Chapter 108: Atonement for the Teacher
Cheng Yangxi said blankly: "This, how can I know? Your Majesty, I remember very clearly that my master came and went without a trace. β
King Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Good one-"
As soon as he spoke, Lu Guifei pulled down his sleeve again.
King Wu held back his anger again, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Then do you know the purpose of the widow summoning you today?"
Cheng Yangxi glanced at the yellow-shirted woman beside him and said, "This is Princess Xuan'er of Qi Kingdom, right? Could it be that the king wants to discuss with me about tomorrow's martial arts competition?"
The woman in the yellow shirt glanced at Cheng Yangxi in surprise.
King Wu found a lower-level martial arts cultivator as one of the candidates for tomorrow's martial arts competition?
King Wu's forehead was bruised.
This time, he finally endured it on his own.
After looking at Cheng Yangxi for a moment, Wu Wang continued: "It seems that you still don't know. In this case, the widow will be straightforward. The widow's personal guard, Su Zhe, the head of Su Mansion, was killed last night on the way back to Su Mansion. β
"Hiss!" Cheng Yangxi gasped and said with a shocked expression, "How is it possible?" I have studied with him, and I know his strength very well! In our Southern Wu Kingdom, no, it is the entire Five Great Dynasties, and he is also the number one master, right? Who has the ability to kill him?"
The corners of King Wu's mouth twitched slightly: "Su Zhe is very strong, but he can't be the first in the Southern Wu Kingdom, let alone the Five Kingdoms! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed on the way home!"
Cheng Yangxi's eyes widened, and he said with an unbelievable expression: "Lord Su Zhe is really dead? What kind of peerless master can do such a thing! The scene must be wonderful! Your Majesty, I want to go to the scene now!"
King Wu saw that Cheng Yangxi didn't know what to ask, but he still asked himself, and he had a headache.
Pointing to the middle-aged man wearing a heavy helmet on the right side of the council hall, behind Yang Yuan, King Wu said, "This is Yang Shuo, the commander of the Praetorian Guard. Yang Shuo, you talk to him!"
Yang Shuo walked out, saluted King Wu, and said to Cheng Yangxi: "Su Zhe was killed yesterday at about the turn of Xuhai. There were no traces of battle at the scene of the killing, which shows that the two men fought very rarely. I boldly estimate that there are only two moves!"
"One move is in the abdomen, pierced by a sharp weapon. The sharp weapon was very sharp, and it easily broke through the medium-grade treasure-level armor that Su Zhe was wearing. β
"There's one more trick in the headβ"
When Yang Shuo said this, his face was also very ugly: "The head was directly smashed." It can be seen that the opponent's skills and techniques for fists and palms are profound and abnormal. β
"In addition, Su Zhe's terrifying mastery of tracelessness and stealth techniques, as a member of the Yang family, I have a deep understanding. When he competed with Yang Lan, the daughter of my Yang family, no one in my Yang family's army saw his traces. β
"And Su Zhe was killed in two moves, which shows that the opponent's body technique and stealth technique are not inferior to him!"
"To sum up the above three points, proficient in swordsmanship, fist skills, stealth techniques and body techniques, coupled with Su Zhe's own cultivation and strength, it can be judged that the person who killed Su Zhe should be an all-powerful, or in other words, close to an all-powerful martial god. β
"I heard the king say that you have always claimed that you are an all-round genius, and your master is an all-round martial god. β
"Therefore, the king summoned you and wanted you to call your master over to the court. β
"Those who can kill Su Zhe, in my Southern Wu Kingdom, can think of no one else except your master. β
Everyone else also looked at Cheng Yangxi with burning eyes.
Possess the ability to kill Su Zhe!
This Cheng Yangxi's master is really terrifying!
Cheng Yangxi glanced around, met King Wu's angry gaze, and sighed.
Yang Shuo frowned and said, "Answer my question, Alchemist Cheng Yangxi!"
Cheng Yangxi pinched his eyebrows with a headache and said, "What do you want me to say this?" I think you are right. The one who killed Su Zhe should be my master. β
"Boom!"
The entire council chamber was in an uproar.
Cheng Yangxi's master is indeed the murderer who killed Su Zhe!
His master was able to kill Su Zhe in two moves!
Extremely daring!
Incredible!
King Wu almost rushed down from the dragon chair with his sword and roared, "Look for death!"
Seeing this, the others fell silent again, bowing their heads and falling silent.
Cheng Yangxi met King Wu's gaze without fear, and sneered: "Looking for death? So, the king is going to kill me? Then let my master turn the entire Southern Wu Kingdom upside down? It doesn't matter if I die, who has not died since ancient times! But what can I do if I die?"
"Can Lord Su Zhe come back to life?"
"If I die, you can kill my master? You don't even know what my master looks like, can you catch him?"
Hearing Cheng Yangxi say this, King Wu was stunned and froze on the ground.
Cheng Yangxi said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "Your Majesty, Lord Su Zhe's death is very undeserved. Moreover, the reason why he will die should be my problem. Last night, I told my master about my discussion with Master Su Zhe, and asked my master to help me refer to it, so as to improve my strength, so that I can be more confident in the martial arts competition tomorrow. β
Cheng Yangxi said faintly: "My master has always regarded me as a treasure, he must have mistakenly thought that I was wronged, so he killed Master Su Zhe and avenged me." β
"I'm sorry Master Su Zhe, I should not have written to him if I knew that my master would be like this. β
Everyone stared at Cheng Yangxi in horror with wide eyes one by one.
His master is simply a madman!
He actually killed his apprentice because he failed to learn from others!
Cheng Yangxi wiped his eyes, and his voice was a little choked: "But, what can I do now? Master Su Zhe is dead, can he still resurrect him by killing me and my master?"
King Wu angrily and helplessly threw the long sword in his hand to the ground.
Then he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and cried loudly: "Su Zhe, it's all the widows who hurt you! You are so loyal, without you, who will protect the widows like you in the future!"
The Great General Yang Yuan and the National Teacher Bauhinia Fairy who were hiding on both sides of the dragon chair had complicated expressions on their faces.
Especially the Bauhinia Fairy.
All along, she didn't want to kill Su Zhe to avenge her master!
However, she doesn't have that ability!
Unexpectedly, the enemy who killed his master would be avenged by that rogue martial god!
Is this the fate in the dark?
Seeing this, all the civil and military officials lowered their heads even more.
Indeed, in the entire Southern Wu Kingdom, it is impossible to find someone like Su Zhe who protects King Wu.
Cheng Yangxi said suddenly: "It was Master Su Zhe who was killed by my master, and I am willing to forgive my sin for my master." If the king doesn't dislike it, I am willing to replace Lord Su Zhe and guard the king from now on. β
King Wu wiped his tears and said, "Where is your master?"
Cheng Yangxi secretly rolled his eyes.
Damn, you're a faint gentleman, and you're still picky!
Although he thought so, Cheng Yangxi still replied: "My master can't find anyone, let alone send someone under the fence." However, I am the only disciple of my master, and I am also an all-round peerless genius. Protecting the king is not necessarily bad. Of course, if the king really doesn't like it, then forget it. β
Lu Guifei hurriedly said: "This idea is very good!"
