All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

When Li Chengze saw Si Lili arrive, he smiled and said, "If Miss Lili had poured the tea herself, this cup wouldn't have cracked."

What he didn't know was that this cup of tea would crack no matter who served it.

"It's a pity that Miss Lili is so favored by Uncle Yongwang that I dare not let her serve me tea or water."

Si Lili bowed and said, "Your Highness is too kind. I am already grateful that Prince Yong does not hold a grudge against me."

Li Chengze replied, "When Uncle Yong saw your expression that night, he must have been tempted. I would never be wrong."

Si Lili smiled bitterly to herself; she had no idea what she meant to Li Chang'an.

Let's say they were lovers. Li Chang'an has been back in the capital for so long, but he hasn't come to see her once.

They weren't exactly lovers, but their relationship was just short of crossing that line, especially with the explicit poems Li Chang'an had given her.

Because Si Lili was betrayed by Shen Zhong, she had no choice but to work for the Princess. She didn't know when she might lose her head, so she didn't have the mind to think too much about it.

"I am deeply grateful to Your Highness for taking care of me all these years. Ruowei and the others' business was also boosted by Your Highness. I am extremely grateful!"

Si Lili knew that Li Chengze wanted to win over his uncle, Prince Yong, to help him seize the throne, which was why he took care of her.

Li Chengze pointed out incisively, "I'm only doing you a favor because of your uncle, Prince Yong."

"If you ever become Prince Yong's concubine, remember to whisper sweet nothings in my ear."

"Miss Lili is the second most beautiful woman on the Langya List. Uncle Yong will only be back in the capital for two or three months. He'll remember you someday, I promise you!"

"Alright, I dare not ask you to accompany me. Go back quickly. Ruowei will take care of you here."

After thanking her again, Si Lili returned to her small building.

Fan Xian's whereabouts have already been revealed to the Eldest Princess. After Fan Xian's assassination, Ruo Wei will inevitably be suspected sooner or later, and Si Lili should also prepare for her future.

This is a perfect opportunity to escape, completely break free from the control of Li Yunrui's faction, and return to the side of the young emperor of Northern Qi.

She and the young emperor Zhan Doudou grew up together and have an extraordinary bond. Going back would still give her a chance to survive.

Niulan Street.

Old Zhang and Old Zhao drove the carriage, and Fan Xian, dressed in new clothes, was not happy sitting inside.

Although he won the title of Junior Martial Arts Champion and was soon able to meet the Emperor, he encountered even more misfortunes.

First, he was attacked by palace maids, and on the very first day, he faced a lawsuit and ruined his reputation. He also made a fool of himself at the poetry gathering.

Winning the martial arts championship is a good thing, but losing to Lin Wan'er yesterday and hearing her resolute words was a big blow to him.

If Emperor Qing's intention to bestow a marriage had not changed, he would have wanted to return directly to Danzhou.

He suddenly realized that Kyoto was still too dangerous. He had unknowingly been drawn into the struggle for the throne. Although Lin Wan'er was beautiful, he seemed completely out of reach of her.

"Old Zhao, are we almost there?"

Old Zhao replied, "It's not far, Niulan Street is just ahead."

Fan Xian poked his head out of the lathe and glanced at the deserted street.

"This Niulan Street is really quiet."

Old Zhao was very familiar with Kyoto, so he acted as a guide. "There aren't many houses here, but there are quite a few dilapidated shops, so it's also called the 'Dilapidated Shop Gate'."

"There are almost no people here during the day, and even fewer at night, making it the perfect place to ambush someone."

Old Zhang turned around and said, "Young master, if any fool offends you, you can ambush them here tonight and beat them up!"

Fan Xian chuckled, "I've already beaten up Ye Ling'er, and I wouldn't dare hit the second young master of the Lin family."

"If I could, I'd like to beat up Guo Baokun!"

"Although he tried his best to help me, things he helped me with always ended up leaving me feeling embarrassed and humiliated. It was really bad luck!"

Old Zhang agreed, saying, "Brothers are brothers, but if it's time to ambush someone, we should!"

The three chatted and laughed as the carriage slowly entered Niulan Street.

At this moment, four assassins in tight-fitting clothes quietly leaped onto the walls on both sides of Niulan Street.

All four were assassins from the Northern Qi, each wielding a military-grade bow, and they all drew their bows and fired arrows almost simultaneously!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Fan Xian was the first to hear the sound of an arrow piercing the air, and his expression immediately changed drastically!

"Watch out for arrows!"

Before he could even finish speaking, four arrows were already upon him!

Old Zhang and Old Zhao drew their swords and each cut off one arrow, but two more still shot towards Old Zhang!

"Pfft!"

Two sharp sounds of weapons piercing flesh followed, and two arrows had already pierced Old Zhang's chest!

Old Zhang narrowly escaped being shot in the heart, but he still collapsed from his injuries.

Fan Xian had just climbed out of the carriage when he saw another volley of arrows hurtling through the air!

He picked up Old Zhang's knife, and together with Old Zhao, they struggled to deflect the two arrows.

“Knock! Knock!”

Two more muffled thuds followed, and two more arrows pinned Old Zhang, who had fallen to the ground, to the spot!

Blood gushed out instantly; Old Zhang had been struck twice in the heart by arrows, and blood flowed all over the ground!

"Old Zhang!"

Fan Xian was both shocked and furious; the two volleys of arrows from these assassins were actually aimed at Old Zhang.

If there's an assassination attempt, it must be aimed at him!

Just as Old Zhang was about to die, the four assassins in tight-fitting clothes all took to the air and shot arrows at Old Zhao!

"Old Zhao, watch out!"

Old Zhao also noticed something was wrong. Based on his years of military experience, he immediately realized that this was a feint attack.

"Young master, watch out for the ground!"

As they spoke, the horses had already triggered the ramming ropes, and a huge siege crossbow was instantly activated!

Three spear-like siege arrows have already been fired at the carriage!

These are siege weapons!

Fan Xian, recognizing the sound, ducked back into the carriage, dodging the powerful crossbow bolt aimed at him.

The three powerful crossbow bolts flew with such force that they pierced through the robust horse!

The horses and carriages, propelled by tremendous force, crashed into the wall on the side of the street!

"Boom!"

As Fan Xian fell into the wall, an iron fist suddenly emerged and smashed a large hole in the wall!

The iron fist instantly opened into a giant hand, pulling Fan Xian into the wall!

Chapter 79: Kyoto Alert Shocks All! Xing Yusen Breaks Through to the Ninth Rank!

A thick arm burst out of the wall, smashing through the wall and the carriage, and grabbed Fan Xian's neck.

Fan Xian was swept away by the immense force, his entire body crashing through the thick wall before slamming heavily into the courtyard behind it.

He felt a sudden pain all over his body as he watched a nine-foot-tall, bald giant walk toward him!

Outside the wall that Fan Xian smashed through, Old Zhao, with two arrows embedded in his body, roared with bloodshot eyes!

"Cheng Jushu, come at me!"

He and Fan Xian finally understood that the four assassins' hard bows were meant to kill the two guards.

Siege crossbows and Cheng Jushu are the real weapons to deal with Fan Xian!

"Master, please leave!"

Old Zhao roared and charged at Cheng Jushu with his knife!

"Crack!"

Cheng Jushu grabbed Lao Zhao by the throat, and then four arrows shot out at the same time, instantly turning Lao Zhao into a hedgehog!

The four assassins landed on the ground, slung their hard bows over their shoulders, drew their steel knives, and slowly walked towards Fan Xian!

Cheng Jushu, a monster at the peak of the eighth rank, and four assassins at the upper seventh rank were only three zhang away from Fan Xian, who had fallen to the ground!

When Fan Xian saw these five enemies, he was filled with despair!

He could only handle two of the seventh-rank assassins at most at the same time. Now there are four assassins, and there is also Cheng Jushu, who is at the peak of the eighth rank!

"Hehehe..."

Looking at Old Zhao lying in a pool of blood, Fan Xian couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

If he survives, he will definitely kill the mastermind behind the assassination with his own hands!

Prince!
