Chapter 253 The King’s Woman

Wang Jiantao and the others did not intend to assassinate Lu Chen, so they did not attack Lu Chen's carriage with arrows as soon as they came up. They walked out directly and surrounded Lu Chen's carriage and the palace guards.

Bai Qingqing said expressionlessly at this time: "Who are you!"

Wang Jiantao and others were wearing cloaks and their faces were covered with cloth, so their faces could not be seen in full. However, Bai Qingqing obviously knew who these people were, so she just asked casually.

She grew up in the place where Shadow Guards trained. She was also taught by Wang Jiantao. She was very aware of the power of the warrior in Wang Jiantao. As soon as Wang Jiantao came out, Bai Qingqing knew it was him.

Wang Jiantao said coldly at this time: "Commander Bai has been very busy recently, so busy that he has even forgotten his own responsibilities."

After hearing the noise outside, Lu Chen opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Bai Qingqing beside the carriage with a smile: "Xiao Bai, do you know them?"

Bai Qingqing replied expressionlessly: "My lord, I don't know you!"

Hearing Bai Qingqing's words, Wang Jiantao snorted coldly, "Commander Bai is really a noble man who forgets things. He doesn't even recognize his adoptive father."

"Since you chose to betray the organization, I believe you have already been prepared to die."

While speaking, Wang Jiantao directly pulled out the knife from his waist.

Bai Qingqing did not hesitate, and immediately pulled out the sword from her waist, and then said to the guards of the palace: "Protect the prince!"

After the words fell, Bai Qingqing went straight to Wang Jiantao not far away.

Except for Wang Jiantao, the other shadow guards did not follow suit. They still surrounded the palace guards and carriages, and they seemed to have no intention of attacking Lu Chen.

This time they came just to get rid of the traitor Bai Qingqing. Although King Bei was also a headache for Emperor Xia, Emperor Xia did not order them to take action against King Bei, so they had to separate King Bei and Bai Qingqing.

At this time, Lu Chen came out of the carriage and sat on the seat next to the carriage driver, watching the battle between Bai Qingqing and Wang Jiantao.

Listening to the conversation between Wang Jiantao and Bai Qingqing just now, Lu Chen also realized that Wang Jiantao was probably the one who trained Bai Qingqing to be a shadow guard. To cultivate a shadow guard without emotions, Bai Qingqing must have suffered a lot of torture when she was a child, so Lu Chen wanted Bai Qingqing to try to avenge herself.

Lu Chen would only take action if Bai Qingqing was really no match for Wang Jiantao. He was a great master, and he could sense everything around him. If Bai Qingqing was in danger, he would be able to save Bai Qingqing immediately. Qingqing.

Seeing that Bai Qingqing was about to approach Wang Jiantao, Wang Jiantao kicked his legs and jumped up easily. Then he pushed his legs towards the tree next to him, and flew directly towards Bai Qingqing. He slashed at him with a knife, and the invisible sword energy Go straight to Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing, who was riding on the horse, did not panic. She immediately jumped up from the horse, and then swung her sword at Wang Jiantao. The sword energy she swung collided with the sword energy, and the surrounding trees were also affected by invisible ripples. Cut in half.

After just the initial fight, Wang Jiantao felt something was wrong. He found that Bai Qingqing's strength seemed to be superior to his.

How can this be?

When Bai Qingqing left the capital, she had just broken through to the Grandmaster level, so she shouldn't be stronger than herself.

When they fought just now, Wang Jiantao could clearly feel that Bai Qingqing's realm had reached the ultimate master level, which was very different from ordinary masters.

Wang Jiantao fell from mid-air, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Commander Bai's strength has improved very quickly during his time in Beiwang Mansion. I don't know what benefits Beiwang gave you to make you betray the organization."

Bai Qingqing ignored Wang Jiantao's words. Her body turned into an afterimage and rushed directly towards Wang Jiantao. The next moment, a cold sword light hit Wang Jiantao's neck.

However, Wang Jiantao did not panic. Instead, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. In just a blink of an eye, Wang Jiantao's figure disappeared on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. His eyes were always on Wang Jiantao and Bai Qingqing. He did not expect that Wang Jiantao could disappear in an instant under his nose.

But Lu Chen was the Grand Master after all, and soon he sensed Wang Jiantao's presence. Wang Jiantao had already appeared behind Bai Qingqing.

The light of the blade swept directly towards Bai Qingqing's waist. Bai Qingqing was about to be hit by the knife. Just when Lu Chen was about to take action, Bai Qingqing reacted. She leaned back and easily avoided it. The knife in Wang Jiantao's hand.

Then Bai Qingqing struck back with a sword, but this sword still did not cause any harm to Wang Jiantao, and Wang Jiantao disappeared again.

Then Wang Jiantao kept attacking with his body skills, while Bai Qingqing fell into passive defense. Lu Chen saw that Wang Jiantao's body skills were very strange, very similar to his transformation, and he could easily avoid the enemy's sword. .

However, although Bai Qingqing is passive, Bai Qingqing is already an extreme master after all, and her reaction speed is fast enough. It is not easy for Wang Jiantao to use his body skills to sneak attack her. She can react every time.

At this time, Lu Chen looked at the cloaked shadow guards who surrounded the palace guards and the carriage, and said jokingly: "Why don't you all take action together? What are you doing surrounding my carriage?"

Hearing this, the shadow guards did not speak. They still stood where they were, surrounding the palace's carriage.

At this moment, Wang Jiantao found that no matter how he attacked, he could not kill Bai Qingqing. Bai Qingqing could always react immediately.

Originally, Bai Qingqing's swordsmanship was taught to him by himself, and he was already very familiar with Bai Qingqing's swordsmanship. He originally thought that he could easily get rid of the traitor Bai Qingqing, but he did not expect that Bai Qingqing would be able to kill him in such a short time. He broke through to the ultimate master level, which made him very passive.

No, we can't continue to delay like this. If the grandmaster who dragged him to the palace comes later, it is very likely that his mission will fail this time.

He is the only shadow guard commander left by Emperor Xia who has never failed, because all the shadow guard commanders who have failed have been dealt with by Emperor Xia.

If he didn't complete the mission this time, death would be the only thing waiting for him.

At this time, Wang Jiantao took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Seeing that Wang Jiantao had taken the medicine, Bai Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly.

As the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, Bai Qingqing also knows that the Shadow Guard possesses a blood-exploding pill. Once this pill is taken, the warrior's skill will be greatly improved in a short period of time, and the warrior will enter the blood-burning pill. The status is the same.

However, after a warrior uses the Explosive Blood Pill, the side effects are very small, and he can recover within a month or two at most.

It was obvious that what Wang Jiantao had just used was the Blood Exploding Pill.

The next moment, Wang Jiantao's sword skills instantly became fierce and powerful. Just now, Wang Jiantao used his body skills to find ways to sneak attack, but now he was directly competing with Bai Qingqing head-on.

The swords collided, sparks flew, and the surrounding trees fell one after another, causing a lot of commotion.

At this time, Bai Qingqing also felt a little powerless. Her swordsmanship was originally taught by Wang Jiantao. Wang Jiantao was very familiar with her swordsmanship. She could barely block Wang Jiantao's attack just now relying on her realm.

But as Wang Jiantao's internal power increased, Bai Qingqing could no longer resist, and Bai Qingqing could only keep retreating.

At this time, Wang Jiantao came over with a sword, and a huge sword energy instantly knocked Bai Qingqing away. Although Bai Qingqing blocked part of the attack with his sword, his body was still pushed back more than ten meters, and he spit out a mouthful. There was blood, obviously from internal injuries.

Seeing that Bai Qingqing was no match for Wang Jiantao, Lu Chen did not intend to continue watching the show. Then Lu Chen jumped off the carriage.

Seeing Lu Chen walking towards Bai Qingqing, the shadow guards holding knives immediately surrounded him. At this time, a ninth-grade shadow guard said: "King Bei, if you come forward again, don't blame us for taking action against you. Got it!"

Hearing the shadow guard's threat, Lu Chen sneered, "You are the first person who dares to threaten me this year."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the body of the shadow guard flew towards Lu Chen in an instant. He tried to struggle away, but found that it was to no avail.

Soon the shadow guard's neck was pinched by Lu Chen, and the next moment, he felt the power in his body draining rapidly.

After seeing this scene, the other shadow guards noticed something was wrong. Bei Wang's strength was obviously underestimated by them. Then one of the shadow guards said: "Do it!"

Although they did not receive an order to kill King Bei, if King Bei wanted to prevent them from completing their mission, don't blame them for being rude.

At this time, Wang Jiantao, who was not far away, also noticed what was happening on the carriage side. He frowned when he saw the shadow guards suddenly rushing towards Lu Chen.

At this moment, Lu Chen's power was suddenly released, and a burst of spiritual power was released centered on Lu Chen's body, directly pushing all the shadow guards to the ground.

Feeling the terrifying power on Lu Chen's body, all the shadow guards were stunned, even Wang Jiantao in the distance was stunned.

"Great...Grand Master!!!"

How can this be! ! !

The King of the North has only been in the North for less than four years, how could he have become the Grand Master! ! !

No wonder Bei Wang brought so many people with him when he went out this time. He was already a grand master, so how could he be afraid of others assassinating him.

Wang Jiantao reacted instantly and shouted "not good" in his heart.

They were fooled!

Obviously this was a trap by King Bei. The purpose was to lure out the shadow guards who wanted to get rid of Bai Qingqing. Now they were in trouble.

Facing the Grand Master, they did not have the ability to fight him.

At this time, Wang Jiantao glanced at Bai Qingqing, who was already injured in the distance.

Is this all we can do today?

no!

If he fails to complete the task, he will die if he goes back!

Thinking of this, Wang Jiantao immediately clenched the knife in his hand and ran straight towards Bai Qingqing. He planned to kill Bai Qingqing before Lu Chen could react, and then directly use his body skills to escape.

Although Lu Chen is a grand master, Lu Chen is still so young after all. Wang Jiantao is very confident in his body skills. Even a grand master cannot catch him.

Soon, Wang Jiantao's figure appeared in front of Bai Qingqing, and then he swung his knife at Bai Qingqing.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen snorted and actually wanted to kill someone in front of him.

The next moment, Lu Chen used his disguise, and without any warning, his body appeared next to Bai Qingqing, and he clamped Wang Jiantao's knife between his two fingers.

Wang Jiantao was shocked, "What a fast speed!"

Lu Chen directly broke the knife in Wang Jiantao's hand with his finger, and Wang Jiantao jumped back a few steps.

Lu Chen said at this time: "Wang Jiantao, you are so brave, you dare to kill my woman in front of me!"

Having said this, Lu Chen directly hugged the injured Bai Qingqing, and then used his rejuvenating hands to treat her.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Bai Qingqing's pale face showed a blush, especially Lu Chen's words "my king's woman" made Bai Qingqing's heart beat wildly.

Seeing that Lu Chen said his name directly, Wang Jiantao said: "Your Majesty, since you know my name, then Bai Qingqing must have told you everything about her. If Your Majesty doesn't want to get into trouble, it's best to tell him Bai Qingqing, hand it over."

Lu Chen said calmly: "Those who threaten me usually don't end well."

At this point, Lu Chen's warrior power instantly increased a lot, and Wang Jiantao in the distance felt a huge sense of oppression, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Wang Jiantao thought in his heart that today's assassination must have failed. He could only find another way to assassinate Bai Qingqing. He could not continue to drag it out. If he did, he might not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiantao's body disappeared instantly and ran away.

Seeing Wang Jiantao trying to escape, Lu Chen smiled, then let go of Bai Qingqing, and then he flashed and punched somewhere. The next moment, Wang Jiantao's figure appeared, and his body flew out, directly breaking ten pieces. Many trees.

Wang Jiantao vomited a mouthful of blood and lay on the ground, looking at Lu Chen in the distance with some disbelief.

"You...how could you discover my whereabouts!"

Wang Jiantao has always been relatively confident in his body skills. In his opinion, as long as he is not a great master like Zhuge Chongguang who is about to break through to the realm of heaven and man, it is impossible to catch him.

Lu Chen was still young. Even if he had already broken through to the realm of Grandmaster, he would not be too strong. However, he was able to find his location in one go. This moment made Wang Jiantao feel extremely panicked.

At this time, Lu Chen walked towards Wang Jiantao and said, "Commander Wang, you beat my woman and want to leave without paying any price. Don't you look down on me too much!"

Seeing Lu Chen getting closer and closer, Wang Jiantao immediately said: "King Bei, I am His Majesty's man, and His Majesty sent me here. If you dare to attack me, once His Majesty finds out, he will definitely think that you are going to rebel!"

Lu Chen said with a nonchalant expression: "Rebellion? As long as you die, won't no one know that this king did all this?"

After the words fell, Lu Chen raised his hand. Wang Jiantao saw that Lu Chen was really going to take action, so he immediately mobilized all his strength, used the blood-burning method, and then ran away again.

Wang Jiantao still knew how much he was worth. Even if he used the blood-burning method, he didn't think he would be a grand master's opponent. The key was that Lu Chen was still a grand master who could find his traces.

What Wang Jiantao fears most is a grand master who can discover his location and keep up with his speed. Lu Chen happens to be such a person.

Seeing Wang Jiantao running away again, Lu Chen did not hesitate and used Disapparation again.

At this time, Wang Jiantao turned around and found that Lu Chen and the others could no longer be seen. He was relieved. Then the next second, a claw suddenly grabbed Wang Jiantao's neck.

Wang Jiantao was stunned immediately.

How can this be!

Wang Jiantao discovered at this time that Lu Chen's technique was very similar to the technique he used. He could also enter a stealth state and make his body disappear on the spot.

But Lu Chen's speed was obviously faster. After all, Lu Chen was already a grand master. No matter how he ran away, he could not escape from Lu Chen's grasp.

Just when Wang Jiantao was about to beg for mercy, he instantly felt that the power in his body was flowing continuously to Lu Chen.

Wang Jiantao suddenly became more frightened.

What kind of martial arts is this!

Why has he never heard of martial arts that can suck away people's power before?

Wang Jiantao tried hard to beg for mercy and said: "Spare... spare my life..."

After Lu Chen sucked away half of Wang Jiantao's skill, he threw Wang Jiantao to the ground. Wang Jiantao quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was just sent by Your Majesty to get rid of Bai Qingqing, and I have no intention of doing anything to Your Majesty!" "

Lu Chen snorted coldly and said, "Xiaobai is my king's woman. If you take action against her, you are taking action against me!"

Wang Jiantao continued: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know some secrets about Your Majesty. As long as you don't kill me, I will tell you all these secrets!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen said thoughtfully: "Oh? Do you know my father's secret?"

The reason why Lu Chen didn't kill Wang Jiantao directly was because he felt that Wang Jiantao was still valuable. Wang Jiantao was the commander of the Shadow Guard and someone close to Emperor Xia. He had done a lot of dirty work for Emperor Xia, so he knew Emperor Xia's secrets. The most one person.

Wang Jiantao was afraid that Lu Chen wouldn't believe it, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, your mother's death was planned by your Majesty. Your Majesty has always believed that you are not his biological son, so he has always ignored you and enfeoffed you to Come from a poor place like North County."

Hearing Wang Jiantao's words, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

Of course he knew that his mother's death was most likely caused by Emperor Xia, but he didn't expect that Emperor Xia actually thought that he was not his biological son?

How is this going?

Is it possible that his mother cuckolded Emperor Xia?

Lu Chen frowned, and then asked: "Why does my father think that I am not his biological son?"

Wang Jiantao quickly replied: "Because every time His Majesty goes to Yue Fei's place, he always wakes up the next day feeling dizzy and has no memory of what happened the night before."

"Your Majesty believes that Concubine Yue has a man outside, and you are that man's child. Over the years, Your Majesty has been asking the shadow guards to investigate who your biological father is. All the young men who had interacted with Concubine Yue were all The Shadow Guard was secretly dealt with."
