The several sons of Yongguo, the struggle for more than ten years around the throne of the monarch finally came to an end.

As a result, Lao Yonghou died, and Gongziqu inherited the throne of Yongguo.

For several years, Gongziqu has been supported by his teacher Sikong Yunli, and he is quite powerful in the Yongguo court, and he is the most likely person to inherit the throne of the monarch among the several princes.

In fact, among the three divisions, Sima is the most powerful, Situ is second, and Sikong is the weakest.

But Sima held the power of the army, and Lao Yonghou would not allow him to participate in the struggle for power and position between the princes, and get too close to any of the princes.

Situ himself had no intention of participating in the battle for his son, which led to Gongziqu, who had Sikong's support, becoming the most powerful son in the court.

Only Gongzi Lian, who has the support of Si Kou, can barely compete with him.

But before a month, Gongziqu's reliance and his teacher Sikong Yunli were assassinated, and it was not his faction who held the position of Sikong after that.

As a result, he, who was originally the most powerful and most likely to inherit the throne of the king, fell into the person who lost the position the most and seemed the least likely to inherit the throne.

Gongziqu seemed to be unable to withstand this huge blow, and since then he has become depressed, and he who was originally in the court began to become speechless, looking depressed and extremely sad.

More than ten days before the death of the old man in the court, he asked him why he was like this in the court.

With red eyes, he replied.

"First, because the teacher was assassinated to death more than ten days ago, and second, when he saw that his father's health was getting worse day by day, his heart was like a knife, and he felt even more grief. ”

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground in a very rude manner, crying and crying in public.

Several sons in the court looked at the once high-spirited Gongziqu so unbearable, and they were laughing at him in their hearts Why because the teacher was assassinated, and his father's body is getting weaker and weaker, I am afraid that it is because he fell from the peak to the bottom overnight, and he lost the position of the monarch who was already close at hand.

Since then, several princes have regarded him as a great enemy, and kicked out of the queue that may compete with him for the throne of the country.

After Gongziqu lost power, Gongzilian became the most likely person to inherit the throne of the monarch, but no prince was willing to give up the throne of the monarch.

Especially in the last few days when Lao Yonghou couldn't get out of bed, the competition between several sons around the throne of the monarch became more intense, and he could only stand in the corner of the court like an outsider.

In the end, a few sons were no longer reconciled, and the competition in the court was still dominated by Gongzi Lian.

Just when everyone thought that Lao Yonghou would definitely pass on the throne of the monarch to Gongzi Lian, and some Gongzi had begun to try to repair relations with Gongzi Lian to please him.

Who knew that Lao Yonghou died and left a will, and actually passed the throne of the monarch to Gongziqu!

Passing on the throne to Gongziqu, who has lost power, is the most unlikely to inherit the throne of the monarch?!

All the sons felt indignant, but there was nothing they could do.

With Lao Yonghou's last life, Sima, Situ and Keqing are all standing on the side of Gongziqu, and they can't make any waves.

Several sons, who usually have a poor relationship with Gongziqu, fled one after another.

After some preparations, Gongziqu successfully ascended the throne and became the monarch of Yongguo.

Above the Yonggong court.

Gongziqu, who is of medium stature and has a decent appearance, wears a crown on his head, wears a dark robe embroidered with the pattern of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, does not squint, walks with dragons and tigers, and is quite majestic as a monarch, and walks to the big chair.

His Royal Highness's ministers leaned over the mountain and shouted.

"Meet the King!"

Gongziqu turned around and sat down, his eyes swept over His Highness's ministers, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, with a faint smile on his face, he stretched out his hands and said slowly.

"The doctors are flat. ”

Some of his stupid brothers didn't understand why their father passed on the throne to him in the end.

A hint of mockery flashed in Gongziqu's eyes.

Because the power struggle of several brothers in the court is just to show their abilities and means to Lao Yonghou as much as possible, so that he can better choose the successor.

Over the years, he had proven his ability at court, and could almost be said to be the most qualified of his brothers to inherit the throne, even if he lost power in the end.

Unless you control the entire court and set up Lao Yonghou, the so-called power who is high and who is low is just between Lao Yonghou's thoughts.

Similarly, who will eventually inherit the throne of the monarch is not determined by who has the power in the court or not.

Whoever can make Lao Yonghou like it, who will be the next monarch of Yongguo!

Lao Yonghou also knew that his death was approaching, and what he wanted to see was not the fierce struggle between his sons over the throne of the king, but what he longed for more should be his son's concern for him, and his son's sadness for his imminent death.

After his teacher Yunli was assassinated, he had no choice but to fight with grief and filial piety, and finally gambled on Lao Yonghou to pass on the throne to him before his death.

Now that he has ascended to the throne of Yongguo with his heart, it is time to take revenge!

Gongziqu's eyes were cold.

"Tell the world that some assassins have the audacity to assassinate Ben Hou's teacher, such as the assassin who killed him with a reward of 10,000 dollars, and he will be named the guest secretary of Yongguo. ”

Originally, he was supposed to inherit the throne without any risk, because the assassin assassinated Yun Li, causing him to inherit the throne with a lot of twists and turns.

But in fact, he was somewhat grateful to the assassin who assassinated Yunli.

He worshiped Yunli as a teacher, but he just wanted to rely on his power, and he didn't have much sincerity.

If Yunli is not dead, after he ascends the throne, Yunli will become an obstacle to him.

Due to the limitations of etiquette and righteousness, he was afraid that he could not ignore his opinion in many things, and he had to endure the other party's criticism of him as a king, and he could not have an attack.

Yun Li's death saved him a lot of trouble.

But just like if Yunli is alive, even if he doesn't have any respect for the teacher in Yunli's heart, he can't be disrespectful to Yunli on the surface.

His teacher was assassinated, and he, a student, can't help but express something!

Moreover, if he can avenge him, it will also be good for his reputation!

The assassin Fengqiu incarnated by Li Qiu was very strong in his own right, and he had a secret method that could hide his heartbeat and change his face, coupled with Yonghou's bounty, which quickly spread his reputation in the north, and many people heard about it, including many people who remembered him.

Shokoku, Valley City.

In the stronghold of the Tianwen Organization.

Li Qiu didn't care too much about it after learning from Huang Lao's mouth that Gongziqu inherited the throne of Yongguo and offered a reward for his head.

After thanking Huang Lao for the reminder, he turned to ask about the commission.

"This commission is from You Guo, the identity of the client is unknown, and the assassination target is You Hou. ”

Huang Lao said slowly.

"In addition, the person who commissioned the assassination from the organization would like to see you. ”

"He promised that if he could see Your Excellency, the original honorarium would be increased from 25,000 to 30,000!"

You Guo is not as strong as Yongguo, and its strength is not so strong.

The difficulty of assassinating his monarch is at most more difficult than assassinating Yun Li.

It's just that since You Hou is the king of a country, the honorarium should be higher, and another 5,000 gold will be added.

But the client said that if he could see Li Qiu, he could add another 5,000 gold.

You Hou's status as the monarch is only 5,000 gold, and he is willing to pay another 5,000 gold just to see him, which has to be said to be a big deal.

Li Qiu frowned, he remembered the reward that he hadn't taken to heart just now.

It is not uncommon for some clients to ask for an assassin to meet with an assassin after verifying their ability because the assassination they need to commission is a matter of life and death, so they are not uneasy.

But as soon as he was offered a reward, someone asked for money to see him, and it was really hard not to make him suspicious.

Huang Lao also seemed to know what Li Qiu was thinking, and reminded.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, because this commission was issued before Yonghou's death. ”

"Before Yonghou died?"

When Li Qiu heard this, his heart was a little relieved.

At that time, Gongziqu had not yet been determined as the next monarch of Yongguo, and the reward was issued after his accession to the throne.

As for saying that Gongziqu wanted to avenge the division at that time, it was almost impossible to send someone to the bureau set up by You Guo.

At that time, the overall situation was undecided, how could he have this thought.

And if he really set up this game, he shouldn't have issued a bounty later to make him suspicious.

"If your Excellency wishes, the client will ask you to meet in two days at a mansion in the city of Youguohu. ”

Huang Lao took out a few pieces of silk cloth from under the counter and put them on the counter.

Li Qiu's gaze swept over.

Among them is the portrait and other information of You Houhe, who is responsible for protecting his guest secretary of You Guo.

In addition, there is a map of You Guohu City, marked with a red dot, which should be the house where the client asked him to meet.

After thinking for a while, Li Qiu put away the silk cloth on the counter.

"I took the commission. ”

Hu Cheng happened to be on his way to the capital of You Guoguo, so it didn't hurt to meet him on the way.

Assassination commissions are not common, and he is usually like other qi refiners, absorbing the vitality in the jade to accelerate his cultivation.

I didn't give up self-cultivation and the cultivation of the Yuan Qi technique because I could use the source power to improve.

Every time his strength increases a little, the source power that can be extended to the next realm can be reduced a little.

The same is true between self-cultivation and the use of source power to enhance vitality.

So in a sense, the jade that could accelerate his cultivation speed could almost be equated with the source force.

And buying jade, especially flawless jade that contains more heaven and earth vitality, requires a lot of money!

Two days later, You Guohu City.

In a wine shop, Li Qiu was wearing a black robe, changed into another ordinary face, and sat at the table drinking wine.

As he drank his drink, he noticed the movement of a house diagonally across the street.

Although the other party wants to see him, it is almost impossible to be malicious, but the so-called caution makes the ship of ten thousand years.

Suddenly, Li Qiu's ears moved.

A horse-drawn carriage came from across the street.

This carriage is very unusual, it should be the person he is waiting for.

Because the driver's heart beats like a heavy drum, and the blood flow all over his body is like a river collapsing, he is extremely powerful, and he is about a Jiao-level body refiner.

There were two people sitting in the carriage, one of them had nothing to say, the key was that the other heartbeat was also very slow unlike ordinary people, and he was a Qi Refiner with a high realm.

Li Qiu estimated that he should be the same as him, in the late stage of Lichen.

He didn't turn his head to look, lest his gaze draw his attention.

Drinking with a calm face, the three of them entered the mansion.

After waiting for a moment, he got up and walked out of the liquor store, and walked around the mansion to make sure that there were no more noteworthy people within a radius of several miles, and then he stood in front of the mansion.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door, and a big man in coarse clothes and a rough appearance opened the door.

He looked at Li Qiu, who was of medium stature and ordinary appearance at this time, and his eyes were suspicious.

"What?"

"Go to the appointment. ”

Li Qiu replied slowly.

A flash of surprise flashed in Dahan's eyes.

Because what he heard Li Qiu's heartbeat and other signs were no different from ordinary people.

"How can you prove that you are the one my master is waiting for. ”

A normal heartbeat doesn't prove anything.

He was afraid that the person his master was waiting for would find an ordinary person to come to the appointment instead of him.

After all, the newly enthroned Yonghou issued a reward for that person.

Li Qiu stretched out his hand and crushed the corner of the door lightly.

The fine pieces of wood that had been crushed by two slender fingers fell in front of the big man's eyes.

"This power ......"

The big man raised his eyebrows.

This power is nothing to him with the power of Erjiao.

Even whale-level body refiners can do it easily.

But if the person who can do this is a person whose heartbeat and signs are like ordinary people, the meaning of the representation is very extraordinary.

"Please come in, the master has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The big man stepped aside and stretched out his hand.

Li Qiu nodded and walked towards the courtyard.

The house is very ordinary, it should just be a temporary place for the other party to buy it and meet him.

Dahan led the way and opened the door for Li Qiu.

Li Qiu stepped into the room.

There were two kneeling people in the room, one was wearing a brocade robe and a black cloak, a fair-skinned man in his thirties, and his temperament was somewhat gentle.

A qi refiner in a plain robe sat on his knees with his eyes closed, as if he was recuperating his spirits.

"Your Excellency is the Assassin Fengqiu?"

The white-faced man bowed.

Li Qiu knelt down and returned the salute.

"Yes. ”

"I thought that Yonghou had made a reward for your life, and you might not go to the appointment for your own safety. ”

"But unexpectedly, Your Excellency still came. ”

The white-faced man chuckled.

Li Qiu did not speak.

He asked instead.

"Aren't you curious about who I am who I entrusted you with assassination?"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

"Your Excellency should be You Hou's younger brother. ”

Especially if you die, whoever is likely to have the greatest benefit may be the one who entrusts the assassination.

You Hou is the eldest son of the elder You Hou and has only three younger brothers.

Judging by his age, it should also be in line with his conjecture.

"Your Excellency guessed right, I am You Hou's youngest brother, Gongzi Dai. ”

...... For the sake of full attendance, please forgive me and maintain it after uploading

If the body refiners and qi refiners of the lower realms were afraid that before they could react, they would have been dismantled by the sword light.

It is a powerful body refiner qi refiner, and it is not so easy to capture the sword light.

Li Qiu was unexpectedly satisfied with this Yuan Qi technique.

Maybe he lost a Yuan Qi technique not long ago, and the heavens used this Yuan Qi technique to make up for him.

The request he made to the Tianwen Organization was that he wanted a Yuan Qi technique that could concentrate on the offensive.

Don't be like the Qinghe Horizontal Sky Technique and the Infinite Sea, the offensive is majestic but not concentrated.
