Chapter 13: The Assassination
According to the map, Zhao Guo is not far from the Sword Dust Sect, and at the speed of the Xuan Turtle traveling thousands of miles a day, it is only two or three days away, and Wu Dao is concentrating on cultivation while controlling the Xuan Turtle, and three days later, he finally came to the capital of Zhao State, Luohe.

As soon as he walked to the city gate, a group of soldiers stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Is it the Lord of the Sword Dust Sect?"
"Yes. He pulled out his jade plaque.
The leading official took a look at it and immediately said, "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”
There is no way to get off the turtle, and he sits directly on the back of the turtle, and the soldiers around him do not dare to raise any opinions.
However, the official was still more responsible, and said as he walked: "My lord, several of your companions are now in the palace, and I will take you to the palace first." ”
"How long have they been here?"
"It's been two days, and one of the adults said that another one will come to our Zhao Kingdom and let us wait at the city gate, and she emphasized that you came on a turtle, and sure enough, two days later, you came. ”
It seemed that they had arrived only two days earlier than himself, wait, two days earlier, that is, he hurriedly asked, "Then what have they been doing in the past two days?"
The official seemed stunned for a moment, but still said: "After the other lords arrived here, they first stayed in the palace, and after all the worshippers and ministers of our country visited them, they met with the king, and now they should rest in the palace." ”
Hearing this, Wudao felt that his heart was aching, this Jian Tianchen was too cunning, he originally thought that he was just trying to make things difficult for himself, but now he found out that he had already planned it, and now the ministers and worshippers have already visited them, I am afraid that the benefits have been given to them, and because he came two days late, he didn't get anything.
Looking at Wudao's distressed expression, the official asked in a low voice, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, it's nothing, keep leading the way. "Forget it, keep this account first, and I'll settle it with you later.
In the palace, Jian Tianchen was discussing something with Xia Luoyi and the others, and suddenly felt that his eyelids began to jump, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "What's the situation, why did your eyelids start to jump." ”
After a while, Wudao entered the palace, and the turtle was first taken care of by the guards, and he followed the main road as the official said, and when he reached the first fork, he walked to the left, and then he walked to the second fork and turned right, and the first room opposite him was where Charlotte and the others were.
He looked at the room in front of him, and always felt that something was wrong, because this was obviously not a place for VIPs to live, it looked more like a subordinate residence, just now he should have asked the official to show him the way, but the official said to himself that he was going to report to the monarch that he had arrived, hoping that he could wait for him, but how could he have so much time to waste, and he had to rush to let Jian Tianchen and them spit out the oil and water they deserved, there was no way, so he asked the official to show him the way, how did he know that this palace was so complicated, and he only walked a few steps, and he made himself dizzy。
Looking at the door in front of you, could they really be inside?
As soon as Wudao pushed the door open, he heard someone discussing something inside.
"Tomorrow is Zhao Yue's enthronement ceremony, and when the time comes, the people of the Sword Dust Sect will also appear at the enthronement ceremony, you go to attract their attention, lure them away, and then I will go ......" The voice came to an abrupt halt here.
Six pairs of eyes stared at the Wudao who pushed open the door, and I was dumbfounded.
Wudao was stunned all of a sudden, what the hell is this?
"Uh, haha, the weather is good today, everyone continue to discuss, I just accidentally went the wrong way, you continue, you continue. He said as he closed the door.
Then he turned around, directly took the Dao I clone back, and began to run outward, and the people in the room also reacted at once.
"Give me chase. ”
Hearing a roar, the door of the house was violently pushed open, and six men in black rushed towards Wudao.
Wu Dao hurriedly quickened his pace, these six men were all cultivators around the ninth order of the Human Yuan Period, far from being able to compete with themselves, if there was only one person, maybe it would be okay, and it would be a bit difficult to come directly to six.
He ran wildly and shouted, "There are assassins, there are assassins, come quickly." ”
The voice was transmitted far away, and several men in black looked at this scene, gritted their teeth, and turned around and ran back directly, it seemed that they all had some scruples.
At the same time, Wudao heard a sound of breaking the sky.
"What a thief, dare to come to the palace to make trouble. ”
Then, three sword qi flew from afar, passed directly through Wudao's side, and stabbed the six men in black.
As soon as one of the men in black saw the situation, he turned around directly, trying to resist the three sword qi, but in just an instant, the sword qi passed through his body, leaving only a ground of blood.
Immediately afterward, the sword qi attacked the other five men, all of whom were instantly killed.
After all the men in black were killed, Wudao saw the person who made the voice just now walking out from the side.
This person is a young man, his age looks similar to Jian Tianchen, and his cultivation is also in the Rongyuan period, wearing a white robe and holding a snow-white long sword, and his heroic appearance is extraordinary.
"Are you alright? The young man asked.
"It's okay, in Xiajianghu, thank you Brother Tai for saving your life, I don't know Brother Tai's surname?"
"Jiang Hu, I haven't heard of this name, oh, I remember, you should be the envoy from the Sword Dust Sect, in the Xia Zhao Sect, fortunately. The young man arched his hand.
Zhao Zong, also surnamed Zhao, seems to be a member of the royal family, Wudao hurriedly said: "But how to say it, I still have to thank you for saving your life, if it wasn't for you just now, I'm afraid I would be more than lucky." ”
"This is what I should do, I just came out of the court, I heard your voice, so I hurried to arrive, fortunately the envoy is okay, otherwise I can't afford it." ”
"But I didn't expect that these assassins were actually hiding in the palace, this is really dangerous, tomorrow is the imperial brother's enthronement ceremony, but there must be no more accidents, so let's do it, envoy, I will arrange someone to take you to the palace, I will stay and investigate this matter thoroughly, you see." ”
"That's fine, I'll leave these things to you to look into. ”
"Well, in that case, envoy, I'll take you out first. ”
After Zhao Zong took him out of this alleyway, he arranged a guard and asked him to take Wudao to the palace.
Looking at the back of Wudao who was far away, Zhao Zong was silent.
"Lord, what should we do now?" a man's voice suddenly came from the shadow in the corner behind Zhao Zong.
"What else can I do, those wastes, they were so careless, they were discovered like this, not only that, but they actually wanted to kill them, this is simply making trouble for me, forget it, you can rearrange people, but the plan has changed. ”
"Yes, Lord. ”
Wudao, who was walking beside the guards, remembered Zhao Zong's words and deeds just now, and couldn't help but smile, he was indeed very smart, but it was a pity that he forgot a little, the situation at that time obviously had a chance to stay alive, but he deliberately killed them all, this is really suspicious, it seems that this time the new emperor of Zhao Guo's accession to the throne will be very interesting.
