Chapter 70: Judgment

Yang Ze is no stranger to such things as killing, these things have repeatedly existed in his memory, and they are extremely profound. However, I can't help but be a little nervous about it.

From the first time he heard the name Shangguan Yan, he was already faintly the number one young man in Shanglin City, and his prestige was extremely high. The moment Yang Ze decided to set foot on the Yanchun Pavilion to face him in order to find out the depth of his opponent, he had already imagined that he might face such an ending one day. It's just that he didn't know that this result would come so quickly.

If it weren't for the memory fragments of the future, Yang Ze would definitely not know that Lord Yushi Shangguan Wunian had an eldest daughter before Shangguan Yan. I must not know that this woman died because of the son of Dezhao. I don't even know, because this old incident that happened in the past once became the cause of the development of the whole event in the future. In the end, Shangguan Wunian communicated with external enemies and lured wolves into the house, causing Da Ye to go to a completely opposite fate.

This is often the case at the beginning of many stories in the world. Sometimes it may just be a rift of discontent between two people, which leads to a growing chasm. Sometimes it may just be a quarrel, and it will become an endless ending. Sometimes it may be because of an old incident, but it leads to some kind of big event by mistake.

There are not so many deep conspiracies that have been lurking for countless years, and there are only faint accumulation of hatred, and the promotion of countless forces. In the end, under the activities of the Shangguan family, an extremely terrible consequence was caused.

If the estimation is not wrong, then the current Shangguan Wunian has secretly had too many innumerable contacts with internal and external enemies at hand, including the back road he paved for himself, his many private activities that touched the foundation of Daye, and the network he built in all directions. If there is no accident, Shangguan Wunian's eldest son, Shangguan Yan, will become a rising star in the royal capital in the next few years, and when he returns to Shanglin after three years of study at the Autumn Dao Academy, his heavy position will eventually evolve into countless killing karma. He led the army to besiege the three gates of Shanglin, and burned Shanglin City with a fire, and thousands of living beings were drowned in the sea of fire in Shanglin City, burning endlessly for three days and three nights. He smiled at the background of countless people running for their lives from the only city gate, slaughtered by his army outside the city gate, a long road of hundreds of miles, and the bones piled up like a mountain. This kind of killing feast eventually made him known as the "Shanglin Demon" by countless people who trembled.

In the deep night, Yang Ze leaned on the messy bushes behind a remote wall, through the long-torn crack in the wall, sniffed the fishy smell of the blades of grass beside him, and quietly looked at the side door of the Imperial History Mansion in the distance behind the wall. Tall birch trees are planted in the courtyard of the Imperial History Mansion, and those birch trees are like spears that pierce the sky. And Yang Ze had no intention of appreciating this strange scene, his heart was silently mourning for the tragic scene in the fragments of his memory, and mourning for the creatures that had truly passed away in his memory.

Shanglin City is still full of moon, the wine shop and dance building are still singing and dancing, people look at the railing, or high-five and sing, or vassal elegance. In the depths of the alleyway, there are the crying of children and the care of parents. There are people who open and close the door and return to leave their lives in peace. They have been living like this, either ornate or austere, and sincerely hope that all this peace will last.

Yang Ze also hopes that they can continue.

It was peaceful outside, so peaceful that Yang Ze seemed to be able to sleep peacefully against the wall like this. But there was no way for him to sleep peacefully.

In the distance, the sound of wheels rolling over the bluestone road sounded, and a long-distance car slowly appeared from the other side of the long street. There were guards standing beside the car, coming slowly. Yang Ze untied the short bow and crossbow from under his robe and held it in his hand, this is a powerful crossbow secretly developed by the seven places of the Da Ye Privy Council, which can fire three arrows in a row, the crossbow arrow is poisonous, the arrow body is sharp, and it can break the true qi of the body at close range. In fact, it is the first type of weapon for assassination.

Yang Ze grabbed the wall, jumped up, and crossed the wall like a gecko in silence, landing in a dead corner behind the wall, and at that moment he had a very strange feeling. I just think this street is surprisingly quiet.

But he didn't have time to think about it, Yang Ze quickly touched in the night, hidden behind the corner pillar of the attic that was closest to the Yushi Mansion to the greatest extent, holding his breath, but his heart was like water. The distance of the car is calculated.

The carriage of the Imperial History Mansion is indeed very luxurious, and there are lights in the car, reflecting the figure of Shangguan Yan at the curtain, and there is a woman's figure on the side. The two seemed to be drinking in the car, laughing constantly, and through the sound that came out, they could tell that it was indeed Shangguan Yan himself. The guards below quietly followed the car, looking around vigilantly, expressionless. Form a sharp contrast.

Having mastered Shangguan Yan's whereabouts, Yang Ze knew that this was his last chance before leaving Shanglin. The closest place to the side door of the Imperial Mansion is the best time to do it.

His hands must not tremble at that moment, and then use the archery skills he has trained during this night to shoot Shangguan Yan accurately. Otherwise, there will be no chance.

The car stopped at the Imperial Gate. Yang Ze swept silently along the shadows at that moment.

His entire body melted into the shadows, and it wasn't until he ran quickly to the half-way range of the carriage and emerged from under the eaves that the guards noticed something unusual.

Yang Ze stopped suddenly, the tail foot of his robe swept forward in the sudden stop, and his whole person was half-kneeling on the ground on his front knee, squatting firmly on the ground, and his left elbow was holding the bow and crossbow in his right hand, and three arrows had been mounted on the crossbow. He tapped the trigger in the first position, and a shadow flew out. Then tap the second position between the electric and flint stones, and then the third position. Three crossbow arrows swooped out in a row, swishing and shooting out without deviation into the curtain and shooting to the place where Shangguan Yan's figure was.

The guards around them lined up with knives. Instead of drinking at the first time, he got up and killed him. There was no sound of Shangguan Yan's arrow, but the sound of gold and iron clashing.

At that moment, Yang Ze already understood that he had fallen into a trap!

Countless torches suddenly lit up on the originally quiet pavilions around the area, illuminating the long street as if it were day. Behind the gate of the Imperial History Mansion, black shadows suddenly jumped up and stood on the wall. Look around.

Yang Ze soon found the sound of breaking wind behind him. In a few moments, the enemy had surrounded him.

The front curtain opened, and Shangguan Yan, who was in a brocade robe and jade robe, leaned out, and at that moment, Yang Zelu's eyes outside the mask had already seen clearly the inside of the car, which was covered with a precision protective net made of pure gold, which could only transmit light, no wonder it could block the crossbow arrows.

Shangguan Yan stood on top of the car, looked at Yang Ze wearing a mask below, and smiled faintly, "Yang Sanzi is so leisurely, he can't sleep in the middle of the night, and he actually plans to come to the Imperial History Mansion to reminisce about the past, and the old man also brought a bow and crossbow, and fed me a few crossbow arrows that may have been poisoned." If it weren't for the fact that I was naturally timid and had some precautions in the car, I am afraid that I would not even be able to meet Yang Sanzi today. ”

Yang Ze's eyes were slightly stunned, and he immediately understood Shangguan Yan's tricks. Today's assassination, if Yang Ze succeeds, naturally the entire situation in Shanglin will be turned over one by one, and even the future will be different. Shangguan Wunian, who has the support of some people in the empire in the background, will inevitably be in chaos, and those people hidden behind Yang Ze, such as the Daye Tianzi, such as the dean of the Privy Council who seems harmless to people and animals, can take advantage of this opportunity to do a lot of things, in the name of investigation to find out the evidence, and even take down Shangguan Wunian with the power of thunder, in the name of his collaboration with the enemy and treason.

However, at this moment, everything is different, Shangguan Yan should drink his name first, that is, he will immediately seal off any place for him to advance and retreat.

Yang Ze understood that at this moment, he had fallen into the most terrible quagmire that he had never entered so far.

But Yang Ze has never been a person who will regret in adversity, and now his most important thing is how to escape from this encirclement.

"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Yang Ze said lightly.

Shangguan Yan smiled slightly, "You must be very strange why I can accurately know that it is you, because when you observe me, don't forget that others are also observing you." From the moment you plan to do it to me, that's when I turn it around to you. ”

Shangguan Yan stroked her palms again and smiled, "Of course, you can continue to deny it, but when we keep you as a corpse, we will naturally remove your mask and examine it." I just hope that at that time, your face will not be destroyed so ugly. ”

Yang Ze could feel that next to Shangguan Yan in front of him, at six o'clock on the left and three at three o'clock on the right, there were extremely high cultivation masters, not to mention that they were also three experts at the level of the Earth Mystery Realm.

Yang Ze smiled bitterly, and at the same time gave birth to a glimmer of life, he noticed that there was a winged bird-like eaves in the attic of the back left space, as long as he could break through the distance of about three zhang again, and when he reached the cornice, it was very likely that he would hide the snow and flee frantically. At that time, even if the other party was a person with the cultivation of the Earth Mystery Realm, I was afraid that under the ability he had cultivated so hard to get out by relying on Zang Xuerou's strength, no one would be able to catch up with him.

Shangguan Yan's voice continued, "It's just that one of the questions I've always wondered about is how you could have predicted what happened on a rainy night outside the Yanchun Pavilion and on Xuanwu Street in Shanglin at that time?"

Outside the Yanchun Pavilion, on Xuanwu Street, Wang Zheng, the son of Wang Zhao, the general of Da Yezuo, was almost assassinated by Zhang Zhidong. And between the lightning and flint, Yang Ze disrupted this crucial link, resulting in infinite changes. This is probably a mystery to them forever.

This mystery, for Shangguan Yan and many people behind him, has been scared for too long, and they have been holding back for too long. and even make it difficult for them to sleep and sleep. If he cannot be released, I am afraid that it will be a heavy shadow for the rest of his life.

The moon is dark and the wind is high. The torches of the day crackled, and under the shaking shadows of the fire, Shangguan Yan quietly looked at the blue-robed man who was surrounded and couldn't get out, everything was so quiet that he could hear the needle dropping, waiting for the answer from his mouth.

After a while, the man whose face was wrapped in a mask for most of his face except for his eyes looked up, and he could not see his smile, but he seemed to hear some kind of laughter in his words, "Yes." I know. I know more about Mishi-sama. I know all about how to communicate with Anhui and Jin, how to reach an agreement with the Flowing Frost Country, and how to pave the way back, and find the backstage of the United Empire at a higher level, which is why I came to the door today and planned to kill you. ”

Yang Ze's words obviously immediately caused a wave of waves, sweeping the crowd of people who surrounded the front and back, and it was obvious that these things shocked some of the people who surrounded Yang Ze at the scene. Shangguan Yan obviously didn't expect this scene, a trace of panic and gloom flashed in his eyes, and said, "I think you really deserve to die for nonsense!"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding people immediately made a move, Yang Ze sideways avoided a spear that came through his back, slashed the wrist of the person who came with one hand, and at the same time as the opponent's wrist bone was broken and howled, he clenched the spear and probed left and right, pointing towards the endless people behind him!

Shangguan Yan had a bloody and cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, knowing that when a person was in the most crisis, he subconsciously wanted to escape from the opposite direction of the source of the threat. It's an instinct of the human body. And at this moment, for Yang Ze, who is facing him, Shangguan Yan is his most feared and biggest threat, since he understands that the assassination failed, he will instinctively flee, and Shangguan Yan has expected this step, so he will surround most of the manpower behind him. So Yang Ze wanted to break through the encirclement this time, but he was just using his mantis arm as a car.

None of the three Earth Xuan Realm masters standing around made a move, and they all stood high with their hands in their hands, with a grim smile, as if watching a humble ant struggle for his life. It's like watching a dog being molested in public.

As far as they were concerned, Yang Ze did not immediately restrain his hands, but bravely broke through the siege, which had exceeded their expectations, and at this moment they were even more happy to appreciate how he exhausted the last drop of strength under the drag of the guards around him. Then they will do it, in a way that will be remembered by people when they are dying, cut off every bone in his body and torture him to death.

Yang Ze's spear was fast, and if the guards in front of him didn't stretch out their spears to touch him, they would be very qualified to walk around him, consuming his physical energy like wheels, not busy with killing, but waiting for the moment when he ran out of oil and dried up. Some of the guards were still laughing weirdly, and there was constant laughter and heckling all around.

Yang Ze swam away at this moment. Closer and closer to the only place where he had life.

Two Xueliang long knives appeared in the space in front of him, one left and one right, and the spear in his hand drew an arc in mid-air, and the spirit snake generally picked two long knives one after another. In the agitated exchange of blows, the two long knives were picked back left and right, and the moment Yang Ze was forced to retreat, a single spear picked up a spear tip that stabbed from the oblique space, and the whole person took two steps back with some staggering. There was a mocking sound.

However, he had used this tactic to get to the best position to escape. Now is the time!

The spear in Yang Ze's hand was thrown out towards the crowd, and at the same time, the other hand was thrown out and thrown to the protruding eaves in the distance. At the same time, the body bounced off the ground and swept diagonally into the air!

Countless talents have woken up from a dream at this moment. Knowing that he had planned a route to escape, they shouted loudly. But I can't catch up.

At the same time, the masters of the Earth Xuan Realm who were standing in three directions immediately understood what he was going to do, and they all had the anger of being teased in turn, and flew in the direction of Yang Ze's mid-air!

The three of them were waiting for the moment when they surrounded Yang Ze in mid-air. The most unexpected mutation protrusion!

A white line in Yang Ze's hand in mid-air suddenly flew out diagonally from the ground and hung at the position of the attic spire, and the whole person trembled at that moment! The three great earth masters immediately jumped into the air in shock.

And he drew a half-arc along the pavilion like a yo-ball, got out at the very top of the circular movement, reached the extreme speed, and flew back towards Shangguan Yan who was standing in brocade clothes in front of the gate of the Imperial History Mansion like a powerful arrow!

In the brocade robe and jade robe, Shangguan Yan's hairy moment is coming!

The moment when everyone couldn't save them and screamed. Yang Ze flew above Shangguan Yan.

Shangguan Yan's eyes were so broken that he was dying and counterattacked, and smashed Yang Ze with a punch.

[Shield]!

Shangguan Yan's fist smashed into the white air shield of the shield technique that was overwhelmingly unfolding towards him in front of Yang Ze. The entire car seemed to sink down suddenly! Countless dust on the ground spread out, and the powerful suppressive qi blew Shangguan Yan's hair bun, blowing his long hair straight to the ground, and the air cover of the shield not only carried Yang Ze's true power, but also rebounded his own true power, suppressing him in place immediately, unable to move his hands and feet. It's hard to even open your eyes, and your mouth is full of air and your mouth is constantly bulging.

Yang Ze put his five fingers together in one hand to form a cone, and after the two heartbeats, the air shield dissipated, like the judgment of the demon god, and reached out to point his hand at the center of Shangguan Yan's eyebrows, who had no power to resist. The snow-white condensation power of the Hidden Snow Knife entered through his eyebrows and pierced out from the back of his head. There was an inaudible sound of bones shattering.

Shangguan Yan was shaken. The eyes spilled blood in disbelief in the soul flying.

Yang Ze raised his hand again, and the white line of Tibetan snow was soft and fastened to the tip of the tall birch tree in the Imperial History Mansion.

The whole person rushed to the sky in the crowd of locusts behind him, and jumped into the sky against the moonlight, as if rushing to a new beginning and a new era in his life.

In the countless screams behind him, Shangguan Yan's body trembled, and then he slanted from the car without vitality, falling heavily to the ground like a sandbag, and raising countless dust.

Yang Ze flew between the cities, although he felt muscle soreness and lack of qi in many places under such a fierce battle. However, the whole person is extremely comfortable and happy, as if he has left all the burdens behind. He can finally leave with peace of mind.

Yang Ze flew like a spider and flew with Tibetan snow softness all the time, flying over the noise of the restaurant, flying over the roof of the toddler in the midnight dream, flying over the eaves of the woman's Huaichun, and flying over the faces of those teenagers wandering on the long street that could not be seen clearly. He did not go back to the Qichun Marquis Mansion. Instead, they swept straight to the Danube harbor.

There was a big boat parked there, and Yang Ze landed on the boat. The crew members who were doing the final work all stood up to look at him. Master Hanzo, who was meditating in a quiet place, opened his eyes, "You're ready. ”

Yang Ze nodded.

Hanzo's eyelids were half drooping, "Didn't say goodbye to the person who should say goodbye?"

Yang Ze stepped forward and sat down next to Master Hanzang, only to find that he was wet with sweat, so he smiled heartily, "Originally, tomorrow was the deadline for me to leave Shanglin, but I am not used to seeing off countless people at the port when the time comes, and facing those family and friends who are seeing them off, it is just to increase my sadness." I'm going to go anyway. It doesn't matter if you start today. ”

Master Hanzang was stunned, then shook his head and muttered, "It was originally going to be very lively to bid you farewell, but it has become so deserted, you child, the degree of patience and open-mindedness, far beyond my imagination, the old monk will be your guardian and mentor this time, presumably the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao is so good, waiting for you to return from the experience in the earth and sea, and it may cause a sensation in Shanglin at that time." ”

Hearing Hanzo's words, Yang Ze moved with a strange expression, spread his hands, and walked to the bow of the ship.

The big ship sailed off the shore, slowly left the brightly lit Shanglin City in the tranquility of the waterway, and went out of the port, a huge ship with a length of more than 40 zhang at the mouth of the port stopped quietly, it was the giant ship of the Red Mansion known as the unsinkable emperor in Shanglin City, and the escort giant boat of Yang Ze this trip. Seeing Yang Ze's boat coming, the building boat began to shine and signal, and then slowly sailed into the waterway, one large and one small two boats sailed so quietly, slowly throwing the territory of Shanglin City and Daye, and also leaving the lives of countless people behind, and walking out of a completely different path. It's like sailing to a new hope.

The news of Yang Ze's assassination of Shangguan Yan that night made Shanglin immediately ignite and boil.

Shangguan Yan's death immediately attracted the Privy Council and the Gyeonggi Guard. In just a short period of time, Daye set off a huge wave, and the evidence of the crime of secretly collaborating with the enemy country was exposed one by one during the investigation, and the Imperial History Mansion poured into the Privy Council Secret Service and the Yulin Army overnight, and many people suspected of collaborating with the enemy were immediately arrested.

Daye resisted the border army of the Anhui Jin State, the camp of General Zuo. and the camp of the right general in the Gonga Mountains west of Daye. Wang Zhao and Qi Leyi, the two major generals, had already obtained the list of traitorous enemies from the overseer, and tied up several senior members of the army and joined the army, because one of them was still a person that Qi Leyi trusted very much, so he couldn't help but swing a knife and cut off the other party's head.

That night was not only the two major frontiers, but Shanglin City didn't know how many people's heads were lost under the wrath of the Son of Heaven.

The kingdom's clipper ship finally caught up with Yang Ze's exile ship in the next few days. The officials of the clipper ship were so excited that they didn't have time to eat a mouthful of food and drink a sip of water to replenish the supplies, and they were extremely excited and carefully looked at Yang Ze, who was currently famous in Lin City, and only read out the royal edict after a while, "Reading Yang Ze's meritorious work in catching thieves, God bless me Da Ye Qi Chunhou Mansion bounty of 10,000 pieces, and add the name of the governor of Wei Guo Yang Ze was exiled and said to be reduced to half, hoping that he would practice at night in the realm of the earth and the sea, and come to benefit Da Ye to approve this." ”

Holding the edict in his hand, Yang Ze felt that this Da Ye Monarch was still relatively kind.

(To be continued)
