The king will never go to court

Chapter 253 262: Puppet Assassination, Closing the City and Others

In the Biehai Pavilion, Xie Wufeng didn't call the shopkeeper over until he used up the rich dishes on the table.During the period, he directly ordered Qi Yuanwu and others who had been waiting outside to plead guilty not to wait any longer.

The incident of the "Assassin" made the shopkeeper tense and at a loss for what to do.Although he is a branch of the Qi family, it took a lot of effort from their lineage to get the position of the shopkeeper of Biehai Pavilion.

"What's your name?"

"Caomin, Qi Wenhai." The middle-aged shopkeeper knelt on the ground respectfully, not daring to lift his head, and his tone was filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

"Don't worry, this king will definitely investigate the matter of the assassin. If it has nothing to do with your Biehai Pavilion, this king will not wrong you Biehai Pavilion." Xie Wufeng said calmly, he couldn't see whether he was angry or something else.

Hearing this, Qi Wenhai's always heavy heart finally dropped eight points, but he still knelt on the spot cautiously, with an extremely humble attitude, not daring to show any strangeness.

"Your name is Qi Wenhai?" Xie Wufeng suddenly stopped tapping his index finger on the handrail and asked.

"That's right, the Caomin is called Qi Wenhai."

"The Qi family?"

"Exactly."

"Then what's the relationship between Qi Yuanwu and you?" Xie Wufeng said calmly, and tapped the armrest lightly with his right index finger again.

"Lord Qi is the cousin of Yuanfang Caomin." Qi Wenhai pressed his head lower, his forehead pressed tightly against the bluestone floor, and his breathing from the tip of his nose almost stopped.

"My lord heard that your Biehai Pavilion is a famous place in Beizhou, where martial artists gather here all the year round."

Not knowing what King Wu was thinking, Qi Wenhai pondered for a moment, and replied cautiously, "Don't dare to deceive the prince, Zhaocheng is adjacent to Chu State, and because it is not far from the mountains, rivers and forests, so martial arts experts in Qian State will choose to stay here when they go north. for a while."

Xie Wufeng glanced at the empty lobby again, and asked suspiciously, "Then why today?"

"Caomin learned that the prince was going to live in the Biehai Pavilion, so he hurriedly ordered people to vacate the main hall and the main courtyard of Brother Biehai, just because they were worried that those reckless people would disturb Wang Jia." Qi Wenhai hurriedly explained, afraid that the King of Wu in front of him His Highness treated himself as an assassin.

Xie Wufeng let out a soft "Oh", and then asked, "Are there a lot of Jianghu warriors in Biehai Pavilion recently?"

Since the "Mountain, River and Forest Affairs" was promulgated by the Qian Kingdom, the major sects have already started to prepare for the matter of entering the mountains and rivers. Of course, there are still many warriors in the rivers and lakes who hope to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Not daring to hide it, Qi Wenhai tilted his head slightly, and winked at the attendant standing not far away. The clever attendant hurried to the far counter and took out a stack of thick account books from the counter.

"Report to the lord," Qi Wenhai rubbed his sore knees, opened the account book, and replied in a straightforward manner, "In the past month, there have been more than 300 guests in Biehai Pavilion every day. There are more than 500 people."

"They're all warriors?"

Xie Wufeng seemed to be remembering something, and asked casually.

"Yes" Qi Wenhai replied in a very soft voice.Although I don't know why King Wu asked the Jianghu warriors about the number of people staying in the Biehai Pavilion, he didn't dare to lie at this time.

Xie Wufeng waved his hand, and a personal guard in black black clothes stepped forward, took the account book from Qi Wenhai, and respectfully placed it on the wooden table in front of Xie Wufeng.

"No need," Xie Wufeng interrupted the guard who was about to open the account book, and sighed, "It seems that these martial artists still don't give up. This king sealed the entrance to the mountains, rivers and forests in Qian Kingdom, and they thought Go to Chu State."

Already hearing the cold killing intent in Xie Wufeng's tone, Qi Wenhai's kneeling body trembled more and more, and he shouted hoarsely with all his strength.

"My lord." Qi Wenhai knocked his forehead heavily on the bluestone floor, blood spilled from his forehead. "Our Biehai Pavilion will never do anything that is harmful to the country, please pay attention to it."

Xie Wufeng took a sip of Zhongling Tea slowly, and heaved a long sigh, "It must be that the puppet before was planned by some of these people secretly, to see if the king's sword is sharp or not."

Qi Wenhai's face changed suddenly, and his back was already dripping with sweat. He never thought that the young Wu Wang in front of him would set off a bloody storm just after entering Zhaocheng.

"Order Qi Yuanwu, from today onwards, no one is allowed to leave Zhaocheng and go northward without my king's warrant."

Immediately, a personal guard in Xuanyi bowed and walked out of the main hall of Biehai Pavilion, then got on his horse and headed towards the Qi Mansion in Zhaocheng.

Closing the north gate is to block the way for those warriors to go northward to the state of Chu, but the ordinary warriors wandering in the territory of Qian State, they have no family status, no background, and no powerful sects or aristocratic families to attach to, so they can only choose three options. Go in groups of five, or form a small gang, and operate in private.

However, the "Shanhe Forest Affairs" promulgated by Xie Wufeng also included this group of people. They could not get martial arts training resources from the mountains, rivers and forests in Qian State, so they had to venture northward and sneak into Chu State secretly, trying to pass through the mountains, rivers and forests at the northern end. The entrance to explore.

Afterwards, Xie Wufeng, led by Qi Wenhai himself, came to the main courtyard of Biehai Pavilion, where the mountains and rivers promenade, winding paths lead to seclusion.

After going through several corridors, I finally came to the attic of the main courtyard.Four or five attics were surrounded by peach forests, Qi Wenhai led Xie Wufeng and others to the largest attic in the main courtyard, a five-story high tower attic, which had already been cleaned by servants.

Just as Xie Wufeng stepped into the main hall of the attic, the three guards in Xuanyi who accompanied him suddenly felt their bodies lighten, and they couldn't exert any strength.And the guard who shot and smashed the puppet outside the main entrance of Behai Pavilion fell directly to the ground.

"My lord! My lord!"

The guards in the distance rushed over and helped the three of them up, but the three of them had already lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Xie Wufeng walked straight into the main hall, and said in a flat tone, "Help the three of them in."

"Master, what's wrong with the three of them?" Huo Long'er stood aside, with a look of curiosity in his eyes.Apparently, although she was aware of the weirdness, her master didn't get angry about it.

Xie Wufeng sat down directly, and with a flick of his sleeves, three strong winds directly entered the eyebrows of the three of them.

Xie Wufeng, who was leaning on the back of the chair, said angrily, "They are poisoned, and they have almost stepped into the second-rank realm. These three people are still so ignorant."

The personal guards of Prince Wu's Mansion all accompanied him to the south of Yan Kingdom and experienced life and death.Therefore, Xie Wufeng focused on training, but he didn't expect that after some training, the martial arts realm of the few of them had been improved, but their vigilance against danger was not as good as before.

When the three woke up leisurely, they immediately knelt on the ground and apologized.

"My lord please punish me."

"Punishment? If the king is not here today, the three of you may have fallen into the hands of others." Xie Wufeng's face was covered with frost, and he looked at the three kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

Huo Long'er shrank his neck from the sudden coldness, and hurriedly stood aside respectfully.

"My subordinates are wrong."

The three of them knelt on the ground, their eyes full of remorse, they didn't expect that the puppet's body actually had something fascinating hidden in it.

"This king can save you once or twice, but it is impossible to save you every time. You have to experience yourself in the future. Whether you can continue to follow this king depends on your respective efforts."

Although these personal guards were loyal to him, Xie Wufeng didn't want to waste too much energy and time.The purpose of going north this time is to completely control the mountains, rivers and forests, and absorb all the cultivation resources in them.

Although it is still unclear why I can still absorb the vitality of the world, transform these vitality into the breath in my body, and even form a river of breath in my limbs, but I still can't continue to hit the first-grade state.

"My lord?!"

Hearing Xie Wufeng's words, the faces of the three of them changed drastically. They thought it was Xie Wufeng who didn't want them to follow.

During this period of time, they followed Xie Wufeng to the south of the country of Yan and witnessed the strength of Xie Wufeng and Huo Long'er with their own eyes. They even stopped in front of their King Wu, so the three of them were negligent.

Xie Wufeng waved his hand, signaling all three to back down.

The attic is quiet, and the fragrance of flowers from outside the courtyard floats into the building from time to time, making the attic look even more antique.

Xie Wufeng got up and went to a long couch in the side hall, sat cross-legged, with his back facing the endless peach forest and sea of ​​flowers outside the window.

Huo Long'er, on the other hand, very consciously took out rare herbs one after another from the brocade box that had been prepared outside the building, as well as a lot of 200 years worth of golden herbs.

She lightly placed these cultivation resources one by one on the couch next to Xie Wufeng.Then, a small and weak vitality flowed towards Xie Wufeng's body.

On the way north to Zhaocheng, Huo Long'er has become Xie Wufeng's servant girl.Even if it was Xie Wufeng's medicine bath, she stayed quietly on the side through the bead curtain.

In this way, Huo Long'er originally wanted to be lazy, and she really couldn't do it. She also had to work hard to comprehend that obscure dragon clan's supreme skill - "Tai Su Long Yun Jue" when Xie Wufeng was practicing.

The silver-armored cavalry accompanying them outside and the rare grasses carried by the chariots were also transported to the Biehai Pavilion one after another.

Encountering the assassin caused an uproar in many residences in Zhaocheng, but to everyone's surprise, the just-arrived King Wu did not make any overreaction.

Only one royal guard went to Qi Mansion.Then, in Zhaocheng, everything remains the same.

The backyard of the Qi Mansion, the study room.

After the incident of the assassin, Qi Yuanwu returned to the mansion with a lot of worries, and the dozen or so generals who accompanied him were directly sent back to the barracks.

Sitting in the study, Qi Yuanwu looked solemn, not only because of the assassin, but also because he was worried that King Wu's visit this time must have malicious intentions.

Just now, the personal guards around King Wu came to the door in person and brought King Wu's will. "From now on, the north gate of Zhaocheng is closed, and no one is allowed to go out."

As Zhaocheng's garrison general, Qi Yuanwu naturally understood the deep meaning hidden in it.King Wu is going to attack those warriors who have entered Chu State or are about to enter Chu State.

Since half a month ago, all parts of Beizhou received the "Mountain, River and Forest Affairs" issued by the imperial court. At first, Qi Yuanwu thought it was a joke.Unexpectedly, the major sects of the Qian Kingdom were silent, and even started to arrange for their disciples to go to the mountains, rivers and forests to cooperate with the imperial court's will.

Blue veins suddenly appeared on Qi Yuanwu's forehead, and his hands were placed under the desk, trembling uncontrollably.

The study room here is a forbidden place in the mansion, as long as he comes here, everyone in the Qi mansion will know it and should not be disturbed.

A moment later, a gust of cool wind blew into the study room through the window sills, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from the cheeks, falling on the rice paper on the desk.

Qi Yuanwu took a deep breath, and his nervous mood calmed down.Slowly leaning against the back of the chair, it was only then that he felt that the brocade clothes on his back were soaked.

Until now, Qi Yuanwu felt a black shadow on the side of the book case, reflected on the book case.A man in a black robe was quietly sitting on a wooden chair, watching him quietly.

Qi Yuanwu rubbed his forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with you? And it's still broad daylight!"

Obviously a little unhappy, and Qi Yuanwu was already a little tired after standing on the hill outside the city for more than two hours today.

"Lord Qi, don't forget our agreement." A cold voice sounded from under the black robe.

Qi Yuanwu's eyes were fixed, and a cold light shot out of his eyes, and he snorted coldly, "I don't need to worry about this, it's a very important matter, and I will definitely be very careful."

"That's the best. It's not easy to hear about that King Wu. Mr. Qi, be careful, and be careful not to show your feet."

The cold voice of the black-robed man reminded.

"You don't need to remind me of this, you just need to do your own thing well. You don't need to intervene in Zhaocheng's affairs."

"Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye first."

At the moment when the man in black robe disappeared, a cold voice sounded beside Qi Yuanwu's ear, "If there is a need, our Feiyu Sect will definitely help you."

More than a month ago, the old head of the Qi family suddenly brought this person, and told Qi Yuanwu the real identity of the other party, the elder of the inner sect of Feiyu Sect, a first-class sect in Chu State.

Qi Yuanwu was shocked when he learned of the purpose of the old Patriarch, but for the sake of the lives of everyone in the family, he had to cooperate with the old Patriarch.

Feiyumen is the most powerful sect in Chu State, its influence is distributed in the northern part of Chu State, and even has great influence in Tianlong City.

There are eight elders sitting in the gate, all of whom have reached the half-step heaven and human realm.

Holding the armrest tightly with both hands, Qi Yuanwu struggled as if he was drowning, and cold sweat oozes from his forehead again.

Today, I saw this young King Wu from afar, who was originally confident.Now it is less than [-]%.

Yunan City, Jujianmen, and the army of Jin and Chu besieged the capital of Qian Kingdom for many days, and this incident has spread to the hearts of many people.

"It seems that the ancestors have contacted the Feiyumen of Chu State a long time ago." Qi Yuanwu looked at the roof helplessly, and soon his eyes became extremely firm.

"Since you can't control your own destiny, you can only find a side that can win the final victory. At least you can continue the bloodline for the family."

In the depths of the peach grove, the vitality of the heavens and the earth surged, and dozens of rare herbs that were hundreds of years old were piled up on the long table, all of which had lost their vitality at this time.

Xie Wufeng's sword eyebrows moved slightly, and a faint turbid air rose from the tip of his nose and dissipated in the void.

And Huo Long'er beside him was completely tired and lay down. Feeling a strange movement around him, Huo Long'er rubbed his sleepy eyes and whispered softly, "Master, are you awake?"

"woke up?"

Xie Wufeng turned sideways, glanced at Huo Long'er, looked at the crumbs of pastry remaining at the corner of the other's mouth, and said lightly, "It's you who woke up!"

"No, no, I'm also practicing." Huo Long'er wanted to quibble, but when she met Xie Wufeng's cold gaze, her whole dragon body shrank.

After dispelling the energy of heaven and earth still lingering around him, Xie Wufeng once again illuminated himself. Although the Sea of ​​Consciousness was still sealed, cracks had already appeared due to the constant adjustment of the breath in his body.

On the way north, he not only nourished the body's acupoints, but most of the heaven and earth energy he absorbed was used by him to strengthen the sealing barrier of the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Go, prepare hot water."

"Understood, the master wants a medicinal bath." Huo Long'er stood up quickly, and hurriedly ran towards the main hall, disappearing at the end of his field of vision.

Xie Wufeng looked down at his hands subconsciously, and the breath contained in the meridians of the fingertips was consumed a lot.

At this time, more than a dozen pieces of heaven and earth treasures that were swallowed by him were scattered under his hands, and the vitality of heaven and earth contained in them had been absorbed.

"Hey, if this continues, when will we be able to break through the door to the first-rank realm?"

No longer thinking about it, Xie Wufeng walked directly towards the side hall on the other side of the attic, ready to start today's medicinal bath.

Along the way to the north, [-]% of the precious grasses and treasures of heaven and earth that accompanied him had been consumed. Xie Wufeng, who was lying in the medicinal bath, began to arrange for the silver-armored knights.

Just when the big families in Zhaocheng disdained to thank Wu Feng for his actions, the silver armored cavalry accompanied by King Wu started to move, and went to the gates of Zhaocheng respectively, and began to take over the defense of the entire city.

In addition, the north gate is closed, and no one is allowed to go north unless they have a warrant from King Wu.

Xie Wufeng, who was taking a medicinal bath, did not pay attention to this series of actions, but soon he felt a strong killing intent.

More than a dozen gusts of wind fell from the sky and rushed straight to the attic where Xie Wufeng was bathing in medicine.

In an instant, Xie Wufeng grabbed the robe on the side screen and jumped out of the attic, a purple robe fluttering in the air with the wind.

The attic behind him has been mostly destroyed, and a rainbow shadow jumped out of it, standing beside Xie Wufeng with a look of embarrassment.

The guards in Xuanyi around the attic crawled out of the ruins at this time, covered in dust, fortunately they did not die on the spot.

"Bao, Bao, protect the prince!"

The silver-armored guard not far away looked at the situation, and somehow summoned up the courage to shout loudly.

In an instant, dozens of silver-armored guards flocked here from the peach grove. Seeing the half-collapsed attic, all of them looked dignified.

"Since you're here, why don't you dare show yourself?"

Xie Wufeng squinted at the void in the distance, his eyes were cold and cold.

"Master, what's going on? Long didn't even notice that group of people." Following Xie Wufeng's line of sight, Huo Long'er looked intently.

Not long after, the figures of six paths appeared in the void.In an instant, six majestic pressures enveloped Zhaocheng.

One of the white-bearded old men said loudly, "Xie Wufeng, as long as you hand over the treasure of my Feng family, I can consider saving your life."

The person who spoke was none other than Feng Hai, the elder of the Feng family in Yunan City.The three people on the side are Feng Shan, Jing Linzu, and Bian Yunbo.

In addition, there were two octogenarians who came with them, and their aura was more powerful than the other four. They were the other two clan elders sent by the Feng Family Veteran Association, Feng Qi and Feng Yu.

The loss of the family treasure "Changhui" has attracted the attention of the old society of Yunancheng Feng family.For the Feng family, the immediate priority is to retrieve the family treasure immediately.
