Chapter 149 149,Assassination

Xiao Qiyu galloped away on horseback and left the city.

In November, all the leaves fall.

But there is a place outside the city, which is a green bamboo forest.

After passing the bamboo forest and going up the mountain, there is a temple with an old monk in the temple.

Whenever Xiao Qiyu was in a mood, he would come to the old monk to play chess, listen to him talk about Zen, sip tea together, and chat about the world.

Today, he just wanted to go and have a chat with the old monk.

Unexpectedly, just when passing through this bamboo forest, several killers flew out of the shadowy bamboo bush.

They wore masks with grimaces and the most ordinary civilian clothes, but they carried the sharpest weapons.

The sword will kill him.

"Who are you?"

After receiving the first wave of attacks, Xiao Qiyu, who was surrounded, glanced around with sharp eyes and shouted in a deep voice.

"The people who are sending you to see the King of Hell. Come on, set up a formation and send King Jing to his death..."

The man at the head was murderous and his tone was crazy, as if today would definitely be Xiao Qiyu's death.

There are nine killers in total, forming a killing formation.

Xiao Qiyu flew off his horse, grabbed the sword on his horse, drove away his snowy horse, and fought with them to the death.

This is a rare formation, which comes from ancient books of the previous dynasties. It can trap a top master in the formation, exhaust the person's physical strength in a short period of time, and finally die in the sword formation.

This formation is called: Dragon Slaying Formation.

There is a saying: when the dragon is flying, the magic power is limitless.

If a dragon enters this formation, it will be beheaded and killed. How can a mortal escape?

Unfortunately, just when Xiao Qiyu was in danger, another mysterious man suddenly appeared, holding a bamboo flute, and actually helped him fight off the enemy.

This man wore a cap, a hip flask, a full beard, and a mask on his face, but he was so absorbed in every move he made that he easily broke through their formation.

"Thank you, senior." He thanked him deeply.

But the man snorted: "You saved my disciple, I'm just returning a favor to you... Your people are here, please take your time and play with them, I'm going to go..."

The mysterious man quietly left again.

Xiao Qiyu was stunned for a moment, not sure who the disciple the man was talking about was.

At this moment, Asuo followed closely with his people and shouted from a distance: "Your Highness, we are here..."

Asuo led a group of guards and rushed over to join the battle.

In the end, they killed three killers, and the other six had their hands broken or were injured, and they fled in panic one by one.

In fact, Xiao Qiyu has been subject to various assassinations in the past few years. There are always people who want to kill him, but he can always turn danger into good fortune.

The people who assassinated him in the past had average skills, but today's killers all have good martial arts skills. They look like killers who have been trained for many years.

He was curious, who would want to kill him?

Prince?

That mediocre man can't possibly keep so many killers around him - raising killers requires a lot of property. The prince has no wealth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stupid enough to sell iron and stone to make money.

Father?

Although he doesn't like him and has always kept a group of hidden guards around him that are unknown to outsiders, the emperor will not kill him. If he wants to kill him, he must kill him openly. Besides, he is still useful now.

Queen?

The queen appears to be a well-informed harem master, but she has been worried that the prince's position as heir apparent will be taken away - among all the princes, he is the most capable. But the queen also has no money, so how can she raise a killer.

Besides, he didn't know who in the palace wanted his life.

Could he be the one who started the Yucheng Rebellion?

But who will it be?

Who is the one who saves himself?

In fact, the person who rescued him was none other than Mu Yunjiang's master Jiang Tian. Xiao Qiyu had never seen him before when he was in Beiling, so he couldn't guess his identity at all.

At this moment, Xiao Qiyu thought wildly for a while and couldn't think of the reason, so he picked up the weapon on the ground, checked its weight and color, and his face became increasingly ugly.

This kind of workmanship and quality should be made of iron and stone from the Armament Department.

These weapons, which could have been sharp blades in the hands of soldiers, now became murderous weapons that wanted to kill him.

"Let's go back to the house first. Asuo, please get Yan Wuhen to come and reply immediately. They have been keeping an eye on the Armament Department for more than a month. If there is anything gained, ask him to report immediately."

He thought this matter needed to be investigated thoroughly.

"yes."

Asuo asked one of his men to ask Yan Wuhen to reply, and he followed His Highness back to the city.

Half an hour later, they returned to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Just in time, a brand new plaque was sent from the palace. The four gilded characters "Jingbei Prince's Palace" replaced "Third Prince's Palace".

Asuo immediately had someone hang up the new plaque.

The father-in-law who presented the plaque smiled and introduced to Xiao Qiyu: "This is the inscription written by the emperor himself and was carved by craftsmen. Congratulations to King Jingbei for becoming the first prince beside the emperor to be crowned king."

Although Xiao Qiyu exchanged a few pleasantries and looked at the name of the mansion, there was no hint of joy in his heart.

After sending away the chamberlain who brought the plaque, he sat blankly in the study for an unknown amount of time. He couldn't get over the fact that Mu Yunjiang had been given a marriage. He even lost his appetite for lunch.

Asuo stood guard by the door, feeling quite sad for a while.

He really watched the three palaces fall into love step by step, but it was fine that the naive girl didn't know how to accept it. Now, an imperial edict has wiped out all possibilities between them.

Your Highness must be feeling very sad.

But he could only keep it in his heart and couldn't say it out loud.

Your Highness is really so pitiful.

Just now I was so angry with Miss Seven that I almost had an accident.

"Your Highness, if you feel unhappy, you can just smash something..." Asuo couldn't help but put his head in to comfort His Highness.

"They were all bought with hard money, why should I smash them?"

Xiao Qiyu asked calmly.

The money in the third prince's house has always been divided into two cents and spent to the extreme. He has spent all the money on the soldiers in need at home. Therefore, the family is very simple.

Hearing this, Asuo retracted his head.

After a while.

"Hey, hey, I heard that the emperor assigned the seventh girl to the one from Qingluo and Xunyang in Langtou? Is this true or false?"

At the right time, Yan Wuhen was found. When he saw Asuo, he asked about this matter in a low voice. Now that this matter was being spread outside, he had to seek confirmation.

His Highness obviously likes Mu Yunjiang...

"No. His Highness and the Seventh Girl experienced life and death in Saibei. Originally, His Highness came back with the intention of asking for a marriage, but as a result..."

Asuo lightly stomped his foot, feeling so annoyed that Luo Xunyang took the opportunity.

"The Emperor is really old and confused..."

When Yan Wuhen gets angry, he becomes arrogant.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. You can't cause any more trouble to His Highness..." Asuo reminded him immediately.

"Oh, by the way, Asuo, please report it to me quickly. I have something to tell His Highness..." Yan Wuhen thought of serious matters and was so anxious that he urged her.

"Come in and talk!"

Xiao Qiyu heard their whispers in the house. Although it was very soft, his ears were very good.

Yan Wuhen ran in and found that His Highness looked very bad. Obviously, His Highness was angry about this matter. If it were him, he would be angry too. Getting married is a lifelong matter. What a powerful person that Seventh Girl is. If

If you miss it, it will be a lifelong regret...

"Your Highness, don't worry. After all, the seventh girl is just engaged. Luo Xunyang is nothing like that. I think this matter will get dirty sooner or later..."

He couldn't help but comfort him first.

Xiao Qiyu looked solemn and motioned for him to look at the weapons on the table: "Let's talk about business first. Come and take a look. I was assassinated just now. This is the weapon that was just handed over. There is no weapon number on it, so it is obviously a privately made weapon...

But this kind of material is not iron and stone that can be obtained by ordinary small workshops, and this kind of craftsmanship is definitely that of a military craftsman..."

Yan Wuhen took a look, with shock on his face: "Not only are the iron quality of these weapons good, but the smelting technology is also quite mature, and they are sharper than what we use on our hands... Your Highness, you were assassinated, are you injured?"

?”

By the end, he became nervous.
