Chapter Twenty-Four: The Jungle Eats the Strong
......
Wonju is especially beautiful at night.
The brilliance spread everywhere, and the rising Kong Ming lanterns swayed in the sky like stars.
This is the annual illumination party in Yuanzhou, and the flow of people on the streets at night seems to be more, and by the night, Xuanyuan Yue is also willing to take a walk in this kind of place to soothe his mood.
"Take a look and take a look! Fresh sugar gourd feed~"
"Brother. โ
A cute little girl jumped up and down and pulled her brother and shouted excitedly, "Brother brother, I want to eat sugar gourd~"
"Uh..."
"Okay, you can only eat one bunch. โ
"Okay!~Brother is the best~"
"The sugar gourd is so sweet~ I like my brother the most......"
โ......โ
Xuanyuan Yue leaned on the roof of the tiled house, looked at the bustling crowd, and took out Xiao Yu's life jade from his arms, and the life jade exuded a faint luster, as if implying that the owner of his jade was in Xuanyuan Prefecture. The red rope was connected and hung around his neck, and his lonely back was stretched by the moonlight, and he was in a daze there.
"Yu'er. โ
"Is the wind chill better..."
A cute figure appeared in my mind, from a bouncing child, a follower who loves to follow him, and gradually grew up, to a beautiful and lovely girl...... until it disappears from sight.
Looking up at the stars, the quiet night sky contrasts with the noisy streets.
In the past, I just wanted to spend my life quietly, live a quiet and comfortable life, and I didn't want to be restricted, let alone be noticed by the world, until ...... Lost her.
The day she left, Xuanyuan Yue discovered her weakness. He stroked the life jade on his neck and said to himself: "This is still the world where the weak eat the strong..."
Coming to the other world, the laws of society remain the same.
"After my injuries healed, I began to cultivate Tiangang Qi with all my might. โ
While he was thinking in his heart, he hadn't planned his cultivation method yet, when the noise of the street interrupted his train of thought.
"Cleared, cleared!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"When the prince arrives, kneel down for me first! and then get out of this street!"
This is a heavily armed Praetorian Guard, looking at the single-wheeled cart with a dragon pattern, he knows that it is Li Wei who is coming, because only he dares to use the dragon pattern.
The relationship between the emperor and Li Wei is notoriously good, but Li Wei's reputation is not very good, and his methods are brutal and vicious, so the common people dare not touch him and bow down to him as the emperor.
"Meet the Prince......"
Everyone on the street hung their heads and knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the ground, and they didn't dare to move.
Xuanyuan Yue's hatred for Li Dian is deep in the bone marrow, and now he has even changed his plan to assassinate Li Dian, preparing to torture and destroy him with the most cruel means, so that he wants to die, and he can't die. He can see the situation on the street very clearly, and he is calculating in his heart, when to let the emperor's "good brother" "return to heaven" in advance, in this case, Li Dian, the old guy, should be in pain for a long time at his brother's funeral, right?
"Hehe, I'll start with you. Xuanyuan Yue squinted his eyes and thought, it is said that the strength of this prince's strength is around the fourth grade, plus he has a large number of strong people around him to protect him, it is indeed not easy to kill him.
Look back at the street
"Eh~ This is okay, take it away. โ
Li Wei wanted to choose a woman who knelt down on the street like a cabbage, but if the woman's husband came out to stop her, he was stabbed to death by the Praetorian Guards.
"Bi'er...... You can't catch Bi'er and leave......"
"Poofโ"
When a man saw his wife being arrested, he cried out to stop him, but in an instant, he was assassinated by a heavily armed soldier, and another soldier wiped his throat, and he didn't even have a chance to scream, so he died.
Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Yue clenched his fists, the methods of these guards were extremely cruel, and it is conceivable how many innocent civilians Li Wei had killed before. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he slowly approached the carriage troops, the fish intestine dagger flicked in the palm of his hand, and if he had the opportunity, he would forcibly urge Qi to assassinate Li Wei.
Shout!
When Li Wei "selected" another girl, several figures popped up on the opposite street, and their goal was to kill the prince.
"Escort!"
Civilians fled one after another, fearing that they would be affected, and Li Wei's Praetorian Guards quickly lined up, and a bloody battle began, with the sound of weapons clashing through the streets. Xuanyuan Yue hid in the corner of the wall, found a few flaws in the array, and wanted to rush out to assassinate Li Wei many times, but the colics on his body told him that he couldn't be reckless.
The fighting became quieter and quieter, and finally the voice of the Praetorian Guards lined up: "Assemble! Report the number!"
"Report to the deputy! The third platoon wounded five people, no one died! Kill three assassins! Five, six, and eight, report is complete!"
"Keep going. โ
"Roger!"
โ......โ
Whew-
Xuanyuan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Fang Cai did not directly rush up to fight, even the Tiangang Master of the fifth rank was easily killed, he was counted as an injured sixth rank, how good could it be? The true strength of the Imperial Guards' army is worrying.
The most frightening thing was the man in Mingguang armor next to Li Wei, who had never made a move, had been quietly staying in the carriage, and had not felt his true level at all.
The car gradually moved away, Xuanyuan Yue only walked out at this time, and many ordinary people also came out of the hidden place, and the people on the street were chattering.
"The brutality of this prince...... I have seen it today......" After seeing the prince leave, some people did not shy away from saying.
"Alas, the loving little couple next door to my house is gone..."
"Shhhh You should be quiet, you will not be afraid that the prince will come back and kill. โ
"Let's bury him alive together, so don't talk about it again......"
"Alas......"
Listening to their discussions, we walked through the East Gate Street, and further north was the Yuanbu Mansion.
After this incident, Xuanyuan Yue's desire to assassinate Li Wei became stronger.
......
Inside the guest room
"Don't underestimate the financial resources of this kind of pharmacy, even the medical craftsmen of the pharmacy are ranked in the list of the most lucrative professions in the country today. โ
"Oh, no wonder the millions of transactions, they didn't even blink an eye, and said that they would ask for more than 100 Nine Zhuan Huadan a month. โ
"More than 100 pills a month? yes, you go to refine the pill for a month, and you can pay off the resurrection fee, see how easy it is for you to make money, or I will quote you the original price of medical expenses, no need to give a triple discount, hehe..."
โ......โ
After listening to Xuanyuan Yue's experience of going to the Xuanyuantang Pharmacy, Hua Shan snatched his diamond card back and put it in his pocket.
Grabbing the card so quickly, Xuanyuan Yue was speechless for a while: "This is Yu'er's card, don't you leave me a little?"
"Alas, what to keep, the county lord is not short of money, and now you can refine the pill, and there is the strongest true qi in the world, and the big buyer of Xuanyuan Hall, a few million is not a matter of reaching out?"
Hua Shan turned his head and continued: "Do you think our alchemist's true qi will recover so quickly? Let's just talk about that Nine Yuan Treasure Master, he wants to practice the Nine Yuan Gang Hua Dan once, and he needs to rest for the same amount of time in order to recover the true qi in his body. โ
"So slow?" Thinking about it, after the alchemy was over last night, Qi Li also recovered quickly within half an hour.
"You should know Li Wei very well, right?" Xuanyuan Yue asked, in fact, he originally wanted to hide this topic, after all, Hua Shan is also a member of the imperial court, so if he says it directly, he is afraid that it will affect his interests or responsibilities.
"You know, it's the cruel prince who is idle, right?"
Unexpectedly, Hua Shan did not shy away from saying it, it seems that he is not the prince's person.
