It was still raining, but the eaves could not keep the two of them out for a long time, and the assassin would still come after all.
This heavy rain gave the Assassins a good chance to move, because relatively few people went out on rainy days, and the Assassins had time to do various ambushes and active attacks. Of course, there are also disadvantages in rainy days. For most masters who are good at using poison, this kind of day is not suitable for them to release poison. Whether it's the dense water vapor or the erratic wind, it will make the poison extremely difficult to control.
Li De walked on the street with Xiang Zhehua, as if walking in a dream isolated from the world.
There is no such thing as heroic, heroic, courageous and gentle heart here, but there is never a shortage of swords, swords, and murder.
The assassin of Yutaishan seemed determined to see where Lide's limit was, and Lide also wanted to know how many people would be considered painful for Yutaishan. The two sides hit it off. After the fight, the opponent seemed to have some experience, and began to attack Zhehua frequently, which involved Lide's energy.
In the past two years, although Lide's realm has been raised to the Nine Great Perfections, his strength has continued to grow. I got the Black Flame Armor that was handy at the time of Wangdu, made up for the lack of sword energy at the time of the demons, and added the little ghost and Klenas's law of manipulating the soul in the secret place of the sea. Now he is only one line away from the tenth level, not because of any shackles, but like Lord Lingwu, he voluntarily gave up stepping over that hurdle.
But purely in terms of strength, he is indeed no longer the city lord of Yuxi City who was stabbed all over his body by Yama of the Ten Temples when he protected Hilo with one hand. Now, even if he is protecting Xiang Zhehua, he can avoid those fatal injuries as much as possible, and at the same time kill most of the assassins with one blow.
In the heavy rain, Lide said to Zhehua:
"Your mission has only just begun. I will take you to the clothing store first and change your outfit; then we will act separately, and I will be responsible for attracting the attention of the assassins. You go to meet Xiang Tiange."
Xiang Zhehua was not overly surprised this time, but replied seriously:
"Xiang Tiange won't believe me, and he probably won't believe anyone at this time."
Lid washed the blood off his hands in the water, turned around and said:
"So you need to make him believe in you. You don't have to believe everything, but you also need to dispel his doubts to a certain extent."
Xiang Zhehua thought for a while, and asked tentatively:
"You want me to act as an undercover agent hiding by your side, selling your information in exchange for Xiang Tiange's trust?"
Lide smiled and patted her on the shoulder:
"The idea is right, but this alone cannot dispel Xiang Tiange's worries. Remember, the most important point is that you have to tell Xiang Tiange that everything you do is arranged by your grandfather, including Xiang Linglong's It was you who encouraged me to die. If he asks why you killed Xiang Linglong, you should ask him 'what do you think'; You know, he doesn't have enough authority."
Xiang Zhehua nodded and continued to ask:
"So, what's the purpose? Why am I by your side?"
Lied replied calmly:
"Marriage. Your grandfather hopes to marry you to me, and radiate the influence of Nanchu to Yunyang in the west, so as to inquire about and restrain the movement of Yunhai. If it goes well, of course, I also hope that I can become one of your skirts." Minister, let Nan Chu indirectly control the situation in Yunyang. After all, I am a lord from a remote village, and most of the girls around me are from grass roots. Press them down, this can't take me down firmly."
Xiang Zhehua blushed, but Lide continued:
"So your grandfather doesn't want me to die in private. He not only wants to make Nan Chushao an enemy, but also wants to give himself an extra bargaining chip."
Said to Zhehua quietly:
"And I was forced to leave because I couldn't handle you?"
Lide casually pressed the two rushing assassins head to head, and after killing them, he turned to Zhehua and said:
"No, the reason for your departure is very simple, that is, Yutai Mountain has included you in the assassination list. You think that I am at the end of my strength and don't want to die with me, so I terminated my undercover career early. As long as you reveal some of the main combat faction He shouldn't be too suspicious of you with the information of secretly joining forces with the Lord Peace faction."
Xiang Zhehua looked at the assassin who fell on the ground, and said to Lide:
"I see. So when I see Xiang Tiange, what do you want me to tell him?"
Lide pointed to himself, and said to Zhehua:
"Tell him that I'm coming to kill him. My goal is to have the city lords of Jinxiu City come and kill one by one, until all the city lords on the other side who are capable but have not expressed their position are all dead, and the truth of the bloody coat case will naturally surface. Xiang Tiange is bound to strengthen the defense of the City Lord's Mansion, but the power he can mobilize in Jinxiu City is limited, and the strengthening of the defense of the City Lord's Mansion means that Jiang Yuesheng's defense is weakened."
Xiang Zhehua agreed, and then began to think carefully about her specific words at that time.
She felt that she still had a talent for acting. After all, during the period when she was forced to marry, she played the type of person she hated many times.
After killing all the assassins trailing behind him, Lide entered a tailor shop. Because of the heavy rain, there was no one in the tailor shop, only an old man with a bamboo stick and straw sandals was talking to the tailor:
"Cheaper, twenty coppers a foot of cloth. I can't see clearly on rainy days. My two stupid apprentices' clothes were scratched by branches. I really only have this little money on me. I don't have any more money..."
The tailor waved his hand impatiently, and said:
"If you don't have it, get out and go out and inquire. Twenty-four copper coins per foot of cloth is already the lowest price we have here! Still bargaining here, can I still do business?"
The old man coughed twice, seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice:
"Well, how about credit, credit... When I revive the master's reputation, I will definitely make up for this little money. No, double it."
The tailor ignored him, turned to Li De and Xiang Zhehua, and asked:
"Two guest officers, what do you want? We have all kinds of cloth here!"
Lied threw the cloth bag containing all the cash on the counter, and the money trembled and made a clattering sound.
Lied smiled and said:
"Come and put on your most expensive clothes, and put them on for this girl. If it doesn't fit, just pull a piece of expensive cloth, and I'll do it on the spot."
Lide glanced at the old man with his head down, and said to the shopkeeper:
"In addition, those who come here to buy things today should all be charged to us. The only requirement is that we should not tell outsiders about our visit here."
The tailor opened the cloth bag, and what he saw was a pile of yellow gold coins, and the smile on his face instantly brightened. He glanced at the old man with bamboo stick and straw shoes, snorted, and said:
"You're lucky. Whatever cloth you fancy, go and pull it yourself!"
After finishing speaking, the tailor collected the money calmly, looked at Xiang Zhehua's figure, and went to the warehouse to pick out clothes.
The old man looked at Li De, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long time, he thanked him in a low voice, lowered his head and pulled a few feet of cloth from the cheapest pile of white cloth, and left the cloth shop with a cane.
