"......" the Imperial City Hall, the dead silence seems to be very insignificant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Empress Zhao Min, 'Heavenly General' Zhang Zhuofan, Lin Yue, Zhang Ling, Zhang Wuji and Ao Chunyi all had gloomy faces, and the atmosphere was very depressing!

Overnight, more than 20 commander-level warriors of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' were assassinated!

However, it is not the same as before. Only half of the assassinations were committed by the 'Heavenly Soldiers'!

In previous assassinations, the assassins were all those who appeared to be neutral or pro-empress but were actually the wings of the separatist forces!

Soon, those commanders who had ghosts in their hearts reduced the number of times they went out alone, making it more and more difficult for the 'Heavenly Soldiers' to assassinate!

Fan is not so strict!

This is a secret that is open to the public in the leadership of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'! Because Zhao Min and Zhang Zhuofan's side and the separatist forces have their own scruples, they forcibly pressed it down, so they didn't do it

There is a fierce reaction within the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

For a long time, both Empress Zhao Min and Liao Zhenbang have declared to the outside world that this is an assassination against the entire 'Hidden Dragon Society', and it belongs to the hostile situation from outside the 'Hidden Dragon Society'

Force so-called.

Originally, this was just an excuse to cover up the secret struggle between the empress and the separatist forces! But I didn't want to, this excuse became a reality!

Overnight, more than a dozen commanders who did not belong to the wings of the separatist forces were assassinated! Some of them belonged to the royalist faction of the pro-empress Zhao Min, but many more were centrists!

"Who is doing what?!" Zhao Min's pretty face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water, and asked in a cold voice.

"Could it be revenge?!" Ao Chunyi asked with a frown. He actually knew the cause and effect, and before Lu Xiaofeng and them acted, Invite Yue had already passed on the news through secret channels

He.

"No!" Zhang Wuji explained, "Although those who died were our people, they were more centrists! If they retaliate, they will not implicate these people!"

"What do you mean...... There are outsiders interfering?!" Zhang Zhuofan looked at Zhang Wuji and asked in a deep voice.

"It should be so!" Zhang Wuji already had a plan in his heart, so he said his 'judgment', "I'm afraid that there is a force outside that sees the chaos of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' and wants to mess with it."

Fish in the water!"

"......" Lin Yue hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhao Min, "Could it be Gu Yi's 'Xiao Heaven' who did it?!"

"No!" Zhao Min thought for a moment, then shook his head, "If 'Xiao Heaven' makes a move, with their strength, there won't be only more than ten people stabbed!"

The scene of the "......" fell silent again.

Among the people present, Empress Zhao Min, Lin Yue, and Zhang Ling were the ones who had a lot of battles with Gu Yi's 'Xiao Heaven'! Among them, Lin Yue was the most, and she had faced Lian Nishang and other ancients

A top master under Yi Yi.

Hearing Zhao Min's judgment, Lin Yue also had to admit that if Gu Yi's 'Xiao Heaven' made a move, it should not be more than a dozen people assassinated in this night, but more than a hundred commanders!

"Have you checked the corpse?!" Zhang Zhuofan looked at Zhang Wuji and asked in a deep voice.

"I checked it out for myself. Zhang Wuji nodded and said solemnly, "Almost all of those people were fatally killed by a single blow! Most of them were sharp blade wounds, and only a few were internal injuries from fists. And from

Judging by the wound of the sharp wound, it should be the sword used!"

"Not only that, but the several commanders who were assassinated were of different levels, some of them only controlled dozens of people, and some of them were masters who were stationed on one side and had great grandmaster-level skills!"

Wuji paused and continued, "Judging from the circumstances of the assassination, there are our people, centrists, and people on the other side who died at their hands!

Set the goal, just look at who you meet and act cheaply!"

"The subordinates guessed that the martial arts of the person who made the shot were not low, and at least he was a master at the level of a great grandmaster!" Speaking of this, Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min again, "Even a half-step supreme grandmaster is possible!"

”

"Ling'er, among the half-step supreme grandmasters of 'Xiao Heaven', how many of them use swords?!" Zhao Min's heart moved, and then he looked at Zhang Ling and asked.

"I want to think about it......" Zhang Ling pondered for a while, frowned and said, "It is known that among the masters of 'Xiao Heaven', Gu Yi's wife Mingxin and 'Hundred Flowers Valley' Lin Chaoying are kendo masters

, they are all half-step supreme grandmaster-level masters!'Hundred Flowers Valley' and Shen Qingyin, who was once known as the 'Sword Fairy' on the rivers and lakes, are also masters of swordsmanship, but their strength is unknown, and they should be the most

Most of them are grandmaster-level peak masters. I don't know the rest!"

"Oh?!" Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then who are the masters who are famous for their swordsmanship in the rivers and lakes today?!"

"That's a lot!" Zhang Ling paused, seemed to think about it again, and then said, "In today's rivers and lakes, there are not many masters who are famous for their swordsmanship

Known as the 'Sword God', Ximen Blowing Snow, 'Swordsman' Linghu Chong, and the 'Sword Fairy' Ye Gucheng, who once stood side by side with Ximen Blowing Snow and was later difficult to find, was once known as the 'Three Uniques'

Daoren's He Zudao is known as the 'Sword Master', and his swordsmanship is also extraordinary! These four people are the strongest known swordsmanship masters in the rivers and lakes, but their current strength is not known, and they have been for many years

But judging by their skills before, the lowest is a great grandmaster-level cultivation!"

"Pure Yi. When you were studying art by Lu Xiaofeng's side, had you ever seen the swordsmanship of Ximen Blowing Snow and Ling Hu Chong?!" Zhao Min looked at Ao Chunyi and asked.

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Ao Chunyi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "That Ximen blows the snow horn 'Sword God', but he generally rarely makes a move!

Reserved! The minister was by Lu Xiaofeng's side, and he had never seen Ximen Fuxue perform swordsmanship! Although he had been an elder of the 'Iron Cloud Gate' over the years, he had hardly left his 'Divine Sword Villa' and rarely showed up.

”

"As for the 'swordsman' Ling Hu Chong, he is another extreme character. It is rare to stay in the 'Iron Cloud Gate' for a few days in a year, and it is difficult to meet him when the minister is studying under the master's seat

Opportunity!" Ao Chunyi finally smiled bitterly again, "And the master teaches very strictly, except for the cultivation place, he doesn't let the minister go out at will, so it's ......"

"I understand!" Zhao Min nodded. She actually didn't have too much hope, and after hearing Ao Chunyi finish speaking, she didn't feel disappointed.

"Why don't you take action yourself and arrest those people?!" Zhang Zhuofan asked after being silent for a long time.

"No!" Zhang Wuji immediately stopped, "Grandfather, you can't leave the imperial capital easily!"

"Why is this?!" Zhang Zhuofan frowned and looked at Zhang Wuji, "We know that those who perform the assassination may be half-step supreme grandmaster-level masters, and only the old man can be sure of his move."

Why can't you leave the imperial capital?!"

"Grandfather. Zhang Wuji paused and sorted out his language, "Early this morning, when I learned that someone was fishing in troubled waters, I suggested that Your Majesty should put those years of extraordinary potential

After all, these young people are the hope of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', and their transfer to the emperor without a high position for the time being will not affect the various ministries

The door is moving!"

"Judging from the assassination situation, my grandfather should be able to see that those people are obviously avoiding the imperial capital! From this, it can be judged that they must be afraid of their grandfather's strength, so they dare not approach the emperor

Therefore, transferring these young people to the imperial capital is the best protection for them!"

"If grandfather leaves the imperial capital, then they will immediately attack the imperial capital!" said this, Zhang Wuji's face became solemn, "A peek at a corner can tell the whole picture, judging from the method of assassination."

Once they learn that their grandfather is out, I am afraid that they will go all out against the young people in the imperial capital. By that time......"

"......" Zhang Zhuofan frowned, and then could only sigh, "That's it!"

In fact, in terms of martial arts alone, in the imperial capital, Zhao Min and Lin Yue were already half-step supreme grandmaster-level masters!

Can't please anything!

But if the other party is bent on not fighting them head-on but attacking and killing those young people in a roundabout way, Zhao Min and Lin Yue will be a little powerless!

Half a step is half a step, if you are not a real supreme grandmaster, it is impossible to detect every move of the imperial capital!

The supreme great master who can communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, as long as he is on guard with all his might, no one can escape his defense! This is also why Lu Xiaofeng tried his best to avoid the supreme when they acted

The reason why the Great Grandmaster was able to trigger the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was within the limit!

"Bastard!" Zhao Min said angrily.

At this moment, she was really angry that she had been trapped at the peak of the Great Grandmaster level for so long! If she could break through to the Supreme Grand Master, then Zhang Zhuofan would be able to make a move without any scruples!

"So, what should we do?!" Zhang Ling also asked with a solemn face.

"To this day, the 'Heavenly Soldiers' under my grandfather's command can't be reserved!" Zhang Wuji looked at Zhang Zhuofan and said solemnly, "Except for the 'Heavenly Soldiers' who carried out the assassination mission, the rest of them

Form a patrol squad to guard against the assassins!"

"......" Zhang Zhuofan frowned and fell silent, then raised his head to look at Zhao Min and said, "That's fine, the 'Heavenly Soldier' is not bad, although it is not as good as the Supreme Grandmaster."

There is still no shortage of great grandmaster-level masters! With a team of twelve people, it is more than enough to deal with a half-step supreme grandmaster-level opponent!"

"That's right!" Zhao Min also knew at this time that it was not the time to bargain, so he immediately nodded and said.

"The old man is going to arrange it!" Zhang Zhuofan saluted Zhao Min and turned to leave.

"You guys go down first, Chun Yi stays!" Zhao Min waved his hand and said.

"Yes!" Lin Yue, Zhang Ling, and Zhang Wuji saluted Zhao Min and left.

"Mother, there is a task for the child?!" Ao Chunyi asked Zhao Min after everyone left.

As Zhao Min's 'righteous son', he is much closer to him in private.

"Naturally, I have something to hand over to you!" Zhao Min smiled gently at Ao Chunyi, took out a token and handed it to the other party.

This is not a 'Tiger Talisman'! The previously recovered 'Tiger Talisman' has been invalidated, and the new 'Tiger Talisman' will not be issued until the internal rebellion cannot be quelled! Therefore, Zhao Min will put himself personally

The identity waist card was handed over to Ao Chunyi.

As one of the most important symbols of the empress, this jade plaque carved with a five-clawed golden dragon is one of Zhao Min's most important status symbols!

On the front is a big 'Zhao' character, and on the back is a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon!

As a waist card held by the rulers of the Zhao clan in previous dynasties, it can be regarded as the 'Tiger Talisman' of the highest authority of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'! Anyone who holds this waist card and gives an order is equivalent to the Zijin Emperor

Therefore, Ao Chunyi, who holds this jade plate, has the same authority as Zhao Min!

"Among these young people gathered in the imperial capital, there must be other forces or those who are lurking in the insurgency!" Zhao Min stared at Ao Chunyi's eyes and said solemnly, "Your mission."

Yes, find them, deal with them, in my name!"

"Yes, Mother!" Ao Chunyi immediately replied respectfully.

"Go ahead. Zhao Min nodded with a smile and waved his hand.

"Yes!" Ao Chunyi put away the jade plaque, turned around and walked outside the main hall.

I have to say that Zhao Min really believes in Ao Chunyi!

Even Zhao Min didn't know that when she first met Ao Chunyi, she had a lot of good feelings from the depths of her heart.

This is not the affection of men and women, but more like the appearance of Ao Chunyi aroused Zhao Min's maternal feelings!

After that, Ao Chunyi's series of performances made Zhao Min greatly appreciate and satisfied with him, so that he has absolute trust now!

This is also one of the important reasons why Zhao Min fell into great pain after learning Ao Chunyi's identity later!

While Zhao Min was discussing with the rest of the people, in a secret stronghold of the Liao family, Liao Zhenbang, He Yuesheng, Guan Haishan, Wu Wuji and Yin San also gathered together.

The unexpected assassination had to be taken seriously, especially as they were preparing to fight back!

"Damn!" Wu Wuji smashed the coffee table in front of him into pieces with a punch, and said angrily, "I don't know if those bastards disrupted our plans!"

It turned out that before this, Yin San had already formulated a counterattack to deal with the assassination of the 'Heavenly Soldier'!

I thought that in this counterattack, they could not only make the other party stop assassinating this kind of 'tasteless' behavior, but also win the hearts of the low-level personnel of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', thereby weakening the empress

Zhao Min's power, enhance the strength of your own side!

Even in Yin San's plan, once there is an obvious advantage, you can also start an incident in advance!

But just last night, the assassination of more than a dozen people unexpectedly brought all plans to an impasse!

Now even fools can see that there are external forces involved in this matter! If the collected evidence is used to win over low-level personnel who do not know the situation, I am afraid it will no longer be effective

！

As long as Zhao Min pushes all the previous assassinations to this interfering force, he can push two hundred and sixty-five to offset the damage caused by Yin San's plan!

One is not good, Liao Zhenbang and they will steal chickens and rice, and lose the hearts of the people they already have!

Plans can't keep up with changes, that's what I'm saying!
