Chapter 32: Assassination
"Master of the house, can you see Chincha-sama when you talk about cigarettes?" A white-haired old man asked worriedly, as the highest-ranking deacon in the family, Yue Lianye couldn't help but think about the future of the younger generation. If it weren't for the last resort, they wouldn't want to pay such a high price, but if the name is not right, it will not be good, and only with the help of the reputation of the Qincha will the arrogance of the Luo family be suppressed.
"Qiyan, this child, is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, and since she was a child, I raised her as a boy, and there is no problem with her loyalty to the family. Under the nest, Ann has finished her eggs, how can she not understand this truth, although the sixth uncle can rest assured, I have given her the bottom line, and she will be able to grasp the proportions of the smoke, and the seventh highness does not have a strong backup, so we are his best choice. Yue Ming Zhong's blazing eyes shone with confidence, "My Yue family has passed down to me, and I am already the eighth generation, and I will never be so depressed or perish!" ”
The rest of the deacons glanced at each other, they didn't have such great confidence as the head of the family, if the foundation of the Yue family for hundreds of years was defeated in their hands, it would not only be a great blow to the ancestors and ancestors, but also a great blow to the juniors of the family, and they had to be cautious. However, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and since the head of the family has made up his mind, they can only obey.
"Enlighten the family master!" The children of the Yue clan outside the door reported loudly, "The third lady is smoking and asking to see you." ”
Yue Mingzhong was overjoyed, he didn't expect his granddaughter to come back so soon, after all, it was not so simple to see Lord Qincha. And when he was about to smoke, he made it clear that if there was no result, he would never step into the house. "Quick!" Although he has great confidence in his granddaughter, he is still uneasy, if there is a case, unless he and the Luo family are broken, the Yue family will really have no future.
"I've seen the head of the house and the deacons." The more smoke rose and bowed down, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
Each of the deacons had a bad feeling in their hearts, could something had gone wrong? Yue Mingzhong couldn't help but feel anxious, but as the head of the family, he couldn't help but pretend to be calm, "Get up, smoke, how are things going?" Have you seen the Seventh Highness? ”
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, but they heard the smoke and said indifferently: "Please rest assured, you are lucky to be dishonored." ”
Yue Mingzhong couldn't help but be a little puzzled, his granddaughter's face was not only not happy, but full of sadness, could there be any surprises? He glanced at the others, and saw that they were all so immersed in joy that they seemed to have forgotten their doubts. "Smoke, you tell you the truth, what happened? You don't seem to be happy that you are out of trouble. ”
Yue Qiyan held back his tears and said in a low voice: "Qiqi family master, please forgive Qiyan for making his own opinion, in order to tie the Seventh Highness to the carriage of the Yue family, Qiyan has promised to marry His Highness as a concubine." ”
Rao is Yue Mingzhong boasted that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, and he was also surprised to hear his granddaughter's words. However, several deacons applauded, and Yue Lianye even paced excitedly, "Smoke, your trick is really good, my daughter of the Yue family, once she marries into the palace, the Yue family will truly become a royal in-law, see how the Luo family still dares?" ”
"Smoke, how could you come up with such a quid pro quo?" Yue Mingzhong's face was covered with gloom, "Do you know that even if you marry His Royal Highness the Seventh, it is quite difficult to get a name, not to mention what kind of identity my Yue family has in Fujian, if you let you be a concubine, wouldn't it make people laugh!" Unless it's the main room, how can I be worthy of the first talented girl in my Yue family! "The sound of the bell is getting louder and louder.
"Grandpa!" Yue Qiyan suddenly changed his name, "Qiyan is self-aware, my father does not have an official title, and I am just an accessory, a link between the family and His Royal Highness the Seventh, and it doesn't matter what the title is." No matter how strong the Yue family is in Fujian, can it compare to those dignitaries in the capital? ”
Yue Mingzhong shook his head helplessly, what he said just now was his biggest struggle for his granddaughter's happiness, as the head of the family, he should have blessed this political marriage. He looked into his eyes that were getting brighter, and for the first time he felt old.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Chen Lingcheng nudged Feng Wuxian who was in a daze, "Still thinking about that more smoke?" ”
"Old Chen!" Feng Wuxian was very dissatisfied, "You know what I'm thinking!" He glanced at the thoughtful Shi Jingqi again and lowered his head again. The words with Yue Qiyan made him truly realize his own insignificance and cowardice, and those who are in high positions cannot have the kindness of a woman, how awkward it sounds. He asked himself that he could deal with those dignitaries without hesitation, but for the people, he always wanted to protect them, maybe this was the after-effect of that rebirth. However, everything was ruthlessly shattered, that's right, his so-called Qincha, it is estimated that only one name can scare people to death, and the real strength may not be comparable to a county order who has been an official in Fujian for many years, with the deterrence of the Sword of the Son of Heaven, they may reluctantly obey themselves, but if they come to something dark, or the mysterious Luo family makes any waves, they are really powerless.
It's not that the Yue family chose themselves, but that they had to rely on the Yue family, this is the real situation! After all, what the Hai family needs is just a righteous name, and they lack all other conditions. The title of the prince can really be sold for a lot of money, he laughed self-deprecatingly.
"There are assassins!" One of the guards in front of him suddenly fell to the ground, but his exclamation immediately alerted everyone. There were not many people on the road, and when they saw these men dressed as outsiders, they hurriedly hugged their heads and ran away, and a few bold ones hid on the street corner, hoping to see the excitement. And the soldiers who were originally scattered in the distance wanted to get closer, but they were stopped by a gesture from Xu Chunshu, he was really afraid that these disguised soldiers would be mixed with assassins, and it would be a big trouble. Although there are not many people here, it must not be difficult to deal with a few ordinary assassins.
The Immortal protected Feng Wuxian for the first time, but Chen Lingcheng took a step back quietly, faintly including Feng Wuji's back into his scope of protection. Feng Wuxian looked at it intently, the guard who fell to the ground was sent to him by his father before, and his body was full of extremely strangely shaped hidden weapons. The thought of that thing silently piercing the soft armor of the body made Feng Wuji feel a little frightened.
"Man in the tree!" Out of nowhere, he said, "With the arrow!" ”
Xu Chunshu didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered an attack. Several of the guards moved extremely quickly, from the bow to the arrow, it was only a few breaths. Although they had never been in the military formation, they obviously knew something about crossbows, and a dozen arrows faintly shrouded all possible hiding points on the big tree.
Rui Guang knew that he was just a dead soldier from the moment he received the order, and when he saw so many arrows aimed at him, he smiled very happily, as long as he died, his wife and children in the family would be saved, he just hoped that his son would be able to gain fame and get ahead in the future, and he would not be a father who died in vain.
The rain of arrows in the first round did not hurt him in the slightest, but two of the arrows in the second round hit him. Rui Guang only felt a sharp pain in his waist and legs, and fell from the tree unconsciously. The moment he hit the ground, a sharp arrow pierced through his neck with unmistakable accuracy, killing him in an instant.
"Who is here!" Xu Chunshu shouted loudly, this arrow came suddenly, and it made him feel weird and inexplicable compared to the hidden weapon of the right talent, and his vigilance was even mentioned by twelve points.
"The people of the mountains and grasses, the name is not enough for outsiders! Say goodbye! The voice was erratic and vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Heighten your guard!" Xu Chunshu still didn't dare to relax, "Everyone gather in a circle and rush back to Xingyuan as soon as possible!" ”
"Uncle Jie?" Hiding under the eaves of a private house, Bishan called softly, "Shall we go down?" ”
Uncle Jie was silent, and lightly pointed down, motioning for Bi Shan to take a closer look.
Bishan glanced at the Dead with hatred, but what happened next surprised her. A faint cloud of smoke fell from the sky without warning, enveloping the group below, both in terms of timing and location. Everyone is in danger in the smoke, after all, it is difficult to tell whether the other party is friend or foe. Xu Chunshu was a little nervous, and just shouted, "Hold your breath, be careful of poison!" And he saw a sharp blade stabbing in the chest. Rao dodged very quickly, and his left arm was still pulled open by a long gap.
"Li Mackerel, what do you want to do?" Even though it was in the smoke, he recognized his colleague at a glance, "Are you crazy?" Assassinating the prince is a felony of the first degree! ”
Li Ma turned a deaf ear and killed him like a mad tiger, no one expected that his colleagues would attack him, and he was confused for a while, and even let him rush to Feng Wuxi. Of course, the level of Immortal Absolute was not so easy, and no one expected that he would be able to block all of Li Ma's attacks without moving half a step, firmly protecting Feng Wuxian behind him.
"Li Mackerel, stop! Think of your wife and children! Qiu Qingyuan shouted loudly, he was more anxious than anyone else now, if Feng Wuxian was injured by these new guards, God knows what the emperor would do with the others. Helplessly, many people rushed out one after another, and they actually entangled most of the guards who were ready to come forward to help. When Li Ma heard what he said just now, the offensive was even stronger, and his move was fatal, regardless of how many injuries he had suffered.
"Hell, don't delay, hurry up and deal with him!" Xu Chunshu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who it is, don't kill it!" At this moment, he didn't care if he had this permission.
There was a flash of sharpness in his eyes, and the murderous aura that had not been emitted with all his strength for a long time immediately pressed towards his opponent, and the sword in his hand was also discarded to the ground at will, and he attacked Li Ma with only his bare hands. A trace of unbearability flashed in Xu Chunshu's eyes, and then a sharp light flashed in his eyes, turned his head sideways, and slashed at the empty space on his side with a sword.
Blood flowed out of thin air in such a strange way, followed by a severed hand, and the guards who were used to seeing the killing scene were also shocked. As for the Immortal side, he didn't even look at it, his hands and fists and feet were sharper than swords, and Li Ma had completely turned into a bloody man.
Xu Chunshu snorted coldly, took off his hand and shot out the sword in his hand, only to hear a dull light call, and a figure gradually emerged, falling to the ground. "It's a ninja from the Wa Kingdom!" Several well-informed guards couldn't help but change color, and Feng Wuxian had never seen such a strange thing, and his fists were clenched tightly, showing the tension in his heart. Xu Chunshu was extremely knowledgeable, and after killing the ninja, he retreated to Feng Wuxi's side, and had already pulled out a rarely used saber.
The battle of the others has also ended, after all, the difference in strength is too large, because Xu Chunshu issued a killing order, and Feng Wuxian did not say that he wanted to live, so everyone was a killer, and more than a dozen assassins did not survive. And the methods of desperation are even more ferocious, after dozens of rounds, the wounds on Li Ma's body are countless, and even his fingers have been broken three times, which makes those guards fearful.
He hadn't seen blood for a long time, and the smell of blood just now made him particularly intoxicated, but he didn't want his posture to fall into the eyes of ordinary people, almost no different from the bloodthirsty maniac. However, he still wisely spared Li Mackerel's life, and this person was still disposed of by his master.
