Chapter 197 The Woman in Red
Xu Yuan disappeared, the guqin in Qifeng Pavilion was still there, and there was bursts of fairy music, but the lobby was completely silent.
Waking up at dawn, many people are still indulging in the gentle village, but also many people have already dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast. In the whole lobby, there are not only Xu Yuan and Li Yunqing, but also some wealthy businessmen and their bodyguards .
Most experienced people have already seen the situation in the field clearly, but no one stepped forward to stop the conflict, they all retreated silently, watching with cold eyes.
Vendetta conflicts are common in this world.
No one wants to be the hero of reconciliation when the situation is unknown, especially when the strength of both sides is unfathomable.
Some people with sharp eyesight have jumped out of the window and jumped off the cliff regardless of their image.
But if the guests don't act, the guards hired by Qifeng Pavilion will naturally be on top.
Because of the gold-absorbing ability of Qifeng Pavilion, the level of worship here is quite high. She is a fourth-rank enchanting woman and the old bustard here.
With enchanting curves and fluttering sleeves, she jumped from the floor and landed between the six brocade-robed men and Li Yunqing. The woman looked around and said with a smile:
"Ouch~ what misunderstanding is this, you gentlemen? This small shop of the slave family can't stand your toss. Give our Jiaofang division a face, and you have conflicts, go outside."
Before the words fall, the blade comes first.
The fight, or the assassination has already begun.
The six brocade-robed men may have strange auras due to their different cultivation methods, but their strength is only similar to the fourth-grade fusion body set by Dayan.
A short blade was thrown by one of them, cutting through the void and galloping towards Li Yunqing like lightning!
"Ding-"
Just halfway through the flight, it was blown away by a stretch of red silk, and it was deeply nailed into the pillar beside it, making a buzzing sound.
It is the enchanting old bustard.
Her charming face immediately turned cold:
"Although I don't know who the master of your family is, the Secretary of Jiaofang is not something you can do wild!"
The six brocade-robed men did not speak, but looked at each other, and at the same time, shadows of their hands were flying, and a silver light suddenly appeared, and countless small flying blades spread all over the entire lobby almost instantly, and if the eyes were startling, one could find these flying blades. There is a kind of thin line that is almost invisible to the naked eye between the blades.
Densely spread all over the entire hall.
The enchanting bustard wanted to stop her, but when she shot the red water chestnut, she was directly cut to pieces by these thin threads.
At this time, one of the brocade robed men said in familiar Yan dialect:
"No offense, just stay quiet, our purpose is to find that prince to recover my master's money."
The voice has not yet fallen,
Eunuch Hou's figure suddenly appeared next to the man in brocade robe who was talking, and he slammed out his palm.
The speed was as fast as a ghost, but the man in the brocade robe seemed to be able to keep up with his speed, barely pulling out the short knife at his waist.
The palms and swords met, but there was a sound of gold and iron.
"boom!"
The man in the brocade robe directly coughed up blood and flew upside down, almost smashing through the special brick wall inside the Qifeng Pavilion
Qifeng Pavilion is nine floors high, the upper four floors are private room lofts, and the lower five floors are in the shape of a deep well as a whole, with a large and elegant lobby.
Xu Yuan stood by the railing on the fifth floor watching the fighting in the lobby, looking a little tired.
Treading Void and Slashing Strength is strong, but it also consumes a lot.
In order to avoid the exposure of the saint's remnant soul, he used his own source of qi, and the effect of the sixth-grade cultivation was almost the same as that used by Qin Mo back then.
That is a distance of more than ten feet.
In other words, the people below this distance actually know that he is here, but they just have no time to pay attention to him.
But there is really no need to pay attention to him, after all, he is just a guide.
Just as he was thinking, his eyes suddenly met in the air.
Li Yunqing in the lobby looked up at him.
Xu Yuan smiled and cupped his hands at him:
Thanks, my brother is worried.
Li Yun also arched his hands at him, looking at his mouth, as if saying:
Brother Zhou, it's great that you are fine.
Xu Yuan didn't continue to reply, and went to watch the play.
The remnant soul of the saint sounded from the bottom of his heart with a slightly joking voice:
"At the feet of the emperor, these people are really brave to assassinate the current prince."
Xu Yuan replied casually after hearing the words:
"People don't even know that this kid is the prince. It is estimated that the kid has done something shameful with the identity of the prince."
The saint's remnant soul paused for a moment, and asked with a smile:
"In that case, won't you help me, kid?"
"Shall I help?"
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes when he heard the words, staring at the fight below: "Six fourth-rank masters merged to fight a third-rank great master, what can I do to help? You can't expose it yet."
The following battle is in full swing, the third-rank grand master is facing the fusion, and the gap between them is really huge.
However, the coordination between the six fusion bodies was excellent, and those thin, blade-like lines all over the lobby obviously restricted Eunuch Hou's performance.
It's just a pity that this stalemate is only temporary. A battle of this level is probably worth a while, and the foundation of the Xifeng Pavilion will have to be demolished.
At that time, the advantage of the terrain will be lost, and the few fusion bodies below will be lambs to be slaughtered.
Daoyun is no joke.
The remnant soul of the saint laughed:
"Boy Xu, you don't think that the only ones who come to assassinate him are the six fusion bodies below?"
Xu Yuan's gaze was still fixed on the lobby below, without random glances:
"You mean besides the six fusions below, there is also a great master hidden?"
The remnant soul of the saint did not hide:
"Probably yes, I sensed it once before, but only once. If I don't alarm her, I'm not sure where she is?"
Xu Yuan shrugged when he heard the words:
"It doesn't matter, I will run away."
"Since you have to run away, what are you doing here?" The saint's remnant soul spoke teasingly.
“.”
Xu Yuan stared down, with blood shining in his eyes, and did not speak immediately.
Li Yunqing, who caught a glimpse of the outside of the battle, took out a crossbow-like instrument and aimed at one of them to fuse.
Lee drink, and it rang instantly.
"Brother, be careful!"
"." Li Yunqing.
"." The saint's remnant soul.
The crossbow arrow slipped down the void, and the fusion assassin who was suddenly awakened narrowly escaped.
Clenching his fists tightly, Li Yunqing put away his crossbow, raised his eyes and gritted his teeth and said with a smile:
"Ah, thank you so much Brother Zhou."
"You're welcome, it should be." Xu Yuan smiled slightly.
The remnant soul of the sage seemed to understand what Xu Yuan meant:
"You want to kill him?"
Xu Yuan replied very casually:
"Didn't he also want to borrow a knife to kill me?"
As he spoke, he snorted in his heart: "Oh, I was forced to wait for someone to come over and ask him to remind him, but this kid actually wanted to trick me."
At present in the Zongmen, the royal family and the Prime Minister's Mansion should indeed avoid internal friction.
He understands this, and so does the third prince below.
So I won't kill them deliberately.
But things are not binary,
Now opportunities are coming to my lips, and I really can't justify it if I don't use it.
“.”
The saint remnant soul did not say a word, but rolled his eyes.
"I suggest that you can leave. The third-rank assassin in the dark seems to have made a move, and it seems to be the top card named Chu Jingyi."
Xu Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words.
The number one character in Qifeng Pavilion, Chu Jingyi, is actually an assassin?
But he was relieved immediately, there are many things in this world that can cover up one's cultivation.
Now it seems that the assassination was not accidental, and those young masters in brocade robes are probably the helpers recruited by the news that Chu Jingyi sent.
Thinking to this point, Xu Yuan said loudly without any hesitation:
"Junqing, since you have made up your mind, Zhou will not get involved in this matter. See you in Dijing!"
While talking, without waiting for Li Yunqing below to reply, Xu Yuan rushed towards the window on the fourth floor of Qifeng Pavilion, ready to jump off the cliff and run.
It's a pity that accidents always come faster than planned.
When Xu Yuan just ran to the window rail, the ceiling behind him collapsed with a "bang"!
“.”
Among the splashes of sawdust and masonry, Xu Yuan looked back, and saw two figures among the debris.
Borrowing some of the power of the saint's remnant soul, Xu Yuan did see the situation behind him clearly.
Under the vision blessed by the saint's remnant soul, time seemed to stand still for a moment.
One of the two figures is an acquaintance.
I just saw Chu Jingyi, the top card in Xifeng Pavilion who was molested by the prince, before going downstairs.
while the other does not know,
With a soft face, he is a man, or a eunuch.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan immediately reacted.
There is actually a hidden servant beside this little coin.
Damn it, this guy surnamed Li has always had the chance to win, let's just play with him.
time continues,
Two people broke through the top, one was above and the other was below.
The stunningly beautiful Chu Jingyi must have been ambushed, stepped on by the stern-faced eunuch, the powerful impact smashed through the floor after floor, and kept falling down!
finally,
The two were at the bottom end, and with a "boom", a deep pit about two meters was smashed out in the lobby.
Xu Yuan stood beside the smashed hole, looked down, and sighed.
Yes, these assassins are really useless.
I saw Chu Jingyi below was pierced by the **** with two short knives through the pipa bones on both sides of the incense shoulder, nailing her to the ground.
And there seemed to be some kind of source qi fluctuations on the two short knives, constantly interfering with Chu Jingyi's condensing of source qi.
Being attacked by surprise, the battle between the two great masters who are good at hiding was decided in an instant.
And at this time,
The sound of the zither reverberating in the Qifeng Pavilion also became soothing.
Seeing the scene below, Xu Yuan cursed in his heart:
"Old man Luo, how do you do things? This Li Yunqing is surrounded by such a great master, and you didn't notice?"
The voice of the saint's remnant soul is very innocent:
"You told me not to expose it? I don't dare to release my soul power at all."
"If this person suddenly attacked me, would you be able to react?" Xu Yuan said.
The saint's remnant soul should be taken for granted, and he looks very reliable:
"Of course it can, as long as you do it, there will be fluctuations in the source energy. With the speed of the third grade, I can still react to it, old man."
Xu Yuan said nothing more, turned around, put his foot on the window rail, and was about to jump off the cliff and run.
But at this time, Li Yunqing's laughing voice came over:
"Brother, the matter has been settled, why are you running in such a hurry?"
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's movements also froze.
Without exposing the saint's remnant soul, it is impossible for him to run away from the hands of the two great masters.
Reluctantly walked back to the railing, met Li Yunqing's smiling gaze, and cupped his hands:
"His Royal Highness has planned so well that he can recognize that Chu Jingyi is someone else's spy?"
While speaking, Xu Yuan turned over and jumped, and with a few maneuvers, he returned to the lobby again.
At this moment, the lobby was in a mess. When Chu Jingyi was subdued, those brocade-robed assassins who had integrated into the fourth rank immediately scattered and fled in all directions.
The mission failed, and they needed to save their lives to deliver the information.
The new **** Grand Master went after him, and Eunuch Hou returned and stood quietly behind Li Yunqing.
The sound of the piano in the lobby gradually came to an end.
Li Yunqing looked at Xu Yuan and smiled:
"It's absurd, I didn't see it before."
As he spoke, his eyes were slightly cold, and the topic changed:
"However, this group of Japanese Japanese pirates actually infiltrated my Jiaofang Division. It seems that some people really don't want their heads."
"Japanese pirates in Japan?"
Xu Yuan's eyes were a little strange, and he glanced sideways at Chu Jingyi, who was nailed in the hole with a short knife: "Why did they assassinate Your Highness?"
Hearing this, Li Yunqing walked up to Xu Yuan, put his arm around Xu Yuan's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Hey, Zhou Chen, you're out of touch now. I still like the way you call me brother, or Yun Qing."
"." Xu Yuan.
"As for why they assassinated me, I just borrowed a little money from their daimyo. Let's not talk about that, let's go and see the Dongying female thief."
While talking,
Li Yunqing walked shoulder to shoulder with Xu Yuan and walked to the side of the pothole, let go of Xu Yuan and leaned over, brushed the woman's fair cheek with the back of his hand, turned around and said to Xu Yuan with a smile:
"Zhou Chen, now I have time to train this fierce horse, are you interested in joining us?"
Chu Jingyi was lying on the ground, with blood overflowing from the corners of her rosy lips, she stared at the two dudes beside her, then closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Xu Yuan coughed lightly and cupped his hands:
"Cough, I don't have any hobbies for the time being. Now that His Highness is safe, Zhou will take his leave first."
Li Yunqing didn't stop him when he heard the words, he just got up and smiled:
"You and I, Zhou Chen, are considered life-and-death friends when you are assassinated this time. This love, I will never forget it."
Speaking of this half, the sound of the piano in the attic became as quiet as clear water.
Hearing the change of the piano sound, Li Yunqing shook his head:
"The musician in Qifeng Pavilion is still playing music. He should be a deaf person, but the rhythm is very good. I really want to bring him back."
While speaking, Li Yunqing turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Then,
His narrow eyes widened slightly.
Xu Yuan on the side saw it, and followed his gaze.
I saw a woman in red sitting quietly at a table on the side of the messy lobby.
The woman covered her face with a red gauze, her two slender jade legs were leaning over the table, she was holding a lute and guqin in her arms, her sleeves were fluttering, not stained with dust, playing with her jade fingers, the fairy music that had been echoing just now was floating from her slender fingertips
Seeing a scene,
Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced sideways at Li Yunqing who was in a daze, only to find that this kid was also looking at him.
Almost at the same time, the two of them began to move back:
"Hehe, it looks like you have quite a lot of enemies, Mr. Wang."
"Brother is joking, I don't know her"
"The assassin can let you know?"
"." The third prince.
The two were talking,
The woman in red slowly stood up,
Then,
Slowly took out a sword
