Chapter 525: Everyone Has Their Own Thoughts on Slaying the Dragon
A Taoist priest, a swordsman, and a knifeman, it was raining, each holding an umbrella, no one spoke.
The three of them walked lightly on the street side by side.
The Taoist priest was dressed in black, his name was Yao Xisheng, his origins were unknown, but his current origins were from Shu, and he was known as [Monster], but nowadays, many people call him [Monster Taoist].
The swordsman beside him is a tall and slender man named Wu Shuang, who comes from a place called "Buertang", which is located in the Western Regions bordering Shu and Tubo. Because it is on the border, it can be said to be a lawless area.
The swordsman was a short old man named Ouyang Chu. He carried a broadsword on his back. He was from the Ouyang family and was a servant of the family.
Passing by a noodle stall, the Taoist priest felt a little hungry, mainly because he had just seen the Empress eating noodles, and he was thinking about it and his mouth was greedy, so without asking the two people beside him, he walked straight to the table next to the stall.
As for the remaining two people, Wu Shuang smiled and followed. Ouyang Chu had a blank expression on his face, but he also walked to the Taoist priest and asked the shopkeeper for a bowl.
Wu Shuang looked at the Taoist priest, thought for a moment, and then respectfully addressed him as "Mr. Yao".
[Buertang] was supported by the King of Shu, but it did not mean that the people in [Buertang] recognized Yao Xisheng, especially since this was the first time Wu Shuang met Yao Xisheng.
Then, Wu Shuang said, "Did you discover us?"
Yao Xisheng did not answer Wu Shuang, but looked at Ouyang Chu: "What do you think, old senior?"
Ouyang Chu said: "I have the strength to fight against the ten candidates in the world."
Yao Xisheng sighed: "It's so terrifying."
Wu Shuang said, "Mr. Fang once said that this lady would always be unexpected. He also specifically told us to be careful when we went out on this trip. But Mr. Fang also said that with you, Yao Xisheng, personally in charge of the layout, it should be possible this time."
The noodle stall was already fast, and at this time the stall owner had already brought over a tray with three bowls of noodles.
The Taoist priest was not polite at all. He rolled up a large piece, blew on it a few times, and began to devour it. Then he said incoherently: "Brother Wenhe is praising me. If he were here, it would be possible!"
Having said that, Yao Xisheng swallowed a mouthful of noodles, drank another mouthful of soup, and then looked at Wu Shuang: "The emperor has already made arrangements. I have received news that about thirteen Right Guards have been reactivated. A rough calculation shows that the number of Zhijing is about the same. We need to wait and see about the military strength."
As he said this, he looked at Ouyang Chu.
Ouyang Chu had finished a bowl of noodles, wiped his mouth and said: "Don't look at me, I don't know whether the old monster has been invited out of the mountain. I accompanied you here to see the situation here and report back to the old master."
Yao Xisheng couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you ask?"
Ouyang Chu said, "If we want to talk about this, let's talk on the way back. There's that mentally ill woman Shentu Kuyue in Guangling City. I won't dare to show any trace of my presence if I stay a little longer."
Hearing this name, Wu Shuang spoke up: "I have been in the Western Regions, but I have also heard that there are only two people in the world who use swords, one is Yan Yunxiao and the other is Shen Tu Ku Yue. However, apart from the seniors of this generation, few people in the world have seen Shen Tu Ku Yue take action."
Ouyang Chu said: "There was another old guy, but he disappeared more than ten years ago. If he is still alive, his mountain is like the Pavilion of Heaven. Thank you for your status in the hearts of you swordsmen. As for Shentu Kuyue, he should not be as good as Yan Yunxiao, but he is just not as good as Yan Yunxiao. Half of my sword is missing, and it was chopped off by Shentu Kuyue."
Ouyang Chu didn't care about losing. Maybe it was because he was too old to care about these things anymore. So he stood up and said, "Eat quickly. If she catches our eyes, none of us can escape."
Wu Shuang looked at Ouyang Chu, and seemed to be interested: "Will he be killed even if he has no grudge against him?"
Ouyang Chu said: "It depends on her mood."
As he spoke, he looked back in the direction of West Lake with a serious expression.
Wu Shuang didn't say anything else, but quickly finished his noodles.
Yao Xisheng took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and placed it on the table, then shouted to the shopkeeper, "No need for the change."
Then he walked out of the noodle stall.
Being targeted by Shentu Kuyue, will it really cause them to get into trouble?
The three of them didn't doubt this question at all, because the other party was one of the ten best people in the world, so there was no need to doubt him.
The shop owner was happy.
After the three men walked out of the noodle stall, they went straight towards the city gate.
Ouyang Chu said: "That woman is crazy and does whatever she wants. At present, she is not on the same side as the emperor, but that doesn't mean she will be in the future. So we still have to keep an eye on her. There can't be any mistakes in such matters."
Yao Xisheng smiled, knowing that this senior was saying this to him.
Wu put his hands on the hilt and said, "Where is Feng Jingtang? I have heard many people in the Western Regions mention his name [Snow Moon Flower] Feng Jingtang. In Jianshan, a place full of swordsmen, he is also one of the best swordsmen. He only lost to Lian Xinglan by one move, otherwise he would have been among the top ten candidates in the world."
Yao Xisheng said: "They are not from the same group. It is just that the national master of armor painting is here, so they met by chance. This is certain."
Wu Shuang smiled and said, "After this incident, it's okay for me to ask Jian."
Yao Xisheng stretched out his hand to test the rain and confirmed that it had stopped, so he said: "Brother Wenhe is in charge of Buertang. This time, you all need to listen to me. After this, you can do whatever you want."
Wu Shuang gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and said no more.
Ouyang Chu glanced at Wu Shuang. The young man was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. If the matter this time was so simple, he wouldn't have come here specially to take a look.
Yao Xisheng said, "In this case, it can be confirmed that the emperor is accompanied by two people, Li Xizhi and the Queen, who are at the highest level. The strongest among the others is Yu Kuangjuan, but his origin has been injured, so I'm afraid he will be a ninth-level horizontal practitioner for the rest of his life. Is it the same as I said? Can we go back and let Old Master Ouyang breathe a sigh of relief?"
Yao Xisheng looked at Ouyang Chu.
Ouyang Chu said: "We also need to find out how many of the Thirteen Guards came. Yan Yunxiao can't come, but if Asura comes, it will be troublesome! That man is not as strong as Yan Yunxiao, but he has many tricks."
Yao Xisheng looked at Ouyang Chu: "Any arrangement, any strategy, is nothing in the face of absolute power."
Ouyang Chu looked at Yao Xisheng and said, "I need to see your arrangements. I need to take a look at the Ouyang family and the soldiers of other families who are involved before I can hand them all over to you."
Yao Xisheng said: "If we want to succeed this time, you should understand that we must meet two conditions."
Yao Xisheng continued, "First, hold back the thirteen or so brave guards. Second, have enough power to match the emperor's backup plan."
After a short pause, he said, "I have already arranged the former, but for the latter, I know that you are strong enough to be on par with the top ten candidates in the world. In this way, there will be no problem in leaving the Empress to you. Li Xizhi uses a gun, and I happen to have someone who uses a gun here. But if you just think that the emperor has no strong guards in the dark, that's not right. Yan Yunxiao didn't follow, which means that she trusts the emperor's guards. Then we need to think about who is in the dark, so at least there must be two people with strength equivalent to the top ten candidates in the world, or one person with the strength of the top ten in the world."
Wu Shuang glanced at Ouyang Chu. Killing the emperor was the family's business. According to the prince's instructions, their mission was to kill him if they could. If they couldn't kill him, they should at least kill the queen.
The purpose is the same, but fundamentally different.
Ouyang Chu looked at Yao Xisheng, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Didn't you send the letter? Please come out, right?"
Hearing this, Yao Xisheng counted with his fingers and said, "Doesn't this increase our chances of winning by another 50%?"
Wu Shuang knew very well that he originally only had a 30% chance of winning, but because of one person, it increased to 50%.
However, even as arrogant as he was, he did not doubt that man's strength.
After all, the invincible title in [Two Invincibles] is not just a random title.
Yao Xisheng was in a good mood, looking at Ouyang Chu: "Take you to see the people I brought with me? And I think we'd better walk faster, I can feel that Shentu Kuyue has begun to notice us."
