"You mean, the head of the Li family has been poisoned?"
Taixue Palace, North Courtyard.
Fa Ru, who had just walked out of Wangyu's room, was shocked when he heard the news brought by the Confucian disciples in front of him, and quickly continued to ask, "Where is Li Jiaoxi, where is he now?"
"Li Jiaoxi has left the capital and rushed to Yuzhou City." The Confucian disciple who conveyed the message responded respectfully.
"Oops."
When Fa Ru heard this, his face darkened. This might be a plot against the Li family.
"Don't spread this matter around, especially don't let your senior brothers know about it."
Faru warned in a deep voice, and then hurried towards the east courtyard.
The Li family boys and the others had just returned to the capital, and something like this happened. It was so sudden.
There must be a conspiracy behind this.
East courtyard.
In a quiet courtyard.
Fa Ru came in a hurry, not even caring about etiquette, and entered the courtyard directly.
"What's wrong?"
In front of the wooden house, Confucius saw Faru in a hurry and asked, "What happened?"
"There is news from Yuzhou City that the head of the Li family has been poisoned. Li Ziye has left the capital and gone to Yuzhou."
Fa Ru said in a deep voice, "Chief Confucian, could it be that the imperial court has started to attack the Li family?"
"The head of the Li family was poisoned?"
When Confucius heard this, he looked surprised and said, "It's strange, the court and the Li family haven't broken up yet, so they shouldn't take action so quickly."
"Confucian leader, what should we do now?"
Faru said with a solemn expression, "The Li family boy may be in danger when he returns to Yuzhou this time. Even if this is not a trap set by the imperial court, those who want to deal with the Li family will definitely take advantage of this opportunity."
"Hold on."
Kong Qiu looked in the direction of Li Yuan, a strange color flashed through his vicissitudes of eyes. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "It's okay, the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal is also going with him."
When Fa Ru heard the words of the Confucian leader, he relaxed a little. After thinking about it, he continued to ask, "Confucian leader, what about the marriage proposal?"
"Let's hold off."
Confucius sighed and said, "The Li family has suffered such a disaster. It is no longer appropriate to propose marriage now."
"If you don't propose marriage, how can you explain it to Wang Yu? Are you keeping it a secret?" Faru said in a solemn voice.
"Tell him when his injury is better. You can't hide it." Confucius responded.
"That's fine."
Faru thought for a moment and nodded.
At night.
The cold wind is biting.
To the west of the capital, fast horses galloped, rushing day and night to Yuzhou City.
The three of them were extremely fast, each carrying two horses, just to speed up the journey.
Late at night.
After traveling for a day and a night, the horse stopped for a short rest.
Li Ziye lit a bonfire and sat in front of it, silently watching the dancing flames in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Xiao Ziye, Uncle Li will be fine, don't worry too much." Hongzhu sat beside him and comforted him.
Li Ziye came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said, "Sister Hongzhu, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something."
Opposite the bonfire, Qin Grace closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. She was already injured and had traveled a long distance, and her eyes could not hide the fatigue.
Li Ziye noticed the fatigue on his master's face, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
The Fairy Master was always in trouble with him, and before his injuries healed, he had to travel with him for days.
"Don't think wildly, take the time to rest, and continue on your way at dawn." Qin Wanna seemed to feel it, closed her eyes, and reminded her.
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded, stopped thinking, closed his eyes, and calmed down.
The night is getting darker.
The cold moon travels westward.
The entire wilderness was quiet, except for the crackling sound of the bonfire, which sounded from time to time, so harsh in this silent night.
Sudden.
Qin Wanna, who was adjusting her breath, suddenly opened her eyes, murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"somebody is coming!"
Qin Wegna spoke up and reminded.
Li Ziye and Hongzhu heard the reminder and opened their eyes one after another.
But see the end of the night.
Dozens of black shadows took advantage of the darkness and gradually approached, obviously, they were coming towards the three of them.
"I went to deal with them."
Li Ziye said something, then stood up and walked towards the depths of the night.
Qin Wegna didn't stop him either.
These people's auras are not strong, and he can deal with them alone.
After ten breaths.
The end of the night.
Fierce fighting sounds were heard.
Under the dark night, the sword's edge was like lightning, merciless. After a while, black shadows fell into a pool of blood.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Li Ziye walked back with a pure Jun sword stained with blood. He was covered in blood and his nose was extremely pungent.
"Who sent it?" Hongzhu asked.
"I can't tell. They are all carefully trained soldiers." Li Ziye said with a cold expression.
"Death warrior?"
Hearing this, Hongzhu frowned slightly and said, "It is unusual for a force to be able to support the dead."
Li Ziye sat down in front of the bonfire again and said coldly, "It's not surprising that those who dare to attack the Li family are not ordinary forces."
"Could it be the imperial court?" Hongzhu asked in a condensing voice.
"I'm also doubting it."
Li Ziye looked at the dancing bonfire and said in a deep voice, "However, it doesn't seem like it. If it were the imperial court, the methods would be more violent. Although these people are well-trained, their strength can only be said to be average."
"It won't be the imperial court."
Opposite the bonfire, Qin Grace said, "If the imperial court takes action, it will definitely kill him with one strike. The imperial court has no shortage of experts."
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded, he thought so too.
It was obvious that someone wanted to deal with the Li family, but whether it was due to limited ability or other reasons, no real masters were dispatched.
"Little Ziye, have you ever thought about who was responsible for Uncle Li's poisoning this time?" Hongzhu said with a solemn expression.
"I don't have a clue yet."
Li Ziye said in a deep voice, "We can only wait until we return to Yuzhou City to investigate carefully."
Lao Li is always cautious in doing things, so to make Lao Li poisoned, there must be a careful plan.
However, no matter how precise the design is, it cannot be flawless.
Since the person behind the scenes has set up this situation, he must have a plan, and the fox's tail will be exposed sooner or later.
The three rested for two hours. At dawn, the three set off again and continued towards Yuzhou City.
at the same time.
In the sky from Dashang Capital City to Yuzhou City, homing pigeons flew over one after another.
All forces knew that opportunities were rare and time was precious, so they tried their best to kill Li Ziye on his way back to Yuzhou City.
Two days and two nights.
Li Ziye and the others encountered no less than five waves of assassinations in succession.
Assassination, poisoning, arson, everything is possible.
Fortunately, the three of them were well prepared and saved the day time and time again.
Li Ziye showed no mercy to the dead men who came to assassinate him, killing them all without leaving a single one alive.
The third day.
The three people who traveled day and night finally had less than half a day's journey left from Yuzhou City.
However.
Real trouble appears before a necessary mountain road.
On both sides of the mountain road.
A thousand elite soldiers ambush secretly.
Every soldier is wearing armor, carrying a hard bow, and is extremely well equipped. They are waiting for the arrival of the three men.
