The more he thought about it, the more eager Li You looked at Yaoli. Yaoli not only had the ability to be an assassin, but he also had martial arts, courage, and brains. He was an all-rounded talent!
"I just don't know what kind of standard a divorcee's kung fu is in the Tang Dynasty.”
Thinking of this, Li You asked,""Yaoli, how powerful is your martial arts?”
"This subordinate…"
Yaoli had just opened his mouth when his expression suddenly changed and he shouted,"Who are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yaoli leaped up like a bird and turned into a shadow at an extremely fast speed. With a leap, he reached the beam!
After a few clashing sounds, Yao Li pressed down on the head of a black shadow and smashed it to the ground from the sky. He pulled out his sword and stabbed it at the black shadow's neck like lightning!
The black shadow fell and groaned. He turned pale with fright." Your Highness, please spare me…"
"Stop!"
Li You shouted in time to stop him, and his actions immediately stopped. The sharp tip of the sword was only a line away from the other party's throat!
Feeling the icy cold light, the black shadow immediately broke out in cold sweat. It felt as if he had just walked into the gates of hell.
Li You was also immersed in shock. That action just now was completely a genuine leap over roofs and walls, right?
That speed, that movement, that strength, that height…No Olympic champion could do that!
"This is real martial arts!"
Li You was excited. Then, he looked at the black shadow that was being suppressed. That person was dressed in black and was pressed down by Yao Li, unable to move.
" Please forgive me, Your Highness," Yaoli said in a deep voice." I sensed a flash of aura on the beam just now. I was worried about Your Highness 'safety, so I acted first.”
Li You nodded and said,"It's fine."”
Then, Li You looked at the black shadow and said sternly,"Who are you? What was he doing in the Imperial Residence? Who sent you here?!"
" My name is Chu Cheng. I'm a secret guard sent by His Majesty to protect you," the black shadow Chu Cheng said anxiously." His Highness has carefully selected experts to protect every prince in secret. I'm the secret guard responsible for protecting His Highness the King of Chu!”
"Imperial Father sent them?"
Li You rubbed his nose and pondered. Seeing that Li You did not believe him, Chu Cheng hurriedly said,"There is a token on this subordinate's belt. Your Highness will know at a glance.”
Li You gestured to Yaoli. Yaoli was at his peak condition with both hands. He could suppress Chu Cheng with one hand and reach for the token with the other.
After taking out the token, Li You took it and looked at it. It was the token of an internal guard. It was extremely exquisite. In this era, it was basically impossible for folk technology to create it. Only the imperial palace had the ability to create it.
"It's indeed a genuine token. Let him go.”
Li You said. Yao Li stood up. Chu Cheng coughed and got up. He even looked at Yao Li with lingering fear.
Li You recalled that in history, Li Shimin loved all his sons very much. It was indeed possible for him to send secret guards to protect them.
Even Li You, who was originally a good-for-nothing, was treated differently. After Li Shimin wrote the letter of death, he also shed tears on the spot. It was obvious that even if Li You rebelled, Li Shimin still had true feelings for him.
While Li You was thinking, Chu Cheng had already explained.
"Your subordinate noticed that someone had suddenly appeared in front of Your Highness, but I didn't know where it came from. I was so shocked that my breathing became unstable and was discovered by this…master.”
Unknowingly, Chu Cheng had already addressed him respectfully. Li You said,""If that's the case, then there's nothing else. I still have something to discuss. You can go out first.”
"But…I still have a mission to protect His Highness." Chu Cheng looked troubled.”
Li You smiled." You were defeated in two or three moves just now. It seems that the expert chosen by Father is not very good. Even if someone really comes to assassinate you, you might not be able to help."”
Chu Cheng felt a sense of injustice in his heart. Only he knew that the secret guards who specialized in protecting the prince were undoubtedly experts among experts!
Unlike those mediocre or third-rate trash in Jianghu, Chu Cheng was confident that he was a first-rate master and was not inferior to any famous swordsman. When he walked among the various sects, he would be respected and given preferential treatment.
However, when Chu Cheng looked at Li, his face was immediately filled with shame.
"Your Highness is right. This subordinate has nothing to refute. With this master by my side, he is indeed much more useful than this subordinate.”
Chu Cheng retreated dejectedly, digesting the shock in his heart. Who was that unknown master who could almost kill him in a few moves?!
No, he might not even be called a master, but a grandmaster!
"Could it be that he's already a super expert and has reached the grandmaster level of martial arts that can establish a sect?”Chu Cheng thought in horror, Where did Your Highness find such an expert?”
Looking at Chu Cheng's departing back, Yaoli said,""Your Highness is going too far. This Chu Cheng's martial arts are not bad.”
"Not bad?"
Li You blinked his eyes. Just now, he was about to leave with a clean and neat set of beatings. If Li You hadn't shouted quickly, Chu Cheng's blood would have almost splattered three feet.
Looking at Li You's puzzled face, Yaoli didn't know how to explain.
He hesitated for a moment and chose to be more straightforward."The reason why he looked so weak just now was not because he was too weak, but because I was too strong.”
Li You was speechless.
He looked at Yaoli in surprise. He didn't expect that one of the Four Great Assassins was quite coquettish.
How could he boast so shamelessly?
Yaoli seemed to have guessed what Li You was thinking, but she didn't feel ashamed. She said bluntly,"I dare not lie to Your Highness. What I said is the truth. As a martial artist, if he didn't have confidence in his own martial arts, how could he become stronger?”
Yao Li had his pride as a top-tier master, so he didn't think it was an exaggeration.
Only then did Li You pay attention to it. It seemed that…Yaoli's martial arts were not ordinary in the Tang Dynasty!
Right at this moment, Yaoli's expression suddenly froze."Your Highness, someone is coming! Moreover, there are two experts accompanying him!"
Just as Yaoli finished speaking, a figure appeared in the Chu royal residence. It was the Crown Prince, Li Chengqian!
