Chapter 798: Collusion with the Hidden Capital, Night Visitors Continue
This is not just to say that the martial arts of the two sects are assassin martial arts, but more importantly, the style of the two sects is also the style of the assassins, both sects like to wear black clothes, because black can make them better integrate into the night, and the timing of their assassination is often chosen in the dark night, such as today's dozens of poor cicada dead soldiers actually attacked themselves in broad daylight, although they were wearing the clothes of the poor cicada dead soldiers, but Xuan Xuan had doubts about their true identity!
If these poor cicadas are not poor cicadas, but someone deliberately pretended to be ...... So what is their purpose? Take a step back and say that even if these poor cicadas are true, what are the factors that drive them to assassinate themselves in broad daylight? These are all questions that do not make sense, but one thing is very clear that no matter what their purpose is, it will not do them any good!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, Xuan Xuan retracted his thoughts and got up to open the door, as soon as the door opened, he was greeted by a middle-aged man in Xuan Xuan's eyes, this man had two mustaches, wearing a purple brocade robe, looking quite majestic, two rows of guards behind him followed, Xuan Xuan could see that each of these people was a master, although it was nothing to him, but if it was put in the wilderness, it was enough to create a big reputation, and if he could have these masters as guards, it seemed that this person's status was not low!
"Dare to ask if Zun Jia is ......" Xuan Xuan looked at the middle-aged man and asked, a few names flashed in his heart at this time, but then he was vetoed by Xuan Xuan one by one, and suddenly Xuan fantasized about a person, no matter in terms of age or identity, this person is very consistent with the person in front of him, Xuan Xuan said: "Zun Jia is the fourth son of the first emperor Xia Qi, the younger brother of His Majesty Taikang today, the prince of Zhongkang...... Right?"
"I've heard people say that the 'Streamer Sword' Xuan Fantasy is very smart, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, and it's not bad that this king is Zhong Kang!" Zhong Kang said approvingly, but he didn't know that Xuan Xuan was sneering in his heart, Xuan Xuan originally suspected that the assassination during the day was instigated by Zhong Kang, but he had no evidence, but now it seems that it is indeed Zhong Kang, he was assassinated on the long street during the day, and Zhong Kang couldn't wait to visit at night, although it can be explained as a thirst for talent, but it can also be explained as a door-to-door spying!
"The prince's visit is not welcome, it is really a crime of fantasy, and I invite the prince to sit in the house for a while, and let the fantasy tea to make amends!" Xuan Xuan said so, he put himself in a lower position, which made Zhong Kang very satisfied, to be honest, the assassination during the day was indeed done by Zhong Kang, and those so-called poor cicadas were also poor cicadas to pretend to be, his purpose was to test whether Xuan Xuan's strength was as strong as the legend, if not, it would not be a pity to die, if Xuan Xuan was really so powerful, he could also get the news as soon as possible and visit him, so as to leave a good impression on Xuan Xuan. 1,
Zhong Kang didn't know that his calculations had already been seen through by Xuan Xuan, but Xuan Xuan didn't break it, but welcomed Zhong Kang into the house, and the guards brought by Zhong Kang also wanted to enter the house, but Xuan Xuan said: "My house is not big, I can't fit so many people, and I ask the prince to let the guards wait outside the house." 1,”
"That's right, you just wait here!" Zhong Kang said to the guards, and then entered the house with Xuan Xuan, after Xuan Xuan entered the house, he closed the door of the house casually, and then pulled out the Seven Kills Sword and put it on Zhong Kang's neck, Zhong Kang was shocked when he saw this, he immediately understood that his calculation had been seen through by Xuan Xuan, but although Zhong Kang was panicked, he did not shout, but pretended to be calm and said to Xuan Xuan: "What are you doing here, do you know that assassinating the royal family is a crime of rebellion!"
"Of course I do!" Xuan Xuan said lightly, but although he said so, Xuan Xuan did not have the slightest tendency to put down the long sword in his hand, but instead put the Seven Killing Sword to Zhong Kang's throat, this time Zhong Kang didn't dare to make a sound, Xuan Xuan looked at the trembling heart and sighed, Zhong Kang's front and back table Xiàn The gap is too big, it can be seen that he is just a man with a low eye, if Zhong Kang is a generation of heroes who can not be in danger, maybe Xuan Xuan can help him regardless of his previous suspicions, but now it seems that he is also difficult to achieve great things, poor Xia Qi Although he is mediocre in his later years, he can also be called a hero, but his sons are more than one is not successful, the only one who became a weapon, Qiye was forced by him to take refuge in the hidden capital.
"The assassin during the day was sent by you!" Xuan Xuan asked expressionlessly, Zhong Kang's heart suddenly beat faster, he wanted to deny it, but looking at Xuan Xuan's expressionless face, Zhong Kang was scared, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and then nodded slowly, Xuan Xuan saw that he got the answer he wanted, so he slowly withdrew the Seven Killing Sword, and at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and three daggers suddenly stabbed out of the void, these three daggers pointed at the back of Xuan Xuan's head, back of the heart and back of the waist respectively, which was clearly to put Xuan Xuan to death!
"Hmph, you guys finally made a move!" Xuan Xuan snorted coldly, the Seven Killing Sword that had just been removed from Zhong Kang's throat did not return to its sheath, but slashed towards the empty place behind him under Xuan Xuan's manipulation, and the sound of three weapons handing over sounded almost at the same moment, followed by three crisp sounds of metal landing, Xuan Xuan slowly turned around, and at this time, three poor cicada dead men appeared in front of Xuan Xuan, and the three poor cicada dead men all covered their throats in disbelief, Xuan Xuan looked at the three people and smiled lightly: "You guys...... It's too weak!"
The three poor cicada dead soldiers died like this, Zhong Kang, who saw Xuan Fantasy at close range, only then did he understand how strong Xuan Fantasy was, although Zhong Kang's own strength was not high, but his eyesight was really not low, although Xuan Xuan Fang only made one sword, but that sword cut off the daggers of the three poor cicada dead soldiers and their throats at the same time, this is by no means the effect that can be achieved only by the sharpness of the sword and the speed of the shot, it also requires Xuan Xuan's extremely high control over swordsmanship, and when Xuan Xuan made his move, he was facing away from the three people, but his sword slashed through the throats of the three people without deviation, which shows that Xuan Xuan's perception ability is extremely strong, and this kind of combination is enough to see how terrible Xuan Xuan's swordsmanship is, Zhong Kang suddenly realized in his heart that he might be too hasty in calculating such a master!
"As the fourth prince of the dynasty, you actually colluded with the hidden capital!" Xuan Xuan looked at the three poor cicada dead soldiers who fell to the ground and said, Zhong Kang was silent when he heard this, he knew that once today's incident spread, he would definitely be ruined, although his identity as a prince may be able to save his life, but from now on he can only be an ordinary prince living under endless surveillance, thinking of this, Zhong Kang suddenly felt that his heart was light, what kind of throne competition is nothing more than this, he can't even do a little fantasy, and the fight for the throne may just be a way to die.
"Collusion with the Hidden Capital...... It's not that I want to collude with Youdu, but Youdu took the initiative to find me!" Zhong Kang said suddenly, Xuan Xuan couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but he didn't interrupt Zhong Kang, but let Zhong Kang continue, because Xuan Xuan also wanted to know why Youdu found Zhong Kang, although Zhong Kang's words were not lacking in fabrication, but Xuan Xuan didn't think that Zhong Kang at this time still had the leisure to make up lies.
"That must have been ten years ago," Zhongkang recalled...... "Ten years ago...... It should be that shortly after the end of the battle of Tianhe Pass, the hidden capital in the dynasty suddenly found me, and he said that the hidden capital was willing to support me to take the throne from Taikang, and if I ascended the throne one day, they would also be willing to worship me as the lord, and even those territories occupied by the hidden capital could be returned, and I was ...... as soon as my brain was hot."
"I agreed!" Xuan Xuan said, Zhong Kang nodded helplessly, Xuan Xuan immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter after Zhong Kang's explanation, although the battle of Tianhe Pass ten years ago was not a big loss, they had also realized that it was impossible to rule the entire Great Wilderness with strength alone, and among the territories occupied by the Youdu, the rebel army with the heart to the dynasty also had the appearance of becoming bigger, so the king of the Youdu would come up with a way to support Zhong Kang's ascension, but speaking of which, this method can really be regarded as the best of both worlds!
First, supporting Zhong Kang's ascension to the throne can skillfully avoid the tightly defended Tianhe Pass, and break the rule of the dynasty from the inside, not only greatly reducing the consumption of troops, but also reducing the difficulty of Cheng dù a lot, and Zhong Kang's strength is not strong, if there is no Youdu to help him, he can almost overthrow Taikang, so that Youdu can naturally take advantage of the situation to install a group of people under Zhong Kang's command, if Zhong Kang really ascends the throne one day, these people placed under Zhong Kang's command will also become a time bomb within the dynasty, as long as the king of Youdu has any ideas, it is not difficult for the dynasty's rule to collapse overnight!
Second, Zhong Kang is Xia Qi's biological son after all, and Taikang's younger brother, although he overthrew Taikang's throne is a bit unjustifiable, but for those rebel armies in the territory of Youdu, the dynasty ruled by Zhong Kang at that time will still be orthodox, and as long as Youdu is nominally under Zhong Kang's command, these rebel armies will naturally not continue to make trouble, and it will be easy for Youdu to clean them up, and Youdu will be under Zhong Kang's command, and it is really hard to say whose dynasty it will be at that time!
In this way, it is easy to explain why since the war ten years ago, although the Youdu has repeatedly committed borders, but the scale is not large, that is because the king of the Youdu has no intention of breaking through the Tianhe Pass at all, these armies are actually just cannon fodder sent to reassure the dynasty, if the Youdu suddenly has not attacked for several years, then the people of insight in the dynasty will definitely guess what conspiracy there is in the Youdu, and only in this way can the risk of exposure be minimized.
Xuan Xuan glanced at Zhong Kang lightly, and then put the sword into the sheath casually, he already fully understood Zhong Kang's character at this time, this is a person who is ambitious and a little capable but can't resist temptation, if such a person is a little altruistic, he may be able to restrain himself, but if the interests are big enough to a certain limit, then he will abandon a qiē for the sake of interests, and finally Xuan Xuan's evaluation of Zhong Kang is...... This is a prince who is more suitable to be a businessman, this kind of person does not pose much of a threat to himself, and it doesn't matter if he is killed or not.
"Let's go!" Xuan Xuan said lightly, and then turned around and stopped looking at Zhong Kang, at this time, Zhong Kang had gone through the change of Fang Cai, and his temperament had changed slightly, he saluted Xuan Xuan's back and then turned away, Zhong Kang didn't know that it was because of this salute he made Xuan Xuan re-score him in his heart, compared to the domineering Zhong Kang before, Zhong Kang at this time really had a chance to win the throne, but even so Xuan Xuan didn't intend to help him, after all, he was also a royalist in some ways.
This night is destined not to calm down with Zhong Kang's departure, not long after Zhong Kang took people away, someone knocked on Xuan Xuan's door again, Xuan Xuan suddenly frowned, because Xuan Xuan felt a strong momentum from outside the closed door, this momentum was like a sharp knife, Xuan Xuan immediately guessed who the person who came, if he didn't guess wrong, the person who came should be the old general Ding Yong, but the problem is ...... What is the old general Dingyong doing so late?
Xuan Xuan immediately got up and opened the door, only to see an old man with white hair and white beard standing at the door, although the old man was old, his face was ruddy and full of spirit, and he was obviously extremely strong in cultivation, Xuan Xuan immediately decided that he must be the old general Dingyong, Xuan Xuan immediately said: "Are you the old general Dingyong?"
"It's the old man!" Ding Yong smiled, he looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but admire, although Ding Yong did not participate in the battle ten years ago, but he heard about the deeds of Xuan Yu from his son Ding Yuan after the war, and he admired this witty young man Ding Yong very much, especially after hearing that Xuan Fantasy actually defeated the Big Three of Youdu one after another, Ding Yong even improved the position of Xuan Yong in his heart, although Xuan Xuan defeated Yu Jizi and others must have a trick, but he paid more attention to the result than Ding Yong, so he decided to come to meet this young man after hearing that Xuan Xuan entered Beijing, even if it was late at night, he could not stop Ding Yong's decision。
"Old general, please come in!" Xuan Xuan immediately welcomed Ding Yong into the house, unlike Zhong Kang, Ding Yong did not bring a guard here, after all, Ding Yong's strength is already at the top of the Great Wilderness, unless it is a strong person of the level of Jade Jizi, no one poses a threat to him, and the guards are of no use at all except for getting in the way, Ding Yong, who had just entered the house, saw the corpses of the three poor cicadas on the ground at a glance, and he couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"
Xuan Fantasy immediately gave Ding Yong an explanation of what happened before, and Ding Yong sighed after listening to it: "Although I already knew that Zhong Kang had ambitions for the throne, I really didn't expect him to collude with Youdu, he ...... How can he be worthy of the First Emperor by doing this!"
