Chapter 53: The King of Bad Killers
There are a lot of things these days, apologize. It will be updated steadily in the future. ******************************* Since the main gate cannot enter the palace, Gao Yang had to secretly take down a Dragon Elephant City City Guard in order to find out the truth, and sneak into the palace with a sneak attack.
The palace was indeed quite chaotic, with people coming and going, walking in a hurry, and their faces were full of panic. From the whispers of the palace maids and eunuchs, Gao Yang learned that Princess Dielian and Yaoyao had sneaked out of the palace in order to escape the marriage.
While Xiao Ba sent people to search the city, he personally held a banquet in the palace to entertain Emperor Yongwen's wedding ambassador.
Gao Yang sneaked carefully and quickly rushed to the near the banquet.
The commander of the Tang Dynasty was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a grand manner, named Li Dexing, and was also from the royal family. He was a nephew whom Emperor Yongwen favored. He had no power in the court, but he was arrogant and domineering. His cultivation was also extraordinary. It is said that he had reached the level of the Nine Star Lord.
Li Dexing especially likes to compete with others. In the Tang Dynasty, as long as he is a name-named assassin, he must be compared. If Li Dexing wins, he will cut off the assassin's hands and make him a waste. If Li Dexing loses, he will dispatch the master of "Balcony Temple" to assassinate his opponent and make him a soul. If an assassin is pointed by him but does not respond to the battle, Li Dexing will even kill the whole family! His cruel methods have long been angry and resentful, so the assassins privately gave him a nickname, "Bad Killing King". Because the King of Desheng was supported by Emperor Yongwen, all the assassins in the Tang Dynasty dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. The only thing that is thankful is that Li Dexing has a rule that only once a month, so that those famous assassins will pray secretly that they should not be named by Li Dexing.
Li Dexing was bloodthirsty and had a hot temper. This time, Emperor Yongwen sent Li Dexing to Longxiang City, which obviously gave Xiao Baxian a warning. In addition to Li Dexing, there were more than ten masters of the "Balcony View" who came with the wedding team. All of these people were famous lords. If they attacked at the same time, Xiao Baxian would definitely not be able to withstand it.
When Li Dexing heard Princess Dielian escape, he said with fierce eyes: "Lord Xiao, why don't you think you are relatives with a rough person like me, and insult your Xiao family, so he secretly hid his daughter?"
Xiao Baxian apologized: "The little girl is naughty and ignorant, so please wait patiently for a while." As he said that, he walked to Li Dexing in person and poured wine for him to apologize.
Li Dexing snorted lightly, smashed the copper wine glass to the ground, and said, "If there is no news about Princess Butterfly Love in another thirty minutes, the outcome of the entire Longxiang City will be the same as this wine glass!"
Xiao Baxian smiled slightly, used a technique to glue the pieces of the wine glass on the ground back, hold it intact in his hand, and then filled the wine into the wine glass and toasted it to Li Dexing.
Li Dexing looked at Xiao Ba with great meaning and finally drank the wine in the glass.
The guests and hosts had their own ulterior motives and sat for a while at the banquet. The two groups of people were tense and full of gunpowder, as if they would fight to the death at any time.
As soon as thirty minutes arrive, Xiao Baxian can't hand over Princess Dielian, and the palace will definitely end.
Gao Yang would not worry about Xiao Baxian or Li Dexing. What he thought of was Princess Dielian and Yaoyao. These two little girls ran out of the palace. Even Xiao Baxian's people searched for him for a long time and didn't know where to hide.
Under Xiao Baxian's rule, although Longxiang City will not be in chaos, it is really worrying that the water is surrounded by the clear sunset and the two little girls are floating outside.
Gao Yang hid in a secluded corner, took out the "call talisman" and contacted Tan Zhaoming, and asked him if he had ever seen Yaoyao. If Yaoyao took Princess Dielian out, it would be nothing more than hiding in two places, one was Jia Jia's Yanyu Building, and the other was Gao Zhuo Mansion.
Tan Zhaoming said: "There is no one here in Gao Zhuo's mansion. I'll send someone to Yanyulou to ask?"
Gao Yang said: "Xiao Baxian's city guards probably had already passed through Yanyu Tower."
Tan Zhaoming said: "Will Xiao Baxian deliberately hide Princess Dielian?"
Gao Yang showed his head and glanced at Xiao Baxian from afar. He saw that there was a hidden worry in his expression. He shook his head and said, "This is not a big possibility. Please ask Liuyan to help find someone..."
Gao Yang was about to give a few more words, but suddenly he felt several powerful airflows around him fluctuated. He thought that he had just accidentally exposed his behavior, so he had to quickly disconnect. When he carefully examined these airflows, he found that they all rushed to the banquet, targeting Li Dexing and others.
But in the banquet hall, there is a thick white jade cylinder in each of the four major directions around the southeast, west and north. The pillars are engraved with four spiritual beasts, such as the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. These extremely powerful airflows gather towards the four large pillars.
Originally, those carved spirit beasts were just murals, but after being infused with the airflow, they all seemed to wake up, their eyes were like lightning, lifelike, giving people a chilling feeling.
Li Dexing and others sat on the banquet among the four pillars. Although they had not felt the air flow, they were also irritated, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Li Dexing seemed to smell a trace of unusual smell, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "I heard that Lord Xiao has a close relationship with the Gao family. Not only did he reward Gao Yang with many good things, but he almost became a favor with Qin and Jin, and gave his daughter to him. I wonder if this is the case?"
Xiao Baxian said lukewarmly: "Yes."
Li Dexing said: "Lord Xiao has not found his baby daughter for so long. Didn't he instigate her to elope with Gao Yang?"
Xiao Baxian sneered and said, "Thirty minutes have not arrived yet. Would you know if you wait?"
Li Dexing stood up and said, "Since Lord Xiao is unwilling to cooperate, we will go and search for him in person." After that, he was about to take the balcony to watch the masters.
Xiao Baxian was still sitting steadily and laughed: "This is the palace of my Longxiang City. You can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want. This seems inappropriate, right?"
Li Dexing was on guard and said coldly: "What does Lord Xiao mean?"
Xiao Baxian said: "Today you must all stay here until your son and daughter return to the palace safely."
Li Dexing frowned and said, "Are you threatening us?"
Xiao Baxian said: "I am using his own way to treat him. I am using the dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty to exchange for my son's life. Isn't that too much?"
At this point, it was already clear that Li Dexing and the experts on the balcony opened their weapons, and Xiao Baxian also danced the dragon elephant banner majestic!
Li Dexing said: "You are seeking death!"
Xiao Baxian looked calm, and with a wave of the dragon and elephant banner, all the spirit beasts on the four white jade pillars flew out, forming a very strange formation, surrounding Li Dexing and others in the middle.
Those spirit beasts do not look scary and have no attack power, but they can draw the backbone of Li Dexing and others one after another and transport them to Xiao Baxian's dragon elephant banner!
This will decrease, and the winner will be predictable.
Li Dexing was shocked and said, "Four Elephant Formation?"
******************
On a certain mountain in Longxiang City.
Shui Qingxi is presented to Lu Dang and Chen Jingran as a middle-aged beautiful woman.
Lu Dang looked at Shui Qingxi's cold and unpredictable appearance and his heart was beating violently. It was rumored that the Dragon King Shui Qingxi was cruel and ruthless, and he would never have the kind of enthusiasm to save people. Lu Dang only knew that his son Lu Junyong had found Shui Qingxi to cooperate with, but he didn't know what the specific transaction was, so he was quite nervous.
On the contrary, Chen Jingran seemed much calmer. He looked at Shui Qingxi and said, "My tribe members are all okay, right?"
Shui Qingxi nodded and said, "They were expelled to Wushanji by Xiao Baxian. They were originally unable to survive. I secretly protected me and finally I had no worries about food and clothing."
Chen Jingran said: "I'm relieved. Without further ado, let's start."
Lu Dang was confused and said, "What to start?"
Chen Jingran smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, I started to activate the 'beast-controlling spirit talisman'. You wouldn't think that the Dragon King came to save us with great compassion, right? In fact, the Dragon King and I have made an agreement that as long as she protects our tribe's people, I will use the blood of life as a guide to activate the talisman to break through Xiao Baxian's 'Four Elephant Array'!"
Lu Dang couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said, "We took advantage of Xiao Baxian's injury back then and thought we could join forces to kill him, but unexpectedly, this guy secretly practiced the 'Four Elephant Formation', which made us lose all our efforts and was instead controlled by Xiao Baxian."
After a pause, he said, "Your Chen family has always had the ability to 'spiritual beast control', but why didn't you use it back then? He even lied to me that the beast-controlling spirit talisman magic thorn has been lost long ago?"
Chen Jingran smiled bitterly and said, "Because I can only use the 'Beast Control Spirit Talisman' once in my life. I thought I was sure to win, so I naturally wouldn't think of using it." As he said, he cut through the index fingers of his hands, and the bright red blood shot out from his fingers, covering a yellow talisman paper that was as big as a banner in front of him and was prominently known as the word "Beast Control".
Shui Qingxi said: "If Xiao Baxian knew that your Chen family's beast-controlling spirit talisman was not activated with bone energy, but with blood, he would regret not refining you into a mummy."
Chen Jingran said: "After I die, please ask the Dragon Prince to keep this beast-controlling spirit talisman for the time being. Although this talisman has the ability to control animals and shake the earth, the Chen family has withered and no one can protect it. For the Chen family today, the talisman has become a burden." His blood flowed more and more, and after the beast-controlling spirit talisman was dyed red, the only word "beast-controlling" still remains the original yellow.
Chen Jingran recited a few more spells silently, and the yellow suddenly turned into a shining golden light, illuminating the entire mountain.
Then, in Longxiang City, everything was roaring and restless, as if he was stimulated, and rushed towards the Longxiang City Royal Palace.
It would be fine if it was just that. The terrifying aspect of the talisman was that it could not only control animals, but also birds!
The sound of cries in the sky was heard one after another.
Shui Qingxi looked up and saw a dark and ferocious bird from Wushan, rushing wildly from a far west.
Shui Qingxi was secretly happy and thought to herself: "I didn't expect that the ferocious birds that flee from Wushan a few days ago were also under the control of the beast-controlling spirit talisman. It's really God's help to me."
Those strange-shaped ferocious birds of Wushan flew from the sky and gradually approached Longxiang City, then hovered over the royal city, forming airtight black clouds. They would dive down unscrupulously just by waiting for Chen Jingran to give him a command.
Chapter completed!
