The night was thick, infecting the heavens and the earth, obscuring the already unbright waning moon even more difficult to see, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear and audible in the silent street. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Suddenly, Liu Xi, who was in the carriage with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly, and at the same time, the carriage also stopped.

"Yusheng, don't make a move, so as not to be overexposed."

He whispered, and the sleeves of Xiao Wu's coat that drove him flicked over, and the extremely sharp green steel sword flew out and floated in front of him, making a clanging sound.

There is no end in sight to the deserted streets.

The carriage stopped, and the green steel sword hung in the air.

The silence of the four nights made the breathing sound feel unusually harsh.

In a short time, many swarthy figures came out of the alleys of the houses on both sides, like ghosts, and the long sword in their hands, the body of which was stained with green liquid, dripped onto the masonry as it moved.

Under the green smoke, the masonry is hollowed out.

The green liquid on the sword's body was a deadly poison that sealed the throat with blood.

After these people appeared, Xiao Wu's green steel sword also moved, and in the night, it turned into a shock, like a silver needle entering the brocade, shuttling freely.

is obviously killing, but it has an indifferent artistic conception of flowing water, as if lifting a cup and drinking a sip of herbal tea, or sitting in front of the courtyard and watching the clouds rolling in the sky, in addition to being quiet and indifferent, it is actually a little bit of killing and blood.

Inside the carriage, Liu Xi was still sitting quietly, most of these assassins were Qi Emperors, and the most powerful was only the initial realm of Dacheng, and when he met Xiao Wu, who was cultivated by the grandmaster, he had no other choice but to wait for death.

So Liu Xi was not worried about the fight outside the car, what made him frown and unhappy was that someone took his life so soon.

Although Liu Xi knew that this trip was dangerous and abnormal when he came to Chang'an City, on the first day of entering the city, someone sent a killer urgently, how could Liu Xi not be annoyed.

It's just annoyed that people are annoyed, people are under the eaves, they always have to bow their heads, some hatred, keep it in their hearts, and one day, they will double it back.

Thinking of the mastermind behind the scenes, Liu Xi first thought of Liu Si, but quickly vetoed it. Although he hated Liu Si to the bone, the other party, as the king of a country, would not be so immeasurable.

What's more, Liu Si was so proud that he had already regarded Li Tang as something in his pocket, so he even disdained to send someone to assassinate a small Li Tang soldier.

Thinking about it this time, there is only Liu Feng, the prince of Liu Han who hides a knife in his smile, and Liu Fu, the second prince who has made trouble with him several times.

If it is really these two people, Liu Xi's anger can be eliminated by most of it, and it can be seen that both of them are not enough to compare with Liu Si, and it can be said that his revenge in the future is a good thing.

However, the most terrifying thing is that this assassination was not committed by Liu Han's royal family.

After all, there are many forces hidden in Chang'an City, if this is really the case, Liu Xike will find it difficult to figure out what is going on for a while, and only by secretly reminding himself to be cautious can he retreat in this Chang'an City full of murderous intent step by step.

While Liu Xi was thinking, the fighting outside the car gradually stopped, Xiao Wu was a master at the grandmaster level after all, and he had already solved the assassin completely without even leaving the carriage half a step away.

But just as Xiao Wu was about to put away his sword and continue to drive the car, a crossbow arrow came into the air and rushed towards Xiao Wu's face door on the carriage.

", who told you to do it."

On the eaves of the southwest of the carriage, the man in black who had reported to the second prince Liu Fu before glared fiercely at the people next to him, just now at that scene, he was already scared and weak, originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill people and blame the crown prince Liu Feng in order to invite credit in front of the second prince Liu Fu, but now he only hopes that the killing god who drove the car will leave quickly, so as to save a life.

No matter how much silver you have, if you don't have the life to spend it, what's the use of earning it?

Seeing that the other party took the sword and was about to leave, but the damn man beside him was so weak that a crossbow arrow shot out, and at this moment, the man in black only felt that his scalp was numb.

But before the numbness dissipated, a cold light flashed, and the man in black didn't even have a chance to scream, and the person was like a soft shrimp, falling straight down to the brick and stone street washed by the moonlight.

The shadow of the sword rises and falls, and under the night wind, there are no more assassins.

After wiping the blood stains on the sword, Xiao Wu put the green steel sword into his sleeve, returned to the side of the black horse with a loud nose, and whispered to Liu Xi in the car, "Yusheng, everything has been solved." ”

Lifting the curtain, Liu Xi glanced at the surroundings that were swallowed by the night, the smell of blood had already dispersed, and his brows furrowed more and more, "This move, I'm afraid that someone in Chang'an City is going to be upset, but it's hard for you." ”

Xiao Wu is the realm of a grandmaster, and with that movement just now, I am afraid that many people who secretly observed Liu Xi already knew that there were people from the military family around him.

In Chang'an City, where the forces of all parties are intricate, Liu Xi doesn't know whether this is good or bad, but this will at least give some people some deterrence.

It's just that it may bring unnecessary danger to Xiao Wu.

As if he saw what Liu Xi was thinking, Xiao Wu replied, "Don't worry, I will act carefully." ”

After saying this, Xiao Wu glanced at the corpses around him, "What should I do now?" Do you want me to find someone to investigate privately? ”

Twenty years ago, the military family changed dramatically and withdrew from Liu Han, but as the imperial capital of this Liu Han, there are still disciples of the military family.

Nodding, Liu Xi lowered the curtain, "When I go back, let's talk about it after discussing it with the present dynasty." ”

Back at the residence, Ma Xiu, Tian Xun'er and even Li Mengxiao, who were still waiting anxiously, never rested, and when they saw Liu Xi and the others coming back, they put down their hanging hearts.

Liu Xi said a few words to Li Mengxiao to reassure her that she didn't need to worry, but the latter nodded silently, and then went back to the room.

Xue Jiang told Liu Xi about Li Mengxiao's physical condition, and the pills she had taken before had begun to work, but because Li Mengxiao's body bones were much weaker than before, she was afraid that the pills would damage Li Mengxiao's body.

Hearing this, Liu Xi's brows couldn't help but furrow again, for what Xue Jiang said, he had no good way, so he could only entrust her to take care of Li Mengxiao's body.

After Xue Jiang left, Tian Xun'er sent tea, and went to accompany Xiao Ling'er, who was already asleep, Ma Xiu, who was shaking the Qiankun fan, was about to go back to the room, but was stopped by Liu Xi.

"Yusheng, did something happen?"

Xiao Wu, who took a sip of tea, replied, "When we came back, we met the assassin. ”

When Ma Xiu was frightened, Liu Xi added, "The assassins are two groups of people." ”

This time, the laughter on Ma Xiu's face disappeared completely, and he sat down very seriously, lowered his voice and asked again, "Do you know who is doing it?" ”

Liu Xi shook his head, "It's not clear for the time being, so I want you to send someone to inquire, and there is news that you also need to release." ”

"What's the news?"

"Tonight, Prince Liu Han and the second prince teamed up to assassinate Li Tang's envoys."

Seeing that Ma Xiu didn't understand, Liu Xi told him what he had heard in the palace before, so the biggest objects of suspicion were the crown prince Liu Feng and the second prince Liu Fu.

Of course, he had other reasons, even if the assassination was not done by those two people, such a rumor spread in the market was extremely beneficial to Liu Xi.

Liu Si is tough by nature, although he looks down on Li Tang, but as long as he doesn't speak, Liu Feng and Liu Fu will privately send someone to ask for Liu Xi's life, this is undoubtedly a small abacus behind Liu Si's back, and Liu Si, who can't tolerate others to disobey in his life, must be angry.

Moreover, Princess Lan Jin came to see the entire people of Chang'an, and the superiority of these ordinary people has undoubtedly been greatly improved, and they already have the sense of being a big country and the people, and the news of tonight's events will definitely make these people who claim to accept the influence of orthodox Confucian etiquette and religion dissatisfied.

When the time comes, gossip will fill the entire Chang'an City like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.

Liu Xi doesn't care about the sympathy of others, but when something changes in the mouths of the people, the person who acts in the shadows may no longer ask him for trouble.

Although Liu Si respects Confucianism, he is not exclusive to other sects, it seems that he is very confident in himself, and feels that he can make a hundred schools of thought use for him, so there is no shortage of miscellaneous disciples in Chang'an City, and Ma Xiu also patted his chest to ensure that early tomorrow morning, the scene that Liu Xi wants to see will definitely appear in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

After saying this, Liu Xi remembered the wooden box he placed on the table, and after opening it, a faint aroma came, and there were really four treasures of the study inside.

It's just that the four treasures of the study are exquisite and simple, and they are obviously not ordinary things.

"Yusheng, there's something here."

Ma Xiu, who was staring at the box, suddenly put down the Qiankun fan, and gently patted it at the carved place of the wooden box, and a small green note fell.

The strange green note, like the leaves of ancient trees, reminded Liu Xi of the dancing posture he had seen before.

This Yuyao County Lord is also a person who understands a lot of taste.

On the green note, the small red letters are delicate and lovely.

"Tomorrow, Xiaoxiang Tower."

Seeing this, Liu Xi naturally understood, this Yuyao County Lord was asking him to meet, but it was this that made him more and more incomprehensible.

Liu Xi has never met with this Yuyao County Lord, why does the other party want to meet him so secretly?

After thinking for a while, and without a clue, Liu Xi glanced at Ma Xiu and asked casually, "Today, do you know this Liu Han's Yuyao County Lord?" ”

"Sure enough, it's her, or who else in the world will use green notes and red letters?"

It seems to be asking the right person.

"The county lord of Yuyao likes to write in red letters on green note, once she wrote a poem on the green note can make the talents of the entire Chang'an City sensational, but the most powerful thing about the county lord of Yuyao is not talent, but she can be described as the dance posture of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and her dancing attainments are really the pinnacle of attainments. Although it is difficult to break the realm of void, there are not a few cultivators who have reached the realm of breaking the void from ancient times to the present, and the dance posture of the county lord of Yuyao is the first person in the past and present, and no one can match it......

Ma Xiu shook the Qiankun fan while talking endlessly, thinking that at the beginning of the rise, he still shook his head from time to time.

Seeing this, Liu Xi couldn't help but interrupt him with a wry smile, "Today, I want to know how she came to be the county lord, the county lord of Yuyao is surnamed Mu, and Liu Han did not divide the king with a different surname when Liu Si was in power, so I don't understand." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu's voice stopped abruptly, put away the Qiankun fan, glanced at Xiao Wu, and pouted for a long time before he said slowly, "Now the general in Chang'an City is surnamed Mu, and the Xiao Wu brothers may have heard his name, Mu Yi." ”

When the words fell, Xiao Wu, who was pouring the tea, suddenly shook his hand, and the tea fell on the wooden table, splashing a drop of water.
