Chapter 169: Flying Birds
"Come out!" The two Ouchi masters led by him had already rushed towards the corner where Li He and the female assassin were hiding.
Li He and the female assassin glanced at each other, quickly put on the black hat with the robe attached, and in a flash met the two Ouchi masters, and the two fists faced the two palms that attacked them, instantly turning their energy like a monstrous wave into nothing.
The two Ouchi masters were shocked and turned backwards and flew upside down, and several masters and soldiers of the Yulin Army behind them all surrounded them in an uproar.
Li He and the female assassin stood side by side, one in a black hooded robe, the other in black with their faces covered, and the two looked like accomplices.
The female assassin glanced at Li He a little strangely, hesitated for a moment, and the short dagger in her hand finally did not pierce his neck again, although she didn't understand why Li He would help her, but after all, the great enemy and danger in front of her now were these big internal masters and the Yulin Army.
"Archer!" The first two Ouchi masters had just crossed hands with Li He, and although they were not injured, they were already shocked in their hearts. The strength that the two of them joined forces can instantly turn into intangible, if this person's internal strength in martial arts is too much higher than them, or he has practiced martial arts such as Dafa of Gong Absorption, but judging from the feeling of fighting just now, they feel that the former is more likely.
Dealing with such masters, where will those Ouchi masters and Yulin Army soldiers who are slightly inferior to them be their opponents? It's better to use a bow and arrow to be safer and safer.
When the female assassin saw more than a dozen soldiers of the Yulin Army quickly take off their strong bows, draw arrows and strings, and aim them at them, she was slightly shocked and wanted to escape, but she couldn't help but be puzzled when she saw Li He next to her as if nothing had happened.
The two Ouchi masters, led by the leader, retreated to the side of the Habayashi Army soldiers and blew a long whistle, as if to report to the other Ouchi masters in Miyagi.
"Bold Assassin! Don't you want to be caught!? A big inner master shouted.
Before Li He and the two of them could reply, another master of Ouchi had already waved his raised hand hard, and more than a dozen feather arrows immediately flew towards the two.
The female assassin was shocked, at such a close distance, she was shot by the strong bow of the Miyagi Yulin Army, even a grandmaster-level martial arts master was afraid that she would not be able to dodge, and she really hated that she was confused for a while, and she was a target with this lewd thief.
However, the expected rain of arrows did not come, but a huge black curtain appeared in front of him, only to hear the sound of brushing twice, the black cloth rolled twice, and actually rolled down all the feather arrows that were shot.
The female assassin looked at it, and this huge black curtain turned out to be the long sleeves of Li He's black robe?
The Ouchi master on the opposite side and the soldiers of the Yulin Army were also dumbfounded, how could there be such long and big sleeves? Can't even shoot a bow and arrow? And they just remembered that the black robe on Li He's body didn't have such long sleeves!
The long sleeves are naturally a masterpiece of change, after Li He rolled down the bow and arrow, the long sleeves shrank back, and with one hand he pulled the female assassin who was still in a daze, suddenly increased his speed, and jumped over the heads of the Ouchi master and Yulin Jun who were still in a sluggish state, and when they came back to their senses, the two of them had already run far away.
However, Li He didn't know how to work lightly, because he gently protected the girl on his back with one hand, so he could only pull the female assassin with one hand, and this way jumped over, even if the female assassin herself was a martial arts master, she was also pulled by him and shook her head dizzy.
Not long after running, Li He and the others were stopped by several masters of the interior. This time, seeing Li He go up to confront the master of Ouchi, the female assassin did not stand by and watch it anymore, but secretly dodged away from the side. After fleeing during the day today, she had already found out Li He's identity and knew that he was the grandson of the current Taishi, the mighty Huwei general, and now the Marquis of Wuwei, and he was also one of their assassination targets this time. This guy can't be killed at all, and she already has a deep understanding. Although she didn't know why Li He ran to the deep palace compound in a black robe in the middle of the night, they were all the same dog anyway, since she couldn't kill Li He, it was better to let them fight each other.
Li He blocked and attacked on the left, and just relied on a few punches and kicks to beat several masters who had just attacked fiercely and did not dare to get close.
"You go to the palace wall first, I'll cover you!" Li He said behind him, but he didn't respond for a long time after saying the words, and suddenly felt that the female assassin behind him was no longer breathing, and couldn't help but look back, and sure enough, there was no trace of her.
"Wow! You don't need me to say it, you've already left first? It's so unjust! Li He complained, but under his legs, he had already spread the girl, rushed past several big internal masters, let go of the speed and ran towards the palace wall. Just now he saw that the imperial city outside the palace walls was full of imperial cities, Miyagi Yulin army guards and a large number of Ouchi masters, and the female assassin just went, and she was not shot into a hedgehog?
However, when Li He arrived at the palace wall, there were still sparks under the wall, and there were thousands of troops under the wall, and behind him were chasing soldiers like clouds, but there was no female assassin in sight?!
Didn't she run away? She ran back again? You won't get lost, will you? Is there an assassin with such a dish? Li He's heart was puzzled.
As soon as Li He appeared on the wall of the palace city, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, "The assassin has appeared!" The shouts were endless, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army under the wall had already aimed their spears and arrows at him, and the masters of Ouchi behind him were lined up one by one, counting, not to mention two or three hundred people, just this lineup, pulling out, and killing one or two elite battalions at will is easy.
It seems that this battle is inevitable now? Li He looked around, sighed in his heart, and gently lifted her ass with the hand of the girl behind him, and said in a low voice: "Cover your ears, my brother is going to kill the pig, I will hear the pig howl later, don't be scared......"
At this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed in the eastern sky, and the golden light slowly rose, spreading wider and wider, like a huge torch, attracting people's attention. A gust of wind blew with the appearance of the morning light, blowing the big flag on the palace castle to the sound of hunting.
Li He's heart suddenly moved, standing on the high palace wall and looking down, slowly opening his arms.
"Archers ready!! ——" This is the shouting of the officers of the Yulin Army below, and the sound is heard one after another, only to hear the sound of bending the bow and pulling the strings, brushing and pulling the strings, and it sounded neatly one after another.
"Bang bang!" The sound sounded from both sides, and this was the Yulin army with full armor hiding behind the big shield and holding spears on both sides of the palace wall.
The wind was even stronger, and Li He couldn't help but wonder if this wind was the strong wind released by the hundreds of masters behind him.
"Take him down! If you resist, shoot! A knight in gold armor shouted loudly in the palace, and Li He recognized him as Takagiqi, the leader of the Miyagi Yulin army.
However, just when the soldiers of the Yulin Army on both sides and the Ouchi masters behind them were about to make a move, a change suddenly occurred!
A black curtain suddenly rose on the palace wall, and then they saw the black curtain falling down from the palace wall, and everyone was stunned.
The black curtain lingered in the air for a moment, and suddenly suddenly rose up in the air, and it actually floated up. In the midst of an exclamation, everyone finally took advantage of the morning light to see what this suddenly black curtain was - the black robe on the black-robed assassin actually spread out two huge black wings at least ten meters wide to both sides, and flew up by the strong wind on the palace wall.
Of course, not many of the soldiers of the Yulin Army understood that Li He was flying by the strong wind, and thought that the demon in the sky had descended, and many people were so frightened that they couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and bow down to Li He, who flew higher and higher in the sky like a black giant bird.
There are more and more people who kneel down, and everyone is afraid that they will be disrespectful to this "magic bird" and lead to ruin. The weapons were all thrown to the ground, and even those Ouchi masters looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
"Immortals?" A big inner master looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
"Youkai?" The other is also full of doubts.
At this time, Li He, who was taking off in the air with the help of the wind, looked at the soldiers of the Yulin Army who knelt down and laughed in his heart.
Dozens of meters above the ground, it didn't take long for him to leave the sky above the palace with the help of the wind. Those Ouchi masters could only sigh at him, unable to do anything, and those soldiers of the Yulin Army had already looked stupid, where did they dare to shoot arrows at the flying demons in the sky?
Li He can not only control the shape, hardness, but also the weight. As long as the size and shape are controlled according to the feeling, Li He can control the direction with the help of the wind, and the higher he flies, the higher the wind, the stronger the wind, the stronger the power.
Flying over the capital, looking at the buildings, streets and ant-sized people of the capital below him in the air, Li He didn't want to go down, he just wanted to fly all the time and swim all over the world.
"We ...... Are we in heaven? A girl's voice suddenly sounded next to her ears, and Li He remembered that he was still carrying someone on his back.
"Yes, we are in the sky, we have already left the palace, and below is the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom." Li He replied softly, the girl's soft and cold cheeks pressed against his face, making him feel very comfortable.
"We ...... Really in the sky? The girl's hand around Li He's neck tightened, and there was some uneasiness and expectation in her voice: "Will you fly?" ”
Li He smiled, and couldn't help but admire himself a little, he actually came up with the idea of using a variety of ways to fly with wind power, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with saying that he could fly, so he gave the girl a positive answer: "Yes." ”
"That'...... Who are you? The girl asked with some trepidation.
"Who do you say I am?"
"You...... Are you human? The girl's question made Li He almost spit, but thinking about it, can she be brought out of the heavily guarded palace and fly in the sky, can people do it? At least, certainly not your average person.
Li He suddenly wanted to tease this poor girl called "princess", he smiled and said, "What do you think I am?" ”
After a long time, the girl still did not answer, and Li He was also silent, and continued to swim in the air, enjoying the scenery on the ground.
They had already flown out of the capital and flew over the woods on the outskirts.
"You must be an angel from heaven, right?" The girl said suddenly.
"Huh? Oracle? Li He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, I am the divine envoy of heaven~, I will take you to the sky to be a fairy, okay?" ”
"Brother Fairy, I don't want to be a fairy, can you take me to find my mother? I miss my mother so much......" The girl's voice choked up, making Li He feel distressed when she heard it.
"This ......" Li He's heart twitched, he remembered what the previous Lieutenant Hu said, it seems that the princess's mother has been executed, and she died a terrible death, even the corpse was desecrated by that group of scum.
"Please, fairy brother, I don't want anything, I just want to see my mother, I really miss her, I miss her so much......"
Li He felt cold in his neck, he knew that it was a girl's tears, and hurriedly agreed to her: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll take you to see your mother, don't cry, don't cry." ”
Like a black roc, Li He and the girl flew towards the rising sun in the east.
And at this moment, the palace has already been chaotic, and all kinds of rumors are endless, and they can't help it. Even the capital city that has been cleaned up has been in an uproar, and the people can hear various versions of the secret news of the forbidden palace at home.
Last night's palace, something must have happened. This is for everyone to be sure, but what is going on, no one can be sure, because there are so many rumors, too strange and too exaggerated to be believed.
The huge black shadow flying over the capital in the early morning, but many people thought it was a giant bird of gods and demons that brought disaster, and they were worried, and some people thought it was a black roc, which was a sign of auspiciousness, and some people said that it was the mount that the emperor went to ride.
...... in Daming Palace
The half-bandaged Emperor was lying dying on the dragon's bed, and next to him was a group of anxious imperial doctors.
"Empress, Commander Qin of the Zuo Yulin Army wants to see the emperor......" Eunuch Fan Jian whispered beside the empress.
"See the emperor? Didn't you see that the emperor's dragon body is injured now? How to meet him? Let him! The queen said angrily, although no one dared to look at the imperial doctor next to her, but she was a little puzzled in her heart, the queen has always paid attention to her demeanor and temperament, and it was the first time she had seen her so gaffe. Is it because the emperor was seriously injured?
"But...... He said that he must arrange for someone to come in to protect the emperor to ensure the emperor's safety. Fan Jian raised his head and glanced at the imperial doctors, and continued to whisper.
The queen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she also whispered to him: "What about Gao Muqi? How did he manage his subordinates? ”
"There is chaos in the palace, and Takagiqi is commanding ...... in the Hualing Tianmen Palace"
"You let someone tell the surnamed Qin that his person is the Yulin Army, and the guards of the Daming Palace are the same as the Yulin Army. The main palace has already asked General Takagi to send people to strengthen the garrison, and there are eighteen masters of Ouchi to escort him, which can keep the emperor safe and let him focus on hunting down assassins. The queen said lightly.
"Yes." Fan Jian nodded and whispered a few words to a little eunuch next to him.
Fan ...... Fan ......" The emperor suddenly stretched out a hand to Fan Jian and said hoarsely.
Fan Jian hurriedly stepped forward: "The slave is here!" Emperor...... What do you have to say? ”
The emperor held Fan Jian in one hand, his cloudy eyes barely opened his eyelids, and said weakly: "I ...... I...... It's not ...... No...... Okay~"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and with God's protection, you will definitely be able to save the day." Fan Jian glanced at the imperial doctors and said with a smile to the emperor.
The emperor shook his head with difficulty: "Don't ...... Don't comfort me...... That...... That damn ...... The Thorn ...... Assassin, heavy ...... Damn it...... Follow...... The pig-like ...... smashed to the ground...... cough, cough, cough...... No more...... Cough! ”
The imperial doctor next to him was dumbfounded, and the emperor actually cursed?
Fan Jian raised his eyes and glanced at them again, and several imperial doctors were busy coughing and looking left and right, looking like I hadn't heard anything.
"Your Majesty, General Takagi and they are already in the right to arrest the assassins, and I believe that they will soon be able to arrest and return, and Ling Chi will be executed to vent the emperor's hatred." Fan recommended.
The Emperor shook his head again, then pointed with his other hand at the Empress.
The queen also hurriedly knelt on the side of the bed, leaned over in front of her, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has already informed the crown prince, King Tengling, King Wuyue and other princes, they will be here soon, don't worry......"
The emperor's hand held the empress's slender hand, and coughed for a while before he said inaudibly: "Empress...... Although I have so many concubines...... But...... Favorite ...... Or are you ......"
When the queen heard this, whether she really liked the emperor or not, her heart was full of joy and sweetness, and it was a supreme honor to be truly liked by the king of a country.
The emperor gasped for breath and said, "I ...... I...... No...... future...... The rivers and mountains of this Great Xia...... It's up to the prince...... you...... Go down and accompany me......"
The queen heard this, and stayed for a while before she realized that the emperor's words were to let her be buried with her!?
"!" The empress suddenly shook off the emperor's hand and stood up, pointed at his nose and scolded: "If you want to die, you still have to pull up the palace?" Kill yourself! ”
"Uh......" A group of imperial doctors saw that their eyes were about to bulge.
"You...... You...... You...... Burst! ~~" The emperor pointed at the queen with one hand, trembled for a long time, spit out a mouthful of thick blood, and dyed the bedding red.
The emperor relieved his breath again, and then took Fan Jian's hand and said, "Let ...... Let this ...... Slut ...... Accompany...... Stay with me, three ...... Three Palaces and Six Courtyards...... All concubines are ...... Funeral ......"
Fan Jian looked at the half-dead emperor, then at the iron-faced queen, and then looked up at the silent imperial doctors.
"Minister...... The ministers didn't see anything...... What...... Didn't hear anything. The doctors were so frightened that they hurriedly waved their hands.
Fan Jian looked at the queen again, who nodded slightly at him.
"Your Majesty, you can go in peace, huh? The rest of the things will be taken care of by the slaves. Fan recommended.
