C74 In the Middle of the Night the Hundred-faced King Appeared

Just like that, Qu Jinpeng and Lee Xiangyu sat down on the stone table in the courtyard and drank their wine. This made them feel as if they had returned to the past. It turned out that the two of them were already very familiar with each other. It could be said that they were very good friends. Lee Xiangyu would only put down all the masks and luggage in front of him and eat big chunks of meat and drink with him. After three rounds of food and drinks, it was already midnight. The weather was actually very cold at this time. But the people from General's Mansion had already lit a circle of fire beside the two of them. The two of them pushed glasses and changed cups in the fire. They chatted happily.

Dawn was just in front of them, and the two of them were already drunk. General Qu was carried back to the bedroom by the servant, while Lee Xiangyu was helped to the guest room to rest. The next day, Lee Xiangyu and Qu Jinpeng also woke up early, because they were going to arrange the defense of Shuntian Prefecture today. Lee Xiangyu didn't dare delay any longer. After bidding farewell to General Qu, he left General's Mansion and returned to the Metropolis. He then ordered the Military Minister to take care of his own matters with his subordinates.

Besides, Yang Yunxuan had been at the relay station for some time. Because of Helian Xiner and her two maidservants' care, his injuries were almost healed. In a few days, they would be able to set foot on the road to Shuntian Prefecture. It would be easier to call them by their names. In these few days, the two maidservants even gave Yang Yunxuan a name, Nameless. And these few days, he had been with them, and his mood had become much better. Although he still couldn't remember who he was and why he was injured, But under the guidance of these three girls, he was still much more cheerful. He believed that. . . One day, he would remember everything.

As usual, the four of them went back to rest after dinner. Yang Yunxuan also returned to his room. The night was so quiet that even the crickets' cries could be heard clearly. Soldiers carrying torches patrolled the courtyard of the station from time to time. At this moment, a figure shuttled through the roof and quickly arrived on Yang Yunxuan's roof. His footsteps were so light and his movements were so fast. It was obvious that he was a martial arts expert. This caused the patrolling soldiers below to not notice his arrival at all.

He bent down and lifted the tiles on the roof to look into the house. He saw Yang Yunxuan lying on the bed and resting. He removed some tiles and jumped into the room. He walked quickly to the bedside and lifted his hand to pinch Yang Yunxuan's neck.

Perhaps out of instinct, Yang Yunxuan suddenly opened his eyes and dodged the attack. He hurriedly got off the bed. "Who. . . Who are you? Why did you come to my room?"

"I am the one who wants your life. " As he spoke, he attacked Yang Yunxuan again. Yang Yunxuan kept dodging, and from time to time, he even used his hands to block the assassin's attack. When the patrolling soldiers outside heard the sound in the room, they hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. However, the moment they entered, their acupuncture points were blocked by the assassin, and they were unable to move.

Yang Yunxuan took this opportunity to flash out of the room and into the courtyard. When the assassin saw him run into the courtyard, he quickly chased out and started fighting again. At this moment, Yang Yunxuan was only dodging and did not take the initiative to fight back. Perhaps this was the instinct he had developed after practicing martial arts for so many years. When he was in danger, Although he did not remember who he was, he still instinctively dodged. Although the assassin wasn't hurt, there was nothing he could do about it. Yang Yunxuan's dodging speed was very fast, so fast that it surprised him.

After a short while, the patrolling soldiers also gathered there. Each of them held a machete and surrounded the two of them. The two maidservants and Xin'er also heard the sounds of fighting and quickly came to the courtyard.

At this moment, the assassin saw that he was surrounded by everyone, so he didn't attack Yunxuan anymore. He stood there with his hands behind his back.

"Who are you? How dare you come here and assassinate me?" Ting'er took a step forward and pointed at the assassin.

The assassin did not say anything. He just slowly turned his head to look at Ting'er and then removed the black veil covering his face.

When he removed the black veil, Ting'er was shocked and quickly knelt down to greet, "Ting'er greets Hundred-face King. "

"Yaner greets Hundred-face King. " Yaner who was at the side also hurriedly knelt down to greet when she saw the assassin's appearance.

"The guards of Nanzhou greet Hundred-face King. " As they spoke, the soldiers with sabers in their hands, who were standing guard around them, put their scimitars back into their sheaths and knelt down to greet him. At this moment, only Helian Xiner, Yang Yunxuan, and the assassin were left standing in the courtyard.

"Hundred-face King greets the princess. " The assassin wanted to greet the princess, but he did not kneel down.

"Hundred-face King is too polite. I wonder what brings you here today?"

"Hundred-face King?? You. . . You know each other?" Yang Yunxuan looked at the man who wanted to kill him with a confused expression.

"Wu Ming, this is Hundred-face King, personally conferred by the patriarch of Nanzhou. He can be considered the prince of Nanzhou. There must be some misunderstanding just now. Let's talk about it after I get to the bottom of it. " Helian Xiner saw the confusion on Yang Yunxuan's face and explained.

"Hahahaha, little brother, don't be afraid. Just now, I just wanted to try your martial arts. Sure enough, a hero comes from a young man. "

"Hehe, so that's how it is. I don't know if I know martial arts either. Just now, it was because you wanted to kill me. Thus, I instinctively hid. I apologize for my lack of manners, Your Highness. " As he spoke, he cupped his fists towards Hundred-face King.

"It was I who disturbed little brother's rest. I should be the one asking for little brother's forgiveness. All of you, get up. " As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal everyone to get up.

"Yes. " After hearing that, everyone stood up. Since they knew that it was His Royal Highness who had arrived, they no longer surrounded him and went on patrol.

"Little brother, I'm sorry. The King of Japan must treat you to a good meal to suppress your shock. The Princess and I still have something to discuss, so let's treat little brother to an early rest. " After saying that, the man in black flicked his finger twice and used his inner energy to open the acupuncture points of the two guards. After the guards' acupuncture points were opened, they hurriedly ran out.

"Ah, that's good. Then I'll go back and rest. " After saying that, Yang Yunxuan turned around and went back to his room to close the door and sleep.

"Ting'er, Yaner, let's go to the princess's room to have a chat. " After saying that, he walked towards Helian Xiner's room. The three girls also followed behind. After coming to Helian Xiner's room, Helian Xiner ordered the guards at the door to go down and close the door.

"Hundred-face Pavilion's protector Ye Xiner greets Master. "

"Hundred-face Pavilion's little envoy Ting'er greets Master. "

"The envoy of the Hundred-face Pavilion, Yaner greets the Master. "

As they spoke, the three girls knelt down one by one.

"Get up. " After saying that, the Master came to the table and sat down.

"Xiner, Ting'er, Yaner, do you three know your crime?"
