I can see the hidden conditions of martial arts

Chapter 97 Assassination Incident, Library Pavilion
After hearing about the origin of Shuanghan, Ling Feng was thoughtful.

In this way, this frost was a property of the Holy Sword Kingdom, and was later supplied to the former Daliang Dynasty. When Daliang was destroyed, the sword was secretly transferred to Tanshan's treasure house by the former dynasty, and was obtained by himself.

Then His Highness the Prince is telling me these things today...

Do you want to take this sword back?

Think of this.

There was a hint of wariness in Ling Feng's eyes.

In order for his [Piaomiao Wenxian Sword Technique] to be promoted to perfection, one of the conditions that needs to be met is to swallow the essence of the heavenly sword.

This frost is the only heavenly sword in his hand.

He won't hand it over easily.

His Highness the Prince also noticed Ling Feng's vigilance and handed the Frost Frost Sword back to him, "Although I want to take this sword back to the Holy Sword Kingdom, Master Ling has saved my life. This sword is now It’s not easy for me to take the young master’s sword away.”

Moreover.

Even if he borrowed some courage, he would not dare to compete with a grandmaster.

There is no grandmaster in charge of the Holy Sword Kingdom now.

If Ling Feng breaks into the Holy Sword Kingdom because of this, no one can stop them.

Taking it by force will only bring disaster to the Holy Sword Kingdom.

"I heard that the Holy Sword Kingdom respects the sword and worships the Holy Sword. This Frost Sword is a holy sword that was lost hundreds of years ago. So what is the Holy Sword that the Holy Sword Kingdom has worshiped over the years? Ling Feng asked curiously.

"There are three holy swords in the Holy Sword Kingdom, Shuanghan is just one of them, the other two are still there." His Royal Highness the Prince smiled slightly.

"Are they all of heavenly quality?"

"Yes."

Having said this, the one who was on guard now became His Highness the Prince.

Grandmaster Ling, wouldn't he want to take away those two heavenly swords, would he?
"Mr. Ling, to be honest, although the other two holy swords are also heavenly swords, they do not have much practical ability. One of them, [Juque], weighs [-] kilograms. Ordinary warriors cannot wield it at all. What's more, Not to mention fighting with it, there is another holy sword named [Black Moon].

This sword is even weirder than the giant sword. Ordinary swordsmen cannot gain its approval at all. Once it comes into contact with it, it will be eroded by the sword energy. If it is held for a long time, the sword energy will backfire and the meridians may be severed. In severe cases, the body will explode and die. In the history of our Holy Sword Kingdom, many swordsmen died due to using the black moon.

Among the several holy swords, only Shuanghan can be used normally.

It is precisely because of this that they were used to supply the main beams of the previous dynasty. If they were replaced with the other two, I am afraid that the emperor of the previous dynasty would be furious and our Holy Sword Kingdom would be gone. "

His Highness the Prince said slowly.

Trying to dispel Ling Feng's thoughts and let him not think about the other two swords.

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Your Highness the Prince has misunderstood. Although I am interested in your country's holy sword, I will not take it by force."

"Of course I believe in Mr. Ling's character, and I don't think so."

His Royal Highness was slightly relieved in his heart, but he still said that he did not question Ling Feng's intention, and the two parties continued to eat and drink.

During this period, His Royal Highness the Prince chatted a lot of interesting things about the Holy Sword Kingdom.

Ling Feng also listened with interest.

After drinking and eating.

His Highness the Prince proposed to go on a cruise, and Ling Feng did not refuse. He also wanted to continue to hear something about the Holy Sword Kingdom.

After all, it was a foreign country he had never been to.

The royal capital, on the river.

On a flower boat decorated with colorful lanterns, Ling Feng and His Royal Highness the Prince were sitting on the boat, making tea around the stove. After a few cups of hot tea, their drunkenness dissipated and their bodies became much warmer. They looked at the flowers on the river. Ship, His Royal Highness is a little envious.

"In our Holy Sword Kingdom, the sword is the most respected, and the spirit of competition and aggression is prevalent. Internal strife is quite serious, but there is no such prosperity."

"Your Highness, do you want to change?"

"nature."

His Royal Highness the Prince nodded slightly, "If one day I ascend the throne, I will definitely change the atmosphere of the Holy Sword Kingdom and make the royal capital of the Holy Sword Kingdom as prosperous as the royal capital of Daliang. The people can live and work in peace and contentment and no longer have to worry about food and clothing."

He has great ambitions.

Ling Feng listened and said nothing.

suddenly.

A gust of wind came howling.

On the river, the lanterns hanging on the flower boats were all blown out.

The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

Everyone on the flower boat on the river exclaimed and quickly asked the boatman to light the lamp.

At this moment, Ling Feng sensed something, closed his eyes slightly, and the spiritual thoughts that only a great master could possess spread.

The dark river surface, under the observation of his spiritual mind, seemed like a hole in the sky, like watching fire.

I saw several figures in the river, jumping out of the water silently, with weapons in their hands, heading towards His Royal Highness standing on the deck.

Ling Feng snorted softly, condensed his sword fingers, and counted several points in the void. The sword energy burst out and struck with the weapons in the hands of those figures.

In the darkness, sparks flew.

His Royal Highness also noticed something, a chill ran down his spine, and he quickly walked towards Ling Feng in the cabin.

Now only staying with the master Ling Feng can give him a sense of security, and the boatman quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Your Highness, be careful."

"it is good……"

His Highness the Prince responded casually, but then he realized, how did this boatman know that he belonged to His Highness the Prince?
In the darkness, the boatman suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the chest!
The dagger is full of true energy, cold, sharp and swift!
His Highness the Prince was unable to react in time. When he was in danger, two fingers reached out from the side and clamped the dagger.

"Tips for carving insects."

Ling Feng snorted lightly.

The boatman's face changed slightly when he saw that Ling Feng had easily caught him with his full blow, but then his other hand surged with Qi and inserted the dagger.

From the tip of the dagger, the sword light shot out, and it was about to send out a burst of energy to penetrate the prince's head.

But Ling Feng reacted like lightning. When the opponent made a move, he moved his two fingers slightly and changed the direction of the dagger.

The breath of energy brushed past the prince's cheek.

Seeing that his killing moves were being broken one after another, the boatman let go of the dagger and wanted to turn around and retreat, but Ling Feng snorted and his true energy surged out.

It was like a heavy hammer, hitting the boatman hard on the back.

Knocked the opponent unconscious.

On the river, the black figure who had previously assassinated the prince, but was blocked by Ling Feng, took action again unwillingly.

Swords, knives, daggers...

All kinds of weapons were once again attacking His Highness the Prince next to Ling Feng.

"Is it that easy?"

Ling Feng said indifferently, using his fingers as a sword, he struck out like lightning.

The sword fingers hit the weapons in several people's hands continuously. This time, a more domineering force shattered the weapons in their hands!

When one of them stepped back, he suddenly took out a wooden box and pointed it at the prince.

From the wooden box, many small needles suddenly shot out.

These small needles are difficult to see in the dark. Even a master can only protect his body with Gang Qi in this environment.

But it is even more difficult to protect another person.

But Ling Feng is not an ordinary master. The trajectory of hundreds of small needles can be clearly seen under the observation of his spiritual mind!
With a move of his sword finger, the broken weapons on the deck were controlled by an invisible force and flew into the air, blocking His Highness the Prince.

He actually blocked those tiny needles one by one!

"What?! How could such a thing happen?!"

The man in black who activated the hidden weapon had a flash of horror in his eyes.

Is this person unaffected by the darkness?

How can you still find such tiny ox hair needles one by one? !
"This person must be a master, run away!"

Without any hesitation, several figures used light kung fu skills to walk on the water, wanting to leave, but suddenly, a cold light appeared in the darkness!
The frost is out of its sheath!

Under the control of sword control, it was like turning into a dragon with sword energy, shuttling through the void, catching up with those figures, and piercing their chests!
Several people died, and their bodies fell onto the water.

Frost and cold return to the sheath.

Ling Feng stood on the deck, his spiritual thoughts spreading.

After confirming that there were no other killers, he gradually regained his strength.

On the other hand, His Highness the Prince was still in place. Although he only had a few breaths just now, he seemed to have walked back and forth in front of the gate of hell several times. His spine was chilling and his clothes had already been wet with cold sweat.

He quickly raised his hands to Ling Feng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ling, for saving me."

If it weren't for Ling Feng just now.

He had died several times.

"You are the prince of the Holy Sword Kingdom, an envoy from another country. I am now a servant of the imperial court, so I should protect you." Ling Feng said calmly.

soon.

The lights on the flower boat turned on again.

Everyone screamed in surprise when they saw several corpses floating on the river.

"Dead, dead!"

"Quick, hurry up!"

Soon, a large number of officers and soldiers arrived and surrounded the scene.

When they saw His Royal Highness the Prince was also at the scene, the leading officers and soldiers immediately realized that this matter had gone beyond what they could handle.

Immediately report to the Ministry of Justice.

As for the boatman who was deliberately left behind by Ling Feng, he was also imprisoned.The next day.

Inside the Zhou palace.

Emperor Zhou was furious, "Where is this place? It is the royal capital, at the feet of the emperor!! And under my nose, someone dared to assassinate the prince of the Holy Sword Kingdom with the intention of provoking a dispute between the two countries. Who is so bold!"

The emperor was furious and everyone was silent.

"Department of Punishment, how is the investigation on the identities of those assassins going?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the identities of those assassins have been found out. They are all warriors who have done evil in Dazhou over the years. Among them are Shura Ghost Zhou Yong, Poison Dragon Sword Liu San, and traitor Liu Zhanye from Feihua Sect...

As for the person who was still alive and imprisoned, it was Zhang Xu, a villain on the Great Zhou Villain List. From his mouth, we learned that these people were members of the Dragon Slaying Society, and the purpose of assassinating the prince was to provoke a dispute between the two countries. "

The Minister of Punishment stood up and spoke slowly.

"The Dragon Slaying Association...that organization formed by the remnants of the previous dynasty! They have been causing chaos all over the country over the past few years. Your Criminal Department has been investigating them for so long, but you haven't uprooted them yet, and you have allowed them to cause such a big chaos in the capital!
How can I trust your ability to do things when you are so humble? "

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Punishment quickly knelt on the ground.

"The people of the Dragon Slaying Association are extremely cunning. We have been surrounded and suppressed many times by our humble ministers, but they have been allowed to escape. Their affairs have been unfavorable. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhou also knew that the people of the Dragon Slaying Association were difficult to deal with. The Criminal Department could handle some cases just fine, but it was still a little inferior to those remnants of the previous dynasty who had many warriors and could even be said to be masters.

He verbally blamed a few words but said nothing.

"The Dragon Slaying Association will be left to the imperial court to deal with. As for the prince, luckily Grandmaster Ling is here this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Emperor Zhou felt a little lucky in his heart.

Although he is not afraid of a war between the Holy Sword Kingdom, once a war begins, it will inevitably deplete the country's power, which is what he least wants to see.

"Your Majesty, I will not get involved in the investigation of the murderer. My father is still waiting for me to bring supplies to provide disaster relief, so I will take the first step."

His Highness the Prince said, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

"Okay, prince, be careful all the way. I will ask Liu Gongfeng to bring a few more experts to protect the prince's safety along the way." Emperor Zhou said.

Originally, one Liu Yuan was enough.

But after this incident, he planned to send a few more masters and a group of elite soldiers to protect the prince, and at least send him safely out of the Great Zhou.

…………

The royal palace, Tianxin Palace.

Ling Feng was in the garden, feeding the seven-leaf sword-shaped grass with sword energy.

at this time.

"His Majesty is here!"

The supervisor's voice came from outside the house.

Ling Feng stood up and went out to greet him. When Emperor Zhou saw him, he smiled and took his hand, telling him not to salute.

"Ling Gongfeng, thank you for taking action this time to save the prince of the Holy Sword Kingdom. Otherwise, many people would suffer due to the conflict between the two countries."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, "It's your job."

"Speaking of which, why are you with the prince?"

Emperor Zhou asked with a smile.

Ling Feng knew that this issue was crucial.

After all, he was worshiped by the imperial court, but he stayed with a foreign prince and got involved in the assassination of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In addition, his origin is unknown. If this question cannot be answered well, Emperor Zhou will definitely become suspicious of him.

However, he had a clear conscience and did not hide anything. He directly took off the Shuanghan Sword from his waist and said, "This sword is called Shuanghan. It was because of this sword that His Highness made an appointment with me. He said that this sword is a holy sword." The holy sword of the country..."

He will narrate what happened when he met the prince.

Reasonable.

Emperor Zhou could not find any flaws.

"I wonder where Ling Gongfeng got this sword?"

"I found it in a cave, where there was the withered bones of a senior master. Everything I learned was inherited from that master."

"I see, I didn't expect Ling Gongfeng to have such an opportunity."

Opportunities are created by chance, and they are mysterious and mysterious.

It's not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

The Frost Frost Sword was supplied to the previous dynasty hundreds of years ago. It is nonsense to think that Ling Feng is a remnant of the previous dynasty based on this sword.

Say.

Ling Feng was really a remnant of the previous dynasty. With his master's cultivation and the fact that the two sides were now face to face, it would be easy to kill Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou also knew this, so he did not act rashly.

Although there were still doubts in his mind, he did not continue to ask further.

It is Ling Feng's identity as a grandmaster that is so important.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I want to go to the library in the palace to have a look. Can I ask your Majesty's permission?" Ling Feng asked.

"Oh, of course there is no problem with this. I will prepare a decree for you later so that you can freely enter and leave the library from now on."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ling Feng's eyes lit up.

He came to the palace not only for the seven-leaf sword-shaped grass, but also for the many books in the palace.

Some of those books are inaccessible to the outside world.

Ling Feng was very curious about this knowledge.

After chatting with Emperor Zhou for a few words, the other party left.

Before leaving, Ling Feng was left with a decree that he could freely enter and leave the library. With this decree, Ling Feng was extremely satisfied.

The next day.

After inputting another sword energy into the Seven-leaf Sword-shaped Grass, he left Tianxin Palace and went to the Library Pavilion. On the way, he suddenly heard a noise not far away. A woman in plain clothes was going crazy. As if chasing a sedan chair.

"Queen, I beg you, please help me intercede with His Majesty. I really can't stay in this lonely palace any longer."

"Empress Empress, Empress Empress..."

The woman chased the sedan, but was caught up by several eunuchs and maids, who grabbed her and dragged her into a palace courtyard.

Ling Feng glanced at...

Qingxin Palace.

This place is commonly known as the Cold Palace.

Tianxin Palace where he lived was not far away.

In this cold palace, all the concubines from Emperor Zhou's harem are locked up. Of course, it is unknown how many of them really made mistakes, and how many of them were framed and failed in their bid for favor. .

In this deep palace, there is intrigue and intrigue.

Although there is no clear sword or clear gun, conspiracy and calculation are better than weapons.

Ling Feng shook his head and had no intention of going into details.

Just after he planned to leave.

The curtain of the luxurious sedan suddenly opened, and a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes walked down. She smiled at Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Meet the empress."

Ling Feng was neither humble nor arrogant, he raised his hands and bowed.

"Ling Zongfeng, where are you going?"

"I'm about to go to the library."

"Oh, the palace's library contains everything. I occasionally go there to read the ancient books. I wonder what kind of books Ling went to the library to read?" the queen asked with a smile.

"Flip through it at will. The book below is very complicated and you can basically cover it."

"Then it seems that Ling Gongfeng must be a man of profound knowledge and strong memorization. I didn't expect that Ling Gongfeng is so young and has already reached the level of a master. He has such interest. It's really eye-catching. By the way, I don't know about this palace. Ling Gongfeng A habit that can be lived in?"

"It's okay."

Ling Feng nodded.

The two chatted casually for a few more words.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

"Well, let's go slowly, Ling Gongfeng."

Looking at Ling Feng's leaving figure, the Queen was thoughtful.

She called a maid next to her and asked: "Are there any of the maids from Tianxin Palace who are from our side?"

"The maids of Tianxin Palace are all personally selected by the eunuchs around His Majesty, and there are none of us." The maid shook her head.

"Then find a way to get in touch with the maid. You can use coercion or inducement. You must recruit one to act as my ear and observe every move of Ling Gongfeng. This person is young and is a master. If he intends to get involved in the court situation, He will be able to influence the situation of the government, so before that, we must have a good relationship with him."

"Yes, ma'am."

"If I can recruit this person for the emperor's son...then the ninth and fifth position must belong to me, the emperor's son!" the queen murmured.

The maid next to her pretended not to hear.

the other side.

Ling Feng came to the Library Pavilion and presented the Emperor Zhou's decree. When he entered it, what he saw were rows of bookshelves several meters high.

The bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books.

Looking around, it is vast.
