Chapter 199 - Steal of the Militant Lord's Heart
She was extremely unwilling. Why was it that things had developed differently from what that man said? Didn't he say that as long as she stole his most important thing and used it as a threat, he would allow her to leave the cold palace?
Baili Yi Chen was already flustered and didn't want to bother with her anymore. This damned girl, who was it that dared to lend her the courage to go into the imperial study and touch Southern Qi's infantry chart?
This was too disappointing!
Baili Ziyan cast her gaze at Empress Dowager again, but before Empress Dowager could speak, Baili Mingyue's cold voice sounded in her ears: "If you don't take it out now, you will never take it out again."
When Baili Mingyue said these words, Baili Ziyan was deeply aware of the seriousness of the situation. He cried: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I left the infantry chart under the flower pot over there."
This was what that person had told her. The safest place was the most dangerous place, so after she had brought the infantry chart from the imperial study, she placed it under the flower pot. In fact, even though her royal brother's men had searched the entire Cold Moon Palace and Nebula Pavilion, she hadn't expected that the infantry chart would be placed in a place that was close to her eyes.
Very quickly, someone rushed over to search for the infantry chart, but that person quickly ran back as well. "Your Majesty, there isn't any."
Hearing that, Baili Ziyan's face turned white: It's impossible, I was placed under the second peony flower, I won't remember wrongly.
However, that person still persisted and replied, "Your subordinate has already checked all the flower pots over there, there really is nothing."
Baili Yi Chen turned his head and ruthlessly ground out a few words from between his teeth, "Hundred! Inside! Purple! "Yan!"
Baili Ziyan's face turned pale white, after that she looked at Baili Mingyue in fear, and shook her head: "This … How is this possible!? This was impossible! I really put it there! "
"Someone, drag Baili Ziyan away and lock him in the Sky Prison!" Baili Yi Chen did his best to suppress the anger in his heart as he coldly spoke.
A group of people quickly walked over and captured Baili Ziyan.
Baili Ziyan looked at the approaching group of people. She was the Grand Princess, how could she go to the Cold Palace?
As he thought about it, he used his strength to push Nangong Yimeng, who was supporting him, away from him.
However, after she ran one round, she realized that she had nowhere to go, so she could only rush towards Nebula Pavilion. The group of people looked at Baili Ziyan's back, then glanced at Baili Yi Chen, waiting for his orders.
Baili Mingyue quickly left, and Baili Yi Chen also discovered it.
Since he was so busy, it must be related to the infantry chart.
Therefore, he was no longer in the mood to deal with Baili Ziyan's matters. He tilted his head and glanced at Nebula Pavilion. After he finished speaking, he coldly snorted and quickly followed Baili Mingyue.
The group of imperial guards had received the emperor's orders, so they naturally didn't dare to slack off and quickly headed towards Nebula Pavilion.
Baili Ziyan wanted to escape, but there was no way out. She could only continue to walk up, but the higher she went, the higher she went, the less space there was for her to move.
Suddenly, Baili Ziyan's feet slipped and her entire person fell from the Nebula Pavilion's arena that was over ten meters tall.
"Ahh …" With a miserable scream, Baili Ziyan fell to the ground, floating in the night sky like a fallen leaf in the wind. Then, with a "Bang!" sound, a pool of blood flowed out.
Seeing that, Nangong Lingwei said: "No, Yan Er!" She then closed her eyes and fainted.
Nangong Yimeng was also shocked dumbstruck by Baili Ziyan's death, but she fainted again when she saw Empress Dowager, and quickly reached out to support her. "Muhou, muhou!"
… ….
Hong Zhong and Wu Shang followed the man in black. After following him for a long time, they also realized that the man in black's martial arts was indeed very powerful. She and Wu Shang had to use all their strength just to keep up, so as to not lose his.
They quickly left the palace and arrived at a cliff.
At an intersection that was split in two, the man in black disappeared in a flash.
Wu Shang and Hong Zhong looked at each other for a moment. Then, Wu Shang took out a signal flare and gave it to Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong also took the item and put it away. Afterwards, the two of them split up in tacit understanding, and each walked towards the other side to look for the black-clothed man.
Hong Zhong walked along the mountain path. Actually, it was only after she had learnt this ancient martial arts that she realized that this ancient inner force was a very mystical thing. After practicing it, not only would she not feel cold, she would also be able to see at night.
Even though the sky was now completely dark, because she had internal energy, it did not affect her eyesight. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly felt a biting cold killing intent in front of him. When he focused his eyes, he saw a bunch of Black Gold Broken Blade s shining with a cold silver light in the night sky.
Looking at the Black Gold Broken Blade, Hong Zhong was stunned for a moment. If she remembered correctly, this Black Gold Broken Blade was the weapon of the legendary number one assassin Leng Yihang, and now that it appeared, could it be that the person who came out from the palace in black was Leng Yihang?
Hong Zhong had not even opened her mouth when she heard a low voice just as she was considering whether she should release a signal flare and call for Wu Shang for help. It was as if she was an Asura of hell who did not carry any warmth, "You shouldn't have come."
Hearing the voice, Hong Zhong's heart skipped a beat. This voice, was indeed Leng Yihang!
Although she wasn't very familiar with Leng Yihang, the unique Asura aura in his voice didn't exist on anyone else. Hong Zhong thought for a bit, then stared at Leng Yihang who was standing five meters away: "The man in black in the palace, is that you?"
"You … Is it for the infantry chart? " Thinking about Leng Yihang inexplicably appearing in the Imperial Palace and what was happening in the Imperial Palace tonight, the two shouldn't be as simple as coincidence, right?
Seeing Hong Zhong's persistent question, Leng Yihang raised his eyebrows and replied coldly: "Yes."
"So, you already took the infantry chart with you?" Hong Zhong's expression became solemn.
On the way here, she had already asked Wu Shang what exactly a infantry chart was. After finding out the answer, Hong Zhong felt a burst of lingering fear.
Even if they knew that the infantry chart were stolen, they would still need a year to get down from their new location. If this map were to go to the enemy at this time, the Southern Qi would probably be destroyed.
This was the reason why she followed the black-clothed man without caring about her life. Thus, after she knew that the black-clothed man was Leng Yihang, she did not plan to retreat.
"Yes." Regarding Hong Zhong's question, Leng Yihang did not refute it.
He was the No. 1 Assassin in the world, and never cared to lie.
Hearing that, Hong Zhong pulled the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb from her waist and spoke with an ice-cold expression: "Hand the infantry chart over, or else I won't be courteous to you."
Leng Yihang turned his head to look at Hong Zhong. Last time, Baili Mingyue had said 'even if you have to suffer a thousand losses and kill eight hundred enemies, this king will still make you die'. His words came back to him from the depths of his mind. Furthermore, during his fight with Baili Mingyue, his suicidal strategy was still fresh in his mind. He was very curious as to exactly what sort of charm this woman possessed to be able to cause Baili Mingyue to risk her life to protect him.
"Take it out!" Hong Zhong shouted coldly again. Her violent voice indicated that she did not have much patience left.
Hearing this, Leng Yihang recalled the Mo Yu Sou that hung around her neck. Since she was Hong Li's younger sister, then he would owe her three favors with that whistle. He, Leng Yihang, had always been someone who cared about reputation and would not hurt her until he paid her back the favor that he owed.
Therefore, he didn't have any plans to fight Hong Zhong. He stretched out his left hand and answered honestly: "The infantry chart is here. "Come and get it."
Hong Zhong frowned as she looked at it. In Leng Yihang's hands, there was something that looked like a scroll.
Hong Zhong would not be so naive as to think that he would so easily return it to him. Hong Zhong tore the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb from her waist and wanted to roll over to him, but before she could do anything, she was snatched away by a black-clothed man.
With a leap, the black-clothed man took the infantry chart from Leng Yihang's hands, and then quickly flew away in the dark of the night. When Hong Zhong saw this, she became anxious, and pulled out the flame from Wu Shang's waist, throwing it into the night sky, she quickly chased after the black-clothed man.
Seeing that the two of them had left, Leng Yihang decided to not bother with them anymore. With the Black Gold Broken Blade in his hand, he turned and left.
He was Leng Yihang, here for the mission he was supposed to receive, and his mission was only to take the infantry chart out of the Palace of South Qi.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, something like a black bell at his waist suddenly released a low buzzing sound. Leng Yihang frowned, this sound was Hong Zhong blowing that whistle!
The Mo Yu Sou on Hong Zhong's neck and the Mo Yu Bell on his waist were one.
As long as the Ink Jade Sentinel was blown, the Ink Jade Bell would emit a buzzing sound in response.
Sighing slightly, he chased after Hong Zhong and Yue Shan helplessly.
Hong Zhong took his Polygonum multiflorum Thunb and chased after the black-clothed man. Just as she was about to catch up, she waved her jade arm and the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb rushed towards the black-clothed man along with the sound of the wind.
The black clothed man moved slightly, easily dodging the attack, then extended his hand, grabbing the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb in his hand. His face was cold, his eyes filled with killing intent, as he looked straight at Hong Zhong.
Sometimes, when a person's heart contained something they cared about, it would make them forget to be afraid. In Hong Zhong's heart, the importance of that infantry chart had already far surpassed their own lives, so even when facing the ice-cold aura of the black clothed person, they were not afraid in the slightest.
He also had a cold expression and his aura was not any weaker than the man in black.
After that, Leng Yihang rushed over and saw the two of them staring at each other. He suddenly had a feeling that he hadn't had a chance in 12 years, this woman was just as difficult to deal with as Baili Mingyue.
Just now, when Hong Zhong was tracking the black-clothed man, she blew the Mo Yuying whistle on her neck. In her heart, she guessed that Leng Yihang would catch up very soon, and it was as she had expected. Hearing Leng Yihang's voice as he landed, Hong Zhong was the first to speak. "Leng Yihang, this is your chance to save him.
Hearing that, Leng Yihang's eyes still did not have a single ripple, causing people to not be able to tell whether he agreed or not, but the black clothed man was the first to speak: "Leng Yihang, your mission this time was to help me obtain the infantry chart, you are not thinking of reneging on your promise are you?"
When Leng Yihang heard this, his ice-cold eyes slightly narrowed. Bringing with him a trace of dangerous information, a voice that was like an asura from hell resounded: "My mission is to only take care of it."
As he said that, the Black Gold Broken Blade flashed with a cold light. It seemed that she was going to attack!
Seeing this, the man in black narrowed his eyes, as if he felt a sense of danger. Didn't the martial arts world say that Leng Yihang speaks the most about credibility, so why are you smashing your own reputation! " He just couldn't understand why Hong Zhong saying something like "a lifesaving opportunity, if it's you who's taking back the infantry chart" could cause the usually extremely reputable Leng Yihang to fall out so quickly!
Hearing that, Leng Yihang swept a cold glance over him: "I have already given you the infantry chart, whether or not you can keep it, will depend on your own ability." As he said that, a strong gust of wind blew around Leng Yihang.
When the black-clothed man saw this, his expression changed.
Although he knew that he was no match for Leng Yihang, in order to complete the mission that his master had given him, he had no choice but to use his full strength to deal with it.
Wave after wave of astral winds swept past Hong Zhong's head.
As Hong Zhong looked at the situation in front of her, she was glad that she brought Leng Yihang's whistle. Otherwise, with her insignificant strength, stealing the infantry chart from the hands of the black clothed man would be a dream!
Just as he was thinking, a scattered stream of air flew towards Hong Zhong, seeing this, Hong Zhong quickly used her movement technique and retreated.
As she retreated, she bumped into a warm embrace. Turning her head, she met Baili Mingyue's eyes that were as beautiful as moonlight. Baili Mingyue supported Hong Zhong and saw that she seemed to be fine, so she felt at ease.
Seeing the two people fighting over there, although he did not know why they were fighting, he did not think too much about it. He gathered his inner Qi and flew towards the two people fighting over there.
These two people, to be able to do anything to the girl, must be related to the infantry chart s being stolen. Then, don't even think about leaving!
In an instant, the fight between the two had turned into three people.
For some unknown reason, when Baili Mingyue arrived, Hong Zhong felt an indescribable sense of security. Her previous worry was also gone, so she seriously watched the three of them fighting.
Tilting his head, he realized that it was Baili Yi Chen.
