The arrow turned into an afterimage in the darkness, and Xu Qi'an's eyes couldn't catch it, but his powerful spiritual power locked onto the pale cyan arrow.

The Divine Refining Realm is the small peak of a martial artist's combat power, this is not to say, the martial artist of this realm has a super keen intuition about danger.

When he arrived at the God Refining Realm, he basically bid farewell to the fate of being ambushed, blackmailed, and sneak attacked.

Si Tianjian's magic weapon crossbow can shoot the murder weapon of the God Refining Realm.......... Xu Qi'an immediately judged the root of the opponent's weapon, because he also had such a magic weapon.

Subconsciously, he wanted to jump off the horse's back and dodge the arrows.

"No, my little mare can't die here......."

The thought flashed, and he suddenly changed his mind, and his right hand was put on his waist, and with the sound of Qing Yue's sharp blade coming out of the sheath, he slashed backhanded, and cut off the arrow accurately.

Crash..... In the subtle sound of the tiles sliding, two black-clothed men jumped up from the roof, one left and one right, and attacked Xu Qi'an.

They held a standard long knife in their hands, and the hob distorted the air, wanting to cut off Xu Qi'an and the horse together.

"Drive!"

Xu Qi'an, who sensed the crisis, clamped the horse's belly in advance, prompting his beloved little mare to gallop forward and avoid the attack of the two.

At the same time, he jumped from his horse and landed lightly on the roof of a restaurant.

"Bang!"

The knives of the two men in black slashed through the air, cutting deep scars on the ground.

Refining God Realm........ Xu Qi'an glanced down and made a judgment in his heart.

And what made him even more concerned was that the man in black hiding in the alley in front of him was probably stronger than the God Refining Realm.

Strategic retreat!

This is the inner city, there are guards patrolling, and there are five guards in the imperial city patrolling in turn, these three killers can't stay too long, and the time left for them is more limited than the time left for the national football team.

As long as I don't fight, they won't be able to take me down in a short time, so they will retreat on their own, and when the time comes, they will immediately use the Qi Prospecting Technique, and take the watchman to hunt the three and reverse the situation.

At this time, a picture appeared in Xu Qi'an's mind again, the man in black with a long figure appeared behind him strangely and smashed him into the back of the head with a punch.

Damn, when will he appear behind me....... Xu Qi'an's body was faster than his brain, and he instinctively dived and jumped off the roof.

At the same time, there was a fist behind his ears that smashed through the air, like a muffled thunderbolt.

Bang!

The fist-wrapped qi machine exploded in mid-air in a ripple-like air circle.

As soon as the blow missed, the master also seemed to be surprised, he couldn't imagine that this gong, who had just entered the realm of refining gods, was so keen.

As soon as Xu Qi'an landed, he was greeted by two knives from the God Refining Realm.

Ding Ding ..... He swung his knife to open the two slashing knives, and when he hit the ground, he quickly fled.

It is too dangerous to move on the roof, so it is safer to use obstacles such as alleys and houses skillfully.

But before he could run a few steps, the sound of breaking the air behind him quickly approached, and the picture of the attack of the man in black automatically fed back in his mind.

Xu Qi'an gritted his teeth, twisted his waist, and turned around to slash.

Bite!

The black gold long knife slashed into his fist, bursting out with dazzling sparks, Xu Qi'an's right hand cracked, his legs slid off the ground and withdrew more than ten meters, and the thick soles were detached from the body of the shoes in the cracking sound of the stabbing and pulling.

Six-grade martial artist, copper skin and iron bones.

Despite his expectations, Xu Qi'an's heart still sank.

The main messenger behind me knows my level, so the killers sent can almost eat me....... At the same time, they also know my walking route, so they lie in ambush on the path they must pass.

Who's going to kill me?

I didn't have time to think about it so much now, because the attack of the two God Refining Realm masters followed, and the three of them were obviously a small team with tacit understanding, led by the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm, assisted by the two God Refining Realms, and the offensive was extremely close.

Within fifty moves, I'll die...... Xu Qi'an flashed this terrible realization in his heart.

He paused in a hurry, ignoring the slash of the person on the left, and made a posture of wanting to die with the person on the right, but the strange thing was that the person on the right calmly died with him, while the person on the left, who could have attacked, withdrew his sword and returned to defense.

Xu Qi'an turned around and slashed at the man in black on the left, just hitting the blade he was blocking.

Burst..... The man in black on the right pierced Xu Qi'an's left shoulder.

"Cut!"

Xu Qi'an scolded secretly.

His real target is the man in black on the left, and it is just a show to die with the man in black on the right, but the other party is also in the God Refining Realm, and he sensed the crisis in advance.

Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice.

Xu Qi'an kicked the man in black on the right.

At this time, the master of the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm had already slaughtered in an instant, his fist condensed his qi, and fiercely smashed into Xu Qi'an's chest.

Boom!

The sound of something exploding in Xu Qi'an's chest, and the next moment, he seemed to be hit by a heavy truck.

"Ahem, cough, cough ....."

Xu Qi'an, who stabilized his body, coughed up blood foam, and what exploded in his chest was the gong of the magic weapon assigned by the yamen of the watchman, as well as Song Qing's heart guard.

Under the double defense, he blocked the full force of the copper-skinned iron master and saved the dog's life.

"Standard weapons, Si Tianjian's magic weapon crossbow, and dare to kill people in the streets of the inner city, you are a dead soldier raised by a big man. ”

As he spoke, he quietly glanced around.

The three men in black didn't answer Xu Qi'an's words, and they didn't have the consciousness of being villains at all, and they perseveredly pounced.

Xu Qi'an turned around and ran, burrowing into the narrow alley on the right.

The three men in black chased into the alley and saw Xu Qi'an standing at the end of the alley, the sharp long knife had already withdrawn its scabbard.

"Why didn't you run away?" asked the Copperskin and Iron Bone Realm killer.

The voice was hoarse and disguised.

"I can't run away, so I'm going to kill you here. Xu Qi'an squinted, very satisfied with the width of the alley, which only allowed one person to pass.

One knife, he only has one chance.

The master of the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm frowned, concentrating on the surroundings, but did not catch the footsteps of the watchmen and patrol soldiers.

But Xu Qi'an's self-confidence made him instinctively vigilant.

Bravado?

At this time, he saw the gong that had just entered the realm of refining gods, and slowly pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

Concentrate a little and reach the top.

All emotions go down, all the air engines are restrained, just like when a tsunami comes, the sea water will ebb first.

At this moment, the three black-clothed people were alarmed, and their intuition from the God Refining Realm told them: Danger, danger, danger, danger.......

Without hesitation, they followed Takeo's instinct and planned to exit the alley. But at this moment, a roar that pierced the eardrum and shook the spirit sounded.

The consciousness of the three of them fell into a momentary confusion and lost control of their bodies.

Immediately afterward, they heard a clear sound like a dragon's roar.

The killer of the Copperskin and Iron Bone Realm was the first to break free from the shock of the lion's roar, and even saw a thin line of sword light slashing at him.

He only had time to cross his arms, puff up his qi and muscles, and resist with his indestructible flesh.

.........

"Smack. ”

A gong of the Qi Realm scurried on the rooftop, following the traces of destruction until he found the alley.

He leaned over and looked into the alley, and saw the four people facing each other, the three men in black stood motionless in place, opposite them, Xu Qi'an, who was holding a knife, gasped for breath, sweating, and wisps of steam curled up from the back of his head.

"Here!"

Tong Gong shouted, holding a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other, jumped into the alley and stood beside Xu Qi'an.

Two gongs on the adjacent ridge then arrived and entered the alley.

"Master Xu, are you alright? ”

The patrol team of the trio greeted with concern, and they sensed it, but they didn't hear the heartbeat of the three men in black, and judged that the killers had died.

"It's a little hurt, it's out of the way. ”

Xu Qi'an gasped, before the three colleagues arrived, he had already taken the strong pill, and his strength was slowly recovering, but if he wanted to resume walking, he had to rest for another quarter of an hour.

The knife sent by the prison is a perfect match for the slash of heaven and earth.

The three gongs nodded slowly, looking at the man in black, who could force Lord Xu who had just entered the God Refining Realm so embarrassed, one of them must be in the God Refining Realm.

At this moment, there was a noisy and dull sound of footsteps, and a group of fifty sword guards rushed over.

"Lord Xu, you go back to the yamen to heal first, and these three people will be handed over to us to deal with. ”

The gong who spoke walked out of the alley, ordered the sword guards who came over, and said, "You escort Lord Xu back to the Yamen, and leave ten people to assist the official in disposing of the corpse." ”

The little leader of the Imperial Sword Guard clenched his fists and said, "Yes." ”

After Xu Qi'an left, the three gongs returned to the alley, and when they touched the corpse, the black-clothed man who was originally frozen suddenly collapsed in half, the upper body and the lower body separated, and an oblique wound appeared on the waist, leveling the incision.

All kinds of organs were mixed with blood and flowed all over the ground.

The gongs frowned, a little disgusted, a little surprised.

"I remember that Xu Ningyan's mastery was a very powerful sword technique, and he slashed Zhu Yingong with one sword. ”

"yes, it looks like it's more powerful now. This sword slashed three people, and among the three people, there must be one person in the God Refining Realm. ”

The three of them looked at the man in black at the front at the same time, and it was obvious that this was the strongest of the three.

"Hey, why doesn't he have a weapon?"

The other two men in black were armed with standard knives and crossbows, but this one was empty-handed and unskilled.

Was it picked up by Xu Ningyan?

Suspicious, they examined the body of the man in black alone, and when their fingers touched the body, there was a steely texture.

The corpse still retains the state of good fortune before death.

"Huh?"

A series of question marks appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time.

For a few seconds, they reacted, and their hearts swelled with absurd and shocking emotions.

"Copper, copper, iron......." a gong muttered.

.......

Half an hour later, the yamen of the watchman was beaten.

Excalibur Hall.

After receiving the news, Zhang Kaitai, who was on duty tonight, summoned all the silver gongs to discuss the assassination of Xu Qi'an.

Yin Gong, who had just led the team to inspect the scene, reported: "From the assassination to the killing of the enemy, the whole process does not exceed half an hour. The three assassins seemed to have known Xu Ningyan's route for a long time, and ambushed them on the road they had to pass.

After a short confrontation between the two sides, they chased Xu Ningyan into the alley, and then they were killed with a knife. ”

Zhang Kaitai nodded and looked at the other silver gong, which was the one in charge of examining the body.

The silver gong said in a deep voice: "The assassins use the most common standard long knives, and the three forbidden military camps and the five imperial city guards use this kind of knife. Even some of the guards in the palaces of princes and ministers use this. We can't find clues from the weapons.

"In addition, we have found a magic weapon crossbow from an assassin, a crossbow that is enough to pose a threat to the God Refining Realm. But this is still not a breakthrough.

"The situation of enriching the private pockets of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War is very serious, and the phenomenon of princes and ministers buying and selling military supplies in private is also frequent. I can't find it out at all.

"If you want to investigate, it will involve most of the officialdom in the capital, and there will be many resistances, I am afraid that even if Your Majesty personally orders it, most of it will be fruitless. ”

Zhang Kaitai nodded, as if he had expected it for a long time, and asked again, "What about the cultivation of the three assassins?"

"Two Refining God Realm, one Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm. ”

Slash the Refining God Realm and the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm with one sword....... There was a deathly silence in the hall.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Kaitai said, "What about Xu Ningyan?"

"After treating his injuries, he fell asleep. ”

Zhang Kaitai nodded, looked around at the silver gongs, and coughed, "You don't need to pay too much attention to some details, as silver gongs, you are all first-class talents of Dafeng, and you are not worse than anyone else." Only occasionally..... Occasionally, there will be one or two freaks, and it can't be taken as usual. ”

The silver gongs echoed with a smile.

Zhang Kaitai changed the subject, "Who do you think will send the assassins?" ”

A silver gong frowned and said: "For the time being, I don't know who Xu Ningyan has made a feud with recently, and based on what we know, it can be inferred that if it is ruled out as a personal grudge, then it is very likely to be related to the Fu Concubine case." ”

..........

The next day, at the end of the day.

Zhang Kaitai first went to visit Xu Qi'an, and when he saw that he was asleep, he didn't bother, took the file of "Xu Qi'an's Assassination" written by the officials last night, and went to Haoqi Building.

After passing the word, he entered the Haoqi Building and met Wei Yuan in the tearoom on the seventh floor.

This high-ranking eunuch has two points and one line of activity trajectory: the palace - Haoqi Building.

Thanks to the intelligence network laid out by the watchman's yamen, he can know the affairs of the world without going out.

"Duke Wei, Xu Ningyan left the palace yesterday and was assassinated on the way. Zhang Kaitai handed over the file.

Wei Yuan took the file, didn't open it immediately, and asked, "How is he?"

"I've had some injuries, but it's fine. It's just that the energy is seriously depleted, and I'm still sleeping. "Open the road.

Wei Yuan nodded, then he opened the dossier, read it quickly, raised his head and stared at Zhang Kaitai: "Two Refining God Realm, one copper skin and iron bones?"

It was as if he was looking for verification.

Even a person with great wisdom like Gong Wei is often stunned by that kid....... Zhang Kaitai said "um":

"Copper skin and iron bones. ”

Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, and suddenly chuckled, "Not bad, not bad." ”

Zhang Kaitai took the opportunity to say: "Could it be related to the Fu Concubine case?"

"Concubine Fu's case is His Majesty's family matter, and it is difficult for foreign ministers to interfere, but I will report this matter. Wei Yuan closed the file and frowned.

He didn't have much eyeliner in the palace, after all, the palace was Emperor Yuanjing's territory, and if he planted too many eyeliner, it would completely anger Emperor Yuanjing. Since the last time he was removed from the three chess pieces, Wei Yuan had temporarily given up paying attention to the Imperial Palace.

There should still be a tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, and Emperor Yuan Jing made it clear to him: don't inquire about the situation in the palace.

However, after experiencing Xu Qi'an's assassination, Wei Yuan was a little angry, and he wanted to reactivate the eyeliner in the palace and pay attention to this case in person.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the stairs, Wei Yuan looked up, and Zhang Kaitai turned his head accordingly.

A black-clothed official lowered his head, entered the tea room, and said respectfully: "Duke Wei, there is an order from the palace, at the beginning of the morning, the court will meet." ”

"Got it. Wei Yuan nodded.

"Xu is there something important...... Zhang Kaitai got up with interest: "Then the humble post will retire first." ”

Pilgrimage meetings are not held every day, and as a rule, a diligent king will hold a great pilgrimage meeting every three days. The time is fixed.

The king who neglects his government is once every five to ten days.

When I arrived at Emperor Yuanjing, I basically didn't go to the early dynasty, and one day when I was in a good mood, I felt that I would take care of government affairs, so I would send someone to convey the hundred officials one day in advance.

As it is today, if the court meeting is held temporarily, it means that something big has happened.

Wei Yuan drank the tea in the cup, summoned Nangong Qianrou, and entered the palace with this righteous son.

Arriving at the noon gate at six o'clock, the square was full of Beijing officials, who were talking to each other to discuss the reason why Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly convened a court meeting.

Most of them are speculating whether it is related to the Fu Concubine case, and the recent major events are just like this.

This case is related to the crown prince and the country, and only this kind of thing will make Emperor Yuan Jing, who has been neglecting government for a long time, suddenly convene a court meeting and convene the ministers to discuss.

"Wei Gong. ”

Yushi, the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, greeted him, looked left and right cautiously, and said in a low voice: "There is news from the palace, Your Majesty entered the Fengqi Palace last night, and then left like thunder. ”

Wei Yuan's expression paused slightly, and he slowly bowed his head: "Hmm." ”

.......

PS: Oops, I just finished the announcement, and I was slapped in the face on the same day, and there are fights in this chapter, and fights are always very difficult to write. Sorry, sorry.

Today it is still 10,000 words, first change and then change.
