Volume 1 The Heroes of the Capital Chapter 36 The Assassination Case That Caused a Sensation in the Capital
"Lu Chengfeng, you will definitely die today. ”
The female killer said that it was like Lu Chengfeng had killed her, although the other party's strength was not as strong as Lu Chengfeng, but Lu Chengfeng was almost at the end of his crossbow now.
Although the other party couldn't match him, it was still possible to block it, and by that time, Lu Chengfeng had already been caught up by the great cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm behind him.
Although Lu Chengfeng paused, he only hesitated for a while, and continued to take the rope in his hand to kill the other party, he had no choice now, he could only break through the opponent's interception with the strongest posture and the fastest speed.
Otherwise, before he returned to the Privy Council, he would have been buried at the hands of that great cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm.
Lu Chengfeng's dragon body method is certainly the top body method in the world, but what he is facing is a great cultivator of the foundation realm, and his speed is not slower than Lu Chengfeng, if it weren't for the fact that the other party is not good at speed, Lu Chengfeng is afraid that he will not have the slightest chance to escape at this moment.
The violent power released by Lu Chengfeng bombarded the body of the female killer, and immediately knocked the other party away.
However, the other party also succeeded in intercepting Lu Chengfeng for a while, and in just a few breaths, the great cultivator of the foundation building realm behind him had already caught up with Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng had to face a frontal attack from a great cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm at this moment, and if he wanted to get the slightest possibility of escaping, he had to make a quick decision and kill that great cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm in an instant.
At this critical moment, Lu Chengfeng retreated with the help of the collision with the female killer just now, and by inertia, he killed the great cultivator of the foundation building realm.
But Lu Chengfeng still far underestimated the strength of the other party, he hadn't killed the other party yet, the other party had already slapped a palm on his body, and the violent power made him fly out and smash a house down.
This man in black can be regarded as the most powerful enemy Lu Chengfeng has ever faced, at this moment Lu Chengfeng has a deep sense of powerlessness, he is often complacent with his unparalleled talent, but now he has been beaten by reality A very painful lesson, when facing a real strong, he is just a weak person.
In front of the strong, the so-called genius is just a piece of garbage, and a genius who has not become a strong man will always be a rookie.
This is the second time that Lu Chengfeng has been attacked by the other party, and the two attacks have already caused the power in Lu Chengfeng's body to be disordered, especially the two completely different forces, the collision everywhere in his body, the rejection reaction is becoming more and more intense, as if the two forces are fighting with his body as a battlefield, making him feel heart-rending pain, and at the same time, it has also caused great damage to his body.
This was the first time in Lu Chengfeng's life that he had been injured so seriously, even if he had cultivated the Cultivation Golden Lotus of the Buddha Sect, but under such a serious injury, he still couldn't recover quickly in a short period of time.
It wasn't the first time he'd been assassinated, but it was the worst of all, and there was little hope of escaping this one, at least on his own.
When facing a truly powerful enemy, no skills, exercises, or weapons can make up for the huge gap.
Lu Chengfeng was able to cross the huge gap between the Innate Realm and the Foundation Building Realm, and it was extremely difficult for him to escape from the hands of the great cultivators in the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm.
And now Lu Chengfeng is facing a more powerful enemy, and he is no longer at the peak of his previous state.
Lu Chengfeng had just crawled out of the ruins with difficulty, and the great cultivator on the opposite side instantly appeared in front of Lu Chengfeng and pointed at Lu Chengfeng's chest.
Lu Chengfeng was shocked at the moment and blocked him with his sword.
However, the opponent's finger contained extremely terrifying power, just like a sharp sword, directly hitting Lu Chengfeng's divine sword.
Although it was said that Lu Chengfeng avoided being pierced by the opponent's fingers, the great impact made the divine sword in his hand become his own shield when it also became a weapon to attack himself.
Lu Chengfeng had already heard the sound of his ribs being broken, the clothes on his body were broken, and he kept spitting blood in his mouth, obviously his internal organs had been greatly damaged.
Coupled with the conflict between the two exercises and forces in Lu Chengfeng's body, Lu Chengfeng's current situation is extremely bad, if he doesn't deal with it in time, his cultivation may be seriously damaged, or even fall.
Lu Chengfeng's heart was almost desperate, feeling that the great cultivator was getting closer and closer, he knew that his life was short.
And at this time, he found that there was a well next to him, and there was still a lot of water in it, Lu Chengfeng thought about it for a while, and jumped into it very decisively.
Instead of dying here for nothing, it's better to jump in and fight to the death.
Lu Chengfeng quickly sank from this well, but to his surprise, this well was not as shallow as he imagined, not only was it very deep, but there was also a large space under the well.
"Is this an underground river?"
Before Lu Chengfeng could fully react, he was swept away by a torrent.
He never imagined that he would escape in this way, the great cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm that he had originally pinned his hopes on in the Privy Council!
However, he also knew very well in his heart that he had already drunk that great cultivator, and although the other party was strong, it was also very difficult to come to his senses in such a short period of time.
Especially in that drink, the elixir that had to be purified by Lu Chengfeng, although the great cultivators of the Foundation Building Realm already possessed extremely terrifying powers, they were still mortal beings in the flesh after all, and they would still be affected by toxins.
The great cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm suddenly found that Lu Chengfeng's aura had disappeared, and hurriedly ran in, but there was no half of a human figure here except for a ruin.
"How unreasonable!"
The great cultivator broke the pillar beside him with a single punch, and then walked to the well.
"Lu Chengfeng, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, so you can escape. ”
What he didn't understand was that this was obviously just a well, even if Lu Chengfeng hid in the well, how could it disappear completely, and there was not even a trace of breath.
Don't?
Is there anything else in this well?
He didn't hesitate at all, and jumped down, and after swimming for a long time, he found that there was such a huge underground river deep underground, and for some reason, the water flow was extremely fast, and the terrain was complicated, and it was pitch black all around, and he could only go back.
In such a harsh environment, Lu Chengfeng was seriously injured again, and he was basically dead.
Whether it is death or not, whether it is for Lu Chengfeng or for the great cultivator of the foundation realm, he can resign himself to fate.
The next morning, the assassination of the Imperial Court from the second rank was known to all over Beijing, and the Vice-Chancellor, who had just taken office and had just been appointed by His Majesty, was assassinated in the streets of Kyoto.
This is what has caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and in the past two years, there have been assassinations of court officials, which has seriously threatened the safety of court officials and the majesty of the court.
This is a blatant provocation!
Emperor Liang is in the Xuanzheng Hall at the moment, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are here.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter must have a lot to do with the Thousand Mountains Pavilion, and only they have the ability to exclude the great cultivators of the Foundation Building Realm from lurking in the capital to assassinate them, and I am afraid that there are still people in this capital to receive them, otherwise why would it be so smooth. ”
Emperor Liang angrily slapped the dragon case, he hadn't been so angry for a long time, and court officials were assassinated for two consecutive years.
And this year, it is Lu Chengfeng, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, who is not only an official appointed by him personally, but also his son, even if he has no name, but what Lu Chengfeng has in his body is still his blood after all.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be strictly investigated in order to correct the majesty of our Great Liang Imperial Court......"
Although Emperor Liang was very angry at the court, he was indeed very angry.
He knew in his heart that there might be someone at the court meeting who was one of the real culprits behind the assassination of Lu Chengfeng.
The person who can lay out such a big situation in the capital must have extraordinary power, and it is very likely to be related to what happened to Bai Yu back then.
Originally, there would be no court meeting at the end of the year, and it was basically a big court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month, but I didn't expect such a huge thing to happen at this juncture.
The Criminal Department became busy all of a sudden, and Emperor Liang also knew that there was no way to completely find out anything by relying on the Criminal Department alone, and since the other party dared to assassinate Lu Chengfeng in the capital, he was already ready to be investigated by the Criminal Department.
Since this is the case, it must be impossible to leave any clues for people to grasp the handle, although in addition to the criminal department's superficial investigation, Emperor Liang also sent secret guards.
This is not only because Lu Chengfeng is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, not only because Lu Chengfeng is his son, but also because this matter is related to the face of the imperial court, and it is related to the face of his emperor.
No emperor could know that someone had assassinated his appointed official under his nose, let alone a Jindan Immortal with great ambitions like Emperor Liang.
Although Emperor Liang has locked several suspicious targets in the Xuanzheng Palace, he has never been able to determine which one it is, and there is not enough evidence.
Even as an emperor, he does not have the power to dispose of ministers at will, and he needs a sufficient evidence or excuse.
On the one hand, this is because of the reputation of being a generation of emperors, and on the other hand, it is to develop himself from the cabinet, and the supreme imperial power of the emperor is sometimes restricted, not to mention that there is now a party of the queen mother who is faintly fighting against herself.
The officials of the Privy Council also knew about this matter at the first time, and began to discuss countermeasures internally, especially Lu Chengfeng has not yet had any trace.
