As a young swordsman cultivated by the Divine Sword Villa, Lu Yun naturally understood that their mission this time was to prevent King Yue from obtaining the treasure this time, so as to also eliminate King Yue's ambition to annex neighboring countries.

Although he didn't know those secrets, the information passed down from generation to generation in the Divine Sword Villa still made them realize that if King Yue started a war, it would cause a turmoil, and it would be those immortals who were going to take action at that time, and it was not something that they could solve with the Divine Sword Villa.

In order to avoid a greater disaster, the Divine Sword Villa sent Dongfang Bai and Lu Yun, but Ling'er heard about this operation, and he had to join in for a long time, as the young master of the Divine Sword Villa, Ling'er's talent was even higher than Lu Yun, but he was not as diligent as Lu Yun, so his reputation in the rivers and lakes was not obvious.

And the owner of Shenjian Villa is also a scheming person, so naturally he will not give such an important task to these three people with confidence, and there will be preparations in the future, but these details are not clear to the three of them, this is also to prevent the leakage of news, after all, after King Yue set up a secret guard, the owner did not dare to pack tickets without his own people.

And those secret guards on the other side are also deploying how to solve the three of Dongfang Bai, among them, Dongfang Bai and Lu Yun are both top masters, and that girl seems to be a good opportunity for them to start, and one conspiracy after another is generated in this small inn.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and Shen Lang, who was bored listening in the room, suddenly discovered an interesting thing, outside the room of those secret guards, a person in night clothes was lurking in the dark, trying to find out the news of these secret guards.

And Shen Lang even found out that this man in black was the brother Zhao who sat at the table next to Shen Lang during the day, and originally thought that he was a person who was content with the status quo and lived a plain life, but now it seems that he knows the identity of these secret guards, and now he is still here to inquire about the news, it seems that the identity of this person is not simple.

Shen Lang asked Rakshasa to follow the man in black carefully, wanting to see what the other party wanted to do.

The martial arts of the man in black were not as weak as he said during the day, but they were not inferior to Dongfang Bailai, and for a while, these secret guards did not find the existence of the man in black.

At this time, the short man of the secret guard took out a mirror, cut his hand with a dagger, and dripped blood on it, and a person wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown appeared in the mirror, this person was the master of these secret guards, the emperor of the Yue Kingdom, His Majesty Yue Wang.

All the secret guards knelt down and saluted in unison: "My subordinates see the king, may the king rule the eight desolations and live forever." ”

King Yue waved his hand to signal them to flatten down, and the man in black who was lurking outside, the moment he saw King Yue, his qi fluctuated slightly, which made the people of the secret guard immediately discover his storage.

The short man shouted, "Who dares to eavesdrop." ”

The dart in his hand instantly shot towards the place where the man in black was, and the other dark guards also reacted quickly and shot at the man in black one after another.

This man in black doesn't seem to reveal his identity, he began to evacuate as soon as he found out about the other party, although these secret guards are strong in martial arts, but after all, they are still inferior to this man in black, and they can't stay if the other party wants to leave.

Seeing that he was about to be escaped by the man in black, the short man took out a weapon from his arms and threw it directly in the direction of the man in black.

The man in black screamed, obviously hit by this weapon, and the short man ordered: "Chase quickly, don't let him escape." ”

Shen Lang was surprised to find that what the dwarf man used just now was a one-time use magic weapon, although in the eyes of the monk it was just a rag, but in mortals, it was often magical.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his heart moved, it seemed that this Yue Guo was indeed a little interesting, Shen Lang secretly released the black-armored zombies to stop the pursuit of these people, and he went to find the true identity of the black-clothed man with a stealth technique.

Dongfang Bai, Lu Yun and others in the room were also shocked by these people, and they jumped out of the window to see what was going on.

This group of secret guards was dragged by the black-armored zombies, and they couldn't take half a step forward, and the leader of the short men asked: "In the Yellow Lion Tiger, I don't know your honorable name." ”

For the mysterious black-armored swordsman, Huang Shihu was shocked, he didn't expect this person to be so powerful, but he helped the black-clothed man steal it, whether they were a gang or not, he decided that it would be better to find out the identity of this black-armored man first.

However, the black-armored zombies didn't pay attention to them, which made the yellow lion tiger's face gloomy, I didn't expect the other party to be so indifferent to himself, there were more people on the street to see the excitement, Hua Laosan whispered to the yellow lion tiger: "The boss has a lot of eyes, let's withdraw first." ”

Huang Lion Tiger nodded with a gloomy face, and these secret guards quickly evacuated the scene and hurried back to the inn.

Dongfang Bai and Lu Yun also stared at the black-armored zombie with a pensive face, not knowing whether the other party was friend or foe, it seemed that since they had stopped the action of the secret guard, it should not be the minions of King Yue, Dongfang Bai stepped forward and set up a friendship.

"This brother, in Xia Dongfangbai, I don't know if I can invite Your Excellency to have a drink. Dongfang Bai tried to see if he could win over such a master, after all, he was alone and could block those secret guards with unique skills.

The black-armored zombie didn't speak, and after glancing at Dongfang Bai and Lu Yun, it disappeared in front of their eyes.

This made Dongfang Bai dumbfounded, but he didn't expect the man in black to disappear like this, and he was still thinking about informing the owner of the news as soon as possible.

Shen Lang also secretly followed the injured man in black, and constantly erased the traces he left behind, after all, those secret guards were not vegetarians, and if they left traces, they could track him.

The injured man in black hurriedly fled to a ruined temple outside the city, and Shen Lang followed closely behind to see what tricks he could play.

After the man in black arrived at the broken temple, he immediately spurted out a large mouthful of blood, took out the wound medicine from his arms and wanted to stop the blood from the wound first, but no matter how much wound medicine he used, the blood still couldn't stop flowing out.

This made the man in black a little panicked, how could this be, could it be that today is the day when he lost his life, thinking of this, the man in black sat down a little resigned.

Thinking about it, he has indeed done a lot of bad things for most of his life, and now that he has turned out to be like this, didn't he think of it a long time ago, sighed, and the eyes of the man in black were a little dim.

Shen Lang walked out of the shadows unhurriedly at this time, the man in black immediately looked at Shen Lang vigilantly, made a vigilant gesture, and when he saw Shen Lang's face clearly, he exclaimed: "I didn't expect it to be you, are you also their person." ”

Shen Lang naturally understood that the people in the black-clothed people were referring to those secret guards under King Yue, Shen Lang shrugged his shoulders and said with a hint of mockery: "Do you think they can invite me?"

The black-clothed man understood as soon as he moved, if Shen Lang was the other party's person, he would have been captured a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until he escaped to this ruined temple before making a move.

"I don't know where your Excellency is sacred, you're just a dying man, what do you want from me. The man in black asked calmly.

Shen Lang snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "It seems that you also know that your life is short, if I say that I can save your life, what can I get?"

Hearing that Shen Lang was able to save his life, the people in black also had the courage to live, and stiffened their injuries: "What Your Excellency said is true?"

Shen Lang looked at the man in black indifferently: "You are like this, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?"

The man in black nodded self-deprecatingly, yes, what luxury can a person who is not far from death have now, if he can live again, what else can he not exchange.

"Well, if you can save my life, I'll be at my disposal. "The Man in Black also made his own promise.

Shen Lang took out an elixir from the bracelet and said, "Now take this elixir first." ”

The man in black watched with some surprise as Shen Lang took out an elixir out of thin air, but he still took the pill without suspicion, and the wounds on his body began to solidify in an instant.

It was the elixir that Shen Lang took out, this was simply an elixir, he could heal the injuries on his body so quickly, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Now it's just to stop your wound, but the blood clotting needle in your body hasn't been taken out yet, if you can't expel the blood clotting needle from your body within three days, you still can't escape death." ”

The face of the man in black changed again, but he didn't expect that his injuries were still not healed, Shen Lang continued: "Don't worry, since I want to save you, I can naturally take out those blood clotting needles, now you answer my question first." ”

Life and death are in the hands of others, the man in black had to answer honestly, took off the black cloth on his face, and sure enough, it was the brother Zhao in the daytime, Shen Lang already knew his identity, so he was not surprised.

"Who are you, and what is your relationship with those secret guards? Shen Lang asked directly.

The man in black was stunned, but he didn't expect that the secret that had been buried for so many years would still be revealed: "My name is Zhao Hu, and I served as the commander of the secret guards back then. ”

Shen Lang had a clear expression, and he had already guessed the identity of this Zhao Hu, otherwise he wouldn't have changed his expression as soon as he saw those secret guards.

"Then why did you leave the secret guard, how could you stay in the small city of Yuzhou with your ability. ”

Zhao Hu showed a look of reminiscence, as if the events of the year were still vivid, and said softly: "Before King Yue ascended the throne, I was already one of the commanders of the secret guards, and the original secret guards were only responsible for protecting the safety of King Yue, and at the same time being responsible for monitoring the situation of hundreds of officials to spy on the enemy, but after King Yue ascended the throne, this qiē has changed. ”

When he said this, Zhao Hu couldn't help licking his chapped lips, and Shen Lang didn't urge to wait for his narration slowly.

"Today's King Yue began to ask us to adopt more orphans for cultivation, which was originally normal, but King Yue asked us to train these orphans more strictly, although the cultivation of the secret guards was originally very strict, but King Yue asked us to train them like devils, and these orphans were completely loyal to King Yue. ”

Shen Lang said curiously: "Isn't this normal, King Yue just wants to make them more outstanding." ”

Zhao Hu shook his head bitterly: "At that time, we also thought so, and the other three commanders also suggested to King Yue, and it didn't take long for these three to disappear, and I couldn't help but want to ask King Yue at that time, but he only told me that the duty of the secret guard is to obediently obey King Yue." ”

Shen Lang wondered in his heart about King Yue's actions, these commanders were just worried that those orphans had suffered too many casualties, why did King Yue take action to clean them up.

Zhao Hu said with fear on his face: "At that time, I could only obediently obey the orders of King Yue, after all, the secret guards were born to obey only King Yue, but I didn't expect that this batch of trained secret guards, under the instructions of King Yue, in addition to the previous tasks, also continued to assassinate those ministers who opposed King Yue's decrees, and also exterminated those Jianghu sects who opposed King Yue, even babies did not let go." ”

Shen Lang understood in his heart that he didn't expect this King of Yue to be so brutal, on the surface, the Yue Kingdom was prosperous, but as the lord of a country, he secretly used such means, it seems that his ambition is really not small.

"At that time, when I was on a mission a few times, I also wanted to intercede for those innocent people, but those secret guards did not listen to my dispatch at all, although I was the commander of the secret guards, but the only master in their hearts was King Yue, since then I have been more careful, for fear of disappearing like the three of them. ”

Zhao Hu recalled this painful past, the expression on his face was already pale, and Shen Lang also understood that the companion was like a companion tiger, but he didn't expect that the Yue King's desire to control was so strong.

Later, the old minister of the court, Lord Wen, because of his opposition to the king of Yue, trained the soldiers and horses, although the king of Yue agreed on the surface, but secretly sent a secret guard to kill the fifty-six male and female veterans of the Wen family, Lord Wen is an old minister of the three dynasties, dedicated to the country, and finally died in the hands of the king of Yue, since then I have escaped from the secret guard, I am afraid that one day I will die in such an unknown way. ”

Shen Lang sighed, he didn't expect this seemingly talented King Yue to do things so viciously, he really deserved to be the emperor, and he did everything to achieve his goal.
