Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 353: Battle between Two Ninth-Rank Peak Masters
The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a murderous night.

After a day of fighting and destruction.

When night fell, the entire palace seemed exceptionally quiet.

On the roof of the palace, several dark figures were jumping one after another.

Soon, they landed on the same rooftop.

These people were all dressed in black, tight trousers, and had black scarves covering their faces, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes visible to observe their surroundings.

Then, one of the men in black took off the veil on his face, revealing his handsome and charming appearance, as well as the thick rouge on his face.

The man asked one of them, "Yanri, didn't we agree before that you would protect His Highness?"

"Why is it lost again now?"

Yanri, who was carrying a long sword on his back, spread his hands and said, "How should I know?"

"No one told me when I left."

"I thought you guys were responsible for protection."

Li Cunxiao, who was standing by, waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Our main goal now is to find His Highness first."

"His life is the most secure, and there must be no carelessness."

"Otherwise, we will all die!"

"Death?" Fan Wujiu couldn't help but sneer: "If something really happens to His Highness, even if we die, it would still be a light punishment."

"Your Highness is about to ascend the throne and become emperor. This is an important step. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to His Highness at this critical juncture."

Yanri nodded and said, "That being said, I don't know where His Highness has gone now."

Xie Bian pinched his orchid finger, pointed at Yanri, and said, "It's all because of you."

"If you had gone to protect His Highness directly, we wouldn't be running around here."

"Hey, you sissy." Yanri rolled up his sleeves and said, "I told you I didn't know, and you still blame me?"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you've practiced the sword manual!"

Xie Bian was not to be outdone and said jokingly, "How about we have a competition?"

"Come just come, who is afraid of whom?"

After seeing this, Fan Wujiu waved his hand to stop the two of them and said, "Can you all shut up?"

"It's already this late, and you're still competing. Can you tell the difference?"

"Hmph!" Xie Bian turned his head and snorted.

Yanri said no more and just sat there obediently.

Fan Wujiu reached out, patted Xie Bian's shoulder, and said, "Go, go, move to the side."

"Next time you go out on a mission, don't put on such thick rouge. It smells too strong."

Xie Bian rolled his eyes at Fan Wujiu and said, "It's none of your business. I just like him."

When Fan Wujiu saw this, he shuddered all over and stopped paying attention to Xie Bian, but looked at other people.

"There are no grandmasters in the palace now. Even if there are masters, they are only in the ninth rank."

"So, even if His Highness is in danger, he will be fine for the time being."

"With the weapons that His Highness has, no one except a Grandmaster can hurt him."

"We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of one. Our most important goal now is to find him as soon as possible and then secretly protect his safety."

At this point, Fan Wujiu stretched out his hands, gestured with his fingers, and said, "We will separate and go find His Highness separately. We will gather here again in an hour."

"If no one comes over later, it means that we have found His Highness, and we will go in his direction."

"You see what I mean."

Everyone nodded and said, "Understood."

Fan Wujiu nodded and said, "Okay, let's set off now without further delay."

As soon as Fan Wujiu finished speaking, everyone dispersed and jumped to different locations.

A moment later. In the night sky, Xie Bian was jumping on the roof, looking around carefully.

Just now, after he separated from everyone else, he headed towards the harem.

However, after searching for a long time on the roof of the harem, he did not find any trace of His Highness.

Not only that.

Even the entire harem seemed exceptionally quiet.

Xie Bian stopped where he was, looked up at the bedroom not far away, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"This place seems to be the queen's bedroom."

"Why is it so quiet and dark?"

"I heard from others before that the queen often has nightmares because her mother's family was exterminated. She is also very afraid of the dark. Even at night, she has to turn on the light in her room."

"I remember the last time I came here, the room was still lit."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"It's strange."

Xie Bian shook his head, stopped thinking about anything else, and continued to jump forward.

Soon, he finished checking the entire harem and started to return the same way.

In fact, Xie Bian also knew that under the current circumstances, it was impossible for His Highness to appear in the harem.

And the purpose of his coming here.

In fact, it was also to check where the people left behind by Emperor Qing were hiding.

Before Xie Bian came, he already knew from the news from the palace that Emperor Qing secretly kept some assassins in captivity, who were extremely cruel and used as tools to kill people.

Now that Emperor Qing is dead, those assassins did not appear during the day.

It is very likely that those assassins are currently hiding secretly in various places in the palace.

If these people are kept around, they will become a dangerous disaster.

Therefore, he had to find a way to find these assassins.

These people have no emotions and only know how to kill. If they hurt other people, it will be a big trouble.

Thinking of this, Xie Bian quickened his pace and jumped forward quickly.

He had just taken a few steps.

Suddenly, there was a violent sound of breaking wind in the air.

"Chirp!"

Xie Bian sensed the danger and immediately stopped where he was. He quickly leaned back and lay flat on the roof.

At the same time, a long arrow carrying a strong airflow passed by him.

"boom!"

The long arrow was nailed into the roof next to it, leaving a hole as big as a watermelon.

Xie Bian turned over and looked towards the place where the attack had just been launched.

As a result, on the roof a hundred meters away, he saw a tall figure wearing armor, with a long sword on his waist, holding a huge bow in his hand, looking at him viciously.

It's him?

Ninth-rank sharpshooter, Yan Xiaoyi!
Xie Bian recognized the person who came. It was the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards in the palace, Yan Xiaoyi.

Yan Xiaoyi looked at Xie Bian and couldn't help but sneered: "You are the assassin who caused trouble today, and I caught you."

"It seems that I deserve to be promoted and become rich."

"However, I admire you for daring to come here and kill the emperor, and most importantly, you succeeded."

Xie Bian knew he couldn't escape, so he drew the sword from his waist.

The "Bixie Sword Manual" he practiced was almost complete, and he had yet to fight against a ninth-grade master.

This time, I can just test out the power of this sword technique!
