Chapter 2: Assassination
Yuntai City is the largest town near Bixilin. It has a prosperous business and a strong economy, and has an inn that can accommodate 100 people. The street is full of merchants' shouting and selling, and the crowd is bustling and very lively.
Qi Zhe is the side prince of the Qi family of the royal family of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Every thirty years, the empire sends a prince who has made a difference to Yuntai City. There is an unwritten rule in Yuntai: each prince can only stay in one mansion, called Ning Wangfu. It is forbidden to build a mansion without permission, so as not to waste money and labor. The word "King Ning" takes the meaning of stabilizing the people, and I don't want this Qi Zhe to be in office for less than three years, and his true nature will be exposed. In this city, the people preyed on the people, and built palaces on a large scale. If you like a woman, you will first be tempted by profit, and if you don't succeed, you will be robbed. When he encounters those who resist, he will call his four generals to kill mercilessly. In the city, as long as King Ning's words were mentioned, the people were silent, and their eyes were full of strong hatred and fear. For fear that if he was not careful, he would be listened to by King Naning, hacked to death with a sword, and then displayed his corpse in the city tower.
Despite King Ning's brutality, the location of Yuntai City is excellent, attracting many merchants to come here. There are even some cultivation sects that have left branches here, recruiting disciples every twenty years or so.
On a street full of goods, a teenager moves quickly, followed by a young girl. From time to time, the boy turned and shouted backwards, "Let's go!" The girl stared straight at the beautiful ornaments, and replied, "Well, here we are." Wait for me, why are you going so fast? ”
"I finally came out of Bixi Forest, so naturally I want to take a good stroll! The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl looked at the street stalls and turned to Red Blood. When she looked at the young man's back, she rolled her eyes, "I only know how to complete what my grandfather explained, hum" The girl looked at all kinds of things on the street, but there was a burst of loss in her eyes.
When he arrived in front of an inn, the young man turned around and shouted, "Yunxia, let's go! I'll ask Shizun for leave to take you out to play another day, okay?" Before the words fell, the innkeeper had sharp eyes and greeted the young man from afar.
"Boss, do you know where Ning Wangfu is in Yuntai?" the young man took a sip of his wine glass and looked at the busy boss on the counter.
The boss's expression froze, "Shaoxia, but a foreigner?" the young man nodded, picked up the wine jug and filled the wine glass with wine.
The boss looked relieved and said with a smile: "Ningdu Mansion, cross the avenue in front of the store, go all the way to the west, and there is a corner." Walk to the right and you will be able to see it. After the boss finished speaking, he gave the boy a deep look. The young man saw it in his eyes and smiled slightly. "Thank you," the young man pulled out some broken silver, "I'll ask you something, about Ningdu Mansion." Throwing the silver to him, the boy paid attention to the boss's face as he drank. "Guest, I'm afraid this won't work. Although Ning Wangfu is an official mansion in Yuntai, it is really full of evil. The boss frowned and smiled bitterly.
The young man smiled faintly and said, "Could it be that King Ning is a bully?" took out another ingot of gold and shook it in front of the boss, "I'll just inquire about one person." Rest assured. The people of the rivers and lakes are absolutely tight-lipped!"
The boss looked at Jin Zi and gritted his teeth, "Young man, you ask, I will know everything" "Qi Zhe!"
When the boss heard this, his face was shocked, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his tone was a little questioning. "King Ning, that wicked man!" "I advise you not to inquire, then King Ning is not a lord to be messed with......"
"Well, you just have to tell me something. The boy smiled and nodded affirmatively. "Well, forget it. The young man wants to know, and I will tell you. Looking at the young man's calm face from beginning to end, the boss threw out the worries in his heart for the young man, and said helplessly.
In the middle of the night, the boy knocked on Yunxia's room door and woke her up. Looking at her sleepy-eyed appearance, the boy couldn't help but smile. Yunxia glanced at him with disdain, yawned and said, "Let's talk about the plan!" "Hmm!"
Tonight's moon is particularly clear, and the night breeze is slightly cool and biting.
Ning Wangfu, two dragon-shaped agarwood pillars on both sides of the gate support an official mansion, and the dragon-shaped carving opens teeth and claws, revealing a hideous look. In a lavish room, a man in a silk robe lay on the floor, his right hand clenched his left. The hand that was held was bleeding, and the man endured the pain, with the arrogance of the superior on his face, and said indifferently: "This king knows that he will not live until tonight, but can he let this king die clearly?" Yunxia was dressed in black, looked at King Ning indifferently, and asked the young man in a loud voice: "Senior brother, I have solved the problem of guarding me." As for this man, what should he do?"
The young man walked slowly towards the man, with a sneering expression on his face, "You, as a king, are not a people, so that's fine." I was entrusted by the people in the vicinity to take my life. ”
"Remember, the person who killed you is named Red Blood!" the young man picked up the long sword, and his luck was all over, "Kill!" The sword aura was clear, and swept away with an indestructible momentum, the wooden chair was reduced to nothing in the sword aura, and a large hole was broken in the roof of the house by the roaring sword aura, and the cold moon in the sky could be faintly seen.
Seeing the sharp sword light flashing towards him, the man did not panic, "Kill me?" "How could I, Qi Zhe, die so easily? Now you are going to die!Burn the Fire Palm, Kill!" The words were arrogant and arrogant, and Qi Zhe had a sinister smile on his face. He wanted to see how the two juniors killed him!
With a wave of the palm, time seemed to have stopped. The palm wind howled, and the scorching flame breath rushed towards the boy and girl. Red Blood and Yunxia were busy resisting the sword, and shouted in a low voice, "Sword Dance Imperial Heaven", and countless sword qi appeared around them, which could withstand the fatal palm. As time passed, the resulting sword curtain gradually appeared like a spider's web. Qi Zhe slapped out another palm, swift, strong, and boundless aura, making Red Blood feel like he was standing on the battlefield, seeing thousands of bloody soldiers fighting. Those who are unstable will surely perish under this trick. The sword curtain was torn, Yunxia couldn't dodge, was hit hard by the palm wind, and her body was thrown out and smashed into the courtyard.
"Yunxia!" The figure flickered into the courtyard, and when Red Blood saw her lying on the ground, she couldn't stop vomiting blood, and hurriedly took out the hemostatic pill for her to take.
"Qi Zhe, you deserve to die!" Turning his head, he stared at Qi Zhe with cold eyes, his heart was furious, the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he shouted: "Sacrifice the sword with your soul." Kill!" The words fell, and the sword qi around him roared, as if he was about to break out of his body, and he was killed with a sword in red blood, Qi Zhe could withstand it, his body retreated, and he couldn't stop vomiting blood.
"Haha, it turned out to be him!" Qi Zhe seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but laugh wildly when he looked at Chi Se's cold face.
"Extinguish!" Thousands of brilliant sword lights directly bombarded and slashed, devouring Qi Zhe's palm wind and people together. King Yuntai Ning, die! And after the red blood sent out this nirvana, he felt that the internal organs in his body had been hit hard, and a mouthful of blood spurted out "wow", and his body was shaky.
"If you are struck by the burning palm of this king, you will surely die in three months. King Ning's resentful voice sounded, and he was full of unwillingness when he died. "Boy, I'll be waiting for you in the underworld!"
"Yunxia, can you walk?" Red Blood supported his somewhat weak body with his sword, and slowly squatted down and asked Yunxia. "Senior brother, this forbidden technique can't be easily used in the future!" Yunxia didn't answer his words, but told Red Blood with a serious face. Red Blood was stunned, then smiled and said, "Got it." Senior brother, let's send you back to the inn first! There is too much movement here, and it must have alarmed the south gate of King Ning. We must hurry up!" "Hmm!" After speaking, the two of them helped each other and left this place while the royal army was in the future.
Not long after the two left, Li Ran, one of the four gate generals, rushed over with a sergeant. Seeing the dilapidated house, and looking at King Ning's miserable appearance, a murderous aura flashed in Li Ran's eyes, fleeting, and said fiercely: "Come on, chase, that assassin must not have gone far!"
"General! There is a line of blood in the place where the prince died. A soldier said. "Huh?" This may have something to do with the assassin, Li Ran walked up to Qi Zhe's side, thinking faintly in his heart.
"The cloud... Sky... A soldier with extraordinary eyes quickly moved away from King Ning's corpse, looked at a few blood-stained characters, and tried to identify them.
When Li Ran heard this, his expression was straight, his eyes were complicated, "Yunxiaozi!" Then he waved his hand, turned around and said to his subordinates: "All stand down." ”
"It seems that they will be mobilized tomorrow..."Li Ran slammed the sword at his waist, and his eyebrows were murderous.
