Chapter 512: Uninvited Guest
Chu Xianzhao's bones rattled, like a young eagle trying to break free from the chains, and roared at the woman: "It's about him!"
At this moment, Wang Xi, who had been silent in his body and seemed to have disappeared completely, seemed to be stimulated by the three words of Chu Xiaohua at this time, and he could no longer stay asleep, and broke out with extremely strong resentment!
A jet-black qi spurted out along his heart, and suddenly poured into his limbs along the holes in his body, and the chains shattered inch by inch under the destruction of Wang Xi, catching the woman in black off guard.
In that moment, Chu Xianzhao felt that his past self had returned, and he once again had the power to reign over the world.
With a loud "boom", countless pitch-black king's breath qi machines emerged in front of the two, tearing apart the crow's beak mask on the woman's face, revealing a familiar woman's face.
When the woman's green silk jumped, her lips were as red as blood.
Like a wild dragon breaking free from the chains, Chu Xuanzhao slaughtered at an extremely fast speed, and slammed his five fingers into claws into the woman's face.
The woman's body flashed in front of him, but what he hit was the chest of the burly man behind the woman, the man spat out a mouthful of blood, and the crow's mouth mask on his face fell to the ground immediately, and Chu Xianzhao's five fingers were obviously nailed to his chest, like wriggling tarsal maggots.
Chu Xianzhao roared, and his five fingers suddenly closed and broke his ribs, but no one expected that the man's vitality was so strong, and after being so severely injured by Chu Xianzhao, he grabbed Chu Xianzhao's arm with both hands, and put on the posture of a mayfly shaking the tree, letting the blood flow on his chest, Rao is not a step back.
Chu Xuanzhao finally couldn't help but erupt, the fist stuck in his chest went straight away, and the whole arm penetrated the big man's chest fiercely, and he directly pierced the chest with his fist.
Then he Chu instantly summoned it, and a bloody hole with light appeared on his chest, and the blood sprayed onto his body in a sparse manner, because his own punch even shattered his heart, and the blood in the man's body spurted out, turning Chu instantaneously into a bloody man.
Until this moment, Chu Xianzhao had a huge sense of detachment, and he saw that the bloody man fell backwards like a man, like a giant tree that had fallen heavily to the ground, and a burst of snow and dust splashed around him.
Chu Xianzhao looked at the scene in front of him blankly, the woman happened to stand on top of the man's head, squatted down gently, stroked his blood-covered face, and muttered in a low voice: "You exchanged your death for my life, I will give you back this life in the next life, rest in peace......"
Until the man closed his eyes, the whole world seemed to be quiet.
Chu Xianzhao gasped in horror, clutched his chest and stepped back step by step, looking at the woman whose face was as pale as snow, picking up the man's crow's beak mask and putting it on his face.
The snowflakes fell on the man's body and did not dissipate for a long time.
Chu Xianzhao stared at the woman who had put on the mask again, but he didn't expect that the man to block his attack for her, and finally died without hesitation.
In this era when human life is as cheap as grass and the spring breeze blows and is born, not everyone's hard work will be remembered by the world.
The two corpses were lying in the snow in the garden, the woman tilted her head and glanced at Chu Xianzhao, the distance between the two was only ten steps, Chu Zhaozhao could easily escape, or pick up the dagger on the ground and kill it, but he didn't do anything.
"We'll meet again. The woman's voice came from under the mask, and the crows that had been hovering in the sky suddenly rushed towards Chu Xuanzhao, and as soon as he looked up, he saw countless pairs of bloodthirsty eyes, which were also looking at himself, or the two corpses on the ground.
The next moment, he was engulfed by this surging black cloud, in the midst of countless sharp crows, Chu Xianzhao tried his best to raise his head, but there was darkness in his vision, he felt that someone was calling his name, but when he tried to listen, there was no sound.
Since he left Yinguo, many times it has been like now, when he feels desperate and sad, he always feels that someone is watching him behind him and calling his name.
Soon the crows surrounding him disappeared, and even the crows and guards were gone, and the people of the palace anxiously rushed into the garden and saw two corpses with white bones and a bloody Chu Xuanzhao.
The crown of his hair was torn by the crow, and the appearance of his white hair hanging down his face at this time looked particularly terrifying, he turned to the grandfather who was hiding in the bamboo forest and said, "Shibo, you can come out, now you are safe." ”
Grandpa Guo's arms and thighs were pecked by crows a few times, and now the pain made him pale, and he poked his head out of the bamboo forest in a trembling way, and the wound on his body couldn't help but hurt again, until he saw two corpses that had turned into white bones, and his voice trembled: "This...... This...... You killed this assassin?"
"Sort of. After half a ring, Chu Xianzhao admitted.
Chu Xianzhao only found out at this time that although the crows surrounded him, they did not hurt him for half a minute, fortunately, the rooting mask on his face was still intact, but the strength of this anesthetic came up, his limbs were extremely sore, and he sat in the snow a little dejectedly.
He suddenly saw the crow's beak mask torn by his own king's breath, and tremblingly reached out to grab it and slowly held it in the palm of his hand.
The attack on the Assassins on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year has become the most terrifying news of the New Year.
There are more than 100,000 forbidden troops in Luoyang City alone, especially the royal relatives like Grandpa Guo, there are brocade guards patrolling in front of the mansion at any time, but this assassin of unknown origin is unexpectedly
touched into the Guogong Mansion and wanted to assassinate the Guogong during the Chinese New Year, which obviously stepped on the bottom line of the Daqing royal family.
I have to say that the methods of destroying the corpses of the crow Qi Wei are really first-class, the two crow Qi Wei who were killed by Chu Xuan even the corpses were eaten by the crows, and the brocade guards could not find any identity related to the assassin from the white bones, some people pointed out that these assassins who assassinated the grandfather of the country were the same group of black-clothed killers who entered the territory of Qingguo and swept the post station and dock.
Soon Jin Yiwei acted again, and the crow's beak mask found from the scene was compared with the black-clothed killers seen by the witnesses before, proving that they were the same people, but at present, I still don't know where these black-clothed killers came from and what their purpose is, and how many there are, and now there is another suspense case in Sunset City, which makes everyone panic after the New Year.
Soon someone said that this group of mysterious assassins came from the Yin Kingdom, and all of them were spy killers sent by the Iron Emperor Chu Xiaohua, specially used to behead the ministers of the Daqing Imperial Court, this time it was the Guogong Mansion that was invaded by this group of assassins, and I don't know whose turn it will be next time.
The people in Luoyang City were all talking about it, thinking that the Iron Emperor Chu Xiaohua would actually send a killer to assassinate a prince who had no grudges with the Yin Kingdom, which was really difficult to explain, and it was not like Chu Xiaohua's style.
No matter what kind of speculation has a huge impact on the Daqing Imperial Court, it will even affect the Zhao royal family to convene the princes to discuss the Northern Expedition, and Chu Xianzhao, who saved the grandfather of the country, was also pushed to the forefront of this public opinion, and his reputation spread throughout the entire imperial city for a while.
The people in Luoyang City didn't expect that this illegitimate son who had just come to the Shen family actually had such a strong strength, not only did he not run away in the face of the siege of the assassins, but also saved the grandfather of the country, the strength should not be underestimated, and the Zhao royal family owed him a big favor.
"According to the clues drawn by Jinyiwei's Criminal Investigation Court, the assassin who assassinated the grandfather of the country this time is indeed from the Yin country, and there may be spies who will be planted in the city of the falling sun, I suspect that they are all coming for you, just to solve a prince by the way. ”
Lu Qi looked at Chu Xianzhao, whose arm was wrapped in bandages, and said in a calm tone: "Fortunately, your identity was not revealed this time, otherwise our plan would have been ruined, but those assassins already know your whereabouts, you can't hide here all the time, thinking that they will forget it." ”
"They're the ones who are the ones who defend the crows. Chu Xianzhao's heart sank slightly, and he said softly: "Crow Qiwei, like your Jinyiwei, is also the emperor's special intelligence agency, but unfortunately I don't know much about this organization, I didn't expect them to be able to find a needle in a haystack and come to Luoyang City, it seems that Chu Xiaohua really refuses to let me go." ”
"They are still in Sunset City, we don't know how many people there are, the people of the Jinyi Guard are already looking for them from house to house, and they will always be soon-"
Chu Xianzhao said in a cold voice: "They can't find it, the people of the Crow Qiwei are the best at concealing their own actions, so forget it." ”
Lu Wei frowned and said, "Do you think this matter is over?"
"What do you want me to do? swagger out of the Shen family's manor, wait for them to capture me alive?"
"I mean, since they are all from Yinguo, and you were once the son of Yinguo, can you negotiate or negotiate with them. ”
"Negotiations?"
Lu Qi said: "You should also know that if the Yin Kingdom wants to defeat the Little Emperor, you and I also want to defeat them, we only have a part of our strength in the Southern Continent, that is, the sect members of the Shadow Moon Sect, although this force is far less powerful than the dragoons of the Zhao Clan, but there are also many strange people and powerful people in it...... But just you, me, the Great Sect Master, even if Lord Shen and the Holy Maiden will go to Heiyi City to buy troops and fleets, it will still be a drop in the bucket to deal with the Daqing Imperial Clan with our strength. ”
Chu Xianzhao frowned and said, "You want me to subdue them, but they are people sent by Chu Xiaohua and are my enemies." ”
He paused and said, "It's also your old friend, this is my advice to you, if you really have this idea, I will send someone to protect you and negotiate with them, I hope you can think about it." ”
"I'll take your word into account. ”
Lu Wei patted him on the shoulder, and at this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a maid's voice came from outside and said, "Young master, the little grandfather has come to see you, saying that he is visiting your injury." ”
The last person Chu Xianzhao wanted to see now was someone from the Zhao royal family, but the door was pushed open, and Zhao Yunlong walked in without seeing it, and just happened to see Lu Qi sitting on the side, he didn't expect that there were other people in this room.
Lu Qi immediately stood up and saluted to the little grandfather Zhao Yunlong: "Lu Qi, the household servant, meet the little grandfather." ”
"Tobe Squire Lu Qi, I seem to have seen you somewhere......"
Zhao Yunlong only felt that he was very familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen him after racking his brains.
Lu Qi smiled indifferently: "My father is the previous secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Yanran, when the little grandfather was a child, the ministers saw you at the palace banquet, but you don't remember the ministers." ”
Zhao Yunlong smiled and said: "When you mentioned it like that, I was a little impressed. As for your father's matter, I'm sorry, Lord Shangshu is a recognized good person, and even my father said that about him in front of me. ”
Lu Kui said lightly: "Yes, good people always live for a short time, if the little grandfather has nothing to do, the lower official will leave." ”
The two casually exchanged a few words, and Lu Wei left.
After the door was closed, Zhao Yunlong sat down on the side of Chu Xianzhao's bed, put his arm around his shoulder, and roared: "The matter has been found out, those damn assassins were sent by the Yin Kingdom, and they actually dared to use the knife on my father's head, one day I will ride a flying dragon to burn their cavalry, bullshit Da Yin Iron Cavalry Armor in the world." ”
Although Chu Xianzhao hated Chu Xiaohua, he was still a native of the Yin Kingdom in his bones, and when he heard the little grandfather insulting the cavalry of the Yin Kingdom so unknowingly, there was a great displeasure on his face, and he frowned: "The army of the Yin Kingdom has defeated the dragoons at the Concubine Pass, the little grandfather should have heard of the power of the Iron Shura Legion, the Daqing Dragon Horse is no longer the needle of your dynasty, you should be afraid of the Iron Horse of the Yin Kingdom." ”
Zhao Yunlong listened to Chu Xianzhao's words, his face did not show any displeasure, but said with a wry smile: "I'll see if your injuries are healed, you saved my father's life from the hands of the assassin, our family is very grateful to you, my father asked me to tell you, if you Tang Huang is bullied by someone in Luoyang City in the future, as long as you let someone bring a message to the Guogong Mansion, the Guogong Mansion will definitely support you, and we will have a long time to do this." ”
Chu Xianzhao suddenly felt like a fish in his throat, and couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, we really shouldn't have too much contact with each other, and I don't know if I owe you in my previous life, since I came to Luoyang City, I will see you before and after every accident, you are the little grandfather of Daqing, I am just an illegitimate son of the Shen family, we have different statuses, it is really not suitable to meet too much." ”
After Zhao Yunlong listened, he laughed heartily and said: "I never care about the status of making friends, what about illegitimate children, my father has told me since I was a child that heroes slaughter dogs, even our ancestor Dragon King Zhao Gongming was a dragon chef at the beginning, and even the emperor was an unknown junior before he became famous, so you don't need to mind your identity too much, you have to turn resistance into motivation, and use strength to arm yourself to become strong, so that no one dares to say that your identity, because they will only remember your strength." ”
Chu Xianzhao looked at him with a smile after hearing this, and he suddenly blamed himself a little: "In the final analysis, I have to blame for this matter, I suspect that these assassins followed you and me into the Guogong Mansion, I didn't find it on the road, and then our family guards were negligent in their duties, and let the assassins sneak into the Guogong Mansion without knowing it, my father originally wanted to come to visit you here in person, but his legs and feet were injured, and now it is inconvenient to come to the mansion to recuperate." ”
"Little Grandpa Xie cares, it's rare that you still remember me, by the way, I have a few things I want to ask you. ”
"I know everything. ”
"Your mother is the aunt of Emperor Qinghuang now, right, then Qing'an Dragon Immortal Zhao Xi is your ......"
Before Chu Xianzhao finished speaking, the little grandfather's eyebrows danced, "Oh! You also like Qing'an Longxian, she is my cousin, the person I admired the most since I was a child is her, my swordsmanship was also learned from her, my cousin also told me that the only person in the world who can break her dragon sword is the domineering sword of the Xilin Sword God, the two of them used to be partners, and then they couldn't be together because of some things, I heard that the two of them also have a daughter, and she is also an illegitimate child like you...... Do you want to see her?"
Chu Xianzhao smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when I have a chance, when it comes to her daughter, I think of her." ”
"Who is she?"
"Nothing. ”
Chu Xianzhao smiled and hid the thoughts in his heart, I don't know where Guan Ju has gone now, when she and herself were separated in Shuyue, she said that she wanted to go to Daqing to find her mother, and she also wanted to become the most powerful swordsman in the world, like her parents.
It seems that parents are too strong and excellent, and they are always a mountain on their children's hearts, and many times it is not a good thing.
Not long after Zhao Yunlong left, Chu Xianzhao was about to go to bed to rest, but he didn't expect another strange visitor to come now.
This time, the visitor wore a blue-green brocade suit, with an embroidered spring knife at his waist, looking at his dress, he should be a person from Jinyiwei, who came to investigate the assassination case of the Guogong Mansion, this assassination case involves the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the matter can be big or small, after excluding the local residents in Luoyang City, the only thing left to focus on checking is a foreign population like Chu Xianzhao, and everyone is worthy of suspicion.
Chu Xianzhao observed this official from Jinyiwei, the institution of Jinyiwei is divided into two guards, light and dark, and the people in the secret guard are all eunuchs in the palace, who rarely go out of the palace on weekdays, and most of the time for the emperor and queen mother to review the affairs of the palace.
The bearded person in front of him was obviously the person from Mingweisuo, his lips were thinner than a knife, his eyebrows were like a sword, and his eyebrows and eyes made Chu Xianzhao subconsciously think of his father Chu Xiaohua, but the corners of his eyes were a little more feminine.
Chu Xianzhao said lightly: "I have seen many guests today, and I am already very tired, can I talk about anything tomorrow." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party's face seemed to be a little ugly, but the heat in his pupils was still there, not like the look that Jin Yiwei should have when he asked.
Such a gaze made Chu Xianzhao full of puzzlement, and asked, "The little grandfather has already seen me just now, and said that he is sure that the assassin is from the Yin Kingdom, what do you want to ask me?"
The official stared at Chu Xianzhao's eyes tightly, such a gaze made Chu Xianzhao's heart move, he had indeed saved the grandfather of the country, but it was useless to ask him about some things.
He was just the illegitimate son of the Shen family in name, and he definitely had nothing to do with those assassins...... Even if he knew that they were Crow Qi Wei from the Yin Kingdom, he could only pretend not to know, and it was impossible to tell everything about this kind of thing, but his next sentence was like a winter thunder that slashed into Chu Xianzhao's ears.
"You...... Isn't it from Yinguo?"
