Chapter 440: Asking for Life

Sighing, the prince said, "Okay, don't mention this." Tell me how the southern Xinjiang is doing, and whether there is any progress in the matter of the son of the lord of the wild city. Others say that Nangong was killed by the sword, although I am not in Nanjiang, but I don't believe that people like General Nangong will go back to deal with a small son of a wild city. ”

Nodding, Linglong said, "I also learned about it through some means in Southern Xinjiang, and there are all kinds of indications that someone killed Long Yunfei, the eldest son of Long Xiaotian, the city lord of the Wild City. ”

Who borrowed it, although Linglong didn't say it explicitly, but the prince knew who it was.

"Also," Linglong said in a deep voice, "I don't know if the eldest brother knows, in recent years, a very secretive but very powerful killer organization has appeared in the empire. I heard that as long as it is below the Martial King, there is no one they can't kill. Even if it is a master at the level of a martial king, it is possible to kill the master of this killer organization. According to the information I obtained from the investigation, I suspect that the person who killed Long Yunfei was the person from this killer organization. ”

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the prince snorted coldly, "This killer organization, I know. It was founded in the imperial capital seven years ago, and its founder was the former second master of the Southern Academy, Zhuang Shu, who was claimed to have been killed by Fang Yin!"

"It turns out that the eldest brother already knows" Linglong nodded, and said seriously, "This Zhuang Shu is a very terrible person, all of his subordinates are sword masters, and I heard that every one of them is burdened with murders." ”

"Hmm," the prince said coldly, "This person, I have investigated, he and Fang Yin are mortal enemies. I think the purpose of his establishment of the killer organization should be to deal with Fang Yin. Even the name of the killer organization under him alluded to Fang Yin. ”

"Ask for your life!" Linglong said, "It sounds like a scary name, but it shows that this organization is not a good one. ”

"Yes," the prince sighed, "I wanted to pull it out for a long time, but it's a pity that Zhuang Shu is too cunning and scatters his subordinates, and the organization doesn't have a fixed location." Coupled with someone's covert obstruction, now, I only know that there is such a killer organization in the Empire, but I don't know where they are. ”

Seeing her brother's sad face and helplessness, Linglong couldn't help but sigh lightly in her heart.

As the crown prince of the empire, as the next monarch of the empire, her brother is undoubtedly qualified. Not to mention anything else, just from the prince's dedication to the empire, he has not yet started a family. His mind is all on trying to save this empire that is gradually collapsing, maybe he can't become a majestic monarch, at least he, the crown prince, has fulfilled his responsibilities.

Looking at the prince, Linglong smiled slightly and said, "Okay, big brother won't talk about this." I still know a little about Fang Yin, and I also met him when I was in the Fengyun Mountain Range. ”

In the prince's surprised gaze, Linglong briefly explained the matter, and then said, "In order to save Zifang, he spontaneously went to that dangerous place. I thought he was dying, but I didn't expect him to come back alive, and he was named the deputy commander of Dingbei by your eldest brother. Now, he has been crowned the Marquis of Dingbei. ”

"I see," the prince muttered, "I mean, why did Qin Shuang recommend Fang Yin." It seems that Fang Yin went to the Fengyun Mountain Range to obtain the Nine Yang Burning Flame Grass just for him. ”

Looking at Linglong, the prince said, "Linglong, what do you think about the addition of Fang Yin as the Marquis of Dingbei?"

Linglong's eyebrows condensed slightly, and after a deep thought, he said, "In the words of that holy decree, the son inherits the father's business. Since Fang Yin is Yan Yi's son, both generations of them have made great contributions to Northern Xinjiang. Although Yan Yi was only named a general of Zhenbei, his son has now done his step, and with Yan Yi's grace, it is not a problem to seal Fang Yin as a Dingbei Marquis. But ......"

"But what?" the prince knew that although his sister said that she often walked around, she was still very concerned about the affairs of the empire. She has her own unique opinions on many things.

Looking at the crown prince, Linglong said in a deep voice, "However, in the past hundreds of years in the empire, no one has ever been a marquis. Even the lieutenant general and the general Zhennan are just the posts of the generals. Fang Yin, although he is Yan Yi's son, he is only a junior after all. Compared with the lieutenant general and the general Zhennan, they are somewhat worse. Now that you have promoted him to the Marquis of Dingbei, will it give the people of the world a sense of flattering Fang Yin?"

"Haha" The prince laughed loudly and said, "I don't care if I please or not." As long as he Fang Yin accepted the title of Dingbei Hou, accepted my kindness, and was willing to help me. As the crown prince of the empire, as long as I can restore the empire to its former peace, no matter what others think of me, I will not care. As for what you said about Fang Yin and General Zhennan and General Zhennan, this is really good. However, you have forgotten one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Linglong, looking at her brother suspiciously.

With his eyes shining like lightning, the prince stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the sky in the distance outside the courtyard, and said in a deep voice, "Behind Fang Yin, there is a swallow wing! Wooing Fang Yin, not only to win him alone, but also to the forces behind him! And Nangong Jian and Lieutenant General, they will not be compared with Fang Yin." Because, Yan Yi is one of their peers!"

Linglong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood her brother's true intentions.

Although Yan Yin is powerful, it is somewhat inferior to the Yan Yi behind Yan Yin.

"Feng Yanyin is the Marquis of Dingbei, not simply trying to win him over. Instead, I used this incident to tell the world that in the empire, at least I, the crown prince, recognized Yan Yin and Yan Yi. The prince said in a deep voice, "What happened back then was a conspiracy. A conspiracy that has brought turmoil and instability to the current empire!"

In an unnamed town, in front of a dilapidated house, a figure quietly looked at the house in front of him.

The houses were dilapidated, with rubble and eaves in tatters. On the walls and at the corners of the eaves, there are layers of thick silk vines.

The corners of the wall are overgrown with weeds and vines.

The figure looked at the door of the house, where there was a plaque.

The plaque is tilted and covered with dust.

There are two big characters written on it: Zhuangfu!

"How many years have passed, when I returned to this ancestral house, I didn't expect to see this dilapidated scene. The memories of childhood, the beauty of the past, have gradually faded away. The figure bowed his head and said to himself, "My father is dead, and so is my brother." My mother also died of illness many years ago, and as a son of man, I couldn't do a little filial piety in front of me, alas, ......"

With a faint sigh, the figure slowly drew a sword from his hand.

The sword was strange, he was black, but it was a broken sword.

It seems that something has broken it from the middle.

"Zhuangfu, how can you come to the house without a home!"

A cold light flashed, and the broken sword slashed sideways.

There was only a slight click, and then calm returned.

Quietly glancing at the dilapidated house, the figure turned and slowly left.

A breeze blew, and I saw that the plaque hanging on the door suddenly turned into sawdust in the sky and exploded.

This figure is none other than the founder of the Killer Organization, Zhuang Shu!

Once the second master of the Southern Academy, he has now become the leader of a killer organization. All of this is just because of a person who was once called Fang Yin and is now called Yan Yin.

The four figures of the "leader" appeared beside Zhuang Shu, each of them dressed in white and carrying a long sword on their backs.

The white clothes were worn on their bodies, not only did they not feel elegant. On the contrary, there is an inexplicable coldness and loneliness.

"Say, what's the matter?" Looking at the four of them, Zhuang Shu said in a calm tone.

"Someone offered 100,000 taels of silver, and asked us to kill a man. One person said in a deep voice, "Southern Academy's hatred." ”

"Huh?" Zhuang Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "Hatred?"

"Yes" the man nodded, no more talking.

With a little nostalgia in his eyes, Zhuang Shu said slowly, "Qiu Yi is a teacher at Southern Academy, and he once taught me some tips on swordsmanship. He has always been a quiet person, and he has been staying at Southern College all these years, and he is a good teacher worthy of the name. Who would kill him? Moreover, it was still 100,000 taels of silver. ”

The man who opened his mouth said, "My subordinates don't know, it's the news from my subordinates, saying that someone asked us to kill Qiu Yi for 100,000 taels." The subordinates knew that the leader had been a student of the Southern Academy, so he asked the leader to decide. ”

After being silent for a while, Zhuang Shu said lightly, "Kill!"

The man was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhuang Shu, nodded, and said, "Yes!"

"Kill the person who paid us to kill the enemy!" Zhuang Shu said, "Although I am no longer a student of Southern Academy, it is the place where I lived after all. People can be ruthless, but they can't be unemotional. ”

There was a hint of surprise in the man's eyes, and he respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Yes, chief." ”

After saying that, the man quietly retreated.

Looking at the other three, Zhuang Shu said, "What about you?"

One of them said, "Someone offered 50,000 taels of silver and asked us to kill a disciple of the Beast Sect." ”

"Beast Sect?" Zhuang Shu pondered for a moment and said, "If you can do it without leakage, then do it." ”

The man nodded and said, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

If you can do it, do it. If you can't, don't.

For Zhuang Shu, the Beast Sect was a big sect after all, and he didn't dare to rashly rebel. But as a killer organization, basic ethics are still required.

Watching another person leave, Zhuang Shu looked at the remaining two and said, "What do you have to deal with?"

"It's also a person who pays to kill people" However, the price offered by this person is a little bizarre, and the person he killed is also a little extraordinary. ”

"Oh...... Zhuang Shu said. ”

"This person gave 100,000 taels of gold, and asked us to kill the deputy commander of Dingbei in Northern Xinjiang, Fang Yin!" The man said in a low voice, "He said, his surname is Yang"

With a raised brow, Zhuang Shu said in a deep voice, "Fang Yin!"

Slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, Zhuang Shu opened his eyes. said calmly, "It is worthy of being a member of the Yang family, one hundred thousand taels of gold, it is indeed very tempting." Tell him that we took the task. However, the timing of completion is up to us. ”

Nodding, the man walked away.

Looking at the last person, Zhuang Shudao, "Have you found any news about him?"

"Yes," the last man said in a deep voice with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "He appeared in the second city, and like the leader, he is now a martial king. His swordsmanship was very fast, and when his subordinates spotted him, his sword was pointed at his subordinates' necks. If it hadn't been for his subordinates who had told him his intentions, I'm afraid his subordinates would have been killed on the spot. ”

Putting his hands behind his back, Zhuang Shu said slowly, "Although your strength is not bad, but in front of him, it is not as good as that." After all, he was once the number one master of the Southern Academy, and even Shangguan Jianhong, who had not left his life behind!"
