The prince worriedly patted Shen Li's body up and down, and said reassuringly: "Fortunately, I was not hurt inside. Brother Xian, go back to your room to rest quickly. Fengxian will send you the healing elixir later."
Shen Li still had the same expression as if he must be blamed for his death. The prince and Tang Fengxian saw this and their molars almost broke.
"Brother, I still have the Turtle Snake Spring Rejuvenation Pill you gave me last time. There is no need to give other healing pills."
"Hey, dear brother, these are all small things. As a brother, I only want you to do well. These elixirs are precious in the world. From now on, you can follow my brother and get as much as you want. I will let you eat them like jelly beans."
After all was said and done, Shen Li bowed before bowing again and again, then bowed out and returned to his room.
The prince and Tang Fengxian looked at each other in silence.
The two sat down.
Tang Fengxian broke the silence and whispered: "Your Highness, this Shen Li is like a dog-skin plaster stuck to our place..."
"I know. Alas, this is my fault. I thought we could win him to our side." The prince regretted.
"Your Highness, there is no need to belittle yourself. Anyone who sees such a young man will want to use him for their own purposes. It can only be said that Zhao Ruyu and the Xingxiu Sect have too strong control over him, and they cannot win his heart in a short period of time."
Then, the prince asked Tang Fengxian to ask someone to find him, where did the old man escape to?
The two of them didn't believe that Shen Li could kill the old man. Even if the old man was seriously injured and fell into a realm, his realm was still higher than that of Shen Li. He was born with a powerful Vajra, Dragon and Elephant body, so he couldn't cross the realm to kill his opponent outrageously, right?
When Tang Fengxian finished his instructions and returned to his side, the prince's face became extremely ugly.
"Your Highness, what happened?"
"I just thought that Shen Li could kill Jiang Huchen in Zuichun Tower. Could it be..."
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. The death of Jiang Huchen was not only caused by Shen Li, but also by Buddhist masters and Liu Taiyuan's followers. This young man alone cannot kill Jiang Huchen."
"What about the Dadu River outside the city?"
Others may not know Shen Li's deeds of killing the great Arhat, but as the Crown Prince of Southern Wu, he knew it well.
"..."
I have to say that during the battle at Kaixi City, this young man who could write poems and lyrics as well as wield a sword and stick was really amazing!
Nowadays, in the world of martial arts, those who are rumored to be talented people are at a disadvantage when compared with them.
"I have a plan! You can keep Shen Li in Woxia Temple without any effort!"
"Tell me, what's the plan?"
"Your Highness, does the Buddhist arhat that Shen Li killed have anything to do with Woxia Temple?"
"You don't know this... The Buddhist school in the Southern Wu Dynasty seems to be divided into several big temples. In fact, the temples are connected with each other. I am among you, and you are among me. Otherwise, why would you regard Buddhism as the same as the Northern Sui Dynasty? A life-long enemy that is difficult to deal with?"
"How about spreading the truth about Shen Li?"
"..."
The prince's eyes lit up. Indeed, Tang Fengxian's plan was operational. In this way, he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and Woxia Temple could eliminate Shen Li.
Think about it for a moment.
Shake his head.
"No, acting like this means a complete break with Zhao Ruyu and others, which is extremely unwise!! Zhao Ruyu, Liu Taiyuan and others have experienced a sharp increase in power since the battle in Kaixi City. We are declaring war with them now. Our advantage is too small. .”
"Your Highness, how could Zhao Ruyu know that it was us?"
"Haha, you underestimate these old foxes too much. Many times there is no clue to the fight in the court, but if you think it was you, then you did it. The rest is tooth for tooth, blood for blood. "
Tang Fengxian was startled.
The prince said tooth for tooth and blood for blood. The implication is that when the prince is endangered, he will push her out to calm the anger of Zhao Ruyu and others.
"Don't forget, there is still the Xingxiu Cult Master who is eyeing him. This person is too strong. Even Zen Master Foyu who is in the capital is at a disadvantage when fighting against him. He watched Zhao Zhiqing become Li Ye's stepping stone, and the Eight Heavenly Dragons were defeated by Zhao Ruyu. Pocket it.”
There are too many major events happening in the capital, among which the most eye-catching one is that Li Ye became the new commander of the Insect Catching Division. No one in the temple wrote a letter to impeach Li Ye for killing Zhao Zhiqing, but Lord Wu ignored him. Reason, the impeachment memorial will not be issued.
"Oh, it's so annoying." The prince stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, "Tell me, there is Shen Li next to me, and we also need to find Concubine Lan. With these two people stuck in our throats, we can't even lift this chess game. !!Zhao Ruyu, Zhao Ruyu!! Is every step that Gu takes is part of your plan?!"
Tang Fengxian explained: "Your Highness, in this case, we can only believe that everything Shen Li said and did is true."
"You're lying to a kid?! After seeing off Huaisi, why are you going to this guest room? Do you want to see Concubine Lan?"
"..."
The prince and Tang Fengxian woke up suddenly.
Yes, what if Shen Li really goes to see Concubine Lan?
Does this mean that Concubine Lan is in the carefully built house in Woxia Temple?
As the saying goes, in the dark under the lamp, the brain is confused. The prince and his entourage came to Woxia Temple and searched the temple secretly. They only spared the guest house of the distinguished guest. Who would be bold enough to place Concubine Lan there? Once he met Concubine Lan, When the distinguished guests saw the appearance, wouldn't it be completely exposed? !
Without waiting for the prince to speak, Tang Fengxian took the lead and said: "I will order all the masters in Woxia Temple to search overnight!!"
"Go quickly, go quickly!! We must move quickly! If it is as we think, they will definitely take advantage of the chaos of the Buddha's birthday event to move Concubine Lan away."
Tang Fengxian hurried out of the door.
at the same time.
Shen Li hid in the darkness and quietly watched her leaving figure.
a little.
Near the Prince's Courtyard, several black figures hurried to Woxia Temple.
The black shadow was not very fast. Shen Li guessed that these people must be wearing the armor of the Longwu Army. In other words, the experts who protect the prince were hidden among the accompanying soldiers.
We have to report the news to Sister Qin and Sister Song quickly.
Otherwise, if the prince rebelled against his army and, as the crown prince of Wu, ordered Woxia Temple to cooperate in besieging Concubine Lan, it would be too late.
At this moment.
Shen Li saw a soldier approaching his room quickly.
Knock on the door.
"Sir? I am here to deliver medicine to you on the orders of the prince."
"Young Master?! Are you asleep, Young Master? I have been ordered by His Highness to bring you healing elixirs."
This person was a sixth-grade soldier who reminded Prince Shen Li of his anger.
Still no door open.
The soldier wearing an iron mask said: "Sir, I've been offended."
Push the door open and go in.
Shen Li was not in the room at all.
The soldier looked around carefully and called the young master a few times, but still no one was there.
The elixir is placed on the table.
Turn around and close the door carefully.
Take a few steps back.
"Since the young master is recovering from his injuries and is unable to speak, I will go back and recover."
This is not to expose Shen Li, but to make amends for him.
The young man hiding in the dark was absolutely sure that this person was one of his own.
When the soldier was about to leave, Shen Li whispered: "Come here and talk."
The soldier was shocked, looked around, ignored him, walked a few more steps, and shouted to one side: "Brother Liu, go back first, my eyelids are always twitching, and then patrol around to avoid accidents due to carelessness." No one can bear the blame for the mistake, His Highness."
"Haha... Okay, you patrol this side, and I'll patrol that side. If anything happens, it won't be our brother's fault."
The soldier pretended to look along the wall.
Thinking that time was almost up, he took three steps and two steps at a time and walked into the darkness where Shen Li was hiding.
There is a small and exquisite rockery in front of him. No wonder the soldier just now didn't notice Shen Li.
"Sir, why are you here?"
"Without further ado, tell me first, who do you belong to?"
The soldier was silent for nearly half a cup of tea before he replied: "Xingxiu Sect. Mr. Zhao sent me to the Longwu Army."
"..."
Even the daring Shen Li could not have expected that the Xingxiu Sect had penetrated to such an extent in Nanwu.
Even the Longwu Army soldiers who the prince considers to be his confidants have Xingxiu Cult killers.
"Is your mission to kill the prince?"
"You can't kill him. The prince's cultivation is at least at the Vajra realm, and he may be a Confucian qigong practitioner. Mr. Zhao said at the beginning that I was just playing casual chess for the future."
"Okay, I'm Shen Li, you know?"
"I know, you were raised by Po Jun."
"Well, the prince may have guessed where Concubine Lan is hiding. Can you inform Song Wanru?"
Xinyue Fox Song Wanru?
The soldier was stunned for a moment. Although there were many questions, he still put aside his confusion and thought about it seriously: "I can't do it. No one can escape from the soldiers arranged by the prince in the yard. If anyone disappears suddenly, they will be traced. In the end, Mr. Zhao’s chess move was exposed at that time, and the source could even be traced back to Mr. Zhao.”
"In this case, can you help me cover up something so I can go back quickly?" Shen Li asked, staring at the soldier's iron face shield.
"no problem."
The young man patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you."
After that, he grabbed the edge of the wall with one hand and climbed over the wall as fast as the blink of an eye.
The soldier regained his composure, held the knife in his bay, and patrolled around in a dignified manner.
After a while, another soldier came here to inspect.
The two met.
"Are there any minor mistakes?"
"No way. We have checked this place eight hundred times. We just need to dig three feet into the ground to see if there are any assassins buried in the soil."
"Hey, Your Highness has been a little strange lately, have you noticed?"
"No. After the fight in the inn, my brother was recovering from his injuries. You saw that the Longwu Army led by the traitor Zhang Run was no weaker than our brothers. I don't know which bastard killed him. I'm lucky that my armor is thick, otherwise I would have been cut into two pieces with one knife."
"I mean, Zhang Run, can he really mobilize part of the Longwu Army?"
The Longwu Army is Lord Wu's private army. No one can transfer it without his will!
The prince came to Woxia Temple to attend the Buddha's birthday celebration on behalf of Lord Wu. It was Lord Wu who ordered some Longwu troops to escort the prince.
"You...are talking nonsense about the Supreme Being. If you don't want to live anymore, don't involve me, my brother!"
"Hey, hey, it's just a joke, look at your reaction!"
"Nothing happens here, go take a look over there."
"Master, is he asleep?"
"Well, he was injured too seriously. When we gave him medicine just now, he was in a daze."
"Oh, don't tell me that your eyelids are twitching. My heart is palpitating to death. It seems that the fight in the inn is just an appetizer. The real crisis will happen in Woxia Temple."
"Have you never heard of the secrets of Woxia Temple? There are so many masters up and down, how dare any thief dare to act so arrogantly here!!"
