Chapter 144: The Trap

The news that the ministers had been invited to a big meal by His Majesty the Emperor soon spread throughout the city of Thorns, and for a while the people in the streets and alleys would talk a lot when they saw the officials' vehicles, and then continue to rush to work with their tools, because they knew that this was just an after-dinner conversation, and the real thing was to hurry up and build the house, otherwise, no one would know which one they would be drawn to.

In fact, when all the new houses could be purchased or purchased in installments with wages, all the people in Thorn City were boiling, and soon the news spread to the periphery of Thorn City, so it attracted a lot of outsiders, and with the influx of people, the whole Thorn City became truly vibrant.

But many people don't know that this decree was not only implemented in the city of thorns, but also began to build in nearby cities and towns, and some of these wages were provided by the empire, but the majority was provided by the nobles and lords, although it caused a lot of complaints, but under the deterrence of the army, they still swallowed their anger, and half a month passed.

And in the palace of the Kotler Empire in Thorn City, that is, in the post house where His Royal Highness the regent of the Kotler Empire is located, the ghost clown stretched and said, "Well, today is the first day?"

"Teacher, today is the thirtieth day. Jonny said respectfully, but his face was a little pale, in the past thirty days, he witnessed the ability of ghosts and ugliness to govern the country, in the face of a problem, he never directly solved it, but regarded the main problem as a secondary problem, and then solved the main problem virtually from doing the secondary problem, the documents he wrote, one by one are more simple than the other, can be understood, but can not see through, and when he sees through, he can only look up with awe, and the addition of the second prince in the later period confirms this result.

The talent of a ghost and an ugly person can be regarded as a hundred officials, if it is said that it is a means of officialdom, he is an ignorant child, but when it comes to governing the country, he is an absolute giant, and even gives people a sense of existence that should not exist.

"There are still ten days, this king needs to go out for a while, who of the three of you will accompany me?" The three princes stood up at the same time, including the sleepy crown prince Josephine, the height of the ghost ugly was somewhat short in front of the three princes, but the three of them looked up at the ghost ugly, and the ghost ugly nodded slightly and said: " The Binis Empire is famous for its cavalry, and today the king will ride out on horseback for a stroll to change the air, Josephine, you stay to assist my wife in sorting out the documents, and you two will go out of the city with me, and by the way, see the implementation of the decree. ”

After saying that, the ghost ugly had already walked towards the door, and the two princes followed, leaving only Josephine, who had a complaining face, pouted and began to clean up the scrolls all over the ground, because it was a sudden decision, so the preparation was not very sufficient, the ghost ugly's mount was very fast, but the mounts of the two princes were much slower, and the calculation time was not too long, and when the two princes were ready, the team behind them followed, and the ghost ugly did not say a word, and rode out of the city slowly.

When passing through the city gate again, the ghost ugly found that the bloody breath had completely disappeared, it can be seen that the city gate has indeed been cleaned up, the sound of shouts in the city is endless, although it is early in the morning, you can also feel the vitality of the city, out of the city gate ghost ugly in Jonny led to a royal hunting ground outside the city, it was noon, Jonny and Finch invited the ghost clown to hunt, the ghost clown did not want to agree at the beginning, the two princes persuaded back and forth, the ghost clown also picked up the bow and arrow, ready to hunt together, but the ghost clown was a bet with the two princes, and the hunting bet between the nobles was very normal, and the two princes were naturally very happy when the ghost made this proposal, because His Royal Highness said that if the winner was selected from among the two princes, the ghost could set up a special course to impart more experience.

After the noon break, the hunt begins, in fact this season is not suitable for hunting, although it is autumn and cool, but the beasts have long been ready to hibern, and the prey that can appear in the hunting ground is naturally very few, and in general, they are small beasts, and large beasts are basically invisible.

The ghost clown quickly shook off the soldiers behind him, glanced at the woods that were already covered with fallen leaves in front of him, the ghost clown sneered and put on the mask, and then listened attentively for a moment, and then rode into the woods, the horse walked close to the tree, very slow, the ghost clown didn't seem to want to hunt, he didn't take out the bow and arrow, but put Zang Feng on his chest, and in his divine consciousness, Ling Ye was constantly thinking about it.

"Your method of killing yourself is too blatant, aren't you? Aren't you afraid of killing these two little kids?" Lingye was fiddling with his small garden in the fence, the autumn wind was bleak outside, and it was a depression, but Lingye's garden was full of spring, I don't know what plant has emerged brand new green shoots, and there are dots of water on it, which makes people's hearts very comfortable.

The ghost ugly leaned on the fence with his hand and said disapprehantly: "The two of them have murderous intent towards me, and they have already shown it when they met on the post, but that Josephine is very interesting, wise as foolish, in comparison, he is more special for the emperor, it looks like five big and three thick, but in fact he is very careful, and he can think of the person who sprinkles sand in the meal of almsgiving, he must be careful." ”

"Speaking of which, this little kid's reaction is quite fast, and if you sprinkle sand, you will know who is here to eat, if you don't bring him here, wouldn't you let your silver moon open a small stove for him? Let him eat alone, it's a bit unkind, right?" Ling Ye slowly stood up, and then stretched his waist and said: "There are a lot of traps in this ghost forest, and they have been arranged for a long time, do you think this is specifically for you?"

The ghost ugly shook his head and said: "I don't care who it was targeting at first, but what I do know is that now someone is targeting me, and if I have time to chatter, this little king has prey." After saying that, the ghostly figure was in the consciousness of the child, and the spirit master sighed and watered the plants under his feet again, and then muttered to himself: "Hurry up and grow up, the next watering is not sure when it will be." ”

In reality, the ghost quickly pulled out the iron bow and feather arrows behind him, and then the bow was like a full moon, the arrow was like a meteor, and the bowstring rang out, but there was a sigh from the ghost, "It's a pity, the shot is crooked." The feather arrow pierced through the trees directly opposite, and did not stop until it pierced the second tree, the tail of the feather arrow shook by itself, and the sound of the trees tearing spread, and the surrounding area suddenly caused a panic, and the beasts and birds scattered, and the ghosts and ugliness did not care, but they seemed to continue to twist the bow and arrows leisurely, and then another arrow.

But this arrow is indeed much bigger than the movement caused by the arrow just now, a figure rushed out of the grass in embarrassment, and then ran wildly, after a few flashes of his body, he actually disappeared, the ghost ugly sneered and took back the third arrow, and the spirit master in any hidden creatures can not escape reconnaissance, and the ghost ugly himself is from the military, even if the spirit master does not remind, he can see the disguise of the person just now.

"I used crossbow arrows, well, and I was poisoned, and the ambush was long enough, but I was a little timid. After saying that, the ghost ugly took out Zang Feng again, drove the horse forward, and did not see any beasts along the way, and the faint cheers showed that I didn't know which prince got the prey, the ghost ugly looked at the Binis Imperial soldiers who had just caught up behind him, but his face changed, and the hidden feng in his hand was suddenly unsheathed, and slowly turned the horse's head and smiled coldly: "It seems that there is more than one wave." ”

"Kill!" The movements on the hands of these soldiers did not stop because of the ghost ugly talking, after the bow and arrow were shot, these soldiers began to charge, the ghost ugly eyes narrowed slightly, the Tibetan Feng in his hand was instantly covered with cold ice, the cold air was wanton, countless ice elements gathered frantically on the Tibetan Feng, the ghost ugly's hand could only be dark blue ice, the Tibetan Feng that had already been wrapped in cold ice could barely see the outline, a strange spear appeared in front of many cavalry, the faces of the people were surprised, but then the action was clean and neat, but it was a pity that one inch long and one inch strong, the ghost ugly shook with one hand, Fang Tian's halberd was like a spirit snake spitting out letters, directly penetrating the armor of the first soldier, The heavy force made this soldier fly out directly from the horse, the soldiers behind him couldn't dodge, and they were also knocked away, the original charging team was like a dagger, but what they encountered was a ghost ugly, a person who dared to go up and call the board even thirteen times, Fang Tian painted a halberd in his hand like a spiritual object, swept straight stabs, chopped and shoveled hooks, these cavalry had been cut off the horse before they could react, there were twenty followers who originally followed the ghost ugly, but these twenty or so people could not be deployed in the woods at all, and the result was completely wiped out by the ghost ugly, originally one was killed and broke his courage, but he wanted to escape but was nailed to the ground by the ghost and ugly arrow, and the entire retinue was completely wiped out。

"Digging traps, shooting cold arrows, and ambushing swords, how much resentment is this against this king?" "The ghost ugly seemed to be talking to himself, but the weapon that was still dripping with blood in his hand was gentle, and the blood beads on the weapon were thrown off, and the ghost ugly slowly raised the weapon and suddenly turned around and shouted: "You are also advanced in cultivation, do you only know how to sneak attack, and you don't even have the courage to fight?"

There was still silence around, but soon the ghost ugly heard a burst of applause, and a person slowly walked out of the woods, the ghost ugly's eyes narrowed, and said with a smile: "Your Highness didn't go hunting, but came to see the king's jokes?"

"His Royal Highness the Ghost Ugly is polite, the performance just now is good, I didn't expect His Highness to be a martial artist, actually proficient in everything, I really admire it to the extreme, since His Highness said not to be sneaky, then it seems that it is not impossible to appear directly in a battle. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a few more black shadows around, and the ghost ugly said with a wry smile: "It turns out that His Royal Highness looks up to the ghost and ugly so much, and actually sent ten god-level masters, which made this king very surprised, I am afraid that even this king can't afford to bear this battle, but I have a question." ”

"Let's get straight to the point. ”

"Why did you kill me, Your Highness Finch?"
