Longhai County is under total martial law.
"Baize, the Immortal Gate of Yunhai, assassinated Prince Liang's Mansion at night, and the whole city is looking for him!" The county's soldiers and horses cavalry battalion posted a search warrant throughout the city. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels!
"No way?" The onlookers were talking a lot, "The Yunhai Immortal Sect is the orthodox Taoist sect in the North! How can a disciple of the Immortal Sect do something like assassination?"
"That's hard to say." Someone in the crowd said in a strange tone, "As the saying goes, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. It is true that the Yunhai Immortal Sect is the orthodox Taoist sect of the North, but the Immortal Sect has a great cause, and there is no guarantee that there will not be one or two. Scum.”
The county's city defense formation was opened overnight, and the four walls were lit up by divine light, forming a solid fortress. All troops and horses from the county and city were dispatched, and their horses galloped, piercing the last tranquility of the night.
Not only the people from the county and city soldiers and horses, but also all the county soldiers were dispatched. After all, it was Prince Liang’s house that had the trouble. What are the various identities of Prince Liang? That was the uncle of the Zhou Dynasty! Not to mention an assassination, the prince was frightened and the King of Zhou blamed him. At the least, he would be dismissed from office, but at the worst, he might lose his head!
Therefore, in addition to the retainers of the palace, the prefect of the county and city personally went into battle and gave an order to his subordinate generals: arrest the assassins of the palace overnight, or else they will come to see him?
Zeng Xianming, the commander-in-chief of the Military and Horse Division, had just taken office, but he fell into such a big pit. You can imagine his complicated mood.
Although Xunrili's prefect and the commander-in-chief had some bad feelings, at this point, no matter how they dared to stumble the other party, they both tried their best to search for Bai Ze throughout the city.
After all, this is a matter of life and fortune for the two of them. If one of them fails to handle it well, not to mention the two of them, but also the entire family behind them, may be dragged into the pit and be doomed!
Therefore, the two of them didn't care about Bai Ze's identity and wanted to catch him first. After all, the world of temples and temples is still fighting against each other. Even if the Yunhai Immortal Sect covers the sky in the Northern Dao Sect with one hand, it will still make the Great Zhou Dynasty weak.
"Sir, what if the Xianmen resists desperately?" The leading military captain asked his lord just to be on the safe side.
Without thinking, the prefect raised the sword in his hand and hit the captain's helmet with a hammer with a clang.
"Sir?" The leading captain was startled.
"Do you still need to ask?" The prefect puffed his beard and glared in anger, "I would like to ask you, do you dare to go against the imperial court, or do you dare to challenge the immortal sect?"
The captain who led the army was stunned when he heard this.
Seeing this, the prefect became even more angry and almost lost his temper and scolded him bloody.
"You can't afford to offend anyone!" The prefect snorted coldly and rode away.
Only then did the leading captain react, slapped his forehead, and shouted, "Sir, wait for your humble position!"
…
The county was full of pursuers searching for Bai Ze.
In addition to the soldiers and horsemen and the county soldiers, there were also the royal family's retainers, as well as many children of aristocratic families who were close to Prince Liang's palace.
It stands to reason that Bai Ze's Shadow Escape, which comes and goes without a trace, is absolutely easy to get rid of the pursuers. But Bai Ze discovered that no matter where he ran, pursuers would soon follow him.
"Damn it." Bai Ze hid in a loft somewhere in the county. Seeing the centurion from the Military and Horse Department chasing him again, he finally realized that something on his body might have exposed his whereabouts.
Bai Ze immediately thought of the evil deeds Cao Zong had done and the fragrant worm that infested him. But he looked carefully and found that there was nothing like this kind of bug on his body.
"Go in and search!" the centurion of the Military and Horse Department ordered, and soldiers were already rushing open the door on the ground floor and heading up to the attic.
Bai Ze's eyes were sinister, he took out the breath-avoiding bead from the chess piece, swallowed it directly, and said in his heart: "I don't believe it anymore, you can still find it this time!"
The young man in black used Shadow Escape again, and just before the soldiers from the Bingma Division broke open the attic door, he was directly submerged into the shadows. In the blink of an eye, he had already left the attic and ran straight to the east.
The continuous use of Shadow Escape has already made Bai Ze feel a little overwhelmed.
During the battle in the wilderness, the girl in black severely injured Bai Ze. Although the trauma has healed to some extent, there is no major problem. But the internal injuries still need to be treated, and they won't heal quickly.
Besides, he had already consumed a lot in that battle, and now that he was using Shadow Escape one after another to hide, the energy in his body was almost unbearable.
Bai Ze sneaked in the darkness and quickly checked for anything on his body that might reveal his whereabouts. But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out.
The lake within the county is named Yueming Lake.
Yueming Lake is quite large, and the lake is deep enough to carry a giant ship with a displacement of over 10,000 kilograms! At this time, the lights on Yueming Lake were still bright, and the young man and young lady on the boat on the upper lake were not affected by the entire search.
In the center of Yueming Lake, there is a huge ship with a height of four feet above the water. The giant ship was playing and singing, and the red silk was fluttering wildly in the night wind. There is a young girl in the age of twenty-eight from Qinlou Chuguan, dancing gracefully on the stage in the huge cabin of the huge ship, wearing light clothes and thin sweat, she is very attractive.
On the huge ship, young men from aristocratic families gathered in small groups, drinking and chatting happily in the warm and fragrant soft jade, feeling intoxicated.
The sound of the piano is faint, and the plate is full of pearls and jade.
"Twenty-Four Bridges, on a moonlit night, where can a beautiful lady be taught how to play the flute?" On the giant boat, a handsome young man stood leaning on the railing, raising a glass to invite the bright moon, and sighing as if he was drunk or awake at the stone arch bridge connecting the north and south on the Yueming Lake. .
"What a poem, what a poem!" The dandy boys beside the coquettish young master all agreed. All of them were drunk and drunk. They only had one arm around the girl who was accompanying him at the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, and the other hand held the cup. Holding the wine glass, he shouted to the coquettish young man, "Young Master Ye, what a poem! Recite one more!"
"Cherry Fan Su mouth, Yangliu small waist." The coquettish young man put one hand around the slender waist of a young girl. The girl's slender waist was not even tied, and the dress on her body was quite exotic, wrapping her graceful figure and making her attractive. Heart and soul.
"Come again, come again!" the young masters from the surrounding aristocratic families shouted.
The coquettish young man moved his hands up and down the young girl's slender waist, making the young girl smile and tremble. The young gentlemen who were staring at the young girl's lithe figure almost drooled.
However, the coquettish young man took a sip of the wine and did not swallow it. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and summoned another young girl with a small cherry mouth. Then he bent down and lowered his head, encircling the young girl in his arms, sealing her mouth with his mouth. All the wine went into the young girl's mouth.
With his lips and teeth lingering, the coquettish young man did not forget to tease the young girl's sweet and wine-scented lilac tongue.
The young girl was coquettish and blushing, looking like a seductive fairy.
"Young Master is good or bad..." the young girl said softly.
"Hahaha!" The coquettish young man stretched out his hand, put his slender fingertips on the young girl's chest, the bud that was about to bloom, gently caressed it, and chanted the next two sentences, "You still need to tease frequently, then Make it a big dumpling!"
The young girl with a small cherry mouth was pinched and rubbed by the coquettish young man. Her legs softened and she threw herself directly into the coquettish young man's arms, almost falling to her knees.
"Sir, do you think the slave's family is too young?" The young girl's pink face was full of spring, and her almond-shaped eyes were full of autumn water. When people saw her, they couldn't help but want to hold her in their hands and love her.
"Where." The coquettish young man smiled evilly, "I just like the feeling of being brought up with one hand."
After hearing this, the young masters from the surrounding aristocratic families all sighed and drooled with envy, "Cherry Fan Su's mouth, Yangliu's small waist. Alas! These two stunning beauties from Fengyue Tower were actually captured by Mr. Ye. It's really shocking. So envious!”
The coquettish young man smiled and said nothing, but looked meaningfully at the street scene on the bank of Yueming Lake.
On the lake shore, Bai Ze appeared in a dark corner and happened to see the lively "scenery" on Yueming Lake. He had an idea and considered whether he could sneak in to avoid the search.
But before he could think clearly, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and pressed directly on his shoulder.
Bai Ze was startled, and his heart skipped a beat.
The black jade sword was immediately unsheathed!
"Gan! It's me, what are you doing?" Su Wen was also startled, and when he saw Bai Ze drawing his sword, he hurriedly avoided it.
"Young Master?" Bai Ze almost hit Su Wen on the head with his sword. When he saw that the person coming was Su Wen, his face did not look happy at all, but instead showed deep suspicion.
"Who am I?" Su Wen rolled his eyes, and seeing that Bai Ze didn't let down his guard, he said, "Why, are you afraid that I'm a fake?" After saying that, he twitched his nose and said, "You kid just ate I refined the Great Return Pill and gave it to you."
"It's really you!" Bai Ze finally gave up his guard, "Young master, what happened to the assassin in Prince Liang's palace?"
"I fucking want to know too!" Su Wen glared at Bai Ze, "Didn't Jiang Wei tell you that you can't touch Zhao Weiyuan? Why are you still..."
"Wait, who are you talking about?" Bai Ze frowned, with an ominous premonition, "What does the assassination of Prince Liang have to do with Zhao Weiyuan?"
Su Wen looked at Bai Ze seriously and said, "You really didn't do it?"
"What's going on?" Bai Ze expressed his position, "I just arrived at the county town tonight, how could I sneak into Prince Liang's Mansion to assassinate me? That day I was abducted by the demon girl from the Blood Shadow Tower, and later I was captured by Senior Brother Kongchan from the Xuankong Temple. Save, before tonight, we are still together."
Su Wen took a deep breath, his face gloomy, and then told Bai Ze the whole story.
It turns out that when Prince Liang was assassinated in his palace, it was the prince of Yan State, Zhao Weiyuan, who assassinated Prince Liang. Zhao Weiyuan was cultivating at the Panlong Peak of the Yunhai Immortal Sect. His conduct was bad. Although he relied on pills to force his cultivation to the level of the Four Realms Supreme, few of the Immortal Sect disciples thought highly of him.
During the assassination attempt at Prince Liang's Mansion, Zhao Weiyuan stabbed a dagger directly into Prince Liang's chest, just a few minutes away from his heart. King Liang's status in Longhai County was extraordinary, but when it came to cultivation, he was a dabbler. He could only learn the method of nourishing Qi from the guests in his house, so as to prolong life.
Therefore, although this dagger did not directly kill King Liang, it still made him bedridden and comatose, making it difficult to say whether he would live or die.
Zhao Weiyuan assassinated King Liang and was pinned to the ground by the guests on the spot. But that kid was a ruthless person. After he was caught, he didn't panic. Instead, he laughed wildly and claimed that he was the third prince of the Yan Kingdom. Who dared to touch him?
The guest in the palace didn't care whether he was the third prince of the Yan Kingdom or the third prince of the Qi Kingdom, he just tied him up and threw him into the dungeon of the palace.
No one believed Zhao Weiyuan's lunatic words.
As soon as King Liang fell, Princess Chai saw that her husband was covered in blood and was so angry that she screamed on the spot, closed her eyes, and almost died. Therefore, the overall situation of the palace was taken over by the crown prince Liang Maoye.
