Chapter 028: Assassins
"Master Li Yuan, the doctor of Chu State, arrives - a rare night pearl, a pair of dragons and phoenixes and jade pendants, and congratulates the master on his housewarming. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Mr. Han Fei of South Korea has arrived--a pair of jade ruyi, congratulations to the master on the joy of housewarming."
"Zhao Guo's doctor, Guo Kaiguo, and his daughter are here to present a pair of precious blood jade, 100 gold leaves, and congratulations to the master for his housewarming."
"Mr. Qin Guoguan Zhongxiao arrives in ......"
As time went by, people came to congratulate one after another, and among the people who congratulated were envoys from various countries, but more people were ministers of Zhao State, after all, the Ethereal Villa was located in the territory of Zhao State.
By noon, the entire Ethereal Villa was overcrowded, and the thirty tables of the banquet were already full.
But even so, there are still people who come to the door to congratulate them.
Seeing this situation, Feng Rui kept smiling bitterly in his heart, he obviously underestimated his own influence, or the allure of Xianlu Elixir, and the number of people who came to congratulate him exceeded his expectations.
"The King Arrives ......"
To everyone's surprise, King Zhao was there in person!
The arrival of King Zhao shocked Li Yuan, Guan Zhongye and others, they did not expect that King Zhao, as the king of a country, would come to the door to congratulate him in person.
But because of this, it can be seen how much King Zhao attaches importance to Master Taixuan, and such a favor is really enviable.
A group of people walked into the Ethereal Villa, led by King Zhao, and a group of people who followed behind King Zhao, including many ministers of Zhao State, such as Julu Marquis Zhao Mu and General Li Mu...... And so on.
Seeing that King Zhao came to the door in person, Feng Rui hurriedly said goodbye to the guests and walked to the door to greet King Zhao in person.
"The king is here, and the humble house is full of ......"
"Haha-the widow has come to congratulate the master on his housewarming, I wonder if the master is still satisfied with the villa?"
In order to establish the Ethereal Villa, King Zhao was indeed attentive, after all, in just one month, it was definitely not an easy task to establish such a huge Villa in ancient times.
Feng Rui smiled slightly when he heard this, he did not answer positively, but expressed his intentions.
"If you treat me as a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman."
"Haha-"
When King Zhao heard this, he immediately felt relieved, he attached so much importance to Feng Rui, and even did not hesitate to work hard and lose money, and summoned thousands of migrant workers to rush to work day and night, isn't it Feng Rui's words?
King Zhao smiled and said, "As long as the widow reigns for one day, he will not be inferior to the master!" ”
Hearing King Zhao's words, everyone's faces were extremely complicated, even Li Mu was the same, counting all dynasties and generations, how many people could get such grace?
"Hmm-"
Suddenly, Feng Rui's brows furrowed slightly, and a chill flashed in his eyes.
I saw that Feng Rui was lightning fast, reached out and grabbed King Zhao's shoulder, and took King Zhao to fly back ten meters in an instant, and at the moment when the two figures disappeared, more than ten sharp arrows roared and shot at the place where they were standing.
Looking at the arrow that was trembling on the ground and flashing with a faint cold light, this was obviously not an ordinary arrow feather, and the arrow was obviously quenched with poison.
"Someone, escort."
"Catch the assassin!"
"Protecting the King......
The sudden assassination incident immediately shocked everyone present, and no one expected that in the Ethereal Villa, someone would dare to blatantly assassinate King Zhao.
And with Li Mu's loud shout, a group of guards hurriedly protected King Zhao in the middle.
"Humph!"
Feng Rui suddenly snorted coldly, under his spiritual sense, there were ten assassins five hundred meters away in the distance, perhaps because of the failure of the assassination, the ten assassins were preparing to retreat.
Feng Rui was extremely angry in his heart, someone dared to assassinate him, if he hadn't reacted quickly just now, I am afraid that King Zhao would have died, and he would definitely be seriously injured.
I saw Feng Rui's figure flicker, disappearing in an instant, when Feng Rui reappeared, he had appeared five hundred meters away, Feng Rui waved his right hand, ten invisible wind blades burst out, and the crossbows in the hands of the ten assassins suddenly broke.
At this time, Li Mu arrived with a group of guards and directly subdued the ten assassins.
"Who are you?"
In the face of Li Mu's questioning, none of the ten assassins spoke, and these people were obviously dead.
"Let me come!"
Feng Rui walked up to an assassin and saw a ghostly light flash in his eyes, staring into the eyes of one of the dead soldiers, Feng Rui's voice was low and strange, like a magic sound coming from the abyss underground.
"Who are you, who sent you to assassinate this seat and King Zhao?"
"I'll wait...... We are the subordinates of the Marquis of Julu, the Marquis of Zhao, and it is the Marquis of Zhao who sent us to assassinate the master and the King of Zhao......"
The assassin who looked at Feng Rui first struggled, then his eyes glazed over, and he answered Feng Rui's question with a stupid expression.
In fact, Feng Rui didn't use any means, he just hypnotized this assassin, after all, with Feng Rui's huge spiritual sense, it was still very easy to hypnotize an ordinary person.
The expressions of everyone present changed, it turned out that Zhao Mu sent someone to assassinate King Zhao and the master, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhao Mu beside King Zhao, and Li Mu directly pulled out his sword and put it on Zhao Mu's neck.
"Why assassinate the king and the guru?"
"Humph! Kill me! I'm just a stand-in for Hou Ye, Hou Ye has already gathered soldiers and horses, and now the entire Ethereal Peak has been surrounded by 10,000 troops, just wait to get rid of you people who are in the way, the entire Zhao country will be under the control of Hou Ye, why die for Hou Ye's great cause? I'm waiting for you underground...... Haha......"
The stand-in is almost exactly the same as Zhao Mu, and there is no difference in temperament, and the words of the stand-in undoubtedly confirm that the assassin just now was indeed sent by Zhao Mu, and the purpose was also to assassinate King Zhao and the master.
Feng Rui vaguely understood why Zhao Mu wanted to kill him, it was nothing more than that he was blocking Zhao Mu's way.
Zhao Mu ...... He's so bold......"
King Zhao's face was pale at this time, he obviously didn't expect that Zhao Mu, whom he had always trusted, would send a dead man to assassinate him.
And Zhao Mu's ambition is obviously huge, and he is ready to wipe out everyone present, once King Zhao and Li Mu die, maybe Zhao Mu can really succeed in usurping the throne.
"There is one thing that the king may not know, in fact, Zhao Mu is the illegitimate son of Chun Shenjun of Chu State, Chun Shenjun secretly sent him to lurk in Zhao State for many years, the purpose is to subvert the political power of Zhao State, but there is no evidence of poor Dao, so he has not reported to the king......"
"Ah......h
This news was so shocking that at least no one present could have imagined that Zhao Mu would be the illegitimate son of Chun Shenjun.
Feng Rui pondered for a moment and asked King Zhao.
"King, Poor Dao wants to ask the king for one thing!"
"Guru, please."
"The secret recipe that the poor Dao handed over to the king, did the king reveal it to Zhao Mu?"
"Uh......"
King Zhao looked embarrassed when he heard this, Feng Rui couldn't help but shake his head lightly when he saw this, needless to say that he also knew that King Zhao must have revealed it to Zhao Mu, which may also be the reason why Zhao Mu assassinated him.
Before Feng Rui appeared, Zhao Mu was undoubtedly above 10,000 people under one person, but after Feng Rui became the master of Zhao State, it obviously aroused Zhao Mu's jealousy, plus Zhao Mu got the secret recipe of Xianlu Elixir, which gave rise to the idea of getting rid of Feng Rui, but I don't know if the mastermind is Zhao Mu himself, or Chun Shenjun of Chu State?
However, what Zhao Mu would never have imagined was that even if he got the secret recipe, he would definitely not be able to refine the elixir, or the immortal dew elixir.
"It seems that I still underestimate the greed of the human heart......"
