Chapter 527: The Assassin Finally Appears
There are a total of 3,000 prisoners in Chengjun Prison, and with so many people taking the exam together, there must be no suitable hall in the prison.
Therefore, this examination was held in a large open space in Sungkyun Prison, and the scene was spectacular.
The afternoon sun shines on people lazily.
Wu Zetian was in a very good mood today and was in good spirits, while Zhang Changzong yawned and fell asleep.
He thought to himself, hmph, the officials are so sleepy, what kind of sleepiness do those four superintendents who have been drugged!
After a while, they all fell asleep, while the other prisoners were able to finish the questions normally.
This makes His Majesty, who has just relied on the four inmates as his confidants, how to get back face?
Under the anger, Cui Erlang must have to walk around without eating! It's really exciting to think about.
Hey? Wrong?
The prisoner who just fell down doesn't seem to be the one who learns for the four, but the one who learns too much. This fat man, you're too weak.
Yes? Why did the two law scholars fall again, Nima, the prisoners of Chengjun Prison, are really rotten, no wonder Cui Erlang wants to reform on the table.
β¦β¦
Wrong! That's not right! It's not that simple!
Puff~~Puff~~Puff~~Puff~~
But it's amazing, at first it was only one or two down, then a dozen, hundreds!
Moreover, the speed at which this situation spreads is also getting faster and faster.
After a while, not only the prisoners, but also the accompanying Imperial Forest Army, there were also people who fell to the ground, and those who did not fall to the ground also swayed and could not support it.
An inexplicable ominous premonition surged into Zhang Changzong's heart - oops, not good! The target of Ji Xuan's drug should not be everyone, not just the students of Siweixue, right? What the hell is he trying to do? Could it be that someone bought him and wanted to ...... Plot to usurp the throne!
However, Zhang Changzong quickly overturned his thoughts, because at this moment, Ji Ji was also constantly shaking, and his eyes were confused.
Wu Zetian also realized that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Cui Gengzhi felt drowsy and reluctantly replied: "Wechen is tired now, and he just wants to sleep...... Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual about you and the kings...... Is it poisonous in today's food? β
Not to mention that Wu Zetian and the kings' meals are specially made, there are several procedures to ensure the safety of the food, Cui Geng's guess is really reasonable.
Wu Zetian was suddenly shocked and said, "There are thieves making trouble!" Dan'er, you quickly ride a fast horse and mobilize troops to quell the chaos! β
"Yes!"
Li Dan understood that this was Li Xiu's arrangement that had played a role, so he wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.
However, just as Jean was about to leave, suddenly, a prisoner rushed out from Guozixue, Taixue, Simenxue, Law, Calligraphy, and Arithmetic.
The most important thing is that each of them is armed with a bright steel knife!
"Phew!" The leader shouted, "Everyone, listen up, Wu Zetian is the emperor, and the hen Si Chen is the troubled dynasty." Today, our brothers want to do the right thing for heaven and help the prince ascend the throne, irrelevant dodge! β
Li Xian's heart flipped over, secretly screamed bitterness, knelt down in front of Wu Zetian, kowtowed again and again, and said: "Qiqi saint, these people have nothing to do with Erchen at all!" β
"Don't panic, of course I know it has nothing to do with you." Wu Zetian's face was like frost, and he said: "If it's really related, they can't shout like that." Otherwise, if my hand and sword fall, how can you live? β
Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said continuously: "The saint is wise, the saint is wise!" β
Wu Zetian sighed lightly and said, "Alas, whether you are wise or not depends on how many loyal ministers I have today." Whether you can pass this today, it's really hard to say! β
In the whole exam, the four "protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven" are in the middle, and the remaining six credits are about the same.
It was too late, it was too soon, and in a few moments, the six assassins had already gathered in the ranks of the four sects and formed a formation!
"I ...... I'm fighting with you! β
Wu Zetian's reward just now worked, and a young man in his twenties stepped forward and stopped in front of an assassin.
"You're so desperate for death!"
The assassin's steel knife swung with a single sword, and the young man was slashed to the ground, and his body was separated!
Puff~~
A good head keeps rolling, and this situation and this scene makes people's hearts numb.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
A few more prisoners of the four schools, fearless of death, reluctantly came up and hugged the assassin's thigh, only to die unexpectedly.
To put it simply, although most of the prisoners of the four schools are powerless, after being poisoned, their combat effectiveness is about zero. However, they went one after another, paying the price of nearly a hundred men, and they delayed the assassins for half an hour.
Seeing that this was not the case, the leading assassin shouted: "Leave these fools alone, it is important to kill the old witch, and be careful of long nights and dreams." β
"Whoa!"
Only then did the assassins continue to move forward, even if they encountered obstacles, they only wanted to pass, not to kill, and their kung fu was not big, and they were not far from Wu Zetian.
Cui Geng had already taken advantage of this attacker to swallow the "silk grass" in the sachet in one gulp, felt a little better, looked at Cui Xiufang and said, "How are you?" β
"We'll have to wait a while." Cui Xiufang said in a low voice: "The leader of the assassins is Qiu Fengyun pretending, and my kung fu is stronger than him. Plus, there were six of them, and I couldn't handle them alone. So, I had to make a move at a critical time. Can you find a way to stop them for a while? β
Stop the Assassins? That's a life-threatening stop?!
To be honest, the friendship between Cui Geng and Mrs. Wu has never reached that point. However, it doesn't matter, you don't need to go on it yourself, there is a back-handed man!
"Lord Wang, it's time for you to behave!" Cui Geng made a slight effort, and pushed the crown prince Li Xian in front of Wu Zetian.
Just kidding, Wu Zetian is his own mother, who does he not protect?
Now, what should Li Xianneng do? He didn't care about talking to Cui Geng, slapped his swollen face and became fat, and said, "Mother, the child protects you!" β
In the past, Li Xiandu called Wu Zetian a saint, but now he directly calls his mother, which is undoubtedly a bit of a true feeling.
Wu Zetian didn't see Cui Geng's small movements, and said movingly: "Good boy, I didn't mistake you!" β
Of course, Cui Geng couldn't watch Li Xian die, and said to Wu Yizong: "Old brother, don't I believe in my brother?" The opportunity for meritorious service has come! β
"Stand ...... Make contributions? β
To be honest, Wu Yizong really didn't believe in Cui Geng, but he understood that now that Wu Zetian is dead, Zhuwu will definitely not end well.
This old ugly ghost, among the martial artists, is also the number one person, and between the lightning and flint, he weighed the pros and cons.
He stood up in front of Li Xian and said, "Whoever wants to hurt His Majesty must first step on the corpse of this king!" β
"And me!"
This time it was Ji Ji who accosted him, and now, doesn't he understand that he has fallen into the evil deeds of that monk? There was no doubt that the Assassin was not on his side.
The assassin wins, and he has no good fruit to eat; What about the defeat of the Assassins? Wu Zetian's life is at stake, but he doesn't have to have any evidence to be convicted, he still can't escape the pain of a knife.
Only by standing up at this time can we find a glimmer of life.
Ji Ji was tall and resistant, and he staggered in front of Wu Yizong.
With these three people taking the lead, the escorts responded one after another, and there were about 20 people.
There are six assassins, who are strong in martial arts and ruthless in their hearts; There are many escorts, but their combat strength is not strong, and some are even barely standing.
As soon as they faced each other, several of the escorts were cut down to the ground, and Ji Ji fell to the ground and pretended to be a dead dog.
The dozen or so people who are still holding on are far from being the opponents of the assassins, and the situation is precarious!
At this critical moment, Cui Geng and Cui Xiufang glanced at each other and said, "Qiu Fengyun, who instructed you to assassinate the king?" β
"Huh?"
The assassins' offensive suddenly stagnated, Qiu Fengyun's eyes flashed, and he said, "Who should I be, it turned out to be Cui Geng and Cui Erlang." Yes, if you can recognize someone Qiu's disguise, you Cui Geng is a character! β
Cui Geng sighed and said, "What's the use of being a character?" Before he dies, can he make this official a ghost? β
Qiu Fengyun shook his head and said, "This matter is very important, and I can't." β
"Oh? It's so faceless...... In that case, I have only ...... Please ...... Die! β
