Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 88 The guardian clan appears, their identity!

Li Shimin was a little unhappy, frowned slightly and said: "Little Sizi, you stole food again? Eating too much is not good."

Now that he couldn't find the trouble with "Qin Wenyuan", he just blamed his daughter a little.

"Oh no! I let it slip!"

Little Sizi quickly covered his mouth, looked at Li Shimin cautiously with his little eyes, and whispered: "Father, if Sizi said he didn't eat, would you believe Sizi who is very honest?"

Li Shimin's eyes were full of helplessness, and he just looked at Xiao Sizi calmly.

"Little Sizi, lying is not good. Your mother taught you that."

When little Sizi heard this, he was so anxious that he grabbed his clothes with his hands.

"Wow, Father, I am wrong. I just ate a little bit this afternoon. My second brother gave it to me. It was really delicious."

"It's your second brother again... He gave it to me, just... a little bit?"

"Yeah, just a little bit! Not much. Next time, Sizi, try not to eat. You need to become thinner, and then let your second brother, mother, and father hold you forever!"

Little Sizi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes firm, showing his determination to move forward.

"Pfft, hahaha! All right, then father will just wait for the results of our little Sizi."

Li Shimin was amused and laughed out loud.

Because of Xiao Sizi's funny behavior, Li Shimin couldn't get angry anymore.

As expected, his own daughter is so good. She can always make him forget his worries without him noticing.

immediately.

After telling Xiao Sizi about her affairs today and making sure that there were no omissions throughout the day, Li Shimin asked Li Junxian to take the little one to Lizheng Hall for dinner.

"Let's go, Your Highness, the Queen must have been waiting for a long time."

Li Junxian laughed.

"it is good!"

Little Sizi narrowed his eyes and raised his hand in response.

After taking a few steps, she seemed to have thought of something and turned around and said, "Father, Father! Why don't you go with Sizi? On the way, Sizi wants you to hear about the results of Sizi's study today."

"Those 'Standards for Being a Good Pupil and Child', wow, they are like a heavenly book, but Sizi is very smart and understood their meaning right away. Father, do you want to listen to them?"

Little Sizi held his hands in front of his face, his eyes full of anticipation.

That expectation that is almost materialized.

Li Shimin almost wanted to go with her.

But no, there are still many political affairs that have not been dealt with.

The Tang Dynasty had many things to do and was busy with government affairs.

So he, as the emperor, needs to take more care.

In today's politics,

There was one from Yangzhou City that interested him very much and he needed to study it carefully.

"Father will not go for now. Little Sizi, please give your father's regards to your mother."

Li Shimin laughed and said.

"Okay, then Sizi can only tell the Queen Mother."

Little Sizi was hunched over, with his hands hanging limply, looking very lost.

This made Li Shimin almost want to agree to the little guy's request.

The little guy looks so pitiful.

at this time,

Little Sizi stood up, looked unhappy, and continued, "Father, I'm leaving now! After dinner, I'll bring you some delicious food!"

"it is good!"

God knows how much effort Li Shimin took to say it, he only knew that when he came to his senses, Xiao Sizi had already gone far away.

"Oh, I really want to take Xiao Sizi with me and have a happy meal with Guanyin, but unfortunately... family and country cannot coexist."

Li Shimin sighed.

He shook his head and went back to deal with government affairs again.

..............................

On the way to Lizheng Hall.

Li Junxian kept thinking about the ancient tomb.

The results came out today. That place is exactly where Emperor Wu of Han once visited. The Han Dynasty... also had its own Terracotta Warriors.

"Next, how should we explore there?"

Li Junxian frowned, full of worry.

He had heard from Cao Kewei that place... was full of dangers.

With such thoughts in mind, I passed by Hanyang Gate.

Li Junxian's eyes became bright, and he clearly felt that something was wrong here.

Because... it's too quiet?!
At this time, the crescent moon hangs in the middle of the sky.

Inside Hanyang Gate.

The night light is like frost, spreading across the earth, adding a touch of coldness.

Normally it was quite lively, but at this moment it was extremely quiet, as if one had walked into a mass grave.

Li Junxian stomped on the floor, making some crisp sounds.

He listened carefully and the noise nearby became weaker and weaker, as if the entire Hanyang Sect had quickly pressed the mute button.

"Li Junxian, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so sad?"

Xiao Sizi blinked, somewhat unable to understand.

"It's alright, Your Highness, I'm just... eh? Be careful!"

Half the story.

Li Junxian's eyes were sharp and he quickly picked up Xiao Sizi and dodged to the side.

The next moment, the sound of "chi chi chi" broke the silence of the night.

At the original position of Xiao Sizi, a hidden weapon had already been stabbed into the ground.

It is conceivable that if Li Junxian had not reacted in time, then now... we would only be able to see the injured or even seriously injured Xiao Sizi.

"Ah, what is this?"

During Xiao Sizi's short life, he was protected by Li Shimin most of the time, but he only roughly knew that it was very dangerous?

uncertain.

But I can feel my heart beating.

Violent! Tremor!
The little body couldn't stop shaking.

That comes from the most primitive behavior of human beings, the fear of death!
Also at this time.

The palace servants who were responsible for serving Xiao Sizi were so frightened that some of them ran away, while others followed Li Junxian.

The guards who were responsible for protecting Xiao Sizi drew their swords and protected Li Junxian in the middle. The leading guard was still shouting "There is an assassin".

however.

They were in the deserted Hanyang Gate.

No guard responded at all.

"Dong dong dong..."

The gates of Hanyang Gate all around began to fall slowly at this time.

They became trapped in a jar!
Li Junxian's eyes were cold. He once again grasped the hand of Xiao Sizi beside him, looking only forward, and said, "Your Highness Xiao Sizi, there is an assassin."

"Moreover, this is an assassin who has been planning for a long time. He has no good intentions. If we separate later, you must follow me closely! As long as I am here, no one can hurt you!"

Little Sizi's face was pale.

She was usually lively and energetic, but when she heard Li Junxian's words, she realized what had happened to her. She remained silent and did not disturb them, but just held Li Junxian tightly with her little hands.

Hanyang Gate.

The city gates slowly lowered.

Li Junxian's eyes became colder.

In the imperial city, each gate is guarded by corresponding guards.

In the past, when passing through Hanyang Gate, guards with swords could be seen almost everywhere.

But now the guards of Hanyang Gate showed no reaction, and even the city gates were down.

That is to say...

All the guards of Hanyang Gate were instigated to rebel.

Who on earth could have instigated the guards of the imperial city to rebel?

The forces behind these people are definitely not simple!
and.

The hidden weapon just now.

They were located on the east side of Hanyang Gate, about thirty meters away from the nearest city gate.

Even though it was more than thirty meters away, the hidden weapon was able to accurately lock onto His Highness Xiao Sizi.

The person who used the hidden weapon is definitely a top master!

who is it!

Who is it!

Not only can he incite the imperial guards to rebel, but he can also send out such a top-notch assassin!

Your Highness Xiao Sizi, how did you offend them?
Li Junxian was full of confusion.

But he didn't have time to think about it, because on the eastern wall of Hanyang Gate, there were already several? No, more than a dozen men in black!
They just stood on the city wall like that.

next moment.

All began to climb down using ropes.

"Meet the enemy!!!"

Li Junxian shouted.

The guards responsible for protecting Xiao Sizi are the most elite soldiers in the imperial city.

All it takes is one word from Li Junxian.

They will know what to do.

moment.

Several guards rushed forward to fight with the first assassins who landed on the ground.

however.

Just when they were halfway through the charge, two of the guards drew their swords and slashed at the guards next to them.

"scold!"

The sharp sword pierced into the guard next to him, a red light flashed, and the guard who was slashed died in fear and confusion.

Then the two guards joined the group of men in black and rushed towards Li Junxian and others.

Li Junxian and others saw this scene.

stunned!

Shock!

Can't believe it!

A traitor!!

Li Junxian couldn't believe that the guards that His Majesty had carefully selected for His Highness Xiao Sizi would actually be part of the assassination team tonight.

Damn!

Who is this person behind the scenes who can even instigate the princess's guards to rebel?

Li Junxian's teeth were almost broken.

"Commander Li, there is a traitor among us! Please quickly escort His Highness Xiao Sizi away, we will block him here!"

"This is the imperial city. It will only take some time for the soldiers to arrive!"

"As long as you can hold on until then, all crises will be solved!"

A guard exclaimed.

Li Junxian was just about to speak.

But something strange happened suddenly. The guard who had just spoken was hit on the arm by the guard next to him. He howled in pain and blood gushed out.

Not just him.

There were also guards nearby who rebelled and attacked the guards next to them.

confusion!

It's all chaos!

Li Junxian did not dare to be careless. He quickly grabbed Xiao Sizi's hand and ran towards the place behind him.

He didn't know who his teammates were and who his enemies were, so he could only run away first.

Of course!
No matter how messy it is!
There is only one indicator in mind!
The safety of His Highness Xiao Sizi is the most important, more important than his life!!

at the same time.

Hanyang Gate, on the highest building of the east city wall.

A man covered in black clothes, with only his eyes visible, was standing upright on the top of the city wall, with his hands clasped, a dagger hidden in his sleeves and a big knife at his waist.

When he saw the little Sizi being taken away by Li Junxian, his eyes flickered.

A pair of eagle eyes, full of complexity.

next moment.

Without any protective measures, he fell straight down.

in mid-air,

He was still able to maintain his straight posture, and when he was halfway down, he swung his right sleeve to the left, and a special hook shot out. The hook was extremely sharp and easily pierced into the stone bricks of the city wall and locked.

He also took advantage of this to land safely.

"Oh!"

After landing, the eagle-eyed man quickly ran towards the location where Xiao Sizi was.

At this time,

Two other men in black appeared in the field of vision of this eagle-eyed man.

And the two men in black, holding big knives, walked towards him.

The two men were dressed in black, with their faces covered, and each held a long knife in his hand.

Under the illumination of the night light, the long sword flashed with a sharp chill.

Although both of them were dressed in black, their attire was extremely different.

So those two men in black came here with murderous intentions!

In order to ensure that the assassination of Xiao Sizi is successful in one go, all actions today have been carefully planned and the entire mission process is extremely detailed.

For example, when it comes to clothing, all the people in black wear the same style.

If something is different, needless to say, it is the enemy.

Even if not!
We must also adhere to the principle of rather killing someone by mistake than letting him go!
All just because.

They are trying to assassinate the Tang Dynasty imperial family!

Assassinating...the most powerful top figure in the Tang Dynasty!
Two men in black.

Just like that, he swaggered towards the eagle-eyed man.

The tip of the knife touched the ground, making a sharp, crackling sound as they moved.

The eagle-eyed man watched them approach calmly, extremely calm, and did not slow down at all.

The two men didn't say much.

When he was not far from the eagle-eyed man, he also started running.

Two steel knives, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards the eagle-eyed man.

The eagle-eyed man's eyes flashed, and he stomped his right foot on the ground.

next moment.

He disappeared from the sight of the two assassins.

The two assassins' pupils shrank and their expressions changed slightly.

The blade fell, but missed, because they had never expected the eagle-eyed man to suddenly disappear.

Under the huge inertia, the body staggered.

And at this moment, they suddenly felt as if their heads were being pressed down by an iron clamp.

next moment….
boom! ! !
The two heads collided with a loud bang in the hands of the eagle-eyed man.

It was like two watermelons suddenly colliding with each other.

It shattered instantly!

Blood spread all over the ground.

The eagle-eyed man threw the two corpses aside and continued to run forward.

He knew this was just the beginning.

This night is still very, long.

…………

at the same time.

In a nearby place, one can see the room in the high-rise building of the imperial city where Hanyang Gate had undergone a dramatic transformation.

inside the room.

No candles were lit.

But there was a man in a black robe and a black hood, sitting here holding a wine glass.

On his black robe was printed an extremely eye-catching pattern of the Yin-Yang Bagua fish in purple.

Purple is the opening of the seven stars!
This time arrived.

It was he who represented the Big Dipper and helped the Lu family's actions tonight.

On the table in front of Kaiyang, there was a chessboard.

He dropped a white piece, then rode away two black pieces, and threw the shiny black piece aside. He shook his head slightly and said, "Master Lu, the move you arranged is a sure win, but I didn't expect that the immortal... also has a trick up his sleeve."

"Haha, he was born with eagle eyes, and his fighting power is also unexpected. He is very capable in fighting. He is really a top expert in the martial arts world."

"I feel relieved when everything is arranged properly. After all these years, he is still so cautious and has planned everything."

"If it weren't for those things, I really wouldn't want to be an enemy of such a cautious and powerful person."

Kaiyang gave a bitter smile, then he suddenly raised his head and looked at the man opposite him, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, your Lu family has all the intelligence in the world, but you can't know the whereabouts of that person at all."

"Now, do you understand why? If that person... wants to hide his tracks, not to mention your Lu family, even those of us who know him well will not be able to find out where he is."

"If he wants to hide, no one in the world will know his whereabouts. He... knows everything about the past and present. He is really too strong."

Kaiyang couldn't stop sighing.

Patriarch Lu raised his eyes slightly and said, "It is indeed amazing. I have to admit it."

"By the way, you, Big Dipper, have been fighting with that immortal for a long time, and this man is obviously a subordinate of the immortal. Do you know him?"

Right now,

Kaiyang was sitting opposite, with his signature kind smile and squinting eyes, as if making people think he had his eyes closed.

Hearing what Patriarch Lu said, he just said calmly: "I don't know him, I have no idea."

"But...if we want to kill Li Mingda, this is our only chance. Once bitten, we will be afraid of the ropes for ten years. If we fail, the protection around Li Mingda will only be stronger in the future."

"So, no matter who they send to protect Li Mingda, the arrows have to be shot, and we have to deal with them all."

"So, in order to cooperate with your Lu family, I have already mobilized a lot of forces to make Hanyang Gate subordinate to our main field for a short period of time. In order to ensure that there are no mistakes, I even assigned a lot of people to the city gates near Hanyang Gate to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"You only have two quarters of an hour now."

The head of the Lu family smiled slightly. He picked up a black piece and dropped it onto the chessboard. He said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. In order to make that immortal lose his composure and show up in the open, Li Mingda...she is also on my Lu family's must-kill list."

"Now that everything is arranged, it's time for me to leave."

After making his move, the head of the Lu family stood up and left.

Kaiyang ignored the head of the Lu family and didn't even say hello when he left.

He was just watching the chessboard by himself, and then he picked up the white piece and placed it down, completely settling the situation on the entire chessboard. It was him who had defeated the head of the Lu family.

There is no chance of a comeback!
Kaiyang was extremely calm after winning the chess game. He just looked at Li Mingda in the alley. His eyes flickered slightly and he looked melancholy.

"The night is long~"

………………

Hanyang Gate.

The eagle-eyed man was still advancing.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a sound of hurried footsteps.

He looked forward and saw six men in black holding long swords. The swords cut through the ground with a sharp sound and rushed towards him.

The first wave consisted of only two people.

And this second wave had three times as many people!!

The eagle-eyed man took a quick glance and withdrew it. Without hesitation, he did not retreat but instead ran forward quickly.

The speed is extremely fast, even faster than those assassins in black!
And the next moment, he rushed into these assassins.

He quickly drew out his sword, and the crisp metallic sound of "ding-ling-ding-ling" echoed through the night. Then he swung the sword downwards, and the muscles on his arms were like steel. Terrifying power swept down with the sword.

There was a thud.

The big knife that the assassin used to block was actually chopped off directly.

And the assassin was instantly split into two halves.

Blood immediately spread everywhere, making the originally beautiful ground suddenly become extremely bloody and creepy.

The ruthlessness and mercilessness of the eagle-eyed man immediately made the killers tremble in their hearts.

They subconsciously looked at the eagle-eyed man, but saw that his eyes were calm and cold.

Those calm eyes were like the gaze of the god of death, which made their hearts begin to tremble.

"This idea is difficult, let's do it together!!"

"rush!"

“Solve it quickly!”

"..."

Several assassins whispered to each other quickly, and the next moment they attacked the eagle-eyed man from three locations.

Left, right, center….
Three directions!

But even so, the eagle-eyed man could handle it calmly.

Compared to his strength, his speed is even more terrifying and extremely fast. Before the assassins can react, they will find that their bodies have already been injured.

Bang bang bang….
It didn't take a while.

These assassins fell one after another!!
The knives in their hands fell to the ground one after another, making a clanging sound.

Suddenly, the smell of blood filled the air.

Somewhat unpleasant.

A bit pungent.

The black robe of the eagle-eyed man was stained with a lot of blood and sweat, which looked shocking under the night light.

He calmly shook off the blood on his sword and put it back into the scabbard.

When putting away the knife.

The extremely pleasant sound of ding-ding-ding was heard again.

Then, he ran towards Li Mingda's location again.

…………

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Li Junxian protected Xiao Sizi and was badly injured by the various blades of the men in black in front of him.

"You are no match for me because of my powerful sword skills."

The man in black, Zhu Lian, holds a rapier.

The rapier moved forward and collided with the big knife again, and the soft rapier actually turned and stabbed Li Junxian's arm directly.

turn!

Another turn!

Li Junxian didn't know how many times the wheel had turned, he only knew that most of his injuries were caused by this turn.

at this time.

He is in a bad situation here.

The guards in front were also slaughtered, and three rebellious guards and two men in black ran towards here.

"Oh!"

In another confrontation, Li Junxian was stabbed in the stomach by a rapier. With multiple injuries, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

"Li Junxian!"

Little Sizi's eyes were red and he cried anxiously.

She quickly ran to Li Junxian, pressing the bleeding wound with her small hand, trying to stop the wound.

"Little... Little Sizi, run... run."

Li Junxian's breathing was disordered.

The right hand, which still had a bit of strength left, was trying hard to push Xiao Sizi away.

But he was too badly injured.

Even the little Sizi couldn't be pushed anymore.

"No! Sizi doesn't want to leave! Sizi wants to help you press on your wound!"

"Sizi has seen this before. If the bleeding is not stopped in time, you, Li Junxian, will die. Sizi doesn't want you to die! And he won't allow it!"

Little Sizi kept crying.

The little hand was always pressed against the wound. Sometimes, when there were too many tears, he would wipe his face with his little hand, which caused the blood on his little hand to stain his little face, making him look extremely ugly.

however.

At this moment, Xiao Sizi, who was sharing the same suffering as Li Junxian, seemed so beautiful in Li Junxian's eyes.

It’s like living in thousands of worlds and thousands of scenes.

perhaps.

So be it.

After all, with His Highness Xiao Sizi's speed, it is impossible for him to outrun the assassin.

Li Junxian closed his eyes helplessly.

Before he died, countless memories flashed through his mind. He had never done anything he regretted in his life.

There is only one.

Failed to protect His Highness Xiao Sizi.

Your Majesty, Queen, I'm sorry...
There is endless shame in my heart.

at the same time.

Zhu Lian swung out a few sword flowers and put the rapier back into the scabbard.

She looked at the little Sizi who was facing away from her, her face calm, without any sympathy for the child in front of her.

It's impossible to move sideways!

After all, he had committed nearly twenty-five assassinations in his lifetime.

My heart has long been as cold as a rock.

"Is this the imperial family? I, Zhu Lian, will finally succeed."

Zhu Lian's eyes flickered.
