At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness, heading straight for Li Ke.
Whoosh!
"Not good, this is a siege crossbow!" Someone in the darkness cried out.
Siege crossbows were powerful enough to pierce through city walls, but now someone was using them to assassinate Li Ke. This was truly insane.
"Damn it, there's an assassin. Quickly protect the lord!”
Seeing that the arrow was about to hit Li Ke, Li Xing's expression changed drastically, and Zhao Qingluan's face paled.
Someone actually tried to assassinate Li Ke when there were so many people. If Li Ke died, the situation would probably change again.
Just when everyone thought that Li Ke was going to die.
A fair hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the incoming crossbow bolt. The crossbow bolt stopped steadily in front of Li Ke.
"This..."
Zhao Qingluan's gaze fell on the owner of the hand and she couldn't help but be dumbstruck. The owner of this hand was actually Li Ke.
What kind of joke was this? This was a siege crossbow that could even shoot through the city walls. It was actually caught by Li Ke with his bare hands. Was this still human?
He did not expect Li Ke, the King of Shu, to have such skills. It was simply unbelievable.
Li Xing reacted and immediately stood in front of Li Ke to protect him. He even arranged for a pair of militiamen to guard Li Ke.
Zhao Qingluan wasn't slow either. She directly ordered Wei Ling to command the Fire Phoenix Battalion to protect Li Ke. At this time, there was actually an assassination attempt. It was simply extremely savage!
"Capture them!”
Li Ke's eyes flashed with a trace of haze. These people actually used this kind of super siege crossbow. This was used to attack the city. It seemed that they had long been prepared.
However, they were careless today. Perhaps they never dreamed that they would have such strength.
Looking into the darkness, he seemed to be able to see through everything. Zhao Qingluan could not help but gulp. This lord was too mysterious.
[Host: Li Ke.]
" Lord Level: Level 1."
"Special effect: The host is invincible in his own territory for ten seconds!”
Seeing this effect, Li Ke could not help but laugh. This Lord System was indeed awesome.
With this effect, why would he be afraid of an assassination?
Although he was invincible for ten seconds, his subordinates were more than enough to take down these people.
It was because of this that he was able to grab the ballista bolt with his hand, and he was not afraid of the siege ballista bolt. Even if it was the Red Cannon, he would have been able to grab it in ten seconds!
Zhao Qingluan looked at Li Ke and suppressed the curiosity in her heart. She looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, making Li Ke unable to help but laugh.
"What's wrong? Are you curious why I'm so powerful?”
Zhao Qingluan's pretty face couldn't help but blush when she heard the main point. She whispered,"The Blue Luan wouldn't dare. I'm just thinking about who tried to assassinate my lord.”
She was only a little handmaiden now, so she had lost face. How could he dare to admit that he was just curious? Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
Li Ke nodded and smiled." That's good. I heard an ancient saint say that when a woman is curious about a man, she has fallen in love with that man. So, don't be curious about me."”
"Who said that?"
Zhao Qingluan turned pale with fright. Was there such an ancient saint? Why had she never heard of him?
Oh no, could it be that I've fallen in love with that person?
That's absolutely impossible. How could I fall in love with someone I've just met? I'm definitely just curious.
Only when he saw Li Ke's strange smile did he realize that he had been teased. His face instantly darkened.
This lord was really too unstable.
"Hahaha!"
After teasing this extraordinary woman, Li Ke suddenly felt much better. It seemed that this was a method to transfer his depression.
At this time, Li Xing also rushed back and brought back a few corpses.
"My lord, please forgive me. These people saw that they had no chance to escape, so they directly chose to bite their tongues and commit suicide!”Li Xing said gloomily.
Biting her tongue to commit suicide?
Li Ke could not help but frown. These people were actually death warriors. It seemed that things were getting more and more interesting. These people seemed to be in the same group as the people who chased him last time.
"Search them carefully for clues. If not, throw them into the valley and feed them to the beasts!”
A cold light flickered in his eyes. It seemed that some people still thought that he was the King of Shu from back then. That would only be courting death.
However, today's assassination also gave him a sense of crisis. It seemed that this journey had to be brought forward.
At this moment, Zhao Qingluan stood out hesitantly.
"Young Master Li, perhaps I have some clues.”
Li Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at Zhao Qingluan and said excitedly,"Tell me quickly. I want to see who the other party is.”
Zhao Qingluan looked at him awkwardly.
Li Ke immediately understood and brought Zhao Qingluan to a secret place. He also asked Li Xing to keep watch around.
"Zhao Qingluan greets His Highness the King of Shu!”
After arriving at the secret place, Zhao Qingluan directly knelt in front of Li Ke and respectfully said.
"You really know my identity. How did you know?" Li Ke said with a normal expression.”
He had seen the strange look in Zhao Qingluan's eyes earlier, and it seemed that she knew something.
