Outside the capital city gates, Li Xian was riding on a white horse, staring at the high city walls, his thoughts running wild.
In his mind, scattered thoughts appeared.
It had been five years since he was banished to the common people.
In these five years, he had thought of returning to the Imperial Palace every minute.
He didn't want to be rich and powerful. He just wanted to prove that as a member of the Dragon Guardian Clan, he definitely had his own value.
He could also become the pride of the Dragon Guardians.
"Capital, I've finally arrived." Li Xian said meaningfully.”
In these 20 days, Li Xian had experienced countless twists and turns. When he suddenly reached his destination, the stone in his heart was completely lifted.
"It's said that the capital of the Central Plains is the most prosperous city in the world. I wonder what's going on inside. I can't wait."”
"Haha, I'm going to the emperor's kitchen for a feast. Who wants to come with me?"”
With that, the four of them walked into the capital.
The hustle and bustle of the capital city made people forget to leave and dazzled.
The old mischievous child had originally said that he would stay by Li Xian's side and wait for Huang Rong to come to Li Xian so that he could seize the opportunity to capture Huang Rong.
Then, he would go to Peach Blossom Island to find Medicine Master Huang.
However, when he entered the city and saw the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, the old naughty child immediately threw everything to the back of his mind.
They were eating on the streets.
"Little Brother Li Xian, I will look for you later.”
With that, the old naughty boy disappeared at the end of the street.
The corners of Li Xian's mouth curled up. This old brat was really casual and unreliable.
However, this was also good. After being by his side for a long time, Li Xian felt that the old mischievous child was very noisy.
Because it was not yet time to enter the palace to meet the Saint, Li Xian first stayed in an inn in the city.
He would wait for a good opportunity to enter the palace to meet the Emperor.
There was another more important reason.
The procedure to meet the emperor was rather complicated, and the ghost spy had to be informed in advance.
Then, the Buddhist seal would pass the message to the emperor. Only after obtaining the emperor's approval could they enter the palace.
If it was in the past, Li Xian would probably be worried.
However, things were different now. It was as easy as flipping his hand to enter the palace.
However, he didn't want to cause too much of a commotion yet.
At night, Li Xian took advantage of the darkness and arrived at the place where the Dragon Guardians usually contacted each other.
Waiting for him here was a ghost spy.
Li Xian handed the Dragon Protector Clan's token to the spirit spy. After explaining the reason, the two of them left.
At the next corner, a group of men in black jumped onto the inner courtyard of the palace in front of Li Xian.
Moreover, these people were carrying weapons.
It was menacing.
Li Xian shot into the darkness at the corner of the city wall and secretly observed the movements of these guys.
These people were fully armed and masked. What did they want by entering the palace?
Could it be that he wanted to assassinate the emperor?
However, assassinating the emperor with just these few people was simply wishful thinking.
In the Imperial Palace, especially the Emperor's residence, there were three thousand Imperial Guards patrolling day and night.
There was also the Dragon Guardians guarding them all the time. If they wanted to break through these two lines of defense, even the top experts in the martial arts world would have to think twice.
Moreover, there were spies from the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa in the palace.
The Emperor was still of utmost importance to Zhu Bujue. Furthermore, Zhu Bujue was the Emperor's uncle, so how could he sit idly by?
Li Xian said as he followed.
After following for a long time, Li Xian realized that the target of this group of people was not the Emperor.
Instead, he headed straight for a harem.
The people here were all palace maids.
Li Xian thought to himself, these guys, could it be that they have designs on the Empress?
At this moment, a few shadows suddenly appeared in front of the group of black-robed men.
The two groups of people bumped into each other by chance.
"Someone, there's an assassin!"
That group of black-clothed men was really unlucky. Before this operation could begin, their whereabouts had already been exposed.
For a moment, the entire harem was in an uproar.
The people who had just bumped into the group of black-clothed men were the imperial guards who guarded the rear palace.
These imperial guards were the top experts in the martial world.
Without a word, he drew his sword and charged at the group of men in black.
For a time, the light of blades and the shadow of swords were everywhere. Some were dead and some were crippled.
Li Xian snorted and said," The Emperor is still so incompetent. There are actually so many rioters under his own eyes. If word gets out, I'm afraid he will be laughed at by the world."”
The hundreds of imperial guards in the harem immediately rushed over and the assassins surrounded them.
As the saying went, two fists could not fight against four hands. It was easy for so many people to surround and attack more than ten people.
The men in black retreated as they fought. In the end, only the leader was left.
This guy's martial arts were quite strong, and his lightness skill was outstanding, making those imperial guards feel very helpless.
In the end, he escaped from the encirclement.
At this moment, the leading general of the imperial guards said,"Don't pursue a desperate enemy. Leave the rest to the imperial secret agents."”
Three people appeared behind the Imperial Guards.
They were the secret agents of the Dragon Protection Clan, Ling Linggong, Ling Lingxi, and Ling Lingcai.
When Li Xian saw this situation, he smiled and said,""Plot reversal?"
From the looks of it, the movements of this group of black-robed men seemed to have been grasped by the Dragon Guardians.
As for the encirclement just now, it was actually a trap.
Just waiting for the fish to enter the net.
Moreover, the person who had escaped just now had deliberately let him go.
Ling Linggong and the other two quickly flew out and followed the man in black in the dark.
"Interesting," Li Xian said.
They followed him all the way and finally entered the territory of the East Hall.
It turned out that this guy was from the East Chamber.
Li Xian didn't expect that the people of the East Chamber were so ambitious that they dared to send people into the palace at night.
Ling Linggong and the other two continued to follow him. However, the man in black was killed by a mysterious swordsman a few meters into the territory of the East Chamber.
He fell into a pool of blood.
The mysterious swordsman disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Boss, what should we do next?" Lingling Cai asked.”
Ling Linggong frowned, his heart filled with unwillingness.
"I didn't expect the people of the East Chamber to be so ruthless. In order not to be exposed, they actually killed their own people mercilessly. They gave us a dead man without a witness."”
"The East Hall is filled with danger. We can't go in easily.”
"Let's go back and inform the emperor first and let the emperor decide?”
Then, Ling Linggong and the other two turned around and left.
Li Xian shook his head.
He did not expect that after so many years, these three people were still so cowardly.
They didn't dare to go, but Li Xian wasn't afraid.
With that, he flew into the mansion ahead.
