Chapter 54 The Arrow is on the String
That year, the apricot blossoms drizzled slightly. You said you were the Prince of Guo, and maybe you were wrong from the beginning.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finally decided to help Li Shimin. This decision may have been made when they put down the burden of the Young Marshal's Army and came to Chang'an City. I know that their original plan was to go out to sea. The vast sea was a brand new stage. This may be their last time to help Li Shimin.
The plan was very successful, and even I was deceived because of Fu Cailin's cooperation.
Fu Cailin was going to Jiangnan to welcome Fu Junzhuo back. This is known to all major forces in Chang'an City. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling left with each other. Unless Fu Cailin participated in this plan, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's feelings for Fu Junzhuo would definitely not turn back halfway. It is obvious that Fu Cailin's actions were to cover them.
As for why Fu Cailin did this, in addition to being a master of martial arts, Fu Cailin also represents Goryeo. Just like Bi Xuan, he should have political considerations. Li Shimin is a candidate worth investing in. It is useful to have some intersection with the future Emperor of Li Tang when dealing with relations between countries in the future.
Therefore, everyone has social attributes and cannot exist alone. Various bonds and hindrances are plaguing us. It is indeed difficult to survive alone.
The banquet in the princess's mansion entered the climax part. From our perspective, we could not see the scene in the hall. We could only judge from the sounds coming out. What made us strange was that there was no chaos inside and it seemed to be very harmonious. Did Li Jiancheng find something that wanted to give up this opportunity?
Li Jiancheng's character is cautious. If he finds that Li Shimin is pretending to be a human, he will definitely not act. In this way, he will change from a hunter to a prey, because Li Shimin is watching him in the dark, and he must be very uneasy now.
The banquet is coming to an end, but it is really worrying that no one from any party takes action.
"It's better to let our people try it." I suggested, "It's just when there are all plants and trees inside. Even if they break a dish, they will kill each other."
"No, they can all calm down, we will never do it first." Meixian stopped him, "I hope I will pass by safely tonight, Wan Jing is still inside."
Yes, it would be fine tonight if it was fine, at least for Li Xiuning. No one hopes that this situation of brothers and feet will be in jealous on his wedding day.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was still no movement. The banquet ended. Li Jiancheng walked out of the hall surrounded by everyone. He walked very quickly with a smile on his face. I wonder if it was because of the weather, there was some sweat on his forehead.
As long as he walks out of the gate of the Princess Mansion and gets into the car, his plan tonight at the Princess Mansion will be vain. Is Li Shimin ready to take action on his way back to the palace?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Li Jiancheng walked out of the Princess Mansion, a row of sharp arrows were launched from the eaves in the distance. At this critical moment, Bi Xuan grabbed Li Jiancheng and soared into the air, and came to the high wall of the Princess Mansion. Below was a wailing sound after being caught in the arrow. Bi Xuan had just stood firm and two figures flew out of the courtyard of the Princess Mansion, one in front and the other in tacit attacked Bi Xuan.
At this moment, Bi Xuan grabbed Li Jiancheng with one hand and slowly sent it out with the other hand, meeting the two people on the opposite side. A loud bang exploded in the princess's mansion like thunder. The two attackers fell to the ground at a faster speed and spit out blood. It was Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Is this the strength of the Grandmaster after its breakthrough?
Although Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were not as powerful as those in the original work, "The Eternal Life" was a first-class magical skill. The two of them joined forces to exert magical effects, but they could not withstand Bi Xuan's attack as a result. This was no longer Bi Xuan when he was duel with me.
Once the attack begins, it cannot be stopped.
Rows of sharp arrows shot towards Bi Xuan, but they all fell when they approached Bi Xuan. It seemed that they were protecting the body of true qi. It was not impossible to cultivate true qi to this level, but there were very few people who could use it freely like Bi Xuan.
A sword light cut through the night sky and stabbed towards Bi Xuan. It was obvious that it was from Jingzhai's hand. The sword instantly turned into seven swords. A sword formation composed of seven people surrounded Bi Xuan, reminding me of the scene when Jingzhai's sword formation besieged Shi Zhixuan. Even the evil king had no choice but to hide.
The crossbow squad led by Wei Zheng began to fight back. Everyone in the princess's mansion was in danger and was hiding everywhere. The maids and the servants were in a mess. Meixian and I jumped down. Now we are not at ease to fight Bi Xuan. It is more important to take Wan Jing out first. I guess if Song Que and Fu Cailin did not leave, and Ning Daoqi might be able to kill him. Now, it depends on luck.
I knew the Princess' Mansion very well. I don't know how many times I looked at the model, but we came to Li Xiuning's residence. It was surrounded by people and a gloomy voice came from inside.
"Girl, I advise you not to resist." Li Yuanji threatened, "Otherwise I will set fire."
"Third brother, let's make trouble with you and your second brother by yourself. Don't count me. Today is my wedding day. I just want to stay here quietly." Li Xiuning responded inside the house.
"Stop pretending. You and the second brother have broken up a lot of big things. Now the second brother is looking for someone to pretend to be himself and want to trap us here. If you don't pull you out, how can you make the second brother show up?" Li Yuanji sneered, "I know he loves you the most, and I don't believe that he doesn't care about your life or death."
"Brother Third, do you really don't want to let me go?" Li Xiuning begged.
"It's not that the third brother is cruel, you're just blamed for being born in the Li family." Li Yuanji said hatefully, "Take it!"
The martial arts masters who were gathering him threw the torch into the attic. In the current sultry weather, coupled with the wooden structure, the flames suddenly jumped up, igniting the red silk cloth used to decorate the festive celebration today, and the flames soared into the sky for a moment.
"I didn't expect you to be so cruel!" Wanjing's voice floated out of it, "Xiuxiu is not here, you've found the wrong place."
Wanjing took a girl down from the attic and landed on the open space in the yard. The girl was Shang Xiufang. It turned out that the words just now were what Shang Xiufang said, and she could change her voice. When she was dressed as Xiaofang, she had a completely different tone from her own, which made me unable to hear it.
"Your Highness, the princess has left long ago." Shang Xiufang said imitating Li Xiuning's voice.
"I'm sorry!" Li Yuanji shouted in anger, "Kill them for me!"
"Your Highness King Qi should not waste time here, but find Li Shimin's whereabouts as soon as possible, otherwise everything will fail." I walked out of the darkness and reminded, "It is a good time for His Highness the Crown Prince to be ambushed. Let them fight first, there will always be a chance."
"But the second brother has always been good at planning, how could he know where he hid?" Li Yuanji frowned.
"There are many people coming from the Tiance Mansion in the Princess's Mansion, just kill a few..." I whispered, "If it really doesn't work, I can only lead people to the palace gate. There is no way out for the matter tonight."
"Good idea!" Li Yuanji's eyes lit up and he took the people away.
The fire in the attic became bigger and bigger, and began to burn into other courtyards, illuminating the entire night sky with red flames.
"You are really messing around." I blamed me, "I don't care about my own safety at all. At this time, they will not talk about any affection. Don't be used by others yet."
Speaking of which, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning are really good, and they can find someone who is willing to be a substitute. Is this their popularity so good?
"Brother Li is blaming me?" In an inconspicuous place, a maid dressed in a maid said smirkingly, "I know this place is dangerous, but if the situation is not critical, I would not have made such a bad decision. My second brother can find someone to change his dress, but I can't. Now I just hope that everything will pass earlier."
"Xiuxiu, don't pay attention to him, we are willing to stay." Wanjing persuaded.
Looking at the fourth lady of the Li family with a sad face, I really couldn't bear it. Li Shimin and Chai Shao could make a fraud, but Li Xiuning could not make a fraud. Li Yuanji just now also made a choice. Family affection is a luxury in the royal family and wants to save his life...
"Okay, leave quickly!" I urged, "There are also no secret passages in the Princess' Mansion that cannot be used. There are soldiers guarding them there. Anyone who goes out of the secret passage will be killed without any reservation."
This is the cruelty. I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. For us, there is no secret to the Princess's Mansion, and Li Jiancheng will not allow anyone to escape.
"Princess, please stay!" A voice came from the darkness.
