Volume 1 Human World Chapter 225 The Assassin and the Golden Guard
"On the square outside the Imperial City?"
For that square, Zhang Haomin was quite impressed, and walked along the central avenue after leaving the palace, and then out of the imperial city gate, he arrived.
This square is not particularly large, only half of the school's martial arts field.
And Zhang Haomin was most impressed by it than the huge bell on the south side of the square.
This bell had been rung at the beginning of the sect's big competition, and the sound was extremely loud, and the bell could be heard from a long distance.
It is said that this bell was built in the center of Jian'an Castle, so once it is struck, it will echo in all parts of Jian'an Castle with the surrounding high city walls.
It is precisely because of this that before attending the dinner party and entering the imperial city, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but look at it twice.
"Yes. ”
This is the first time the attendant has seen Zhang Haomin look so flustered, obviously something is wrong.
He was originally a small attendant in this palace, where had he encountered such a thing that even the nobles were shocked, and his heart couldn't help but become nervous, and even his speech became stammering.
"And how long does it take to get from here to the square?"
"About, about half an hour. ”
"Half an hour? After half an hour, the sky should be light. ”
Zhang Haomin's brows frowned, his top priority now was to hurry up and find Xiaoyao, if he was discovered by the ghost-faced man, it would be really terrible.
"Quick, take me there. ”
Because Zhang Haomin was very anxious, the attendant couldn't help but say, and hurriedly trotted all the way to lead Zhang Haomin forward.
The road of the palace was winding around, turning around, so anxious that Zhang Haomin was sweating profusely, and he couldn't wait to immediately put on his wings and fly directly over.
"You two wait. ”
Suddenly, there was a shout, and the two of them were stopped at once.
However, when the two of them looked back, there was no one behind them, and they listened carefully to the direction of the voice, but it was on the fork in the road in front of them.
So the two quietly stepped forward and leaned on the corner of the wall to look at the fork in the road.
After all, there were assassins in the palace at this time, and even Hu Guangcheng, the commander of the Golden Armor Guard, was unfortunately killed, and if they ran into that group of vicious people, I am afraid that there would be no good end.
Therefore, when they walk in this palace, they naturally have to be extra cautious.
Sure enough, they looked at it in the corner, and they were scared into a cold sweat, if it wasn't for this voice to shout in time, the two of them would probably collide with each other.
Although there are only two people on the other side, it is not easy for the two of them to deal with at this time.
The attendant has not cultivated, he is just an ordinary person, but anyone who has cultivated a little can beat him without the power to fight back, and he is completely a scum with zero combat effectiveness.
As for Zhang Haomin, at this time, he didn't know why, the vitality in his body became extremely turbid, and he didn't listen to any of his movements at all.
He can only control a little bit of vitality from it, and at most he can use a pendant.
Of course, except for his own Yuan Qi, the others were not affected, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi could still be controlled, and the Yuan Qi Hood could still be used.
In other words, at this time, the vitality shield that was only the size of a palm was his only means of preserving his life.
According to the current situation of the two of them, how could they be the opponents of those assassins? What's more, these assassins can even be killed quietly by the commander of the Golden Guard, and they are even less than enough to see.
So after seeing the night-walking man, the two of them were so frightened that they couldn't help but swallow silently.
"What's the matter?"
"The order has just been given from above, once you see the guy in the Mengtian Pavilion, you don't need to be captured alive, you can directly kill it on the spot. ”
"Okay, we got it. ”
After Zhang Haomin heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, daring to love this group of assassins was not coming for the Heavenly Emperor, but for himself.
For a while, the cold hair on his back stood up on the spot, this was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
And at this time, the attendants on the side couldn't help but glance at Zhang Haomin suspiciously, this group of people wanted to kill the guy in the Mengtian Pavilion, wouldn't that be the one next to him.
Seeing that this guy was about to exclaim, Zhang Haomin hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Who? Who's there?"
You know, in the dead of night, people's ears are extraordinarily good, even some small sounds can be heard clearly.
The moment Zhang Haomin covered the attendant's mouth, the clothes on his body couldn't help but make a noise, and they discovered it.
The other party is a group of murderers who do not blink an eye, they are not opponents at all, and the top priority at this time is to flee this place as soon as possible, otherwise I really don't know what the outcome will be.
So the two tiptoed around and prepared to run, ready to avoid the limelight first.
But just before they had turned around and taken two steps, the other party had already stepped out of the fork in the road and immediately shouted.
"Stand, what are you doing?"
Zhang Haomin's face was dead for a while, it seems that he is really finished with a calf now.
And the attendant was very surprised when he heard the other party's shouting, which assassin who had infiltrated the palace would still interrogate someone when he met someone? It seems that there is something strange in this.
"The one who is on an errand in the courtesy room. ”
"What are you doing here?"
"After receiving the master's life, he who is a slave does not dare to disobey. ”
"You two turn around. ”
As soon as he heard this, the attendant immediately burst into tears, and his legs trembled with fright.
"Two masters, you are doing well, we are only cheap slaves, but we don't see anything, you can spare us." ”
The two golden-armored guards in night clothes couldn't help but look at each other, and then laughed, the squire's answer was really funny.
But this can't be blamed on this attendant, who told the two of them to be wearing night clothes at this time, and the attendants in this palace are not afraid when they see them dressed like this, so it's strange.
"Who cares about your cheap life?"
After saying that, the two of them were about to leave, but as soon as they took a step, they suddenly remembered something important.
These two attendants already thought of them as Assassins who had infiltrated the palace, so as soon as they left, they would shout for someone to catch the Assassin on their back feet?
So they had to turn back again and speak to the squire.
"You little bunny turns your head to look. ”
"No, don't look, you're going to kill me. ”
"Phew, Lao Tzu is not good at speaking, right, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you now. ”
"Don't, I see, I see. ”
The attendant's face turned pale with fright, and he turned cautiously, his eyes narrowed into a narrow slit, and he looked behind him in fear.
However, to his surprise, the other party actually lit up a waist card.
This waist card is golden, similar to the one that Zhang Haomin took off from Hu Guangcheng's corpse before, but the lines in it are different.
In particular, in the center of Hu Guangcheng's waist card, the word "leader" is engraved.
And the waist card they showed out, in the most central position, is engraved with a big "gold" word, obviously symbolizing their identity as a golden armor guard.
"Kim?"
After seeing this word, the attendant was obviously stunned, he didn't expect that this so-called assassin turned out to be Jin Jiawei.
"Hey, you kid turned his head to look at it too. ”
Zhang Haomin couldn't help but be very nervous, but now, he had no other way but to turn his head honestly.
But fortunately, the other party didn't know him at all, even if they saw Zhang Haomin's appearance, they didn't know that this was their goal tonight, the person they needed to kill.
"This is a special task from above, and neither of you can reveal half a word to the outside world, do you understand?"
The attendant hurriedly replied.
"I understand, I understand. ”
Zhang Haomin also nodded honestly on the side, indicating that he understood what the other party said.
Seeing that both of them were honest, the golden armor guard put away his waist card and snorted coldly, and left with his companions.
When they were all far away, Zhang Haomin breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately his clothes were dirty, and he asked the attendant to borrow another one, otherwise it would be exposed.
"Are they really the Golden Guards?"
Hearing the attendant's question, Zhang Haomin's eyes rolled and he couldn't help but shake his head.
In this situation, if the other party is really Jin Jiawei, then this is Jin Jiawei besieging him, as a palace attendant, what kind of thing will this guy do?
Therefore, Zhang Haomin had to find a way to bluff this guy and make him think that these people were assassins.
"How is this possible? They must all be Assassin fakes. ”
"Fake? But the waist card they just showed is indeed the waist card of the Golden Guard. ”
"Even if that waist card is really the waist card of the Golden Guard, what does that prove?"
As he spoke, Zhang Haomin took out the waist card that he had taken off from Hu Guangcheng from the pendant and said to the attendant.
"Well, could it be that I am now the commander of the Golden Guards? They even killed the commander of the Golden Guards, presumably they killed a few more of the Golden Guards, using their waist cards to impersonate. ”
"Then shall we inform the Golden Guards that there are assassins in this palace?"
"Notice? Do you know which one of the palace is the Golden Guards and which one is the Assassin's impostor?"
"This. ”
When Zhang Haomin said this, the attendant couldn't help but look at Zhang Haomin with a panicked face and said in shock.
"You mean it's possible that this group of assassins has already put on the clothes of the Golden Guards?"
"Since they dare to appear in the palace so unscrupulously, it is very likely that they have completely controlled the entire palace, and it is probably not a problem to pretend to be a golden guard. ”
The attendant couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if it was really as Zhang Haomin said, I am afraid that this palace would not be safe anywhere.
As an important guard force of the palace, once it is infiltrated by thieves, the consequences will be quite serious, so he hurriedly said.
"Then let's hurry up. ”
This attendant has obviously been completely fooled by Zhang Haomin, he has already identified the identity of this group of assassins in his heart, then he will not betray Zhang Haomin again, and will even take the initiative to cover for Zhang Haomin.
And Zhang Haomin's heart was extremely heavy at this time, since he already knew that Jin Jiawei's goal was himself, it meant that behind it would be the meaning of the Heavenly Emperor.
But the Heavenly Emperor has always been extremely jealous of the Emperor, and now he is so unscrupulous, isn't it equivalent to that the Emperor is no longer a threat to the Emperor of the Heavenly Emperor?
As soon as he thought of this, his heart felt anxious, and he fell freely on the square outside the imperial city, and his life and death were unknown.
If he was seriously injured and was caught by the Heavenly Emperor's people, what the consequences would be, Zhang Haomin didn't have to think about it.
So he kept praying in his heart for the joy and cursed the emperor that day.
"You must not die, we have to go to the fairy world together, damn Emperor Tianzhu, this revenge will not be avenged, I will make you pay for it." ”
While Zhang Haomin cursed the Heavenly Emperor in his heart, the attendant couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
These Assassins are so tricky now that even the Golden Guards dare to impersonate them, so wouldn't they be extremely dangerous?
After all, the target of these guys is Zhang Haomin on the side.
You must know that Zhang Haomin is a noble person in his life, if he is killed by such a vicious guy, then he will not have a bright future in his life.
As soon as he thought of this, the squire's heart was very annoyed, these bastards dared to stop his luck, it was really damned.
The two of them followed the inaccessible path all the way, and soon came to the palace gate.
Along the way, the attendants became more and more sure of Zhang Haomin's words, because there were obviously many fewer golden guards everywhere on weekdays, and they had obviously been "killed".
Looking at the majestic golden guards at the gate of this palace, he couldn't help but ask Zhang Haomin with some doubts.
"Lord Wang, do you think these golden armor guards are real, or are they fake by the assassins?"
Regarding the attendant's doubts, Zhang Haomin's answer must be fake, otherwise wouldn't he have exposed him.
However, before he could speak, a golden guard wearing a night suit suddenly appeared, and after explaining a few words to the golden guard at the gate of the palace, he left in a hurry.
After seeing this scene, there was no need for Zhang Haomin to say anything, the attendant already knew the answer.
"It's too bad that they even took down the palace gate. ”
"Isn't there a side door to go through this palace?"
"Yes, yes, but it's not much better than here. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Haomin's heart couldn't help but sink, looking at the closed door, he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Then this can't get out?"
"Hey, the minions have a good idea to try. ”
"What's the solution?"
The attendant did not immediately answer Zhang Haomin's doubts, but reached out and took off the crown on Zhang Haomin's head.
For a while, Zhang Haomin's hair immediately fell down, making him ask suspiciously.
"What are you doing here?"
"Huh, lord, why is your hair so short?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Haomin looked at the attendant with an unkind face, and secretly said in his heart, this is still the result of staying for half a year.
"Not really, it would be better that way. ”
After seeing Zhang Haomin's short hair, the attendant couldn't help but be very happy, and hurriedly messed up Zhang Haomin's hair a little more.
"You can pretend to be depressed later, it will go more smoothly. ”
"Depressed?"
"The minions have a plan, and they might be able to fool them. ”
Zhang Haomin couldn't help but be skeptical, but he had no other way but to rely on this attendant to take a risk.
So, the attendant carefully helped Zhang Haomin, came out of the path, and walked towards the palace gate.
At this time, there was no one at the palace gate, and as soon as the two of them appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the attendants guarding the palace gate, and then shouted loudly.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"This master, the younger one is from Ning'an Palace, and he was arranged by Gonggong Gui to go out of the palace to do something. ”
In fact, there is no such number one person as Gonggong Gui in Ning'an Palace, only a little eunuch named Gui Kang in the worship room, that is, the attendant who supports Zhang Haomin.
Anyway, the other party is not a real golden armor guard, and he just happened to take out his name and enjoy it.
After hearing his words, the foreman of the Golden Armor Guard on the opposite side couldn't help frowning, he really hadn't heard of the name of Gonggong Gui, but he knew that it was the queen's dormitory in Ning'an Palace.
However, as it happens, this guy was just an ordinary gold-armored guard like everyone else standing at the palace gate.
But because the manpower was transferred tonight, the original foreman was transferred, and he had the honor to substitute for a day and temporarily became the foreman at the gate of this palace.
So it's normal for newcomers not to know a few people.
And the most important thing is that he used to just stand guard, but he has seen it many times, when the sky is about to dawn, the people of Ning'an Palace help a guy to walk outside the palace.
So, after hesitating for a moment, he hurriedly pretended to have a sudden realization and said.
"Oh, it turned out that Grandpa Gui asked you to come. ”
Seeing that this guy hurriedly put on an appearance of acquaintance, this attendant couldn't help but be very disdainful in his heart, and secretly scolded, it is your grandfather and me.
But this is also enjoyable in his heart, and he doesn't dare to show it.
"It was Gonggong Gui who sent the little one here. ”
"Open the door and let this little brother pass. ”
With the order of the substitute Jinjia guard, several generals in front of the door opened a gap two people wide.
The attendant didn't expect that it would pass so easily, and he couldn't help but feel a great pity in his heart, and he thought of a lot of excuses, but they didn't come in handy.
At this moment, the generation class really asked.
"What's the matter with this man?"
As soon as he heard this, the attendant hurriedly became interested, and the manuscript that had been compiled long ago finally came in handy.
I saw that he handed the groggy Zhang Haomin to a Jin Jiawei, and at the signal of the substitute, the Jin Jiawei had no choice but to take Zhang Haomin extremely reluctantly.
The attendant pulled the golden armor guard of the generation to the side, and he didn't know what they were saying, but the man kept looking at Zhang Haomin, as if he was very surprised.
Not long after, under the amazement of the golden guard, the attendant took Zhang Haomin out of the palace with satisfaction.
