"No matter how loud you scream, no one will come to save you."
A trace of cruelty flashed across Duanmu Xiuying's face, and then she smiled and said: "I don't know the name of the warrior. If I find it, can you give me some advice?"
Li Ye took a sip from the teacup on the table, frowned and asked, "Are you Duanmu Xiuying from Beihai?"
Duanmu Xiuying was very embarrassed and angry. When had the dignified elder of Beihai Dragon Island ever been questioned in this situation? The other person's tone was still condescending.
He also knew that he should not be impulsive at the moment. He felt the danger of the young man opposite him, yawned and said, "I am Duanmu Xiuying. I wonder what your distinguished guest wants from me?"
"Want to scream?" Li Ye said with a smile: "It's no use screaming until your throat is broken today."
Duanmu Xiuying frowned even more, looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Li Ye." Li Ye put down the cup and said softly: "You may not know my name, but what if I tell you that I am the Imperial Master?"
Duanmu Xiuying was shocked and her hands trembled. Li Ye? Why did the majestic Imperial Master of the Five Domains Dynasty suddenly come to Qingzhou City? Why did he appear at the birthday banquet of the master of the Wang family? Why did he appear in the room where he was resting?
Duanmu Xiuying struggled to sit up and said, "Who are you?"
After knowing the identity of the visitor, Duanmu Xiuying knew that this matter would be troublesome today.
Bringing people from North Sea Dragon Island to Gyeongju was originally a very secretive matter. For this reason, they spent a lot of money to buy the city lord of Gyeongju...
He forced himself to calm down, procrastinating while thinking about it in his mind.
"You may not have thought that we would meet in the Wang family courtyard, right?" Li Ye said softly: "In order to hide from others, I had to aggrieve myself."
Invisible? Duanmu Xiuying felt a little relieved, but did not dare to stand up. He took a deep breath and said, "If you are really the Imperial Master, why do you come here today?"
"I want to negotiate a deal with you." Li Ye said lightly.
"What deal?" Duanmu Xiuying asked in a deep voice.
"The deal on Dragon Island in the North Sea." Li Ye said with a smile.
Duanmu Xiuying felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her lips were so dry that she couldn't even smell the alcohol in the room.
At the moment, he only had one thought in his mind. The imperial court knew that the army from the imperial city was coming!
However, he was not a fool after all. He heard some other meanings in Li Ye's words, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand what you said."
"You colluded with the Wang family and committed murder and arson in the city of Gyeongju. You killed a total of 103 members of the Nangong family in Gyeongju. The city lord and the people suffered numerous casualties. You said that if I ask you for Dragon Island in the North Sea as compensation, can you Have you made up your mind?"
Li Ye looked at him and said coldly.
"Stop spouting blood." Duanmu Xiuying sat on the bedside, feeling extremely frightened and shouted sternly, wanting to secretly inform the guards outside.
Li Ye shook his head and said mockingly: "You know whether you are slandering others or not."
"Bring me the evidence. Don't even think about framing me, Beihai. I'm not a good man, and I, Beihai Longdao, are not afraid of death. Be careful not to end badly."
Duanmu Xiuying looked at him and shouted loudly.
"It doesn't matter whether I believe the charges against you or the Wang family. It doesn't matter whether the people in the world believe them or not."
There was a hint of indifference in Li Ye's voice, and he said in a serious voice: "The key is that the emperor believes in your charges, otherwise why would you let me come to Qingzhou City to handle the case."
Duanmu Xiuying's heart beat violently and was knocked down by Li Ye's words.
As long as the Five Regions Dynasty believes in the problem of Qingzhou City, then based on the relationship between the Emperor and the Imperial Master, even if they do not use the laws of the country to rule themselves, there are still many ways to make their lives worse than death.
Duanmu Xiuying was also an elder who went to the royal family of one region with the master of Beihai Dragon Island. Deep in her heart, she could never shake off her admiration and fear for the emperor of the five realms.
Li Ye continued: "No one in this world can save you and the Wang family except me."
Duanmu Xiuying sat back on the bed, her eyes narrowed slightly and moved rapidly.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "Master National Preceptor...what do you want?"
Duanmu Xiuying is the elder of Beihai Dragon Island and a practitioner of the distraction realm. Although Li Ye is Teacher Huang's national teacher, he can see at a glance that the other person's realm is still the Nascent Soul realm.
Therefore, in the initial conversation, Duanmu Xiuying always focused on this point and refused to lose any momentum. However, at this time, she started to call Li Ye the Imperial Master, and her guard began to loosen.
After a long silence, Li Ye asked softly: "I have always had a doubt. Your relationship with the Wang family is not as deep as this, and your relationship with Wang Tianwang is not that good either. Who would order you to come to Qingzhou to kill people and set fire to help the Wang family? Occupied Gyeongju City."
Duanmu Xiuying gritted his teeth and said, "Am I a fool? Sir, what do these things have to do with Beihai Dragon Island? If you have evidence, you can take me back to the dynasty to ask for credit from your Majesty the Emperor."
He was thinking in his mind, you, a Yuanying realm practitioner, dare to take me, a distracted elder?
Duanmu Xiuying said sternly: "Master Imperial Master, today is Wang Tianwang's birthday banquet. If you are kind to me, I can have two drinks at the banquet. When you get the evidence, it won't be too late to come back to me."
Li Ye looked at him quietly and sighed.
Sitting on the bed, Duanmu Xiuying's eyelids twitched.
Li Ye sighed and said: "You are the elder of Long Island in the North Sea. As for the evidence, you killed them all. As for the Wang family, the Nangong family who knew about your relationship with them asked you to silence them. Take a look, I have it in my hand." There’s really no evidence.”
"The emperor is definitely not willing to start a war with Beihai at this time. The cost for the emperor to capture you is too high, and I have no evidence in my hand. Tell me, how can I make you disappear in Qingzhou City?"
Li Ye looked at his fingers and said calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.
Duanmu Xiuying was stunned, and suddenly felt an unusual sense of danger. At the same time, she was also shocked. Why hadn't the followers outside rushed in yet?
Duanmu Xiuying looked at him and raised his voice, and asked: "How can the Imperial Master be willing to let me go and all my subordinates? I promise you that as long as you let me go, we will leave Qingzhou and go back immediately." Go to Beihai."
Duanmu Xiuying was afraid. In this inexplicable situation, he had no choice but to save his life first and then consider other things.
After escaping the current killing calamity, as long as he returned to his own territory, he was no longer afraid of the young national master of the Five Domains Dynasty in front of him. After all, he still had two hundred practitioners under his command.
Two hundred warriors who can fight for the North Sea.
Li Ye looked at him, shook his head, and said with a smile, "But I'm worried about you. What do you think I should do?"
Duanmu Xiuying nodded desperately and said: "I can swear to Qi that as long as the Imperial Master lets me go, we will leave Qingzhou immediately and return to Beihai."
Li Ye stared blankly at the piece of tea floating on the water in the tea cup on the table, wondering how it could not wake up.
He had already taken a sip, after all.
Duanmu Xiuying looked at Li Ye's calm appearance, and her heart sank to the bottom of the water.
Li Ye looked at him and sighed again: "Since you...then I have no choice but to choose the most direct and simple method."
After saying this, Duanmu Xiuying's pupils shrank. He saw a very strange sight. Li Ye in front of him suddenly turned into three people...
The three figures reached out together and stabbed themselves with a long black sword, making it impossible for him to distinguish.
Duanmu Xiuying was extremely panicked and angry, but he was instantly stunned.
Because he couldn't move his whole body, he could only watch this scene...
Seeing the long black sword tearing apart his shirt, "Crack!" pierced his inner armor with a sound.
At the moment before she died, Duanmu Xiuying kept her eyes open, with countless questions and confusions flashing through her heart.
Why did the zhenqi in his body suddenly flow so unsmoothly? Why did his limbs feel numb and soft? Why did the imperial master dare to assassinate him!
Just in an instant, not only was his chest pierced by a sword, but also the soul in the divine sea was pierced by a sword, and his soul was destroyed.
He is the elder of Beihai Dragon Island! He is the native emperor of Gyeongju! He has dead men under him who are in the 200-yuan realm or even in the distraction realm!
If you die unexpectedly, it will shock the world and cause riots in Beihai!
For thousands of years, no official from the Five Domains Dynasty has ever dared to assassinate people from Long Island in the North Sea, because Long Island is a god-like existence in the Five Domains and is not under the jurisdiction of the Five Domains Dynasty.
Therefore, Duanmu Xiuying was still calm and not too scared before. He was sure that Li Ye would not kill him headlessly like this, and he did not dare!
Looking down at the black sword on his chest, there was only a sad smile on his lips.
Li Ye took back the Ruoshui Sword, wiped the blood stains on the sheets, and put back the scabbard.
Looking at Duanmu Xiuying who was covered in blood on the bed, she couldn't help but shake her head.
Even the eldest prince did not dare to openly assassinate the elders of Beihai Longdao, but this time he was killed by water bandits from Xijiang. He had to rush back to Prajna Temple, so there was no time to waste in Qingzhou City.
Li Ye took Duanmu Xiuying's head, wrapped it in a clean black cloth, and swaggered out of the room. Before going out, he didn't forget to chop off the four heads that fell on the ground in the room.
He said that no one of the bandits in Beihai would be left alive.
There were several dead people lying on the ground outside the elegant room. They were the followers Duanmu Xiuying had wanted to call to save her life.
Presumably, these dead people's martial arts were also extremely high, but at this time they were already dead people on the ground.
Looking at the two black-clad guards standing in the shadows, Li Ye threw the head in his hand and said with a smile: "The elders who were killed in Beihai in the Wang family compound were nothing more than that."
"Should we kill the boss of the Wang family as well?" The bodyguard in black knew Li Ye's habit of getting rid of evil deeds and asked, "It's probably too late for him now."
Li Ye thought for a while, shook his head, and said with a smile: "This is Dongfang Ming's family matter, let him handle it."
The bodyguard in black held Duanmu Xiuying's head, glanced down, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and turned around and asked: "Is it going to be carried out as planned?"
Li Ye said with a smile: "Nalan Yu who is guarding outside the mansion will understand that you should act quickly and behead all the Beihai bandits who came to the banquet and take them to the imperial city to receive the reward."
The Wang family garden was quiet, and the sound of drinking and having fun could be heard faintly from the front. The birthday banquet was in full swing.
No one found Duanmu Xiuying, the elder of Beihai, resting in the private room of the Wang family master, and no one would have thought that Lord Duanmu was dead.
About a street away from the Wang Family Courtyard, when I turned a corner, there were two thousand Imperial Guards quietly staying in the shadows on the roadside, without causing any panic to passers-by. After all, they were used to it.
Nalan Yu looked at Li Ye and the two men in black behind him, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it going to be carried out as planned?"
Li Ye looked at them and said quietly: "Follow the plan and don't let a Beihai bandit go!"
After speaking, he added: "Let that fifth young master Dongfang Ming handle the affairs of the Wang family by himself!"
