Chapter Twenty-Five: It's Too Late
It was getting late, and Yuwen Tuo did not return to Fengxiao Sword Village, but went to the mansion of Fang Xiujie, the Taishou of Shifang City. Two hours ago, Xiujie received news that Yuwen Tuo would live in his house tonight, but he didn't say what time he would come. So, since he received the news, he was restless, and after instructing the people in the house to clean up the main courtyard where he lived for Yuwen Tuo to live, he has been looking forward to the arrival of Yuwen Tuo like the stars and the moon. After two hours of longing, he finally looked forward to this big Buddha.
"Welcome to the Great Prince." Fang Xiujie led the whole house up and down to greet Yuwen Tuo.
"Get up."
"Prince Xie."
"The eldest prince is here, and the humble house is really full of brilliance." After a long time in the officialdom, I know that this is indispensable.
"He led the whole house up and down to greet him so late, Lord Fang has a heart."
"This is what Wechen must do." Fang Xiujie nodded and said with a smile, "The eldest prince, please, Weichen has already ordered someone to clean up the main courtyard of the humble house for the eldest prince to live in." ”
Yuwen Tuo was very satisfied with Fang Xiujie's move, and said, "Then thank you Lord Fang." ”
Fang Xiujie took his two sons to the main courtyard with Yuwentuo, and after some greetings, Yuwentuo sent the three away on the grounds that they were tired and needed to rest.
"The eldest prince, the subordinates here have already checked it, and there is nothing suspicious." After the three of them left, Yuwen Tuo's henchman Jander personally checked the place. After making sure that there was no problem, Yuwen Tuo stayed suspiciously and with peace of mind.
"Zhan De, send someone to follow Murong Ze, pay attention to whether he has been in contact with suspicious people recently, or has mysterious deeds." Murong Ze appeared in Shifang City without warning, and he had to doubt the credibility of Lu Qianmo's failure to come to the Northern Desert. Last night, he received news that Murong Ze would be in Yinghualou tonight to pick up the wind and wash the dust, so he left the Wind Howling Sword Village and came to the city, which was to guess that the person Murong Ze was going to receive tonight was Lu Qianmo. Who knew that he had pounced on himself. It stands to reason that if Lu Qianmo received the news that he had revealed, he would definitely come in person, so he didn't believe Murong Ze's words.
"My subordinates will arrange it." Jander commanded.
"In addition, Mrs. Gu also sent someone to keep an eye on it." If Lu Qianmo came to the Northern Desert, then it was very likely that she would find Madam Gu in person, and this matter had to be prevented, how could he let his plan fail.
"Yes. If the eldest prince is fine, his subordinates will go down first. ”
"Wait." Yuwen Tuo weighed it in his heart, and finally showed a grim face, and ordered: "Madam Gu had better be ill during this time and not wake up. ”
Zander was silent for a moment, comprehending Yuwen's intentions. "My subordinates understand, please rest assured."
"It's okay, let's go down."
……
In the middle of the night, the people of Shifang City put out the lights one after another, and after a hard day's work, it was time to rest. When the sun rises again, they will run for life again.
In the quiet of summer nights, only the sound of cicadas can be heard, accompanying people to sleep. To the west of Shifang City, shadows surged, and the sound of fast-jumping figures and sparse footsteps opened the curtain of a slaughter.
In a certain house, Qingying guarded the courtyard and personally urged the shadow guard to change the medicine soup for Yun Moxi in time. Yun Moxi has locked himself in the door of the room for almost three days, and he has not rested well in the past three days, and the dark circles under his eyes are already very thick.
I remember that Shizi said that as long as you survive these three days, you will be fine. That son should be coming out soon. Qingying looked at the closed door and guessed in her heart. However, before he could wait for Yun Moxi to appear, he sensed that a large number of people were coming in their direction. Soon, one after another people in black appeared in front of him.
"Shadow Guard." Qingying called. The other party is not small, and they must hold on until the son of the world comes out.
Soon, Yun Moxi's shadow guard appeared, and the man in black drew his sword and faced each other. This time they only brought ten shadow guards, and the other party saw no less than fifty people, it was a one-to-five battle. When going out, if it weren't for the order of the prince, the shadow guard would not generally show up in front of outsiders, just like in Huazhou City, they were attacked by the Demon Sect, and the prince did not let the shadow guard appear, but this time the situation was different, and he couldn't support the other party's footsteps with his own strength.
Seeing that the other party was outnumbered, it was very difficult for the shadow guard to contain them all, and now someone had already broken through the shadow guard's defense and came towards the prince's room. Seeing this, Qingying pulled out the three-foot Qingfeng on his waist, and separated the head of the first person who hit the head in five moves without changing his body shape. However, there were more and more black-clothed people who broke through the shadow guard's defense, one, two, three ......, and in the end, he was gradually dragged down by the other party.
The sword flashed and the blood splashed, and the time passed moment by moment. Although more and more people in black fell to the ground, and the shadow guard was also injured a lot, and his movements became slower and slower. Although Qingying was not injured, he couldn't solve so many people alone, he exchanged hands with the man in black while observing the condition of the other shadow guards, and at the same time prayed in his heart that the prince would soon expel the poison successfully, he was worried that the shadow guards would not be able to support it for too long.
The killer is ruthless, the sword has no eyes, and at the same time as Shadow Eight stabbed a man in black, he was also stabbed by another man in black, his body froze, and blood gushed out of his mouth in large quantities, it turned out that this was the feeling of being on the verge of death. With the last of his strength, Shadow Eight pulled out the sword that stabbed the man in black, grabbed the hand holding the sword that stabbed him with his other hand, and stabbed his sword in the opponent's abdomen in the face of horror. The final blow exhausted all his strength, and his body could no longer support it, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Old eight......" The shadow guards exclaimed.
Qingying followed the prestige, only to see Shadow Guardian Eight fall to the ground. The death of the shadow guard has a great impact on everyone, and every shadow guard is red-eyed, and he is sad about the death of the eighth child and is also filled with hatred. However, they don't have time to be sad at the moment, they not only have to protect the safety of the prince, but also avenge the eighth child! Kill, kill, kill. The Shadow Guard's anger filled them with fighting spirit again, and the exhaustion of their bodies seemed to have faded.
"Hahahaha~Hahahaha~" The resounding laughter reached the ears of everyone present. "Yun Moxi, do you want to be a shrunken turtle and watch your subordinates die tragically one by one?"
Qingying frowned, he had already noticed that there was a man in black on the roof. This person should be their leader, and he understands the truth that the thief captures the king first, especially when the other party is overwhelmed, but he is restrained by the man in black and can't get out.
"Meng Niang, how about we go it alone if we have the ability?" The moment he fought the man in black, he knew that the other party was a member of the Demon Cult. And as soon as the man on the roof spoke, he knew who the other party was, because they had fought more than once.
"Hahahaha~" Meng Niang's laughter came again, "Although you are very smart to guess who I am, but you are not qualified to fight with me." ”
Qingying is speechless, he has handed over so many times, who can guess it? Am I not qualified? is really arrogant, "I advise you, it is better to die at my hands than at the hands of my son-in-law." You are not worthy of my son-in-law to do it himself. Don't forget about your scars. ”
Meng Niang's eyes were fierce when she heard this, and she said angrily: "I am not ashamed to say that I am dying at the end." However, soon she returned to normal, because she knew that the other party was just talking fast, and soon Yun Moxi would fall into her hands, and when the time came, she must let him survive and not die.
"Hahahaha~Hahahaha~" Meng Niang fell from the sky and flew to stand in front of Yun Moxi's door.
Qingying secretly screamed badly, wanting to shake off the entanglement of the man in black, but they stuck to themselves like kraft candy. Seeing this Meng Niang approaching the door step by step, Qingying was angry and anxious.
Meng Niang glanced at Qingying, who was angry and couldn't get out, and laughed secretly. That guy is just a guard, and when she catches Yun Moxi, the other party can't do anything to her. Looking at the closed door, he didn't hear a sound from inside, presumably because Yun Moxi was poisoned too deeply and didn't dare to interrupt at will during the process of detoxification. Meng Niang stretched out her fingers and was about to push open the door, but before her fingers touched the door, a powerful internal force struck from the room, shaking her a few feet away.
"You don't deserve to touch the door of my son's room, you can't do it yourself." An indifferent voice came from the room, and everyone saw that the door was slowly opened, and a handsome man dressed in brocade and snow satin appeared in front of everyone calmly.
It's the son of the world, and the poison of the son of the world is gone, it's great! The shadows were overjoyed. Qingying's tight strings finally relaxed, and Shizi really didn't let himself down every time.
"You...... Didn't you get it...... Highly toxic...... How...... Will ......" A large mouthful of blood poured out of Meng Niang's mouth, judging by Yun Moxi's internal force just now, the other party showed no signs of poisoning at all.
"It's a pity you're late. If you had come half a day earlier, you might not have ended up like this. The next time you want to assassinate my son, you have to be quick, and you don't have to wait for anyone. Yun Moxi still spoke in a faint tone, as if he didn't take the remaining twenty or so black-clothed people in front of him in his eyes.
"It's actually me late......" The news is correct, but she is late, Meng Niang is angry, and the blood of excitement gushes out again. Now that he was injured by the other party's internal force, Yun Moxi has recovered, and if they continue to fight, they will only be sent to death in vain. Now she can only find another chance, as long as Yun Moxi does not leave Shifang City, she still has a chance, even if she is sent to the Ten Thousand Poison Pit, she can't let her brothers in the sect die in vain.
"Withdraw!" Meng Niang ordered a retreat.
After they withdrew, Yun Moxi immediately ordered: "Leave here immediately, take the Shadow Guard Eight with you, and bury them properly." The things behind him will be handed over to Ying Weisan, and he must take good care of his family. ”
"Yes, please rest assured that my subordinates will handle this matter." Shadow Guard replied.
"Childe, are you alright?" Just now, like everyone else, he thought that the poison of the prince was completely cured, but when he got closer, he found that his face was a little pale.
"It's okay, although the poison has been resolved, the skill has not recovered so quickly, just now I forcibly broke through the suppression, suffered some internal injuries, and I will be fine after two days of cultivation."
No wonder the prince wants to leave here immediately, if they react, they will definitely come back again. And the reason why Shizi chose to break through the suppression and use internal force to hurt Meng Niang was to make the other party believe that he had fully recovered. Although they didn't know that the prince had forcibly broken through the suppression and suffered multiple internal injuries, the first thing they had to do at the moment was to leave here.
"The subordinates will arrange the departure."
……
After Ling Yin left, Lu Qianmo and Murong Ze chatted for a while before returning to the inn, and Murong Ze also returned to Moyan Pavilion's house in Shifang City. This mansion is generally only Lu Qianmo, Murong Ze and Wei Feng, and Qin Wei will live here.
At this moment, Ling Yin returned and reported to Murong Ze about the assassination of the Demon Sect in the west of the city just now. After listening to what happened, Murong Ze asked Ling Yin to rest, then poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly, his phoenix eyes drooped slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
