"What?" Hearing the word 'Thorn Jun', Shangguan Xiu, who had always been old and moody, unconsciously widened his eyes and looked at the young man in disbelief.

The young man looked up and smiled, smiling and laughing, tears flowed from his eyes, and he said intermittently: "So, many people will die tomorrow, many people will die, but no one will survive who participates in the rally, including you, let's go, the farther you go, the better......"

As the young man spoke, he pushed Shangguan Xiu away, holding on to the wall with his hands, dragging his heavy footsteps, and walked forward step by step.

Shangguan Xiu stood in place, stunned for a while before he reacted, his face changed suddenly, he caught up with the young man again, and asked urgently: "Why? Why did you assassinate the Son of Heaven?"

"I've said enough, I can't say any more, listen to me, let's go, let's go......" The young man shook his head, muttering the word 'let' in his mouth, and nothing else.

Assassinating the monarch, I am afraid that there is nothing more important in the world, how can Shangguan Xiu not figure out what is going on? But no matter how much he asked, the young man only answered him with two words: Let's go.

Looking at the back of the young man leaving step by step, Shangguan Xiu's face changed uncertainly, and his mind kept turning.

After a while, he strode after the young man again, grabbed his arm, and said, "Thank you for telling me this, for me, you are my father-in-law, can I know your name?"

The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile, and he asked rhetorically: "Name? What is the use of knowing my name?" Having said that, he still continued: "My name is Zhang Chong, if you can get away with it, burn a few pieces of paper money for me during the New Year's holidays in the future, and I will be content." ”

With that, his eyes were rosy, and he sucked hard into his sour nose.

Shangguan Xiu nodded, and said seriously: "Brother Zhang, I will, you can rest assured that you can get on the road!"

As he spoke, he shot like lightning, his left hand covered Zhang Chong's eyes, and the dagger in his right hand quickly wiped over Zhang Chong's neck.

Boom! The knife flashed, and the blood splattered.

As he wiped it out, Zhang Chong's throat was immediately torn open, and a bloody arrow spurted out. Zhang Chong's mouth opened wide, but he couldn't say a word, and his body was limp and slumped.

Shangguan Xiu held his fallen body, looked forward and backward, and saw that there was no one around, he held Zhang Chong's body in one hand, and used the instantaneous wind step to rush out of the small alley like a fly, and quickly ran to the nearby Lotus Lake.

Lotus Lake is located near the Imperial Academy, a semi-artificial lake that is not very large, many couples will come here to play during the day, and at night, the surrounding of Lotus Lake is quiet, and even a shadow of a person can not be seen.

Shangguan Xiu carried Zhang Chong's body to the Lotus Lake, picked up a few large stones from the ground, stuffed them into Zhang Chong's clothes, cuffs, and trousers, and then threw Zhang Chong's body into the lake with his arms vigorously.

He has to figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing, tomorrow's Capture the Flag Match, not only the Son of Heaven will be present, Tang Yu will also be present, Shangguan Xiu can ignore the Son of Heaven, but he can't ignore Tang Yu.

Poof!

With a muffled sound, Zhang Chong's body fell into the lake, because Shangguan Xiu stuffed a lot of large and small stones in his clothes, his body quickly sank to the bottom of the lake, and only gurgling bubbles came up from the bottom of the water.

Standing by the lake and watching for a while, to make sure that Zhang Chong's body would not float up again, Shangguan Xiu withdrew and went straight to the meeting place on Yanfu Street.

When he went to the meeting place, his appearance also changed, and he became Zhang Chong's appearance, and it seemed that the two people looked exactly the same, as if they were carved out of a mold.

Since there was no rally tonight, the rally site was unusually quiet.

When Shangguan Xiu came here, his heart also rose to his throat. Zhang Chong only mentioned that he was going to the party, but Shangguan Xiu did not know the specific meeting place, and he did not dare to guarantee that it must be here.

Standing in front of the door of the house, Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath and tentatively tapped on the door a few times.

There was no sound in the door, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but knock a few more times, but there was still no movement in the door. Shangguan Xiu secretly screamed badly, isn't this the place where they meet?

He was pondering in his mind when suddenly, a crack was opened in the door, revealing half of a young man's face. With a pale face and wide eyes, it looks like a ghost. If a timid person stands outside the door, I am afraid that he can't help but scream.

The person inside the door looked outside, his cold gaze fell on Shangguan Xiu, and after a while, he opened the door, his face was displeased, and he asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Chong, why did you come so late, you don't want to escape, right?"

Hearing the other party's words, Shangguan Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that he had not come to the wrong place, and the place where Zhang Chong and them met was still located here.

He glanced at the man expressionlessly, said nothing, and walked out of the house.

He didn't know what the relationship between Zhang Chong and the young man was, and he didn't dare to say a word more, because the omission of a word might make him exposed.

The young man glared at Shangguan Xiu fiercely, and then carefully closed the door tightly and plugged in the door bolt. As he walked towards the house, he said in a cold voice: "Just one of you, everyone is waiting for you!"

Shangguan Xiu still didn't say a word. Seeing this, the young man became even more angry and said angrily: "Zhang Chong, you are dumb today. ”

"I see. Shangguan Xiu deliberately responded impatiently.

"Hmph!" the young man glared at him again, and walked through the courtyard into the main room of the house. He shook his head and said, "You go in first, I'll close the doors and windows tightly." As he spoke, he first locked the door of the main room, and then went to close the window.

Shangguan Xiu didn't know where he was going in when he said 'go in', but he didn't dare to act rashly, he stood still and didn't move, deliberately putting on a frown and worried look.

When the young man closed the doors and windows and extinguished the lampstand in the house, he looked back and saw that Shangguan Xiu was still standing stupidly, he stepped forward angrily and reprimanded in a low voice: "Zhang Chong, what happened to you today? Didn't I say let you go in first?"

"Everybody...... Are they all here?" Shangguan Xiu replied and changed the subject.

The corners of the young man's mouth were raised, and he said sarcastically without smiling: "Let you down, no one is absent tonight, and tomorrow will act as planned!" As he spoke, he sneered, took out a black cloth towel from his waist, tied it to his face, and then walked over in front of Shangguan Xiu.

Entering the side room of the main house, he walked all the way to the innermost wall, where he first pulled up a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and then twisted them on the circular mechanism behind the calligraphy and paintings. As the mechanism turned, the walls rattled with a crunch.

The young man took a deep breath, put his palms on the wall, and pushed it so hard that the entire wall slid in, revealing a secret door on one side of the wall.

He clapped his hands, walked to the secret door, opened the secret door, and was about to walk in, when he looked back and saw Shangguan Xiu still standing stupidly outside, he asked angrily: "You kid don't plan to come in, right?"

Shangguan Xiu came back to his senses, he still looked expressionless, and followed the young man into the secret door.

It turns out that there is such a secret room hidden in this new meeting place. He secretly marveled in his heart.

"Bring the face towel!"

"I forgot to bring it, lend me one. ”

"You're such a nuisance!"

When the two of them entered the secret door, the young man slapped his hand on the wall, and the sunken wall creaked back to its original state. After that, the young man took out a black scarf from his waist and handed it to Shangguan Xiu, he walked in front, Shangguan Xiu followed behind, and not long along the secret passage, a bright light appeared in front of him, and a small door was pushed open, and the young man took the lead in entering a secret room.

Shangguan Xiu followed closely and also followed.

This secret room is about 30 square meters, but there are nearly 40 people gathered in the dark, all of whom are masked in black scarves. At the front, there were three people standing, and because they were covered with face scarves, Shangguan Xiu couldn't recognize who they were.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu and the young man coming in, the one standing in the middle of the three nodded and said, "Everyone is here, now, I will make the final arrangements." ”

"At tomorrow's Capture the Flag, we will have to ensure that at least two teams are in the top 10, and I think you all know that only the teams that make it to the top 10 will have a chance to get close to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will personally award the 'Gale Blade' to the top 10 teams, which is the only and best time for us to make a move.

"The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while. Everything we have today has been given to us by His Highness, including our lives, and tomorrow is the time for us to repay His Highness. This operation can only succeed, not fail. If we succeed, we will be the heroes who will help His Highness to become a great treasure, not only can we live, but the future will be just around the corner, and once we fail, not only will we die, but our families will not survive, do you understand this truth?"

"Understood!" said everyone present in unison.

The expression on Shangguan Xiu's face did not change, but the cold sweat flowing from his back had soaked his underwear. He didn't expect that there would be so many people who wanted to assassinate the Son of Heaven tomorrow, looking at the clothes, there were both academies and academies, and what he didn't expect was that the students of these academies and academies turned out to be dead soldiers who were raised, and the person who raised them was still a royal family.

Your Highness, this is an honorific title for the princes and princesses. So which of them were the dead soldiers raised by His Royal Highness? Tang Ling, or Tang Yu, or the other princes and princesses?

This is simply a long-planned murder of the monarch and the seizure of the throne! Shangguan Xiu's brows tightened, and his heart shrank into a ball.
