Even in the garden there are many shrubs and flowers that lose their leaves in autumn.
A maid was slowly sweeping the floor with a broom.
Lu Sheng didn't go far, but just returned to his room.
He didn't go to Moon King's bedroom, nor did he rush to pack his things. I just found a chair and sat down, lying on my back, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard outside.
After waiting for a while, suddenly there was a faint scream from outside the garden.
Lu Sheng didn't move, he was still lying on the chair, he also heard the screams of the guards outside.
But he believed that Xiaorong would not let him down.
Soon, dense footsteps approached from outside the garden, but when they were about to approach the garden gate, all the footsteps suddenly disappeared.
Everything returned to calm.
The maids sweeping the floor looked calm. As the maids of the palace, they are naturally not of ordinary quality, and they have experienced many assassination attacks.
Although there are not many assassins who can directly break through to this position, it is not impossible. So she can still maintain her demeanor.
The maid quietly glanced at Lu Sheng out of the corner of her eye, seeing that his face was calm and there was no sign of panic, she also settled down and continued to sweep the floor.
Not long after, another group of hurried footsteps came from a distance.
The surrounding guards seemed to have disappeared, and there was no sound at all. But when the sound of footsteps approached this small garden, it suddenly seemed to disappear, completely missing.
After a long time, there was no third wave of assassins approaching.
The corner of Lu Sheng's mouth curved slightly.
"Are you afraid?" He thought he was such a powerful expert, but he didn't expect to be so capable.
Yue Mo waited for a while, but there was no sound coming out, and then Lu Sheng got up slowly, stretched himself, turned and walked towards the study.
creak.
The door was pushed open, and Yue Wang was holding a clamp in one hand, holding the centipede on his chest, and slowly pulling it out.
"Why are you back!?" He heard the voice, looked up and saw Lu Sheng coming in, his expression changed immediately.
"I suddenly felt that there was no need to leave again." Lu Sheng smiled.
Moon King narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, I felt that I couldn't see through my only son.
"Just now, a few waves of assassins came, but they were all repelled by the guards of the palace. They are all fine now." Lu Sheng comforted, "Father, you just need to take care of your wounds. Speaking of which, this time, my son went to the mountain to practice Taoism. I have read some miscellaneous books, and it is recorded in the book that the centipede on your body can be removed by the method of getting rid of the black scorpion."
"Black scorpion method? How do you say it?" Yue Wang felt that his son was not simple at this time. Before cultivating the Tao, maybe I really encountered an expert to teach me.
"It is to use the three-in-one flower, the bark tree root, and the head of the nine-colored toad, and mix them together to make a paste to lure the centipede away, and then kill the centipede to heal the wound on the body." Lu Sheng explained carefully.
When he was managing Qinghe Dao, he had indeed read the information in this regard.
"... Let me try it." Moon King said in a deep voice.
"Then, my son is resigning." Lu Sheng slowly exited the study.
Moon King watched him leave and closed the door. I couldn't help but think of my friend Jiang Rong, governor of the seven provinces.
Jiang Rong, who made friends with him through chess, has an extraordinary temperament, and often has extremely accurate comments on current events.
Moreover, his experience seems to be extremely rich and mysterious. Occasionally, during the gossip, the Moon King has heard some strange and miraculous things from him.
There is also the always mysterious Prince Qing's Mansion. Before he went out this time, he heard that Prince Qing sighed on a sunny day, that the heavy rain was coming, and the wind and thunder gathered together.
He had met Qing Wang, a very mysterious and calm middle-aged man.
That kind of temperament is somewhat similar to that of the only son Huang Jing at this time.
Prince Qing's Palace is the most mysterious and unpredictable place in the entire dynasty. It is like a huge whirlpool, with countless tentacles continuously extending outward.
No one has really entered Prince Qing's Mansion, and no one has seen the family members of the Palace other than King Kaiqing. Occasionally, there are guards and attendants who come in and out of the palace, all of them are taciturn and will never say a word to the outside world.
In the court hall, King Qing always smiled calmly, remained silent, and acted as the background board. Often people can directly ignore his existence.
However, whenever any force wanted to attack Prince Qing's Mansion, which occupies a rich and prosperous province, the person in charge of this force would always disappear inexplicably.
One time, two times, three times, four times, if the number is too many, everyone will be afraid.
It is said that even many of the blood guards sent by the emperor were folded in Prince Qing's mansion.
So in the court, even the emperor was polite to King Qing.
Moon King's thoughts came to this point, and he let out a long sigh, a little helpless, but also a little hopeful.
If his family had the background strength of King Qing, perhaps the current situation would not have happened.
After thinking for a while, he quickly got up and rang the bell, and called the maid, ready to try the method his son said.
After Lu Sheng left the study, he called the maid and went to call the head of the bodyguard, An Tenghui.
An Tenghui has worked diligently and diligently in Yuewang Mansion for decades.
You know it's infantry versus cavalry!
Now An Tenghui has served as the chief guard of the palace for more than ten years. His own family members and grandsons are all on duty in the palace, which can be said to be absolutely loyal.
Soon, Lu Sheng saw the tall, white-haired An Tenghui in the small gazebo in the garden.
"This subordinate has seen the prince, but I don't know what orders the prince has?" An Tenghui knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Uncle An, you are being polite. I wonder if you heard the screams from outside just now?" Lu Sheng looked at An Tenghui carefully.
This person has a calm complexion, a Chinese character face, and his facial features seem to have always been solemn, unsmiling. He is obviously over eighty years old, but his body is still extremely strong and tall.
"Your Majesty, could it be that there was an assassin just now!?" An Tenghui was startled, and stood up abruptly to press the handle of the knife.
"Uncle An didn't hear anything?" Lu Sheng asked with a half-smile.
"This subordinate really didn't hear a single sound." An Tenghui shook his head slightly.
"Really? Well then, you go down and rest first." Lu Sheng didn't say much, and ordered casually.
"Yes." An Tenghui nodded, turned around and walked out of the small garden gate.
After walking out of the garden, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the gazebo.
"Huh?" An Tenghui suddenly let out a light snort, the gazebo in his eyes was actually empty at this moment, and there was no trace of the prince and guards.
Before he came back to his senses, a white shadow suddenly flashed past behind him.
An Tenghui's eyes were fixed, his whole body froze suddenly, and he fell back numbly.
"I.....I...." In the end, he only saw a white shadow flashing before his eyes.
"How could my Qing Lingzi... die in..." Before he finished speaking, he was completely out of breath.
Not long after, An Tenghui suddenly opened his eyes again.
"Huh? Where am I?" He rubbed the back of his sore neck and got up from the ground.
Suddenly his mind exploded, and the scenes of things that he was controlled to do before were quickly played back in his mind.
An Tenghui's face turned pale. Looking around, there was no one around, so he hurriedly left here.
As an old man, he knew that he was involved in those mysterious battles.
The assassination continued for three days.
In three days, Xiaorong killed at least dozens of assassins one after another, and there were even two ghost-like ghosts among them.
The other party also seemed to realize that it was meaningless to go on like this, it would only increase casualties, and on the fourth day after that, there were no more assassins attacking, and everything returned to calm.
After waiting for a few more days, Yue Wang's injury was healed according to Lu Sheng's method. Once the centipede was lured out of the body, it was no different from an ordinary centipede, trampled to death.
Yue Wang only had a few days of cultivation before he quickly set off to return to the capital.
Lu Sheng directly dispatched one of the Twelve Demon Cranes to go to the capital with Moon King to protect him.
After the demon crane became a demon, it even brought out the original advantages of the white crane to the fullest. Its body speed was almost like a ghost, and it could circle a person more than ten times with one breath.
The speed is simply appalling.
Coupled with its own ability to fly, the sharp beak infused with demon power is a natural magic weapon. Such an assassination is simply invincible.
A shapeshifting crane is enough to be equivalent to a 100-member assassination squad that is elusive.
Lu Sheng asked a demon crane to protect him, which also meant to test the strength of the capital.
Kyoto, Chaotang.
Yue Wang stood respectfully in the ranks of ministers on both sides, lowered his eyebrows and looked down, without saying a word.
General Shenwu was reading aloud the battle report that had just been delivered.
The resplendent court hall was filled with solemnity.
"His Royal Highness Yuewang, I heard that Yuewang's mansion was attacked by assassins a while ago, what is the current situation? Is there anyone who needs help?" While listening to the battle report carefully, Yuewang suddenly heard a soft voice behind him.
"It's okay, it's okay... It's all about the guards of the palace repelling the assassins, everything will be fine." Moon King replied with a smile.
"The guards of the Moon King's Mansion are really good. My Mountain King's Mansion also suffered an assassin a while ago, and lost more than a dozen guards. It was hard to capture and kill the assassin." A vassal on the other side shook his head in a low voice.
Yue Wang remained calm and listened carefully to Shan Wang's detailed story.
Several ministers who stood a little further away also noticed the movement here.
"Hey, the thirteen plum blossom assassins, the couple of heroes of the world of mortals, and more than ten masters from Dadizang Temple, three groups of masters before and after, disappeared completely after entering the Moon Palace. Son, who are you pretending to be for?" an old official sarcastically said.
"Even the Dadi Zang Temple sent people?" Another minister said in horror.
"Naturally, it is said that some eminent monks tried to plant the technique of black poisonous blood centipede, but it still had no effect." The veteran shook his head.
"I haven't heard that there are any top experts in the Moon Palace?"
"Who can tell, maybe it was just recruited?"
"The Sanmei Rebel Army has assassinated many important ministers in succession, but this time they missed the Moon King. There must be a way to follow up, just wait and see what happens."
Now apart from General Shenwu, there are three princes commanding troops to suppress the state system, and Moon King is one of them, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor.
If the three Moon Kings don't die, the overall situation will not collapse. General Shenwu can still support the continuous dynasty.
