Chapter 42: Co-life and Death
It's another year of spring benefits, and before I know it, a year has passed, and the time spent in the dream is indeed so much that people don't expect it.
Zhang Yuanyi stood in front of the window of the inn, looking at the scenery outside the window alone, his eyebrows and eyes were lost.
At this moment, the night is deep, the moon and stars are scarce, Datang has always had a strict curfew, and no inn is allowed to open again in the middle of the night, so the pedestrians on the street are sparse and very deserted.
Tomorrow we have to continue on our way, and the group will leave it at that.
Chen Daoxuan wanted to go back to Qingcheng Mountain with Qin Yu, and Zhu Zhiwen wanted to go to Beiyan to have a visit, but it was not a good way to go with them.
And the Chaohu Academy where he and Su Su are going is located in the northernmost boundary of Beiyan, adjacent to the north, so even if they get to Beiyan, it will take a lot of time.
Parting can't be said to be very sad, after all, the most important thing in the long road ahead is parting, and there has always been less gathering and more separation.
Along the way, he only missed his master more, especially in his dreams.
That dream affected him so deeply that no matter how many times he thought about it, he felt cold, he knew that he had gone to an extreme, but there was no way back, at least not now.
Sooner or later, he will personally go to see the Demon Cult Holy Land, and he will also investigate the cause of his master's death, and no one can escape from anyone who is secretly operating behind his back!
Zhang Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes were resolute!
In the darkness, one after another black shadows rushed by, leaving no trace, a long-planned assassination, brewing in the night, quietly kicked off, the assassination target was Zhu Zhiwen, the third prince of Xuanling!
There are a lot of forces involved in the assassination this time, except for the Lei family, there are a number of large and small Lingtian Dao families, not only that, but also the participation of the Tang royal family, the scale is shocking!
If it is an ordinary monk, let alone a Qianyuan Mirror Zheng Tuo, even five Zheng Tuo will not be able to escape death!
Many family monks surrounded the inn early, hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity.
"Family Master, why are there so many people coming this time? Didn't the Lei family say that they would only cooperate with us?"
"How do I know, maybe the news accidentally leaked out. If the Lei family dares to go back on their word, we will quickly withdraw without hesitation!"
The same doubts have arisen in all major families, and everyone doesn't understand what kind of medicine is sold in the Lei family's gourd, it's incredible!
However, one thing is clear, that is, the three princes of the Zhu family are indeed inside, as long as they kill the three princes, they can ask the empress for credit.
Although I know that the Lei family is not right-minded, but the wealth is in danger, and I can't let go of such a good thing!
If they can't seek wealth and danger, it will be difficult for them to turn over in this life.
Let's just say that the early Lei family also relied on the act of licking blood on the tip of a knife like killing people and selling goods to get their first money, but later they slowly began to change careers to do regular business.
"When are we going to do it, master?"
"The gun shoots the first bird, let's wait and see. Wait!"
He didn't expect that it would be dawn just like that.
Zhang Yuan found out early on that there were a large number of guys from unknown sources surrounding the inn, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you know that it is aimed at Zhu Zhiwen.
Originally, he thought that only the previous Lei family was among them, but he looked at the clothes of these guys and found that things were not so simple.
It can be said that there are a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of sects, so the next thing is more tricky, and a few of them may not be able to stay in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Just when he wanted to remind Zhu Zhiwen and the others who were resting, he found that several people had been sitting at a round table waiting for him for a long time.
Zhu Zhiwen beckoned: "The situation is urgent, let's quickly discuss countermeasures." ”
Lao Zheng was the first to speak at this time: "Among the people who came this time, there are a large number of famous families in the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that there are royal people among them. ”
Everyone frowned, Zhang Yuan nodded a little, and it was not far from what he imagined.
Zhu Zhiwen said, "Do you have any plans?"
After a while, Zhang Yuanyi was the first to speak: "I have a plan, we can all hide in Qingmeng, and then let Lao Zheng take us to escape from here." ”
Lao Zheng is a Qianyuan Mirror martial artist, although he will definitely not be able to fight the love war, but if he wants to escape, it is estimated that no one will be able to keep him, after all, not all families have a large number of Qianyuan Mirror monks.
It takes a long time to separate life and death just from fighting in the same realm, not to mention that a person who runs for his life and doesn't want to fight.
As for the attack of the Phaseless Realm monks, it is purely a fantasy, which of the entire Tang Dynasty Phaseless Realm monks can afford these petty fights, unless the empress personally visits and orders, no one can invite them.
The empress wouldn't make a big deal about such a trivial matter, after all, this assassination was just a game to pass the time when the empress was bored.
What is needed is the attitude of this group of guys who are desperate to fight for their prey.
"No!" Zhu Zhiwen strictly interrupted Zhang Yuanyi's words, "In this way, your dream will be exposed to the eyes of the world, and it will definitely lead to death at that time!"
The value of Qingmeng is so great, Chen Daoxuan has already talked to Zhang Yuanyi on the way.
There is also a god level above the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, and there is still a polar realm in the upper, middle and lower grades, and the spiritual weapons and storage magic weapons of the god level and the extreme realm are already rare in the world, and the fairy sword that has the functions of both the god-level spiritual weapon and the extreme storage magic weapon is unheard of!
Once this plan is used, then the world will know the existence of Qingmeng, and then the world will really shake, and some respected monks will not fight the idea of this sword, but the villain is difficult to prevent, and there may be a few good people with evil intentions, relying on their own high realm to snatch it.
Chen Daoxuan also echoed at this moment: "I don't agree with this either. ”
"Then what else can be done!"
The crowd was silent......
After a long time, Zhu Zhiwen spoke: "Actually, I have a way here, but Chen Daoxuan may not be able to return to Xuanling for the time being." ”
Everyone listened attentively, and Zhu Zhiwen said eloquently, "We are now in Lingtian Dao, which is the closest place between Datang and Beiyan, I have already secretly contacted the people of Beiyan, and they promised to send a Tianzhou ship to meet us at the border, as long as we can escape to the border, then there is still a chance to live!"
Beiyan and Xuanling have always been friendly, and there is no way to do it, Datang not only did not have any disadvantage of being blocked by the pinching in the middle of Beiyan and Xuanling, but instead grabbed it with both hands, pressing the two big countries to the ground to fight, and in desperation, Beiyan and Xuanling could only secretly make friends, in order to resist the might of Datang!
This time, Beiyan saving the prince of Xuanling will definitely enhance the relationship between the two, but the premise is that Zhu Zhiwen can reach the border between the Tang Dynasty and Beiyan alive.
Zhu Zhiwen took out two golden talismans from his fingers and said: "This is the Tenglong Wanli Talisman, this talisman can be used for thousands of miles in an instant, and the gods can't catch up, but there are only two, which of you wants?"
The implication is obvious, as long as I, Zhu Zhiwen, can't hold the border, then take these two talismans and flee for my life, and I don't need to care about Zhu Zhiwen.
Chen Daoxuan and Zhang Yuanyi were not interested, if they wanted to meet the enemy together, the two did not hesitate, but said that they would leave their companions and run for their lives alone.
Chen Daoxuan said: "Brother Zhu thinks he forgot my identity as a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain, I don't need these things." No guy would come and trouble me. ”
Qingcheng Mountain belongs to the great sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect on the mountain, and it has always had nothing to do with the struggle of the mortal family dynasty, if someone takes the initiative to find trouble with the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain, then they must also be prepared to accept the anger of Qingcheng Mountain.
Especially Chen Daoxuan, as the closed disciple of the previous generation of Taishang Elder Zhang De, except for one Xu Xiaofeng above the sect, who held down one head steadily in terms of seniority, the other disciples and even the head of the sect had to salute respectfully.
Once Chen Daoxuan has three strengths and two weaknesses, it will be a blatant provocation of the majesty of Qingcheng Mountain, and then it will not be any money, and it will be solved by apologizing.
After all, behind Qingcheng Mountain is the figure of the nine officials, and the status is prominent and supreme.
Zhu Zhiwen smiled and said: "It seems that this matter is much easier to solve than I thought, the four of you will leave immediately, Zhang Yuanyi and Miss Su Su will use these two Tenglong Wanli Talismans to go to Chaohu Academy, Chen Daoxuan and Qin Yu will go to Xuanling, Lao Zheng and I will flee to the border, as long as we board the Zhou boat, we can all live!"
Chen Daoxuan and Zhang Yuanyi both looked at Zhu Zhiwen, and said with a smile: "Who do you think of us? Leave you two and run for your lives?"
Zhu Zhiwen said it lightly, but in fact, the situation is much more difficult than this, even the royal family has been dispatched, Zhu Zhiwen and Lao Zheng want to reach the border safe and sound, so Zhang Yuanyi and Chen Daoxuan unanimously decided to stay at least reach the border and then say anything about parting ways.
Zhu Zhiwen was helpless, and persuaded them for a long time to no avail, and finally respected their choice.
Lao Zheng except for the beginning of the opening of the mouth, basically did not open his mouth, he is a rough man, those schemes and whatever, I really don't know much, in his heart, in addition to protecting his own young master, there is only boxing, there was revenge, and now the revenge has to be avenged, he is very satisfied.
If it really comes to the time of last resort, he is willing to exchange his death for the lives of these juniors, and it is almost enough to live so old.
He just watched a few juniors discussing countermeasures with a smile on his face.
The young master of his own family has met more and more friends, and his heart is really happy.
In this assassination of Zhu Zhiwen, the empress specially sent Sun Jusun to command, the first father-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, known as "everything under the Qianyuan can be killed", squinted his eyes at the moment and thought about how to minimize the loss of the surrounding area, and kill everyone here.
A Zheng Tuo is obviously not enough for him to see, but he is curious about how many tricks he can hold him up?
"Boom!" The inn suddenly exploded, and a golden light flashed, like a rainbow, flying into the distance in an instant!
"Chase!" Sun Ju said in a deep voice!
With an order, the whole body was moved, and all the soldier families were dispatched!
The hunt is on!
