Chapter 499 Bravery of Fish Intestines, Purple Training Card
Jinling City, in a palace deep inside the Imperial Palace.
This place was originally just a remote palace in the Xia Kingdom Palace, similar to a cold palace. Except for some older palace residents who had no support outside the palace, few people came here.
But at this time, the current Xia Emperor personally ordered to mobilize hundreds of elite guards and trusted embroidery envoys to surround the remote palace in front of him.
In the palace garden, all the old eunuchs and maids who were originally placed here were placed in other places.
A group of Xia officials with serious faces were busily setting up the arrangements under the command of a man wearing a plain robe, with an honest and simple appearance, an injured arm and a somewhat pale complexion.
And the man in the lead is none other than Yu Zhaoqi, who returned from Yun Kingdom with the secret method of luck!
At this time, the originally dilapidated and desolate palace garden had been cleared out and an altar had been set up.
There are various flags flying around the solemn and majestic altar.
Four stone pillars engraved with divine dragons are arranged on the positions of the four elephants, and the mysterious and incomprehensible formation patterns spread underneath them. Above the patterns,
It also flashes a ray of light from time to time, showing its magic.
In the center of the altar, the jade seal of the Xia Kingdom was suspended in mid-air, overflowing with jade-colored light, illuminating the entire altar.
After the great changes in the world, it becomes extremely important to study how to use the destiny of the country!
The Yun State had Yun Tower, and the Xia State also established the Huntian Supervisory Council under the Taishi Bureau.
Nominally, the Huntian Supervisory Council is the same as the Si Tianjian of the Yun State, specializing in the astronomical phenomena and the calendar of yin and yang. But in fact, the main responsibilities of the Huntian Supervisory Council are the same as the Yunlou of the Yun State, specializing in the study of Qi.
The way of luck.
In the past few years, countless talents who are good at luck have been gathered in the Huntian Supervisory Council. Now, all of them have been transferred to Yu Zhaoqi to take orders!
With such a large formation and such a large effort, it is obvious that Xia State at this time wants to use the secret method of luck obtained from Yun State to forcibly gain the strength to fight against Yun State.
The leader, Yu Zhaoqi, had his left arm bandaged at this time, his face was solemn and stern, and his eyes showed a sense of extreme urgency, constantly urging everyone in the Huntian Supervisory Council to arrange the altar as soon as possible.
When everyone is busy and being constantly urged, it is inevitable that mistakes will sometimes occur.
At this time, Yu Zhaoqi, who was born in Taoism and had always been gentle in nature, would become unbearable and yell and curse, and then hurriedly urge everyone to continue their work.
Such a strange attitude immediately attracted the attention of a middle-aged Taoist wearing plain robes next to Yu Zhaoqi.
The middle-aged Taoist frowned slightly, grabbed Yu Zhaoqi, and said in a deep voice:
"His Royal Highness Prince Liang!"
Yu Zhaoqi, who was pulled away, was slightly startled, and looked at the middle-aged Taoist as if he was unresponsive.
Yu Zhaoqi, a descendant of the Xia royal family, the twenty-third son of the old Emperor Xia, was titled Prince Liang.
It's just that when he was a child, he already became a Taoist, so no one has ever called him that. Even though he has been back in Beijing for a few days now, he is still not used to being called that.
The middle-aged Taoist looked at Yu Zhaoqi solemnly and said in a serious tone:
"Although His Highness's state of mind has not reached the point where his face has collapsed and his expression remains unchanged, he should not be so impatient just because the battle on the front line is unfavorable!"
Yu Zhaoqi was a direct disciple of a serious Taoist school. He had been studying Taoist classics since he was a child, and his state of mind was far superior to others. However, since he returned from Yun Kingdom, he has been so impatient and impatient, which really made the middle-aged Taoist frown and puzzled.
After hearing the middle-aged Taoist's words, Yu Zhaoqi, who had an eager and angry expression on his face, was slightly startled.
After reacting for a moment, Yu Zhaoqi finally came back to his senses, sighed softly, bowed and said:
"It's my disciple who has lost his temper. Thank you, Master, for reminding me!"
The middle-aged Taoist in front of me is now the number two figure in Taoism, Yun Lai!
Yunlai looked at Yu Zhaoqi steadily and continued:
"So, what exactly is on your mind, Your Highness?"
When Yu Zhaoqi heard his uncle's words, his face became more worried. He looked at his injured arm with a wry smile and said:
"At this time, Yun Guo has already found out the identity of the disciple.
He sent people to assassinate the disciple. Yesterday, on Jinling Street, more than a dozen masters assassinated the disciple in the street, almost killing the disciple."
When Yun Lai heard this, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said:
"Is it because of this that Your Highness is worried and anxious?"
Having said this, Yun Lai pointed to the guards generals and embroidery masters who were constantly patrolling around, and said in a deep voice:
"This is the deep palace of the Xia Kingdom, and I am personally protecting you. No matter how talented the spies of the Yun Kingdom are, can they still sneak into the palace and take your life under my nose?"
The Xia Kingdom's palace is heavily guarded, with many experts in embroidering clothes, and the Imperial Guards are extremely sharp. And Yunlai, as the number two Taoist figure, is a first-rate figure in the world, a top ninth-level figure!
Under such tight protection, could Yu Zhaoqi be killed by Yun Guo's spies?
After hearing his uncle's words, Yu Zhaoqi's face became even more bitter, and his voice was low and authentic:
"Uncle Master has never been to the Yun Kingdom, so he doesn't know that the Yun Kingdom now has a profound foundation and many talented people. Just one Si Tianjian of the Yun Kingdom can accommodate hundreds of schools, including Buddhism and Taoism, and even talents from other countries from the countries west of the Western Regions.
"
"Uncle Liu is sincere. He is familiar with hundreds of schools and knows everything. He even had the means to kill my Daxia Dragon Qi at the beginning. The secret method I brought back is just the product of his wisdom."
"Yuan Tiangang is proficient in astronomy, especially good at fortune telling. Li Chunfeng is familiar with astronomy, calendar calculation, yin and yang. In addition, there are Yixing, Yuan Miaozong, Wang Daojian and others, all of whom are experts in Buddhism and Taoism."
The Yun army was so impressive and unstoppable that everyone in the Xia Kingdom just felt that Emperor Yun Xiao Cheng was very good at recognizing people and could discover a number of powerful generals from the army.
But the longer Yu Zhaoqi stayed in Yun Country, the clearer he became that Yun Country was full of talented people, and it was by no means limited to the military!
In the past few years alone, in the Yun Kingdom's court and among the civil and military classes, it seems that they have been loved by heaven and earth, and talents continue to pour out like a fountain.
The clearer he became aware of this, the more afraid Yu Zhaoqi became of the Yun State, and the more desperate he became for the future of the Xia State!
At the same time, he also knew that as long as Emperor Yun gave the order, even if he was in the palace, even if he had a master like Yun Lai beside him, he would definitely not be able to save his life.
Yun Lai looked at Yu Zhaoqi with a look of despair on his face, frowned slightly, and was about to express some words of comfort.
But before he could speak, Yu Zhaoqi forcibly calmed down and gritted his teeth and said:
"It doesn't matter if my disciple dies, but if I can't use the secret method of luck that I brought back before my death to increase the combat power of my Daxia army, it will be difficult to preserve Daxia's country! So, Uncle Master, this disciple can only be so anxious.
"
Hearing this, Yun Lai stopped talking but finally sighed and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty Prince Liang, uncle, I will protect you with all my strength!"
Yu Zhaoqi forced out a smile, and then continued to urge his men to continue building the altar.
At this time, not far behind Yu Zhaoqi, several fifth-grade embroidery envoys who were ordered to come and be responsible for guarding the safety of the palace all looked at Yu Zhaoqi's back, and then immediately looked away.
The next moment, the fastest update of the original please enter the browser - to?? A Taoist master like Yun Lai has reached the state of comprehending the heart of heaven, but few disturbances within a radius of ten miles around him can escape his perception.
Even though there was just a faint hint of cold murderous intent, it still made him aware of something and became vigilant.
Those embroiderers were all Rui sent from Sticky Rod Department. Even when facing the gaze of such a top master, they stood straight and calmly on the spot without showing any signs of abnormality.
And Yunlai was quite confident in his own perception. Even though he didn't notice anything strange at this time, he was still sure in his heart that these embroiderers were unusual!
And just when Yun Lai focused all his attention on guarding against those "Embroidered Clothes Envoys", an official from the Huntian Supervisory Authority came to Yu Zhaoqi's side and said in an urgent tone:
"Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong with this arrangement!"
When Yu Zhaoqi heard this, he frowned and immediately stepped forward and said seriously:
"What's the problem again!"
"Your Highness
Please look!"
As the official from the Huntian Supervisory Authority spoke, he took something out of his arms and suddenly threw it toward Yu Zhaoqi's chest.
The black gold dagger penetrated Yu Zhaoqi's body-protecting Qi without any hindrance, and pierced directly into the vital part, making a "puff" sound, which seemed quite harsh.
Everyone in the palace heard the commotion and subconsciously looked in the direction of Yu Zhaoqi.
Yunlai was originally on guard against the few embroidered messengers who seemed to have nothing unusual. When he heard the "puff" sound, his heart suddenly lurched and he turned around suddenly.
Everyone in the palace garden was so stunned as they watched Yu Zhaoqi, who had been stabbed through a vital part of his chest, slowly falling to the ground.
The surroundings immediately fell into deathly silence.
Yun Lai's state of mind, which he thought would not be affected by external objects, was suddenly disturbed. He couldn't help shouting angrily, and raised his hand to slap the official of the Huntian Supervisory Authority who had carried out the assassination.
The peaceful Taoist Qi, under Yun Lai's furious attack, became extremely powerful and violently blasted out.
Facing this palm, the assassin who had just assassinated an eighth-level warrior was unable to fight back. His body was blown away several feet, and when he fell to the ground, his life was cut off.
At this time, Yunlai looked at the assassin who fell to the ground and died, showing a look of shock and astonishment again.
Only then did he suddenly realize that this person was actually just a person who was proficient in martial arts, and his cultivation level had not even reached the third level.
It was precisely because this man's martial arts was so low that when he first approached Yu Zhaoqi, Yun Lai didn't pay much attention at all.
Yun Lai froze on the spot for a while, then suddenly woke up, and hurriedly looked at Yu Zhaoqi who was lying on the ground, and checked his injuries.
But unfortunately, Yu Zhaoqi's heart did not grow crooked or reversed. The black gold dagger pierced straight into his heart and shattered his heart. Even if Ji Xu, the imperial physician of the Yun Kingdom who is now known as the best doctor in the world, is here, I'm afraid
It is also difficult to save.
Yu Zhaoqi still had a glimmer of consciousness, but his eyes had begun to lose their sparkle.
Yun Lai remembered his promise that he had just said that he would protect him, his eyes turned red, and his whole body was shaking with anger. His past mental cultivation was completely thrown aside.
Yu Zhaoqi used the last of his strength to stretch towards his chest.
When Yun Lai saw this, he quickly suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart and looked around.
Then he saw that in Yu Zhaoqi's arms, a booklet was placed close to his body, and it was also pierced by the black gold dagger. Blood continued to flow from the wound, dyeing the booklet into blood color.
Yun Lai suddenly reached out his hand, pulled out the black gold dagger, and took out the booklet.
When Yu Zhaoqi saw that the book recording the secret method of luck had been obtained, he finally took his last breath, and his outstretched left hand dropped weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes became empty.
Yun Lai did not dare to look into Yu Zhaoqi's lifeless eyes, nor did he dare to look at him.
In the end, I could only wipe away the blood on the pamphlet with trembling hands.
Yu Zhaoqi's dense handwriting on the book soaked in blood has become slightly blurry, but fortunately it can still be seen clearly.
Yun Lai gritted his teeth and turned to look at the black gold dagger he had pulled out.
The shape is ordinary, the blade is dull and unremarkable. But when you hold it in your hand, you can feel the sharpness coming from the dagger. On the handle, there are also two small characters "fish intestines" engraved on it.
[Four-star treasure, fish intestine sword]
[Introduction: The fish intestine sword means a very small dagger that can be hidden in the belly of a fish. It is a magical weapon made by the master swordsmith Ou Yezi. It cannot be broken by a strike and cannot be penetrated by a stab. 】
[Effect: After wearing it, the force is 5, and the skill "Brave and Unstoppable" is obtained]
The reason why this assassin was able to kill Yu Zhaoqi, an eighth-level master, with one strike was because the black gold dagger he held was an extremely rare treasure that could directly pierce the body-protecting Qi of a high-level warrior.
Yunlai's eyes were bloodshot and he said in disbelief:
"Fish intestines, fish intestines! Why haven't I heard of such a magical weapon before?"
After muttering a few words to himself, Yun Lai suddenly reacted and gritted his teeth:
"The Yun Kingdom must be the Yun Kingdom! Who can easily give up such a magical weapon to assassinate King Liang?
There is only Yun Kingdom!"
Of course, Yun Lai guessed right. Only Yun Guo can easily take out this fish intestine sword now!
