At this time, Lin Fan saw an old man with white hair standing in the middle of the street. He was wearing a Taoist robe, an immortal Taoist figure, and a long sword on his back.
"Your Highness, why don't you come down and have a chat."
The old man said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan flew down. Around him, there were at least thirty bronze mechanical repeating crossbows aimed at him. Lin Fan said solemnly: "Old senior, you really think highly of me for such a big battle today."
"Haha! His Highness the Crown Prince is now the legitimate heir in this world. We really need to show more respect to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"However, if His Royal Highness wants to escape with his own strength, it will be impossible. We don't want much, we just want that sign."
The old man said with a smile.
"I got that sign by chance. I actually don't care. It's just that there are so many of you trying to grab it and there's such a big battle. I'm curious, what's so special about this sign?"
Lin Fan asked in a deep voice.
The old man smiled and said: "Haha! Your Highness, sometimes it is better to do less than to do more. You don't have to ask, and I don't have to answer. Isn't that good?"
"Senior, you are right. One more thing is worse than one less thing. You have attacked me several times along the way. I, the Crown Prince, can forget about it."
"However, if you continue to do this, you will be a little disrespectful. Just send so many bronze crossbows at me with just one sign. Is that enough?"
Lin Fan said coldly.
Ha ha!
After hearing this, the old man laughed heartily and said: "Your Highness, you are good at fighting and have extraordinary martial arts skills. Without these, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to get that plaque."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this brand is not as important as you think. I am taking it back just to repay a favor."
"Oh! It's actually to repay the favor. I'm getting more and more curious. Let's do this. I'll give you the brand, and you can tell me the secret of the brand."
Lin Fan said.
When the old man heard that Lin Fan wanted to know the secret of the brand in exchange, he thought for a moment and said: "Well, since His Highness the Crown Prince wants to test the power of the crossbow, I will not disturb His Highness the Crown Prince."
After saying that, the old man flew away and was about to leave. At this moment, Lin Fan used a reed to cross the river. His movement was like a ghost. This old man's status in heaven and earth was not low. If he caught him, the crossbow would be half useless.
Therefore, he must not be allowed to leave. When the old man saw Lin Fan rushing to catch him, he pulled out the sword from behind with a clang and swung his sword towards Lin Fan to kill him.
Lin Fan quickly retreated, then he bent his fingers and hit the blade of the sword. The blade trembled violently and actually broke free from the old man's hand.
Lin Fan rushed forward again, pulled out the big knife on his back, and swung it towards the old man's head.
Keng!
With the sound of swords clashing, the old man rushed out another sword from nowhere and collided with Lin Fan for more than thirty rounds.
During this period, not a single crossbow arrow appeared. Obviously, those people were afraid that the crossbow arrows would hurt the old man and did not dare to fire them. Lin Fan could not let the old man go.
"Haha! What a great swordsmanship! His Royal Highness's martial arts skills are indeed incomparable to ordinary people!"
The old man praised greatly.
"Haha! Senior! What you said makes this junior a little ashamed. My martial arts skills can only be considered inferior. Senior's swordsmanship is really exquisite."
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
collapse!
After Lin Fan finished speaking, the sword in the old man's hand actually shot out hundreds of poisonous needles. Lin Fan slashed with his broadsword. Although all the poisonous needles were staked, most of the blade of Lin Fan's broadsword was broken off by the poisonous needles.
"Haha! Your Highness, I learned your sword skills today. I am very impressed. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely learn from you."
The old man said with a smile, then disappeared into a restaurant.
Lin Fan knew that without the old man, there would be a hail of crossbows and arrows. He dodged and entered a room, wandering back and forth between rooms.
Lin Fan speculated that the bronze crossbow arrows were very heavy and heavy, and the material was also made of bronze, so there were not that many people in the world. To surround him, the bronze crossbow arrows should have been placed nearby.
As long as Lin Fan could escape from this street, he would be out of danger. Lin Fan quickly retreated, but the crossbow arrows still came like raindrops.
Lin Fan dodged left and right, and from time to time he heard the whistling sound of crossbow arrows passing by his ears. Lin Fan fled this street for a thousand meters before the crossbow arrows disappeared.
"Huh! The people in heaven and earth are really ruthless, sending so many crossbows to kill me!"
Lin Fan let out a long breath.
He found a horse in a hotel, and the horse quickly headed towards the city gate. The prefect of Shunqing Prefecture did not come out from the beginning to the end.
Naturally, the defenders of Shunqing Mansion did not dare to participate in the battle to defend themselves. It seemed that the stability of the world was only superficial, and the imperial power was no longer enough to frighten the world.
It seems that if you want the world to be unified and if you want the people to live a good life, you still have a lot of things to do!
"Your Highness, please come here."
Just when Lin Fan was about to rush to the city gate, a voice came.
Lin Fan looked closely and found that it was Li Yuqing from Lingyu Ancient Town. At that time, a murder occurred in Lingyu Ancient Town, and this guy also found a corpse and faked his death.
At that time, I guessed that he was related to the bandits in Heifeng Village. However, after the martial arts knights invaded Heifeng Village, they did not see Li Yuqing.
"kindness?
Aren't you dead?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Hehe! Your Highness, the villain also used some tricks to protect himself. It was just luck to meet His Highness here today."
"However, I would also like to remind His Highness the Crown Prince that if you rush to the city gate like this, you may be beaten into a sieve. If you want to go out of the city, you need to disguise yourself."
Li Yuqing said with a smile.
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Fan asked.
"His Royal Highness, isn't it obvious that you don't know the advisor?
How many people in the entire Shunqing Mansion are truly loyal to the imperial court?"
"I'm afraid those people guarding the city gate have been bribed a long time ago. Unless you are extremely powerful, you will definitely not be able to break out."
Li Yuqing replied.
"Then according to what you said, if I disguise myself, I can escape?"
Lin Fan asked.
"It's natural. I know a family whose daughter is getting married today. His Royal Highness can dress up as a sedan bearer and carry the bride's sedan out of the city."
Li Yuqing said.
"What if someone recognizes you while dressing up as a bearer?
Wouldn't it be better to just dress up as a bride?"
Lin Fan said speechlessly, feeling that this boy's idea was not very reliable.
