Chapter 37: Fuhe's Assassination, Another Dangerous Situation
Zhongzhou, the capital city of Yin.
Since the meeting that day, Gao He repeatedly wanted to see Gao Zhen in private but was rejected. He was even refused permission to go to court himself.
At first, Gao He thought he was worried that he would mention the military rations again, but after almost ten days, Gao He began to feel that something was wrong. The inn where he lived was blocked by the Royal Forest Army, which was called to protect King Anxi.
Gao He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that Gao Zhen was spying on him. At first he let him go out, but later he was not even allowed to go out on the street. Now Gao He began to frown, looked at the tips Wang Aosheng gave him, and fell into deep thought.
.
On the streets of Yindu, Ning Xiaochuan was walking on the street, having nothing to do as usual and going to the bank of Fuhe River.
When he passed the tea stall, three pairs of eyes stared at him.
"Brother, this kid's going out time is haphazard and irregular. There's no way we can stay like this all the time."
The three men were all dressed in black. The man who spoke had a scar on his sallow face, and his sinister face made people look scary.
"Yes, if you ask me, I will have sex with him tonight on the banks of the Fu River. Then we can escape by going down the river." The second man who spoke curled his lips and said sinisterly.
"Second brother is right. After asking around in the past few days, I found out that this kid is also a romantic figure. Not only does he run to the banks of the Fu River, but he doesn't even let men go. He is quite ruthless."
Talk with your mouth.
"I asked you to inquire, and that's all you inquired about." The second child glared at him and said helplessly.
"This kid is just a dandy. You can hear a lot just by listening on the street. I really don't know why we should take action to kill this loser." The third child complained.
The second child looked at Ning Xiaochuan's back and frowned, "Although this boy is a slut and a playboy, his status is not ordinary. I guess he is worried about this status, so we let us take action to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"This kid, it's his fate to die in our hands." The third child said with a cold smile.
The second child looked at the silent eldest brother and asked softly, "By the way, brother, when do you think it's appropriate for us to take action?"
"Yes, brother, please give me an idea." The third child also echoed.
As their eldest brother, the leading man put down the tea bowl in his hand, stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, and took a closer look. He had an eyepatch on his right eye, and he must have lost one eye.
"We don't have much time. We can't wait any longer. We are still waiting for news over there." The man stood up and picked up the bamboo hat on the table. "Follow that boy and we will take action tonight."
"Okay." The two stood up, picked up their bamboo hats and followed.
…
It was a windy summer night, and Ning Xiaochuan leaned against the window, feeling the breeze outside. The breeze was blowing his hair, and he was so handsome as a young man.
The red lights and green tiles along the river bank, as well as the chirping of insects and frogs, add some charm to this romantic place.
"Sir, how nice is the scenery along the river?" Wen Zhaomin walked to Ning Xiaochuan and said softly.
Looking at the hustle and bustle outside, Wen Zhaomin almost forgot that this was a romantic place.
Ning Xiaochuan breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's good, but this place is still not suitable for enjoying the scenery."
Hearing Ning Xiaochuan's words, Wen Zhaomin's eyes flashed with something strange. Yes, this is just a land of romance, and she is just a brothel girl. "Then in the eyes of the young master, what is this place suitable for?"
"Um?"
Looking at Wen Zhaomin's lovely big eyes, Ning Xiaochuan smiled slightly, and gently raised Wen Zhaomin's chin with one hand, his eyes filled with mist. Wen Zhaomin bit her lower lip nervously, but she didn't know that this made her look more charming.
enchanting.
"What do you think?" Ning Xiaochuan's mouth curved, with a slightly teasing tone that made Wen Zhaomin's face turn red, his eyes dodge, and he didn't dare to look directly at him.
But just when the atmosphere was extremely delicate, a "whoosh" sound broke through the air, and an arrow came straight towards Ning Xiaochuan.
"careful!"
Ning Xiaochuan frowned, pushed Wen Zhaomin away, and used his own strength to retreat. In the next second, the arrow flew past Ning Xiaochuan's eyes.
This time, Ning Xiaochuan saw the arrow clearly. It was completely black, and there was still a trace of Qi in the arrow body. This was not an arrow fired by ordinary people, but by a warrior.
"Bang." The arrow passed directly through the flower boat, and a big hole was blasted out of the wooden board behind it.
"Sir, are you okay?" Wen Zhaomin grabbed the leg of the table next to him to steady his body, looking at Ning Xiaochuan and shouting anxiously.
Ning Xiaochuan's eyes turned cold, and his whole body's energy condensed. The light yellow energy surged out from his Dantian and converged along the veins on Ning Xiaochuan's arm, "Stay still and don't move."
"Whoosh whoosh."
There was another burst of sound, and this time the arrows rushed towards the flower boat. There were bursts of explosions, and the entire roof of the flower boat was directly overturned.
The Fuhe Riverside, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, was suddenly filled with violent explosions. The entire riverside suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were turned to the flower boat in the center of the river.
"boom!"
There was another explosion, and the entire flower boat roof was completely overturned. The roof fell into the river with a loud noise, and the shaking ripples made the entire flower boat shake.
Ning Xiaochuan looked up and saw the stars twinkling above his head. Wen Zhaomin was so frightened that he hid in the corner, tears falling down his cheeks.
"Ning Xiaochuan, take your life." There was a muffled roar, and a man in black with a bamboo hat suddenly appeared above the starry sky. The man's right hand flashed with silver light, turned into a claw and came straight towards Ning Xiaochuan.
The figure in black rushed to Ning Xiaochuan in an instant, so fast that he had no time to react.
"boom."
A red figure stood in front of Ning Xiaochuan. The long sword emitted bursts of red light, and the clanging sound caused by metal friction reached Ning Xiaochuan's ears. Nie Hongyi's rescue was not untimely.
"Master, leave quickly!"
Nie Hongyi shouted, Ning Xiaochuan nodded, quickly got up, mobilized his energy, quickly came to Wen Zhaomin, picked up Wen Zhaomin and ran to the shore.
At this time, the banks of the Fu River had already turned into a mess. Seeing the silver and red zhenqi flashing on the flower boat in the middle of the river, everyone along the river ran out in panic, fearing that they would be affected by these zhenqi.
Ordinary people with the power of binding chickens will die if they are touched by the true energy.
Only then did Ning Xiaochuan see clearly that the right hand of the man in black was wearing a silver-armored glove, which was like an eagle's claw and was extremely sharp. Being caught by this eagle's claw would result in death or disability.
Nie Hongyi blocked it hard, and the man in black was shocked into the air. He flipped back and landed firmly on the side of the flower boat. Nie Hongyi, holding a sharp sword, stood on the other side of the flower boat with a heroic appearance.
"No wonder they asked us to come, it turns out there are experts around them!" The man in black said to himself.
Looking at Nie Hongyi, he activated all his energy, his breath shook, and he rushed forward again. Nie Hongyi was not to be outdone, with the long sword in his hand, the sword energy was overflowing, and the clanging sound of the flower boat continued to be heard, the energy was
The collision produced a violent roar.
Arriving at the shore, Ning Xiaochuan put Wen Zhaomin down, frowned and said, "Quickly go, wait for me outside."
After Wen Zhaomin heard this, he didn't have time to ask any more questions. He said, "Young Master, be careful," and then ran out.
"Whoosh..." As soon as Wen Zhaomin left, there were bursts of sound breaking through the air around Ning Xiaochuan. This time the shore was wide, so Ning Xiaochuan quickly stood up, activated his energy, and moved towards the river embankment next to him.
As soon as the person walked away, those arrows rushed down from the back. Two men wearing bamboo hats and identical eagle claw gloves came straight towards Ning Xiaochuan from the left and right.
"Buzz."
There was a loud noise, and a huge blue Qi shield appeared directly in front of Ning Xiaochuan. A blue light flashed and the two figures were knocked back.
The next second, Kong Zhenxuan, whose hands were full of blue energy, fell from the sky. The moment he landed, two water columns surged out of the river and went straight towards the two black figures.
The silver zhenqi was blocked forward, and the two water pillars were blocked instantly. However, Kong Zhenxuan's sudden arrival caught the two men in black off guard.
"Another spirit shell realm." The second brother frowned. Unexpectedly, there were many masters around this dude.
"superior!"
The boss in black was heartbroken, his eagle claws flashed with silver light, and he charged forward again.
Kong Zhenxuan formed a seal with his hands, and blue aura gathered in mid-air. As soon as the two men in black rushed forward, they were blocked by Kong Zhenxuan. The silver infuriating energy and the blue infuriating energy collided fiercely.
Now, the banks of the Fuhe River are bustling. Nie Hongyi is in the center of the river, and Kong Zhenxuan is on the bank. The whole bank of the Fuhe River is full of energy, and the river is undulating. It can be said that we have never seen such a lively fight in Yindu City for many years.
.
…
In the palace, the fluctuations of zhenqi along the Fuhe River have long been known to the palace.
Han Zhongxuan stood on the high platform, followed by a group of attendants, staring in the direction of the Fu River, and said to the cold-faced man behind him who was wearing a white fishtail suit and carrying a sword at his waist: "Yin Capital City is really lively tonight.
ah."
"Sir, it's the killers from the Gongsun family who are attacking Ning Xiaochuan." The cold-faced man said with his hands raised.
"Let's fight, let's fight. The more lively the fight, the better. Then we can reap the benefits." Han Zhongxuan smiled sarcastically, his gloomy expression making people shudder.
"How is the situation in Shuzhou?"
"Those grains have been arranged for sale, and the price is very low, which soon attracted the attention of the Shuzhou government." The cold-faced man continued to lower his head and said.
"The Sichuan-Sichuan issue is a major concern for His Majesty and cannot be taken carelessly." Han Zhongxuan said seriously.
"Yes!" The cold-faced man handed over his hand again.
Han Zhongxuan looked at the direction of the Fu River, then turned and walked out. As soon as he reached the stairs, he met the Queen Gongsun Changping.
Seeing the Queen rushing towards her, Han Zhongxuan and others hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "I pay my respects to the Queen."
"Eunuch Han, you're still not resting at this late hour. It looks like you just came down from the terrace." Gongsun Yunping said with a smile.
She had a good impression of Han Zhongxuan. When she was able to sit in the position of queen, Han Zhongxuan helped her a lot. Although Han Zhongxuan was also thinking about Gao Zhen at the time, he still helped her in the end.
"The weather is hot. I went up here to cool off for a while. Now it's time to go back and rest." Han Zhongxuan said with his head lowered from beginning to end.
Gongsun Changping nodded, "That's right. Eunuch Han, let's take a rest early, and I'll go up and have some fresh air."
"Yes, I would like to send my congratulations to you." Han Zhongxuan ducked aside with a group of people and watched Gongsun Changping walk onto the terrace before leaving.
Standing on the terrace, looking in the direction of the Fu River, Gongsun Changping frowned, looked at the maid next to him and said, "How?"
The maid frowned and bowed slightly, "My dear, the progress is not going well."
Hearing this, Gongsun Changping clenched his fists uneasily: "This Ning family is really difficult to deal with."
