Afterwards, there was chaos, with the barbarian army fighting the rebel army, and the rebel army fighting each other. Many bandits and gangs took the opportunity to emerge. In fact, it was only three months, and the entire South seemed to have changed completely.
Kuaiji had experienced many bloody battles, and only since Huang Tianjun had completely established his foothold here did the people have peace.
After all, Li Xiuer was born in the Demon Sect, so she didn't really care about the lives of ordinary people... It could even be said that she never cared at all.
Even so, after several months of war, I was quite touched to see these ordinary people, in this season of bleakness, leisurely carrying small stools, basking in the sun and chatting on the street.
Some of the trees on the street still had their withered yellow leaves firmly hanging on their branches.
The frost of the past few days did not defeat them.
Although I can't hold on for a few days!
In the busy city, many children were running around, and were pulled away from the carriages by their families.
Bang! A window exploded high up on the side, and wood chips and gravel fell with great force.
"There is an assassin!" The warriors around Li Xiuer were all experts, and one of them quickly gave a reminder.
Bang! A huge rock broke through the window and fell down, carrying with it a huge force, hitting the roof of the carriage.
Li Xiuer is also a good fighter, and she broke out through the window at that moment.
With a loud bang, the carriage sank in the middle behind her, and the two horses stood up at the same time, neighing.
The wheels were crushed, and the huge rock crushed the entire carriage, smashing it to the ground, and the carriage broke into pieces... This blow
If it was hit hard, Li Xiuer would probably be turned into meat paste.
Li Xiuer escaped from the car, rolled on the ground, and the next killing move followed.
Her eyes were filled with sword lights. At this moment, it was as if the sunlight had turned into a sky full of stars, pressing down so hard that she could not even open her eyes.
The people nearby wanted to offer support, but were suppressed by the amazing light and could not move.
This also made them extremely shocked... The one who made the move must be a master!
Li Xiu'er was also terrified... The shocking murderous aura seemed to penetrate through her skin and strike her heart.
Bang! A loud bang!
The light in the sky flickered, and the figure was as tall as a mountain.
She was pushed back repeatedly amidst the sound of clanging.
The one who protected her was her newly summoned guard "Hao Zhen".
However, the assassin was too strong. Hao Zhen was pressed so hard that he could not stand steadily. Although his sword flashed continuously, he kept retreating.
Li Xiuer was also forced to retreat in panic. She looked at the sword shadows in the sky and the gradually shrinking knife circle of the young man in front of her. The murderous aura surged towards her like a tidal wave, making her heart sink to the bottom.
She couldn't tell whether this was a deliberately arranged play or she ran into a killing trap set by the other side before the play even started.
The others wanted to rush towards them to support Hao Zhen, but two men in black rushed out from the darkness and blocked all the guards with their own strength.
Bang, blood splattered on Haozhen's body.
The assassin also flew up, twisted his body in the air, and advanced instead of retreating.
This martial art was really weird. The assassin should have been repelled by Hao Zhen's sword, but his body bent and turned, and he bounced back. A beam of sword light pierced Li Xiu'er's heart.
—A little blood splatter.
Li Xiuer had no time to dodge. She was frozen by the astonishing murderous intent and her heart was chilled to the extreme.
With a roar, the young man beside him rushed away with a flash of sword, forcing the assassin to withdraw his attack.
—After a series of brilliant lights, the young man retreated, and warriors from a distance also pounced and attacked the assassin.
"Go!" the assassin shouted.
The other two men in black flew onto the roof together with the assassin, flew for a distance, and landed in the alley, using various obstacles to block the pursuers.
More warriors and soldiers came and searched everywhere.
Li Xiuer covered her heart, gasped for breath, and opened her eyes in horror.
"Hao Zhen" next to her rushed over, put one hand on her back, and injected internal energy into her to protect her heart meridian.
At the same time, on the other side of the street, a group of people were stunned... They were also assassins.
But before they started the assassination, the person they were planning to assassinate was assassinated first.
Seeing a large number of people searching house by house, they had no choice but to leave urgently.
"Who are you?" Someone intercepted them and shouted.
"Get out!" One of them drew his sword and led the team to charge out...
—
Li Xiuer was hurriedly sent back to Meiyuan by the people around her.
Not long after, Li Badao and Man Qing'er rushed over after hearing the news. At this moment, the Rose Garden was filled with soldiers everywhere.
There were maids holding swords guarding outside the boudoir. When they saw them, they blocked their way.
Li Badao shouted: "What?"
But then I heard the weak voice of a young girl from inside: "Let the master in."
The two maids just stepped back, and Li Badao and Man Qing'er walked in. They saw Li Xiu'er wearing a goose yellow top on her chest and only a jacket and trousers on her lower body, sitting cross-legged on the mat.
Behind her, there was a young man sitting with one hand on her back.
Li Badao stepped forward and said, "Xiu'er, how are you?"
Li Xiuer said weakly, "I was stabbed in the heart by a sword. Fortunately, Hao Zhen blocked the assassin in time and forced him to put away his sword. I was only injured on the skin. But the assassin's sword energy was vicious and penetrated my heart meridian. Fortunately, Hao Zhen used the Taoist Qi to help me protect my heart meridian, so I was fine."
"He is healing my wounds right now."
Man Qing'er said softly: "Xiu'er, I also know a little bit about medicine, can you let me take a look?"
Li Xiu'er uttered a soft "hmm". Man Qing'er came up and sat in front of her. She opened her shirt and saw a little blood on the inside of her left breast. Although it was an external injury, it was still shocking.
He took Li Xiu'er's wrist again and sent an invisible aura silently circulating around Li Xiu'er's dantian, but found nothing unusual.
Man Qing'er had originally taken this opportunity to investigate the martial arts that she had been practicing in secret, but now she couldn't help but wonder to herself, "Could it be that I'm mistaken, and she's not a spy from the Evil Lotus Sect?"
He then probed Li Xiuer's heart and was secretly shocked, thinking: "Are the people of Cheng Hufa crazy? I just asked them to test it, how could they really do such a cruel thing?"
She stayed in the house and did not go out, trying her best not to have anything to do with the "assassins" outside, so she still thought that those assassins were on her side.
She turned around, looked at Li Badao, and whispered, "The assassin really wanted to kill Xiu'er. If it weren't for the Taoist Qi that helped her protect her heart meridian in time, even if she was rescued, she would probably be paralyzed. It's more likely that she would have died on the way."
Li Badao looked at the young man behind Li Xiuer and asked, "Are you from the Taoist sect?"
Generally speaking, only Taoist Qi has the effect of healing others.
The young man said, "I was originally a disciple of Qingfu Temple, and I practiced Taoist Qi. When I reached the eighth level, Qingfu Temple was listed as a side sect by Chongxian Sect, so I could not get immortal materials, so I had to switch to practicing external skills."
Li Xiuer said softly, "Fortunately, Hao Zhen was here, otherwise my daughter would have died on the street. That assassin was extremely powerful, and his sword energy was sinister and terrifying. I'm afraid he was from the Demon Sect."
She bit her lip and whispered, "What's even more strange is how the assassin knew my daughter would take that road and waited there in advance? Only those people in the government hall knew that my daughter was going to the Du Mansion. Could it be... Could it be that there are spies from the Demon Sect in the government hall?"
Li Badao frowned and turned to look at Man Qing'er.
Man Qing'er forced a smile, thinking in her heart: "What happened to Guardian Cheng? How could such a big mistake be made? It was clearly agreed that, first, the use of magic skills is not allowed. The Huang Tian army has many external enemies. As long as the magic skills are not used, it will be difficult to explain. Second, our people must rescue her in time. If she is really not from the Evil Lotus Sect, we can take credit for it.
"The sword energy that hit her heart was so vicious, it must be related to the Demon Sect, and the one who saved her was someone close to her. Not only did our sect fail to take credit, but it aroused suspicion."
She had just checked Li Xiuer's heart pulse and knew that the poison in Li Xiuer's heart pulse was definitely there, and it was sheer luck that she survived. There was no way such an internal injury could be faked.
This also made her secretly blame herself in her heart, wondering how could the assassin arranged by Protector Cheng make such a mistake
Chapter 302 Tianxie Sect
The young man said, "Don't worry, Madam and the steward. The young lady's heart ventricle is not damaged. I will spend more time and after one night, I will be able to remove the poisonous energy between the young lady's heart veins. The external injury on the chest is not a big deal."
Li Badao nodded: "You have made great contributions today, Huang Tianjun will definitely not treat you unfairly."
He looked at Li Xiu'er and said, "Daughter, just focus on recovering from your injuries and put aside the things outside for now. I will find those assassins no matter what."
He turned and walked out, and Man Qing'er hurriedly followed.
When they got outside, Man Qing'er said, "Master..."
Li Badao said calmly: "Who do you think is the one who assassinated Xiu'er?"
Man Qing'er said: "If he is really from the Demon Sect, then he is most likely from the Evil Lotus Sect."
Li Badao sneered, "If it was from the Evil Lotus Sect, why didn't Jin Yuhui send any information?"
Man Qing'er said: "This..."
Li Badao snorted, "Xiu'er is my daughter. She has made many contributions to Huang Tianjun's success. Whoever wants to deal with her without telling me is my enemy. Even if you are from the Tianxie Sect, you'd better think clearly about this."
He flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Man Qing'er hurriedly said, "Master, you misunderstood. Those assassins are definitely not our people."
—
Shi Hao placed one hand on Li Xiuer's smooth and delicate back and listened attentively.
He sensed that Li Badao and Man Qing'er were going away. After a while, Little Feicui flew over silently and reported in his ear.
Tianxie Sect? Shi Hao finally figured out who this demon sect that was secretly hostile to Xielian Sect was.
He had heard Sha Lingshan mention the Tianxie Sect before, and knew that this evil sect was secretive and ruthless, acting cruelly and unscrupulously.
Although the Guiji Sect was known as the largest sect in the demon world in the past, it only relied on its large numbers.
Although the Tianxie Sect is not as powerful as the Guiji Sect, it has more powerful fighters. Many people would rather be enemies with the Guiji Sect than avoid the Tianxie Sect.
The Qi in his body quickly circulated through Li Xiuer's meridians, then he picked her up, put her on the couch, and covered her with a blanket: "Thank you for your hard work!"
In the name of helping her "heal", Shi Hao transferred part of his energy into her body to help her suppress the magic internal force that was difficult to hide near her dantian.
Man Qing'er must check it personally, only then will she be sure that Li Xiu'er is really not a "spy" of the Xie Lian Sect.
If Man Qing'er can't be put at ease, the plot against Li Xiu'er will never end.
As long as it is confirmed that Li Xiuer has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, the Tianxie Sect will have no reason to make things difficult for Li Xiuer.
After all, at this time, eliminating Li Xiuer and her people would only make the Huang Tian Army more unstable.
Under the suppression of Shi Hao's vitality, Man Qing'er's internal force quickly circled around Li Xiu'er's dantian, but found nothing... In their understanding, Li Xiu'er should have practiced external skills, which mainly focused on muscles, bones, skin, qi and blood. There was no inner elixir and no magic source.
After discovering that there was no trace of any magic source of cultivation in Li Xiuer's dantian, and not even a bit of magic internal force, Man Qing'er no longer had any reason to doubt Li Xiuer.
But how could she have imagined that the power of this "Hao Zhen" was so mysterious
When it reached Li Xiu'er's heart meridian, Shi Hao's vital energy split into two. One turned into devil energy, rushing through Li Xiu'er's heart meridian, and the other turned into Taoist internal force, doing its best to "expel" the devil energy.
In Man Qing'er's opinion, it was the assassin's feminine evil energy that was in Li Xiu'er's heart veins, trying to attack her ventricles. It was only thanks to the Taoist true energy of this guard that Li Xiu'er was able to barely save her life.
This also made Man Qing'er secretly annoyed... The person who made the move really didn't know how to act.
Li Xiuer was also horrified at this moment. She felt that the "Hao Zhen" sent by the leader of the sect to be by her side was truly unpredictable.
She really didn't expect that Hao Zhen could do this.
Today's incident was also a surprise to her.
First, when she was assassinated, the assassin's terrifying murderous aura made her unable to tell whether it was someone on her side acting or she was really being assassinated.
Even when Haozhen told her not to worry and just let Man Qing'er test her strength, she was still worried.
She simply couldn't imagine how he had the courage to believe that Man Qing'er couldn't see through her true intentions
However, she didn't expect that Hao Zhen's skills were so superb that he easily deceived Man Qing'er by pressing the hand on her back.
At this moment, Li Xiuer was actually only injured a little bit of skin on her left chest. Although it was close to the ventricle, theoretically if it went half an inch deeper, she would definitely die.
Even the so-called heart meridian being eroded by qi is fake.
But she still felt frightened and her whole body seemed to be exhausted.
When Hao Zhen gently held her on the couch and covered her with a quilt, she looked at the young man's back and saw that his figure was as tall and majestic as a mountain, which was actually reassuring.
The young man muttered to himself, "This Man Qing'er is actually from the Tianxie Sect... This news must be sent out as soon as possible!"

Since Li Xiuer was in trouble, Li Badao had to rush to the government office to calm people down.
