Chapter 318:
In the Northern King's bedroom, it was pitch black, and only a few sword lights and sword shadows were intertwined, making a piercing sound.
Immediately, outside the dormitory, a eunuch shouted, "There are assassins!" There's an assassin coming! β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the guards in the palace came at the same time, including the general of the northern country, Mu Bei.
"What happened?"
Mu Bei came to the inner courtyard of the palace and hurriedly asked the eunuch.
I saw that the eunuch pointed to the location of the dormitory and said, "There was a sound of fighting from inside just now, it must be an assassin!" β
When Mu Bei heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly pulled out the long sword at his waist, preparing to rush into the palace of the king of the north.
As the general of the northern kingdom, the safety of the northern king is of paramount importance to him.
However, just as he was about to lead the charge, the door to the dormitory slowly opened.
I saw that the king of the north walked out slowly, and the clothes on his body were a little torn and looked a little embarrassed.
"Stand down, Assassin, you've been subdued by Master Hong."
The King of the North waved his hand, and then, I saw that the guards had all evacuated outside the palace.
Mu Bei slowly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" β
The King of the North waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, thanks to Master Hong."
"I don't know, who is this assassin?"
Mu Bei asked.
The King of the North smiled slightly and said, "Master Hong, bring the assassins up."
As soon as the words fell, I saw an old man bring Jian Chen out of the dormitory.
I saw that Jian Chen's body was covered in wounds, and his arm was already blurred with flesh and blood, and it seemed that most of his arms had been scrapped.
Mu Bei had long heard that there was a peerless master beside the king of the north, who was hidden in the inner courtyard of this deep palace, and he would not make a move easily until the necessary moment, even if he had been in the palace for many years and had a powerful general, he could not find the trace of Master Hong.
When I saw it today, I was able to hurt the sword dust like this, and the strength of this Master Hong can be imagined.
"Master Hong." Mu Bei bowed down and said, as a junior, then he should have the appearance of a junior.
Seeing this, Master Hong said in an old voice: "General Mubei, but the important minister of the country, I can't afford it, I can't afford it."
After hearing this, Mu Bei said: "Master Hong, you should be old and strong, and with a few efforts, you have captured the first swordsman of the Lu country, Jian Chen, with profound skills, and the younger generations admire him."
The king of the north smiled and said, "Don't flatter each other, take people down, disturb my dreams."
With that, he stretched and returned to the dormitory.
Afterwards, Master Hong escorted Jian Chen back to the prison, and by the way, his hands and feet were abolished, so that he would not make any more trouble.
Now, Jian Chen's heart is like ashes, Master Hong's strength is far beyond his surprise, it is many times stronger than Mu Bei, he has long heard of Master Hong's existence, but he has always thought that this is just a legend, but he didn't expect that when he saw it today, it was his own person.
After Master Hong left, Mu Bei came to the prison, and he walked to the cell where Jian Chen was held.
"I didn't expect you to be able to get out, but if you choose to escape, you can save your life, let's talk about it, who is your inner response in this prison?"
Mu Bei came this time, mainly to investigate, who cooperated with Jian Chen to escape from the prison, this spy lurking in the palace, if he didn't get rid of it, it would also be a disaster in the future.
Jian Chen laughed.
"Hahaha."
"Mu Bei, you are a great general of the Northern Kingdom, how can you be so naΓ―ve?"
Jian Chen looked at Mu Bei, and then said: "Tomorrow, I will die, you will never know this secret, our spy of the Lu Kingdom, one day, will play his role and help my Lu Kingdom defeat your Northern Kingdom!" β
"Cut." Mu Bei glanced at Jian Chen disdainfully, "Don't regret it."
With that, he opened the door of the prison.
In any case, after exhausting all means tonight, he had to learn from Jian Chen's mouth who the Lu State spy hidden in the palace was.
"Mu Bei, come on, I'm ready to die."
Jian Chen regarded death as if he were at home, and he didn't care about Mubei's threat at all.
Mu Bei walked in slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily, I want you to live, you can't die."
In the middle of the night, there was a miserable cry from the prison, but no one cared about the sound, after all, the people who were imprisoned in the prison were all death row prisoners, and there was no problem with what kind of torture tools were used.
The night gradually passed and the sunrise slowly rose.
In the prison, Jian Chen's life was already dying, and there was only one breath left.
He was tortured all night, and he was injured by Master Hong, so even if he is rescued now, he won't live long.
Mu Bei put down the torture instrument in his hand, he looked at Jian Chen, and said, "Count your kid with a hard mouth, but you won't live long."
Jian Chen slowly raised his head, looked at Mu Bei, and said with a smile: "I believe that you, your northern country, are about to perish!" β
He used the last of his strength, and then passed out.
The injuries on his body are already very serious, and Jian Chen not only hopes to be executed soon, but it is better to die than to die so painfully.
"General, noon has arrived."
The guard at the door walked in and said to Mu Bei.
Mu Bei glanced at Jian Chen, wiped the blood on his hands, and said to the guards, "Take it away."
In the end, he still didn't ask for the identity of the spy in the palace.
Northland, Qinglongmen.
This place has already been piled up, look at the lively crowd, the announcement has been posted for several days, and the people of the northern country want to see the spectacular scene of the first swordsman in the Lu country being beheaded.
Xia Fan and Su Meng also mingled in this crowd, looking at the tiger head in the center of the Qinglong Gate, they all felt very nervous in their hearts.
It's the first time they've seen it, and it's only in this feudal society that this kind of thing is used.
"It's noon, take the prisoner!"
A soldier said.
Immediately, I saw that the crowd was driven out of the Qinglong Gate, and the purpose of this was to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos to rob the Dharma field.
Xia Fan and Su Meng left the crowd and touched the city wall of Qinglongmen.
Just as they had just climbed the city wall, they found that they were surrounded by archers who had already laid an ambush.
Fortunately, Xia Fan and Su Meng reacted quickly enough, if they took one step further, they would be discovered by these soldiers, thus exposing their whereabouts.
"It's dangerous, how can there be so many archers?"
The two hid in the corner, Su Meng asked.
Xia Fan glanced around and replied, "The reason why the ambush was set up is to deal with people like us who robbed the Dharma Field."
However, in their hearts, they all knew very well that these soldiers could not stop themselves from saving people.
Jian Chen was escorted up by the guards and placed on the tiger's head, and now, he was in a coma, and he didn't know what was going on.
At the same time, this time, Mu Bei, who was in charge of beheading Jian Chen, also appeared on the beheading leader.
"Listen to the order, noon has arrived, beheaded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the token in his hand.
Xia Fan and Su Meng were secretly observing everything that was happening.
Just as the token landed, Xia Fan jumped off the city wall, and Su Meng followed.
Seeing this, Xia Fan first used his mana to stun the knife and axe hand who controlled the tiger's head.
The purpose is to prevent him from cutting the sword dust.
Immediately, he said to Su Meng: "You go and save people first, and I'll leave it here."
After hearing this, Su Meng nodded slightly, and used the material control technique to pull Jian Chen's body back to him.
"Retreat."
She said to Xia Fan, after all, they had entered the ambush circle, and if they didn't retreat, they were likely to be pinned down.
Xia Fan naturally knew what Su Meng meant.
But Mu Bei is sitting here, how can it be as they wish.
Immediately, I only heard Mu Bei order: "Release the arrows and shoot the thieves who robbed the law field!" β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that on the city wall of Qinglongmen, the archers who were in ambush aimed their bows and arrows at Xia Fan and Su Meng, as well as the sword dust beside them who was in a coma.
Xia Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, I'll use my mana to protect us and use your physical control technique to send us out."
Su Meng nodded slightly, and then used the physical control technique.
At the same time, in Xia Fan's body, mana appeared, around himself and Su Meng and Jian Chen's bodies.
Feathered arrows flew and landed on the mana shield, completely cut off from the outside.
Seeing this, Mu Bei already thought in his heart, what kind of people are these two people, they have such a powerful power, they can't even get close to a bow and arrow!
And he also recognized these two people, the ones who defeated his army of bows and arrows in the village.
However, Mu Bei was even more curious about Xia Fan and Su Meng's tricks, because he had never seen such a powerful force at all.
It was as if these powers were far beyond his knowledge.
Xia Fan saw that these bows and arrows could not hurt him, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Immediately, Su Meng controlled the bow and arrows around the protective shield and shot them at the archers on the city wall.
After all, with such a large number of arrows raining down, she was also afraid of consuming too much energy in Xia Fan's body.
Soon, Xia Fan and his entourage, under Su Meng's physical control technique, flew away from the Qinglong Gate and were about to fly outside the northern city.
Seeing this, Mu Bei hurriedly rode his horse and chased him out, as the general of the Northern Kingdom, and he was also the execution official this time, if he let go of Jian Chen, he would have to bear a big crime.
And, at the same time, a pair of eyes were stared at Xia Fan and Su Meng, as well as the dying sword dust...
This person is Master Hong in the palace.
After receiving the order of the King of the North, Master Hong went to the Qinglong Gate, and after seeing the scene of robbing the Dharma field just now, his heart became excited, as if he had finally met an opponent.
