In the inner city, Yi Ji was guarded by two cold-looking warrior warriors, and did not return from the royal ancestral temple until evening.
Four days have passed since entering the imperial city, and the coffins of Xishu, his wife, and Bai Yi have long been moved to the imperial ancestral temple. After resting for four days at the inn at the entrance to the inner city of Xiling, I originally wanted to
Fang Caiwei and Wu Shi were left behind to monitor the movements in the inner city. Unexpectedly, Fang Caiwei still walked out of the room with him regardless, so he had no choice but to follow her.
Seeing Yi Ji walking out, Lie Xiling and the two men who had been waiting at the inn outside the inner city flashed and disappeared immediately. They reappeared, having changed into two sets of Martial God Guards' uniforms, and stood hundreds of feet away from where Yi Ji stayed.
On the outer city wall.
The dusk was deep, and bits of cold mist pressed down, covering the entire imperial city.
Seeing that Haishi had passed, several figures gradually appeared a hundred feet away from the outer city. Then the autumn fog began to rise, and the clouds became thick, and they jumped towards the top of the city one by one. In his perception, although the dozens of people who came were in the army,
He is already a leader, but in the eyes of cultivators, his combat power is only equivalent to the ninth level of awakening.
But in addition to these dozen people, there are still three complex and unidentifiable auras, and they are vaguely masters of the Five Elements Realm.
Lie Xiling condensed Qi into a line, and his perception instantly swept hundreds of feet away. Within these hundreds of feet, there was no suspicious person. With the strength of a first-level master of the Five Elements, if he wanted to kill Yi Ji, he would have to use
Don't get too close.
The dozen people jumped up to the top of the city. Lie Xiling had already taken it out. The Tianhe Pill in his hand was immediately shot out when the opponent was ten feet away. The shadow of the bloodline grass was covered by the night. At this time, a dozen people
The man in black had blood holes on his forehead. He couldn't even make a sound before he was intercepted and killed by the two men.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, there was still no movement. The three figures that had not moved all this time appeared in the blink of an eye. It must have been an agreement before. If within half a stick of incense, the person who had spearheaded the assassination of Yi Wuwei had not
After turning back, they took other actions.
Lie Xiling saw that the other party had stepped within a hundred feet, and then he signaled Fang Caiwei to rush towards the city with him. For these three people, he had to ensure that they would be killed with one strike. If the guards in the city were alerted, it would cause too much inconvenience.
The two of them hid under the city wall. Five breaths later, three figures shot out.
"Caiwei, follow the steps I planned with you before." As soon as Lie Xiling finished speaking, his body suddenly rose hundreds of feet, and then four war thoughts were slashed out, and the energy in the entire area was faintly affected by him.
.
The three people who came just felt that even the Yuan Power in their bodies was restrained by the war thoughts, and then a square cauldron of tens of feet in size appeared behind them, and an emperor's mulberry tree that was several feet tall stood in the square.
In the pool, he suddenly bumped into the three of them!
The three of them just wanted to fly away, but it was over. The moment Lie Xiling jumped up, he had already crushed a middle-grade Yuan Crystal. Then, with a roar, the Wufeng Ancient Sword pierced through the chest of a cultivator.
, bringing up a huge cloud of blood.
The black token in his sleeve was also shot out by him at the same time, hitting the head of another cultivator who was shocked by the thoughts of war. Two big five-element soul thoughts flew out and were absorbed by the black token.
On Fang Caiwei's side, the emperor's daughter Sang Xuying had already covered the seriously injured cultivator. Only a few muffled sounds were heard, and then there was no sound.
Three first-level cultivators of the Five Elements who came to attack Yi Ji died within three breaths!
At this time, the door of Yiji's house opened, and a pair of Martial God Guards officers saw that it was Lie Xiling and Fang Caiwei. Their faces showed joy. They briefly explained to Yi Ji that the Martial God Guards officers had already walked out and took those people away.
The assassin's body was disposed of.
To the south of the inner city, in a separate hall, the Marquis of Jin bowed and sat on a wicker chair. From time to time, he smiled and looked at Bai Hu, who was sitting on the main seat: "Your Majesty, the son of Yiji will not eat the fine wine for the toast."
, but now that the Nanli Dynasty has just settled down, it is inevitable that there are still remnants of the old Yunwu Guards in the imperial city..."
"Okay, this matter is up to you. Since Yi Ji insulted my royal family, it will be difficult to control him in the future. It's best to get rid of him!" Bai Hu's eyes were burning, and then he looked back behind him without saying a word, only smiling lightly.
The man in gray clothes couldn't help but ask: "What do you think, Master Situ? Is there any use in keeping this Yiji kid?"
When the man in gray clothes saw him asking himself, he straightened his sleeves before replying: "What Zuo can say depends entirely on your words. It doesn't matter whether Yi Ji is alive or dead, but he is now on the throne.
You must act carefully, your Majesty, so as not to follow the truth."
It wasn't until Bai Hu spoke that the Marquis of Jin realized that this man who had been silent all this time was actually the Great Situ who instigated the political upheaval in the Nanli Dynasty. It seemed that this Great Situ had been with this Rong before he hooked up with Bai Hu.
The prince of the country has a plan, and the plan is so deep that even he, the prince of the dynasty, feels inferior to him.
The eyes looking at the two people couldn't help but change at that moment, and they were even more afraid of Bai Hu.
Marquis Rongguo, who was able to deploy men throughout the entire dynasty before the war started, was definitely not willing to be just a "Marquis Rongguo". He was afraid that many princes in the dynasty had long been part of his scheme.
The next day, Yi Ji rushed to the ancestral temple to burn incense and paper for Xishu and Bai Yi. When he turned around the palace, he met the Marquis of Jin State. He was slightly flustered, and then he pretended to be relaxed and greeted him. Yi Ji sneered in his heart.
, already had a clue about the assassination the night before.
After returning to his residence, Lie Xiling immediately came with Fang Caiwei. When Yi Ji explained what he saw today, Lie Xiling already had something to worry about.
Another half month passed, and Lie Xiling stayed in Yiji's mansion. After Xishu and his wife were buried with Bai Yi, Bai Hu, the Marquis of Rongguo, began to reward the military guards who performed outstandingly in the Nanli War. After enfeoffing Yiji
When he was the chief of the Wushen Guards, Yi Ji suddenly mentioned that the new emperor had established a marquis in the army.
Bai Hu didn't know anything about this, but after the Marquis of Jin saw that he was riding a tiger and found it difficult to get off, and went out to report it, Bai Hu reluctantly admitted his identity as Liexiling's "Commoner Marquis".
Not only all the soldiers of the Wushen Guard knew about this matter, but also most of the soldiers in the armies of the princes and kings knew about it, and Bai Hu had no way of denying it.
Lie Xiling has stayed in Nanli Imperial City for nearly three months. From time to time, he would think of Yun Ziyi who rushed back to Nanli Imperial City after Zhou Wan's wedding and saw that Nanli's dilapidated imperial city had been renovated.
Lie Xiling and Fang Caiwei left the city, met Wu Shi, and searched around the city.
However, Yun Ziyi's figure was not found, and it was not known whether she had returned to the sect.
In the early spring of the next year, Bai Hu held a post-war enthronement ceremony. It was called to disperse the haze of war, but in fact it was just to show his ambition. On the day of the ceremony, except for the people in the court who heard that a new prince had been conferred, they did not
You can see the commoner Junhou who sees the dragon's head but not its tail.
Just when the ceremony was about to end, Lie Xiling, who was dressed as a minister, flashed into the hall without concealing his identity as a cultivator. Fang Caiwei and Wu Shi, however, were dressed in simple Wu clothes and ladies' clothes, following Lie Xiling. Behind Xiling.
When the Martial God Guard sergeants and a group of awarded Martial God Guard generals outside the palace saw him coming, they immediately shouted in unison: "Greetings to Mr. Liehou!" without any regard to the fact that they were in the court at this time.
There was silence in the main hall, but Lie Xiling didn't care. He stared straight at the new Emperor Nanli who had already stood up from the throne, his eyes were burning, and he said lightly: "I know you."
Without stopping, he turned to the side of the Marquis of Jin. At this time, the Marquis of Jin had been promoted to the prime minister of Nanli by Bai Hu. Lie Xiling looked at the Marquis of Jin for a while, and then he smiled and said: "Master Hou is really glorious. The addition of the body is just the merit of the Western Prime Minister, I hope the Marquis will take good care of himself..."
The Marquis of Jin's face changed several times, and it was not until he took a few breaths that he suppressed his unreasonable thoughts, and said with a dry throat: "Nanli survivors like me will never forget Xixiang's contribution, so please rest assured, Lord Lieutenant. "
Lie Xiling's expression did not change as he glanced at the many officials from the Nanli Dynasty in the court one by one with cold eyes. Only when he saw his old acquaintance of the Martial God Guard, did the coldness on his face subside slightly.
Ever since Lie Xiling confided the words "I know you" to him, Bai Hu's mind has been ups and downs like a stormy sea. He had already asked the Marquis of Jin carefully about the friendship between the "Commoner Marquis" and his brother Bai Yi. I am afraid that my identity has long been seen through by this cultivator.
He was gnashing his teeth secretly, but he knew too much about the hunt for Xiling. Not to mention that he was a civil emperor who was just a raccoon cat in exchange for a prince. There were dozens of masters of the Five Elements who died under the reputation of the 'Common King'. In front of the other party, he himself is just a clown.
Bai Hu's complexion changed rapidly, and it was not until dozens of breaths later that he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Buyi is cheerful by nature, and he is joking with everyone, so don't worry about it."
All the princes of the Nanli Dynasty have more or less heard of Liexiling's reputation in the military. At this time, they only dared to talk to him obediently. How could they dare to be disrespectful at all?
"Oh, is this really a joke?" Lie Xiling raised his eyebrows. Although Bai Hu's demeanor made him feel less disgusted, the hatred in his heart had already been forged, so how could he let it go so easily: "I don't know what your Majesty is doing here. In the past six months, have you sent anyone to look for Xihuo’s deputy military commander who escaped after being plotted against?"
"It's natural. The Xi clan has sacrificed too much for our Nanli dynasty. I, the Nanli Bai clan, will naturally get to the bottom of it!" Before Bai Hu could speak, the great Situ beside him, dressed in palace attire, had already answered.
"You are a member of the royal family? Why should I answer for your Majesty?" Before Bai Hu could react, Lie Xiling suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward. A burst of energy shot out from his fingertips, and instantly hit Situ's knees. penetrate.
"By overstepping one's duties, you have violated the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, and you should be punished! Your Majesty is still alive, so there is no need for slaves like you to come out and talk nonsense. The merits of the Xi clan will naturally be decided by your Majesty."
Lie Xiling's eyes were so cold that all the civil servants and generals in the hall did not dare to say a word. Only Yi Ji showed enthusiasm in his eyes, and with tears in his eyes, he took the lead in the line and raised his hand to Bai Huyi: "Your Majesty, Nan Yi Ji, the commander of the Liwu Guard, begs you to mobilize the whole country to find the whereabouts of the Commander of the Wu Guard. If it can be found, I, Yi Ji, would rather give up my position as the Commander of the Wu Guard."
"I also ask your Majesty to mobilize the whole country to find the whereabouts of the guard commander of Xihuo Wu!" All the old soldiers of Xihuo nodded towards Yi Ji and bowed down deeply.
"Okay, just follow what Yi Wuwei said. Even if you search the entire Nanli Dynasty, you must find the commander of the Xihuowu Guard." Bai Hu's face was ashen, but he had to make a promise.
Seeing this, Lie Xiling stopped staying and turned out of the palace while speaking: "I hereby make a promise that if Xihuo is still alive or there are still descendants, I will take one of them away as the heir to the Buyi Hou Mansion.
.”
When Bai Hu saw Lie Xiling turning around and walking out of the palace, Wu Shi and Fang Caiwei followed him and left. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a familiar voice suddenly rolled in his mind: "Yi Ji died, Nan Li died. Rong Guo died.
Hou, I hope you will be kind to the people of Nanli so that you can take care of yourself!"
