"Your Highness has said that he will protect our family. In the crowd, a person wearing a Lingwu Academy uniform suddenly spoke.

"If you want Your Highness to protect our family, you also need us to do great things for Your Highness first. The man said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, it will be the moment of your life and death! Either kill Tang Peng, and His Highness will keep us and our families safe, or the operation fails, and we and our families will accompany His Highness to death, and there is no other way out!"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then said in unison: "I am willing to repay His Highness with death, and I will not give up!"

Today, I will not set up a banquet, but tomorrow, if it is successful, I and my brothers should drink all night, and if it fails, I and my brothers will sing the wine on the Huangquan Road, and it will be a pleasure. As he spoke, his eyes fell on the people in the front row, and said: "Among us, the cultivation of several of you is the highest, tomorrow's capture the flag, you must lead your respective teams as much as possible, assist and cooperate with each other, let our people stay as many as possible until the end, the more our team enters the top ten, the greater the hope of our action success!"

"Big brother, we all understand!" several young people in the front row bowed their hands in unison.

The man looked back and sighed, and said quietly: "Is it the glory of the ancestors or the broken bones, whether it is success or the nine clans, all of them will see tomorrow's battle!" As he spoke, he said with a straight face: "I'll arrange the details of tomorrow's Capture the Flag Race......"

The more than 40 people present formed a total of five teams to participate in the Capture the Flag Competition, and Shangguan Xiu could feel that each of them was not weak in cultivation, and it would be difficult for these five teams to be eliminated if they formed a group. There are also some people who belong to the stragglers, blending into other teams, waiting for an opportunity, and Zhang Chong, who has changed from Shangguan Xiu, is one of these people.

Now Shangguan Xiu has figured out that they did not assassinate the Son of Heaven to oppose the aristocratic system, but to help the usurper of a certain royal family.

In this way, the anti-aristocratic rally they organized was just a cover, but he couldn't understand what the purpose of these people was to go to great lengths to create an anti-aristocratic rally, and it was obvious that they didn't want to take advantage of the students who came to the rally, so why did they do it?

Also, what Shangguan Xiu wants to know most now is who His Royal Highness is in their mouths, this range is too wide, because every royal family has enough strength to support these dead soldiers, and now let him guess out of thin air, he has no clue at all.

The man carefully arranged the details of the whole operation. He explained in detail how the five teams should cooperate with each other, how the stragglers should cooperate with the home team, and under what circumstances they would sacrifice themselves to protect their companions.

Shangguan Xiu listened carefully and kept every detail of the man's story firmly in his mind.

Their goal is to squeeze into the top ten teams, and now Shangguan Xiu's goal is also to squeeze into the top ten teams, and only in this way can he stop the other party's assassination operation.

The greatest sin in the world is nothing more than the crime of killing the king, and the greatest credit in the world is nothing more than the merit of saving the driver, after Shangguan Xiu's shocked mood calmed down, he realized that his opportunity had come.

After arranging everything that should be arranged, the man looked around at the crowd and said, "Victory or defeat is here, I wish you all success tomorrow!"

"It's done!" said everyone in unison.

"Okay, let's all go back and prepare, don't go out together, go separately!" Under Brother Tu's arrangement, everyone present left the venue in batches. Shangguan Xiu was the last to leave, and when he left, only the three people standing in front were left in the secret room.

Faintly, he could hear them talking in whispers. "Your Excellency, you have to warn Your Highness in case our side fails to ......"

"There is no just case! Your Highness has been painstakingly planning for so long, and you can't make a wrong step. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, my subordinates will do their best. ”

"Your Highness doesn't want your best efforts, but your success. You also know that His Royal Highness has always had clear rewards and punishments, and tomorrow it will be successful, you can be the marquis and worship the prime minister, and tomorrow it will be defeated, you should know your own end. ”

Shangguan Xiu only heard so much, and he couldn't hear the content clearly.

He walked out of the house quickly, and when he looked out, the alleys were empty at both ends, and where could he still see an assassin?

He narrowed his eyes and walked in the direction of King Yu's mansion. But after he took a few steps, he felt that something was wrong.

Whether King Yu will be the Royal Highness in their mouths, Shangguan Xiu can't be sure, based on his understanding of Tang Yu, he thinks it is unlikely that it is Tang Yu. Even if it wasn't Tang Yu, he shouldn't talk about today's events to Tang Yu.

If he tells Tang Yu the news of the assassin, he will inevitably tell the Son of Heaven, and by tomorrow, it is not certain whether the Son of Heaven will appear in the Capture the Flag Race, and he will not be able to talk about the rescue of the driver.

At this time, Shangguan Xiu's selfishness prevailed.

He believed that he had mastered all the arrangements and plans of the Assassins, and that if the Assassins really dared to kill the Son of Heaven tomorrow, he would be able to stop them at the first opportunity. This is his perfect opportunity to make a splash!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiu stopped, turned around, and walked in the direction of his house instead.

When he returned home, he saw that the lights were on in the house, Shangguan Xiu pushed the door in, and looked up to see that Luo Ren, Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, Ding Leng, and Jia Caixuan were all there.

"Brother Xiu, why did you come back, we have been waiting for you all night!" Finally waiting for Shangguan Xiu to come back, everyone stood up in unison.

Jia Caixuan rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't come back, we all want to go to the government to report our disappearance!"

Shangguan Xiu was amused by her words, and he asked, "Why are you all gathered at my house and don't sleep so late?"

"Brother Xiu, let's discuss tactics again!"

"Wasn't it discussed a long time ago?"

"Let's make one last confirmation!" Luo Ren said with grinding his fists: "This is the last Capture the Flag Tournament we have participated in, and we can't get a reward, at least we have to get a good ranking and get a gale blade!"

The Gale Blade is actually an ordinary steel sword, but it was given by the emperor himself, and the meaning is different, and the reputation is greater than the practical value. If you take it out and sell it, it will be worth a lot of silver, at least you can exchange it for a spirit weapon.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, he turned his gaze and looked directly at Jia Caixuan. The latter was uncomfortable by him, she subconsciously touched her cheek and asked, "I have rice grains on my face?"

"Demi-Immortal, can you be psychic now?"

"Of course!" Jia Caixuan didn't even hesitate when he heard this.

Shangguan Xiu stretched out his hands and said, "Then you come and sense what will happen tomorrow." ”

Hearing his words, Luo Ren and the others almost choked on saliva, and Jia Caixuan also sneered and said, "It turns out that you also believe in psychic things!"

"Try it!" Shangguan Xiu said with a smile.

Jia Caixuan didn't talk nonsense anymore, she held Shangguan Xiu's hands and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, the two eyeballs the size of copper bells were only the terrifying whites of their eyes. Her little mouth opened and closed, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

After a while, she suddenly let go of Shangguan Xiu's hand, and her figure involuntarily took a few steps back, looking at Shangguan Xiu with shocked and horrified eyes. Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu took a step forward and asked, "Half Immortal, what did you see?"

Jia Caixuan stared at Shangguan Xiu and muttered, "Conspiracy, and death! And blood, lots and lots of blood, as much blood as a river!"

Her words surprised everyone present. Cao Lei was stunned for a moment, cracked his mouth and laughed, and said: "Conspiracy, death, blood? What are you kidding, the Capture the Flag Race is just a competition, and no one will die, and weapons are not allowed to be used at all in the Capture the Flag Race, so how can there be blood and deaths? Nonsense!"

Shangguan Xiu didn't think so, the target of the assassin was the current Son of Heaven, once he made a move, the scene would inevitably be chaotic, and I don't know how many people would be affected. He asked, "What else do you see?"

Jia Caixuan shook his head and said, "That's all." ”

Shangguan Xiu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Cao Lei shouted loudly: "Jia Banxian, don't you pretend to be a ghost and scare us all day long......

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu suddenly spoke: "The half-immortal may not be scaring us this time!"

"Huh?" everyone's eyes widened in unison, looking at Shangguan Xiu, including Jia Caixuan himself.

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "In tomorrow's Capture the Flag Match, there will be an assassin assassin!"

......

The next day, the Capture the Flag.

The Capture the Flag was held at the Military Yard of the First Army Academy on the outskirts of Shangjing.

The first legion of the Wind Country has a great background, his predecessor is the Plains Army Corps of the Wind Country, in the history of the Wind Country, the Plains Army is the most prestigious legion, invincible, invincible, the Wind Country can dominate the world, and the Plains Army can be called the greatest contribution.

The colonel of the First Army is large, the area is equivalent to a small town, and it can accommodate the training of 100,000 soldiers. (The normal establishment of a first-class legion in the Wind Country is 100,000 men.) ）

The annual Capture the Flag Tournament in the Wind Country will be set here, firstly, the venue here is large enough and the terrain is complex enough to conform to the purpose of the Capture the Flag Tournament, and secondly, the surrounding terrain is high and the terrain in the middle is concave, which is suitable for the Son of Heaven, ministers and ordinary people to watch the game.

The Capture the Flag Tournament is divided into two sessions, the morning one is equivalent to the audition, and 100 teams are selected from all the teams participating in the Capture the Flag, and then these 100 teams participate in the final in the afternoon. Normally, the Son of Heaven will not go to the audition in the morning, and will wait until the afternoon to watch the finals.

As for the rules of the game, it is very simple, all the teams enter the school military field, and each team has a circular territory with a diameter of about ten meters, and the flag of this team is planted in the territory. As long as the flag is still there, it means that the team is alive, and once the flag is pulled out and taken out of the territory, it means that the team is dead.

All participating team members are not allowed to wear weapons into the arena, and each person will be issued a wooden weapon (as for knives, guns, clubs, axes, hooks and forks, you can choose freely according to your preferences). During a match, if the opponent focuses on the key points with a weapon, it will be judged dead and must leave the game immediately.

This is the format of the Capture the Flag, to be precise, the Capture the Flag is not a simple competition of force, which also pays attention to a series of tactics such as vertical and horizontal, long-distance and close attack or close and long-range attack.
