Chapter 328 Brothers Showdown
Chapter 328 Brothers Showdown (Addition)
"Okay, master, don't be angry, let me think about it, okay? It's just that, it's already like this, I don't think it's hard not to make enemies with him." Xuanyuan Lingjian looked at the master who was so angry in his study Turning round and round, feeling a little bit reluctant, since he was a child, his master treated him no worse than his father, cared about his life, and taught him top-notch martial arts.
"As long as you let her go safely, I'll beg your junior brother to forgive you for you." Valkyrie promised.
"Master, let me think again. It's too late, are you going to rest in the palace, or outside the palace?"
"It's fine if you want to think about it. I'm leaving. I can't sleep well in your pigeon cage. I'll come back tomorrow and you can give me an answer." After Wushen finished speaking, he disappeared into Xuanyuan Lingjian's study.
Xuanyuan Lingjian looked at the starry sky outside the study, his eyes were deep, the master didn't know the character of the younger brother, didn't he know that, with Fengrong's character of repaying any kindness and resentment, even if he let Tang Dai go back now , and will not forgive him, not to mention that just now he was afraid that the master would faint with anger, so he used a tactic to coax the master to leave first, and then made another plan.
Xuanyuan Lingjian walked out of the imperial study room and walked in the palace, thinking about what his master said, before he knew it, he came to the palace where Tang Dai lived, and stopped, there was no light inside, he must have rested, he couldn't help laughing at himself Smiling, he was really obsessed, thinking about this little woman day and night, but there was no room for him in the little woman's heart.
Slowly going up the white marble steps, suddenly, a bad feeling arises, where is the secret guard he assigned to her?That is, the person she was monitoring.He was just worried about her safety, so he put a secret guard by her side, but she misunderstood him as spying on her, so there was really nothing he could do about her!
Xuanyuan Lingjian gestured in the air, summoning the hidden guards protecting Tang Dai to come out, but after he hit twice, there was still no one. You can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hands, relying on your own excellent night vision, you can travel unimpeded.
But when he walked into the second floor of the palace and was about to approach Tang Dai's bedroom, he bumped into an object under his feet. Xuanyuan Lingjian looked down and saw that it was a person!
"Come on!" Xuanyuan Lingjian shouted sharply.
A few black shadows flew over and stood in front of him.
"Put the lamp on the palm and see what happened?!" Xuanyuan Lingjian was burning with anxiety, his eyes were scarlet. Tang Dai was very quiet these days. He didn't think that Tang Dai had escaped, but he was afraid that someone would attack Tang Dai while he was not paying attention. Killed the poisonous hand, and then flew towards Tang Dai's bedroom.
No one on the bed!
All the lamps in the hall were lit instantly, bright as day, and the ground was full of people lying here and there, including maids serving the palace, eunuchs, and mothers.
"Call the imperial physician to see what's going on with these people? Also, send people to search the palace to find out where the hidden guard and empress are!"
Xuanyuan Lingjian held back his anger and ordered the handsome man in black.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The handsome man in black immediately turned around and went out of the palace. After a while, the imperial physician on duty in the palace was brought to the palace by the handsome man in black.
"Look for them, what's the situation?" Xuanyuan Lingjian waved his hand towards the imperial physician who was about to kneel down.
The imperial doctor immediately ran to the court lady lying on the ground, took the pulse, and made a circle, knowing what she knew.
"How about it?"
"Your Majesty, these people have been drugged, and they have been fascinated, and the drug is not light. It will take three hours to wake up."
When Xuanyuan Lingjian heard about the drug, his face darkened immediately, and the premonition in his heart became stronger, but he still refused to believe it.
"Your Majesty, our people searched the entire palace, but we did not find the queen, but behind the rockery in the imperial garden, we found the secret guard we sent to protect the empress dowager. He is dead."
Two quarters of an hour later, the handsome man in black came in to report.
"Go, go to the outside of the palace, guard the city gate leading to Fengnan, and all the city gates will be closed for three days from today, only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed, the whole city is searched, suspicious persons are searched, especially Fengnan people Those who don’t live here for a long time will be arrested and interrogated.”
The handsome man in black immediately went to deliver Xuanyuan Lingjian's oral instructions.Xuanyuan Lingjian himself left the palace with a dark face and a cold face, and fled outside the palace.If his guess is correct, the little girl has been rescued from the palace, on the way back to Fengnan, but, how long did she go?Where are you now?No matter how long he walked, it was impossible to get out of Fengbei's territory, as long as he was in Fengbei's territory, he would not be able to escape from his grasp.
The handsome man in black found the commander of the Forbidden Army, and after giving Xuanyuan Lingjian the command, he immediately chased after Xuanyuan Lingjian. Their emperor would not be calm whenever he encountered the empress, so he had to follow him so that no accident would happen to him.
At this time, just a quarter of an hour before Xuanyuan Lingjian issued the order to seal the city gate, two carriages just left the city gate one after the other. There was only about a quarter of an hour in between. The carriage was a woman, followed by two men on the left and right of the carriage, one in red and one in green, but both of them wore masks, even the woman driving the carriage wore a gauze cap.I don't know what is inside the thick car curtain? !In the dark night, there was a carriage and two horses galloped, but they deliberately slowed down, trying to be fast and stable.
The carriage behind is driven by a man, and on the left side of the carriage is a man in white, protecting the people in the carriage, as if there is a treasure worth ten thousand gold inside.However, the speed of the carriage was significantly slower than that of the carriage in front, and it seemed that the speed was deliberately slowed down.
The night is deep, and the people in Xijing City have already slept peacefully. The night is full of stars. The night wind in early autumn and late summer is still hot and slightly cool. Only the city gate is still brightly lit, guarding the entry and exit of the city. Safety.
When Xuanyuan Lingjian rushed to the city gate leading to Fengnan, Ling flew up above the city gate, looked far away, and saw the man in white clothes and the carriage not far away at a glance.It's just that the one in front has long since disappeared, and Xuanyuan Lingjian didn't notice it.
"I really escaped! Let's see where you are going? As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, but I think Sun Monkey can't escape Wuzhi Mountain! Come and chase, the carriage in front." Xuanyuan Lingjian ordered, and he Fly forward.
The handsome man in black and the men in black behind him, Xuanyuan Lingjian's twelve hidden guards all followed behind Xuanyuan Lingjian, chasing the man in white and the carriage in front.
A big battle was about to break out, and the bloodthirsty warriors were ready to fight. Only the handsome man in black, Xuanyuan Lingjian's head of the dark guard, frowned secretly.That man is the emperor's younger brother, what will happen is unpredictable, he doesn't understand why the emperor is so obsessed with that Tang girl, there are so many beauties in the world, the emperor can have as many as he wants!
The sharp palm wind hit Feng Rongruo, who was dressed in white on the horse, Feng Rongruo's body floated up, and then gently fell back on the horse's back. The person whose posture was like him was so beautiful that it was unbelievable. Under it, the blue hair is like a waterfall, the handsome face is indifferent, only the dark light in the eyes, but it seems that the stars in the sky fall into, sinking into a pool of water, shimmering and generating waves, making people feel addicted to it.
"You're finally here! It's just that it's a bit later than I expected, huh...but that's it! I'm a year older than me, so you really are old? Are you so slow in responding?" Feng Rongruo narrowed her eyes. Lengmang, returning to his usual coldness, indifferently asked Xuanyuan Lingjian who was standing on the roof of the carriage to sarcastically.
"You are nothing more than that! You came all the way to Fengbei, and I discovered it. Now, the person you want to take away is under my feet. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. You can't bow your head today, as long as I don't allow it, you can't take away the person you want to take away!" Xuanyuan Lingjian retorted.
"Then try, can I bring her back from your hand!" Feng Rongruo replied flatly, and with a wave of her palm, Xuanyuan Lingjian was forced to leave the sedan chair, and flew to a tree by the side of the road .
At this time, Chu Mo and Ling Xiao saw that their master had made a move, so they didn't hesitate, and both sides also made a move, and when the twelve hidden guards who followed were about to attack Feng Rongruo and Chu Mo in batches, the roadside In the woods, Feng Rongruo's dark guards and shadow guards also dispatched as a whole, entangled with the twelve dark guards, up and down trees, on and off the road, there was a lot of fighting, only the carriage stood alone in the middle of the road, quietly and peacefully. silence.
After Martial God came out of Fengbei's palace, he went back to Feng Rongruo's secret residence, and was going to tell the little apprentice that the big apprentice had already agreed to think about it, but when he entered the courtyard, the courtyard was so quiet that it was suffocating. Go to bed early, don't wait for him? !
He ran outside Feng Rongruo's room and knocked on the door, but no one answered, pushed the door open, but there was no one on the bed, and then went to Chu Mo's room next door, but there was no one.Where did people go?Could it be that he went to the palace to find Jian'er to fight?The Valkyrie thought for a while, flew out of the small courtyard, and flew to the palace again.
However, when he was asked to rush to the palace, how could the big palace look for him, there was no one in the imperial study, no one in the bedroom, and the atmosphere in the whole palace was tense.Could it be that the brat has already made a move, snatched the person out, and then the big apprentice went after him?No, he has to go and have a look, he can't let the two of them beat him to death.He doesn't want white-haired people to send black-haired people, no apprentices!
When the Martial God broke his heart and finally found the two of them in the official Taoist leading to Fengnan, he saw that there were people lying all over the ground. Hugging each other, pulling each other's hair like shrews, you punch me, I punch you, but both of them start softly.
Then I looked at my two apprentices, bloodshot eyes were on the corners of both of their mouths, obviously they were both injured, just as you were hitting me, I punched you back, standing on the top of a tree and punching each other, after a while your feet The branch of the tree broke, and the trunk under my feet broke in a while.
Seeing the Valkyrie is furious!
"You two scoundrels, I can't listen to a word. If you two fight again today, first kill your master and step on my dead body before you fight. Otherwise, don't think about doing it again." On the treetop among the people, the left and right hands moved together to catch the blow from the two of them. The Martial God suddenly flew over, and the jealous two had no time to stop their palms, only to hear the Martial God grunt, and forcefully accepted the move of the two of them. , and then covered his chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Master!" The two exclaimed in unison.
"You two scoundrels, are you happy now? Why don't you just give me another slap and kill me, lest I worry about you and get tired." The Martial God saw the two stop, surrounded him, and one of them held the Martial God With one hand, he jumped off the treetop, stood in front of the carriage, and said angrily.
"Master, I didn't say that, let the two of us settle the matter between the two of us, and you don't want to interfere!" Xuanyuan Ling said with a sword.
"Shut up! This is how you solve it? Brothers are fighting like enemies!" Martial God yelled at Xuanyuan Lingjian, trembling with anger.
"Can you say a few words less? Master didn't enjoy our blessing, and was beaten like this by the two of us." Feng Rongruo glanced at Xuanyuan Ling and said.
"Shut up too, you're not a good bird, I've said it all, I went to the palace to beg your senior brother, but you can't wait for this moment, you have to fight to vent your anger." Martial God said to Feng Rong Ruo yelled, and Feng Rongruo twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly, and fell silent.
"Okay, master, don't be angry, sit down, and the two of us will heal people."
Xuanyuan Lingjian and Feng Rongruo looked at Wushen clutching his chest and shaking his body, knowing that he was seriously injured by the two of them, they put aside the hatred in their hearts for a while, and the Immortal Helper sat down to heal him together.
One palm, one back, one front and one back, calm down, hold your breath, and heal the master.
