Chapter Ninety-Eight: Walk to the Stage

"Haha, the national teacher is really clever, King Ning, and you two juniors, I see who else can save you this time. After Yi Jiannan appeared, he laughed wildly, as if in his eyes, King Ning, Deng Hong, and Wan Tianhua were undoubtedly dead.

"You won't succeed! Unless you step over Wan's corpse, don't want to hurt a single hair of the prince. Wan Tianhua suddenly stopped in front of King Ning, facing Yi Jiannan and glaring angrily, the reason why he had such great courage was because Wan Zhongqiu had already told him before he left that there would be an assassin in a short time, and this assassin was also a helper invited by the Wan family.

"This kid is really like acting, if I were King Naning, I would never see a flaw, only the part of being played. is worthy of being the son of Wan Zhongjian, inheriting his insidious and cunning skills, fortunately he can't cultivate immortals, if he inherits the head of the Wan family in the future, the situation of my Wei and Yi families is probably even more difficult than now. Yi Jianyan saw that Wan Tianhua was impassioned and looked like a loyal protector, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of slander in his heart. However, he thought about it, and on the surface, he still had to work hard, and shouted in a low voice: "Boy, get out of the way!"

"No way!" Wan Tianhua said resolutely.

Deng Hong was surprised, completely forgetting the current situation, and the performance of Wan Tianhua at this moment was completely inconsistent with the impression formed by the other party in his mind, it was like a different person. He even had some doubts that this Wantianhua was stupid.

When King Ning saw Wan Tianhua suddenly stand up, where did he think of too many things, he was only moved in his heart, and all kinds of suspicions about Wan Tianhua in the past immediately diluted a lot.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless, your lives can't help it!" After giving Wan Tianhua enough time to perform, Yi Jiannan saw that a group of soldiers on the trestle was rushing over, unwilling to reveal his identity as a monk to more people, he swept Deng Hong with the afterglow of his eyes, sighed secretly in his heart, waved his hands continuously, and shot out two blue lights, shooting at Wan Tianhua and Deng Hong respectively.

Long after Yi Jianyan appeared, Deng Hong knew that it would be impossible to escape, he had seen the strength of the monk, and with his martial arts, it was impossible to escape. Like his father, he did not believe in the existence of immortals, until he met the injured Qin Hongling while fleeing.

Deng Hong clearly remembered that after he participated in the righteous army of the eldest son of the king of Beijing, at an important military meeting, a flying sword suddenly appeared, instantly taking the lives of several people, including the eldest son of the king of Beijing.

At this time, if Qin Hongling was present, Deng Hong could rest assured, but the other party had planned well and had already lured Qin Hongling away, and it was impossible for her to come back to save him immediately. Therefore, when the blue light flashed, he completely gave up resistance and subconsciously closed his eyes.

The previous experience appeared in Deng Hong's mind one by one. A strict father, a kind mother, a second brother like a big child, and a newlywed wife who has just passed the door and is about to be widowed, and, the lingering white dress and white dress......

Suddenly, Deng Hong only felt a cool breeze blowing in his chest, and a cold feeling that could pierce his soul spread throughout his body, and he couldn't help but shiver and opened his eyes strangely.

Deng Hong raised a trace of doubt, the scene in front of him was exactly the same as before closing his eyes, it was still on the pavilion near the lake, outside the pavilion, the team of soldiers in charge of guarding was quickly crossing the trestle bridge, and it was already approaching here.

Deng Hong only realized at this time that at some point, a jet-black light cluster appeared on his chest, and there was a bright and flickering short knife trapped in it, and the light cluster immediately shattered in a flash, and the short knife also turned into dust.

At the same time, two screams were heard in the other direction.

Deng Hong turned his head to look, only to see Wan Tianhua and King Ning, who were pierced by a short knife, obviously unable to survive. The strength of the short knife was so great that after passing through the bodies of the two of them, it happened to be nailed to a wooden pavilion pillar, leaving only a short handle on the outside.

At this moment, Wan Tianhua's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of fear.

As he lay dying, he never believed that he would lose his life, because Wan Zhongqiu had told him that the amulet in his hand could block the assassin's blow, but when he activated the jade talisman, he was forcibly interrupted by an eerie cold wind. The short knife shot by the assassin pierced his and Ning Wang's hearts without any hindrance.

Seeing the scene in the field, out of prior arrangement, Yi Jiannan's face hidden under the black scarf couldn't help but change suddenly, he looked around in horror, and then looked at the dead Wan Tianhua, and couldn't care about killing Deng Hong anymore, his body shot out and fled towards the lake.

Seeing the assassin leaving, Deng Hong didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help King Ning, took a breath, and his face immediately showed a deep sadness, King Ning is dead, once it is not well controlled, Yongning City will be in chaos, Wang Changshun and other forces will definitely take advantage of the chaos to invade.

At this time, the escort team of King Ning's Mansion had already rushed to the pavilion. Because the speed of the man in black was too fast, and he left the water, these soldiers wanted to chase after them, but they were all powerless. When they saw the ministers and officers in the field, and saw Ning Yu and Wan Tianhua who were covered in blood, they looked at each other one by one, not knowing what to do.

When Deng Hong saw this scene, he immediately had an idea in his heart, and quickly pulled out the waist knife of an unconscious officer, cut down the desk next to him, and shouted: "Whoever dares to leak the assassination of the prince will be killed!

The officer leading the team was a clever man who knew that things were irreparable. King Ning and Zuo Changshi are dead, and the most powerful person in Yongning City is probably this Right Changshi. He immediately called a few heralds to convey Deng Hong's orders everywhere.

Then, Deng Hong sent another soldier to ask for a medical officer. Although King Ning and Wan Tianhua are dead and cannot die again, it is more convincing for the medical officer to announce it. In addition, he could also take the opportunity to delay time and appease these guards who directly belonged to King Ning.

After doing this, Deng Hong woke up several officers who were sitting next to him one by one, these people had been working with him as early as the King of Beijing, and if they wanted to control Yongning City, they couldn't do without their support. Before leaving, Wan Zhongqiu didn't use any powerful spells, but just sealed the acupoints of these people, and as long as he massaged for a while, he could wake up.

After those people woke up, they were all surprised when they saw the scene in the pavilion, but they were all people who had been killed for a long time, and they were used to seeing blood, so they immediately distinguished the current situation, and without Deng Hong's orders, two people immediately left quickly and went back to gather troops.

When Deng Hong and others came to join King Ning, they brought a team, although the total number of people only accounted for one-fifth of the defenders of Yongning City, but they were disciplined and battle-hardened, and once something unexpected happened in Yongning City, it was enough to suppress King Ning's old department.

At the same time, King Ning's personal guard officer woke up his boss Zhou Dashi.

Zhou Dashi followed King Ning for the longest time, and the relationship between the two was also a servant and a friend, so when he saw King Ning who was already dead, he rushed up like crazy and cried loudly. After crying for a while, he suddenly stopped, stood up suddenly, and looked like a fierce beast that wanted to choose people, staring at Deng Hong, and said word by word: "Who instructed it!"

Deng Hong frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "There are two assassins, the first is a bait, and the second is responsible for assassination, and the later one claims to be from the National Teacher's Mansion. ”

Zhou Dashi stared at Deng Hong, with murderous intent looming on his face.

An officer who followed Deng Hong immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Zhou Dashi, what do you mean? If General Deng is the envoy, how can you still have your life now?"

Deng Hong looked calm, did not show the slightest panic, and said indifferently: "General Zhou must have misunderstood, the reason why he is safe and sound is because the assassin's target is the prince." As for Wan Changshi's death, he felt very ashamed, he was desperate to block in front of the prince, but unfortunately, the power of the flying knife was too great, not only Wan Changshi was not spared, but even the prince was ...... Alas, General Zhou is a man who practices martial arts, and he should be able to judge from his wounds. ”

After Deng Hong's reminder, Zhou Dashi hurriedly checked King Ning's wounds, and then checked Wan Tianhua's corpse, and his expression eased. At this time, the officer of the guard, who had arrived from behind, rolled his eyes a few times, walked a few quick steps to his side, and whispered a few words.

After listening to this, Zhou Dashi flattened King Ning's cold body, got up and said gloomily: "Zhou was in a hurry just now, and he was offended, and I hope General Deng will not be blamed." Now that the prince is gone, his son is young and not up to the task, and only General Deng can lead Yongning City. ”

Deng Hong said quietly: "General Zhou is too modest. The general has followed the prince for many years, and should inherit the will of the prince and unite the heroes of the world to get rid of Wang Changshun. ”

Zhou Dashi smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of role is in the next, I know very well in the next, as long as General Deng promises to treat the bereaved family of the prince well, and in the future he will lead the army to kill Wang Changshun and avenge the prince, I, Zhou Dashi, am willing to be the general's pawn and attack the city for the general." ”

Seeing this, several generals who followed Deng Hong secretly glanced at each other, and immediately shouted in unison: "General Deng doesn't have to refuse, we are willing to follow you to kill Wang Changshun!"

At this moment, some other Wenchen have also been woken up. Seeing the tragic death of King Ning and Wan Tianhua, they all panicked, but under the surveillance of the soldiers, no one dared to act rashly.

A small number of people who were loyal to King Ning, hearing Zhou Dashi's words, knew that Deng Hong's suspicion had been ruled out, and they all became hesitant, they got along with Deng Hong for many days, and knew that the other party was eloquent, several times stronger than King Ning, and was indeed the most suitable person to lead Yongning City.

As for most of the rest, that is, they are doing an errand in King Ning's Mansion, no matter who is in charge of Yongning City, the result is not much different, so naturally they will not object, and under the leadership of a few people who are good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, they said in unison: "We are willing to serve General Deng!"

Deng Hong no longer shirked, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "In this case, Deng Mou will not know how to raise if he refuses again." I hope that in the future, you can cooperate with Deng to develop and expand Yongning City, and strive to capture Changju City as soon as possible and get rid of Wang Changshun. ”
