Chapter 633 Assassin Invasion
Chapter 633 Assassin Invasion
The Northern Liang Royal Palace covers an area of 3,000 mu, which is almost one-third of the size of the Northern Liang City!
Three thousand acres may not seem like much, but the difference becomes apparent when compared to the imperial city.
It should be noted that the imperial city only covers an area of 1,000 mu, while the Northern Liang Prince's Palace is three times larger than the imperial city.
Although the large area is mainly due to the inclusion of huge ponds and hills, the fact that it is larger than the imperial palace is enough to constitute a standard of usurpation.
However, as everyone knows, as long as the Northern Liang doesn't openly raise its flag in rebellion, the royal family won't dare to say much.
The palace was filled with carved beams and painted rafters, and was resplendent in gold and jade. Xu Xiao was a vulgar man who only needed gold, silver and jade, so his palace was extremely luxurious. Gold leaf and jade discs were everywhere. It could be said that even the threshold was inlaid with gold, making it look like a nouveau riche.
On the contrary, Xu Fengnian's courtyard, because His Highness the Crown Prince is a refined and witty person, was not filled with gold and silver jewelry, but with all kinds of elegant items.
The calligraphy and stone tablets of great Confucian scholars from a thousand years ago, the red flowers and green willows of Jiangnan, and the royal treasures of various countries in the past, although they may not seem as dazzling as the prince's, are actually much more valuable than Xu Xiao's.
"Princess, when are we going to run away?"
Yu Youwei, holding her cat, advised Jiang Ni.
With Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian both away from home, the entire Xu mansion is practically managed by just a few stewards. In Yu Youwei's view, this is definitely the best time to escape.
She was just a captured maid and naturally had no authority. It could be said that Yu Youwei was not allowed to go anywhere except Xu Fengnian's courtyard. But Jiang Ni was different!
It can be said that everyone in the Xu family knows that Jiang Ni is Xu Fengnian's darling. If it weren't for her status, she would definitely have become Xu Fengnian's wife.
Even though Jiang Ni is just a maid now, she will definitely become Xu Fengnian's concubine. If Xu Fengnian ascends the throne, Jiang Ni might become the empress!
Although Xu Xiao constantly proclaimed his loyalty to the emperor and his country, everyone from the steward to the soldiers and maids knew that if the prince were to raise the call to rebellion, everyone in Beiliang would follow without hesitation, and the prince becoming the crown prince would be a matter of course!
Therefore, Jiang Ni was practically a high-ranking leader in Beiliang. The waist token in his hand could not only directly mobilize thousands of troops, but also allow him to move freely throughout Beiliang.
In Yu Youwei's opinion, as long as Jiang Ni wanted to run away, the two of them could use their waist tokens to escape directly. No matter where they went, it would be better than staying here as maids, right?
"Why should I run? I'm waiting for him to come back!"
Jiang Ni said nonchalantly that her relationship with Xu Fengnian had already reached the point of being willing to die for each other, and she would never run away!
"Princess, what are you doing!"
Yu Youwei was speechless. The Xu family father and son were the enemies who destroyed the Western Chu! How many people from Western Chu died at their hands back then? And now the princess was single-mindedly trying to become Xu Fengnian's concubine. This was simply absurd.
Honestly, if she hadn't known that the other party was the only remaining member of the royal bloodline of Western Chu, Yu Youwei would have wanted to kill her on the spot. This kind of person who has no sense of national duty is a disgrace to women.
Will you die without a man or something?
"There are assassins!"
"Catch assassins!"
Suddenly, screams erupted outside, accompanied by a rumbling sound.
"An assassin? Great!"
Yu Youwei was so excited she almost jumped up. There were actually assassins coming to the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion to assassinate him, and judging from the commotion, the enemy seemed quite powerful, which made her very excited.
On average, the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion was assassinated every three days, but most of the assassins were eliminated as soon as they entered the mansion, and many did not even make a ripple.
But this assassin was clearly a top-tier expert, because Yu Youwei heard the noise outside growing louder and louder, even the ground seemed to be shaking. "Princess! Let's go! Now's the perfect time—"
She turned to pull Jiang Ni away, only to find that Princess Xi Chu had already disappeared.
"Princess?"
Yu Youwei suddenly turned around and realized that Jiang Ni had already run away at some point.
Why is she running?
Yu Youwei rushed out to look for someone, but before she could run two steps, she saw a figure fall from the sky.
"Is your name Yu Youwei?"
Li Qingyuan looked at the beautiful woman in the crimson ruqun in front of him. She was holding a large cat that weighed more than ten kilograms in her arms, and she had to hunch her back slightly because of the heavy load.
The saying goes that a woman whose toes are hidden from view is considered an absolute beauty, but this girl is more than just hidden from view; you could probably hardly see anything below her chest!
No wonder she's called "Milk Armor" (a nickname for a female celebrity). With this level of talent, she could probably make a very difficult debut even in Japan someday.
"I am not a member of the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion!"
Yu Youwei quickly said that she had already recognized who the guy in front of her was.
Ultraman!
Ultraman's fearsome reputation has spread throughout the country, and Yu Youwei is naturally familiar with him.
Where is the ginger paste?
"Princess—no! Jiang Ni isn't here!"
Yu Youwei let slip the secret. She looked at the man in front of her with some fear. Although she was happy that he had come to cause trouble for the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, she began to worry about herself and Jiang Ni when she thought of his illustrious reputation.
After all, Ultraman's reputation doesn't seem to be much better than that of the Xu family father and son.
"Take me to the Listening to the Tide Pavilion!"
The Prince's mansion is in complete chaos, with thousands of maids running around everywhere. The reason they were able to find Yu Youwei earlier was purely because of her exceptional talent and her running around and shouting in the courtyard. Jiang Ni, on the other hand, had obviously hidden herself away in a secluded place.
Unless he can search the entire Northern Liang royal palace, finding Jiang Ni who is hiding is truly an impossible task.
So, having no other choice, Li Qingyuan decided to go to Tingchao Pavilion to maximize the benefits of this attack.
While destroying the six kingdoms, Xu Xiao also annihilated many sects in the martial arts world. He then piled all the secret manuals of those sects in Tingchao Pavilion. It can be said that Tingchao Pavilion is now almost like a library in the martial arts world, collecting most of the martial arts manuals and insights into mental techniques.
Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed, right?
Besides, that beauty who's supposedly number one on the Rouge Ranking, what's her name, Nangong Pushe? Isn't she in Tingchao Pavilion?
Since we can't find Jiang Ni right now, it's a good idea to go find Minister Nangong first.
