Chapter 90: Assassination (II)
The security measures in the hall are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and no one can see any clues when there is nothing going on, but as long as there is a disturbance, all kinds of secret hands on the imperial side will be activated one after another, and quickly respond to all possible accidents!
With the highest person in charge of the Empire's security system personally sitting here, who would dare not do their best?
As soon as the few assassins who had turned into maids rushed out a few steps, more than a dozen powerful auras suddenly appeared, firmly locking their figures!
The highest strength among them is no more than the strength of the Falling Star Realm, and when facing a powerhouse who is several orders of magnitude stronger than them, they basically have no power to resist! It didn't take more than a breath to be restrained, and it didn't even cause much of an abnormal reaction from the people around it.
Wei Zhenhua made a vague gesture, turned around and walked towards Qin Qiyuan, and several bodyguards quietly surrounded him from all sides, surrounding the Supreme Archon and Beluccia, covering them to retreat towards the safe passage that had been prepared for a long time.
However, at this moment, several sword lights that exuded fiery killing intent rushed into the sky, and with the tragic momentum of death and indomitability, they strangled at Qin Qiyuan!
Empress Beluccia raised her eyebrows slightly, a playful look flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she exchanged glances with the palace governor. The latter held the princess in his arms, and several invisible energy force fields quietly opened, protecting the empress and several important officials of the Qingqiu Empire around her.
Outside, Xichen Qinglan's eyes condensed, her figure had disappeared from the place, and in the next moment, she had already appeared in the hall, and a huge coercion burst out, completely blocking the space of twenty meters around Qin Qiyuan.
Another chilling aura suddenly appeared, and a few essences shot out, only a few muffled grunts were heard, and the two gray figures fell from the air in embarrassment, and then were firmly restrained by the bodyguards who had been prepared for a long time.
The lights in the hall went out suddenly, and darkness covered everything! There was a burst of uneasy exclamations from the crowd.
Wei Zhenhua frowned in displeasure, and the situation looked like it was getting out of control. The guests who can enter the banquet hall, each of them is of extraordinary status, plus a large number of high-ranking officials and important ministers, any one of them has a problem, it will cause a serious diplomatic turmoil, and if one is not handled carefully, it may even affect the relationship between the two great powers!
"That's it, Chen Lixiong, tell them to dispatch!" He whispered to the young officer beside him.
"Yes!" The officer named Chen Lixiong immediately turned the bracelet on his wrist slightly, and an undetectable energy fluctuation spread out in an instant.
"Your Highness," he called softly, "Is there a Silent Star God of War level powerhouse on the other side?" ”
A second later, Xichen Qinglan's voice came from the darkness:
"I haven't sensed it yet, but the equipment they use seems to be a little unusual, give the people below a reminder, otherwise there will be a lot more casualties."
A tubular object about a foot long flew silently, Chen Lixiong reached out to catch it, looked at it for a few seconds, and frowned tightly.
Darkness certainly didn't pose an obstacle to the high-level Abilities, and he could already see what it was.
"Blow the needle!" He whispered to the archon,
"And the energy attached to it is a little weird, I'm afraid our people are in trouble!"
"Don't be nervous, it's not that far!" He said lightly.
The other party's target seems to be only the Supreme Archon, and he is not interested in other big shots, so as long as there are no problems here, there is no need to worry about getting out of control.
A few seconds later, the backup emergency light source was activated, and the hall suddenly became snowy.
It seemed that everything was going on as usual in the venue, and nothing unusual was found except for the fact that the maids seemed to have changed into some new faces.
Wei Zhenhua looked at the supreme consul not far away, and was relieved to see that the other party was safe and sound.
……
A not-so-clever assassination came to an end, and the bigwigs present had no problems other than a little fright.
And Empress Qingqiu did not pay attention to this matter, and the various commercial and trade negotiations agreed by the two countries went on as usual and went smoothly!
The empress knew the true purpose of the high-level of the Huaxia Empire, but to her surprise, Qin Qiyuan had never mentioned this sensitive topic in his many meetings with her, as if he had forgotten that there was such a thing.
"In the idiom of the Anthropocene realm, does this seem to be called 'wanting to capture the old and indulging', or 'playing tricks on the mysterious'?" Lori Silky once analyzed suspiciously,
"Has the Supreme Consul really forgotten this most important subject? If it's just for some messy business contracts, then why did he invite us over? ”
Beluccia smiled disapprerovingly, "It doesn't matter, right?" If they don't say it, we won't mention it! In fact, this palace has a hunch, maybe only when we return home from the end of our visit, His Excellency Qin Qiyuan will really open his hole cards! Let's just wait and see. ”
The palace steward nodded thoughtfully.
At the same time, the offensive of the Great Army of the Northern Hell Empire on the border suddenly stopped! His Royal Highness, who commanded the army, was said to be unwell and announced his return to the empire to recuperate. Therefore, the established offensive plan was frozen, and when it was restarted was to wait for the will of His Majesty the Great Emperor.
And those alien civilizations around the empire even stopped all provocations and began to wait and see.
For a while, the Star Sea World Realm was unprecedentedly calm.
……
"Oops!"
Xiao Junling, who was in a daze, suddenly felt that his head had been hit hard, and he couldn't help but exhale in pain, and his consciousness instantly sobered up.
Xichen Qinglan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him with a smile.
"Huh? Teacher! He said, "Where am I......
In the distance, outside the floor-to-ceiling crystal glass window, the golden sunlight poured in, and it looked exactly eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
Is it already the next day? He remembered that he was obviously drunk last night, and then was brought back to rest by Zhou Meng. Why did you wake up and become Xichen Qinglan by your side?
"This is the Temple of the Silent Star," she said lukewarmly,
"What? I'm very upset that I didn't see your pretty sister, right? ”
"How can this be? I ......" Xiao Junling blushed a little and retorted with little confidence.
Xichen Qinglan sneered slightly:
"Humph! Still say no? If it weren't for the teacher who brought you back yesterday, you would now have a naked beauty lying next to you, and you will have to be dragged into the cave by her for this reason, your name will be recorded in the family tree by the Zhou family, and your future sons, daughters, and grandchildren will be branded by the Zhou family after they are born! Whether they want it or not! ”
"As for yourself? In this life, he is a member of the Zhou family! Day after day, year after year, running around for the benefit of that family, bleeding, sweating, and exhausting! When you are old and the use value is squeezed out, you will be rewarded with the title of an elder and receive a not very rich offering until you die of old age! ”
"To be a cow and a horse, to be a happy life, to be a lifelong child! This is what happens to you in the future! ”
"It's impossible, Sister Zhou Meng, she shouldn't be such a person......" Xiao Junling defended weakly.
"Should?" Xichen Qinglan refuted mercilessly,
"Even if her affection for you is somewhat true, what does that mean? The huge family behind her is an existence where interests are paramount, cannibalism and bones are not spit out! As long as you have an unclear relationship with her, can you still expect to get out? ”
"......" Xiao Junling was silent.
He is not a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything, he is no stranger to these things in the reincarnation, in the eyes of those wealthy families, such as him with outstanding qualifications, but from an ordinary background, is basically meat on the chopping block!
Those with a milder attitude will give relatively generous conditions to solicit; With a rude attitude, they will directly arrest you and lock you up, and coerce you to work hard for your family! Anyway, you have no power or power, and there is nowhere to sue if you are wronged!
The Zhou family's methods are indeed tactful and peaceful enough, in order to keep him, the head of the family not only takes what he wants materially, but is even willing to marry the most outstanding daughter in the family to him, which is indeed full of sincerity.
But all this stems from the fact that they have enough use value. As long as he accepts their arrangement, then the rest will be up to him! After all, I have nothing now, and there is basically not much room for bargaining in front of the other party.
My teacher's words are not good, but they are completely possible! He dared to conclude that if he really spent the night at the Zhou family last night, maybe he would have become the son-in-law of the Zhou family now!
"Teacher, I see!" After thinking about this, he couldn't help but say a little apologetically:
"There are certain things that I really didn't think through, and I'll pay attention to them later, speaking of which...... Or you're the best for me! ”
A faint blush appeared on the beautiful face of the female god of war, like the morning glow reflecting the snow, indescribably seductive, coupled with the awe-inspiring majesty that was inadvertently released, which made her charm rise to a thrilling level.
"Now that you've figured it out, then I'm not going to talk about you anymore!" She gently held his shoulders and said gently:
"Those wealthy families have a virtue, you just need to improve your strength as soon as possible, and when you really grow up, you will have everything you want, why bother to scarce their charity?"
Xiao Junling was a little moved in her heart, Zhou Meng's girl did have a place in her heart, but she was not her everything. Only this beautiful, strong, and gentle god of war is truly kind to him unreservedly.
In other words, if it weren't for her existence, the Zhou family's attitude would probably not be as modest and euphemistic as it is now, and they might have been tied up by them with some shady means.
A smile bloomed on Xichen Qinglan's face again, and he said:
"Alright, you can clean up quickly! The Great Sage has heard about your situation and intends to see you for himself! I'll go with you when I'm a teacher. ”
