Chapter 670 670 Acquaintances, swear by the country
Because of this sudden chaos, Xiao Jiuan and Ji Yunkai were unable to leave.
The two turned around helplessly. Xiao Jiuan looked at the panicked people and the guards who suffered heavy casualties. He had no intention of stepping forward to help. He stood in the hall and watched coldly as the guards and the men in black were fighting each other.
The men in black were very powerful in combat, but the guards had an advantage in numbers. Soon the men in black lost their previous advantage and fell into the siege of the guards.
"Why does this man's moves look so familiar?" Xiao Jiu'an stood in front of the palace, far away from the emperor. The man in black was surrounded by guards. Xiao Jiu'an could only see him once or twice.
But these one or two glances were enough for Xiao Jiuan.
"Looks familiar? Have you ever fought before?" Ji Yunkai deliberately lowered his voice to avoid being heard.
If people want to know that Xiao Jiuan is familiar with the assassin, they can't tell clearly even if they have the words.
When Ji Yunkai reminded him, Xiao Jiuan immediately remembered: "This man's moves are a bit like the leader of the Demon Cult."
He had previously fought against the leader of the Demon Cult in Blackstone Mountain.
"Isn't he dead?" Ji Yunkai turned to look at Xiao Jiu'an.
Xiao Jiuan looked ahead and shook his head: "It's just that his whereabouts are unknown. How could such a person... die so easily."
"Since he is not dead, why can't he hide and gather the forces of the Demon Sect and come here to assassinate the emperor?" Although they destroyed the Demon Sect's lair, the Demon Sect does not only have one lair.
The power of the Demonic Cult is spread all over the world, and nowhere is it so easy to eliminate. Xiao Jiuan’s actions in Blackstone Mountain were at most a slap in the face of the Demonic Cult, causing heavy losses to the Demonic Cult. As long as the Demonic Cult was given more than ten years
, the leader of the Demon Cult can definitely make a comeback.
"It's not that easy... Most of the demon sect is from the imperial court, and the leader of the demon sect doesn't dare to reveal the news that he is alive." Xiao Jiuan's voice was also very low.
After all, not everyone can listen to this.
Fortunately, at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the assassin. The civil and military ministers present stood up early and hid in the corner. There were really no people like Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai standing in the hall in the open...
"Assassinating the emperor is a poor strategy. It is impossible for him to break through the siege and kill the emperor by himself." The leader of the Demon Cult has strong martial arts, but it is difficult for him to defeat the four-handed man with his fists. Facing the endless guards, the leader of the Demon Cult
No matter how powerful you are, you will still be tired.
"He has help." Xiao Jiuan looked up at the roof and said firmly.
As if to confirm Xiao Jiuan's words, after he finished speaking, a black figure flew down from the top of the palace, holding a sword in both hands, jumped over the guards, and struck directly at the emperor...
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The eunuch beside the Emperor was the first to notice the movement and rushed forward to block the Emperor.
With a "pop" sound, the sword in the hand of the man in black pierced the eunuch's abdomen. However, the eunuch did not stop, but used hard force to pierce the eunuch's abdomen deeper.
"Well..." The emperor, who was blocked by the eunuch behind him, groaned in pain and his body bent slightly, showing that he was injured.
Seeing this, the man in black drew his sword and stabbed the emperor again, but at this moment the royal spy appeared.
The ghost-like royal spy suddenly appeared and blocked the attack of the man in black.
"Yes, he is very powerful. Even I don't know that there is such a person beside the emperor." As soon as the man in black fought with the royal spy, he pulled off the black cloth on his face without any scruples, revealing his true appearance.
"Li Yuan!" The emperor covered the wound on his abdomen and looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar Li Yuan under the light, his eyes widening involuntarily.
Li Yuan is still the same Li Yuan, but there is a very deep wound on his face, which turns his originally gentle face into a ferocious and terrifying one.
He used to be a serious and silent old man, but now he looks like a ghost, especially his eyes, which have not been destroyed by hatred for more than 20 years. They have completely changed in just one month.
At this moment, Li Yuan's eyes no longer have the calmness they had before. At this moment, Li Yuan's eyes only have hatred and anger.
Such Li Yuan is undoubtedly terrifying, especially to his enemies.
"Your Majesty, we meet again." Li Yuan said coldly, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.
"You actually..." The emperor gritted his teeth and spoke. Before the emperor could finish speaking, Li Yuan interrupted him: "I'm not dead. Isn't the emperor very disappointed?"
"You betrayed me!" The emperor didn't know how much Li Yuan knew, but no matter how much Li Yuan knew, he couldn't admit it at this time.
"Betrayal? Twenty years of loyalty, in exchange for these words from the emperor? Your Majesty... did I betray you, or did your Zhao family feel sorry for me?" Twenty years of loyalty, twenty years of fooling, ended up changing.
Say "betrayal".
Li Yuan wanted to laugh, laugh at his own stupidity, laugh at his own stupidity.
He was so naive that he wanted an answer from the emperor.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." The emperor knew that Li Yuan knew something, but...
There is no evidence of what happened back then. As long as he refuses to admit it, Li Yuan will definitely be shaken.
"I have sold my life for the royal family for twenty years. I just want to ask you, the emperor, did the royal family have any involvement in what happened back then?" All the witnesses and physical evidence of what happened back then have disappeared. Although the face of the demon sect leader is
However, Li Yuan could not guarantee whether the leader of the demon sect had lied to him.
"No." The emperor said without hesitation and decisively.
Li Yuan did not believe him, but pressed him again: "Your Majesty, do you dare to swear? I swear on the strength of the Zhao family."
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of straw ropes for ten years. Now he is really afraid and cannot trust anyone.
However, Li Yuan would be disappointed after all, and it was impossible for the emperor to give him an answer.
"How can you swear so easily about the affairs of the country, the country, and the country? I am the emperor, and if I say no, it means no." The emperor knew in his heart that such things as oaths cannot be taken seriously, but he did not dare to take risks.
If Li Yuan asked him to swear on his life, he could speak without hesitation, but not the Zhao family.
He didn't dare to risk the Zhao family's fortune, even if there was even a slight chance.
"I have watched you grow up, Your Majesty. I know better than you what you care about, Your Majesty. I dare not swear on the Zhao family's power. Your Majesty, you must have a guilty conscience." He finally confirmed it, but Li Yuan did not.
Imagine the shock and disappointment.
He had already understood in his heart, but he just refused to give up, so he had to make such a trip and ask such a question.
"Be brave, what do I have to be guilty of? You are just a Jianghu person. How could the imperial court interfere in Jianghu affairs? Li Yuan, don't be deceived by those Jianghu people. You have forgotten what those Jianghu people did to you back then.
?”
The emperor knew Li Yuan's weakness, but it was too late to say anything now. Li Yuan had already identified the Tianqi royal family as his enemy, and Li Yuan would never be soft on his enemies... (To be continued)
