Chapter 305: Assassination of Mu Hou (2-in-1)

Until his whereabouts reached the ears of Shiziyi, the monarch of Mu State, he secretly sent a strong man to Hongguo to assassinate Gongzi Jia.

Nangong Wan lived up to what Mu Xinghou had entrusted him back then, and died together with the strong men sent by Shi Ziyi, saving Gongzijia's life.

Because of Li Qiu's assassination of Wei Xi, the monarch of Hong ordered a search of the whole country, causing Gongzi Jia to expose his tracks and invite a horrific assassination, but in the end, he was also freed, so that he could regain the position of the monarch that should belong to him according to his heart.

If he wants to regain the throne of the monarch of the country, it is very simple, as long as he returns to the country of Mu and shouts, the people and doctors of the country will support him on the throne.

Despite his fickle heart, he has been missing for several years.

But as far as he knows, in the past few years, Shi Ziyi stayed in the position of the monarch, and almost did few good things, making the country of Mu into a miasma, and the people were miserable.

Thanks to Shi Ziyi's incompetence, the support of the people and doctors of Mu may be even greater than before.

It's just that Nangong Wan died, he regained his freedom, and he also lost his protection, and how to return to Mu safely is a problem.

Shiziyi is afraid that he will send someone to assassinate him again, and kill him at all costs on the way back to Mu.

If he wants to return to Mu State, he must solve the problem of Shi Ziyi, and even if he returns to Mu State safely, Shi Ziyi's dying counterattack will also pose a certain danger to him.

So he came up with an idea to find an assassin to kill Shi Ziyi and then return to Mu.

At that time, it may not be that he wants to return to Mu by all means, but that Mu sent a doctor and an army to take him back to inherit the throne.

However, there was also a difficulty in doing so, as he did not have enough honorarium to entrust the Assassin Order with the assassination.

But fortunately, he is not an ordinary person, he is the son of Mu Guo, as long as the prince dies, he will be the king of Mu Guo, and this identity alone is worth ten thousand gold!

Since it is obviously easier to sacrifice him to Shi Ziyi than to assassinate the monarch of a country, Shi Ziyi can also come up with ten thousand gold, he is afraid that the sheep will fall into the tiger's mouth and throw himself into the net, so he found the Tianwen organization that can be said to have the best reputation among the many assassin organizations.

In his special capacity, he promised the Tianwen Organization that as long as the Tianwen Organization accepted his commission and sent assassins to kill Shi Ziyi, after he succeeded to the throne, he would be rewarded with 30,000 gold!

One gold is a pound of gold, 30,000 gold is 30,000 catties of gold, and 300,000 taels of gold!

The assassination of the princes of a big country, of course, is not only the price, but at least ten times the price, but Mu is only a small country, and it is more than enough to buy the life of its monarch with 30,000 gold.

Of course, 30,000 gold is the price for the Tianwen Organization, and 10,000 gold for the Assassin who accepts the commission.

The usual assassination commission, the commission of the Tianwen organization is not so exaggerated, mainly because this time the situation is special.

However, 10,000 gold is a lot, and under normal circumstances, the Assassin may be paid a little less.

Li Qiu listened quietly, and there was a hint of intent in his eyes.

"What strength do you need to take this assassination commission?"

The old man carefully observed Li Qiu's eyes and said.

"You need a Qi-level body refiner with the power of the Nine Blades, or a Qi Refiner in the late stage of leaving the dust. ”

Li Qiu's previous strength was only the strength of the Six Blades, but ordinary assassins would hide some of their strength.

Last time, Li Qiu took over the process of entrusting the assassination of Wei Xi, and the Tianwen organization also knew something.

First of all, it was able to stealthily approach the target within dozens of feet, which made it impossible for the Tianwen Organization to treat it as an ordinary assassin.

Secondly, after he killed Wei Xi, he actually killed Yan Chang and Gu Shang who protected Wei Xi.

Yan Chang also counted, the key is that Gu Shang is a Qi Refiner in the early stage of Lichen who can fly in the air, and he can be said to be almost invincible to the upper body refiner!

Even if the opponent takes the initiative to fall, unless he encounters a strong person who can kill him with one blow, he can fly back to the sky in the next moment.

The old man had two guesses that Li Qiu could do this.

One is that he has hidden part of his body refining strength, and the other is that he has unshown qi refining strength and can also fly in the air.

Although Li Qiu asked for some qi refining methods before, it was not only the basic part of the condensation pill seed that was more powerful, most of them were not used for cultivation, and cultivating those was tantamount to self-destruction of the future, so it should be of other uses.

The old man guessed that Li Qiu's strength must not be as simple as it appeared, so he would say this commission.

As for why he told Li Qiu about this assassination commission.

Naturally, it is unprofitable to be early, Li Qiu will take over and complete this commission, and he will also have a certain share.

After a moment of silence, Li Qiu spoke.

"I took the commission. ”

"Sure enough, it's a hidden strength. ”

A flash of excitement flashed in the old man's eyes, and he took out the bronze ball from under the counter and said with a sneer.

"Although I believe in Lord Fengqiu, the process that the organization stipulates should be followed still has to be followed. ”

Li Qiu didn't speak, took the bronze ball, and squeezed it hard in his hand.

After a tooth-aching sound of metal deformation, there was an extremely deep fingerprint on the bronze ball.

The old man took it, and after confirming Li Qiu's strength, he took out a map, on which a vast palace was drawn.

"My lord, this is the map of the palace where Mu Guo Mu Hou lived drawn by that Gongzi Jia based on his memory. ”

When Mu Xinghou was still alive, Gongzi Jia's status in Mu was tantamount to that of the crown prince, and Mu Hou's palace was similar to his own home, and he still remembered it deeply even after a few years.

"In addition......" The old man took out another piece of silk cloth and respectfully handed it to Li Qiu: "This is the information given by Gongzi Jia about the strong man of Mu State." ”

"Because for powerful Qi Refiners and Body Refiners, a few years is just a flick of a finger, and there shouldn't be any discrepancies, so the organization has not carried out detailed verification of this information. ”

Mu is just a small country, and even if he assassinates its monarch, it will not attract much attention from the Tianwen organization.

"But I still have to remind you to be careful, after all, Mu has changed a monarch, maybe something has changed. ”

There is nothing to lose by saying this, maybe it can increase Li Qiu's favor, and of course the old man will not be stingy with this reminder.

Li Qiu nodded, and took the map and the information about the strong people of the Mu Kingdom.

Because of this assassination commission, only a sword-level body refiner with the power of the Nine Blades can accept it, so the information given is a strong person who is worthy of his attention.

There were three of them.

Two Yu-level body refiners, one Mu Guo Da Sima and one Mu Guo General, respectively with the power of eight and six respectively, the two of them live in Mu City, the capital of Mu Guo, and if there is any movement in Mu Hou's palace, they can arrive immediately.

The princely states of the world generally have different official titles, but the more common ones have three positions: Sikong, Situ, and Sima, who are respectively in charge of national land taxes, civil household registration, and military soldiers and horses.

Finally, he is a Qi Refiner in the late stage of leaving the dust, who is the guest secretary of Mu Guo, and usually lives in the Mu Hou Palace to protect his safety.

The official positions may be different in each vassal state, but the official ranks are the same, divided into three levels: scholar, doctor, and secretary.

Keqing can almost be said to be the person with the highest status in a country except for the monarch and the prince, comparable to Sikong, Situ and Sima, but he does not hold real power.

Originally, there should have been four people worthy of Li Qiu's attention, and there was also a general with the power of the Seven Guards, but Nangong Wantong, who was in charge of protecting Gongzi Jia, was killed, so there were only three people left.

The lineup of protection targets this time is completely different from the last assassination of Wei Xi, after all, Wei Xi was only a courtier after all, and the people accompanying him to protect him have the restrictions on the specifications of the envoy, but this time it is a monarch of a country!

And although Mu, Hong, and Shuo are all the lowest in strength among the princely states in the world, there are still strong and weak countries among the weak countries, and Mu is stronger than Shuo and Hong.

This time, there are still Qi Refiners, and their strength is not bad, but this time compared to last time, Li Qiu is much more relaxed, and he doesn't feel that it is too tricky.

After all, this time he is not only a Qi-level body refiner with the power of the Nine Heavens, but also a mid-stage Qi refiner who has cultivated the peerless Qi Refining Method, but he can only fly in the air, wouldn't he?

Under the bronze mask, Li Qiu put away the map and information about the strong man of the Mu Kingdom, showed a chuckle, and turned to leave.

"Master Fengqiu walks slowly. ”

After Li Qiu showed his stronger strength, the old man also became more respectful and cautious towards him.

In the capital of Muguo, it is autumn, and the cold wind is howling, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground.

It was twilight when flocks of crows suddenly flew over the capital, obscuring the sky.

In the center of the capital, there is a tall, spacious, and magnificent palace where successive monarchs of the Mu Kingdom have lived.

It's just that due to the different kings of the past dynasties, the eyes and expressions of the people on the street looking in the direction of the palace are also different, and in recent years, the people who have looked in the direction of the palace have mostly sadness, disgust and resentment on their faces.

Since the monarch of this generation of Mu Guoguo succeeded to the throne, he has taken care of political affairs, and the few decrees issued by him are mostly mediocre, usually extravagant and wasteful, poor and extravagant, and never care about the life and death of the lower class people.

Originally, due to Mu Xinghou, the Mu country had not seen the momentum of prosperity for a few years, and now it is declining, how can the people not hate such a monarch.

In the main hall of Mu Palace, the candlelight is long, as bright as day.

The door of the palace is closed to keep the cold wind out of the door, and the four corners of the palace are set up with huge braziers, which makes the hall warm.

Mu Yi, the monarch of Mu State, leaned on a large chair covered with fur, holding a jade cup full of wine, watching the singing and dancing below, and drank wildly.

His Royal Highness knelt neatly and sat several musicians, playing kites, flutes, or drums.

In the center of the hall, where Mu Yi's eyes gathered, several dancing girls wearing tulle long skirts and good looks, like butterflies flying in the spring flowers, fluttering and dancing, dancing and singing, accompanied by leisurely music, the singing voice is graceful and intoxicating.

At this moment, Mu Yi, who was lying on the big chair, looking at the moving dancing girls, listening to beautiful music and singing, and drinking mellow wine one by one, had a different look on his face than before, making people feel that he had no intention of happiness, only irritability, restlessness, and even a trace of fear flashed in his eyes from time to time.

It has been several years since he ascended to the throne of Mu, and for several years he has not given up on finding his uncle's damned son, Gongzi Jia.

Gongzi Jia will not die for a day, and he will be at peace in his heart for a day, for fear that one day Gongzi Jia will suddenly run out and take away his position as king!

It wasn't until not long ago that he finally got the trace of Gongzi Jia, and he was actually hiding in Hongguo, which was not far from Mu Guo, and immediately excitedly sent someone to secretly assassinate him.

But as a result, the people he sent and Nangong Wantong were wiped out, and Gongzi Jia was nowhere to be found, no matter how much he sent people to look for him, he couldn't find it.

It was as if some force had hidden it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find a trace.

He suspected that it was done by the doctors in the court, after all, the group of doctors resolutely opposed his succession back then, and when they heard the news of Gongzi Jia, they might send someone to take him back.

But he felt that he had covered up the news well, and if he didn't understand anything, he would leak it out and let the doctors know.

In recent days, he has become more and more irritable and restless, and he wonders if Gongzi Jia will be under the protection of the people sent by the doctors, and will rush back to Mu without stopping.

Suddenly, one day, Gongzi Jia would appear in front of him without warning, dressed in the crown of princes, surrounded by the doctors, and drive him from the throne, while the doctors, who usually hated him, looked at him with mocking eyes, and pointed at him in despair and embarrassment.

This scene has been dreaming of him almost every night lately, and Childe Jia has almost become his nightmare.

His Royal Highness's dancers danced and rotated gracefully to the beautiful music, showing endless charm.

But he couldn't divert Mu Yi's mood, and a glass of mellow and sweet wine couldn't extinguish the irritability in his heart, and the beautiful music and singing only made him feel noisy and noisy, adding fuel to the fire.

Syllable!

The crystal jade cup that was usually the most loved by Mu Yi, and was filled with fine wine, was thrown to the ground by him with angry eyes and a hideous face, and was shattered!

"Get out!"

"Ahhh

Mu Yi, who is the monarch of Mu State, has no demeanor of a monarch, like a mad beast roaring hysterically!

The musicians and dancers turned pale with fright and looked frightened, and ran out of the hall screaming!

"Someone!

The piercing screams echoed in the palace, making Mu Yi even more irritable, and a touch of blood red appeared in his eyes.

"Kill all of these people!"

"Shut them up!"

The door of the heavy hall was pushed open, and a group of armorers wearing iron armor and holding halberds walked in with a very oppressive atmosphere, and began to slaughter the music girls and dancing girls according to Mu Yi's orders without saying a word!

"Good!"

"Hahaha!"

Mu Yi watched His Highness's dancing girls and music girls being killed by the armor, his expression was frightened and fell in a pool of blood, and most of his irritability dissipated in his heart, only to feel extremely happy, laughing wildly!

But he didn't notice that one of the armorers had never left his cold gaze since he entered the palace!

Bang!

The earth cracked like a spider's web.

Among the armorers, suddenly a armor soldier holding a halberd shot out like an arrow with a step under his feet, and the halberd in his hand pierced the air and pointed directly at Mu Yi!
