Different from the prosperity and excitement in the imperial capital, there is a secret room in the palace.
A tall figure sat in a dark secret room with his eyes closed and meditating. After a long time, the man slowly opened his eyes, and a bloody light flashed past in the depths of his eyes. The man looked towards the darkness somewhere and said, "What are you doing?" What do you think of this Li You?"
A hunched figure walked out of the darkness and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't see that he has any cultivation. He is no different from ordinary people."
"Without cultivation, hehe, our army was wiped out in the Zhao Kingdom half a year ago, and not a single one came back alive. There is a cultivator in the mortal world, do you think it could be him?" The man sitting slowly said, he took Undecided, this Li You suddenly appeared and easily won the championship in the competition to recruit a bride. Tonight, someone was sent to observe at the banquet, but he acted like an ordinary person, which really made him suspicious.
"I don't dare to guess without permission, but I think we can send a subordinate with low cultivation level to test it." The rickety man gave his suggestion.
"In your opinion, you can't expose it. Remember not to hurt anyone in the royal family." The man waved his hand and asked the rickety man to step back. He continued to close his eyes and meditate. After a while, the man walked out of the secret room and came outside. Everyone who saw him knelt down and saluted, but he looked at the moon covered by dark clouds in the sky and didn't know what he was thinking.
On the other side, the Seventh Princess's Mansion.
At this time, Wuming and Liu Hongyan had returned to the palace. Liu Hongyan was very satisfied with sneaking out to play this time. However, Wuming's failure to answer the question in the end made her a little angry.
Such a beautiful girl like her took the initiative to kiss him, and she was still a princess, but this idiot was still indifferent, and didn't even answer. She was obviously the one who suffered the loss, but why did he suffer the same? It really pissed her off.
Liu Hongyan was getting more and more angry as she watched Wuming think about it. She raised the pillow on the side and threw it at Wuming. She knew that Wuming would not be hit, and she just wanted to vent her anger.
Wuming caught the thrown pillow, looked at Liu Hongyan who turned her head to the other side and wondered in her heart: "Is this woman sick? If she suddenly hit someone with something, it means she is not an ordinary person, otherwise she would have succeeded. "
Seeing that Liu Hongyan had no intention of explaining that she had just hit someone, he didn't say much, got up and walked outside the house. Seeing Wuming about to leave, Liu Hongyan quickly turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"
"It's getting late, I'm going back to my inn." Wuming said. He thought that if he stayed here with so many people, he wouldn't be able to practice well. If someone caught him practicing, and then someone with intentions would find out, He is bound to be known by the people of the Blood God Cult.
"Hey, don't leave in a hurry. You will stay at the Princess Mansion tonight. We have to meet my father tomorrow morning to discuss our marriage. It's so late for you to leave, isn't it? "Liu Hongyan quickly stood up and blocked the door before Wuming went out, preventing him from leaving.
Wuming looked at the girl standing in front of him and said, "That's your arrangement, don't worry about my opinion." He didn't attach much importance to getting married to Liu Hongyan. After all, the two had a deal before, so Wuming agreed to win the contest.
But the girl in front of him was unmoved. Wuming sighed helplessly: "Okay, prepare a separate room for me." As bold as the girl was to secretly kiss him at night, he was afraid that the girl would do something else.
Seeing Wuming relent, Liu Hongyan felt happy and quickly took Wuming to the room she had prepared in advance.
Wuming felt speechless again when he saw the room where even his sleeping clothes were prepared.
"You will sleep in this room tonight, and I will sleep next door. If you need anything, just call me in my room." Liu Hongyan said before leaving. She seemed to want to say something more, but Wuming closed the door and shut her down.
Of course, the Princess Mansion has servants who clean it every day, so there is no chance of dust getting on the door.
Seeing Wuming closing the door so simply, Liu Ruyan felt so angry that she kept stamping in front of the door. When she got tired of stamping, her beautiful eyes flashed cunningly for a moment as if she thought of something, and she returned to her room.
Wuming lay on the extremely soft big bed and sighed in his heart: Rich people really know how to enjoy it.
Wuming closed his eyes. Wuming couldn't cultivate well tonight, so he should have a good sleep and relax his tense heartstrings a little.
Just when Wuming was about to sleep and die, he was suddenly shaken. He felt someone coming into the room. His first reaction was that Liu Hongyan had come in, but then he realized something was wrong. It was not Liu Hongyan. The person who came in had spiritual energy fluctuations. Judging from his aura, he was still a man. It seemed that the assassin was coming for him.
Wuming did not act rashly and pretended to be still asleep, inducing the assassin to relax his vigilance.
Just when the assassin stretched out his hands to strangle Wuming's neck, Wuming lifted the cup on his body and covered the assassin with the quilt.
While the assassin was still panicking at the sudden turn of events, Wuming had already punched the man on the head. Wuming did not attack with all his strength. He wanted to catch him alive and arrest him for questioning later.
Before the assassin could pull off the quilt, he was blown away by an unknown force and hit the wooden table beside him. The wooden table was instantly smashed into pieces.
The assassin suddenly stopped moving.
Wuming was a little worried. He sensed that the assassin's cultivation was only at the fifth level of soul refining. With his current ninth level of soul refining, he couldn't kill him in one go. Or was he pretending to be dead?
Wuming cautiously moved forward and opened a corner of the quilt. As soon as Wuming opened it, he saw a dagger coming towards him. Wuming turned sideways to avoid the dagger, and struck the man's neck with his hand as he rushed forward.
The assassin instantly collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
Suddenly a door opened and made a sound on the wall nearby. Wuming looked there, thinking there was an assassin? There were no lights on at this time and it was still dark.
But it was not the assassin who came, but Liu Hongyan.
Liu Hongyan still didn't know what was going on, so she tried to tiptoe quietly to Wuming's bedside. Wuming just watched her walk to the bedside and reached out to fumble around on the bed.
When Liu Hongyan touched around but found that there was nothing on the bed, she asked doubtfully: "Where is Li You?"
"I'm here." Wuming replied calmly.
"Ah!" Wuming's sudden voice obviously startled Liu Hongyan. You must know that she used a secret door to sneak in only to find herself right under his nose. This felt very bad.
"Okay, stop screaming." Wuming had already walked to the candlestick and lit a candle. Feeling that it was not bright enough, he walked to the window and opened it to let in the bright moonlight.
When the room was lit up, Liu Hongyan saw Wuming staring at her and said with a blush, "Good evening, Mr. Li, I'm... here to see if your quilt is properly covered. I'm afraid you'll kick the quilt, so I came here specially." I checked it, and I definitely didn’t want to do anything.”
There was a bit of embarrassment in her words. Wuming rolled his eyes after hearing this. If he believed her, he would probably be stupid to death.
"I didn't ask you why you came here, look over there." Wuming did not ask Liu Hongyan what he was doing when he was supposed to be asleep, but pointed to the assassin on the ground.
At first, Liu Hongyan was relieved when Wuming didn't ask what she meant. After hearing the second half of the sentence, she looked in the direction he was pointing in confusion. At a glance, she noticed that the solid wood table that was originally placed there was now torn apart and in tatters. Then, She saw someone lying next to her.
The man was dressed in black and was not noticed by her at first, but when she saw that there was another person in the room, Liu Hongyan was shocked. In order to attack at night, she did not arrange for anyone to be in Wuming's room, and she saw that there was another person in the room. This man's appearance was not from her palace. An assassin had sneaked into the princess's palace, which made her shocked and angry.
Fortunately, Wuming was very skilled and was not defeated by him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
At this time, the entire princess palace became lively. Hundreds of soldiers were running around the palace. The reason was that the patrolling soldiers found a palace maid who had fainted. After waking her up, she said that someone put a dagger on her neck and asked questions. Under the threat of death, she pointed out the nameless room in which room her consort lived, after which she was knocked unconscious.
So, when the soldiers leading the team learned that an assassin had sneaked into the princess's mansion, all the soldiers in the princess's mansion were called up to search for the assassin. When a group of soldiers came to the house and broke in, they saw Wuming and Liu Hongyan standing there. At this time, the leading soldiers knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Report to the princess, it seems that a spy has sneaked into the house. We are still searching. Please go to the hall with the princess and the consort to receive protection."
"No need, the spy has been caught. Let your people go back. By the way, don't let anyone know about the assassin tonight." Wuming said calmly.
The soldier did not get up, but looked at Liu Hongyan, "Didn't you hear what the prince-in-law said? Go back!" Liu Hongyan was helpless when she saw that the soldier did not listen to Wuming's words. After all, in the eyes of many people, there is no difference between a prince-in-law and a visiting son-in-law. He is a free-loading pretty boy, and he will definitely not listen to his words.
After all the soldiers had left and the door was closed, Wuming walked up to the assassin. Seeing that the assassin was still unconscious, he picked him up and put him on a chair aside, and asked Liu Hongyan to find someone to fetch a basin of water.
Wuming poured a basin of cold water on the assassin.
"Ah!" The assassin who was still unconscious was shocked when the cold water was poured on him. At this moment, his whole body felt cold.
After a moment of trembling, he saw Wuming sitting opposite him.
"You!" The assassin was surprised. You must know that he is a person with cultivation. Although he is only at the fifth level of soul refining, in this mortal world where everyone is mortal, he is also the group of people with the highest level of strength. At this moment, he missed and still Got knocked unconscious.
"I'm asking you to answer, understand?" Wuming didn't want to go around the bush and directly put the assassin's dagger on the assassin's neck. Liu Hongyan rolled her eyes. It was a similar situation when she and Wuming met for the first time. Co-authored A girl as beautiful as herself was almost the same as this assassin in his eyes.
"Kill me directly. Don't ask any questions from me. Lord Blood God will avenge me!" the assassin replied.
"Okay." Wuming said and slit the assassin's neck with a knife. The assassin's eyes were filled with disbelief. He was still thinking, couldn't you ask me a few more times? After asking a few times, I'll tell you if I'm not sure. If you don't follow the routine, I'll just kill you.
