Chapter 391: Betrayed by a mysterious person, Xiao Ai is exposed
Shangjingcheng, suburbs.
There is a man with two swords stuck in his waist, his eyes are piercing, and there is also a trace of bloodthirsty and murderous intention in it. Strangers should not come near him.
Occasionally, people who pass by will subconsciously step back.
Um?
Lang Tao suddenly stopped and slowly held the two knives behind his back with both hands.
This place is a jungle official road, with a mountain peak on the left, but it is not very high.
A dense forest on the right.
It was almost dusk now, and there were very few pedestrians on the official road.
Holding the handle of the knife with both hands, Lang Tao's whole temperament seemed to have undergone a qualitative change in an instant, becoming fierce and extremely arrogant.
If he were an ordinary little thief, how could Lang Tao grasp his two swords immediately?
But this time it was different from all the crises he had experienced before. The four people were clearly standing there, but if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't even notice them.
It's like a weed at your feet, it's always there, but you just ignore it.
These four are very strong!
Very weird too!
Lang Tao didn't feel any fluctuations in internal energy from his body.
Four people, one standing on one foot in the treetop.
One, holding a sword in his arms, slowly walked out from under a tree, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth.
One, sitting in a wheelchair, is located in front of the official road.
The last one, who seemed to be wearing some kind of gloves on his hands, was sitting on a stone not far away, throwing stones in his hand. Suddenly, the stone was crushed by him.
"I don't know what they mean by blocking my way."
Lang Tao asked calmly.
"Actually, it's nothing. I've just seen you unhappy for a long time, so I just came to fight with you." The young man with the dog's tail grass in his mouth said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lang Tao's eyes became much more solemn.
Sure enough, the person who came here is evil!
"May I ask how many names you have?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. We are the four famous arresters of Langya Pavilion, specializing in investigating cases."
"So, I wonder why you found me?"
Suddenly, the scene turned cold.
The dog's tail grass also spit out its mouth.
The boy in the wheelchair looked at Lang Tao and said coldly: "You will know! Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two flying knives flew out of his hands.
The man on the treetop has already taken action.
With a kick that was extremely fast, Lang Tao hadn't even drawn out the two swords in his hands, and the attack had already arrived.
This kick went straight to the face.
If it turns out to be true, it will have to be disfigured.
Of course, for Lang Tao, it doesn't make much difference whether he is disfigured or not.
Before the two swords were drawn out, Lang Tao did not dare to be careless, so he had to make a prompt decision, guarding his body with both arms in a defensive posture.
But at this moment, the sword of the young man holding the sword had also been unsheathed.
I didn't see how his sword was unsheathed, and there was no sound at all. In the critical moment, if Lang Tao hadn't tilted his forehead, his head would have been separated.
Four famous arresters, each with their own unique skills, namely "Ruthless", a master of concealed weapons, "Iron Hand", a master of excellent internal strength, "Chasing Life" with amazing leg skills, and "Cold-blooded", a top-notch swordsman.
In a flash of lightning, the four of them cooperated tacitly and took action at the same time.
With every move, Lang Tao is surrounded by dangers.
After testing the four moves, Lang Tao also stepped aside, looked at the four of them, and said in a cold voice with a bit of surprise: "Four ninth-grade early stages! Langya Pavilion, indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
This time, it was Lang Tao who took the lead, with both swords already unsheathed!
"Today, let the four of us brothers come to meet you, the leader of Kuhe."
The battle ignited instantly.
.
.
As for the outcome, there is no way of knowing, but one thing is certain, that is, after waiting for a long time in Jin Yiwei, Zhong Sheng still failed to wait for Lang Tao's arrival.
When they finally sent someone to investigate, they were told that Lang Tao was besieged by four mysterious men on the outskirts of Shangjing City and was seriously injured. He was now recovering from his injuries and could not enter the capital.
Just when Shen Zhong was so angry that he was scolding his mother, he didn't know that bad luck had quietly arrived and could befall him at any time.
Royal Palace.
The Queen Mother's palace.
The Queen Mother took a nap today, which was rare and sweet, so she fell into a deeper sleep.
By the time she woke up, it was almost dusk.
Just when she got out of bed, she saw a note beside her pillow, which read:
"Sister Zhong, I suspect she is Xiao Ai!"
At the end, there is a sinister symbol drawn.
Looking at that note, the Queen Mother's heart turned over and over again. It would be no exaggeration to say that it caused a huge wave of waves.
Heavy sister...
But not everyone can move!
Even if she was a queen mother, she still had to be cautious.
However, Xiao Ai must get rid of this person!
Then, the Queen Mother suddenly ran into trouble.
Later, Haitang Duoduo received a summons and was summoned by the Queen Mother.
Haitang Duoduo rushed to the palace overnight and was visibly stunned when she learned that the Queen Mother had actually ordered her to secretly investigate her sister Zhong Zhong.
But it was quickly covered up without revealing any flaws.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely find out the truth."
"Well, Duoduo, I can rest assured that you can do things. Go ahead and do it!"
"Respect the Queen Mother's decree!"
.
.
Three days later, the Queen Mother's birthday was held as normal.
The delegation, including Fan Xian in blue clothes and red clothes, also came to participate.
Perhaps it was because the War between the North and the South had just ended that the banquet was held in a very grand manner, probably to ward off bad luck.
Or perhaps it was to avoid losing face in front of the Qingguo envoy.
There are all kinds of delicacies, but unfortunately after Fan Xian tasted a little bit of them, he lost the appetite to use chopsticks a second time.
Compared with Lan Yi's cooking skills, this imperial chef is not even close to a star.
Today's banquet was heavy, and his official uniform with wild patterns almost became the entire focus of the banquet.
The mangpao is the symbol of the prince!
However, what puzzled all the officials was that until the banquet was almost over, the Queen Mother had not made the appointment in advance, as if she had forgotten about it.
As for the heavy weight, he did not take the initiative to mention it.
What was even more shocking was that after the banquet, Uesugi Tiger knelt down on one knee in public in the main hall and officially announced that he would be under the empress dowager's sect from now on.
As soon as this happened, everyone present was shocked.
But not including Fan Xian and Lan Yi.
The Queen Mother was naturally happy to take Uesugi Tiger under her command, and she remained cheerful.
She was happy, but the little emperor was not happy. He looked at Fan Xian more than once.
Fan Xian pretended to notice her gaze.
After the banquet, many ministers privately talked about the heavy failure of the feudal princes.
Among them, many ministers who were behind the news learned that recently, among the Jinyi Guards, mountains have risen everywhere, and the heavy weight has almost been lifted.
After all, there are different opinions on the reasons.
Some people say that it was because Shen Zhong had a grudge against Langya Pavilion. Now that Langya Pavilion was becoming more and more powerful, the Queen Mother was afraid of Langya Pavilion, so she decided to give up her carriage to protect the commander and support another person from the Jinyi Guards.
Some people also say that Chen Sheng has recently been targeted by a group of mysterious assassins. Just a few days ago, he was successfully robbed from prison. Sean's whereabouts are now unknown.
