The assassin suddenly fell from the sky, and there were no monks to defend the sky. The tent where Niu Youdao lived was almost directly attacked by the assassin from top to bottom.
The three old men who broke into the tent were shocked. Where did Niu Youdao come from in the tent? There was no sign of anyone at all!
They were fooled! This was the common thought of the three of them, and the defensive army had already entered, and the three of them immediately fought together with the defensive army.
Just as the flower bloomed in the center, disrupting the defense of the army outside the tent, a group of black-clothed and masked men appeared out of nowhere and joined in the fight.
Seeing this, the elders of the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom quickly took the opportunity to leave. They did not intend to stay for a long time. They were just here to show off, so they quickly left in the air.
Based on their cultivation, once they fly into the sky, it will be difficult to intercept them in the air without the corresponding power.
Although they had escaped quickly, looking back at the place where the fighting was still continuing, the three of them were a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
The three major sects of Yan State seemed to be still acting according to the agreed plan, but there was no figure of Niu Youdao in the tent, and no price was paid to intercept them. The three of them had no idea what the three major sects of Yan State were doing.
ghost.
Long Xiu, Gong Lince, and Meng Xuan quickly rushed to Shang Chaozong's side. Meng Xuan waved his hand and said: "Quick, escort the prince to escape first!"
A group of monks immediately gathered around Shang Chaozong to avoid possible risks. Shang Chaozong raised his hand and said: "No need!"
Not only did they not retreat, but when they saw the armies from all directions quickly encircling and rushing to the place of fighting, they instead said to the messenger: "The army was ordered to stop attacking. The soldiers who were fighting immediately retreated and left the assassins alone. Don't worry about it!"
"Yes!" The herald quickly ran to deliver the order.
The leaders of the three major sects looked at each other in confusion. Gong Lince frowned, understanding something, and he felt relieved.
Meng Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Niu Youdao was in danger, why did the prince not save him?"
Shang Chaozong: "The soldiers died in vain if they fought. Aren't the monks from various factions already rushing to encircle and suppress the assassins?"
The army complied with the order and evacuated the place of fighting. The tent where Niu Youdao lived was completely destroyed and no one could even see it. The monks from the three major sects and a group of black-clad masked assassins fought decently.
The monks from the three major sects who had no chance to approach this place before now have a chance to approach. It is impossible not to let them approach. They are here to save people and kill the enemy.
The fighting did not last for a while. The group of black-clad masked assassins quickly evacuated the scene. With the military orders of Shang Chaozong, no one stopped them. They allowed the group of assassins to leave. Only the monks from various factions chased them away.
Shang Chaozong then rushed to the scene of the fight, looked at the corpses of the soldiers lying on the ground, stepped on the bloody water under his feet and inspected the scene, his cheek muscles squirmed fiercely, and suddenly turned back to look at the leaders of the three major sects, and said in a deep voice
: "Assassins fell from the sky and penetrated directly into the central area of our army. Could it be that the air defense built by all the mages for our army was just a decoration? If this continues, in my opinion, there is no need to fight this battle again!"
Meng Xuandao said: "This matter will be investigated in detail and the prince will be given an explanation!" He replied, but his eyes were searching everywhere to see if he could find Niu Youdao's body.
Not to mention Niu Youdao, the bodies of the people around Niu Youdao were not found either.
Meng Xuan and others had already felt vaguely that something was not right before they saw Wu Zhaoxing and others around Niu Youdao take action.
After a while, a monk ran over and reported to the three heads in a low voice: "After we entered the tent, we did not see Niu Youdao. There was no one else in the tent except the escaped 'assassin'.
It can be concluded that Niu Youdao is not here at all."
Aren't there? The three leaders were shocked when they heard the news. Gong Lince turned around suddenly, stared at Shang Chaozong and shouted: "Your Majesty, disciples from our three sects rushed to rescue people. The tent is empty. Niu Youdao is not there at all. What's going on?
What's going on?"
Shang Chaozong said slowly: "It is indeed empty. Master Dao woke up yesterday and left immediately after waking up. Fortunately, he left, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Run away? The faces of Long Xiu and Meng Xuan suddenly turned ugly. Gong Lince said sharply: "Since the people have left, why do the army still pretend to protect this place?"
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said, "This is what I meant. Is there anything wrong with it?"
When something happened, he first took over the responsibility, so that if something unexpected happened, he couldn't let it fall on Shang Chaozong.
Gong Lince became angry, pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, "Does Commander Meng want to see the soldiers die in vain?"
Meng Shanming: "Master Tao has a great influence on the morale of the army in Nanzhou. This arrangement is to prove that Master Tao is still there and to stabilize the morale of the army. There is nothing wrong with doing this, but I never thought that there would be an assassin, and the assassin actually
If you can accurately find the Taoist location, I think there must be something weird about this matter."
Meng Xuan then said: "Even if there is nothing weird, outsiders will mistakenly think there is something weird. I think the assassin did not come for Niu Youdao, but for the prince. This place is surrounded by heavy troops and armor. Anyone who sees it will know it."
I thought it was the center of the Yan army."
The two sides were pulling back and forth, but no results were obtained. As long as nothing happened to Niu Youdao, Shang Chaozong did not want to completely fall out.
As for the three major factions' pursuit of assassins, they actually failed to capture even one assassin.
Later, based on the descriptions of the soldiers at the scene, it was found out that the assassin was from the Zhao State.
The three major factions also gave explanations, saying that two large birds were hijacked by the Zhao State, and the assassins took the opportunity to touch the center of the Yan Army. They scolded the Zhao Army for using all means to break the siege, and they must beware of the Zhao State.
To sow discord and the like.
If Niu Youdao hadn't warned him in advance, and the secret letter of unknown origin reminded him, Shang Chaozong might have believed this nonsense.
Although both parties now know it well, no one has pierced the window paper.
For the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom, Niu Youdao was actually allowed to escape. There is no need to guess how he escaped. He was able to avoid the eyes and ears here and escape. He probably borrowed Yun Ji's escape technique.
A carefully planned murder in collusion with foreign enemies failed to achieve any results. Instead, it made Shang Chaozong no longer trust this side. Long Xiu, Gong Lince and Meng Xuan seemed to be in a bad mood.
He asked to see the master, but the master only said, "Take good care of yourself." Xin Jikui came out of the master's tent very disappointed.
He actually missed it! Looking at his broken arm in the night with the help of the firelight not far away, Xin Jikui felt mixed emotions in his heart.
If something is not accomplished, there is no credit for it. No one wants to mention embarrassing things. He knows that his share of credit has been wasted...
The beautiful land, beautiful mountains and rivers are like a fairyland, Zijin Cave!
Yan Li went down the mountain with suspicion, because the disciples below reported that an old friend of his was visiting outside the mountain gate.
The visitor did not reveal his identity, but only gave him a letter to pass on, saying that he would know who he was after seeing the letter.
Yan Li didn't dare to confirm who the caller was when he saw the letter. The letter contained only a rough date and said he regretted not listening to his advice.
What is this mess?
According to the date on the letter, he had already entered the Tiandu Secret Realm at that time, not long after entering the Tiandu Secret Realm.
It seems that he didn't advise anyone at that time. His status was not important and he wouldn't just pick up someone and give advice. If he didn't say he had advised someone, and the other party didn't listen to his advice, it seemed that only Niu had the right way to persuade Niu Youdao to deal with it perfunctorily.
Chu Fengping from Lingjian Mountain, but Niu Youdao didn't agree.
Could it be that Niu Youdao is here? But according to the news from the front line, wasn't Niu Youdao seriously injured and unconscious among the frontline troops?
With this suspicion in his heart, Yan Li hurriedly arrived outside the mountain gate, where he saw several people who were obviously disguised waiting for him outside the mountain gate.
Yan Li was wary and slowly walked out of the mountain gate and asked, "I wonder who sent the letter to Yan?"
One of them cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Elder Yan is really forgetful. I haven't seen you for a long time. How nice is Elder Yan."
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Yan Li's brows twitched. Looking at the figure of the other party, and the other party deliberately shaking the sword on his waist to show him, who else could it be if it wasn't Niu Youdao?
Just as he was about to laugh with joy, he saw Niu Youdao give him a low-pitched gesture. He immediately stopped smiling and lowered his voice: "Brother, I heard that you were seriously injured on the front line. How come you are here?"
Niu Youdao: "Why did you come? Elder Yan will turn around and ask the head of the palace. He will naturally know."
Yan Li: "You came here suddenly, do you have something to do with me?"
Niu Youdao: "What else can be done? I came here to fulfill my promise. Did Zijin Cave forget that I agreed to join Zijin Cave?"
"Ah?" Yan Li said in surprise: "Now? Brother, are you kidding me? If you join now, once the news gets out and the other two families get into trouble, will the battle on the front line still be fought?"
Niu Youdao: "That's why I came here in disguise. In such a big place as Zijin Cave, I can't even find a place for me to hide, right? As long as Zijin Cave keeps its secrets, outsiders will not know."
"No..." Yan Li looked around carefully and whispered: "Brother, seeing that the war is almost at its end, why rush it? There is no need to take such a risk!"
Niu Youdao: "Hey, that's interesting. I was afraid that Zijindong was worried that I would not keep my promise and that I would burn bridges by crossing the river, so I came here before the war ended. I wanted to show my sincerity. I took the initiative to deliver it to my door.
I put myself as a hostage in the hands of Zijindong, but you are not willing to accept it. Elder Yan, let's make it clear first. It's not that I don't keep my promise, but it's you who drove me away. Since I'm not welcome, then I'll wait.
I'll take my leave now." He bowed his hands and said goodbye.
He really just left without any hesitation, just turned around and left.
What he said didn't sound right. Yan Li became anxious and quickly stretched out his hand to grab his arm, "Don't leave in a hurry! Brother, we're already here. Let's go up the mountain and rest first. Let me do my best as a landlord, so as not to come back and say I'm incompetent."
Favor."
"Go up the mountain, just go up the mountain. Don't mess around. I don't want others to find out. I'm disguising myself. Your behavior makes people suspicious..."
The two of them went up the mountain muttering like this, with Guan Fangyi and others following behind. On the way, Niu Youdao told Yan Li the identities of the people behind them, and Yan Li only looked back a few more times.
When they arrived at a remote guest house, Yan Li pointed at Niu Youdao's face again, "Take off the mask first so that I can see your true face and feel more at ease. Don't act like a fake."
Niu Youdao picked it up as he was told, revealing his true face, but his face was still a little pale, and the injury was too serious, and he couldn't recover even in one or two strokes.
Yan Li had heard about rescuing the hostages based on the news coming back from the front. Seeing that he was still seriously injured, he could not help but sigh.
I have interacted with Tiandu Secret Realm before, and I am well aware of this person's methods, but I never expected that he could be injured like this.
