Chapter 229: The Assassin
A few days ago
The sky has gradually darkened, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets of Xianyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Since there is a curfew in the Qin State, there are faint sounds of neat footsteps on the streets at this moment.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak"
A richly decorated carriage drove slowly through the streets of Xianyang. In the quiet alleyway, only the sound of horses' hooves and wheels can be heard.
In the carriage, Sima Jun rubbed his swollen head a little weakly, and his expression was a little sluggish.
Since the King of Qin's royal conquest, Xiong Qi, the king of Changping, who is a relative of the emperor and the emperor, suddenly became the first minister of the Qin State in theory.
And this young man, as if he was in high spirits, just a generation of palm prints, with lightning speed, took the lead in launching a fierce attack on Wei Fan's line of the Chu line of the Qin State.
At first, Sima Jun was just taking a wait-and-see attitude. Even, secretly laughing at this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, is too radical and doesn't know how to figure it out.
And he is waiting for the two factions of the Chu family to fight and lose both, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
However, the disadvantage of Wei Fan's lineage, or the rout, was so fast that Sima Jun was a little shocked. A month, just a short month. Wei Fan's lineage, which could originally be subservient to the third-class faction of the Qin State, has actually collapsed.
And those Chu people who had betrayed Xiong Quan were not cleared by Xiong Qi, the king of Changping, as they imagined, but threw themselves into Xiong Qi's door again.
Even, these people were grateful, but they did their best to do things for Xiong Qi. The fragmented Chu system was reorganized again in just one month.
By the time Sima Jun realized that something was wrong, the Chu family had become a monolith again. Although it is not enough to compete with their Qin family, it is far from being something that can be handled at will before.
Xiong Qi, who has received the support of the entire Chu family, has more confidence, and above the court, he is even more-for-tat with Sima Jun in the name of Dai Xiangguo.
For this reason, Sima Jun has not really slept well in the past few months.
Today, Xiong Qi and Sima Jun quarreled over the new Sanchuan County Guard. From the morning to the present, Fang gave up under the adjustment of Queen Qi Zheng.
"This son, you can't get rid of it!" Inside the carriage, Sima Jun closed his eyes slightly, and then murmured softly.
"What people!"
At this moment, the shouts of the guards suddenly sounded outside the carriage, and the original carriage also slowly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Sima Jun frowned and asked impatiently.
Although the curfew was approaching at this time, it was not excluded that some pedestrians or privileged Qin nobles could not be ruled out.
"My lord, there is a man standing in front of the car with a sword." Through the window of the carriage, one of the guards replied in a low voice.
"Kill!" Sima Jun waved his hand and closed his eyes again.
Now that he was being messed up by Xiong Qi, now that someone dared to stop his carriage, a wave of anger slowly emerged from Sima Jun's heart.
As for the reason, it's better to be an assassin. Anyway, at this time, it's almost time for curfew.
"Whoa!"
The guard outside the window arched his hand at Sima Jun, then pulled out the saber at his waist and slowly walked towards the somewhat sloppy man in the middle of the road.
However, as if he had not seen it, the man still stood there, immovable.
"Humph!" The guard snorted with some disdain, and then the saber in his hand stabbed fiercely at the somewhat sloppy man in the middle of the road.
"Poof!"
A sword light swept through, dripping blood, under the faint moonlight, it looked unusually bewitching.
"Poof!"
With a look of disbelief, the guard slowly fell to the ground.
"Huh? Something ...... interesting."
Inside the carriage, although Sima Jun didn't see how the man killed his guard, with Sima Jun's strength in the late congenital stage, he naturally felt the innate aura that erupted at that moment.
"Squeak......
The carriage door slowly opened, and Sima Jun, surrounded by several guards, walked up to about three feet in front of the man.
"Unexpectedly, at such a young age, he is already a congenital master. Not bad, not bad! Sima Jun stroked his beard slightly, nodded and praised.
"Young man, your skills and talent, the old man admires it very much. No matter what you want to do here tonight, the old man can give you a chance to work for me. ”
Sima Jun squinted his eyes and looked at the man confidently with a hint of a smile, as if he was extremely confident in the man's decision.
"I'm here to kill you." The man looked at Sima Jun and said slowly. Under the young cheeks, a pair of resolute eyes were revealed.
"Hehe, don't you think about it anymore? What the man who hired you gives you, the old man can give you double. As an Assassin, isn't it about profit? ”
Sima Jun smiled slightly, still with that confident face, and his eyes became more kind.
The man shook his head slightly and said softly, "No need. Although I am not an Assassin, I still have this basic faith. ”
"Hehe, that's a pity...... Sima Jun shook his head slightly, and said with a sigh, "I hope that in the next life, you can meet the old man first......"
After Sima Jun finished speaking, he turned around, took steps again, and slowly walked towards the carriage.
"Kill!"
On the side, a man who looked like a guard coldly waved his hand and pulled out his sword murderously.
"Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! ”
Immediately afterwards, the remaining guards also drew their swords one after another and rushed towards the man together.
And the man, who also looked coldly at the dozen or so guards who rushed over, without the slightest look of fear, slowly pulled out the sword behind his back.
"Buzz!"
The man's saber let out a slight hum. On the blade of the sword, the unicorn, which has always been inky, is lifelike. At first glance, it is a good sword.
The head of the guard's eyes lit up, and a greedy gaze flashed.
"Poof! Poof! ”
In the horrified gaze of the Captain of the Guard, blood swept across his vision like a fountain. Then it was plunged into darkness.
Sima Jun turned his head in some surprise, and looked at the guards who had fallen all over the ground with some shock.
The blood was left on the ground, but the man's body was not stained at all.
"It seems that the old man underestimated you!" Sima Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.
The man in front of him seemed to be a mid-congenital cultivator, but he was slaughtering his pre-congenital guards like a chicken. This can no longer be described as more than just talent.
"Buzz!"
Sima Jun waved his hand, and a saber burst out of the carriage.
"The old man can give you another chance, Xiaoyou has to think about it carefully!" Sima Jun said as he slowly drew his sword.
"Buzz!"
The saber in the man's hand made a soft sound, and his resolute gaze did not waver in the slightest.
"Whoosh!"
Without any prelude, Sima Jun's body, which was already in his seventies, suddenly burst out with the strength of the late innate stage. Almost instantly, it was already in front of the man's eyes.
"Click!"
A crunch echoed through the alleyways. The sound of the sword shattering and falling to the ground sounded, and Sima Jun, who had dominated the Qin State for decades, separated his head.
