The curtain has fallen in the Imperial City, and the curtain has also fallen in the Bei'an City Inn, but there are still many loose ends left untied in this incident.
When Lu Zhi escaped from Cao Zhengchun, he immediately flew towards the agreed location with Hai Yueqing and Hai Mingxin.
But not long after he walked out of Bei'an City, he encountered a person blocking the way.
Dawn breaks and the night dissipates, but the sky and earth are still filled with darkness.
Among the fields, a figure wearing a dark red brocade robe and a high hat stood on the field.
If an ordinary person were here, Lu Zhi wouldn't care at all, but the person in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Who are you?"
"The person waiting for you!" Zhao Gao turned around slowly, revealing a pale face.
Lu Zhi's pupils shrank and his expression became solemn.
"Why wait for me?"
"I want to take you somewhere."
Zhao Gao said calmly.
The matter in Bei'an City is over, but their trap has just begun.
Within Kyoto, the four major city guards are filled with a large number of warriors from the Southeast Islands, ranging from the top experts of the Three Innate Realms to high-grade warriors of seventh grade or above, the number is close to a thousand.
Some of these people were causing trouble in the four major defensive cities, and some were attacking the imperial city in Kyoto. With so many warriors gathering, Zhao Gao would naturally not return empty-handed.
These are the targets of their trap, and anyone from the Southeast Islands is their target.
Catching one is one, and catching two is two. Before the battle in the imperial city was over, the members of Luowang had already taken action.
They work in small groups and are scattered along the key roads between Kyoto and the four major fortresses. Any fleeing warriors are their prey.
The hunting time has just begun.
"Where to go?"
Lu Zhi asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Gaodao: "You will know when you go."
"What if I don't want to go?"
"It's not up to you!"
Lu Zhi's face became more and more serious, and his hand was already on the handle of the knife.
"I advise you not to take action, because you are no match for me."
Zhao Gao said softly.
"That's not necessarily the case!" Lu Zhi naturally wouldn't let him go without a fight.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao's figure in front of him suddenly disappeared.
It just disappeared out of thin air, like a ghost.
Lu Zhidu wondered if he had seen it wrong, or if it was just his imagination!
His eyes were somewhat dull as he looked at the location where Zhao Gao was just now.
"Follow me obediently, you may still have a chance to survive!"
A voice came from his ear, and Lu Zhi suddenly froze.
His neck was stiff and twisted toward the back, and he looked at Zhao Gao behind him in disbelief.
when!
When did he come behind me?
What kind of speed was this? He didn't even react or even notice it.
Lu Zhi couldn't believe it.
In terms of speed, among the people he had seen, Eunuch Lu's elusive speed shocked him to the extreme.
He was still lucky that Eunuch Lu was targeting Yu Qingzhou. If he was targeting him, he might not be able to escape Eunuch Lu's entanglement.
But when observing Eunuch Lu's battle, he could still see Eunuch Lu's movement trajectory.
Now he was facing this mysterious person whose identity he didn't know, and he couldn't even see his movement trajectory.
No, I can't even feel my breath.
No breath!
Except for the dead, all people in this world should have breath.
Facing a person without breath, it only means that the other person is extremely good at concealing breath, and has achieved the point of being watertight.
How many powerful people are hidden in Dali!
Lu Zhi's mood was completely confused.
He was just surprised by the appearance of the order taker. He was shocked by Eunuch Lu's display of strength, but there was another person in front of him that he couldn't see through. Suddenly, he felt numb.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Gao said calmly.
Lu Zhi's expression moved slightly, and a ray of light suddenly burst out from his eyes, and then he saw his figure suddenly flying out, with such speed that it shot towards the rising sun in the east like a rainbow.
But as soon as he ran out a hundred meters, it was as if he had hit his head against a wall. With a bang, he flew back and took more than ten steps back in the green fields before stopping.
Naturally, he did not touch the wall. Even if he did touch the wall, the wall would be knocked over by him.
He was slapped back by Zhao Gao.
Stabilizing his body, he looked nervously at Zhao Gao in front of him.
"You can make conditions, but you can't disobey my orders!"
"If you don't comply, you will disappear from this world forever."
Zhao Gao still looked cold and indifferent, with no emotion in his tone.
Lu Zhi took a deep breath.
He still couldn't believe it.
The man in front of him actually left him powerless to fight back, and he couldn't even leave even if he wanted to.
This kind of strength is probably even higher than that of top powerhouses such as Ju Landao.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Lu Zhi said.
Zhao Gao looked at him deeply and then walked towards Kyoto.
Lu Zhi had given up on escaping because he knew he couldn't escape at all.
He followed Zhao Gao obediently, and the bright morning sun stretched his figure very long.
…
By Mingxin Lake.
A charming figure flew down from the mountains and forests, flew across the lake like a dragonfly, and finally landed on the small boat on the lake.
"The mission failed, let's go!"
Haikui said in a deep voice.
When the boatman at the stern heard the words, he immediately moved the oars.
The boat sailed slowly toward the other side of the lake, riding the waves and morning light.
Sudden.
Haikui said coldly: "Stop!"
"Miss, what's wrong?" the boatman asked.
"The boat can't go!" Hai Kui's charming eyes filled with this cold and solemn look, and she scanned the surrounding lake.
The morning sun shines down, the breeze blows slowly, the light mist and morning sun dance together with the breeze and the water waves.
The next moment, the sea anemone jumped out without any hesitation and floated across the lake like a gust of wind.
…
Pavilion on the mountain.
Lu Baifeng pressed down the vibrating strings and closed his eyes slightly.
His face was a little pale, and there was still a faint trace of tears in the corner of his eyes.
This night was the most uncomfortable night for him in so many years.
He lost his former innocence and his original desire. It seemed as if overnight, he experienced thousands of worldly affairs.
"Gilbert, go and help her."
He said calmly.
"The lingering love is over!" Ji Qian said with a smile.
Lu Baifeng shook his head slightly and said, "This is just the last moment of affection!"
"The last love? Are you sure!" Ji Qian was a little surprised.
"Um!"
Lu Baifeng nodded, then slowly stood up and looked at Mingxin Lake at the foot of the mountain.
"From now on, we are separated from each other and have no worries anymore!"
Ji Qian looked at his back and finally nodded.
…
On the lake.
Sea anemones blow across the sparkling lake in the gentle breeze.
Wow~~
suddenly.
Figures jumped out from the water one after another.
Crystal water flowers bloomed in the sky, looking particularly gorgeous under the morning light.
It's just that under this splendor, there are also chilling shadows of swords and swords.
The sharp sword energy and sharp blade poured out.
Hai Kui's figure rotated, and she soared up like a fairy. Her light blue gauze clothes fluttered, and wisps of green aura lingered around her, making her even more elegant and beautiful.
But the next moment, three slender ropes flew towards her, and before she could react, they were already wrapped around her body.
The rope carried water and soaked her clothes.
A look of panic instantly appeared on Hai Kui's charming face.
She only has an eighth-grade cultivation level, and she is not considered a master in terms of force alone.
Her most outstanding ability is the use of poison.
But the men in black in front of them seemed to have been prepared, and the poison she just sprinkled had no effect.
Just when she was at her wits' end, a sharp cracking sound suddenly sounded.
Several slender branches shot from a distance, directly breaking the rope.
The bonds were suddenly released, and Hai Kui was stunned for a moment, but then she came to her senses and her figure floated up again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
The sound of breaking through the air continued one after another.
The slender branches fell like sharp arrows on the bodies of the men in black. In the blink of an eye, the clear lake water was dyed red with blood.
The sea anemone touches the water and uses its strength to jump up again on the lake.
She turned her head and looked towards the lakeside behind her, with a bright smile on her charming face.
But her smile froze again.
A steel-like palm pinched her neck.
A burly figure appeared in front of her.
This suddenly appeared figure was also masked in black. He stretched out his hand to block an incoming branch and looked up at the lakeside opposite.
A pair of deep eyes without any color.
On the lakeside, Ji Qian looked at the figure standing on the lake, and his expression became solemn.
Innate warrior!
The man just glanced at him and left with Hai Anemone.
Ji Qian did not pursue or stop him.
"How many innate masters are hidden in Kyoto this night!"
He murmured, then turned around and flew towards the mountain.
After a while.
Lu Baifeng left the pavilion with him.
…
The brilliance of dawn fell on the roof of Shengtian Hall, and the golden glazed tiles reflected the misty brilliance.
The heavy door of Sheng'an Gate slowly opened, and the courtiers slowly walked into the imperial city one by one.
They lined up in the square and prepared to enter the palace for the morning pilgrimage.
At this time, the square seemed very clean. There were no corpses or blood stains, only some broken places.
Knife marks, sword marks, and shattered masonry proved everything that happened last night.
Ji Yuanchen stood in front of the ministers, his eyes slightly closed, but the old god was still there.
He was dozing off. He was old and hadn't slept all night. Now he couldn't wait to go home and have a good sleep.
Next to him, Qin Changping, Qin Changan, and Qin Jun were all standing quietly.
It's just that Qin Changan's face was very ugly, and his eyes were filled with a heart-stopping coldness.
He looked at Qin Changping and Qin Jun beside him. Although he said nothing, the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.
He was assassinated last night!
The sword had already pierced his forehead, missing his head by just an inch.
Thinking of last night's experience, the anger in Qin Changan's heart erupted like a volcano.
But he couldn't help it.
Because he knew that too many things happened in Kyoto last night.
There were so many assassinations that he encountered were not considered a big deal.
Even the Imperial City was attacked, and even Emperor Li was assassinated. It didn't matter that he, the prince, was assassinated.
The ministers were particularly quiet this morning.
Usually when everyone comes, they will discuss what happened in the court.
But today no one spoke, they all stood quietly in the square, waiting for the call.
"All ministers enter the palace!"
Following the shout of a young eunuch, the ministers walked into the Shengtian Hall one after another.
Emperor Li had already sat on the dragon throne, or it could be said that Emperor Li had never left.
His turbid eyes scanned the ministers below, and there was no trace of fluctuation on Emperor Li's old face.
Eunuch Lu stood beside Emperor Li, lowering his head.
The morning session went on as usual without any accidents, and nothing unexpected happened.
But it was as if nothing happened last night and no one mentioned it.
Everything seems to be the same as before.
But everyone knows that everything has changed.
As for Zhao Gao's military power, in the original work, Zhao Gao never fought, and there were only some relatively side descriptions, such as his ghostly speed, even the black swordsman Shengqi couldn't feel his breath, and his ability to control various spiders, etc.
.His strength should not be weak, but the author has no specific reference, so he can only write it in a vague way. I hope all the book friends can forgive me.
