Chapter 300: The First Wave of Assassinations
"Hehe, I see."
In the silent night, this inn is quietly located near the river, the night is dark, most of the diners have dispersed, and the tourists from other places have already gone upstairs to sleep, and in the hall on this floor, only this private room is still lit.
Dong sat there calmly, with a faint wry smile on his face, but after half a day, he just sat like that and didn't say anything.
Looking at Dong Ping quietly, Wu Sheng didn't speak, but there was a hint of firmness and composure in his eyes.
"Sure enough, it's Gao Yu again."
With his right hand on the table, his fist was almost clenched tightly, Dong Ping's gloomy eyes had a hint of anger in it, and he sneered: "I originally thought that Cheng Wanli did it, but I didn't expect him to be the one behind the scenes!"
"Yes, he came to the party and brought the forged troop transfer order to Marshal Dong, who was still recuperating from his injuries, and although the marshal was suspicious, he still went to the hinterland of Western Xia as mentioned in the order."
"The marshal who should have recuperated appeared in the rear of the Western Xia army, what would the emperor think, plus Gao Yu and Tong Guan framed ......"
He said in a low tone, but Wu Sheng sat up straight and spoke with a serious expression: "I'm telling you this, not just to ask you to go to the emperor for revenge, not just to overthrow this regime, do you know what my purpose is?"
Dong Ping's brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything, just the corners of his eyes moved.
"Gao Yu, you must not mess with it alone." Wu Sheng's tone was completely gloomy: "This person's strength is not something you can imagine, have you ever heard of the "Three Great Swords of the Ancients?"
"Are you talking about "Hanguang", "Night Practice", and "Chengying"?" Dong Ping said in a deep voice: "It seems that Xiaolian is in Gao Yu's hands, what I said is good, right?"
"Exactly."
Standing up slowly, Wu Sheng walked to the window, looked at the night outside, put his hands behind his back and said, "Moreover, he is not called Gao Yu, his real name is Gao Li."
"What?!"
In an instant, Dong Ping almost shouted and stood up suddenly.
I don't blame him for making a fuss, it's really, it's so shocking.
That Gao Li, isn't he a peerless master who died twenty years ago, but he has already stood at the top of the world at the age of sixteen, Dong Ping recalled in his heart, almost in a cold sweat.
At that time, he didn't have any strange swords, and now he has the "Night Training", the first of the three famous swords of ancient times, in his hand, and his strength is probably still above Wang Chongyang and Chen Xizhen!
It is said that this night practice "?? In addition to being covered with blood, the naked eye cannot see its traces, and the blade structure is specially designed for bloodletting, breaking people's meridians and internal organs, which can be described as domineering and bloodthirsty! Dong Ping thought to himself in his heart, but he only sneered secretly.
What kind of night training sword, according to the information I have seen in the fragments of the mountains and seas before, this is just one of the scientific and technological products of the last civilization era, a sharp blade made of "titanium steel".
This ore, because of its light transmittance and molecular structure, is indeed unobservable by the naked eye at night without sunlight, and is not a miracle.
As for the degree of solidity, in this world, apart from the other two swords and the Kunwu sword, it is estimated that only the Cold Star Meteorite can be compared.
Hehe, it seems that this world has completely become a parallel world, and it has nothing to do with that era in history, Dong Ping smiled in his heart, even this Gao Yu is not the Gao Taiwei in the Water Margin at all, he is just a person named Gao Li.
That's all.
has nothing to do with Gao Yu in the Water Margin.
However, Dong Ping quickly calmed down, he looked at Wu Sheng's back, took a deep breath, and then said lightly: "So, how did you know about this?"
Speaking of this, Dong Ping's brows also frowned, Gao Yu's true identity, he must hide it, with his character, it is estimated that even his relatives will not tell him easily.
So, how did this Wu Sheng know?
Looking at this Wu Sheng with gloomy eyes, Dong Ping was already secretly on guard in his heart, just staring at him motionless.
Unexpectedly, Wu Sheng just looked up to the sky and laughed.
Soon, he stopped.
"Hehe, that's because I gave everything I had to seek the truth and seek justice for the marshal."
"Thorn-"
Throwing his clothes away, Wu Sheng looked at the front with a determined gaze and did not move, but his figure stood there like an iron tower.
His eyes trembled suddenly, Dong Ping looked at Wu Sheng, his eyes changed instantly, and the defense in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Wu Sheng's right arm is actually a prosthetic arm mixed with wood and machinery, and his right leg is only supported by a wooden stick.
Not only that, but the meridians in his entire back, everywhere, and in every joint part of his body had turned purple-red or swollen.
Turning around slowly, Wu Sheng still didn't say anything, but Dong Ping saw it clearly, and his front was the same.
This person's whole body was covered with purple red, as well as countless scars.
"Fifteen years ago, in order to avenge the marshal, I sneaked into Gao Yu's mansion and fought to the death with them.
Talking lightly, he walked to the chair and sat down, Wu Sheng put on his clothes, put his hand on the table and just smiled bitterly: "I was already like ashes, as long as I lived, what is the way of this drowsy world, let him go."
Dong Ping stared at the middle-aged man silently, the years did not leave too many traces on his face, but there was a thick decadence in his eyes.
The oil lamp in the room was reflected on his face, as if it evoked countless memories, Wu Sheng smiled, picked up the bowl of wine on the table with his left arm and drank it all.
"Until today, I found you, and you really lived up to the reputation of the sect master, oh no, I should say the marshal."
As if remembering something, Wu Sheng suddenly laughed, he looked at Dong Ping and said: "You have done a good job, our generation has withdrawn from this stage, now is your era, with your ability, I believe you will be able to change the world and reach the top."
"Hehe, Uncle Wu, you look down on me."
Sitting down with a smile, Dong Ping's lightly clenched fist rested on the table, he shook his head slightly and said: "Anyway, whether I am the royal blood of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or the bloodline of the emperor, I am just Dong Ping, the king of the Great Qi Kingdom, that's all."
"And those who hinder us, I will solve it, as for what rules the world, I am just for myself, in order to carry forward the Dong family, not to restore the country as a descendant of the Great Zhou."
Standing up suddenly, Dong Ping looked at the night outside the window, and just sneered: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, this time, I will send them all to hell with my own hands, this era will be created by me!"
The night wind outside the house suddenly became stronger, the howling wind swept by, and even the wine bottle on the table was shattered to the ground, Dong Ping's hair had already been scattered, and his long hair blocked his vision and heroic face, and he didn't care.
Wu Sheng looked at Dong Ping silently, and in his eyes, he seemed to see a kind of faith.
One, unspoken faith, another, steadfast spirit.
For a moment, Wu Lin was also in a trance, he only felt as if he had seen a familiar figure.
That, the hero he has followed since he was fifteen years old, the hero for whom he is loyal.
"You're right, I'm sure the marshal thinks so too." Wu Sheng said with a smile: "No matter what the Great Zhou royal family is, whether it is the Iron Eagle Sect, those are all in the past, and now, with you to inherit your father's career, I will be at ease."
"Okay, let's not talk about that today." Dong Ping smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Uncle Wu, won't you follow me?"
"No, I'm just going to be so comfortable." Wu Sheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I have now seen through the world, I just want to be an ordinary person, I can see you carry forward the spirit of the marshal and change the way of the world, this is enough."
"Well, I respect the opinions of my predecessors." Dong Ping nodded, clasped his hands into fists and said, "It's late today, I'll go first."
After Dong Ping finished speaking, Wu Sheng just nodded slightly, and Dong Ping went upstairs and rested.
And Wu Sheng walked to the window again, feeling a slight hint of hot wind blowing by, he just shook his head, and then laughed loudly.
It seems to be sighing something, and it seems to be catharsis.
It seems to be exciting, why.
Finally, he stopped and looked calmly out the window at the night.
A smile gradually spread from the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Marshal, you can rest in peace, the evildoers will eventually be doomed, and now, your descendants are about to open a new era, that is ......"
Speaking of this, Wu Sheng couldn't control it anymore, even if he was a steely man, he was still in tears at this moment, and he said tremblingly: "That...... That's you...... And we...... The era of lifelong pursuit......"
Soon, his expression changed again, and his voice became more and more determined.
"However, it doesn't matter, this time, no one can stop the arrival of this era, even that Gao Li, can only be reduced to the dust of history!"
The next day, early in the morning.
Chu Jianglou said that he was going to buy horses outside the city, so Dong Ping went to the city alone.
As for Wu Sheng, he still left alone, Dong Ping gave him silver yesterday, but he resolutely refused, Dong Ping thought about it, and rushed out early in the morning to exchange for the silver ticket, which was directly stuffed into the inner seam of his hat.
No matter what, I have to find the red leaf grass and brass today, Dong Ping thought to himself, and even the other people on the road didn't pay attention.
An Daoquan's Qing Lingyin and Ling Zhen's vehicle-mounted artillery can be said to be the most important at present, and they are also the basis for Dong Ping to be proud of the world.
And now the basic raw materials for these two things are almost exhausted.
If Qinglingyin wants to mass-produce and improve the healing ability of the troops, he can only use red leaf grass to make drugs with slightly less effective effects, and the vehicle-mounted artillery must be replaced with a brass base due to the need to adapt to mountain combat.
Otherwise, if you bump on the mountain and walk for three or two days, the base will have to be scrapped directly, and with one shot, this cannon can directly explode into pieces.
This is also the second important reason why Dong Ping came to the party this time.
His eyes surveyed the nearby crowd, Dong Ping cautiously observed the neighborhood, trying to find some iron-striking masters and miracle doctors.
However, the results were very disappointing for him.
After a morning, he walked almost all over the party city, but found nothing.
The people on this street are quite martial, not only do a lot of business, but almost every man has a waist knife and a sword, and many people can see a murderous aura on their faces.
Dong Ping looked nearby, and among these passers-by, even teenagers were carrying swords.
These people are really, Dong Ping couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and he didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Dong Ping stopped.
He seemed to hear something.
The alley I passed by just now seemed to have some screams coming from inside, as well as a few figures flying by.
With his brows furrowed, Dong Ping hesitated for a moment, and then prepared to continue walking forward, ignoring these things.
"Han dog, you wild seed without a father, you dare to say no words in front of your grandfather, hurry up and hand over all the money!"
In an instant, Dong Ping stopped.
His feet hung in the air, and it took me an unknown amount of time before he let them go.
Turning around slowly, Dong Ping's body seemed to have a trace of invisible murderous aura.
When he looked in that direction, he couldn't see anything in his eyes.
All that was left was a trace of the furious killing aura.
And at this time, inside the alley.
"Master...... Grandpa, spare me! ”
A short man lay on the ground, looking at the strong men in front of him with a painful expression, but there was not a trace of scar on his body.
"Dreaming!"
A leading strong man shouted angrily: "If you don't pay today, the grandfathers will definitely tell you to peel off your skin!"
However, instead of looking at the man on the ground, his eyes looked around.
Suddenly, he rolled nearby, and in the blink of an eye, he was dozens of feet away.
"You ......"
Just as he was about to ask him what was wrong, the other strong men were stunned by what was in front of them.
Almost instantly, the position he had just stood in was now one more person.
One, a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
And the bluestone slab had completely shattered into powder with a cracking sound.
"Goo-"
The others looked at the young man, almost swallowing their saliva, looking at this strength and speed, if it was a little slower just now, it would probably be the body of the strong man who burst open.
"I'll give you one last chance, die in front of me, or I'll do it!" The young man's eyes looked at everyone gloomily, and although he stood there quietly, the shattered ground under his feet and the murderous aura emanating from his body all told everyone how terrifying his power was.
However, the leading strong man just strode over, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Yes, yes, Dong Ping, you are really powerful, if it were me Zhang Tianping who was here alone, I would never dare to face you."
"It turns out that you are Zhang Dashao, and you put such a trap to lure me in, you know my character quite well." Dong Ping sneered: "It's not ......"
"So, you want to face me now." Dong Ping looked at him with gloomy eyes, but his voice seemed to have a chill in the abyss of hell: "Single-handedly, or together?"
"No, no, no, it's not for me to deal with you."
Zhang Tianping just laughed: "Dong Ping, I, Zhang Tianping, am also a dignified eight-foot man, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, I am far from being your opponent, I still understand this."
"I'm not like your previous opponents, who would be stupid enough to compete or fight with you." Zhang Tianping said, just sneering: "In my eyes, as long as you win, no matter what, it's no problem."
"What is the difference between you saying so much and not saying it." Dong Ping clasped his hands in front of his chest and said in a low tone: "I don't know where you have read, for the sake of you knowing me so well, I will remind you one last time."
"If I don't make a choice, I'll do it."
After saying this, Dong Ping stopped making a sound, he just quietly looked at the people in front of him, surrounding him.
However, Zhang Tianping and the strong men nearby, including the man on the ground, all looked up to the sky and laughed.
Suddenly, someone sensed something was wrong.
A sound of wind had come to his pupils.
And he was still laughing maniacally, and he didn't have time to react.
I don't know why, obviously he has the confidence to win, but he still feels a fear from the depths of his soul in this attack.
In the next second, there will be one more corpse here.
However, something happened suddenly.
"Qiang-sting!"
The violent sound of metal collision and friction resounded in the sky, and almost instantly, Dong Ping realized it.
In front of me, there was one more person.
One, the same one who was resisting him with his fist armor.
But within a second, Dong Ping had already sensed that this person's strength was on par with himself.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dong Ping stepped on the nearby wall, and the whole person jumped in the air, rolled in the air, and came behind that person.
However, Dong Ping's goal is not his.
"You...... You! ”
Zhang Tianping said tremblingly, he could only see that a cold light, with Dong Ping's ghostly figure, was rapidly approaching his pupils!
However, at the last moment, Dong Ping stopped.
His fist stopped a few steps in front of Zhang Tianping's body and hung in the air.
It's not that Dong Ping has relented.
In front of him was Wu Sheng.
To be precise, it was Wu Sheng who was tied up and stained with blood all over his body.
"As I said, the purpose of war is to win, and in order to win, it is natural to do everything you can."
I don't know when, the person who had fought with Dong Ping for a short time just now had already come to Dong Ping, and pushed away Zhang Tianping, who was panicked, he just sneered: "Dong Ping, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, don't come unharmed!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Dong Ping had already recovered his posture of holding his hands in front of his chest, he looked at Wu Sheng, who was speechless on the ground, and looked at the person with cold eyes, and said in a low tone: "However, since you are here today, don't think about leaving, Chen Xizhen."
"Hehe, it's a doll." Chen Xizhen smiled and said: "I said that in war, as long as it is for victory, any means are indispensable, and for this, those who achieve great things will do whatever it takes!"
"With you today, do you think you're still qualified to say such things? What right do you have to be arrogant in front of me?! Chen Xizhen said, waved his hand violently and shouted: "Come out, welcome guests!"
"Boom Boom ......"
In an instant, countless sounds came from all directions, some climbed over the wall, some broke through the doors of houses in nearby alleys, and some came out of the underground secret passages.
There are even those who break through the wall directly from outside the wall.
But in the blink of an eye, more than fifty people have completely filled the alley.
Dong Ping glanced at it casually, these people were dressed in black robes and holding sharp blades, and they could see at a glance that their whole bodies were equipped with meteoric iron armor, which could be described as the pinnacle of hand-to-hand combat.
"Looks like you're ready to die." Chen Xizhen saw that Dong Ping didn't say a word, just stared at him silently, and he didn't get angry, he just smiled and said: "Dong Ping, if you want to blame, blame you for offending Captain Gao, and dare to destroy my shadow sky, when you go to the underworld, you must figure it out, you have offended our people, but even Lord Yama doesn't dare to accept it!"
Those shadow killers all had fierce looks on their faces, staring at Dong Ping deadly, eager to give the order quickly, so that Dong Ping, the person who killed their brother, could be directly torn to pieces.
In fact, this time, under the command of Gao Yu and Murong Fu, the first wave of assassinations after the change was already fully prepared, and it was launched in Shandong and Shangdang at the same time.
This time, they can be said to have gone all out, not only dispatching all the elites of Shadow Sky, but also equipped with a full set of meteorite weapons and armor, as well as all the highest-tech products, with the aim of killing Dong Ping in one fell swoop.
And this alley, far from the central street, and the noise outside, is extremely noisy, which can be described as an excellent location for assassination.
What's more, the official mansion has already been dealt with by the Zhang family.
However, Dong Ping looked at this group of people who were glaring at him, and then at Zhang Tianping, who didn't dare to make a sound, but he just laughed loudly: "Then, you can go to the underworld for me, Lord Yan won't accept me, and I'm quite comfortable on it."
"Dong Ping, for the sake of our opponents for so many years, I will ask you one last question, let you live one more time." Chen Xizhen's eyes sank completely, and he said in a calm tone: "Before you die, do you have anything else to say?"
"This sentence will be returned to you as it is." Dong Ping also looked at Chen Xizhen with gloomy eyes.
"Lord Chen, don't delay, kill Dong Ping quickly!" Zhang Tianping also pretended to be bold, stepped forward and sneered: "This person is very cunning, only when I see his head fall to the ground, can I feel at ease!"
Unexpectedly, Dong Ping was not angry at all, he just smiled and said: "To be honest, I'm a little curious, yesterday on the street, your thugs ran away when they saw me, and if you kill me now, aren't you afraid that some kind of appeasement will hold you responsible?"
"Fart!" Zhang Tianping shouted angrily: "Dong Ping, you don't have to be arrogant here, this time you are already dead, no one can save you, don't have any strange ideas!"
"Hehe, I really doubt that you are illiterate and can't even understand other people's words." Dong Ping said with a smile: "What I asked is whether you are afraid of the pacification envoy, and besides, yesterday, I seem to have heard rumors from the common people that your thugs have been put into the prison cell by the pacification envoy."
"Dong Ping, don't talk nonsense there, lie to yourself." Zhang Tianping looked at Dong Ping and just sneered: "Let me tell you, as long as I say that you are a thief, the appeasement envoy will definitely not suspect that our Zhang family is the overlord in the whole Shanxi, who dares to say a word!"
"Oh, really?" Dong Ping clasped his hands in front of his chest and just looked at him with a smile on his face.
And those shadow killers couldn't hold it back, they couldn't wait to kill Dong Ping now, and then break him into thousands of pieces.
But because of the strict military discipline, in the absence of orders, they just had a fire in their hearts, but not a single one of them moved.
Chen Xizhen was annoyed, he grabbed Zhang Tianping's leg and kicked it to the side, and took a few steps forward.
He looked at Dong Ping, and just sneered: "Dong Ping, I will send you a word in the end, with me Chen Xizhen here, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, he has to concede three points, let alone a mere appeasement!"
After speaking, Chen Xizhen raised his head suddenly, raised his right arm high in the air, and then raised it violently, and yelled at the surroundings: "Do it, break Dong Ping's bones and scatter ashes!"
However, a voice from a distance and his command sounded almost exactly at the same time, even muffling his voice.
"Report, Yue An's envoy has arrived, and he has now entered the city gate, please go to the Taishou Mansion with all the officials and families!"
