Chapter 87: Assassination
After some communication, the four of them began to wander the streets,
"Feng Xian, Yu Jianren, they are all back?" Yehong asked.
"No, only my sister and I have returned, and both of them are still in the Imperial Army. I heard Tutor Li say that you went to the imperial capital, how were you there? ”
"I stayed there for a while, but it didn't take long for me to come back. What are you cultivating now? ”
"The fourth layer of the Condensation Realm! It's you, can you cultivate now? ”
"Not yet, but I believe it should be soon, I've already found an idea."
Ye Hong was just about to continue talking, when Miao Miao leaned over and whispered to Ye Hong: "Brother Ye Hong, someone is following us, and the cultivation is not low, there should be a cultivation of the ninth layer of the Qi Condensation Realm. ”
"It's supposed to protect the wind! After all, he is also the son of the city lord, and it should be normal to have a few guards who are secretly protecting him when he goes out. ”
Miao Miao continued: "It's not like it, I feel the killing intent from them. ”
"If that's the case, then you should pay attention." Yehong reminded.
The four of them wandered around for a while and came to a remote place. At this time, the few people hiding in the shadows finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards Yehong and the others.
Seeing this, Miao Miao hurriedly blocked the attacks of several people and said, "Who are you?" Why assassinate us? ”
"I didn't expect to meet a hard stubble, little girl, we have no ill will towards you, you hand over that young man to us, and you can leave." The leader pointed to the wind and said.
Yehong asked Feng Xian on the side: "Aren't they your bodyguards?" ”
"It's not! I haven't seen them. ”
Yehong continued to ask: "Since it's not to protect you, it's to kill you, who did you provoke?" ”
Feng Xian was also puzzled for a while, and the person in charge opposite said again: "Have you discussed it?" If you don't want to make friends, then I'll have to solve it with you! ”
"Can you tell me why you killed him?" Yehong asked the few people who surrounded them.
"Looks like you're not going to hand it over! Brothers! Let's go together, solve this little girl first! ”
Seeing that the few people surrounding him didn't intend to say anything at all, Yehong had no choice but to signal Miaomiao to beat all of them down. After a while, Miaomiao knocked everyone to the ground and piled them together, without the power to resist at all, and the Fengxian next to him looked stupid.
Ye Hong then stepped forward and asked, "I said this hideous-looking assassin, you can answer my question now!" Why did you kill him? ”
Several assassins were beaten by Miaomiao, their noses and faces were swollen, and they immediately regretted it in their hearts, and when they saw Yehong's question, they hurriedly begged for mercy and begged for mercy, telling everything they knew.
It turned out that these people were robbers, and they were just hired by someone to assassinate Feng Xian, but they didn't know who the employer was, and when they saw that the employer had offered a high price to assassinate a person who was only at the fourth level of the Condensation Realm, they took the job.
Yehong suddenly thought that this employer must be the one who went to the Adventurers' Association to issue a bounty, because he didn't issue a task for him, so he could only find a nearby mountain bandit to pick up the job.
"Feng Xian, are you sure you haven't provoked anyone? You think about it. ”
Feng Xian, who had just come back to his senses next to him, saw Yehong ask like this, and began to think hard,
"I've been training in the Imperial Army for the past few years, so I shouldn't have offended anyone, even if it's those who I've had a holiday in the army, they won't invite someone to assassinate me, and they're more than half a month away from Xihai City, and they don't know that I'm from Xihai City."
"What about before you go to the training?"
Feng Xian said again: "What I said before was a holiday, it should be only my brother Feng Xuanyu, but it is impossible for him to find someone to assassinate me!" ”
Ye Hong analyzed for a while and said, "It's not impossible, have you touched any interests of Feng Xuanyu!" ”
Seeing that Feng Xian still shook his head, Ye Hong could only tell Feng Xian a few more words, let him beware of Feng Xuanyu, for the sake of the safety of the nightingale, or ask the two of them not to meet alone for the time being, and wait until the behind-the-scenes employer is found.
After Feng Xian went back to tell his father and mother about the nightingale, unexpectedly, the city lord agreed to this family affair and had no intention of objecting. It's just that for someone to assassinate Feng Xian, he attaches great importance to it, so that Feng Xian is not allowed to go out for the next two months, and can only stay in the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Hong also went back to Dihai City for the sake of leisure, and asked the Intelligence Hall to investigate the matter, but because the person who issued the bounty came to that time, he did not reappear after that, and Xihai City did not install the personnel of the Intelligence Hall, so there was no way to investigate, so this matter could only be shelved.
During the two months that Yehong waited, Xiao Feng and Xing Fei also finished the affairs of Tomb Mountain City and returned to Dihai City. Yehong is also stepping up the construction of the Heavenly Sword City branch of the Shadow Building.
Two months later, the Xihai City Lord's Mansion held a sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and Nightingale's family was also invited.
Although Xihai City is a small city, there are many people who come to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. People who are a little famous in the city have come, and the entire city lord's mansion is very lively. Yehong could also see from this that the Lord of Windy City was still a very kind person.
As soon as Yehong walked into the city lord's mansion, Feng Xian came over to welcome the arrival of Ye Hong, but it seemed that Feng Xian's focus was not on Ye Hong, just staring at the nightingale, and the nightingale also pounced on Feng Xian, the two of them are you and me.
"I said you two are enough! Don't pay attention to the occasion, there are so many of us here! ”
The two of them were suddenly a little embarrassed and let go of their hands. At this time, Feng Qingya appeared in front of Yehong and several people,
"Huh! The sour smell of love, no wonder my brother didn't pay much attention to me after he came back! ”
"Qingya, long time no see! You're getting more and more beautiful, why didn't your Jianren come back with you. Yehong said.
Feng Qingya also recognized Yehong and the two at this time, was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Yehong! Sister Miaomiao! Think I didn't! ”
Immediately a few people chatted, Feng Qingya has not seen Yehong and the two for a few years, and his personality is still so lively, and he asks questions about Yehong and the two, like a curious baby,
The two girls were soon able to chat passionately, Feng Qingya took Miaomiao to the back room to whisper, because there was still a long time before the dinner began, and Yehong wandered around the city lord's mansion.
When Yehong walked past a relatively remote house, he suddenly heard someone talking in the house and suddenly stopped.
"You shit! Let you hire people to kill the wind, and it turns out that it has been a few months! It's going to be a coming-of-age ceremony soon, and I'm still alive and well! What do you want? ”
"Young master, we did hire people, but I don't know how they were arrested."
"A bunch of rubbish! Get lost! ”
"Young master, don't get angry, I still have a way, this is a bottle of poison that I got unintentionally, this medicine is colorless and tasteless, it can kill people instantly after taking it, and it also has an effect on cultivators, we can put this medicine into the tea and wine that we drink leisurely, and then ••••••"
Yehong hid in the shadows, and then found several people walking out of the house, one of whom was Feng Xuanyu. Ye Hong was more sure of his conjecture now, and for the safety of Feng Xian, Ye Hong hurriedly went to Feng Xian to inform him of the matter.
Feng Xian was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't believe that it was really Feng Xuanyu who wanted to kill him, but in the end he still obeyed Yehong's will to prevent being poisoned.
Near the beginning of the dinner, a person walked into the City Lord's Mansion, and this person Ye Hong also had a relationship, and it was the eldest prince of the Tianfeng Empire. Yehong was shocked when he saw this person, and then he thought of something.
"Why are you here, Great Prince! Hurry up and please! ”
"Uncle Huang, how can I not come to my cousin's coming-of-age ceremony! My father specifically instructed me. These are some gifts that my father asked me to bring, and I asked my uncle to accept them. ”
The Wind City Lord just sighed and didn't say anything, and then welcomed the Great Prince into the hall. Some people seem to have seen the eldest prince, so as soon as the eldest prince entered the hall, they all gathered around, greeted him with all kinds of greetings, and saluted respectfully.
At the beginning of the dinner, the Lord of Windy City held a coming-of-age ceremony for Feng Xian according to the process, and Feng Xian walked up to the stage and thanked everyone for coming. However, after some thanks, it didn't seem to be over, and the Wind City Lord announced another thing.
"Feng Xian is also an adult, and he has performed very well in all aspects, I believe everyone can also see it, so I announce that the heir to the position of my city lord in the future is Feng Xian!"
The announcement of the Wind City Lord suddenly stirred up a lot of movement, and the guests below were all talking about it, and Feng Xian was also surprised, and he didn't expect his father to announce him as the heir. The Wind City Lord was about to continue to speak and calm down the discussion, but at this time, Feng Xuanyu hurriedly said,
"Father! Why? I'm the heir! How did it become a wind idle! Is there anything I'm not doing well? ”
"You still have the face to say! You know what you're up there without! In the first few years, you worked hard and were indeed suitable to be my heir, but then you became what you became, and after you had power, you lost yourself and became what you became! ”
"You're all sophistry! Excuse! You're just pampering! Old immortal, you will regret it! Feng Xuanyu roared madly and said.
"Someone! Shut up this rebel! The Wind City Lord said angrily.
"I let everyone see the joke just now, it's me who teaches my son no way, so don't take it to heart. As for my declaration of Feng Xian as my heir, it is the same as it was at the beginning, it is not permanent.
If he does something like his younger brother Feng Xuanyu in the future, does not treat the people well, and is consumed by interests, I will also remove him from the status of heir, and this matter will also be supervised by everyone. ”
"The Lord of Wind City is really kind-hearted, and it is a blessing for me in Xihai City! We believe that Ergongzi will live up to your expectations. ”
All the guests praised the noble character of the Wind City Lord and praised the ability of Feng Xian. Feng Xian also spoke to thank everyone for their love, and promised to do a good job of his identity and not disappoint his father.
Yehong looked at the audience and nodded appreciatively, Feng Xian was not in front of the nightingale, this momentum was still very good, and he had the atmosphere and demeanor as the heir of the city lord.
The eldest prince didn't seem to be very interested in the Wind City Lord's announcement of these things, and he had been sitting on the sidelines drinking tea, indifferent, as if he had only come here to complete the task assigned by his father. There was even some disgust, but it didn't show it too much.
There was a middle-aged man next to the eldest prince who had always wanted to get close to him, all kinds of flattery and sycophancy, but the eldest prince obviously didn't want to pay attention to it, but he didn't expel him for the sake of face.
