King Jin and his party were resting in a forest. Although they were just hunting, his guards still formed a three-layer security line. They acted very cautiously. They were worthy of being a team that has been on the road all year round.
King Jin and several young officers were grilling rabbits. The rabbit meat in his hands was almost burnt, but he was still thinking absentmindedly.
"Who is it!" A sharp shout woke up King Jin. He jumped up quickly and held the long sword at his waist with a "swish" in his hand, showing his extremely powerful martial arts.
Li Xuan walked out of the forest with his hands raised, a look of helplessness on his face.
He thought he could approach quietly and observe secretly, but he didn't expect that King Jin's guards were so powerful that they discovered his traces.
"Who are you?" Seeing Li Xuan dressed as a guard, King Jin's men not only did not relax their vigilance, but became more nervous. Five or six people raised their crossbows high. If Li Xuan did anything rash,
I am afraid that I will be pierced by thousands of arrows immediately.
"My name is Li Xuan, Zhu Wei sent me here." Li Xuan knew that it was best to tell the truth in this situation.
"Zhu Wei?" A smile appeared on King Jin's serious face. It seems that he was also deeply impressed by that charming beauty.
"She said that this hunting competition might be dangerous and asked me to protect the second prince." Li Xuan said.
The expressions of King Jin and his men were a bit strange. After a short silence, King Jin was the first to laugh, and the others also laughed wildly, as if they had heard a particularly funny joke.
"Do you think I need your protection?" King Jin raised the long sword in his hand. There was a faint light of blood on the sword. Li Xuan could even hear the wails of countless dead souls in the sound of the sword breaking through the wind.
"Do you know how many people's blood my long sword has drunk? Do you know what kind of dangers these people have experienced? It's really funny that you, a little guard, are talking big words to protect me." After all, King Jin is a prince.
He satirized Li Xuan without any scruples.
Li Xuan's expression remained unchanged. He had already seen that there was no danger nearby. Even if there was any danger, King Jin and his men could probably handle it.
But if King Jin is fine, could it be that Princess Fengling is in danger? Who would deal with a third-ranked and weak heir?
"Prince, maybe this guy was sent from over there." An officer whispered in Prince Jin's ear.
"Over there" naturally refers to the King of Qi. The two princes are now fighting for the throne openly and covertly. It has reached a fever pitch. Not only are they wary of each other, but they also have to secretly make trouble. It is normal for Li Xuan who appears out of nowhere to be suspected.
of.
"Take him down. You will know his identity when you see Zhu Wei later." King Jin put away his sword and gave the order coldly.
Several powerful crossbows were aimed at Li Xuan, and several guards came up and raised leather ropes in their hands to tie Li Xuan up.
Of course Li Xuan would not give up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have other things to do, so I'm afraid I can't stay here. Let's meet again when we have a chance."
As he spoke, he kicked off his feet, and he jumped up like lightning, rushing into the branches of the dense forest.
"Whoosh whoosh!" The crossbow arrows came unceremoniously, but they didn't even hit Li Xuan's shadow.
"Where to go!" King Jin's face sank, and the long sword in his hand unexpectedly left the sheath automatically, turning into a bloody rainbow, making a "clanging" sound in the air, carrying a sharp fighting spirit, and came straight after Li Xuan.
.
The sharp sword was indestructible in the air, and the branches and leaves wherever it hit shattered into pieces, turning into an incomplete rain. However, the speed of Changhong was not inferior to Li Xuan, and she caught up with him in an instant.
"Good guy, this prince's martial arts skills are really amazing." Li Xuan was secretly surprised, but he flashed several times in succession, and the effects of his special training were revealed, and he jumped out quickly, leaving Changhong behind.
Seeing Li Xuan disappear, the long sword lost its target and let out a cry. King Jin's face was as dark as water, and he said sternly to the people beside him: "Find out his identity, I will make him regret it!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud cracking sound in the distance, and the ground beneath his feet even shook a little.
"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?" Although King Jin had experienced countless battles, this was the first time he encountered this situation. He stabilized his body and turned to the direction of the loud noise and vibration.
Everyone in the Wang family hunting ground was stunned by the loud noise and vibration. Wanyan Wu and many ministers were immediately protected. Some people were panicked, some were calm, some were secretly happy, and some were frightened. Everyone
Everyone involved in the huge power whirlpool seemed to know that with this loud noise, the kingdom's chaos had already begun.
Li Xuan was jumping and flying on the tree branches when a huge rumble came, making his eardrums buzz.
"Oops!" Li Xuan immediately judged that the loud noise came from the direction Zhu Wei was going. Against all odds, the target turned out to be Princess Fengling!
On a desolate land, a thick smell of sulfur wafted in the wind. A huge deep pit appeared on the ground. Hot white smoke came out from the bottom of the pit. There were scattered carriage parts and flesh and blood everywhere, indistinguishable.
Those belong to humans and those belong to horses.
When Li Xuan arrived, he felt a hot wind blowing against his face from a distance, which showed how huge the explosion was.
What's even more terrifying is that the ground is full of broken limbs and injured people who are dying. They moan shrilly, turning this wilderness into a hell-like existence on earth.
"What a powerful explosion, I'm afraid only the gunpowder of the barbarians can create it." Li Xuan had stayed in the barbarian country for so long, and he had some knowledge of gunpowder. Just by relying on his sense of smell, he had already judged that the intensity of the explosion was enough to flatten a hill.
He was calculating the time in his mind. When the explosion occurred, Zhu Wei might have already seen Princess Fengling. If that was the case, it would be a disaster.
"Save me!" A weak voice sounded. It was an injured person wearing a guard's uniform. Both legs were broken at the knee and blood was flowing all over the ground. However, the desire to survive made him reach out to Li Xuan and plead bitterly.
.
Li Xuan walked over, leaned over to check his injury, took out a piece of golden sore medicine, crushed it, and sprinkled it on his wound.
The bleeding gradually stopped, but Li Xuan was not a doctor after all, and could not save the life that was gradually losing in his body.
"What happened?" Li Xuan saw that the injured man's mood gradually calmed down and took the time to ask.
There was a strange light flashing in the injured man's eyes, which was the reflection of vitality. He murmured: "...the man in black...the black steel ball...what a scary explosion!"
After turning over and over, the injured man could only utter these few incomplete sentences. It seemed that not only was he severely injured physically, but he also suffered a mental breakdown.
