Ming Xi watched indifferently as a few black-clothed men came in front of them and surrounded him and Xu Jinbei. The other customers of the Thousand Floor Tower were so frightened that they ran out in a panic. The shopkeeper they saw just now was nowhere to be seen.
"Kill!" One of the black-robed men said in a deep voice.
Xu Jinbei's face changed. "People from the Dark North Kingdom!"
The man in black did not speak the language of the Jin Nation, but with a thick accent of the Northern Dark Kingdom.
Those black clothed men did not give Xu Jinbei a chance to question them as they raised their swords and stabbed towards Ming Xi.
Fang Yanjun did not know martial arts.
Ming Xi retreated a few steps and Xu Jinbei helped him block the black clothed man.
He looked coldly at the moves of the black-clothed man. Each move was ruthless. It was obvious that he was a killer.
Xu Jinbei wasn't Fang Yanjun's opponent. If he made a move, people would immediately discover that he wasn't Fang Yanjun.
"Be careful." Ming Xi saw that Xu Jinbei was no match for so many black clothed men and was just about to make a move when Fire Phoenix and Shang'er finally returned.
"Xu Jinbei, are you okay?" Although Xu Jinbei had been practicing martial arts since he was young, his martial arts were for strengthening his body. He wasn't a match for these men in black, and he was already injured.
The black-clothed men did not even put Fire Phoenix and Shang'er in their eyes. In their eyes, these four youths were still children. No matter how good their martial arts were, they had been through hundreds of battles. Killing these children was as easy as flipping their hands.
"Who sent you? Teng Ye? "Ming Xi asked coldly as he supported Xu Jinbei.
"Hmph, death is at hand, so what if you know?" The black-clothed man sneered, ignoring Fire Phoenix and Shang'er as he forcefully shot the sword in his hand towards Ming Xi.
The black clothed man's inner strength was deep. This sword shot out was fast and accurate. He felt that no one would be able to block this sword.
Zheng —
There was a sound of Sword Qi as two little fingers gently clamped onto his sword.
What?
The man in black was stunned and stared at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
That seemingly delicate little girl actually easily blocked his sword, and she even used two fingers to lightly clamp it between her fingers …
"What a fragile sword," Shang'er said in a sweet voice. She exerted a little force with her fingers, and the sword between her fingers broke into two halves.
"…" Is this little girl even human?
Ming Xi indifferently looked at the black clothed man, "Go back and tell your master, if you want to kill me, you better send some decent people. Just a few third-rate killers like you won't be able to touch a single hair on my head."
Fire Phoenix asked, "Should we let them go?"
"Then play with them for a bit. Don't be too ruthless, or else they'll say we're bullying them." Ming Xi lightly said.
"Okay, if we don't play, they won't know how to explain it to them." Fire Phoenix grinned.
The black-clothed men were infuriated by their taunts and wanted nothing more than to tear the Fire Phoenix to shreds.
The Fire Phoenix giggled and teased them, making them unable to do anything to Ming Xi, but they couldn't do anything to him either. They could only chase after him and smash half of the Thousand Floor Tower.
"Are you okay?" Ming Xi asked Xu Jinbei softly.
"I'm fine. It's just a flesh wound. How about you?" Xu Jinbei shook his head. The Fire Phoenix had arrived in time, so his injuries were not serious.
Ming Xi said, "I'll bandage your wound."
"Why would someone want to kill you?" Xu Jinbei asked softly, "This is the Thousand Floor Tower, could it be ….."
"It might not be him." Ming Xi lightly shook his head. If it was Teng Ye, then he wouldn't choose to attack him in the Thousand Floor Tower. It should be Beitang Yu's people.
Xu Jinbei coldly said, "They spoke with a Dark North Kingdom accent, so they should be from the Dark North Kingdom. Could it be ….. Fang Rusheng? He has no enmity with us, so why would he do this? "
"Simple, he doesn't want Teng Ye to ally with the Fang Family." Ming Xi lightly said.
"Teng Ye hasn't been normal these past two days." Xu Jinbei said.
Ming Xi smiled, "He's still hesitating."
"Huo Er is back." Xu Jinbei said. This was the Thousand Floor Tower after all, so he didn't mention Teng Ye.
"Tie them up and throw them at the city gate." Fire Phoenix said to Ming Xi.
Ming Xi lightly nodded, "Let's go."
Just as they walked downstairs, they saw the shopkeeper reappear, "Young Master Ji, are you guys okay?"
"We're fine, we're fine." Ming Xi lightly said, "We will compensate for the damage to the inn. Let us know when you're done."
The shopkeeper chuckled, "How could I dare to record it with you? It was all damaged by those black clothed men."
Ming Xi looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. Although the black clothed men weren't sent by Teng Ye, Teng Ye didn't plan on helping him. It seemed like he was also very hesitant about cooperating with the Fang Family.
"You really appeared at the right time." Xu Jinbei said mockingly to the shopkeeper.
"I was really scared to death just now." The shopkeeper had a look of lingering fear, "I didn't think that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers around Young Master Ji."
Ming Xi lightly smiled, "Let's go."
… …
… …
The news of Ming Xi encountering assassins at the Thousand Floor Tower quickly reached Teng Ye's ears.
"Fang Yanjun's manservant chased those black clothed men away?" Teng Ye heard his subordinate's reply and asked in shock.
"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes."
Teng Ye and Tang Deren looked at each other and sent the manservant away.
"What do you think?" Teng Ye asked Tang Deren.
"Since Fang Yunsong let Fang Yanjun come to Wasteland City alone, how could he not have one or two people protecting him? It's not strange." Tang Deren said. He firmly believed that Ming Xi was Fang Yanjun.
Teng Ye closed his eyes, "If we don't agree to Beitang Yu's request, Fang Yanjun might be killed by them. He wants the Fang Family to hate me forever."
"When Beitang Yu agreed to lend us troops, he didn't say that he would interfere with our decision." Tang Deren said angrily, "If we really let him lead troops into Jin Country, it won't be easy to ask him to leave."
"How could I not know this? However, if we don't do this, they will also break into the city." Teng Ye frowned, "Is there any news from the capital?"
"There's news. The Emperor left all the beauties behind. Shen Huan 'er is already Jie Yu." Tang Deren said.
Teng Ye frowned and shook his head, "Her position is still too low. We have to let her find a way to get close to Murong Ke."
"I know what to do!" Tang Deren said. He glanced at Teng Ye, "Lord, there's something I don't know if I should say."
"What is it?" Teng Ye asked with a frown.
Tang Deren said in a low voice, "We have already come this far. Behind us is a ten thousand zhang cliff. Besides fighting our way out, we have no other choice."
"You want me … to agree to Beitang Yu's request?" Teng Ye frowned, "Do you know the consequences?"
"First, use him to get what we want, then think of a way to get rid of him." Tang Deren said in a low voice.
Teng Ye was silent, "Let me think about it."
