Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The Steps of the Northern Lord

A group of acrobats lined up filled the center of the central hall which was the place to perform. They consist of men and women with each carrying some strange unique equipment according to the field of expertise to perform attractions.

Guests from the nobility could not bear to whisper by putting on facial features of various types, among some of them were young teenagers who looked enthusiastic because of curiosity, but, part of it again is a colossal elder who shows the arrogance of dissatisfaction because acrobatic attractions are usually witnessed by commoners on the edge of the city road.

Ning Xiaoyin from the Ning Family, I don't know what was on the girl's mind. A way like this to boost reputation? It would actually be great if it went well.

"Maybe at first you feel uncomfortable, but, trust me I prepared this wholeheartedly." Ning Xiaoyin's voice sounded straightforwardly full of authoritative charm. He looked brilliantly standing beside the Emperor.

The whispering crowd stopped their voices to look at Ning Xiaoyin with gazes of admiration as well as envy.

Xiu Qixuan smiled faintly when she heard the voice of a rank one minister sitting next to her. "Truly a precious empress candidate."

"Yes, it's precious." Xiu Qixuan muttered by hiding a sour grin behind the wine cup that she was slowly sipping.

He glanced intensely watching the lovebirds who were on the high podium.

Actually Xiu Qixuan did not know clearly about what kind of stratagem Xia Qian Che was wearing. The man is not easy to guess, so cleverly hide the form of thoughts and feelings.

But, so far what can be ascertained is that Ning Xiaoyin is too poor for being the main pawn in all the plans of the northern ruler.

'A..' The entire muscles of Xiu Qixuan's body stiffened, the fruit wine in the vibrating cup spilling over stained the palm of the hand. The girl flinched when accidentally her eyes collided with a pair of eyes as black as the night sky that belonged to Xia Qian Che who had glimpsed at her.

That gaze, the wild and cruel gaze of a ruler who would never show mercy.

"Miss, be careful." Xiao Leng hurried swiftly to his knees grabbing the master's arm to wipe away the sweet stain of wine that was still dripping meticulously on a handkerchief.

"Miss, do you want a changing room to change clothes?" A palace maid who was in charge of serving him gave general advice.

"No, my clothes don't stain too much. Thanks." Xiu Qixuan replied with a gentle smile.

The palace attendant nodded, he retreated back three steps to stand upright in the corner.

After cleaning the master's hand, Xiao Leng put on a questioning look.

"If something happens, avoid it, don't get involved." His whisper was ambiguous. Because he also did not understand, something felt stuck.

"Yes." Yeah." Xiao Leng replied obediently.

The acrobatics show was lively, dazzling the audience. A huge flame was ignited out from within the mouth after the torch was blown by the acrobatic players like amazing magic. One of the prettiest women in the acrobatics showed the attraction of hovering like dancing on the moon with a curtain of colorful cloth tied high on the pole of the hall.

Some players show their abilities, issuing many magic tricks that are quite extreme. The musician plays a song that shakes the spirit to fit the whole show.

The attractions and the song soon ended, Xia Qian Che smiled and said, "A very good appearance. Miss Ning meritorious." The compliment.

"Your Majesty, shrug it off." Reply Ning Xiaoyin met in red lowered her head to hide her face.

Guests clapped with cheerful cheers, whispering about the astonishing spectacle. Ning Xiaoyin's popularity increased rapidly as she became the center of attention due to her skill in discovering a new talent.

Previously, the colonnaded nobility would have thought acrobatics were a vulgar and unattractive spectacle. But their views are more open now.

"The young man leading the attraction performed very well, let him come, zhen wanted to give a gift." Xia Qian Che's voice ruled with a warm smile looking towards one of the thin-bodied young men with short hair and brown skin.

Kasim immediately called the young man to come before the Emperor, he walked over from within the ranks of the entourage.

Xia Qian Che ignored the hand forming a gesture for the servant to rush forward to give the young man a small wooden box that contained a red jade.

Suddenly the young man raised his face and said loudly, "Emperor Xia, servant has something to do!"

Xia Qian Che's handsome face was stunned, slowly turning gloomy.

On the other hand, Ning Xiaoyin gasped in shock and yelled back, "Please!". Then he turned to put on a worried face, "Your Majesty—," Paused.

"What's up?" Xia Qian Che asked flatly calmly towards the young man.

The young man quickly stood up, his right hand hidden behind a sleeve coming out, making a sharp roaring sound. He held the dagger in a cold light. The dagger drew towards Xia Qian Che like a lightning bolt.

"A cruel emperor who does not care about the people of the border. Our Hou village died within this great land!" The sound of the young man's shout made the other members of the acrobat players react by taking out their respective secret weapons.

The unique and strange tools they bring to perform the attraction turn into daggers or short swords. The torch stick became a pointed-eyed spear.

The bodyguards next to the Emperor shouted out to quickly react cutting off the attack. The young man let out a loud roar when his internal organs were unsheathed by a long sword. However, he took advantage to continue moving forward near Xia Qian Che who had a flat face.

At the same time as the young man's actions, the other assassin members rushed over to the Emperor's podium to help, while the rest looked at the hall's door nervously, looking at the door nervously, prepare to block the rescue of the guard in order to give his partner time.

The guests are in chaos. All the doors of the palace hall were held by members of a troupe of acrobats who turned out to be assassins. Any corner in chaos with screeches and shouts. One by one they crawl and cry.

Not all martial arts experts, most of the ministers were learned scholars who only held books, while the mistresses and misses were only talented in entertaining husbands or luring men.

Surprise could not be hidden in Xiu Qixuan's eyes. The girl turned her face to look at Xia Qian Che who was still sitting quietly.

"Miss duck!!" Xiao Leng's screeches sounded to resuscitate him.

'Brack..' Xiu Qixuan's reflexes were good enough to immediately jump dodging the attack of the wooden punch.

"Crazy, he's really not sane." Curse Xiu Qixuan by gritting her teeth full of emotion.

"Come, Miss!!" Xiao Leng withdrew the master's hand to bring him to the east side of the palace hall, they avoided the assassins as much as possible from falling into battle and resistance.

Xiao Leng had always been skilled in running errands, leading the way by tightly grasping the master's hand. On the other hand, Xiu Qixuan constantly turned her face back to look at Xia Qian Che who was still in the crowd by the assassin on the podium.

Xia Qian Che felt a pair of eyes staring at him from a distance, he glanced at the shadow of the girl who was walking in the darkness carefully to avoid attacking.

In the faint sense of the dim lantern light, their eyes met for a moment.

Suddenly, 'Kya...' Ning Xiaoyin's shout buzzed loudly.

The Queen Mother had already been secured first to hide with her maid of honor. Ning Xiaoyin was left on the podium with Xia Qian Che and a few guards left to clear the killer.

Ning Xiaoyin almost cried, she muffled her cries to say: "Your Majesty, help me!" His face was fleeting like a picture of peaches spreading in the rain. Makes people confused by beauty.

"The shameless, evil noble lady!" An assassin kicked with blind force and swung the sword to split Ning Xiaoyin's body in half.

'Prank..' The wine cup thrown with accurate sharpness cut off the killer's attack. The short sword fell from the grasp by the rigors of the impact. It was Xia Qian Che who gave her help.

With the breeze of the winter wind guiding the northern ruler to move, heavy air pressure circled around the surroundings. He immediately rushed forward into a fight that wanted his life.

The entire hall fell in a messy tension. The masters who possessed martial skills were entangled by assassins. Defend their lives and protect those closest to them. Some of the victims fell with injuries from stabbing sharp objects.

Xiu Qixuan watched the pitiful scene with a wry heart that was slowly sinking coldly.

Actually why? What was Xia Qian Che thinking? Why did he aim the sword to make an alibi? Is there no other way to comply with the moral law?

Xia Qian Che, what are you? A ruthless ruler who unhesitatingly took deadly steps.

How appalling. Very creepy. So scary.
