Chapter 948: Assassination
Dragon City in May is the time when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the scenery is pleasant.
A group of people and horses were slowly heading towards Dragon City.
This is a splendid carriage, which looks like it belongs to a wealthy family.
The cart was pulled by two sturdy horses, and judging from the speed and posture of running, it was known that they were rare horses of a thousand miles.
On the wheel sat a driver dressed in black, and on the roof sat a man wearing a hat, holding a long knife in his hand, and his eyes were like an eagle on the prairie patrolling the surrounding environment, looking for hidden dangers.
"Allen, Prince Xuanming sent us to rob and kill this person, I don't know what his true identity is?"
Li Yunyang felt strange in his heart, after going back last night, Prince Xuanming came to look for him again, saying that he said that the remnants of the Lotus Sect were rushing from the Canglang Grassland to Dragon City, and he must not let this person see Emperor Chongguang, otherwise the Lotus Sect will bring disaster to the world again. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but Prince Xuanming left with a solemn expression. Before leaving, he told him that this matter must be done.
Gao Yue and Li Yunyang lurked in the grass pile that was one person high in the Canglang Grassland, and if they stood elsewhere, they would definitely not see that there were people hiding in the grass. Prince Xuanming actually said that this person was from the Lotus Sect, so he must be killed completely.
Now as long as it is related to the Lotus Sect, Li Yunyang wants them to disappear from the world completely.
"They're coming, we're not going to do it. ”
Li Yunyang pressed Gao Yue, who wanted to stand up, into the grass and said, "Don't worry, there is also an ambush in the grass opposite." Let them do it first, and we'll never be too late to do it. ”
Gao Yue looked around and asked, "Where is the killer still hidden, why can't I see it?"
Li Yunyang's eyesight is amazing now, even if there is any wind and grass in the grass, it can't escape his eyes. Gao Yue's cultivation is still shallow, so naturally he can't see the killers in the opposite meadow. “
The carriage drove slowly through the Canglang grassland, and the wildflowers on both sides were blooming wantonly, as if they were afraid that autumn would come overnight, and they longed to bloom a thousand days in one day. The grass is green, and the flowers are like dreams.
The carriage that was walking in front suddenly stopped, and a young man dressed in brocade clothes stepped out of the carriage. When he got out of the car, he was as light as a swallow, and a discerning person knew at a glance that this was a practitioner.
"Is it he the one Prince Xuanming asked us to assassinate?"
Li Yunyang pulled Gao Yue to lie on the ground quietly and did not move, because the killer on the opposite side was also observing the situation here. The young man who stepped out of the carriage was only twenty-four or five years old, what did he have to do with the Lotus Church?
The killer in ambush on the opposite side really couldn't help but make a move, and in an instant, dozens of people were seen jumping out of the grass. Everyone has a lark embroidered on their chest, and at a glance they know that it was sent by the Lark Organization.
"Allen, I didn't expect Prince Xuanming to send someone. ”
Li Yunyang shook his head and said: "Don't speak, this is not the person sent by Prince Xuanming at all, and at a glance, you can know that someone wants to blame him." But the means are too clumsy, and the wise man will know it at a glance. ”
The young man in brocade clothes didn't pay any attention to these assassins, waved his hand to the guards behind him to signal them not to move, and his eyes swept to Li Yunyang's side like lightning. He seemed to have discovered that Li Yunyang and Gao Yue were hiding here.
Without saying a word, the assassins went up with the swords in their hands and beckoned to the young man, and the young man turned around, and his fluttering figure had flashed to the outside of several people, and a long sword in his hand was impressive.
"With the kung fu of a few of you three-legged cats, you also want to assassinate this prince. Go back and tell your master that this prince will definitely go to visit you another day. ”
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he saw dozens of assassins all fall to the ground and die, the tip of his sword stained with a trace of bewitching blood, leaving only one alive. The living assassin was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he crawled into the distance.
Li Yunyang saw clearly how the young man made a move, his swordsmanship was so fast, I am afraid that even he was not an opponent.
"Alan, are we going to do it or not?"
Li Yunyang said in a low voice: "That young man may have discovered us, so it's better not to act rashly." ”
Watching the carriage move away, the two of them got up from the grass.
Li Yunyang watched the carriage go away, with a faint smile on his face.
Gao Yue saw that Li Yunyang actually smiled, and she felt inexplicable in her heart. This time he let go of the remnants of the Lotus Sect, Prince Xuanming will definitely be reprimanded when he goes back, I don't know why he is so happy.
"Alan, why didn't you let me do it just now?"
Li Yunyang turned around and smiled: "Don't you think that person is not a member of the Lotus Sect? His martial arts body is completely different from that of the Lotus Sect Master. This time, Prince Xuanming didn't know what the conspiracy was, he wanted to borrow our hands to get rid of the young man. ”
"We didn't kill this person, how can we tell Prince Xuanming when we go back. ”
Li Yunyang said with a wicked smile: "This is not easy, just say that I haven't seen anyone." The origin of this young man is unknown, but the swordsmanship is extraordinary, and I must find out the cause and effect of this matter. ”
As he spoke, he turned and chased after the carriage he had just had.
Gao Yue also made him dizzy, isn't it now that he won't kill that person? She wanted to ask Li Yunyang the reason, but she couldn't catch up with him at all. Since he came back from the East China Sea, he has learned a lot in martial arts.
The two of them followed the carriage into Dragon City, and the carriage finally stopped in front of an ordinary inn. The young man got out of the carriage, and then the carriage drove on, and he went upstairs to the inn.
"Your uncle, if you still want to have a Li Daitao stiff fool me, then you are looking at the wrong person. ”
Li Yunyang quietly followed the young man upstairs, and after the young man went upstairs, he entered a first-class guest room, he asked Xiao Er for some food, drank a pot of wine, and never came out again.
"Alan, why hasn't that person come out after going in for so long, there must be something strange about this. ”
Li Yunyang is such a person, he waited outside the door for a while and stuck his head out of the window of the corridor, and saw a very casual carriage parked under the guest room where the young man lived, and an old coachman with gray hair sat in front of the car.
"You still want to run, I see where you can run today?"
Li Yunyang turned to Gao Yue and said, "You are staring at it here, if there is any trouble, call me." If I don't come back after waiting here for half an hour, you can go back to the prince's mansion and say that I have gone to hunt down the person to be killed. ”
He saw a black shadow flashing behind the guest room where the young man lived just now, and for a while he couldn't tell if this was the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he had to let Gao Yue stay and continue to monitor.
By the time Li Yunyang ran to the back, the carriage had already disappeared. The window at the back of the room where the young man had just stayed was open, and it was from where he jumped and escaped. I did everything I could, but I still let the young man escape.
Li Yunyang looked down at the mark of the carriage, and just when he wanted to get up and chase after him, Gao Yue came over with a letter in his hand.
"Alan, I just went into the room to track down the young man, and I saw a letter on the table. ”
Li Yunyang saw that the letter was written with the words Allen personally opened, and the envelope was sealed. He opened the letter and saw a line of familiar words. Gao Yue leaned her head over and saw that it said, Old Friends Appointment, Huayang Inn.
Huayang Inn is the most famous inn in Dragon City, where rich merchants gather, and people who come to Dragon City to do business live there. Therefore, it is known as the golden nest of Dragon City. It's not very far from the Prince's Mansion.
When Li Yunyang saw the letter, he was also shocked, he didn't expect that kid to come to Dragon City. That young man was already extraordinary, as if he was just his subordinate, so wouldn't his current status be very noble? The person that Prince Xuanming sent to kill himself was not that young man with martial righteousness and high righteousness, but that stinky boy.
"Alan, the person who left this letter seems to be an old friend of yours. ”
Li Yunyang thought to himself that since he didn't want others to know that he had arrived in Dragon City, it would be better for one less person to know about this matter. I don't know what happened to this stinky boy when he returned to Dragon City this time? Prince Xuanming actually wanted to send someone to put him to death.
"An old friend has returned to Dragon City from out of town, and I'm going to check it out. When you go back, tell His Highness the Crown Prince that I have gone to see an old friend. As for the assassination of the remnants of the Lotus Sect, you said that they would run away. ”
Gao Yue knew at a glance that Li Yunyang wanted to break up with himself, and he didn't know what close relationship the person who left this letter had with him. If I asked him to go with him now, he would not agree. It's better to promise him to go back to his life first, and then follow him secretly.
"Okay, I'll go back and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have to be more careful. I don't think the person who left you a letter is a good person. ”
The corners of Li Yunyang's mouth rose slightly and smiled: "You won't bother with this, I'll leave first." ”
As he spoke, he walked in the direction of the Longhua Inn, and he had already planned to follow Gao Yue from behind. However, since Gao Yue saw the contents of the letter, if the two of them met at the Longhua Inn, they would definitely not be able to escape her surveillance.
Li Yunyang frowned, thinking about it. As long as he unknowingly got rid of Gao Yue and arrived at the Longhua Inn earlier than Gao Yue, and the two of them left from there, things would be much easier.
So he quickened his pace and walked forward, pretending not to feel Takatsuki following behind him at all.
Soon came to a dense forest, Gao Yue hurriedly chased after him, but Li Yunyang had already run away.
Gao Yue thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up and chased in the direction of Longhua Inn, it seemed that Li Yunyang had already found out that he was following.
After Gao Yue left the woods, Li Yunyang jumped from a tree.
"If you play conspiracy, you're too far away. ”
He looked at Gao Yue's back as he walked away, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
