"Keep your head up."
"Why don't you speak? Don't tell me that you are mute!"
Facing the mysterious imperial guard standing behind the emperor, Li Ruiyun was filled with doubts and pressed forward step by step; if he took another step forward, he would be able to see through the "true face of Mount Lu"...
But he never expected that at this critical moment, someone would suddenly attack! But before that, there was no awareness or hint at all.
——It shouldn’t be, it really shouldn’t be!
——Is there something that should or should not be done, Gang Leader Li, have you forgotten that just now you have focused all your energy on dealing with the emperor and the unidentified Ouchi guard beside him, so how can you free up your mind to pay attention? What about the disturbance outside? Don’t you understand the principle of “doing two things at the same time”?
——Lee Seo-yoon: This...
Everything happens in the blink of an eye. He was not allowed to think too much, and several hidden weapons penetrated the windows of the hall with a sharp whistling sound, hissing through the wind, and struck directly at his three vital parts of the head, chest, and abdomen!
Li Ruiyun hurriedly performed a nimble "Swallow Skittering Wave", and his nimble figure rose into the air, moving around like a fleeting shadow, and skillfully and narrowly avoided the attacks of several deadly hidden weapons.
The hidden weapons slid past his clothes, falling to the ground like falling meteors.
Li Ruiyun flipped upside down in the air and landed lightly on the ground. He lowered his head to look at the hidden weapons that had fallen to the ground, but they were a few small and exquisite rouge buttons.
"Lian Nanchun!..." Looking at the hidden weapon that was so familiar that it stung his eyes, Li Ruiyun narrowed his eyes, filled with rage, and could only gnash his teeth with hatred.
Ding Jinzhi, who was stunned at the side, also recovered from his panic and shouted in an almost changed voice: "There is an assassin! Hurry and catch the assassin!"
The guards guarding both sides heard the wind and responded "hey" in unison. They showed their weapons and poured out of the palace gate like a tide to capture the assassin.
Just listen to the clashing of swords outside, making a sonorous and powerful sound of gold and jade clashing, like a fierce storm passing through the air, especially harsh in the silent night.
Then there was a burst of feminine laughter, as cold as the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month, with a lingering tone and a hint of provocation.
"Li Ruiyun, we haven't seen each other for so long, you seem to be more and more stingy about your wealth and life! If you have the guts, does the dignified Tianxiao gang leader really want to imitate those shy businesswomen who half-cover their faces with their pipa in their arms? Like a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding in its shell all the time, afraid to see the light?"
The words seemed familiar. Then he remembered that Ling Yun had said the same thing to him in the same tone at a different time and place a few days ago.
——Haha, this is a man and a woman who are really in sync with one another and work together in a conspiracy, causing him the most headache but having no choice but to do anything about it!
Thinking of this, Li Ruiyun felt itchy with hatred. With scarlet eyes and a livid face, he walked out without saying a word.
In the open space outside the main hall, I saw a woman in black with a black gauze covering her face, her clothes fluttering, her body was light, her long sword flying up and down in her hand, like a dragon out of the sea, a silver snake spitting out messages, fighting with those fierce and fierce people. The violent Ouchi guards were entangled and fighting with each other.
"Catch her!" Li Ruiyun's dark eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if a ferocious beast in the forest would pounce at any time and tear the opponent to pieces.
But he saw the woman in black casually raising her hand, and the cold light was like "a goddess scattering flowers", hitting the vital parts of the several Ouchi guards who surrounded her.
It hit the guards' shoulder blades exactly and impartially. Everyone fell down in response, lying on the ground in various shapes.
Needless to say, it is her fierce and domineering unique hidden weapon "rouge button"!
Just now, when she hid among the flowers and trees outside the window of the main hall and attacked Li Ruiyun with several "rouge buttons", Li Ruiyun tried her best to avoid it - even so, he was also shocked. Covered in cold sweat.
Now it was these Ouchi guards with mediocre martial arts who were not so lucky when faced with such a cruel and ruthless hidden weapon attack.
Watching the hidden weapons attack, they had almost no power to fight back. As a result, nine out of ten people were hit by hidden weapons and fell to the ground, writhing in pain and wailing. The situation seemed extremely painful and miserable to watch.
When the woman saw that the move was successful, she felt proud and let out a chuckle in her throat. It was like a demonic sound coming from hell, sharp and cold, making people feel miserable and bone-chilling.
Then her beautiful figure suddenly rose up, forming a graceful "colorful phoenix nest", and the corners of her skirt were like ripples on the water. She floated past the crowd who were almost unable to fight back, and escaped in the blink of an eye. In the vast darkness.
"Chase! We must catch her at all costs!..." Li Ruiyun seemed to have had all his sense wiped out, and the burning anger in his chest flooded into his scarlet eyes, and he gasped and roared.
At this time, Ding Jinzhi walked out of the hall with a grand look on his face, and promptly stopped his extremely irrational behavior in anger, "Master Li, please be patient."
Seeing that Li Ruiyun still had a ferocious look on his face, his eyes widened with anger, and a very unwilling look, Ding Jinzhi hurriedly stepped forward and added, "Be careful of the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Li Ruiyun's face was frozen for a moment.
Seeing that Li Ruiyun's mind was changing and he seemed to be pondering, Ding Jinzhi continued to seduce with emotion and reason, "Our main goal tonight has been achieved; in fact, such an insignificant woman is not worth it at all. Those who spend a lot of effort to compete with him achieve great things without sticking to trivial matters - Mr. Li, the overall situation is still the most important thing!"
Li Ruiyun turned to look at the man standing in front of him, raised his head and took a deep breath, his furious expression gradually softened.
"You're right, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. Just such a trivial matter is not worth fussing over."
He tried hard to ignore the surging emotions that had just appeared, and nodded slightly, his face returning to its usual calmness, as if the person who had just lost his mind was not him at all.
"Master Ding," he said as he took out the imperial edict that had been obtained after many twists and turns from his arms, handed it to Ding Jinzhi's hand, and said solemnly: "I will entrust you with this heavy burden. ”
Looking at Li Ruiyun's eyes full of expectation and trust, Ding Jinzhi was flattered. He took the imperial edict with sincerity, held it in his hand tremblingly, and Nuonuo said repeatedly: "Yes, I will accept the edict. I will never let down Mr. Li's great trust. Even if I am ruined, I will not hesitate to do so!"
"Okay, as long as Mr. Ding says this, I will feel relieved."
Li Ruiyun's expression was solemn, revealing an awe-inspiring and stern look, "Tomorrow morning, I will also call Li Zhishan and meet in the imperial study. We will discuss the specific details of this matter in detail."
After this sudden change, Li Ruiyun had already forgotten the unfinished matter in the hall.
The unidentified Ouchi guard who had a "humble position" but was "outstanding", and the far-fetched explanations of being "poor in words" or "quick-tongued" had already been unconsciously ignored in his doubtful mind. .
Just like what Ding Jinzhi said just now, "to achieve big things, don't stick to the small details." What do these trivial matters matter? The overall situation is still the most important now!
So what he was thinking about at this time was: how to plan the next move, and arrange for his two most trusted ministers, Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan, to rush to the third pass without delay with the hard-won, life-and-death edict. , summoned Prince Guangling and his son to return to Beijing quickly, and then plan the next step.
At that moment, Li Ruiyun and Ding Jinzhi had reached an agreement, and without any further delay, they turned around and hurried away, leaving the emperor and Ding Jiying dry and dry.
"He was attacked suddenly when he came, and he didn't even say hello when he left. This Mr. Li is really a ghost, and it's hard to figure out!" Ding Jiying couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained...
