Chapter 159 Blood-stained Gathering of Worthies(1/2)
Gather the wise people.
"I have met His Highness!"
As soon as Li Jingyao walked into the building, Li Wuji quickly rushed to the first floor and bowed respectfully.
"Young master, no gifts."
"Long time no see, I miss you so much."
Li Jingyao stretched out her hand to hold Li Wuji's arm, with a long-lost smile on her face and ambiguous eyes.
"Please forgive me for keeping Your Highness waiting for so long."
Li Wuji took a step back, said embarrassedly, and took advantage of the situation to break free from Li Jingyao's hand.
"How about it? I heard that you are sick, and I still want to take some time to visit you at the Marquis Mansion."
Li Jingyao looked Li Wuji up and down and asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's all fine now."
Li Wuji replied gratefully, and then invited Li Jingyao to go up to the second floor and enter the box just now.
Soon, under Li Wuji's instruction, the shopkeeper and a group of waiters brought the food and drinks that Li Wuji had ordered in advance to the table one by one.
Looking at the dazzling array of fine wines and delicacies on the table, the smile on Li Jingyao's face deepened, and then she and Li Wuji started to exchange glasses.
The two of them were chatting, drinking and eating, like a pair of close friends reunited.
Everything looked so harmonious, and time passed by little by little. Even the streets gradually fell into silence, and there were not many pedestrians in sight.
However, under this seemingly peaceful night, dozens of masked killers were quietly approaching Juxianju, and the air gradually became filled with a chilling air.
"Your Highness, if it's almost done, you can return to the palace."
After drinking for three rounds, Tongzhuo, who was guarding the door, suddenly opened the door and walked into the box. He looked at Li Jingyao with a serious face and said.
Li Wuji glanced at Tong Zhuo out of the corner of his eye, lowered his head and drank wine, pretending as if nothing had happened.
It has to be said that Tongzhuo is worthy of being the commander of the East Palace guards, and his alertness is actually so high.
"What's wrong?"
Li Jingyao looked at Tong Zhuo in confusion and asked doubtfully, with a trace of reluctance evident on her face.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's best for Your Highness to leave as soon as possible."
Tongzhuo urged again with a solemn expression.
"I haven't had enough fun yet, why do you have to go back in a hurry? What happened?!"
Li Jingyao looked at Tong Zhuo dissatisfied and asked in a deep voice.
"Murderous!"
Tongzhuo frowned and said with certainty.
After hearing Tong Zhuo's words, Li Jingyao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and her face changed slightly.
Although she was a disciple of Lingyao Sword Sect, her cultivation level was not high, so she was not aware of the murderous intent Tong Zhuo mentioned.
"Murderous? Are you serious, Commander-in-Chief?"
Li Wuji pretended to look at Tong Zhuo solemnly and asked in a deep voice.
"Can't Mr. Hou notice it?"
Tongzhuo looked at Li Wuji expressionlessly and asked slowly.
Li Wuji didn't answer. He stood up and walked to the window and took a look outside.
"It is indeed murderous!"
"Your Highness, for the sake of your safety, it's better to leave first! I'll go take a look for myself and see who is hiding around here!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji turned his head and said seriously to Li Jingyao, and then walked towards the door.
"etc!"
But Li Jingyao immediately called out to Li Wuji.
"So what if he has murderous intent? He may not be coming for us!"
"Besides, with me here, who dares to come here to cause trouble?!"
"No one is allowed to leave before the wine is finished!"
Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji dissatisfied and said confidently.
After all, he didn't want to say goodbye to Li Wuji just like this, so he just got drunk.
Besides, as a Taiqing, it is not his style to run away when trouble arises.
"Okay, then I will accompany His Highness. No matter who is outside, if he dares to trespass, he will never come back!"
Li Wuji smiled, sat back again, and said with the same confidence.
After hearing Li Wuji's words, Li Jingyao nodded with satisfaction, and a smile returned to her face.
"Your Highness, please go outside to investigate first."
Tongzhuo frowned, had no choice but to report, turned around and walked out.
Every time Li Jingyao left the palace, although she only had Tong Zhuo with her, there were actually secret guards protecting her. There were people guarding the outside at the moment.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and dozens of killers wearing black clothes and their faces covered with black cloth suddenly broke in, making Juxian Residence extremely crowded in the blink of an eye!
The first and second floors are full of enemies!
"Protect Your Highness!"
Seeing this scene, Tongzhuo immediately retreated to the room and stood in front of Li Jingyao.
Suddenly so many people broke in, but he didn't receive any warning, which only meant that the secret guards hiding outside were probably already in trouble!
"Who?!"
Li Wuji looked coldly at the killer who was confronting Lu Yuan in the corridor outside the door, and asked sternly.
But the killer didn't say anything, didn't even pay attention to Li Wuji, and rushed towards the room with a knife!
Lu Yuan didn't say a word. When he saw the killer taking the lead, he pulled out his sword and fought with the killer until they reached a point!
As the two sides come and go, the sound of gold and iron is constantly ringing!
But this group of killers is not that easy to deal with. If he fights alone, Lu Yuan can handle it completely. However, facing the repeated attacks of dozens of killers, Lu Yuan gradually shows signs of defeat!
And he also wanted to prevent someone from rushing into the box and hurting Li Wuji!
"Eighth grade?!"
"Your Highness, the cultivation of these people is above the eighth level!"
After Tongzhuo observed it for a moment, he said with a solemn expression.
"Then why don't you go help quickly?!"
Li Jingyao had a sullen face, looking coldly at the killers who suddenly came in, and said in a deep voice.
Tongzhuo hesitated and turned to look at Li Wuji.
"Don't worry, Commander, as long as I'm here, your Highness will be fine!"
Li Wuji said firmly.
Tongzhuo nodded, no longer hesitated, pulled out the sword in his hand, quickly rushed out of the box, and joined forces with Lu Yuan to face the siege of dozens of killers!
With the addition of Tong Zhuo, the situation has turned slightly, and killers continue to fall!
But after all, two fists are no match for four hands. As time went by, a killer broke through the obstruction of the two people outside and entered the box!
Upon seeing this, Li Wuji immediately stepped forward to attack without any hesitation, blocking the killer's impact!
However, it seems that due to drinking too much, Li Wuji's strength is not as good as before. Faced with the siege of more and more killers, he gradually becomes exhausted.
Without paying attention, someone broke through the defense and attacked Li Jingyao who was standing at the very back!
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Li Wuji's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted a reminder, speeding up his offensive, and taking action was a life-threatening attack!
Following Li Wuji's words, Lu Yuan and Tong Zhuo outside also began to try their best. Amidst the screams, killers continued to fall in a pool of blood!
Li Jingyao's cultivation level is not high, and she drank too much wine, so she can't deal with one person, let alone face the siege of three killers!
In the blink of an eye, Li Jingyao's body had been stained many times and her blood was flowing!
Just when Li Jingyao was going all out, a killer's knife suddenly came from an angle and stabbed directly into Li Jingyao's heart!
Tired of dealing with it, Li Jingyao couldn't help but her face suddenly changed, and she had no time to escape!
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed the shining knife!
Li Wuji!
