"Sometimes, old man, I really don't understand what you're thinking."

What Mr. Zhong said was not a reproach, but a concern.

He also didn't want Zhu Xiongying to put himself in danger.

Zhu Xiongying turned around, glanced at the long sword wrapped in rags on the table, but did not answer Zhong Lao's question.

Instead he laughed:

"interesting."

"Are you finally willing to use the real sword?"

Chapter 139 The only place of vitality

Elder Zhong didn't speak.

Instead, he looked at Zhu Xiongying, narrowed his eyes and reminded:

"Be careful, Your Highness."

"Don't get too close to that lake!"

Relying on the scanning system, Zhu Xiongying had already learned that the assassin who was close to him was hiding under the surface of the lake.

Hearing Zhong Lao's warning, Zhu Xiongying quickly took a few steps back.

at this time.

A black shadow sprang out from the lake outside the pavilion, causing splashes as tall as three people!

The man was wearing a black robe and held a long sword. He hit several drops of water with the scabbard in one face, melted the sword energy into the water, and shot over!

Zhong was prepared a long time ago, and slapped the stone table with his right hand.

A plate of beans on the table was shaken by the dark force of this palm, and the beans flew out one after another, knocking away the water droplets with sword energy.

Seeing that he missed the blow, the man in black fell down again and escaped into the water.

Seeing this, He Li, who was guarding outside the pavilion, hastily shouted:

"There are assassins!"

"Hurry up and escort! Protect His Highness's safety!"

a time.

Numerous guards rushed up.

Even Zhu Xiongying was shocked by the number of people.

So there are so many guards hiding around here?

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

There were constant guards with good water skills, and they jumped into the lake without saying a word.

If he can catch the assassin who assassinated His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, it must be a great achievement!

Elder Zhong looked at the lake and said:

"Your Highness, you should leave here as soon as possible."

"Although the man's martial arts skills are mediocre, he is well versed in the way of an assassin... It seems that the masters of the ghost market really came out."

"It's going to be extremely dangerous here."

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said:

"I don't know how many people there are on the other side, and I don't know the strength of the other party... It's better not to act rashly."

"Don't worry about me."

"Mr. Zhong, you can block as many assassins as you can."

"Leave the rest to me."

at this time.

Zhu Xiongying's heart was very calm.

The members of the Song family were told by me not to come, and my grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang was also persuaded to leave.

Everyone present, except for himself, were all guards.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying didn't have to worry about anything at all.

With no scruples, he can safely think about how to deal with this assassination!

Just when more and more guards appeared outside the gazebo.

A guard quietly entered the gazebo.

Seeing that this person acted strangely, He Li hurriedly shouted:

"Who are you?"

"Don't approach His Highness privately without your will!"

Who knows.

The man didn't pay attention to He Li at all, but while approaching Zhu Xiongying, he took out a gleaming dagger from his arms!

"Get out!"

Elder Zhong rushed to Zhu Xiongying's side in an instant, and with a finger of sword energy, he shattered the dagger in the assassin's hand.

Then, hit with a single palm.

The assassin was not flustered, he even dared to hit palms.

Palms meet.

Suddenly a powerful wave of air burst out from the pavilion.

Zhu Xiongying took a few steps back before gaining a firm footing.

Look at the assassin again.

After receiving Zhong Lao's palm, he was not injured. He just exited the gazebo, jumped up, and landed on the tree outside.

"As expected of the Sword Master Zhong Yunluo..."

"I didn't expect the inner strength to be so deep. If I hadn't used all my strength just now, I'm afraid my arm would be useless now."

Elder Zhong looked at the man on the tree outside the pavilion, narrowed his eyes and said:

"People from Ghost City?"

The man on the tree unbuttoned his robe, threw down the guard's robe, and said with a smile:

"It's really inconvenient to wear this clothes..."

"It's still convenient for us!"

at this time.

In front of everyone was an ordinary man dressed as a waiter.

He squatted on the tree trunk, his body was like a monkey, with an incomparably light appearance, he clasped his fists at the elder Zhong in the pavilion and said:

"The killer in Xiagui City ranks second, and people call me Yao Er."

"To see the sword master himself today is really an eye-opener!"

"However, I don't think you can hold on to the life of the eldest grandson of the emperor today... It's better to leave here. Brothers and I will definitely remember the kindness of the sword master, and we will definitely repay you in the future."

Elder Zhong snorted coldly, took a step forward, and said:

"How many of you have come, just come out."

"Why am I so afraid?"

"If you want to take your life from this old man, let's see if you have the ability!"

Just when Zhong Lao and Yao Er were confronting each other.

He Li rushed to the gazebo in person, shielded Zhu Xiongying with his body, and whispered:

"Your Highness, this place is too dangerous... Your life is the most important thing."

"My minister will send someone to report to His Majesty!"

Seeing that there were many guards around, Zhu Xiongying was afraid that someone would sneak out to find Zhu Yuanzhang and lead him back, so he shouted:

"There are so many assassins here, it's extremely dangerous! The Holy One must never be put in danger!"

"Give me an order... whoever dares to report to my grandfather, the rest will immediately execute him!"

As the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiongying's words still have a deterrent effect.

Now, none of the guards present dared to report to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Come to think of it.

Who doesn't know that His Majesty the Emperor loves his eldest grandson very much?

If he went to report it, the emperor would come back desperately to save his grandson.

Then isn't this the person who reported the letter, putting the emperor in danger?

When He Li heard Zhu Xiongying's shout, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Your Highness..."

"My minister has obtained His Majesty's will. If something happens on your side, you must tell him... If you don't tell His Majesty, wouldn't this minister resist the order?"

Zhu Xiongying glanced at him and said:

"Anti-order?"

"Then do you choose to resist the decree, or do you choose to put the Holy Majesty at risk?"

These words can be regarded as blocking He Li's mouth.

Yes, to be a courtier, the most important thing is to be loyal.

If the emperor's decree has the possibility of harming himself, then the courtier must die to persuade him.

He Li understood Zhu Xiongying's meaning, cupped his hands and said:

"Then Your Highness, follow me closely, and I will escort you out!"

Zhu Xiongying closed his eyes and took a look.

On their way back to the city, three golden dots had been ambushed.

Needless to say, it must be an assassin who is ready to ambush him.

He opened his eyes and looked in another direction.

There is Sunset Mountain.

On the mountain, there is Leifeng Pagoda standing in the forest.

And in that direction, there is no golden dot ambushing!

"Go, climb the mountain, and escort me to hide in Leifeng Pagoda."

Zhu Xiongying whispered to He Li.

He Li was a little startled, and quickly persuaded in a low voice:

"Your Highness, no one knows how many assassins there are... If we enter the forest, we are very likely to be besieged!"

"At that time, if the opponent has many masters and forcibly breaks into the Leifeng Pagoda, we will have nowhere to retreat..."

Zhu Xiongying explained unhurriedly:

"On our way back to the city, we have already been ambushed by someone who is ready to ambush us."

"If you go back the way you came, you will definitely encounter accidents."
