Chapter 211 Escort
After the emperor finished offering incense, he looked at the Buddha statue and wondered, "If gods and Buddhas exist, how do they exist? Do they also practice cultivation?"
"If you have Buddha in your heart, you are Buddha." The host gave a seemingly plausible explanation.
The emperor sneered and didn't ask any more questions. However, he was still curious. Since the fairy said that she would not participate in the cause and effect of the human world, did she really participate in the cause and effect?
With these thoughts in mind, the emperor dismissed everyone including the host.
The Imperial Master outside looked like a middle-aged man with an air of immortality, dressed in a Bagua Taoist robe and holding a whisk. He had white hair and a youthful face, and seemed to have some skills.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" the abbot asked the imperial teacher.
"I don't know." The national teacher was also surprised.
His Majesty suddenly kicked them all out, and I don't know why. Could he be doing something in there that he doesn't know about?
But soon, the emperor came out.
"Your Majesty." The Imperial Preceptor hurried forward and bowed, then asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any doubts in your mind?" He was wondering if Your Majesty was worried about something they didn't know.
"Nothing." The emperor obviously didn't want to speak. He waved his hand and said, "Get going. It's inconvenient to stay outside the palace for too long."
"Yes."
The emperor's dragon chariot set off again.
The Imperial Master was not sure what he was thinking, but he felt that there was something about His Majesty that he didn't know. However, facing the emperor, he didn't dare to ask rashly.
After coming down from the Huguo Temple, the carriage suddenly stopped when it reached the foot of the mountain.
The emperor's figure swayed in the carriage, and he frowned and asked, "What's going on?" Didn't he say he would return to the palace quickly? Why are you lingering here?
"Protect the emperor! Come quickly, protect the emperor!"
Hearing the words "protect the emperor," the emperor sat up straight. His premonition when he came out was correct; something had indeed happened. He lifted the carriage curtain and looked out.
The guards around had already gathered around the carriage, each with their swords drawn, ready for battle.
Looking further away, he saw the corpses of the imperial guards all around. He frowned slightly, thinking that this time they had been prepared and even killed the imperial guards arranged along the way.
However, the emperor immediately connected all the events in his mind. Perhaps the words of the imperial preceptor and the host were just to lure him out of the palace. After all, it was difficult to take action against these rebels in the palace. So, the host and the imperial preceptor teamed up to trick him out, so that they could take action against him more easily.
But what on earth was General Zhao doing? He was killed by an assassin like this.
After the emperor came out, Lin Xuxi had been hiding in the dark and following. She had long been aware of the existence of these assassins, but she was hesitant about whether to help.
The emperor was blessed with good fortune, so nothing would happen this time. So she would just wait and see, and if anything unexpected happened, she would help.
"Your Majesty, there are assassins!" The chief eunuch was clearly panicking. He leaned against the carriage with his arms outstretched to protect it, and explained to the Majesty inside, "There are quite a few assassins, and they've even killed quite a few of the Imperial Guards."
"Where is General Zhao?" The emperor's voice was calm, without any panic.
"General Zhao is fighting with the assassin." The eunuch directed others to come and protect His Majesty while slowly moving forward to protect His Majesty.
The assassins were obviously prepared, and there were many archers lying in ambush in the woods.
Lin Xuxi saw the serious-looking general fighting with the man in black. She found that this man's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Prince Zhao. After counting with her fingers, she determined that this man was Prince Zhao's father.
He will die in this assassination to protect the emperor.
Lin Xuxi thought of the young man who was so unrestrained and carefree on horseback. She knew very well that if the general died, the Zhao family would be considered to have done a great job in protecting the emperor. If anything happened to the emperor, it would not be an exaggeration to execute the entire Zhao family.
"Could you lend me this fine horse for just one more day? My father loves horses, too. Would you mind letting him take my mother for a ride?"
This sentence somehow popped up in Lin Xuxi's mind. She hesitated, wondering if she should go up and help. The emperor would definitely not die, but this person might not.
Lin Xuxi decided to help, and took this opportunity to appear before the emperor. She wanted to save this old friend.
The emperor was now in his prime, and naturally felt that man could conquer nature, that he was the true dragon and emperor. But that was always the case. In his twilight years, facing the approaching death, could he still remain so calm?
impossible!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuxi raised her hand, grabbed a green leaf, and threw it towards the general.
The green leaves blocked an arrow that was heading towards his heart.
General Zhao was startled by the sudden helper and looked towards the direction where the green leaves were flying from, but his left arm was accidentally cut.
Lin Xuxi leaped from the shadows of the trees, slowly descending with the Thousand Machine Umbrella in her right hand. Using the umbrella to deflect the incoming sword, she lifted General Zhao by the collar with her left hand and, with a tap of her toes, lifted him up and flew over to the carriage.
"You, who are you!" General Zhao raised his sword and looked at the strange woman in front of him with caution. He leaned against His Majesty, ready to sacrifice himself to protect His Majesty if she made any move.
"Your Majesty knows who I am." Lin Xuxi said and looked at the carriage.
When the people in the carriage heard the voice, they immediately recognized who the other person was.
"I know." The person in the carriage spoke. The emperor was also curious about what that person looked like, so he lifted the curtain and looked outside. Sure enough, he saw a woman.
This woman's grace was unlike any mortal, she was dressed in violet and held a red umbrella. Needless to say, her appearance was truly beautiful, a beauty never before seen in the human world.
"Thank you for your trouble." The emperor nodded slightly, showing great courtesy.
Lin Xuxi turned around, unfazed by the assassins. She smiled and said, "No need." Then, she turned and flew away, draping the Thousand Chance Umbrella over her shoulder. She smiled and said, "If you would give me some respect, I will go back. I do not wish to commit murder, so please return."
What were they here for? They were here to kill people. How could they just leave so easily because of a few words from this woman? He raised his knife and slashed at Lin Xuxi.
In the eyes of the assassins, there is no such thing as women, children, the elderly or the young. Anyone who interferes with their assassination mission will be killed without mercy.
"Then I've offended you too." Lin Xuxi put away his smile, put away the Thousand Machine Umbrella to block the two chopped swords, raised his hand and kicked the two assassins away.
However, these people were a piece of cake for Lin Xuxi. Even if he didn't kill them, it would only take a few strikes, a piece of cake.
The emperor looked at the woman holding an umbrella in the crowd, and the saying really fits him: graceful as a startled swan and elegant as a flying dragon.
If she said she was a fairy, the emperor would believe her.
General Zhao was also surprised. Who was this woman? Her martial arts were so powerful that she could suppress more than a hundred death warriors and still survive.
"It's amazing." Even General Zhao saw it for the first time.
After Lin Xuxi finished dealing with all the assassins, she turned around and looked at the people in the carriage, holding an umbrella. When her eyes met with the emperor's, there was a tacit understanding in their eyes.
"Excuse me, who are you?" General Zhao stepped forward and bowed. He admired this woman very much.
