After talking with Emperor Qianwu, Li Changfeng went to Jingren Palace to visit Concubine Lan and Li Mingzhu, and did not leave the palace until it was almost dark.
It was already very close to the curfew time, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and carriages made a creaking sound as they walked on the road.
Suddenly, a dozen men in black armed with weapons silently rushed towards the carriage.
"Enemy attack!"
"Defense formation!"
"Protect Your Highness!"
Zhang Haihui shouted loudly, and the thunder riders quickly moved towards the carriage.
However, their speed was still half a beat slower, and the men in black were already rushing towards the carriage.
A young man in the lead slashed at the carriage, while the rest fought with Zhang Haihui and others to prevent them from rescuing Li Changfeng.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound and sawdust flew into the air. The young man looked at the refined steel plate under the board with surprise in his eyes.
"It's actually made of Bailian stainless steel. No wonder the Ninth Prince can survive to this day!"
The young man looked at it with interest, then smiled lightly and said: "But, this can't stop me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man took a breath, raised his palms, and suddenly swatted towards the carriage.
"boom!"
There was an explosion, and the carriage carriage shattered into pieces, and the hundreds of refined steel plates inside flew away, revealing Li Changfeng with a look of surprise on his face.
This carriage made of hundreds of refined steel has helped him save the day many times, but he never expected to be smashed to pieces by someone's palm today.
Li Changfeng looked at the handsome young man in front of him and secretly evaluated his strength.
To be able to break open this carriage, with such amazing internal strength, it must be that a first-grade grandmaster has not escaped, but he just doesn't know how his strength compares to his own.
Li Changfeng's first reaction was that this person was a killer sent from the human world. After all, the assassination mission entrusted to them by Li Shou had not yet been completed. The previous killer Hua was buried in his hands and his hand was injured, and his life or death was unknown.
Of course, there are other possibilities.
For example, Li Ji, who was treated badly and lost face by his series of methods, might send or entrust some killer organization to kill him.
As for the others, Li Changfeng can’t think of them yet.
The young man was not in a hurry to take action. He looked Li Changfeng up and down with interest for a moment and said, "Are you the ninth prince who is so talented that you have saved millions of people in Shangzhou? It's really unbearable to kill you. It's a pity. Someone has put a huge reward on your head, so I can only give you a ride, but I can make an exception and let you leave your last words before killing you."
Hearing this, Li Changfeng was slightly startled.
Usually killers would kill him immediately upon meeting him, fearing that he would be on guard and lose the opportunity. This was the first time I encountered such a killer.
Moreover, the other party was not masked. After careful observation, he found that he was not even wearing a human skin mask, which was quite unusual.
Such behavior shows that this person is extremely confident in his own strength and does not pay attention to the assassination target at all. He feels that there is no possibility of failure in the assassination mission.
However, as a first-grade grandmaster, Li Changfeng was not too surprised to have the capital to be so arrogant.
Li Changfeng was now curious about the other party's identity and who placed a large bounty on his head, so he asked: "Who placed a bounty on my head? Who are you?"
The young man said calmly: "I can't tell you who put a bounty on your head. This is the rule of our profession, but I can tell you my identity."
Having said this, the young man paused and smiled slightly: "I am Feng Shiye, the lord of Luohua Palace."
Hearing this, Li Changfeng was surprised and said: "Are you Feng Shiye?"
Li Changfeng couldn't help but look at the young man carefully again, and his expression became a little more solemn.
The Luohua Palace is second only to the three major killer organizations in the world. It is a new killer organization that has just emerged in the past few years. However, it has become famous in the world and even has a faint tendency to catch up from behind and overpower the three established killer organizations.
If it weren't for the short time since its rise, and its foundation is not as deep as the three old killer organizations, Luohua Palace might even become the number one killer organization in the world.
Even Li Changfeng, who barely cares about Jianghu affairs, knows about Luohua Palace, which shows how powerful this killer organization is.
The main reason why the Luohua Palace has such a prestigious reputation is that their palace master Feng Shiye has become a first-class grandmaster at the age of less than thirty. His talent is unparalleled in ancient times and at least unparalleled in modern times.
"I didn't expect His Highness the Ninth Prince to know my name."
Feng Shiye smiled faintly, pointed his sword at Li Changfeng and said: "Okay, leave your last words, I will give you a happy life and leave you a whole body."
Li Changfeng looked calm and composed, and said in a calm tone: "This prince has no last words to leave, so you can take action."
Although Feng Shiye is strong, he is not a vegetarian.
When he was in Baishi City, he refined and absorbed a large amount of evil beast inner elixirs, and he was not idle after returning to the capital.
Now that his body is full of internal energy, as long as Feng Shiye makes a move and he finds a flaw, there's no telling who will win.
Even if Feng Shiye cannot be killed, he can still be killed if he is delayed for a moment until the imperial guards come and surround him.
"Okay, then I will give you a ride."
Feng Shiye raised his sword and struck, but when he saw Li Changfeng sitting upright and calm, showing no fear at all, he couldn't help but stop again and asked in surprise: "You don't seem to be afraid of death at all?"
Li Changfeng said calmly: "What's the use of being afraid? If you look scared, will you let me go?"
The young man laughed dumbly: "Of course not. I appreciate you more and more now, and I even can't bear to take action."
Then Feng Shiye shook his head again, his expression turned cold: "It's a pity, you have to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Shiye stabbed Li Changfeng's heart with his long sword.
Just when Li Changfeng was about to take action, he suddenly felt a sharp sword energy coming from a distance, killing Feng Shiye directly.
"Who dares to stop me from killing people in Feng Shiye?"
Feng Shiye shouted coldly, turned around and swung his sword, and a sword energy suddenly shot out, colliding with the incoming sword energy.
"boom!"
There was an explosion, sword energy overflowed, a strong wind suddenly rose, Feng Shiye's clothes flapped and his long hair flew.
Li Changfeng turned to look at the person who saved him.
I saw a woman wearing a tight-fitting night clothes, a slim figure and a veil, with only her eyes as charming as autumn water, coming towards Feng Shiye like lightning.
"So what if I stop you?"
The woman in black shouted loudly and swung her sword to kill.
Feng Shiye looked calm: "What a big tone. It can be seen from just one move that you have achieved the first-level Grand Master status not long ago. Since you are seeking death, I will help you."
With that said, Feng Shiye went towards him and killed him.
The woman in black was not afraid at all: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability."
In an instant, the two started killing each other.
Li Changfeng did not run away. He sat firmly on the broken carriage and watched the two fighting with an indifferent expression.
Of course, he focused more on the woman in black, and there was always a sense of familiarity in her eyes.
Who is this person?
Who sent her to save him?
Could it be Emperor Qianwu?
But if it was sent by Emperor Qianwu, why should he be masked?
At this time, the battle between the two has entered a fierce state.
Feng Shiye clearly had the upper hand. While calmly responding to the attacks of the woman in black, he also launched fatal attacks one after another, beating the woman in black back steadily.
If this continues, the woman in black will be defeated before long.
However, the woman in black, who was at a disadvantage, had no intention of giving up and still pestered Feng Shiye.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance. Feng Shiye turned his head and glanced, only to see nearly a thousand Imperial Guards in heavy armor running towards him with various weapons in hand.
"I don't have time to play with you anymore."
Feng Shiye spoke indifferently, and suddenly struck out with a sword. The woman in black responded hurriedly, and was beaten back repeatedly.
Feng Shiye took the opportunity to shoot at Li Changfeng, hoping to kill Li Changfeng before the imperial guards came to kill him.
"Don't even think about it!"
The woman in black quickly stopped her figure, suddenly took a step forward, and used all her strength to slash out a sword energy.
Feng Shiye had to stop and turn around to deal with it, his expression a little gloomy: "You are looking for death."
The woman in black was not afraid of bullying and shouted coldly: "Stop using your words to fight with me!"
Obviously, her purpose was to entangle Feng Shiye and deny him the chance to kill Li Changfeng.
At this time, the imperial guards were approaching, and the crossbowmen in front had already begun to draw their bows and arrows to aim at Feng Shiye and his men.
Feng Shiye knew that if he didn't retreat now, it would be very troublesome once he was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. He was confident of fighting a bloody path, but his men would not be able to escape death.
"No one I want to kill in Feng Shiye can escape yet. Let's see how long you can protect him."
Feng Shiye glanced coldly at the woman in black, and then looked at Li Changfeng.
"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, I will keep your head for a few days."
After saying that, he turned around and jumped onto the roof of the street. After a few turns, he disappeared. The other men in black who followed him also fled in all directions.
The woman in black did not stop him. She took a deep look at Li Changfeng and dived into the darkness.
At this time, Zhang Haihui's Thunder Riders, who had been restrained, hurriedly ran to Li Changfeng.
"Your Highness, are you okay?!"
Zhang Haihui knelt on the ground with a plop, his face full of shame. The other thunder riders also knelt on the ground with the same expression.
When Li Changfeng was in danger, they couldn't even protect him at close range, which really made them feel uncomfortable, especially Zhang Haihui, who blamed himself endlessly.
Li Changfeng didn't care at all about this. He helped Zhang Haihui and said, "Okay, don't blame yourself. The other party is an elite expert from Luohua Palace. Even the palace owner Feng Shiye came in person. It's normal that he can't stop him.
."
As soon as everyone stood up, the imperial guards also rushed over. They immediately protected Li Changfeng in the middle and stared at the surroundings with knives and guns.
The leading general knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands and said: "The end will come later, I hope your highness will forgive me!"
Li Changfeng smiled faintly: "It was you who frightened away the bandits. What crime are you guilty of? General, please get up quickly."
Li Changfeng helped the leading general up without any pretense.
"Your Highness, does he know who assassinated him?" the leading general asked with a frown.
"They are from Luohua Palace, and the palace owner Feng Shiye is also here." Li Changfeng replied.
No matter who placed a bounty on his head, Li Changfeng hoped to use the power of the imperial court to eliminate the hidden danger of Huahua Palace.
There is something going on during this period, and the updates may not be timely, or even less updated. I forgot to mention it yesterday, so I will tell you all here.
In addition, I am going to cut into the affairs of the Jianghu. It is quite boring to always write about the affairs of the imperial court.
