[Jian Wang III] Prosperous Tang Dynasty

There were not many people on the cockfighting stage, except for Gao Lishi, there were also a few chicken farmers and a few officials who came to give gifts.

The officials begged for something in a low voice, but Gao Lishi listened dispensably, focusing more on the cockfight.

As an old man around Xuanzong, Gao Lishi has been courted for many years. He doesn't even remember how many gifts he has received over the years, and he doesn't pay attention to the fawning of these small officials.

Hearing a faint noise in his ears, he turned his head sideways, and looked towards the main hall behind with a pair of narrow eyes under the black tall hat.

The straight white stone road extends forward, with graceful dwarf trees on both sides and colorful fallen leaves. The lotus lanterns floating in the water and the hexagonal palace lanterns reflect each other, with many lights and shadows.The main hall is brightly lit, people are scattered, and there are officials and palace people coming and going. Although there is no singing and dancing, they are peaceful.

The eyes moved to the side of the main hall, where the lights were difficult to illuminate, the patrolling guards stepped on the shallow water surface, and there were pink petals floating on the water surface. In the darkness, I don't know how many ghosts and monsters are hiding.

Gao Lishi narrowed his eyes carefully, and turned his eyes back, "The manager has remembered what you said, and it seems that the banquet is about to start at this time, my lords, please go back."

Several officials looked at each other, hesitated, "Then..."

However, Gao Lishi didn't have the patience to continue to greet them. He raised one hand, and the sleeves of his large clothes were raised, forming a thick cloud that covered the sky and covering the sky in a trance, with a dark red under the dark ink color. Fan had to roll aside.

"What? The manager's words don't work?" Gao Lishi spoke softly, with a very gentle ending, and took a step forward calmly.

He only took one step, and that foot seemed to be stepping on their hearts, stepping on the most deadly point, it seemed that as long as he crushed them with a little force, they would be trampled to blood Splash.

"No, no! Manager calm down! I'll go now! Just go!"

The fat-brained officials supported each other to get up, scrambled and ran out of the cockfighting platform, and disappeared into the bright palace lantern at the corner of the corridor under the guidance of the palace lady with a faint smile.

He stood quietly for a while, and the distant sound of treading water gradually approached, followed by the patter of wet shoes stepping on the white stone road.Gao Lishi frowned when he heard that, feeling a little bad.

"An Lushan wolf is ambitious, peeps at the country, and intends to seize power and put the world in his pocket. Presumably, Eunuch Gao is not the kind of person who helps the evildoers?"

Gao Lishi didn't respond to the low and cautious voice, but the chicken farmer beside him was furious, jumped up and rushed forward.

"Presumptuous! How dare the little thief from there frame Mr. An like this!!"

The five assassins who were still wearing Tsing Yi in Liyuan snorted coldly when they heard the words, a cold light flashed in their hands, and pulled out a long silvery white thread, but it stretched to the chicken farmer in the blink of an eye, and the cold light disappeared in an instant.

The momentum of the chicken farmer's rushing forward hadn't stopped, he staggered a few steps before staggering, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Gao Lishi glanced at the corpse on the ground, turned his palms in his sleeves, and a trace of cold air radiated from his palms, freezing the blood together with the corpse.

These chicken farmers were sent by An Lushan. Whether it was a friendly gift or a prying eye is still unknown, so he didn't care about their life or death.

There are too many chicken farmers in his house.

"Being able to get here is considered a bit of skill." He turned around and looked at them, his tone was gentle but indifferent, "The manager also wants to ask for advice, how capable is the person who can sneak here. "

"So, you are offended!"

The five stepped on their feet, raised their weapons and rushed forward.

Gao Lishi took a step back calmly, obviously only took one step back, but it also let the attacks of the five people come to nothing.

He raised his arms again, opened his large sleeves, and made a sound of hunting, just like dark clouds churning in the sky, a ray of paleness like lightning emerged from the dark clouds, and rushed out quickly.

Ding--

There was a crisp sound of metal colliding, the pale and thin fingers curled up slightly, and flicked on the cold light of the sword, it seemed that there were layers of ripples spreading in the void for a moment, the long sword trembled violently, and the whole sword hummed The buzzing buzzing sound makes it almost impossible to hold it!

The owner of that sword was a slender and graceful woman with no stronger wrist than a man. Gao Lishi's flick on the sword made her almost fall off the sword, her tiger's mouth felt numb and painful, and she lost all feeling in her fingers.

Gao Lishi shook his head slightly, his fingers quickly slid across the sword, he stretched forward along the sword, and slapped her away!

"Susu!"

The man with the double thorns let out a low growl, the thorns he sent out suddenly retracted, turned around and ran in the direction where the woman fell.

However, he just took a step, and Gao Lishi's sleeves floated in front of him, covering him like a banner covering the sky, or a black cobweb covering his head, making him unable to move.

Then a huge force came, and he couldn't struggle, resist, or dodge. He was shot flying out and fell heavily to the ground.

A cold snort that was so cold that it was almost contemptuous sounded, it was so soft that people thought it was an illusion, but it was more like a thin thorn, piercing into the flesh and blood.

Gao Lishi's body turned around, and he directly held the short knife chopped by someone. The palm of his hand was cold, and it condensed into ice inch by inch, spreading rapidly upwards!

The man quickly discarded the knife and turned back, avoiding the biting cold, wiped his fingers on his waist, took out another short knife, and picked it diagonally.

Gao Lishi's face remained unchanged, and he waved back the frozen short knife, only to hear a crisp ding sound behind him, the long sword stabbing towards his back was cut in two by the short knife, and fell to the ground with a jingle.

As the number one master in the palace, even Gao Lishi, who lives deep in the harem, is absolutely extraordinary in his skills. He won't lose the slightest bit in fighting one against five with his bare hands, but those five people were forced into a very embarrassing situation by him.

A thin layer of ice was condensed on the scarlet carpet, and the Tsing Yi Assassin, whose shoes and trouser legs were already wet, stepped on the icy carpet, only to feel the cold so cold that his calves were stiff with pain, and he had to spend more time than usual to maintain his agility. With more energy and patience, the combat effectiveness has dropped a lot.

No matter where they were uncomfortable, Gao Lishi still walked among the five of them expressionlessly, his hands were piercingly cold, and the wide sleeves that were supposed to be cumbersome became a help, turning them into banners covering the sky and viciously Fan open.

The movement on the cockfighting platform was not noticed, and the patrolling guards who had been ordered by Gao Lishi to go around far away, could barely see a figure on the platform, but it was completely unclear what happened.

However, within a few exchanges, the weapons of the five people had been seized by Gao Lishi, and they didn't even let go of the spare ones. They could only fight with their hands and legs, and the muffled sounds of muscle collisions could be heard endlessly.

Gao Lishi is more used to fighting with both hands, and this situation is more beneficial to him.

It's obviously hot summer, even summer nights should be cool and pleasant, but the cold wind is howling on the cockfighting stage, the chill is overwhelming, the wind with ice on the body will freeze the bones, and the teeth can't stop Trembling.

Gao Lishi's thin hands were covered with frost, and his fingertips were slightly purple. Suddenly, he lowered his wrist and sent his palm into a person's chest.

This palm looked very gentle and soft. Compared with the attacks he had shown all the time, it was almost powerless. The moment the palm touched his chest, the man arched his whole body, and the bones in his chest clucked. The noise seemed to be shattering, so that he couldn't even utter a cry of pain.

Gao Lishi withdrew his hand, and the man fell powerlessly at his feet.He raised his foot and kicked the person to the side, raised his hand again, bent his five fingers with distinct joints, shaped like eagle claws, clasped and grabbed the person in the void, and the person whose palm was facing was caught by him in the air!

This grab was only for a short moment, the person who attacked Gao Lishi was too old to move, he couldn't take back his hand at all, he could only watch helplessly as his fist slammed on his companion!

Boom! !

With a muffled sound, Gao Lishi threw the person in his hand away and slammed into another person. The two of them fell to the ground together. He suddenly opened his arms, and a more icy cold air spread from his body, rushing around. Go, the thin ice on the carpet thickened rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, the thick ice covered the entire platform, and even the railings were covered with a thick layer of ice!

The five assassins were shocked, and they quickly moved closer together to condense their internal strength, pushing their palms forward to resist the cold.

boom--

There was a muffled sound when the two forces collided, and the ice layer on the ground cracked and shattered, and even the platform seemed to shake for a moment!

Gao Lishi took a few steps back, looked at them, patted his robe, and put one hand behind his back, "Okay, that's it."

The assassin who was still waiting to step forward stopped and stood there looking at him.

Gao Lishi was neither sad nor happy, his long gray hair was blown by the night wind, his face under the crown was well-maintained, but his face was visibly aged, he stood motionless in the shadows, his voice seemed to be from The cold black snake crawling out of the darkness.

"Don't you think that after passing Master Gao's level with me, you can go unimpeded. Hu'er's martial arts are a hundred times stronger than mine, so be careful." He said softly, and threw them a bottle of high-quality wound medicine, looking indifferently. Looking at the lights on the bridge corridor in the distance, the old man's eyes were shining red, "But...he should be bathing in the pool at this moment. If he seizes the opportunity, it will be much easier."

The five stood up with support, and felt much lighter after taking the wound medicine. They picked up their weapons and cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for your righteousness!"

Then they jumped off the cockfighting platform and disappeared into the darkness in a few breaths.

Gao Lishi waved his sleeves, and the ice on the table disappeared without a sound. It seemed that nothing had happened except the dead body of the chicken farmer.

He stepped away from the cockfighting platform and walked along the flat white stone road. On the way, he ordered the patrolling soldiers to dispose of the dead body of the cockfighting platform.

He raised his head, looked at the purple-clothed boy standing under the bright red lantern on the bridge corridor, and smiled slightly, "Is the national teacher satisfied?"

Su Jixian, who was holding a lotus lantern in his hand, laughed softly, with a loose voice and a lazy posture, a piece of sleeve was spread on the railing, and the hand holding the lantern was like white jade with a soft luster, "Director Gao Their skills are extraordinary, which opened the eyes of the national teachers. But those five pawns... Heh, it seems that they have failed."

Gao Lishi stepped forward to take the lotus lantern in his hand, and walked slowly towards the main hall with him. The lantern was held firmly by him, only slightly shaking, and the bright candlelight covered the silver mask on Su Jixian's face. There was a layer of light blood on it.

"Maybe there is something wrong with that Hu'er, and they may not know if they succeeded." Gao Lishi said, shaking his head again, "I don't know what that person thinks, the person he sent must be weak."

"That person" refers to the prefect Yan Zhenqing who planned the assassination.

"Director Gao is the number one expert in the palace, so their tricks naturally cannot catch your eyes." Su Ji Xianxu clenched his fists in front of his lips and coughed a few times, then put his cold hands in his sleeves, " If the barbarians escape this time... Director Gao, only you can guarantee His Majesty's safety."

Apparently Su Jixian didn't think that An Lushan would be killed by this assassination, and his words leaked too much information, so Gao Lishi couldn't help being startled, and wrote down his words, "It's natural. "

The main hall was already in front of him, Gao Lishi stopped in his tracks, and said: "National Teacher, let's take a seat, Your Majesty can't leave there for too long, our family has to go."

"Director Gao, go slowly." Su Jixian nodded slightly and walked into the main hall.

Gao Lishi watched him return to his seat before turning and leaving.
