Chapter 353: Jianghu II (7)
At first, people didn't know what was going on, but as the two figures flew up, attacking and defending each other, all the way to the drum tower, the people and guards on the Vermilion Bird Street in Chang'an, as well as the secret guards of the ground branch who were secretly ambushing, also saw the scene over there.
Ordinary people can only see two people fighting, but these underground branch guards and the leaders of the local branch can really see it.
One of them is Tianyi.
The man on the other side was tall and thin, but his moves were extremely sharp.
"Someone attacked Tianyi?"
Jiang Youan and the others were shocked, and he quickly ruled out the possibility of Tianyi directing and acting in this play in his heart, because Tianyi had never told him about it before.
And the person who is entangled with Tianyi is the seventh earth.
Of all these people, the only ones who can recognize the seven of the earth are the heads of the earth branches, and the others may have only heard of this name, but have never seen it.
It's just that everyone, including Jiang Youan, doesn't know that Di Qi is so staked.
Tianyi is already one of the best masters in the world, and the region can actually score autumn colors with Tianyi.
"Earth Seven has appeared, this person is what we must catch! He not only knows the affairs of Tianyi Palace, but also knows the affairs of the Imperial City Division, if he can catch Diqi, it will be of great benefit to us. ”
"But I still have to protect the prince."
"In that case, you stay here, Dog Chief, and be sure to protect the prince's safety, and we will go over to help." Ma Shou said.
Then he and Ji Shou hurried to the side where the two were fighting, but something suddenly happened in the distance, and the prince's side also began to be on guard.
No one knows if there are other people in ambush around.
Jiang Youan was mixed in with those secret guards at the moment, and now he was a subordinate of the dog leader, and this identity was also arranged by Lao Huang for him.
Among the twelve beast heads, the dog head, the fox head and the ox head are relatively close, although each other's subordinates are still in charge of each other but do not know each other's identities, Lao Huang is good at spying on intelligence.
If the other party cooperates, then after today, he can become the new dog leader, but if he does not cooperate, not only will his deeds of killing good and meritorious deeds be exposed, but even his family will be wiped out.
Lao Huang doesn't care about the ground branch, the worse the ground branch, the better it is for him, anyway, it's not his own thing, and there is no psychological burden on destroying it.
At this moment, Jiang Youan suddenly shouted.
"There are assassins!"
Then he flew out and pounced on the prince.
And all the guards around the prince immediately became nervous, because they didn't find any assassins at all, and the most suspicious ones now were the people from this local branch.
But Jiang Youan naturally couldn't be unprepared, and then shouted: "The first column from west to east, the second person is an assassin, he is wearing a human skin mask, quickly hold him!" ”
Jiang Youan shouted as he ran into the guard's ranks, and the guard was confused.
"I'm not, I'm not an assassin!"
He argued loudly, but at this time, the Dark Guard spoke, and they still believed the Dark Guard more in comparison
Because these guards in their palace are rotated every one or two months, on the one hand, it is to prevent these guards from getting along for a long time, twisting into a rope, and making a big move in the palace, on the other hand, they don't want them to be too slack, after all, what can happen around the prince? So they rotated and rotated, and they didn't know each other very well.
So they immediately aimed their blades at the assassin.
I kept seeing this, and the dog head who was ambushed in the shadows realized that something didn't seem to be quite right.
Because Jiang Youan pointed out his person just now, and that person was also arranged by him into the ranks of ordinary guards.
For a moment, he seemed to understand a lot of things.
No wonder he felt as if Niu Shou had changed a person before, no wonder, that day, Niu Shou suddenly said that he had found a few people from Tianyi Palace, and he also found masks on them, including this strategy, which Niu Shou told him.
But just as he was about to move, a dagger pierced his back, directly stabbing his spine, and in an instant, the toxins on it quickly began to invade all parts of his body, and his body was now stiff and unable to move.
Back to the scene, after Jiang Youan pointed out the other party, those guards killed that person in an instant.
"He has a mask on his face!"
The others hurriedly turned his face open, and found that there was indeed an unfamiliar face underneath.
At this moment, they were also convinced of what Jiang Youan, the secret guard, said.
At this moment, Jiang Youan had already come to their vicinity, and suddenly he pointed to another guard in the team and said.
"Kill him, this is also an assassin!"
Others did so, and found out that it was.
"It's dangerous here, there are already thieves disguised in the crowd, I'll take the prince to go first!"
After passing through the first two people, no one doubts Jiang Youan's identity anymore.
Including the prince began to sit still, only to see Jiang Youan suddenly turn around and fly to the prince's sedan chair.
And the prince also stood up at this moment.
At this moment, Jiang Youan suddenly broke out.
At some point, he had the knife in his hand, and he raised his hand and slashed directly at the prince's neck.
It happened so fast that they didn't react, and when they did, the prince's head was already flying high.
Then he was grabbed by Jiang Youan.
At the same time, Jiang Youan directly tore off the layer of dark guard's human skin mask on his face, revealing Zhang Tian's appearance.
"The prince is dead! The Killer Martial Arts Alliance advocates the sky! This is the end of going against my Tianyi Palace! ”
"It turned out to be Tianyi Palace!"
"What he did just now was actually to assassinate the crown prince, he is the assassin!"
"But how did the Assassins get into the Dark Guard?"
Everyone didn't have time to think about these questions, because as soon as the prince died, there was only one way for those of them who protected the prince to live, and that was to catch the murderer to atone for their crimes.
Otherwise, the emperor will blame him, and none of them will survive.
But Jiang Youan waited so long just to wait for his injuries to fully heal, and at this moment he had recovered to his peak, and he was even more diligent than before.
Naturally, it is impossible for these people to block the way.
Now eighty percent of the best guards on the field are dead.
Because he saw the Dark Guard go out at the same time.
Quickly found the secret guard that Lao Huang had bought, and when the other party approached, Jiang Youan directly killed the other party.
Immediately afterwards, he carried the prince's head and began to kill outward, and it didn't take long to fight his way out of the encirclement, and then he saw an ox cart driving in front of him and got into it directly, which he had arranged in advance.
Before they could react, they had to get out of the city as soon as possible.
It wasn't until after leaving the city that Jiang Youan came out of the haystack, and then took out a wooden box from it and put his head in it.
At last he threw the cowherd some money.
"This is the silver that was said before, whether you want to live a good life with the money or if you want to report to the official, it's up to you."
Jiang Youan didn't care what the other party would do next.
It wasn't until the cowherd carefully picked up the silver and left in a hurry like a thief that Jiang Youan smiled, ripped off the human skin mask on his face again, and then swaggered away with the box.
At this time, Lao Huang, who had become Song Yi in the city, quickly arranged for people to search for the murderer, and after he himself went to the dog head to check that the dog head was dead, he got up and told people to close all the city gates, and not a single fly should be released.
He delayed for a while so that Jiang Youan could escape in time, and so that he himself would not be suspected.
Now except for himself and Jiang Youan, all the insiders are dead.
And in the next time, he can ambush in the capital and become one of the deepest nails of the Imperial City Division.
On the other hand, the battle between Earth Seven and Tianyi will eventually determine a winner.
Both of them are exchanging injuries for injuries, and they both want to kill each other as quickly as possible, but the people of the earth branch have already rushed in, and even if they want to escape, they can't escape at all.
In the end, he could only kill himself on the spot.
Nothing was left but a corpse.
"What are you doing here? Do you know that this is a thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain? Tianyi said angrily.
The head of the horse and the head of the chicken were shocked, and when they turned their heads to look at the side of Suzaku Street, it seemed that they were already in a mess.
"At this moment, the prince is afraid that he is dead."
Tianyi said lightly.
As for the head of the horse and the head of the chicken, they didn't care about anything else when they heard this, they turned their heads and left, and when they returned here, they saw the headless corpse of the prince.
Look at the dog's head again, he is already dead of anger.
"Oops!"
……
They didn't expect things to come to this point.
So he directly and rudely pulled a surviving soldier to ask.
And at this time.
Jiang Youan has come to a county seat in Chang'an City.
I found an inn and walked in, raised my hand and refused to come up to serve, went straight to the second floor, and entered one of the rooms.
"Sir, you're finally here."
Yuruo, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.
In the whole incident, Yu Ruo survived, she was picked up by someone from the Imperial City Division, Jiang Youan knew Yu Ruo's identity from the beginning, but he didn't specify it, but later he also found out that Yu Ruo was indeed more partial to his side.
The day Fu Qian died was also Jiang Youan's final test for Yu Ruo, if Yu Ruo passed, then he could leave with him, if he didn't pass, it would be more than Fu Qian's body that would be carried out of Fu Mansion.
In the end, Yuruo did pass the test, Lao Huang secretly took him out of the Fu Mansion and sent him out of Chang'an City, where Yuruo had been living for several days.
"How have you been here these days?"
But Yuruo didn't answer this question, but looked at Jiang You'an with red eyes: "Master, I'm sorry for you, in fact, I have always been a person from Tianyi Palace, and those people that night were introduced to the mansion by me, but I really regretted it later, Youlan told me that there is still a tunnel in the Fu Mansion that leads directly from the firewood room to your bedroom, but I didn't tell them." ”
Jiang Youan smiled.
"It's okay, I've known this for a long time, but do you know who I am now?"
"Jiang Youan."
"Then you dare to follow me?"
"Dare, what I like is the master, not your identity, Yu Ruo said before, I am willing to block the knife for the master, but I did such a thing, and now Yu Ruo owes you two lives."
Jiang Youan smiled: "Okay, then I'll record your two lives in the account first." ”
Yuruo wiped her tears: "Master, are you still willing to take me?" ”
"Why not? You owe me two lives, and if I don't take you, what will you do to pay me back? ”
"Thank you, sir, where should we go now?"
"Naturally, I will return to the Heavenly Palace, but since Fu Qian is dead, then you don't have to call me Master anymore, I will be Zhang Tian from now on."
"Then I'll call you son."
"Hmm."
In this way, the two stayed in the inn for one night, and the next day they disguised themselves and left the county seat.
……
"God, you're too reckless."
"Father, I'm just ......"
"Okay, needless to say, although your move directly offended the imperial court, the struggle between Tianyi Palace and the imperial court is inevitable, and you have no prestige in the martial arts and became the leader of the alliance in a hurry, but now you have killed the prince in full view of everyone, this is a unique reputation, even my father has never done this kind of thing back then."
"Father, if the court goes to war with us......
"Then, the imperial court has repeatedly provoked the martial arts, and it's time for us to fuck it."
"Then you go and prepare, seven days later, we will hold a martial arts conference to conspire with the world!"
……
Meanwhile.
Chang'an Imperial Palace.
The crown prince died, and the emperor was furious, but this was the prince he had cultivated for more than 20 years.
"The minister is guilty!"
"Chen Qian shouldn't have left his post without permission and went to support Tianyi."
"I hope that Your Majesty will condemn you, and the ministers will die!"
The emperor was like a faintly angry old dragon at this moment, looking at the head of the horse and the head of the chicken kneeling in front of him with burning eyes.
"Do you know that this son is my favorite?"
"Do you know that the crown prince is a wise prince that I have spent more than twenty years cultivating?"
"Now that he's dead, can you end it with a single condemnation?"
The horse's head and the chicken's head trembled on the ground, not daring to raise his head, let alone answering.
"I'll ask you one last time, who is the one who killed my emperor?"
"It's Zhang Tian, the current leader of the martial arts alliance, everyone saw his face at that time, and later, the autopsy of the rat head was also convinced that the weapon was Zhang Tian's usual knife, and the fighting style was also the fighting style of Tianyi Palace."
The Emperor nodded.
"In that case, then you two can go and die."
When the head of the horse and the head of the chicken heard this, their faces showed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers in the future are willing to follow Your Majesty to the death, saddle before and after the horse, in order to repay Your Majesty's tolerance." ”
Hearing this, the emperor drew an extremely sharp sword from the wall behind him, came to the two of them, and began to slash at the two of them, and then he finally vented the resentment in his heart, sword after sword, until the two were unrecognizable, then he threw the sword aside, and told the eunuch to come and clean up.
After all the blood stains in the imperial study were cleaned up, he waved his hand to drive the eunuch out.
Then he sat alone for a while before getting up and going to the bookshelf in the back, turning the mechanism and the bookshelf, and a secret passage appeared behind him, and when he walked through the passage, a secret room appeared inside.
There is a torture rack in the secret room, and it is Tianyi Gu An who is tied to it. (End of chapter)
