Before the sky brightened, Lee Xun had already gotten up and put on his clothes. However, he was held tightly by the jade person from behind and the Evil Flame in his body couldn't help but spew out.
Patting Lei Jingjing's small hand, Lee Xun said: "I will be back soon, and for the next few days, don't let them go out. As long as they stay within the Jiakesi Academy, no one will dare to be impudent. If there really is someone who dares to mess around, then you don't have to be polite and do it yourself. "
"Mm, come back early." Lei Jingjing said reluctantly.
When they arrived outside the villa, the carriage was already prepared, and was waiting for Lee Xun. When they arrived at the transmission array, the sky turned white. Lee Xun paid the bill and happened to arrive at the large scale Space Teleportation Array s' usage point. He arrived at the imperial capital of Tianshun Empire, Tianshun City, and arrived at the city without much delay. He sat on the large scale Space Teleportation Array once more and arrived at the imperial capital of Yuyue Empire, Xinyue City.
According to Han Meiji, her royal brother, Han Yong Cheng, was currently in the city closest to Xinyue City, and had nominally controlled two-thirds of the country. However, only a small portion of the people had stubbornly followed him, and the majority of them had been forced to follow him, but now that they had been charged with rebellion, they could only endure. Even though his royal father, Han Nian Feng, had given the edict for exemption, no one dared to accept the edict, as it was difficult to say who would win the battle first. If she received the edict and Han Yongcheng ultimately won, then wouldn't she have received a death edict?
When Lee Xun reached Xinyue City, he immediately called for a carriage to bring him to the outskirts of the imperial city. Walking to the front gate, a guard captain stopped Lee Xun.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Why are you barging straight into the forbidden zone of the Royal Capital?"
Lee Xun handed over a piece of sculpted jade token, and said: "I was entrusted by Princess Meiji to see Your Majesty for an important matter, please pass on your message immediately."
The guard recognized that the jade tablet was bestowed by the Emperor when each prince and princess was born. Not daring to hesitate, he returned the jade tablet to Lee Xun and said, "Please follow me, don't look at it randomly once you enter the Imperial City. Just follow me.
After passing through a few corridors, it was difficult for the guards to bring Lee Xun in front of an old general: "Reporting to General, this person has Princess Meiji's personal jade tablet.
"Oh? Was he asked by Meiji? Brat, show me your jade tablet. " the old general said.
After carefully checking the jade token, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's true." Then, he returned the jade back to Lee Xun and let the guard captain follow him inside the palace. As he walked, he asked Lee Xun: "Young man, what is your name?"
"I am Lee Xun, how may I address you, senior?"
"This old man, Jin Shi Xun, has watched Meiji grow up since he was young. Last night, we already received the news that Meiji was going to break the engagement, did you come here for this matter?"
Lee Xun did not notice anything unusual about the Golden Stone Merit School. Instead, he was very concerned, as though he was very happy to hear the news of Meiji's marriage annulment. He smiled and said, "Since Old General Jin is Meiji's elder, then he is also my elder. "I dare not hide it from you, but that is precisely why I came here."
Hearing that, Jin Shi Xun immediately stopped, he turned and looked at Lee Xun carefully: "Your talent is not bad, treat Meiji well."
Lee Xun was a little puzzled, as if there was something wrong.
After hearing the news, Lee Xun came to a side hall and saw Han Nian Feng. The young man was in her seventies, but looked like a middle-aged man in her fifties. She was currently dressed casually, and also began to size up Lee Xun.
"Is that why Meiji broke off the engagement with you?" Han Nian Feng's voice couldn't be considered old, but it was filled with confidence just like the middle-aged man's.
The reason I came here today was to inform you that Meiji will be my man in Lee Family from now on, and also to ask you if you want to end the internal conflict as soon as possible.
"Brat, you are so vicious. "Wait, what did you say after that?" Han Nian Feng originally wanted to teach Lee Xun a lesson, but she was immediately stunned by Lee Xun's second goal.
"I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm confident that I can kill Han Yongcheng within two days. If he doesn't have any special preparations, maybe he can do it tonight. "I wonder if you have any confidence in dealing with the internal strife after his death?" Lee Xun did not like this future father-in-law who was going to sacrifice his two daughters as much as he liked them, so his tone was completely disrespectful.
Han Nian Feng and Jin Shi Xun looked at each other, and started laughing.
"Lee Xun, to tell you the truth, when I received the scolding from the Great Shun Empire yesterday, I had already decided to go all out and fight that unfilial son of mine in advance. Actually, I understand that marrying Meiji and Meiyan to that Bao Wei would not make them feel good, but at that time, they were truly confused. In the past few days, I've been thinking about it. Letting the army of the Great Shun Empire enter our territory is also quite risky. I would rather let that unfilial son snatch my throne than to let an outsider take advantage of me. Thus, I have already drafted a letter rejecting all of the Dashun Empire's demands. If you can really deal with that unfilial son of mine, I'm sure that I can calm the internal strife within half a month or even faster. " Han Nian Feng became excited.
Suddenly, Lee Xun felt that the future father-in-law in front of him was more than qualified to do so. He dared to take responsibility for his actions and told the truth about his own mistakes.
"Your Majesty, I wonder when you think the assassination is the most suitable time?"
"Hahaha, Lee Xun, just call me royal father from now on. There's very little we can find out about you. I don't want to ask either, I only hope that you can treat Meiji well, and bring her back to see me when you think of me. " Last night, he received a scolding from the Great Shun Empire, so why didn't Han Nian Cheng send people to look for information on Lee Xun? However, other than finding out that Lee Xun was an honorable guest of the Duanmu Clan and had defeated Yi Liu, there was nothing else. However, just these two points were enough for him to face it head on.
Lee Xun laughed, "Royal father, I will treat Meiji well."
"The time of the assassination is naturally the night. The faster the better. If I can finish it tonight, that would be even better. I will now gather the generals and get ready. I'll let you know about the unfilial son's situation. Time is of the essence. " With that, he left while laughing loudly.
Han Nian Feng's actions made Lee Xun have a better impression of him, when doing something big, he could not delay it, and took advantage of every second.
After Han Nian Feng left, Jin Shi Yong said: "Lee Xun, let's not waste time. To tell you the truth, we have a set of plans for the assassination going on tonight. Let me ask you first, how many people did you bring? "
Lee Xun was startled, he couldn't just say that he was alone, if he wanted to fight with the Heaven Rank Rankers, there would be someone who would believe him if he said it out, could it be that he was going to find a Heaven Rank Rankers to fight with him in front of the Golden Stone Merit? He could only ask, "Old General Jin, how many guards does Han Yongcheng have?"
"In his temporary Imperial Palace, there are four Earth Rank Peak experts, three of them are in the middle stage of the Earth Rank and six of them are in the early stage of the Earth Rank. There are still some needles and crossbows that can cause damage to Earth Rank Expert, but as long as you are careful, Earth Rank Expert will be fine. " From Jin Shi Xun's point of view, Lee Xun must have brought all the Earth Rank Expert s, otherwise how could he have the confidence to complete the assassination plan.
"If that is the case, then this strength is not enough to back it up. What is your plan?" Originally, Lee Xun only said that there were more than ten Earth Rank Expert s, but he did not know their true strength.
"Being attacked by the Earth Rank Expert is clearly a realistic idea. They would be discovered before we even get close. So our plan is to set fire to him at all costs, burn him down in the temporary palace, and force him out. Then, we will let the Earth Rank Expert that we set up beforehand finish a one-hit kill, as long as we kill him, we don't have to fight with them head on, some of those people were forced to do the same, so we arranged five Earth Rank Peak experts this time, so it would be fine if we kill him.
"You mean that in the future, you will also let those Earth Rank Expert s go?"
"No, those four Earth Rank Peak warriors have to be eliminated. The four of them represent the four families of the Empire of Yuyue, and the main rebel forces will be based on the relationship between the four families. The rest will be vassal forces, whether they kill or not."
"I understand. Quickly inform them that my people will be involved in the assassination attempt. Change their plans so that they can participate in it too. Protect themselves well and hand the assassination over to my people."
"Lee Xun, are you sure you can do it?" At this moment, he had no choice but to confirm his claim.
"Haha, Old General Jin, I can only say that my men have a higher chance of completing the final strike than the men you sent."
Jin Shi Xun smiled bitterly, the people he sent out would not be able to complete the assassination mission with 100% success rate. He nodded and took out two fireworks and said: "These are two shot arrows, if you fail, release one, but if you succeed, release two."
After discussing, Lee Xun took his leave. Jin Shi Xun personally sent Lee Xun out of the imperial city, and when they parted, Lee Xun said: "Old General Jin, make royal father prepare to send troops at any time. The assassination will not fail, if the four Earth Rank Peak experts appear, my people will be completely finished off as well." And then he left.
Jin Shi Xun stroked his white beard as he watched Lee Xun walk into the distance in admiration.
After Lee Xun left the imperial city, he called for a carriage to take him out to the wilderness. Although the security at the city gate was very tight, Lee Xun was naturally not found out, and after entering the city, he found a hotel relatively close to Han Yongcheng's temporary palace and stayed there, peacefully waiting for the night's assassination opportunity to come.
At midnight, through the windows, the flames could be seen soaring to the sky. After all, this was a temporary Imperial Palace, and its defensive capabilities could not be compared to the real Imperial Palace. At that moment, Lee Xun changed into the appearance of an elder with white hair and beard. Opening the window, he leaped into the air and looked down at the temporary palace.
At this time, the temporary imperial palace was almost completely engulfed in a sea of flames, and there were fights occurring in many places. Very quickly, Lee Xun discovered that a team of around fifty people seemed to be evacuating from the temporary imperial palace at a leisurely pace.
Four Earth Rank Peak Rankers and two Intermediate Earth Rank Rankers. One of them was a middle-aged man who seemed to be around forty years old. He wore a royal robe and a golden crown on his head." The corner of Lee Xun's mouth curled up slightly as he thought to himself, I finally found tonight's target, and then swooped down.
When Lee Xun blocked the group of riders, the expressions of the six Earth Rank Expert s changed. They floated in the air using Elemental Power, such an expert was definitely a peak existence in the Earth Rank Expert.
"Elder Ku, Elder Zhang, Elder Nie, it seems like we can only fight a bloody battle today. That old fart spent a lot of resources and actually managed to invite a powerful expert like him. There's no need for us to run anymore." Han Yongcheng didn't panic and said in a deep voice.
One of the experts of the Earth Rank Peak said, "The victor is the king and the loser is the thief. When we started this incident, we had already thought that there would be a day where the three old brothers would let us meet the invincible existence in the Earth Rank Expert."
The other three Earth Rank Peak experts all revealed seven-colored Soul Sword and responded to the previous person's suggestion with their actions.
Lee Xun felt that the five people, including Han Yongcheng, had the ability to be formidable. Although he admired them in his heart, the five must die. He did not summon the Sword of the Sword Spirit King, but used the "Spirit Sword Qi" sky, to not use his blade to kill chickens. In Lee Xun's eyes, the four Earth Rank Peak Rankers were not very strong, they were much weaker than Qianye Su and the rest. Furthermore, compared to the past, Lee Xun's strength had risen by a great deal after his Soul Refining Ice. This was indeed the case, even Duanmu Yang had been frank and wasn't a match for Lee Xun.
With his disguise, Lee Xun was not afraid of revealing his strength, he had better quickly finish what he was doing and return. Now that Lei Jingjing was pregnant, Lee Xun was very concerned about him. The majestic lightning Elemental Power gushed out and his entire body turned into a blue and purple stream of light, flashing out, rushing towards the four Earth Rank Peak experts. Although it was instantly blocked by over a hundred sword Qis, Lee Xun's current "Changing Sword" could already pass through a hundred transformations. With two sword strokes, not only did it resolve all of the sword Qis, it also reached the nearest person at the same time.
In front of the eyes of everyone present, this lightning-fast scene felt like a bluish-purple figure had flashed in front of the four Earth Rank Peak experts, and their four heads had flown into the air. Only the two Earth Rank Intermediate Rankers could see Lee Xun's movements clearly, and only barely.
Before the headless corpses of the four Earth Rank Peak Warriors even fell to the ground, Lee Xun had already arrived in front of Han Yong Cheng. "Han Yongcheng, go ahead and kill yourself." In the end, Han Yongcheng could also be considered his brother-in-law. There was no blood feud between them, so Lee Xun could not bear to personally kill him.
"Hahahaha, royal father is the best! Although I cannot escape today, it would still be better to wait several tens of years for over a hundred years." After Han Yongcheng finished speaking, he took the Soul Sword and committed suicide by cutting his own throat.
When Lee Xun heard the reason for Han Yongcheng's rebellion, it was because their grandfather hadn't been able to inherit the throne yet, which was the first trend. Therefore, Han Yanfeng's royal title was taken from his grandfather, who was also Han Meiji's great grandfather. Han Yongcheng admitted that his intelligence far surpassed his father, Han Nianfeng. He was unwilling to waste his time, so he secretly contacted the four great families to raise a rebellion.
Seeing that Han Yongcheng was no longer angry, Lee Xun withdrew his corpse. After all, before he died, he called Han Nian Feng his father, so it was likely that he still had her father's position in his heart. He then plucked the Spatial Ring s from the hands of the four Earth Rank Expert s. Last time, he had tasted their sweetness, so he would naturally not let them go this time. He rose into the air again and released two loud arrows, flying towards Xinyue City.
The remaining people then ran off in panic, previously when Lee Xun told them to leave, no one dared to move.
