Chapter 2: Besieged
Longfei City was bustling, the cries were endless, Xiaobai looked around curiously, and his cute appearance attracted many women to look back frequently. The middle-aged armor soldier led Lu Yan and Lao Hei through the wide streets and alleys crisscrossing the city, and finally stopped in front of a manor.
"Liu Mansion!"
From the outside, this mansion is very ordinary, the gate is closed, and two mighty stone lions are erected in front of the door. However, Lu Yan knew that the surname Liu was the surname of the royal family of the Han Kingdom.
The middle-aged soldier pushed open the door, and the three of them did not stop and went straight into the house. The interior of the mansion is very large, with pavilions, rockeries, and ponds, and a team of sergeants in steel armor are constantly patrolling, and there are many people with high cultivation lurking in the dark. Among them, there are still a few strong blood qi rushing into the sky, and the guards are deep and strict.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in this courtyard, two of you, please!" the armorer stopped in front of an arch and spoke.
Lu Yan and the two glanced at each other, nodded, and stepped in. I saw a pavilion on the pond in the courtyard, a figure wearing a golden robe, standing with his back to them, and a beautiful maid next to him, holding a white jade wine jug.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Lu Yan and the others stepped forward and gave a military salute.
"Haha...... You're finally here!" said the prince, turning and patting them on the shoulder, very happy.
The strength of the prince is on par with Lao Hei, and he is not far from the eighth layer of gas storage. His eyes were bright, his face was fair, and there was a slight fierceness between his eyebrows, Lu Yan was quite surprised, he felt that the prince was very familiar, but there was absolutely no such face in his memory.
"Hehe......" The prince waved his hand to retreat the maids and guards, and took out a human skin mask from his arms and put it on his head.
"Longquan!" Lao Hei thrust the mountain axe into the floor, stepped forward, and beat the prince's chest, "It's really you!"
"You are really the prince!" Lu Yan was also surprised.
"Come, come, come! Let's drink and talk!" Long Quan pulled the two of them to sit down and poured them a glass of wine.
"Good wine!, change the big bowl!" Lao Hei took the wine glass and drank it all, feeling very unpleasant.
"Okay, come on, bring all the fine wines I treasured!" Long Quan immediately ordered. In just a moment, someone brought seven or eight jars of mellow wine, and a few exquisite side dishes, and the three of them chatted while drinking until the sunset!
Longquan's real name is Liu Yunjun, and he was named after the Longquan sword in his hand when he joined the army. The Longquan sword is also a divine weapon, and the sword body is engraved with the seven-star logo and the flying dragon pattern, which is vivid and natural, but Liu Yunjun plated it with a layer of mercury at the beginning, which made it look plain.
They discussed many topics, including the thrilling experience in the haunted house, all kinds of strange things in the rivers and lakes, and the intrigue in the temple, and finally they talked about Zhao Yunfei.
"When General Zhao's body was brought back, he was ambushed, and the Qinglong Glaive was lost!" Long Quan took a sip of wine with some sadness, "I already know that it was the Dongming Empire, the King of Qi, and the Mandarin Duck Pavilion invited by my father to make a move!"
"This" Lu Yan and Lao Hei looked at each other speechlessly.
"But the general's knife must be returned to the Zhao family!" Long Quan stopped and said firmly, "I'm also investigating who made the shot, and I actually did everything without leaking!"
"It must have been done by Qi Fang!" Lao Hei slammed down the wine bowl and was furious.
"No! It's complete, General Qi Fang was demoted to a civilian because of the last Qi-Han dispute, and he didn't ask about military affairs all day long, and now the commander of Qi is also complete!" Long Quan shook his head as he stared at the wine in the bowl.
"I'll get it back!" the old black slammed to his feet.
"Old Black, don't be impulsive!" Lu Yan grabbed his shoulder with one hand and sat him down, "It's been so long, do you know where the knife is?
"Then that's it!" Although Lao Hei was not convinced, he knew that what Lu Yan said was true, so he grabbed the wine jar and poured wine in a muffled voice.
"What he did was extremely mysterious, I mobilized all my strength, but I still found nothing!" Long Quan patted Lao Hei's shoulder, his eyes narrowed slightly, "However, I will continue to investigate, I don't believe that they will leave any traces!"
"Well, having you is much better than the two of us Commander Band!" Lu Yan said with a sip of wine.
"There is one more thing, you must be cautious!" Long Quan put down the wine bowl he had just picked up, and said very seriously, "According to the information I have received, there are Mandarin Duck Pavilion killers who will target you, and there will also be cultivators and strong people who will take action! It is the Li family who wants to kill you, but there are also the Liu family, the Li family, and ...... behind The shadow of the Sword Sect!"
"Damn! What a big show, you really look up to us!" Lao Hei put down the wine jar fiercely, cursed in a low voice, and then asked curiously, "Where did the Li family come from, why have you never heard of it?"
"Li family?" Lu Yan also looked at Longquan in surprise, walking the rivers and lakes, the size and strength are complicated, but everyone who can be ranked must keep in mind, this is necessary common sense. But the so-called Li family, he really heard of it for the first time.
And for the others, he was not surprised to kill himself. In front of the haunted house, he had a grudge with them, and Xia Da also killed the strong people in their clan, and the contradictions between the two sides can be regarded as irreconcilable. But Lu Yan didn't remember what Li family he had a holiday with.
"Huh...... The Li family!" Long Quan chuckled and took a sip of wine, "The Li family is not even a second-rate family, but it has raised a good girl, beautiful as a flower, and was selected as a concubine by the fourteen princes of the Dongming Empire. ”
"Dongming Empire?Fourteen Princes?I remembered!" After pondering for a moment, Lu Yan shook his head with a wry smile, and roughly described the grudge with the Li family in Longmen City.
"You will stay here in the future! Even if the killer of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion comes, there is nothing to do!" Long Quan said.
"Huh...... We plan to leave tomorrow and head to Wanshengmen. Lu Yan smiled and clinked bowls with Long Quan. As the crown prince, Long Quan has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he can't make any mistakes, the killer of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion is cold-blooded and ruthless, it is impossible to consider all the people in the world, if he annoys them, anything can be done. In case Longquan has three long and two short, the Han Dynasty will definitely be turbulent, and then it will inevitably be full of life, which the three of them know very well.
"I'm sorry!" After a moment of silence, Longquan poured several large sips of spirits. Distinguishing between the ripe and the heavy, and learning to give up, this is the education he has received since he was a child, but this time he gave up, he felt great difficulty and great heartache!
"What are you talking about!" Lu Yan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Grass! where are there so many things, it's safer to go to Wanshengmen than you!" Lao Hei also said with a mouthful of wine, "Keep drinking!"
......
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lu Yan and Lao Hei went out of the city. Before parting, Long Quan gave them a large number of pills, silver tickets, and two human skin masks. There are also two tokens to ensure that the two of them can travel unhindered in the Han Dynasty.
They crossed the mountains all the way to the Wanshengmen. During this period, there were no difficulties, and the killers of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion did not seem to have discovered their traces, and they seemed to be brewing something, so they did not make a move. However, the two of them didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, Mandarin Duck Pavilion is the number one killer group in the mainland, how can it be a waste of fame!
"Ah ghost, if you cross this mountain again, you will reach the Great Korean Territory!" The one who opened his mouth was a pale-faced bearded man with a meter-long axe pinned to his waist.
"Yes, it's not far from Wanshengmen after passing through Korea!" They were Lu Yan and the others, the two of them were dressed in disguise, under the alias Ah Ghost and Kuroko, and Xiao Bai was jumping back and forth on the big tree in the distance.
"Stop!" Lu Yan, who was running like a fly, suddenly stopped, pulled out the ghost head knife, and said in a low voice, "We are surrounded!"
"Bang!" Lao Hei quickly put on another axe handle and waited for it......
