Chapter 594 Don’t take action when it’s time to take action
The monarch's birthday is one of the few times Ruiye goes out every year. Every sixty-sixth year on the monarch's birthday, it means that the snow hunt is coming.
Although every year's birthday is grand, the monarch's birthday every sixty-six years will be even more grand.
The gift Ruiye prepared for the monarch this year was a Buddhist scripture excerpted by him, which was as thick as nine books.
In the eyes of the king now, the value of gifts no longer compares with the feelings.
And Ruiye's thoughts were entirely in every word he excerpted.
Every time the monarch conducts business, there will be a whole day banquet in the imperial city, and Ruiye also needs to arrive early in the morning.
In order to prevent Ruiye from getting cold when he came out too early in the morning, Ruiye had already returned to the imperial city at noon the day before.
Accompanying him were Ning Yu and dozens of secret guards.
After following Ning Yu and Rui Ye for a hundred or two hundred years, Ning Yu's secret guards also respect Rui Ye very much now, because they know that Rui Ye means something extraordinary to Ning Yu.
When Ruiye left the day before, Han Rui instantly felt that there were far fewer secret guards lurking everywhere in Ruiye's mansion.
He was also able to breathe heavily.
At night, without the secret guard Jian Jian, Han Rui and Xue Wuchen discussed quietly at night when to take action to rescue Yu Xian Zao.
Fat Chef's daily schedule is very regular. Usually, even if you set off firecrackers in his ears before the time is up, he won't wake up.
"Senior, how many secret guards are there in this mansion now?"
Han Rui had already sensed it after Rui Ye left. Including the secret guards who changed shifts, there were a total of twenty secret guards left in the mansion.
"Then why does His Highness Ruiye seem like a vase? He needs to be guarded by so many men when he goes out."
Xue Wuchen said disdainfully.
"He has the same strength," Han Rui glanced at Xue Wuchen and said lightly: "And since tomorrow is the monarch's birthday, not all of these secret guards are going to protect His Highness Ruiye, maybe more of them are going to protect His Highness Ruiye.
Protect the entire party."
"Then where are these twenty secret guards gathered now?"
Xue Wuchen's cultivation level is too low and he cannot sense the specific location of the secret guard.
Han Rui paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Twenty secret guards, all gathered on the mountain."
At this time Xue Wuchen stopped talking.
If you want to rescue Yu Xian Zao, that mountain is the place you must pass. Now there are so many hidden guards on the mountain...
It was also because all these secret guards were on the mountain that Han Rui dared to talk to Xue Wuchen like this tonight.
The two were silent for a long time, and Xue Wuchen said: "Senior, maybe we will only have this chance tomorrow."
"Um..."
"Senior, are you afraid of death?"
When Xue Wuchen asked this question, Han Rui was stunned for a moment, smiled softly, and said, "Who is not afraid of death?"
"Yes," Xue Wuchen nodded and said, "I'm afraid too."
Everything was completely silent, except for Fat Chef's thunderous snoring in the room.
After a long pause, just when Han Rui was about to tell Xue Wuchen that he could leave if he was afraid of death, Xue Wuchen spoke.
"But senior, everyone is destined to die, right?"
In the darkness, the boy's eyes were shining brightly, as if they were born stars.
Looking at the light in Xue Wuchen's eyes, Han Rui suddenly felt as if he had seen such a light somewhere.
He didn't know what Xue Wuchen meant, so he just looked at Xue Wuchen in silence.
"I'm ready to fight to the death for Xian'er. Senior, what about you?"
Hearing Xue Wuchen's words, Han Rui was a little stunned.
Suddenly, he seemed to know where he had seen the light in Xue Wuchen's eyes.
That was two years ago, when Yuxiansao was wearing red clothes, which was taboo within their clan, and wandered among the various tribes.
She smiled, facing the accusations from countless tribesmen, but did not complain at all.
The red dress was currently in Yuxiansao's storage ring, and she hadn't even had a chance to open it and take a look.
After two years, although the red dress has become no longer red, when Yu Xianzao first wore that red dress, it was so red that even Han Rui was scared.
The red even dyed Yuxianzao's snow-white skin red, but Yuxiansao didn't care at all. She stubbornly wore the clothes that didn't fit well and wandered among the various tribes.
She thought the dress was beautiful, even though people along the way gave her bad words.
After receiving the news, Han Rui rushed over and rescued Yu Xian Zao from the tribesmen who were about to attack Yu Xian Zao.
The two of them were standing on the highest mountain of Liuhua Mountain. Han Rui was scared out of his wits by the sword that the tribesman had just taken, but Yu Xianzao was walking around asking him if her new clothes looked good.
If Han Rui had passed a moment later, I'm afraid Yuxianzao would have been chopped down by that person.
As an elder of the Xueji clan, Han Rui was quite taboo on the color red at that time, but when he looked at Yuxianzao in red, he felt it was so beautiful.
But he didn't boast, but asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Not to mention wearing red clothes or being stained with red is a capital offense within the clan.
But at that time Yuxianzao still smiled like a flower and said: "I'm not afraid."
The light in Xue Wuchen's eyes at this moment was just like the light in Yu Xianzao's eyes at that time.
Han Rui's eyes suddenly became wet for no reason.
Looking at Xue Wuchen, whose eyes were filled with determination, he calmed down for a while and said to Xue Wuchen, "I'm ready too."
The shift time of the secret guards is usually at Hai hour and the third watch. Perhaps in order for the secret guards to have enough sleep, they have to change shifts three times a day.
What Han Rui and Xue Wuchen discussed was to go up the mountain an hour after the secret guards changed shifts in the early morning.
One is because the people who came off the shift may have started to fall asleep at this time, and they will not go up the mountain to support them at this time.
The second reason is that it is the early morning when the monarch's birthday party begins, and Ning Yu may not come back at this time.
The main force in this battle is Han Rui alone. Xue Wuchen's cultivation level is not high. He can only take three moves from the secret guard and he will be defeated...
But that's not necessarily the case. Xue Wuchen said that if his Emperor Xuan Token wants to help him then, then they will be much more successful.
However, in order not to have lazy hopes, Han Rui did not expect Xue Wuchen's token to exert any power.
In this way, if the token does not exert its power, he will not feel disappointed. If the token does exert its power, he will be surprised.
The two of them stayed up all night, and Han Rui warned Xue Wuchen not to panic when the time came.
It’s not scary if your cultivation level is not high. What’s scary is that you’re panicking even if your cultivation level isn’t high.
If Xue Wuchen panics by then, it might even drag Han Rui down.
Han Rui's plan was to lure away the secret guards to fight with them, and then let Xue Wuchen take the opportunity to go up the mountain, and then rescue Yu Xian Zao.
Xue Wuchen was not satisfied with Han Rui's plan at first. He had said before that he could resist up to five secret guards. Now ten or more secret guards were asking him to resist. Isn't this looking for death?
Then Han Rui refuted him at that time, saying: "If I don't attract the attention of the secret guard, then neither of us will be able to escape."
There was guilt in Xue Wuchen's eyes, and he said: "It's all my fault. I'm not very good at cultivation, and I can't even help you."
Han Rui also sighed at the same time and said: "Maybe I can't lure away all the secret guards by myself, so..."
He whispered a few words into Xue Wuchen's ear in an even lower voice. Xue Wuchen looked at him and said, "Is this okay?"
Han Rui shook his head and said: "Whether it works or not, that's all."
"But if there are any remaining secret guards guarding you, then you can run away."
As he spoke, his tone was full of loneliness. Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, he went from being the elder Xue waiting for Yu Xianzao to succeed in Liuhua Mountain to now wanting to fight to the death with others.
.
Although a large part of the reason for this situation was because of Xue Wuchen, Han Rui was sincere when she told him to run away.
After getting along with each other for half a month, Han Rui also felt what kind of person Xue Wuchen was.
Sunny, optimistic, and with a sense of justice.
And the most important thing is... Han Rui looked at Xue Wuchen with an astonishing determination in his eyes.
But Xue Wuchen shook his head, looked into Han Rui's eyes, and said firmly: "I will not escape. I am a descendant of the Supreme Being of Three Thousand Worlds. It is impossible to escape. Even if I die here, I will never escape."
I won’t abandon you and run away.”
In the darkness, the stars were brighter. Han Rui stared at the twinkling stars in front of him and sighed heavily.
Early the next morning, Xue Wuchen and Han Rui got up early. After finishing all the work in the kitchen and woodshed, the fat chef got up.
"Hey, what are you two doing today?"
Xue Wuchen chuckled and said, "Fat Chef, I've put away the hygiene and dishes in the kitchen. Today...hey, my fiancée came to see me, and I just wanted to take a day off."
"Oh~" Fat Chef looked at Xue Wuchen and smiled obscenely, and said, "You make me think something is wrong. Are you going to end it as soon as you tell me no about this matter?"
Then he waved his hand to Xue Wuchen and said: "Go ahead, go ahead, as long as you don't come back tonight."
Then he looked at Han Rui and said, "Hey, Old Liu, your son is going to meet his fiancée, what are you doing?"
Han Rui also smiled and said: "What's wrong with me? This is not what my family said. I haven't been home for a long time and asked me to go home and get some things."
"Are you really just getting something?" Fat Chef leaned over Han Rui and smiled.
"really!
Han Rui didn't push him away, and smiled in agreement: "My family's cooking is pretty good. I'll give it to you when I come back!"
"
"cut!
"The fat chef got up from Han Rui, waved his hand and said: "I am a cook who has never eaten anything delicious. Come on, come on, you two."
After saying that, he turned around and went to wash up. As he walked, he said, "Hey, it's great to have a wife!
"
After the fat chef left, the smiles on Han Rui and Xue Wuchen's faces fell. They looked at each other and quietly left the yard.
Han Rui did not leave Ruiye Mansion. He found a deserted place and changed back into his original luggage.
There is no such thing as mourning among the Xue Ji clan, but Han Rui has been wearing the black mourning clothes of the Xue Ji clan since he came out of Liuhua Mountain.
At this moment, his face also changed to its original appearance. Looking at the mountains not far away, Han Rui's eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent.
He stood in the blind spot of the mountain, looking at the mountain and at the same time paying attention to everything around him.
At this time, the secret guards should have just finished changing their posts. Han Rui and Xue Wuchen were waiting, waiting for the time to come before launching an attack.
Bang!
Not far away there was a fireworks display blooming in the daytime.
Just a very short sound is enough to attract the attention of the secret guard.
This firework is also the secret code of Han Rui and Xue Wuchen.
The sound of fireworks means that everything is ready.
In an instant, Han Rui no longer concealed the aura in his body and walked straight towards the mountain.
Almost as soon as Han Rui's aura was revealed, six black shadows flashed in front of him.
Han Rui curled his lips and smiled. The number of people was about the same as he had expected.
Six secret guards surrounded Han Rui. Han Rui stretched out his hand to summon his sword and started fighting with the six secret guards.
Han Rui moved as far as possible to the edge of the mountain, in order to have some time to help Xue Wuchen.
And just when he and the six secret guards arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was a loud bang that shook the entire suburb.
The powerful energy even made the sword in Han Rui's hand unstable, and the secret guard was caught off guard by the energy.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Han Rui swung his sword and slashed at one of the secret guards who was shocked by the aura.
The sword passed through the blood stream, and the secret guard's head fell instantly.
The sudden aura was that there was an explosion in Ruiye's residence next to the mountain.
And this explosion was exactly what Xue Wuchen did.
Ruiye's residence was specially made, and the thing that could distract the remaining secret guards must be Ruiye's residence exploding.
Sure enough, the moment the explosion occurred, Xue Wuchen in the distance saw four black shadows flying out of the mountain.
Immediately, Xue Wuchen ran up the mountain desperately.
Han Rui had previously analyzed whether the ten resting guards would appear again if there was an explosion. The answer was unknown, but they didn't care much.
The ten resting secret guards must have had no rest left to fight after a night of sleeplessness, so they would continue to fight to the death.
Xue Wuchen didn't dare to take a breath and ran up the mountain very quickly.
Although Yuxiansao could not see the scene below from the mountain, the shock caused by the explosion also panicked her.
She kept patting the barrier, trying to call someone over.
But the only answer she received was silence.
And this barrier also has the function of isolating the breath. Unfortunately, she can't feel Han Rui who is fighting desperately for her at the foot of the mountain, nor can she feel the breath of Xue Wuchen who keeps running towards her.
suddenly!
In the middle of the barrier where Yuxiansao's hands were, he was suddenly pressed several times.
It's like Yuxianzao's hand pressing against the soft but hard barrier.
"Is there anyone outside?"
Yu Xianzao said anxiously: "Is it Xue Wuchen?
!
"
Unfortunately, what is isolated by a barrier is not only the scenes but also the sounds outside.
But when Xue Wuchen is outside, you see the appearance of Yu Xian Zao.
Before Ning Yu could recover from the barrier, Xue Wuchen saw a shadow in the distance on the top of the mountain halfway up the mountain.
That was the jade fairy algae that he had secretly regarded as a treasure.
When he came to the barrier, he was so anxious that tears were about to come out. He kept beating the barrier, but the barrier was not damaged.
He watched Yuxiansao keep saying this to Yuxiansao, but found that Yuxiansao seemed not to be able to see or hear him.
In desperation, Xue Wuchen used her spiritual power to attack the barrier, but every attack would rebound back to herself.
Xue Wuchen shed tears, took out the Emperor Xuan Token, held the token and prayed continuously.
"Ancestor...Ancestor...please, please help me!
"
But no matter how he prayed, the token was indifferent.
At this time, Han Rui was still fighting with the secret guards, and all the secret guards who were handed over also got up, half went to put out the fire, half went to Han Rui's side, and the other two went to Xue Wuchen's side.
Xue Wuchen could feel that murderous intent was constantly coming towards him. He had enough time to escape down the mountain, but he didn't want to escape.
Yuxiansao was right in front of him, crying in front of him. How could he leave them and run away alone.
At this time, Han Rui was also reaching the limit of his own body.
Han Rui was covered in blood, and the bright red blood seeped into his clothes, forming a dark red patch on the black clothes.
His physical strength is also reaching its end.
But the secret guards fighting him didn't seem to know what tiredness was.
Use all your strength to resist an attack, and several more attacks will follow.
Just when Han Rui couldn't hold on anymore and was about to use the method of sacrifice, a burst of Lingran aura burst out from nowhere.
This breath caused the fighting men to be rushed several meters away, and then, Han Rui felt a breath behind him that almost crushed him to death.
His hand holding the sword trembled and he didn't even dare to look back. Sure enough, all the secret guards on the opposite side and those who came to support him knelt down with their fists clasped.
"See Capital."
——
Xue Wuchen's side has also reached a crucial point.
The two secret guards who came to check moved towards his direction at the speed of light, but when they were about to reach Xue Wuchen, they were stopped by a mysterious force.
Initially, Xue Wuchen thought it was the power of the token, but then the two secret guards turned around in front of him and knelt down with their fists clasped behind them.
Then, Xue Wuchen sensed Ning Yu's power.
Sure enough, the next second, a black shadow descended from the sky, and Ning Yu was holding a person in her hand.
