Chiyang didn't hesitate and immediately climbed up the tree using his hands and feet.
Not to be outdone, Li Jingan quickly climbed up the tree.
As soon as they climbed the tree, the wolves came under the tree and looked up at the two people in the tree greedily.
The alpha wolf howled at Li Jing'an, and in response to his call, the pack of wolves started howling in unison, deafeningly.
Chiyang's scalp felt numb after hearing this. Fortunately, he had no external injuries, otherwise he would be the one "attracting the most attention" at this time.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist, let alone an enemy. It is better to die early and be reborn.
Li Jing'an's face turned pale. Although he had wrapped the wound tightly just now, the cloth loosened after climbing the tree and the wound began to ooze blood again. So he sat on a branch, hooked his feet around the trunk, and wrapped it again. Again.
The wolves howled for a while and then became quiet, but they did not leave. Instead, they squatted down under the tree, seemingly intending to wait.
Although Chiyang was afraid of the wolves, he did not despair. There were trees here. After his internal strength recovered, it would not be a problem to use these big trees to leave here.
Li Jing'an suspected that there was something wrong with the antidote given by Chiyang, but since taking the antidote, the abnormalities in the wound gradually eased, and there were no other problems with his body, so he no longer suspected that the antidote was fake.
He looked at Chiyang from time to time, thinking that something that was supposed to be a sure thing had gone terribly wrong, and he felt regretful for a moment.
It seemed that whenever he faced this woman, he would always be unlucky.
...
Li Zetian was eager to save his son, and under the leadership of Li Jingrui, he went straight to the place where the assassin was suspected to be found.
Genius Li Ze is in his early forties, which is when he is in the prime of life. He has been very skilled in martial arts since he was a child. Although he is almost no longer unfamiliar with martial arts after becoming an emperor, his skills are still there.
After being assassinated at the last Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, he picked up his martial arts skills again. Now he has recovered 60-70% of his skills. Sitting on horseback, he is so powerful that he cannot be underestimated.
The guard responsible for exploring the path came back to report.
"Your Majesty, there are sounds of fighting ten miles ahead, and the dragon may be injured. Your Majesty, please stay!"
Li Zetian said without hesitation: "Keep going!"
He wanted to see what kind of ghost and snake spirit he was that dared to attack the prince in the paddock!
When both Li Jingxing and Li Jingxiao didn't go back, he seemed to suspect that something happened to them, but in fact he even more suspected that Li Jingxing had reached the limit of his tolerance and attacked Li Jingxiao, so he came to look for them in person regardless of the obstruction.
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the prince was such a ruthless person who could not tolerate his siblings!
Seeing Li Zetian's resolute attitude, everyone did not dare to persuade him to avoid offending Long Yan.
Li Jingrui said: "Your Majesty, the road ahead is rugged, I'm afraid we have to abandon our horses and walk."
Li Zetian waved his hand and said, "No problem!"
After saying that, he turned over and jumped off the horse, and headed towards the destination surrounded by everyone.
...
Here, Li Jingxiao and his guards were fighting fiercely with the "killer" he arranged, but he still didn't see Li Jingxing's people coming to assassinate him, and he felt a little anxious.
Gu Qingzhi hid behind a big tree, also feeling upset and angry about Li Jingxing's broken promise.
According to the arrangement, she will stage a drama later on in which she sacrifices her life to save Li Jingxiao, and Li Jingxiao can then propose to Li Zetian to marry her as his concubine.
If Li Jingxing regrets temporarily, both plans will fail at the same time, and their work will be in vain.
Li Jingxing and his guards dressed as secret guards stopped three miles away. The secret guards who inquired about the situation reported that Li Zetian had arrived three miles away from Li Jingxiao from another direction and immediately led the people to kill him.
Li Jingxiao had already given up hope, but Li Jingxing finally couldn't help but take action. He was secretly happy and hinted that the secret guards acting as assassins were preparing to evacuate.
Li Jingxing unsheathed his sword, rushed toward the "seriously injured" Li Jingxiao with murderous intent, and stabbed out with his sword.
Li Jingxiao quickly retreated and approached the place where Gu Qingzhi was hiding.
Just when Gu Qingzhi was about to fly forward to block Li Jingxiao's sword, the tip of the sword in Li Jingxing's hand shifted slightly and unexpectedly stabbed the "killer" beside Li Jingxiao.
After Li Jingxing pierced the chest of the "killer" with an arrow, the prince's guards who were originally fighting with the guards of the fourth prince turned their swords and aimed at the "killers" who had not had time to get away.
Their attack was too sudden, and the "killers" were caught off guard, and two-thirds of them were killed in an instant.
It takes a lot of time, energy and money to train a qualified secret guard, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is worth thousands of dollars.
Li Jingxiao saw that more than 20 of the secret guards he had trained so hard were killed by Li Jingxing's men in the blink of an eye, and he barely managed to hang them up.
Gu Qingzhi was also stunned by the changes in front of him, and was absent-minded for a long time.
Li Jingxing walked up to Li Jingxiao, grabbed Li Jingxiao's arm and sent him to the captain of the guard of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
"Fourth brother, leave quickly! I'll cut off the queen!"
Li Jingxiao couldn't help it anymore and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Li Jingxing dodged sideways and raised his sword to attack the "killer" who was trying to escape again.
Li Zetian was still ten feet away and could not clearly see the situation in front of him, but he heard Li Jingxing's powerful words "Fourth brother, leave quickly! I will break the rear!" clearly.
Some of the imperial guards quickly joined the battle and cooperated with Li Jingxing's men to kill all the last dozen or so "killers".
Li Zetian strode forward and saw Li Jingxiao being weakly supported by the guards, while Li Jingxing stood among the dead bodies on the ground with his sword in hand, his face covered in blood, but his eyes were unusually stern.
Li Zetian's mood instantly became extremely complicated. He was too prejudiced against the second child!
Li Jingxing walked to Li Zetian, knelt down and said, "I failed to protect my fourth brother, which made my father worried. I am guilty!"
Li Zetian suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded calmly: "You did a good job!"
It was he who misjudged his son's intentions.
Li Jingxiao couldn't control the anger in his heart, so he simply closed his eyes and "fainted".
The chief guard shouted: "Your Highness!"
Li Zetian then focused his attention on Li Jingxiao and ordered people to come forward to check on Li Jingxiao's condition. He was relieved after hearing that he just fainted from exhaustion.
Li Jingye looked at the situation in front of him and felt something fishy, but he wisely kept silent.
It doesn't matter what the intrigue is, as long as the second child beats the fourth child.
Li Ze ordered people to check the "killer", but no clues were found.
At that time, the imperial guards planned to leave one or two alive, but unfortunately the "killers" saw that the situation was not going well and committed suicide by swallowing poison.
When Li Zetian was about to give the order to return, Du Qing suddenly walked behind the big tree where Gu Qingzhi was hiding and dragged Gu Qingzhi to him.
"There's another assassin here!"
Gu Qingzhi was afraid that he would be discovered if he made any noise when leaving. He originally planned to wait for Li Zetian to leave with everyone before leaving. Now he had no other choice but to kneel on the ground with his head down and cry out for injustice.
