"What do you need for the size of the sword?"

The old man asked.

Some swordsmen have special requirements for the size of the sword, otherwise holding it will affect the strength.

"An ordinary three-foot sword is enough. ”

"I wonder if a sword that has been used by anyone before?"

The old man asked again.

"After a successful assassination, some of the Assassins in the Order used to take away their target's swords and sell them to the Order for an extra profit. ”

The assassins were usually princes and nobles, and the quality of the swords they wore was generally not bad.

"Yes. ”

Li Qiu didn't have so many requirements, because I was afraid that this sword wouldn't be able to follow him for a long time before it could be used.

The growth rate of his strength cannot be justified.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have so much money for the time being, he would have directly asked for a weapon made of pure bronze.

A sword doped with bronze that can withstand the power of a Jiao-level body refiner is worth a lot of money.

Li Qiu took out a few pieces of crystal clear flawless jade from his arms.

In this era, there were no silver tickets, and he killed so many rich merchants to get some money, but it was not very much, and the most precious of them was some beautiful jade.

The jade contains a strong heaven and earth vitality, Li Qiu had used jade to practice the Qinghe Condensation True Decision before, and the cultivation speed was indeed a few points faster than usual, allowing him to break through to the fourth layer of the Qinghe Condensing True Duel, of course, it was also related to the fact that he had reached the edge of breakthrough before.

The feeling of cultivating faster than ever was fascinating, but if it was compared to the improvement of the source power that had been improved by more than ten or even decades of cultivation in an instant, it would be nothing more than a trivial.

After the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the jade is absorbed, the color will become extremely turbid, and even crack and shatter directly.

The beautiful jade that Li Qiu took out had not been absorbed by him.

Because jade contains the vitality of heaven and earth, coupled with its own beauty and flawlessness, it almost plays the role of a large amount of silver in the world, as long as it is a person with a little wealth, they know how to inspect the color of jade to judge its value.

The old man respectfully took the jade and examined it, and returned the two beautiful jades.

"That's more than enough to pay for the sword. ”

"The sword you want will be delivered here in about seven days. ”

Li Qiu put away the beautiful jade.

"Then I'll come back in seven days. ”

It was inconvenient to assassinate without a sword, and he was not in a hurry at this time.

Seven days later.

The old man took out a long sword full of cold light from the sword box, the sword body was shaped like a willow leaf, with exquisite and cumbersome patterns, and near the position of the sword grid, two ancient seals were cast - Chengjun.

"This sword is called Chengjun, which was originally collected by the royal family, and was later rewarded by Xi Hou to Gongzi Ge as a portable sword. ”

He introduced.

The sons of the princes are called princes, and the sons in law are also called princes, and the people who will inherit the throne in the future are the princes.

Gongzi Ge is one of the sons named Ge.

Since his sword is in Tianwen's hand, the fate is naturally self-evident.

Woohoo!

Li Qiu took the Chengjun sword, swung it twice, and after making two sharp sounds of breaking the sky, he casually carried the sword behind him.

"Is there a commission that suits me?"

Needless to say, the first thing that is suitable for an assassin is that his strength must meet the requirements of the entrusted assassin.

Secondly, the time and place should be satisfied.

Because most of the targets of assassination were princes and nobles, they usually lived in their heavily guarded palaces or mansions, and only when they went out hunting or playing, they had a good opportunity to assassinate.

And the time suitable for assassination is not available every day, and it is not always possible to be discovered in advance by the commissioner.

The opportunity must not be missed, so the assassin should usually be at a very close distance to the target, so that he can reach the location of the target within a certain time to complete the assassination.

The old man thought for a moment and said.

"There's an assassination commission right now, and it's perfect for you to complete. ”

"But this assassination commission is a little bit special. ”

"What's so special?"

"Because the target of the assassination and the person who commissioned the assassin were a father and son. ”

Li Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Between princes and nobles, it is very common for brothers to entrust each other with assassins to assassinate each other or assassinate each other's capable people because of their power relationship, and it is rare for fathers and sons to entrust assassinations.

"Does the Father want the Son to die, or does the Son want the Father to die?"

"It's the former. ”

Li Qiu was even more surprised.

It is very rare for a son to ruthlessly entrust an assassin to assassinate his father, and to gain power from his father earlier.

And the father entrusted the assassin to assassinate his son, which has been even rarer since ancient times, after all, tiger poison does not eat children.

"Because of what?"

Li Qiu then asked.

The client can be asked by God to know that the relationship with the assassin is father and son, presumably the other party did not want to hide it.

In this era of assassination, there are many people who hide their identities and entrust assassination, and there are also many who show their identities and explain the reasons.

The former generally does not occupy morality, fearing that the spread of the matter will damage one's reputation and invite disaster, while the latter generally occupies the righteousness and entrusts the assassin to assassinate the target, so that he can be famous and admired by the world.

Li Qiu was curious about what made his father entrust an assassin to assassinate his son, and the spread of this matter could also make his father famous all over the world.

The old man slowly explained the matter.

The father and son are actually the former Situ Weikuan of Shuoguo and the incumbent Situ Weixi.

It all started more than a decade ago.

Nowadays, not only the Son of Heaven and the princes are hereditary, but the ministers and doctors are also generally hereditary, and it is very common for sons to succeed their fathers.

More than ten years ago, the predecessor Shuohou had two sons, one was the son of Luan, and the other was the son of the son, of which the son of the son Luan was the son, and the son was the concubine.

The throne would have been inherited by the prince Luan without accident, and it had nothing to do with the concubine's son.

But more than ten years ago, a major incident occurred, resulting in the replacement of the heir to the throne by Gongzi Hou.

Shi Ziluan was caught by the palace guards and sneaked into the harem late at night to have an affair with the concubine of his predecessor Shuohou, which caused an uproar in Shuo Kingdom.

Adultery with his father and concubine is a great rebellion against ethics!

The ministers have written to request the abolition of Shiziluan, and such a great rebel must not serve as the monarch of Shuo, otherwise he may make the world laugh!

The predecessor Shuo Hou Thunder was furious, ordered the execution of the concubine, and abolished the title of the prince Luan Shizi and demoted him to a commoner, and confined him to the remote and bitter cold land of Shuo for the rest of his life!

Shuohou only has two sons, the prince Luan was deposed, and Gongzi Hou, who had nothing to do with the throne, also changed from Gongzi Hou to Prince Hou, and after the death of the predecessor Shuohou, he successfully inherited the position of Shuohou and became the king of Shuo State.

Until a few months ago, a rumor gradually spread in the Shuo Guo Palace, saying that Shi Ziluan did not have an affair with the former concubine Shuohou, but was actually wrongfully framed, and the culprit behind the scenes pointed directly to the current Shuohou.

Rumors spread all over the country, and people who had personally experienced that incident back then also began to be suspicious, remembering that when it happened, there were indeed some small doubts.

For example, when Shizi Luan was discovered by the palace guards, he was in a trance as if he had lost his god, and even if he was declared to be abolished as a commoner and exiled to a remote and bitter cold place in Shuo, he would rather die than admit that he had fornicated with his father and concubine!

These things, in the eyes of the year, were the affair of Shizi Luan's fornication, which was broken and frightened, and when the matter came, he died of luck and did not admit the ugly things he had done.

But when I turn it over and look at it with the rumors, there is something wrong.

Some ministers of the DPRK and China began to secretly investigate the matter, and just when the results of the matter were not found, something even more suspicious happened.

Shizi Luan, who was relegated to the common people and confined in the remote and bitter cold land of Shuo for the rest of his life, suddenly came to the news of his death!

Not sooner or later, when the ministers of the DPRK and China became suspicious and began to re-investigate the incident that year, the person involved died!

This made the ministers of the DPRK and China even more suspicious of the truth of the events of that year.

The former Situ Weikuan was also one of them, and he used the banquet to ask his son, the current Situ Weixi, about this matter.

Because his son Wei Xi was very close to Gongzi Hou back then, after Gongzi Hou succeeded to the throne and became Shuo Hou, he became Shuo Hou's first favorite minister, although he only inherited his position and became Situ, but the power is the power of the government and the opposition, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people!

But who knew that he was just knocking on the side, his son Wei Xi may be drunk, or maybe because he trusts his father very much, he did not hide and said very proudly that Shizi Luan was indeed framed back then, and this matter was planned by him to push Gongzi Hou, who was originally impossible to inherit the throne, to become the monarch!

And not long ago, the matter was leaked somehow, Shuo Hou hurriedly summoned him to the palace, and it was he who sent someone to kill the deposed Shizi Luan.

Although this may be more suspicious, the predecessor Shuohou only has two sons, as long as the prince Luan dies, even if the son is not right, what can he do!

Wei Kuan listened to all this and remained silent on the surface, but in fact, he was shocked and guilty in his heart.

Because he was one of the few people who led the way in advocating that Shiziluan must be abolished or even executed!

And his son Wei Xi almost committed the murder of the king! It is really bold and rebellious!

In this era, the status between the monarch and the father and the son is almost equal, whether it is killing the father with the son, or killing the king with the minister, it is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and it is a matter of abandonment by man and God!

Then Wei Kuan spread rumors throughout the Shuo Kingdom and the unstable throne of Shuohou, and gave Wei Xi a plan.

Shuo has always had a good-neighborly and friendly relationship with the surrounding Hongguo, and Honghou is being favored by the Son of Heaven, if Honghou can be invited to come forward as a lobbyist, so that the Son of Heaven can meet Shuohou and correct his name, who can question the succession of Shuohou, questioning Shuohou does not mean questioning the Son of Heaven!

Although the power of the royal family is declining, it is still nominally the co-lord of the world, and what he said is tantamount to Chrysostom and Yuyan, canonizing the edict!

In order to make Honghou feel the sincerity of Shuoguo, it is best for Wei Xi, the first favorite minister under Shuohou, to serve as an envoy to Hongguo.

In addition, if Wei Xi can promote this matter and solve the big problem for Shuohou, he will definitely be more favored by Shuohou!

Wei Xi was very excited when he heard this, and he was very grateful to Wei Kuan for giving him advice, and quickly entered the palace and told Shuo Hou about this plan.

Shuohou also readily agreed, so he asked Wei Xi to send him as an envoy to Hongguo immediately.

So Wei Xi took some retinues and a few carts of gifts, and went to Hongguo.

“...... Wei Kuan came up with this plan for his son Wei Xi, naturally he was not sincere, but wanted to lead Wei Xi out of Shuo and kill this monarch-killing thief on the way, in the name of the Zhengwei family!"

After the old man finished talking about the whole story of the assassination commission, he stopped.

"I took the commission. Li Qiu thought for a moment and said.

It just so happened that he could use this commission to further verify how much Yuan Li had obtained, whether it was related to the apparent official position or the actual power.

This Wei Xi is just the Situ of Shuoguo, strictly speaking, there are a few ministers in Shuoguo and his official position, but his power is above 10,000 people under one person!

If after killing it, the source power obtained is the source power of all the people in Shuo Kingdom, and the actual power determines the amount of source power.

If it is only a fraction of the source power of all the people in Shuo Kingdom, it is the official position on the surface that determines the amount of source power.

"Wei Kuan paid a total of 6,000 gold to kill his son, including not only the reward for killing Wei Xi, but also the reward for killing Wei Xi, and I hope that after you kill Wei Xi, you will throw this silk cloth that records the beginning and end of the incident on Wei Xi's corpse. ”

As he spoke, the old man took out the road map and a piece of silk cloth for Wei Xi as an envoy to Hongguo.

Li Qiu took the road map and silk cloth and looked at it.

The content on the silk cloth is the same as that of the old man of wine.

The information recorded on the road map is very detailed, not only about where Wei Xi will arrive one day, but also the strength to protect Wei Xi's people.

A Qi-level body refiner with the power of the four gods and a Qi refiner in the early stage of leaving the dust.

As for Wei Xi's own strength, it is only an elephant level, almost negligible.

Li Qiu skipped the portrait of the Qi-level body refiner with the power of the four gods, and his gaze finally stayed on the portrait of the Qi refiner in the early stage of the Lichen period, his brows furrowed slightly.

A Rank-level body refiner who had a strength gap of nearly twice as much as him was not to be worried.

Only this Qi Refiner in the early stage of leaving the dust was a little troublesome, so he had to beware that he saw that the situation was not right, and directly took Wei Xi to escape.

He can't fly in the air, and once he lets the opponent rise to the sky, the assassination can be said to be a failure.

But with care, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Since it was an assassination, it was natural that it should be killed with one blow if it was unprepared!

By the time the people reacted, the assassination was over.

Li Qiu put away the road map and silk cloth.

"The commission should have a deposit, right?"

"Yes. The old man replied.

"With these two pieces of jade, I need some cultivation methods to condense the Yuan Seed, and I hope the organization will help me collect them, the more the better, the more profound the better. ”

Li Qiu took out the two beautiful jades that he had just put in his arms.

"Absolutely. The old man took it respectfully, a little hesitant: "You just need to condense the cultivation method of the Yuan Seed?"

It is not surprising that most body refiners will look for qi refining methods to cultivate concurrently in order to prolong the lifespan of their bodies.

But for such a thing as the Qi Refining Method, it only needs one that can find the most profound and powerful one, and what is the use of having more, and how can anyone just condense the basic method of the Yuan Seed.

"I wonder if the organization can collect the world's best qi refining method?" Li Qiu's eyes lit up slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something.

The old man shook his head.

"Hardly possible. ”
