Li Tian woke up from a coma and found himself lying on a large bed, his body tied with bandage bags, and the place where he was stabbed by the black-clothed killer was numb.

He struggled to sit up and looked at the room he was in, it was full of ancient furniture, and it didn't look very expensive on the outside.

The door suddenly opened from the outside, and a maid came in with porridge. Seeing Li Tian sitting on the bed, he was surprised and said, "The prince is awake, I will go to inform the third prince." ”

She didn't wait for Li Tian to ask, but from the open door, she saw two armored soldiers standing outside, staring at Li Tian coldly at the moment, her eyes full of vigilance.

Li Tian found that all his belongings were gone, and he seemed to be wearing ancient style underwear inside, and his whole body was in pain, so he could only sit on the bed and wait for something to happen.

After a while, Tuo Pao Zhen walked into the room with a cold face, instructed Yahuan to close the door and find a chair to sit down, took out a blood-stained book and put it on the table, and then stared at Li Tian for a long time without speaking.

Li Tian was the first to speak, "It turned out that the third prince saved me, I am really grateful." ”

"Who are you, why do you want to help me defeat the assassins, is there anything that will shine?"

Li Tian smiled bitterly, "If I say that I inadvertently broke into the Three Princes' Mansion, I don't know if you believe it? ”

The Third Prince immediately asked, "I've searched all your belongings, and it's true that there is no such shining hammer, but there must be other strange things in the place where you came, such as that black suit made of unknown materials. ”

"This prince is in need of shiny strange things to defend himself, and I hope you can sell some to me. ”

Li Tian smiled bitterly, "I really don't have any flashbangs. ”

Seeing that Li Tian said no, the third prince pondered for a moment and said, "Whether there is or not, after all, you indirectly saved this prince this time, so I can't embarrass you too much." ”

"It's just that your identity is unknown, just breaking into the palace without permission is a capital crime, and this prince is really embarrassed how to deal with it. ”

Li Tian hurriedly said, "The third prince, please believe that I really didn't break into the palace on purpose, but only escaped to the palace garden after being chased and killed by the enemy. ”

The third prince looked into Li Tian's eyes and said word by word, "If you really came to kill me, you wouldn't come to the rescue, the fourth prince sister has always been very grateful to you, and there is a lack of loyal guards in this prince's palace, I don't know if you are willing to come to the palace to do things." ”

Li Tian recalled the scene of the battle with the black-clothed killer in his mind, and felt that he had gained a lot of benefits after experiencing this battle, at least he already had his own set of experience in using the sword.

He thought of the reason why Cheng Xiaoyao was called back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, now she should be very safe, and she is already willing to stay in the palace to do things, at least now she is very urgent to have a stable place to stabilize her swordsmanship.

The third prince kept looking at Li Tian, and said with a faint smile when he saw it, "If you are willing to do things for this prince, then stay with peace of mind, as long as you don't endanger the people and things in the palace." ”

He got up and picked up the secret book and looked at it, then shook his head and sighed, "Although the Dugu Nine Swords recorded in this secret book are exquisite, they are still far inferior to the mad dragon sword technique passed down by the royal secret of this dynasty, if you want to improve your strength, you can learn one or two tricks from me." ”

Li Tian stopped the third prince who was about to leave, and said, "Aren't you worried that I will endanger the palace if I am of unknown origin?"

The third prince showed a faint wry smile and sighed, "There are too many scheming people in this palace, I am not afraid of you more, and this prince is not afraid of your betrayal, because those who want to deal with me absolutely hate you for meddling in your affairs and helping to save me." ”

Li Tian didn't speak, he indirectly became a member of the camp of the three princes because of his move, and now he can live in this palace with peace of mind.

Before the third prince went out, he said to Li Tian, "Your martial arts are really poor, wait until you heal your injuries and practice swords with me, and finally have a subordinate you can trust, of course, the stronger the better." ”

Li Tian smiled with satisfaction, he was trying to strengthen his strength with the master, and he was very satisfied with this upcoming guard job.

For the next month, Li Tian followed the three princes every day, and when the master was in a daze, he silently practiced the Dugu Nine Swords in his heart.

The third prince was bored and practiced swords, Li Tian observed without blinking, and sometimes accompanied him through a few moves, but he got a lot of careful guidance.

As his understanding of the sword became more and more profound, Li Tian recalled the moves used by the black-clothed killer and the three princes when they were fighting, and then went to fight in person in his thoughts, and before he knew it, he had begun to become familiar with sword fighting.

He found that he now had the shadow of the black-clothed killer and the third prince in his sword, and even the secret skills of the mad dragon sword technique could be simulated, and all of this was inspired by the Dugu Nine Sword.

Of course, Li Tian would not tell these secrets, so the main thing to practice swordsmanship with the third prince was to ask for advice, and he didn't know the extent of his own swordsmanship.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the palace of the Three Princes, but Li Tian has a lot of time to practice swords while doing a good job of guarding, and there is a 100-character mantra on the last page of the secret book, which is the light skill of Dugu Nine Swords.

When he patrolled the palace every day, he was silently using the light exercises, and gradually walked faster and faster, if it weren't for the fact that there were no people in most parts of the palace, otherwise he would be thought to be haunted by ghosts.

Li Tian is now practicing light skills and swordsmanship together, but the fourth princess Tuo Pao Fang often comes to the palace to visit the royal brother, and every time she takes a roll call, she has to guard herself, which makes the eyes of the third prince Tuo Pao Zhen often weird.

On this day, the palace came to announce the eunuch and ordered the third prince to enter the palace to choose a prime minister's lady to marry.

Tuo Pai really knelt down to thank the Holy Grace, but he couldn't even get the money for the reward, so he was so angry that the eunuch walked away.

He led a team of guards out of the gate of the palace, looked back at the gate of the palace for a long time before getting into the carriage, and only then did he sigh and get into the carriage.

Li Tian was also in the escort team, following the carriage slowly in the direction of the palace, he looked at both sides of the street uneasily along the way, and always felt that something would happen today.

Kyoto in the Bactrian kingdom has a permanent population of several million, and the overall layout of the city is criss-crossed, with dozens of main streets leading to the gates on all sides to clear the flow of people.

There are countless restaurants and shops on both sides of the street, and the sound of street vendors is heard one after another, and the city is full of pedestrians.

Even if the three princes' ranks had guards in front of them to open the way, they had to slow down, and many people followed behind, speculating about who was in the carriage.

Li Tian had been carefully observing the surroundings, and suddenly noticed that many black-clothed men with sharp blades rushed out of the shops and restaurants on both sides of the street, and hurriedly drew their swords and shouted, "There are assassins!"

He and the guards guarded the three princes with their backs to the carriage as soon as possible, and the crowd screamed and pushed and ran away, which indirectly hindered the movement of the black-clothed killer.

"If you don't want to die, get out of the way! Kill only Tuo Pazhen!" the black-clothed killer shouted and picked up his sword and slashed at the pedestrians who blocked the way, and the restaurants on both sides also shot cold arrows from a height, and the crowd kept screaming and howling in pain, and actually got out of the way.

Several of the guards were wounded by arrows and fell to the ground, and the men in black rushed and quickly cut down a batch, killing them near the carriage in a short time.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more urgent, Li Tian was about to step forward to block the black-clothed killer, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw the third prince Tuo Pozhen smiling at himself calmly and signaling to get into the car.

He thought that Tuopa really wanted to get into the car to protect himself, so he immediately entered the carriage briskly and closed the doors and windows, watching the battle outside nervously, only to see more men in black appear on both sides of the road.

"They're still doing it again, I'm tired of it. Tuo Po Zhen sighed deeply.

Li Tian liked the high-paying and idle job of the palace guard, and immediately said resolutely, "Third prince, please rest assured, I will definitely protect your safety." ”

"Oh. Tuo Pozhen said lightly, and then raised his hand and pointed at Li Tian's body.

Li Tian's body was shocked and he couldn't move, but his mouth could still speak, and he said hurriedly, "What did the third prince do to me, I can't move for anything!"

Tuo Pozhen smiled, "Don't worry, I just clicked on your acupuncture points, and they will naturally be unlocked when the time is right." ”

Li Tian listened to the sound of fighting getting closer and closer outside, and said hurriedly, "The third prince, don't be joking, unlock the acupoint and let me kill the enemy." ”

The third prince did not speak and continued to change the clothes of the two, and soon changed into Li Tian's guard armor, and said with a smile, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please sit in the carriage, I will go out to fight the assassins, there is a letter hidden in the prince's clothes you are wearing now, and when you can move, find a place where no one is there and read it." ”

"Kill the assassins, protect His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" he smiled at Li Tian, then pushed open the carriage door and yelled and rushed out, quickly stopping the assassin with the guards.

"Sonorous clanging ......"

Li Tian, who was frightened, saw through the gap that Tutuo Zhen had blocked the assassin, and when the Imperial City Forbidden Army appeared in the distance, he quietly disappeared into the depths of an alley on the street.

His face turned extremely pale, making people realize that he would still die in the clothes of the prince, these three princes had been thinking about pit themselves from the beginning.

"I'm too late for help, so I ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince to forgive me. The forbidden army quickly killed all the men in black, and then knelt down to Li Tian in the carriage to plead guilty.

Li Tian was very anxious in his heart, he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, but there were thousands of forbidden soldiers outside who kept kneeling to plead guilty, and the whole street was so quiet that even the sound of needles falling to the ground could be heard clearly.

The forbidden army once again pleaded guiltily, and he had to pluck up the courage to try, "Everyone doesn't have to kneel, now that the assassin is dead, let's go back to the palace." ”

There was an obvious tremor in this voice, if the soldiers outside found out that it was not the third prince in the carriage, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Xie. Fortunately, the forbidden army all got up to protect the surroundings, and a leading forbidden army general clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, don't be surprised, this time we will escort you, and we will not let Xiaoxiao have another chance, the emperor is already tired of waiting." ”

Li Tian was horrified in his heart, how could he still have his life when he entered the palace, and immediately pushed and dragged it: "I, this prince has just been attacked, and it is really not suitable to go to the emperor to see my father today." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please be cautious, Your Majesty will let you enter the palace now, and it is a great crime for the Maharaja to disobey the will. The leader of the forbidden army clenched his fists and persuaded him, and then commanded the team to escort the carriage towards the palace.

Li Tian's heart became even more nervous, couldn't he hide today, he knew that Lu Dao should have left the palace first.

He remembered that the third prince who had designed to harm himself clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "The hateful Tuo Pao Zhen, you dare to yin me like this, I knew that Lu Dao would have let you die in the last assassination." ”

"Huh" Li Tian suddenly found that he could move, and when he got up, he saw soldiers everywhere around, and immediately sat back in his position like a deflated ball, but a letter fell from his body.

He picked up the letter and saw that there was nothing written on the envelope, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to tear it up, but finally resisted the urge to pull out the letter inside and read it.

I'm sorry, I went to the hospital for a check-up today, this chapter is a little late.
