Chapter 116: The Tomb of the Chief
The snow-white marble floor was stained with a dazzling red color in an instant. Lingzhu's eyes widened, his face was surprised, but his heart was extremely frightened.
Twenty years of loyalty, in exchange for a sword through the heart. Just because of a mistake, Princess Changling didn't even say anything about her affection.
Qinghe died, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth before he died.
Lingzhu suddenly felt so cold, cold to the heart.
"Zhu'er, let's go, follow me to see how bold Lu Sheng is to dare to collect Guo Songling's corpse!"
The night in Shanghai is as noisy as ever, and the shops on both sides of the street do not mean to close because of the arrival of night.
In the green building diagonally opposite, there was a clear whisper of Yiyi's singing, the lights were bright and green, flirting and scolding, showing luxury.
Hidden in the darkness behind the hustle and bustle, a pair of eyes kept staring at the Tianshui Inn. In other words, it is the window opening of Lu Sheng's room. Like a pack of hungry wolves that have completed the encirclement.
Lu Sheng gently put down the pen in his hand and raised his head to look at Shen Ling, who was still staring at him.
"Look what I'm doing? Shouldn't you get rid of the hungry wolves outside? I've been staring at us all day with green eyes, their eyes aren't sour, and my heart is hairy. β
"I guess Princess Changling must be very angry right now, and it's likely that she's on her way here. However, I don't see the slightest nervousness on your face. Are you confident or ......"
"Huh?" Lu Sheng suddenly stared at Shen Ling with surprised eyes, "Hey, didn't you tell me that before I went to collect the corpse, you said that Princess Changling had you to deal with it?"
"Did I say that?" Shen Ling once again showed that sloppy smile.
Lu Sheng silently stretched out his hand, and his palm tightly grasped the hilt of the sword. A chilling sword intent buzzed out from above the cold iron sword.
Shen Ling hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed Lu Sheng, "Brother Lu, just kidding, don't be impulsive." β
"Brother Qingshan, you know I'm not good at joking, in this situation, I just want to dismantle you bastard. β
"Don't be impulsive, you've been here for the night. Did you find any clues?"
"In the past three months, there were 500 ships entering and leaving the port of Shanghai, of which half were occupied by the Marquis of Ningguo, one percent by Tianquan Villa, and the remaining four by major commercial banks.
And the only one who can silently transport three million taels of silver into Shanghai is the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion. The caravan of Tianquan Villa did not enter the Shanghai Mansion after getting on the dock, so they were also suspicious.
Nowadays, there are two lines to track down the official bank, one is the fisherman. Judging from the assassination the day before yesterday, in addition to Chongming Island and Yanluo Island, there are also people from the fisherman clan alive. And since this group of people dared to assassinate Princess Changling, their martial arts were not low.
The other line is to inspect Princess Changling's ashore cargo ships to find out what they are carrying. β
"Are you still suspicious of Princess Changling?"
"The value of Princess Changling's goods is worth hundreds of thousands of taels, and I suspect that it is not Princess Changling herself, but will the robbers borrow Princess Changling's caravan to transport the official silver in?
"It is indeed the greatest possibility, Xie Tianci seems to be very short of money over the years, and the amount of military pay is getting bigger and bigger. However, it was not so easy for Xie Tianci to transport the official silver through Princess Changling's caravan.
As far as I know, most of Princess Changling's business is done by herself, and if she wants to reach out, she is guaranteed to break her leg. Therefore, the Lord of Lingzhu has become a key person. β
"Lord Lingzhu?" Lu Sheng put this person in his heart for the first time. Judging from the past impressions, the Lord of Lingzhu seems to be just carefree, no different from other rich daughters.
"Yes, the Lord of Lingzhu is the most trusted person of Princess Changling, and a lot of Princess Changling's business is commanded by the Lord of Lingzhu County by remote control. β
Suddenly, the street outside the window was eerily noisy. Lu Sheng and Shen Ling paused in unison, pushed open the window and looked out.
A long Lingwei quickly came to the outside of the Tianshui Inn, and firmly blocked the front and back of the Tianshui Inn.
"It seems that Princess Changling doesn't plan to give up. β
After Changlingwei blocked the inn, he quickly pushed around. Soon, the entire street was emptied by Changlingwei, and the originally noisy street suddenly became a dead silence.
Lu Sheng stood at the window, looked around, and among the layers of eaves, there was a hidden breath of nothingness. They seem to be waiting for an opportunity, but they are watching from the sidelines.
Changlingwei blocked the streets, but did not immediately attack the Tianshui Inn. They stood still as if they were stone statues.
"Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap......"
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and at the end of the deep road, two white horses with no snow white color pulled the carriage slowly from the night.
The carriage is snow-white, and the octagonal eaves are carved from ivory. On the four corners, there are four bells made of gold. As the carriage moved, the bells emitted bursts of notes like wind chimes.
In front of the carriage sat the Lord of Lingzhu, playfully shaking the horse whip in his hand. can let the lord of Lingzhu drive the car, don't think much about who is sitting in the car.
"When the people come, let me go down. Shen Ling smiled faintly and said softly.
"Can you handle it?" Lu Sheng asked with some concern.
"She didn't dare to kill me, at most she beat me up. The old man and Princess Changling have the same friendship, even if they beat me, it won't hurt very much. β
"I'll go with you!" Lu Sheng couldn't stand his friend's posture of carrying it for you. Although it was indeed Shen Ling who asked him to collect the corpse, Princess Changling came for herself after all.
"Forget it, she's not as polite to you as I am. β
"Then it also depends on whether she has the ability to be polite. β
Lu Sheng's tone was very conceited, and his waist at that moment was also very straight. After obtaining the Nine Yin True Scripture, the Nine Yin and Nine Yang are endlessly alive in the body. The realm of martial arts is also a change every day.
If Lu Sheng was not sure about taking the sword of the Lingzhu County Lord before, then at this moment, he wanted to ask the Lingzhu County Lord if he could take his own sword.
When martial arts reach the innate level, the subversion of strength and weakness will be unusually fast. Maybe a comprehension of a thought will leave the opponent who was originally equal far behind.
The car door opened, and a pair of jade hands slowly stretched out the door. Princess Changling stepped on the back of a Changling guard and slowly got out of the car.
When Princess Changling looked at the Tianshui Inn, the door of the inn slowly opened at that moment.
Lu Sheng and Shen Ling walked side by side, came to the bottom of the steps and bowed slightly to Princess Changling, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
"Shen Ling, who in the entire Jiangnan doesn't know that Guo Songling and I have a grudge against my son. Who doesn't know in the whole Jiangnan, I can't wait to cut Guo Songling with a thousand knives.
I said that I would hang him at the east gate and expose him to the sun for ten days, ten days, not a single day. Anyone who dares to collect Guo Songling's body will be beheaded by this palace. It's only the first day, and you've had the body collected...... Are you slapping Hongu in the face?"
"Princess, since Guo Songling is acting with those assassins of the Fisherman Clan, he must have something to do with the Fisherman Clan's case. And Lu Sheng has already deduced that the robbers who hijacked the official silver have a great connection with the fishermen.
I asked Lu Sheng to collect the body, also to investigate the theft of official silver. Moreover, Guo Songling also has a great connection with the pirates who have been entrenched in the East China Sea in recent years. Such an important clue, you can't let the princess destroy the ...... with such anger"
"This palace doesn't want to hear this!" Princess Changling interrupted Shen Ling's words with a snort, "This palace only knows that you took away Guo Songling's corpse, and it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
"Whew-"
A sword is cold, and the sword is drawn like a dragon.
Princess Changling suddenly took out her sword, which was so fast that everyone couldn't react.
And in the next moment, the long sword stabbed straight into Lu Sheng's throat. In an instant, as if time was frozen, the lights in front of him gradually faded away, and in front of Lu Sheng's eyes, only this gorgeous and brilliant sword light remained.
The killing intent of this sword was so fierce, it was even more resolute than the previous sword that stabbed at Monk Miaoyuan.
When everyone was shocked by the sharpness of this sword, Lu Sheng only wanted to scold his mother in his heart at the moment. Why are you so wronged that you have a debtor and a master, why don't you stab me if you don't look for Shen Ling?
Moreover, the sword intent of this sword is extremely firm, and the purpose is also extremely clear. Princess Changling doesn't want to scare people, but really ...... Punish someone as a warning to others.
The sword, in an instant.
"Humβ"
In an instant, a buzz rang out.
A brilliant sword light suddenly exploded from Lu Sheng's hand, as dazzling as a firework that suddenly exploded.
The cold iron sword was unsheathed, and the chilling sword qi instantly froze the surrounding air. The major martial arts masters hidden in the shadows gasped and forgot to breathe almost at the same time.
"Dingβ"
Lu Sheng's figure moved, as if he had crossed time and space, and passed by Princess Changling.
At the moment when the sword light staggered, countless sword qi like a fish and dragon dance shot out in all directions.
The few Changling guards closest to Princess Changling couldn't even dodge and were killed on the spot by the raging sword qi. What's more, above the continuous roof, there was the sound of several unlucky eggs rolling down.
Withdraw!
Everyone present retreated sharply, and even Shen Ling could only retreat sharply.
Princess Changling didn't expect that a sword didn't work, and she didn't expect Lu Sheng's martial arts to be so high. But Princess Changling didn't mean to stop there, her figure suddenly drifted, and three figures were painted in an instant.
Each figure is performing a different set of swordsmanship, and the sword energy of each figure is as gorgeous as the sun, moon and stars.
If you want to say that compared to others, Lu Sheng may not be able to win, but if you want to say that you are better than a sword, Lu Sheng is confident that he is definitely more sword than Princess Changling!
The nine yin and nine yang powers in the body operate, and the transformation of yin and yang is spontaneous under the operation of the great shift of the universe. Under the blessing of the martial arts realm, Lu Sheng's swordsmanship turned decay into magic.
The sword is either heavy, light, dangerous, or changeable. Every time Lu Sheng made a sword, it was very different from the previous sword. In Princess Changling's opinion, each of his swords was a completely different set of swordsmanship.
The move is afraid of being old, because once it is repeated, it will be caught flawed. And Lu Sheng's swordsmanship is continuous but just right.
It can be achieved by waving the sword between the swings of the hand, and only the famous people who have been immersed in the way of the sword for decades or even hundreds of years can achieve it. But Lu Sheng, at best, has only twenty years of cultivation.
Princess Changling has no advantage in terms of skill, and now she doesn't even have an advantage in her moves. After only fifty moves, Princess Changling understood that this time the chicken was afraid that she would not be able to kill it. I want to talk about "Heavenly Punishment Order" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
