Located on the cliff behind Taipingguan, there is a row of tall, short, fat and thin masked people standing.

The eyes of these people were all focused on the fight at the bottom of the mountain. Only one person was hanging upside down on the cliff, whining and begging:
"Liu Huakui, Grandma Liu, I can't hold on anymore, can you let me down first!"

The graceful masked woman standing in the middle glanced sideways at the other party:
"Ma Liu, Ma Liu, you really don't have Liu. I asked you to protect the princess. You almost exposed your family background. What can I expect from you? Just face the wall and think about it!"

"It's unfair. There were too many killers at that time. I was worried that that kid would run away, so I said I would go back and bring in reinforcements. I thought about letting him take the lead first, but I didn't reveal that I was a killer!"

"Are you stupid?" Chef Hu San continued: "It's okay if you don't tell me. If you tell me, the other party will know about our existence, and they will definitely investigate our identities in the future!"

Liu Yaoji turned her head and smiled: "Look, even a tough guy like Hu San understands the truth, but you don't know it. You are really stupid!"

"Hey, Fairy Liu, let's just talk about things and don't wait for personal attacks. I don't look like a good guy!" Hu San shouted dissatisfied.

"Okay, don't be petty. That kid is dying. Should we save him or not?" A Niu, the pear seller, looked back and asked in a deep voice.

Liu Yaoji shifted her gaze to the bottom of the mountain again. Seeing that Shi Qingfeng was still struggling to support herself, she unconsciously covered her mouth and said with a smile:

"Isn't this kid obsessed with me? He even risked his life to save the princess!"

With that said, he ordered Ma Liu on the cliff: "Liu, the chance to make amends has come. Now go down and knock that kid out so that we can show up!"

"Look at you!"

Ma Liu stood up like a carp, kicked his feet on the cliff, and flew directly down the mountain...

The battle in the backyard of the Taoist temple is still going on. Killers from the outside are like locusts, constantly joining the battlefield. They are not very skilled in martial arts, but they are powerful in numbers. After several waves of desperate charges, corpses have already piled up like mountains.

Shi Qingfeng was covered in blood, stepping on the mountain of corpses, mechanically waving the handle of the knife to block all invading enemies in front of him.

At this moment, he had multiple injuries all over his body and had lost half of his internal strength. He was relying solely on his obsession to support himself.

Li Lingyue sat on her knees on the ground, her eyes constantly looking in Shi Qingfeng's direction.

She didn't know if she would die if she fell into the killer's hands, but she knew that if she continued like this, Shi Qingfeng would definitely die!

Li Lingyue didn't want to owe Shi Qingfeng any more favors, because once he owed too many favors, he would never be able to pay them back.

She stood up, took a long breath, and said loudly to the back:

"Shi, if you don't leave, I will die in front of you!"

"To shut up!"

Shi Qingfeng didn't even look back, and kept spitting out these two words.

Li Lingyue smiled lightly and pushed her messy hair behind her ears.

"That's it, see you in Huangquan!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the attacking killer.

She chose to hand herself over in exchange for Shi Qingfeng's chance to escape.

With a "swish" sound, a cloth belt was wrapped around her waist. Li Lingyue turned her head and saw Shi Qingfeng holding the other end tightly, trying to pull her to his side.

"Let me go!" Li Lingyue shouted urgently.

Shi Qingfeng bit the tip of his tongue and sealed several acupuncture points on his body. Then he forced his luck and used up his last strength to rise into the air and pull Li Lingyue up to the roof.

At the same time, several arrows shot out from the darkness. Shi Qingfeng, who was only focused on rescuing people, was unable to dodge and was shot in the back and ankle. He spurted out a mouthful of blood, and both he and Li Lingyue fell on the rubble of the roof.

As soon as his body fell, he rolled down quickly. Seeing that the two of them were about to fall to the ground, Shi Qingfeng grabbed the eaves with one hand and grabbed Li Lingyue's skirt with the other. The two of them hung on the high eaves.

"Hold on, I'll pull you up!" Shi Qingfeng said anxiously.

Li Lingyue, who was hanging in the air, smiled gently and shook her head gently:
"Idiot, why would you risk your life for me? Just let it go!"

"I promised Your Majesty that I will keep my word!" Shi Qingfeng gritted his teeth and revealed the reason for saving her.

When Li Lingyue heard this answer, she felt a little disappointed for some reason:
"Is that the only reason?"

Li Lingyue asked out of nowhere. Although Shi Qingfeng didn't answer, the answer was already very obvious from the other party's clear eyes.

Li Lingyue smiled with relief: "Let go!"

Shi Qingfeng didn't seem to hear her and held her tightly by the lapel of her clothes. The killers reorganized their formation and continued to surround her under the eaves.

"I told you to let go!!" Li Lingyue shouted sternly. She couldn't control it anymore and bit Shi Qingfeng's wrist.

His teeth bit into the skin, and blood slowly spilled into his mouth.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Ma Liu's head suddenly appeared behind Shi Qingfeng. He covered his face and said with a playful smile:
"Princess, let me help you!"

As he spoke, he struck Shi Qingfeng cleanly on the back of the neck with his knife. Shi Qingfeng fainted instantly. As soon as his hand was loosened, Li Lingyue fell from a height like a kite with its string broken.

She thought she would fall to the ground, but instead, she fell into the arms of a masked woman.

The masked woman couldn't see her face clearly, but she was so strong that she could easily hold Li Lingyue across her chest. "Who are you?" Li Lingyue asked nervously.

The masked woman chuckled: "We are good people!"

After finishing her words, before Li Lingyue could ask her second question, a silver needle suddenly appeared in the masked woman's hand. Li Lingyue felt a pain in the back of her head and fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, both Shi Qingfeng and Li Lingyue fell into a coma. The masked woman then pulled off her veil, looked at her classmates who appeared behind her, and said angrily:
"Don't just stand there stupidly. Haven't you seen Lai Huo? Let's kill all these killers tonight, leaving no one behind!"

As soon as the masked woman gave the order, the people behind her flew to the killer's team like lightning and started chopping melons and vegetables!
Li Lingyue was like a sleeping baby, being held in the arms of the masked woman and taking care of her personally.

An hour later, the killing finally ended. Hu San and Ma Liu threw away their bloody sabers and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Damn it, what kind of enemy did this princess provoke? They actually sent so many dead soldiers to take her life, but I'm exhausted!" Ma Liu complained.

A Niu, who was looking at the corpse of the dead soldier, stood up, clapped his hands, and said firmly:
"Looking at the entire Luoyang City, I am afraid that only Prince Yu's Mansion can support so many dead soldiers!"

"Then what should we do next?" Cook Hu San continued: "We can't go to Prince Yu's Mansion to kill people!"

Liu Yaoji, who was holding Li Lingyue, looked down at the person in her arms and said leisurely:

"I'm afraid the old man made a mistake this time. In my opinion, this princess doesn't seem to be a master who is willing to give up. Just wait, there will definitely be something good to watch later!"

……

On the other side, inside Prince Yu’s Mansion!

Princess Xiao Jing'er sat beside a gorgeous couch, holding a white jade bowl and a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of soup. She blew the hot air with her pretty lips, then carefully placed it on Li Fengyang's mouth, waiting for him to drink. Soothing soup.

Kang Shun, the chief steward of the palace, stood at the door and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, Mr. An wants to see you!"

Li Fengyang, who was leaning on the couch, straightened up immediately when he heard the name. The nervous expression on his face suddenly became extremely dissatisfied. He snorted heavily: "Let him in!"

After saying that, he ordered Xiao Jing'er and several slaves in the room: "You don't have to wait anymore, all get out!"

As he finished speaking, he saw a pot-bellied old man walking in with a cheerful smile. He was the accountant who almost killed Yan'er a few days ago and was despised by Liu Yaoji and others - 'Old Antou'.

As soon as Lao An crossed the threshold, the butler Kang Shun quickly closed the door and ordered all the guards outside the room to retreat while he stood far away.

For a while, Prince Yu and Lao Antou were the only two people left in the room.

Because Lao Antou is too fat, he has a straight face, but to outsiders, he always seems to be smiling.

He did not greet Li Fengyang. After entering, he found a chair and sat down by himself. Li Fengyang snorted again and said steadily:
"If you are here to apologize, then you don't have to come. I must ask for an explanation for beating the Crown Prince!!"

Unexpectedly, Lao An slapped the handrail with both hands and said in a more unbiased tone:
"I should be asking you this. I didn't expect that His Highness Prince Yu would actually assassinate the princess. Are you tired of living in peace?"

"How presumptuous! How dare you talk to me like this? Believe it or not, you won't be able to get out of the palace tonight!"

Li Fengyang shouted angrily, already on the verge of going berserk.

Unexpectedly, Lao An looked calm and calmly took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve and threw it on Li Fengyang's couch.

Li Fengyang unfolded it and took a look, and his expression changed instantly!

Lao Antou reminded him with a smile: "Although your lineage, King Yu, will always enjoy peace and will not be in danger even if you rebel, but don't forget that the late emperor only protected you from death, but he did not promise not to expropriate you. Your throne, the things you have committed in the past few years, it is no exaggeration to say, are enough for Ling Chi ten times. Do you think that if I present these to you, will His Majesty demote you to common people?"

Having said this, Lao An lifted his lapel, crossed his legs, and continued to mock:

"Once you lose your hereditary power, you are like a tiger that has lost its teeth. No matter how long you live, what's the point? You think so!"

The letter was balled up by Li Fengyang and held tightly in his hand. After a long pause, he said in a deep voice:

"It's not that I want to assassinate the princess, but that your people came to me, so I did the favor!"

"Our people? Are they from Chang'an?"

Seeing Li Fengyang nodding, Lao Antou's face was instantly filled with anger, and he cursed unconsciously:

"These idiots are so stupid!"

Li Fengyang did not shy away and said directly: "The princess hurt the prince, and I will definitely vent my anger on her. To send people to assassinate her tonight is of course my order, but more importantly, it is the intention of the East Palace!"

When Lao Antou heard this, he was not interested in the relationship between Prince Yu and Donggong. Instead, he cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"It turns out that Prince Yu has already sided with the Crown Prince, which is gratifying. However, I heard that the Crown Prince has loved his sister since he was a child and would never do anything like 'sibling cannibalism'!"

Li Fengyang said sarcastically: "He can't do it, but the counselors around him can help him do it. Back then, in order to inherit the throne, didn't you encourage him to kill each other? Otherwise, how could the Xuanwu Sect change happen? Now the prince Shaobao has become yours, isn't what he is doing now exactly what you have done before?"

Lao An was noncommittal. They had indeed done similar things before, so he sighed, stood up slowly, and said to Li Fengyang:
"I am here to remind you that if you want to preserve the glory and wealth of Prince Yu's palace, you should not interfere in the disputes in the court. Even if you kill the princess, Empress Wu will not return to Luoyang. On the contrary, your majesty will favor her even more. I will wait for you. My duty is only to maintain the long-term peace and order of the Tang Dynasty. The prince will eventually become the emperor, and no one can shake your position in Prince Yu’s palace. Speaking of which, I hope the prince will think about it and say goodbye!"

After saying that, he cupped his hands and walked towards the door.

King Yu looked at his back, suddenly remembered something, and reminded:
"The power of Empress Wu now more and more confirms the prophecy: 'After the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine will be replaced by King Wu'!"

Lao Antou knew what he wanted to say, so he turned around and said seriously:
"When the late Emperor was alive, this prophecy had been dispelled, and it referred to Li Junxian, Duke of Wuchang County, Wulian County. Now that this person is dead, the fate of the Tang Dynasty is still there. If it really refers to Empress Wu, please rest assured, for your sake, Li Junxian We will kill our family’s empire!” (End of Chapter)
