Chapter 490: The Man Behind the Scenes
Qin Shijie was a little surprised and asked, "Senior Emperor E, where are you going?"
Di Er chuckled and said: "After staying in that place for countless years, I have long been bored, and now I can be liberated, so I naturally walk around the world more to see the scenery that I have never seen. ”
I see.
Qin Shijie said: "Senior Emperor E, your strength is so strong, have you ever thought of joining the Sea Cliff Holy Land?"
With your strength, once you join the Holy Land, you will definitely be able to obtain a relatively high position.
Relying on the Sea Cliff Holy Land for cultivation, the future cultivation path will be much safer and smoother. ”
Di Er shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later, I haven't thought that far ahead." ”
Qin Shijie said: "In this way, I will open you a letter of introduction, if you want to join the Sea Cliff Holy Land in the future, as long as you hold my letter of introduction, you will definitely be able to join the Holy Land smoothly, and you will also be able to get a good status." ”
As he spoke, Qin Shijie handed over a letter.
Di E looked at the envelope handed over for a moment, then took it directly, and said, "Okay, I have your kindness." ”
After speaking, Di Er bowed his hand to Yue Yunfei and Han Yu, and turned around and left directly.
Qin Shijie turned to Yun Zhongyi again and said, "Everyone pack up, prepare to leave, and leave here." ”
After a while, everyone packed up and left directly, as for the corpses of those black-clothed assassins, they had already been included in the special mustard seed ring by Yun Zhongyi and others.
The only Aoba flying boat had been shattered to pieces by the cupola, and everyone had to leave on foot.
Everyone was a powerful warrior, and the speed was still quite fast, and they soon walked out of the Baishan Mountain Range and came to the nearest city, Yufeng City.
Yufeng City is a small city under Liyang County in the northernmost part of the Binyang Empire, and it also has a polar magnetic carriage leading to Liyang City.
Qin Shijie and his entourage didn't talk nonsense, and quickly took the extreme magnetic carriage and rushed to Liyang City, only when they arrived in Liyang County City would there be a subordinate branch of the Holy Land.
Four days later, everyone finally came to the county seat of Liyang and found the branch of the Holy Land here.
......
Qin Shijie, the chief holy son, the man of the hour in the Holy Land, was actually assassinated by someone during his mission abroad!
What's more, his powerful escort team suffered extremely heavy damage, with more than two-thirds of the casualties, and even one of the peak kings fell!
Such a shocking news, since it was transmitted back to the Sea Cliff Holy Land, immediately triggered a monstrous huge wave tsunami.
Countless people were shocked when they heard such news.
Oh my God, a chief holy son, surrounded by a powerful escort led by the Emperor Realm, had such serious casualties, and even the peak king had fallen.
There has never been such a serious incident!
It hasn't happened in countless years!
Even those disciples who are on a mission abroad, even the Holy Son, the Chief Holy Son, even if there are some assassinations every year, and every year there are demons hunting disciples in the Holy Land, but it has never been so serious.
In this assassination incident, there were three assassins from the Emperor Realm!
Emperor, what a lofty position, an eternal immortal powerhouse, there were three of them at once, hiding their heads and tails to carry out assassination activities.
Such a serious assassination incident occurred, and the entire Sea Cliff Holy Land attached great importance to it, and immediately sent a powerful investigation team to Queur to investigate.
Soon, however, more news spread from the Holy Land.
These news are: Qin Shijie is on a mission abroad this time, and during this time, he happened to be on a mission to exterminate the latent demons, and in the process of the mission, a demon emperor appeared!
Demon Emperor?!
Qin Shijie carried out the task of clearing the hidden demon clan, and a demon clan appeared
Emperor?!
Hearing this news suddenly, countless people in the holy land were a little shocked.
This news is a bit of a coincidence.
Qin Shijie had just finished the task of clearing the demons, and then after a few days, he was assassinated?
When everyone heard the news of Qin Shijie's assassination before, their first reaction was that the Zhenwu Army had done it, who could dispatch three emperor assassins and have such a big grudge against Qin Shijie, except for the Zhenwu Army.
However, this news was acknowledged by a certain Venerable in the Holy Land, which immediately caused an uproar in the entire Holy Land.
This can't be true, could it be that Qin Shijie's assassination incident is actually related to the Demon Emperor?!
However, the news came back that the Assassins had used strategic weapons such as the Cupola.
However, such a question was quickly explained by some people, the cupola cannon was captured by the demons in the Holy Land, and then it was successfully imitated and became a strategic weapon in the Holy Land to deal with the demons.
In other words, the Cupola Demon Clan also has it.
After this explanation, countless people in the Holy Land who did not go through the events agreed with this view.
This point of view is: The assassination of Qin Shijie this time is a revenge from the demon clan!
This is the deliberate revenge of the other party after the latent demon emperor was eliminated by a certain venerable in the holy land.
This view has been shared by the majority of the people, and more and more people in the Holy Land have embraced it.
Subsequently, under the impetus of the well-intentioned people, the entire holy land was filled with the sound of shouting and crusading against the demons.
Countless people, even the disciples who didn't know what the demon clan was before, after understanding the situation, they also issued a voice to crusade against the demon clan and destroy the demon clan.
Such a huge public opinion soon reached the ears of the Quezhou Regional Investigation Group, which was rushing to Quey.
Even under the deliberate promotion of some forces and some people, they directly instructed and determined that this assassination incident was done by the demons!
The purpose of the investigation team's trip to Quezhou this time was to dig deep into the hidden demons hidden in the territory of Quey, completely exterminate the demons, and give an explanation to the chief saint son Qin Shijie to restore the dignity of the holy land.
Such news naturally quickly reached Qin Shijie's ears, and they learned about the situation on the same day.
In this regard, Qin Shijie couldn't help but be angry, but he was helpless.
Now that the Holy Land Investigation Team has been determined, this assassination incident is a retaliatory action of the demons!
"Hmph, you want to cover up the truth. Qin Shijie suppressed the anger in his heart and muttered coldly.
Of course, he knew that this assassination incident had nothing to do with the revenge of the demons, and he didn't believe this statement at all.
From the situation at the time and the clues that Yue Yunfei and the others knew afterwards, it can be analyzed that eight times out of ten of the assassinations this time were definitely done by the forces of the True Martial Army!
Judging from the news coming out of the Holy Land this time, it is obvious that the True Martial Army did it extremely secretively, and it was also cleaned up afterwards, putting all the responsibility on the demon clan.
"Do you really think that if you put all the blame on the demons, I can't do anything?
Yes, I admit that I am weak right now, and I cannot change the characterization you make!
But there is a good saying: don't bully the poor of young people!
One day, when I become stronger, I will definitely count the humiliation I have suffered today!"
Qin Shijie hid all his anger in his heart and silently accepted such a characterization.
In this assassination incident, the Holy Land has reached an agreement and made a qualification, and Qin Shijie can no longer change it even if he is the chief holy son, so he has to silently accept such a result.
"However, although I was forced to accept such a result, I will eradicate your peripheral forces one by one, and it will be regarded as interest. ”
Judging from the previous assassinations, it was obvious that the three Emperor Assassins were directly sent by them
People, but those assassins who are not in the Emperor Realm are definitely not disciples of the Holy Land, otherwise the death of so many disciples would have exploded in the Holy Land, and others would have known about it for a long time.
From this, it can be seen that those black-clothed assassins who are not in the realm of emperors are either local warriors in Quezhou, or warriors who are transferred from other big states by the True Martial Army.
It is obviously unrealistic to drop people from the regions outside the three major states under the Sea Cliff Holy Land, and the most realistic possibility is that these warriors are from the Quezhou region!
So what forces do these people belong to?
Those who can be mobilized by the Zhenwu Army are definitely the peripheral forces of the Zhenwu Army, or the forces that have interests in the Zhenwu Army.
These people think they can escape by dying?
If you can run, the monk can't run the temple!
As long as the investigation team sent by the Holy Land arrives, they will be able to directly find out the forces behind them.
Killing all of these forces can be regarded as a bad breath.
In fact, the corpses of these men in black, according to the plan of those assassin high-level leaders, even if their subordinates were killed by Qin Shijie's escorts, they would be able to kill Qin Shijie with two emperors.
When Qin Shijie died, after the second emperor killed all the guards, it was too late to calmly collect all the corpses.
It's just that I didn't expect that there would be frequent accidents, neither did I succeed in killing Qin Shijie, and I didn't have time to take away the corpses that were killed by the escort team.
This is their flaw, and it is also they who threw the clue to Qin Shijie.
In this regard, the high-level of the Zhenwu Army also thought of this situation, but according to a certain high-level statement, since these corpses fell into Qin Shijie's hands, let him take a bad breath.
At the same time, it is also an explanation to send those inconsequential peripheral forces to the Holy Land Investigation Team, so that the Holy Land can eliminate those peripheral forces as lackeys of the demon clan, restore the dignity of the Holy Land, and completely cover up the truth of this assassination.
Obviously, these peripheral forces have been abandoned by the Zhenwu Army as victims to quell the incident.
Seven days later, the investigation team sent by the Holy Land finally arrived in Liyang County and met Qin Shijie and his party.
In the past few days, Qin Shijie and his entourage have been staying in Liyang County to recuperate from their injuries, and after so many days of recuperation, they have finally all recovered.
On the first day of the investigation team's arrival, one of the leaders of the investigation team's Emperor Realm also secretly met with Qin Shijie and Yue Yunfei, and informed the two of them of the Holy Land's official characterization of the assassination and its handling opinions.
Although Qin Shijie had already learned the news one step in advance, but now that he heard it with his own ears, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.
"Commander Wang, is this the end of my assassination! Is the death of those guards just settled? Is the death of King Chen Xuanli just settled!"
The angry questions expressed the anger and dissatisfaction in Qin Shijie's heart.
Head Wang obviously also expected Qin Shijie's reaction, and he had already expected it before he came back.
At this time, facing Qin Shijie's anger, he tried his best to calm down and said, "Your Highness, this is a decision made by the high-level of the Holy Land, and no one can change it.
However, in order to appease His Highness's anger, the Holy Land has also made some compensation decisions.
First of all, His Highness's loss, as well as the discovery of the hidden Demon Emperor's merit this time, the Holy Land specially increased the reward and rewarded His Highness with a new flying boat, the Xuanhua Flying Boat. ”
Hearing this, Qin Shijie's brows furrowed slightly.
The Xuanhua Flying Boat is a flying treasure that is one level higher than the Aoba Flying Boat, which can travel 100,000 miles a day, and the exchange price in the Holy Land Spirit Treasure Pavilion is as high as 500,000 contribution points.
Now such a heavy treasure should also be regarded as the product of a compromise between the high-level leaders of the Holy Land, which is not only a compensation for Qin Shijie, but also a reward for him.
