At the pier of Qianyang Prefecture, drums and music were blaring, and flags covered the sky. The Emperor's guard of honor, which was grand in scale and full of dignity and majesty, slowly walked towards the pier as the people of Qianyang Prefecture knelt down to greet it.
Today is the day when Xiao Chengyi leaves Qianyang Mansion and takes the waterway to Jiangzhou County.
Xiao Yu led a group of officials from the Chief Secretary of Guizhou and Guizhou. When they saw Xiao Chengyi approaching, they immediately knelt down on the ground and performed a worship ceremony. The sound of shouting "Long Live the Mountain" spread throughout the surroundings.
During the ceremony, Feng Bao respectfully opened the door of the jade carriage.
Xiao Cheng, who was wearing an imperial robe, a twelve-jade crown on his head, and a raging dragon sword on his waist, was about to step out of the jade chariot when he suddenly heard a loud bang.
An overflowing force of energy stirred up billowing smoke and came from behind the cruising frame.
In an instant, I heard the guarding Imperial Army General shouting hurriedly:
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
The sound of the general shouting for help, the sound of swords being unsheathed, the sound of armor plates clashing, and the neighing of war horses, all these sounds merged together at this time, making the people around them panic and rush back.
Xiao Cheng frowned suddenly and walked straight out of the jade carriage. Not far behind the carriage, he saw two sword energy phenomena condensing and emerging.
The force of the sword on one side was fierce and fierce, and at this moment, a strange phenomenon of mountains, rivers and flowing clouds was condensed. As the sword was swayed horizontally, the sword energy pressed across the mountains and rivers, and swayed the flowing clouds.
The sword intent on the other side is majestic and gentle, showing full tolerance. The majestic river flowing into the sea is condensed, and there are sparkling ripples on it, just like the sword force and sword energy, which are continuous.
Just by looking at the two sword intents that were clashing at this moment, Xiao Cheng could recognize that they were still the two swordsman masters who fought in the Yingjia Courtyard that day!
The sword energy of the two parties competed, and the fight continued. After colliding with each other, the strength formed by the sword energy dissipated and surged in. The sword energy was still somewhat sharp, blowing and causing pain on the face.
The people around him were already panicking, but at this moment they were attacked by the overflowing power and felt the sharp touch. They immediately thought that it had affected them, and became even more panicked, even to the point of being stampeded.
Something happened, and there were screams and wails.
It was difficult for the local county soldiers and officers to maintain order at this time. Even the Imperial Army generals who were guarding the carriages were restrained and were thrown into disarray by the panicked common people.
Xiao Cheng looked at the chaos around him, and his eyes were cold at this moment.
The two people took action at this time, disturbing the order of the city and hindering the march of the ceremonial guard. No matter who was the enemy or the friend among the two, they had already committed the crime of rushing and causing chaos. If no punishment was imposed, wouldn't it mean to beat him?
Cheng, the face of Dayun Kingdom?
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng stroked the hilt of the Raging Dragon Sword with his right hand, and his body suddenly became extremely dignified, full of majestic and oppressive aura, covering the surrounding space, as if the surrounding space had been plunged into a quagmire, making people feel helpless at all.
Unable to move.
The Raging Dragon Sword was unsheathed, and the sound of dragon roars sounded out.
The next moment, sword light suddenly filled everyone's sight, and it was so dazzling that the sun in the sky lost its former brightness.
The majestic and deep internal force was swung out from the Raging Dragon Sword, condensing the strange phenomenon of the Raging Dragon, and roared away.
The power of its sword is majestic and domineering, showing that the emperor looks down upon the world and no one dares to disobey him. It is the sword of the emperor that no one in the world can resist!
The sword energy soars into the sky, looks horizontally and vertically, and roars into the distance between two sword energy clashes.
The "bang" sound of explosion sounded again, and its momentum was much louder than before.
Except for some people with advanced martial arts skills, everyone present was shaken to the point of dizziness, tinnitus, and eyesight, and fell to the ground uncontrollably. The street was no longer as chaotic as before.
And with the appearance of the Raging Dragon Sword Qi, the two swords and swords that were fighting each other just now melted away like ice and snow. Even the vision condensed by the two masters in the sky was at this time.
Cleaned up. Only a little bit of residual sword energy is left, gradually disappearing into nothingness.
Xiao Chengchuiqi moved slightly and shouted in a deep voice:
"Rectify order and treat the people..."
The crowd of Dongchang fans around Xiao Cheng, the guards at Sticking Station, and the generals of the Forbidden Army hurriedly bowed and saluted, and shouted:
"I will obey your Majesty's orders!"
Xiao Cheng raised his hand and slowly put the Raging Dragon Sword back into its scabbard. Just when he was about to return to the jade chariot, he suddenly felt something in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"Yuhuatian!"
Yuhuatian was shocked and quickly responded respectfully:
"The slave is here!"
"Send someone to check it out!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Although Xiao Cheng didn't say who it was at this time, Yu Huatian obviously knew very well that he was talking about Gongsun Ying!
Although until now, Xiao Cheng has not figured out who the swordsman master who competed with Gongsun Ying twice in succession is. But today's movement may have alerted the snake. It is difficult to guarantee that those assassins will still be there tonight.
Be brave enough to take action.
When Xiao Cheng mentioned Gongsun Ying at this time, he obviously wanted Yuhuatian to send people to follow Gongsun Ying's clues to see if they could follow the clues and find the assassins hiding behind the scenes.
At this time, not far from the Qianyang City Pier, Feng Chu and the people from hundreds of families who participated in the assassination all looked in the direction of Xiao Chengyu's chariot.
Seeing that the Raging Dragon Sword Qi had just been released, easily destroying the sword Qi of the two men who were said to be the best swordsmen in the world, everyone fell silent in unison.
The famous scholar Cen Zhiyong hesitated many times, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, swallowed his saliva, and asked:
"Zhuang Zuan, Lian Yixiu... can you beat me if you two attack together?"
Wearing a plain Taoist robe and having an extraordinary temperament, he looked like Zhuang Zuan, who was born in Taoism. Hearing Cen Zhiyong's inquiry, he pondered for a moment, and then said in a serious tone:
"Although Emperor Yun's sword is just a glimpse, it is enough to prove that the rumors that Emperor Yun has entered the realm of land gods are true. Even though he has just stepped into the realm of land gods, at Emperor Yun's current age, it is really true.
It’s really unbelievable! No wonder there are rumors in the world that it is a heavenly being coming to earth..."
Cen Zhi slammed his forehead with the folding fan in his hand and said bitterly:
"It's over, it's over!"
Lian Yixiu, who was born in Legalism, had an iron ruler on his waist, and had a serious face, at this time he answered:
"There are no imperial troops, no masters, let's go together, 70%!"
When Lian Yixiu spoke, he cherished his words like gold, but the meaning was already expressed.
There are no imperial troops around Xiao Cheng, and he is protected by expert guards. Zhuang Zuan and Lian Yixiu work together, and the chance of winning is 70%.
Hearing this, Cen Zhiyong felt slightly certain in his heart, but soon he frowned and said uncertainly:
"Then tell me, will Emperor Yun hide his cultivation?"
When everyone present heard this, they all shook their heads and said in unison:
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Zhuang Zuan was the first to retort:
"My Taoist saying is that humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature. All things in the heaven and earth must follow the laws of nature. Emperor Yun is not yet twenty years old, unless he really comes to the world.
Transcend the rules of heaven and earth, otherwise with the help of national destiny, we will not be as good as the land of immortals. This is the limit, and there is no possibility of going further!"
These people have entered hundreds of schools of thought since childhood, studied profound classics, and practiced hard all their lives. It also coincides with the great changes in the world, and only two of you here have been able to enter the realm of land gods.
Xiao Cheng is less than 20 years old now. Even if his talent is outstanding, after the great changes in the world, the fate of the country and the dynasty gather in him, which can be worth their lifetime cultivation. Entering the realm of land gods at such an age is already the limit they can accept.
.
Cen Zhiyong could hear the words, but felt that he had thought too much, and couldn't help laughing.
Feng Chu coughed lightly and said with some regret:
"I wanted to take action tonight, but it's a pity that this time I have alerted the enemy, and the masters lurking around Yunhuang may be more dangerous. However, I tested Yunhuang's method, but it was also an accident..."
Before Feng Chu finished speaking, Shi Mingyi on the side interrupted directly:
"not necessarily!"
When Feng Chu heard this, he was stunned for a moment. All the people present also focused their attention on Shi Mingyi.
"She has my Confucian treasure with her, which can cover her aura and isolate her from temptation. And since her identity is now hidden, she may not be in bad luck!" Shi Mingyi said calmly.
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they all said:
"In other words, there is still salvation!"
"If there is no need to forcefully surround and kill, that would be the best!"
The Yun Kingdom's army is famous for its bravery and bravery. Even with the help of the Mohist machine beasts, it can hold back the Yun Kingdom's imperial army and forcibly surround and kill the Yun Emperor. Everyone will be under great pressure.
If the assassination can be successful, that would be great!
When Feng Chu heard this, he said with some regret:
"It's a pity that the stick-stick area in the East Factory was too guarded, and my embroiderer's people were not able to get on board. Otherwise, they could have been used as contacts..."
At this time, Shi Mingyi said in a deep voice:
"Tonight is a God-given opportunity for her. If she can take action, she will definitely not give up. In this case, she will change her plan tonight. She does not need to go all out, as long as she can attract the attention of the Yun Kingdom's forbidden army and the masters of worship.
.”
"If we can see chaos on the dragon ship tonight, it means that her assassination was successful. If there is no abnormality, you don't need to fight to the death, just retreat immediately, wait for the right time in the future, and then forcibly assassinate!"
Hearing this, Cen Zhiyong suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth, clicked his tongue twice, and said unabashedly:
"You Confucians talk so much about morality and righteousness, but you always tell others to listen to the co-author? He was invited by your Confucians, not one of your own disciples, so you don't feel bad about selling it!"
Cen Zhi's words were a bit harsh, but he did tell the truth.
If Gongsun Ying continues to take action tonight, if the assassination fails and there is no support from hundreds of people, it will obviously be a dead end. Shi Mingyi's "decisiveness" at this time really seems a bit unreasonable!
When Shi Mingyi heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his fists in his sleeves. He glanced at the mean-mouthed Cen Zhiyong and said:
"This is sacrificing one's life for righteousness!"
Cen Zhi rolled his eyes almost to the sky and muttered in a low voice:
"We use other people's lives to take your righteousness, so that we can ride on horses and be shameless..."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly dropped to freezing point with Cen Zhiyong's words.
Most of the elites from hundreds of families here came to assassinate Xiao Cheng because of the righteousness of their family and country and the unforgettable love for their homeland. Many people could not stand Shi Mingyi's methods.
It's just that at this moment, they obviously have no position or determination to refute Shi Mingyi's methods, so they can only respond in silence...
-------------------
In Qianyang City, after experiencing the turmoil just now, it was stabilized with the concerted efforts of the imperial army, local county soldiers, and police officers.
Somewhere in an alley in the city, Gongsun Ying walked out with a pale face.
Seeing the mess on the street, the soldiers and policemen running around to maintain order, and the crying and injured women and children, she couldn't help but frown slightly and sighed, showing a look of regret and guilt...
Immediately, without thinking too much, she squatted down and began to examine the crying women and children on the roadside. When she encountered those who were seriously injured, she immediately went to treat them, trying her best to make up for her omissions just now.
While Gongsun Ying was busy treating the people, he suddenly heard someone shouting in surprise:
"Miss Gongsun, I finally found you!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Ying turned around subconsciously.
Then he saw a pretty little girl dressed as a palace maid, hugging two packages tightly. She walked quickly to Gongsun Ying, grabbed her, and said with tears of joy:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Girl, Huan'er almost thought I had lost you just now! The city is so chaotic, Huan'er is worried to death..."
Gongsun Ying was pulled by the palace maid named Huan'er. He was obviously a little stunned and opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something.
Huan'er looked at Gongsun Qing at this moment, and suddenly asked strangely:
"Hey, when did the girl change her clothes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huan'er suddenly remembered something. Before Gongsun Ying could speak, he handed the package in his arms to Gongsun Ying and said hurriedly:
"By the way, His Majesty just sent someone to ask the girl if you are safe. Even Eunuch Yu from the palace came to see you in person..."
"Please follow me back to freshen up quickly. His Majesty the Governor suddenly issued an order to summon you. This girl is beautiful and beautiful. You can't lose the opportunity to be favored by His Majesty because of her current messy appearance."
Gongsun Ying looked down at the package that was handed over, and at the simple jade pendant stuffed on the top of the package. Her eyes blinked, and she suddenly showed a hint of thinking.
At this time, the palace maid named Huan'er raised her head and saw Dongchang Fanzi appearing in the distance. She was immediately happy, waved her hands and said:
"Here, here! Miss Gongsun has been found!"
Dongchang Fanzi from far away heard this and hurried over. When he saw Gongsun Ying's appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
------------------
On the dragon boat, when Xiao Cheng heard Yu Huatian's report, his brows moved slightly and he said doubtfully:
"She just followed Dongchang Fanzi back?"
Hearing this, Yuhuatian bowed and said:
"It's absolutely true, my slave has already placed her on the boat."
Xiao Cheng touched his chin, raised his eyebrows and said:
"How courageous! You dare to come back after everything is like this. It seems that you really don't want to miss this opportunity tonight."
Having said this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but smacked his lips, shook his head and said:
"What kind of hatred or resentment..."
She was obviously a famous concubine created by herself, so she didn't expect her to be obedient. Why was she willing to take risks and think about killing herself?
Xiao Cheng paused, sneered again, and said:
"That's all, I don't want to waste too much energy on these assassins anyway. It doesn't matter if I come back, everything will be as usual tonight!"
