119.The Strange Assassination (3rd Update)
Although King Shenwu has not returned, the rumors have already arrived in the capital.
In the palace, Xia Heng, the son of heaven, was already in chaos.
"Why didn't he die, why didn't he die, didn't you say that Mr. Zhuge went to intercept him? Didn't you say that the secret array killed people and was foolproof?
Tell me, mastermind, why didn't he die?"
Xia Heng was in a good mood, he accepted two concubines, and he was going to pay a private visit to pick out a few folk flowers, the feeling of walking through the streets and alleys, and seeing which beauty can be directly classified as his own, is really a great pleasure to be the emperor.
He'd wanted to do that for a long time.
Although the warmth of the northern land came late, it came after all, Xia Heng picked out the accompanying guards and prepared to set off, but it turned out to be like this.
At this time, the slightly chubby, seemingly somewhat elegant emperor was walking back and forth in the main hall, his steps were hurried, and he only felt extremely frightened in his heart.
Guo Langzi looked down at the cold masonry on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
"By the way, I also listened to you during this time, I worked hard, I didn't sleep well, the water conservancy and famine everywhere in the world were discussed with the ministers, and then I also gave money to people, and taxes were also reduced.
But why didn't he die!!"
Xia Heng thought that he was coming back, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, "Mastermind, do you think he will know that Mr. Zhuge was sent by us?"
If you find out, will you come back and take revenge?"
Guo Langzi was also a little speechless at this time, and sighed: "It is precisely because of the emperor's hard work, the silver tiger among the five tiger generals, Ma Jinzheng is leading the world's elite lone army, and is returning to the capital, isn't it the blessing of the Son of Heaven?"
Xia Heng said angrily: "What's the use? He is alone, he is alone, and he has subdued the entire rivers and lakes, and if he is afraid, what is the use of Ma Jin? Can he fight him?"
Guo Langzi shook his head and said: "This Shenwu King is really invincible, even the overlord of the previous dynasty is far from being able to compare with him." At this time, the emperor should be calm and not impatient, get ready, and go out of the city to greet him. ”
Xia Heng was stunned: "I went to greet him? He killed the rivers and lakes and regarded him as a tyrant, and I still went to greet him?"
Guo Langzi said: "This time, that time, bow your head when you should bow your head, the dragon follows the trend, can be big and small, hidden is hidden under the waves, and swallows clouds and spits fog." ”
Xia Heng was very anxious, "No, I want to kill him, he won't die, I'm not at peace, I can't live this life, like a man's back, like a fish in my throat, I can't eat and sleep restlessly, mastermind, you have a way, right, you must have a way!"
Guo Langzi sighed lightly, "It's not that there is no way, but the minister doesn't know how powerful the Shenwu King is now, so please bear with the emperor first, and wait until the investigation is clear, and then it's not too late to do it." ”
Xia Heng said angrily: "He returned to the capital, how can I investigate?"
Guo Langzi said: "Fiefdom, let him pick a fief, give it to him anywhere." Other than that, we may not have been without the chips. ”
The Son of Heaven hurriedly asked, "What chips?"
Guo Langzi smiled and said, "Does the Son of Heaven remember the fire in the Imperial Palace and the attacking assassins some time ago?"
The Son of Heaven said: "Yes, those assassins are menacing, if it weren't for the heavenly soldiers and generals later, I might have been assassinated by them." ”
Guo Langzi said: "Among the arrested assassins, there is one named Wang Jiuying. If we use her as bait, do you think the Divine Warrior King will fight in the place we choose?
My Water Mirror Palace and the Tang Sect among the three gates of the rivers and lakes, the Momen have a very good relationship, but it is the way of the formation, the art of the mechanism, it may not be impossible to take him.
It's just that I don't know if the emperor is willing to gamble. ”
Xia Heng pondered for a moment, "I know that palace maid, you take me to see it first." ”
Guo Langzi nodded and said, "The emperor comes with me." ”
Walking through a pendulum gate, along a long corridor full of carved beams and paintings, the air gradually became cold, and a rockery was the entrance to the underground prison, with simple traps arranged on all sides, and some braziers that could be lit late at night.
In this prison, there are at least 100 weavers patrolling back and forth every day, and the wardens and jailers in the prison are all masters, usually equipped with one long and three guards, and they are changed every three months.
At this time, the warden on duty was the "Dapeng Hand" Zhang Zhijian, a grandmaster-level figure, who practiced the eagle claw skill into the realm, and then combined with his own thoughts and learning, found another way, and created a higher-level Dapeng hand.
Zhang Zhijian naturally knew that the emperor and the mastermind of the Water Mirror Palace were coming, and they had already greeted each other outside, this man with a solemn face and a stone blue suit had big hands, but at this time, he hugged his fists and knelt down on one knee and said: "See the emperor for his humble duties." ”
Xia Heng found confidence at this time, and then said, "Pingsheng, take me to see." ”
"Yes. ”
Then the four jailers dispersed, protecting the Son of Heaven and the mastermind left and right, and on the inner layer, there were still four heavenly soldiers and generals brought by the Son of Heaven to prevent accidents.
There was some humidity in the long corridor, and the further you went, the more rancid it became, but fortunately the blazing brazier gave some warmth and light.
Bang dang.
The door of the execution chamber was opened, and the high temperature distorted the air, and the heat wave and red light on his face made Xia Heng take half a step back, but Guo Langzi just rightly pressed his right hand against the back of the Son of Heaven, which made him not show the meaning of cowardice.
Son of Heaven, do not lose your majesty.
"Where is the assassin?" asked Xia Heng in a deep voice.
But he didn't need to ask, because the execution chamber of the prison was very simple, and five Assassins with disheveled heads were tied to a bronze pillar, their hands and feet were shackled, and three men and two women were faintly visible.
Bang dang...
Behind him, the bronze door was closed again.
Guo Mouzhu glanced sideways at Zhang Zhijian, the warden of the prison who was on duty at this time, and the latter understood, so he took a few steps forward and said: "The person the emperor wants to see is the one in the middle." ”
Then he scooped up a scoop of cold water at random and splashed it on the long-haired red-clothed woman who was tied to the copper pillar in the middle, the woman seemed to be unconscious, and was stimulated by the cold water, so she slowly raised her head, although the long hair on both sides was wet and sticking to her forehead and long neck, but she could vaguely distinguish a melon seed face behind it, but the previous low-eyed and pleasing image was long gone, with a hint of madness and half charm.
"It's her. Xia Heng immediately confirmed, staring at the woman quietly, this was obviously a bait that could lure the Divine Martial King anywhere.
In that case, I still have a chance.
The organs of the world, when the secret weapon is there, I will do whatever it takes, and I will get it all, and I don't believe that I can't kill a Shenwu King.
My little uncle, I can't live a day without you.
Either you die or I live.
His eyes were rolling and flickering, and he turned his head sideways to look at the prodigal son, but this look was so shocking that he almost left his body.
Because of the four jailers who came with him, the four long swords in his hands instantly pierced the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals he brought, but there was only one flaw in the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals' bodies, and if they did not attack the vital parts, they would not be dead at all.
But in the next moment, the four Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals fell.
"Dapeng Hand" Zhang Zhijian obviously also noticed the situation behind him, turned his head, and roared angrily: "What are you doing, rebel?!"
As he spoke, his hand did not stop at all, the bones of his right hand stretched out, and the muscles swelled, turning into a palm far beyond the size of ordinary people, covered with energy, and blasted towards the nearest person.
Guo Langzi is also a person who has experienced wind and rain, and hurriedly pulled the stunned Son of Heaven, rushed in the direction of Zhang Zhijian, staggered with the prison warden, and then began to grope for the formation talisman in his arms.
At the same time, his countless thoughts and speculations began to intersect, whose person was it?
These jailers are well-known and loyal, and they can never be bought, so what are they?
If not a bought, then a threat?
But even if it was a threat, how could they see through the only flaw in the production of the Heavenly Soldier at a glance?
It is impossible for the White Lotus Sect to have such great ability, so who is it?
Whew...
Guo Langzi's thoughts were interrupted, he only felt a pain in his chest, all his strength was disappearing, and his consciousness was also in a trance, and he raised his head with the last strength, but he saw a claw covered with flames.
The shackles on the claw had melted and pierced his chest, and the other claw was clasping the head of the Son of Heaven.
After the flames, it was the charming and crazy melon seed face that smiled.
"No !!"
Guo Langzi roared angrily, but the next moment, he only felt that his heart suddenly stopped, and the last scene was that the head of the Son of Heaven beside him was crushed and exploded.
At the same moment, behind him, the head of the Dapeng hand had already flown up, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
The four jailers smiled eeriely on their lips, then twisted their swords at the same time, slit their throats, and fell to the warden's side.
