Volume 2: Yongzhou Mansion Chapter 48: Ruthless Killing
When Lao Lu and Tang Ke returned to the Lin Mansion, the third prince had already left.
Donkey was still cursing and mocking Yang Ming's understanding. Lao Lu thought that Donkey's teaching was a bit rough.
This uncle donkey has a really bad temper and a really bad mouth.
Lao Lu didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he sat in the living room and drank with Lin Xiao and Tang Ke.
"This matter is over, I may have to go back and report it."
When Tang Ke said this, Lao Lu was stunned, but Tang Ke told him with his eyes to reassure him.
"So you're not going to the East China Sea now?"
"Aren't you planning to go to Zhongzhou first?"
After Tang Ke finished speaking, Lao Lu scratched his head, clenched his teeth and said:
"I'm not sure whether I want to go to Zhongzhou, but I definitely have to go to report on my work."
Lao Lu obviously dislikes Zhongzhou. Although he is the imperial minister appointed by the imperial family, Zhongzhou has always been a place with constant power disputes.
Even just hearing about the partisanship among officials is terrifying.
"It's not that I reject them, I just find those old guys quite distasteful to me."
Lin Xiao naturally knows this feeling. When Mr. Lin asked him to take the merit examination, he was also very reluctant.
This romantic and talented man was still the first scholar in literature, and he also served as an official in Zhongzhou for two years.
However, he finally resigned and returned to his hometown. After all, Zhongzhou is not a geomantic treasure.
In terms of comfort, the Lin family is truly comfortable in Yongzhou Prefecture.
"If you go to Zhongzhou, my old man can still speak well in Zhongzhou."
Lin Xiao suggested. After hearing what Lin Xiao said, Lu Cheng hurriedly shook his head.
Mr. Lin's temper was what he despised Lu Cheng the most at the beginning.
Although he is now a strong man in the realm of gods, and he is also the imperial envoy of the Western Regions of Zhongshu Province.
But, when it comes to Mr. Lin, Lu Cheng feels very awkward.
"I won't bother Mr. Lin anymore. I have many friends in Zhongzhou, but..."
Lu Cheng was a little embarrassed to say it, but because he participated in the world competition, he had many friends in Zhongzhou.
It's just that Master Lu Cheng was too arrogant back then, and this group of friends basically offended them all.
"What I'm thinking about now is this token. Also, it's a very uncomfortable feeling."
Lu Cheng took out the token from King Qi's secret room from his bag, and felt something strange.
"This token is probably a token of a certain sect, the nine-marked flame."
Lin Xiao looked at the token in Lu Cheng's hand with some confusion. Such pure black tokens were rare.
The nine lines of flames outside, does this have some strange meaning?
"Moreover, I sensed something on this token."
Lu Cheng recalled the feeling he had when he broke the crystal sealing the token. It seemed that there was a feeling somewhere far away.
This token was sending out certain signals, which made Lu Cheng feel a little uneasy.
After concentrating on forging his soul, Lu Cheng became extremely convinced of some sudden premonitions.
So he can conclude that the storm is coming.
Outside Yongzhou Mansion, Yuelai Inn is crowded today, and the huge lobby is empty.
Liu Ruyu stood in front of the account counter to clear the accounts. The third prince and the sixth prince were sitting in the lobby, one was smoking and the other was drinking.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open rudely.
"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper! Bring me a pot of good wine and a few kilograms of bacon!"
A man with a cruel face kicked open the door of Yuelai Inn carrying a huge package.
The Sixth Prince put down the meat in his hand, and the Third Prince exhaled a plume of smoke.
"I'm afraid you didn't see the notice outside my door. I'm closed today."
"How can Yuelai Inn in Qianlonghui Liu'er refuse guests?"
Behind this ruthless man, a rickety old man wrapped in a black robe slowly walked out.
Liu Ruyu couldn't see the old man's face clearly, but the words on the black robe were indeed very clear.
On the chest, there is a white Qing character.
"Old sir, have you heard a word?"
"I would like to ask the shopkeeper for advice."
The old man had slowly sat on a bench in the lobby, and the ruthless man also followed.
"Although the hidden dragon is silent, it is still a dragon after all."
After Liu Ruyu finished speaking, several ice picks stabbed out from the ground, directly killing the old man and the ruthless man.
The Sixth Prince and the Third Prince also retreated directly to Liu Ruyu, and the Sixth Prince had already taken out a kitchen knife.
The third prince's pipe was also empty of ash, and his bearded face showed a solemn look.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ruthless man picked up the huge package and swung it directly at the ice picks stabbing from the ground. He broke all the ice picks easily.
After he tore off the cloth wrapping the package, a huge copper bell was revealed.
"Qianlong is naturally a dragon, but the three concentrated disciples are not worthy of the dragon character."
The rickety old man leaned down, patted the ground gently, and let out a contemptuous smile.
Liu Ruyu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and her expression became very flustered.
"Who the hell are you!"
Liu Ruyu's body was shaking a little.
"You actually broke my formation so easily."
Hearing that Liu Ruyu's formation was broken, the third prince and sixth prince also showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
Being able to break Liu Ruyu's formation proves that the person who came here is evil!
Not only is his cultivation level extremely high, he is also a person who is proficient in formations!
"I don't want to embarrass you when I come here."
The rickety old man spoke very slowly, but every word conveyed an irresistible majesty.
"Tell me the whereabouts of King Qi's Black Flame Token, and I will naturally let you three go."
"The old gentleman's tone is quite serious."
The third prince said, who knew that the rickety old man didn't care at all.
"Li Shuyun, the third child of the Zong family, His Highness the Third Prince, am I right?"
"Yin Liuheng, the sixth son of the Yin family in Nanyue. Your father is Yin Fenghao, the prefect of Lizhou Prefecture in Nanyue."
"Liu Ruyu, the leader of Qianlonghui Liu'er, was the former imperial envoy of Zhongshu Province, and was ordered by the Zong family to establish Liu'er."
"Am I wrong about the life experiences of the three of you?"
The silence of the three people made the atmosphere extremely solemn.
The rickety old man was right, and this person didn't care about their identity at all.
It should be said that Liu Zi and Liu Ruyu do not have that deep background.
If you look down on the third prince's background, then who is this old man?
"I'm old and can't bully you three juniors. Jin Kuier, please play with our third prince and the others."
The fierce man grinned widely and swung the huge copper bell on his shoulder. A gust of wind blew out and all the tables, chairs and benches in the lobby were cleared to all sides.
"My name is Jin Kui! I guess Shopkeeper Liu won't pay attention to our little role. Master Qing wants me to play with some of my brothers, so come on!"
Jin Kyu?
This name is indeed a bit unfamiliar to Liu Ruyu, but judging from the aura, this Jin Kui's level is not inferior to any of the three of them.
In other words, this Jin Kui has reached the level of peak concentration and enlightenment of heaven.
The expressions of the three of them all became more solemn.
Jin Kui was a reckless man. He rushed towards the third prince without saying a word. The bronze bell in his hand hit the third prince directly.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the third prince raised the pipe in his hand, and a burst of fire spurted out from the pipe.
"Real fire? Hey, Third Prince, real fire is of no use to men!"
This reckless man actually bumped into the third prince's true fire with his body, and with a wave of his strength, he dispersed the true fire with his true energy.
"Shopkeeper, leave quickly, this person is definitely no match for us!"
Liu Zi directly saw the huge gap in strength.
Not to mention that Liu Ruyu's formation has now been completely destroyed by the rickety old man.
If the formation can still be used, the three of them have absolutely no chance of winning compared to the ruthless man in front of them.
Although the third prince has reached the third level of concentration, due to the techniques he has practiced, it is difficult to make a huge breakthrough without entering the realm of transformation.
This reckless man at the peak of his concentration is completely capable of defeating all things with his strength.
Being so straightforward is the hardest thing to deal with.
Liuzi had already rushed towards the man with a kitchen knife. Unexpectedly, the man was very agile and smashed the bell directly at Liuzi.
"not good!"
Before the third prince could finish speaking, the sixth prince was hit hard on the body by a bronze bell.
"Walk!"
Liuzi was so shocked that a mouthful of blood gushed out. Jin Kui suddenly exerted his strength, and a burst of true energy surged from the bronze bell.
"Six sons!"
The third prince roared angrily, and a burst of fiery Qi burst out from his body.
In his pipe, a huge amount of real fire formed into a huge fire dragon and charged towards Jin Kui.
"Didn't my family teach you that you have to watch others honestly when they touch you?"
The rickety old man appeared beside the third prince at some point and gently clicked the third prince's pipe.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying emotion hit the third prince's heart.
The old man broke his spell with just one finger.
This is a technique he used to condense with his spirit-concentrating weapon!
It was broken by the old man with just one finger.
"Take Liuzi away!"
The third prince gritted his teeth. This old man's state had definitely reached the state of transformation into gods, and it was not an ordinary state of transformation into gods.
Liu Zi was hit by the big clock and was thrown out, flying towards the cabinet behind Liu Ruyu.
Liu Ruyu waved her hand, and a large amount of water emerged from behind her, catching Liu Zi and floating in mid-air.
"Invincible, retreat!"
Liu Ruyu circulated her true energy, and the entire wall of Yuelai Inn shook violently.
"As expected of Shopkeeper Liu, you not only left the talisman array underground, but also the talisman arrays you left on this wall."
"However, if I can't find the Black Flame Token today, I will bloodbath the entire Yongzhou Prefecture!"
The walls of Yuelai Inn were shaking crazily. After a violent fluctuation, only broken walls were left here.
Liu Ruyu, the third prince, and the sixth prince have all disappeared.
Among the ruins, Jin Kui used the copper bell to sweep out a flat ground.
The rickety old man shook his head and sighed when he saw that the three of them had fled.
"This is forcing me. As I get older, I don't want to take so many lives anymore."
"Old Qing, if you don't want to get involved, then let me bring my brothers to a big show for him!"
"If we turn him upside down, we can definitely reveal the Black Flame Token!"
Seeing Jin Kui's impatient temper, Qing Lao smiled.
"Forget it, then this can only be blamed on the people of Yongzhou Prefecture."
After saying that, countless black figures gathered on the ruins, hundreds of people gathered.
There was a kind of fanaticism on these people's faces.
A kind of evil and uncontrollable fanaticism.
Not long after, the door of Lin Mansion was forcefully knocked open again.
"What's wrong? Why did Liu Ruyu knock on Lin's door?"
Lin Xiao got up in the middle of the night and hurriedly changed his clothes, and under the guidance of his servants, he went to the flat ground in front of the main hall.
"Shopkeeper Liu said that Yuelai Inn is gone!"
Lin Xiao was startled and hurried over. When he saw Liu Ruyu, she was not as graceful as she was. There was embarrassment written all over her face and body.
The third prince's expression was still one of surprise and disbelief. The sixth prince who fell to the ground could only breathe out, not in.
"This! Who did this! How could it be so seriously injured!"
Lin Xiao was shocked and speechless for a moment.
After all, Liuzi's strength is at the peak of the second level of concentration. He almost reached the third level of concentration. How could he be beaten like this?
Still at her Yuelai Inn, Liu Ruyu's.
"It's hopeless. His heart pulse has been severed and the blood vessels in his lungs have been ruptured."
Liu Ruyu gritted her teeth and said, her eyes full of bloodshot eyes.
She held back tears and slammed her fist to the ground.
