a little too much! The Qin State and the Zhao State fought a war, and they had the ability to show it on the battlefield. Now that you have sent these cats and dogs to Dragon City to make trouble, do you really think that no one can help you? If you didn't disturb someone you shouldn't have messed with, you're lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind taking this sword to Feng'an City for a trip......!" ”

Ten years ago, the sword god Jizi, who was famous all over the country, whispered softly on the top of the palace. After drinking the blood, the famous sword of the "cadre" in his hand let out a gentle wind roar. With this sword in hand, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, he has absolute confidence to kill him upside down. It's just that right now, there's no need for that.

In the palace in the depths of Jinxiang Palace, Jiang Xin, the once peerless queen, didn't know what happened last night at the moment. Because, there was a man and a sword, who protected this palace. So it was last night, and it's been like this for ten years!

Jinxiang Palace and Dragon City, with the arrival of dawn, have begun to come alive again. The traces of last night's battle have been processed and covered up as much as possible, and a small number of people who stayed in Dragon City, although they were also disturbed last night, were not serious. Several fires have also been extinguished. Some officials began to count the losses so that they could be compensated. Everything is calm again, and it seems to be in order.

Queen Jiang Xin had also begun to make up under the service of her personal maid, and although she was a little uneasy, she would not show anything unusual easily. But at this moment, whether it was the people in the palace or the people of Dragon City, they definitely didn't expect that the messenger from the Nine Elements Mountain was about to enter Dragon City, and what they brought back would be a shocking bad news!

And what everyone didn't know was that what happened in the Nine Elements Mountain was even more serious than that of Dragon City. Just when a large number of Qin State dead spies outside the Zhaowu Gate retreated, another killing machine on the Nine Elements Mountain suddenly broke out in a sad atmosphere.

King Chu Lie of Zhao died, and all the people inside and outside the hunting ground of Jiuxing Mountain who learned the news cried. Whether it was the Dragoon soldiers or the tens of thousands of people from Dragon City, they didn't believe it was true. Such sad news is so difficult to accept! Yesterday, their king also showed his might, killing the fierce beast with three shocking divine archery skills, how could it be that the news of his death came out after a night!

However, a moment later, the matter was confirmed. All the people who flocked to the outside of the palace knew in their hearts that their king had indeed left forever when they saw the prince Chu Jiangmian, who had changed into a filial piety robe, come out.

"My father has just passed away. He left his last words, and ordered the Dragoon soldiers to immediately protect the people and return to Dragon City...... The rest is arranged by the Minister of State. ”

To everyone's surprise, Chu Jiangmian, who announced the news in person, had neither tears on his face nor too much sadness on his face at the moment. He just calmly said the message left by King Zhao, and then turned around and walked towards the palace.

"Wait! We're going to go in and see the king with our own eyes. ”

Someone behind him shouted. Chu Jiangmian stopped, but did not look back. He raised his arm, and his back looked very gloomy.

"No need. Everything was done according to the instructions of the Prime Minister...... Father's affairs, I will take care of my own affairs. ”

"Your Royal Highness! It is counterintuitive to do so. The king is not your one-man king! He is the king of all the people of Zhao. Moreover, my eldest son Liangsheng and I are still here! Don't we even have the qualifications to see the king for the last time? Hum! ”

Uncle Wang Chu stared at Chu Jiangmian's back angrily, and there was a faint flicker of anger in his eyes. Just now, the old guy of the Minister of State Fei Yi immediately knelt down and called the king, so easy to recognize Chu Jiangmian's status? It just doesn't make sense! He would never agree to it.
