Chapter 30 9: Assassination in the Lake
Pei Zonghao ran out of Mu Xueye's room and quickly caught up with Wuhou Chen Jin.
"Taifu, have you found anything?"
"Not yet, just wait. "Chen Jin transferred an army of 10,000 people, starting from the periphery of Shenxiao Palace to the place where Chen Chu was assassinated, conducting a careful search, and strictly ordering the soldiers not to let go of any clues.
After the army carefully examined every place, they found no clues, and the assassin left no clues.
"Taifu, I have some clues here, but there may be some untrustworthy elements, do you want to hear it?" Pei Zonghao wanted to tell Chen Jin about the restoration of Great Qin in Zhang Yuanliang's mouth.
"Oh? ”
"Taifu, on the way to Beijing, the student captured a disciple of the Blood Evil Sect by chance, and got a secret from this person, which was about the restoration of Great Qin. Pei Zonghao said truthfully.
"What are you talking about?, Great Qin Restoration?" Chen Jin heard this, and a storm broke out in his heart.
"Yes, Taifu. ”
"The man said that the Blood Evil Sect and other crooked sects are scheduled to meet in Yujing in two years to conspire with each other. ”
"Hearing you say that, then the matter is somewhat clearer. Chen Jin nodded slightly, as if he had figured out a lot of things.
"The person who assassinated the Great General must be the remnants of Great Qin, this can be determined. Now, except for the remnants of Great Qin, who else will have a magic weapon. ”
"It seems that I have to discuss this matter with His Majesty before making a decision. After Chen Jin finished speaking, he ordered the army to retreat, and he entered the palace to meet Mu Feng Tianyang.
Pei Zonghao wanted to go together, but was stopped by Mu Feng Mingyue on the way and asked to go to the lake together.
"Brother Hao'er, the weather is sunny today. Look, the microwaves in the lake, the refracted sunlight is so beautiful!" Mu Feng Mingyue cheered and sighed at the beauty of the lake.
Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue took the same boat, looking up, the lake and the sunset were connected into a line, the water contained light, and the light was shining on the water, which was beautiful.
"Brother Hao'er, if I had met you earlier, I would really like to wander the world with you. Mu Feng Mingyue looked at Pei Zonghao and said.
Hearing Mu Feng Mingyue's words, Pei Zonghao sensed that something was wrong in his heart for a while, and this remark had a slight meaning. But Pei Zonghao thought that it might be that Mu Feng Mingyue was also tired of the emperor's house and couldn't help himself, so he said this, and he didn't think much about it for a while.
"Yue'er, when we get married in the future, I will take you to the mountains and rivers for a while. ”
"Hehe, Brother Hao'er, you're so good. Mu Feng Mingyue said with joy on her face.
At this moment, a bowl-sized blister poured up from the water, "Goodong", the blister dispersed, and then a man in black flew out of the water and slashed at Pei Zonghao with a knife.
Suddenly, the white phoenix sword appeared in Pei Zonghao's hand, the cold mang came out of the sheath, and a sword met the long knife in the hand of the man in black.
"Bell!" swords collided, and sparks flew for a moment.
"Who dares to sneak attack me!" Pei Zonghao shouted.
The man in black didn't answer at all, and the whole person immediately retreated and stood on the surface of the lake.
The man in black put the knife away, but there were a few more villains in his hands, the villains were exquisitely made, and the carvings were lifelike. After the magic trick in the black-clothed man's hand was completed, he stretched out his hand on the villain a little, and the four villains instantly soared, turning into four puppets more than two meters high.
The four puppets had different weapons in their hands, one with a knife, one with a gun, one with a pair of purple gold hammers in his hand, and one with a Fang Tian painting halberd that was taller than himself. Looking at this momentum, the strength of these four war puppets is not lower than the Great Grandmaster realm of human martial artists.
Facing these four puppets, Pei Zonghao knew that something was wrong for a while. The puppet in front of him is one, and he is not an opponent, let alone four. Without thinking about it, Pei Zonghao pulled up Mu Feng Mingyue and fled.
Pei Zonghao frantically injected the spiritual power in his body into the White Phoenix Sword, driving the White Phoenix Sword to fly rapidly, while the four puppets behind him chased after him, and on the chests of the four puppets, several points of light flickered non-stop, obviously, this is a magic circle that provides puppet flight. I didn't expect these four puppets to be able to fly, which made Pei Zonghao's heart rise to his throat at once.
Pei Zonghao had never fought with a puppet before, but he had heard of it, but he didn't expect that as soon as he handed it over today, he would only have to flee from the wind.
"It's strange, I've been flying for so long, why haven't I flown out of this lake?
The four puppets behind him chased after him, Pei Zonghao didn't dare to pause at all, and pinned his hopes on the guards on the shore of the lake, but after so much time, why didn't the guards notice the movement on the lake.
Pei Zonghao drove the flying sword to escape, and his mind kept thinking about countermeasures.
At this moment, the four puppets behind him were not chasing, but stopped in the sky, which made Pei Zonghao puzzled for a while, and turned his head to glance behind him.
It's okay not to look at it, but I almost lost my soul when I saw it. I saw that the puppet with the spear in his hand and the halberd in his hand was putting the tip of the spear and the halberd together at this time, and the puppet with the purple gold hammer in his hand was stepping on the tip of the spear and the halberd with his left and right feet at this time. The puppet with the spear in his hand and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand made a simultaneous effort, and threw the puppet with the purple gold hammer directly at Pei Zonghao. The puppet holding the purple gold hammer turned into a cannonball at this time, and it came in an instant.
It's too late, it's too soon. Before he could blink an eye, the puppet with the purple gold hammer in his hand came to Pei Zonghao and smashed it at Pei Zonghao with a hammer.
Pei Zonghao didn't have time to dodge at all, and with a flash of light in his hand, the Immortal Sword appeared in his hand. Pei Zonghao put the Immortal Slashing Sword across his head to block this ferocious hammer.
"Bell!", Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue in his arms were smashed from the sky.
"Ordinary!" Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue smashed into the lake, stirring up huge waves. Pei Zonghao's right hand cracked at this time, and his entire arm began to go numb, especially the hand holding the sword, which had lost consciousness.
Pei Zonghao's left arm has been tightly hugged around Mu Feng Mingyue's waist, even if he fell into the water at this time, Pei Zonghao did not leave Mu Feng Mingyue in his arms.
At this time, Mu Feng Mingyue hugged Pei Zonghao tightly with both hands, put her head on Pei Zonghao's chest, and said nothing.
After falling into the lake, the spiritual power in Pei Zonghao's body violently emanated from the soles of his feet, and the whole person flew out of the lake at once, standing on the surface of the lake with his feet.
As soon as Pei Zonghao's figure stood firm, the four puppets in the sky came over again.
At this time, the situation can be described as extremely urgent, and the four puppets came from the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and north, leaving no gap for Pei Zonghao to escape. At this time, Pei Zonghao's heart was beating extremely fast, almost reaching a frequency of ten pulses per second. In this situation, I can be described as dead and dead.
Without thinking about it, Pei Zonghao directly picked up Mu Feng Mingyue and smashed it into the lake at his feet, facing the attack of the four puppets himself.
At this moment, dozens of figures came by treading water, among which Pei Zonghao's four guards were the fastest. The four of them just met the four puppets, it may be that the four of them underestimated the four puppets in front of them, just a confrontation, and the four of them were smashed into the lake by the huge force of the puppets. The guards who arrived later went up again, but they couldn't make a move in the hands of the four puppets, and they were killed and wounded.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you take the princess away first, and we will take the back. The guard who was smashed into the water by the puppet before came out of the water at this time, still holding Mu Feng Mingyue in his hands.
"Good. Pei Zonghao took Mu Feng Mingyue from the guards, turned around and left, leaving the four of them and the four puppets to fight fiercely.
"Hmph, are you okay?" At this time, the man in black before stopped Pei Zonghao and pointed the knife in his hand at Pei Zonghao and said.
Pei Zonghao looked at the man in black in front of him, his martial arts cultivation was only in the realm of a martial artist, comparable to himself, and his spiritual cultivation was much lower than his own. Now that there is no threat from the puppet, Pei Zonghao didn't take the man in black in his eyes at all, and directly handed out the sword in his hand and killed the man in black.
"Bell, bell!" the swords collided, causing a series of sparks. The two went back and forth, fighting for dozens of rounds. After the Immortal Slashing Sword and the long knife in the black-clothed man's hand collided again, the two passed by.
After the man in black took a big stride and ran out of the lake for more than ten steps, he rushed into the air, turned around, raised the knife above his head with both hands, bent his legs, and slashed at Pei Zonghao at an extremely fast speed.
"Huh, Yan Nangui?" Pei Zonghao recognized the move of the man in black at a glance at this time.
The move of "Yan Nangui" is a martial arts move that has been passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the man in black in front of him is obviously not able to practice at home, otherwise the speed of this move will be faster.
The man in black took off to kill, Pei Zonghao held the hand on Mu Feng Mingyue's waist, let go of Mu Feng Mingyue's waist at this time, grabbed Mu Feng Mingyue's left armpit, and gently shook Mu Feng Mingyue, Mu Feng Mingyue was like a sack, hung on Pei Zonghao's back.
"Hold on. After Pei Zonghao whispered to Mu Feng Mingyue, he shouted at the man in black: "Hmph!
The tip of the sword of the sword was submerged in the lake by Pei Zonghao, Pei Zonghao picked up the sword fiercely, and a sword qi galloped out on the surface of the lake, bringing up a one-zhang high lake water, rushing towards the oncoming man in black, and Pei Zonghao followed.
Seeing that the sword qi was so sharp, the man in black didn't dare to hold it up, and slashed out with a single sword, and the sword wind formed a phantom in the air, colliding with Pei Zonghao's sword qi.
"Bang!", the sword qi and sword wind collapsed at the same time, disappearing into the air.
At this time, Pei Zonghao had already come to the man in black, and with a cold sword in his hand, he slashed at the man in black. The man in black looked at Pei Zonghao's majestic sword, and his heart was ruthless, and he raised the long knife in his hand to meet him.
"Bell!" the swords collided again, and the qi wave stirred up was centered on the two of them, spreading to a radius of five zhang around the lake, impacting the lake water and surging back and forth on the surface of the lake, lapping against the shore.
At this moment, another cold light flashed from the soles of the black-clothed man's feet. The man in black reacted extremely quickly, and with a fierce force of the long knife in his hand, he pushed Pei Zonghao away, and then turned sideways to avoid this cold light.
Even if the man in black reacted quickly, he still couldn't avoid it completely, and the cold light rose from the soles of the black's feet and cut through the chest of the man in black. The man in black stretched out his left hand, covered his wound, glanced at Pei Zonghao, turned around and left.
