Chapter 228: Nine Deaths and One Life

As soon as he thought of the conspiracy, Han Bing thought of a person that both he and Haoxing Mingrui ignored at the same time - Zheng Yong.

Although the emperor wants to kill Han Bing, he can only let others kill him for him. And the person who can do this for him can only be his henchman Zheng Yong.

This incident should have been expected, so it was ignored by everyone, and no one even thought about it.

So, an accident that no one expected, appeared-

Zheng Yong actually did not follow the emperor's instructions and asked people to intercept and kill Han Bing outside Jishi Temple. What's even more bizarre is that he actually ambushed those Ouchi masters in the temple.

So, what is Zheng Yong's purpose in doing this?

The direct result of letting Han Bing enter the temple was that he was able to work with Master Huinian to open the door of the underworld with the Qiankun key.

In this way, it provides an opportunity for those Ouchi secret agents who have been snooping in the shadows, allowing them to discover the entrance to the underworld, and even possibly discover the secrets of how to use the Qiankun key to open the door of the underworld.

But to do these things, only Zhitong and his accomplices can accomplish it, and what are those Ouchi masters who suddenly sneaked into the temple for?

Dispatching so many masters at once is obviously to use their force to achieve some kind of goal.

If the purpose of their visit was to kill Han Bing and snatch the key in his hand, then their approach would be ridiculous.

Although Jishi Temple is a temple to protect the country, the scale is not large, and there are not many temples and temples during it, so there are not many suitable places for Tibetans at all.

In addition, there are many monks who know martial arts in Jishi Temple, headed by Master Huinian. There are many people who sneak into the temple, and it is inevitable that they will not be noticed.

According to such a rough estimate, there should be no more than thirty Ouchi masters who can sneak into the temple and set up an ambush.

And with only these thirty or so masters, it is absolutely impossible to get any bargain in front of Han Bing, and even the monks of Jishi Temple, including Master Huinian. Then their final outcome can only be to go and have no return.

With Zheng Yong's cunning and scheming, he naturally would not do such a stupid thing.

In addition, the emperor will never allow the Ouchi master to create trouble in the Protector Temple, so as to attract the attention of all forces to the Jishi Temple, and thus bring a threat to the Protector Pillar.

Then, the only reasonable explanation for the appearance of these Ouchi masters in Jishi Temple at this moment is-

They were not sent by the emperor, but had already been bought by Zheng Yong to serve this traitorous eunuch. Moreover, the object they are going to attack this time is not Han Bing, but Master Huinian!

What Zheng Yong wanted to snatch was the key in Master Huinian's hand.

Since these masters in the temple are Zheng Yong's people, where did the emperor's people go?

Outside the temple, of course!

It is conceivable that outside the temple at this moment, there must be those people who were really sent by the emperor to deal with Han Bing and snatch the key in his hand.

In this way, this time Zheng Yong not only wanted to explore the entrance of the underworld, but also tried in vain to seize two Qiankun keys in one fell swoop.

Thinking about this, Han Bing also calculated every step of Zheng Yong's arrangement one by one.

Zheng Yong must have used some means in advance, deliberately so that the emperor's people could not arrive before Han Bing entered Jishi Temple, so that he could enter the temple safely.

In this way, Master Han Bing and Huinian, who are ignorant of the danger, will use the Qiankun Key to open the door of the underworld. And all of this will naturally fall into the eyes of the Ouchi secret agent who is following him.

After Han Bing and Master Hui Nian came out of the underworld, as soon as Han Bing walked out of the gate of Jishi Temple, those emperors who had already been ambushed outside the temple would launch a killing operation against him and seize the key in his hand.

At the same time, those who infiltrated Zheng Yong in the temple would also attack Master Huinian and snatch the Kun key in his hand.

Afterwards, Zheng Yong could completely say that the person who attacked Master Huinian was a northerner or a hermit. In this way, he can secretly keep the Kun key for himself, and only give the dry key that was taken from the cold ice to the emperor.

The emperor has always favored Zheng Yong, and it is likely to be deceived by him, and he will not doubt what he has done at all. Later, Zheng Yong also had the opportunity to steal the dry key from the emperor who was defenseless against him.

As for the reason why Zheng Yong would snatch the key so deliberately, Han Bing also guessed a little in his heart.

Gong Yan and Shen Qingluo, these two northerners have an unusual relationship with Zheng Yong's father and son, and this matter should not be a pure coincidence. Although I don't know how they said Zheng Yong, it is basically certain that Zheng Yong has taken refuge in the northerners.

From this point of view, his purpose in seizing the key to Qiankun is obvious - to open the gate of the underworld, destroy the pillar of the protector god, and subvert the Dayu country.

It is precisely because he has completely seen the current grim situation that Han Bing has made an extremely important decision-

In tonight's battle, no matter whether he survives or not, he must not let Master Huinian and Jishisi be involved.

At this moment, there are Ouchi secret agents and a large number of Ouchi masters in Jishi Temple, and outside the temple, there must have been more enemies layer by layer.

In the face of such a powerful enemy, including Han Bing himself, even if Master Huinian and all the monks in Jishi Temple who know martial arts are added, they will never be the opponents of these enemies.

It was precisely because he knew that the defeat was decided, and his side had no chance of winning at all, that Han Bing resolutely could not let Master Huinian interfere in all his actions in the future.

It is conceivable that as long as Master Huinian takes action and helps Han Bing solve the enemies in the temple, then for those enemies outside the temple, this master will not choose to stand idly by. In this way, both he and Jishiji will be completely involved.

And that's exactly what Ice can't let happen anyway.

In tonight's battle, it is inevitable that you will die in your life.

As for whether he will include himself in that "life", Han Bing is not the slightest sure.

Since he could no longer guarantee that the key in his hand would not be lost, it became a very important matter to keep the key in Master Huinian's hand.

In this way, even if Han Bing's own key unfortunately falls into the hands of the emperor, there will be no too serious consequences.

At most, Zheng Yong could steal a dry key from the emperor, but it was impossible to get the Kun key from Master Huinian, who had already guarded against him.

And with just one dry key, Zheng Yong can't open the door of the underworld.

Then, tonight's crisis will not pose any threat to the Protector Pillar, and its consequences will not be so severe that it can no longer be reversed.
