Chapter 341: Assassination
"Virtuous nephew, you came just in time, you and Youtan are not too young, let's choose a good day and an auspicious day to handle the marriage of the two of you as soon as possible!" The emperor said with a smile, and seemed to be very eager to marry his daughter. Pen~fun~pavilionwww.biquge.infor?anw?e?nw?ww.'
Xiao Zhan and the others were also smiling, both of them were on the emperor's side.
Hearing this, Xiao Han hesitated slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a lot of things to deal with during this time, and it is not the time to talk about children's private affairs at all, so postpone this marriage in advance!"
The emperor frowned, and talked to Xiao Zhan and his wife for a while, with a hint of embarrassment in his expression.
"Father, the daughter also agreed to postpone this marriage first. Princess Shengyoutan suddenly spoke, her face was very calm, and she couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.
Seeing that Xiao Han and Princess Sheng Youtan both agreed to postpone this marriage, the emperor had no choice for a while, sighed and said, "Okay! Since both of you propose to postpone the marriage, let's postpone it for a while!" The emperor had an unconcealable disappointment on his face, now that the identity of the Xiao family's Han son is no longer what it used to be, the emperor can only follow his wishes, and he does not dare to force him to do anything at all.
"Han'er, why are you doing this? Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Han with some reproach.
"Father, children really have a lot of things, but they don't have the energy to talk about their children's private affairs. Xiao Han's face was full of bitterness, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a noble national teacher of the Great Qin Empire and a powerful Xuanzong, but only he knew how much pressure he was facing.
The marriage was postponed indefinitely, which made the emperor and Xiao Zhan feel a little disappointed, they were parents, naturally hoping that their children could get married earlier, and the other party was so good.
The crowd soon dispersed, and Xiao Han and his father and mother were arranged to rest in a luxurious palace in the palace, which was specially designed to entertain distinguished guests.
At this time, a guard ran in from outside and said, "Tell Xiao Hanhan Gongzi that there is a person named Dongfang Ming outside who asks to see him." ”
Hearing Dongfang Ming's name, Xiao Han was slightly stunned, and immediately showed a hint of joy in his expression, and walked out quickly.
When Xiao Han walked out of the palace, he saw a young man in a white robe standing there with a smile on his face, it was Dongfang Ming, who had not been seen for half a year.
Dongfang Ming came to Xiao Han with an excited smile on his face, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Han's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Han, you are really back, much faster than I expected!"
Xiao Han looked at Dongfang Ming, the current Dongfang Ming looks very obviously different from half a year ago, his temperament is more calm, and he doesn't look a little impetuous as before.
"Let's go in and talk!" Xiao Han entered the palace with Dongfang Ming with a smile on his face, this palace was specially arranged by the emperor for Xiao Han to live alone, and it was equipped with fifty royal guards outside.
Xiao Han and Dongfang Ming sat down on the chairs, and a maid next to them immediately poured tea and brought snacks for the two, and then retreated under Xiao Han's orders.
"I was just saying that I would go to you when I was free! I didn't expect you to hide in the palace. Xiao Han's mood also seemed very happy, Dongfang Ming and he were the brothers with the best relationship, and the two brothers were naturally very happy to see each other.
"As soon as the war stopped, I accepted the emperor's invitation, and it was difficult to refuse, so I came to the palace to live for a few days, and by the way, I also experienced this kind of life, this is the first time I have lived this kind of life, so naturally I want to enjoy it for a few more days. Dongfang Ming laughed.
"Then have you enjoyed enough?" Xiao Han said with a smile.
Dongfang Ming took a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth and chewed it heavily, and said indistinctly: "I originally wanted to stay here for a few more days! But since you are back, then I will naturally follow you in the future, where you go, I Dongfang Ming will go." ”
Dongfang Ming paused, his face suddenly became serious, and said: "I have successfully completed the task you gave me, I have personally handed over the "Heavenly God Descending Technique" to your father, and I also know what happened to you before, the affairs of the Canaan Sect are counted as my Dongfang Ming, don't forget to call me when the time comes." ”
Xiao Han smiled and said, "There's no need for this, I've already settled the matter of the Canaan Sect." ”
Dongfang Ming was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously: "How did you solve it?" You won't let go of the Canaan Sect so easily, right?"
Xiao Han and Dongfang Ming have been discussing late at night in the palace, for Dongfang Ming, Xiao Han has nothing to hide, everything that happened after he and him were separated, tell everything he can tell! It's just that he concealed the matter of the little leopard, it is not that Xiao Han does not trust Dongfang Ming, but that the less people know about the little leopard, the better, and telling Dongfang Ming about this matter may invisibly increase Dongfang Ming's pressure.
After listening to everything that happened to Xiao Han later, Dongfang Ming was also embarrassed, especially when Xiao Han said that he was fighting against the eight Xuanzong, Dongfang Ming was shocked when he heard it.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen, the Oda clan and the Vagui clan must not forgive him, and when we have enough strength, we must make these two clans pay a heavy price. But Xiao Han, you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, although you have suffered a catastrophe, but your strength has also improved by leaps and bounds, and you have become a strong man of Xuanzong, and you have also become the protector of the Great Qin Empire, it really makes me unbelievable! If my guess is correct, you should only be twenty-one years old!"
It wasn't until late at night that Dongfang Ming, a guest of the Canaanite Empire who had his own residence in the palace.
After Dongfang Ming left, Xiao Han also entered the room and sat cross-legged on the bed in contemplation. At this time, the little leopard who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly finally digested the medicine and woke up.
The little leopard stood up refreshed, stretched his limbs lazily on the bed, stared at Xiao Han with a pair of bright little eyes, and then jumped to Xiao Han's shoulder with a sturdy body, rubbed Xiao Han's face affectionately with his furry little head, and whined in his mouth, very attached to Xiao Han.
The little leopard can freely control the size of its body, so now its body still looks only one foot long, as if it has always been a little white cat, well-behaved and cute.
Xiao Han hugged the little leopard off his shoulder, felt the spiritual power in the little leopard's body, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, it has only been a few days, the strength of the little leopard has been improved to the strength of the third-order spirit beast, this growth rate is indeed very terrifying, if it goes on like this, as long as he can provide sufficient natural treasures, the strength of the little leopard can definitely be improved to the fifth order within a year.
"It's not a loss that the angel leopard only appeared once in ancient times, and this growth rate is really too fast. Xiao Han also sighed in his heart.
Xiao Han once again took out a few thousand-year-old heavenly and earthly treasures from the storage ring, and said in a low voice: "Work hard to improve your strength! Improve your strength to the highest level as much as possible, so that you can have the ability to protect yourself." ”
As soon as he saw a few thousand-year-old heavenly treasures in Xiao Han's hands, the little leopard's eyes immediately lit up, and he swallowed all of the leopard's swallows, showing a very happy look in his eyes, and hiccups comfortably, and then he closed his eyes in Xiao Han's arms, and fell into a deep sleep to digest the medicinal power.
Looking at the sleeping little leopard, Xiao Han showed a trace of sadness on his face, and muttered: "The later it is, the more spiritual power is needed, and the speed of digesting spiritual power will also increase exponentially, I don't know how long the heavenly and earthly treasures in my hands can support, it seems that I have to think of a way." ”
Then, Xiao Han slowly closed his eyes, holding two fifth-order beast pills in his hands to cultivate, there was no heirloom treasure, Xiao Han could only use the spiritual power in the beast pill to slowly evolve into the power of chaos.
Xiao Han knows that the power of chaos is very powerful, although he can't use it at the moment, but when the foundation is laid, he will naturally be able to use the power of chaos in the future, and this foundation is the physical body, only the physical body is strong enough to support the operation of chaos in the body, and now, he needs enough chaotic power to strengthen the physical body.
When he was able to use the power of chaos, Xiao Han believed that his strength would once again make a qualitative leap.
In the second half of the night, the entire palace was quiet, quiet and terrifying, and a team of soldiers in black armor were mentally shuttling around every place in the palace, silently guarding the safety of the palace.
Suddenly, a figure completely hidden in the night flashed away, silently approaching the palace where Xiao Han lived, the surrounding night completely submerged his figure, and the whole person seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness, even if someone approached him, I am afraid it would be difficult to detect his existence.
The figure that melted into the darkness easily avoided the Imperial Forest Army guarding the outside of the palace, and quietly entered the interior, the interior of the palace was pitch black, without the slightest fire.
The darkness around him didn't seem to affect the shadows in the slightest, and he could see his surroundings very clearly in the night. After the black shadow glanced around, he took his hands and feet, and silently came to the room where Xiao Han was resting, and saw Xiao Han who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating.
When the black shadow was ten meters close to Xiao Han, a jade bottle appeared in his hand, and he gently lifted the lid of the jade bottle, only to see a faint trace of gas emanating from the jade bottle, slowly drifting towards Xiao Han.
The black shadow waited for a few breaths, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he put away the jade bottle, and a black dagger appeared silently in his hand, and then his body turned into a black light and shot towards Xiao Han, and the dagger in his hand pierced Xiao Han's throat.
At this moment, a black and white light flashed in the dark room, only to see a crisp sound of iron colliding, the figure of the black shadow rushing forward stopped abruptly, the body did not advance but retreated, and the footsteps staggered back several steps, and every step on the ground made a dull footsteps.
"It's really rare! I actually met a guy with a Yin Spirit Root. A faint voice sounded in the dark room, and he saw that Xiao Han, who was cultivating, had already opened his eyes, and the darkness around him didn't seem to affect him either, and his flat gaze looked at the figure that seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness.
"You...... You're all right, how is this possible. The figure hidden in the night was astonished.
Xiao Han smiled faintly: "Your poison is too weak, and it is not effective against me at all." ”
The black shadow knew that the assassination had failed, and that his sneaking was discovered by the other party like this, and that the frontal fight was not Xiao Han's opponent at all, so he immediately no longer hesitated, and his body turned into a black light, rushing outside at lightning speed, completely silent.
Yin spiritual people, known as the king of the night, will be their world in the dark night, because they can not only hide their breath perfectly, but also make their bodies blend into the darkness, which is difficult to be detected.
"If you want to leave, it's not so easy. Xiao Leng laughed, grabbed the void in his palm, and the originally dark space suddenly became brighter, and in an instant, a sword of spiritual roots with a fiery red body was condensed, and the bright fire light illuminated the dark room red, and even the Imperial Forest Army guarding outside was alarmed.
"Whoosh!" With a shake of his hand, the Sword of Fire Spirit Root shot out quickly, deftly turning a few corners in the room, and finally broke through the door, shooting towards the fleeing black shadow like lightning.
"Boom!" A violent roar sounded, the sky was full of fire, the whole palace was shocked, the black shadow was engulfed by the wave of fire that emitted a strong high temperature, let out a miserable scream, it was no longer possible to hide his figure exposed, the clothes on his body were instantly burned to ashes, and finally although he escaped from the fire, he was already seriously injured.
"There are assassins!"
"There are assassins!"
The originally quiet palace instantly became lively, a large number of soldiers in black armor ran quickly from a distance with torches, there were constantly figures flickering on the roof, and some masters hidden in the palace also rushed towards the place where the fire was shining at full speed.
The people who came to assassinate Xiao Han saw that their traces were exposed, and they didn't dare to stay for a long time, regardless of the injuries on their bodies, they got up and fled into the darkness in the distance.
At that moment, a pale white light flashed away, shooting from a distance with incredible speed, blocking the man's way to escape.
"What a bold man, he dared to assassinate my Dongfang Ming's brother in the palace, I really don't want to live. Dongfang Ming's face was gloomy, his fierce eyes flashed with strong killing intent, and his fist had already struck out like lightning with surging wind spiritual power, hitting the assassin's forehead.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, the assassin's forehead splattered with a brilliant splash of blood, and his forehead was cracked by Dongfang Ming's punch, and the entire forehead was sunken in, and then without saying a word, he passed out.
Several masters of the Xuanhuang rank in the palace had already arrived in front of the assassin, and the fire light emitted by the burning torch dispelled the surrounding darkness, and then the light brought by the firelight could clearly see the assassin's face.
I saw that the clothes on the assassin's body had been burned to ashes, his upper body was naked, even his hair was burned to the core, the skin on his body was pitch black, even his face was disfigured, and the rough wound on his forehead made it completely impossible to see his face.
