Chapter 103: The Assassin
Although in many cases, Ding Qin will treat Fat Dun as a dog, and many of Fat Dun's habits are also very similar to dogs, but this does not change the fact that it is a green wolf.
The green wolf is a monster. It doesn't react to people walking around or approaching people outside. It will only react to dangerous approaches.
In other words, once Fat Dun'er makes such a sign of alertness, it means that there is danger here.
Ding Qin noticed the abnormality of Fat Dun and slowly opened his eyes. And in his senses, there was nothing special in the vicinity.
I persevered like this for a while. No one came outside, and there was no movement inside.
Ding Qin even had doubts about whether Fat Dun was mistaken.
Fortunately, after a while, Fat Dun slowly fell down again.
Ding Qin was still not at ease, so he slowly got out of bed and knocked on the door of the promised room next door.
The promise is just right now. He also sat on the bed, closed his eyes and rested. He Qiu was tied to the bed on the other side by him, and he didn't know if he was asleep or knocked unconscious by him.
After Ding Qin entered the room, he opened his eyes, "You just felt it?"
Ding Qin was a little surprised, "What?"
Xu Zhi promised, "A master has just come to investigate our situation here. I felt it. The man stayed outside our room for a while, but didn't do anything. I don't think it's a good one. ”
Ding Qin said, "I didn't feel it. It was Chubby Dun who felt it. ”
Xu Zhiyu let out a long breath, "In that case, the two of us need to be careful. I don't know if it's the Chang Mao Yu Party that is targeting us, or if there are other people. ”
Ding Qin said, "When the peacocks were caught by me, I said that they were instructed by a master, and at the same time, I also said that no master would let me go." Could it be that this is the so-called master who came to me for revenge?"
"It's hard to be sure. I would have liked to go in and find out, but now it seems that I can't leave tonight. What if I'm gone and you're in danger here?"
Ding Qin thought for a while, "Your royal province should have a way to contact you here." If you let them come out and check it out, won't it?"
Xu Zhinuo smiled bitterly, "The province directly under the province, although it is a cronie, but who knows if everyone is absolutely reliable? Not to mention a province directly under the district. Actually, since the other party knows that we are coming, it doesn't hurt if we don't investigate. Get ready, go straight to the city tomorrow morning and meet the emperor. ”
Ding Qin thought about it, and Xu Zhi's promise was reasonable. He nodded to the promise and went back to his room.
Fat Dun has been sleeping on the ground, and it doesn't seem to be abnormal. Ding Qin sat on the bed and breathed for a while, and was about to lie down to rest, when he saw Fat Dun suddenly stand up.
At the same time, a horn sounded in the window next door.
An obvious fluctuation of spiritual power was transmitted in an instant. This fluctuation of spiritual power is different from the promise made.
Someone else broke in!
Soon, Ding Qin realized something.
From the time Fat Dun discovers the danger to the time he hears the sound, the time between him is extremely short.
With Fat Dun's vigilance, his detection of danger is at least ten zhang away.
This shows that the comer has a very fast speed!
There was already a clear movement of fighting next door, and there were two powerful attacks and defenses, which shook Ding Qin's bed.
Ding Qin didn't hesitate any longer, picked up the dagger from the side of the bed, struck the water blade, cut the wall of the room between him and Xu Zhinuo, and jumped through the open hole.
And when he landed, he just saw a figure jump out of the window, and he disappeared in an instant.
The house was in shambles, and the fight just now was really fierce. Xu Zhinuo's face was extremely ugly, he turned to the window where the man had fled, and slowly spit out two words in his mouth, "Damn!"
Ding Qin didn't see Xu Zhinuo injured from the outside, but he still asked a little worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Xu Zhinuo shook his head, "I'm fine." However, He Qiu died. ”
Ding Qin's heart trembled slightly. He turned his head and looked at the bed where He Qiu was, and sure enough, He Qiu was already in a different place. The blood was still pouring down, already soaking a large patch.
"Could it be that this is for He Qiu?" Ding Qin's brain was racing rapidly, "If that's the case...... Could it be that someone who knows about the Five Poison Islands will come to kill them?"
Xu Zhinuo nodded, "Very likely." When that man broke in, the first target was He Qiu, not me. ”
Ding Qin frowned, "Isn't that a peacock also in danger." ”
Xu Zhinuo sighed lightly, "Probably, the peacock is dead." This person who has just come here is by no means below me in cultivation, and he is even very likely to be higher than me. And from beginning to end, he didn't release his spiritual power. ”
Ding Qin was really surprised. Without releasing spiritual power, you can reach the speed you just had!
Xu Zhinuo looked at Ding Qin and then looked out the window. "Forget it, we don't live here. For your safety, we will now return to the province. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to see the emperor. ”
Ding Qin nodded, and was about to go back to the house through the hole he had opened, but suddenly heard a few stunned sounds at the window.
The instinct to fight made him immediately alert, and he directly released his spiritual power.
However, Xu Zhinuo waved his hand, "It's okay." He went to the window, opened it, and saw a dove.
"This should have been put by the Vanguard. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the pigeon naturally landed on his palm.
On the leg of the dove, with a golden copper pillar. The copper pillar used a formation seal, presumably to ensure the confidentiality of information during transmission. If this kind of internal military information is not protected, once it falls into the hands of ordinary people or the enemy, it will cause the leakage of military information, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xu Zhinuo took off the bronze pillar and carefully unsealed it, and inside was a small note. After seeing it, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "This is a message from the army from there." It said that the peacock died. ”
Ding Qin frowned slightly, "Dead? How did you die?"
Xu Zhi promised, "Killed." The Assassin was a master and had no trouble getting in and out of the barracks. The other side reminded us that they were following us for a while, and there were all kinds of signs that the Assassins were coming to the imperial capital, so we should be careful. ”
Ding Qin thought for a while, "Then, it's probably killing people." Perhaps, it is the same person who killed He Qiu. Just like Peacock said, there are masters who guide them to merge with the Changmao Army. If it was the so-called master, he was afraid that the people from the Five Poison Islands would reveal his identity, so he would naturally come to kill He Qiu and kill him. ”
"No matter what, be extra careful." In the imperial capital, there are actually only a handful of people who cultivate like this. But people with such strength, everyone will never be honest with each other, and everyone is secretly scheming, so it is difficult for me to exclude who it is. You can rest first. ”
Back in the room, Ding Qin didn't sleep all night. It wasn't that he was afraid of the assassin, but that he felt that there were many suspicious things. Moreover, he vaguely felt that the whole thing might have something to do with his father's disappearance.
It's like a gut feeling, but it's also like an unwarranted concern. Of course he hoped it wasn't true, but he was afraid it would come true.
If that's the case, and someone with spiritual power cultivation at the fifth or sixth level of the second order appears in this matter, it will undoubtedly be a * annoyance.
With his cultivation of the first and eighth layers of spiritual power, it is simply impossible to make a name for himself in front of such a person.
The more Ding Qin thought about it, the more anxious he felt. In the end, he simply sat up, took the golden fairy fruit in his mouth, and began to exercise pranayama.
At dawn, Ding Qin opened his eyes. It was a long night. In another room, Xu Zhinuo was already wrapping He Qiu's body. After dealing with it, he used the carrier pigeon from last night to send a letter as well.
He wants to send it to the direct province and let the people of the direct province come and deal with this mess. After everything was ready, the two of them took the fat dun and walked out of the door of the inn.
The prosperity of the imperial capital is still the same, no different from the past.
It was not until the fourth layer of the gate was passed that Xu Zhinuo and Ding Qin were stopped before the royal forbidden area. Xu Zhinuo has a special status, and after he proposed to see the emperor, someone immediately went to report it.
After a while, in addition to the messenger coming out, an old slave was also followed. When the old slave saw the promise, he immediately burst into tears, "The promise, you can come back." Come and save the emperor, I'm afraid it won't work anymore. ”
Xu Zhinuo nodded, "During this time, there is Chief Lao Cao." After speaking, he turned to Ding Qin, "Let's go." ”
Chief Manager Cao saw Ding Qin's face, "Who is this?"
Xu Zhi promised, "The key person to save the emperor." ”
He didn't say that it was Ding Shouyi's son, or any other identity, mainly because he was afraid that Ding Qin would be turned away. Once that happens, it will take a lot of trouble to see the emperor again.
Manager Cao really did not refuse, and said, "Since this is the case, please come with me quickly." ”
The three of them entered the restricted area, and Fat Dun stayed outside. This is also the palace layered on top of each other, and after nine turns and eight turns, Manager Cao took them into a main hall and then turned into a bedroom. It's just that the bedroom is now empty and empty.
Mr. Cao walked to a vase, pressed the mechanism, and a wall slowly opened to reveal a passage. Not long after entering the passage, there was another bedroom, and with another mechanism, they arrived at the emperor's rest area.
The emperor was hiding in bed at this time, skinny as wood. However, even though his eyes and cheeks collapsed, Ding Qin still felt that he had a kind of majesty.
Probably, this is his imperial spirit.
As soon as Xu Zhixu saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and saluted, "Let the emperor suffer." Wechen has obtained the antidote, and he will immediately detoxify the emperor. ”
The emperor smiled reluctantly. However, Xu Zhinuo turned to Manager Cao again, "Chief, the matter of detoxification is very important. I hope that you will withdraw first, leaving only me and Ding Qin here. ”
Mr. Cao hesitated slightly. At such a time of great event, he had no precedent for leaving the emperor. In particular, he didn't know Ding Qin before, and he didn't know the details. "This ......"
