Adoption brings disaster

It is said that in this martial arts world, those with great martial arts skills may not live long, but those who are cruel and can escape quickly will definitely live long.

Look, nine out of the twelve thieves in Longxi died, and the remaining three escaped by water without hesitation, regardless of who came. With such courage, it is no wonder that they could wreak havoc on the Beishang martial arts world for decades.

When I saw these three people escape, I didn't intend to let them go, but I had been poisoned by the Pure Yang Grass, and I was also hurt by the Gu of the Human King of Hell just now.

In this condition, his current strength is less than 50% at most. Even if he really faces the three seriously injured people, he will not gain any advantage.

It wouldn't matter if I just suffered some losses. After all, I can rely on the White Rat Magical Skill to hold them back. Although I may not be their opponent, I am here now. The people from the escort agency and Prince Yong's Mansion must be nearby. As long as I can hold them back long enough, there is no way they can escape.

But I can't swim. Although I was extremely angry and wanted to cut them into pieces, I had no way to stop them from escaping through water. I could only watch them escape.

I was blaming myself, but then I heard a familiar voice in the distance, shouting, "Who's fighting here under the Emperor's feet? Are you really tired of living?"

I heard someone, a member of the imperial court, and this person was full of energy and must be very powerful. He also hurriedly shouted: "I am Qianqiu Qing. I encountered thieves today. I beg for help, sir. Don't let these thieves escape. I will reward you handsomely when you enter the capital."

You are a rich and idle person. You have money but no power. People respect you on the surface, but look down on you behind your back.

It’s okay in Beijing. After all, there are so many eyes watching. Not only for my own good reputation, but also for the face of the royal family, I have to coax her well.

Even if I want to punish you, I have to use a soft knife. We are in the wilderness, and even if I have His Royal Highness Prince Yong's backing, I can only speak politely.

Just as I was about to bow and ask for help, a burly man suddenly appeared at my feet. He hugged my legs and cried, "Your Highness Qianqiu, please help us."

It is said that this big man is very scary. Not only does he have a strong build and a fierce look, but his face is also covered with a beard. The beard is so thick that his appearance cannot be seen. There is also a scar on his face that runs through the entire face, which looks very scary.

These are nothing, but what is even more frightening is that this big guy hugged your legs and cried bitterly. I looked at his aggrieved eyes and felt like I saw a ghost. I wanted to kick him away.

The big man hugged my legs tightly and cried even louder. Then he flew out and knocked down several big trees before he stopped.

I looked at my legs in disbelief. My martial arts skills are so powerful now. Could it be that I was stimulated by the death of Hero Li and opened up my Ren and Du meridians?

"Don't touch Qianqiu with your stinky claws, or I'll chop off your claws." A handsome young man next to me said with a murderous look on his face.

The voice sounded so familiar, and the figure was even more familiar. I looked closely and felt extremely happy. The person who came turned out to be my eldest son, His Royal Highness Prince Yong.

I also suffered some hardships in the martial arts world, not to mention the hunger and fullness along the way, and the many times I used the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed.

Even the woman in red and the Twelve Thieves of Longxi, who were extremely vicious, almost scared me to death. Now that I saw my grown-up son, I couldn't hold back my tears and started to sob.

The escort leader knew that now was not the time to dwell on past grievances, so he struggled to his feet and said, "Your Highness, please stop them! They want to harm Your Highness Qianqiu, so we can't let them go."

The twelve thieves from Longxi are treacherous and cunning and have committed many evil deeds. If they are allowed to escape, they will definitely cause endless harm.

When I heard this, I also hurriedly shouted, "Yes, yes, yes, they are the Twelve Bandits of Longxi. Quickly kill them and rid the people of this harm."

"The Twelve Thieves of Longxi." The burly man came over and rubbed his chin and muttered, "How did you get involved with them?"

What the big man said was interesting. It seemed like they wanted to kill me, but it was my fault. I said angrily, "What do you mean I provoked them? They wanted to use my head to make a comeback."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of His Royal Highness Prince Yong, who had been kind, immediately turned icy. He shouted, "This kind of evil absolutely cannot be allowed to stay. General Lu, go and find out about them. Don't let any of them escape."

"Your Highness Qianqiu." General Lu gave me a pitiful look and said, "You have to make the decision for us."

After saying this, he was about to lead his soldiers to surround and kill the three people in the river.

"Brother, hurry up and leave." The eight people who were originally hit by the sword energy of the hero Li stood up with difficulty and stood in front of General Lu.

General Lu stared at them coldly, as if he were looking at dead people, his hand on the hilt of the knife, ready to rush forward and kill a few of them.

"General Lu, be careful. Many of the Twelve Bandits in Longxi have evil magic. Don't engage in close combat with them. It's safest to shoot them with arrows." The escort leader reminded again.

However, these eight people did not give General Lu this opportunity. They all used their powerful abilities to self-destruct, instantly dyeing the river surface red. A moment later, the river surface was completely covered with the floating corpses of fish and shrimp.

"Alas, they still ran away." The escort leader walked over tremblingly and said unwillingly.

"How could they escape? They were just in the river. I asked people to search along the river and we always found clues. The Death Detective is in Beijing. As long as we have any clues, they can't escape." General Lu said.

These people were able to escape from the hands of King Zhenbei, so their ability to escape must be first-rate. Now that we have lost their trace, it would be extremely difficult to investigate them. Moreover, it is a turbulent time now, so it would not be good to cause a big fuss.

Although I wanted to chop them into pieces, I still said, "Forget it. These are troubled times. Let's not worry about these dying people. It's better to return to the capital quickly. It won't be too late to deal with them after the overall situation is settled."

"Father is absolutely right. They are just three pieces of dry bones in a tomb. Once the situation in the capital is settled, it will be easy to catch them." His Royal Highness Prince Yong also agreed.

When General Lu saw that I had spoken to His Royal Highness Prince Yong, he naturally had nothing else to say. After a short rest, he headed towards the capital. No more mention was made.

"Your Highness Qianqiu, you have to make the decision for us." General Lu said again, ignoring the murderous look in His Highness Prince Yong's eyes.

Judging from Chongguang's expression, I was afraid that he didn't want me to get involved in this matter, but General Lu had said it several times, so I couldn't ignore him.

He also smiled and said, "I am just a rich and idle man. I can make the decision for you if there is anything. If you really have any grievances, wouldn't it be better to let Guang'er make the decision for you?"

"Your Highness Prince Yong is omnipotent, but this matter is special. It's not convenient for His Highness to make the decision for us. We can only ask Your Highness Qianqiu to make the decision for us." General Lu said, feeling like he was about to cry, "Your Highness Qianqiu, please have mercy on us."

"You're howling. It's so annoying to listen to. Shut up." His Royal Highness Prince Yong cursed viciously.

However, General Lu was determined not to give up until he achieved his goal. He pretended not to hear the scolding from His Royal Highness Prince Yong, and just kept wailing in our ears, asking us to make the decision for him.

It is said that a burly general is begging you to make decisions for him like a young wife. The destructive power is really great.

General Lu howled for a long time, and I got tired of listening to him. I could only say, "Tell me what's going on first, and then I'll see if I can help you. If you don't tell me, I don't know what it is, so how can I help you? Don't you think this makes sense?"

His Royal Highness Prince Yong glanced at General Lu coldly, then looked at me and said, "The Emperor's health has been poor recently, and the situation in the capital is turbulent. It would be best for Qianqiu not to get involved."

"From what you said, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did something?" The battle for the throne is the most cruel. Not to mention a small noble like me, even if you were a real prince, you would deserve to die if you got involved in this matter.

I had already decided not to get involved, but General Lu didn't give me the chance. He quickly dismounted to hold my horse. He looked like he was going to cry, make a fuss, or even hang himself if I didn't help him.

General Lu said flatteringly, "We are all rough men. We are good at fighting and doing practical things, but we are no match for those poor people in playing tricks."

I didn't want to get involved in this anymore, so I didn't respond and just let General Lu talk on his own.

General Lu added, "If they had just scolded us or tried to trip us up, that would have been fine, but to rob and kill an official of the imperial court on the way is truly intolerable."

"Killing an imperial official on the road?" I was also extremely shocked when I heard this.

But General Lu's words were wrong. I immediately realized and said, "You want me to make the decision for you. I guess you don't have sufficient evidence in this matter."

General Lu's face turned even more bitter when he heard this. He said, "Your Highness Qianqiu is absolutely right. If we had evidence, we would have reported it to His Majesty long ago. Why would we endure this for nothing?"

I had no choice but to get involved in this matter, and asked again: "Even the Death Detective in Beijing couldn't find any evidence?"

His Royal Highness Prince Yong said, "This is a case of hiring a killer. Even if we ask the detectives to investigate, it will be difficult to find conclusive evidence in a short period of time. Now my father's health is getting worse day by day. Alas."

This is the second time today that I have heard His Royal Highness Prince Yong say that the Emperor is in poor health. I think the Emperor's health has reached a very bad state. I am afraid that all the movements in the capital at this time are for that purpose.

"Even if someone hired someone to kill someone, how can you be sure that it was done by someone from the prince's side?" I asked cautiously.

"Alas." His Royal Highness Prince Yong sighed, "This news was brought back by someone close to the Crown Prince. It's absolutely correct. General Lu and I left the capital at this time to protect that person, but we didn't expect to be a step too late."

General Lu then explained their deployment to me in detail, and it was flawless.

On the surface, elite soldiers will join the escort when passing through each city, and the road will be cleared five days in advance to deal with all suspicious persons.

On the surface, it was a huge effort, and in secret it took even more effort.

There was a pick-up every five miles. Except for those who went forward to investigate, all the other pick-up people joined the escort team. When they arrived at the place where they were killed, there were already three thousand elite guards escorting them in public and more than a thousand secret guards in secret.

But that man was killed right under the eyes of more than 4,000 people. Not to mention that it was inconvenient for a gangster killer to deal with court officials, even with this kind of guard lineup, it was definitely impossible for him to have omnipotent abilities, so it was wishful thinking for him to want to kill a court official.

To be able to kill an imperial official silently in public, he must be no unknown person. I asked again, "Do you know who did it?"

"There are many strange people in the martial arts world. Although we have some guesses, we can't be sure yet. We returned to Beijing this time to ask the master detective to come out and find out who did it. No matter what, we have to give an explanation to our brothers." General Lu said.

"I think I know who did it." said the escort leader.

When General Lu heard this, he hurriedly asked the escort leader to explain in detail.

The escort leader said, "Ten years ago, the Thousand Killers Organization emerged. They were able to make such a big name because of two brothers. The younger brother killed everyone, and the older brother killed everyone. These two brothers are highly skilled in martial arts, and their assassination skills are unparalleled in the world. They are also good at disguise, which makes them impossible to defend against. In three years, the two brothers killed 999 people. They spread the word in the martial arts world that they would kill the King of Zhenbei and raise 1,000 people to complete the name of Thousand Killers."

"You assassinated my grandfather. You really don't know how to write the word death." His Royal Highness Prince Yong said disdainfully.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. The Zhenbei King's martial arts are unparalleled in the world. These two brats are ignorant of their own limitations and are extremely arrogant. They even dared to come and assassinate my brother alone."

The escort leader said sneerily, "Of course, he died at the hands of the prince. Although the assassination attempt failed, no one dares to underestimate this assassin organization anymore."

"What do you mean?" I asked puzzledly.

"At that time, Du Kesha disguised himself as the King of Zhenbei and entered the central army camp right under the noses of 200,000 Northern Border soldiers. This method alone is enough to make him proud of himself, but Du Kesha actually withstood a hundred blows from the King of Zhenbei, and finally resorted to self-harm to injure the King of Zhenbei."

"Being able to injure the King of Zhenbei is enough to make you famous throughout the world."

"However, the failure of this assassination attempt has caused the Thousand Killings Organization to go dormant. They have not been well-known in recent years. It is normal that you gentlemen are unaware of them."

"Your defense is so tight, only such a master could have succeeded in the assassination. The two assassinations were almost identical. It can almost be concluded that the murderer is Wubusha." I said to myself.

"Although this is a court dispute, its roots lie in the martial arts world. General Lu, give me a list and I'll find a way to vent your anger."

After hearing this, General Lu's face was broken with laughter, while Chongguang looked at me with a heavy heart and some worry.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. Besides, they broke the rules first, so they should be given a warning."

After hearing this, Prince Yong said nothing, but rushed towards the capital. He arrived in the capital in half a day. No more mention is made of this.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
