Chapter 20: Assassination

In the Juyi Hall, the children of the Yunzhou nobles headed by Murong Ke collectively attacked Shi Le! They judged Shi Le's net worth and status, and described Shi Le as a brazen liar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, Murong Yan recovered from her grief and shouted to Murong Ke and the others: "Shut up! Shut up! I am here today to announce that Shi Le is my person! If any of you disrespect him, you will insult me, and I will not spare it!" and then took Shi Le's hand and walked out of the righteous hall.

Shi Le and Murong Yan walked side by side in the corridor of the Yellow Crane Tower, and saw the leader of the Eagle Wolf Guard swaggering towards them. The commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard was determined to die, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was full of murderous energy. "Danger!" Murong Yan saw that the situation was not good, and actually took the first step in front of Shi Le. "Don't!" shouted Scheller.

"Qiang-" Eagle Wolf Guard's standard war knife came out of its sheath and stabbed in front of Murong Yan's lower abdomen in the blink of an eye. Murong Yan couldn't dodge and scolded, "You dare?"

But the Commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard was already red-eyed, and a killing move he used with all his might left no room for maneuver at all.

"Whoosh-" Shi Le quickly stretched out his hand to bypass Murong Yan's waist, and grabbed the tip of the Eagle Wolf Guard's sword with his bare hands at the last moment. The Eagle Wolf Guard Commander held the hilt of the sword with both hands, leaned forward to press the battle knife, arched his front leg and kicked his back leg to push the war knife forward with force! Shi Le stood unsteady, and with the other arm, he held Murong Yan and took seven or eight steps back before stopping. He took advantage of the exhaustion of the Eagle Wolf Guard's strength, turned Murong Yan behind him sideways and said, "Remember to always stand behind me when there is danger in the future!" Then Shi Le turned around and grabbed the hand of the war knife and pulled it hard, pulling the Eagle Wolf Guard Commander to his side, and the other hand punched him in the throat and collarbone. "Smack!"

The fragile collarbone shattered, and the Eagle Wolf Guard Commander had a mouth full of blood. "Smack!" Shile punched the Eaglewolf Guard Commander in the chin again. The punch knocked out half of his teeth and shattered his jaw bone.

"Bang! Bang!" Shi Le struck the bridge of the nose of the Eagle Wolf Guard commander with a single fist. The face of the Eagle Wolf Guard Commander was completely crippled! Shi Le let go of the Eagle Wolf Guard's war knife and raised his leg to kick the root between his legs. The Commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard fell to his knees in excruciating pain, and it was only then that he completely lost his combat power.

"Dare to assassinate the county lord, quickly say that he was instructed by someone!" Shi Le asked angrily. At this time, the Yunzhou talents in the Juyi Hall also walked out and crowded into the corridor to see what was happening.

When the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard saw that the mission had failed, he knew that there was absolutely no chance of survival, so he stabbed himself in the heart.

Shi Le wanted to stop it or was one step away, and now he wanted to blame the master of the prince of Liangzhou and had no proof of it. In a fit of rage, he grabbed the corpse of the Eagle Wolf Guard Commander and threw it downstairs. In front of the Yellow Crane Tower, Ning Lu sat in the carriage and confidently waited for the news that Shi Le had been killed. He even wanted to see Murong Yan sadly coming out of the Yellow Crane Tower. "Bang-" A loud bang shattered his dream. The corpse of the Eagle Wolf Guard Commander smashed into the carriage in which Ning Lu was riding, smashing the luxurious carport to pieces. Ning Lu sat in a daze, on the flatbed carriage, holding the corpse of the Eagle Wolf Guard in his arms, and the two horses pulling the cart were frightened and neighed and fluttered up and down. Several eagle wolf guards tried their best to control the horses and not move, and finally felt that it was too difficult to appease the frightened horses, so they drew their swords and killed the two horses.

Seeing that his horse had been stabbed to death, and there was no noise around him, Ning Lu threw the corpse of the leader of the Eagle Wolf Guard on the ground at random, and then picked up his saber and jumped off the carriage and rushed into the Yellow Crane Tower. Dozens of eagle wolf guards unsheathed their long knives and followed. The warrior monk headed by Hongluo Temple said to the senior brothers: "When leaving Liangzhou, Shakyamuni entrusted the safety of His Highness to us, so we must protect His Highness's safety even if we are broken to pieces! If there is any change later, we will immediately form a Vajra Demon Formation to escort His Highness to leave first!" Several senior brothers of Hongluo Temple nodded together.

Murong Yan was not shocked when she learned that Ning Lu came up angrily, and immediately ordered Murong Ke and the others to return to the Juyi Hall and sit back in their original positions. When Ning Lu came to the Juyi Hall, he saw Murong Yan and Murong Ke and Murong Feng from Yunzhou all sitting in place waiting for his arrival. More than thirty eagle wolf guards also came behind Ning Lu and showed their battle swords in unison, waiting for Ning Lu's order.

In front of the middle hall, Murong Yan sat casually next to the incense case, and Shi Le stood behind her.

Ning Lu first accused the people of Yunzhou of killing his Eagle Wolf Guard for no reason, and asked Murong Yan to hand over the murderer and punish him severely. He even threatened the exchange of troops between the two states, which made the talents of Yunzhou panic. Because in terms of the comprehensive combat power index of soldiers, Liangzhou is much higher than Yunzhou. Murong Yan didn't care about Ning Lu's troubles, and reversed black and white, because messing around was originally their innate talent as women. She immediately talked eloquently, moving with emotion and reasoning, citing the facts, and describing the story of the Eagle Wolf Guard Commander who almost killed her vividly and lively, and Ning Lu, who listened to it, was shy. In the end, Murong Yan concluded that the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard was bribed by a third-party force and wanted to assassinate her and provoke a dispute between the two states, but fortunately, Shi Le saw through his trick and saved her. As for Ning Lu, although he is not the mastermind, he cannot shirk the responsibility for negligence. Ning Lu felt that there was no way to argue, so he repeated his skills and challenged the strongest people present to regain his dignity.

Murong Ke and the others had been defeated by Ning Lu before, and now they all lowered their heads and said nothing. Shi Le saw that everyone was cowering, so he had to stand up and stand in front of Murong Yan.

Ning Lu was still quite confident in his martial arts, and he couldn't wait to fight Shi Le. Because of his dignity, he decided that Shile would not dare to hurt him seriously, and he had already made up his mind that if Shile was at a disadvantage, he would kill him.

Of course, Shi Le would not let Ning Lu lead him by the nose, and immediately offered to use grain worth 100,000 taels of gold as a bet. Ning Lu naturally refused, Shi Le did not force it, and also proposed that if he and Ning Lu fought fairly, then no matter what the result was, Ning Lu would immediately transport the grain to Yunzhou. Ning Lu still demanded to see the gold immediately before ordering the grain transport team to enter Yunzhou. He originally thought that he could rely on this point to win the talents of Yunzhou, but unexpectedly, Shi Le was really eye-opening.

It turned out that not long ago, the 100,000 taels of gold he had asked Qianying to mobilize had been transported into Yunzhou City. Shi Le directly ordered people to put a total of 100 boxes of gold in one box for every 1,000 taels in front of the door of the Yellow Crane Tower, and then opened them one by one. In an instant, the golden light almost blinded everyone's eyes. The Yellow Crane Tower is located in a busy section, and even if the Eagle Wolf Guard imposes martial law, it cannot completely isolate the flow of people on the street. Such a large amount of gold piled up together immediately caused a commotion. Murong Ke raised the name of the Yunzhou Royal Mansion at a critical moment, and only then did he calm the scene slightly. He immediately sent people back to send the Praetorian Guards to guard them, and finally dispersed the crowd of onlookers.

The people in the righteous hall also came downstairs, and they were all shocked by the yellow gold!

Murong Yan stood on the street and looked at Shi Le and asked, "Who are you, and how many surprises will it bring me!"

Shi Le smiled, and said to Ning Lu without bothering to explain to Murong Yan: "One hundred thousand taels of gold is here, and it is all yours now." Please immediately give the order for the grain transport team to enter Yunzhou!"

Ning Lu looked at the hundreds of boxes of gold and looked a little surprised. He quibbled: "The order is just as simple as me saying a word, it is better for you to fight with me first." ”

Shi Le smiled contemptuously and said, "You better give the order first, otherwise I won't fight you!"

Ning Lu couldn't resist Shi Le, so he had to send an order to the grain transportation team that stayed at the border of Yunzhou to enter Yunzhou immediately and hand over the grain to the border guards in Yunzhou. Seeing Ning Lu's herald go away, Shi Le said to Ning Lu, "It's time to start!"

Ning Lu smiled hideously: "Now you can finally look at it! Just now, you kept begging me to transport grain across the border, because you were afraid that I would regret it after I killed you?"

"Wrong!" said Schle, "I'm afraid that once I do it, you'll never have a chance to give any orders again!"
