"What?" Ling Xuan said in a lost voice. "The Ministry of Industry was stabbed to death. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu is the second official position of the imperial court, and he is in charge of the decrees of Lingguo Baigong, Tuntian, and Shanze, which can be described as an important minister of the imperial court, and Su Sheng is the son-in-law of the head of the Su family, and he is cultivated by the head of the Su family as an heir, which is provoking the court and the Su family.

"Let's go, go back to the imperial capital. Ling Xuan stood up and walked out, he understood that the sky in the imperial capital was about to change.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. We'll wait until tomorrow to return to the imperial capital. ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly persuaded on the side, the second-rank members of the imperial court are not safe at home, if something happens to His Royal Highness on the road, then what face do he have to see His Majesty.

"Tomorrow, I don't know what will happen tomorrow. ”

Ling Xuan didn't stop, just assassinating an official in the imperial capital was probably not in chaos, Ling Xuan didn't take the carriage when he came, but took out a fast horse and galloped towards the imperial capital.

Cao Huachun was helpless, and the three of them hurriedly rode on fast horses and chased after Ling Xuan.

......

It's night, the imperial capital of the south city

There is a brightly lit and heavily guarded mansion, and guards are constantly patrolling the mansion.

This is the residence of Yu Wenming, the squire of the military department, since the court dispute six years ago, Yu Wenming from a small county in the north of Xinjiang, directly into the imperial capital to do from the second grade.

"Tonight you have to step up your patrols, and you can't let go of any trouble. "In front of the main hall of the mansion, a middle-aged man instructed the guard to patrol was none other than Yu Wenming, the squire of the military department.

"Yes, sir. The guards took orders.

And Yu Wenming did not return to the bedroom, but went to the direction of the study, carrying his hands with a smug face.

"I called on the two dragon crossbows of the military department, and if the assassin dared to come, let him not return. ”

The Divine Dragon Crossbow is unique to Ling Guo, it is enough to shoot and kill the Ripping Earth Realm monks who have not mastered the [Domain] on the battlefield, and Ling Guo only has thirty Divine Dragon Crossbows, all of which are in the armory of the Ministry of War, and no one can call them without Ling Yang's holy decree, but Yu Wenming actually called the Divine Dragon Crossbow privately, which shows his presumptuousness.

"Your Excellency is too careful, the assassin should have hid immediately after killing Su Shangshu. ”

"That is, now in Shuntianfu, the city guards have people patrolling the streets. That man was crazy, and now he dared to assassinate the courtiers. ”

......

The guards guarding the gate of the mansion were chatting, and a white figure in the distance slowly walked towards it.

"What kind of person? This is Lord Yuwen's mansion, quickly retreat. One of the guards spotted the white figure and shouted.

But the white figure not only did not stop, but accelerated towards the front of the mansion.

"No, it's an assassin. ”

A guard reacted, raised the crossbow arrows in his hands, and aimed them at the white figure, among which two crossbow arrows made people feel dangerous just by looking at them from a distance, and they were the heavy weapons of the imperial court - the Shenlong crossbow.

However, he ignored these crossbow arrows, although there were two dragon crossbows in them, and the rain of arrows attacked the white figure, he did not make any dodge movements, but the arrows passed by him strangely, and could not hurt him in the slightest.

"The realm is the realm of the powerhouses of the Ripping Realm. ”

This sentence caused a lot of commotion among the guards, there are already people who want to escape, in the realm, life and death are not up to themselves, and only the realm can fight.

"Don't panic, everyone, this is not far from the mansion of the head of the family, this person uses the domain, and the head of the house will come soon. A man who looked like the head of the guard killed the man who wanted to escape with a single sword, and then said loudly.

Sure enough, hearing this, those guards were relieved and wanted to hold on until the head of the family, Yu Wenshuo, arrived, but they obviously thought too much. The white figure rushed to the front of the mansion, and the guards saw his appearance clearly, a middle-aged man in white, with a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

The sword scabbard in the white-clothed middle-aged man's hand trembled slightly, several sword lights flew out, dozens of good heads flew out, and these guards were in different places in an instant.

"I'll take these two dragon crossbows. ”

The middle-aged man in white casually took the Shenlong crossbow into the Qiankun bag on his waist, and then walked towards the mansion, and all the people he met on the road died, and none of them survived.

Yu Wenming in the study, counting the silver tickets in his hand, he took advantage of his position to sell the ordnance stored by the military department through the black market, and made a lot of money in the past few years.

Of course, most of the money he earned had to be handed over to the master's family, and tomorrow he would hand over the income of the past six months, and tonight, he would naturally have to check it carefully, and there could be no mistakes.

At this time, he heard the sound of the dragon crossbow shooting, and he thought proudly that he would be a great accomplishment by handing over the assassin's body tomorrow.

He was born in a family branch, and he has achieved the end of the second grade in this life, but he can find a way to make his son among the main line, thinking like this, he said loudly: "Leave a whole corpse for the assassin, the province can't identify it." ”

"Whole corpses, heh, that's a big breath. A middle-aged man in white appeared in the study, with a cold look on his face

"You...... Who are you?" Yu Wenming said with a pale face, and at the same time received all the silver tickets into the Qiankun bag.

"Someone who came to kill you. Saying that, the middle-aged man in white slowly pulled out the sword in his hand, and the strange thing was that this sword did not have a sword body, but when the lights flickered, a fluttering sword shadow could be seen on the ground.

"The dragon divides the shadow, the sword falls and forgets to return, the shadow of the sword!, how is it possible" Yu Wenming stared at the sword shadow on the ground, his eyes were crazy, "No wonder, the head of the family has not arrived yet, I didn't expect the Chengying sword to still exist in the world." ”

"But don't think it's so easy to kill me. Yu Wenming said, and took out a water-blue talisman from the Qiankun bag, which was instantly activated, forming a water curtain around him.

"Water shield charm. The middle-aged man in white smiled indifferently.

"Sure enough, he was born in a family branch, and he knows what the Chengying Sword is, but he doesn't know why. I don't know that the Chengying Sword can hurt people's three souls and seven spirits. ”

A sword light flew towards Yu Wenming, but it only caused ripples on the water curtain, and there was no water curtain, but Yu Wenming in the water curtain suddenly opened his eyes, and then his eyes were dissipated, and he fell to the ground, gradually losing his life.

......

A moment later, an old figure appeared in the sky above Yu Wenming's mansion, looking at the burning mansion, anger looming in his eyes. There was a sound of soldiers and armor in the distance, and the city guards and the people of Shuntianfu finally rushed over when they saw the firelight.

"Lord Yuwen, why are you here? A middle-aged man in an official uniform in the distance looked at the old man and said.

"Lord Situ, the old man's nephew was stabbed to death, can't the old man come to track down the murderer?" Yu Wenshuo suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice to Situ Ning.

"Lord Yuwen, naturally you can come to track down the murderer. A military general next to Situ Ning saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little wrong, and hurriedly became a peacemaker.

"Hmph, two high-ranking officials in the imperial capital were killed one after another, you two still have to think about how to save your lives!"

Yu Wenshuo threw off his sleeves and left angrily, leaving only two people with sad faces.

Situ Ning is the eldest son of Situ Wen, the left minister, and the current Shuntian Mansion Yin, the military general Zhao Fei, the general of the city guards, Zhao Fei is from a poor family.

It can be said that both of them are people that the five great families have to deal with, and this time there is such a big case in the imperial capital, the five great families will not let go easily, and the two of them are afraid that their lives are really not guaranteed.

......

"Brother Yuwen, is that assassin here too?" Yuwen Shuo was on his way home, an old voice sounded.

"Brother Su," Yu Wenshuo bowed, "A quarter of an hour ago, Yu Wenming's natal lamp went out. I went to check, and at that time, Yu Wenming's mansion had turned into a sea of fire, and Yu Wenming was unfortunately dead. ”

"You said it could be the man coming. Su Tian's face was solemn, and he seemed very jealous of the "man" in his mouth.

"Regardless of whether that person is here or not, in short, the two high-ranking officials of the imperial capital have been killed, and it is time for the Yin of Shuntian Mansion and the commander of the city guard army to be replaced. ”

Yuwen Shuo's eyes were ruthless, he didn't care too much about the life or death of a branch clansman, the reason why he was angry was because Yuwen Ming was almost killed under his nose, and he couldn't find the murderer.

"Brother Yuwen is right, I'll contact a few others now, Shuntian Mansion and the City Guards we must take down one. ”

......

"Your Highness, you see, there is a fire in the direction of Nancheng. Yu Han pointed in the direction of Yuwenming's mansion and said crisply.

"It seems that another high-ranking official has been assassinated. ”

Ling Xuan looked at the people and horses of the Shuntian Mansion and the city guards who were constantly heading south of the city on the street.

"Hua Chun, you asked Jin Yiwei to send the Yu Wenming resale ordnance collected in the past few years, as well as the evidence of Su Sheng's embezzlement of the canal and silver. I'm afraid tomorrow's court meeting will be very lively. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”
