Chapter 2, Section 4 Male and Female Killers
"What are we going to do now?"
"Now? I don't know. However, I don't think it's a way for us to hide and run away. Leng Qiuhe said.
"What else can we do?" the prince asked.
"I'm thinking about it, should I publicize the fact that His Highness is already in the rivers and lakes?"
"What?" the prince was shocked.
"The prince is not strange. As soon as this matter is made public, Guan Shu's people will immediately find him. Those stinky flies are annoying, but even if we still run away secretly as we used to, it won't be easy to get rid of them. In this case, why not come out openly, so that they will have some scruples and dare not start easily. Moreover, some righteous people will also help us after knowing our identity. β
"That being said. But there are still some doubts in the heart of this palace: First, when leaving Beijing, my father and emperor have already announced that we will punish this palace for three months, if we show our identity at this time, won't it make my father ugly? Second, if the person behind the scenes is crazy and reckless, then the two of us will definitely fall into a situation from which we will never recover!" said cautiously.
"Regarding the first point, Your Highness can rest assured," Leng Qiu Daodao, "When leaving Beijing, Weichen had already agreed with the Holy Lord and Guan Shu that he could reveal his identity as a last resort, but at that time, the Emperor would announce that you and I were impersonating, and he would also send the Jinyi Guard elite to arrest us and 'escort us back to Beijing'." At the same time, the 'real' prince will be invited to come out to refute the rumors. β
"Really?" the prince looked puzzled.
"It's the Crane Dance. Leng Qiuhe said with a hint of softness.
"Crane dance?" the prince was startled. Crane Dance is Leng Qiuhe's fiancΓ©e, because Leng Qiuhe does not have his own mansion, and he used to stay in the prince's mansion as the prince's companion some time ago. Crane Dance also entered the palace, and went to Taixue with the crown prince Leng Qiuhe to listen to the professor's lectures. Later, she was named "Princess Yihe" by the Queen Mother and recognized her as her godgranddaughter. This time Leng Qiuhe left Beijing, she stayed in the palace.
"Yes, it's Tsuru Mai. Although she doesn't know martial arts, she is also talented, and she has learned a very subtle art of disguise, and it shouldn't be a problem to disguise herself as Your Highness. β
"But in this way, as a stand-in for the main palace, isn't the crane dance very dangerous?" said the prince with concern.
"Well, please rest assured, Your Highness, I believe that the emperor and Old Man Guan will work this matter, after all, this matter is also the key to the overall situation. β
"Well, that's fine, it's just hard work Tsuru Dance. Otherwise, the two of you can enjoy the world and be a fairy couple that everyone envies. The crown prince knew this very well, and before leaving, the emperor had already made it clear to him. The emperor guessed that Leng Qiuhe must be an extraordinary man, and this son must be an extraordinary person, and he should not be too arrogant to him in his own capacity along the way. Moreover, Leng Qiuhe's entry was ordered by his father to help the emperor resolve the current crisis, and it can be said that he is a pivotal figure on the emperor's side.
"His Royal Highness Lao is concerned. Leng Qiuhe said lightly. When Guan Shu told himself that he wanted Crane Dance to stay in the palace, Leng Qiuhe was indeed dissatisfied. According to his original intention, he wanted Crane Dance to go back to his hometown to take care of his father and practice filial piety on his behalf. However, looking at the emperor's intentions, he has already taken Tsurumai as a hostage. It is clear that either the emperor does not trust himself. Either the emperor did not believe in his own abilities and was afraid that he would flee in fear halfway.
The prince heard that Leng Qiuhe's words were already cold, and when he talked about the crane dance, Leng Qiuhe's expression changed. In fact, the prince didn't know the emperor's purpose for leaving Crane Dance, saying that he wanted to rely on her talent, but in fact, being a hostage was the main thing. After all, among the capable people in Jinyiwei and Dongchang, there are many people who are more clever than Crane Dance.
At that moment, the crown prince said slightly apologetically: "Shaomin, I hope you don't hate your father in this matter." After all, his old man had experienced too much betrayal, and he could no longer withstand this kind of torture. β
"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates still understand this. As an emperor, you have to use the necessary means when necessary. I also know that after the incident of Tumubao and Daizong, the emperor will not trust anyone easily......"
"Shaomin ......" The crown prince already knows some old things, and the reason why Leng Qiuhe is an official is to repay the kindness of the emperor and the emperor to the Leng family. It is not difficult to hear from what he said just now that Leng Qiuhe is a little dissatisfied with the current emperor.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Wechen will definitely ensure that you return to Beijing safely. If it really doesn't work, I'm thinking of something else. β
"What's the way?" the prince wondered.
"I still have a few senior brothers," Leng Qiu Daodao, "I believe Your Highness still remembers." β
"Yes, you told me. β
"Several of them have the ability to take charge of their own affairs, and I think they probably have joined the rivers and lakes as well. If you find them, things will be much easier. β
"Are they really that good?"
"Well, it stands to reason that my martial arts should be the worst among us at the moment. Then again, in fact, it is not necessary for all of them to come: if it is only to protect His Highness, only five junior brothers and one person are enough, and if you help Your Highness to deal with the traitors and then pacify them, maybe the old senior brother will come out. β
"But now it'......"
"For now, let's hurry up!" Leng Qiuhe smiled, "We've been delayed here for a long time. β
The prince laughed when he heard this, immediately got up, dusted off his robe, and left side by side.
"Cangchang" Leng Qiuhe's long sword was unsheathed, since Mr. Zhao, the sword Leng Qiuhe picked up has been hanging on his waist, and this time is also the fourth time Leng Qiuhe has drawn his sword since that day. In two days, he drew his sword three times, killed sixty-seven assassins, severely wounded one, and revealed his strength once. In addition, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen also punished the five people------ Leng Qiuhe could no longer allow the prince to participate in the war.
There were only two people he faced this time, neither of whom was masked, but it was the first time that such a blatant killer had appeared, which also showed that these two people must have something extraordinary. The two men were a man and a woman, the man was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a white face and a short beard, and although he did not look handsome and dashing, he also gave people a sense of Sven, and the woman was twenty-three or four years old, dressed in green clothes, and her appearance was also seven colors. Both of them were as cold as ice, and they were cold.
As soon as the two of them appeared, Leng Qiuhe showed his blades, he knew that these two were real killers, killers who took money to sell their lives, and they were both masters.
The two killers also stared closely at Leng Qiuhe and the crown prince, and the two sides were silent.
"Leng Qiuhe?" the male killer asked---- it was really a very professional killer, he could see the details of the other party at a glance, and he didn't go straight to the prince as soon as he came up. And the female killer still stared at the two wordlessly.
Leng Qiuhe nodded, his eyes looking around vigilantly.
"It's just the two of us this time," the male killer said coldly, "you can shoot." β
Leng Qiuhe was inexplicably a little flustered at this time, maybe this is called fear. It's been more than ten years, and I finally feel this feeling! The first time I felt fear in my life was when I was eight years old, and I fought against wolves with four other brothers and sisters to save "Hua Yu" and "Bai Feng". At other times, even if the six brothers slaughtered the python and killed a group of vicious bandits in Gansu alone, they were not so frightened, and some were only the time they faced the wolves. But this time, the fear was stronger than last time. Because eleven years ago, there were still masters, senior brothers, and four uncles in the vicinity, and four senior brothers fought side by side. But this time, he is alone, and that's not all, he is facing a cold-blooded killer who is a hundred times more ferocious than a wolf, and the other party is two people, I'm afraid neither of them will be weaker than him. Besides, behind him is the prince, who will be the future of the Ming Dynasty.
But Leng Qiuhe had no choice, he had to take them down. So he silently used the "dragon-shaped true qi", the internal force flowed rapidly in the body, the long sword in his hand, standing proudly, and he definitely had a kingly demeanor that looked at the world, and at the same moment, the invisible pressure burst out, forcing the two killers.
The two killers had obviously felt the changes in Leng Qiuhe, the male killer snorted coldly, the saber was half unsheathed, and a fierce murderous aura rushed straight towards Leng Qiuhe and Prince Jianshen.
Leng Qiuhe was afraid that the other party's murderous aura would affect Prince Jianshen, so he hurriedly swung his sword and stabbed at the male killer, and as soon as he made a move, he was the unique swordsmanship "Lone Cloud Sword" of the "Tianhan Gate". Although the "Lone Cloud Sword" is not as good as the "Arcane Eleven Style" created by the "Arcane Evil Doctor", it can be regarded as a top-level martial art.
Sure enough, the "Lone Cloud Sword" was very good, and Leng Qiuhe forced the male killer to fight back as soon as he made three moves, so he had to take a step back and seal the knife to save himself. Leng Qiuhe didn't pursue either, and quickly turned around to protect the prince, because there was a female killer eyeing him two zhang away.
However, the female killer stood there, she didn't move, she didn't say a word, she just stared at Leng Qiuhe.
"What are their intentions?" Leng Qiuhe asked himself in his heart: they are definitely real killers, their purpose must be to kill the two of them, for this goal they can do whatever it takes, at any cost------- this is common sense. But they blatantly stood up and fought with themselves------- at least the male killer was like this, but the female killer had no intention of attacking the prince, which made Leng Qiuhe scratch his head. Could it be that the woman is the real master of the two? She first let the male killer entangle with her, so that she can find her own flaws in it, and then kill herself in one fell swoop, so that the prince is left alone. Or is it that the two of them were suspicious soldiers in the first place, and the real masters arrived later?
Leng Qiuhe was not allowed to think too much, the male killer approached with a knife again, and Leng Qiuhe had to raise his sword again to greet him. And the female killer was still standing two feet away, staring at the two people who were fighting, and she didn't even have the slightest intention of making a move.
