Stunning beauty

"Queen, Miss Hongzhu from Li Yuan was assassinated." Murong walked quickly to Weiyang Palace and said.

"heard."

Inside the palace, Empress Changsun replied calmly, "I also heard that the people from Yanyu Building succeeded. Moreover, a very strange person appeared in the inner courtyard of the Li family. He came out of the shadows of others."

"It turns out that the queen mother knows."

Murong stepped forward and said in a concentrated voice, "This is too unimaginable, how can a living person emerge from someone else's shadow?"

"Maybe it's some special body technique or blindfold technique."

Empress Changsun speculated, "We don't have much contact with the killer in Yanyu Building, and we don't know much about it. Your father will definitely investigate this matter."

"My daughter is a little worried about the Li family."

Murong said seriously, "Li's parents and daughter had an accident not long ago, and now, Miss Hongzhu has been assassinated again, I'm afraid the Li family won't bear this tone."

"not necessarily."

Empress Changsun thought for a while, then shook her head and replied, "The attitude of the Li family depends on the reaction of the royal family. This is different from what happened to Li Youwei. There is an essential gap between the identities of the two."

Master and servant are not the same after all.

No matter how you say it, Li's parents and daughters also have the identity of the master. If something happens to her, the Li family will definitely retaliate.

However, that red candle girl is just a girl with a special status in the Li family.

In other words, if what happened today was neither a girl nor an adopted daughter, but the legitimate son of the Li family, then the attitude of the Li family would probably only be four words, never to die.

The Li family, after all, is a family of merchants, and it is the nature of merchants to seek profit and sell for a price.

People, to some extent, are also valuable.

"The queen mother means that if the imperial family adopts a gentle policy, the Li family will not react as violently as when the Li family and daughter had an accident?" Murong asked with a surprised expression.

"Ah."

Empress Changsun nodded and responded, "Judging from the strength shown by Yanyu Building, this situation is very likely to happen."

She originally thought that the relationship between the Li family and the royal family would become worse and worse in this wave of tit-for-tat confrontation, even close to tearing each other apart.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the appearance of the Yanyu Building changed the deadlock.

The shock of today's assassination is too strong.

A monster that even practitioners of the five realms could not detect, killed the red candle girl of the Li family in full view. It was so capable that it was simply frightening.

Before the royal family figured out what that monster was, they might take the initiative to ease the relationship with the Li family.

"correct."

Empress Changsun looked at the sky outside, seemed to think of something, and asked, "Why didn't your brother come to pay his respects today?"

"Should go to Taixue Palace." Murong replied.

"Is the night teacher there?"

Empress Changsun frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said, "I've been there too often. When he comes to pay his respects tomorrow, I will have to say something about him."

"Empress, you are also clear about my brother's character. It's useless to persuade him to do what he wants to do." Murong replied with a soft sigh.

"Now is the critical period for him to be crowned prince, and nothing can go wrong."

Empress Changsun said in a deep voice, "If you make your father unhappy at this time, all previous efforts will be in vain."

Today's situation is hard-won, and the great situation cannot be ruined because of these small things.

"If it weren't for the accident that happened in Li Yuan today, it might be the best choice for Li Jiaoxi to persuade him."

Murong said with a complicated expression, "Brother has made it this far, thanks to Li Jiaoxi's great contribution. Brother can still listen to what he says."

"What you said makes sense."

Empress Changsun hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then send someone to deliver a message. Although it is inappropriate to bother him at this time, it's up to you to follow the matter, and the overall situation is the most important thing."

"it is good."

Murong nodded, and replied, "Early tomorrow morning, my daughter will send someone to deliver the message."

Just when the queen and the nine princesses wanted to ask for help with the Li family because of Mu Bai's matter.

Li Yuan, the inner courtyard.

Li Ziye and Fu Tianxi stood facing each other, the wind blew up for a moment, and their bodies moved at the same time.

In the confrontation with swords, the true energy is restrained, and the extreme competition of moves is even more exquisite.

Fu Tianxi, the proud son of the younger generation besides the Four Great Talents, unknowingly, has come to the forefront of the entire younger generation.

A cultivation base close to the late stage of the five realms, even in this era of mutated heaven and earth, seems a bit too fast.

After all, even Sanzang, who is extremely talented and blessed with a halo of soft rice, has only just reached the middle of the five realms so far.

Not to mention, Li, who has not yet entered the fifth realm.

"Tai Chi!"

Under the night, the two exchanged several moves, and the moment the palm strength came close again, Li Ziye stepped forward, relieved the force with the sword, and immediately slapped out with a palm, making a strong counterattack.

Seeing this, Fu Tianxi frowned slightly, turned his body in a strange arc to avoid his attack, and then kicked the person in front of him flying out.

Thirty feet away, Li Ziye stabilized his figure, and his hand holding the sword felt numb for a while.

"What kind of messy moves?"

Fu Tianxi did not continue to attack, frowned slightly, and said, "Your Tai Chi, I know, isn't that palm technique? Why did it become sword technique again, neither fish nor fowl."

"Is it bad?"

Li Ziye smiled awkwardly, and replied, "I thought the degree of completion was pretty good."

"You may be right, have a misunderstanding."

Fu Tianxi said unceremoniously, "If I hadn't shown mercy just now, you wouldn't be as simple as taking a few steps back."

"Then I'll do some research."

Li Ziye replied with an embarrassed expression, "Old Fu, do you have any suggestions?"

"No."

Fu Tianxi shook his head and said, "Few people in the Vermilion Bird Sect use swords. My swordsmanship can only be said to be average, maybe not as good as yours. I have no suggestions, but"

Having said that, Fu Tianxi paused for a moment, and continued, "Swordsmanship has always focused on offense and supplemented by defense. This is the characteristic of swords. Although there is no distinction between martial arts, each has its own strengths. , The palm technique can achieve both offense and defense, and even focus on defense. However, have you ever seen the sword technique used for defense? If you want to defend, what kind of sword should you use? Picking a piece of wood from the ground is easier than using a sword. "

"It seems to make sense."

Li Ziye nodded thoughtfully after hearing the words of the Holy Son in front of him.

The grandson's words are indeed rough and unreasonable.

He has always wanted to integrate Tai Chi into his swordsmanship, but he has forgotten the essence of the sword.

It's a bit stupid to defend with a sword.

It's better to pick up a piece of wood on the ground, which can be used for offense and defense, and can also be used as a brick.

He actually went the wrong way again...

"Also, your sword is not pure enough."

Seeing that the spray had already started, Fu Tianxi stopped hiding and continued, "Compared to Bai Wangyu, your swordsmanship is like a hodgepodge. It seems to be the best of a hundred schools of thought, but in fact, it is a mess. "

"Is it so unbearable?"

Hearing this, Li Ziye couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"I'm already praising you, at least, I'm also praising your swordsmanship looks good."

Fu Tianxi said indifferently, "With your four different martial arts backgrounds, if you go to Nanling to learn from a teacher, people would rather choose martial arts Xiaobai than you."
