Text Act III: Alliance Holy War_Chapter 95: The White Python
In the afternoon, Ximen Di, a retainer of Ximen Wangfu, walked out of his room, ready to deliver afternoon tea to the head of the house who was working in the office building. He walked to the end of the corridor and was about to go upstairs, but found that the two guards at the staircase were missing, and the guards' guns were still on the ground.
As usual, he came to the kitchen, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of dim sew, and the chef of Simon's house made dim sum, and he saw the cook, "Is the afternoon tea ready, the owner of the house is waiting to use it." β
The chef didn't say a few words to him as usual, but silently handed the plate to him, Ximendi was about to reach out to pick it up, but he felt a little puzzled, and at the same time, the vigilance in his heart immediately became nervous, "You are not a cook, what about a cook?" Before the words fell, the other hand of the "cook" stretched out from under the plate, and a slender golden needle quickly stabbed Ximendi's throat, Ximendi immediately couldn't speak, his eyes widened in horror, and he was about to resist but was pinched by a hand behind him on the painful nerve in the back of his neck, and he fell to the ground in pain.
The whole process didn't even take two seconds, and he was completely defenseless.
[Who is this?!] He gritted his teeth and saw that the person pretending to be a cook had taken off his uniform, it was a woman with long hair, wearing a black tights, outlining a proud figure, and it seemed that he was talking to the person who attacked him, but the sharp pain made his brain buzz, and he couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he already felt that something bad was going to happen, these two people were obviously not from the Simon family, but the question was how they got in, so after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the two guards just now did not go to the toilet by accident, Because the guards wouldn't be so careless about going to the toilet with two people, it means that they may be dead.
[Oh no, a signal must be sent!] Ximendi endured the sharp pain in the back of his neck and throat, and his hands searched for something on his body that could sound the alarm, but as a retainer, he didn't have any weapons on his body, and all that was left was the communication jade on his waist, which was the tool for communication between him and the head of the family, Ximen Zhu.
This is the last hope! If these people can sneak in here smoothly, it means that the entire defense system of the palace has been destroyed by this group, and the high-level members of the family are here, and the family will face a crisis!
Simon Di's throat was pierced by a golden needle, arterial blood was flowing out continuously, and his neck was dyed red, but he still didn't give up struggling, and held the jade in his right hand. Suddenly, he saw the woman's face, which he recognized when he was dying! It was the number one assassin of the Cresin Thieves: Bella. He wanted to pick up the telebiotic jade and speak, but he forgot that he couldn't make a sound!
Bella was tucking a short knife into her waist, she had about twenty short knives hidden on her body, as well as countless golden needles, which she used in assassinations.
"Bella, get rid of him," muttered Bella's accomplice, Suman, a mechanic of the Krisin Thieves.
Bella suddenly raised his hand and instructed Su Mang not to make a sound, he walked to the dying Ximendi, bowed down, and saw the communication jade in his hand, she stepped on the back of his hand, the communication jade was trampled on, and the back of his hand was also spun out of a piece of flesh skin by Bella's thick sole, and then, a bullet from Su Mang behind Bella silently pierced Ximendi's temple, and finally he breathed.
"Hurry up, don't waste any time, you won't get any news from him. We have been exposed. After Su Mang finished speaking, he rushed out with a gun in both hands, and Bella bit her lip and followed.
At some point, these wolf-like and dangerous people infiltrated the palace of Ximen, and it seemed that a conspiracy was brewing, and the poor retainer Ximendi did not say a word until he died.
Ximen Zhu received a message from Ximen Di in the office, but the other party didn't say a word, until he hung up, there was a whining sound, and he immediately knew that something was wrong, this was a person's whimper before he died, something must have happened! He immediately thought of the Ximen Yueming Department and the Ximen Canghai Department stationed at the south gate and north gate of the Zhishui City-State, these two people are his uncle brothers, and they are also his henchmen, and they are also the two commanders of the family's "Water Cold Army", if there is an enemy who has infiltrated the palace, then the palace must be surrounded first, but no one answers, he immediately realized that the spirit wave of the communication jade seems to have been blocked by something, that is, the intruder blocked the connection between the palace and the outside world, but he didn't expect the other party to be so fast.
Looks like someone wants to kill him.
At this moment, he thought quickly in his mind, he realized that the guards in the palace may have been killed, since this group of people can sneak into the palace, it means that it is not simple, he can't help but want to rush out, but he didn't, he is a shrewd person, he will not rush out in the case of lack of preparation, almost in a few seconds, he quickly calmed down, walked to the door, opened a crack in the door, and sure enough, the guard at the door had died.
He closed the door, walked back to his seat, and sat down slowly, resting his head on the back of his office chair and closing his eyes, as if waiting for someone to come to him. He was indeed waiting, he already knew who would come.
After a quarter of an hour, there was a knock on the door of the small footsteps, and he pushed it open without waiting for him to respond. The man was dressed in black, his hair was braided at the back of his head, and there was a black sign under the hairline at the corner of his forehead, most notably his left eye, which was a bloodshot eye.
Deputy Head of the Cresin Thieves: "Dragon" Larue.
"You're here." Ximen Zhu whispered, like waiting for an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"Ximen Zhu, it's been a long time." Lalu stood at the door, pulled his right hand, and a person was pulled by him into Ximen Zhu's field of vision, it was Ximen Cangyue, it seemed that Ximen Cangyue had been subdued by him.
Ximen Zhu first showed a surprised look, and then he looked at the person with an expressionless face, "Lalu, if something happens to Yue'er, you will die." β
"You misunderstood, how could I do it to my little junior sister, but he was too dishonest just now, so I knocked him unconscious, maybe because we haven't met, I'm his senior brother." Lalu said with a face, and the blood light in his left eye kept coming out, like a murderous aura.
"When Frey was alive, he didn't recognize you as a student for a long time." Ximen Zhu frowned, "I heard that you have returned to the new emperor." β
"Yes, I'm here for...... Take your head. LaRue's face was gloomy.
"Lalu, our Simon family treats you well, and after all, Yue'er is also your fellow junior sister, is it really causing everyone to rebel and leave." Simon Zhu said, "If you repent now, I can still help you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, as long as you have that thought, I will still be a family member." β
Lalu was unmoved, he put Ximen Cangyue aside, "The New Human Emperor has the grace of knowing me, although at the beginning I just wanted to get money from him, but now it is different, power is eternal, since I have become a cadre of the New Human Emperor, I should be ruthless first...... Destroy the house of Simon. β
"The grace of knowing it?" Ximen Zhu grabbed the armrest of the office chair with both hands, "I'll tell you what it means to be en, my father Ximen Zhishui saved you from the battlefield in swaddling clothes, this is a life-saving grace; We, the Simon family, have raised you, and this is the grace of nurturing; Your teacher, Frey, did everything in his power to train you to be able to take charge of your own, which is the grace of recreation! This is the kindness you should repay with your life! "Ximen Zhu is not a fiery temper, but Lalu has already touched his bottom line.
Laru showed an embarrassed expression, his body was fighting, and his originally ruthless heart suddenly became weak. Indeed, Ximen Zhu is right, he is a survivor who was rescued by Mr. Ximen Zhishui on the battlefield where the Hongjun Empire fought against the Ghost Moon Kingdom, and he grew up in Ximen's family, and he called Ximen Zhishui by his father since he was a child, and Ximen Zhu is also a brother; Later, after he became an adult, after the recommendation of Ximen Zhishui, Lalu joined the largest mechanical trade union of the human race at that time, the "Luban Trade Union" (the Luban Trade Union is a branch of the Slayer Alliance, believing in the ancient alchemy mechanical god craftsman Lu Ban, is the alchemy machinery trade union founded by the ghost craftsman Tie Qiusheng, and after many splits, it was absorbed by the "ghost hand" department of the alliance alchemy machinery, and then the Luban trade union disappeared. At that time, Frey was only a young man, but at that time he won the title of "Emperor of Machinery" in one fell swoop, and there were countless followers who came to admire him, but he always refused to accept apprentices, until Simon Zhishui personally brought Lalu to visit, Frey took Zhishui's face into account, and Lalu was indeed a rare genius in mechanics, so he accepted Laru.
The past is vivid, even if Lalu is hard-hearted heart has been moved, and unconsciously, the blood in his eyes slowly faded.
"Back then, you deviated from the purpose of the mechanic, killed innocent people and were expelled from the school, so you became a thief, but do you know the bitterness in your teacher's heart at that time? I know you hate him. Ximen Zhu took a deep breath, "You were cultivated by him, but your teacher Frey definitely doesn't want to do that, don't you know that he ...... I've always been proud of you. β
A thunderbolt exploded in Larue's head, and he had never felt so guilty in more than a decade, but he didn't seem to repent at all, "No...... It's the teacher who hates me because I'm a demon! β
"A person who hates you will give you the successor of the 'Taidou Xingjun'." Ximen Zhu said coldly.
"Impossible...... How could he be......" Lalu fell to his knees as he looked at his hands, the blood in his eyes disappearing, "This can't be! β
Suddenly, a wind blew in from the door, like a ghost, it was a tall man in a white robe, he walked behind Larue, he was the "King of the Earth" Lugulus, and his right hand slapped Laru's back shoulder, "Don't listen to his nonsense, the best thing for the Simon family is to charm people with words." β
Ximen Zhu raised his eyebrows, and immediately sank his face, "Lugulus, you bastard." β
"Larue," said Lugulus, "since the day you betrayed Frey, your master-apprentice relationship and your relationship with the Simon family no longer exist, and the reason why the New Emperor sent you Cresin thieves on this mission is to temper your mind, as long as you can be ruthless, you can do anything, and your future in the New Political Alliance is immeasurable." β
Before he finished speaking, Laru seemed to be stirred up, and the blood in his left eye came out again, and then he let out a cold laugh as if he had changed into a different person, and he stood up, holding his forehead and making a horrible laugh, "Lugulus, you are right, I must be ruthless. β
Ximen Zhu frowned, but he still didn't stand up, sat there steadily, and didn't go to take Ximen Cangyue back.
"My people have occupied the palace, and the main forces and masters of your family are not in the palace, and now ...... The Xiyue Mansion is a sheepfold, and we are preying wolves! Laru roared angrily.
Ximen Zhu stood up violently, his right hand clenched, "Lalu, I'll just ask you one last question,"
"Do you want to be like the wise man Sereant Dish Dragon? You're too naΓ―ve, you're not a wise general like your dad and you don't have the strength of Selent, so hurry up and say something. "Laru already has two more alchemy revolvers" in his hands.
Ximen Zhu frowned, "Did you betray Frey, did you sell him to the Rookie Emperor?" Don't you know that the Rookie Emperor has a relationship with the Black Stone Demon Clan! Three generations of Xuanhuang! Caesar of the East! And Sereant Pumierja was killed by these people! They are thieves who want to save the Terrans! He snapped.
Lugulus was silent, without any expression on his face, Lalu had a cold face, and the gun in his hand was aimed at Ximen Zhu, "You know too much." β
