Chapter 16: Blood Splattered Moon Tower (Part I)
The Fourth Heavenly Emperor Wuji still didn't go out, but he practiced the "King Kong Quenching Body Fist" a few times in the afternoon, and then locked himself in the room and didn't see anyone.
On the morning of the fifth day, Huang Wuji felt that his cultivation had increased a little during the cultivation of the "Innate Heart Sutra" on the first day of cultivation, and secretly sighed the horror of this body, the innate vitality was automatically operating in the body all the time, and even if he did not cultivate, it would automatically increase.
In an hour's time, Huang Wuji climbed from the early stage of the fifth-layer Shenwu Realm yesterday to the late stage of the Shenwu Realm, and he was only half a step away from entering the sixth-layer Tianxuan Realm, and his own strength had also reached forty-five thousand catties, which was comparable to the late stage of Tianxuan.
After practicing the "Innate Heart Sutra" and playing the "King Kong Quenching Body Fist", Huang Wuji sweated, felt much more comfortable, and some thoughts in his heart also came up.
"Someone!" Huang Wuji shouted, and within a few minutes, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the garden, and Li Chong trotted in.
"Your Highness, what are your orders!" Yesterday's assassination of Huang Wuji made Li Chong very nervous. However, because Huang Wuji had instructed him not to approach when he was cultivating, Li Chong could only stand at the outermost edge of the garden.
"Go, call a few guards, don't do more, let's go out for a walk!" Huang Wuji's face flashed a sneer, so that Li Chong couldn't help but shudder when he saw it.
"Yes, I will do it immediately!" Li Chong did not dare to slack off in his order, and turned his head to arrange manpower.
Returned to the room and let the maids serve, changed into a new dress, the gorgeous costumes set off Huang Wuji like a stunning man in the world, the maids on the side were fascinated, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, fortunately, the current Nineteenth Highness is only thirteen years old, how many years older, what woman can resist his demeanor.
Under the skillful movements of the maids, the clothes were quickly changed, and Huang Wuji looked at himself with satisfaction in the bronze mirror, nodded, and was very satisfied with his appearance.
The door was wide open, Li Chong walked into the room and looked at Huang Wuji standing in front of the bronze mirror, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, the people are ready, there are six people in total, and their skills are not bad!"
"Well, let's go!" Huang Wuji walked towards the outside of the room first, Li Chong got up from the ground and followed, and the guards guarding the door followed behind Li Chong, and a group of eight people walked towards the outside of the prince's mansion with a big grin.
Out of the prince's mansion, hesitating to be an aristocratic area, the streets were very deserted, only some patrolling soldiers, and a sedan chair carried by a family member from time to time rushed out.
The central street was one of the most prosperous streets in the entire Imperial Dynasty, and it is more of a street than a hub connecting the three major districts of Kyoto. The center street is divided into two, and the lower street is where ordinary merchants do business, and it is also the place where fireworks are located. On the other hand, the center street is a gathering place for princes and nobles, and most of the shops in it are worth a lot of money, each of which is a century-old brand.
Relatively speaking, Upper Center Street is bustling, but not as lively as Lower Center Street. People like a lively place, especially for those princes and nobles who have nothing to do, it is one of their favorite things to do to play prestige on the lower center street, plus the brothels of the green buildings are near the lower center street, and the center street at night can be said to be very lively, basically belonging to the street that never sleeps.
Over time, the century-old shops on Upper Center Street also opened on Lower Center Street. By now, the upper and lower center streets are almost indistinguishable from each other.
Huang Wuji and the other eight people came to Center Street, and it was almost noon. Huang Wuji looked at the sky and decided to find a place to eat first. When it comes to eating, the first thing that comes to mind in the dynasty is Mingyue Building, the first restaurant of the dynasty. Mingyue Tower is known as the first chef of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Donglai opened, the taste is excellent, the relative price is also very high, some rich businessmen and princes and nobles have nothing to do to eat and drink in Mingyue Tower, but also indirectly enhance the identity of Mingyue Tower.
Let everyone who goes to Mingyue Tower to eat will be superior to the people outside.
Under the leadership of Li Chong, Huang Wuji came to the Mingyue Tower mentioned by the thirteenth prince Li Zhi. It's not the first time Huang Wuji has come to Mingyue Tower, but it's all memories from more than 300 years ago, and they will remember it so clearly.
In front of the Mingyue Building, a pair of fangs and claws are like a real Pixiu stone carving erected in front of the door, the whole building is thirteen meters high, a total of four floors, all of them are built with wild thousand-year-old mahogany, just stand outside the building can smell the fragrance of food, and a unique fragrance, the fragrance seems to emanate from the mahogany of the whole building, has the effect of refreshing the mind.
Walking into Mingyue Tower, a person wearing a little second costume walked over quickly, bowed and said carefully: "Is this son here to eat!"
Huang Wuji nodded, and Xiao Er hurriedly led the way towards the second floor. There is a rule in Mingyue Tower, the first floor is a place where ordinary people and businessmen can enter, and the second floor can only be entered if the identity has reached a certain level, such as the princess or the minister, the general, etc., as for the third time, only the princes and nobles can enter, and the last fourth floor is only one person in the entire Tang Dynasty who can enter.
Xiao Er is also a person with eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have mixed up in places like Mingyue Tower. Xiao Er looked at Huang Wuji with seven guards behind him, obviously someone who was not easy to mess with, and took them to the second floor on his own initiative.
Xiao Er was going to find a seat for Huang Wuji at the window on the second floor. Huang Wuji and Li Chong also understood what Xiao Er meant. However, Huang Wuji's identity made him sit on the second floor and was seen by people he knew, and he might not know what to say.
"Xiao Er, take us to the third floor!" Li Chong said as he walked up to Xiao Er. Huang Wuji has also been to Mingyue Tower a few times before, but he forgot it for too long, this little second doesn't know himself, and he thinks he is new, otherwise he won't stop on the second floor.
Li Chong's words made Xiao Er embarrassed. At this time, there was the footsteps of a group of people going upstairs at the stairs, and Huang Wuji looked back and happened to meet the leader of the other party.
"The road is narrow!" The leader is none other than Li Sai, the second son of the Marquis of Zhenguo. "Hey, who did I say, it turned out to be His Highness the Nineteenth, how could His Highness have time to come to Mingyue Tower to eat, or how poor and sour on the second floor, haha!" Li Sai said in a weird manner, laughing.
The fox friends who followed him had Li Sai's support, and they all leaned forward and laughed loudly, and the fox fake tiger and dog were probably the group of people in front of them.
Huang Wuji squinted his eyes at Li Sai, his gaze was cold, his face became expressionless, the cold light in his eyes swept over the laughing crowd, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Huang Wuji was just about to speak, but Li Chong, who was following him, couldn't bear it, and shouted angrily first: "Bold, dare to be presumptuous in front of His Highness the Nineteenth, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes flashed with cold killing intent, and there was a big disagreement with the meaning of killing. Li Chong's naked killing intent suddenly frightened these children of the family who had never seen the real world, and the laughter disappeared one after another.
Only Li Sai was still laughing there without taking Li Chong in his eyes at all.
The son of the Marquis of Zhenguo still has a certain degree of deterrence against Li Chong. The youngest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo is now the favorite concubine of the Tang Emperor of the current dynasty, and as long as she blows the wind on her pillow a little, she can change a person's fate.
"A barking dog, I don't know if it's tied at home, and it's not good to be bitten everywhere when it's released, and it's not good to be killed, do you say it's not the thirteenth brother!"
Huang Wuji looked at the staircase on the third floor, Li Zhi, the thirteenth prince who was tall and handsome, free and not angry, was standing there, followed by a few people.
Huang Wuji looked at the few people behind the thirteen princes, and immediately guessed that the identities of several people were not under Li Sai, the second son of the Marquis of Zhenguo.
"Nineteenth brother, dogs can bite people and watch their homes, it depends on what you think, I still like dogs!" The thirteenth prince looked at Huang Wuji with a smile and faintly fought back.
And Li Sai on the side, when he heard the two of them compare themselves to dogs, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. However, his face turned up with anger, but his eyes were clear.
Li Sai's change Emperor Wuji saw it in his eyes, and there was a trace of surprise in his heart: "I can't imagine that Li Sai still has a little bit of the city, it seems that the old thirteen have also lost his eyes!"
"Oh, Brother Thirteen actually likes dogs so much, so breaking the dog's legs, will it affect the family relationship between you and my brother!" Huang Wuji's smile became more and more vigorous, gradually spreading to his entire cheeks.
"You!" Li Zhi, the thirteenth prince, re-examined Huang Wuji, his face was a little solemn, and he said with a little anger in his words: "Hehe, the brotherhood between you and me, of course, can't be broken for a dog." However, this dog likes it very tightly for his brother, and if the nineteenth brother wants to succeed, I think it will be very difficult!"
"Haha!" Huang Wuji suddenly burst out laughing, and said while laughing: "A good one likes it tightly, a dog is a dog after all, how can it be useful or a dog, if your legs are broken, you will be broken, and you can continue to use it after raising it, hehe!"
Huang Wuji said and laughed under his breath. Although Li Zhi, the thirteenth prince, did not take Li Sai seriously, his father, the Marquis of Zhenguo, was not something that could be easily offended.
And Li Sai, who was on the side, saw that Huang Wuji and the thirteenth prince Li Zhi treated him as if he didn't exist, and talked about him as a dog without any scruples, and the anger and hatred in his chest continued to breed in his heart like a flame poured with fire oil.
"Anyway, the nineteenth brother is not ready to give the thirteenth brother any face!" The thirteenth prince Li Zhi's smiling face was suddenly retracted, followed by an aggressive look like a tiger looking at Huang Wuji viciously.
"Brother Thirteen, face is to be earned by yourself, not by others to get it, your dog I have made up my mind today. As long as he has a pair of legs and doesn't want his life, he is already giving the thirteenth brother your face!" Huang Wuji was not moved by the threat of the thirteen princes at all, and always had a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
"It seems that the nineteenth brother, the decision is so!" asked the thirteenth prince Li Zhi in a deep voice.
"Yes, except for Li Sai, the younger brother doesn't embarrass the thirteenth brother, and the rest of the people only need one arm!" Huang Wuji simply made it clear and included all the ones who laughed at him just now.
"Nineteenth brother, have you ever thought about their backs!" Li Zhi, the thirteenth prince, narrowed his eyes, and he couldn't understand his half-brother.
