Qingchen remembered that he once asked his father, since the Shadow Guard is so powerful, why not use the Shadow Guard to launch a war against the enemy?
With the strength of the Shadow Guard, whether it is assassination or head-on fighting, they are invincible on the battlefield.
But my father said that Shadow Guards are not real
"Humans" are just creatures that have signed a contract with one of Tianqi's ancestors. This contract allows them to protect Chang'an Imperial City for thousands of years, but it also limits their freedom. If they leave Chang'an City, they may completely disappear from this world.
At the end of this conversation, Gide said something intentionally or unintentionally,
"It has been too long since the signing of the contract. I always feel that the Shadow Guard seems to want to find a way to break the contract. It may be that I am paranoid, but when you succeed to the throne in the future, remember not to rely too much on the Shadow Guard. I completely put my life and that of the royal family into their hands.”
"See the Queen Mother, Your Majesty." The shadow guard's hoarse voice interrupted Ji Qingchen's thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Ji Qingchen asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, on the way to the palace at night, the princess rode her horse and collided with several Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain. After knowing the identity of the princess, the Taoist priests forcibly blocked the way and forced the princess to apologize. "The shadow guard replied emotionlessly.
"Sure enough, the Ai family guessed it." The Queen Mother sat up and said
"Have those Taoist priests made any move against the commander-in-chief?"
"The deputy commander of the Tianlong Guard, Zhang Xiuxiu, and the Right Prime Minister Li Ping arrived in time and have just negotiated with the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, but the other party did not appreciate it."
"So, this matter cannot be resolved." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and spoke in a cold tone.
"If we gather the power of the Shadow Guards, can we take down those Taoist priests?" The Shadow Guards shook their heads and said, "It would be fine if they were just a few ordinary Taoist priests. However, the Lu Tianshi from the Tianshi Mansion seems to be there. Among them, Master Lu Tianshi must have felt the presence of his subordinates and others. The subordinates who were oppressed by their own Tao Qi could not take a step forward, so they had no choice but to come back and report the situation to the Queen Mother and Her Majesty."
"Is this how a master of a sect behaves?" Ji Qingchen's expression also darkened,
"Is it possible that Longhushan can ride on my head?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, there is no need to worry. When the accident happened to the princess, the Seventh Prince happened to be at the scene, and the Seventh Prince had already taken action and seriously injured the aggressive female Taoist." Shadow Guard said.
Ji Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief,
"But since the seventh brother has taken action, Master Lu Tianshi must not be able to sit still." The Queen Mother nodded, and then said to the shadow guard: "Continue to inquire about the news. If the seventh prince can solve the matter smoothly, let him Enter the palace with the princess to see the Ai family."
"Yes." The shadow guard lowered his head and saluted, and then slowly melted into the ground, turning into a black shadow and leaving quickly.
"Mother, if Master Lu Tian suddenly attacks, my seventh brother is still young, can he handle it?" Ji Qingchen asked worriedly.
"If it were someone else, it would be impossible to think about it. However, Mr. Dongfang's direct disciples, and his senior brothers are all the same people standing on the top of the mountain. I think Qingyuan will be good too." The Queen Mother said quietly, However, he still looked at the north from time to time, as if he wanted to see some clues.
————Chang'an City, Ji De Restaurant. The middle-aged Taoist held a sword in his right hand and held it across his chest. With his left hand, he protected his junior sister who was already a little depressed behind him. He stared at the man in white on the third floor of the restaurant opposite. At the same time, the people around him also looked at the three men. The men on the floor were whispering to each other that they had enjoyed the show and it was getting more and more exciting.
The middle-aged Taoist's face was heavy. Although his junior sister had a perverse personality, in terms of strength and Taoism, she was considered to be outstanding among the younger generation.
But today, the young man seemed to have seriously injured her casually. Even thinking of this, the middle-aged Taoist looked back at the young Taoist priest at the back. The young man still just looked up at the sky, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.
"The poor Taoist is Xu Yuanchun of the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain. My family teacher is the contemporary Tianshi Master Lu Yiran of the Tianshi Mansion. This is my junior sister Lin Xiuying. I don't know your name? Are you some senior expert on the mountain?" The middle-aged Taoist said in a deep voice, secretly hoping that the other party would retreat after hearing the name of Master.
The man in white didn't answer, but a middle-aged man in black walked out from behind.
"It's General Li." Li Ping said softly,
"So that's who..."
"Seventh Prince." Zhang Xiuxiu also breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yi glanced coldly at the four Taoist priests below. As a soldier, he was born with loyalty and respect for His Majesty. Now these outsiders dare to speak rudely to His Majesty. Even if the Seventh Prince is not here, he dared to use his words just now. Draw a knife.
Li Yi said coldly: "You are not polite when you see me, the Seventh Prince of Tianqi?" Li Ping and Zhang Xiuyi were the first to react and quickly knelt down to salute. Although the people around them were full of curiosity about this legendary Seventh Prince, But out of fear of the natural majesty of the royal family, they also fell to their knees.
Including Miss Chu. Chu Nianyi secretly raised her eyes to look at the seventh prince who once only existed in the mouths of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Even the women in the city who came to watch the excitement had only one thought in their minds.
There are such good-looking men in this world! It is like a romantic immortal from the sky. Although it is close in front of you, it makes people feel that it is far away.
At this time, only the four Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain were still standing downstairs, motionless. Xu Yuanchun, who was standing at the front, was already sweating profusely.
Although he held a long sword in his hand, he did not dare to think of drawing a sword when facing the young man.
After practicing Taoism for many years, he had experienced countless life-and-death battles and his intuition told him that if he dared to swing the first sword, the young man would definitely kill him before the master took action.
"If you enter our territory of Tianqi, you are my Tianqi people. If you don't kneel down again, don't blame me for not showing mercy to Longhu Mountain." Li Yi's voice was like a bell.
Xu Yuanchun gritted his teeth and looked behind him at Lin Xiuying, who was already as angry as silk. He could feel that there was an extremely domineering Qi moving around in Lin Xiuying's body at this moment, constantly hitting the meridians everywhere. He tried to get there After expelling this true energy, the true energy poured into his body was not only useless, but also almost backfired on himself by that true energy.
"The poor junior sister is indeed a bit unreasonable, but she has never taken any action against the princess from the beginning to the end. She is only slightly arrogant in her words. The seventh prince's attack is so serious, it is a bit too much. Really Do you think I, Longhu Mountain, is easy to bully?" Xu Yuanchun said angrily.
Ji Qingyuan closed the folding fan in his hand and gently tapped the railing with the fan handle. He looked past Xu Yuanchun. Not far behind him was a tall Taoist priest carrying a sword with an expressionless face.
Next to the Taoist priest who was carrying the sword was the young Taoist priest. The young man had already stopped looking up at the sky. At this time, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was standing there in a daze.
Ji Qingyuan ignored Xu Yuanchun, who was extremely nervous at this time, and focused his attention on the young Taoist priest.
"My direct disciple's life is hanging on by a thread right now, Master Lu Tian doesn't seem worried at all." As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were noisy again.
"Is that young man the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion?"
"Why is he a child? I still think he is an old man who is over fifty years old."
"What do you know? This is the legendary practice of Taoism to a certain extent, and you have reached the state of rejuvenation." Xu Yuanchun's eyes twitched, and he looked back at the young man behind him, feeling a little shocked.
The high priest carrying the sword narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man on the opposite floor.
