Hu Houming said: "What's the fuss about today? There won't be anyone coming over to invite me, right?"
Xiao Congyun shook his head: "Maybe it was a coincidence."
"What if it's not a coincidence." Hu Houming snorted: "If the first plan fails, then there will be another one."
"Prince Nan was instigated by Prince Jing?" Xiao Congyun pondered.
"Lao Shi must listen to the second brother." Hu Houming sneered: "He has been a flatterer since he was a child!"
Xiao Congyun said: "Prince Jing knew that he could not invite you, Prince Nan, so after he finished the invitation, he immediately asked Prince Nan to invite you?"
"That's definitely the case." Hu Houming sneered: "You have to invite me out of the palace. You have ulterior motives!"
He could not conclude at first that it was Prince Jing who wanted to assassinate him, but it could also be someone else who was stirring up discord and adding fuel to the fire.
But now we can conclude that it is Prince Jing.
You have to invite yourself out of the house and assassinate him on the way.
Xiao Congyun's face was solemn.
Judging that Prince Jing will not give up is not the same thing as confirming that Prince Jing will not give up. The latter makes people feel even heavier.
Even if you can escape this time, what about the next time? There will be countless next times, and you will eventually succeed.
If you can hide for a while, can you hide for longer?
This time the assassination was outside the palace, in the middle of the road. What about the next time? Maybe he broke into the palace directly.
More importantly, it is impossible to stay in the palace all the time without going out, as that would suffocate the prince to death.
Even if I can endure the boredom, I have been hiding in the palace, unable to communicate with others, unable to calm the hearts of the people around me, which makes my subordinates alienated, and will eventually be taken away by Prince Jing.
That would be really helpless.
This is to cut off the prince's tendons and deprive him of all hope. This is the real cruelty.
"Mr. Xiao, there is no need to be afraid." Hu Houming said with a smile: "I am not prepared this time. I just want to greet Mr. Lu and the four of them back."
"Mr. Lu and the others..." Xiao Congyun muttered: "If you can't help it, don't ask them to take action."
Mr. Lu and the four of them are his trump cards, one of the most secretive powers, and can be said to be his trump card.
They are best at assassination.
Therefore, they are used for assassination, not for protection. They are sharp blades hidden in the darkest places.
Able to reverse the situation at critical moments, such as... assassinating Prince Jing.
Hu Houming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At this time, besides Mr. Lu and the others, who else can protect me?"
"My lord, please hide for now." Xiao Congyun said, "We can't invite Mr. Lu and the others until the last minute."
"Alas!" Hu Houming suddenly looked dejected and shook his head: "It seems that it is not easy to hide one's strength and bide one's time. My second brother cannot allow me to live."
Xiao Congyun nodded slowly.
This is already an irrefutable fact. There is no need to use false words to comfort you, but you need to find a way to deal with it.
Hu Houming gritted his teeth and sneered: "If it doesn't work, I will go to my father and cry."
Xiao Congyun shook his head: "It's useless."
Even if the emperor tells Prince Jing not to kill his brothers, Prince Jing may not listen. With Prince Jing's status, it is not difficult to find a few top masters to die.
Hu Houming frowned and said, "What should I do? Am I living in fear all day long?"
Xiao Congyun said: "Your Majesty, we have the master here. If we encounter danger, the master will remind us. If there is no master to remind us, we don't have to worry."
"Well..." Hu Houming felt that it was not appropriate.
In this case, wouldn't it mean that we are relying too much on Master Fakong? I, the prince, have failed too much.
Xiao Congyun also felt it was inappropriate.
But now that the situation is so dangerous, we can only rely on Master Fa Kong so much and save our lives first before talking about anything else.
I will repay Master Fa Kong in the future.
"Okay." Hu Houming shook his head and said, "We still have to find a way to recruit enough guards... I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask my father to give him guards for the forbidden palace."
"My lord, think twice." Xiao Congyun said slowly.
The guards of the Forbidden Palace have strong martial arts skills and may be able to protect the prince, but there is also a drawback. They are also the eyes of the emperor.
From now on, it is equivalent to having eyes watching the prince, and every move will be reported to the emperor's ears.
Compared to the danger of life, this is nothing, but the key point is that the guards of the forbidden palace may not really be able to protect him.
Who knows if the guards of the Forbidden Palace were bribed by Prince Jing.
Hu Houming frowned: "Isn't this possible?"
"If they are the guards of the Forbidden Palace, do they care more about Prince Jing? Or do they care more about you, Prince Jing?"
"...Second brother." Hu Houming replied bitterly.
Xiao Congyun said: "We still have to find experts ourselves, ones who can guarantee their loyalty."
"It's too difficult to find someone like this." Hu Houming shook his head.
If you have military power, it is not difficult to find them. Most of them want to serve you.
Nowadays, Prince Lun's Mansion is being neglected. We don't expect talented people to take the initiative to seek refuge with us. Instead, we have to take the initiative to recruit them ourselves, and others may not agree yet.
A fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken.
As a prince who has lost military power, he is miserable and his future seems to be bleak. Who would jump into the fire pit?
Xiao Congyun thought hard.
They thought life would be difficult after their military power was taken away, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult, a hundred times harder than they imagined.
The current situation is difficult to move forward.
"Your Majesty, wait until I get back and think about it carefully." Xiao Congyun said in a deep voice.
"Then there's Mr. Lao." Hu Houming nodded.
The only people he can rely on now are Mr. Xiao and Master Fakong. As long as these two people don't give up on him, he still has hope.
Fakong withdrew his gaze and stood in the small pavilion on the lake with his hands folded, looking relaxed.
Fan Ning was taking Xu Qingluo and four others to weed and take care of the medicinal garden. He saw them acting perfunctory and scolded them.
You have high vision but low hand, and you have an impetuous mind. All you want to do is fight and kill all day long, but you don’t know the true meaning of life. Look at your master and uncle, when did you become so impetuous?
Xu Qingluo and the others could only listen obediently and make corrections conscientiously.
Fakong withdrew his eyes from Hu Houming, turned to the location of King Kong Peak, and then looked down along King Kong Peak.
At the foot of the mountain opposite the Snow Mountain, a group of people from the Border Patrol were besieging a handsome young man, who was none other than Zhu Cisui, a master of the Jinghua Sect.
Zhu Cisui was dressed in white as snow, his handsome face was tense, and his eyes were like cold stars flashing with melancholy and anger.
Under the siege of nine border patrol masters, Zhu Cisui was able to move with ease, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll.
The reason why he didn't kill him or run away was because nine border patrol masters revealed his identity.
They severely accused him of being a traitor who wanted to betray Dayong and join Daqian and become a lackey of Daqian. He was really a wolf-hearted person and deserved death.
Zhu Cisui was extremely angry at their accusations, but he didn't bother to refute, knowing that what he said was useless, and they just accepted it.
Moreover, they may also say this deliberately, just to call themselves a traitor and make themselves infamous.
In this way, Dayong Wulin has no place for itself. After arriving at Daqian, there is no way to return to Dayong Wulin. It just doesn't want to let itself come back.
When Zhu Cisui took action, he glanced around from time to time to see who else was chasing him.
The people from the Jinghua Sect definitely don’t dare, that is, the masters from the Divine Sword Peak. Which one of the masters from the Divine Sword Peak will come?
As long as the person coming is strong enough, he will go directly into the Snowy Mountains. Once inside the Snowy Mountains, will the masters from Divine Sword Peak still dare to pursue him?
If you continue to chase, you will be invading the Snow Mountain Sect and you will have to withstand the counterattack of the Snow Mountain Sect. This move of yours will be to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
If you don't continue chasing and let yourself enter the Snowy Mountains, there is really nothing you can do about it, but you can still be free.
Time passed quickly, and he suddenly became energetic and saw two small black spots in the distance approaching quickly and getting bigger quickly.
But two gray-robed swordsmen, wearing tight-fitting clothes, came closer in the blink of an eye like two wisps of smoke.
When they were ten meters away, they had already drawn their swords out of their scabbards and stabbed them straight. The swords united and accelerated suddenly, turning into a white rainbow and shooting directly at them.
Zhu Cisui knew at a glance that he was a master of the Divine Sword Peak, and said solemnly: "The Divine Sword Peak really wants to kill me!"
"Traitors deserve to die!"
The two of them found that Zhu Cisui slapped his long sword away with a light palm, and an extremely powerful force surged into the sword, causing them to shake their swords and they had to let go if they couldn't control themselves.
Zhu Cisui's Jing Hua Shui Yue Gong is a method of using force to unload force, superimposing the power accumulated by the nine border patrol masters, and then transferring it to the two swords.
Therefore, the power endured by the two swords is the sum of the palm power of nine people. It is astonishingly powerful and mixed with various strengths, each of which is different and difficult to resolve.
This is the magic of Jing Hua Shui Yue Kung, it can hold several times the energy of oneself and use it to counterattack.
"Excalibur Peak, nothing more than that!" Zhu Cisui rushed towards the nine border patrol masters, and then faced two long swords.
He slapped a long sword with both palms, causing the sword to vibrate.
The two middle-aged men in gray suddenly realized their thoughts and shouted: "Get out of the way, don't mix in!"
The nine border patrol masters turned around and exited the battle circle without hesitation.
They had long murmured in their hearts that they were extremely afraid of Zhu Cisui. He was still able to cope with the siege of nine people. This Zhu Cisui was too evil.
Zhu Cisui did not let them go, and said coldly: "Fight if you want, and retreat if you want? There is no such good thing in the world."
He rushed towards the nine border patrol masters and attacked them one by one. His movement was so fast that they had no choice but to fight hard.
However, after the palms of each other faced each other, they would often take a step back, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. Zhu Cisui would directly pursue the other person.
He attacked in this order, and then was caught up by two masters of Divine Sword Peak, who once again slapped away the two long swords.
"Everyone, get behind me!" shouted a master of Divine Sword Peak.
Fakong turned around and said, "Qingluo, you guys go to the foot of King Kong Peak to meet Zhu Cisui."
"Yes." Xu Qingluo immediately felt like she was being pardoned, and hurriedly agreed. The other three people also breathed a sigh of relief, and without hesitation, they used Qing Kung Fu to rise up from the ground and soar upward.
It was as if their bodies had overcome gravity, and as if there were ropes in the void pulling them upward.
The four figures quickly crossed the height of the Medicine Valley, which was already covered with snowy peaks, and then flew out flatly, passing over the Medicine Valley.
Their speed was astonishing, and in a short time they reached the edge of the Snowy Mountains under King Kong Peak and saw what was happening there.
They were not in a hurry to take action, they just stood within the scope of the Snowy Mountains and looked outside, curiously watching.
When the nine border patrol masters saw them, their faces darkened, but they did not come closer, but moved further away.
