Chapter 16: An Assassination Triggers a Series of Events
This kind of temperament is not cultivated by ordinary people, especially the white clothes on Ximen Chuixue, which is not something that ordinary people can wear.
If he is not mistaken, it should come from a big force.
In an instant, Lu Buwei guessed a lot of things.
The origin of the white-clothed swordsman in front of him is by no means simple, but I don't know which side he belongs to?
"But that's it..."
Simon said as he blew the snow.
His eyes were full of contempt, his tone was a little lonely and cold, and he obviously didn't take this powerful Lu Buwei to heart.
For Simon Blowing Snow, there is only the living and the dead in his eyes, and nothing else.
Ever since he left his wife and children and returned to the Ruthless Way of the Sword, he has been like this.
Now except for Mo Li, everyone else is just scum in his eyes.
Hearing this, the corners of Lu Buwei's mouth twitched, and his face became even more gloomy, and it could be seen from Ximen's tone of blowing snow that 'he' was not good.
"Tell me the purpose of your coming here, otherwise the cultivation will leave here..."
After all, Lu Buwei was used to seeing big scenes, although Ximen Blowing Snow put a lot of pressure on him, he still reacted quickly and looked at Ximen Blowing Snow with a cold face.
What is this place?
Lu Fu!
His base camp of Lü Buwei.
No matter how strong a person is, when he arrives at this acre and three points of land, the dragon must be coiled, and the tiger must lie down, this is not a place where anyone can go wild.
If nothing else, let's just say that there are a lot of powerful killers in the net, there are a lot of hidden in this vicinity, and if he orders it all his life, he will appear one after another to attack and kill Ximen Fuxue.
"Hehe, it is worthy of Lu Buwei, who is a strange thing, and this calm color makes Ximen a little unimpressed.
But..."
Speaking of this, Ximen Fuxue glanced at Lu Buwei strangely, and seeing that his expression did not change at all, he said: "Lu Xiangye, there is an order from the Lord today, just let me tell you that there are some people you can't provoke, otherwise you would have been in a different place by now..."
Seeing that Lu Buwei's face was completely darkened, and his fists were clenched tightly, Ximen Fuxue continued: "Don't doubt what I say, as long as I want to, even if all the killers of your compass come out, it won't save your dog's life....
By the way, I want to remind Lu Xiangye, it's better to be careful recently, Xianyang is a little unpeaceful, don't know who killed him when the head is in a different place..."
When the words fell, Ximen Fuxue did not leave, but looked at Lu Buwei coldly, as if he was considering whether to go against the will of the son and kill this old man directly.
"It's not sure that you bother, you don't have the ability to do anything else, but it's still okay to keep yourself safe..."
Although Lu Buwei's face was gloomy, the confidence in his words was undoubtedly revealed.
"Really?"
Ximen Fuxue's face was cold, and his cold eyes looked at Lu Buwei deeply, and then turned to leave, but there was a word in the air: "Ignorance... It's really scary..."
"Ahh
At the same time, several sharp screams suddenly came from outside the door, which made Lu Buwei, who was about to get up in the room, shrink his eyes and look out in shock.
What the meaning of these screams meant, although he did not see it, was still very clear.
The words that the swordsman called Simon said when he left were a warning to himself.
Now, as soon as he left, there was screaming outside.
It is conceivable that the net killer who protects himself outside must have encountered an accident.
"Someone..."
Lü Buwei shouted.
For a long time, no one outside responded, as if they hadn't heard him call, which made Lu Buwei's already poor face even more gloomy.
He knew that something would definitely happen to those people outside.
Otherwise, the one who is in the dark will not fail to answer his call.
Looking outside, Lu Buwei groaned slightly, and walked outside.
Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he was also a martial artist with good strength, so he naturally would not be frightened by Ximen Blowing Snow and dare not go out.
But the moment Lu Buwei opened the door and walked out, his hair stood on end, and he came down with a cold sweat.
In the courtyard outside, there were all kinds of net killers, each of them was at the gold medal level, and all of them were characterized by a one-hit kill, all of them were swords in the throat.
What's even more frightening is that judging from the posture of these people's deaths, it seems that they have not reacted at all, and they have been killed with one move.
This shows how terrifying the white-clothed swordsman who left just now was.
......
Vertical sun, early in the morning.
The originally peaceful Xianyang Palace became noisy, like a vegetable market.
"Yesterday, Lu was assassinated, and it is said that many people died..."
"I've also heard that the courtyard is full of dead people, and it's very miserable."
"Yes, this time it will definitely cause an uproar, you better be careful not to be affected."
"Understood..."
Several officials whispered in a corner.
"Not only that, I heard that the second son Yinggao was also assassinated yesterday, but he was intercepted by the guards and the killer was killed."
"What? The second son Yinggao was assassinated, these killers are too rampant, right? ”
"Is the second son okay?"
"I don't know, obviously there is no news yet, and the specific situation has not been known."
....
Some officials loyal to Daqin said with worried expressions.
They don't want the son of the Ying family to have an accident, you must know that the people of the Ying family are the hope of the Qin State.
"By the way, a subordinate came to report today, saying that a lot of people died outside the city, and the identities of these people are not simple, as if they belong to a certain force..."
"It seems that it has not been peaceful lately...."
Many officials frowned, they wanted something unusual from these three news, and they thought about it.
However, no matter what news it was, it disturbed the entire Xianyang Palace.
"King, to..."
At this moment, a sharp eunuch's voice sounded, instantly suppressing the noise in the main hall.
Soon, Ying Zheng's figure appeared in front of everyone, he crossed everyone expressionlessly, and sat directly on the dragon chair at the top.
"It's time to play, ladies and gentlemen, please play."
After receiving Yingzheng's signal, the old eunuch beside him glanced around and said loudly.
"King Qiqi, the old minister has something to talk about..."
At this time, among the officials who favored Lü Buwei, there was an old man, who was in charge of the criminal law and belonged to a relatively powerful official.
"Speak!"
Ying Zheng said lightly.
"Lu Xiang, I encountered an assassin in the mansion yesterday, the assassin is powerful, killing and injuring a large number of guards, seriously endangering Lu Xiang's life, I suggest that the king needs to send troops to protect Lu Xiang's safety!"
The old man in charge of the criminal law said.
From the words, it can be heard that there is no King Qin in his eyes.
"The guards of Lu Xiang's mansion have always been tight, and they would actually break into the assassins, are those guards idiots?
How is Lu Xiang now, is he in danger? ”
Ying Zheng glanced at the old man beside him, and his tone seemed a little anxious.
"Back to the king, Lu Xiang's safety is fine for the time being, but to prevent the killer from attacking Lu Xiang again, I suggest that the king should send troops to protect him."
The old man mentioned sending troops to protect Lu Xiang for the second time, and his tone was stiff and a bit of a palace.
"Yes, King, I think what Zhang Xun said is right, Lu Xiang is the Zhen Guozhu of Great Qin, he can't have anything..."
"It is imperative to protect Lu Xiang's safety, and I ask the king to send troops as soon as possible..."
....
Next, the strength of Lu Xiang's faction expressed their stance one after another, hoping that Yingzheng could issue an order to send troops to protect it.
"Huh?"
Ying Zheng's expression did not change, and he didn't see anything abnormal at all, but there was a strong killing intent in his heart.
He silently glanced around the week, remembering these officials who were inclined to Lü Buwei one by one, and settling accounts with these officials one by one on the day he took power.
"Father, promise them."
At this moment, Mo Li's voice suddenly appeared in Ying Zheng's mind, which made his expression stunned, and Yu Guang began to patrol around.
What made him strange was that there was no trace of Mo Li around, but why he heard Mo Li's voice made him puzzled.
"Father, this is an opportunity, don't hesitate, hurry up and agree to them."
Mo Li's eager voice came to his mind again, this time, Ying Zheng heard it correctly, it was indeed Mo Li's voice.
He quickly understood the meaning of Mo Li's words, and immediately shouted, "Where is the Marquis of Wu'an? ”
"The minister is here!"
In the team of generals, a veteran came out, and it was Wang Qian.
"Now mobilize a thousand elite soldiers, hurry to Lu Xiang's mansion, Lu Xiang is the foundation of the Qin State, and there is no room for any mistakes!
Halfway, if a fly flies in, take you and ask. ”
Ying Zheng said coldly.
The mighty and domineering voice made the officials present stunned, as if it was the first time they knew Yingzheng.
In their impression, Ying Zheng is all submissive, and it is rare to have such a domineering day.
However, when the officials of Lü Buwei's faction saw Yingzheng agree, they all smiled.
"No!"
There was a gleam in Wang Qian's eyes, he naturally understood the meaning of Yingzheng's words, and then turned around and left, walking towards the barracks.
He knew that Yingzheng was going to do something to Lu Buwei.
It's just that what surprised him a little was that Ying Zheng would choose to do it so quickly, which was really a bit unexpected to him.
After Wang Jian went out, the palace fell into calm again, and no one mentioned the assassination of Mo Li, as if he had forgotten it selectively.
In fact, it is not that they have forgotten, but because of Ying Zheng's attitude just now, these officials loyal to the Ying family have not dared to speak out.
Soon, the court meeting ended.
Some of the scheming people left thoughtfully, knowing that the storm was coming.
.....
"Qi Yu Gongzi, there have been five batches of spies from outside the mansion, but they have all been secretly blocked by Mr. Gai Nie.
According to Childe's orders, Mr. Gai Nie did not kill him. ”
Wanwan's voice rang in Mo Li's ears.
When Mo Li heard this, he looked thoughtful and said to Ximen Fuxue behind him: "Ximen, you need to keep an eye on Lu Buwei next, if he just did something like a dog jumping over the wall, kill him on the spot." ”
Although the tone is flat, the killing intent contained in it is very strong, especially the last killing word is even more terrifying.
"No!"
The West Gate blows snow in response.
"Last night, Ximen suddenly made a move, which had already frightened Lü Buwei, and now his faction has forced his father to send troops to protect Lü Buwei, and the real heaven helps Daqin.
And after Lü Buwei saw Wang Jian send troops to appear, he would definitely think that his father was going to do something to him, and then he would definitely do something unexpected.
Next, Lü Buwei will definitely send a large number of snare killers to find out the news, and we and the palace are definitely the key targets.
This matter will be handed over to Mr. Gai Nie, Ximen, don't come forward, you just need to stare at Lu Buwei, and beat the autumn wind in front of Lu Buwei from time to time, so that he can be scared. ”
Mo Li's eyes narrowed slightly, he was completely a little fox, and he directly calculated everything.
"Understood!"
Simon Blowing Snow's expression remained unchanged and said lightly.
"Then Simon, you go first!"
Mo Li waved his hand and motioned for Simon to blow the snow and leave.
When Simon heard this, he bowed to Mo Li and disappeared in front of him.
"Wanwan, go prepare something to eat, Childe is hungry!"
Looking at Wanwan's boring appearance, Mo Li said.
"Okay, Childe!"
Barefoot, jingling bells, she walked outside.
"Father's safety is in your hands, I don't want anything out of the ordinary..."
Mo Li said to the darkness.
"No!"
There was a slight noise in the darkness, and then vanished without a trace.
After everyone left, Mo Li's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the sky in the distance through the window, and said to himself: "Although it is a little fast, with three years of planning, you can still stabilize the court." ”
Courtyard.
Gai Nie is sitting cross-legged at the door of the Child's Mansion, with one person and one sword, to deter all the Xiaoxiao who want to sneak into the Child's Mansion to spy on him.
The other side.
Lu Xiang's mansion.
"What's going on out there, why is there a big army here?"
Lu Buwei roared.
"Xiangye, according to those soldiers outside, they were sent by the king to protect Xiangye."
The housekeeper of the Lu Mansion said cautiously, for fear of angering Lu Buwei and thus being punished.
"Huh? Sent by the King? ”
Lü Buwei felt a little unusual, and said with a slight groan: "Go, tell those soldiers that they don't need to guard here, their duty is to protect the territory, not me." ”
"Xiangye, those soldiers said that they would not dare to evacuate without the king's order.
And...."
Speaking of this, the butler did not dare to continue.
"And what, go on..."
Lü Buwei yelled.
At this time, he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Now the Lu Mansion is not allowed to enter or leave, and they will provide any daily necessities..."
The housekeeper told Lu Buwei in detail what the soldier said.
"Huh?"
Lu Buwei's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his body exuded a strong killing intent, as if he was about to explode at any time.
"You go down first!"
He said coldly, and then pondered silently.
"No!"
The butler bowed out, and when he left the room, his back was already wet with cold sweat.
"You want to play with me, it's interesting, it's really interesting!"
Lu Buwei let out a sneer and said to the shadows: "Zhao Gao, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"Back to Xiangye, I think King Qin is bluffing, judging from the current situation in Great Qin, the strength he has at his disposal can't compete with you at all.
Why did he do this this time, according to his subordinates, it was forced by some officials in the court..."
Zhao Gao briefly said what happened in the court.
"Oh, I see!"
Lu Buwei nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Zhao Gao in front of him, as if he wanted to see the truth of the matter.
After a long time, he continued: "Let the people who collect the net go out, first, to investigate the situation of Yinggao's mansion;
Second, closely check the information of Yingzheng.
If there is anything abnormal, please feel free to report it! ”
"No"
After Zhao Gao responded, he retreated directly into the darkness.
