Chapter 30: Battle of Niulan Street, Si Lili is shot by an arrow

Li Chengping sat there, drinking tea leisurely, looking down at the bustling morning market in Kyoto.

Si Lili was fidgeting, and from time to time she walked to the window and glanced towards the city gate, as if she was worried about something.

"No need to look. The team escorting Cheng Jushu has entered the capital at that time." Li Chengping said calmly.

Si Lili's body visibly trembled slightly, so she pretended to be calm and returned to her seat.

The huge room was exceptionally quiet, and the two of them sat there without saying a word.

Li Chengping looked relaxed, drinking tea and reading books from time to time, looking particularly leisurely and natural.

Si Lili's brows were tense, and she sat there with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly.

There was a noise coming from the street below. Si Lili rushed to the window and looked towards the city gate.

I saw the Qing Kingdom's battle flag fluttering in the wind, smoke and dust billowing, and the escort team returning from afar with the prisoner car.

Si Lili's expression changed. She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and quickly ran to Li Chengping.

"Your Highness, let's go quickly, there will be a big battle here soon!"

"Nonsense! Today is the day when Cheng Jushu is escorted to the capital for trial. Could it be that someone dares to hijack the prison van?"

Li Chengping pretended to be surprised.

"Your Highness, this... How can you be sure of this? You are a noble person, so you should leave immediately!"

Si Lili's face was filled with anxiety.

"Why are you panicking? This is Kyoto City. Anyone who takes action here must be tired of living. Do you know something?"

Li Chengping turned his head, two rays of light flashing in his eyes.

In an instant, Si Lili felt as if she had been seen through. After hesitating for a moment, she fell to her knees.

"Your Highness, to be honest, Northern Qi's secret agents will be preparing an assassination here today. We should leave quickly while there is still time."

After saying this, Si Lili seemed to have all her strength drained away and she collapsed to the ground.

Originally, she thought that there would be a violent storm coming towards her, but unexpectedly, Li Chengping was not angry at all and reached out to help Si Lili up.

"Don't worry, I brought you here today just to watch this great show. The sound of horse hooves is getting closer, and the escort team is about to enter the street!"

Li Chengping smiled faintly and pulled Si Lili to the window.

At this time, Fan Xian led the escort team and just entered the Niulan Street.

Both sides were filled with people watching the fun.

Seeing Cheng Jushu appear, everyone became excited instantly and raised the rotten vegetable leaves and smelly tomatoes in their hands and threw them at him.

Facing the insults from the crowd, Cheng Jushu curled up in the prison van and did not move, as if he could not hear them.

suddenly.

A subtle "clang" sound was heard, and Cheng Jushu raised his eyelids.

A dark golden token appeared in the dirty prison van at some point.

When he saw this thing, a gleam of light flashed in Cheng Jushu's lifeless eyes.

He grabbed the token and put it in his arms, then quickly stood up, shaking the prison car hard, letting out a low roar.

The people around were shocked.

The huge roar caused many soldiers in the escort team to look back. Even Fan Xian, who was riding a horse in front of the team, turned back subconsciously.

"It's time to take action!" Li Chengping said to himself.

"How is it possible? There are so many people here. How can we start a fight at this time..."

Before Si Lili could finish her words, two sharp arrows shot from the darkness and directly hit the soldiers guarding on both sides of the prison car.

This sudden scene made Fan Xian stunned. Being inexperienced, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Fortunately, the leader's deputy reacted in time and shouted loudly.

"Someone is robbing a prisoner! Quick, guard the prison van, don't let the prisoner escape!"

The other soldiers came to their senses and were about to rush forward to protect the prisoner car, but before they could move forward, several more arrows were shot out.

Several of them were unable to dodge and fell to the ground after being shot by arrows.

The remaining stray arrows accidentally fell into the crowd, and several spectators died on the spot.

Suddenly, the scene was in chaos.

Someone in the noisy crowd threw a few cloth bags into the air, and arrows followed closely, piercing the bags.

"Bang bang bang!"

A muffled sound was heard and the cloth bag exploded on the spot. The lime powder inside scattered and fell, blocking the view of everyone at the scene.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen figures holding sharp swords rushed out from the white fog.

These people are distributed in an orderly manner.

Some people rushed towards the prison van, while others went straight to Fan Xian.

Third floor, attic.

Li Chengping stood at the window and watched everything. Judging from the sounds of weapons colliding and fighting in the smoke, the two sides had already started fighting.

Just as he was observing the situation with great interest, he suddenly sensed a murderous intent approaching.

The killer hiding on the second floor of the attic opposite pulled the trigger on his crossbow, and an arrow flew out, rushing in front of Li Chengping in the blink of an eye.

Just when she was about to succeed, Si Lili somehow got the strength from behind and pushed Li Chengping away.

"what!"

The arrow pierced the flesh, and Si Lili groaned and fell to the ground.

Li Chengping rushed forward, protecting Si Lili's heart with his sword energy, and called Zhao Gao and Wei Zhuang who were guarding outside the house.

Zhao Gao was shocked when he saw Si Lili lying on the ground with an arrow in her chest.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Li Chengping shook his head before he could speak.

Wei Zhuang glanced at him coldly, then jumped out of the window with the shark-tooth sword in hand.

A few seconds later, Wei Zhuang came back again with a bloody head in his hand.

"The person has been killed!"

The voice was cold, like black ice that had never melted.

Li Chengping nodded, his eyes fell on Si Lili, and under the protection of sword energy, he carefully pulled out the arrow from his chest.

Raise your hands to seal the surrounding acupuncture points to avoid excessive blood loss.

After the simple treatment was completed, Li Chengping lost interest in watching the fight and took Si Lili back to the palace.

Shortly after he left, the battle of Niulan Street ended.

The escort team suffered heavy casualties, and everyone except Fan Xian died.

Fan Xian sat alone on the street, holding Teng Zijing's body in his arms, his eyes red and tears welling up in his sockets.

Looking at the corpses lying around, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth for you!"

……

Such a major event caused a sensation throughout Kyoto.

royal palace.

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Qing was sitting in a chair in his white bathrobe, looking at the memorials in front of him with an extremely gloomy expression.

A prisoner kidnapping incident actually occurred in Kyoto City. This was clearly a provocation to the Qing Kingdom and the imperial power!

Fortunately, the prisoner was not taken away this time, otherwise the situation would be serious!
"Your Majesty, Dean Chen requests an audience!"

"Let him in!"

As the voice fell, the door of the imperial study slowly opened, and Chen Pingping pushed his wheelchair into the room.

Before he could open his mouth, Emperor Qing came up and scolded him.

"Chen Pingping, how did you manage to be the president of the Supervisory Council? There are so many Northern Qi spies hiding in Kyoto, and you haven't discovered them yet?"

"The fight lasted for a quarter of an hour, but the Overwatch Council didn't notice anything at all. How did you do that?!"
