Chapter 227: Return to the Palace
"The king of Changsha was assassinated and died?"
After Ning Xiaotang heard the news, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Although he guessed that something might have happened to the Changsha Palace, he didn't expect the Changsha King to be assassinated and killed.
Shen Ning'er, Mo Qingchen and Shen Yueyue were also full of surprise, you must know that the King of Changsha is an existence like an emperor in Changsha County, he can be said to be famous and well-known, but he didn't expect to be killed now.
And the people in the porridge shop were even more stunned and shocked, completely shocked by this terrifying news.
Ning Xiaotang glanced at Qiu Ming and Li Qiong and asked, "The King of Changsha was killed by that person just now?"
Qiu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "It's that person, just half an hour ago. ”
Li Qiong sighed and said, "We never thought that Black Rose would send a master of the Innate Realm in order to take the life of the King of Changsha. We didn't have time to stop it, even the master of the Shangguan Sect was injured a little. ”
Ning Xiaotang nodded slightly, Black Rose was the most terrifying and powerful killer organization of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the innate realm killers it sent out, the assassination skills naturally reached an incredible level.
Even if the king of Changsha is around, there are layers of masters to protect him and be heavily guarded. But to prevent such a terrifying character from killing people, it still seems a little powerless and vulnerable.
"Let's go, I'll go back to the palace with you first. Ning Xiaotang sighed slightly, the king of Changsha was stabbed to death, and his original promise to protect the king of Changsha was a gaffe.
In order to assassinate the King of Changsha, Black Rose actually sent a master of the Innate Realm, which Ning Xiaotang did not expect.
After all, the master of the Innate Realm had not been publicly active on the rivers and lakes for decades.
Moreover, Ning Xiaotang had also heard of the Chang'an Covenant from Shangguan Rufeng and others. Knowing that there was an agreement between good and evil, the master of the innate realm could not make a casual move.
But now it seems that this agreement is not binding at all. Because Black Rose has already dispatched the master of the Innate Realm, and the King of Changsha has also died in the hands of the other party.
This is exactly what Ning Xiaotang was puzzled in his heart.
In order to kill the king of Changsha, Black Rose did not hesitate to violate the long-term agreement between good and evil, what is the reason for this?
Originally, Ning Xiaotang thought that the sheepskin map in the hands of the King of Changsha had attracted the Black Rose, but now it seems that things are far from being that simple.
Maybe the other evil forces were really for that sheepskin map, but at least Black Rose was not.
The true purpose of the Black Rose is the life of the King of Changsha!
Before leaving the porridge shop, Ning Xiaotang told Shen Ning'er and Shen Yueyue: "I'll go to the palace, and you go back to the inn first." It's best to pack your things and leave Changsha City as soon as possible. ”
After speaking, Ning Xiaotang, Qiu Ming and the others immediately hurried towards the direction of Changsha Palace.
Shen Ning'er, Shen Yueyue, and Mo Qingchen also returned to the inn immediately.
However, just as Ning Xiaotang was leaving, what he didn't notice was that on the roof of a private house two hundred zhang away from the porridge shop, there was a sudden distortion of air, and a black-robed man wearing a colorful ghost mask slowly appeared.
If Ning Xiaotang saw it, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, this person was the deputy owner of the Red Mansion.
The deputy owner of the Red Mansion glanced at the direction where Ning Xiaotang and the others left, and then he looked at Shen Ning'er and the others from a distance.
In the masked eyeholes of his face, a light flickered, as if he was planning something.
After a while, a voice came from the courtyard below the house.
"My lord, it's all settled. "Those were a few black-robed people who were dressed in the same way as the deputy owner of the Red Mansion.
The deputy owner of the Red Mansion casually glanced at the courtyard below, where there were still seven or eight corpses, male and female, blood spilled all over the ground, and there was no breath at all.
He said indifferently: "Okay, but then, there is a second mission, you help me to spy on the three people first, and then wait for my orders at any time." ”
"The second mission?, to monitor three people?" A trace of doubt flashed in the hearts of several black-robed people in the courtyard, but no one asked stupidly.
"Yes, sir. The black-robed men in the courtyard responded in unison.
......
When Ning Xiaotang returned to the Changsha Palace, the entire palace was already full of rumors, and the plants and trees were all soldiers.
A large number of guards patrolled the entire palace, back and forth.
Several major martial arts sects, six gates and many other masters are also guarding and guarding in various important places in the palace one by one.
At this moment, everyone realized that something had happened to the palace.
It's just that the news of the assassination of the king of Changsha seems to be still being blocked.
Although the crowd felt the tension, they did not lose order.
Ning Xiaotang followed Qiu Ming and Li Qiong to the courtyard where the palace of Sima Wu, the king of Changsha, was located.
The defense in the courtyard is extremely strict.
Han Meng and several other gods of the Six Gates, as well as many masters such as the Water Moon Sect and the Qingxuan Sect, were all waiting in the courtyard at this time.
When everyone saw Ning Xiaotang, Qiu Ming, and Li Qiong coming, they immediately made way out of the way.
The three of them didn't say hello and walked straight into the bedroom of the king of Changsha.
In the center of the room, there was a large pool of blood on the ground.
Sima Wu, the king of Changsha, himself had been carried to the bed at this time.
A fist-sized blood hole was opened in his chest, and he could even see the heart inside.
It's just that half of the heart is now left.
The robes on Sima Wu's body were full of dark red blood spots. He was motionless, and he had long since lost the slightest breath.
At this time, the king of Changsha was just a corpse.
In the room, there are several figures.
Shangguan Rufeng's face was as pale as paper, and he sat on the ground with a depressed expression, and was pranayama with his eyes closed. His robe was stained with blood, and he was obviously not lightly injured.
Gongsun Xu and Qiu Xiao were all pale, and their moods were extremely bad.
The rest of the woman was a beautiful woman in her thirties, who was sitting on a chair and crying quietly, thinking that it was a concubine of the king of Changsha.
After Ning Xiaotang and the three of them came in, everyone in the room looked over, and even Shangguan Rufeng also opened his eyes.
Qiu Ming sighed and said, "Brother Shangguan, I'm sorry, Fairy Li and I can't keep that person at all." ”
Shangguan Rufeng smiled slightly bitterly and said, "It's good that you can come back safe and sound." In order to take the life of the King of Changsha, this black rose took great pains to dispatch a master of the Innate Realm, which is completely a situation of ambition! In the face of the existence of the Innate Realm, it is impossible for us to protect the King of Changsha. ”
Gongsun Xuan frowned and said, "Brother Shangguan, this matter is not simple, and the hidden secrets are not small. ”
Shangguan Rufeng said: "I will show this matter to the Holy Lord, there are innate realm masters involved, it seems that we can't handle it with our strength alone." ”
After speaking, Shangguan Rufeng suddenly coughed continuously.
Ning Xiaotang said, "Master Shangguan, do you want me to take a look at your injuries?"
Shangguan Rufeng was not reckless, nodded slightly, and said, "Then it will trouble Master Ningzhuang." ”
At that moment, Ning Xiaotang began to diagnose his pulse.
"Master Shangguan, your injuries are not light. Ning Xiaotang frowned slightly.
Shangguan Rufeng said helplessly: "If you get a little injured, you can save the king of Changsha, it's worth it, but unfortunately you can't protect the king of Changsha in the end." ”
After the diagnosis, Ning Xiaotang began to administer needles to Shangguan Rufeng to control his injuries.
After about a quarter of an hour, a hoarse voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"Tsk, in broad daylight, so heavily guarded, could it be that the King of Changsha was really taken by those guys from Black Rose?"
