Chapter 107: Assassination
Inside the hall of the temple.
Although the purple-robed old man was more respectful, he also had some arrogance, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, how can we sit still and wait to die? But there's no chance."
"That Wu Yuan, he doesn't go down to Yunshan all year round."
"Occasionally go down the mountain, and only stay in the east of Yunshan Mansion, you know very well that it is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for us to get accurate information." The purple-robed old man said, "As for Yunshan? We have also tried to spy on one or two, whether it is sending people or secretly buying them, but in the end there is no trace."
"Again."
"For more than a year, most of our forces in the territory of the Hengyun Sect have been probing the traces of the 'Hidden Knife', and we have no power to take care of Wu Yuan at all." The purple-robed old man defended himself with a series of words.
Dongwang Jinjiu stared at each other.
He knew that the other party was defending and stating the truth.
The power that can be mobilized is not enough, and the Hengyun Sect's protection of Wu Yuan is also unprecedented.
"Wang Huang, what I want is not an explanation, but a result."
Dongwang Jin Jiu said indifferently, "According to the latest information, Wu Yuan is already the first in the Yunwu Palace, and he has broken through the second floor of the Hengtian Pavilion in Yunshan, he is likely to have the strength of a first-class master."
The purple-robed old man listened, and felt helpless in his heart.
Although this information has not yet been fully disseminated, almost all the high-level leaders of the various forces have known about it.
How could he not know?
But what if you know?
Suddenly.
"His Royal Highness the King of the East." A neutral voice suddenly passed from far and near, followed by a phantom flash.
A blue-robed figure appeared in the hall.
He is thin, nearly two meters tall, with an extraordinary bearing, and a pair of eyes that are extremely bright, even in front of the "East King Jinjiu" of the twelfth place list, he has no fear.
"Big brother." The blue-robed old man spoke.
"Lu Jiangyin!" Dongwang Jinjiu frowned slightly.
People who understand the situation in Jiangzhou a little bit, when they hear the names of the three people, they instantly understand the identities of the three people present.
The Great Jin Empire, now known as the "Twelve Princes", guards the four prefectures of Jiangzhou.
In fact, everyone knows that the real leaders are the three Earth List Grandmasters - Chen Luo, Lu Jiangyin, and Wang Huang.
Among the three great masters, Chen Jian's ability is the strongest, while Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang are brothers with different surnames who are more united.
The two sides contained each other, which was also a counterbalance to the Great Jin Empire.
"His Royal Highness the King of the East arrived, but he couldn't welcome him from afar, and he hoped to forgive his sins." Lu Jiangyin bowed slightly and arched his hand.
See this scene.
Dongwang Jinjiu's face softened slightly, he knew very well that the two people in front of him were two grandmasters and masters, and they were the two sharp blades of the empire's eastward advance.
It is impossible to really punish.
Grandmasters and masters are all proud.
Just like Grandmaster Chen Luo, even if it is not good to protect the Nine Emperor Princes and cause him to die, he will only cut the matter.
"The lawyer."
"In the past few years, whether it is the Hidden Knife, or Wu Yuan and Xu Hui, these threats have not been eradicated." Dongwang Jinjiu said softly, "You have to give me an explanation."
"It's because we can't do anything." Lu Jiangyin said in a low voice: "Let His Royal Highness the East King worry about it, and I have to go to Jiangzhou."
is different from the purple-robed old man Wang Huang.
Lu Jiangyin did not defend at all.
Dongwang Jinjiu, as their direct boss, went to Jiangzhou to ask for the guilt, so he must be angry.
Admit your mistakes and be honest!
What is the actual situation, does it matter? Important, but even more important is the attitude of admitting mistakes.
Attitude matters.
"Okay, I also know that you are dealing with all sides, the situation is complicated, and the power in your hands is not enough." Dongwang Jinjiu nodded: "I don't blame you."
"But."
"At this point, the situation must be resolved." Dongwang Jinjiu said calmly, "Can you discuss a plan?"
Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang glanced at each other.
"Second brother, the plan you made,
Tell the king of the east." Lu Jiangyin said.
He knew that his second brother had just hated the East King, so he wanted to give the other party the opportunity to express himself and ease the relationship between them.
"Your Highness."
Wang Huang is straightforward, but he is not stupid, he understands that his eldest brother is giving him a chance, and said, "We have made a two-fold plan, and we are about to report it, Your Highness, you are here."
"Tell me." Dongwang Jinjiu remained silent.
"First, the bounty." The purple-robed old man Wang Huang said, "Let the forces such as the Seven Star Tower, the Nine Killing Mansion and the Nine Killing Mansion go and ......."
"It's hard." Dongwang Jinjiu shook his head directly.
Veto!
"The top master has a chance to kill Wu Yuan, but the risk is extremely high, not many people are willing, Wu Yuan's reward has always been there, but no one can complete it." Dongwang Jinjiu said indifferently, "As for the Grandmaster? The price of letting the Grandmasters of the Seven Star Towers and the Nine Killing Mansions dispatch is extremely high."
Wang Huang and Lu Jiangyin couldn't help nodding.
Kill a secret knife, the Great Jin Empire is willing to give 100 million taels of silver!
and even pay the price of a set of immortal arts.
Can you kill Wu Yuan? First, the talent shown by the other party is not so terrifying, and second, Wu Yuan's strength is still weak, and there can be more arrangements with less cost.
The most important.
It is an unspoken rule that all parties in the world abide by, and the grandmaster of the earth list will not easily make a move on the martial artists below the grandmaster.
For the grandmaster master, the million army is useless, once he goes crazy to assassinate, how many days can he stop it?
"Second?" Dongwang Jinjiu asked.
"According to the information we have gathered, Wu Yuan, every year during the Chinese New Year, he will go down the mountain and go home once." Wang Huang said: "Although the defense of Yunshan Mansion is strong, it is not difficult for the masters at the top of the list to sneak in."
"According to the time, Wu Yuan is about to go down the mountain."
"Therefore, we plan to send several top masters to infiltrate Yunshan Mansion together."
"Assassination." Wang Huang said solemnly: "After the first wave of assassinations, no matter whether it is successful or not, retreat immediately."
Dongwang Jinjiu listened.
The plan sounds simple.
But in fact, this is the norm, and the real conspiracy cannot be reversed seven or eight times, because human nature is difficult to distinguish and human hearts are unpredictable.
The so-called omission and clever plan are mostly the imagination of literati.
Crushing with absolute strength and winning with dignity is what the vast majority of wise people want.
"Well, assassinating in Yunshan Mansion will be much easier than assassinating in Yunshan." Dongwang Jinjiu said softly, "However, only arranging a few top masters may not be successful."
"Maybe they'll all fall in."
"Wang Huang!"
"Since it is your plan, you are the most suitable person, and this trip is better than you go once." Dongwang Jinjiu said lightly.
"Me?" Wang Huang's pupils shrank.
He couldn't help but look at his eldest brother.
"His Royal Highness the King of the East."
Lu Jiangyin frowned: "If the Grandmaster makes a move, then Wu Yuan naturally has no reason to be spared, but Bu Yu and Huan Jian are afraid that they will go crazy."
Once the fragile balance is broken.
The outcome is difficult to predict.
"I hope that when the time comes, Bu Yu will be angry and bring his sword to Jinyang City." Dongwang Jinjiu said softly, "For the next period of time, I will sit in Jinyang."
"Don't worry too much."
"Bu Yu is nearly 100 years old, and Huan Jian is selfish."
"Wu Yuan is the only big threat to the future of the Hengyun Sect." Dongwang Jinjiu said slowly: "We can't stay any longer, we must eradicate Wu Yuan before the Battle of Dingjiang breaks out."
"Otherwise."
"After the big war, Wu Yuan is likely to escape from Yunshan and hide for more than ten years, and when he becomes a grandmaster or even a great grandmaster, it will be difficult to eradicate it again." Dongwang Jinjiu said.
Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang were both suffocated.
Grand Master?
In the world, the top ten of the "Earth List" are generally called the Great Grandmasters, but in fact, the Grandmasters of the Earth List generally refer to the "Peak Grandmaster Strong" as the Great Grandmaster
。
In the world, there are only twenty or thirty great grandmasters with the strength of great masters.
Looking at Wanli Jiangzhou, there are only two great masters.
One is Grandmaster Yu, the leader of the Hengyun Sect, and the other is "Chu Ping", the king of Baijiang.
With these two people, it will be difficult for the Great Jin Empire to conquer Jiangzhou, which shows how terrible the deterrence and combat power of the Great Grandmaster are.
"The Battle of Dingjiang? What is it?" Lu Jiangyin suddenly asked.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you first, after all, by May at the latest, you will be notified and let them prepare." Dongwang Jin Jiu said slowly: "I have discussed with Your Majesty that in October this year, the seventh, eighth, and ninth major legions of the Jin Holy Army will be marched to Chuzhou."
"Early next year, we will enter Jinyang!"
Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang couldn't help but be surprised, the Jin Holy Army was the most elite army of the Great Jin Empire, and it was the Imperial Forest Army!
It was divided into nine legions, with a total of 90,000 men.
It doesn't sound like much, but it must be known that every sergeant of the Jin Holy Army is a master of entry, and it is the most elite and powerful army in the entire world.
The commander of each legion is a master of the Grandmaster!
Mobilize the three major legions, which can defeat a million troops.
"In November of this year, the king of the north will lead 100,000 iron horsemen in Yuanzhou to go down."
"In March next year, 60,000 Minzhou sailors will go north and merge with 60,000 Chuzhou sailors, a total of 120,000 sailors, and enter Jiangzhou along the river." Dongwang Jin Jiu said: "When the army gathers and the grandmasters gather, it is planned to launch the "Battle of Dingjiang" before June next year, go down the Yunjiang River, go straight to Yunshan City, and then kill Jiudong City, completely pacifying Jiangdong."
"In this battle, 'Wu Chenggong' will be the main commander!"
Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang completely understood.
Ten years after the end of the Battle of Yokoyama, the empire is about to start a war of annihilation again.
The Northern King of the Great Jin Dynasty is the "pillar stone" of the royal family, which is no less than the East King, and he is also a great master.
100,000 Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry, the weakest is also a martial artist.
The 120,000 sailors are all over Chuzhou and Minzhou, and more than half of them are martial artists, who are also elite and extraordinary.
Coupled with the Great Jin Empire's "Eastern Expeditionary Army" in Jiangzhou, a total of 80,000 people.
A total of 300,000 elite troops.
Coupled with the 30,000 Jin Holy Army, this is definitely a terrifying force that can destroy the country.
A duel of armies?
Even if the two major forces of Hengyun Sect and Baijiang King combined, it is impossible for such an army to be an opponent.
Moreover, once the multi-way army gathered, there would be more than a dozen grandmasters alone.
The most important thing is that Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang heard that the commander of the army was not the king of the east or the north, but - Wu Chenggong!
Forty years ago, destroy the Chu River!
Thirty years ago, the three kingdoms of Nanzhou were conquered and wiped out!
Fifteen years ago, 80,000 iron horses rode on Xizhou, and marched 16,000 miles, forcing the Xizhou tribes to surrender and return triumphantly, completely solving the two-hundred-year disaster in the western part of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Recognized as the world's first marshal and the god of war of the Great Jin!
The Great Jin Dynasty and the country are the same as the first-class duke, but they can enter the palace without removing their armor, and they do not visit the king when they see the king, which is the real extreme of people and ministers.
In terms of force, it ranks second in the "Land List"!
The name is the prince, but in fact the king!
Not to mention the North King and the East King, even if the Jin Emperor saw each other, he had to stand up and respectfully call "Old General Lan".
"Is it really Wu Chenggong?" Lu Jiangyin couldn't help but ask.
It's shocking.
"Nature." Dongwang Jinjiu said lightly: "This is top secret, it must not be leaked, you just need to know that the battle of Dingjiang will be a battle of the country."
"Jiangzhou is pacified, and most of the Central Plains is unified."
"If this battle is lost...... Thirty years will be hard to say." Dongwang Jin Jiu said, "So, don't care what the Hengyun Sect thinks."
"You're going to do it."
"Before the Great War, the future threats under the command of the Hengyun Sect and even the King of Baijiang will be uprooted one by one."
"Understood." Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang all responded.
"Wang Huang." Jin Jiu looked at the purple-robed old man and said solemnly, "This time, you
If I can successfully kill Wu Yuan, I will definitely appeal to Your Majesty and reward you with 30 million credits."
Draw a pie and make a promise.
Only then can you let your subordinates do their best.
"Thirty million credits?" The purple-robed old man's eyes lit up.
They worked hard for the Great Jin, naturally not because of how loyal they were.
Interests come first.
In exchange for a set of immortal arts, it is 100 million credits.
In exchange for a drop of Relic Gu Immortal Dew, it only costs 60,000 credits, and you can imagine how rich this reward is.
"Okay."
"Now that the plan has been decided, you should arrange it as soon as possible." Jin Jiu said softly, "I still have to go to Hengshan City to meet Chen Luo."
Soon.
The Eastern King Jin Jiu departed.
There are only two Grandmasters left.
"Second brother, are you really going to go?" Lu Jiangyin frowned.
"Big brother, this is 30 million credits." Wang Huang was quite excited, "Once it is completed, I will not be far from exchanging for a set of 'Immortal Arts'."
"Second brother, calm down!"
Lu Jiangyin shook his head: "Although the immortal art is good, you must also have a life to get it, if you kill Wu Yuan, the news cannot be hidden forever."
"Wu Yuan, it is the hope of the Hengyun Sect, whoever dares to extinguish this hope is to fight with the Hengyun Sect."
"Whoever goes, they will be targeted by Buyu and Huan Jian." Lu Jiangyin said, "Otherwise, why do you think no one dares to accept the bounty task?"
Lu Jiangyin saw this very thoroughly.
"In the battle to pacify Jiangzhou, sooner or later we will have to deal with them." Wang Huang said, "Big brother, there's no need to worry."
"Humph!"
"Hengyun Sect has stood in Jiangzhou for hundreds of years, and the means are unpredictable, not to mention anything else, once Buyu is desperate, are you willing to exchange your life with her?"
Lu Jiangyin snorted coldly: "That Jin Jiu, still sitting in Jinyang? Let's not worry? Hum! If it's really not dangerous, why doesn't he go on it himself?"
Wang Huang also calmed down.
"Big brother, what should I do then?" Wang Huang couldn't help but say.
"The momentum of the Great Jin Dynasty to dominate the world is unstoppable, what we seek is glory, and naturally we want to follow the strongest, but hard bones, let others gnaw it." Lu Jiangyin said: "Jin Jiu asked you to go, you must not go."
Wang Huang nodded.
"Wu Yuan, don't touch him easily."
"You lead the team and take a few top masters to assassinate." Lu Jiangyin said softly: "It's just a success, the credit of picking it up in vain."
"At that time, we will make a big fanfare and publicize that it was those top masters who killed Wu Yuan, let's not attract the hatred of the Hengyun Sect."
"If the assassination fails, don't worry about those top masters."
"Go straight to Xu Hui!"
Lu Jiangyin smiled, "This is also a threat."
"Killing him won't make the two old guys of the Hengyun Sect crazy, but it's enough to give a deal to Jin Jiu."
Wang Huang's eyes lit up: "Big brother is wise."
……
Yunshan Mansion, Yunshan.
In the past year, Wu Yuan swept the disciples of the Yunwu Hall with an almost invincible attitude, and then broke through the second floor of the "Hengtian Pavilion".
His prestige in the Yunwu Hall has reached its peak.
Meantime.
The display of the strength of a first-class master, which was comparable to that of a first-class master, also shocked the entire sect, and soon there was a cry.
It is necessary to promote Wu Yuan from a disciple of the True Transmission to the "True Transmission of Heavenly Martial Arts".
Not only are the top masters and first-class masters of the Department of Finance and Industry, but even the Teaching Hall has a voice.
It's just that everything was pressed down by the Taishang.
Wu Yuan's rapid growth and the spread of the news also shocked all parties, and there were undercurrents surging.
But.
These voices could not affect Wu Yuan at all.
He is still cultivating step by step.
More than ten days after the annual competition, Wu Yuan came to the Caigong Hall and met Elder Huan.
"Elder."
"Come to you, two
thing." Wu Yuan smiled, "First, I applied to participate in a trial mission."
The disciples of the Yunwu Palace, especially the disciples of the upper court, the sect will arrange various trial tasks.
The sect cultivates disciples, not raising flowers in a greenhouse, and it looks good.
The ultimate goal is to fight and fight!
Without life and death, without going through wind and rain, even if the strength is strong and the skills are high, ten percent of the strength is likely to only play three or five percent.
"Trials Mission?"
Elder Huan frowned at first, then nodded and said, "Well, the Supreme Master has told me, and when there is a suitable task, I will inform you."
"After all, regular guard missions and patrol missions are not suitable for you."
Wu Yuan couldn't help but nodded.
The trial task is not all fighting, killing and killing, like "Huan Xinyan" serving as a teacher in the martial arts academy, which is a kind of trial.
Like becoming a civil and military general in a government and a county, it is also a trial.
"What else?" Elder Huan said.
"Go down the mountain and go home for the New Year." Wu Yuan said.
"Down the mountain?"
Elder Huan looked at Wu Yuan and said in a low voice, "Wu Yuan, do you know that you have broken through the second floor of the Hengtian Pavilion, and now, the attention of all forces will only be higher."
"I know." Wu Yuan said lightly.
"And you're going down the mountain?" Elder Huan frowned
"Elder, I now have the strength of a first-class master, and I have some power to protect myself." Wu Yuan shook his head and said, "However, even if I become a top master, the Grandmaster Master can kill me, could it be that I will never go down the mountain?"
Elder Huan was dumbfounded.
"Elder rest assured, Yunshan Mansion is quite safe, even if it is a top master, few dare to assassinate in the east of the city." Wu Yuan said: "Besides, I will use Yi Gu to go down the mountain again, and I will not enter the mansion with great fanfare."
"Not many people know."
"Elder, at most three to five days, after spending time with your family, you will return to the mountain." Wu Yuan said with a smile.
"Okay, then you have to be careful." Elder Huan could only nod.
Say goodbye to Elder Huan.
Wu Yuan walked on the avenue.
"Assassination?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's just that there is no assassination, if you come to assassinate, it will save a lot of effort."
Notice.
In the last battle of Yunjiang, the blood-colored mist obtained by Wu Yuan had been almost exhausted for most of the past half a year.
I need to add it.
He stayed on the cloud mountain for two more days.
It wasn't until the day before the Chinese New Year that Wu Yuan had a good chance of exerting his bones, silently, and left Yunshan.
……
Entering Yunshan City, Wu Yuan first walked along the street.
The streets and alleys, and the bustle of the crowds, made Wu Yuan, who had long been accustomed to tranquility, feel a lot of waves in his heart.
"Fireworks."
Wu Yuan wandered around casually, looking at the bargaining of vendors and passers-by in the streets and alleys, and couldn't help but smile: "The crowd of people is the people's peace, and the traffic is the world."
Wu Yuan, stepping on the rivers and mountains of Jiangzhou.
He walked through the Yuanhu Mansion under the rule of Yuanhu Villa, passed through the Nanyun Mansion under the rule of the King of Baijiang, and even went to the Great Dragon Mansion where human life was like grass mustard and chaos.
"Comparatively speaking, under the rule of the Hengyun Sect, it is not bad for ordinary people." Wu Yuan has seen the light and knows the darkness.
If it is said that penance in the mountains, eating qi, and refining qi are out of the dust and birth.
It will make the cultivator feel that "the heaven and the earth are vast, and my life must be fleeting", so occasionally come to the city and immerse yourself in the tour.
It is to bring the soul back to the world!
That's it.
Walking around the way, buying a lot of gifts for his mother and sister, Wu Yuan Yigu returned to his normal appearance and entered the "Wu Mansion" through the side door.
The news of "Childe's return home" quickly spread in the house.
However, up and down the house, it was strictly ordered that the news should not be spread outside, so even if there were several mansions next to it, they didn't know that Wu Yuan was back.
I've seen my mother and sister.
Night falls.
In the house to the east, on the second floor, Kure
Yuan sat here quietly, his mind moved, and his thoughts involuntarily spread out in all directions.
Tons of information rush into the brain!
Within a radius of more than 100 meters, all of them were shrouded in Wu Yuan's divine thoughts, family members, clansmen, and many maids and attendants.
It's all in his clear perception.
"Divine thoughts, it's really magical, is this the means that the Qi Refiners control?" Wu Yuan secretly sighed.
Every time he used his thoughts, he felt magical.
For a martial artist, the Qi Refiner is completely a dimensionality reduction blow.
"Elder Zhang, the ancient hall master, is dedicated." Wu Yuan's mind clearly sensed it.
Just about 100 meters away, on both sides of the Wu Mansion.
There are two masters with extremely vigorous breath of life, each stationed on one side.
In the darkness of the night, it is impossible to see.
But in Wu Yuan's perception, the two of them were as dazzling as fire!
Top Players! Two of you!
And Wu Yuan has seen it before.
One is the "Elder Zhang Changchang" of the Military Martial Palace, and the Jiangzhou people list is thirty-four!
One, Gu Wang, the master of the Supervision Palace, is the fourth on the list of people in Jiangzhou, and he is also the master of Hengyun Sect who is now closest to the Grandmaster Realm.
It's obvious.
After Elder Huan agreed to Wu Yuan going down the mountain, he quickly reported to Yu Taishang, and the Taishang ordered two top masters to secretly follow and protect Wu Yuan.
In fact, on the way down the mountain, Wu Yuan sensed their existence.
"For the New Year, let the two top masters stay here alone." Wu Yuan sighed secretly, and also gave birth to a hint of apology.
I can't explain it.
…… In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the new year began.
Wu Yuan, in addition to his normal daily cultivation, is also rare to accompany his family, and he has been lively for a year.
Snow, falling again.
Floating in the air like catkins, the temperature dropped suddenly, and as night fell, every house closed its door.
Except for the occasional sergeant patrolling by, the streets fell silent.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
In the darkness, several figures braved the wind and snow, flashed past buildings, carefully slid through the streets and alleys, and entered the eastern part of the city.
Finally, I entered an empty room.
"Here, only three miles away from Wu Mansion." The burly "Wang Huang" was shrouded in black robes, revealing only a pair of eyes.
"According to the inside information I got, Wu Yuan has returned to the mansion, and now, he should live on the second floor of the small building on the east side of the house."
"I understand." Wang Huang's gaze swept over the three figures in front of him.
"Yes!"
The three figures nodded one after another.
"Go! Kill Wu Yuan!" Wang Huang waved his hand.
The three of them, who had already changed into their "night clothes", pushed open the window, and floated down the window silently, quickly heading towards the Wu Mansion.
