Chapter 69: The Lost King

As we killed the last assassin and let our guard down, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind, and it was extremely fast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was a sneak attack that had been planned for a long time, and even if I noticed it and warned me, it still couldn't save the situation.

Zhao Yunyang, the king of Zhao who was standing in place, suddenly snorted, spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and his body shook and was about to fall forward.

Seeing this scene, my heart was cold, and I immediately stepped forward to catch his body and let him lean on me.

Looking in the direction where the hidden weapon came, I could only see a darkness, and it seemed that the sneak attackers had already fled!

Seeing that his master was sneak attacked, Zhao San and Zhao Si immediately surrounded him and looked at Zhao Yunyang with concern.

"Lord, are you alright?"

When asked by a person, King Zhao, whose face was faintly darkened, smiled miserably and said, "It's just that someone sneaked up on it, it's not a big deal." ”

Although he pretended to be good on his face, this lie was so simple that it could be seen through at a glance.

Feeling the warmth running down the back of my hand, I pulled my hand out from behind his back, revealing that it had been stained with blackened blood.

On Zhao Yunyang's back, there was a small black hole, and a highly poisonous hidden weapon was shot into it from this place, severely injuring Zhao Yunyang.

Seeing this wound, my heart suddenly tightened, and I immediately used a faint source qi to suck out the hidden weapon along the wound.

Looking at the hidden weapon that fell into my palm, my pupils contracted uncontrollably, because this hidden weapon was too familiar to me.

I don't know what killed the little guy, but I only know that it is a non-toxic weapon like the Phoenix Feather.

And the hidden weapon shot on King Zhao's body is definitely a phoenix feather, and this needle is definitely a phoenix needle, which is enough to show this in terms of toxicity and destructive power.

It's just that I don't understand, why Phoenix Feather appeared here, and why it was used to sneak attack Zhao Yunyang, King of Zhao, what went wrong with Master Gu Jianqiu......

There was a cloud of doubt in my heart, and I couldn't figure out the cause and effect of it, so I had a headache!

Turning my eyes to Zhao Yunyang again, I could only sigh secretly, the poison that even the Xiaocheng realm couldn't resist, how could Zhao Yunyang in the condensation realm survive.

Although I am not afraid of poison, it is a pity that I will not detoxify at all!

It seemed to be a return to the light, Zhao Yunyang's pale and dark face suddenly became rosy, and he held one of my hands and whispered: "Qian'er's two swords are in your hands, you should be Li Longchen!"

"Hmm. ”

Looking at this dying King Zhao, I was also a little sad in my heart, because I faintly saw through this plan.

This is a complicated calculation, first the invaders pretended to calculate Zhao Wangfu, and then Zhao Yunyang designed to lay an ambush, ready to calculate these invaders, and the designer's ultimate goal was Zhao Yunyang, the king of Zhao.

Originally, Zhao Yunyang would not have come out, nor would he have been plotted, but because of Zhao Qianxue, he still came out.

This is the most subtle part of this calculation, and it is also the most insidious and vicious part!

Let the guys in the Xiaocheng realm come out to die, and let all the assassins with terrifying secret weapons die in battle, so as to paralyze us and let us relax our vigilance.

At this point, the final target of this calculation was exposed to the range of their attack, and then they shot without any hesitation or pause.

As a result, their calculations were even better, because Zhao Yunyang, the king of Zhao, was still dead......

In the final analysis, he is just a father who died to save his daughter, a qualified father!

Seeing me nodding, he smiled palely and said, "Good boy, how did you cheat my precious daughter's heart out of it and make her pay so much for you!"

"Qianxue has paid a lot for me? is he talking about Zhao Qianxue taking off her strength to help me......

I didn't understand him too much, and I only thought he was joking with me, and I actually wanted to laugh and laugh at him, but the sadness and bitterness in my heart made me not even have the strength to force a smile.

I didn't speak, he didn't pay much attention, and continued: "Her heart is all on you, and everything she can do is done for you, you have to take good care of her for me, otherwise I will become ...... I become a ghost, too...... I won't let you go!"

When he spoke again, he was already weak, and his speech was intermittent.

The poison on the phoenix needle is so terrifying that it is almost certain to die, and ordinary people may not even have the ability to hold on for a short while.

Knowing what he was thinking about, I was held by his hand and held him backhand, with a little force, and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Qianxue." ”

Bowing his head weakly, he said very hurriedly: "You remember, her name is not Qianxue, her name is ...... Zhao ...... Zhao ...... Qian ......"

I don't know if I finished the last sentence, this King Zhao died like this, and his slowly closed eyes never had a chance to open again!

"Lord!"

Seeing Zhao Yunyang dead, Zhao San and Zhao Si on the side screamed in grief, and fell down on their knees towards King Zhao's corpse together, their eyes weeping.

Call......

Taking a deep breath and calming my heart with extremely strong sorrow, I slowly lowered Zhao Yunyang to the ground and turned to look at Qianxue.

Zhao Yunyang is dead, what he remembers most is Qianxue, and he also entrusted Qianxue to me, I naturally can't live up to his expectations.

Seeing that Qianxue was still in a coma and there was no other major problem, I picked her up, looked at Zhao San and Zhao Si and said, "Where are we going now, King Zhao needs to rest in peace, and he can't stay here." ”

They looked at each other and agreed with my words, one of them carefully picked up the body of King Zhao, and the other said: "The living people of King Zhao's Mansion have died, and we can only go to Leiyang to join the eldest prince now!"

"This ......"

As soon as this person said this, the man behind King Zhao was a little strange and wanted to question it, but unfortunately before he could say it, he was stopped by another person with a look.

"The eldest prince?"

Seeing the strange behavior of these two people, I paid a little attention in my heart, and paid more attention to the title of "eldest prince", so I asked a rhetorical question.

The person who spoke nodded to me and explained: "King Zhao has two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Zhao Xin, the second lady Zhao Qianxue, and the third son Zhao Hongming. ”

Thinking that this Zhao Xin is Qianxue's brother, I didn't refuse, I went to her brother's side, and I thought that Qianxue was also willing.

So, five of us, four living and one dead, headed for Leiyang.

When I was on the road, I didn't understand what Zhao Yunyang said to me before his death, so I took it out and asked Zhao San and Zhao Si.

"Do you know what His Royal Highness King Zhao meant before leaving?"

When I asked, the two looked at each other, and then shook their heads together.

After talking, I knew that the person who was carrying King Zhao on her back now was Zhao Si, and the person who had spoken to me before was Zhao San.

At this time, it was Zhao San who opened his mouth to answer me.

"Li Shaoxia, the Lord has never told us people about these things, but just told us, no matter what we send, everything is based on Miss!"

Hearing this, I asked almost without any hesitation, "Between the two sons and the young lady, you will choose the young lady, right?"

"That's right!"

The two of them also nodded without any hesitation, and they really thoroughly implemented Zhao Yunyang's orders.

"Our brothers and sisters have been given their lives by the Lord, and their names have been given by the Lord, and we have these two lives from the Lord, and we only obey the orders of the Lord!"

In this regard, I did not express my attitude, but I had more speculation about Zhao Yunyang's words.

Zhao Qianxue and Zhao Qian's name may not have much to do with each other, but Zhao Yunyang's instructions to Zhao San and Zhao Si are very problematic.

Seeing the die-hard attitude of these two people, he knew that they were definitely Zhao Yunyang's henchmen.

And Zhao Yunyang was ready to hand over these two henchmen, and even his right-hand man, to Zhao Qianxue before he died, oh no, Zhao Qian, what does this mean......

Speculating on something terrifying, I remembered the assassination from the Shadows!

I don't know if anyone spent money to buy Zhao Xin or Zhao Hongming's life, but it is very problematic for Hua Xuan to assassinate Zhao Qian in the rain.

If you don't kill the prince who can inherit the unification, you have nothing to do and come over to kill the county lord, isn't it nothing to look for......

I didn't dare to say this kind of speculation, so I asked Zhao San, "How is the relationship between King Zhao and the two princes?"

As if aware of my problem, Zhao San looked at me strangely, his lips trembled, but the words did not come out.

After a pause, he said: "Li Shaoxia, our two brothers are only loyal to the Lord, not to the Zhao family, and now they are only loyal to Miss!"

Looking at me, I understood that he was expressing his position, and I couldn't help but smile, and said: "That's the best, you haven't told me the relationship between King Zhao and the two sons." ”

Make all the necessary things clear, and he will have no scruples about telling these things again.

"Actually, the relationship between the lord and the two sons is not good, both sons were born to the second lady, and only the young lady was born to the eldest lady!"

"Since the two sons began to take charge of the army, they have not returned to Xinyang to meet the Lord for a long time. ”

"The Lord didn't care about this situation at first, but later, for some reason, the Lord suddenly asked us to secretly send someone to keep a close eye on the movements of the two sons. ”

"As long as the two sons have bad intentions, they will ......"

"Kill or kill, right?"

When I heard this, I probably understood something, so I filled in the unfinished words for Zhao San.

This should be what Zhao Si wanted to say and stop talking about before, these two guys are not stupid and loyal, they still have a scale in their hearts.

Zhao San just stared at me, his gaze became extremely sharp, and there was a taste of wanting to see me through in it.

Ignoring his gaze, I immediately said: "Let's not go to Leiyang, let's go to Bingcheng instead! If my suspicion is not wrong, I have to wait for the news that King Zhao has been killed, and the two sons are afraid that they will not be idle!"

This kind of words were all pointed, and they were immediately reminded, and then rerouted to the ice city slightly southeast of Xinyang.

"Li Shaoxia, Zhao Guo's military strength totals 500,000, mainly in the hands of four people, the eldest prince has three percent, the great general Yebei has three percent, the third prince has two percent, and the hussar general Ning Chuan has two percent!"

"The eldest prince is in Leiyang, the general is in Liyang, which is the main position against Dongyi, the third prince is in Chaoyang, and is in charge of affairs with the Song State, and the hussar general is in Dingshui, against Dongyi and the Liang State in the south!"

During the journey, he seemed to tell me about Zhao Guo's defense problems, intentionally or unintentionally, but the actual intention was not so simple......

It should have been my previous inquiry that made him see some signs, or that he noticed some clues from the beginning.

This guy is rough on the outside, but on the inside it's not as simple as it seems!

......
