Chapter 45: The Imperial Tomb and the Black Jade Dragon Soul Grass (2)
In the days following the prisoner robbery, to Li Xiaohu's surprise, the peaceful life in Los Angeles continued, and everyone seemed to have forgotten all about yesterday's bloody storm. There was not a trace of blood to be seen after the street was washed. The water is also alive, and it becomes very clear in the morning, and you can see fish swimming among the aquatic plants.
The Zhang family didn't send anyone to the wind catcher to inquire about the situation, and the Black Soul Guard was also lifeless.
Li Tiancheng summoned Li Xiaohu once, but it was for the sake of black jade. Last time outside the Qingyun Palace, Li Xiaohu grabbed the black jade and was told to Li Tiancheng by the eunuch. Li Tiancheng called Li Xiaohu into the palace to reprimand him, but Li Xiaohu was kicked out of the palace again without having time to say a word.
The capital seems to have fallen into an eerie calm. It's like someone threw a huge stone into the pool where the evil Jiao lurked, stirring up thousands of waves, and after the waves were calm, the dragon did not appear, and there was no sound in Tanzhong, but you know in your heart that maybe the fangs will bite in the next second.
Li Xiaohu has been a little impatient these days, and in half a month, he has experienced two assassinations, one arrest, and one robbery, all of which are fast-paced. Now the rhythm has slowed down, he feels uncomfortable, for a while it seems to have no direction, and his heart is a little confused.
According to his estimate, the Zhang family should be confronted with the Lin family on the next day at the latest, and the Black Soul Guard will also be involved, and the mysterious person who performed "Tianshui Demon Skill" will secretly add fuel to the fire, and then confirm the identity of the second prince Li Mingrui as the driving force behind the scenes.
The result is not like this, everyone seems to have become a "hook practice", and they all endured it.
"Where is the arrogance of assassinating the prince and killing prisoners under the nose of the forbidden army in the imperial city? Of course, it's no wonder that he doesn't have this patience, because maybe one day he will have to go to Longyuan Gate.
Now the only obsession that exists in Li Xiaohu's heart is whether he can take revenge on this before he leaves, of course, it is okay to collect some interest first. However, there is no clue, so I can only wait.
When it comes to clues, it's not right at all. Lin Shuzhi "confessed" one, that is, they would attack Li Muya. But even if this news is true, and the forest killing capital has run away, will the plan continue to be implemented? Not to mention that this is a lie at all, and the charter betrays the wind catcher. Li Xiaohu heard it clearly that day, Huang Yan shouted the word "He" before he died, which was clearly a clue pointing to the black hand behind him, and before everyone had time to think, the charter shouted "In the river, in the river" interrupted everyone's train of thought. The intent is obvious.
But then again, instead of running around like a headless fly all day long, it is better to go around Li Muya, and the dilemma will be opened......
Early in the morning, on the streets of Los Angeles.
Li Muya was riding her pet Huoyun Horse in front, followed by Li Xiaohu sitting on Rhubarb, and behind Li Xuan and a team of guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Li Xiaohu, as the captain of the Wind Catching Division, you don't go on business, what are you doing with this palace!"
"Isn't it a long time since I saw the imperial sister, and the younger brother misses it very much. β
"I've heard that you let the thief who assassinated the emperor's brother run away a few days ago. β
"The younger brother is just assisting the generals of the Black Soul Guard in escorting the prisoners. I didn't expect such a big mistake. β
"Sharp-toothed. β
Walk the streets from north to south. For a moment, the morning sun shone on Li Muya's radiant face through the alley to the east, and Huoyunju walked through the alley, and that charming moment remained in Li Xiaohu's heart.
When Li Muya looked back at Li Xiaohu, the sun that had just bathed her was shining on Li Xiaohu's face at this moment. He smiled heartily, then took a deep breath and exhaled. The exhaled air liquefied into countless small white droplets in the cold environment of the early morning, which fluttered like golden clouds in the sunlight.
Seeing this scene, Li Muya burst into laughter. Suddenly, her heart was seized by a strange emotion, which could not be said to be joy or sorrow. Li Xiaohu, whom she hated so much in the past, is now with him with an indescribable ease and comfort, even if they say inconsequential things and do inconsequential things.
Of course, most of them are still in debt, the first time Huo Yunju almost took Li Xiaohu's life, and the second time Li Muya stopped Li Xiaohu and indirectly caused him to fight with Xue Shao, although the result was unexpected, but Li Xiaohu was also injured a lot. So Li Muya felt that she owed Li Xiaohu, and it was this debt that opened a gap in her heart and made her accept and tolerate Li Xiaohu.
The good times didn't last long, and after walking for a while, Zhang Zizheng came on a horse.
Zhang Zizheng was still smiling, but when he saw Li Xiaohu behind Li Muya, his whole face fell. Of course, it is not for nothing that Zhang Zizheng is so disgusted with Li Xiaohu, which can be traced back to an incident that happened before Li Xiaohu was kicked and injured by Huoyunju. I won't mention it here.
"Li Xiaohu, why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? Sister Huang will take me out of the city to hunt and relax?"
"You let the suspect go from the wind hunting place, why don't you hurry up and find a way to make up for it, and still have the heart to go out of the city to hunt with us?"
"Wait, what does it mean that the wind catcher let the suspect go, it was not only the people who were there to escort the prisoner at that time, Xiao Wang was very curious, did you go to give your cousin incense when you went out today?"
"You! Iβ"
"Don't talk nonsense, today is the first time I'm hunting with the imperial sister, if you want to be together, close your mouth and follow, if you don't want to, I'm sorry that the good dog doesn't get in the way, dodge aside. β
The few young people who came with Zhang Zizheng saw that Li Xiaohu was so rampant, and they were anti-guest and rushed to them, and everyone was angry. I just wanted to fight back.
Li Xiaohu raised his head and stretched out his five fingers to them arrogantly, and said lightly: "Don't open your mouth, Xiao Wang will not accept any rebuttal!"
"Okay, okay, if you talk about kung fu and have a realm, you are all masters of the heavenly realm. Li Muya said with a smile.
"The junior brother also wants to make achievements in cultivation, but-" Li Xiaohu frowned and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Li Muya saw Li Xiaohu's appearance with an arrogant look just now, which aroused her curiosity.
"Don't worry about it, Sister Huang, let's hurry up. β
Often, the more you want to talk and stop, the more others want to understand. It's like clouds covering the moon, and the obscuration of flowing clouds makes people want to see the moon clearly.
"If you don't say it, then we won't leave. Li Muya played a petty role.
Li Xiaohu still looked very embarrassed. Li Xuan, who was on the side, stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "After being injured last time, there seems to be something wrong with the little prince's body, and his cultivation is not advancing but retreatingββ"
"Li Xuan!" Li Xiaohu stopped Li Xuan from continuing.
"I was injured last time", Li Muya instantly understood in her heart that it was Huoyunju that time. Could it be that the "Black Jade Dragon Soul Grass" failed to make him fully recover? At the moment, the guilt in his heart was even stronger.
So he said with concern: "Although there is no danger in going out of the city to hunt today, you must follow me closely, don't be impulsive and reckless and get hurt again." β
"Don't worry, Sister Huang, I will definitely follow you closely later, and I won't cause trouble. β
After speaking, he quietly compared a scissor hand to Li Xuan.
