Silence, the remaining six men in black on the long street suddenly became quiet.
The bamboo sword in Xiao Hei's hand was not stained with a drop of blood, but the two men in black had fallen heavily to the ground.
Until blood splattered on the street, a group of men in black didn't see clearly how Xiao Hei drew his sword.
In the eyes of the remaining six men in black, time seemed to stop at this moment. It was not until the two companions fell under Xiao Hei's sword that they recovered instantly.
Everything goes too fast!
Because Xiao Hei not only practiced cutting snow with a sword, he also practiced the sword-drawing technique, which was created by Li Xiuyuan and was extremely fast.
How could two men in black be able to resist it?
"Kill him! Don't let this kid go!"
"This is a monster, kill him!"
The remaining six men in black waved their swords and rushed towards Xiao Hei.
But Xiao Hei was worried about whether Qingyu behind him could fight against the four men in black.
So, he no longer cared about fighting the remaining six people, Xiao Hei on the long street jumped up and flew into the air.
But in the eyes of the six shouting men in black, they couldn't even see Xiao Hei's appearance clearly. They could only see a faint streak of high temperature in the air, coming toward them!
Xiao Hei, who was in the air, threw a destructive flame at the six people, twisted his body in the air, and flew away in the opposite direction.
The soul-killing flames have been released, and he no longer cares about the lives of the six guys behind him.
In Xiao Hei's eyes, one of the four men in black at the other end of the long street has fallen.
Qingyu had already grabbed a long knife in her hand at some point. It was the weapon of the man in black.
The remaining three people were fighting for life and death with Qing Yu. Qing Yu held a long knife in her hand and fought with the three men in black. She screamed and flew backwards three feet.
As soon as he landed on the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out. At this time, Qingyu was covered in blood, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
She knew that in today's battle, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape intact.
She didn't even have time to greet Xiao Hei at the other end of the long street. She asked the empress in the palace for help in her heart.
After several confrontations, Qingyu's slender hands were bleeding, and she almost wanted to let go of the long knife in her hand.
Dang, dang, dang, the blood-stained long knife, there will be blood splashing when it is slashed out. It belongs to the man in black and Qingyu himself.
As Fan Fan tried his best, the blood on Biao Yu's body trickled down quietly, and her blue silk skirt was dyed red.
"We want that kid, so we can let you go!"
"Stand back wisely and let us pass!"
The three men in black shouted coldly, with a cold look in their eyes. The assassination of the young monk failed, and they could not communicate with each other when they returned.
No matter how many times they calculated, they never expected that the maid next to the Empress had martial arts skills and could be so ruthless.
Qingyu didn't reply, she was unable to fight anymore.
A breeze blew by, blowing up her long hair. As she fell down, she suddenly saw a ball of flame coming toward her!
"Xiao Hei..."
At the last moment when she fell, Qingyu used the last strength in her life to warn Xiaohei, asking him to leave quickly.
When the three of them saw Qingyu fall, their swords suddenly emerged like flying dragons in the wind. They attacked almost at the same time, trying to take the life of Qingyu who was already lying on the ground.
However, just as the long knives in their hands were slashing out a life-harvesting move, the three of them suddenly felt a high temperature that could burn everything in the wind, coming behind them.
Before the three of them could recover, they were tightly wrapped in a ball of raging heat.
Unlike Qingyu, the three men in black did not see who killed them before they died, but only heard a crow's call in the wind.
Xiao Hei, who flew over, quietly looked at the burning flames in front of him and called softly: "Sister Qingyu."
Not daring to go back to No. 47, Xiao Hei hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield with Qing Yu on his back, and quickly headed towards the palace while no one in the alley witnessed what was happening.
He wanted to ask the Queen, who wanted his life?
He and his brother were just passers-by. Except for the deceased emperor, he had almost no contact with anyone.
He wanted to figure out the reason for this.
…
When Xiao Hei returned to his small courtyard carrying Qingyu covered in blood, the queen who came in a hurry after hearing the news was also frightened.
He didn't say anything, but reached out and squeezed Qingyu's hand. After a while, he asked: "Okay, how did you end up like this?"
Xiao Hei curled his lips: "I wanted to eat apricots and asked Sister Qingyu to accompany me out of the palace. Unexpectedly, I met a dozen men in black on the way..."
The queen was startled, and then she squeezed Xiao Hei's hand and checked him.
After confirming that Xiao Hei was fine, he frowned and asked, "Were those guys killed by Qingyu alone? Where were you hiding at the time?"
In desperation, even the empress could not bring in the imperial doctor at this time, so she had to use the gold wound medicine she usually prepared to apply to Qingyu's wound.
Xiao Hei thought for a while and replied: "Xiao Hei was frightened at the time and hid under the passing tree... Just when Sister Qingyu fell, a black shadow flashed past my eyes..."
Even if he was beaten to death, he didn't dare to admit that he did it. No one saw it anyway, so Xiao Hei simply closed his eyes and told lies.
Fortunately, the two of them were fine, and the Queen didn't think too much in her desperation.
In her opinion, how can a killer who can't even be defeated by Qing Yu be defeated by Xiao Hei?
Xiao Hei thought for a moment, took out a black money bag and handed it to the queen, murmuring: "Xiao Hei was so scared that he picked this up on the street when he was leaving Sister Qingyu on his back..."
From Xiao Hei's point of view, handing over a money bag is already pretty good.
After all, he had just arrived in the imperial city and was very poor.
The queen poured out all the contents of the purse on the table, and sure enough she found no items that could prove her identity.
"Don't leave the palace easily in the future. I can keep you safe in the palace."
The queen held Qingyu in one hand and walked out the door. After thinking about it, she turned back and said, "Did anyone witness this? I said except for the imperial guards outside the palace gate."
Xiao Hei shook his head: "No, we were in an alley and wanted to go to the street."
The Queen nodded: "That's it, just pretend this never happened."
Xiao Hei thought for a while, you didn't ask if Qingyu was seriously injured or if he would die in your hands, you are really a cold-blooded woman.
But thinking about it, it was a good thing that he fed Qingyu to drink the spiritual wine brewed by his brother, but he was afraid that she would have died in the Empress's arms by now.
After returning to the palace and settling down Qingyu, Mrs. Li frowned tightly as she calmed down. Qingyu and Xiaohei just thought of leaving the palace temporarily. Who could know such a thing?
And the assassin followed him all the way into the alley before taking action. Who else could arrange such an elaborate assassination?
"Master Prime Minister!"
After thinking about it, Ms. Li was shocked by her own thoughts.
In the whole world, she couldn't think of anyone else who could respond quickly after Qingyu and Xiaohei left the palace, except the powerful prime minister, who would be so vicious?
The Prime Minister wants to kill Xiao Hei, but what is the purpose? Could it be that it was Xiao Hei who stayed by the late emperor's side at the last moment?
Or does it mean that the Prime Minister has a shady secret?
The late emperor has been buried and the new emperor has ascended the throne. Is it possible that the prime minister is still worried about something and wants to kill Xiao Hei who was by the late emperor's side in the end?
Tossing and turning, Li couldn't sleep all night.
Before Qingyu entered the palace, Xiaohei fed her two sips of spiritual wine on the carriage. After returning to the palace and applying medicine, she woke up the next day.
After waking up, Qingyu screamed: "Xiao Hei! Where are you?"
Not far away, Mrs. Li said quietly: "He is probably still in his dream. You should take care of yourself first."
After speaking, he took a cup of tea and stepped forward to feed Qingyu to drink it slowly. He looked at her and asked: "Have you seen the faces of the killers you met yesterday? Are they the guards in the palace?"
As the empress, Mrs. Li is not afraid of killers from outside the palace, but she is worried that someone has planted a killer for the guards in the palace.
As a result, she and Emperor Wu will be in danger in the future.
Qingyu drank a glass of water and replied calmly: "I was fighting four men in black, and there were eight others in front. I don't know how Xiao Hei survived from those guys."
"Xiao Hei said he didn't see clearly either. It's probably an expert who came and saved your lives."
Li Shi sighed and said quietly: "Remember, when your cultivation is still very weak, don't think about running outside the palace all day long. Those dangers are not what you can face now."
Qingyu sighed and said, "Is Xiao Hei injured? I seemed to see a flame rushing towards me at the end."
"If he is injured, who can carry you back? Speaking of Xiao Hei, this guy is lucky enough to come back alive from the killer's knife."
Li looked at Qingyu and shook her head: "This time, he saved your life."
Qingyu smiled miserably: "I didn't expect that this stupid guy could actually lead me to escape back to the palace."
"Let's leave this matter as it is until I talk to the emperor... Neither of you are allowed to leave the palace these days."
Li waved her hand and said, "You have a good rest for a few days and take good care of yourself. I'll go see that guy Xiao Hei."
After saying that, he ignored the stunned Qingyu and walked out of the hall.
No matter how shrewd the Li family was, she never expected that Emperor Wu would come to Weiyang Palace just after he left the court, and even go directly to the small courtyard where Xiao Hei was.
When he found several maids and eunuchs waiting in the yard, he frowned. "Okay, why did the emperor come to Xiao Hei?"
After waving her hand and dismissing the maid who was greeting her, Mrs. Li walked directly into the living room.
The emperor was seen holding a silk scarf in his hand, frowning tightly, looking at Xiao Hei without saying anything.
Xiao Hei didn't care. He held a handful of melon seeds and ate them while whispering something.
"Why does Your Majesty come to Xiaohei's courtyard when you have time, and why don't you go to my place to sit for a while?"
The puzzled Li stepped forward and looked at the emperor and asked softly, then sat down in front of him, looked at the emperor and his ministers and asked.
Emperor Wu sighed and didn't say anything. He just handed the yellow silk scarf with the square inscription to Mrs. Li.
Li took it in confusion and took a look, then frowned tightly like a martial emperor.
Looking at Xiao Hei, he asked: "Where did this scarf come from? Why haven't you given it to me before?"
There was no signature on the silk scarf, and there was no jade seal or cinnabar seal, but a faded blood stain shocked Li.
Xiao Hei didn't need to say much, she also understood where this thing came from.
I saw only one word written on the blood stain, the word "forbearance".
Xiao Hei looked at Mrs. Li and shook his head, and said seriously: "The late emperor said that this thing can only be taken out after Emperor Wu has settled down..."
After Xiao Hei returned home, he once asked his brother what it meant. It was just the word "tolerance". Could it be that the newly ascended emperor would understand what it meant?
Li Xiuyuan had the same idea as Emperor Ming, asking Xiao Hei to wait for everything to settle down before giving it to the new emperor.
After listening to Xiao Hei's explanation, Mrs. Li finally understood the late emperor's painstaking efforts. She couldn't help but sigh as she thought that the new emperor would not be able to successfully ascend the throne.
He took the emperor's hand and said, "Just do as the late emperor ordered."
Xiao Hei thought for a while, looked at the two of them and said, "My brother Nalan said that my brother liked to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. I think the emperor and queen can also try it."
When Li heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "It is indeed a good idea to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger."
