Chapter 289: Knowing from Another Country
Towards the end of the feast, King Breguet took his glass and brought three rounds of wine, his face was already hazy and drunk, and he was shaking, ready to go to the backyard to rest.
As soon as I walked to the door, there was a sudden upheaval.
A servant girl with a wine tray rebuked, "Death to the dog thief!" and drew a dagger from under the wine tray and stabbed King Breguet in the chest.
Everything was defenseless.
Shocked, King Breguet grabbed one of the guards next to him, shoved the woman, and slammed into the dagger, killing the guard on the spot, but buying him a little time. Lu Fanren immediately arrived and slashed over.
King Breguet said, "Keep your mouth alive!"
The long knife cut off the woman's waist, and when Lu Fanren heard this, he struck the woman to the ground with the back of the knife, and the female assassin was hit hard in the chest, and with a bang, she hit a pillar with a scream.
Immediately, several guards arrested the woman.
This happened between the lightning and the flint, and by the time everyone reacted, the Assassin had been subdued. The woman was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate figure, clear eyebrows, and a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
"Kill me, dog thief!"
King Breguet looked her up and down, "You are a girl, you don't stay at home well, but you learn to do this assassination, this king has been assassinated ninety-nine times in his life, and no one has ever succeeded!"
The female assassin took a sip and scolded, "That's a whole for you!"
Syllable!
Lu Fanren was in charge of the guards in the palace, and an assassin infiltrated the palace, and he, as the leader, didn't know it, and his heart was angry, and he stepped forward to slap him. The female assassin did not feel any difficulty, her face was red and swollen on the spot, and she puffed up, and blood was left behind the corners of her mouth, and the blood from the corners of the woman's mouth was licked clean, and her eyes shot flames of hatred.
King Breguet asked, "Whoever commanded you, tell me, and this king will let you live!"
The female assassin scolded, "You dog thief, you have done perverse acts, and the evil you have done is too numerous to mention, and everyone will be punished for it, do you need someone to instruct you?"
King Breguet saw the little finger of the Assassin's right hand red, "So you are a descendant of the Bloodcoat Clan!"
When the female assassin saw that her identity was revealed, she no longer concealed it, "Yes, dog thief, for your own selfishness, you robbed the treasures of my clan and killed three thousand of our blood-clothed clansmen, and I am here to ask for your life today!"
On the way to Xiao Jinyan, I heard the introduction of the Ali brothers that the entire Great Chu Dynasty has three royal courts, nine tribes, and dozens of small tribes, each tribe and ethnic group has its own characteristics. The Bloody Cloth Clan was sparsely populated and the weakest in the Great Chu Dynasty, but they were proficient in the art of divine Gu, and they were one of the oldest ethnic groups on the grassland, so Xiao Jinyan was very impressed by this.
There is a characteristic of the body of the blood-clothed people, that is, the little finger of the right hand is red and blood-colored, which is caused by the cultivation of the Divine Gu technique. Half a year ago, the entire Bloodcoat Clan was slaughtered and disappeared from the mainland.
King Breguet laughed, "I see. This king is in a good mood today, if I don't kill you, you can go!"
The female assassin was stunned when she heard this, she almost didn't believe her ears, she came to assassinate King Breguet today, she didn't think about going back alive, who knew that the assassination failed, this person neither killed herself, nor tortured herself, but also let herself live, a little confused, standing in place at a loss.
King Breguet sneered, "What's the matter, can't you let this king carry a sedan chair and invite you out?"
Seeing that the others had no intention of making a move, the female assassin picked up the dagger, jumped up and down, and disappeared into the night.
King Breguet made a look, and Lu Fanren understood and chased after him with a few subordinates
Get out.
Xiao Jinyan said secretly, King Breguet seems to be reckless, but in fact he is scheming. This girl is not very old, and her martial arts skills are not high, but she can blend into the heavily guarded palace, and she will not be able to do it alone, he deliberately let the assassin go, if the female assassin is inexperienced, she will inevitably be touched by Shun Teng.
After the night banquet, as soon as Xiao Jinyan went out, someone rushed over to him, and when he was wrong, he suddenly gave him a note and disappeared into the night.
Back at the Kupang Hall, Xiao Jinyan opened the note and saw that it read, "At three o'clock, the Kupang Hall South Sanlifang Wine Shop, looking forward to meeting!"
Unfamiliar font, no inscription.
Xiao Jinyan didn't have any acquaintances in Xijing, and no one knew about coming here except for the Gubang people, so he didn't want to pay attention to it, but if it was related to Yuwenshuang, wouldn't it delay the big event? Thinking of this, he changed his clothes, and when he arrived, he came to Sanlifang.
Xiao Jinyan saw the Li family's aged wine shop, and a familiar feeling suddenly arose in his heart. It's just that in the middle of the night, the wine shop has already closed, Xiao Jinyan thought about it, and still stepped forward to knock on the door.
An old man opened the door, and Xiao Jinyan handed over the note. Seeing this, the old man let Xiao Jinyan in, lit a candle, and said, "The guest will sit for a while, and my master will be there in a moment." ”
A boy offered fragrant tea, Xiao Jinyan was not interested in tea, his eyes looked at the wine shop, and saw a jar of red water wine, piled up in the corner, and his index finger moved.
Not long after, a man wearing a black cloak and a hat pushed the door through the backyard and said, "Xiao Jinyan!"
Xiao Jinyan was surprised, "Two...... Chu ......"
The person who came was Chu Bieli, the emperor of the Great Chu State, Li Ergou, who used to sell wine in the alleys of Suzhou. Xiao Jinyan didn't know what to call him.
I haven't seen him for more than a year, Chu Bieli is pampered, his figure is a little blessed, and his face is much rounder, but his expression is a little depressed, not as high-spirited as when he first left Suzhou City. It seems that as the Ali brothers said, this old friend who sold wine on the street back then, and now the emperor of the Great Chu State, is not living a very comfortable life.
When he saw Xiao Jinyan, he hugged Xiao Jinyan and said, "Brother!"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Brother Ergou, how do you know that I came to Xijing City?"
Chu Bieli retreated left and right, personally poured a pot of wine, and filled it for the two of them. Xiao Jinyan drank the wine and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Sure enough, it is still the old taste of Suzhou City." ”
Chu said goodbye, "I brewed it myself." ”
"What?" Xiao Jinyan couldn't believe it, he was the emperor of the Chu State, shouldn't he be in charge of all the opportunities and work hard for the government, how could he still brew wine here.
Chu Bieli said hatefully, "I was deceived by that bastard of Breguet!"
He also drank the wine and continued, "Breguet, I don't know how to get the news that Mr. Li and I are in Suzhou, so he instigated my second brother to come to Mr. Li for a duel and welcome me back to Xijing. Who knows, his wolf ambition is simply to let me sit in Beijing and become a puppet. Alas!"
Xiao Jinyan has also heard some rumors, "The matter of attacking the Ming Dynasty is also his idea?"
"I am completely isolated in the capital, the original old subordinates, he pushed to Hengduan Mountain, to Zhao Lanjiang sacrificed a knife, now I am in the capital, I have become a lonely person, the entire palace, everywhere is his eyeliner. Alas!"
"And how did you get out?"
Chu parted ways,
"In the palace, there is a secret passage, when I was the crown prince, my father told me that few people know, I ordered someone to build a wine shop here, which is considered to leave a way back. Alas!"
Xiao Jinyan sighed when he saw every word he said, and he also sighed secretly in his heart, he was originally a wine seller in Jiangnan, living a muddy life, and was protected by the top five masters in the world, wouldn't it be happy?
The two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatted for a while, and Xiao Jinyan asked, "Aunt Li...... How?"
When Chu Bieli left Suzhou, Widow Li also left with him, and it had been a year in the blink of an eye.
When Chu Bieli heard this, a cold look shot out of his eyes, his eyes were red, and he said in a deep voice, "After coming to the capital, she was pregnant with my child, and when she was about to give birth, she got a strange disease inexplicably, and she couldn't hold it up, and it passed." ”
Xiao Jinyan was shocked, "What?"
Chu Bieli said viciously, "It must be Chu Baoji's gang who is the obstruction! Everyone in the palace is arranged by Baoji, I suspect that he made people poisoned, but there is no evidence." ”
When she was in Suzhou City, Widow Li was selling vegetables on the street, and her words were very mean, but she was a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and every time Xiao Jinyan was in trouble, she often came to help herself. Unexpectedly, a farewell back then turned out to be a farewell.
Xiao Jinyan was in a heavy mood, he picked up the wine jug, drank it all, and after a long time, he asked, "Is there any evidence?"
Chu Bei said, "No, even if there is, what can it be?" he sighed again, "When she was eight months old, she asked the imperial doctor to check her pulse, and the imperial doctor said that she was pregnant with a boy, and after a few days, she would die of illness. Is it just a coincidence?"
Bang!
Xiao Jinyan smashed the table with one punch, Aunt Li and Li Ergou, both of them were old friends when he was in trouble, and he was a person who valued love and righteousness, and when he heard what Chu Bieli said, his heart moved to kill.
Seeing this, Chu Bieli said, "Brother, don't be impulsive! I just wanted to come out to meet you and catch up with you, don't mess around." ”
Xiao Jinyan said hatefully, "If there is a chance, I will kill him." ”
Chu Bieli blocked again and again, "Not to mention that the palace is heavily guarded, even if you can get close to him, it may not be his opponent." ”
"He knows martial arts?"
Chu Beili said, "I don't know, but I heard that as early as ten years ago, his martial arts had already advanced to the Tongxiang Realm, but it was just a rumor, and no one had ever seen him make a move." ”
Xiao Jinyan was shocked, in the night banquet today, he didn't feel that there was any internal force fluctuation in King Breguet's body, so there were only two possibilities, one was that he didn't know martial arts, and the other was that his realm was higher than his own.
The two chatted for a while, and at this time, the old man pushed the door and entered, saying, "Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace." ”
Chu said goodbye, "I also took a great risk when I came out this time, Chu Baoji monitored me very strictly, if I am suspicious, I am afraid that my life will be in danger." And ......"
Chu said goodbye and stopped.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Brother Ergou, if you have something, just say it." ”
Chu Bieli was a little hesitant, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a low voice, "I can't hide it, my brother is looking for you, and I really have something to ask for." ”
Xiao Jinyan asked, "What's the matter?"
Chu said goodbye, "This matter is related to my Great Chu National Fortune, and it has something to do with that mountain, I really can't think of anyone else who can do this, so please brother must agree!"
With that, Chu Bieli stood up and knelt in front of Xiao Jinyan.
Ps: I'm too sleepy today, so I'll change it to 3K first.
