"Mother, Miss Hongzhu of Li Yuan has been assassinated." Murong walked quickly to Weiyang Palace and said.

"I heard about it."

In the palace, Queen Changsun responded calmly, "I also heard that people from Yanyu Tower were responsible for the attack, and that a very strange person appeared in the inner courtyard of the Li family. He actually emerged from someone else's shadow."

"It turns out that even the queen mother knows about it."

Murong stepped forward and said in a solemn voice, "This is too incredible. How can a living person emerge from someone else's shadow?"

"Maybe it's some special movement or blinding technique."

Empress Changsun speculated, "We don't have much contact with the killer of Yanyu Tower and don't know much about it. Your father will definitely investigate this matter carefully."

"My daughter is a little worried about the Li family."

Murong said seriously, "The Li family's daughter was in trouble not long ago. Now, Miss Hongzhu has been assassinated again. I'm afraid the Li family will not tolerate this."

"not necessarily."

Empress Changsun thought for a while, shook her head and replied, "The attitude of the Li family depends on the reaction of the royal family. This is different from what happened to Li Youwei. There is an essential gap between their identities."

Master and servant are not the same after all.

The daughter of the Li family, after all, has the status of a master. If something happens to her, the Li family will definitely take revenge.

However, the Hongzhu girl is just a girl with a special status in the Li family.

In other words, if what happened today was not a girl or an adopted daughter, but the Li family's legitimate son, then the Li family's attitude would probably be just four words: fight to the death.

After all, the Li family is a family of merchants. It is the nature of merchants to pursue profits and wait for the price to sell.

People, to a certain extent, also have value.

"What does the Queen Mother mean by saying that if the royal family adopts a gentle policy, the Li family will not react as violently as when something happened to the Li family's daughter?" Murong asked with a surprised look.

"Um."

Queen Changsun nodded and responded, "Judging from the strength shown by Yanyu Tower, this situation is likely to happen."

She originally thought that in this wave of tit-for-tat confrontation, the relationship between the Li family and the royal family would worsen and even come close to breaking up.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of Yanyulou at the critical moment changed the deadlock.

Today's assassination shocked people so much.

A monster that could not even be noticed by the great cultivators of the Five Realms killed the Hongzhu girl of the Li family in full view of the public. It was so powerful that it was simply frightening.

Before the royal family figures out what the monster is, they may take the initiative to ease their relationship with the Li family.

"Right."

Queen Changsun looked at the sky outside, seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Why didn't your brother come to say hello today?"

"We should go to Taixue Palace." Murong replied.

"Where is the night teaching practice?"

When Queen Changsun heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "I go there too often. When he comes to pay his respects tomorrow, I will give him a good talk."

"Mother, you know my brother's character well. There is no point in trying to persuade him to do what he wants to do." Murong sighed softly and responded.

"Now is the critical period for him to be crowned the prince. Nothing can go wrong."

Empress Changsun said solemnly, "If you make your father unhappy at this time, all your previous efforts will be in vain."

Today's situation is hard-won, and we cannot ruin a great situation because of these trivial matters.

"If it hadn't been for today's changes in Li Yuan, it might have been the best choice for Mr. Li to persuade him."

Murong said with a complex expression, "Brother is able to get to where he is today, and Li Jiaoxi deserves the most credit. My brother should still listen to his words."

"What you said makes sense."

Empress Changsun hesitated for a moment and said, "Then send someone to deliver a message. Although it is inappropriate to bother him at this time, things must be governed by authority and the overall situation should be the most important thing."

"good."

Murong nodded and responded, "Early tomorrow morning, my daughter will send someone to deliver the message."

Just because of Mu Bai's incident, the Queen and the Ninth Princess wanted to ask for help in the Li family's affairs.

Li Garden, inner courtyard.

Li Ziye and Fu Tianxi stood looking at each other. The wind blew for a moment and their bodies moved at the same time.

The palm swords clashed, each person's true energy was restrained, and the ultimate competition of moves showed even more subtlety.

Fu Tianxi, the most favored person among the four great talents of the younger generation, has unknowingly reached the forefront of the entire younger generation.

The cultivation level that is close to the late stage of the Five Realms seems a bit too fast even in this era of sudden changes in the world.

After all, even Sanzang, who is extremely talented and blessed by the aura of soft rice, is only in the middle stage of the fifth realm so far.

Not to mention, Mr. Li, who has not yet entered the fifth realm.

"Tai Chi Jin!"

At night, the two of them exchanged several moves, and when they got close to each other again, Li Ziye stepped forward, used his sword to relieve his strength, and immediately struck out with a palm, launching a strong counterattack.

Seeing this, Fu Tianxi frowned slightly, twisted his body in a strange arc to avoid its attack, and then kicked the person in front of him directly away.

Three feet away, Li Ziye steadied himself, his sword-holding hand feeling numb.

"What nonsense moves?"

Fu Tianxi did not continue to attack. He frowned slightly and said, "I know your Tai Chi Jin. Isn't that a palm technique? Why did it become a sword technique again? It's neither fish nor fowl."

"Is it bad?"

Li Ziye smiled awkwardly and replied, "I thought the completion was pretty good."

"You may have a misunderstanding about it."

Fu Tianxi said unceremoniously, "If I hadn't shown mercy just now, you wouldn't have simply taken a few steps back."

"Then I'll study it further."

Li Ziye responded awkwardly, "Lao Fu, do you have any suggestions?"

"No."

Fu Tianxi shook his head and said, "Very few people in the Suzaku Sect use swords. My swordsmanship can only be said to be average. It may not be as good as yours. I don't have any suggestions, but"

Having said this, Fu Tianxi paused for a moment and continued, "Swordsmanship has always been focused on offense and supplemented by defense. This is the characteristic of swords. Although there is no distinction between high and low in martial arts, each has its own strengths.

Palm skills can achieve both offense and defense, or even focus on defense. However, have you ever seen sword skills used for defense? If you want to defend, what kind of sword should you use? Picking up a wooden board from the ground is easier than using a sword.

"

"It seems to make sense."

Li Ziye listened to the words of the Holy Son in front of him and nodded thoughtfully.

What this grandson said was indeed rough but not rough.

He had always wanted to incorporate Tai Chi Jin into his sword technique, but he had forgotten the essence of the sword.

It's a bit stupid to use a sword to defend.

It's really not as good as picking up a wooden board on the ground, which can be used for offense and defense, and can also be used as a brick.

He actually went the wrong way again...

"Besides, your sword is not pure enough."

Seeing that it was already spraying, Fu Tianxi no longer hid it and continued, "Compared to Bai Wangyu, your swordsmanship is like a hodgepodge. It seems to be the best of hundreds of schools of thought, but in fact, it's all fancy and messy.

"

"Is it so unbearable?"

When Li Ziye heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm already complimenting you. At least, I'm complimenting you on how good your swordsmanship looks."
