Chapter 152: Assassination

In the early morning of the second day, outside the gate of Linghong Capital, I saw that on the lane that was enough for ten horses to run in parallel, the passers-by on the road ran to both sides, and the caravan and carriage all stopped, all looking behind with fearful eyes.

I saw a big black flag with gold characters floating in the air, and below it were all the leading black-armored cavalry, all the cavalry masks under the pair of indifferent eyes, looking ahead as if no one was around, so that the people next to them consciously held their breath, not daring to make any sound, for fear of provoking the attention of the cavalry.

At this time, there was silence outside the city gate, and dozens of high-level officials of Zhongyi Hall such as Chen Feihai and Zhang Er were waiting quietly.

The most conspicuous thing in front of the Black Cavalry Legion is Li Yuan, who is wearing purple gold dragon armor, with a majestic face and a heroic posture!

The guards on both sides are Chen Wei and Fan Jianqiang.

Seeing the people of Zhongyi Hall waiting at the city gate, Li Yuan's fierce gaze softened, and when they were still a hundred meters away from the city gate, Li Yuan bowed slightly, and Chen Wei, who exuded a heavy momentum beside him, raised his arm and ordered the march to stop.

In an instant, the legions behind stopped at the same time, and one by one they were extremely calm.

Li Yuan took Chen Wei and Fan Jianqiang to the city gate.

When Chen Feihai and Zhang Er saw that the King of Chu had come alone, their originally anxious hearts immediately settled down, and they respected Li Yuan even more, and hurriedly led everyone to come forward to greet them.

"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Chen Feihai, Zhang Er and others bent down and bowed their hands, and the sound was shocking.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Li Yuan dismounted and walked forward, came to everyone's side, his face was majestic but with a touch of kindness, and he stretched out his hand to help everyone!

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Chu!"

Chen Feihai was the first to get up, his face was not as arrogant as before, he was a little restrained, not only him, but also everyone in the Zhongyi Hall behind him, one by one, like a student in the academy, standing respectfully, trembling a little in his heart.

This is the King of Chu, the King of Chu who is about to dominate Lingzhou!

They can't stop the momentum exuded by Li Yuan alone, not to mention the imposing army behind Li Yuan, who is not stunned when they see it.

More and more people watched from afar at the city gate, and there were many spies from small and medium-sized families in the crowd to find out what attitude the arrival of the King of Chu was.

Seeing the restrained appearance of everyone, Li Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"You don't have to be nervous, you are all under the command of this king, so you will naturally treat each other together!"

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Chu!"

This group of people worshiped again, and then one by one they kept their mouths shut, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Li Yuan shook his head and smiled, his eyes scanned everyone, and suddenly frowned, looked at Chen Feihai and asked:

"Lord Chen, what about Lord Wu?"

Suddenly, everyone's hearts trembled, and many people looked down at Chen Feihai.

Chen Feihai had a sad and angry expression on his face, but before he could speak, Zhang Er and more than a dozen others immediately knelt down and said:

"Please make the decision for us, Your Highness!"

"Huh!"

Whether it was Chen Weifan who was strong or the businessmen and people on the road, they looked at Zhang Er and others who were kneeling and crying.

Li Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition, looked at Zhang Er and said sharply:

"What's the matter, where is the Lord of Wu Qi, this king must be the master for you!"

Zhang Er cried bitterly and said: "Your Highness, last night Lord Wu specially arranged a pre-banquet in order to welcome the arrival of His Highness, but I didn't expect to be poisoned to death by gangsters!" ”

"What!"

Li Yuan's pupils shrank, and he suddenly took a step forward, staring at Zhang Er and said:

"Lord Wu is dead?"

"That's right, please let Your Highness be the master for us!"

The row of people behind Zhang Er continued to cry and beg.

"Okay, who poisoned Lord Wu Qi, this king will definitely be the master for you!"

A cold light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, a wisp of murderous intent bloomed, the sky seemed to be solemn, and everyone's hearts sank, like a boulder pressing on their hearts.

The big boss who was the first to suspect Chen Feihai last night couldn't wait to point to Chen Feihai and said:

"Your Highness, your subordinates suspect that Chen Feihai is jealous of the Wu Banner Lord and deliberately poisons the Wu Banner Lord!"

Chen Feihai didn't speak, and his subordinates scolded:

"You fart!"

"What the are you talking about!"

"If you have any evidence, you will frame Chen Qizhu."

"That's right, why wasn't Lord Wu's former enemy poisoning him."

With Li Yuan here, the people under Wu Yao's command retorted one by one:

"Hehe, at the banquet last night, apart from the people we were present, how could people outside have the opportunity to poison Lord Wu."

"There must be one of you who is a murderer!"

"Who is the person who has the greatest interest in poisoning the Wu Banner Lord? Needless to say! ”

"Chen Feihai is obviously jealous of our Wu Banner Master, and he is afraid that Wu Banner Master is above him."

"Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness attaches the most importance to Lord Wu Qi, Chen Feihai is jealous!"

The spies, who were originally secretly observing, listened to their arguments, and suddenly realized one by one, and finally knew why Wu Yao didn't come just now.

Wu Yao was poisoned last night!

And the people who poisoned him are likely to exist in the group of Zhongyi Tang, especially Chen Feihai.

He's so motivated!

The people on the lookers more or less knew about Chen Feihai's personality and began to point fingers at Chen Feihai.

In the rear army, Xu Fengwu glanced at everyone in Zhongyi Hall through the car curtain, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, secretly guessing who was Li Yuan's person here!

Or how many of them!

At this time, Li Yuan's face became more and more gloomy.

Chen Feihai took a step, his face was solemn, and he met Li Yuan's gaze and said solemnly:

"Your Highness, I didn't poison Wu Yao, please check it out!"

Li Yuan looked at the people who were still arguing, and reprimanded:

"Quarreling in public, what kind of system have you become!"

A reprimand resounded in everyone's ears, like thunder rolling in the sky.

Everyone's faces turned pale, their hearts shook, and it was not easy to stabilize their bodies and minds.

When everyone looked at Li Yuan again, they were seven points more afraid.

"Now you take this king to the palace to check, this king will definitely find the murderer who poisoned Wu Yao, and this king will not trust any of you, but he will not wronged one of you."

"Master Chen, you lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Chen Feihai saw that Li Yuan let him lead the way, and his heart showed a touch of emotion, it seems that His Royal Highness still believes in himself.

Li Yuan's eyes slanted, and he commanded:

"Commander Chen, you immediately lead a large army to block the city gate, this king suspects that other forces deliberately poisoned the Wu Banner Lord and embarrassed this king!"

"Yes!"

Thundered!

The army moved, and after Li Yuan and Chen Feihai went to the capital, they quickly took control of the Linghong capital.

…………

Inside and outside the capital, rows of terrifying Zhongyi Hall helped the people to surround the Zhuang Mansion.

Last night's maids, cooks, and guards, all pale, cowered together in fear, and they had been held here from last night until now, and their hearts trembled.

Li Yuan looked at them quietly, folding his hands behind his back.

Zhang Er quickly handed over the wine glass that Wu Yao had drunk last night.

"Your Royal Highness, this is the wine glass that Lord Wu Qi drank, when Lord Wu Qi fell, the rest of the wine had been spilled, and then because of the chaos, the wine jug on the table of Lord Wu Qi was also broken, and all of them were spilled, and the remaining wine was not found to be poisonous."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Er's afterglow swept towards Chen Feihai.

"So, someone deliberately broke the wine jug on Wu Qi's main table?"

Li Yuan's gaze swept to the people of Zhongyi Hall,

Everyone looked at each other, and if they wanted to say that there was no inner ghost, no one would believe it.

Chen Feihai's eyes looked at everyone, and he also showed suspicion.

"Come on, detain them, and interrogate them one by one!"

At this moment, Zhang Er, who was beside Li Yuan, knelt down again, with a momentum that he could not find the murderer and swore not to give up, and said righteously:

"The murderer must be among us, begging His Highness to be the master for us, the subordinates know that His Highness doesn't know each of us now, and he doesn't believe us, and the subordinates are willing to prove their innocence and cooperate with His Highness's investigation, please detain Your Highness!"

"Please detain your subordinates!"

Soon, when the people behind Zhang Er saw Zhang Er's behavior, they also knelt on the ground one by one, their eyes calm.

They didn't do it anyway!

What are you afraid of!

So, they looked at the rest of them

The rest of the people immediately understood what they meant, and their faces were not convinced, so they all knelt down and said:

"The subordinates are also willing to prove their innocence, please ask Your Highness to interrogate your subordinates!"

Only Chen Feihai and a few cronies were present.

At this moment, their standing figures were particularly conspicuous, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.

Li Yuan's gaze turned to Chen Feihai, and the doubt in his eyes flashed.

How could Chen Feihai not notice the suspicion in Li Yuan's eyes, and suddenly half-knelt down and said:

"Your Highness, Wu Yao was not poisoned by me, I have a clear conscience, and I am willing to cooperate with His Highness's investigation and prove my innocence!"

Suddenly, the high-level personnel of Zhongyi Hall knelt down one by one and begged Li Yuan, begging Li Yuan to detain them and prove their innocence.

Li Yuan frowned slightly, and finally agreed:

"Okay, this king has temporarily arranged a room for each of you, ask and review them one by one, and you will stay in the room with peace of mind for the next few days, thinking back to what happened last night, and this king will send professionals to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"In addition, this king will also investigate other forces, if you think of any force that was hostile to Wu Yao, you can tell it, and this king will review these forces one by one!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone responded in unison.

…………

Just when Li Yuan was planning to use Wu Yao's poisoning to quickly eliminate some forces in Linghong Mansion, the Leng Ao Sword sent by Zhou Yan had arrived in Lingrong's capital city.

He stood on the crowded street, looked at the government office next to the street, and walked up.

"Stop, who are you!"

In front of the government office, the official intercepted his way.

Leng Aojian looked at the two servants standing in front of him, and said lightly:

"Please go and tell your lord that I have great respect for the King of Chu and have come to seek refuge in the King of Chu!"

Suddenly, a breath of the peak of the grandmaster faintly revealed.

The officer's eyes moved, the grandmaster is strong!

Suddenly, the two of them showed solemn expressions, and one said:

"Wait a moment, I'll report to you immediately."

"Hmm!"

Leng Aojian stood in the middle of the mansion gate and nodded lightly.

In the lobby, several desks were covered with volumes of government affairs, and several civil officials kept sorting out and reviewing them, and handed them to Xun Yu in the middle.

Xun Yu lowered his head and carefully read the contents of the volume, volume by volume.

During this time, he had just taken control of Lingrong Mansion, and there were too many government affairs.

"My lord, there is a strong grandmaster outside the door who has come to take refuge."

The official quickly stepped into the lobby and reported to Xun Yuyu, who was handling government affairs.

"Well, go ask him in."

Xun Yu didn't raise his head and continued to deal with the full table of government affairs.

For small and medium-sized forces, one grandmaster is enough to become their pillar, and if a grandmaster joins, they will be ecstatic.

But now Xun Yu said that he was very indifferent, and the number of grandmasters who had taken refuge in the Chu Wangfu had reached thirteen in recent times.

"Yes!"

As soon as the official left, a brisk figure stepped into the lobby.

"Lord Xun, Lord Xun, I finally succeeded in recruiting Master An."

Nangong Xiyue, who has a graceful figure and is pure and lovely, quickly came to Xun Yu's desk and said happily.

"Oh, yes!"

Xun Yu raised his head and showed a hint of a smile, he knew that Guo Lao that Nangong Xiyue was talking about was a down-and-out Tianwu Realm powerhouse she had met among the people.

"Yes, Master An has already agreed to be Xiao Si's master."

At this moment, an old man slowly stepped into the lobby, his lips were thin, the bridge of his nose was very straight, his face was square, his eyes were a little cloudy, and a long knife with a sheath hanging from his waist.

looked at Xun Yu, who raised his head, and said slowly:

"An Sheng meets Lord Xun."

"Master An has been admired for a long time."

Xun Yu smiled in return, and looked An Sheng up and down with a pair of deep eyes.

An Sheng stood still, letting Xun Yu scrutinize.

"Master An, please take a seat."

Xun Yu had already put down his pen and invited An Sheng to sit down.

"Hee-hee, adults take a rest first."

Nangong Xiyue beckoned the maids to serve tea to these civil officials.

"Thank you, Miss Nangong."

The civil officials in the lobby showed a look of relief, put down the political scroll in their hands, took the teacup, and looked at the cheerful Nangong Xiyue with a smile, with a trace of respect in their eyes.

"My lord, the Grandmaster powerhouse who came to take refuge has been brought."

At this time, the official had also brought Leng Aojian into the lobby.

When Leng Aojian stepped into the lobby, Xun Yu and An Sheng, who were chatting with Nangong Xiyue, wrinkled at the same time, because they had already sensed that the aura on Leng Aojian's body was more than the Grandmaster Realm.

If you have come to take refuge, why hide it?

And Leng Aojian saw Xun Yu's portrait, so he naturally recognized Xun Yu, but when he saw that there was a Tianwu Realm powerhouse next to Xun Yu, he glanced at it lightly.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Leng Aojian's posture, Xun Yu looked at Leng Aojian with puzzled eyes.

"The one who took your life!"

But suddenly!

Leng Aojian's eyes were sharp, and he rushed towards Xun Yu, and the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed!

Boom!

The blade of the sword is unsheathed, and the edge is exposed!

This sword is extremely fast.

In an instant, the long sword of the Leng Ao Sword had already stabbed in front of Xun Yu's eyes.

Then!

The sword light flashed, the cold light was like snow, a crisp sound came out, and the two figures stopped!

Hey!

Leng Aojian suddenly showed a hint of surprise, curious that this ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm late-stage powerhouse could block him so easily.

Although he is also in the late stage of the Tianwu Realm, he is not an ordinary late stage of the Tianwu Realm, he once slashed the Tianwu Realm with the peak of the grandmaster, and the sword he just now is enough to kill the powerhouses of the late stage of the Tianwu Realm with one sword!

Boom!

The sword is as bright as snow!

An Sheng saw that he had come to assassinate Xun Yu, and there was a murder in his eyes!

As An Sheng's knife was slashed, a sense of desolation and sadness filled the surrounding space, like the sword light of snow.

"Huh!"

A terrifying sword momentum rushed out, faintly, as if distorting the air, the long sword in Leng Ao's hand, the blade was cold, piercing everything!

"Block!"

Swords collide, and suddenly there is a loud thunder!

Even if both of them are top sword masters, the momentum that leaks out makes the tables and chairs within three feet of the surroundings turn into nothingness, surrounded by energy!

And Xun Yu, Nangong Xiyue and the others had already withdrawn from the lobby the moment they fought.

"There are assassins!"

"There are assassins!"

The civil servants ran out quickly, shouting.

Rumble!

In the distance, the Chu Wangfu, which had just moved in, exploded with an amazing momentum!

Jiang Lao at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm!

Leng Aojian sensed Jiang Lao's momentum in the distance, his indifferent eyes swept over Xun Yu, and a sideways body instantly crossed An Sheng, rushed out of the lobby, and killed Xun Yu

A terrifying sword burst out of him.

The invisible sword momentum faintly turned into essence and rushed out from the blade, and the sharp and piercing sword momentum phantom rose into the sky, and the cold sword light flashed in the air.

There is no extraordinarily gorgeous, only a sword!

However, Nangong Xiyue found this Master An is not ordinary,

A shocking cold knife is coming straight after it!

The sword intent rushes into the sky, and the knife gang is extremely sharp, exuding the momentum of cutting everything!

Leng Aojian's face changed slightly, and he sensed the extremely violent sword gang behind him!

Turn around and catch up with Ansheng!

Swords and swords, accompanied by endless killing opportunities!

Rumble!

The swords collided, and the horror exploded!

Dozens of meters around, swords, sword marks, and deep marks on the ground criss-cross!

Both were shaken twenty meters away!

The sword light flashed, and a huge sword gang slashed towards Xun Yu again.

And after Leng Ao's sword slashed over, the figure reversed to the sky and left quickly.

Suddenly, An Sheng appeared in front of Xun Yu and Nangong Xiyue, the cold light of the big knife in his hand was dazzling, and Dao Gang instantly rose up and collided with Jian Gang!

Rumble!

The aftermath of Gangjin spread everywhere, the ground shook, and the walls of the house cracked.
