Chapter 7 Back to Beijing!

Accompanied by this voice, an iceberg beauty with a cold temperament appeared in Lu Xingzhou's field of vision.

She is tall and slender, with a pair of slender and straight legs.

A grasp of the slender waist makes people feel the urge to hug her.

The most noticeable thing is her pair of ice blue eyes.

This kind of pupil color is very rare and has a special charm, like a deep clear spring, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

This woman's name is Gu Qingying, one of Lu Xingzhou's adopted sons and adopted daughters.

He is the only one who is by his side now.

……

Lu Qingying walked over quickly, glanced at the three corpses on the ground, and his expression changed slightly.

"A body tempered assassin?"

Lu Xingzhou's fighting style is very brutal, ordinary enemies can't even leave a whole body behind.

There is only one possibility for these three people to leave their entire bodies—they are warriors in the Body Tempering Realm.

After entering the Body Tempering Realm, the warrior's body will gradually break away from the level of a mortal.

Even the first small realm leather refining stage is enough to be invulnerable!
Ordinary weapons can't hurt a warrior at the Body Tempering Realm at all, unless it's a magic weapon.

That's why the three assassins came empty-handed.

In front of Lu Xingzhou, weapons are useless at all.

Similarly, the bodies of these three Body Tempering Assassins are far tougher than ordinary fighters, so they can leave a whole body after death.

Therefore, Lu Qingying can judge their strength from the corpses.

……

"That's right, three assassins at the Body Tempering Realm."

Lu Xingzhou replied casually.

Hearing this, Gu Qingying showed an extremely angry look on his cold face.

"Who the hell?! Father-in-law, you have given up everything, why are there still people who refuse to let you go?"

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

He is also thinking about this problem.

Ten years ago, Emperor Xuan Yue, who was eight years younger than him, died suddenly at the age of 52.

Before this, Emperor Xuan Yue's body had been very healthy.

And it is well maintained, its appearance is similar to that of a woman in her 20s, no more than [-] at most.

But just after Lu Xingzhou's [-]th birthday that year, she died suddenly and without warning!
At first, Lu Xingzhou firmly believed that there was something strange about Emperor Xuan Yue's death.

But no matter how he investigated, he couldn't find anything suspicious.

If he really died unexpectedly, with the power and strength that Lu Xingzhou possessed at that time, it is absolutely impossible not to find out any clues.

What's more, the person who was assassinated was the equally powerful Emperor Xuanyue.

After a long investigation was still fruitless, Lu Xingzhou could only believe that Emperor Xuanyue died suddenly by accident, and buried him with his own hands.

This year became a turning point in his life.

In addition to the sudden death of his confidante, Lu Xingzhou's own blood also began to decline, and his strength gradually declined.

This made him feel suddenly depressed.

In the following ten years, Lu Xingzhou gradually delegated power.

Half a year ago, he completely gave up all his power and left Dayan Imperial City.

Lu Xingzhou originally planned to leave alone.

But there is a loyal person under his command, who would rather give up all power and accompany him through the last journey of life.

That person was Gu Qingying.

You know, her status in No Return at Night is not low!

This huge force is mainly composed of the four veins of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, and the leaders of each vein will be adopted by Lu Xingzhou as adopted sons and daughters.

Lu Qingying is the No. [-] Xuanzi, with great power in his hands.

But even so, she is still willing to give up everything and continue to follow Lu Xingzhou who is alone.

Maybe it's because Lu Qingying was the only one who was adopted as a foster daughter by him very early on.

……

Anyway, half a year ago.

Lu Xingzhou took Gu Qingying and a small number of center guards away from the center of power and came to the observation platform.

It has been very stable for half a year.

But today, three body tempering assassins suddenly appeared, wanting to take Lu Xingzhou's life.

This is so weird!

A martial arts master in the Body Tempering Realm is a top existence in any force.

Taking out three at a time is already costing the blood for this assassination.

But Lu Xingzhou was far away from power and was about to die of old age.

What is the need to target him like this?
Why bother to kill him?
Even Lu Xingzhou himself couldn't figure this out.

He recalled the confrontation just now, and said in a deep voice:

"Looking at the skills and strength of these three people, they are masters from Ouchi."

"Someone in the imperial city wants my life!"

"But why?"

Lu Xingzhou turned his head to look in the direction of Dayan Imperial City, frowning slightly.

Lu Qingying opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

She was even more ignorant of questions that Lu Xingzhou couldn't think of.

In desperation, he could only bend down to uncover the masks of those masked men.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was opened, it touched the mechanism below.

The poison flowed out, and the face under the mask was corroded and bloody, and the original appearance could not be seen at all.

Lu Xingzhou glanced casually without paying attention.

These little tricks to prevent the assassin from being exposed are the rest of his play, and he had expected it long ago.

It can be expected that there is no clue to verify the identity of these three people.

The question remains, who wants his life?
Specifically why?
……

While the two were thinking, a snow-white flying eagle landed beside Gu Qingying, with a secret letter tied at his feet.

After taking it off and opening it, Lu Qingying's expression changed slightly.

"Father, Xuanyue Emperor's Mausoleum was destroyed three days ago, and his body disappeared. No suspicious traces have been found so far, let alone who did it!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhou's eyes froze, he was more confused than angry.

The imperial mausoleum of the Great Yan Dynasty is heavily guarded. Who has the ability to break through the defenses to destroy the imperial mausoleum, steal the emperor's body, and then escape safely?

Even Lu Xingzhou at his peak, he couldn't do it without disturbing anyone or leaving any traces.

This is so weird!
The more Lu Xingzhou thought about it, the more weird he felt.

He had a faint premonition.

The assassination of himself and the disappearance of the emperor's corpse concealed some kind of connection.

Behind this, I am afraid there is a big secret!
"Father, what should we do?"

Seeing Lu Xingzhou's expression moved slightly, Gu Qingying asked quickly.

She also had a premonition that something big was about to happen!
Lu Xingzhou stared at the distant imperial city Luodu with extremely sharp eyes.

"Go back to Beijing!"

"I'd like to see what Da Yan looks like after half a year of leaving."

Hearing this, Lu Qingying's whole body trembled violently, with a look of incomparable surprise in his eyes.

Lu Qingying knew very well that Lu Xingzhou's return to Beijing this time would definitely cause an uproar.

Even though he is old, even if he has given up all his power, Xue Yanluo's prestige cannot be dissipated overnight.

Even if Lu Xingzhou didn't do anything, the mere existence would make some people feel choked and restless.

This trip is destined to be bloody!
But Lu Qingying was looking forward to it.

She knew that no matter what happened, her adoptive father would have the last laugh.

The man who once stirred up the world is going back to his loyal imperial city!
