Carrying two purple talismans in his arms, the young man happily returned to Woxia Temple.
Brother Qian sent Yu Bainiang to Fengzhou. He was very relieved. Even if there were dangers on the road, with Brother Qian's strength, he could handle it alone without being a fourth-level master.
I was thinking, Monk Hengmiao had to let Concubine Lan go up the mountain. Is there any way to protect her on the mountain?
Normally, he would have taken advantage of the chaos to send Concubine Lan here, and Li Changxian quickly moved her away.
After thinking about it carefully, I have some ideas, but I'm not sure.
Without Yu Bai Niang, we soon arrived at the room prepared for the guests.
The war continues.
Song Wanru's aura reached its peak.
Shen Li, who was still some distance away from her, could detect the iceberg-like edge of the Juexue sword.
The suppressed aura quietly approached the battlefield.
Climb over the wall.
There were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere in this house, as if it had just experienced a massacre.
The smell of fresh blood went straight to his nose, and the injured person who was still murmuring was like a bird caught in a hunter's trap.
Go through several arches.
In a spacious yard.
The two middle-aged men and Song Wanru were fighting non-stop.
Juexue scratched their bodies from time to time and left wounds. This was something that neither of them was easy to deal with, and Song Wanru was seriously injured.
She is not in her prime now. Kaixi City killed Qi Jianquan. Even if she was lucky, it still cost her a lot.
After all, Song Wanru is no more than a martial artist in the Vajra realm.
Shen Li quietly observed the battle situation. When the two men showed their flaws, he killed them with his sword.
Xingxiu Cult trains killers based on timing. The quality of the timing determines whether the mission can be successfully completed.
At that time, at the Wuyidu Inn, Wang Chunfu only had Pang Hu, who was in the fourth-grade Vajra realm, and he had to secretly poison the tea before taking action, hoping to be safe.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Pu who came to support was an undercover agent, but that was a story for another day.
The blood flowed down Song Wanru's arm to the Juexue blade. With her agile movements, blood droplets were scattered in the air, and then were evaporated cleanly by the Qi machine.
Another close fight.
Juexue successfully cut a wound on each of the two men. The two looked at each other and calmly kept a safe distance from Song Wanru.
This woman who is extremely skilled in martial arts is just a cooked duck. She can be surrounded and killed slowly. Why rush and risk her life by being injured?
There are four more corpses on the battlefield, and the scattered weapons are particularly sharp, so they must not be ordinary masters.
Song Wanru gasped for breath and took the time to adjust her energy, waiting for the next fight.
She originally thought that she would be able to kill the masters here alone, but unfortunately she missed the mark. There were two strong men at the peak of the Vajra Realm, which made it particularly difficult.
Without support, you have to pay a big price.
Even so, Song Wanru is still confident. She has Juexue, a famous swordsman on the sword list, and a master among the best in the church. If these two people give her the slightest chance, like Qi Jianquan, she can kill them with one sword.
Breathing heavily.
The wounds on her body constantly reminded her that they were all desperadoes licking blood from their swords.
Exhaling a breath, gathering the breath of a warrior in the Vajra realm, moving his energy, raising his hands, and just about to run forward, he suddenly saw the light of the sword coming, and easily chopped off a person's head.
The swordsmanship continued, and he immediately cut off the other person's arm. The young man drew his sword, turned sideways, and handed the sword very gracefully.
Through the back of the heart.
The two people who surrounded and killed Song Wanru died in an unknown manner, and their attackers were not even seen.
"Good sister, what do you think of these two swords?" Shen Li smiled and held up a sword flower, and returned the sword to the scabbard.
They are all Vajra realm warriors with extraordinary physiques, but they are as brittle as a piece of paper under the sword edge of Withering Beauty.
Turning the two people who had fallen to the ground over, Shen Li said in surprise: "They are actually gluttonous desperadoes."
There is an organization in the world called Taotie, named after an ancient ferocious beast, which specializes in taking in desperadoes who have committed major crimes and are living in the world.
Although Taotie is not as good as the Xingxiu Cult, they are extremely cruel. No matter who is willing to pay, they will complete their employer's instructions.
Among them, there was a rich man in Xishu two years ago. In order to attack his business competitors, he spent a lot of money to find a gluttonous killer. The requirement was that the chickens and dogs killed by his competitors would not be kept.
Subsequently, the gluttonous killer actually killed 19 members of his rival's family, including hundreds of chickens, ducks, and more than 20 cattle and sheep raised at home. He also slaughtered none of them.
This incident shocked Western Shu, and the chief of Jiange Mountain was also alarmed. He personally sent people to find the Taotie killer who committed the crime, and killed him in public in the capital Chengyi.
Song Wanru breathed a long sigh of relief, "Sister Qin ordered you to send Concubine Lan up the mountain. Have you completed the task?"
"No, I encountered a little trouble. Master Hengmiao asked me to report the news, and he took Concubine Lan up the mountain himself."
"What's the matter?"
"Instead of asking what's going on, let's take a look at these two gluttonous companions." The young man looked around, "Aren't they all gluttonous killers?"
Song Wanru frowned and asked, "How do you know they are from the Taotie Organization?"
"It's a long story. I once went to the Northern Sui Dynasty to protect the Yulong Escort Agency and saw them. At that time, I didn't do anything to avoid exposing my identity, but now I will kill them by chance."
Yulong Escort Bureau can only be regarded as a small escort agency. In order to escort a big business that was finally won, it hired people from the Xingxiu Sect to help.
This is simply a good delegation with less work and more money. Qian Cheng made some small moves and left it to Shen Li to complete.
He did a good job, and he and the eldest lady of the Yulon Escort Agency became good half-siblings.
That Nizi is five years older than him. She dresses like a boy every day. In addition to her masculine personality, she is bold and cheerful in her dealings. She looks more like a man than the men in the escort agency.
"When passing through Pu Lingdu, they killed a boatload of people and left in a big way."
Song Wanru said: "It doesn't seem like your style. Based on my understanding of you, I will definitely take action."
"Hey, to be honest, I left late, so I only remembered their faces in a hurry..." Shen Li scratched his head.
She carefully put Juexue into the scabbard and put it away close to her body: "Help me sit down."
Song Wanru was not seriously injured at the moment. The trouble was that her energy was about to bottom out. Unless the young man had Chu Wuchan's Shuimu Buddha Mother, there was nothing he could do.
He carried her to another relatively tidy yard, found a chair, and helped her sit down.
"Are you okay? I'll send you to find Li Changxian? He's not far from here." Even though she knew it was nothing serious, she still had to ask after her. In the future, Song Wanru would press him for not caring about her, and she would spend a lot of time comforting him.
Song Wanru shook her head: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Take a few breaths.
"Tell me, what big thing made you ignore Sister Qin's order?"
Shen Li sighed and recounted everything that happened to Zhu Murong.
"What?! Zhu Murong betrayed Concubine Lan?" She was quite shocked.
"Yes. I can trust Master Hengmiao's Arhat Nianhua." The young man asked in a low voice, "Good sister, do you know the true identity of Master Hengmiao?"
"Isn't he the eminent monk of the Chaolu Realm of Woxia Temple? If he doesn't have another identity?" Song Wanru was confused.
One look at her expression and it was clear that she really didn't know that Master Hengmiao was Lu Cunxing, one of the seven killers.
"Lucun."
"Ah?" Her eyes widened, "No way."
Shen Li nodded seriously: "Master Hengmiao told me some inside information, so I can safely keep Concubine Lan and report to Sister Qin."
After a long time, Song Wanru finally uttered the words incredible.
During this period of time, she did not expect that Concubine Lan's retinue Zhu Murong would rebel. She did not expect that Master Hengmiao, the eminent monk of Woxia Temple, would be one of her own. She thought that the reason why Master Hengmiao was willing to die was because the Xingxiu Sect had bribed him earlier. It turns out that Master Hengmiao is one of our own.
"Yes, why did my good sister start a fight with them?" Shen Li asked.
Song Wanru sighed: "Things are not what we thought."
Take a breath to calm down the qi that suddenly rushes left and right in your body.
"The Crown Prince really wanted to take Concubine Lan away, as did Sun Yuanji and other prime ministers in the Southern Wu Dynasty. There were even ministers from the six tribes who secretly sent masters to join the war. However, they were all plotted by one person."
"King Xun?"
As soon as Shen Lifu asked, he suddenly realized.
Lord Wu!
The Lord Wu who has always been regarded as a weak Lord.
Otherwise, how could a prince like King Xun, who was favored by Lord Wu, dare to go to war to disrupt the Buddha's birthday celebration? Aren't you afraid that one word from Lord Wu will make the aloof Prince Xun the target of verbal and written criticism from the civil servants in the court?
The ancestral training of Nan Wu is clearly there.
Song Wanru glanced at the young man and said, "Yes, it is King Xun."
"Um?"
"King Xun was so bold that he assassinated the prince, kidnapped Concubine Lan, and framed the blame on Woxia Temple."
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what she meant.
Isn't it just to make excuses for Lord Wu?
Liu Taiyuan, Zhao Ruyu and others took advantage of the opportunity of the Eight Heavenly Dragons to sideline Lord Wu. They couldn't expose Lord Wu as a low-level monarch who even killed the prince, right?
As a result, the people's moral support will be lost.
"Good sister, don't forget that Qin Xianqing had a fight with Master Zhu."
"If we don't tell anyone, who would know that Zen Master Zhu has been to Woxia Temple? Even if someone has seen Zen Master Zhu, shouldn't Zen Master Zhu, a Buddhist monk, be allowed to attend the Buddha's birthday event?"
"By the way, many eminent monks from other temples came to the Buddha's birthday celebration. Where are they?"
"I have been hiding away for a long time. This matter is a mess. Anyone who gets involved will have to wash the mud off their bodies for who knows how long."
Suddenly there was a loud noise from the direction of Woxia Temple.
The two looked at each other.
Two halls collapsed one after another.
"Good sister, Qin Xianqing asked me to go back to Woxia Temple to join the battle. I have to go."
"Juexue is here for you, I don't need it."
Shen Li held her hand: "That's enough with the beautiful face. You can keep Juexue. It's almost time to rest. Then go find Li Changxian. Don't join in the battle at Woxia Temple."
Just when Song Wanru was about to refuse, she heard the young man say sincerely: "If you don't listen to the advice and still go, it will distract me. If I make a mistake, my life will be lost."
Then she nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"There's a fast horse outside that I don't know who left behind. You've lost too much energy, so just ride a horse to find Li Changxian..."
"I know, when you go to Woxia Temple to fight with others, you must be very alert. You use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken!"
"I understand, I understand, let's go."
Shen Li turned around, jumped up the wall, took a deep look at Song Wanru who stood up to say goodbye, waved, jumped down, and ran towards Woxia Temple.
She sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.
