Chapter Ninety-Nine: Assassination in the Night

Previous Chapter

When I returned to the Han Palace, it was already dusk. Seeing Du Chongxiao's return, Qin Zheng was very happy, and hurriedly said: "The master hasn't eaten yet, I have ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and I will definitely toast three glasses in a row later, congratulations to the master!"

During dinner, Qin Zheng really toasted Du Chongxiao three glasses of wine in a row. His Highness the Fourteenth seemed to be in a very good mood, and the wine was dry, and his eyes were drunk and hazy after a while. Seeing that he was very drunk, he still kept drinking, and after drinking two more glasses in a row, he laughed and said: "There is a real person who protects the country of Great Qin as my master, but who else dares to bully me?"

"Who dares?" Qin Zheng asked the servant who poured wine with his red eyes open.

"No, don't dare!" the slave was cold enough to eat Qin Zheng's drink, his frightened hands trembled, and he immediately poured the wine on the table.

"Useless dog minion, get out!" Qin Zheng picked up the wine glass and threw it on the slave.

"Your Highness is angry, the little one should die, the little one should die!" the servant crawled out of the room as he confessed.

Qin Zheng was drunk, shook twice, and finally lay on the table, still muttering in his mouth: "Master, one day you will become a Taifu ......!"

Du Chongxiao's heart was shocked, and when he looked carefully, he saw that Qin Zheng had already fallen asleep.

Personally helped Qin Zheng to the bedroom, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt, Du Chongxiao sighed lightly, turned around and walked out of the door.

Returning to the room where he lived, closing the doors and windows, Du Chongxiao stretched out his right hand, and saw a flash of black light, and the stick made of Dinghaishen iron had fallen in the palm of his hand. He had long wanted to take out the Shentie and fiddle with it, but he had all the uncles and uncles in the palace by his side for several days. I didn't dare to expose Shentie easily, so I had to wait until tonight to get the opportunity.

Feel the power of the Divine Iron. Du Chongxiao's face showed a look of amazement. He seemed to have a feeling that as long as this stick was in his hand, he could stab the blue and fall, insert the yellow spring down, and turn the earth upside down!

It's just that this divine iron is so eye-catching, especially the nine golden dragon patterns on it, which are even more eye-catching, if you want to use it in the future, it is difficult to ensure that it will not reveal flaws.

When I am distressed. Suddenly, the voice of the silver dragon came from his ears: "Senior brother, can you use your mind to change it?"

Du Chongxiao's heart moved slightly, and he remembered the appearance of Wukong's stick in his mind, but when he saw the light flash, the divine iron in his hand had already turned into a brass stick. After a closer look, it was exactly the same as Wukong's stick, and he was immediately overjoyed. After dancing twice, the whole house shook with it. hurriedly withdrew his hand, only hated that there was no suitable opponent around, and asked him to try the newly acquired weapon.

Fiddling with the divine iron over and over again, Du Chongxiao's childlike heart suddenly rose, and his mind moved again. I saw that the Wukong stick had turned into a spear. After using his mind three or two times like this, he saw that Shentie suddenly turned into a giant axe, suddenly into a long knife, suddenly into a Fang Tian painting halberd, and finally changed back into the shape of a Wukong stick.

"What a good baby!" Du Chongxiao couldn't help but blurt out. This divine iron changes with thoughts. Wishful thinking.

"This divine iron is born from the iron spirit of the underground of Kyushu, and it is extremely violent. I didn't expect to recognize my senior brother as the master, my senior brother is really good!" Yinlong's tone was full of envy. Although his memory is gone, his insight is still there, and he recognizes the origin of this divine iron.

Du Chongxiao smiled, he first got the Tianhe diagram and spirit rune in the Xuanwu statue, and then obtained this divine iron in the East China Sea, this trip can be described as quite rich.

"There is a thief!" Suddenly, the silver dragon's voice turned fierce.

"Where?" Du Chongxiao suddenly changed color, Yinlong said 'there are thieves' instead of 'people', which means that there are people outside the Han Palace's mansion who sneak in, and coming at night must be a bad intention.

In the night sky, dark clouds obscured the moon. Two figures quietly infiltrated the palace. The guards of the Han Palace's palace were thin and full of loopholes, so the two assassins found Qin Zheng's residence without much difficulty.

Silently swimming to the window against the wall. The black sword in his hand did not see a trace of light, and it cut the window lattice like cutting tofu, and a black shadow suddenly jumped in, while the other watched and guarded the surroundings.

A bang woke up the silent Han Palace. When the black-clothed man who jumped into the room first had not yet touched the ground, he felt a violent murderous aura rushing towards him. There is an ambush! The black-clothed man was shocked, but he did not panic, and the black sword in his hand vibrated countless sword shadows in front of him, and at the same time his body rolled to the side.

With a clang, the sword broke. With a bang, the bones shattered. Then there was a loud bang, and the entire wall was crumbled by the fierce force.

The black shadow lying in ambush outside the wall felt a strong force coming, and hurriedly retreated, but his head, face and chest were already hurt by the broken stones. A lifeless corpse flew out and landed at the shadow's feet with a thud.

The black shadow only felt a cool breath rising from the soles of his feet and rushing straight to his head, and Feng Ji, who was at the peak of his cultivation and whose strength was not below him, was actually killed in one look! What kind of terrible big man is hidden in this room?

Could it be that the newly sealed Protector True Person? However, they had already received detailed information, and that young Protector True Person had only just entered the Insight Cultivation Realm, so it was impossible for him to have such a skill!

Before he had time to think about it, the black shadow immediately cast a nocturnal technique, and the whole person merged with the darkness and flew towards the high wall of the palace.

Du Chongxiao's eyes were clear, but he didn't dare to chase after him for fear of falling into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Just wait for the palace guards to follow the sound and illuminate the surroundings brightly.

Seeing the black-clothed man on the ground, the guards of the royal palace still didn't understand what was going on, and hurriedly bowed their heads one by one to ask for guilt, and shouted in unison: "The subordinates are not effective in guarding, please punish Your Highness!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng did not have the slightest anger on his face, but said lightly: "The thief's cultivation is strong, and it is understandable that you don't notice it, but this time it is fortunate that this king's master is here, so that this king can avoid the disaster of killing, so what about next time?"

Two guards knelt on the ground with their hands on their hands, saying that 'their subordinates deserve death for their dereliction of duty'. Both of them were palace guards sent by the emperor to protect the King of Han, and both had the realm of the pinnacle of insight cultivation, but they didn't notice that an assassin had infiltrated, and if they were investigated, they would be unable to escape the guilt!

"Get up, this king doesn't blame you!I just hope that you can be more careful, this king is young, and he doesn't want to die so early!" Qin Zheng sighed, turned around and went to the palace guest room with Du Chongxiao.

Back in the room, Qin Zheng knelt on his knees, his eyes were shining with tears, and he cried and thanked: "Disciple Xie Master for saving his life, if there is no master today, the disciple will not be able to escape the poison!" For a while, the twelve-year-old prince showed helplessness, and the strength and indifference he had just pretended to be in front of everyone had long since disappeared!

"Hurry up!" Du Chongxiao stretched out his hand to help the other party up, and sighed secretly in his heart, probably except for him, this little prince has no one to rely on! And the most suspicious is the current prince!

At this moment, two guards walked in, and after saluting Qin Zheng and Du Chongxiao, Fang presented a waist card with both hands, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, real person, this is from the assassin's body, please take a look!"

Qin Zheng took the waist card, only glanced at it, and couldn't help but suddenly change color, and then threw it to the ground, his eyes were about to split: "Qin Zhi with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, I am inseparable from you!"

On the ground, an apricot yellow waist card is particularly eye-catching, engraved with five dragon ornaments, which is undoubtedly from the East Palace.

On the second day, this East Palace waist card was placed on the palace dragon case.

Emperor Qin's face sank like water, looking at the fourteenth son who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were red, and his heart was full of pity. This child has been living in the rivers and lakes with his mother since he was a child, and he has never been stable for a day, and he has been cold-eyed everywhere when he entered the palace, and now he has been pushed to the cusp because of the auspicious things that fell from the sky, and he was almost killed last night.

"Zheng'er, get up quickly, my father will definitely make the decision for you in this matter!" stepped forward to help Qin Zheng up, and Emperor Qin said in a soft voice.

"Father, why do they treat me like this, just because I am a motherless child......" Qin Zheng couldn't help but throw himself into Emperor Qin's arms and cry loudly.

"Zheng'er doesn't cry, my father knows that you have been wronged!" Emperor Qin stroked the back of his fourteenth son with his hand, and tears were already flashing in his eyes. The more he felt that his limit had come, the more Emperor Qin felt that his state of mind was weak, and he was actually provoked by the cry of the fourteenth son. I suddenly remembered in my heart, should I take care of Qin Zheng to a certain concubine?

He comforted Qin Zheng with kind words, and sent eight more guards to escort Qin Zheng back. Emperor Qin wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then spoke: "The prince is here to see me!"

"Holy Lord!" Chief Wei responded and bowed down and said, "Forgive the slave and maid for saying too much, this matter is very strange!"

"I know!" Emperor Qin nodded: "Since it is an assassination, how can there be a reason not to be prepared for a mistake." How could he wear the belt on his body?, but perhaps the Assassin knew that the Zheng'er Palace's palace was not well guarded, so it made sense to be arrogant and negligent!"

"The slave maid thinks that in front of the Son of Heaven, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not do such an unwise thing!" Wei Qianzhong continued.

"I don't think he dare!" Emperor Qin glanced at Wei Qianzhong and said with a smile: "Listen to what you mean, if you are not in front of me, then it will be another matter, right?"

"The slave and maid are speechless, please punish the saint!" Wei Qianzhong hurriedly knelt down and pleaded.

"Get up!" Emperor Qin waved his hand and sighed for a long time: "Even if this matter is not his doing, it does not necessarily mean that he has no intention, I just took this opportunity to beat and warn him!"

"The saint is wise! The slave will pass it on!" Wei Qianzhong suddenly understood the emperor's thoughts.

On this side, Qin Zheng, the fourteenth prince, came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, bowed to Du Chongxiao, who had been waiting for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Master, I bother you to find a chance to meet the queen, just say what happened last time, I agreed!"

Du Chongxiao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and only said after a while: "Have you really thought about it?"

"Think about it!" Qin Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the things that hurt me last night, it would be fine, and now that others have bad intentions, how can I sit still and wait for death?
