Chapter 333 The Second Prince's Ambition
On the streets of Biantang, the lighting is not ordinary lights, but magic lamps that will not go out for decades.
At night, several horses galloped past along the street, led by Xuan Wuji and the mysterious little leader who should have "suicided himself".
Outside a quiet mansion, the courtyard is deep and bustling. The lanterns of the Prince's Mansion are like a long dragon, emitting a frightening light in the dark night.
When Xuan Wuji and the little leader of the mysterious man saw Tang Yuan's second prince Li Shao, Li Shao was drinking tea.
This man, known as the first of Wuji's five jades, has picturesque features. In terms of appearance, he doesn't have the exquisite facial features like Ye Beiming, nor does he have Xia Xu's unknowingly close temperament.
But what is special about Li Shao is that it is just right, neutralizing Ye Beiming's delicacy and elegance, and having Xia Wenxu's six-point demeanor.
Coupled with his royal training since he was a child, this allowed him to shine like the most precious top-grade purple gold no matter what the occasion. In the gazebo, Li Shao did it himself, boiling water, putting tea leaves, washing tea, every movement was very graceful, almost impeccable.
"Second prince, I deserve death for my crimes, and the purple gold mine has been taken away," the little leader of the mysterious man knelt down to the ground when he saw Li Shao with a friendly expression.
In front of this elegant looking master, he didn't even dare to say a word.
"There's more," Li Shao picked up the fragrant cup and blew on it.
"The smelting field...was destroyed by someone, more than a hundred magicians...and tens of millions of top-grade purple gold refined, whereabouts are unknown," the little boss of the mysterious man almost bit himself to pieces when he heard the news. the teeth of.
He wanted to die, but thinking of his wife and children at home, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and return to Tang Yuan.
He knew that if he dared to defect, what awaited him would be endless pursuit.
"But do you know who did it?" Li Shao still had a calm expression on his face, but there was a dark tide in his eyes. Anyone who is familiar with Li Shao knows that this is a precursor to his anger.
It took nearly a year of planning, obtained the purple gold vein from Emperor Hongcheng at a high price, and more than a hundred elite magicians, everything went smoothly.
Whether it was the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Later Qin Dynasty, no one discovered their secrets.
But just a few days ago, several bad news came one after another.
The Zhou army raided the Zijin mine, and more than a hundred magicians in the smelter were slaughtered. Blood flowed into the smelting pool that was originally full of Zijin water.
All the hard work was ruined overnight.
The most hateful thing is that tens of millions of top-grade Zijin disappeared overnight.
There were heavy casualties, and these people were all the elite of Li Shao's subordinates.
"Subordinates...subordinates don't know," the voice of the mysterious little boss was full of fear.
"I don't know...Captain Lin, you should get up first," Li Shao put down the cup in his hand.
In the cup, silver light flashed.
"Although my subordinates don't know who destroyed the smelter, but in this mine incident, a newly promoted hunting regiment called Tianfa hunting regiment played a major role. They rescued the villagers. The tens of millions of top-quality purple gold that flew on their wings also went into their pockets. The strength of that hunting soldier group is no small matter. Their group leader is Yun Canglang, a former general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is also a leader who can summon commander-level monsters. Summoner," the little boss of the mysterious man didn't know how he got into the encirclement of the Tianfa Jagers until he was captured.
"Yun Canglang? Isn't his hand useless? When did Da Zhou have a summoner who can summon a commanding level monster?" Li Shao's expression changed slightly when he heard it.
The fortunes of the Great Zhou were on the wane, but unexpectedly this time, several strong men of the Great Zhou were implicated all of a sudden.
"My subordinates have seen with their own eyes that Yun Canglang's hands are intact, and his cultivation is no less than before. As for that summoner...she is not very old, but she is very sinister and cunning. Her name is Yan. Cloud." The little leader of the mysterious man gave a general description of Yun Sheng's situation.
"Captain Lin, you have worked hard these past few days," Li Shao changed the subject, and raised the cup of tea he made earlier, "This cup of tea is for you."
When the little leader of the mysterious man heard this, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
Tea from His Royal Highness...
Trembling, he took the cup of tea.
The tea water was silvery, reflecting the bright moon in the sky.
"I know that I am guilty of death, and I only hope that His Royal Highness can let my wife and children go because of the loyalty of his subordinates over the years," the mysterious man drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
"Very good, Lin Xiaowei, you can go down now," Li Shao walked to the side of the little boss of the mysterious man, he raised his hand, and patted Lin Xiaowei on the shoulder.
Lin Xiaowei only felt cold fingers caressing his shoulders.
The crown prince didn't blame him?
The little leader of the mysterious man was ecstatic.
He hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, and couldn't wait to walk down.
He had only taken three steps when his eyes suddenly widened.
I saw that his lower limbs quickly condensed into a layer of ice, and the ice quickly spread to his whole body. In the end, even his hair and eyebrows were completely frozen.
With a sound of "Kara", the little leader who kowtowed to thank him a moment earlier turned into an ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture shattered inch by inch, and soon turned into a puddle of water.
This is... the teacup in the hands of Xuan Wuji, the Young City Lord of Emperor Hongcheng who was sitting on the side drinking tea, couldn't stop shaking, and a drop of hot water splashed out.
The water splashed on his hand, but he didn't feel it was hot, he seemed to feel a cold magic element surrounding him.
That slap just now... It was only then that Xuan Wuji realized that Tang Yuan and Li Shao's seemingly casual slap was actually a fatal one.
With Xuan Wuji's cultivation, he couldn't tell exactly when Li Shao injected a deadly ice magic element into Lin Xiaowei's body.
Wuji Wubi is well deserved.
It was rumored that Tang Yuan and Li Shao were good at water magic, killing people invisible, seeing him today, he really lived up to his reputation.
Xuan Wuji looked at a living soldier in front of him, which turned into a puddle of water in just a few breaths, and was terrified in his heart.
He coughed and put down the teacup in his hand.
Speaking of which, this cooperation between Emperor Hongcheng and Tang Yuan was carried out in secret. Originally, they planned to take advantage of this time to make a fortune, but they were disturbed by the Tianfa Hunters who came out halfway. up.
Xuan Wuji's depression was hard to dissipate, seeing that Yun Canglang had recovered as before, Xuan Wuji came to Tang Yuan this time, just to unite with the second prince Li Shao, and find another way to get rid of the people in Yunfu.
According to what he knew about Li Shao, this person seemed benevolent, but in fact he was sinister and narrow-minded. The Zijin mine of tens of thousands of catties disappeared, and he would never let it go.
