After a while, as the battle between Shura and the old man with white eyebrows intensified, the pressure-bearing aura quickly spread outwards. Li Yu led everyone to lie down behind a slope. They were originally watching the battle with great interest, but now they were so suppressed that they could hardly breathe.
There were some difficulties, so he couldn't help but suggest to Tang Ji: "My life is at stake, let's withdraw first!"
Hearing this, Tang Ji nodded slightly. This battle was no longer something for rookies like them to watch. Otherwise, as Li Yu said, it would be hard to say whether they could save their lives. He stopped thinking about it and immediately called everyone to retreat.
A battle at the Grand Master level is rare. Song Yao originally wanted to stay and watch the meeting, but considering the safety of Li Yu and Tang Ji, in the end she just raised her eyes and glanced at the two people who were fighting madly in the distance before turning and leaving.
.
In the distance, the old man with white eyebrows noticed Tang Ji leading people to escape, and immediately looked at the old man in black behind him: "Go and deal with Tang Ji!"
The old man in black climbed up tiredly, looked down at the wounds on his body, and glared at Shura fiercely. However, he did not dare to disobey the white-browed old man's order. Without any further thought, he quickly chased after Tang Ji and the others in the direction of their escape.
.
Seeing this, Shura threw out a scimitar in his hand: "Stop, grandpa!"
"It's not good for you to be distracted during the competition!" the white-browed old man reminded, seizing the opportunity to attack Shura.
In the critical situation, Shura could only raise his knife to protect himself, and cursed: "You damn old man, grandpa wishes you a son without any life, bah, you will never give birth to a son, no, no, no, grandpa will take out you now."
pigeon eggs..."
In the mountain road, Song Yao noticed that the old man in black was chasing after him. Fortunately, he was injured, so she had the strength to fight. She immediately said to Li Yu: "Li Yu, you go first, I will stop him!"
"No!" Li Yu replied decisively, and was about to pull her away with him, but when he saw Song Yao standing still, he quickly added anxiously: "I can't put you in danger, there is so much noise here.
If it's that big, it will definitely attract the attention of the Imperial Army!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the man in black chased after him with his palm raised: "Tang Ji, son, suffer death!"
Of course, Tang Ji couldn't stay there and wait for death, but he didn't want to drag everyone down, so he had to squeeze out all the strength he could and ran towards the side of the forest. However, the opponent was using Qinggong, so no matter how fast he was, it would be of no avail.
"Tang Ji!" Li Yu screamed and couldn't help but let go of Song Yao's hand.
One is his best brother, and the other is the person he loves most. He doesn't want anything to happen to any of them, but Song Yao is probably the only one who can save Tang Ji at the moment, but if she rushes forward, she may also be in danger.
middle.......
Just when Li Yu's mind was racing with thoughts, Song Yao had already rushed forward with a long sword in hand. She jumped up high, concentrated all her strength on her arms, and threw the long sword in her hand violently.
The old man in black raised his lips slightly, but did not take the blow seriously and easily dodged it sideways.
But before he could be happy, he suddenly felt that he was being stared at by a pair of sharp eyes, with a strong sense of oppression. This made him suspect that the man with the two swords was chasing after him. When he turned around, he found that he was in the distance.
The fight did not stop, and he looked for his opponent in a panic. Finally, he followed Tang Ji's gaze and found the figure standing behind him. He couldn't help but trembled, raised his fist and threw it back.
But the woman standing behind him was obviously one step faster and pinched the old man in black's neck the moment he turned around.
"Ahem~ You, who are you?" The old man in black struggled desperately.
The woman standing in front of him was dressed entirely in black, with a serious look on her face, without any expression, and said in a cold voice: "Governor of Star Guards, Yu Heng."
Her voice is not loud, but it has strong penetrating power.
Hearing this, the old man in black shook his head suddenly: "Impossible. Isn't Su Ling the only one of your seven-star officials who has reached the master level? How could you..."
"Noisy!" Yu Heng interrupted him, stretched out her hand and tapped the acupuncture points on his chest three times. When the old man in black had completely stopped moving, she turned her attention to the battle in the distance and asked Tang Ji casually.
Said: "Master Tang, are you okay?"
Tang Ji shook his head, took a few big breaths, and sat down on the ground. His back was already soaked with cold sweat. It's God's blessing to be alive today!
Soon, two powerful teams of the Forbidden Army rushed over and quickly surrounded the area.
Li Yu seemed to have found someone to support him. He quickly walked to Yu Heng and pointed to the woods in the distance: "Governor Yu Heng, there is an old man in there!"
But Yu Heng shook his head: "I can't participate in the battle between them."
She had just led her troops to inspect the mountains and forests, and rushed over as soon as she noticed any movement, but she did not expect that two grandmasters would appear. Fortunately, these two were not from the same faction, otherwise it would have been really troublesome. You must know that His Majesty will not be traveling with you this time.
Without the enshrinement of two grandmasters, the total number of enshrinements in the entire imperial city is only three grandmasters!
However, she is a half-step master after all, and it is not difficult to deal with the old man in black at the master level.
"You can't participate, aren't you at the Grandmaster level?" Li Yu couldn't help but ask.
Before Yu Heng could reply, the white-browed old man and Shura suddenly rushed over one after the other. The former raised his sword and charged up his strength and swung it twice in succession towards Tang Ji's position. Two invisible energy swooped down quickly, but
In the end, he was blocked by Shura.
However, the white-browed old man also took this opportunity to fall next to the black-clothed old man, grabbed his collar and flew into the forest: "Everyone, it's time to call it a day, we will meet in the mountains and rivers!"
Shura sneered disdainfully, pointed to the sky and shouted: "You are a coward, you damn old man. If I meet you another day, I will definitely cut off your pigeon eggs!"
After saying that, he put the two swords back behind him. Seeing that Tang Ji was still alive, he smiled, jumped up, and disappeared into the dense forest.
Soon, the imperial guards carried the injured guards down one after another. Among them, Song Xiao's injury was the most serious. Nine bones were broken. It would take half a year to get up. He was held by two people.
He walked up to Li Yu with a pale face and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates failed to protect you."
Li Yu waved his hand casually, saying that Song Xiao would definitely be ranked as the hardest working person in Prince You's palace. We can often see this guy secretly practicing in the palace. Today, it can only be said that his opponent is too strong. No wonder
He said: "Okay, I won't blame you. Just take good care of yourself."
Yu Heng led his people to patrol the surrounding area and then hurried back. During this period, he also understood the ins and outs of the matter. He was a little confused and wondered whether it was necessary to send two master-level masters to assassinate a helpless person like Tang Ji.
And why choose an autumn hunting ground?
But these issues were not something she should think about too much. She put away her thoughts and walked to Li Yu: "Your Highness, for your safety, let's return to the camp quickly."
Li Yu was really frightened by the strength of the master-level master today. He was worried that the opponent would make a comeback, so he ordered everyone to return to camp without thinking much.
...
Soon after, King You and Tang Ji were ambushed in the woods. The news that the assassins were two masters spread like wildfire, causing many officials to be frightened and retreated into the camp. After all, they came here for hunting.
Rather than being prey!
In the main hall of the palace, Emperor Ning is sitting on the main seat above, his face full of anger. He finally found time to hold an autumn hunt but was disrupted by others. If this spreads out, where will he put his face in the future?
He patted the table with his hand: "Thousands of forbidden troops were deployed outside the hunting ground, but they didn't find those assassins. They probably came in with the imperial army. Let me check it out carefully. If someone did it deliberately, I won't let you go easy!"
"
Judging from Yu Heng's description, there are already forces that can cultivate or recruit master-level masters, and there are more than one. There are not many masters in the court. If things continue like this, his position as emperor may not be stable.
After thinking for a while, Emperor Ning couldn't help but look at Tang Ji, who was sitting beside him in a daze. This kid had offended someone from the Yang family recently, but with the Yang family's ability, he definitely couldn't ask a master to take revenge on him.
There is probably another conspiracy behind this incident, and it cannot be ruled out that Beichu and Jiang Guo were involved.
It seems that Tianxuan will have to send more people to protect him during these days!
Tang Jiduan sat behind the desk, his thoughts flying to nowhere. He had encountered assassins from masters before, but those were first-rate and second-rate assassins. He had not worried much since he recruited Sun Yufu, but today
Times are different from the past. The opponents are often at the master level, and even grandmasters appear. Killing him with that kind of strength is as easy as squeezing an ant to death.
Starting to practice today, it is unrealistic to have the ability to protect himself within a few months. From this point of view, he can only train a team that can protect him secretly at all times. Anyway, he is not short of money now...
..
After hearing Emperor Ning's instructions, Yu Heng responded with his hands raised, and then added: "Your Majesty, will the autumn hunting continue?"
Ning Huang looked serious and waved his hand: "Of course we will continue!"
If the common people knew that he was going to cancel the autumn hunting because of the appearance of assassins in the hunting ground, then his majesty as an emperor would not exist. If the news spread to the Ning Kingdom, he would be more likely to become a laughing stock!
Hearing this, Yu Heng nodded slightly. She would not persuade His Majesty. Since His Majesty decided to continue the autumn hunting, she would strengthen patrols and defense forces around the hunting ground. She raised her hand and replied. She was about to turn around and retreat, but was stopped.
A voice from outside interrupted.
"Report, urgent report of northwest military information from eight hundred miles away!"
Hearing this voice, Emperor Ning frowned. He had previously communicated with Su Ling using secret messages. Although they were both urgent, he would never add the words "Northwestern Military Intelligence" and didn't think more about it.
, and immediately ordered the eunuch to bring the person in.
Soon, a soldier in armor with a red face knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the northwest!"
Bai Chang quickly opened the sealed letter and handed it to Emperor Ning.
In just a few breaths, Emperor Ning jumped up from his seat: "Go back to the palace!"
