Li Xiaotian still held the long sword inserted into his body tightly. The killer saw this and wanted to kick Li Xiaotian and draw the sword. Just when he was about to lift his foot, Li Xiaotian suddenly spurted a large mouthful of blood at the killer without any warning. The killer reacted quickly.
, he could only temporarily hold his legs still and cover them with his sleeves, so that the stuffy blood spit out by Li Xiaotian was not scattered on his face. Most of it was blocked by his sleeves, and a small amount fell on the back of his hand. He just thought it was Li Xiaotian.
With no other choice, Qian Donkey was so incompetent that he resorted to vomiting blood to vent his dissatisfaction.
"In the face of absolute strength, all cleverness is worthless." The killer mocked.
"Really?" Li Xiaotian asked, showing a beaming smile.
"When death is imminent, he is so calm and has such psychological quality. He is really a good candidate to be a killer. It's a pity that he met me."
After speaking, the killer prepared his luck and forcibly drew his sword and killed Li Xiaotian directly. Just as he was about to use his vitality, he was shocked because he found in disbelief that he could no longer gather his vitality. An evil thing had invaded his body at some point.
Running wildly through the eight extraordinary meridians, wherever he went, the meridians were destroyed and life was lost. The killer thought of the bloody mouth that Li Xiaotian had just spit out. He suddenly realized that he subconsciously looked at the back of his hand. Sure enough, the back of his hand was stained with blood.
, had turned into gray-black, and he couldn't help but look at Li Xiaotian with a horrified look on his face, and uttered a few words "you" intermittently with difficulty. At this time, the blood poison had spread to his face, his face was as coal, his pupils were open angrily, and he was motionless. Obviously
, already dead.
After the killer was dead, Li Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, then broke the two long swords with both hands, and then walked to the killer who was standing stiffly. After a while, he fumbled around, and the injury was not in vain. He found a storage bag, and Li Xiaotian didn't have time to check it, so he put it away directly.
After all, he was seriously injured, so he should rush back to Shang'an for treatment as soon as possible. It is no exaggeration to say that this sword almost killed Li Xiaotian for half his life. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something and left.
When he got to the killer, he took out liquor, poured it on the killer, lit a fire, and then left peacefully.
The reason why Li Xiaotian is so cautious is because Liu Dacheng of the Liu family also died from his blood poison. If there are any clues left and the two are connected, it will be in big trouble, even if the killer does not say that he paid the murder/
The initiator of the murder, Li Xiaotian can probably guess who wants his life? During his anti-corruption trip, who has suffered the most losses in Kyoto, and who has the ability and courage to hire an assassin to assassinate him, and who is so unscrupulous?
There was no one else in the court, and the queen was from the Liu family, so she could only destroy the body and eliminate all traces, otherwise, the risk would be too great.
There is just one thing that makes Li Xiaotian quite puzzling. He clearly told the king that the queen had threatened Jiang Zheng, the governor of Tongzhou, and lied about population embezzlement and taxation. The queen bought a killer to silence her. Isn't this because there is no silver in this place? With three hundred taels of silver,
The king's wisdom must have guessed that she did it, or she expected that even if the king knew that, he would not break up with his wife who he had been with day and night for an official. If this was the case, then there would be no need to hire a killer to kill Li Xiaotian.
Now, since she is sure that Yang Qianren will not do anything to her and embezzle taxes, it will not be a problem, so why bother to assassinate Li Xiaotian? Isn't this just looking for trouble? Unless she just purely resents Li Xiaotian, if she knows that Li Xiaotian is the black man who beat the prince
It's understandable, but she doesn't know. In other words, Li Xiaotian and the queen have never met, which is illogical. In short, there is a lot to say about this matter.
There is no time to think too much. If you survive the disaster, you should be able to know the reason after entering the city.
Fortunately for Li Xiaotian, the frightened horse did not run far, otherwise he would have been seriously injured and walking back to the capital would have been a difficult journey.
Just like that, Li Xiaotian rode on his horse and went straight to Shang'an City in Kyoto.
Ten miles later, Li Xiaotian came to the city gate covered in blood and scars. When he saw the city guard, he took out his official badge. The guard quickly let him go and looked at Li Xiaotian's embarrassed back in a daze. The leader seemed to have thought of something.
, hurriedly went straight to the palace to report the news of Li Xiaotian's return. After all, it was said that this Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a popular person in front of His Majesty. Now he came back with serious injuries. If he reported it in time, he might have entered His Majesty's longan. Who knows?
If you have been promoted to a higher position, doing some errands to change your future will bring you all the benefits and no harm.
As soon as Li Xiaotian arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, the gatekeeper of the mansion saw what was happening and quickly helped Li Xiaotian into the wing. When the housekeeper Miao Xiuxiu heard that Li Xiaotian had returned injured, she hurried over and saw that Li Xiaotian looked miserable. She felt heartbroken and her eyes could not help but turn red.
"Don't be too sad, it's just a minor injury, it won't kill anyone." Li Xiaotian half-joked.
"Sir, don't be ridiculous, I'm going to hire a doctor for you right now." Miao Xiuxiu said angrily, and after finishing her words, she hurried away.
Li Xiaotian originally just wanted Miao Xiuxiu to go to the drug store to buy some hemostatic medicine, so he directly pulled out the sword and bandaged it. Seeing that she was walking in a hurry, he didn't have time to tell her to ask a doctor to come. After all, the iron had penetrated into the flesh. Others
It's always easier to pull it out than to pull it out yourself.
Coincidentally, as soon as Miao Xiuxiu came out of Shangshu's mansion, she met Geng Nian and the imperial doctor coming to the door, bringing timely rain. Geng Nian explained his identity and purpose. Miao Xiuxiu was overjoyed and hurriedly turned around and led the way into the mansion.
Arriving at the side room, Geng Nian saw Li Xiaotian lying on the bed covered in blood. When he saw the broken sword that penetrated his shoulder, he didn't show much expression. After all, he was a person who had seen the world. He could tell at a glance that Li Xiaotian was not injured.
It's shallow, it looks scary, but it doesn't damage the roots, and there is no fear of life.
"I feel relieved when I see Commander Geng coming." Li Xiaotian smiled miserably at Geng Nian. He had only gone to the city for a big meeting. His Majesty personally sent an imperial doctor to help him see a doctor. This shows that Li Xiaotian's previous reasoning is almost correct.
, and was not angry because he secretly returned the stolen money to the people.
No words were spoken in Geng Year.
The imperial doctor checked Li Xiaotian's pulse, then carefully looked at the sword wound, and said slowly: "Master Shangshu's injury is not life-threatening at the moment. We only need to take out the broken sword, stop the bleeding and bandage it. After a while, he should be fine."
Serious problem."
After that, it’s time to practice medicine and get a sword. Needless to say.
The royal palace, the queen's bedroom.
Queen Liu Sisi and Prince Yang Zhen looked serious.
"Mother, didn't you say that Lu will definitely die this time? He has the account books of that guy Jiang Zheng. If he hands it over to his father, the consequences will be disastrous." Yang Zhen said suspiciously.
"The killer hired this time has the eighth level of Tongmai, and he is said to be invincible. Logically speaking, he should be more than enough to kill the man named Lu. I don't know where he got the ability. Not only did he escape from death, but he also
A famous killer was also killed and his body burned. It seems that I underestimated him." Liu Sisi sighed in confusion.
