On the busiest street in the imperial capital, a carriage marked with the royal coat of arms headed in the direction of the imperial palace. Because it was approaching the New Year, the streets were full of people, so the speed of the carriage was not very fast.

"How long will it take to get to the palace?" a voice came from inside the carriage.

"It's coming soon, Your Highness. The soldier driving the carriage said.

"Yes, I see. ”

The carriage slowly drove forward, and the people on both sides of the street did not rush to avoid it because it was the royal carriage passing by, and on the teahouse not far in front of the carriage, a figure was watching the carriage.

Just as the carriage passed by the teahouse, a figure jumped out of the teahouse like lightning, and the bright sword stabbed towards the carriage.

"Boom~" The moment the long sword came into contact with the carriage, the carriage burst open from the inside out, and a white figure rushed out of the carriage with a young man in his arms.

"What kind of person, in broad daylight, dare to assassinate the Eighth Prince!" After the man in white put the Eighth Prince down, his momentum suddenly exploded, and his long sword came out of its sheath and killed towards the figure. When the surrounding pedestrians burst out in white, they felt as if their bodies were buried in the mud, and they couldn't move, so they could only watch the fight on the field.

After the man in white made contact with the figure, he exchanged a few moves and shook the figure out with one palm. After the figure landed, he was about to kill the Eighth Prince, but he saw a group of city guards walking towards here, and knew that he couldn't do anything, so he turned around and looked in one direction and fled quickly.

"You leave a few people to protect the Eighth Prince, and the rest will chase after me!" the man in white commanded, turning and chasing in the direction where the figure had fled.

When the city guards who had just arrived heard about the young Eighth Prince, they hurriedly sent someone to protect the Eighth Prince in the middle, and a man who looked like a captain followed the rest of the people behind the man in white and chased forward.

The figure flickered a few times and leaped into a compound. The man in white came to the gate of the compound and wanted to enter, but was blocked by the person at the door.

"Hmph, I'm chasing the assassin who assassinated the Eighth Prince, get out of here, or die!" said the man in white.

"We don't have the assassin you're looking for. A group of soldiers quickly surrounded the man, and the city guards came behind the man in white.

"Lord Ji, and this adult, you wait a minute. The captain of the guard said hurriedly.

"Well, Li Xin, what are you doing?" the man who spoke before.

"Get out of the way!" The man in white didn't mean to stop, his powerful momentum was released, everyone was imprisoned, and the man in white ran quickly past everyone inside.

"Roar!" A snow-white figure rushed up and attacked the man in white, both of them took a step back, and the man in white looked fixedly, the white shadow was a white wolf.

"Who trespassed into my Ji Mansion?" Ji Lingyun's voice sounded behind the white wolf.

"Hmph, I'm here to arrest the assassin who assassinated the Eighth Prince!" said the man in white.

"Hmph, who am I, it turned out to be Jin Yun, you relied on Liu Guifei to support you, even my Ji family dared to break in. Ji Lingyun said nonchalantly.

While the two were talking, the guards of the Ji family gathered behind Ji Lingyun, and the Eighth Prince also came to the gate of the Ji Mansion under the protection of the city guards.

"General Ji, please get out of the way, I'm going in to hunt down the assassins!" the Eighth Prince said.

"Eighth Prince, there is no assassin you are looking for here. Ji Lingyun said nonchalantly.

"Ji Lingyun, could it be that the assassin was sent by your Ji family to kill the Eighth Prince?" Jin Yun looked at Ji Lingyun gloomily.

"I sent someone to assassinate the Eighth Prince? Jin Yun, are you in the of your brain? My Ji family has been loyal and good for generations, you actually said that I assassinated the Eighth Prince, do you want me to find His Majesty the Emperor now." Ji Lingyun squinted at Jin Yun and said.

"I obviously saw the assassin jump into your Ji family's compound, and you still want to quibble. Jin Yun said.

"Heh, I'll say that too, just by what you say, I'll let you search my Ji family, are you worthy?" Ji Lingyun said disdainfully.

"Will you get out of the way?" After Jin Yun finished speaking, he raised his short sword and pointed at Ji Lingyun.

"I won't get out of the way, Jin Yun, do you want to die if you are holding a sword at me?" The momentum on Ji Lingyun's body burst out, and a violent wave of qi rushed out from Ji Lingyun's body, blowing everyone's robes and hunting.

The guards behind Ji Lingyun pointed their spears at Jin Yun one after another, and the battle was about to break out.

Just when everyone in the Ji family focused their attention on the door, a figure quietly lurked towards the Ji family's martial arts arena.

At this time, on the martial arts arena, Ji Fengtian, Zhuge Qingming, and Dongfang Saiyu withdrew a group of demon beasts in the center of the arena to fight, and Zhang Fang sat next to Bai Yu, with a table next to him, with a wine jug and a few wine glasses on it. Zhang Fang gently put the wine glass to his lips, took a sip, and watched the battle in the center of the field with interest.

Bai Yu was holding a wine jar, licking the wine in the jar while giving orders to the demon beasts in the field. Everyone didn't pay attention at all, and a figure quietly entered the scope of the martial arts arena.

This figure is the person who assassinated the Eighth Emperor before, when the figure saw the situation in the martial arts arena, he couldn't help but gasp, thousands of demon beasts, the least cultivated are above the seventh layer of martial artists, and most of them are martial artists. In the center of the field, three teenagers were fighting with a group of demon beasts, among which was Ji Fengtian, who had lost all his cultivation. The man was very shocked in his heart, because he knew that Ji Fengtian's cultivation was completely lost, and he cultivated the alchemy technique, and now, the cultivation shown by Ji Fengtian and the three of them was not possessed by ordinary martial artists.

Looking closer, the white lion in the middle, five meters long, exuded a cold aura all over his body, and from the momentum alone, this lion's cultivation was at least above the innate three layers. Moving his gaze to the white lion's side, an old man's body, the pupils of the figure shrank even more, this old man's cultivation was actually not felt by him, and he tried to use his spiritual power to detect.

"En?" Zhang Fang felt that someone was using his spiritual power to probe him, and released his spiritual power without a trace. found a sneaky figure not far behind him, observing himself, I have to say that the alchemist's spiritual power is not ordinarily strong, Zhang Fang's spiritual power was swept on that figure several times and was not found, and when that figure scanned Zhang Fang, it was discovered before it got close to Zhang Fang.

Frowning, Zhang Fang knew that there was no such person in the Ji Mansion, so he quietly transmitted the voice to Bai Yu next to him and said, "I'll tell you something, don't look at me, treat it as if there is no transmission." ”

Bai Yu's voice also sounded in Zhang Fang's mind: "What's the matter, you can say it." ”

"Fifteen meters behind me, there is a person who is spying on us, I can clearly sense that the breath is not from anyone in the Ji family, we took action to catch him, and then tortured him. Zhang Fang said.

"Okay, when are we going to do it?" Bai Yu asked.

"When I say do it, you quickly intercept him, and we hit him back and forth. Zhang Fang said.

"Good!"

The figure swept Zhang Fang's body a few times with spiritual power and didn't find Zhang Fang's cultivation, but this person was extremely cautious and decided to scan it again, just when the figure scanned Zhang Fang with spiritual power for the fourth time, Zhang Fang's body suddenly released a majestic momentum, and at the same time transmitted a voice to Bai Yu and said: "Do it!"

The figure suddenly felt the momentum of Zhang Fang's body, and his heart was stunned for a moment, and he shouted in his heart, ready to escape, but a white figure was blocking behind him, and it was the moment when the figure was stunned, and jumped to the white rain behind the figure.

Zhang Fang didn't speak, and rushed forward directly, the man's cultivation was at the innate level, and Zhang Fang and Bai Yu's cultivation far surpassed that figure. Before he could resist, the figure was knocked to the ground by Zhang Fang.

Stretched out his hand at the dantian of the figure, and a finger shot into the lower abdomen of the figure, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the momentum on the person's body plummeted. Lifting the veil of the figure, a man's face came into view.

"Who are you?" asked Zhang Fang.

"Hmph! Today it fell into your hands, I admit it, I want to kill or chop, listen to it. The man said.

Zhang Fang looked at the man and said, "If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect?"

"Humph!" the man did not speak.

Zhang Fang laughed strangely: "I like hard bones like you." ”

took out a few bottles and cans from his body, put them on the ground, looked at the man and smiled: "Hard bones, don't resist." ”

"Bai Yu, help imprison him. Zhang Fang said to Bai Yu.

"Okay!" a momentum emanated from Bai Yu's body, enveloping the body of the man on the ground, Zhang Fang pinched the man's mouth, and poured the white powder from a bottle into it, then the red powder, then the yellow powder. After pouring, Zhang Fang asked Bai Yu to let go of the man's restraints.

"What did you give me to eat?" said the man in horror.

"You'll find out in a moment. Zhang Fang squatted aside and said.

A man and a beast squatted on the side and watched the man lying on the ground, his face gradually reddened, and his body kept spasming, and then the man kept grabbing it with his hands.

"What did you give him?" Bai Yu asked, looking at the man's pained expression.

"Just eating a little bit of Ten Thousand Worms Mind Eater, and something that activates Ten Thousand Worm Mind Eater. Zhang Fang said.

"What will be the consequences?" Bai Yu asked.

"He will feel the pain of ten thousand insects, but he can't die. Zhang Fang said. Then he took out five more jade bottles from his bosom and poured out a drop of red liquid on the man's skin.

"Ah~!" The man's miserable howl instantly resounded throughout the martial arts arena. Even the three of Ji Fengtian, who were fighting, heard it, and everyone and the beast cast their eyes over one after another.

"What is it this time?" Bai Yu asked, swallowing his saliva.

"This is Tian'er's refining body fluid, which can quench the flesh body. Zhang Fang said with a smile.

"Body refining fluid?" Bai Yu looked at Ji Fengtian who came to his side in disbelief.

"Huh, Grandpa Zhang, who is this person? Why did you pour my cultivation refining liquid on him. Ji Fengtian asked curiously.

"Come and give me a drop!" Bai Yu said.

"Eh?" The four people present all looked at Bai Yu with strange eyes, and Zhang Fang asked, "Are you sure?"

"Uh... Sure!" Bai Yu saw the strange eyes of others looking at him, and panicked in his heart, and then thought that he was a congenital powerhouse, what was there to be afraid of, so he replied to Zhang Fang affirmatively.

Zhang Fang gently poured a drop of blood-red liquid on Bai Yu's paws, and when Bai Yu just wanted to shine the drop of blood-red liquid, a heart-rending pain came.

"Roar~~~~" Bai Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and looked up to the sky and roared.

"Shake off the red liquid. Ji Fengtian shouted anxiously.

Hearing Ji Fengtian's voice, Bai Yu threw the red liquid on the claw onto the man's body, and an even more tragic wail sounded.

"I, I, say!" the man said in a fit-in-and-a-start manner.

Zhang Fang quickly removed a jade plate, scraped off the red liquid on the man's body, and waited for a half sound before the man slowly came back to his senses and said, "You ask, I'll say anything." ”

"Well, if you dare to tell a lie, I have four different bottles of liquid here, and I'll let you experience them one by one. Zhang Fang said with a strange smile.

"I swear, I'm telling the truth, or I'll die!" said the man.

"What's your name?" Zhang Fang asked.

"My name is Liu Kun. ”

"Who sent you?" asked Ji Fengtian.

"I was sent by Liu Xiang, the general of the southwest of the town. ”

"What is the purpose of sending you?"

"Let me find out what the recent commotion in the Ji Mansion is doing, and I also want to check if Young Master Ji has really become a waste. ”

"Is there any other purpose?"

"No more. ”

"En?" Ji Fengtian's brows suddenly tightened, he took a porcelain bottle, opened the cork, and was about to pour it on the man.

"Yes, yes, yes. General Zhennan wanted me to act in a scene, assassinate the Eighth Prince, and then blame the Ji Mansion, and then let me find out what happened to the Ji Mansion, if I found a suspicious situation and reported it, I could separate the relationship between the Ji family and the royal family, and at the same time make meritorious contributions to the Eighth Prince. The man said.

"Who came up with this solution?" asked Ji Fengtian.

"It was Liu Daoxing who came up with it. ”

"Oh, I've beaten this guy twice. Ji Fengtian touched his chin and said.

"Who else knows about this?"

"And Liu Guifei also knows. ”

"Oh, alright, let's kill it. Ji Fengtian said lightly.

"Young master, please don't kill me, I can follow you to the confrontation. ”

"No, let's kill it. ”

Then a guard walked up and cut off the man's head.

"Go and get the head to the front door, tell my father about it, and he'll do whatever he wants. Ji Fengtian said.

The guard cut a piece of cloth from the man's body, wrapped his head, and hurried towards the front door.

Ji Fengtian and Jin Yun are still facing off, and no one will let anyone take a step. At this time, suddenly a group of Praetorian Guards rushed over, and then a voice that was neither male nor female sounded: "The emperor has arrived!"

A middle-aged man walked briskly towards the gate of the Ji Mansion, and when he saw someone coming, everyone bowed down and saluted.

"Father, you have to be the master of your son!" Dongfang Qin stepped forward and hugged Dongfang Ming's thigh and said.

"Tell me what's going on, who let you trespass into the Ji Mansion?" Dongfang Ming said unhappily.

"Father, someone assassinated Erchen just now, if it weren't for Uncle Jin, I'm afraid Erchen wouldn't be able to see you now. Dongfang Qin cried.

Hearing Uncle Jin's three words, Dongfang Ming's eyes flashed with an imperceptible trace of killing intent, but this killing intent made Ji Lingyun see it. Could it be that there is something hidden in it, Ji Lingyun guessed.

"What does this have to do with General Ji?" Dongfang Ming said.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister saw that the assassin had entered the Ji Mansion and wanted to go in to search, but he didn't want General Ji to block him everywhere, so the minister wondered if General Ji was... Jin Yun's words were not finished, but the meaning of sowing discord was already obvious.

"Your Majesty... As soon as Ji Lingyun wanted to speak, Dongfang Ming interrupted him.

"I know General Ji's character, I don't have to explain, I believe it's not you. Dongfang Ming said.

"General!" a guard quickly came to Ji Lingyun's side with a burden in his hand, ready to quietly tell Ji Lingyun about the matter.

"What is there to say directly. Ji Lingyun said.

Hearing Ji Lingyun's words, the guards suddenly remembered Ji Fengtian's explanation, if His Majesty is here, it is to use another kind of rhetoric, looking at the current situation, he can only use the second way.

"Back to the general's words, just now there was a congenital strong man who broke into the martial arts arena, and unfortunately was discovered by Zhang Danshi, and with the cooperation of all of us, the future will be killed. The guard said, and then placed the burden on the ground, and when he opened it, a bloody head appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the person in front of him, the Eight Princes, Jin Yun, Dongfang Ming and Ji Lingyun's pupils all shrank, the first two guessed that this person was the assassin who cooperated with them, and the latter two clearly recognized this person as Liu Kun, who had been dead by Liu Xiang's side for seven or eight years.

"Did this man say anything before he died?" asked Ji Lingyun.

"Back to the general's words, no. The man escaped with all his might, killing several of our companions, and we did everything we could to kill them without getting a clue," the guard said.

"Well, I know, you go back to collect the bones of those dead brothers first, bury them thickly, and subsidize the families. Ji Lingyun said.

"General, you must avenge your dead brothers!" said the guard, falling to his knees with a pout.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find out the real culprit. Ji Lingyun said.

When the guard heard Ji Lingyun's words, he bowed down and saluted again, and walked towards the back with a sad face.

"Eighth Prince, since the person who assassinated you infiltrated my Ji Mansion, then it is this person, but Your Royal Highness, don't worry, I will definitely find out the murderer and avenge His Royal Highness, no matter who it is. Ji Lingyun said.

"I have the right to support General Ji to find out the real culprit, now you all retreat. Dongfang Ming said.

"Father?" Dongfang Qin looked at Dongfang Ming and wanted to say something.

"You should go back first, just leave this matter to your father. Dongfang Ming said.

"In this case, Erchen will retire first!" Dongfang Qin bowed and bowed and left.
