Chapter 18: The Last Man Killed by the Assassin

There was already chaos in the temple.

At this time, the guards of the brigade were guarding outside the gate of the Taimiao, and it was not clear what was going on inside the main hall.

And the few guards in the hall were not their enemies at all.

Although these people have not practiced immortal methods, their martial arts are far beyond ordinary people, and they are well-trained to put up a formation, advancing and retreating together.

But their arrogance didn't last long.

Qin Yangwei, who was originally standing at the front of the main hall, immediately reacted, he immediately controlled the Gao Wei closest to Qin Zhengming, and after ensuring Qin Zhengming's safety, he stepped forward with the other Qin family monks in the hall to deal with these twelve people cleanly.

As soon as he knocked out the third man and knocked him unconscious, he found that there were no more Assassins standing around.

Most of the Qin family monks fought in tandem with each other, seeking to level these assassins as quickly as possible.

But the only difference is Qin Luo.

Qin Luo's performance was extremely eye-catching.

He was the first to rush at these Assassins after the group of assassins drew their blades.

Relying on his agile body and the combat awareness that he had almost exercised in his previous life, he easily dodged their slashes and straight stabs in succession.

And his counterattack was sharp and swift, and each punch could hit the vital point of a person, and after the person was put down, he could only curl up in pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the side, and he could no longer lift it.

Therefore, this group of assassins, Qin Luo alone solved one-third.

The dust settled.

The center of the main hall.

Qin Zhengming's face was very calm, and he stood still.

When this group of assassins made a move just now, his expression was like this, he didn't have any panic, but he threw a concerned look at Qin Luo at the first time, wondering if his nephew was okay after being poisoned.

It was his frank and calm kingly demeanor that made the scene no more chaotic.

When things gradually subsided, although he still had that calm look, anyone could perceive that this was the haze before the thunderstorm.

The anger hidden under his extreme repression, when ignited, will bring an irresistible disaster to the Xiyang Kingdom, completely devouring those rebels.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed!

"How dare you bold and reckless people dare to assassinate the widow in the Taimiao?" Qin Zhengming sneered at Gao Wei, who was paralyzed on the ground, "Tell me, how dare you!" ”

In the temple, the tablet of the ancestors of the Qin family is enshrined, which is the most sacred place for the Qin family.

These people come to defile this place like the scales of a dragon.

The eyes of the generals around him were equally cold, looking at Gao Wei like looking at a dead man who had been beheaded on the battlefield.

It's just that it's not just Gao Wei who is going to die.

Within three months, Xiyang will be eliminated and the society will be eliminated!

At this time, Gao Wei knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Wronged...... Wronged...... Woo, the king of Dan spared his life, and the envoy really didn't know. ”

Looking at his trembling appearance, Qin Fufeng, who was standing on the side, snorted coldly and scolded: "When you die, you are still arguing with hard words, if you are happily ambushed, I still think you are a man." ”

And Qin Luo, who was standing in the distance, saw Gao Wei with a face full of fear, and vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Although the turmoil has been calmed down, everything seems to be too smooth, and there are too many doubts in his heart, which cannot be explained in his heart.

For example, now Gao Wei is trembling and frightened and kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, which is too obvious in contrast to the calm performance when he presented the picture before.

If Gao Wei could pretend to be like that before, it proves that his psychological quality is excellent, even if he is caught, he should not become such a clown as he is now.

Unless......

Gao Wei is really a poor worm who has been kept in the dark and unaware, as he cried out.

So his calm expression before was not pretended, but he really didn't know that the two pictures he was holding in his hand had poisonous powder on them, so he was fearless.

Then, the commander of all this must be someone else, and it is certainly not among the remaining twelve members of the mission, after all, those people are obviously trained as samurai, and used as cannon fodder, and it is unlikely that they are smart people.

And this time their assassination operation was meticulous, and it was obviously planned by a master.

If it weren't for Qin Luo, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Because as the treasure of the Xiyang Kingdom, that landscape painting will definitely be carefully maintained, and it should never be covered with a layer of fine ash.

After that, he chose not to startle the snake, and went directly to check the topographic map of Qishan in silence, and found the existence of mixed poisons.

Fortunately, Qin Zhengyang did not directly touch the two scrolls in a row, otherwise it would have been very dangerous.

After some reasoning, Qin Luo gradually clarified the cause and effect in his heart.

So it's not over yet.

The existence of the fourteenth person who disappeared is the key.

Meanwhile.

One person was slowly moving in the crowd, approaching Qin Zhengyang's back.

His breathing rate was a little faster than usual, and the hand holding the knife hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly.

On weekdays, he pampered himself, but he didn't expect that one day he would have to kill people with his own hands.

Obviously, their plans are so thorough, and even the short knives are brought in for them.

It's all to blame for those people who are too wasteful, and they even sent a picture to cause problems.

There are also the wastes of the twelve wastes, and they claim to be able to fight against a hundred people when they join forces, but they are not all solved by two interest, and they are waste!

The result of these wastes.

Even the person he wants to kill now is a king who has to worship every day, and even appreciates himself.

But as a shadow that has been buried for thirty years, if he doesn't do it......

At that time, if the various information that he had frequently transmitted before was exposed by the people behind him, he would also die a tragic death.

"The minister is forced to be helpless." Wu Yong said silently in his heart.

Fear, excitement, and guilt mixed together, and he turned the dagger he had held in his backhand around and sent it forward.

The next second.

What he felt was not the stagnation of the tip of the knife piercing into his flesh, but a sharp pain from the hand holding the knife, which made him exhale in pain.

Accompanied by his screams, there was a "clang" sound when the dagger fell to the ground.

The hearts of everyone in the hall who had calmed down were lifted again.

And Qin Luo, who was seven steps away, clapped his hands with satisfaction.

It seems that the flying stone beating skills he trained in his previous life are still not rusty.

He had been waiting a long time for the last Assassin to strike.

Not to mention, the assassin was not sophisticated.

When he crept close to Qin Zhengming, as long as he paid attention, he could easily find out that something was wrong with him, not to mention the person who had been highly concentrated in Qin Luo's spirit, observing the wind and grass around him.

However, when he caught a glimpse of the assassin's face, he was somewhat surprised.

I didn't expect that the fourteenth person would be Wu Yong.

After all, Wu Yong is in charge of the household department, and he is in a high position in Danguo.

But it is precisely because he is in a high position that he still commits treason, and he deserves death!

And Qin Luo suppressed the anger in his heart, and a systematic prompt appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations to players for achieving the new achievement: Protecting the King.] 】

[Reward: Gain 30 attribute points, which can be used to improve the player's own attributes.]

Obtain the Xuan-tier high-grade prop Heart Protector - Indestructible, Life-Saving Artifact. No matter how strong the opponent's attack is, it can block the player from three critical damages. 】

Qin Luo took a cursory glance at the effect of this reward prop, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The function of this prop can be said to be surprisingly good.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a limit to the number of times he could resist fatal damage, then Qin Luo would even think that this prop would be far more than a high-grade product.

After all, the words "no matter how strong the opponent's attack is" are the most powerful proof of it.

It can even be said that it makes up for Qin Luo's biggest deficiency now.

If you face a truly powerful cultivator by yourself, you will die for a lifetime.

That chance of surviving is the confidence given by this heart goggle.

After Qin Luo hurriedly scanned the system display, he naturally disappeared into the crowd and returned to Qin Buyu's side.

"Ran, brother, are you okay? Those people just now were very fast. Qin Buyu pursed his lips and asked worriedly.

After all, although Qin Luo's performance in the fight just now was dazzling, in the eyes of outsiders, every step was thrilling.

"It's good that these few young people who don't enter the stream can touch the corners of my clothes." Qin Luo smiled and waved his hand, "Instead of worrying about this, let's think about what we'll eat later." ”

Seeing his calm expression, Qin Buyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she was taken away from the topic by Qin Luo, and began to discuss which restaurant in the city had the best taste and which restaurant had a more homely taste.

When the ancestor worship is finished, they can go and have a good taste together.

After all, Qin Luo knew it in his heart.

Now the affairs in the palace are handed over to Qin Zhengming and them to deal with, but it is not appropriate to get involved in it with their own identity.

What's more, this time I should be the first to escort myself, and all kinds of rewards afterwards must be indispensable.

It's just that the scene in the hall is still a little chaotic now, and the most important thing is to deal with assassins and traitors.

So it doesn't hurt for him to wait any longer.

His performance is obvious to all, and the reward will eventually come to his own hands.

At this time.

Qin Zhengming turned around, and several generals of the Qin family quickly formed a winged shape at the moment when the dagger landed, arching him in the middle.

He stared at Wu Yong, who was holding his bleeding right hand with his left hand rather disappointed.

Qin Luo's hand was quite heavy just now, so although Wu Yong didn't continue to shout now, the expression on his face was still grinning.

Facing Qin Zhengming's gaze, Wu Yong kowtowed and said: "The minister deserves to die, and the minister is willing to be cut by a thousand knives." But Wan'er is for no reason, please let the king leave her a way out. ”

The Wan'er in Wu Yong's mouth is a woman from the Qin family, and Wu Yong gradually entered the core of Dan's power by marrying her back then.

Qin Zhengming sneered: "This shouldn't be something you should worry about now, you better think about how to explain what you know later." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, and rushed to the guards in the main hall to drag Wu Yong away directly from the ground.

And Qin Zhengming rubbed his eyebrows, obviously today's series of changes made him also haggard.

What's more, compared to the assassination of outsiders, the rebellion of the courtiers who obviously trusted him hit him harder.

He used to regard Wu Yong as a minister, and in addition to the Qin family, his trust in Wu Yong can be ranked in the top five.

But he knew that he still couldn't give up his food.

After that, although he had to clean the court for a while, he couldn't distrust his foreign surname because of this.

He took a deep breath and looked at the others in the main hall, now that the chaos in the hall was over, most of them looked at him in unison.

Qin Zhengming turned around and bowed to the tablet, then turned around and said calmly: "Next, the ancestor worship link will be postponed, and the ancestors will be sacrificed again the day after tomorrow to comfort the ancestors' frightened spirits today." ”

"Whoa!" Everyone agreed, and slowly exited the main hall.

As an ancestor, Qin Luo was also mixed in the crowd, and dragged Qin Buyu to the Yingsifang Restaurant, which had the best reputation in the city.

When the crowd dispersed, only Qin Zhengming, Qin Fufeng and Qin Yangwei were left in the hall, as well as a few guards on duty at the door.

Qin Zhengming was silent for a long time before he sighed and said: "When Wu Yong's moth appears, it means that the undiscovered moths may have been all over the court, it seems that I have been too tolerant of them over the years."

After all, I think that the opponents of Dan now are mainly external, so everyone should work together to develop the country, but I didn't expect that I hoped so much, but they didn't think so.

Afterword...... Then wash it and kill the moths. ”

Hearing this, Qin Yangwei and Qin Fufeng glanced at each other.

They knew that the next court would inevitably be a bloody storm, and the vegetable market would be crowded.

As for how far to kill......

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yangwei stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, just now the traitor Wu Yong prayed for trouble and Qin Wan'er, I don't know what the king wants?" ”

"Plotting rebellion, when punishing the nine clans, although Qin Wan'er is a member of the royal family, there is no need for the clan to be wiped out, but she herself has been married to the rebel for more than ten years, how can she get away with the crime?" Qin Zhengming said lightly.

"Yes." When Qin Yangwei heard Qin Zhengming say this, he nodded and retreated.

After all, the king's attitude is already obvious.

This time the killing ring is opened, and I am afraid that many people of the Qin clan will not be spared.

Seeing this, Qin Fufeng changed his words and said: "Your Majesty, the performance of the Qin family's disciples today is still good, and they have meritorious service, especially Qin Ran, who is the most slack in cultivation on weekdays, is the most meritorious, and he found that the assassin did not say anything, and the performance of the follow-up capture of the assassin was also very good." ”

When Qin Zhengming heard this, he showed a look of relief, sighed and said, "Fufeng, what you said is right, I will summon Ran'er tomorrow and ask him about his plans in the future." Our Qin family's Qilinzi can't just be buried, after all, the future Dan Kingdom belongs to the next generation of them. ”

Qin Fufeng and Qin Yangwei bowed at the same time and said, "The king is heroic." ”

……

In the autumn of the twenty-first year of Yuanjing, King Zhuang worshiped his ancestors in Taimiao, was assassinated, fortunately blessed by the spirit of the ancestors, the assassin was captured, and the king was fine. - "Old Dan Book"

This is the official content that has been handed down.

And folk rumors, at that time, the situation in the temple was in crisis, relying on a god to settle the matter, but the record of the person who shot was not recorded in the annals, although there are many rumors, but the information about the identity of the person does not seem to be reliable, as if it was deliberately hidden.
