Chapter 15: Assassination

After all kinds of begging, Zhang Ling finally got the queen's permission to live in the palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Although the Yunwang Mansion has no master all year round, there are always servants cleaning and maintaining.

When Zhang Ling returned to the Yunwang Mansion with a few people, it was already so dark that it was blinding.

Ming Xu briefly talked about the emperor's special team, and his mood was difficult to calm down. It was indeed a special team, with a total of more than 200 people, but all of those 200 people were monks!

Even if the huge Western Sect and the Xia Sect of the Xia Kingdom are combined, there are not so many monks!

Although the cultivation of these monks was different, it was undeniable that even a monk who meditated on the beginning realm could bring trouble to an ordinary army that could not be ignored, let alone so many people.

And that instructor, the instructor who was blind, he turned out to be the upper realm of the spirit!

It's even higher than the current Zhang Ling's cultivation!

Ming Xu was shocked and puzzled, it is said that these people have been raised since infancy, and he did see a few children. But where did they find so many people who could cultivate?

It's not that anyone can cultivate if they want to, without a spiritual root, they can't sense the vitality of heaven and earth at all, and naturally they can't absorb cultivation.

And the level of the spiritual root also determines the speed of cultivation and the level of cultivation, although accidents are not ruled out, but the basic spiritual root determines a person's future in cultivation.

Why can Zhang Ling at the same age reach the Netherworld Realm now, but he was only in the Meditation Realm at the same age, and even so, he was already considered a genius in cultivation. This is the reason for the spiritual root, his spiritual root is not as good as Zhang Ling, so naturally he is not as fast as his cultivation.

And when he asked He Guang if he was a spirit body, He Guang said no, but Ming Xu knew that he must be different from ordinary people, how could a normal person reach the meditation realm within half a year? Although it is said that cultivation is becoming more and more difficult later, but He Guang's cultivation speed is also very abnormal!

Ming Xu is still shocked and can't stop.

Zhang Ling listened carefully to Ming Xu's ramblings, and nodded with a very solemn expression and said, "Indeed, He Guang's cultivation speed is too fast!"

Ming Xu slapped his forehead, so soft that he was on the table, lying there and staring at Zhang Ling boringly.

is also naΓ―ve, knowing that this product will not comfort people, and he is merciful if he doesn't rub salt on your wounds.

He Guang smiled, Ming Xu has always been straightforward and decisive, and he will only be like this when he is in front of them, of course, the reason for being bullied by Zhang Ling cannot be ruled out.

Zhang Ling was the youngest among several men, but before he knew it, everyone was headed by him, which was very strange.

"Master, I have already found a storefront, and the funds have been prepared, do you think it will be opened in a few days or after the queen's birthday?" He Guang asked.

Zhang Ling groaned: "The words of these days are a little urgent, and there are three days before the queen's birthday, let's talk about it after this matter is over!"

He Guang nodded, and asked him a little reluctantly: "Is the master going to leave after the queen's birthday?"

Zhang Ling touched his smooth chin and stared at He Guang, and said with a smile: "Are you reluctant to let me go?

Ahem!

He Guang coughed a few times and smiled awkwardly, but he didn't dare to answer again.

He didn't speak, but Zhang Ling said again: "Don't think that you can stop cultivating when I leave, the next time I see you, if you don't reach my current cultivation, just wait for me to clean you up!"

He Guang immediately asked with a bitter face, "Master, the next time you said you will see me will not be tomorrow morning, right?"

Zhang Ling laughed out loud and said, "Do I look such an unreliable person?"

He Guang and Ming Xu nodded in unison.

Zhang Ling's face darkened instantly.

Yu Ziyu pulled Mingyue and smiled secretly, after all, it was rare to see Zhang Ling also be a general.

"All the things in the store, you and Ming Xu discuss it! When you can't figure it out, let Ming Xu go to the emperor. Zhang Ling said viciously, and then thought of something solemnly instructed He Guang, "Remember, you can only be the shopkeeper behind the scenes, I will give you the first order now!"

Zhang Ling stared at He Guang's eyes and said extremely seriously: "I don't allow you to meet those in power, especially the emperor and King Cheng, if my father comes to Kyoto in the future, you can see him, and no one except him can know about your existence." Remember?"

He Guang was taken aback, and although he was a little puzzled, he still nodded respectfully to indicate that he knew.

Zhang Ling looked at the darkness outside, and his face was a little heavy.

"If it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't even want Ming Xu to show up, and now that he has shown up and been reused by the emperor, then I won't allow you to appear too. ”

He looked at Ming Xu with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Although the emperor trusts me and my father, he is the emperor after all!"

Zhang Ling's words were not finished, but several people understood what he meant. Since ancient times, the emperor has been like a tiger, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and his current trust and entrustment are not the source of his future killing. Zhang Ling will be able to take care of his clothes at that time, but what about his father and He Guang's clansmen and those who do things for him?

If the emperor thinks that these people who have won the world for him may also threaten his world and imperial power, then cutting down and demoting officials is the best treatment, and the worst may be like the Ming family.

The pinnacle of power, after all, will make people lost.

He Guang and Ming Xu were moved in their hearts, even if Zhang Ling was still planning this matter, he had already left a way back for each of them, this young man who was younger than them was probably not weaker than the Wen family lady who had never met.

A few days passed in a hurry, and the queen's 45th birthday was celebrated by the whole country, but the whole of Kyoto was full of joy.

The joyful singing and dancing did not disperse until late at night, the queen went to rest early after a tiring day, and the ministers also dispersed, leaving in twos and threes, and the banquet was closed, but suddenly a little eunuch ran in and shouted: "Oh no, no, the emperor, the emperor, there are assassins sneaking in the Kangning Palace." ”

All the ministers were drunk, and they helped each other to walk out, but suddenly heard that Kangning Palace had been stabbed, and they all shook their spirits and suddenly sobered up.

But seeing that the little eunuch was covered in blood, and the eunuch suit was cut with a sharp weapon, he insisted on running here from the Kangning Palace, and cried after seeing the emperor: "The emperor helps, dozens of assassins suddenly broke into the Kangning Palace and killed half of the palace maids and eunuchs, and stabbed the queen mother, and now come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.

The ministers were in chaos and shouted to protect the emperor.

Wen Ruyan immediately transferred the Royal Forest Army, and the five thousand Royal Forest Army surrounded the water here. She commanded properly, and gave orders one by one, like a battle-hardened general.

"Commander Lin, you take five thousand imperial forest troops here to protect the emperor and the ministers, Deputy Commander Sun, you take two thousand forbidden troops to Fengzao Palace to protect the queen, and Deputy Commander Wei Chi takes two thousand forbidden troops to protect the princesses. After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor and said with a serious face: "Please ask the emperor and all the ministers to be here, and the ministers will immediately lead a thousand people to intercept the assassins." ”

The emperor nodded, his face did not show a panicked look, he said calmly: "Let Commander Lin take a thousand imperial forest troops to block the attack, and you stay here." ”

Hearing this, surprise appeared on Ruyan's face, and he immediately nodded and said, "The minister obeys the order!" Then he looked at Commander Lin again, and said solemnly: "Commander Lin will observe carefully when he goes to intercept the assassins, and if there are monks inside, he will immediately retreat!"

The Lin Commander didn't understand why she said that, but immediately nodded and left.

The emperor asked in a gloomy voice, "Why do you say that there may be monks inside?"

"The minister guessed. Hearing this, her face was calm, and she stood out from the crowd compared to the panic of the ministers.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, his action was the same as Zhang Ling's, and Zhang Ling also narrowed his eyes at this time.

In the brightly lit palace, he stood quietly to the side, his head slightly bowed, and the chill in his eyes was not seen.

The Queen Mother was assassinated at this time, which was simply too coincidental.

On the day of the Empress's birthday, the Queen Mother was assassinated and almost died, and those assassins had the audacity to come to the birthday banquet to stir up trouble, and the rumors may make people blame the royal family.

The queen's birthday banquet queen mother only stayed in Kangning Palace, after being assassinated, there was no forbidden army to rescue in time, resulting in the queen mother in danger, and she originally decided to leave tomorrow, but now I am afraid that it will be delayed, otherwise I am afraid that I will be accused of unfilial piety, and if what distorted rumors are involved in my father who is far away on the border of the South China Sea, it will be even more unclear at that time.

There was a cold smile on the corner of Zhang Ling's mouth, if he was skeptical when he first heard Ruyan warn him, now he believed it eight or nine points.

They felt that this would threaten the emperor and the cloud king, but at the same time, they also exposed themselves without knowing it.

Zhang Ling had a cold anger in his heart, but he hid it well, he could tolerate other people's attacks on him, but if his family was implicated, he would never be able to bear it.

At this time, I saw a royal forest soldier wearing armor running in, and when he came to the emperor, he knelt down and said: "Tell the emperor, the general asked his subordinates to report that there are more than forty assassins in that group, half of them are monks, but the cultivation realm is unknown." ”

The emperor changed color slightly, and glanced at Zhang Ling without a trace. It was too late for him to mobilize that special team now, and in the monk's case, Zhang Ling was the only one here now.

I only heard the Imperial Forest Army continue: "The Great Commander asked his subordinates to ask the emperor whether to retreat according to Lord Wen's wishes or continue the siege. ”

The emperor frowned, a little uncertain.

If he had that team now, he could have let those assassins come over at will, but now only Zhang Ling was there. If the siege continued, the monk would not be too much to say to these Guards that they could fight with one enemy, and the siege would only increase the consumption of the Guards and make them die in vain.

Wen Ruyan stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor glanced at her and saw that her eyes were firm, and her exotic eyes were dazzling. Then he saw Zhang Ling nodding at him slightly, and then said, "You go and tell Lin Hongsheng quickly and let him withdraw." ”

"Yes!" the man replied forcefully, turning to leave.

All the ministers approached the emperor one after another, looking outside in panic.

A trace of disdain flashed in Wen Ruyan's eyes.

There was a sound of weapons intersecting outside, and from time to time there were a few screams.

Commander Lin led the rest of the people into the garden, standing at the front facing the remaining thirty or so black-clothed people.

The group of black-clothed people were also strange, after coming in, they just searched in the crowd behind, as if they didn't find the person they were looking for, and the leader said: "Emperor Yue, we didn't intend to disturb the birthday of the empress of your country, as long as Emperor Yue handed over Zhang Ling and the two people who were rescued by him, we promise to leave immediately, and we will definitely not hurt you at all." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw many ministers looking at Zhang Ling, and Zhang Ling attracted everyone's attention in an instant. The man in black noticed him at this time, but he was slightly surprised, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Ling to be so young.

The emperor secretly scolded in his heart, only thinking that his group of ministers were really stupid and stupid. He said coldly: "You are too arrogant, can you still resist my tens of thousands of imperial forest troops? ”

The leader of the men in black had a black cloth covering his face, and his face could not be seen, but everyone could still hear his ridicule from his voice.

He glanced at the emperor and the ministers who were surrounded by water, slowly rose into the air, looked down at everyone and said, "Whether you hand over or not is your business, but you had better think clearly." Besides, I really didn't pay attention to your tens of thousands of Imperial Forest Army. ”

He was condescending, looking down on everyone, his eyes arrogant, and his whole body was full of power.

Everyone's faces changed dramatically, monks who can fly!

Such monks are simply mythical beings, some of them may not be seen in their lifetime, but now they do, but they would rather never see them in their lifetime.

The emperor's face was also gloomy, although he thought that many monks on the other side must have a leading figure, and his cultivation must be very powerful, but he never thought that the other party was actually a monk in the realm of the underworld or even more powerful!

"Emperor Yue, hand over the three of them, I will not kill innocents indiscriminately, otherwise, today I will make this Yue Kingdom Palace be washed in blood. He said grimly, slowly raising his palm.

The emperor didn't speak, just waved his hand, and Commander Lin drew out his bloody saber with a brush, and when the Imperial Forest Army saw this, he even drew his weapon.

Thousands of people flashed their swords together, and the momentum was indeed a bit amazing, but the group of men in black just looked at it with a sneer.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling gently pulled the emperor's hand and walked forward.

He looked up at the man who was suspended in mid-air, and there was a strong battle intent in his eyes.

When the man saw him like this, he said with some mockery, "What? You want to fight me?"

He shook his head, and the sound of his sizzle made the group of men in black burst into laughter.

The emperor's face darkened.

Zhang Ling smiled and shook his head.

The man in black laughed when he saw this, and said sarcastically: "Before I came, I thought that someone could let me out of the mountain, but I didn't expect it to be a hairy boy." I thought it was so powerful, but I didn't even have the courage to fight. His sarcastic voice turned around and said in a slurp: "King Lingjun! Hahahaha! King Lingjun!"

"Don't you think you're talking a lot of nonsense as an assassin?" Zhang Ling said with a smile, "and your voice is like a duck barking." ”

"Hahahaha!"

This time it was the turn of the ministers to laugh, they were not familiar with King Lingjun, but as the courtiers and subjects of the Yue Kingdom, they still loved this country, and they were ridiculed by these black-clothed people who were obviously not from the Yue Kingdom, and they all held their anger in their hearts, and even forgot about their horror and cowardice.

At this time, when I heard King Ling Jun speak like this, I only felt that King Ling Jun was really a lovely character.

The man in black froze and asked with sarcasm and murderous intent, "Boy, then do you dare to fight me?"

The ministers looked at Zhang Ling with expectation and apprehension in their eyes, after all, Zhang Ling shook his head just now.

Zhang Ling looked at them, still smiling slightly, but the words he said carried a strong murderous intent.

"I'm not going to fight you. He said, his expression completely cold.

"I'll kill you!"
