Dongshi is not far from Prince You's Mansion, and there are still pedestrians on the street, so Cheng Tie doesn't drive the carriage very fast. He holds the horse rope, turns his head, and asks Tang Ji in the carriage: "Brother Tang, are we
Should this bookstore in Kyoto still be called Jiran Bookstore?"
Tang Ji was leaning against the side window in a daze. He was brought back to reality by his words and smiled calmly: "Of course, Ji Ran Bookstore is a time-honored brand!"
"Oh." Cheng Tie nodded and continued to ask: "Then when will we move out of the palace?"
"Huh? Is it uncomfortable to live in Prince You's Mansion?" Tang Ji asked.
Cheng Tiehan laughed twice and explained: "The palace is so big, it must be comfortable, but there are too many rules. I forgot to salute Brother Li a few days ago, but the old housekeeper pointed at my nose and scolded me, and Old Man Sun
, he was also talked about when he was lying in the yard eating roast chicken a few days ago, and he almost couldn't restrain himself and killed the housekeeper, making him feel a little uncomfortable."
Tang Ji nodded slightly. It was indeed not a problem to have been living in Li Yu's house. For example, he sneaked into Jiang Ran's room a few days ago and was seen by the peeping tom. But now his money is placed in the bookstore and pastry shop. He has to wait.
Only after they stabilize can they consider looking for a mansion.
Having said that, Tang Ji regretted bringing Sun Yufu here. The old guy was like a gold-swallowing beast. He ate and drank all day long and didn't know how to work.
But then he thought, he had better not do any work, otherwise he would not be wasting money, but his life!
Tang Ji shook his head and was about to reply to Cheng Tie when the carriage suddenly stopped, followed by bursts of exclamations from outside.
At this time, the sky was getting dark and the light was very weak, but it was still possible to see eight black-clad and masked people standing on the surrounding houses. The people on the street were frightened and fled. Cheng Tie took out the bag under his seat.
Holding a long knife, he stared around cautiously.
Tang Ji looked up at the assassins through the curtains, and when he saw them reaching for their sleeves, he couldn't help but think of a scene from a costume drama in his mind. He was afraid that in the next second, countless hidden weapons would shoot directly through the carriage, so he fled quickly without any hesitation.
car.
Facts proved that his idea was not wrong, as the eight assassins simultaneously released flying knives, flying blades and other hidden weapons, directly turning the carriage into a skeleton.
Tang Ji jumped off the carriage and hid next to the reddish-brown horse: "Granny, is the security in Kyoto so bad? Isn't there anyone to control these assassins committing crimes in the streets?"
The few people standing on the roof were also afraid of the long nights and dreams. If the Forbidden Army came in the city, not only would they not be able to kill each other, but they might also be left alive. Although they were all dead soldiers, no one wanted to live. After looking at each other, they all
He took out his sword and dived towards Tang Ji.
At this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed on the roof of the carriage. He pulled out the sword from his waist and swung it around his body. A colorless sword energy rushed out directly.
"Pfft~"
The next second, eight people were vomiting blood in the air, their bodies were pushed everywhere by a force, and they never got up again.
Seeing this scene, Tang Ji was a little sluggish, and his Adam's apple trembled slightly. This was too exaggerated. He killed eight people in seconds without losing any blood. Is the force setting in this world too high?
He traveled through ancient times, not a fantasy world!
Then, Tang Ji turned his attention to the man standing on the roof of the car. He saw that this man had retracted the blade and was wearing black clothes. Even his face was blocked by a black gauze with a hat, but from his figure
It was not difficult to tell that he was a man. He coughed lightly and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for saving me."
"There is no need to say thank you for being entrusted by others." Xiao Yong replied calmly.
Entrusted by someone?
Who would find someone to protect themselves secretly?
Tang Ji looked suspicious and asked tentatively: "Don't you know the name of your senior?"
"Xiao Tian!" After Xiao Yong answered, he raised his eyes slightly and found that the Forbidden Army had arrived in the distance. He was about to leave, but was stopped by a voice.
"I didn't expect you would dare to come back."
Su Ling wore a white training uniform and walked out of the street behind Tang Ji.
Xiao Yong turned to look and sneered: "General Su, you are well."
Su Ling glanced at Tang Ji, walked to the lifeless assassin, picked up the long knife that fell beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Tian, I let you run away back then, I want to wash away the shame today.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped into the air, swung his long knife, and attacked Xiao Yong with a devastating force.
Xiao Yong had no ink mark and directly drew his sword and struck back.
"boom!"
The two invisible forces quickly collided together, making a loud noise, and the remaining power dispersed around, causing the wooden buildings on both sides to tremble slightly.
Gods fight, mortals run for their lives!
Without thinking, Tang Ji took Cheng Tie and hid behind a cart in the distance, then stuck his head out to observe the battle situation.
Su Ling landed on the roof and narrowed her eyes slightly: "I didn't expect you to reach the master level."
"In front of the strength of Grand Master Su, Xiao will not dare to make a mistake." Xiao Yong chuckled, and then swung several sword energy at the opponent, then turned into an afterimage and disappeared on the spot.
"Hmph!" Su Ling snorted and skillfully avoided all attacks, but did not choose to continue the pursuit. If the opponent chose to fight, he was confident that he could capture him, but if a master chose to escape, there was nothing he could do.
, seeing the Forbidden Army blocking the street, they walked slowly towards Tang Ji.
Tang Ji also quickly walked out from behind the cart, cupped his hands and said, "I pay my respects to General Su."
"Well, you're not injured, are you?" Su Ling asked.
Tang Jidian smiled and shook his head, then looked at the direction Xiao Tian escaped and asked doubtfully: "General Su, do you know that person?"
Su Ling nodded slightly, with memories emerging in his mind, and explained: "Well, this man is a famous thief in the world. About six years ago, he sneaked into the palace to steal treasures. I caught him and beat him seriously. Later, he sneaked into the palace to steal treasures.
We searched the whole city but couldn't find him, so the matter went unsolved and became the only shame in my life. I didn't expect to see him again and he also entered the master's strength. But, you and him?"
Seeing the other party staring at him, Tang Ji quickly raised his hand: "General Su, don't get me wrong, I don't know him!"
"Don't be nervous. I just heard the conversation between you and him. I just don't know who is protecting you behind your back. But no matter what, just be fine. I will report this matter to Your Majesty, let the court investigate thoroughly, and return it to Master Tang."
Just justice." After saying that, Su Ling threw out the long knife in his hand, but the long knife directly pierced the surrounding cart.
Hearing this, Tang Ji breathed a sigh of relief. If this had something to do with a gangster, then he, a ninth-grade official, might be in trouble. He adjusted his expression and said, "Thank you, Mr. Su."
Su Ling turned around and ordered to the captain of the Forbidden Army beside him: "Take the bodies of these people back, and the rest will restore the streets to normal."
"Yes!" The captain of the Forbidden Army clasped his fists in salute, and then commanded the surrounding soldiers.
Soon, the news of Tang Ji's assassination spread quickly, attracting the attention of many forces.
In the palace, Emperor Ning received the news just after dinner. He was relieved to learn that Tang Ji was fine, and then became really angry.
"You are so brave. You commit murder in the streets of Kyoto. If you dare to kill Tang Ji today, let me find out if you will kill me tomorrow!"
