Rebirth of the Phoenix

Lost his life here

King Xiaoyao has not returned to the General's Mansion for several days. He has been staying in the brothel, drunk and dreaming.

This made both Phantom and Youmang feel something was wrong.

King Xiaoyao is not a drunken and lustful man. Even if he goes to a brothel, he only goes to listen to music and watch music. He will never fall into a gentle country.

But this time, he stayed in the brothel for several days, and even though the government sent people to urge him to come back to handle official business, he ignored him. Isn't it abnormal?

After thinking for a long time, Phantom said: "I have to keep an eye on the prince. If there is anything unusual, I will have someone come back to report it."

You Mang said: "Be careful, the prince will definitely be on guard."

Phantom nodded: "I understand."

Then, he disguised himself and left the general's mansion.

In Zuihuan Tower, Ye Yingxian was drunk again tonight, and was helped into the room by the oiran, and they lay down together.

In the middle of the night, Zuihuan Tower finally lost its bustle and became quiet.

At this time, Ye Yingxian suddenly sat up, quickly put on his clothes, jumped out of the window, and left Zuihuan Building under the cover of darkness.

In the alley next to Zuihuan Tower, Dong Xian and Xixian had been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as he appeared, they joined him and left quickly, not knowing where to go.

The phantom followed them silently, like a ghost.

The name "Phantom" not only implies his superb Qinggong and tracking skills, but also represents the Queen Mother's regard for him. Anyone who can be named "Shadow" means that he is recognized by the master of the Shadow family.

Ye Yingxian entered a very long and deep alley. There were high walls on both sides of the alley, no lights, and no other people.

After the Phantom hesitated for a while, he still followed in.

He just wanted to see what King Xiaoyao was doing and would not disturb him, so there should be no problem.

After his departure, he did not come back for two whole days, and no news was sent back.

Ye Yingxian and his two guards did not come back either. Instead, they sent someone to deliver a message to the general's mansion: "We are out for fun and will come back in a few days."

When Youmang heard the message, his eyes darkened slightly: Phantom, something may have happened!

Thinking of this, he stood up and after tidying up, he said, "Come out with me."

He is going to find the Phantom.

His body is already filled with all kinds of poisons. The little green snake on his wrist is in good spirits. He is invincible like this.

He first came to the vicinity of Zuihuan Tower. After searching for a while, he finally found a secret and inconspicuous mark. Following this mark, he found the next place and saw similar marks...

Following these marks, he walked along a long alley along the place where the phantom passed, and then came to a remote forest.

He saw no more signs in this forest.

He ordered his men: "Master Phantom is probably in this forest. Work in pairs and search separately. If you find anything, send a signal."

King Xiaoyao is definitely not a submissive man, and he has extensive connections. Maybe he has other arrangements or plans secretly in Gucheng, and they must not be careless.

Then, he took one of his men and slowly searched in the direction ahead.

There was no one else in the woods, but he still keenly smelled the smell of blood in the air and saw the covered up traces of a fight.

There was a fight here, probably not too long ago.

The Phantom is stalking King Xiaoyao alone. Is something going to happen?

While he was thinking about it, he noticed a person lying in front of him. Looking at the figure, he seemed to be a phantom.

Did something happen to Phantom? He thought to himself, but did not rush over. Instead, he calmly observed the surroundings and said to the men who were with him: "Search carefully around."

The men responded and looked around.

After Youmang's sight found no ambush or trap, he walked towards the figure.

The man was lying on the ground, covered in blood, with many leaves falling from his body.

He stopped two meters away from the man and looked carefully for a while. After confirming that it was the phantom, he walked over and gently felt the phantom's breath.

Still breathing weakly.

"Phantom?" He gently patted Phantom's face, "Wake up, wake up quickly——"

Phantom slowly opened her eyes, trembled her lips, and uttered a few words with difficulty: "There is an ambush... leave quickly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Youmang heard the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air from behind him.

But he was already on guard, quickly drew his knife and struck back.

It's summer now, when the grass and trees are in full bloom, and this is a forest with dense tree crowns everywhere, making it an excellent place for an ambush.

In addition, since the other party wanted to kill Phantom, how could he leave Phantom's body here without taking it away or destroying it?

It's obviously a scam!

Therefore, since he discovered the phantom, he has been paying attention to the movements around him.

There was a flash of cold light, and the arrow shot from behind was cut off by him with a swing of his sword.

Then, another arrow came, and he cut it off again with his sword.

Then, he whistled, signaling his men to gather here and prepare to get rid of the shooter hidden in the big tree.

In order to prevent him from discovering his whereabouts, there must not be many ambushers here. He and his people must be able to get rid of all the ambushers.

However, as soon as he finished blowing the whistle and was about to run over, he was stabbed in the back.

The knife struck his spine, causing him to stagger and turn around in pain.

Behind him, "Phantom" slashed him, threw away the knife in his hand, and ran wildly into the depths of the woods.

Youmang's face darkened, murderous intent rising on his face.

This "Phantom" turned out to be fake!

He didn't even notice it!

How could someone pretend to be the Phantom and look so similar to him, even he was able to hide it? Such amazing disguise and acting skills!

He wanted to poison the opponent, but the opponent seemed to know that he could not defeat him and ran away like a ghost. He quickly distanced himself and escaped from the range of his poison.

He wanted to catch up, but after running a few steps, he had to stop and hold on to the tree trunk to catch his breath.

The knife that hit him in the back was poisonous!

He is not afraid of poison, but after he was poisoned last time in Tiandu, he relied on fighting poison with poison to suppress the poison. If he was poisoned too much, his body would inevitably be affected. Now that he was poisoned again, his body

My body is very uncomfortable.

The poison this time was very strong. An ordinary person would have died quickly from the poison, but he just felt uncomfortable physically.

Forget it, no need to chase, let's go back first, he thought, waiting for his men to come over.

However, he did not wait for his men to come over.

He could only smell a faint murderous aura and blood, so he suddenly understood that his men must have been ambushed, and maybe they were all killed.

This knowledge made him aware of unprecedented danger!

He quickly ran out of the woods, but the symptoms of poisoning made him dizzy and weak.

Not long after running, a man appeared in front of him, raising his bow and arrow and pointing it at him.

When he saw this man, he knew in his heart that he was doomed this time!

Ye Yingxian - the person who raises his bow and points it at him is the Xiaoyao King.

Although King Xiaoyao's archery skills are not as good as those of Phantom, they are not far behind. It is not too difficult to hit him now.

He did not try to escape, but waved his hand vigorously, throwing the little green snake wrapped around his wrist in the direction of King Xiaoyao.

He is not afraid of death. Anyone in this profession can die for his master at any time, but he must die well.

King Xiaoyao will definitely not be able to see this little green snake at such a long distance. Even if he sees it, he will not be able to kill him. As long as he is bitten by this little green snake, King Xiaoyao will be dead - take him

It’s worth exchanging your life for King Xiaoyao’s life!

When the little green snake was thrown out, Ye Yingxian also shot a fatal arrow.

The arrow pierced Youmang's chest very accurately.

Youmang fell down without even making a sound.

When he fell, the little green snake had been thrown away in front of Ye Yingxian. Ye Yingxian found the little green snake and knew how poisonous it was, but he had just shot an arrow with all his strength.

, the body cannot dodge in time.

Unexpectedly, he, King Xiaoyao, would die here...

He sighed in his heart, there was no fear, only unwillingness: his life should not be sacrificed just to get rid of such a person!

At this moment, a person suddenly rushed out from the side like lightning and jumped on him.

The little green snake pounced on the man's arm, opened its mouth, and bit down with its small, sharp snake teeth.

Probably knowing that the owner was gone, the little snake bit hard, and the snake's teeth penetrated the thin clothes and were embedded in the flesh.

The two men took the snake and fell to the ground.

After Ye Yingxian fainted, she pushed the man away and got up.

The man was dressed in black and masked, with a small snake biting on his arm. His body was twitching slightly, and he was obviously seriously poisoned.

"Who are you? Why do you want to save me?" Ye Yingxian asked, took out his dagger, squatted down, and cut the little green snake in half with one stroke.

The masked man opened his eyes slightly and looked at him.

The moment Ye Yingxian touched these eyes, he was shocked: Could it be... him?

He pulled off the man's mask, and sure enough, that face... was almost exactly the same as the emperor's, especially those peach blossom eyes, which he was particularly familiar with.

This man is Ye Jiu! He is the fugitive he let go many years ago!

Unexpectedly, he would meet him here, and in this situation.

Ye Jiu's face had turned purple. It was obvious that the poison was too deep and there was no way to survive... and he could not speak.

Ye Yingxian looked at Ye Jiu in silence for a while, and then said slowly: "I wanted to kill you, but you blocked this poisonous snake for me, and you won't live long. I will be inseparable from you from now on."

No, I'll say goodbye."

He let Yejiu go, and now that Yejiu had saved his life, he no longer owed anyone anything.

He had many things to ask Ye Jiu, but Ye Jiu could no longer answer any of his questions, and there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

But why did he feel so heavy and uncomfortable when he saw Ye Jiu die?

Is it because Ye Jiu has the same face as the emperor, so when he looks at Ye Jiu, it's like seeing his beloved brother die?

His heart was throbbing in pain, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He walked quickly to Youmang's side, picked up Youmang's knife, and slashed it towards his throat.

Youmang's throat was bleeding, and his body didn't even move.

Only then did Ye Yingxian confirm that Youmang was really dead. He took out a piece of black cloth from his arms, covered Youmang's body, wrapped his body tightly, and carried him away.

Youmang's body was full of poison, and he couldn't risk touching Youmang's body.
