Chapter 393: Don't Know Life or Death
He wanted him to return to the capital alone so that he could assassinate him on the way. Murong Li despised Dong Fenghuang in his heart as a fool who sent people to die. He could even kill his own secret guards, so how powerful could the next person be?
He is simply asking for his own life.
Prime Minister Yang politely bowed to him and said, "Then I will take my leave."
After saying that, he got on the carriage and drove away quickly.
Murong Li snorted coldly, mounted his horse, and headed towards the capital.
There was a section of road leading to the capital that was more suitable for an ambush. Murong Li arrived at this section of road. He didn't even get off his horse. He just clamped his legs around the horse's belly and slapped the horse's butt hard with his hands. The horse felt pain and ran away.
When the killers who were ambushing on both sides saw this scene, they jumped out and attacked him from the front, back, left and right. However, when Murong Li saw the killers flying in front, he swung out with both palms, and two strong palm winds hit the killers. The killers' feet hadn't even touched the ground yet, and they were hit by Murong Li's palm winds. They were directly knocked away by his palm winds and fell heavily to the ground.
Because the road was covered with snow and due to inertia, the killers slid a long way on the snow before stopping.
But before they could dodge, they were trampled twice by the charging horses.
“Puff…”
The killers spurted blood, their eyes rolled back, and then they went to hell.
The killers who were chasing after them widened their eyes when they saw this scene. Their companions did not die at Murong Li's hands, but were trampled to death by the horse.
They clearly saw that the horse deliberately stepped on their companion and stepped on him hard.
What kind of horse is this? Has it become a spirit?
The horse Murong Li rode was not an ordinary horse, but a horse that had been raised in Su Yue's space. It had long been intelligent. When it saw so many people coming to kill its master, the horse raised its hooves and stepped on the killers.
And crushed it hard.
Murong Li curled his lips. The killer would never have thought that he would die under the horse's hooves.
Ha ha ha ha……
Murong Li laughed heartily in his heart. While urging his horse to run, he turned around and swung out two palms to hit the killers chasing him.
The palm wind swept through, and any killer who was hit by the palm wind fell to the ground.
"Everyone go up and kill him together."
The leader of the assassins was furious. Six or seven people had died without even a direct confrontation, and he would not stop until he killed this man.
After hearing this, the killers all rushed towards Murong Li.
However, what they didn't expect was that Murong Li suddenly flew up from the horse and flew towards them.
The killers raised their swords and rushed towards Murong Li, but unexpectedly a long sword suddenly appeared in Murong Li's hand, and in the blink of an eye, the murderous sword energy attacked them.
"ah……"
The killers' pupils shrank, it was too late to escape, so they could only raise their swords to block. However, Murong Li had deep internal strength, and wherever the sword energy passed, the killers' swords were cut off. The residual power of the sword energy had not yet diminished, and wherever the sword energy passed, it would cut the killers in two.
When the killers were dying, they could still see blood spurting from the wounds on their waists.
They died with their eyes wide open, and they almost died before they even had time to make a move.
Five of the killers were killed this time, and the rest were killed. Seeing Murong Li was so fierce, the leader gritted his teeth and whistled.
The killers heard the signal to retreat, turned around and retreated, disappearing in the snow and ice in the blink of an eye.
They were all killers who took money from people to help them avoid disasters. They didn't expect that their opponent was such a powerful character. Half of their own people were killed before their clothes were even touched.
This money can no longer be earned.
Murong Li did not chase after them. He believed that one should not chase after a desperate enemy. He just flew to the bodies of the killers and searched them, but did not find any useful clues. However, he received a lot of silver bills, which he accepted with a smile. Then he kicked the bodies to the side of the road, used his lightness skills to jump onto the horse's back, and galloped away.
It was already evening when Murong Li returned to the capital. Su Yue was finally relieved to see that he had returned safely.
After dinner, the two men came to the lobby of the inn and asked the coachman to help them drive the horses out of the capital.
One of the drivers said hesitantly, "Prince Li, it's not that we don't want to, but the city gates are closed and we really can't get out."
It's so cold that the coachmen are unwilling to drive at all. Now the city gates are closed, how can we get out?
Murong Li looked at them coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes. The drivers' hearts sank and they thought to themselves, "Oh no, they have angered this killer."
"Li, Prince Li, we will leave immediately."
The drivers were terrified, fearing that Murong Li would kill them if they disagreed with him.
Prince Li is the prince of the West Feng Kingdom, not the East Feng Kingdom. Just kill them and there is no way to appeal for justice.
They quickly drove their carriages towards the city gate. As for whether they could leave the capital, it depended on the ability of King Li. They just had to obey his orders.
Murong Li and Su Yue also got on their carriage and followed them to the city gate.
When the shopkeeper saw that they had finally left, he let out a long sigh and quickly closed the door. The inn fee was a small matter; he was just afraid that this killer would destroy the inn.
This inn is the best inn in the capital. Coincidentally, the owner of this inn is Prime Minister Yang.
So the shopkeeper knew how vicious King Li was.
An hour later, the carriage arrived at the city gate, but the soldiers guarding the city were unwilling to let them out. The city lord had closed the gate long ago, and would not open the gate even if the prince came unless there were special circumstances.
Murong Li patted Su Yue gently, signaling her not to do anything. He got off the carriage, approached the soldiers guarding the city, and said coldly, "I am Murong Li from Xifeng State. I want to leave the city tonight. If you don't open the city gate for me, I will tear it down directly."
"hiss!"
It was King Li! The soldiers gasped. How could they, as soldiers, not know about King Li’s deeds? They shuddered unconsciously and hurried to open the city gate.
"Please, King Li!"
The soldiers opened the city gate and respectfully invited Murong Li.
Send this plague away quickly.
Murong Li glanced at them coldly. They still had some vision, otherwise Emperor Dongfeng would have been in trouble again.
The city gate is thick and heavy, and it is not easy to build a city gate.
Then he glared at the coachmen, thinking that this was the end of it. They had to get the items out of the city before Yue'er could collect them.
The coachmen felt even colder in this cold weather. They shivered and drove the carriage out of the city obediently.
After walking for a few miles, Murong Li asked them to stop the carriage and let them find a way to return to the city by themselves.
The coachmen were miserable. What kind of people had they met? They were asked to go back to the city after they had gone so far outside the city gate. There was no village in front and no shop behind. How could they go back? They were not Murong Li, who could threaten the soldiers guarding the city and have the city gate opened for them.
But they had no way to deal with Murong Li, so they could only leave quickly.
