"Oh, it doesn't matter what the truth is, nor what lies. I hope fellow Taoist can help me clarify my doubts."
"Are you telling the truth? These are just a bunch of clowns. Why should Mr. Qian take it to heart? As for lies, Mr. Qian actually knows what he knows, so why should he say it outright?"
The more Ye Yinfeng listened, the more he felt that it was all out of the blue. He didn't understand the meaning of Li Xiaoyao's words, and his sharp eyes couldn't help but turn to Qian Yi, the young master in Qiu Pao. His eyes flashed,
After thinking for a while, he said with a slight smile: "As expected of the Thirteenth Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I admire you. I am afraid that only the Thirteenth Prince can make such incisive remarks with such unique insights."
Ye Yinfeng was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party had already seen Li Xiaoyao's identity, but he didn't know how the fat man would deal with it next. As soon as the four guards around Qian Yi, the Qiupao Master, heard his words
, couldn't help but hold the sword in his hand tightly, staring at the fat Taoist priest with fearful eyes.
"Mr. Qian, I'm just kidding. Should I call you the Thirteenth Prince or the Thirteenth Prince? It seems that we are really destined. We are both ranked thirteenth among the princes. It's just that I have jumped out of this high wall.
Inside, but Your Excellency is still struggling within this high wall. This may be due to our different destinies, so we look at the problem from different angles, and of course we draw different conclusions. I don’t know what His Highness the Prince thinks."
Li Xiaoyao still had no trouble, so it didn't matter if the other party revealed his identity, he still looked like an unruly mountain Taoist priest.
"Hahaha, it's not easy to get out of this high wall." Qian Yi laughed bitterly, and then said calmly with a helpless expression on his face.
Ye Yinfeng was even more shocked. He did not expect that Qian Yi was also a prince, and what was even more strange was that he was also ranked thirteenth among the princes. Both of them were ranked thirteenth.
Prince, but their fates are completely different. One has already got rid of the struggle for power in the royal family and wanders in the mountains and grass. The other is still running for his own interests and power, but
We must also always be on guard against intrigues among the princes.
As for the identity of Qian Yi, Ye Yinfeng already has the answer in his mind. He is the thirteenth younger brother of the current emperor of Wu Yue Kingdom. Like Li Xiaoyao, he is the younger brother of the current emperor. But he is different from Li Xiaoyao.
What's interesting is that Qian Yi is the prince who has been made public, while Li Xiaoyao has not been made public. Therefore, the fate of the two is very different. As for the thirteenth prince of Wu Yue Kingdom who came to Sanqing Mountain in person, I don't know what the secret is.
Things.
Ye Yinfeng thought in his heart. He did not expect that the other party's background would be so big, and he would go to the Sanqing Mountain alone, which gave him a new view of the royal family. From the bottom of his heart, he had a deep understanding of the government and the government.
The royal aristocrats were very repulsive. Although it was not to say that he disliked them, he still felt that he could never interact with this group. But the first person he interacted with was a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.
, in addition to Li Xiaoyao who has long lost the nobility of the royal family, there is also the cowardly Li Congjia.
At this moment, another thirteenth prince of Wu Yue Kingdom appeared in front of him. This Qian Yi seemed to have another kind of temperament. In addition to the unique nobility of the royal family, his whole body and behavior revealed a leisurely air.
His elegant nature makes people feel good about him unconsciously.
"That's your business, Mr. Qian. Since you are here as a guest in the Tang Dynasty, I will do my best to be a landlord. I don't know how Mr. Qian wants me to help." Li Xiaoyao did not think that the other party was the prince of another country.
He became hostile and instead asked for help.
This made Qian Yi and the warriors around him stunned. They did not expect that the other party would completely ignore their identities and even intend to help. This was beyond their surprise. Qian Yi lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, with a look on his face.
He showed a kind smile. But the four guards beside him said nothing. They were led by Qian Yi, and of course they did not dare to overstep their authority and make their own claims.
Qian Yi stretched out Xiu's fingers and brushed his chin, touching his smooth chin, but his eyes were shining brightly in the morning, and an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile appeared. His eyes were fixed on that
The fat Taoist priest sitting on the stool with a lazy expression was thinking about what the other party was trying to do when he offered to help, and for a while he couldn't make up his mind.
Just when Ye Yinfeng was stunned, they only heard a "bang bang" sound, and a table and stool flew over, hitting the ground heavily, turning into sawdust that shot everywhere. But it was the two sides.
The battle has already divided into high and low levels. In the end, the waiter and the two assassins dressed like beggars were still defeated by the three well-dressed warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles. After dozens of rounds, the three assassins had already revealed their disadvantage.
Seeing that they could not take down these three people for a long time, the three warriors also felt cruel and couldn't help but speed up the attack. They saw the flash of swords and layers of sword curtains rushing towards the three assassins. And the three assassins would
He seemed exhausted and gradually felt a little weak.
The three assassins knew that they had failed, so they stopped fighting. With a feint, the three jumped out of the battle circle and escaped the murderous intent of the three samurai who attacked them. The three immediately jumped to the officer.
The road split into three different directions and fled. As the three warriors were about to catch up, they were stopped by a warrior beside Qian Yi.
The three assassins were about to disappear in front of everyone's eyes. At this moment, several sharp sounds pierced the air and headed towards the three assassins with a solemn aura of roaring away.
Everyone took a sharp breath, looked at it carefully again, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
But I saw three arrow feathers with a long chirping sound swept by the strong wind and shot towards the three fleeing assassins like meteors. The three arrow feathers instantly penetrated through the backs of the three assassins.
, causing several red blood flowers to splash in the air. The three assassins let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground.
The cold wind blew across the face, the cold sun was silent, and three corpses in different positions fell on different ground with a faint pungent blood. A figure had just left the official road and walked towards the fields beside the official road, and there were
The two figures had already approached the foot of the barren mountain beside the official road.
Three arrows, just like the god of death, killed three people in that flash of lightning, but the person who fired the three arrows never appeared. Like a ghost, it has been hovering in the hearts of everyone and cannot be driven away for a long time. The feather belt of these three arrows
The shock was so great that for a moment everyone was silent and did not dare to speak out, fearing that the arrow feathers would be shot at them next moment.
After the three wailings, everyone fell silent, looking at the three corpses with horrified eyes. They had no idea where the three arrows were shot from, let alone who shot them.
out.
Ye Yinfeng was helpless in the face of the sudden three arrows. He shot with bright eyes into the crowd, but did not find any suspicious people. He also felt a chill in his heart because he knew clearly
He could feel the bursts of heart palpitations caused by those three arrow feathers, which were simply the patent of the God of Death. The three arrow feathers roared to a halt with a murderous bloody aura. From the three arrow feathers whizzing past, he could
It can be felt that the person who fired the arrow must be a master with profound internal strength, even far above Li Xiaoyao.
He turned to look at Qian Yi, the young master in fur robes, and found that the other man also had a confused look in his eyes. The seven warriors in costumes who gathered around him tightened their nerves and surrounded him in an instant.
They guarded him in the center. Their eyes showed fear, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their eyes kept darting around. The joints of the hands holding the sabers clenched with too much force made bursts of "squeaks"
"The sound and high concentration caused dense beads of sweat to form on their foreheads.
Since those three arrows, nothing like this has happened again. The person who fired the arrows seems to have disappeared. But the shadow that weighs on everyone's hearts has not disappeared. After all, three living people were killed by those arrows.
in front of their eyes.
Li Xiaoyao still looked indifferent. He sat lazily on the stool, his slightly squinted eyes glowing with an undetectable sharpness. His gaze also kept scanning the crowd. When he identified the crowd
He didn't give up until there was no one he was looking for, and he didn't have any clues at all.
He saw the actions of Mr. Qiupao Qian Yi and his guards. At the same time, he also had doubts. Could it be that Qian Yi didn't know who the person who fired the arrow was? Judging from this situation, the other party was
It is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. Therefore, in this situation where it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, these seven warriors guard Qian Yi tightly in the center to avoid being attacked by the arrow.
At first, Ye Yinfeng thought they were a few suspicious traffickers and lackeys who were mixed in the crowd. He found that the eyes of the traffickers and lackeys standing among the crowd also showed horror, and their faces turned pale.
Their fear is different from the fear of others. Their fear is the kind of fear that comes from their bones. They don’t know when the heavy wooden box under their feet was put far away, and they don’t dare to touch it at all.
any action.
Although assassins must have the courage to move forward, they dare not act rashly if they are not sure. If they are not sure of killing with one hit, they will never risk their lives. After all, assassins are not dead soldiers.
, although they act with their heads in mind, they still attach great importance to their wealth and life.
Of course Ye Yinfeng also knew that perhaps it was the two variables of him and Li Xiaoyao that prevented the other party from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, so he gave up the idea of assassinating again. Judging from their behavior, I am afraid they have given up on the assassination of Qian Yi and added
The archers hiding in the dark made them even more afraid to make any move.
"It's murder, everyone, run away." There was a scream of terror from the crowd, and everyone reacted immediately and fled in all directions. But the arrow never appeared again, submerged in the cold
Under the sunlight, it disappeared as silently as a sound.
Everyone panicked and fled in all directions like birds and animals. For a moment, there were no other guests in the wine shop. In addition to Li Xiaoyao and others, there were also eight masters and servants of Qian Yi. The other people wished that their parents would give them more money.
They can run as fast as they can with the number of legs they have. Those who carry burdens, carry goods, and push carts all escape like the plague, leaving no one else behind.
After a while, there was still no movement, but the seven guards surrounding Qian Yi still did not take it lightly. They looked around cautiously.
"Okay, it's okay. If the other party wants your young master's life, they won't wait until this time. They will attack when there are many people, which can create more chaos, so that they can escape better. Mr. Qian's move can be
The so-called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger is a good game of chess." Li Xiaoyao returned to calling him son. Although he knew that the archer was definitely not sent by Qian Yi, he still wanted to confirm it.
"Fellow Daoist Xiaoyaozi is joking. How can I have such great power? This secret archer is indeed arranged by me." When Qian Yi heard this, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said sadly. Then he gave instructions.
A warrior went to get the arrow feathers that had shot into the three assassins to see if he could find any clues on the arrow feathers.
After the guard took back the blood-stained arrow feathers and sent them to Qian Yi's hands. Mr. Qian looked at them carefully for a moment, and then gave the arrow feathers to Li Xiaoyao for inspection. After everyone took turns to look at them carefully,
But they looked at each other in confusion, because it was impossible to see any useful clues from the arrow feathers.
After confirming that there was no more danger, they broke into the back hall of the wine shop and found a man with a broad head and big ears tied up with ropes. This man was the owner of the wine shop. There was also a cook.
Trembling, he hid aside.
Although there was no danger, Qian Yi's seven guards were more vigilant. They followed Qian Yi every step of the way. Although they were hostile to Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng, they also obviously reduced their hostility.
many.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng watched the group of people in bright clothes and angry horses galloping on the official road. In a moment, they fell into the mountains and gradually disappeared from their sight.
"Let's go, we must get to Jinling City as soon as possible. I'm afraid something big is going to happen in the palace at this moment. I hope we can get there in time. Alas, why do you think this Taoist has such a miserable life? Although he is far away from the world, he can still endure it.
I can’t worry about the secular affairs in the temple.”
Li Xiaoyao stared forward and said to Ye Yinfeng worriedly. At this moment, he showed off his unruly image and his expression was extremely solemn and serious. Ye Yinfeng was even more shocked. He had never seen the other party like this before.
With a solemn expression, maybe something big is going to happen in the Imperial City of Jinling thousands of miles away.
