Chapter 289: Retreat the Assassin and Invite Companions
In the past, the prestige of the Northern Qi Lanling King, of course Yue Qianqiu knew. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lanling King into the Formation, he also once watched a slow and quiet little clip when he changed the TV channel, which is said to have been lost in China in the previous life, but has been passed down in Japan to this day. It's just that the movement is as slow as an old cow pulling a broken car, he can't appreciate it at all, he is not interested after just looking at it, and immediately changes the channel.
Therefore, when he put on the long dance clothes at this time, wore a mess of various ornaments, and was buttoned with a very complicated and hideous mask on his head, he didn't have time to see clearly where Master Yan Xu was and where King Jin was.
Hearing the sound of war drums and the bursts of music, he was involuntarily dragged into the arena by the neatly arranged procession, who had just been taught some movements like a marionette. In the spacious open space in the center of the high hall, dozens of people were crowded at this time, because everyone was wearing the same mask, where could he tell who was who, so he could only helplessly follow the movements of the front and back, left and right.
However, as the sound of the song became more and more intense, the movements became more and more intense, completely different from the slow Lanling King entering the formation in his memory, he only felt that he was like a discordant note in a harmonious musical score, how to dance and how wrong, in the end, he simply broke the jar and fell, regardless of the music, casually waving the sword weapon in his hand.
But because of such a blind disregard for the overall situation, he finally calmed down and finally caught two other people who were also discordant.
A person who doesn't care how others dance, takes the sword weapon and dances the sword by himself, and squeezes everyone else aside, which is obviously a strict criticism. The other one was surrounded by a group of people, lazily as if he was perfunctory, and from time to time he waved his sword, who was not the King of Jin?
Seeing this scene, he was so angry that he was forced to put the ducks on the shelves. I was hungry and sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman, and your master was so perfunctory there? Lao Tzu danced for the first time in his life, and he was actually ruined in such a place!
Almost in the flash of Yue Qianqiu's thoughts, a question suddenly occurred to him. Why did this good King of Jin invite me to dance?
Since he was suspicious, he couldn't help but put more of his spirit on observing the other people around him, and soon, the spirit that he had tempered more and more clearly over the years seemed to have captured some kind of foreign body, and the next moment, he only felt that the tail vertebrae exploded, and a cold breath arose.
His gaze almost instinctively scanned back and forth among the many sword weapons, and finally unconsciously fixed on one of the many dancers in the broken array, or rather, on a sword weapon.
Even if he looked at it a few more times from the corner of his eye, the sword seemed to be no different from others, but somehow, he just felt that he was the same as himself, Yan Xu, and the King of Jin, the dancer who was obviously very skillful and devoted, but it was incompatible with this huge and passionate dance music.
Although he didn't have a good feeling for this neurotic King of Jin, today it is known that the three envoys of the Wu Dynasty were invited to a banquet, and if something goes wrong with the King of Jin, it will be really bad.
He subconsciously cast a glimpse at the person he thought was Yan Xu, but found that the mask also turned to him, and he immediately understood what Yan Xu meant.
Master also noticed that something was wrong!
Weighing the distance between himself and the suspicious dancer, Yue Qianqiu looked at the people around him who were in the way, he suddenly turned his heart sideways, and simply didn't care what kind of dance music and dance posture this was, and savagely rampaged towards King Jin from among those who danced well. Sure enough, this guy who seemed to be highly myopic didn't seem to react at all, and he didn't realize until he took off his mask closely.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, you have so many escorts, why are you pulling me and Master who don't know anything at all? I'm not jumping! Yue Qianqiu seemed to be angry, took off his mask and put it in his hand and said angrily, "Besides, how majestic the Lanling King is to break the formation, how to look at this dance and pretend to be, and the name of the Lanling King's entry into the formation is not good, it is better to call the Lanling King Breaking Formation!" ”
This is no longer called strong words, it is simply unreasonable. From the beginning of today's appearance, King Jin, who also seemed to be strong and domineering, was still lazily waving his sword just now, but when he heard the six words of King Lanling's Breaking Array Music, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't care about the singing and dancing around him, he actually stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, good, these three words are indeed better than entering the formation!" ”
The only man sitting on the seat absentmindedly watching the dance while drinking stuffy wine, hearing this messy conversation, almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, and then coughed again and again.
Almost as soon as his violent cough rang out, he suddenly heard a soft thud. If it was another civil official who was powerless, I was afraid that he would only think that it was the sound of an inadvertent exchange of swords, but after all, there was a demon star in his house!
He can be said to be watching Yue Ying's god-killing martial arts become superb day by day!
Lord Yue raised his head very quickly in response, only to see a cold light shooting towards King Jin among the dancers, and beside King Jin, it was Yue Qianqiu who was talking to others just now!
When he saw Yue Qianqiu dodging in front of King Jin without hesitation, when the cold light almost arrived in front of him, he threw out the mask in his hand with a loud shout, and under the exchange of sword weapons and masks, he actually turned into pieces and threw himself at the other party's head, but the dancer who was suspected of being an assassin still ignored the fragments shooting all over his face, wiped out the wounds, and stabbed straight with his sword without dodging or dodging, he almost felt that his heart jumped to his throat.
Immediately after, he found a figure rushing out of a group of dancers like a big bird, and rushed towards Yue Qianqiu and King Jin as if Mount Tai was overpowering. He couldn't do anything else, but he could barely see the level of martial arts, and when he realized that he was also a first-class master, his hands and feet couldn't help but be even colder.
Could there be other Assassins?
But in an instant, he heard the familiar voice: "Dare to stab under my nose, it's against you, look at the move!" ”
Seeing that the person who hit in the air and Yue Qianqiu cooperated tacitly, he instantly formed a joint attack on the assassin who had just assassinated him, and realized that it was Yan Xu, but the eldest master Yue couldn't relax at all, the whole person seemed to be suffocated, and his eyes only stared at the King of Jin who was still wearing a mask behind Yue Qianqiu, and he couldn't see what expression it was, as if the other party would turn his face and sneak attack the next moment.
Even if Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu came forward to help, this rumored and unpredictable guy may not take advantage of the situation to push all the charges onto the envoys of the Wu Dynasty...... This demon has done it!
Even at the moment of this sudden assassination, the dozens of dancers were still dancing neatly, without the slightest intention of retreating, even in Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu and a few around the assassin, but the strength of the cold light shop seemed to be unaware, that kind of abnormal and abrupt feeling, the more the onlookers watched, the more they couldn't take their eyes off it, the more they felt that they wanted to vomit blood.
This His Royal Highness the King of Jin is simply even crazier than he knew!
The older the old man is, the more he thinks that people are crazy, and the more Qianqiu thinks that people are simply insane.
Assassins were relatively rare creatures in the Wu Dynasty.
At least Yue Qianqiu has seen Ying Xiaopang and Li Chongming swaying outside a few times, although there are many guards, but they are far from being able to call the front and back, one is the emperor's only son, and the other is the emperor's grandson, but they have never been safe.
But this time, they have only set foot on the land of Beiyan for a few days, and the king of Jin was assassinated just after inviting them to a banquet.
You know that people are hated, and when you are assassinated, you should retreat quickly, don't watch the excitement here! You still let other dancers continue to dance here, don't take us with you if you have a nervous disorder? If you don't stop the assassin at this time, you will probably be involved in this assassination storm, who will be full and have nothing to do to stop you from the disaster!
Yue Qianqiu was crazy on the one hand, and stepped up his actions on the other. Although he didn't have a Mo knife to take advantage of, and today was a banquet guest of King Jin, he didn't dare to bring all kinds of gadgets casually, for fear of being searched out and causing trouble, at this time, the neurotic was behind his back, and he didn't dare to come up with any means to press the bottom of the box, so he played decently, or dragged mud and water.
But because of this, he has discovered that the sword weapon in his hand that seems to be just a good-looking sword is not just that simple. Although neither side had ever opened a front, but it had exchanged several blows with the obviously sharp real sword in the assassin's hand, and this sword weapon was not even broken.
It was only then that he realized where the familiarity he felt when he had just been stuffed with a sword weapon came from.
Compared to those swords that should have been shoddy, maybe even hollow, the guy in his hand was not light!
Although Yan Xu saw that Yue Qianqiu did not contribute to the work, and only stopped the assassin but not the killer, he also took advantage of the situation to grind foreign workers.
But even so, under the combined attack of one large and one small, the assassin was still more and more overstretched, and the range of movement was getting smaller and smaller. When his back shoulder was finally grabbed tightly by Yan Xu, he didn't seem to notice that Yue Qianqiu did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but his face changed greatly, and he actually gritted his teeth fiercely.
Almost at the moment when he gritted his teeth, he only felt that the figure in front of him flashed, but a person suddenly swept past Yue Qianqiu's side and suddenly appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that the other party's right hand was tightly pinching his jaw, and his left hand was slashed the side of his neck.
The next moment, all he saw was the smile that made him shudder.
"Dare to stab, but don't dare to endure the punishment, just thinking about the defeat and poisoning to death, isn't that too unproductive?"
Yue Qianqiu stopped when he noticed that someone was passing by, and when he heard King Jin's voice that seemed to be mocking and regretful, he felt that his teeth were a little sore without thinking about it, and he flashed behind Yan Xu at the moment, as if he was a timid boy who only knew how to hide under the wings of his elders. But when he looked at the soft fallen assassin, he happened to have an exchange of eyes with King Jin, who had just made a sudden move.
"When I just blocked the assassins for this king, I was still a bold thief, and now I can pretend to be cowardly by hiding behind people?" The squinting King of Jin seemed to be still so careless, and seeing that Yue Qianqiu didn't answer himself at all, he ordered, "Come on, clean up, wash that daring guy, and send him where he should go!" ”
Seeing that the dance had stopped, the dancers retreated, and four of them grabbed the assassin's limbs and carried him down, clearing the ground of all traces. For a while, where could it be seen from the high hall that there had just been a dangerous assassination?
"This time the Wu Dynasty mission is really rare, in the face of such a dangerous scene, the more adults do not move like a mountain, and Lord Yan and the nine princes of Yue have a deep tacit understanding, this king admires!" Saying these unnutritious compliments in his mouth, Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, suddenly changed his words and said, "This king is just about to go to Beijing, how about you go with me?" ”
didn't wait for everyone to agree or not, but he added another joke: "It should be just right to make a table of mahjong." ”
Yue Qianqiu took a light breath, and then asked curiously, "Shangjing?" But isn't His Royal Highness King Jin an official here? ”
"Who said that?" Xiao Jingxian raised his eyebrows as if he was extremely surprised, "The guy who manages this place just happened to be corrupt and bent the law into my palm, and I couldn't get out of bed, so I took care of it for him for a few days." If I'm gone, he'll be relieved! ”
After being slightly stunned, Yue Qianqiu instinctively asked, "Then the house before was not yours from His Royal Highness King Jin?" ”
"House? Of course not. Xiao Jingxian said in a tone as natural as eating and drinking, "Those handmaids are also that guy's, I smoked their masters, and they had to serve me carefully for the sake of their lives." The corrupt guy was rich, and there was a lot of honey candles hidden in the treasury, which made it rare for me to enjoy the daylight. ”
At this time, Yue Qianqiu finally understood that it was not this Jin King and a local tyrant who was a loser, he was simply spending other people's money, no wonder he was not distressed at all!
