After listening to Meng Tiannan's introduction, Xiao Rui understood why he had never heard of Fang Xuanling's name when he was in the imperial capital of Zhao.

It turned out that as early as ten years ago, Fang Xuanling was the head of the household department of Zhao and participated in political affairs, but because of his relatively straightforward temperament, he angered Emperor Zhao many times, so he was demoted to a local governor. With the fall of the Zhao State, Fang Xuanling was unwilling to take refuge in the Qin State, so he retired to the mountains and forests.

When he came to Daxia this time, Meng Tiannan knew Fang Xuanling's ability, and also knew the thoughts of Xiao Rui and His Majesty, so he wanted to recommend him as the head of the household. But Fang Xuanling was frustrated with officialdom and the old country was destroyed, and his heart was heavy, and it was not easy to win him over, so he invited Xiao Rui to come in person.

Xiao Rui was immediately grateful: "Although the master's legs and feet are inconvenient, his loyalty to the country and the people has always been concerned about state affairs, and the students are very admired. If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can learn like their masters, why worry that Great Xia can't dominate Shenzhou? ”

Meng Tiannan laughed and said: "All living beings are fame and fortune, and officials cannot escape the temptation of fame and fortune, how many people can truly serve the country and the people?" Therefore, this requires the person in charge to formulate rules, and under the rules, he can do his job well, and Daxia will be able to dominate Shenzhou! Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are the one who creates the rules, not the one who follows them, remember. ”

Xiao Rui was stunned, and then bowed his hand and said, "The student has been taught!" ”

Meng Tiannan continued: "Fang Xuanling is an upright person, I have kept him many times in the past two days, and I wanted him to stay in Great Xia as an official, but he refused, so I can only look at His Highness's ability." ”

"Don't worry, Master, this palace understands." After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he checked the system.

"Please complete the demands of the face character to ensure loyalty!"

Sure enough, it is not so easy to subdue Fang Xuanling, and it is even said that this is the most difficult appeal since the arrival of the character.

The crowd came to the banquet hall, and the supper began.

With Meng Tiannan and Meng Tianhai as companions, the atmosphere did not seem awkward, and Xiao Rui was not in a hurry to win over Fang Xuanling, understanding the principle of step-by-step, but communicating with Fang Xuanling very politely.

And Xiao Rui's gentle and elegant self-cultivation also made Fang Xuanling feel good.

And just like that, the dinner party became lively.

Today, the moon is sparsely stard, and the bright moon as big as a disc renders the heavens and the earth into a piece of silver.

With the order to move, the fifty dead soldiers of the Qin State began to act, they left the hiding house, came to the outside of the wall of the Meng Mansion, and then directly climbed over the wall and went straight to the banquet hall.

If you encounter a subordinate along the way, you will be shot directly by the dead, and their methods are crisp and neat, and the goal is clear. Meng Tiannan was only the dean of the Reading Academy, and the guards in the palace were naturally inferior to the forbidden army, so his vigilance was very low, and even if he found the movement, he was shot by the dead.

In this way, the dead man passed through the courtyard and the cloister, and finally touched the place where the banquet hall was, and then entered the courtyard.

The banquet hall of the Meng Mansion is semi-open, and it happens that the bright moon is hanging high today, and the autumn wind is blowing, so the wooden doors are all opened to let the autumn wind blow in.

The dead man suddenly rushed into the courtyard and immediately startled the people who were drinking.

"Who are you! Dare to trespass into the Meng Mansion! Someone, there's an assassin! Meng Tianhai realized that something was wrong, and this group of people must have come to assassinate the prince, so he shouted loudly and immediately called for help.

Xiao Rui glanced at the black-clothed dead man in the courtyard, and then said to Meng Tiannan and Fang Xuanling: "Don't worry, two gentlemen!" ”

Meng Tiannan was still very worried just now, if something happened to the prince in his mansion, then he would not be able to make up for it even if he lost his old life! But seeing that the crown prince was victorious, he was relieved.

Fang Xuanling nodded, watching the development of the situation curiously.

At this time, Li Yuanfang was standing in front of the door of the banquet hall, with more than a dozen guards beside him, who immediately protected the banquet hall.

"Kill!"

When the dead soldiers of the Qin State saw Xiao Rui in the hall, they didn't talk nonsense at all, and directly began to rush and kill.

Li Yuanfang wanted to scold a few words, but the other party didn't cooperate, so he could only pull out the iron dragon chant and slash at the dead man who bore the brunt of it!

At the same time, the guards behind Li Yuanfang also began to fight, they were not ordinary guards, including Mu Chen, Qinglian Swordsman, Yan Qing and other masters, otherwise, how could Xiao Rui dare to bring such a small number of people into danger?

So as soon as they fought, the dead soldiers of the Qin State realized that the big thing was not good!

Of course, something even more unexpected happened!

Of the fifty dead soldiers who came to Great Xia this time, forty were arranged by the Bai family, and only ten were arranged by the Mo family. The Mo family asked Mo Liangchen to contact Xiao Rui and wanted to take refuge in Great Xia, and Mo Liangchen had already handed over the list of dead soldiers to Xiao Rui, full of sincerity.

So in tonight's assassination event, the dead soldiers of the Mo family did not come to assassinate Xiao Rui!

They immediately tore off the black cloth on their faces, and then suddenly turned back and killed the dead soldiers of the Bai family beside them. The dead soldier of the Bai family was suddenly stabbed by an accomplice next to him, and his face was incredulous when he was dying.

In this way, the forty dead soldiers of the Bai family were counter-surrounded, and then eliminated one by one, and the corpses were scattered throughout the courtyard.

Xiao Rui picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "I hope the assassin didn't sweep our Yaxing!" ”

Meng Tianhai came back to his senses, and he still had some palpitations.

Meng Tiannan said with a smile: "There is a false alarm, come, have a drink together." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded, and his understanding of Xiao Rui in his heart deepened again.

At this time, Li Yuanfang released a rocket, ignited it and shot straight into the sky, exploding a fireworks. When the patrol battalion saw the fireworks signal, they immediately dispatched and quickly blocked the five streets outside Mengfu, ensuring that not a single bird could fly out.

A quiet house in the far reaches of the Meng Mansion.

Huang Qilin is waiting for the completion of the assassination mission!

In his opinion, this mission is nine out of ten, and he has tried his best to lure Xiao Rui out, there is no master in front of him to protect him, and it is difficult for him to escape in the face of a brave and unafraid of death.

At that moment, a brilliant firework lit up in the sky.

Huang Qilin's smile was even bigger, it seemed that the dead soldiers had already started to besiege and kill, and the prince's personal guards couldn't resist it, so they were dazzled to warn, but unfortunately, when the patrol battalion arrived, Xiao Rui had already been killed.

As long as Xiao Rui dies, everything will return to the origin of competition, and his grandson will be able to take the throne and fulfill his long-cherished wish!

"Whoever has the last laugh is the winner!" Huang Qilin sipped his tea, a lingering smile on his face.

At this point, he was waiting for his men to return to make sure that the dead man had succeeded.

That subordinate is a master he has carefully cultivated, a four-rank peak martial artist, Huang Qilin sent him to secretly peep at whether the dead man succeeded, because according to the previous plan, the dead men fled after they succeeded, and whether they lived or died next, Huang Qilin didn't care, let alone see them, which was also Huang Qilin's means to protect himself.

So whether Xiao Rui is dead or not still has to be confirmed.

At this moment, a dark shadow climbed over the wall into the house and hurried in.

"Master, something is wrong! Operation failed! The black shadow was none other than Huang Qilin's subordinate, and at this time he knelt on one knee and gasped for breath rapidly.

Huang Qilin was shocked: "Failed? How can it be! How could it fail! ”

The subordinate said: "Master, although Xiao Rui only has a dozen guards around him, they are not iron dragon rider guards, but masters in disguise, all of whom are sixth-grade and fifth-grade. Moreover, among the dead soldiers sent by the Qi State, some people suddenly rebelled, not only did not assassinate Xiao Rui, but also killed each other! The subordinates didn't dare to delay, for fear of revealing their whereabouts, so they quickly escaped. But one thing is for sure, so there are many bad luckies! ”

"How is that possible!"

Huang Qilin looked incredulous.

If it is said that Xiao Rui's personal guards around him have master disguises, this shows that Xiao Rui is very careful and can understand it, but there are spies among the dead soldiers of the Qin State, and they suddenly fight back, how is this possible!

These dead soldiers are from the Mo organization of the Qin State, which is the most trusted assassination organization of the Qin Emperor, and the assassination of Xiao Rui sent this time is also a specially selected elite, how can there be a rebellion?

Could it be that Xiao Rui's wrist was so terrifying that he actually stretched his hand into the ink tissue, how could this be possible!

"Damn! Not good! ”

Suddenly, Huang Qilin's body trembled, and he immediately realized something even more dangerous!

Since the dead will rebel, doesn't it mean that Xiao Rui has long been aware of all this, so he will bring a master to the Meng Mansion and deliberately plan it!

Wasn't all this planned by Xiao Rui known, and the purpose of his plan was very simple, that is, to find himself!

Thinking of this, Huang Qilin looked at his subordinates and immediately asked, "Are you sure that no one is following you when you come back?" ”

The subordinate nodded and said, "The subordinate is very careful to make sure that no one is following, unless the other party is a master of the masters!" ”

Huang Qilin immediately got up and walked towards the door, he was going to leave here, he was afraid that his whereabouts had been revealed.

He walked out of the house and walked through the yard, and immediately opened the door of the house, but after the door of the house was opened, there was a thin man standing outside the door, which frightened Huang Qilin stunned there.

The thin man's voice was very sharp, and he said with a smile: "British duke, you make our family easy to find!" ”

Huang Qilin saw through the moonlight the face and clothes of the thin man, and it was Wang Dazhi, the eunuch with the palm print of the palace and the province!

Huang Qilin took a deep breath, and his whereabouts were indeed revealed. thought that he was an interlocking assassination plan, but he was used by Xiao Rui to track him, and he successfully found himself, and he completely lost this time.

The subordinates who followed Huang Qilin suddenly made a move, because he found that there was only this one eunuch in front of the door, and he could escape by killing him.

So this person burst out and killed, and the steel knife in his hand went straight into Wang Dazhi's heart.

In the face of the assassination steel knife, Wang Dazhi narrowed his eyes, did not retreat and counterattacked, his thin body suddenly burst out with terrifying speed, dodged directly, and turned into an eagle claw with his left hand, directly grabbed this person's throat, and crushed his throat as soon as he used his strength.

Blood flowed down Wang Dazhi's arm, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the body out.

"British duke, come with us! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting. Wang Dazhi said with a smile.

As the person in charge of Emperor Xia's establishment of the West Factory, Wang Dazhi is a eunuch, yes, but he is also a master with a six-grade realm of cultivation!

is also one of the three masters around Emperor Xia, Xiao Rui only learned about his strength this year.
