Chapter 465: The Undercurrent Behind It

Xu Rui hurriedly returned to the "broken army", and An Ge, Cao Siyuan and Xiaohu had already greeted him.

"How's it going?"

As soon as he saw the three of them, Xu Rui looked around and asked in a low voice.

Cao Siyuan shook his head: "Except for the two teams of guards at the door, there should be no ambush around. ”

"Where's your side?"

Xu Rui looked at Xiao Hu on the side again.

Xiao Hu said: "There are no masters in ambush within a radius of five miles. ”

Hearing this, Xu Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least today is indeed not a Hongmen banquet, but at the moment, he can't be too careless.

"Get in the car and go!"

Xu Rui greeted and led An Ge and Xiaohu to hurriedly get into the car, while Cao Siyuan jumped on his horse and led the guards to escort the "broken army" to leave quickly.

Inside the "broken army", the atmosphere suddenly became very solemn.

Xiao Hu said: "Uncle Xiao, just now I took the opportunity to secretly explore the surroundings and listened to a few words of your conversation, it seems that the King of Liao is already a little impatient with your swaying left and right in the matter of seizing the heir?" ”

An Ge frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but worry about Xu Rui.

Xu Rui had already broken with the prince before, if he offended the king of Liao again at this time, it would be the big thing in the world, but there would be no place for him.

Xu Rui sneered: "Who said it wasn't?"

The guards who asked me to inspect him were to tell me that he also had insights in the military process, and that as long as there was a stage, he would make a big show and never disappoint the military group.

Later, Shanhechi wanted to tell me that although he was in the court, he had the world in his heart, and he was a man of unparalleled wisdom and destiny, and I could only show what I had learned under his wings.

In addition to forcing me to make a statement, the final landscape painting also reminded me that I had become enemies with the crown prince, and that the other princes were either young or imbecile, and that he was the only choice.

The King of Liao couldn't wait to show me his heart this time, and forced me to express his position, it seems that under the suppression of the Xungui group, he gradually began to be anxious, ready to have a showdown with his opponent.

So he didn't have the patience to let me be a good old man anymore, and I was going around with the mud, going left and right, and taking advantage of the snobbery of each family. ”

"So this trip is so dangerous?"

When An Ge heard this, the worry on his face became even stronger.

Xiao Hu pondered for a moment, frowned, and said: "Actually, what the King of Liao said may not be true, the matter of seizing the heir involves the country, and no one can be alone, you have to stand in line sooner or later, and there may really be no more suitable candidate than him at the moment." ”

Xu Rui sighed: "I don't know this truth, it's just that there is a person who hasn't moved, and I don't dare to stand in line rashly until I see his purpose clearly, maybe ...... He's waiting for my choice? ”

"Who is this person the young master is talking about?"

An Ge asked curiously.

Xu Rui opened his mouth and was about to speak, when Xiaohu's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly looked out the window.

Seeing his expression, Xu Rui's heart that he had just put down rose again.

"What, does the King of Liao still have a backhand?"

Xiaohu frowned and shook his head: "No, it seems that there is a kind of qi, but when I looked closely, I didn't find it, most likely because I was too nervous and made a mistake." ”

Xu Rui nodded and didn't think much about it, he had been paying attention to the situation around him, and with his keen five senses at this time, he didn't find anything suspicious, most likely it was Xiaohu's nervousness.

However, what they didn't know was that about a few hundred meters away, they had to pass by the convoy standing on the treetops and looking at Xu Rui coldly, but they didn't have any intention of making a move.

When the convoy was completely out of his sight, he fell from the treetops and turned to walk out of the woods.

"I thought you would be tempted to do it this time, but I didn't expect that you would lose some guts after all."

At this moment, a man in black suddenly walked out not far behind him and said sarcastically.

The man in black was wearing a flower-faced mask, with blue-faced fangs like a ghost, and he was obviously standing there, but his voice was erratic, like an echo.

When he was about to take a step away from his feet, his eyes did not look towards the flower's face, but instead landed on the rocks in front of him, which were more than one person high.

I saw his right hand into a palm, and with a slight turn of his palm, the dead leaves on the ground suddenly seemed to be swept up by the wind, and when he pushed it forward, the dead leaves slapped towards the rocky stone like a wave.

The sound of "Sen ......" pierced the silent woods, and a sharp blade suddenly broke through the earth, stabbing out from Ye Lang, the blade slammed horizontally, and the two swords suddenly shattered Ye Lang, revealing the figure of Yu Rang, the first assassin of dark chess.

"The ghost is not gone!"

Seeing that the two of them blocked the way one after the other, they didn't have half an expression on their faces, but just muttered in disgust.

Yu Rang sneered: "Say that we are ghostly, but you have followed Xu Rui for half a year, even a fool knows that as long as you hang him, you can find you, what, do you still want to struggle this time?" ”

To squint his eyes slightly, he didn't care about Yu Rang in front of him, but most of his attention fell on the flower face behind him.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the two of you who kept getting in the way, I would have been able to finish what I wanted to do, how could I have wasted more than half a year?"

Hua Mian smiled faintly: "What do you want to do?" ”

To disdain to say: "You are not worthy of asking!" ”

"Oh, really?"

Hua Mian chuckled, his feet moved slightly, and his figure suddenly changed, dragging a string of afterimages, and he was about to leave his side in an instant.

To stare away from his eyes, he left a branch with his right hand and stabbed it fiercely at the flower's face.

This thorn seemed to be unremarkable, but as soon as Fang made a move, it seemed to have a thousand powers, and the sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring appeared out of thin air, and the power was terrifying.

Yu Rang was suddenly shocked: "Be careful, this is the mastery of the Nine Spirit Spear Saint, kill the dragon spear!" ”

Hua Mian sneered, not caring about Yu Rang's reminder at all.

By this time he had reached the top of his head, and he opened his arms like a vicious tiger and swooped downward, the sharp nails of his ten fingers were more than half an inch long, and the palms of his hands were covered with thick calluses, like the claws of beasts.

With a "poof", the beast's claws smashed the branch that was about to leave as a spear, and the strength completely defeated the amazing power of the dragon-killing spear in an instant.

However, this delay has also brought the power of the beast's claws to an end.

To leave the angry shout, he also turned his hands into claws, and grabbed the door of the flower face suddenly, and the action was exactly the same as the flower face.

Seeing that his fingertips were about to touch the mask, suddenly two long knives slashed at the back of his neck, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand and turned around to avoid Yu Rang's fatal blow.

But the flower face also completed the pranayama, and grabbed it on the back.

He was shot a few feet away, and five deep scars appeared on his back.

"Senior brother, it seems that you are still far from becoming a martial saint!"

Hua Mian didn't pursue, but stood still a few feet away, and said lightly.

Yaoli squinted at the two of them and sneered: "If you want to be my senior brother, you are not worthy!" ”

With that, he stomped his foot, and a gust of wind suddenly surged around him, and the wind immediately rolled up thick fallen leaves, and slapped towards the two of them like a storm crashing on the shore.

This time, Ye Lang's momentum was even more amazing, looking from a distance like a tsunami of mountains, which made Yu Rang and Hua's faces, who were in the storm, suddenly show a dignified color.

In Bixia Manor, King Han said with a serious face: "After Xu Rui arrived here, he refused to inspect the guards, indicating that he had no intention of holding the halberd for the seventh brother, and second, he refused to comment on the painting, which means that he did not make up his mind to assist the seventh brother in stepping on the big treasure."

He knew that Seventh Brother would no longer allow him to continue to fight left and right, so he threw out a bait as an expedient measure, so that Seventh Brother temporarily thought that he had promised to submit to you, and then used this to get out.

Xu Rui is playing a trick, because even if this matter is spread, Xu Rui can insist that this is just an ordinary cooperation, and no one will really think that it is his vote for you!

Xu Rui is worthy of great wisdom, and even I was a little puzzled at first, but just think about it, if he has really returned to the seventh brother, why did he insist on refusing to comment on the painting?

In fact, as long as the seventh brother looks back, he can see through Xu Rui's meaning at a glance, and he has no intention of hiding it, just to buy this moment's time. ”

After hearing this, King Liao's face suddenly sank: "So Xu Rui is determined to go against this king?"

Hmph, the competition for the heir is becoming more and more fierce now, this person is too important, if he can't be used by me, I can't keep him, otherwise it will be a hidden danger sooner or later! ”

King Han shook his head: "It's not the time to despair, the succession has reached this point, since Xu Rui is still willing to take out his core interests in exchange for this moment's time, it means that he is still wandering among the princes and has not made up his final decision!" ”

The King of Liao smashed his mouth when he heard this: "I'm surprised, the people in the world who are likely to step on the throne of the great treasure are none other than this king and the prince, he and the prince are so bad, this king is his only choice, what is he still hesitating about?"

Did he really think that the fourth child could succeed? ”

King Han shook his head: "It's hard to say, Xu Rui is as careful as a hair, and he has the world in mind, who can guess his thoughts?" ”

A sense of irritability rose in the heart of the King of Liao, and he waved his hand and said, "Then according to the intention of the ninth brother, how should this king treat him in the future?" ”

King Han pondered for a moment and said four words: "It's worth fighting, you have to guard against it!" ”

When the King of Liao heard this, he gradually fell into deep thought.
