"It's actually the military blueprint of this dynasty. What's drawn on the blueprint are all important military locations and the distribution of troops. It's this blueprint, it's this that destroyed my family.”Yan Zihan looked at the blueprint that his father had given him before his death. Zhu Zhi did not hesitate to search for it and sighed alone. He was extremely sad.
Xiang Tiange was an important figure wanted by the Eight Virtuous Kings, but over the years, Xiang Tiange's appearance had changed greatly. Moreover, he had practiced martial arts, so his demeanor and appearance were very different from when he was raided ten years ago. Now that things had come to this, even if Xiang Tiange stood in front of Zhu Zhi, he definitely wouldn't be recognized.
At this moment, Xiang Tiange was sitting in a room with the word " Heaven " in the " Origin Inn " not far from the Eight Sage Prince's Residence.
Xiang Tiange had traveled a long distance to the capital to take Zhu Zhi's head back to Luoyang to pay homage to his father's tombstone. However, Zhu Zhi was one of the Eight Virtuous Kings and had many guards in his residence. If he broke in openly and alarmed the Brocade Guard, it would be difficult for him to escape. Even if he escaped, Xiang Tiange would become a criminal. He would have to be on guard everywhere and be on constant alert, unable to sleep or eat in peace day and night. Wasn't this asking for trouble?
Therefore, Xiang Tiange planned to act secretly late at night, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him. She wanted to end the fight quickly and turn him into ashes before he could recognize his face.
Outside the window, the moon's shadow leaned against the wall. The night breeze blew gently, shattering the curtain of flowers.
Xiang Tiange's heart skipped a beat. She covered her face, raised her sword, and jumped out of the window.
After a while, Yan Zihan jumped onto the courtyard wall of the Jiang Mansion. The courtyard was pitch-black, probably because the servants were all asleep and it was time to make a move. Xiang Tiange used " Swallow Shadow Horizontal Window ", then her toes touched the ground. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. She drifted in front of each room like the wind. In an instant, he moved to the inner hall. Xiang Tiange jumped down and approached Jiang Tianxiao's bedroom. She used her fingers to pierce through the paper window. With a flick of her wrist, three silver needles shot into the room.
There were only three faint sounds and then there was no more sound. Xiang Tiange wasn't at ease, so she lit a wooden branch and gently pushed the door open. Sure enough, there was someone on the bed. Xiang Tiange held her breath and took a closer look. Just as Xiang Tiange had expected, the person in the fire had three needles in his head and his face was tense. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain after being stabbed, but he died immediately before he could even groan. Even if he turned into ashes, Xiang Tiange would definitely recognize that this person was Zhu Zhi, the one who had caused the death of his entire family, caused his fate to change abruptly, and caused him to fall into Jianghu.
Xiang Tiange felt a burst of joy in his heart. He thought that he had already avenged his family, which could be considered as a relief. He couldn't think too much about it now. The most important thing was to leave immediately to prevent the guards from catching wind of this and making trouble. He blew out the fire source, turned around, and fled. Unexpectedly, just as he stepped out of the room, a heavy black object suddenly attacked him from the southeast wall. Xiang Tiange's heart trembled, and she quickly dodged it. Before he could compose himself, several flying needles suddenly shot out from the wall in the northeast corner. It was extremely inconvenient for Ouyang Xie to be in the dark, so he could only rely on his ears to listen to the direction of the sound and jump away. The flying needle swished past his ear and shot into the air behind him. Xie Ouyang was instantly drenched in sweat. If he had been slightly slower just now, the flying needle would have pierced through his head. It was a close call.
The courtyard was pitch-black, and he couldn't even see his own fingers. Xie Ouyang was afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to attack, so he didn't dare to light up the wooden branch easily. He was filled with regret for extinguishing the fire just now.
Xiang Tiange thought to himself," I've already avenged my family. There's no need to get entangled with these people. It's better to leave."”He leaped into Jiang Tianxiao's room. Unexpectedly, there was already someone lying in ambush on the roof. The three hidden weapons bounced off Xiang Tiange's chest and rushed straight towards another expert lying in ambush in the corner of the room. Only to hear a "ah" scream, he had been killed by a hidden weapon.
The move that Xiang Tiange used just now was the Golden Shield Vital Qi from the New Jade Kylin Scripture. It gathered a strong internal force in one place and formed a shield of energy to protect the chest. Unless the opponent's internal energy was extremely profound, it would be extremely difficult for the weapon to penetrate the energy shield.
Xiang Tiange didn't feel gratified at all. She only thought that it was because she didn't know how many masters were lying in ambush in this mansion. She felt as if she was in a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. Presumably, it wouldn't be easy to leave the Jiang Mansion alive today.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew behind them. It was the two people who had jumped onto the roof and attacked Tiange's back.
Xiang Tiange flew up and took out a flint in the air, lighting up the wooden branch again. After the branch lit up, Xie Ouyang landed on the ground. His lightness skill was superb and his attacks were fast. It could be said to be amazing.
Xiang Tiange and the three enemies on her left and right stood in a silent confrontation. With the help of the fire, Xiang Tiange saw that the three enemies were the same as her-their faces were covered. One of them was holding a meteor hammer. It was the black heavy object that had attacked her the first time.
At this time, the person who had shot the flying needle at him suddenly grinned,"Du Ruo, you're finally here." Ten years ago, you were a fish that slipped through the net. Today, you assassinated the Eight Virtuous Kings. Even if you have ten lives, it won't be enough for you to atone for your crime. Now, I'm being merciful. I only want your life.”。
Xiang Tiange didn't know who the " Du Ruo " he was talking about was. She only knew that Du Ruo also had a deep grudge against Zhu Zhi and other evil thieves. Her entire family was also framed by Zhu Zhi, so she might have encountered something similar to her. He had covered his face, so this group of people would think he was Du Ruo.?
While he was flying, the person who released the flying needles had already charged over with his sword. The sword path was clear and his footsteps were light. Clearly, he was not an ordinary person.
Xiang Tiange spun her body and dodged this move. At the same time, she struck out her right palm directly at her opponent's chest. The other party was shocked and withdrew his sword to block. Who would have thought that Xiang Tiange's right palm would suddenly change direction. With a shake of her wrist, she aimed it at the other party's lower abdomen. The speed of the palm wind was so fast that the other party definitely wouldn't be able to dodge it if it was any other time. However, at this moment, Xiang Tiange suddenly felt a gust of wind on her back. At the same time, a sharp sword came straight down from the top of her head. The situation was critical, so he immediately retracted his palm and spun his body to the left to avoid the force. The man with the meteor hammer struck out with his left palm. However, he was afraid that Xie Ouyang would dodge and the meteor hammer would hit his companion, so he did not dare to use the meteor hammer easily. The person who attacked from above with his sword missed, and the roof tiles shattered into pieces.
Xiang Tiange recalled how dangerous it was to be attacked by three people. If it was a one-on-one battle, he should have the upper hand, but the other party relied on their numbers. He forced himself to be wary of every move to prevent others from ambushing him. The three of them had average martial arts skills, so they had to end the battle quickly.
At this moment, his eyes lit up. It was the meteor hammer that had suddenly attacked. When Xiang Tiange heard the sound of the wind being heavy and uneven, it was obvious that the person who struck out with the hammer had average internal strength. He smiled scornfully and didn't dodge. Instead, he struck out with his left palm. With a thud, the meteor hammer was pushed away by the palm wind before it could make contact with his left palm, flying straight into the air. The person who had struck out with the hammer was shocked and was also thrown into the air by the meteor hammer. He fell heavily to the ground, and the meteor hammer fell to the ground, coincidentally hitting his head. Instantly, brain matter splattered everywhere. It was a tragic sight.
The remaining two people let out an " ah " sound. They were extremely frightened and stunned. They really didn't expect Xie Ouyang's internal strength to reach such a superb level. They immediately retreated a few steps, their feet numb, their legs weak, and the weapons in their hands trembling. It was as if he was composing a " surrender march."
Xiang Tiange was delighted to see that the other party had lost their morale. However, Xiang Tiange had just entered Jianghu and was not very calculative. She didn't know how to seize the opportunity to destroy the enemy and lacked confidence in herself. She only said," Both of you are heroes of the martial arts world. Why do you want to be lackeys of the government?" If he were to fight again, he would end up like the two of you!”
The two of them were more than happy to ask for it. They said,"That's good too. Today, I'll let you off for the time being. See you again." With that, he jumped off the roof and fled in a hurry.”
Xiang Tiange's tensed heart instantly relaxed. She held her breath and quickly ran back to the Origin Inn.
After this ordeal, Xiang Tiange couldn't help but feel that the surroundings were filled with danger. If they did not leave this place quickly tomorrow morning, they would be in big trouble if the Embroidered Uniform Guards caught wind of it. Now that he had avenged his family, his whereabouts were hidden. He expected that the enemy would not come looking for him. It was better to sleep through the night and set off at dawn tomorrow.
Lying on the bed, Xiang Tiange's heart was full of doubts. I vaguely remember that it was Lord Du Yingzong of Kaifeng Prefecture who personally handed it to my father. How could the blueprint be in his hands?……Right, Lord Du, Lord Du…They called me " Du Ruo " today. Could it be that Du Ruo is related to Lord Du? The fish that escaped the net that they were talking about, could it be that Du Ruo escaped alone when the Du Residence was raided ten years ago?”
The dark clouds in Xiang Tiange's heart gradually dispersed, and she couldn't help but think,'Then, why would Zhu Zhi do everything possible and rack his brains to get that military blueprint? Could it be that he wanted to rebel? It was impossible. Although Zhu Zhi was the Eight Virtuous Kings, he had no military power in his hands. How could he rebel?”
Thinking back to what happened just now, Xiang Tiange felt a little strange." Zhu Zhi is one of the Eight Virtuous Kings. How could the guards in the mansion be so empty? He was able to assassinate him without any effort. I'm afraid there's a trap." It's just that the person lying on the bed is Zhu Zhi. I definitely won't be mistaken. What kind of logic is this? Could it be that he, Zhu Zhi, has been smart all his life but has been muddle-headed for a while…
