Chapter 11: The Assassin and the Sorcerer
This attack came suddenly and covertly, and even Jiang Ji didn't expect that someone would be so rampant that he would choose such an occasion to assassinate him.
And Wei Ji, Guo Qu and others, who were attracted by Chen Lei's attention, also reacted after being shocked.
"Thief dares!"
Guo Qu's voice turned into a sound wave like substance, and it shrouded towards the assassin.
It's just that their reaction is still too slow, and the murderous awe-inspiring sword aura has already fallen on Jiang Ji, and Jiang Ji didn't make the slightest movement in this process, and it seems that he didn't react at all.
However, the assassin in front of Jiang Ji did not have a trace of joy at this time.
Because of the sword qi that could easily put people to death, after touching Jiang Ji's body, instead of piercing and killing Jiang Ji as he expected, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, without setting off a little wave.
Seeing the smiling expression on Jiang Ji's face again, the assassin was suddenly startled in his heart, and instinctively wanted to flee as quickly as before.
But as soon as he thought of the mission he was carrying this time, his eyes instantly became firm, and he did not retreat the slightest distance, and the long sword in his hand continued to stab out firmly with the determination to move forward and forget about death.
At this moment, there was no fear in his mind, no instinct to survive, only the firm determination to kill Jiang Ji, at this moment he seemed to have broken through his limit, and the sword that stabbed forward was one point faster than usual.
The two of them were already close at hand, and now the tip of the sword appeared in front of Jiang Ji's throat as if teleporting.
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the tip of the sword stabbed Jiang Ji's throat, but there was no blood shooting, no blood blooming, only Jiang Ji's calm smile.
The assassin's mind was blank at this time, and he looked at Jiang Ji's white neck in disbelief, there was not even a red mark there.
Just when everyone was stunned by this scene, or stunned, or reacted and hurriedly shot at the assassin, Jiang Ji raised his right hand, pointed his finger into a sword, and a sword qi exactly like the assassin flew out from his fingertips, and in an instant, the assassin's sword-holding hand drilled into his body, penetrating his entire arm, bringing up a dazzling blood, and the assassin's whole person involuntarily retreated a few steps.
But even so, the assassin still only snorted, and then a blood-colored mist appeared all over his body, his eyes flashed with fierce light, and without the slightest idea of retreating, he took a step forward and rushed towards Jiang Ji, even thinking about killing Jiang Ji.
However, at this time, Guo Qu had already punched over, and the air emitted a piercing explosion, as if the masculinity of the essence turned into a huge fist mark, which fell directly on the assassin.
Boom!
The Assassin's entire body was knocked out by the force of the fist print, and he slammed into the walls of the main hall, embedded in it.
With the assassin at its center, cobweb-like cracks spread across the walls.
Fortunately, the walls of this hall are hard enough, otherwise I am afraid that a large hole will be punched out.
"Are you alright, Your Majesty?"
Shaofu Fengyu was the first to run to Jiang Ji's side, his angular face was a little afraid, and his words were full of concern.
Jiang Ji waved his hand: "It's okay for Lone, bring that assassin over, and Lone will interrogate him personally." ”
Before Feng Yu could make a move, Guo Qu had already ripped the assassin off the wall.
After receiving such a heavy blow, this assassin was not dead, but only had multiple fractures all over his body, and his internal organs were broken, which was enough to show that his cultivation was extraordinary.
And in this way, everyone's gaze at Jiang Ji is even more complicated, with admiration, fear, and jealousy......
And so on and so forth.
However, Jiang Ji didn't pay attention to the others at this time, he looked at the assassin who was paralyzed on the ground and asked, "Who called you to assassinate Gu, if you don't say it, then it will be indispensable to serve the big punishment." ”
Jiang Ji didn't expect the Assassin to confess the mastermind behind the scenes, but the Assassin actually said so. Ranwen
"Phew!"
The assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, and then said in a disdainful tone: "You dog thief, you still want to compete with the second prince of my family for the throne, it's really beyond your strength, you wait, even if one of me dies, there will be thousands of people like me who will continue to kill you." ”
The assassin's words stirred up a thousand waves like a stone, and the crowd exploded as if it were a pot.
Naturally, no one will believe such an obvious act of blaming the throne, but when you think of the assassination of King Qin before, and then this assassination, the battle for the throne may be a fact.
Since the assassin is now going to blame the second prince, isn't the eldest prince more suspicious?
Moreover, before the assassination of King Qin, Chen Lei's suspicion was not small, and this incident immediately made many people feel that it was probably the hand of the eldest prince again.
And some people think that it is because someone wants to fish in troubled waters and muddy the waters, so they will do this kind of thing at such a time.
After all, no matter how brainless the other two princes were, they would not strike again when the Son of Heaven was angry, unless they didn't want to inherit the throne.
And when everyone was thinking, Jiang Ji said angrily: "Nonsense, you dare to frame the second emperor brother, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, come and be punished!"
"No!"
Immediately, a guard dragged the assassin up and was about to drag him to be tortured, but the assassin's bloodstained face showed a strange smile: "I will wait for you to come down and accompany me." ”
With that, the assassin tilted his head, and there was no sound anymore.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Ji frowned.
The guard checked it and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the assassin has hidden poison in his mouth, and he has died of poison. ”
Jiang Ji was not surprised by this result, from the words and deeds of this assassin just now, it all showed that he had the belief that he would die, even if he did not swallow poison and died, there would be other ways to die.
At this time, Guo Qu said: "King Qiqi, there are rumors that sorcerers can communicate with the dead, Qu happens to know several sorcerers with extraordinary skills, do you want them to try?"
"This is just a fallacy, the classics record that once a person's soul leaves the body, it will dissipate immediately, and even the cultivation of the Dharma Body realm cannot be achieved, how can a small sorcerer communicate with the soul of the deceased? Those who can so-called communicate with the deceased are just liars. ”
Before Jiang Ji could answer, Wei Ji immediately refuted, obviously not having a good impression of the so-called witch.
The cultivation of shamans is similar to that of god refiners, but shamans worship legendary gods and demons and learn various doctrines and scriptures.
For Wei Ji, who was born in Confucianism, it is undoubtedly a stupid choice to pin everything he has on ghosts and gods.
Guo Qu's face was pale, but he did not refute.
First, because Wei Ji was telling the truth, but the few powerful sorcerers he knew had said that he could communicate with people who had just died and whose souls had not yet left the body, and he himself actually didn't believe it, but just now he also had the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he proposed it, and now since Wei Ji is against it, he naturally no longer insists.
And the other reason is naturally because Wei Ji has a high reputation in the Qin State, and he doesn't want to offend the other party because of this trivial matter.
"Both of them are pillars of the country, so why quarrel over such a trivial matter?"
Jiang Ji made a round.
In fact, he really wanted to meet the sorcerer in Guo Qu's mouth and see if it was the one Feng Yu had seen last time, but now it was not good to follow Guo Qu's words, so he could only give up.
However, Guo Qu's words also show that he can contact those witches, and there will be opportunities in the future.
Looking at the assassin's corpse, Jiang Ji said: "Since the imperial court has sent Ting Weizheng to investigate this matter, then the assassin's corpse will be handed over to Ting Weizheng and let him deal with this matter, and the others don't need to say much, come, continue to drink." ”
