Chapter 17: The Assassins
At this moment in the yamen, Li Xiong's face was by no means good-looking, because he was completely afraid of Luo Tianyang's strength to please him everywhere, and at this moment, Luo Tianyang left, he was naturally full of resentment.
Li Xiong glanced at the Thousand-Handed Buddha beside him, and suddenly thought about it.
He walked up to the Thousand-Handed Buddha and untied the bracelet Luo Tianyang had brought to him for him.
"Big brother. The men behind him seemed puzzled when they saw this scene, and reminded him in a whisper.
"Shhhh Li Xiong made a small gesture to his subordinates behind him.
"Hahaha, you're a little bit of a servant. The Thousand-Armed Buddha looked at Li Xiong in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face. He shook off his somewhat numb hands that were tied, and was not polite, and sat straight down where Luo Tianyang was sitting just now.
"I know that you are a master of the Transformation Period, you have a grudge against that kid, and I also have a grudge against him, let's cooperate!" Li Xiong directly said what he thought in his heart, he wanted to pull the Thousand Hands Buddha into the water and deal with Luo Tianyang with him.
How could Li Xiong, who had always been arrogant and had no one in his eyes, be willing to suffer a dumb loss? It's just that when Luo Tianyang was in front of him, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
"Okay, you can tell me, how can we deal with him together?" The Thousand-Handed Buddha seemed to be very interested in Li Xiong's proposal, and looked at him with great interest.
"You're in the Avatar Stage, and neither of us is his opponent if we are sandwiched together, so we can only outwit us. Li Xiong's eyes rolled, "You destroy this place, and when the time comes, I will report to the court that your Thousand-Handed Buddha colluded with him to trick me into opening the box, seize the court's reward silver, and let the people of the court deal with them." You just need to pretend to be a bitter trick, pretend to be caught by me, and then confess to your comrades. In this way, we can borrow the hand of the official to solve these two thorns in the side. ”
Li Xiong snickered as he conceived his plan in his mind, as if he had seen the miserable scene of Luo Tianyang and the two being chased and intercepted by a group of officers and soldiers.
"Heh, it's a good way, borrow a knife to kill someone!" the Thousand-Armed Buddha nodded slightly, a look of approval on his face.
"yes, you think it's good, so be it, I'll take you to the cell first. Li Xiong's face was proud.
"Wait, I just said that the solution is good, I didn't say that I promised to cooperate with you!" A wicked smile appeared on the face of the Thousand-Armed Buddha.
This smile made Li Xiong creepy.
"You, you, what do you mean? You can't move now, do you, dare to talk like this?" Li Xiong was a little scared, his voice trembled, obviously showing his mood at the moment.
The officers and soldiers behind him all took out their official swords, and they didn't dare to gasp.
"Who said that I can't deal with those two boys who don't even have their hair on my own? Another point, in fact, I am not the Buddha of the Thousand Hands, the Buddha of the Thousand Hands is my senior brother. The man bared his eerie teeth, and the next second his figure disappeared into thin air, shuttling among several officers and soldiers.
Blood was sprayed in the side hall, staining the yamen red, and all the officers and soldiers were lying on the ground, their faces were dark, as if they had been sucked dry by something, their skin became wrinkled, and their deaths were extremely terrifying.
"Impossible, impossible, how can you ......" Li Xiong's face showed a look of horror, he was held in the air by one hand of the Thousand-Handed Buddha, and his feet struggled desperately, but before he finished speaking, his majestic body dried up.
The Thousand-Handed Buddha threw his withered body aside, a trace of residual blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his pale and originally gloomy eyes were blood-red at the moment.
"Aha, there is actually a cultivator in the Jindan stage, very good. His complexion quickly recovered.
"Boy, you want to seal me for two hours?" a mocking smile appeared at the corner of the Thousand-Handed Buddha's mouth.
"Since you provoked me, don't blame me for being rude. A sinister look flashed in his eyes again.
"Are you a disciple of the Tianshan Sect? Then I will wait for you on the road that you must go through to the Tianshan Sect first, and see if you are powerful or my senior brother is more powerful at that time. He glanced at the dead officials and Li Xiong with a frightened face, and his figure turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
Longxi Villa.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the sound of roosters woke Yan Jinyu up, and he woke up groggily from his sleep, feeling that the muscles and bones in his body were about to melt.
He had been frail and sickly since he was a child, and the Imperial Physician said that according to his current physical condition, he would not live to be 25 years old.
He is already 24 years old this year, and the emperor loves his son very much, so he uses Nangong Tianwen, the general of the palace guard, as Yan Jinyu's personal guard.
In the entire palace, except for one Xuan Immortal and one Jin Immortal, Nangong Tianwen ranked third in the palace, which was enough to see the emperor's love for him.
He was seriously ill, but the emperor still did not remove him as the crown prince, but sent Nangong Tianwen to take him out for medical treatment. The emperor hoped that Yan Jinyu would live, but there were people in the palace who hoped that Yan Jinyu would die on the way to seek medical treatment, whether it was sick or dead, or assassinated.
Therefore, there were more than a dozen guards who took turns guarding Yan Jinyu's door day and night, each of them was a master above the god transformation stage, and they were all guards in the imperial city, and they were enough to resist the full force of the next golden immortal. But the Emperor of Great Xia was still too naïve, after all, the outside of the palace was not as good as the inside of the palace, although most of the people who had cultivated to a high level were all in the famous and decent families. But this world is so big, it is inevitable that there are still many evil demons and demons.
Yan Jinyu has a younger brother, the third prince Yan Jinqi. There are a total of 3 princesses in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the two of them are the only sons.
If Yan Jinyu died on the way to seek medical treatment, Yan Jinqi would benefit the most, so Yan Jinqi dreamed that he would die.
Yan Jinyu got up, washed up, put on her clothes, and then pushed the door and walked out.
Although he is a prince, he has not been pampered since he was a child, Nangong Tianwen has learned a lot of truth and martial arts with him, and he has also taken Yan Jinyu to cultivate immortals. It's just that because of his physique, he has not been able to produce a golden pill so far, and he is still lingering in the foundation building period.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are awake. Nangong Tianwen was already standing outside the door, and he asked those guards to go back and rest first, and then they would experience the road later.
The Immortal City was just a place for them to stop, and the next stop, they were going to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to find the legendary divine doctor.
"Uncle, I've said everything, you can call me Jinyu when no one is around. Yan Jinyu's lips were extremely white. He looked at Nangong Tianwen, who was respectful in front of him, and smiled silently.
"Yes, Prince...... Jinyu. Nangong Tianwen was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his mind.
"I shouted to my men to get ready to go on. Nangong Tianwen saw that Yan Jinyu's body was getting weaker and weaker day by day, and he hurriedly went to ask the guards to leave early.
"Wait, ask uncle. Yan Jinyu coughed softly twice. "That girl. ”
He tilted his head and thought for a while, "Is that girl named Luo Qingshui here?"
"Your Highness, you won't be waiting for her to pay back, are you? The coils we brought out this time are rich enough, so there is no need to wait for her. "Nangong Tianwen doesn't know much about the relationship between men and women. He was already 40 years old, and he had been cultivating for nearly ten years after his ascension. So he has been living alone for 50 years. He didn't find a wife, nor did he want children, Yan Jinyu was his only child in his eyes.
"Yes, she didn't come!" Yan Jinyu finished speaking, his eyes glancing at the gray sky, and he seemed to be very disappointed.
"Then let's go!" he sighed softly.
That cute girl who looks silly, but has a sense of justice, if you can't see her this time, then I'm afraid you won't see her again.
Yan Jinyu didn't care about the 5,000 taels of silver, he knew that he was going to die, and he didn't know why he wanted to see Luo Qingshui again before he died.
"Okay, Your Highness, let's pack our things, and let's go. Nangong Tianwen made a gesture, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hahaha, you don't have to go, you all stay here today!"
Although Longxi Villa is located in the southwest of the city, there are few people around it, because there is a small bamboo forest outside.
It is about a few tens of miles in area, and almost no one can live here except for members of the royal family or the rich and wealthy.
The gloomy voice drifted between the heavens and the earth, and the gray sky, which had a tendency to be brighter, suddenly dimmed, as if it was going to rain. If you look at it from a distance, you will find that this gloomy cloud only envelops the corner of Longxi Villa.
"There are assassins to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Nangong Tianwen shouted.
Dozens of armor-clad guards came out of the window directly, and rushed to Yan Jinyu's surroundings as fast as they could, wrapping him in the center.
They didn't even dare to take off their clothes, just to be able to protect Yan Jinyu in the first place, at this moment, these young guards had no sleepiness on their faces, they all looked at the gray sky with grim expressions.
Dust was slowly flying and settling in the air, and the wind whipped up piles of leaves that swirled around.
A man in a red robe appeared, he was 7 feet tall, he didn't look majestic, and he made people feel like a rich boy passing by. He held a silver-white fan in his hand, but it didn't look smooth from a distance, but was a little uneven.
His eyebrows were dotted with cinnabar with a bright red mark, like a falcon trying to fly in the air.
He walked forward, and soon came to the gate of Longxi Villa, the dark red boots on his feet stepping on the flying dead leaves, without the slightest sound.
I saw Nangong Tianwen, who was like a great enemy, dozens of guards with cold faces, and then looked at Yan Jinyu, who was wrapped in the center with a pale face. A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Just a fly-like immortal, with dozens of little minions, also needs my help. He smiled and shook his head.
The man in red also had cinnabar on his lips, no, maybe not cinnabar, and their bright red color made the man look even more seductive and terrifying.
"Your Highness, be careful, this person's cultivation is very high, even above me!" Nangong Tianwen's face had never been so grim, this was the strongest enemy he had encountered when he left the palace this time. He couldn't see his cultivation at all, but he vaguely felt a monstrous murderous aura, and there seemed to be tens of thousands of undead roaring and roaring on his body.
Nangong Tianwen's hand holding the sword was already dripping with beads of sweat.
