Chapter 388: A rake
Judging from the two black-clothed men who fought with me last time, this prince of Jin Yuanguo did not have any masters, but just in case, Ling Xiao and I asked Shaoqing's patrol route and immediately went out of the city.
The two of us chased along the route all the way. I wanted to warn Shaoqing before he encountered danger, but he didn't think about it, and when he ran to a remote place, he found that Shaoqing was fighting with four or five people, and it seemed that the action over there was also quite fast.
There were no other members of the patrol team around, only Shaoqing alone, which surprised me a little.
Ling Xiao was about to go up to help without thinking about it, but I stopped him, "Brother Ling." Do you feel it, Shaoqing's ghost aura is very strong, I don't think these people will be his opponents, let's take a look first. β
I'm also afraid that my identity will be exposed if I suddenly appear, and the other party will be wary of us from now on, if Shaoqing really can't defeat these people for a while, it's not too late for us to kill them all.
"Fourth brother, are these assassins in the same group as the one who attacked you and the big head?"
"I can't say it, anyway, judging from the strength of the ghost qi, it is indeed the same level."
These assassins and Shaoqing have only passed less than ten moves, and they are already powerless, and it seems that my initial worries are unnecessary. In addition to the ghost energy, Shaoqing's speed and strength are not ordinary, and he also has a strange ghost path, the dagger that those assassins stab at him. It's all inexplicably deflected. Brother Dong bites.
Whether it's me or Ling Xiao, if you really compete with Shaoqing one-on-one, you may not be able to distinguish between high and low. It stands to reason that Shaoqing should belong to a famous family like Naranno, but judging from the moves. Shaoqing's is more ruthless.
As I was thinking about this, I saw Shaoqing pull out a delicate short knife, and the blade was bubbling with purple gas. He skillfully played it in his hand, and just as an assassin wanted to sneak up on him from behind, Shaoqing turned around and stabbed the short knife into the man's body.
The assassin who was stabbed did not die immediately, he began to emit purple qi all over his body, and he fell to the ground struggling in pain, as if he was being slashed by a thousand knives.
Shaoqing's move shocked everyone, including me and Ling Xiao, but those assassins didn't seem to back down. It is estimated that they know that if the mission fails, they will face harsher punishments when they return. This is very similar to the man in black who bit his tongue and killed himself after I was caught.
An impatient expression appeared on Shaoqing's face.
"Something that is not afraid of death!" As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped backwards, quickly drew a rune on the chest of the struggling fellow with his short knife, and then recited a series of incantations.
As the incantation was spoken, the Assassin jerked to his feet, stiffened like a marionette, and attacked his accomplice.
I looked at Ling Xiao, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him, I didn't expect Shaoqing to also accuse the puppet, but the method he used was different from mine.
The accused Assassin was suffering as if he were suffering inhumanely, and he seemed eager to attack others to alleviate his own pain, and in the end he was completely red-eyed.
With each swing of the Assassin's weapon, his body swelled a little, and he was now twice his size.
Just as he attempted to attack his accomplice again, he was stabbed in the body with a dagger from behind by another assassin.
With a loud bang, his body exploded into tiny pieces like a punctured balloon.
The rest of the assassins were dumbfounded, not realizing anything at first when the fragments of the corpse fell on them, until they realized that their bodies had also begun to swell.
The men screamed in pain as their skin grew thinner and purple.
Four or five loud bangs followed, and all the Assassins exploded, and the corpses were reduced to pieces and disappeared when they fell to the ground, and even the nearby grass quickly withered.
Shaoqing always kept a safe distance, looking at the situation in front of him lightly, his indifferent expression never changed, his appearance was very cold.
At this time, a few guards came running from a distance, I wondered what these guards were doing just now, Shaoqing said a few words to them, got on his horse and took two of them and left, and the other guards also continued to patrol.
I opened the map and looked at Shaoqing's original patrol route, which seemed to be different from the direction he had just left.
After Shaoqing left, Ling Xiao said to me, "Why is Shaoqing's ghost way like this?"
"Vicious?"
Ling Xiao nodded.
"As the captain of the Snow Country Guardian Team, it's normal for him to know some strange ghost paths, and I don't know how to curse magic!"
I analyzed it for Ling Xiao, in fact, I don't have a bad impression of Shaoqing, isn't it good to have such a powerful person by Qingxue's side and protect the snow country?
Because of the scene just witnessed, the two of us were a little frightened, but we had to tell King SΓΉ about the prince of Jin Yuan immediately.
When we returned to the castle, we met the king directly, and after I had made clear what I had heard and seen, the king pondered for a moment.
"Don't make a noise about this matter, we don't have conclusive evidence yet, after all, he is the prince of Jin Yuanguo, even if he wants to be punished, he should be handed over to Nanxiangguo, you continue to collect evidence, if he still has action, he must destroy it to ensure the safety of other princes."
I thought the king would arrest him directly, but it seems that I was not thinking about it enough. Ling Xiao and I agreed to the king's request and left.
As a king, such caution in words and deeds made me understand why Snow Country, as a small country, can survive well in the troubled times of the demon world, in addition to geographical advantages, it is also essential to have a wise king.
The king held a ceremony for the deceased prince of Nanxiang. I never thought that there would be a funeral in the ghost world, it seems that as long as it is a nobleman, even if the soul is scattered, there will be these red tapes, but there are also ingredients for Nanxiang to see.
It can be seen at the ceremony that the princes of some small countries have begun to be apprehensive, they must be very curious to know what the result of their marriage proposal will be, if not, they plan to leave quickly, after all, no one wants to be killed if they can't get married.
"I can see that everyone is sorry for the departure of Prince Nanxiang, but please rest assured, my Snow Country will definitely investigate this matter clearly. The little girl also needs to consider the candidate she wants, and the results will be announced to everyone in seven days. β
After the king finished speaking, those princes were also relieved, I know that the reason why the king said this is to give me time to find clues, after all, it is not a good thing for the princes of other countries to die in their own country, if they do not investigate clearly, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this matter to make trouble.
Just as the ceremony was over, a herald suddenly hurried up to the king and whispered a few words to the king. The king frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure and let the herald go down.
No one seemed to notice the slightest change in the king's expression except me, and when the ceremony was over, they dispersed, and I was called by the king alone.
The king told me what had just been reported by the herald, told me of his plans, and told me to prepare.
Two days later, the king summoned all the princes and ministers in the castle hall, and of course our group, and Princess Qingxue was also there.
The princes thought that they were going to announce the result of the proposal in advance, and they were all very excited, except for two people.
One was the prince of Jin Yuanguo, his expression was very impatient, and he could even be said to be a little flustered. And the other one is Naranno, he doesn't care anyway, so naturally he can't be interested.
The king was the last to enter the hall, and after inviting the princes to take their seats, he motioned to me, and I nodded, and came to the center of the hall.
The others felt a little strange when they saw this scene, and I didn't want to be polite to them, so I went straight to the point and exposed the crimes of the prince of Jin Yuan in front of everyone.
After I finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall, and the prince of Jin Yuan was naturally the first to stand up, he pointed to my face and said, "What nonsense!" What is your intention to frame this prince with such red mouth and white teeth? After saying that, he looked at the king again, "Your Majesty, this person has no evidence, and his words are unfounded, you can't listen to the villain's slander!" β
Looking at his righteous words, Lao Tzu really almost believed him.
