Chapter Thirty-Seven: Embracing Beauty

The Taoist priest's move is urgent and ruthless!

Pei Min's thoughts were all on Li Zhiying, but he didn't want the other party to attack him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When he noticed it, he wanted to dodge but it was too late.

At the moment when the dagger was coming, Pei Min tiptoed lightly, and his body moved back slightly!

The Taoist priest was bound to get a stab, but he couldn't stab it.

When he looked down, he found that his dagger was actually stabbed on the long sword hanging from Pei Min's waist, which reflected this calm judgment......

The Taoist priest couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Although Pei Min avoided this blow with his extraordinary reaction, the power from the Taoist dagger still caused his body to shift two steps to the left. If ordinary people are attacked like this, it is not easy to barely stabilize their bodies. But Pei Min has been practicing dance since he was a child, and the flexibility of his body is up to the woman, and before he can stand still, the sword is already out of the sheath, twisting his body and swinging the sword and stabbing at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest saw Pei Min's sword lightning slashing horizontally, but the sword that stabbed out gave him an irresistible feeling, and his heart was shocked. This person who practices martial arts pays attention to the unity of body and mind. Pei Min was unstable, and he still stabbed such a sharp sword move, which was really incredible.

The Taoist priest remembered his record of continuously defeating all the best players in Guanzhong, and knew that Pei Min's fame was indeed worthy of his name. In this case, the sword stabbed by the opponent is difficult to resist by himself, and the head-to-head confrontation is definitely not his opponent with three or two moves. He was an assassin who missed a single blow and did not want to be entangled, so he retreated and fled.

"Where to go!"

Pei Min stabilized his figure and was about to pursue.

The Taoist priest turned around decisively, and the dagger in his hand flew towards Li Zhiying.

Pei Min saw that the dagger was fast and fast, and it was not difficult to shoot down the flying dagger with his swordsmanship, but his pursuit was blocked, and the Taoist priest must have run out of the Yuzhen Temple and disappeared without a trace. But if he doesn't save it, won't Li Zhiying's life hang by a thread?

In a flash of light, Pei Minyi made a decision, threw the Qin Emperor Sword in his hand at the Taoist priest, retreated sharply, and pulled Li Zhiying in his arms, avoiding the dagger's shot.

The Taoist priest heard the strong wind behind him and hurriedly dodged sideways.

The Qin Emperor Sword brought up a trail of blood and wiped it from the Taoist priest's right arm.

The sudden assassination of the Taoist priest and Pei Min's reaction to fight back were only a few moments.

Ordinary people didn't even react.

The Taoist priest rushed directly into the crowd, and with a burst of pushing, the Taoist priests who were fighting the fire were pushed into chaos and escaped from the Yuzhen Temple.

Pei Min let go of Li Zhiying, and Qin Huangjian didn't care about picking it up, and wanted to chase it. The Taoist priests and the people were in a mess, blocking his way and delaying a little time. When they arrived at the gate of Yuzhenguan, the assassin was nowhere to be seen. At night, I don't know where to chase it. Thinking that it was important to put out the fire, and worried that it would turn the tiger away from the mountain, he turned around and returned to Guanzhong.

Li Zhiying was a little shocked, and this series of shocking changes happened in front of her eyes. It was the first time she had encountered such a thrilling thing when she was so old, but she was a little excited in panic, patted her chest that had not yet taken shape, and said in her heart: "Fortunately, there is him, otherwise I would really have to accompany the ancestor of the Taoist family." Thinking that he was so big, it was the first time he had such intimate contact with a man of the opposite sex, and his pretty face couldn't help but blush a little.

Pei Min picked up the Qin Emperor Sword on the ground, returned to Li Zhiying, and said, "The situation is critical, don't blame the princess!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Zhongcheng is also to save the ...... of the palace" Speaking of this, Li Zhiying frowned and said angrily: "Who is it that is so bold and dares to do something to the palace and Lord Zhongcheng!" ”

Pei Min shook his head inexplicably, glanced at the monstrous fire, and the assassination at night confirmed his thoughts even more.

This fire must have been deliberately set on purpose to create chaos, and what was the purpose?

It's him?

Or Yuzhen Princess Li Zhiying?

It is true that the Taoist priest attacked him first, and it is possible to know his identity, and in that case, only by killing him can he do anything to Li Zhiying...... Otherwise, with his martial arts, if he wants to kill people in front of him, no one can do it.

However, Li Zhiying is still a little girl, harmless to humans and animals.

Who would kill a person of such a noble status if there was no strong purpose?

Thinking of this, Pei Min was eighty percent sure that the other party's target was him: the killer deliberately burned the Jade True Temple, forcing him to appear at night.

Pei's mansion is next door to Yuzhenguan, Yuzhenguan is on fire, as a minister of the court, he sits back and watches the emperor's own sister in danger, and he will not be blamed if he does not show up. As long as he appears, in the face of the chaotic firefighting scene, the killer lurks in the firefighting crowd and secretly looks for an opportunity to assassinate.

This assassination plan is really ingenious.

Pei Min never thought that the other party would burn the Jade Zhenguan for him, this layout is really big, and it is very exquisite. If he hadn't noticed the slightest abnormality in advance, he didn't directly throw himself into the firefighting, and mingled with the firefighters, but was worried about Li Zhiying's safety, I'm afraid he would have suffered a lot at this moment. Even if you are prepared, it is a good shot!

Pei Min walked towards the dagger that shot at the wall, and gently pulled it down, under the reflection of the firelight, the shiny dagger obviously touched a layer of shriveled solid, with gray-black, and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, a faint fishy smell.

Li Zhiying also approached curiously, staring at him with big eyes and strange eyes.

Pei Min said: "This dagger is smeared with poison, and the opponent wants to kill people." ”

Li Zhiying said angrily: "Bastard, I want to tell the imperial brother to let him dismantle the assassin into eight pieces and divide the body of five horses." ”

Pei Min smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, princess, with me, no one will hurt you at all!" ”

Li Zhiying's mind flashed Pei Min's dashing and calm sword before, and said with a smile: "This palace believes in you." She glanced at the growing fire, and was surprised that she was not so afraid.

Fuxingfang is located in Anfumen, only separated by a Yeting Palace, very close to Taiji Palace.

The fire in Yuzhenguan soon reached Li Longji's ears.

Li Longji sent an army to put out the fire, and specially asked Gao Lishi to take 10,000 horsemen to take Li Zhiying back to the palace.

Compared with Wuhou, Fangding, and Jiading, the army is obviously more efficient. Although it could not extinguish the fire, it limited the spread of the fire.

The fire is so strong that it is difficult to extinguish the fire extinguishing hose in this era alone, and it can only limit its spread, and it can no longer burn, and it will die out on its own.

Pei Min saw that the army was coming, and he didn't go to join in the fun, just in time he injured the assassin, and planned to take a look at the surrounding traces. It's just that the sky is too dark, and there are many pedestrians, so there is no way to find it, so I can only give up after turning around.

"Pei Zhongcheng!"

Pei Min returned to Yuzhenguan, and the sharp-eyed Gao Lishi saw his figure first and called out loudly.

"Gao Nei Waiter!" Pei Min went up to say hello.

Gao Lishi said: "Where has Zhongcheng gone, Your Majesty invited Zhongcheng into the palace for questioning!" ”

Pei Min said: "I wanted to look for the thief, but I found nothing." Wait for me to change my clothes, this body is indecent. ”

Gao Lishi pulled him and said, "It's okay, Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon him, and he won't blame him." ”

Pei Min knew that no one in the world knew Li Longji better than Gao Lishi, so he followed.

All the way to the side hall of Taiji Palace, Pei Min heard Li Longji scolding one person from afar.

Under the communication of Gao Lishi, Pei Min walked into the hall and saw a person kneeling on the ground tremblingly, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, it was Shi Fanyu, the governor of Yongzhou who sold his face not long ago.

Thinking about it, Yongzhou Governor Shi's responsibility for public security in Chang'an is "to discipline and discipline public affairs, and to judge Liecao". This Jade Zhenguan caught fire, and the princess of the court was assassinated, which is not a small mistake, it is enough for Fan Yu to eat a pot.

Li Longji sat on the desk, Princess Yuzhen stood on the side, looking at Pei Min who walked in, her face was a little proud, and she didn't want to complain to Li Longji.

"Minister Pei Min greets Your Majesty!"

Pei Min bowed.

Li Longji said: "Jingyuan doesn't need to be polite, I still want to thank you." If you hadn't saved Yuzhen, I would ...... I don't know how to face the emperor! Li Longji attaches great importance to the relationship between brother and sister, and said this, and said to Fan Yu angrily: "It's a fire again, and it's an assassination, I really don't know that the law and order are so unbearable at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”

Pei Min thought about Fan Yu's help and said, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that Fan Changshi cannot be completely blamed for this matter. The fire was too coincidental with the assassination, and the minister suspected that it was a well-planned man-made event, not an accident. ”

"How?" Li Longji's face was even colder, and the accident could be blamed as a careless natural disaster, carefully planned, and even more intolerable.

Pei Min replied: "I asked the Taoist priest who first discovered the fire, and the fire did not spread after it was completely ignited, but first spread and then burned completely. This is only the case if there are combustibles. Ruochen expected to be right, this fire was just a cover. The aim is to create chaos! so that they can do their ......."

Li Longji said in a cold voice: "Who is it, what kind of grudge do you have with Yuzhen with such calculations?" He glanced at Li Zhiying beside him and said, "Who has the tenth sister offended?" ”

"Why!" Li Zhiying said aggrievedly: "The tenth sister listens to the old Taoist priest chanting all day and night, how can she have time to offend people." ”

"This ......" Pei Min said with a little embarrassment: "According to the minister's estimate, the princess is innocently affected, and the target of the assassin should be Weichen." No matter how cunning the assassin was, it was impossible for him to count Princess Yuzhen to appear in the fire. But the minister's mansion is next door to Yuzhenguan, and Yuzhenguan has something to do, involving the princess. It is impossible for the minister to sit idly by, and it will definitely appear. With the martial arts of the minister, it is not easy for the killer assassin to succeed in assassinating the minister. However, at the scene of the firefighting, when people come and go, the minister is attracted by the fire and will reveal the flaws. In fact, the Assassins almost succeeded......"

Li Longji looked at Pei Min deeply, with a little self-blame in his eyes, and sighed: "It's bitter and quiet!" ”

Pei Min said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why did you say this, the small means did not make the climate, but it only affected the princess, and the minister was ashamed in his heart." ”

Li Zhiying said with a smile: "It's good to burn, you don't need to listen to the bearded old Taoist chanting." ”

"Yuzhen!" Li Longji let out a low sigh.

Li Zhiying squinted her eyes and stopped talking.

Li Longji said: "As long as Jingyuan is unharmed, and the hundred Jade True Temples are burned, I will not feel distressed." There is a way that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but for this kind of small night, he can't prevent it. In the future, you don't have to take the lead in this matter. Jingyuan is in danger because of state affairs, and I will investigate it to the end and give you an explanation. ”
