Liu Ran wanted to say something, but the old man ignored him and kept talking to himself.
"You have no chance. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate really has a reason to kill you, then they will not let you go because of my words. My child, don't blame the teacher. The teacher also hopes that you will not experience too much pain..."
"No chance?" Liu Ran felt that the meaning of the teacher's words was a bit strange. He was still thinking about it, but unexpectedly he felt a cramp in his stomach, "This..."
When Liu Ran wanted to say more, he found that some liquid was tumbling in his belly, pouring crazily from his belly into his throat, blocking his mouth.
Liu Ran fell to the ground, staring at the old man in front of him with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
The old man didn't react at all and slowly took off his mask, revealing an old face.
The mask was placed in the same position again, leaving only one sentence: "That Metropolitan Procuratorate is back again."
…
It was already half past midnight, and new news came on the wind.
Baili Si encountered an attack at the Hanlin Academy and had not yet received any information from the enemy, so he urgently ordered the people around him to go for reinforcements.
As soon as the news came out, nearby members immediately turned around and headed towards the direction of the flames.
The second prince's residence was relatively quiet, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not crazy enough to directly attack the second prince's residence.
Li Xiangyang was in his garden building, looking at the private houses outside.
The rain stopped, there was a touch of moonlight in the night, and the dark shadows on the roofs of various houses gradually became clearer.
Li Xiangyang withdrew his eyes: "There are quite a lot of people."
The ghost-faced man standing next to him whispered: "The Hanlin Academy is a relatively important place for us, and now it has been burned down by the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as they don't get any evidence, it's just a Hanlin Academy. If it's gone, it's gone."
"But with so many of them coming to reinforce, those of us left behind may not be able to resist."
"Just a few people died."
"But if we allow the Metropolitan Procuratorate to kill people wantonly, if we don't counterattack, I'm afraid the other party will think we're afraid of him. And if our subordinates see it, I'm afraid we're unwilling to do so."
"What does Ghost Master mean?"
"Your Highness, let your subordinates go ahead..."
"No, no!" Li Xiangyang seriously denied, "Over there at the Hanlin Academy
With two women watching, there won't be much loss."
"Those two women, one is cunning and cunning, and the other is not loyal, how can you trust them? Your Highness, it is safest to let your subordinates go."
"No need, Master Ghost, it's better for you to stay with me and protect me."
Although the expression of the ghost-faced man could not be seen, he became a little unhappy as he spoke. He asked: "His Highness has never been so careful before... His Highness is unwilling to let his subordinates take action. Is it because of the nonsense of that magician?"
?”
"Master Ghost, you are worrying too much."
"Then why doesn't His Highness let his subordinates go out?"
"I know that Master Ghost is dissatisfied with Taoist Master Ma, but since the bet has been concluded, why not Master Ghost spend the night with me in peace? This also proves that Master Ma is talking nonsense, and I will naturally let him
You killed him. Wouldn’t it increase your risk by going out this time?”
"His Highness said this because he believed in the words of the magic stick in his heart. That's all. Since His Highness has a destiny, I will naturally not leave. But everything happened tonight in the west of the city. There shouldn't be anything going on here, Your Highness.
Just go and rest.”
Li Xiangyang looked at Master Ghost up and down, paused, and nodded: "Go ahead."
Master Ghost felt very depressed, went downstairs angrily, and left the garden.
After seeing Master Ghost leave, Taoist Master Ma came up the stairs from nowhere and came to Li Xiangyang with a smile: "Your Highness, everyone's fate is determined by God. Even if you force him to stay, you can't keep him.
A ghost master cannot escape the fatal knot after all."
"What the Taoist Master means is that Master Ghost will leave quietly tonight?"
"Not only are you leaving, but you will never come back."
Taoist Master Ma's confidence made Li Xiangyang a little uncomfortable. He glanced at him and said coldly: "You'd better not be wrong, otherwise you will have a very difficult life in the future."
At this moment, Master Ghost had left the garden and returned to his room.
Without any hesitation or preparation, he went out directly from the window on the side of the room and reached the street outside the house.
…
The capital cannot be covered up by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Since the sudden arrival at the beginning, all forces have secretly sent personnel to protect their own more important personnel or sites.
There are large and small battles taking place all over the capital. It doesn't matter if you encounter a few dead people on the street.
strangeness.
After the rain stopped, the bloody smell in the capital was obvious, and the cold streets made the atmosphere even more depressing.
The female disciples of Shuiyue Villa, led by Yue Ru, struggled to keep up with the master's speed. They passed three or four streets along the way and saw countless blood stains and corpses on the road. Everyone was a little frightened.
"Senior sister, is this the capital? Why is it so bloody?"
A group of disciples did not stop and suddenly bumped into another group of people at a three-way intersection.
This group of people all wore night clothes and covered their faces. They were moving very fast and almost collided with the people from Shuiyue Villa.
The two groups of people instantly became alert. Yue Ru looked at their attire and saw that they were just face scarves, not masks, and whispered: "We are looking for people wearing masks."
One of the other party replied: "We are also looking for people wearing masks."
After a conversation, they no longer spoke to each other, but they all put away their weapons and passed each other slowly.
The two groups of people passed each other like this, and Yue Ru was about to urge the people behind to hurry up and chase the master. Sun Rou, who was at the back of the group, seemed to have lost her soul and did not follow the group.
No one noticed it at first, but suddenly someone shouted from the team: "Senior Sister Sun Rou, what are you thinking about?"
Yueru looked back and found that Sun Rou was still at the three-way intersection. She felt something was wrong, so she quickly led the team back and asked her: "Hey, what are you doing?"
Sun Rou frowned with a serious expression: "Senior sister, did you notice that there were some weird people in the group just now?"
"Weird? What's weird?"
"I really want to see the two men in black in the middle. Their weapons are Japanese samurai swords..."
"Japanese Katana!"
Hearing these words, Yueru's face changed drastically and she grabbed Sun Rou's shoulders: "Are you sure?"
Sun Rou frowned, but she didn't dare to say these three words, because it was at night, and it was a quick glance, so she didn't know if she saw it right.
At this moment, another person in the team exclaimed: "Yes, I noticed it too! I just didn't think about it carefully!"
"Since not one person saw it, it is very possible!" Yue Ru whispered, "Since there is a Japanese samurai sword in the team, it must be related to the Japanese pirates. You go after the master, Sun Rou and I will follow.
