Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning
The sky was gray, it rained intermittently last night, but it was naturally outside, but Li Tang's Praetorian Guards were a lot more.
Lu Bu stood by the window, looking at the Praetorian Guards who exuded a murderous aura, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull up a sneer, is this Li Shimin demonstrating to him?
These Praetorian Guards, although they can be regarded as elite, but Mo said that to Lu Bu, it is these people around Lu Bu, unless the Praetorian Guards gather tens of thousands of people, there is no threat, the reason why they do this is just to demonstrate to Lu Bu, and at the same time to tell the world that Li Shimin is not afraid of Lu Bu.
"Does this mean that Li Shimin is scared?" Song Shidao stood beside Lu Bu, looking at the majestic Praetorian Guards below, and couldn't help but smile.
Lu Bu shook his head, in this world, there is no place where Lu Bu can't go, although Li Shimin is cowering in the palace, but Lu Bu wants to kill him, no matter how strict Li Shimin is, it is useless to hide it strictly, but once Li Shimin is killed, no matter who wants to succeed to the throne, Lu Bu will be the first-class land, and now the two Spirit Emperors are intersecting, once Li Shimin is killed, it is not Li Tang who suffers first, but Luoyang.
"Lord Wang, everything is ready." A man wrapped in black tights, after Dan Mei led him to Lu Bu and Song Shidao, this person was the leader of the dead soldiers arranged by Xuxing in Chang'an City, a first-class martial artist, and his entire body, even the same appearance, was hidden under the black clothes.
"Good." Lu Bu nodded, turned his head to look at Danmei.
"The Holy Gate is ready too," Dan Mei said, bowing.
"Out." Lu Bu glanced at Song Shidao, but saw that Song Shidao also nodded, and Song Valve also sent a master to accompany Song Shidao this time to help Lu Bu.
A group of five people, Shi Shiran, under the leadership of Lu Bu, walked in the direction of the Yuema Bridge, today, is the time to open the treasure house, and it is also the time when the storm swept Chang'an.
The news of Lu Bu's trip to the Yuema Bridge reached the ears of every force in Chang'an City through different channels, and Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, the Goryeo envoys, the Turkic envoys, and the masters of the Demon Gate got the news almost at the same time.
The moment "Crescent" received the news, Li Shimin looked at Xinyue.
"Your Majesty." Xinyue looked at Li Shimin suspiciously, not knowing why Li Shimin suddenly called her.
"Lu Bu has already acted, and you still need your help in this matter." Li Shimin looked at the crescent moon and said.
"Your Majesty rest assured." Xinyue's expression froze, and she said in a deep voice.
In the palace of King Qi, Li Yuanji also received the news at the same time, but Li Yuanji was not in a hurry at this time, Bai Qing'er looked at Li Yuanji with a light smile and said: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, this matter is related to my Holy Gate Relic, but the master did not appear, doesn't Your Highness feel a little abnormal?" ”
"You mean......" Li Yuanji looked at Bai Qing'er, but Bai Qing'er smiled and said: "Qing'er didn't say anything, it's just that when Master Zhu appeared, it was the real moment to seize the treasure, and besides, I'm afraid that the masters of all parties have already gotten the news, why should Your Highness be in a hurry?" ”
In the mansion of the Goryeo envoy, Kim Seung-hee, who was dressed in a strong suit, held a big gun, looked at the Goryeo samurai who were ready to go, and said in a deep voice: "Out"
There were hundreds of Goryeo masters who shouted in unison at the same time, followed Jinshengxi, and walked towards the direction of the Prancing Horse Bridge like a tide.
The people of Chang'an City, can clearly feel a stormy atmosphere, looking at the street appeared a team of Praetorian Guards, very consciously returned to the room, for a while, Chang'an City became extremely depressed, only a team of Praetorian Guards and unknown people concentrated in the direction of the Yuema Bridge.
In the Vermilion Bird Street, the prosperity is still the same, and on the edge of this street, there will be a lot of Confucian students who sell calligraphy and paintings for a living in the past, but now Chang'an City suddenly has a feeling that a war is coming, and it has become extremely depressed.
But at this time, there is a middle-aged scholar who is still setting up a stall here, on the lonely street, there is only one vendor, it looks a little weird, the scholar is dressed in a gray robe, hazy eyes with a little sleepiness, this fortune teller scholar does not want other fortune tellers to hold the psychic like that, but quietly holds a copy of "Zhou Yi" and looks at it, looking focused, there is a flag on the stall, and there is a word "Yi" on it.
Written in seal, it is very beautifully written, and there is a very mysterious feeling when you look at it carefully, but you can't say it.
The scholar's business was not good, and there were only a few guests in the morning, and at noon a young man dressed in a splendid dress came in a graceful manner, and the young man opened the folding fan, sat down, and said, "Master"
The middle-aged scholar raised his sleepy eyes, and a soft look overflowed on his bookish face, which was very peaceful and warm, just like a loving father's smile, "Xibai is here"
The middle-aged scholar replied again: "I've been sleeping for the teacher for a long time, and it's hard to come out to bask in the sun."
If you tell others that this middle-aged man is the big devil in the mouth of the rivers and lakes, the evil king who is afraid of good and evil, I think many people don't believe it, he smiled slightly bitterly, others may not know the meaning of the man's words, but Hou Xibai knows that he is Shi Zhixuan's personality who has just woken up.
Back then, Shi Zhixuan's mind was traumatized, his personality was split into two, and each went to extremes, but it was a bit like Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan who went to extremes, and now this is Shi Zhixuan's peaceful personality.
"Lu Bu has already left, in Chang'an City, people from all sides have moved, I'm afraid Chang'an will be chaotic." This is Hou Xibai's second sentence.
Shi Zhixuan's body shook slightly, and when he looked at Hou Xibai's eyes, a flash of essence flashed, Hou Xibai smiled bitterly, the holy land relics are probably the only thing that can affect the man in front of him now.
"Is there any news of the aftermath?" Shi Zhixuan asked, he came to Chang'an, as long as Zhu Yuyan was there, it was impossible not to know, with Shi Zhixuan's understanding of Zhu Yuyan, I am afraid that Zhu Yuyan would find him during this time, but the strange thing is that he has been setting up a stall here for a while, but he has not even found Zhu Yuyan's shadow.
"Nope." Hou Xibai shook his head, he was also very curious, why there was no news of Zhu Yuyan.
Shi Zhixuan nodded, then leaned back in the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked like he was about to sleep.
"Master, aren't we going?" Hou Xibai looked at Shi Zhixuan and asked in surprise.
"What are you going to do?" Shi Zhixuan said indifferently.
"Uh......" Hou Xibai was stunned, a little speechless.
"Since the queen has not appeared until now, there is only one possibility, that is, the holy relics have been taken away by her, Lu Bu's trip is just to cover people's eyes, if my expectations are good, I am afraid that Yang Gong's treasure house is empty at this time, and only those fools will believe it." Shi Zhixuan said lightly.
Shi Zhixuan's words also included his disciple, Yang Xuyan, Yang Xuyan, as an assassin, should have gotten the news earlier than Hou Xibai, but now that Hou Xibai is here, Yang Xuyan has not appeared, either he was killed, or Yang Xuyan himself was greedy for the holy relics.
In this Chang'an City, if Lu Bu and Shi Zhixuan don't make a move, who can kill the shadow assassin? The results speak for themselves.
"Master, should we inform the others?" Hou Xibai was also shocked into a cold sweat at this time, and now, he could think with his toes that Lu Bu had led all kinds of people over at this time, and his purpose was to cover the real treasure and transport it away, and I am afraid that he would not have good intentions towards these people.
"Let's not say whether these people will believe it or not, why should I tell them?" Shi Zhixuan looked at the vast sky indifferently: "What does the life and death of these people have to do with me?" ”
……
"Then Lu Bu is too arrogant, he even openly came to open Yang Gong's treasure house, I don't know if he can still get away with being besieged by so many people?" The girl said in a sweet voice with a cardamom age, and there was a sense of schadenfreude in her tone.
"Be careful, then Lu Bu's strength, even Ning Zhenren is helpless." The new moon in plain clothes has a kind of chic dust on her body, as if it is a world of three thousand, and the troubles of three thousand are not touched at all: "And soon the demon gate will have a move, we must be in front of them, and we must not let the evil emperor relics fall into the hands of these demons" At this time, Xinyue was a little more like Fan Qinghui.
"This time will be the biggest test for me in meditation"
The girl pursed her lips and said, "How can Senior Sister grow up with other people's ambition to destroy her own prestige, I wonder when we Jingzhai have been afraid of the evil demons of their Demon Gate?" The so-called evil can't defeat the right, and the senior sister doesn't need to worry" seemed to feel that she lacked the strength of what she said, and said: "It's like when Xiuxin Shibo was martyred, when the demon gate supported Yang Guang, and once put us in an extremely unfavorable situation, the world was almost destroyed in the hands of these demons, and in the end, our Jingzhai was not defeated into victory?" ”
She said triumphantly: "So, senior sister, you are just worrying about the sky for nothing."
"Okay, now that the Dao Demon Elimination is long, the master and nephew of the head are just letting us act in our hearts." An old voice sounded, and behind Xinyue, a middle-aged Taoist aunt appeared at some point, and glanced at the girl with some reproach.
This Dao Gu is the Dharma Protector Elder of Cihang Jingzhai, and as soon as she appeared, the girl immediately deflated and stopped talking.
"Xinyue, you are now the lord of Jingzhai, you have the expectations of the world, you must learn to decide, don't be disturbed by any factors, although the demon gate is now powerful, but there is internal discord, I Jingzhai is not without a chance to turn over." The middle-aged Dao aunt looked at the new moon lovingly, and said with a kind face.
"Yes, the new moon will be remembered." Crescent Moon bowed and nodded.
The sky is a little gloomy, although it is daytime, but the entire Chang'an City is shrouded in a layer of shadows, the wind occasionally blows in the air, with a little chill, the whole Chang'an City, today is extremely depressed, on the street, except for the occasional Praetorian Guard, there is hardly a living person, if it is not for the occasional stray wild dog out of a few dog barks, it will almost make people think that this is a dead city.
Footsteps can be heard occasionally on the quiet streets, and they are quite neat, which are the footsteps of the Chang'an Praetorian Guard. Dressed in black armor and boots made of buffalo leather, these Praetorian Guards were not many, but only more than twenty people, holding the bright blades in their hands, and their eyes roamed around.
The area around the Prancing Horse Bridge was originally a prosperous area of Chang'an City, but now it seems unusually quiet, a woman and three men, three cold corpses are lying on the Prancing Horse Bridge, Lu Bu casually shook off the blood beads on the sword, glanced coldly at the four corpses that had not cooled down, and sneered: "Something that is beyond your strength." ”
Wan Wan glanced at the four corpses with some complexity, and said softly: "The reputation of the Holy Extreme Sect is so loud, but I don't want the heirs to be so unbearable. "The four people in front of him are the four evil evils in the Demon Gate, with a loud reputation
I have already had the experience of entering the treasure house once, and I entered it again at this time, but I am familiar with it, and with a soft 'click' of the machine, the whole bridge suddenly trembled slightly, and it took a long time to stand still, if it were not for a few people's keen perception, I am afraid that they would not be able to appear.
Behind him, hundreds of black-clothed dead soldiers showed nervous expressions, Lu Bu stabbed them, and did not tell them the real news, even Danmei and Song Shidao did not know the truth, one by one showed a wary look on their faces, looking around, they could all feel that Chang'an City is different today, and after a while, it is inevitable that there will be a bitter battle, but these dead soldiers have already had the consciousness of death when they were sent to Chang'an, and their eyes are full of a kind of perseverance to die.
Strange ripples appeared on the surface of the river at the bottom of the bridge, indicating strange changes in the riverbed, and bubbles bubbling up.
"Let's go" Lu Bu glanced around, his spirit was shrouded in a distance of a hundred feet, although there seemed to be silence and no one around, he could sense that there were at least hundreds of pairs of eyes staring here, the reason why he didn't move was just to wait for Lu Bu to find out the entrance to Yang Gong's treasure house.
The hooves of the horses roared, the hooves of a large group of horses rang out, shaking the roar of the entire Chang'an Avenue, and the people who woke up in the dream opened a window to see a group of Praetorian Guards riding high-headed horses in the hazy night, wearing black armor, and rushing towards the Prancing Horse Bridge.
The sound of hooves shattered the momentary silence and stepped through the delicate situation.
In the distance, the sound of earth-shattering hooves could be heard, Lu Bu looked at the direction where the hoofs came from, and sneered, has it finally begun?
Immediately, he led everyone into the entrance of Yang Gong's treasure house, and at the same time, after they disappeared, in the night, one after another people rushed out of the dark night, tacitly without making any sound, and walked towards Yang Gong's treasure house, and some people quickly returned to report the movement of Yang Gong's treasure house.
In the dim and narrow hole, from time to time, you can hear bursts of screams, these people from all forces, in order to make themselves in a short battle, can have fewer strong enemies, have begun to secretly attack to reduce the enemy.
The smell of blood began to fill the entire underground treasury with the air, and all this was just the beginning.
