Late at night, the sky is filled with stars, which cast bright light on the earth and illuminate the dark night.
Li Xingkong stood not far outside the palace where Li Ruoxue was, secretly looking at the soldiers guarding outside.
Li Ruoxue's room was already surrounded by heavy troops. Breaking in rashly would not work. Li Xingkong was thinking about how to get in.
In the courtyard in front of the main entrance, soldiers patrolled back and forth. Li Xingkong was waiting for the time after the two groups of soldiers crossed each other.
"Whoosh" The time finally arrived, and Li Xingkong rushed over like a gust of wind.
The soldier only felt something strange. When he turned around, he saw nothing. So he didn't care and continued patrolling.
Li Xingkong stood behind the big pillar in front of the door and breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to the door, pushed the door open gently, and closed it carefully after entering.
The main hall was illuminated by luminous beads. Li Xingkong arrived at the back hall with ease and saw Li Ruoxue sitting in front of the mirror in a daze looking at himself in the mirror.
Li Xingkong walked over quietly and watched quietly.
Li Ruoxue frowned deeply, looking worried. It took a long time to realize that there was another person in the mirror. Because Li Xingkong was standing and the mirror was not as high as him, he couldn't see his face clearly. Li Ruoxue was startled and stood up to think big.
Called, only to find out it was Li Xingkong.
Li Ruoxue said in surprise: "Brother, how did you get in?"
Looking at Li Ruoxue's haggard face, Li Xingkong felt very distressed and said, "He sneaked in while the soldiers outside were patrolling back and forth."
"How are you? How have you been these past few days?" Li Xingkong clearly saw that Li Ruoxue was not doing well, but he still asked nonsense.
"Hey." Li Ruoxue sighed and said, "Last time I got into trouble in the library, my father put me under house arrest in the palace. I haven't even left the house."
Li Xingkong said: "Father, it's true. After all, you are his most beloved daughter. How could he treat you like this?"
"Someone from Wushi Sect is here, sister, do you know?"
Li Ruoxue was very worried and frowned: "My mother came here a few days ago and told me these things."
"Mother came over, what did she say to you?" Li Xingkong asked quickly.
Li Ruoxue sat on the stool and said quietly: "The Queen Mother said that my father is planning to marry me to Wu Shimen in the near future."
After hearing this, Li Xingkong sighed and said, "My suspicion was indeed confirmed. The incident was too sudden and disrupted our overall plan."
"Yes, I don't know what to do now." Li Ruoxue said.
Li Ruoxue looked at Li Xingkong and said: "I don't want to marry the Wushi Clan, I don't want to marry the young master of the Wushi Clan, I like Huang Tian, and I want to be with him. Brother, I want to be with Huang Tian, and now you are the only one
You can help me, but you must help my sister."
Li Ruoxue was a little excited and grabbed Li Xingkong's arms, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Li Xingkong stroked Li Ruoxue's black hair with one hand and said lovingly: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely find a way to help you."
"But even the queen mother can't stop the father, what can you do." Li Ruoxue sighed.
The shackles of fate were so heavy that she couldn't breathe. The originally cheerful and lively girl became mature under the oppression of fate.
"Don't worry, as long as you want to do something, my brother will help you even if it means risking his life." Li Xingkong comforted him with a smile.
"After I go back, I will discuss a countermeasure with Huang Tian. You can stay in peace for now! I will definitely help you break free from the shackles of this fate." Li Xingkong said.
…
Seven days later, the main road leading to the palace in the royal city was crowded with people. Everyone knew the news that the empire was going to marry a princess, and they all gathered on the main road to watch the excitement. Even many cultivators came and stood on the roof.
superior.
Huang Tian and Li Xingkong were sitting in a teahouse, drinking tea quietly. Just yesterday, Wu Shimen's wedding team had entered the palace, and then Li Changfeng entertained them grandly and solemnly announced the news.
The news spread very quickly. In just one day, the streets and alleys knew about it, and the procession to welcome the bride was about to leave the palace and return to Wushi Gate today.
The princess's marriage was a big event, and the imperial court had made sufficient preparations in this regard. It was said that tens of thousands of troops were sent to escort the princess along the way, and there were even saint-level powerful people arranged in the team, which was extremely powerful.
There were also saint-level experts in the Wushi Sect's wedding team, which Li Xingkong knew at the reception yesterday.
"How is it, Huangtian, are you afraid?" Li Xingkong looked at the main road downstairs, took a sip of tea and said.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth." Huang Tian said with a smile.
"The opponent is at the Holy level. Even if you reverse Yin and Yang, you are only at the Heaven level. The difference is too huge. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of troops escorting you, including many masters of the Wushi Sect." Li Xingkong said calmly.
"Now if Xue is in trouble, I, Huang Tian, will have to fight even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, let alone an army of tens of thousands." Huang Tian said.
"Your words are enough. If we succeed today, remember to take good care of Ruoxue, otherwise my brother-in-law will not be able to spare you." The atmosphere was a bit dull, Li Xingkong joked.
Originally, Li Xingkong planned to slowly draw out Huang Tian's family to contain the Wu Shi Clan. After confirming that Li Changfeng was going to advance the date of Li Ruoxue's marriage, Li Xingkong had to find another way, because Huang Tian had clearly told him that the Bing family could not
Feel free to go out, except in special circumstances.
Even Huang Tian doesn't know what these special circumstances refer to.
The two of them never found a good way. It wasn't until Wu Shimen's wedding party was about to set off that they came up with this old-fashioned and dangerous way to intercept the wedding party halfway.
After careful calculation by the two of them, they felt that it would be more appropriate to stay within the royal city. In the palace, that would definitely not work. If he failed outside the city, Li Xingkong would be fine. After all, as the prince of the empire, no one would do anything to him.
Same. But Huangtian is different.
If you attack in the city, you can still escape through the chaos of the crowd if you fail, but this is not necessarily the case, it is just relatively safer.
The two of them prepared for the worst in their hearts.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the team welcoming the bride slowly walked out from the main gate of the palace. Behind them, several carriages followed in a vertical line from the main gate. Behind the carriages, a large number of soldiers wearing pitch black armor followed.
Come on.
The dark army exuded a murderous aura, frightening the people watching on the main road.
The curtain on a red carriage was lifted open, revealing Li Ruoxue's stunning face.
Li Ruoxue is very beautiful today. She is dressed in a phoenix crown, especially the hesitant look on her face, which adds to her beauty.
"That's the princess of our empire, she's so beautiful." Just when Li Ruoxue lifted the curtain, many onlookers saw her face and praised Li Ruoxue's appearance, and there was a lot of discussion.
Although the two were drinking tea, their eyes were always paying attention to the main road. When he saw the wedding team approaching, Li Xingkong said in a deep voice: "Here we come, are you ready?"
"It's been prepared a long time ago." Huangtian held the Zhentian tightly in his hand, stood up, and said with firm eyes.
"We may die, Huangtian, are you afraid?" Faced with a large team, there are many experts in it. With just the two of them, the chance of success is too small. Failure may mean death, Li Xingkong reminded.
