"The Hanhai Kingdom's diplomatic mission was ambushed at the guest sending pavilion outside the city. There are thieves robbing the princess of the Hanhai Kingdom.”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
How dare they rob the Hanhai Kingdom's diplomatic mission outside Jinling City?
Who was the princess of the Eternal Sea Kingdom? She was the princess of a country and was about to become the emperor's concubine.
Robbing a princess was already a capital offense.
If he destroyed the marriage alliance between the two countries, it would be the same as treason, a great crime that would kill nine generations!
"How audacious."
Xiao Wuji sighed in his heart.
He had thought that he was just here to go through the motions and take credit for himself. Then, he would be able to easily receive the reward.
He did not expect that he would still have to make a move in the end.
Xiao Wuji looked at Xue Hua and Song Limin behind him and said loudly,""The situation is urgent. I'll leave first. The two of you bring your men and hurry over.”
After saying that, Xiao Wuji jumped off his horse and immediately used the Lightning Divine Steps.
With a flash of lightning, Xiao Wuji had already disappeared.
"Milord, you're too fast. We can't catch up.”
Xue Hua and Song Limin sighed in admiration, but they also felt helpless.
They were only First Rated Warriors, and the lightness skill they practiced was not a secret manual, so they could not catch up with Xiao Wuji's speed.
Even if he was galloping, he was still much slower than Xiao Wuji.
Xue Hua and Song Limin pulled on the reins and shouted," Everyone, move forward at full speed. Hurry to the guest pavilion and set off."”
.........
The Guest Sending Pavilion was a pavilion outside Jinling City.
It was built by a prime minister of the Great Zhou Imperial Court more than 60 years ago.
Back then, he had sent off a friend there and even wrote a poem. This story had been passed down to this day.
For the next sixty years, when the officials of the imperial court sent off their friends, they would stop at the "Guest Sending Pavilion".
Some scholars who entered the capital for the examination would pass by the "Guest Sending Pavilion" after failing the roll.
Therefore, this place was loved by many court officials and scholars.
Xiao Wuji rushed to the pavilion with his Lightning Divine Steps and saw a dozen osmanthus trees swaying in the wind.
As the wind blew, the tiny osmanthus petals rustled and fell.
The fragrance of flowers drifted with the wind, refreshing the heart.
However, under the endless fragrance of flowers, it was a bloody battle.
More than a hundred masked men in black were fighting with a group of soldiers. They were the Imperial Army responsible for escorting the Hanhai Kingdom's diplomatic mission.
The Imperial Army was powerful, but that was only on the battlefield.
At this moment, they were unable to form a battle formation in the forest.
The Imperial Army seemed to be a little weak in the face of martial arts experts.
From Xiao Wuji's perspective, most of these 100 black-clothed masked men were First Rated Warriors, and the weakest was a Second Rated Warrior.
There were also several Xiantian experts among them. The strongest was a grandmaster who was fighting fiercely with the general.
The Imperial Army had already suffered many casualties from the bandits 'attacks.
The ten carriages were clustered together, surrounded by the envoy's guards and Imperial Army soldiers.
The carriage at the front was the most luxurious, and the princess of Hanhai Kingdom was sitting inside.
Some of the carriages at the back were the princess 'maids. They would be responsible for taking care of the princess's meals and daily life after she entered the palace.
Some were dowries sent by the Hanhai Kingdom.
The princess was frightened when she heard the killing and screams outside. She curled up in the corner of the carriage, covering her ears and trembling.
The maids in the other carriages were also frightened and screamed.
"Who are you people? How dare they rob the diplomatic mission of the Eternal Sea Kingdom?”
"Destroying the marriage alliance between the two countries is a great crime that will kill nine generations!”
"It's not too late to retreat now. Otherwise, when the imperial court's army arrives, you'll be trampled like grass.”
"No matter who is behind you, you will all be slaughtered by the imperial court!”
A middle-aged general roared loudly. His voice resounded in all directions. Although it was a little hoarse, it sounded righteous and awe-inspiring.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed out with his sword and forced the Grandmaster to retreat.
Xiao Wuji saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged general with a beard and a resolute face. He was wearing armor.
He held a sharp sword in his hand, and his sword technique was as fast as lightning.
With a few swooshes, he killed three to five masked men on the spot.
Looking at his strength, he was already at the grandmaster realm. He must be the commander of the Imperial Army, Cao Peng.
"Hehehehe."
The masked grandmaster leader let out a few cold laughs. His laughter was a little hoarse and deep.
"The emperor has so many concubines, three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two palaces. Can he see all of them?”
"This princess of the Eternal Sea Kingdom is not bad. I have taken a fancy to her and must take her away today.”
"Besides, the emperor has three thousand concubines in his harem. He doesn't lack one.”
"This lord is alone and lonely. This princess of the Eternal Sea Kingdom following this lord is the best place for her.”
"How dare you blaspheme His Majesty the Emperor!”
The commander of the Imperial Army, Cao Peng, bellowed in rage. He suddenly changed his stance, his sword technique becoming even more ruthless.
He flew towards the leader, and the sword light scattered, immediately cutting open the clothes of the black-robed man.
The leader flew back and looked at his chest before letting out a strange laugh." Hehehe, as expected of the commander of the Imperial Army. This Eagle Sword Technique is truly crafty and vicious.”
"It's a pity that you haven't mastered it yet, so you can't unleash the full power of the Eagle Sword Technique.”
The Eagle Sword Technique was created many years ago by a Grand Marshal of the Imperial Army. It was a crafty and vicious technique.
However, it was not easy to cultivate to the highest realm. It required extremely high talent.
Although Cao Peng was already a grandmaster, he had yet to cultivate the Eagle Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm.
"It's more than enough to kill you!" Cao Peng shouted angrily.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Peng charged towards the leader again.
The leader of the group used a pair of fleshy palms to meet the enemy. His entire body was wrapped in black true essence, and his palm power was vigorous. His strength was not much inferior to Cao Peng.
The two of them were evenly matched.
However, the rest of the Imperial Army did not have Cao Peng's strength and were unable to form a battle formation. They were no match for this group of black-clothed masked men and quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Xiao Wuji saw a few masked men in black charge at the carriage after killing the Imperial Army guards.
A masked man jumped onto the carriage and pulled the curtain, letting out a few strange laughs.
" Princess, little beauty, I'm here. Follow me."
A masked man| He smiled and reached out to grab the princess of the Eternal Sea Kingdom.
The princess screamed in fear.
At this critical moment, chi la!
A bolt of lightning suddenly lit up and flashed past the masked man in black.
