Chapter 270 Promotion
The other inner guards did not dare to relax at all and immediately surrounded the woman. The inner guard who had his sword snatched away with bare hands also quickly evacuated and avoided the current dangerous area.
The woman finally got her weapon in hand, but she still looked at the surrounding guards with fear.
The inner guards' fighting style is the most common siege, where everyone surrounds the enemy in a group, leaving no chance for enemies with weak martial arts to escape.
Even if the enemy swings his sword, he can only kill one, and the remaining guards have plenty of time to kill the enemy.
This type of siege was later referred to as group fight. It was extremely effective, but it was still a little lacking for true weapons masters. Li Yuanfang and Kui Wenzhong had both used the "sweeping thousands of troops" technique, where they would spin in a circle and with one slash of the sword, all the people in a circle would be killed.
However, this trick was still quite effective for this woman whose self-confidence was completely destroyed, not to mention that there was an evil spirit watching her from behind.
The woman tightly grasped the knife and chopped the head of a guard in front of her with force. The guard did not dodge at all and stabbed the woman in the abdomen with the knife.
Seeing that if she struck back with the sword, both sides would be injured, and seeing that the guards on both sides who were a beat slower had already raised their swords to attack, the woman had no choice but to put away her sword and raise it above her head, blocking the two swords, and kicked out, kicking the guard in front of her several meters away.
However, the gap that had just been opened was surrounded again by the guards outside the next second.
The woman knew that it was hopeless to break out, so she immediately fought for her life with these guards.
Just as she thrust out the Night Walker in her right hand, her right arm was hooked by a chain and copper claw. Under the terrifying power of the evil spirit, the woman couldn't even swing the knife.
"You guys are so scary."
Zhao Hai was amazed when he saw that the woman who had been so arrogant before was easily subdued by the evil spirit and seven or eight inner guards.
Although he was promoted to the head of the Inner Guard Bureau, in terms of ability, he was still no match for these perverted Inner Guards. The woman fought for so long, not only did she fail to kill a single Inner Guard, she was also played around by the evil spirit.
"Next, I will lead a part of the inner guards to escort you back to Luoyang, and Mo Ling will lead a part of the inner guards to secretly protect Li Shaoyin. What do you think of this?"
The matter was over, and everyone had their own things to do. Shadow looked at the demon spirit who was making a gesture in the distance, and immediately asked Zhao Hai.
Mo Ling's meaning was very clear. Mo Ling himself was to follow Xiao Qingfang's arrangements and take the Snake Spirit members in the inner guard to secretly protect Li Cunxi, forming a double protection with Hu Jinghui, one in the open and one in the dark.
Since Shadow was not strong enough, he could only follow Zhao Hai back to Luoyang, waiting for the next time Zhao Hai came to chase Li Cunxi, and he would follow him.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "I am also following the arrangements of the Grand Chamber Leader. Just do whatever the Grand Chamber Leader arranges for you."
"Yes, Lord Zhao." Shadow responded with his head down, and hurried to where the evil spirit was.
The two met and had a secret exchange. Then Mo Ling led twenty people to secretly follow Li Cunxi, while Yingzi led the rest of the people to escort Zhao Hai back to Luoyang.
The woman, who was almost tied up like a dumpling, was sobbing, her mouth blocked by the loincloth that the evil spirit had just taken off. She couldn't utter a word, but her facial expression proved that she was in great pain.
Shadow looked back at the woman with a painful face and couldn't help but teasing, "You have quite a taste. You actually gagged this woman with a loincloth."
"We can't find any other cloth. The loincloth hasn't been washed for more than a month. It would be a bargain for her if we gave it to her." The demon spirit sneered and was about to leave with his men.
"Wait." Shadow called out to Mo Ling and said, "Big sister said that we must protect Li Cunxi. Anyone can get into trouble, but Li Cunxi must not get into trouble. He is a crucial part of our bid for world domination."
"I understand. Even if I die, I will not let Li Cunxi lose even a hair." The demon spirit handed the soft thorn whip to Shadow, "This is my trophy. I give it to you for safekeeping. If I die, you can find a younger generation for me and give him to the family."
"Can someone like you really die? The world's number one expert, Kui Wenzhong, gave you dozens of knife wounds but still failed to kill you. Who else can kill you?"
"I don't know." Ling sighed and turned his eyes to the sky, "I always feel that I may die in a few years."
"Don't talk nonsense like that. I'm leaving now."
Shadow called on the inner guards to run away together, and the woman who was tied up like a dumpling was also dragged away.
The demon spirit stood there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
In Luoyang, a petite figure woke up from her sleep. She leaned against the window sill and gasped, her expression full of fear.
In the residence of Xiao Qingfang, the chief of the Inner Guard Palace, a light suddenly came on. Under the dim oil lamp, Xiao Qingfang looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Xian'er, what's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping at this late hour?"
"Sister, I'm distraught. I just had a terrible nightmare. I dreamed that we failed and everyone died."
Xiao Qingfang reached out her hand and gently stroked the petite girl's face.
"Hello, Xian'er. Don't be afraid. We won't fail because our plan is very thorough."
"But, big sister..."
"Don't worry, we still have the teacher here. Once we rescue the teacher, we will have plenty of time to overthrow this dog emperor."
Xiao Qingfang comforted Su Xianer, showing her true motherly nature.
……
One day later, Taichu Palace in Luoyang.
Wu Zetian sat on the dragon throne, frowning, holding the letter written to her by Li Cunxi in her hand.
Wu Zetian knew every word above, but when they were put together, they seemed very unfamiliar.
Li Cunxi actually told her that her useless son Li Dan had a disciple who was causing trouble in Liang County, Ruzhou, near Luoyang.
"If Cunxi hadn't investigated all the way, I wouldn't have known that I actually had such a good son. His disciples are actually stirring up trouble in Ruzhou. Isn't this the equivalent of peeing in front of the emperor's door!"
"As a county magistrate, he seized the responsibilities of the county lieutenant and the county magistrate, monopolized the power of life and death in the county, abused his power, and disregarded the grace of God."
"I have given you my oral instructions. Order Li Dan to reflect on his mistakes for a year. Let the Ministry of Personnel draft an edict to promote Yu Qing, the lieutenant of Liang County, to the position of county magistrate, and Zhou Bi, the county magistrate, to the position of county lieutenant."
Zhao Hai bowed, left Taiganlu Palace, and left Taichu Palace with a group of inner guards, rushing to the residence of Prince Li Dan.
The lights in Li Dan's mansion were bright at this moment. Li Dan, with an anxious look on his face, stood outside the mansion, not knowing what to feel. Li Longji, who was only 6 years old, held his hand and looked around curiously.
Not long after, Zhao Hai arrived outside the Prince Xiang's Mansion. After looking at Li Dan helplessly, he clasped his hands and said:
"According to the order of His Majesty, Prince Li Dan is ordered to confine himself to study and cultivate his character for a year."
Li Dan was obviously relieved and knelt on the ground with a plop:
"Your Majesty, I, Li Dan, thank you for your grace!"
