Chapter 9: Night, Horror

Night, Countdown [2:11:20]

Huang Lingfeng was lying in the guest room of the inn with a solemn face.

He wasn't in a hurry to sneak into the East Palace, that thing was in the palace after all, and...

Chang He, Jing Junhong, Lu Shiheng, these are all characters related to the change of Xuanwumen, he followed the clues to the prince's East Palace, and was inevitably involved.

Just a narrative building is full of dangers, and the change of the SS-level Xuanwu Gate, which can be casually involved?

Therefore, Huang Lingfeng held a seven-point luck mentality, and with the help of the transformation technique, it took nearly half a day to open up all the exploration degrees that could be increased by "opening the map", and obtained 10% of the exploration degree.

[Current Exploration: 43%], 32% away from 75%, only by completely relying on events to improve, the future is worrying.

He washed his face, leaned against the window and looked around, in the distance, a gray whirlpool loomed in the palace, presumably the clue to the events of the Prince's Mansion.

I have to say that the eye of delusion is still convenient, although the clues can be found by "inquiring", but in the case of time limits, omitting the step of inquiring is equivalent to saving lives.

It's come to this, let's rest first, after all, it's not a cultivator, if you don't recuperate, you won't be able to deal with all kinds of ... Oh?

Huang Lingfeng was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw several black figures flying by from a distance, such a standard assassin's dress would inevitably make him vigilant.

He frowned and looked at it for a while, but the Broken Eye didn't react, so it's not a clue to the incident, or don't get involved...

Huang Lingfeng shook his head, although the Eye of Delusion is convenient, it may not be omniscient and omnipotent, in the final analysis, it is just a tool, and everything should not be counted on it. That...

At this point, Huang Lingfeng hesitated for a moment, checked Gui Fanyu and the [Transformation Ghost Steel Bone] and the spiritual power in his body, and quietly jumped out of the window, transformed into a black cloth, and blended into the night.

Sycamore Lane

The corpses were everywhere, the blood was permeated, and one person's eyes were red, his cheeks were stained with blood, and the armor on his body was tattered, but he could still help him resist the thieves' knives and guns.

"Rats! Hide your head and show your tail, I am Xue Wanche, the deputy protector of the Qi Palace! Dare to report your name! ”

Xue Wanche's soldiers were dead, and the six black-clothed people on the opposite side were also covered in blood and panting, although the black clothes were tattered, but the mask was not damaged at all.

One of them sneered, "Qi Wangfu? Who doesn't know that you are the prince's lackey, do you think that if you put on the name of King Qi, you can get out of the matter? King Qin has an order, you are the one who kills today! ”

The terrain of Wutong Lane is narrow, and Xue Wanche is good at using a big gun, so he can't use it for a while, and he is forced by six people to scream.

"My eldest brother has always respected King Qin, but I didn't expect that King Qin would send a killer to be such a villain!"

The man in black took a sip, "You two brothers have bad brains, you become the king and lose the king, when he becomes the king of Qin and ascends to the throne, who in the world will know about this matter?" Hehe, Xue Wanche, take your life! ”

The small Wutong Lane flew sand and rocks for a while, the house cracked and the pillars were broken, and dozens of people were stoned to death in their homes before they even had time to wail.

If you calculate it carefully, this Xue Wanche actually has the strength of a second-level demon envoy, and there is no shortage of good hands among the men in black, and the two sides have been fighting for nearly half an hour, but there is no support from officers and soldiers.

Xue Wanche spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his whole person instantly withered by seven points, and he could barely hold the big gun in his hand.

At this time, only three people in black were still standing in the field, and the rest had already lost their breath and died on the spot.

Xue Wanche laughed, "Rats! Come on! Keep coming and die! ”

A man in black couldn't help but tremble with his hand holding the knife, not because he was afraid, but because he was exhausted, "Xue Wanche, you don't have to be complacent, the six of us brothers will let you die here today, hehe." ”

Xue Wanche suddenly laughed out loud, looked at the four black-clothed corpses on the ground, and then looked at the three people standing there, "Six brothers? ”

The man in black reacted a little slower, and when he was still looking at the corpse on the ground, suddenly...

Only two earth-shattering war drums sounded, and the two purple qi swords instantly submerged into the body of one of the black-clothed people.

Huang Lingfeng had no intention of calculating, and when the other two were stunned, he instantly killed one with an elbow, and then jumped high, his elbows were like hammers, and smashed the sides of the other person's neck.

Looking at the two fresh corpses, Huang Lingfeng ripped off his mask and looked at Xue Wanche, "Is the general okay?" ”

Seeing that Xue Wanche's eyes were full of vigilance, and his hand holding the gun was full of muscles, Huang Lingfeng didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly took out the token he got from Qing Ling and shook it.

Xue Wanche was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and he unconsciously knelt on one knee and coughed up three mouthfuls of blood, "Damn, I was almost killed by these dogs." What's your name? ”

Huang Lingfeng thought for a while, took a few steps forward and helped the other party up, "In Xia Cao Houdao, he is a ranger in the rivers and lakes, fortunately the prince..."

Xue Wanche waved his hand, "Okay, that's your business, since you have the Flying Tiger Order in your hand, then you are the prince's cronies, you don't need to explain so much to me." Quick, take me to meet the crown prince, and tell the king of Qin about this matter..."

Huang Lingfeng didn't know what the Flying Tiger Order was, but listening to Xue Wanche's tone, this thing seemed to be quite high-level? And...

[Event completed, Exploration +1%, Current Exploration: 44%]

The Eye of Delusion didn't prompt, is it a hidden event? But why is it only up 1%? Because it doesn't matter?

Huang Lingfeng's eyes rolled, and he had an idea, "General Xue, can you be trusted?" ”

Xue Wanche was supported by him, and the vicissitudes and straightforwardness of a typical soldier made his brows furrow, "There are no more than ten people holding the Flying Tiger Order, how can I not believe it?" ”

Huang Lingfeng once again realized the importance of the little maid Qingling, helped the other party up, and said in a low voice: "The prince has expected this matter, and the prince means that we will plan it." ”

Xue Wanche was stunned for a moment, and nodded suddenly, "Yes, if King Qin wants to get rid of me, he must have a plan, instead of telling the other party that I am not dead, it is better to plan and then come by surprise?" ”

Huang Lingfeng nodded, "Then please ask the general to be wronged, take off the armor, and arrange it below." ”

Not long after, Huang Lingfeng used the corpse water he got from Qing Ling to fiddle with the scene, and then took Xue Wanche, who was dressed in disguise, to hide in a temporary stronghold rented during the day.

Money? Of course, it's to find Qingling... Ahem, borrowed.

After instructing Xue Wanche to hide his injuries and wait for the prince's order, Huang Lingfeng secretly returned to the inn, and his brain was running rapidly.

It's not right, it's weird, it's weird.

Let's not talk about whether the prince is crazy or not, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, can help Li Yuan open the country, and can hold down a group of tiger generals from the General Zi Tiance Mansion, and he will never be a brainless fool.

If he wants to deal with Xue Wanche, he needs to tell the onlookers that he sent someone to do it when "there are people huddled in the house and watching"?

Xue Wanche's elder brother Xue Wanjun should be under Li Shimin, as long as he pretends to send someone to invite Xue Wanche to a banquet or other affairs, he can kill him without much effort, why bother to publicize it?

Unless the person behind those killers is not Li Shimin, the king of Qin, but someone else deliberately framed and provoked, who could this person be?

Although Xue Wanche is the prince's confidant, he is also the deputy protector of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the prince and the king of Qi have always worn a set of pants, so it should not be Li Yuanji.

That... Is it Li Yuan? The reason?

Huang Lingfeng thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason, let alone sleeping, at this age, in this situation, where could he sleep.

Time is running out, and the exploration degree is only 44%, so it seems that you have to go to the palace prince's mansion.

Taking advantage of the night, Huang Lingfeng used the [Shape-shifting Ghost Steel Bone] to transform into Xue Wanche's appearance, and cautiously came all the way to the palace, with Xue Wanche's face and the Flying Tiger Order, there was no danger all the way.

When they came to the Prince's Mansion, dozens of soldiers held lanterns and shouted angrily, "What people! In the middle of the night, sneaky... Eh, General Xue, how are you...? ”

Huang Lingfeng snorted coldly, "Why am I sneaky? ”

The soldier knelt on the ground with a "poof", "The general spares his life, the villain is... For a while, for a while..."

Huang Lingfeng flew up and kicked him away, his face was not good, "Your Highness can be in the mansion?" ”

The other soldier hurriedly nodded, with a sneer, "I'm here, but I heard that His Highness is not in a good mood, general..."

Huang Lingfeng glared, so frightened that the soldier quickly shrank his neck, "Go and report, just say that I have something important to report, and it concerns King Qin." ”

Not long after, Huang Lingfeng, under the guidance of the guards, walked through the courtyard and saw the legendary "crazy prince" Li Jiancheng in a grand hall.

I saw that Li Jiancheng's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze at him was not very friendly, as if he was looking at an outsider.

This can't help but make Huang Lingfeng very strange, what's going on? Is the name of Xue Wanche's confidant fake?

Li Jiancheng was draped in a big hat, supported his side face with one hand, tilted his head and said, "Something important?" What's the matter? ”

Huang Lingfeng added fuel and vinegar to the assassination of Xue Wanche and the words of the man in black, and added at the end, "The last general was fortunate to have the help of a chivalrous warrior, so he escaped with his life and was able to come to report to His Highness, Your Highness, we..."

He quietly glanced at Li Jiancheng, and saw that his eyes were shining in his somewhat sick face, like a dormant tiger, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this is the legendary waste, madman? Not like.

Li Jiancheng didn't look at Huang Lingfeng, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked casually: "It's hard work, according to General Xue's thoughts, what should we do now?" ”

Huang Lingfeng didn't panic at all, thinking of Xue Wanche's character, "Back to Your Highness, if you follow what the last general thinks, you should go straight to the Chengqian Palace, but..."

Li Jiancheng's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see his joy or anger," he said. ”

Huang Lingfeng nodded, "But the last general thinks that what the chivalrous man said after saving the last general is more reasonable." He said that the black hand must not be the king of Qin, so he might as well plan it, let the last general pretend to be dead and wait for the future, so as to see who is behind the scenes. ”

As soon as Huang Lingfeng finished speaking, he suddenly felt that a gleam flashed in the eyes of the "crazy prince" in front of him, and the whole person instantly lost his previous pathology, but instead had a posture of swallowing mountains and rivers.

"Will it be calculated? Yes, where is that man? Why didn't I come with you? ”

Huang Lingfeng deliberately showed a look of embarrassment, "Back to Your Highness, that person is just a ranger in the rivers and lakes, this palace is important, who is he..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, a brand-new token embroidered with a winged flying tiger appeared in front of him, it was the flying tiger order, he pretended not to understand, "Your Highness, this is...?" ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Li Jiancheng's eyes, and he said patiently: "This prince uses people, and he never asks about his background, you bring this thing to him, and let him come to see me when you turn around." Hmm, name? ”

Huang Lingfeng accepted the token, nodded and smiled: "His name is Cao Houdao, and he is as his name." ”

Li Jiancheng laughed and shook his head again and again, "It's not kind at all to take advantage of your assassination." ”

Huang Lingfeng took advantage of his good mood and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, who could that assassin be if he wasn't sent by King Qin?" ”

Li Jiancheng's laughter stopped abruptly, a trace of helplessness and embarrassment seemed to flash on his face, and then he shook his head, "Your Royal Highness is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be more than a Qin king who wants to harm me?" ”

After that, Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed, and the momentum of the whole person rose sharply, and he seemed to have the strength of a level 3 peak demon envoy.

"Father, is it afraid that I am in a hurry? King Qin has been on the throne of the crown prince for a long time. King Qi is willing to hide behind me forever? ”

"Are you afraid that the former dynasty will settle accounts after I sit firmly? The Turks are willing to see a prosperous Tang Dynasty? It's just that it affects you, and it shouldn't be. ”

Li Jiancheng snorted coldly, but shook his head with a wry smile, "The most ruthless emperor family, this prince has to face not only foreign enemies, but also fathers, brothers, and courtiers, heh, sad." ”

Huang Lingfeng didn't speak for a long time, Lao Tzu had never been the emperor, and he was not interested in the throne, so he couldn't empathize.

He was thinking about it when Li Jiancheng suddenly spoke, "As the saying goes, Wan Che is brave and unparalleled, Wan Jun is wise and brave, heh, if you have time, you should learn more from your brother." ”

Huang Lingfeng pouted secretly, is it really good that you clearly appreciate your attitude towards your subordinates?

Still studying, if Lao Tzu is really Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanjun under Li Shimin walks around a lot, you won't be suspicious, Lord Prince?

At this moment, a voice was full of anger, but it sounded outside the hall with a little anxiety, "King Qi has arrived!" ”

Li Jiancheng frowned, looked at Xue Wanche, and tilted his head slightly.

Huang Lingfeng hurriedly got up, and by the way, he took the tea cup on the table in his hand, and then hid it in the back hall, only to see a pair of rabbits in the cage in the back room, and raised his eyebrows.

Li Jiancheng glanced at the location of the teacup and smiled thoughtfully, "Please King Qi." ”
