"I'm going to the Pure Silk Temple. I have something to do."
"Pure Silk Temple? That far? " Qi Xiaoze looked worried. "It's definitely not an accident that you encountered an assassination on the way. Someone deliberately attacked you. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll escort you there."
Wei Ziyao was not the kind of idiot who would puff herself up at her own cost. She knew that nothing was more important than her life, so she agreed to Qi Xiaoze's suggestion.
On the way to the Pure Silk Temple, Wei Ziyao asked Ki Chien-chul, "Senior Apprentice Brother, can you tell what kind of martial arts those people used?"
"I can't tell the specifics, but it looks like the evolution of the Poison Immortal Cult's techniques. The key is that the Poison Immortal Cult is too mysterious. Even Master doesn't know much about their techniques, so I can't be sure."
Qi Xiaoze answered while Wei Ziyao fell into deep thought. "Even you can't see through their martial arts. I'm afraid that someone deliberately raised a group of death warriors who have never shown themselves before."
"That's possible." Qi Xiaoze nodded. "It's just … who could be so calm as to hide such elite assassins until now?"
"It's difficult to hide such a group of elites, but what if there's a purpose? These people must only show up at a certain time. In other words, these people may have been specially trained for a certain matter. "
"A certain matter? A certain time? "
Qi Xiaoze felt that his junior apprentice sister's words were getting more and more profound.
But what surprised him even more was his junior apprentice sister's martial arts.
She really had a hard time dealing with those assassins just now. If he did not save her, she would probably die.
But if he asked himself, even he would have a hard time dealing with those powerful assassins.
"Is it that hard to think about?" Wei Ziyao looked at Qi Xiaoze. "Isn't it obvious what's going on recently?"
"What's going on recently … Crown Prince!?" Qi Xiaoze grew up outside of the power struggle, but he wasn't stupid. With Wei Ziyao's reminder, he quickly understood what Wei Ziyao meant.
"That's right. This group of people is most likely raised to fight for the throne."
"But now that Imperial Father has already appointed Fourth Prince as the Crown Prince, is there any meaning to these fights? Besides, if Fourth Brother is appointed, it means that Sixth Brother is no longer a threat. Why would they still target you? "
"Senior Brother, with such a pure heart like yours, no matter what happens in the future, it's best that you don't leave the military camp."
Wei Ziyao was not looking down on him. "Since ancient times, the struggle for power has always been dirty."
Qi Minghao was obviously not going to be the Crown Prince for long. Although he didn't want to say it out loud, he was an abandoned pawn.
On the contrary, after Qi Minghao ascended to the throne, the situation in the court became more turbulent.
As for who exactly raised this wave of powerful opponents, Wei Ziyao really had a hard time. She couldn't figure it out.
This was because the current few Royal Highness were all carefree youths who had no interest in the throne.
It was normal for there to be someone with deep thoughts among these people. However, to be able to hide for so long, he was quite capable.
Because there were assassins, the two of them didn't dare to delay on the road, fearing that there would be more ambushes.
However, while people could go without rest, horses couldn't. Especially Qi Xiaoze's horse. He had been rushing all the way back from his mission, and the horse was quickly overloaded.
Fortunately, there was a dilapidated temple not far ahead.
The two of them dismounted to rest. However, before they entered the temple, they could vaguely smell the scent of blood.
Obviously, the two of them had noticed this. The two of them looked at each other, and their expressions became vigilant.
Qi Xiaoze blocked Wei Ziyao behind him, indicating that she should wait outside while he went in to take a look.
Wei Ziyao nodded, and Qi Xiaoze went in first.
Just as he entered, he saw the people in the temple and was shocked. He was really shocked.
