Chapter 710 Assassination

Shangguan Xiu and Ed are both extremely smart people, although the two met for the first time, they formed a tacit cooperation with each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the case of 'being forced to be helpless', Ed could only accept Shangguan Xiu's conditions and promised Shangguan Xiu that within the agreed time, the army of the Jinsk city-state would stay in Jinsk City and not take a step out of the city gate.

Ed's compromise is really helpless in the eyes of everyone, Hailey is now in the hands of the Wind Army, and the Duke was also held hostage by Shangguan Xiu just now, and he doesn't accept other people's conditions, what can he do?

Of all the people present, only Ed's eldest son, Anthony Rainer, had the most gloomy and ugly face.

It stands to reason that Ed's dukedom should be inherited by his eldest son, but Ed's favorite youngest daughter Hayley, and vaguely wants to pass on the title to Hayley, which makes Anthony feel that he has become a laughing stock after dinner.

He has no brother-sister affection for Hailey's sister, and even wishes that she could disappear from this world immediately. As long as Hayley died, then the title of duke, the title of lord, would only end up on his head.

This time Hailey fell into the hands of the wind army, which was a golden opportunity for him, but as a result, things did not develop in the direction he expected at all, and Ed actually chose to compromise with Shangguanxiu, in order to save Hailey's life, he did not hesitate to make a treasonous move.

Anthony saw it in his eyes, and he was so angry that his back molars were clucking, and both eyes were about to burst into flames. The latest chapter of héiyāпgê has been updated

After Shangguan Xiu negotiated with Ed, he didn't stay in the Lord's Mansion for long, and he got up to say goodbye to Ed.

Ed didn't hold back, let alone get up to send him off, he stared at Shangguan Xiu, and said word by word: "Please remember the agreement between us, half a month later, I must see Hailey come back unharmed, otherwise, even if I Jinsk City-State fights the last man, I will fight to the death with you!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, the figure walking out did not pause at all, waved his hand back without looking back, and said, "I will do what I say." ”

"It's better to be so. ”

As the door of the main hall opened, Shangguan Xiu strode out. As soon as he walked on his front foot, everyone present gathered around Ed slightly, and asked in a gossipy manner, "My lord, is our army really going to stand still in the city?"

"If this matter reaches Goro, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will blame your lord!" "Yes, my lord, after the national war, the wind army can withdraw, but our Jinsk city-state can't withdraw, I hope your Excellency will think twice!"

Even if the relationship between the Duke and His Majesty the King is good, when it comes to treason, it is inevitable that the King will not settle the score, which may even bring ruin to the city-state of Kinsk.

Ed smiled bitterly and said, "As a duke, how can you go back on your word? Since I promised Shangguan Xiu, I will naturally do it!"

Everyone shook their heads again and again, sighing for a long time, but they couldn't think of a better solution for a while.

While everyone was talking, no one noticed that Anthony quietly left the Lord's Mansion.

When he arrived outside the lord's mansion, he waved his hand and called several cronies, his face was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "While Shangguanxiu has not left the city, I will do everything I can to kill him!"

As long as Shangguan Xiu dies in the city, then the wind army outside the city will definitely kill Hailey to vent his hatred, and his biggest obstacle will disappear.

"But, Lord Earl, Lord Lord has just ordered that Shangguan Xiu be released from the city!"

"Your lord is me, and the person who raised you is also me, not the lord, not my father, don't you understand my words now?" Anthony looked fierce, and coldly glanced at a group of confidants.

Everyone was so frightened that they all lowered their heads, and did not dare to say anything more, but responded in unison: "Yes, Lord Earl!"

Shangguan Xiu left the Lord's Mansion and did not leave the city immediately, but walked around the city casually.

As the main city of the city-state of Kinsk, the city of Kinsk is bustling with more than 500,000 permanent residents, and it is now a time of war, so if you count the mobile evacuation population, even if it is less than a million, it is not much different.

In the square in the center of the main city, there is a huge statue erected, this statue, at least more than 20 meters high, towering into the clouds, the base is ten meters wide, majestic and magnificent, looking from afar, as if a giant stands in the city, looking down on all beings, in front of it, no matter who it is, it seems extraordinarily small. It is the city of Kinsk and the iconic building of the city-state of Kinsk, the Great Statue of Ilya.

Ilya Reina is the founder of the founding of the city-state of Kinsk and the legendary hero of the city-state of Kinsk. Around the statue, there is a large square covering a vast area, surrounded by many shops, and the square is full of traffic, and the flow of people is continuous, and it is very lively.

Shangguan Xiu strolled here, first admiring the statue of Ilya, and then went to a nearby restaurant with a lot of pomp and circumstance, and bought a lot of traditional food from the city-state of Kinsk, planning to take it back to the military camp and give it to Hailey.

With the food he bought, Shangguan Xiu walked out of the restaurant, raised his eyes to look at the sky, the sun was setting, it was already evening, he got back on the horse, no longer delayed in the city, and walked towards the west city.

In the evening, there were more pedestrians on the street, cars came and went, and Shangguanxiu was riding on a horse, almost unable to walk an inch.

He raised his eyes and looked ahead, frowned secretly, turned his horse's head, and walked into a small alley on the side of the street.

His original intention was to stagger the crowded main street and take the side roads out of the city. There were indeed a lot fewer pedestrians in the alley, and there was finally no obstacle to walking.

As he was walking forward, the road in front of him was blocked again, and it turned out that two staggered carriages had collided, and the two coachmen jumped out of the carriage and stood facing each other, arguing with red faces.

If Shangguan Xiu hadn't ridden a horse, he could easily walk through the gap between the two cars, but now that he was riding, it was difficult for him to pass through such a narrow gap.

He rode up slowly, and asked in Bessa language, "Can you get out of the way of the cart first?"

Jinsk City is a big commercial city, the degree of openness is extremely high, people who come here to do business, there are all over the world, there are not a few, there are not a few people who have settled, including many wind people, so when they saw Shangguan Xiu's face of wind people, the two coachmen did not show surprise.

Hearing his question, the two middle-aged coachmen both widened their eyes, raised their eyebrows, pointed to the gap between the two cars, and shouted: "Let's let what? Isn't such a wide road enough for you to walk?"

Shangguan Xiu looked at the narrow gap between the two cars, he was almost angry, he didn't bother to say more, he urged the horse to walk through the gap.

Just as he rode into the gap between the two carts, a Besa vendor with a cart came on, and just plugged the narrow gap tightly.

Before he could speak in a hurry, suddenly, the curtains of the carriages on both sides fell down in unison, and then looked at the carports of the carriages on both sides, all of them were Besa people with firearms, the first row of people was half-squatting on the ground, and the second row of people stood upright, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at Shangguan Xiu, who was blocked in the cracks.

The distance between the two sides is not an exaggeration to describe it as close at hand. Without warning, the Bessars in the two carports pulled the trigger in unison and launched a close-range salvo at Shangguan Xiu.

Twenty firearms, fired simultaneously from both sides of Shangguan Xiu, leaving him almost no room to dodge.

For a moment, the fire flashed, and the smoke suddenly rose, mixed with the roar of the war horse. When the smoke cleared, people looked at it again, and Shangguan Xiu's crotch horse had already climbed to the ground and was killed on the spot, but it was just located in the gap between the two cars, and it couldn't fall on its side.

But the strange thing is that Shangguan Xiu disappeared without a trace. The peddler who pushed the cart immediately pulled out a long sword from under the car, and the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldier were completed at the same time, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Shangguan Xiuren?"

The Besa people in the two carriages were also stunned, and at the moment when they shot, Shangguan Xiu was still sitting on the horse and still in front of them, but as the smoke of gunpowder spread, Shangguan Xiu disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a horse corpse at the scene.

People subconsciously looked around, and when their eyes fell on the peddler, their faces changed dramatically, and their mouths opened in surprise. Seeing this, the little trader couldn't help but be stunned, he quickly realized something, and without thinking about it, he returned with a sword.

The spirit sword he swept backwards was like slashing on a diamond, shaking his wrist numb, and his mouth ached, and he didn't have time to turn around, and suddenly felt his knees weaken, and his body involuntarily knelt on the ground.

He let out a scream of surprise, and was about to look back when a bright spirit knife was placed on his neck first.

"Just with such a trick, you want to kill me, it's too underestimated, right?!" Shangguan Xiu, who stood behind the little trader at some point, smiled at the corner of his mouth, pressed the top of the little trader's head with one hand, and held the spirit knife in the other, across his neck.

The little trader gasped and shouted, "I am the battalion captain of the Jinsk city-state army, if you dare to hurt me, you don't want to leave Jinsk City alive!"

"Yes, I'm not afraid of other people's threats to me!" As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu slowly slashed the spirit knife that was lying in front of the small vendor's neck.

Under the edge of the spirit knife, the spirit armor on the peddler's neck was as fragile as paper, and it was easily torn apart, and with the slow stroke of the blade, the flesh and throat on his neck, as well as the carotid artery, were all cut.

The little trader's kneeling body on the ground shook violently, not that he didn't want to struggle, but Shangguan Xiu's hand on the top of his head, as if it had a thousand catties, crushed his struggling body to death. Seeing that he was cut his throat alive by Shangguan Xiu, all the people in the carriage roared angrily, and people took out paper shells from their waists, tore off the paper skin at the tail, stuffed them into the barrel of the fire gun, stabbed it into it with a whole strip, and then picked up the fire gun in unison and fired a salvo again at Shangguan Xiu.

This was the first time Shangguan Xiu had faced an enemy using paper shells, and it took twenty seconds at best from loading to shooting, and its speed was indeed much faster than that of the Zhenjun army.

The sound of fiery volleys sounded again, and Shangguan Xiu casually lifted the kneeling corpse up and blocked it in front of him.

The oncoming projectiles did not hit him, they all hit the corpse, and when the corpse fell from the air to the ground, Shangguan Xiu behind the corpse disappeared again.
