Following Li Wenbin's roar, the assassins who were intercepting the palace guards immediately looked in the direction of Li Wenbin. When they saw that the group of companions who had surrounded and killed Li Wenbin had fallen down, their faces changed one by one.
"Oh no, there is a strong man secretly protecting Li Wenbin. The mission has failed. Retreat in all directions, one who escapes at a time." The killers retreated decisively.
The palace guards who were intercepted came to Li Wenbin in a hurry. They did not chase the killer because their mission was to protect Li Wenbin.
"Prince, are you okay? Hey, what's this?" When these guys came to Li Wenbin and saw the people lying on the ground, they were all stunned.
Li Wenbin immediately scolded them harshly.
"You guys came too late. If it weren't for these two girls by my side, I would probably be dead." Li Wenbin judged with a serious face.
These guards all looked sad at the same time.
"Prince, didn't you tell us not to follow?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wenbin raised the folding fan in his hand again and hit the captain of the guard on the head.
"I'm going to hit you on the head, you pig. I told you not to follow me, but you really didn't want to? There's something else I'm saying, don't you understand? Don't you know to hide around me where I can't see you? Can't you be smarter?" Li Wenbin taught a lesson.
It was unclear whether these guards were smiling bitterly or laughing, there was only one thought in their minds: OK, you are the boss and your word is what you say.
"Okay, Your Majesty, do you still want to continue being a guide? If you don't want to, our two sisters will leave." Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes as she looked at Li Wenbin's unreasonable look.
"Okay, okay, you guys continue to disappear and don't let me see you. I'll continue shopping with these two girls." Li Wenbin gestured.
This caused a lot of headaches for the guards.
"No way, Prince, those killers haven't been caught yet, they just escaped. It's not appropriate for you to do this. If the prince blames us, we will be in trouble." The captain of the guard wanted to cry but had no tears.
They are the unlucky ones who have to deal with such a boss.
Of course, they were just saying that. After all, Li Wenbin told them that these two women were cultivators.
However, these killers did not show up again. After all, they all knew that Li Wenbin was surrounded by extremely powerful masters, and it was impossible for them to attack again.
As they walked, they came to the city wall at the main entrance. Outside was a refugee camp of hundreds of thousands and countless fruit trees. The camp suddenly became lively.
Having no shortage of food is the greatest happiness for the refugees. As for those simple dwellings, they have enough food and drink, and have plenty of ways to build them.
"Oh, it's strange to think that so many fruit trees suddenly grew outside the city. It looks like God is helping these refugees."
Li Wenbin picked a peach from a peach tree on the city wall and tasted it.
"Prince, you are so casual, aren't you afraid that these fruits are poisonous?" Ye Liuyun looked amused when he saw Li Wenbin eating them as he said.
But Li Wenbin looked indifferent.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, our food in Donghai City is almost gone. If the fruits of these trees are poisonous, we might as well just die of gluttony. Besides, we tried it yesterday and it's not poisonous." Li Wenbin said.
After saying that, Li Wenbin picked two fruits and asked Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun if they wanted to eat them.
Ye Liuyun was very rude. She tasted one and it had no taste, just like ordinary fruit. As for the Dragon Spirit Jade, she did not eat it. After all, it was just an ordinary fruit and had no value to her.
"My lord, I think you in Donghai City need to manage the people in your city. Look at them, they go to pick the fruits in truckloads, and then they rot within a few days of being dragged back. This is a waste of God's gift, so be careful of divine punishment." Ye Liuyun reminded him nonchalantly.
This reminded Li Wenbin that Li Wenbin had not arrived here yet.
"Eh? That's true. This matter is too outrageous. I didn't even think about it in this regard. There are so many fruit trees, and there is no rush to pick them all in one day. Hey! Come over there." Li Wenbin called to a soldier on the city wall.
When the soldier heard Li Wenbin calling him, he hurried over.
"My humble servant greets the Crown Prince. I wonder what your orders are." The soldier saluted hurriedly.
"Well, pass on my order to prohibit the people in the city from hoarding large quantities of fruits. If they push carts to pick fruits, can the whole family finish eating them? Won't it all be wasted?" Li Wenbin gestured.
The soldier nodded and hurried to convey the order.
But not long after, the guards came again, and this time they came to convey the orders of the Prince of Donghai.
"Prince, the prince asked you to go back to the palace." The captain of the guard appeared out of nowhere and asked Li Wenbin to go back.
When Li Wenbin heard this, he suddenly became reluctant. He looked at Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun.
"Ladies, I'll excuse myself from your visit. My father has called me back." Li Wenbin bowed to Ye Liuyun and the others.
"Well, go ahead." Ye Liuyun nodded.
Just like that, the three of them separated after talking for an hour.
Look at Li Wenbin's expression again, his face is full of happy smiles. Many times, even if beautiful things cannot be obtained, it is a good thing to be able to remain in memory.
After Li Wenbin left, Long Lingyun curiously asked Ye Liuyun a question. She didn't think Ye Liuyun was just an ordinary cultivator. She was not even sure whether Ye Liuyun was a human being.
"Who are you? How can you create so many fruit trees out of thin air? Add to that the method you used last time. To be honest, even if I met you in my prime, I would have no chance of winning." Long Lingyun asked Ye Liuyun a question.
Ye Liuyun touched his chin, rolled his eyes, coughed a few times, and spoke solemnly.
"Ahem, listen carefully. I am the reincarnation of the Eternal Heavenly Lord from the upper realm. I am here to play in the lower realm this time. You can think of me as a god."
Ye Liuyun's immature tone made Long Lingyun roll her eyes.
"Are you kidding me? It's boring. Forget it. Anyway, I'm not particularly concerned about your background." Long Lingyun laughed and was too lazy to ask more questions.
"Look, I told you, but you didn't believe it. If I told you that I'm just an ordinary cultivator, you definitely wouldn't believe it either. So, since you don't believe it, then just do whatever you want?" Ye Liuyun smiled.
After hearing this, Long Lingyun calmed down and thought about it. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with this statement. No matter what Ye Liuyun said, she might not believe it.
"makes sense."
The two of them didn't stroll for long before returning to their residence.
In the next two days, the Prince's Mansion was bustling, because the killers who were knocked unconscious by Ye Liuyun were captured by the people in the Prince's Mansion and tortured. Under heavy torture, these people quickly told the truth about the people behind them.
The group that secretly assassinated Li Wenbin was Li Wenbin's elder brother, Li Wenzhe, the eldest son of the Prince's Mansion.
This is not in the palace, but in the study of the Prince of Donghai.
I saw a young man a few years older than Li Wenbin kneeling in the study and shivering. Li Wenbin was also there.
"You evil creature, you actually dared to send assassins to kill your brother in the chaos. Who gave you the courage? Do you think I'm dead?" The Prince of Donghai stood up from the poker table and roared at Li Wenzhe.
Li Wenzhe did not beg for mercy, nor did he explain, because since this matter had been discovered, he must be dealt with. As for how to deal with him, that was not something he could decide, and no matter how much he explained, it would be meaningless.
Li Wenzhe was deceived. He had secret dealings with people in the imperial court. The people in the imperial court promised him that if he helped the Prince of Donghai to stand on the side of the imperial court to resist the rebel king, he would inherit the position of the Prince of Donghai afterwards.
The plan was simple, just kill Li Wenbin and then put the blame on those rebel kings, and everything would go smoothly. However, who knew that Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun would come out to disrupt the plan, not only ruining their killing plan, but also exposing him.
After scolding Li Wenzhe, the Prince of Donghai glanced at Li Wenbin. Seeing that Li Wenbin did not speak, he gave another order.
"Don't want to say? Forget it. Come here, drag this evil creature out and lock him up. Without my order, he is never allowed to step out of the yard." Seeing that his eldest son kept his head down and remained silent, the Prince of Donghai was too lazy to ask any more questions, because the other party did not explain a word, obviously, he agreed.
Li Wenbin just watched without saying a word. In fact, if he had opened his mouth, Li Wenzhe would have been dead. It was impossible for Li Wenbin to plead for someone who wanted to kill him, even if he was his brother. Not adding insult to injury was already merciful.
After Li Wenzhe was dragged away, the father and son began to talk.
"Father, didn't my eldest brother tell me which force tricked my eldest brother into killing me?" Li Wenbin was very curious.
"Hmph! Is there even any need to say more? It must be the imperial court. Don't you think about who is more anxious at this time? It must be my brother who is more anxious. Except for Zhongzhou, the King of Chu in Nanling, the King of Qin in Xichuan, and the King of Yan in Beiyuan have almost all confronted the imperial court. As for our Donghuang, because there are three princes fighting, the imperial court still has some power to disrupt the situation." The Prince of Donghai said coldly.
Anyone with common sense could see that it was the imperial court who did this. They wanted to use this method to make him fall out with his nephews. The Prince of Donghai was the younger brother of the previous emperor, and naturally the uncle of these princes.
Of course, the previous emperor definitely does not refer to the little emperor who died suddenly.
"Father, this matter is very strange. I always feel that there is a dark hand controlling everything from behind. Otherwise, why would the princes of the four major regions rebel at the same time and not even give the court a chance to explain?" Li Wenbin murmured.
The Prince of Donghai shook his head.
"There must be someone behind all this, but I don't know who it is and I can't think of it. But one thing is certain, that is, the four major families are definitely involved." said the Prince of Donghai.
Because it's very simple. Rebellion requires money and people. What can the princes do relying solely on their own guards?
The Prince of Donghai does not think that his nephews have the ability to accumulate a lot of wealth and manpower in such a short period of time.
The only explanation is that someone is helping them behind the scenes. After thinking about it, he can only think of the four major families. Only the four major families have this ability.
"This? Even they betrayed the court? Father, could something have happened up there? After their rebellion, almost all of the court practitioners stationed in various parts of our Eastern Wilderness withdrew to Zhongzhou. This is obviously a problem." Li Wenbin said again.
The Prince of Donghai sighed repeatedly.
"Oh! Let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, let's just take it one day at a time. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to discuss the issues concerning those refugees outside with me? Tell me what you think." The Prince of Donghai gestured.
Li Wenbin immediately started talking about the refugees. He felt that these refugees should not be wasted, and the large number of fruit trees outside also needed to be protected. They should not be allowed to be cut down indiscriminately. After all, a large number of fruits would grow again next year, and these were renewable resources.
The Prince of Donghai also felt that what his son said made sense, so he arranged these things.
Two days later, Jiang Wanshan came back.
"Master, I have completed the task you assigned to me. These are the extra pills, which I am returning to you now. Eh? Who is this girl?" As soon as Jiang Wanshan entered Ye Liuyun's room, he discovered that there was a beautiful girl sitting at the window of Ye Liuyun's room.
Even at his age, his heart couldn't help but tremble when he saw Long Lingyun. There was nothing he could do, she was too beautiful.
"Oh, don't worry, she is transformed from my weapon, Bingpo, come back." Ye Liuyun smiled at Long Lingyun, and the next moment, Long Lingyun turned back into Bingpo and returned to Ye Liuyun's hands.
This scene surprised Jiang Wanshan again. This weapon could transform into a human being, so it must be at least at the initial level of the Earth Rank. Of course, he was only surprised for a moment. Compared with Ye Liuyun's other things, this matter was nothing.
"Is that so? This sword must be a top-grade earth-level magic weapon." Jiang Wanshan exclaimed.
"Okay, let's go. Take me to the Dongfang Family." Ye Liuyun took away the extra pills and left with Jiang Wanshan.
They flew directly out of Donghai City and headed towards the East China Sea Islands.
It is estimated that it will take half a day to reach Oriental Island. There are many merchant ships coming and going on the sea, but most of them are ships from coastal cities.
Chapter 441 Conflict with the Dongfang Family (5000 words + 3100 monthly tickets plus more)
Half a day later...
The flying boat that Ye Liuyun was riding on landed over an uninhabited sea area.
"Eh? Strange, according to the route in the memory of the Prince of Donghai, this should be the place, but why is there nothing at this location?" Jiang Wanshan looked puzzled, and then scanned with his spiritual sense.
But unfortunately, his spiritual sense still could not feel the existence of an island here, it was as if there was really nothing here.
However, Lin Qingyou's divine sense easily saw through the real scene here. There was indeed an island in this place, but this island was protected by a heavenly-level formation, and cultivators below the Nirvana Secret Realm could not perceive it at all.
"Master, there is really nothing." Jiang Wanshan looked at Ye Liuyun helplessly.
But when he saw Ye Liuyun, he found that the original female Ye Liuyun was gone, and a handsome young man appeared behind her.
"Eh? Master, what are you doing?" Jiang Wanshan was stunned. He didn't quite understand what Ye Liuyun was doing.
Jiang Wanshan definitely didn't know that Ye Liuyun was once a man.
The Ye family thinks of her as a real man, so Ye Liuyun must disguise herself as a man to meet his sister.
"Don't ask. I'll tell you after I finish the job. Don't reveal the fact that I'm a woman." Ye Liuyun reminded.
Jiang Wanshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to nod and say yes.
"Okay, then what should we do next? Maybe I found the wrong place. It's easy to make mistakes in this vast ocean." Jiang Wanshan asked.
"No, no, no, you are not mistaken, it is here, but you just can't see it. There is a huge heavenly formation here." Ye Liuyun said.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wanshan's face was shocked.
"Heaven, Heaven-level formation? Didn't you say that this Dongfang family is just a secular family?" Jiang Wanshan was shocked.
"Did I say that? I just said that the place I was looking for was the Dongfang family, but I never said that the Dongfang family had nothing to do with the cultivation world. Don't frame me." Ye Liuyun retorted.
Jiang Wanshan thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case.
"Then do we need our subordinates to attack the formation and call out the people inside?" Jiang Wanshan asked.
Since there is a formation here and they can't force their way in, they can only scare people out and then explain their purpose.
Ye Liuyun thought about it and this seemed to be the only solution at the moment, so he nodded to Jiang Wanshan.
But just as Jiang Wanshan was about to attack the sea in front of him, something unexpected happened. Ripples suddenly appeared in the empty space in front of them.
Then, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a navy blue dress, flew out in a panic.
After she flew out, several people followed her.
"Dieyi, stop, you can't run away." A young man led several monks in the Dao Palace realm and shouted.
"No, my family has gone too far. I know my qualifications are not that good, but why should you have the final say on my marriage? You want me to marry into the Tianshui Fairy Palace? No way. I would rather die than obey you." The girl in the blue group said angrily.
But the group of people behind her didn't listen to what the girl said at all. They surrounded the girl at an extremely fast speed.
The girl was only in the Dao Palace Foundation Establishment Stage, while the young man chasing her was in the middle Dao Palace Stage. As for the others, they were also in the middle Dao Palace Stage. There was no way the girl could escape.
"Dieyi, don't be willful. The family has already decided on this matter. You have to marry even if you disagree. Besides, Tianshui Fairy Palace is the largest fairy gate in the East China Sea Islands of Donghuang. There are only advantages and no disadvantages for you to marry into the East China Sea Islands." The young man said seriously.
"Brother, are you still my biological brother? Mother and father don't agree with this matter. Why do you help the family to capture your biological sister?" The girl was very angry.
The young man was silent for a moment, but not for long.
