The king of Shang has been very busy these two days.

Yin's return from Donglu does not mean that the imperial court's investigation of Dongbohou has been completed, but that this large-scale investigation has just begun. These days, Yin Rui has organized the intelligence network in Donglu, and sent a steady stream of information back to Chaoge, which was sorted out by Yaxiang Jizi and reported to the king of Shang. Dashang has lasted for 600 years, how can the strength it possess only be a superficial point?

In this information, there are not only the movements of the Dongbohou Mansion, but also all the actions of all the salt officials appointed by the imperial court, and the fact that the imperial court has not dealt with them does not mean that they are free, in fact, they have already been imprisoned in a larger prison, and the jailers are the spies sent by the imperial court to their side.

Today, the spies confirmed another news that was only rumors before, and the rebellion of the princes of the 72nd Route of Beihai was indeed supported by the Dongbohou Mansion!

Previously, Taishi Wenzhong mentioned many times that the rebels such as Yuan Futong this time, whether in terms of equipment or soldiers, were a little unusual. The king of Shang only said that Wen Zhong exaggerated the enemy's situation in order to win more merits, but today he knows that he has wronged Wen Zhong, and the Taishi is really the cornerstone of the court, and he never lies.

The king of Shang watched the recital in the upper study, and it was not until after the end of the sea that he realized that it was getting late. I wanted to go to Shuyuan Palace to find Huang Xue, but I was told by the waiter that Huang Xue had a menstrual affair, so I didn't bother to get up and rested directly in the upper study.

He sat up and thought for a while, but he didn't know where the feeling of palpitations came from. So, he called Jiao Fang in, wanting to ask if there was anything missing today.

The two said a few words, Jiao Fang was also a little unclear, and suddenly, the feeling of horror in King Shang's heart became even stronger, and faintly, it seemed that something terrible was about to happen. His heart moved, and he picked up the knife beside him, since he used this knife to destroy Mabel's monster in his dream that day, this knife replaced the long sword and was always carried by his side.

Suddenly, a strange change occurred, only a few muffled sounds were heard, and the five windows around the upper study were smashed open almost at the same time, five figures flashed in, and five snow-bright long swords stabbed straight towards the Shang King from different directions.

Although the speed of those five long swords was extremely fast, the Shang King had already taken precautions at this time, how could he be stabbed so easily? I saw him pull out the slashing sword, use the family heirloom Five Emperors swordsmanship, and the Yan Emperor explored the grass, turned over the bed, dodged the attacking four long swords, and swept the fifth long sword away with another sword.

Seeing that the sudden blow did not succeed, the five black-clothed assassins were not in a hurry to attack, but each stood firm and formed a joint attack on the Shang King.

Jiao Fang, the chief attendant on the side, saw the assassin entering the study, and was immediately shocked, and shouted a few times: "Come on, catch the assassin." The voice was very high-pitched, echoing in the upper study, piercing everyone's eardrums.

But until the sound died down, no one came in to escort him.

Seeing this situation, the hearts of King Shang and Jiao Fang sank.

The Shang King was in the upper study at this time, so according to common sense, there should be at least fifty chamberlains in ambush around the upper study. But Jiao Fang shouted like this, but none of the attendants came in, so there was only one possibility, that is, the attendants had all been killed by the assassins.

The assassins carefully taught by Dong Bohou were really amazingly powerful, and within half an hour, they quietly got rid of fifty martial arts and carefully hidden chamberlains!

The upper study room is the place where the Shang kings of the past dynasties approved the chapters, so the materials used in the construction are extremely particular, especially pay attention to sound insulation, and the trees planted around it also have the effect of sound insulation, so as to avoid the Shang kings being disturbed when they work. I don't want to be so exquisite, but at this time I have become an accomplice who endangers the life of the Shang King, even if Jiao Fang screams loudly in the room at this time, he will not be able to go far after all, and it is difficult to alarm the inner servants who are farther away.

The anxiety of the Shang King at this time naturally could not escape the eyes of the five well-trained assassins, and of course this kind of opportunity would not be missed, and they took the opportunity to stab at the Shang King again from different angles with a flick of their long swords.

The king of Shang did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly looked at the qi of the emperor, slashed the slashing knife into a circle, and with a few sounds, he swung five long swords at the same time. Although he was an emperor, he had never abandoned his martial arts, and he was born with divine power, and as soon as he swung down, the five assassins were shocked back two steps at the same time. One of the assassins' sword was slashed twice and snapped off instantly.

The leading assassin was also shocked when he saw that the king of Shang was so brave, and said, "Everyone attack with all their might, and there is no need to have any scruples." With that, he took the lead in attacking. Seeing this, several other assassins also struck one after another, and the assassin who had broken his long sword also slashed at him with a short sword, and the six of them immediately fought together.

Shang Wang Sheng was born with divine power and exquisite tricks, but he was powerful and extremely brave, even if two of them were cut by Shang Wang, he never retreated for a moment. The old waiter was frightened and shouted on the sidelines, but unfortunately he didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't help King Shang at this time.

The Shang King's advantage lasted less than a moment, and his moves slowed down. The Five Emperors Sword Technique is the first to be vigorous, and it is the most energy-consuming, and if it can't be attacked for a long time, the momentum will slowly disperse, and the King of Shang is also sweating on his forehead at this time, and the assassin with the broken sword has a sword under the ribs, and the bones are visible. A piercing pain made him enraged, and he endured the pain and slashed the assassin to the ground with a backhand.

No, the assassin was very brave, and the slashed neck was still bubbling with blood, but he grabbed the knife with both hands and did not let the king pull it out.

The other four assassins saw that the Shang King was being controlled by his companions, so they naturally refused to miss the opportunity, and the four long swords were handed forward in three ways, blocking all the possibilities of the Shang King's evasion. At this time, the Shang King's move was old, his strength was exhausted, and he let go of the slashing knife and took a few steps back, and he couldn't dodge it.

The old waiter Jiao Fang watched the king of Shang grow up since he was a child, and he was like father and son, and at this time, seeing that the king of Shang couldn't dodge this sword, he naturally couldn't watch the king of Shang die. He suddenly rushed up from the side, shouted "Don't hurt the king", and opened his arms to block in front of the king of Shang.

The four assassins saw Jiao Fang rushing at him, but they didn't dodge, they had already seen that Jiao Fang didn't know martial arts, and with the strength of the four of them, this sword was enough to stab the Shang King to death after piercing Jiao Fang. When the king of Shang saw that Jiao Fang was going to block the sword for himself, his eyes were immediately red, and he shouted: "Get out of the way." But it didn't work.

Just when the long sword was less than two feet away from Jiao Fang's chest, a black object the size of a bucket suddenly flew in from outside the window that had been knocked open before, castrating extremely quickly, and flew straight towards the middle of the Shang King and the assassin. The four assassins were all shocked when they saw that the Shang King was about to die, and suddenly saw a hidden weapon flying into the window.

They are well-trained, and they can hear the sound of breaking through the air, although they don't know what kind of hidden weapon flew in, but if they continue to move, they will be smashed by the hidden weapon. The four of them were strong in martial arts, and they quickly froze, and the object did not hit the assassin, and then fell softly on the ground between Jiao Fang and the assassin. The object seemed to be extremely heavy, and when it hit the ground, a muffled sound smashed a large hole into the ground, and the whole upper study seemed to shake a little.

When the king of Shang saw the object, he was overjoyed, he was very familiar with this thing, but it was undoubtedly a cannon. He shouted in the direction of the window, "Daji!"

Huang Xue outside the window didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, seeing that several other assassins were about to rush up again, he hurriedly shouted: "Manager Jiao, quickly retreat!"

Jiao Fang was in shock at this time, and he did not hesitate when he heard the words, and subconsciously protected the Shang King and took three steps back. Huang Xue recited the mantra, and the cannon brand communicated with her, and immediately changed to its original size, a copper pillar two feet long and eight feet round, like a copper wall, blocked between the Shang king and the assassins.

The Assassins were about to stab their swords again, but suddenly there was a change, and they stabbed on the cannon brand. There were a few sounds, and the four assassins were shocked back a few steps, and the cannon brand naturally did not move.

The leader of the assassins was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded, shouting, "Go around." So he ran to the side of the cannon. The length of the cannon brand was only two zhang, and the width of the upper study room was five zhang, after all, it was impossible to completely isolate the assassin from the Shang king, and there was a narrow distance between the two ends of the cannon brand and the wall.

Seeing this, the other three assassins hurriedly subconsciously followed the leader, and they wanted to bypass the cannon brand and continue to attack the Shang King.

King Shang and Jiao Fang were not fools, of course they would not wait for the assassin to come and kill, Jiao Fang hurriedly supported King Shang and ran towards the other side of the cannon brand. When the four Assassins circled behind the cannon brand, they were shocked to find that Shang Wang and Jiao Fang had circled back to their previous positions from the other side.

The Assassin Commander couldn't stop crying and laughing, in the midst of such a tense assassination, there would be such a game of children playing in circles. At this time, he heard the faint sound of footsteps and some shouting outside the room, and hurriedly said to his companion, "Hurry up and go after them." When the other three heard this, they turned around and chased back.

Suddenly, the sound of Huang Xue's spell came from outside the window, and the cannon seemed to disappear suddenly, becoming only an inch in size, and the Shang King was suddenly exposed to the four of them.

The four Assassins were overjoyed when they saw the cannon brand disappear suddenly, and one of the Assassins who reacted quickly rushed straight towards the Shang King with his sword raised. Another incantation sounded, and the cannon instantly grew louder again, hitting the assassin right on. The man was like being hit by a galloping bull, and he was knocked against the wall by the top fly before he stopped, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground. Of the five Assassins, only three were left to fight.

The cannon shrank again, but the Assassins did not dare to step into its range again, but continued to circle the Shang King.

The assassin was afraid that the cannon brand would grow bigger again, but the king of Shang was not afraid, so he took Jiao Fang to step over the cannon brand and returned to his previous position. With a bang, the cannon brand grew larger again, and when the three assassins finally went around the Shang king, they watched as the Shang king was separated by the cannon brand again, except for the loss of one person, everything returned to the original state.
