Chapter 151: The Man Behind the Assassination
Seeing that it was the maid who was holding the dagger alof, Xiao Zhe didn't have time to think about it, the maid had already had a fierce look in her eyes and stabbed at the young sect master.
"Boom!"
Xiao Zhe picked up the maid's dagger and knocked it back with a punch.
While the maid was repulsed, she did not hesitate at all, caught the dagger, and stared at the young sect master with her eyes.
This kind of eyes full of murderous intent and without any emotion are clearly only possessed by killers.
The maid jumped up and rushed over with a dagger, Xiao Zhe's body sank slightly, and he took a step forward, and the maid suddenly fell to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Zhe turned his head to look at the young sect leader behind him.
"Give me the knife."
Without waiting for Xiao Zhe to react, the young sect leader directly snatched the dagger in his hand and walked to the maid who was bleeding from her waist and was sitting on the ground.
He lifted the maid's chin, and with a blank expression, he slashed at the maid's neck.
Xiao Zhe was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I could have saved her." ”
"I know."
"Then why did you kill her?"
Xiao Zhe frowned and said, "Shouldn't we find out why she assassinated you?" At least ask if she's like this, or if someone is behind her......"
Li Yiqing interrupted coldly: "I know." ”
"Then why didn't you spare her life and ask clearly?"
"I know it all, so don't say any more, and I'm fine."
Xiao Zhe looked at the thin young man in front of him, he was obviously still a child who had not grown up, why could he be so indifferent in the face of assassination, and his face was full of loneliness and sadness.
"I'm tired and need to rest, you can go out."
"Young Sect Master, her dagger may be poisonous" Xiao Zhe took his hand, ignored the Young Sect Master's resistance, lowered his body and said, "You once said that I was your personal guard. ”
"We're all in the same boat, and if something really happens to you today, I'll have to die."
Xiao Zhe pulled the sleeve of the young sect master's white and red coat, and the wound was not shallow, but he was still relieved, "Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be poisonous, come on, I'll carry you." ”
"Fuck off, you lunatic."
"It's rude." Xiao Zhe didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and ran out directly with the young sect master, "I'll take you to the doctor." ”
Li Yiqing said angrily: "You guy, do you want to die?" ”
"If you save it or not, your subordinates will not be able to escape death, it is better to save you and die."
"Until then, I'll kill you first!" Li Yiqing took out a dagger and stabbed it directly at Xiao Zhe's neck.
Xiao Zhe hurriedly threw Li Yiqing away, but he didn't expect the young sect leader to really plan to kill him, he shouted, "Are you crazy? ”
Li Yiqing shook his feet and stood up, "Don't be nosy, it's not your business at all." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Li Yiqing stared at him and sneered: "Do you really think I don't know?" You've been pretending to be in front of me, and you're actually like the maid, and when the order comes, you'll put the knife around my neck. ”
"Isn't this the real purpose of your coming to Yangming Palace? I still want to be my family, don't be disgusting. ”
Xiao Zhe was in a cold sweat, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the young sect leader, "No, ......"
Li Yiqing sneered and sneered: "Why, do you want me to tell who is behind the scenes?" ”
"That person has a habit when he speaks, saying that there is nothing to do, this is all for the sake of Mingjiao, this is a helpless decision."
Li Yiqing's eyes became more and more crazy, and he laughed: "Obviously a complacent and hypocritical guy for his own selfish desires, aren't you the killer sent by the military advisor Jiang Xuanqing?" ”
Xiao Zhe fell into the ice cellar, just because the young sect leader was right.
......
Jiang Xuanqing stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the clouds and mist in front of him, and said indifferently: "How is it?" ”
"I heard that the killer sent by the left envoy disguised himself as a maid to assassinate the young sect master, but failed."
Jiang Xuanqing sighed: "I have long asked him not to do that kind of meaningless thing." ”
"So what are we going to do about it?"
"Let's just say that the maid is just an ordinary disciple who has not practiced martial arts, because she can't bear the atrocities of the young sect master, she decided to murder the young sect master in anger, understand?"
"Yes."
Jiang Xuanqing covered his face and muttered to himself: "Zuo Envoy, you have done this too hastily, didn't I say that you have to use other methods?" Why don't you just understand? ”
She let go, revealing a completely different appearance from before, and said with cold eyes: "Since you want to do it, you should get rid of him completely." ”
Jiang Xuanqing, the military advisor, once entrusted the Hidden Killing Palace to find a strong person to go to Yangming Palace as a guard.
Preferably "the one who is outside the tree".
The person outside the tree is the "outsider", that is, the killer cannot be from Mu Feng, where the Hidden Killing Palace is located, but from the killer in the Central Plains.
......
Xiao Zheqiang pretended to be calm and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand what you're saying at all. ”
"Don't pretend now."
Li Yiqing took out the dagger given by Xiao Zhe, "When you came to Yangming Palace on the first day, you gave me this dagger, and the handle of the knife was engraved with a solar eclipse, what do you think this sign means?" ”
"That must be the swordsmith's mark."
Xiao Zhe swallowed his saliva, it was the dagger that the military advisor gave him.
The Young Sect Master sneered, "Stupid fellow, the solar eclipse on the hilt of the knife represents the moon that devours the sun. ”
"The sun and the moon are bright, and the only places where Mingjiao can use Ming characters are Guangming Palace and Yangming Palace, and in these two places, only one person will warn me like this."
Li Yiqing's face showed a hideous look that was completely inconsistent with his age, "Jiang Xuanqing asked you to give me this dagger, and she expected me to accept it." ”
Xiao Zhe's eyes widened, the military advisor had indeed told him that as long as he handed over this dagger to the young sect master, he could become the guard of Yangming Palace.
But how did the young sect leader know?
"Don't try to get into this, you're just one of many pawns in my game with her."
The young sect master's eyes were cold, exuding a murderous aura: "The war started a long time ago, you just need to do your duty." ”
"The maid who assassinated you tonight doesn't have any martial arts, but has only learned a little swordsmanship."
Xiao Zhe followed behind him and said, "If they really want to kill you, they will definitely send someone with stronger martial arts." ”
"Do you think they can arrange for stronger people to enter Yangming Palace?"
Li Yiqing walked in front and laughed at himself: "Only when that kind of guy who doesn't have any martial arts comes to assassinate me, everyone will think that she did it out of resentment against me." ”
"Because I'm the rogue young sect leader that everyone hates, no one will doubt it, haha!"
Xiao Zhe was stunned and said: "Since this is the case, then you shouldn't kill her, wouldn't it be better for her to live to ask the people behind this matter?" ”
"It's useless, no matter what I do, nothing will change, but this time it's a bit dangerous."
Xiao Zhe stopped, "I still can't understand why they are doing this. ”
No matter how crazy the Young Sect Master is, they are all their Young Sect Leaders, they are all Ming Sect people, how could they want to assassinate their own Young Sect Leader?
"I guess they want to isolate me completely." Li Yiqing sneered.
"Even if you can't kill me, you can make me an incompetent young sect leader in the eyes of everyone, even my own family members are so resentful."
Li Yiqing smiled with a crazy smile in his eyes: "But how can I be at the mercy of them, I will definitely not let them get their wish!" ”
He suddenly turned his head and said, "Obviously a killer, but with a stunned expression, you are really a fool." ”
"It's a person who will be shocked when they hear what you say."
"I'm going to Jinfeng, prepare the car."
Xiao Zhe frowned, he knew that this would be the case, and he should have refused this task.
Now that it's exposed, why don't you just take advantage of it and leave?
He raised his head, looked at the young sect leader whose arm was still bleeding, gritted his teeth and comforted himself, the other party still didn't know that this matter was related to the Hidden Killing Palace.
Let him go first.
Jinfeng Mountain is steep, strange rocks and strange rocks, and there are many bottomless caves, because of the steep mountain road, and countless people have died here.
But even so, many believers wanted to climb the Golden Peak.
First, the House of Elders is located here.
For ordinary cultists who are unable to enter the Secret Palace, gaining the approval of the Presbyterian Church is the only way for them to succeed, and there are countless cultists who have volunteered to work here, regardless of pay.
Second, Jin Feng can get a thousand gold.
The temperature difference between Jinfeng is huge, and there are many unmined veins hidden in it, making it an opportunity to find mined treasures.
In the end, it was because the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace, which healed the believers, was located on the top of the most dangerous mountain.
