Chapter Thirty-Six: Another Assassin
In the palace of Changyuan Palace, Nangong Yong's headache gradually subsided after the servants lit the incense incense, and he rubbed his eyebrows, obviously slightly tired due to the many state affairs recently.
"Yiju, I called you here today, but because of this Xuanwu Gate competition, I need you to calculate the astrological fortune. ”
The man standing in front of the hall looked like he was about twenty-six or seventeen, different from the people of the palace who combed his hair in a bun or wore a crown, his hair was only loosely tied at the back of his head, and his narrow eyes were a rare ice blue, hidden in this black robe, which became more and more mysterious.
"The minister has already calculated some time ago that if the king wants to sit firmly on the throne of this long abyss, he needs to find the lost Nine Phoenix Xuanjian, and then find the heir of the Nine Phoenix. ”
When Nangong Yong heard this, he was slightly angry, "Ten years ago, Taihe was wiped out by the Great Liao Army, and all the royal bloodlines have been killed, isn't the master joking with Lone?"
Yi Ju hooked the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "The Nine Phoenix Xuanjian disappeared on the day Taihe was destroyed, does the king think this is just a coincidence? ”
On the other side, Shen Qiuyu took off his clothes and walked towards the pool of the medicinal bath step by step, this medicinal bath, only Hu Qingguang knew about it, so Hu Qingguang only said to the outside that Shen Qiuyu would concentrate on cultivation for a few days, let Xuan Yan guard the outside of the house, and said internally that she was weak and needed to be recuperated for a few days.
But in any case, no one will bother her in recent days, thinking of this, Shen Qiuyu raised her eyebrows, hooked her lips and smiled.
The medicinal bath was full of rare herbs that could activate her first seal, Shen Qiuyu didn't know where Hu Qingguang found these things, but she knew that Hu Qingguang was wholeheartedly good for her, although he often quarreled, but he always regarded her as his own family.
The medicinal properties in the medicinal bath gradually seeped into Shen Qiuyu's body, she gritted her teeth, only to feel that the internal organs in her body were as if they were bursting, and the overwhelming pain made her soul a little confused, and dense beads of sweat had oozed from her forehead.
"Damn! it hurts!"
Shen Qiuyu was so painful that she burst into a foul mouth, but she still patiently endured the double pain of sometimes cold and sometimes burning in her body, until the moontop treetops, she felt that her body became transparent, she moved her sore arms from the medicinal bath, and found that she was a lot lighter.
"Could it be that you have already absorbed the medicinal effect and broken the first seal?"
Shen Qiuyu looked at herself in disbelief, it was only a few hours, how could she absorb the medicinal properties in the medicinal bath so quickly, she held her breath and concentrated, and the sword power from the dantian was twisted on her fingertips, and when she opened her eyes, she suddenly found that there was a cluster of flames on her fingertips.
"Ah, this is?"
Shen Qiuyu was surprised, she could actually control the real fire? In this case, did the sword power also improve a level, thinking of this, she raised her hand and pulled out the sword from the scabbard, and wanted to swing the sword to give it a try, only to find that she was not wearing a shirt, although there was no one in the house, but her face was still slightly red, and she pulled a green coat and draped it on herself.
"It seems that it was a success. Shen Qiuyu was secretly happy.
Suddenly, she heard a noisy sound outside, and in the panic, she heard Xuan Yan shouting, followed by a chaotic noise.
"Xuan Yan, what's going on outside, Xuan Yan?"
After calling a few times, but he didn't hear Xuan Yan's response, Shen Qiuyu's heart sank, and he turned around to find that there was a black-clothed assassin standing on the beam of the room at some point, and he flew down at this moment, approaching Shen Qiuyu.
"Who are you?"
Shen Qiuyu raised his foot from the medicine spring and kicked horizontally, and casually pulled the bead curtain to cover his exposed fragrant shoulders, the black-clothed man's eyes were slightly stunned, but he saw the pattern of the phoenix flower on her shoulder, and then the hand holding the sword trembled obviously.
Seeing this, Shen Qiuyu twisted up a stream of fire and slapped it directly at the left shoulder of the black-clothed assassin, the black-clothed assassin couldn't dodge and couldn't take pain, raised his hand and threw a smoke bomb and fled in a hurry, Shen Qiuyu took advantage of the situation to rush out, but saw that there was a black pressure outside, and the original noisy sound immediately stopped, while Xuan Yan looked at Shen Qiuyu in confusion.
"Senior sister...... You, why did you come out like this? ”
Xuan Yan looked at Shen Qiuyu dressed in strange clothes, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Why shouldn't you just shout?"
"Senior Sister Fangcai, did you call me, I didn't hear it?"
"Was there a noise outside?"
"This ...... Naturally, no, senior sister, isn't it that the medicinal effect of the medicinal bath is too strong, which makes you feel terrified?" Xuan Yan wondered.
"Impossible...... How can this be, is it really an illusion. ”
Shen Qiuyu looked up at the place where the man in black had disappeared, and felt more and more suspicious.
"Senior sister, are you feeling unwell?" Xuan Yan said with concern.
Only then did Shen Qiuyu retract his thoughts, looked at Xuan Yan, and said warmly: "Don't worry, I have absorbed the effects of the medicine, and my body is fine." ”
"That's great, Mr. also instructed me to take care of this outside the house in the next few days, but I didn't expect my senior sister to absorb the effect of the medicine in a few hours. ”
Shen Qiuyu tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "But I still need to adjust my body in the past few days, so I bother you to guard here." ”
"Senior sister is outside. Xuan Yan scratched his head and smiled.
Shen Qiuyu and Xuan Yan talked outside the house, and then returned to the house containing the medicinal spring to investigate carefully, it seems that the man in black must have drugged her, which caused her to hallucinate, once she enters the nightmare, she can be slaughtered by others.
"Damn, dare to peek at the old lady's medicinal bath!" Shen Qiuyu only felt angry when he thought of this.
"When I catch you, I must skin you!"
In the dark, when the man in black heard Shen Qiuyu's words, he couldn't help but tremble, but he only felt that he had caused a trouble, and he couldn't help but look gloomy on the ground, and then disappeared into the territory of Taiyuan.
As soon as Nangong Jue and his party left Changyuan Royal City, they saw Ning Feiyu whipping up and running to the front of the carriage, his eyes were cold, he glanced at Nangong Jun, and then said with a fist: "Prince, the minister has something to do." ”
Nangong Jue lifted the curtain, looked at the sky, and said, "Then let's rest here for a while, and then hurry after half an hour, what does the hall think?"
Seeing that Nangong Jun did not refute, Nangong Jue stopped speaking, and got out of the carriage, Ning Feiyu frowned, and whispered a few words in Nangong Jue's ear, Nangong Jue was suddenly a little angry.
"It seems that Nangong Jun really planted a spy in Taiyuan. ”
"Prince, the minister also heard that Xia Yixiang, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Xia, is still practicing in Taiyuan, and the king ordered someone to take her back, but the minister doesn't know why the royal family doesn't know. ”
"Father...... I still can't trust this prince. ”
Nangong Jue sank his eyes, looked up at the sinking sky, and said: "Go find an inn nearby, rest here tonight, and go back tomorrow, Feiying, you go with General Ning." ”
"Yes, Prince. The Flying Eagle led the way with a negative fist.
Nangong Jue, who was still resting on the side, looked at Nangong Jue's expression not far away, and suddenly became serious, and couldn't help but feel good, and ordered the secret guards beside him to strictly guard Nangong Jue, until Taiyuan, there must be no slackness.
