Su Xiaojian had been in Huayang City for more than half a month. He had been staying in the restaurant the entire time. He said that he wanted to finish adjusting his Sword Realm. It was not an excuse.
If Li Ku's answer was the opposite of what he wanted, then there would be a huge battle. He had to fight in his best condition.
Someone knocked on the door again. He knew it was a disciple from Heavenly Sword Peak. He asked, "Did King Jing send someone again?"
The disciple was anxious and helpless. "Peak Lord, King Jing is ridiculous!"
"What?"
"Li Ku is going to enter the city. He actually sent his soldiers to drive the citizens to Li Ku's place. He's trying to use their lives to stop Li Ku."
He smiled bitterly. "King Jing is forcing me to make a move. As a king, he doesn't think about how to protect his subjects and people. He's using unscrupulous methods. It's ridiculous. "
He stood up and pushed the door open. The disciple outside was startled. "Peak Lord, where are you going?"
"To find Li Ku," he said.
"King Jing is so evil. Peak Lord, why are you still going?" the disciple asked.
"I can't just leave them to die. They're innocent." He disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
The disciple's pupils shrunk. He quickly ran to inform the others.
At that moment, Huang Shaoyu had just passed out from a drunken stupor. Yu Qiuyu was taking care of him in the room. When he heard the news, he chased after him with Feng Jiu and the others.
"Qiuyu, Qiuyu … give me water, water …"
Huang Shaoyu felt a splitting headache. His mouth was dry. He wanted to get some water but accidentally fell on the ground. He slowly woke up from the pain. He looked around the room, but there was no one there.
"Where is he? What a disloyal guy … "
He dragged his heavy body to get some water. When he was about to go back to sleep, the door was slammed open from the outside. A black-faced man rushed in and knelt on the ground, wailing. "Young master, boss, boss is dead!"
"Who?" Huang Shaoyu had not sobered up yet and was confused.
"Boss, Boss, he's dead!" The black-faced man cried.
The world suddenly spun, and Huang Shaoyu almost fainted on the ground. He held onto the bed and said in a hoarse voice, "You said my father is dead?"
"It's all because of that damned Li Ku!" The large male cried out, "That bastard who deserves a thousand cuts …"
All of a sudden, Huang Shaoyu sobered up completely. He felt as if his soul had left his body and flown up into the endless sky. His bones and flesh scattered in an instant. If not for the fact that he was holding onto the bed, he would have already collapsed.
Gradually, he felt the pain in his heart, and his senses returned to his body. He took a deep breath, and his lips trembled. His face was pale, and he said coldly, "The stinky old man is finally dead …"
Holding onto the bed, he sat down and said in a seemingly calm manner, "Tell me what happened, in detail."
The burly man explained the cause and effect from beginning to end. When he was done, he wiped his face and said, "Young Master, the boss is dead. You have to stand up and take charge of the situation! This time, I came because Second Master asked me to invite you. As for the future of the Greenwood Community, it's up to you to decide! "
"Greenwood Community …" Hearing this name, Huang Shaoyu's breathing became hurried again.
The burly man clenched his teeth and said, "Fourth Master Xu said that the Boss died for the survival of the Greenwood Community. Now, the remaining members of the Greenwood Community will follow the will of the Boss, and follow your lead to take revenge! "
"Take revenge?" Huang Shaoyu seemed to be in a trance, "Who is that Li Ku? Do you want to die? "
The burly man's face turned red, "If I die, then I die. If I'm afraid of Li Ku, then I'll write my name backwards!"
Huang Shaoyu let out a cold laugh, as if it was disdain and contempt, "My father didn't die in Li Ku's hands …"
The burly man opened his eyes wide, "We saw it with our own eyes …"
"Shut up!" Huang Shaoyu rudely interrupted, "If you really want to follow me, then get out of the battlefield right now, and leave Huayang City forever!"
The burly man was stunned, and then his face turned cold. He stood up, "Young master, before, our brothers had guessed that you were afraid of Li Ku's power, and that's why you purposely fell out with the Boss. At first, I didn't believe it, but now it seems like I have to believe it!"
He cupped his fists, "Since you have your own opinion, we, as subordinates, naturally can't say anything. However, no one can stop us from taking revenge for the Boss. Take care. "With that said, he walked away.
"Wait!" Huang Shaoyu's expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly stopped him.
He stopped, turned his head and said, "Young master, the Greenwood Community can't escape this time. In the future, don't say that you are a member of the Greenwood Community after stirring up trouble. I'm afraid that your former enemies will take revenge on you, and the Boss will no longer be able to stand up for you!" With that said, he walked away with large strides.
"Stand … Don't go, you'll die!" Huang Shaoyu stretched out his hand and screamed.
However, there was no reply, and his footsteps became even more distant.
"The Greenwood Community! The Greenwood Community! … "He clenched his teeth, and now that he was alone, he couldn't help but burst into hot tears." Father, what should I do? "
It was as if a wide and thick palm was pressed on his head, and his whole body shook. Under the morning light, a blurry shadow appeared, looking at him silently.
"Father!" He cried, wanting to hug him, but of course, he hugged nothing, and the shadow was also scattered.
"Didn't you think it through a long time ago?" It was as if there was a voice next to his ear saying.
He choked for a moment in the morning light, and quietly straightened his back. His shadow seemed to lean forward infinitely, heading towards the Extreme Realm.
"Ji Changrui, if you die, all this farce will end, right?"
He put on his clothes, and walked towards King Jing's Palace.
The guards saw him, and although they were surprised, they didn't dare to stop him, and let him in.
He went straight to the study, where Ji Changrui was, as usual, waiting for news from the spies. The father, son, and daughter were all anxiously waiting for news of Su Xiaojian and Li Ku's fight.
However, what they waited for was Huang Shaoyu. Ji Yushan's eyes showed disdain, and she didn't bother to hide it. This was because she already knew that the Lion King had died in battle, so there was no need for her to put on an act. Her two elder brothers sneered disdainfully.
Ji Changrui pulled himself together, and reluctantly comforted him, "Nephew, I know you're very sad, but you have to be strong. After all, the Greenwood Community is still waiting for you to lead."
"I have a plan that can make Li Ku retreat," Huang Shaoyu said calmly.
"Oh?" Ji Changrui was shocked.
His three children also looked at him at the same time, but they didn't believe him at all. Even Ji Changrui himself had the mentality of trying everything in a hopeless situation.
"This plan can't be heard by a third person, or else it will fail," Huang Shaoyu said.
Ji Changrui frowned slightly, waved his hand to dismiss everyone, and then said with a smile, "Nephew, can you speak now?"
Huang Shaoyu walked to the front of the desk, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, please come closer."
Seeing his mysterious posture, Ji Changrui was also curious, so he stood up and leaned his body forward.
"Listen to me …" Huang Shaoyu said in a low voice, his eyes cold, and at the same time his lips moved, he took out a short knife that glowed with a strange green light out of nowhere, and fiercely stabbed it at Ji Changrui's chest.
Bang!
A powerful force suddenly came from the side, and his whole body was sent flying. The short knife fell to the ground with a clang, and he hit a pillar on the other side, fell down, and directly fainted.
"This subordinate already knew that he was a wolf, and as expected!" The one who attacked was the guard commander, Bi Qing.
Ji Changrui's face was as calm as water, and he sat back down, not saying a word.
His three children walked in, and said with concern, "Father, are you okay?"
Ji Changrui shook his head.
"As expected, he's a traitorous bastard!" Ji Yushan gritted her teeth at the unconscious Huang Shaoyu, and scolded him. "Why don't you take a look at yourself first? It's already a great honor for you to step into King Jing's Palace, but you actually dared to assassinate me!"
"Your Highness, how should we deal with him?" Bi Qing asked.
Ji Changrui's eyes were filled with hatred. "Give him a muscle-weakening powder, then throw him into the river and slowly drown him. Get someone to watch over him, and report to me when he's completely dead!"
Bi Qing immediately dragged Huang Shaoyu away and forcefully fed him poisonous powder. She then called two of her subordinates over and gave them instructions according to King Jing's orders.
The two subordinates carried Huang Shaoyu to the riverside, and used a rope to tie a large rock to his chest and abdomen, then hung him into the river.
Huang Shaoyu quickly woke up from choking on the water, and he realized that a large rock was tied to his chest, and he was sunk to the bottom of the river. He struggled to move, but all the muscles and bones in his body were limp.
He had no choice but to breathe internally, but this only prolonged his pain.
He felt the rope tighten, and he was dragged up to the surface. When he surfaced, he saw two unfamiliar faces, dressed in the clothes of scribes. One of them sneered coldly. "How dare you assassinate His Royal Highness. The commander ordered us to teach you a good lesson. We know that you can breathe underwater, so we prepared some fun things for you." As he spoke, he gave the other one a look.
The other one grinned maliciously as he untied the bag on his back and poured something into the river.
Huang Shaoyu saw a dense swarm of fish heads floating on the surface of the river. All of them had sharp teeth, and they were glaring at him fiercely.
"Go down, kid!" The protector who was carrying Huang Shaoyu loosened the rope.
Huang Shaoyu splashed into the water and sank to the bottom of the river. He could not move his body at all. The school of strange fish pounced on him and bit the flesh on his body. Waves of excruciating pain shot through his body, and he fainted from the pain, only to wake up again.
A single breath felt as long as a century.
The rope suddenly tightened and he was lifted up again. The guard who was holding him said with a sinister smile, "I can't let you die so easily. If I don't let you suffer a little more, how can I be worthy of the danger Your Highness took this time? You are also stupid enough. After this catastrophe in the palace, His Highness will definitely give you an official position on account of the heavy casualties of the Lulin people. Isn't it better to be a comfortable official in the imperial court than to occupy a mountain and become a king? How could he be so stupid as to try to assassinate His Highness? "
"Don't say anymore, hurry up and go back." The other impatiently urged.
"What's wrong with saying a few words?" The guard mumbled. Just as he was about to let the strange fish bite Huang Shaoyu to death, he suddenly saw a sword light speeding along the river downstream. His heart shuddered and his movements slowed down.
"Is this Huayang City?"
