Chapter Seventy-Nine: Extinguishing the Mouth

"It's a hundred miles and no one is left!" Wei Ziyang was also secretly surprised when he saw that this Mei Jingting was just a sword, and he knocked this martial arts assassin to the ground. You know, he witnessed it in the Red Mansion Fang, this big man from outside the Saiwai and Yongjin, the guard leader of the King of Xiang, have been on dozens of rounds, and they are indeed two hits.

But it is such a character who Yongjin can't help it, and at this time he is kneeling on the ground in pain, unable to move at all, which has to make people admire the superb swordsmanship of Namei Jingting.

After Mei Jingting stabbed the assassin, his brows furrowed, and he slowly walked towards the assassin, and when he got closer, he squatted down, stared into the assassin's eyes and asked, "Who are you?" Who instructed him to assassinate King Xiang? ”

When Wei Ziyang heard this, he had a strange look on his face and disappeared in a flash.

The assassin outside the Saiwai heard Mei Jingting's questioning at this time, although he was still in severe pain, but a pair of eyes glanced up at Mei Jingting coldly, revealing a very disdainful look, and then tilted his head aside, as if he didn't intend to tell the truth.

Mei Jingting looked at it and chuckled: "This is still a hard bone." ”

After a pause, he shouted to the assassin: "I have a thousand ways to make you unable to win, unable to die, and finally ask you again, whether you say or not, but don't toast or not eat and drink!" ”

The Assassin remained silent, as if he had made up his mind not to confess to the people behind the scenes.

Wei Ziyang saw the appearance of this assassin, and he already understood a little in his heart, this assassin must have been instructed by someone to come to assassinate King Xiang, if the assassin was really no one behind him, he would definitely not show such a strong appearance at this moment.

Thinking that someone was going to assassinate King Xiang, the first person that came to Wei Ziyang's mind was Yang Chen, the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, everyone knew that King Xiang and the prince were as powerful as fire and water, and they would not give in to each other.

First of all, King Xiang died in Ya County, not in Yecheng, so even if people know in their hearts that it was the prince who did it, there will be no evidence to prove that King Xiang was really killed by the prince, which is at least to protect the reputation of the prince.

Moreover, after getting rid of King Xiang, the crown prince will have no competitors, so wouldn't it be a matter of time before he ascends to the throne of Wei.

Thinking about it left and right, Wei Ziyang always thought that this matter was very likely to be committed by the prince.

Seeing that Mei Jingting was still questioning the assassin, he groaned in his heart, and strode forward, ready to see what was going on.

Before he got closer, he heard a thunderous roar from the deep alley in the distance, and the voice was as loud and high-pitched as a lion.

"A bold thief, he dares to openly assassinate His Royal Highness King Xiang, and he will die quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, a man suddenly rushed out of the deep alley, the man was armed with a big knife and tiger head and leopard eyes, and after seeing the assassin kneeling on the ground, he rushed forward without saying a word, and swung the big knife at the assassin is head-on, as if he was going to chop the assassin to death.

Before the knife fell, he only heard a "choking" sound, but the big knife was blocked, and the man turned his head to see that it was Wei Ziyang holding a single knife in his hand, blocking his own killer blow.

The man frowned, and before he could speak, Wei Ziyang had already asked aloud: "General Zhou, what does this mean?" ”

It turned out that the person who rushed out of the deep alley was that Zhou Feng, and when Zhou Feng saw the assassin slipping away, he gave a few orders to Yongjin, and followed this Wei Ziyang to chase the assassin.

When Zhou Feng heard Wei Ziyang's question, his face turned pale: "Wei Ziyang, why are you blocking me?" Aren't you hunting down this assassin just now? ”

When Wei Ziyang heard this, he shook his head and said, "Chasing him doesn't mean that I want to kill him." ”

"If you don't kill him, you can see Wei Ziyang, he dared to openly assassinate in the hall, if these people don't kill him, will they still be able to stay?" When Zhou Feng heard Wei Ziyang's explanation, his brows tightened, and he asked in a cold voice.

"Could it be that you have nothing to do with this assassin?"

When Wei Ziyang heard this, his heart was already gradually cold, this Zhou Feng was so reckless not to say, and now he even suspected that he had colluded with this assassin, and immediately replied: "General Zhou said this, but slandered Wei?" ”

"Although this person assassinated His Royal Highness King Xiang, he must have been instructed by someone, and I left him alive to ask who the person behind it was, but General Zhou was unreasonable and openly slandered Wei, but it was really a big shelf." Wei Ziyang calmed down at this time and said lightly.

When Zhou Feng heard this, he didn't have anything to argue for a while, and after thinking about it, he snorted coldly, and then put away the knife.

Mei Jingting on that side saw the tense atmosphere, frowned and stepped forward, and said slowly to this Zhou Feng: "General Zhou, Jingting is polite." ”

Because you are in the night, so Zhou Feng didn't see the existence of this Mei Jingting at first, but now he listened to Mei Jingting's voice, but he turned his head and saw his figure clearly, his eyes rolled, and he chuckled: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Commander Mei." “

At this time, by this moonlight, he had already clearly seen that the assassin had a sword inserted under his left rib, and thought that this must be from Mei Jingting's handwriting, originally thought that this assassin was captured by Wei Ziyang, but he didn't expect that it would be Mei Jingting's doing.

Listening to Zhou Feng's chuckle, Mei Jingting smiled faintly, and then said, "I don't know General Zhou, do you know what crime this person has committed?" ”

"Openly assassinate His Highness, and he should be beheaded according to the law." When Zhou Feng heard this, he laughed disdainfully, and then said word by word.

"Oh? Since General Zhou knew that he had committed this crime, he should also know that this punishment should be a matter of Dali Temple, right? Mei Jingting said lightly.

"Uh...... This ......" Zhou Feng was stunned for a while when he heard this, obviously he was also stopped by these words.

"Since General Zhou knows that this matter should be taken care of by Dali Temple, but he is so reckless, and he dares to indiscriminately want to take this person's life in front of this commander, could it be that the general is ignoring my Great Wei law?" Mei Jingting said aggressively, but a pair of eyes became cold, looking straight at this Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng frowned tightly and thought for a while before saying, "I was in a hurry, seeing that this assassin dared to openly assassinate His Highness in front of me, it was also out of proportion, but it broke the rules of Dali Temple." ”

"Oh, I see." That Mei Jingting just glanced at Zhou Feng, and said in a meaningful tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he crouched down again, paused, and asked the assassin, "Let me ask again, who instructed you to carry out the assassination?" ”

At this time, the big man was already pale, as if he had lost his vitality, and large beads of sweat came out of his forehead, falling straight down one by one, and his expression was very painful, obviously made miserable by the sharp sword inserted in the ribs.

At this time, listening to Mei Jingting's words, he was still silent, as if he wanted to keep the secret in his heart to the end.

That Zhou Feng saw that this assassin was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and his heart suddenly became angry, so he couldn't help but walk forward, raising his big hand and hitting the man's face fiercely, only to hear a "snap", the assassin's face was suddenly beaten red, and he looked very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Mei Jingting was already frowning, ready to speak out to stop Zhou Feng's reckless move.

Before he could speak, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the long street. The three of them felt strange in their hearts, and they all looked at that side in unison. But he saw that on the long street there was a fast horse galloping like a shooting star, and there was a man sitting on the horse, who was wearing a black overcoat and a hat covering his face, and rushed murderously in the direction where they were.

Seeing this, Mei Jingting and Wei Ziyang's hearts tightened, and they just shouted loudly: "It's not good! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man in black on the horse take out a crossbow arrow from his bosom, and the arrow on the crossbow shot straight at the assassin.

As soon as the assassin saw the man in black, a pair of gloomy eyes suddenly rose with a little hope, but when he saw this man take out a crossbow arrow and shoot at him, he was also shocked, so he wanted to dodge to the side, but because the sword was stuck in the ribs, his speed was also greatly reduced, and before he could move, he was pierced through the chest by the crossbow arrow.

The assassin obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen, and after being pierced through the chest, his eyes showed an extremely complicated expression, there was anger and incomprehension, but also peace and relief, and after the sound of "cooing" in his throat, he fell to the ground, and suddenly lost his breath.

After the man succeeded, he rode his fast horse and rushed towards the other end of the long street with all his spare strength, and suddenly disappeared around the corner, and disappeared in the darkness.
