Chapter 398 Xuan Yi changes his mind

Xuan Yi was not afraid of the prince getting angry. He didn't even take a mortal seriously. He said calmly, "I didn't say that. The prince didn't say what it was. I don't know if I can do it."

The prince was so angry at Xuan Yi that he lost his temper. He took a deep breath and said, "Listen carefully, Taoist priest. You know Murong Li from Xifeng Country, right? This couple is very powerful in martial arts and very strange. I want you to kill these two people. This shouldn't be difficult for you, Taoist priest. You won't refuse, right?

If the Taoist priest succeeds, I will definitely reward him and even go to the emperor to commend him. It just so happens that the Imperial Preceptor's Office is short of a National Preceptor, so I can recommend the Taoist priest to the emperor."

This damn Taoist priest has always been like this. I'm afraid he's the kind of person who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. He has spread this bait and he doesn't believe that this damn Taoist priest won't be tempted.

A Taoist priest should be practicing in a Taoist temple, not for fame or profit, so why would he come out?

After hearing this, Xuan Yi frowned slightly. He had heard a lot about Murong Li and the other man, and King Rui would discuss it with him every day.

He also had a certain understanding of these two people. The impression they gave him was that they were very skilled and brave, and they were so bold that they dared to come to the capital of Dongfeng alone and even kill people in the palace.

What's more, both of them are still safe and sound. They are really extraordinary people.

His senior brother's departure should be related to these two people.

I just don't know why.

He had never met the two of them and had no idea what kind of people they were.

He also felt that the thefts in the capital must be related to these two people, and he was very curious about how they were able to steal the property of so many families by themselves and how they transported it away.

Now the prince asked him to come because of the two of them, and promised him the matter of the national teacher, which aroused his interest. Originally, his purpose was to get the national teacher.

So he changed his mind and nodded, saying, "I can't be 100% sure of killing them both. After all, I haven't seen them before, so I don't know how powerful they are."

Xuan Yi was certain that he could complete this task, but he still left himself a way out and did not make any promises. This was a means of self-protection.

In his mind, he was a cultivator after all, and could use some unconventional techniques. Even if Murong Li's martial arts skills were very strong, he could easily defeat him.

As for Princess Li, it goes without saying. How strong can a woman be?

It was his first-leader thinking that eventually led to his downfall at the hands of Su Yue, and it was too late for him to regret.

Seeing that he had agreed, the Crown Prince's anger subsided a little. He said solemnly, "Prince Li and his wife left the capital last night. The court is sending someone to Qingniu Pass to retrieve the captured soldiers. I will send someone to inform Prime Minister Yang. The two of you should quickly catch up with him. It would be best if you kill these two men before they reach Qingniu Pass and bring back everything they have with them."

Murong Li and his companion were carrying one million taels of gold, the title deed to the Qingniu Mountains, and ten thousand war horses. As long as they killed these two men, these things would naturally be taken back.

Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and nodded, saying, "I will follow the prince's arrangements."

He was sent to kill Murong Li, and another person was sent to accompany him. This clearly showed that they did not trust him.

But he didn't care. He just wanted to kill Murong Li and his wife and sit on the throne of the national teacher.

He only seeks fame, not profit. He wants to prove to his blind master who is his most powerful disciple and who is more qualified to inherit his mantle.

Seeing that he was quite understanding, the prince was in a particularly good mood. He immediately asked the servants in the mansion to wait for Prime Minister Yang at the palace gate after the court session, and told him about the Taoist Master Xuanyi and asked him to make arrangements.

Anyway, Prime Minister Yang is the gun in his hand, and he can shoot wherever he points.

Prime Minister Yang was a smart man, and he didn't have to put in much effort to get things done.

I hope that this time we can successfully get rid of this scourge Murong Li.

He came to Dongfeng Country and left it impoverished and suffering heavy losses.

If such people are not killed, the royal family of Dongfeng Kingdom will not have peace.

Today's morning court was particularly simple. The main matter was Murong Li's affairs. It was over in less than an hour.

Since Murong Li is not dead, we must send someone to Qingniu Pass now.

Emperor Dong Feng directly sent General Qi there.

After receiving the order, General Qi began to prepare to go to Qingniu Pass.

As soon as Prime Minister Yang left the palace, he was waited for by the prince's men, who told Prime Minister Yang the prince's arrangements.

Prime Minister Yang then told the servant to let Xuanyi wait for General Qi at the city gate.

Prime Minister Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he knew Xuan Yi had agreed.

Prince Rui is the Crown Prince's rival. As the future father-in-law of the emperor, he must have spies in all the princes' and officials' residences, and even in the imperial palace. Once something happens, he will be able to get the news first and then make countermeasures.

Therefore, he knew very well what ability Xuan Yi had to deal with Murong Li.

When the prince asked him to help find extraordinary people, he thought of Xuanyi.

But what he didn't know was that the National Master was Xuanyi's senior brother, and he didn't know that although Taoist Xuanyi looked like a decent person and had an immortal demeanor, he was actually cruel and ruthless, did all kinds of bad things, and would do anything to achieve his goals.

If he had known, Prime Minister Yang would definitely not have employed such a person.

People who are too cruel, too kind, or too indecisive are not within the range of people that Prime Minister Yang would employ.

People who are too cruel will not recognize their relatives. They only care about benefits. When it is beneficial to them, they will treat you like brothers. Once the benefits are gone, they will turn their backs on you.

It often puts you in an irretrievable situation.

Prime Minister Yang understood this principle very well, so the people he employed were all loyal to him.

Kind people are often indecisive, and there is nothing to be exploited about them. If you ask them to do something against their will, they will never do it. They are hesitant and afraid of death.

When the prince learned that it was General Qi who went, he quickly told Xuanyi, and Xuanyi left the city with his bag on his back.

At noon, the two met and decided to go to the horse farm first.

General Qi thought that Murong Li would go to the stable and drive the horses away.

They were the only couple who showed up in the capital, and General Qi didn't believe that they didn't bring anyone with them.

So they had enough power to drive away 10,000 horses.

Xuan Yi didn't care. His mission was to kill Murong Li and his wife. As for what General Qi wanted to do, as long as it didn't affect him, he didn't mind cooperating.

Both of them were riding horses. General Qi also brought twenty guards, all of whom were on horseback. The group rode towards the horse farm.
