Chapter 54: Opinions Differ
At this time, in the small city near Langya City, a swordsman was wearing a cloak and walking on the road, his pace was very fast, as if he was in a hurry, and he was in a hurry along the way.
He suddenly heard a few passers-by next to him whispering there, like saying that there was a master duel in Langya City, the scene was extremely grand, saying that there was a white pillar soaring into the sky, and he faintly saw a dragon soaring down into the sky. What else do you say that the stars fell into the world, and there was a huge explosion, and it is said that there was a super crater at the scene, which was originally a forest, but after a duel between the two masters, it has become a barrenness.
The swordsman couldn't help but stand still, listening intently, and at this time, he looked at Zhong Ren.
Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he did not succeed in inviting the Sword Pavilion in the Central Plains, he listened to the general situation and then hurriedly walked forward, noon had arrived, he found a tavern at random, and filled his hunger there. After eating, I suddenly heard someone at the next table saying in a colorful voice: "Do you know that something big happened in Langya!" A top assassin infiltrated the palace to assassinate King Yue! Later, after failing to scatter and flee, the general Li Ran led his troops out of the city to capture the assassins. ”
A friend of wine and meat next to him said in surprise: "I seem to have heard about this, it seems that the prime minister blocked a sword for King Yue, and now life and death are uncertain." ”
At this time, a little second who served wine and food turned his head and said: "I have heard a lot about this, I see that you just don't know, this time the assassin Gen is not going to the king of Yue, it seems to say that a few ministers of our Yue country have annoyed some forces in other countries, and then others will take money to invite those assassins to kill those old ministers in the palace."
And you said Prime Minister, right? I told you that I was also killed, it seems that I was just trying to block the sword for King Yue! ”
Bang bang!
On the side, Zhong Ren, who was drinking and eating, directly put the wine table on the table, turned his head and said, "When did this happen?" ”
The little second and the people at the next table were taken aback, and the little second said hesitantly: "This guest officer, this incident happened yesterday, and the news came here this morning." ”
Zhong Renteng stood up suddenly, walked to the adjacent table, stared at the guests who were eating wine and meat, and said, "What else do you know? I came back to Yue from the Song Kingdom, and some events during this period are unknown, so I hope you will tell me. ”
A man is like gossiping, saying, "This is complicated. Two major events happened in Langya City yesterday. First of all, the duel between two peerless masters, that battle was simply earth-shattering, and there was no such great momentum since Pangu opened the world.
It is said that some onlookers present could not see the faces of the two masters clearly, only to see that they fought inextricably, hitting the heavens and the earth, and they could do anything. Some people also say that the two masters fought to the death, and tried their best to put each other to death, and in the end, the two people were covered in bruises, and it is said that the scene was sprinkled with blood! It was a horrible scene! ”
Another person also said with great interest: "It's those two masters, they are simply invincible, they said that the sword qi used made the heavens and the earth lose color, and the dark clouds rolled, and it was a sunny day at that time." Attracting the energy of heaven and earth and changing natural changes can only be done by the famous swords on the Tianxuanzi Sword Spectrum.
Some experts analyzed, why did the two top swordsmen fight each other? Some people speculate that the legendary Chiyou Sword was born, and some people saw the red light rushing into the sky, the black fog filled, and the wind and black thunder descended. The Xuanyuan Sword who holds the first place in the Tianxuanzi Sword Spectrum, the one who is called the first swordsman in the world by the world, the hero who was named Huaxia Yu by the Zhou royal family, and the king who is extremely respected by the swordsmen in the world, Qin Hao!
A few days ago, an insider revealed that they saw Qin Hao near Langya City, and it is said that there was also news from King Zhou's side, saying that King Zhou had decreed that Qin Hao, the world's number one swordsman, would come here to subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”
These words immediately attracted the enthusiasm of all the diners present, and they gathered together, and one of them slapped his thigh and said: "It seems that this is indeed the case, before the decisive battle, there was a change in heaven and earth." That white pillar is to suppress the Chiyou Sword, it has been rumored that the Chiyou Sword is extremely vicious, as soon as he is born, he will set off a bloody storm, ordinary people will be blind if they look at it from a distance.
The little stars falling to the ground in the back are our hero Qin Hao sealing the Chiyou Sword! The situation was indescribable! ”
"Really!"
"How can what others say to me different from you?"
"No, this Chiyou Sword was really born?"
"No, it's not that the Chiyou sword can't be looked at directly, otherwise you will be blind, how do those people see it?"
………
For a while, the diners in the restaurant suddenly sat together, and the noise was extremely loud, they were desperately arguing, expressing their opinions, and they all thought that what they had heard was correct, and they were arguing and arguing, and they almost fought.
Zhong Ren's face darkened, he didn't finish the meal, he directly put down the silver two and left, and after leaving the store, he scolded Lie Lie and said: "This idiot, if you really believe everything, you can't do anything, you will spread rumors." This group of people still believe in Chi You Sword to this day? Sure enough, it's a person who hasn't read a book, but I don't know that Chi You doesn't use a sword! Where did the Chiyou Sword come from?
I really think that there is a Xuanyuan Sword in the world, so I have to make a Chiyou Sword and entertain yourself, you guys. Why did this Qin Hao come all the way to Yueguo? It seems that the dueling master is probably someone else. I just don't know if it's true that there are assassins in the palace of the Yue Kingdom? I also have to hurry back to Langya. ”
Along the way, asking around, asking around, and basically the focus of this group of ordinary people was obviously not on the matter of the assassins appearing in the Yue King's Palace, their focus was all noticed, the earth-shattering battle between the two peerless masters, and the rumors about the Chiyou Sword intensified, as if it was true.
Just as Zhong Ren was walking, he suddenly bumped into a strange-looking person, wearing the clothes of a dusty servant, living with a cane, his face looked a little old, and he didn't know the specific age, before he was smiling, knocked on the bamboo pole in his hand, and stepped forward and said directly to Zhong Ren: "This swordsman, my name is Zhu Lao, and I am a strange man who walks the rivers and lakes. I may be able to solve your worries below. ”
Zhong Ren was in no mood to deal with this strange person, so he just said casually: "I heard that some big things happened in Langya City, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”
This bamboo old man had an exaggerated expression, stretched out his hand and said: "Of course I know about this matter, this swordsman doesn't know anything, my Zhu Lao is a know-it-all on the rivers and lakes!" Whatever happens, there is nothing that I don't know.
The matter of the Yue court is complicated, and the matter of the killing of the minister of the Yue State that has been circulated among the people is indeed true. The Prime Minister also died because of this, and in my opinion, the king of Yue will not live for two days, and the news will be announced. When the time comes, it will be buried with the courtesy of the ministers, this group of assassinated ministers. ”
"What! What you say is true, sir. Zhong Ren still can't believe it, he has been doing things for King Yue, their plan in the past few months has always been for the power of the prime minister, and he was assassinated and killed, including some other old ministers, who would do such a thing? The power of King Yiyue could never be done by him, there must be someone else. After thinking about it, I must return to Langya earlier.
Zhong Ren clasped his hands into fists, thanked him and said, "Thank you, old man, I will retire below." Before he finished speaking, his body ran like the wind, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Zhu Lao's eyes widened, he was a little angry, knocked on his bamboo pole, and said, "Who is it?" If you don't give money when you get the news, why are people so rampant now? Don't let me meet you! He stomped his foot vigorously, and finally walked away with a curse.
After a day's rest, King Yue Bushou could be regarded as recognizing some facts, and he convened his ministers and officials to discuss the next matter.
He sat on the throne, looking down on the courtiers at his feet, and for the first time he felt a great responsibility and mission, he had only watched the group of people below discuss in this position, and then decided by himself. And now it is completely different, this time he stood up abnormally and shouted loudly: "The courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, the Prime Minister and many old ministers, were killed by assassins, we are grieved, I am the overlord of the world, such a thing happened in my dignified capital of Yueguo, so humiliating, what do you think?" ”
One of the courtiers stood up and said, "Hang the assassins to avenge the prime minister, and arrest the rebels behind the assassins and bring them to justice." ”
A minister named Gao Zhi rushed all the way to Langya City and participated in this court politics: "King Yue, the death of the prime minister, we are guilty, if we can't kill the assassin, we can be dismissed from the official position and demoted to a concubine." The prime minister has done his best for the government, and these pillars of the country have been assassinated, and as a courtier, I can't bear it. ”
The general Li Ran was also above the court at this time, and the responsibility on his body was the heaviest now, he said: "King Yue chased and killed the assassins, and I have sent all the men and horses to believe that there will be an answer soon." ”
King Yue was not long, sighing heavily on the throne, he looked back at Wei Ziheng beside him, and said softly: "Read it!" ”
Wei Ziheng took over some important administrative matters related to the Yue king's side today, including discussions and readings, and the former official who served as the reading was so frightened during the assassination that he fell to his death from the top of the steps.
Wei Ziheng, with the help of some other ministers this morning, hurriedly learned the relevant etiquette, and then hurriedly carried out the morning court, he was a little nervous, but the pace was still very steady. He stepped forward and took two steps, first saluted, and then opened the bamboo slip and read: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, assassins are rampant, and the old minister is assassinated. Now it has been ascertained that the perpetrator is the notorious night ghost on the rivers and lakes! However, the employer behind it has so far had no clues.
At the same time, in this assassination incident, the black tiger rushed to the forefront, and when the female assassin appeared, he led the gang to enter Langya City to guard King Yue. The general of the Praetorian Guard reacted quickly, defused the crisis many times, and at the same time transferred people to a moderate degree, but now he is seriously wounded, lying on the sickbed, and has not been able to sit up. Then there was the general Li Ran, who mobilized the guards in the city and the Vietnamese army outside the city, actively surrounded the assassins, and successfully killed some Night Phantom killers.
These three should be rewarded, and they hope that the ministers will encourage each other and share their worries for the king of Yue. ”
As soon as the words fell, the ministers bowed down.
Wei Ziheng silently put away the bamboo slips, retreated to King Yue's side, and thought in his heart: According to the arrangement of King Yue's Eight Swords, they can't announce it to the world now, King Yue also actively cooperated, and at the same time, there was nothing to mention about the top masters of Night Sleep, for fear that it would cause some unnecessary panic and uproar.
After all, the names of those killers are too loud, although the hindsight analysis has been obtained, the real meaning of the appearance of the Quartet Shadow Ghost is to deal with the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, and the appearance of the two divine swords of the Emperor is just to deal with the potential threat hidden in the palace of the Yue Kingdom, such as the Black Tiger and himself. And the only ones who really carry out the assassination mission are those killers of the Night Phantom.
Zaochao dealt with some daily problems, and also made some arrangements for the pursuit of assassins, which seemed to be more detailed. With a sigh from King Yue, the ministers slowly withdrew from the palace. Wei Ziheng held the bamboo slip in his hand, and he also sighed at this time.
