Chapter 488: Assassination
Su Jingxuan's light skills are excellent, and Chu Yunsheng is also not weak.
He only held Chu Yunsheng's hand, he didn't need to take it hard, Chu Yunsheng was already able to keep up with his pace, and the two of them swept towards the hall where the fire was most raging at this time, and when they passed by a guard who was rushing in with a bucket, Su Jingshuo quickly tore off a piece of his clothes, and quickly soaked it in the guard's bucket.
The whole movement was like a smooth flow, all in one go, the movement was so fast that the guard only noticed the two figures around him flickering, but when he looked closely, there was nothing unusual, and there were still those guards and eunuchs who rushed over with buckets to put out the fire.
At this time, Su Jingxuan had already divided the soaked cloth into two, he handed one of them to Chu Yunsheng, and the other one he used to cover his mouth and nose, and when Chu Yunsheng also covered his mouth and nose like him, Su Jingxuan rushed into the sea of fire with her.
Both of them moved quickly, and after passing the raging fire and billowing smoke at the entrance of the hall, the more they went into the main hall, the smoke inside gradually faded, and the fire had not yet spread inside.
However, the hall was in disarray, and when Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingxuan rushed to the innermost layer together, they had not yet seen King Wei, but they had already heard the sound of swords intersecting.
As soon as she heard that voice, Chu Yunsheng already felt that something was wrong, she quickly broke free of Su Jingxuan's hand, hurriedly crossed the screen and walked inside, and Su Jingxuan also hurriedly followed.
Before I could go around the screen, I saw more than a dozen masked men besieging several Praetorian Guard soldiers, and the person in the middle of them was none other than King Wei.
Many Praetorian Guard corpses had fallen on the ground, and the remaining ones were more or less covered with colors, and seeing their panting appearance, it was obvious that they were already a little exhausted.
However, the face of the Wei King, who was guarded by them, did not look very good, and he stood in the middle of it in a daze, his face was pale, and there was no light in his eyes, as if he was not in a life-or-death situation at this time.
The fight between the Praetorian Guards and the black-clad masked men had never been in his eyes.
And after Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingshuo rashly broke into the inner hall, these people all subconsciously distracted a little, and when they saw clearly that it was two completely strange people who rushed in and were not wearing the outfits of the palace guards, everyone was stunned, and immediately, the dozen or so black-clothed people reacted the fastest, directly skipped Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingxuan, and continued to raise their swords to attack and kill these royal forest guards.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng no longer hesitated, she lifted the sword on the ground with a lift of her toes and the sword inserted in the body of a fallen Imperial Forest Army guard, and then raised her sword to attack these black-clothed people directly.
Seeing her move, these Royal Forest Army soldiers and the black-clothed were stunned again, and without waiting for them to react, Chu Yunsheng had already arrived in front of them, these black-clothed people were skilled, but Chu Yunsheng's kung fu was above them, and by the time these people reacted, Chu Yunsheng had quickly harvested the two heads with the sword, and at the same time, she had sharp eyes and found that one of the dozen or so black-clothed people had an extremely sharp eye, and her expression should be the leader among these people, so without waiting for the killing moves attacked by others, Chu Yunsheng had already swept in front of the leader with a ghostly figure。
This person's movements are also extremely fast, as soon as Chu Yunsheng's body arrived, he was already stepping back on his toes, as if he was not willing to confront Chu Yunsheng head-on, but Chu Yunsheng's movements were one step faster, her sword was about to hit this person's chest, and the sword in this person's hand also swept at the same time, sweeping towards Chu Yunsheng, Chu Yunsheng had to retreat in order to avoid his killing move, and he also had to withdraw his own killing move, but while retreating to the side, Chu Yunsheng jumped swiftly in mid-air, and at the same time, the sword turned and slashed towards the man's face。
The man's movements were also neat, and at the same time as Chu Yunsheng's sword came over, he had already stood on tiptoe and retreated to the side, but Chu Yunsheng's sword tip still picked up the black scarf on his face.
When Chu Yunsheng's body returned to the place where he had just stood with Su Jingshuo after a neat flip in mid-air, the black scarf on the man's face also fell to the ground, revealing his true face.
And this person, Chu Yunsheng has also seen it.
Not long ago, General Wang Cheng's mansion.
At that time, the arrogant expression stood in a pile of officials, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, by the general, towards Lord Xiao of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
At that time, when Chu Yunsheng heard the tone of his voice, she was very disliked for this person, so she looked at him twice more on the roof, and remembered his appearance.
Unexpectedly, the person who kept saying that he was loyal to His Majesty at that time personally brought a killer to assassinate King Wei at this time.
After being picked up with a face towel, Lord Xiao's face was at a loss, and then he quickly turned his eyes to look at King Wei, and seeing that King Wei's expression was still sluggish, he relieved himself, and then looked at Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingxuan, who had not yet made a move, and said, "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows, looked at him contemptuously and said, "We, naturally, are the people who defend the king." ”
Chu Yunsheng's answer was obviously also within Master Xiao's expectations, after all, the only one who risked his life to save King Wei at this time was his henchman, but the current King Wei ......
Thinking of this, Lord Xiao's eyebrows raised, revealing a cruel smile and said, "Then don't blame me for not reminding you that I didn't find the right good master." ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Chu Yunsheng to speak, as soon as he raised his fingers, he commanded the black-clothed men under his command to attack Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingshuo in unison.
Chu Yunsheng was about to make a move, but this time Su Jingshuo took the lead, he took the sword that Chu Yunsheng was holding in his hand that was still dripping blood, and directly slaughtered these black-clothed people.
These people's skills are not weak, however, in front of Su Jingshuo, it is not just a lower level, some of them react quickly, only to see Su Jingshuo raise the sword and swim in front of him, some of them react slowly, they only feel a cool breeze blowing from their ears, but no matter how fast or slow the reaction is, their bodies stiffen almost at the same time, and the next moment, everyone's movements stopped, and a large blood stain suddenly appeared on their necks, and then they fell straight down, the scarlet blood flowed down from their necks, and instantly lined the already bloodstained ground more and more shocking。
Because of the slower movements, the four black-clothed men who followed behind were startled when they saw the situation in front of them, and they immediately didn't dare to take a step forward.
Seeing Su Jingxuan's move like this, the leading Lord Xiao was also shocked, his eyes were cold, and then he said in a deep voice: "You can't get out of here alive." ”
Before the words fell, before Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingxuan could speak, he had already waved his hand to the only four people left, and then the five of them quickly left the inner hall.
Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingxuan didn't plan to chase after him, Chu Yunsheng's mind was on King Wei who was in a trance at this time, and as soon as Lord Xiao retreated, Chu Yunsheng hurriedly stepped forward to check King Wei's pulse.
However, before Chu Yunsheng's steps approached, he was stopped by those guards of the Royal Forest Army, and seeing this, Chu Yunsheng said: "You also saw it just now, if I want to do something to your Wei King, it will be easy." ”
Hearing this, the guards of the Royal Forest Army let go of the hand holding the sword to stop Chu Yunsheng, and let Chu Yunsheng get closer to the Wei King.
Chu Yunsheng walked to King Wei's side, but he still didn't react, just stood there stunned.
"Your Majesty?"
Chu Yunsheng called twice, but he didn't see any reaction, she hurriedly raised her hand and grabbed King Wei's wrist to take his pulse.
At this time, a guard of the Imperial Forest Army on the side said: "Tonight, when we escorted King Wei back from the banquet, we were all right, it was this fire that started for no reason, after King Wei heard that the side hall was on fire, after a burst of anger, it was suddenly like this, there was no reaction, and then you also saw what happened later, we were besieged here by this group of black-clothed assassins, and there was no chance to escape at all." ”
As he spoke, the guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, then looked up at the fire that had gradually spread to the inner hall, and then said to Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingxuan: "Your Majesty should be caused by the rush of fire, and now we should flee from here first." ”
Chu Yunsheng was silent and did not speak, at this time her mind was on Wei Wang's body, she found that his pulse was extremely disordered, especially his heart pulse, if it continued like this, I am afraid that there would be a worry about his life.
She listened to the words of the Imperial Forest Army guard, and knew that she couldn't delay any longer at this time, but King Wei's body couldn't be delayed either, so Chu Yunsheng didn't have time to make a choice at all, she directly pushed King Wei who was still in a stunned state down, and then raised her hand and ripped open the placket on his chest.
Seeing her such a sudden movement, the several guards of the Royal Forest Army who had just relaxed their vigilance against her were all stunned, and they were about to put their hands on the hilt of the sword that had just been released, but in the next moment, they saw Chu Yunsheng's torn open shirt of the King of Wei, and there was a large bruise on the bare chest.
They were present in the fight just now, although the assassins were menacing, but King Wei was not hurt at all under their protection, and usually, such a pampered emperor, where did the bruises come from.
As if seeing their doubts, Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and took out the silver needle bag held at his waist, and then neatly began to insert the silver needle into several of Wei Wang's big holes, and said to the person next to him: "He is poisoned, if he is not controlled now, his life is worried." ”
The words of fear for their lives were enough to shock the few guards of the Royal Forest Army present in place, but after that, Chu Yunsheng's words surprised them even more, only to see Chu Yunsheng's fingertips pinching silver needles and constantly wandering around King Wei's body, and said: "Listening to Lord Xiao's words just now, how can we walk out of this palace so safely, even if we cross this sea of fire, there is a more dangerous sword mountain waiting for us outside." ”
Hearing this, several people were stunned, and the guard of the Royal Forest Army who had just spoken was puzzled: "How come, this is the palace of the king of Wei......"
Before he finished his words, Chu Yunsheng, who was busy, raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then said, "This is also the Weiwang Palace, how do you think those black-clothed assassins came in?
Obviously, all this was premeditated, starting with the beginning of poisoning King Wei.
Hearing Chu Yunsheng's rhetorical question, the Imperial Forest Army guard stopped talking, and his heart had already fallen to a low point.
"How's it going?"
Su Jingxuan, who had not spoken, squatted down and whispered beside Chu Yunsheng, "Can this poison be controlled?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng shook his head and sighed: " This poison is also the first time I have seen it, it should not be given to him today, but in his body has a long period of incubation, just waiting for a trigger to let this poison begin to spread rapidly to the lungs, now I think about it, the assassin at today's banquet, may be a cause set by the poisoner, when the king of Wei was angry, looking at his complexion, I felt a little abnormal, so I wanted to check it, but I never thought that the opponent moved faster, directly put a fire in this palace, this fire together, just now was still in the anger of the king of Wei angry, and shocked, so that the ups and downs of emotions can instantly let the poison lurking in this body invade the heart……”
After saying these words, Chu Yunsheng had already sealed the last acupoint of King Wei, and then she raised her eyes to look at Su Jingxuan, and said worriedly, "What should I do now?"
This fire is inexplicable, coupled with Lord Xiao's words just now, it is not so easy for them to get out alive outside.
However, staying here is not a solution, because the fire is raging, and in the blink of an eye, it has already reached the inner hall, and there is already billowing smoke rolling towards Chu Yunsheng and them.
Su Jingxuan sighed lightly, and then said, "Change King Wei's clothes first, and then wait for us to go in several directions separately." ”
This is at least the only way to distract the people outside, and it is the only way to do it at the moment.
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng nodded without thinking, then raised his hand and quickly took off the yellow robe of the Wei Wang, and the guards of the Royal Forest Army on the side also cooperated very well to remove the clothes of the dead soldiers, and then turned around and handed it to Chu Yunsheng, and then helped Chu Yunsheng change it into the stunned Wei Wang.
When Chu Yunsheng took off King Wei's clothes, Su Jingxuan's hand reached over.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng hurriedly raised his hand to hold his wrist, and said worriedly, "What are you going to do?"
Although it was a question sentence, at this time she had already guessed what Su Jingxuan was thinking, he wanted to wear King Wei's yellow robe, and then go out to attract the attention of those people, at this time, the fire outside was raging, and there was chaos, and no one would notice for a while whether it was King Wei or someone else who rushed out of the fire.
In this way, it also bought time for the real King Wei and Chu Yunsheng.
