Eighth Crown

Liu Shengzongju quickly assigned positions to everyone.

The entire Tianshou Pavilion is not very big, and with the flexibility of the servants, they can support back and forth at will, and they don't care which position they are in, so everyone accepts his assignment.

"It's an extraordinary period, and it's inconvenient for the princess to stay outside, so it's better to go back to the room as soon as possible." After all the tasks were properly arranged, Yanyu Zongju said to Qingji with an indifferent expression.

"Eh? People still want to have a few more words with the person of destiny!" Qing Ji pouted and couldn't help but speak angrily to show her dissatisfaction.

"After catching the assassins tonight, the princess can communicate with them at will."

Liu Shengzongju was unmoved at all, with a look of oil and salt not entering, and walked towards the direction of the door with Qingji.

"Well then... Destiny, you must protect me well!"

Qing Ji could only agree, and then turned back three steps and followed Liu Sheng Zongju and left the living room, leaving this room to Liu Xia and the others.

"call……"

It wasn't until the two of them left that Fujimaru Rika heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "This old man is really unusual. When I saw him, I almost felt like my heart stopped beating."

Liu Shengzongju was originally an expert in cultivating the mind, and his eyes with sword energy were naturally powerful, but when he glanced at him, Fujimaru Rika had the illusion of sudden cardiac arrest.

This is a look at Yagyu Zongju without murderous intent. If he has murderous intent towards Fujimaru Rika, the murderous look in his eyes may be enough to cut off her will and make her rigid, unable to move, and unable to move. The level of human slaughter.

This is the horror of swordsmen who have reached the realm of [Sword Zen Yiru].

"But, having said that, why is the other party aiming at Kiyohime?"

Liu Xia fell into deep thought, "If you want to destroy this country, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly assassinate the general manager of Matsudaira?"

If the person who sent the notice was really one of the remaining four cavalry heroes, then he would definitely not have a grudge against Qingji, and if he wanted to bring down the general kingdom, in theory, he would choose General Matsudaira. It's best to stick to your goals, right? Thinking from another perspective, Liu Xia would also aim at Matsudaira's chief guard at the first time, instead of killing his dispensable daughter.

"Forget it, whether she dies or not has nothing to do with me, I just need to kill all the heroic swordsmen."

Liu Xia didn't bother much about this issue, and quickly put down her thoughts and waited for the night to come.

…………

Night is coming soon.

The bright moon hangs high in the night, and the cold moonlight shines on the earth, making the whole earth become hazy and ambiguous like a deep fog.

In the castle tower, in order to wait for the arrival of the assassins, all the oil lamps and lanterns were lit, illuminating the entire castle as bright as day.

Dozens of samurai were scattered all over the Tianshou Pavilion, alerting the assassins that might come at any moment, and all of them were in high spirits.

Qing Ji had already returned to her room to sleep, and someone was guarding the door.

Including Liu Xia, Esdes, Yagyu Souju and others, most of the battle power in the Tianshou Pavilion was concentrated in the front yard, while Fujimaru Rika and Musashi were guarding Kiyohime's door.

On their side, even if you don't count Liuyu Zongju, who is actually a villain in the dark, they still have five Servant-level combat power. Of course, it has a huge advantage over a mere Assassin.

Even when the combat power was so excessive that there was no need to send everyone out, Kotaro, Yinshun, and Musashi all stayed in the backyard, guarding in front of Kiyomi's room, only Lucia and Esdes stayed in the front yard, because the two Once the Servants fight, they will bring a huge burden to Fujimaru Rika, so they are guarding at the rear to prevent accidents.

"I see! Someone is coming!"

A samurai standing on the top floor attic suddenly hissed loudly at a certain moment, and issued a warning sound to the people below, making the samurai nervous and alert.

Liu Xia's eyesight was stronger than that of everyone present, and naturally, he also saw the person coming from a distance outside the Tianshou Pavilion at a glance.

That is a woman.

He has a very eye-catching, huge balloon-like chest, wears a purple tight-fitting samurai uniform, wears light armor, has long black hair tied at the ankles, and has a kind smile on his face.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

While smiling as if she was teasing her grandson, she pulled out the shining sword from her waist, and charged towards the gate of the Tianshou Pavilion from the front.

"Yuan Laiguang... actually came."

Liu Xia saw her identity at a glance. It was the female warrior who was severely ravaged by him in the bamboo forest, and the strongest mysterious killer in the Heian era-Yuan Laiguang.

"And he didn't play any tricks at all, and invaded directly from the front... Did you not expect us to be involved in this matter, or is there another trick?"

But no matter what the trick, he went with all his strength.

Ignoring the reactions of the other samurai, and without waiting for Liuyu Zongju's order, Liu Xia raised her footsteps, and under everyone's attention, holding Myojinki, she took the initiative to greet Gen Laiguang.

"Hey...why are there bed bug **** here?"

After seeing Liu Xia's figure, Gen Laiguang's footsteps paused slightly, and then those kind eyes suddenly became cold and disgusting, and the hand holding the sword in his hand became more and more forceful.

"Bugs are really annoying. They will jump out from time to time to pollute other people's eyes and hearts, and disturb others' happy killing time. It is better to run over such bugs!"

"Shoot-"

The moment her voice fell, she immediately took the lead, and the prosperous thunderbolts were released from her body in an instant, condensed on the sword in her hand, causing the thunder and lightning to tremble on the sword.

After she swung down the sword, violent thunder extended from her sword, turned into a crescent-shaped sword energy, and galloped towards Liu Xia.

"Bear!"

Liu Xia didn't hold back at all. With the magic in his body surging, the dazzling flames burned above Mingshenqi, and then he slashed down in the face of the flying thunder sword, making the huge flame wheel appear in mid-air. He came out and collided with Thunder Sword Qi.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the flames and the thunder were violently entangled in the air, and the two released a scorching high temperature together, smashing the surrounding ground, and at the same time causing the air to vibrate faintly.

The majestic shock wave instantly spread out in all directions, causing dust to fly up.
