Chapter 120: Ten Steps to One Murder (1)

Zixiang Pavilion is still open as normal as usual. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's just that, unlike usual, at this moment, on the top of the Purple Fragrance Pavilion, there is an extra person who no one has noticed.

Yuan Qi crouched on the roof of the Zixiang Pavilion, like a huge gecko, not moving, not even breathing, only those smart and deep eyes, from time to time glanced at the street.

After a night of investigation, Yuan Qi had already determined the route of Dong Meng's early dynasty. Dong Meng likes to be lively and likes to put on a show, so every time he goes to the court, he has to pass through the most prosperous part of the capital, and every time he passes, he will make a big splash and hug him, for fear that some people will not know that this is the same as the car of Dong Taishi in the court. Perhaps, this has something to do with Dong Meng's background. Dong Meng is just a martial artist, not from a wealthy family, and he did not have a prominent reputation before, but now he has mastered the government, so that all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have to look up to him, and the sense of superiority in his heart is bursting, and even the pomp and circumstance are bigger.

Yuan Qi detected that every morning in the morning, Dong Meng would pass through this prosperous area, and there were about thousands of guards before and after. Therefore, the assassination location locked by Yuan Qi was in front of this Purple Fragrance Pavilion. Because Zixiang Pavilion is located in the downtown area, it is surrounded by pedestrians and vendors selling all kinds of things pushing carts, which is convenient for Yuan Qi's assassination and hiding, once Yuan Qi's assassination succeeds or fails, he can quickly get out of the battlefield and not be trapped and killed by Dong Meng's subordinates.

Of course, because this assassination operation is very important, whether it succeeds or fails, it will inevitably cause an uproar, so Yuan Qi quietly came to the top of the Purple Fragrance Pavilion and did not let anyone know. Even Wang Mi, the senior uncle who lived in the Purple Fragrance Pavilion, didn't know. It's not that Yuan Qi is afraid of Wang Mi and others telling him, but he is afraid of dragging Wang Mi down.

Time passed little by little, and as time passed, the early dynasty should have ended, and Yuan Qi guessed that Dong Meng would soon appear in his sight. A group of brightly armored sergeants came over with great force, and while opening the way, they used their weapons to drive away the street vendors selling goods. Looking at the unique dress of this team of sergeants, it is exactly the style of the Xiliang Army. The sergeants of the Xiliang army were not accustomed to wearing helmets, but tied the tail hair of wolf tails or other fierce beasts on their foreheads to show the martial courage of the Xiliang people. In the past few days, every time Dong Meng went down to the early court, such a situation would happen again. The nearby hawkers gradually got used to it, and as soon as they saw the specially dressed sergeant of the Xiliang Army coming, they would immediately retreat to the side.

The sergeants of the Xiliang Army did not force these hawkers to move the cars, and it seemed that the two sides had formed a tacit understanding invisibly, as long as people did not approach. Moreover, there are many people in the Xiliang army, and in the process of driving away the vendors, they can easily grab a handful of their cars, grab the goods they like in the car and stuff them into their arms. Those hawkers dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and they had to put on a very happy appearance to please the Xiliang Army, for fear that the sharp swords of the Xiliang Army would fall on their necks.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Qi pursed the corners of his lips silently. Take a peek and see the whole leopard, you can imagine how these Xiliang soldiers usually act for the tiger and oppress the good.

With the sound of gongs and drums, Dong Meng's car had already come, under the purple canopy, the obese Dong Meng was sitting in the carriage in court clothes, his nostrils were eager to rise to the sky, through Dong Meng's dress, Yuan Qi guessed how arrogant Dong Meng was on weekdays. The purple canopy is the most noble color in addition to the bright yellow of the Son of Heaven, and the purple canopy can be used to ride the car, which shows that Dong Meng's status at this time is so prominent; and the court dress that shrouds Dong Meng's fat body is actually special, Yuan Qi has never seen this style and pattern of court clothes before, I think it must be Dong Meng after he was appointed as the Taishi, and ordered people to rush to make it, all of which show Dong Meng's prominent status at the moment. Of course, this kind of prominence was captured by Dong Meng by force.

Thirty steps...... Twenty Steps...... Ten Steps...... Five-step ......

When Dong Meng's car came to the front of the Zixiang Pavilion, Yuan Qi suddenly stood up on the top of the building, and then jumped down. This is the calculated distance from Yuanqi. Zixiang Pavilion is three stories high, about four or five zhang from the ground, when Dong Meng's car passed by, Yuan Qi just landed on the car. Although Yuan Qi did not deliberately practice light martial arts, his long years of martial arts practice made Yuan Qi's physical fitness extremely good, and his flexibility was also very good, which could ensure that he would not be injured due to the shock force after falling from a high altitude.

As if a divine soldier descended from the sky, Yuan Qi drew the Red Sky Divine Sword in mid-air, and then slashed down hard, Dong Meng's car was just as Yuan Qi calculated, just passing under Yuan Qi's feet, and the purple canopy was split by Yuan Qi's sword, and he went down.

Dong Meng is also a martial artist, although he doesn't necessarily know how profound his martial arts are, in a panic, Dong Meng made his first reaction and moved his fat body slightly to the left. It was this move that allowed Dong Meng to escape under Yuan Qi's sword.

After Yuan Qi landed on the carriage, without any hesitation or delay, the Red Sky Divine Sword in his hand stabbed towards Dong Meng's heart like lightning. Perhaps it was because the sky did not follow people's expectations, Dong Meng's subconscious dodge action just avoided the vital point of the heart, so that Yuan Qi's inevitable sword pierced through Dong Meng's heart.

Dong Meng's body was pierced through his chest by the Red Sky Divine Sword, and the severe pain stimulated all his survival instincts, and the potential of his body was infinitely stimulated. Stretching out his left hand, Dong Meng grabbed the blade of the Chitian Divine Sword with his left hand, even if the palm of his hand was cut by the sharp blade, he didn't dare to let go.

Yuan Qi's sword failed to stab Dong Meng to death, and the Chitian Divine Sword in his hand was strengthened again, ready to flip the blade and twist Dong Meng's internal organs.

"There are assassins - protect the Taishi!" Li Ru, who had been riding a horse and following Dong Meng's side, was the first to react. Dong Meng's protection of himself can be said to be strict, but no one expected that the assassin would fall from the sky, which surprised everyone, so that most people were still in a daze, not understanding what was going on, until they heard Li Ru's shout, they acted in a panic, and rushed towards Dong Meng's car with weapons.

After shouting, Li Ru took a closer look at the situation on the car in a panic, and saw that a crimson long sword had pierced Dong Meng's chest, but fortunately it did not pierce the heart, Dong Meng still had the strength to grab the blade with his left hand and prevent the blade from continuing to pierce in. Even so, the clothes on Dong Meng's chest had been stained red by the blood that had flowed from his wounds, and if he delayed for a while, he was afraid that he would be in danger of dying from excessive blood loss. In a hurry, Li Ru was in a hurry, raised the whip in his hand, and whipped it on the head of the horse pulling the cart.

Dong Meng used eight Xiliang horses to pull the cart, one of the horses was whipped by Li Ru, and ran forward in pain, Yuan Qi was caught off guard, his body couldn't help shaking a few times, and the Chitian Divine Sword in his hand also lost its strength with Yuan Qi's shaking, and cut off three fingers of Dong Meng's left hand with a bang, and then cut a deep wound on Dong Meng's body.

Danger can often make people move quickly. In the face of the death-like Yuan Qi, Dong Meng's fat body burst out with super explosive power, taking advantage of the bumps of the carriage's shaking, Dong Meng's feet were a little on the carriage, and he pushed his body back out with the force, fell to the back of the carriage, and then rolled on the spot, and bounced off the ground like a spring, his actions were keen, as if the fat body did not have the slightest resistance.

Seeing Dong Meng jump out of the carriage, Yuan Qi quickly stabilized his figure, and also jumped down, raised the Red Sky Divine Sword in his hand, and slashed at Dong Meng's back with all his might.

Dong Meng, who stood up, heard the movement behind him and knew that the assassin would never let him go easily, so he shook off his two short thighs and ran forward two steps with all his might. It was the distance of these two steps that allowed Dong Meng to escape from Yuan Qi's sword again, avoiding the fate of being split in half by Yuan Qi's sword. Although he escaped with his life, injuries were inevitable, and the Red Sky Divine Sword whistled with the sound of the wind, slashing from the back of Dong Meng's neck to his hips, leaving a straight sword mark on Dong Meng's back.

Seeing Dong Meng escape under his sword again, Yuan Qi threw off his footsteps and chased after Dong Meng. However, after a series of shocking changes before, the sergeants under Dong Meng had already reacted completely, and they all roared and handed out their weapons to Yuan Qi.

More than a dozen spears stabbed in front of Yuan Qi's eyes in an instant, blocking Yuan Qi's continued pursuit of Dong Meng's footsteps. Yuan Qi shouted angrily, the Chitian Divine Sword in his hand suddenly fell, drawing a Taiji-shaped arc in the air, relying on his unparalleled strength and the sharpness of the Chitian Divine Sword, Yuan Qi cut off all the weapons that stabbed at him with a sword, and then the right hand holding the Chitian Divine Sword was as fast as lightning to the side, and the bodies of seven or eight Xiliang soldiers were suddenly cut into two sections by Yuan Qi's sword, and the colorful internal organs tumbled and flowed all over the ground.

Xiliang is remote, Han, Qiang, Hu and other ethnic groups live together, coupled with the long-term invasion of the Xin barbarians in the north, developed the fierce character of the Xiliang soldiers. Yuan Qi's sword, not only did not deter the Xiliang warriors, but completely angered them. A large number of Xiliang warriors roared angrily, raising their weapons and slashing at Yuan Qi, in their opinion, only with Yuan Qi's blood can their bravery be demonstrated. One person, one sword, dare to come and kill, so that seven or eight companions die without a whole body, if you can't kill the assassin in front of you, how will the Xiliang warriors mix in the future?
