Chapter 90: The Assassins
Night! Quietly descending, the crescent moon with a ring of gold slowly rose, the white bright moon, the faint silver light, as if the earth was covered by a black curtain, was instantly covered with a layer of beautiful silver veil. Earth! It was unusually brightly illuminated, like a blue sky and a white sun.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the full moon hangs high in the sky, the night has gone deep, and the surrounding silence is silent, only the cicadas chirp, slowly sounding. There are also eunuchs who tell the time, wandering around the main palace.
And in the unusually heavily guarded palace, the patrol soldiers change their posts every ten minutes. That's why! A man in black, on the roof of the palace and the streets of the palace, light as a swallow! without alarming any patrolmen.
This person's target is Luo Shi, who lives in the harem courtyard, and Dongfang Yu.
Of course! You can enter the palace, inside and outside the palace, and you can shuttle and walk around with ease! It is enough to prove that this person must not be a foreigner who has lived outside the palace for a long time, but must be a person in the palace.
"Whew!"
"This is it!" The man in black had two swords straddling his waist, one long sword and one short sword, and the man in black under the mask showed sharp eyes and was extremely sharp.
Looking at the humble courtyard in front of him, the man in black was slightly moved and hesitated! Unexpected! In the gorgeous palace, there is such a dilapidated and simple annex!
"King Qin! Don't blame the sharp sword in the sleeve of a certain family, only blame you for offending the queen and the prince! I can only take your head back to the queen. The man in black muttered to himself.
Immediately! Like a nimble monkey, he climbed directly from the high wall of the courtyard.
This guy's light skills are really good!
That's right! This person is a good hand played by the queen, because of the prince! How could the Cai family let go of Dongfang Yu's mother and son so easily. And this man in black is the Cai family, the assassin who sent to assassinate Dongfang Yu's mother and son.
Moreover! This Assassin is not unknown! In the rivers and lakes, he has a prominent reputation, but he is a very powerful swordsman.
The swordsman is ranked fifth, Zhaoping!
This person is above the way of the sword, not as good as the second-ranked swordsman: Ji Jian; is not as good as the first-ranked swordsman: Ziyuan, but when it comes to assassination, assassination at night, Zhaoping's sword path can be ranked first.
Afterward! After accepting the last buyer and assassinating Dengzhou Yu Bohou, he disappeared from the sky, and the government issued a heavy reward and wanted him, and he also turned over the entire Dengzhou City. I just can't find this person, and this person has disappeared like the world since then.
I never thought that it was actually a queen who took refuge and became a royal person.
But too! Killing an uncle, but it is a great sin, if you are caught, you can't cut it with a thousand knives, the most effective way is to hug your thighs.
Dongfang Yu's room is on the outermost side of the room, and the window connects to the outside world, and an assassin like Zhaoping can directly assassinate through the window.
But what Zhaoping didn't expect was that Dongfang Yu's room was extremely bright and brightly lit at this time.
It's late at night, hasn't King Qin slept yet?
Zhaoping groped! Along the wall of the house, you came to the window of Dongfang Yu's house. The annex belongs to the inner palace, and there is news provided by the queen, don't you know how many rooms there are in the Luo Courtyard?
Faintly, the figure of King Qin under the lamplight is reflected on the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window.
Zhaoping was very cautious, and hurriedly lowered his head, scolding in his heart, "Damn! King Qin has not slept, how can I assassinate! If you do it now! Will it definitely alarm the forbidden army in the palace? β
If it is revealed! was caught by the forbidden army, and with the mistakes he made before, even if it was a hundred mouths, it was difficult to justify! Zhaoping is not stupid, although he took refuge in the queen, he is extremely loyal on weekdays! But this is not enough, he wants to risk his life to help an old witch who has brought disaster to the country and the people.
After all! After staying by the queen's side for a long time, he naturally knows Cai's personality! In the past few years, Cai's command him, I don't know how many hurtful things to do! How many great martial loyal ministers died under his sword. But he understands that these loyal ministers who died are all ministers who obstruct and oppose the prince.
There are a number of ministers, many of whom are clean officials who benefit one side. Even! Sometimes even he regrets it, why did he kill these Qing officials who serve the people and love the people.
"Alas!"
Dongfang Yu in the room sighed from time to time.
muttered to himself: "Beiliang belongs to the border, and the Huns are the first to bear the brunt!" This damn Huerkang actually wants to bribe the king with the prince, which is really ridiculous. β
In Dongfang Yu's hand, what he was holding was a letter from Beiliang. The letter was written by Tian Ping, and it has been almost half a month since he came to the capital, Tian Ping and Pei Hao naturally presided over the overall situation of Beiliang.
I just didn't expect it! Huerkang was defeated at the Wuhuan realm, but he could still love talent so much, a letter, and surrender to him! Amusing! If it's someone else, that's it! But for him, where to be the king is not the king, but why should the Huns be the king.
Immediately! It is to slowly burn the stack of thick letters in his hand in front of the oil lamp.
"Northern Liang, Huns...... This King Qin can be regarded as a good monarch! Zhaoping sighed and couldn't do it for a long time.
Dongfang Yu in the house seemed to have noticed something? Between the corners of his mouth, a thick smile was drawn, and he said impressively: "Friends outside the house, there are many mosquitoes in spring, if you are bitten, it is not comfortable!" Why don't you come into my cottage and drink and drink tea and have a heart-to-heart conversation? β
As far as the queen's little bit of caution is concerned, he still doesn't understand! Wounded the prince and lost face, now! It is known to everyone in the world that if she loses the face of the prince, she will take revenge on the queen, how can she spend the night if she wants to take revenge.
Zhaoping outside the window was stunned, I don't know why! It's hard to do it! King Qin discovered him so easily?
Immediately! Zhaoping took a few steps back.
"Huh!"
"Friends outside the house, if you really leave like this, it's not good to explain to the master!"
Dongfang Yu's voice sounded again.
Zhaoping is another meal! Full of horror.
Damn it!
Who is this King of Qin?
Such a slight movement can also be perceived.
Suddenly! Zhao Ping got up and picked the window with his long sword, and Dongfang Yu's face was just reflected in Zhao Ping's eyes. The momentum alone makes people feel that it is not simple.
"King Qin! You know I'm going to assassinate you! Zhaoping asked.
"I don't know!"
"But ......"
"This king knows that the queen will definitely send someone to assassinate me." Dongfang Yu said lightly, the assassin was in front, and he could still be so calm, talking and laughing, "But! This king can only tell you that even if this king sleeps tonight, you can't kill this king, not to mention! This king is now! So sober to sit in front of you! β
It's not that he's crazy, it's his force, it's his arrogant capital.
"You ......"
Zhao Ping was speechless, there can still be such a person in the world who spits out wild words.
"King Qin! What a big breath! A certain family roamed the rivers and lakes, with the long and short swords in his hand, and killed countless people, how could he ever miss it? If King Qin lives so deep in the palace and has no skills, why can't he kill him? β
