Chapter 9: Assassination Wounded
Coming out of the palace, Qi Ya was already waiting outside the palace gate, the matter of the poetry meeting had already spread all over the capital, Gao Xiang was afraid that some people would not be able to sit still, Yan Yun's eighteen riding goals were too big, and only Qi Ya was the most suitable.
"Lord Wang, Manager Gao sent me to pick you up." Qiya saw Zhao Zili go out of the palace gate, and also greeted him, although he was very arrogant, but he still knew the severity.
"Okay, let's go." Looking back at the towering palace wall behind him, he knew that it would be difficult to come back, and the conversation just now also made Zhao Zili understand this cheap father a little more.
Got into the carriage that Qia rushed to, Zhao Zili began to think about the future, although this poetry meeting was in the limelight, but as long as the remaining time was quiet, low-key should be able to smoothly pass the days before the fiefdom.
"Lord Wang, there are people coming, there are not many of them, but they all have some skills." Qiya could clearly feel that those murderous aura were coming at Zhao Zili in the carriage, but he was not afraid at all, in his opinion, these were local chickens and dogs.
"Are they the people watching from outside the palace?" Zhao Zili asked out loud, those people were spying on him but they didn't seem to have any intention of killing him.
"No, the person who came was more murderous, and he was a professional killer."
"Then you don't need to leave them alive, kill them all, and solve them quickly." In the face of the people who wanted to kill him, Zhao Zili did not show the slightest mercy, and these people who dared to kill themselves must be dead soldiers, and they couldn't ask anything.
Whoosh, whoosh, swish, a few sounds of breaking the air came, and the arrows shot by the man in black went straight to Zhao Zili's carriage, in their information, King Song was a soft egg, and there was no master around him, the leading killer was called Xing Jiu, and then these arrows in his heart were enough to kill King Song.
"The boss is really, a prince with a bag, even if he can write a few broken poems, and if an arrow can solve it, he will have to dispatch the whole ninth hall to make a big fuss." Although dissatisfied, Xing Jiu did not dare to disobey the boss's order.
Kia picked up the Nightfall Sword, got up and jumped into the carriage, and with a few beautiful sword moves, he cut off all the arrows he shot.
"Hey, there are masters, it's interesting, that's the value of the shot." The sharp arrow was blocked, Xing Jiu was not angry but happy, he liked to torture and kill these masters the most.
"Everyone obeys the order and concentrates on attacking the carriage, this person is handed over to me, and the battle will not attract the forbidden army." Xing Jiu roared and rushed forward, and a few dodges came to the sky above Qiya.
"Suffer death!" Just when Xing Jiu's knife was about to touch Qi Ya's body, Qi Ya moved, and the night sword in his hand seemed to disappear, and Xing Jiu didn't notice it at all.
An arm flew into the sky, accompanied by Xing Jiu's heart-rending cry, and all the killers also stood in place, so many people didn't see clearly how this swordsman cut off Xing Jiu's arm.
Xing Jiu pressed the wound tightly with one hand, looked at Chia on the carriage with resentment, and suddenly the moonlight shone on Qiya's sword, and the night sword flashed with a long black light, Xing Jiu's pupils shrank and recognized the sword.
"Night Swordsman, I didn't expect you to be alive and be the horseman of King Song, you are really a good skill." Hearing Xing Jiu's words, the killers broke out in a cold sweat, the night swordsman's martial arts were extremely high, and there was no life under his hands.
"Oh, you can actually recognize me, you are the Blood Sword Hall, you should be a hall master based on your skills, otherwise you would have died with that sword just now." Chia also recognized the origin of these killers, the notorious Blood Knife Hall, as long as he gave money to his father, he would kill him.
"Hmph, brothers, no matter how strong Qia is, as long as he kills King Song, the task will be completed, even if he dies, his family will get the bounty he deserves." At this time, it was too late to escape, and the forbidden army probably heard the movement, and no one was sure that they could escape under Chia's hands.
Qi Ya snorted coldly, the brush strikes first, the first strike is strong, being taken advantage of by these killers does him no good, at this time he is like a wolf into the flock, the dark late night gives him the best home field, no one can see his night sword, one move can take the life of a killer.
Xing Jiu didn't move, only one arm was left to go up and die, he wanted to use the life of the ninth hall to create an opportunity, a small flaw that he had just discovered.
Without a few breaths, there was not much left of the killer, and suddenly a moonlight shone on Qiya, Xing Jiu's pupils shrank, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone surround Qiya." Then he took out his crossbow bolt from behind him and aimed it at the carriage.
Qi Ya suddenly thought of something, and looked down to see that it was under the moonlight, and the ghost light of the Night Sword revealed the location, and the secret was bad. got up and was about to rush to the carriage, but the remaining killers had already surrounded him, and Qi Ya solved the remaining killers in three moves, but it was still too late, Xing Jiu's arrow had already been shot, and a miserable scream hit the people in the car.
"Hahaha, Chia or I won." Xing Jiu's face was pale, and he finally couldn't stand up and fell down after losing too much blood.
Qi Ya's eyes were split, he didn't believe that he could still let Zhao Zili be hurt under his protection, and suddenly a person walked out of the carriage, officially Zhao Zili.
Xing Jiu couldn't believe it, he was sure that he had hit the target, and said in a lost voice: "Impossible, even if it is Qiya, the God Destroying Crossbow can't be unscathed, how can you... Before he finished speaking, he saw a faint golden light emanating from under Zhao Zili's clothes.
"Popular science, this is called soft inner armor, even your god-destroying crossbow can't pierce it, but it still hurts." Zhao Zili shook his shoulders, and was glad in his heart, if it wasn't for Emperor Wu giving him this treasure, this little fate would be explained, and he would repay him after the fiefdom was completely safe.
Seeing that Zhao Zili was fine, Qiya was also relieved.
"It's like this, I'm not reconciled!" Xing Jiu was furious, and with excessive blood loss, he finally swallowed his last breath.
"I'm sorry." Qiya blamed herself very much, but Zhao Zili didn't care, and said: "It's okay, I'm not injured either, the forbidden army is coming soon, let's leave quickly and let people know." ”
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a tall black shadow descended from the sky and stopped them.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Song, these people were all killed by you." The person who came was officially Meng Tiankui, only to see him look at the dead killer and then look at Qia.
"It turned out to be General Meng, these killers did come for me, but they were all killed by my subordinates." Seeing who Zhao Zili was, he was relieved, and then said: "General, this king has attracted a killer when he is in the limelight today, if they know that I still have such a guard, my situation will be even more difficult, I don't know if I can let the general keep it secret for me." ”
"I killed these killers, what does it have to do with the prince, the prince must have been injured too, hurry back to the mansion to recuperate." Meng Tiankui is also a delicate person, and with Zhao Zili's poem during the day, this little favor can still help.
"Thank you, General, Chia, let's go." Soon Zhao Zili and Qiya disappeared into the night, and soon the forbidden army also arrived.
"General, these people seem to be from the Blood Knife Hall, who are they targeting." Xiao Beili, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, is also Meng Tiankui's confidant.
"It's King Song, fortunately I came in time, but King Song was still injured, but it was not serious, and he had been taken back to the palace by his housekeeper." Meng Tiankui looked at it and told Xiao Bieli to clean up the battlefield, while he entered the palace to report to the emperor that the assassination of the prince was not a trivial matter.
When Emperor Wu heard that Zhao Zili had been assassinated, he was furious and immediately ordered the whole country to encircle and suppress the Blood Sword Hall, but he also understood that with his own reward for the armor, even if he was injured, it would not be too serious.
On the other hand, Zhao Zili quickly returned to the palace with Qiya, and deliberately asked Qiya to carry him on his back before entering the door, so that the people who monitored him would also think that he was seriously injured.
However, this frightened Gao Xiang, and he was relieved to see Zhao Zili jumping off Qi Yazhen, but soon he understood and asked, "The prince has met an assassin." ”
"That's right, it's the Blood Sword Hall, or Qiya's martial arts are strong, otherwise you really won't be able to come back." Zhao Zili took off his coat and soft inner armor, and his shoulders were already black.
"Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and it will be healed in a few days." Gao Xiang looked at Zhao Zili's injury, and then he was relieved, and then asked: "Lord Wang, what happened to those killers, if you let people know that Qiya is here." ”
"Don't worry, someone has already cleaned it up, and it will be fine, and now you will let out the rumors, saying that I was assassinated, my injuries are very serious, and I can't see people in the near future." Zhao Zili thought about it, and took advantage of this assassination, just enough to have an excuse not to see anyone.
"Okay, my subordinates will do it, Ah Ruo, come and change your clothes after that, and take some stasis to disperse." Gao Xiang greeted Ah Ruo, and Ah Ruo also trotted all the way, and quickly gave Zhao Zili good medicine.
The next day, the news of King Song's assassination spread all over the capital, and for a while the streets and alleys were talking.
"Did you hear that? The king of Song, who won the first place in the poetry club, was assassinated, and there was only one breath left. ”
"I heard that the reputation of King Song was strange before, and it turned out to be clumsy, Jin Se, Jiang Chengzi, Jiang Jinjiu, and the wind and rain dream battle, which one is not shocking."
"Yes, it seems that someone can't sit still, I'm afraid it's the second fifth prince."
"It's a pity, I don't know if King Song can survive."
"What, the seventh brother is injured, quickly prepare a sedan chair and bring all the precious medicinal materials in the house, and the palace will visit." When the sixth princess found out, she immediately went to visit, and the ninth princess also rushed to visit after hearing about it.
"What is not dead, what is the Blood Knife Hall for?" In a corner of the capital, a masked man was meeting with the Blood Knife Hall Master.
"Hmph, for this task, we have damaged the entire ninth hall, King Song was hit by Lao Jiu's god-destroying crossbow, and if he doesn't die, he will have one breath left, and even if he survives, he won't be able to become a climate." The Blood Knife Hall Master is also wearing a mask, and no one knows his true face at the moment.
"Well, for the sake of your loss of such a big share, the agreed price will not change." The masked man threw a pocket to the Blood Knife Hall, his purpose had been achieved, and there was no need to get too stiff with the Blood Knife Hall, and then said, "I'm really curious about who you are. ”
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask." Flipping the money bag in his hand, the Blood Knife Hall Master didn't stop long, and disappeared in front of the man in black in a few jumps.
"Sooner or later, you'll have to figure out who you really are."
Soon, because of King Song's injury, many people came to King Song's mansion, which made Zhao Zili a little distressed, he was injured before, but few people came to see it, yes, continue to pretend.
