Madam, protect me!

The news that the minister of Dali Temple was assassinated while out and that the new champion was seriously injured soon spread like wildfire in Chang'an.

The reason why the news spread so quickly was because King Chun called all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to the Li Mansion.

According to the imperial doctor who came out of Li's Mansion, the No. 1 Scholar's shoulder was shot through by an arrow that was tempered with poison.

If he hadn't prepared top-notch detoxifying elixirs refined by doctors in advance, he might have died on the spot.

When the news came out, the whole of Chang'an was shocked.

Minister of Dali Temple, the third-rank official of the current dynasty can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people.

The new number one scholar was not only a sixth-rank official of the imperial court, but also a prince-in-law appointed by His Majesty. Who dared to attack them?

Moreover, the princess was also present at the time.

Murdering the royal family and a court official was a major crime against the nine clans. Once found, no one on the family tree could escape from the beginning to the end.

Even some big shots in Chang'an were shocked when they heard the news.

Li Xuanjing would go out to pay homage to his late wife every year on this day. This was no secret to them.

Li Xuanjing had countless enemies. They took the opportunity to attack and kill him several times when he was paying homage to his wife, but they failed.

Until later, when Li Xuanjing rose through the ranks, took charge of the Mirror Division, and became the Minister of Dali Temple, this kind of thing never happened again.

First of all, there are countless powerful people in the Mirror Division. Every time he goes out, he must be heavily guarded.

Secondly, attacking and killing a third-rank official of the imperial court is a serious crime among serious crimes. If you are not pardoned, you will not be exempted from the death medal.

Including the powerful people in Chang'an, no one or organization could bear this crime, unless they were determined to have their homes confiscated and exterminated rather than kill Li Xuanjing.

In this battle, five killers died.

The six killers were captured alive and are being tortured at the Mirror Division.

Four of them died while being escorted to the Mirror Division.

No more news has been revealed yet, and everyone's eyes are focused on Li Mansion.

Li Mansion.

King Chun was walking around anxiously in the courtyard. When he saw an imperial doctor being helped out, he immediately said: "Next!"

The several imperial doctors who were queuing up in the courtyard all had bitter expressions on their faces.

The No. 1 Scholar's poison has been cured, and what remains is just a trauma. He can recover after a period of cultivation.

But King Chun ordered all the imperial doctors to use the medical family's true energy to heal his injuries. As a result, each of the imperial doctors had overdrafted their true energy. This was already the fifth one to be carried out.

Hearing King Chun speak, the imperial doctor who was carried out quickly raised his hand and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to let people in anymore. The poison of Zhuangyuan Lang has been cured and all the wounds have healed. Letting people in again is just the icing on the cake." , it doesn’t make much sense…”

King Chun said: "Isn't that still beneficial? Stop being so annoying, next one!"

After another imperial doctor came out, King Chun let them go back.

He strode into the room, looked at Li Nuo lying on the bed with concern, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Li Nuo sat up from the bed on his own, feeling great.

He looked at his shoulder. The skin there was smooth and white, with not even a scratch left, as if he was not injured.

The doctors are really good and their reputation is well-deserved.

It's just pity for those imperial doctors. All the energy is used on him, and it may take a long time to cultivate.

King Chun patted his chest and said, "It's okay."

He looked at Li Xuanjing again and asked, "Xuanjing, are you really okay?"

Li Xuanjing nodded and said, "I'm fine. Nuo'er helped me block the arrow."

King Chun touched Li Nuo's head happily and said, "Good boy."

But soon, his face darkened, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know who is behind this, otherwise I will definitely kill all nine of his tribes!"

At this time, a young man walked in from outside. He bowed his hands to King Chun and said, "I have met His Highness."

King Chun looked at him and asked: "Shen Qing, have you found out who was behind it?"

The young man shook his head and said: "They are all hired killers. I don't know the identity of their employer, but seven of the fifteen killers are the seven evil spirits of Tianshan who assassinated the young master last time. I'm afraid these two cases, It’s the same behind-the-scenes instigation.”

King Chun said in a deep voice: "He has hired murderers again and again, and even invited the master. This person must hate Xuanjing to the core, and he is so bold. There are not many such people in Chang'an."

Li Nuo thought for a while and said, "I know who was behind the last case."

King Chun immediately asked: "Who?"

Li Nuo said: "Prince Rui."

King Chun's expression changed: "What?"

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and said: "On that day, Prince Rui's men appeared at the scene of the crime. If I hadn't happened upon him by chance, I would definitely not be alive today."

After a while, King Chun walked out angrily. He got on the carriage. After returning to Prince Chun's Mansion, he asked, "Where is Prince Rui?"

A figure left quickly and came back after a while, saying: "Back to Your Highness, Your Highness Prince Rui is hosting a banquet in Qujiang Garden today."

King Chun said coldly: "Go to Qujiang Garden!"

Li Mansion.

In the room, Li Anning looked at Li Nuo and asked, "Are you really okay?"

Li Nuo pointed to his smooth shoulder and said, "Do you think I look like something is wrong?"

Six imperial doctors used all their energy on his body, and they were able to cure even the most severe trauma.

Li Nuo looked at the beautiful lady and An Ning standing beside the bed, and felt extremely lucky in his heart.

Fortunately, they all went, and fortunately he had been teaching them Tianshan swordsmanship during this period. Even more fortunately, these fifteen killers happened to include the Seven Evils of Tianshan. It was like they had won the exam questions in advance...

If one of them is missing, today may be a bad day.

At this time, Li Nuo had seven more portraits in his mind.

The Seven Evils of Tianshan were wanted last time, and whether they were killed or arrested this time, they would directly light up the code.

To be able to practice to the fourth level, you must have practiced a certain martial arts to the extreme.

So far, all the strong men in the fourth realm of martial arts, without exception, have entered the Codex.

As for the other few people, after the case is filed with the Mirror Division or Dali Temple, they should also appear in the code.

It's a pity that the grandmaster ran away.

If you can catch a grandmaster, not to mention the increased lifespan, even if you face the grandmaster again in the future, you will not be without the power to resist.

The concierge at home turned out to be a master.

This was something Li Nuo never expected.

He didn’t know how much benefit his father had given him, but a grandmaster like one in a million was willing to guard the Li family’s door...

Butler Wu walked in from the outside holding a wooden plate with a plump peach on it.

As soon as he entered the room, an alluring fragrance filled the entire room.

Butler Wu carried the wooden tray and walked to Li Nuo's bedside and said: "Young Master, His Royal Highness King Chun sent this to help you recover. At this time of year, the peaches in Sinong Temple are not yet ripe, so I don't know. Where did Your Highness get it from? It must have cost a lot of money..."

It's true that Li Nuo hasn't eaten peaches grown by farmers for a long time.

However, his body was in better condition than before the injury after being adjusted by the doctor's true energy, and there was no need to continue to recover.

He cut the peach into four and gave a piece to the beauty and An Ning.

But both Niangzi and An Ning refused.

They had eaten a lot of peaches like this before. They were for him to replenish his health, so they would naturally not be greedy.

Song Yiren took a bite and almost cried because it was so delicious.

She had never tasted such delicious peaches.

Li Nuo had already picked up a piece, but when he saw tears in Yi Ren's eyes, he put the piece back.

Poor Yiren, she has lived such a hard life in the Sanqing Sect these past years, but she was so moved after eating a peach.

He pushed the wooden plate in front of her and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll give you these..."

Song Yiren wiped her eyes and said, "This is for you to recover, I don't want it anymore."

Li Nuo jumped out of bed, jumped on the spot a few times, and said, "Do you think my body still needs to recover? You haven't eaten the peaches from the farmer, so I'll give them to you..."

Song Yiren ate the peach with big mouthfuls.

If her sister and Li Anning hadn't been there, she would have thrown herself into Li Nuo's arms and cried.

Ever since she was little, no one has been so kind to her.

She only regretted that she didn't escape earlier, so that Song Jiaren got there first...

At this time, Qujiang Garden.

In a large hall, court musicians were playing hard in the corner, and the entire hall was surrounded by beautiful music.

In the center of the hall, several rows of graceful dancers danced to the music, with light steps and flying long sleeves. During their flexible movements, their small navels were looming, and their thin gauze clothes seemed to be impermeable, adding a bit of temptation.

The hall was full of guests, and some of them who lacked self-control had quietly stretched their hands under the table and made subtle adjustments.

Prince Rui sat at the top and took a sip of wine, his eyes lingering on the dancing girls.

The dancers in this group were quite pretty. He tilted his head slightly and said to the eunuchs: "The one in the middle of the front row, the second from the right in the middle row, and the third from the left in the back row. After the banquet, send To the palace."

The eunuch nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes."

A figure standing behind Prince Rui looked at the named dancers, clenching his fists secretly, with jealousy and murderous intent in his eyes.

At this time, a figure strode in from outside the hall.

The guard standing at the door wanted to stop him, but when he saw the figure clearly, he immediately retracted.

There was a trace of surprise on Prince Rui's face, but he immediately stood up, stepped forward with a smile, and said, "Brother Emperor, why are you here? Sit down quickly..."

Prince Chun ignored Prince Rui's smile, grabbed his collar, and pressed him hard against the pillar.

Clang!

None of Prince Rui's guards dared to act rashly. Only behind Prince Rui, a slender figure stepped forward and suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath.

Prince Rui turned to look at him and said, "Back off!"

The young man with a gentle face sheathed his long sword, but still stared at King Chun with fierce eyes.

King Rui looked at King Chun and asked in confusion: "Brother, what happened, why are you so angry?"

King Chun lowered his voice and said, "Were you the assassins who assassinated Xuan Jing and his son?"

Prince Rui was shocked. Could it be that the previous two incidents were exposed?

But those two times were just to assassinate Li Xuanjing's son. Even though he hated Li Xuanjing to the core and said all day long that he would kill Li Xuanjing, he did not dare to actually assassinate a third-rank official of the imperial court.

Even Li Xuanjing's son is now a sixth-grade official and a quasi-consort. He can no longer be as unscrupulous as before. What on earth is King Chun talking about?

Prince Chun stared at him intently and said in a deep voice: "Li Rui, don't say that I didn't warn you. If you dare to touch the Xuan Jing family again, don't blame me for not thinking of brotherhood!"
