Chapter 18: The Last Person Killed by the King of Assassins
The Ancestral Temple was already in chaos.
At this time, the guards of the brigade were guarding outside the gate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and they did not know what was going on inside the hall.
And the few guards in the palace were not their enemies at all.
Although these people have never practiced immortal magic, their martial arts are far superior to ordinary people, and they are well-trained in setting up individual formations, advancing and retreating together.
However, their arrogance did not last long.
Qin Yangwei, who was originally standing at the front of the hall, immediately reacted. He immediately controlled Gao Wei, who was closest to Qin Zhengming, and after ensuring Qin Zhengming's safety, he stepped forward together with other monks from the Qin family in the hall and moved the ten
The two of them solved it neatly.
Just when he knocked down the third person and knocked him unconscious, he found that there were no assassins standing around him.
Most of the Qin family monks used two people to attack one person, aiming to deal with these assassins as quickly as possible.
But the only difference is Qin Luo.
Qin Luo's performance was extremely eye-catching.
After the assassins drew their swords just now, he was the first to rush towards them.
Relying on his agile body skills and his nearly instinctive fighting consciousness developed in his previous life, he could easily dodge their slashes and thrusts continuously.
And his counterattacks were sharp and swift, and each punch could hit a person's vital part. After that person was knocked down, he could only curl up in pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the side and could not be picked up again.
Therefore, Qin Luo alone was able to take down one-third of this group of assassins.
The dust has settled.
The center of the main hall.
Qin Zhengming stood with a calm expression.
When these assassins took action just now, his expression was like this, without any panic. Instead, he immediately cast a concerned look at Qin Luo, wanting to know if his nephew was okay after being poisoned.
It was his magnanimous and calm kingly demeanor that prevented the scene from becoming more chaotic.
After things gradually calmed down, although he still looked calm, anyone could tell that this was the haze before the thunderstorm.
The anger hidden under his extreme repression, when ignited, will bring an irresistible disaster to Xiyang Kingdom and completely devour those traitors.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses!
"How dare you, such daring people, to assassinate me in the Imperial Ancestral Temple?" Qin Zhengming sneered at Gao Wei, who was lying on the ground, "Tell me, how dare you!"
In the Ancestral Temple, the tablets of the ancestors of the Qin family are enshrined, which is the most sacred place for the Qin family.
These people coming to defile this place are like touching the dragon's reverse scales.
The surrounding generals had equally cold eyes, looking at Gao Wei as if they were looking at a dead man who had been beheaded on the battlefield.
It's just that Gao Di is not the only one who is about to die.
Within three months, the Xiyang Kingdom will be wiped out and the country will be wiped out!
At this time, Gao Weizhan knelt down on the ground tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "It's unjust... It's unjust... Oh, King Dan, spare your life, the envoy really didn't know anything about it."
Looking at his trembling appearance, Qin Fufeng, who was standing aside, snorted coldly and scolded: "You are still arguing with your words when you are about to die. If you are killed happily, I will still consider you a man."
Qin Luo, who was standing in the distance, saw Gao Wei with a face full of fear, and felt something was wrong in his heart.
Although the storm had been calmed down, everything seemed to go too smoothly, and there were too many doubts that he couldn't explain in his mind.
For example, the contrast between Gao Wei's trembling and frightened kneeling and begging for mercy and his calm approach when presenting the picture was too obvious.
If Gao Wei could pretend to be like that before, it proves that his mental quality is excellent. Even if he is captured, he should not become the clown he is now.
unless……
Gao Wei was just as he called out, a poor man who was kept in the dark and didn't know anything.
So his calm expression before was not just an act, but he really didn't know that the two pictures he was holding contained poisonous powder, so he was fearless.
Then, the commander of all this must be someone else, and he is definitely not among the remaining twelve people in the mission. After all, those people were obviously trained as warriors and used as cannon fodder. They are unlikely to be smart people.
This time, their assassination was meticulous and was obviously planned by experts.
If Qin Luo hadn't suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Because as the most precious treasure presented by Xiyang Kingdom, the landscape painting will definitely be carefully maintained and should never be covered with a layer of fine dust.
After that, he chose not to alert the snake, but went to check the topographic map of Qishan Mountain without saying a word, and discovered the existence of the mixed poison.
Fortunately, Qin Zhengyang did not touch the two scrolls directly, otherwise it would have been very dangerous.
After some reasoning, Qin Luo gradually understood the cause and effect.
So all this is not over yet.
The existence of the disappeared fourteenth person is the key.
at the same time.
A person was moving slowly in the crowd, approaching Qin Zhengyang's back.
His breathing rate was a little faster than usual at this time, and the hand holding the knife hidden in his sleeve was trembling slightly.
I usually live my life well, but I didn't expect that one day I would have to see blood with my own hands and kill someone.
Obviously his plan was so thorough, he even brought daggers in for them.
It’s all because those people are so rubbish that even sending a picture has problems.
And the trash among the twelve trash, who claimed that he could defeat a hundred people together, but was defeated in less than two breaths, is a trash!
The result of these wastes.
The person he wanted to kill now was a king who had to worship him every day, and even admired him quite a lot.
But as a hidden man who has been buried for thirty years, if he doesn't take action...
If the people behind the information that he had frequently passed on before were exposed, he would also die tragically.
"I am forced to have no choice." Wu Yong said silently in his heart.
Feeling fear, excitement and guilt mixed together, he turned the dagger he was holding in his backhand around and sent it forward.
The next second.
What he felt was not the sluggish feeling of the knife tip piercing his flesh, but a sharp pain in the hand holding the knife, which made him cry out in pain.
Accompanied by his screams, the dagger fell to the ground with a "thud" sound.
The hearts of everyone in the hall, who had calmed down at first, became anxious again.
Qin Luo, who was seven steps away, clapped his hands with satisfaction.
It seems that the skill of flying rocks and hitting people that I trained in my previous life is still familiar to me.
He had been waiting for the last assassin to take action for a long time.
What's more, this assassin is not experienced.
When he tiptoed close to Qin Zhengming, as long as he paid attention, he could easily notice that something was wrong with him, not to mention that Qin Luo was always highly focused on observing people around him.
However, when he caught a glimpse of the assassin's face, he was still a little surprised.
I didn't expect that the fourteenth person would be Wu Yong.
After all, Wu Yong was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was considered to be in a high position in the Dan Kingdom.
But precisely because he holds a high position and commits treason, he deserves death!
Qin Luo suppressed the anger in his heart, and a line of system prompts appeared in front of his eyes.
[Congratulations to the player for achieving a new achievement: Protecting the king and rescuing the king.]
[Reward: Obtain 30 attribute points, which can be used to improve the player's own attributes.
Obtain the Xuan-level high-grade item Breast Guard - an indestructible, life-saving artifact. No matter how strong the opponent's attack strength is, it can withstand three fatal injuries for the player.】
Qin Luo took a cursory glance at the effects of the reward items and couldn't help but feel happy.
The function of this prop can be said to be unexpectedly good.
If it weren't for the limit on the number of times it could withstand fatal damage, Qin Luo would even think that this item would be far more than a high-grade Xuan-level item.
After all, the words "no matter how strong the opponent's attack is" are its most powerful proof.
It can even be said that it makes up for Qin Luo's biggest shortcoming now.
If you were to face a truly powerful practitioner, you would have a narrow escape from death.
The 10% chance of survival is the confidence given by this protective mirror.
After Qin Luo hurriedly scanned the system display, he naturally disappeared into the crowd and returned to Qin Buyu.
"Brother Ran, are you okay? Those people were very good at swordsmanship just now." Qin Buyu pursed his lips tightly and asked rather worriedly.
After all, although Qin Luo's performance in the fight just now was dazzling, in the eyes of outsiders, every step was extremely thrilling.
"It's good for these low-class young people to touch the corner of my clothes." Qin Luo waved his hand with a smile, "Rather than worry about this, it's better to think about what we will eat later."
Seeing his calm expression, Qin Buyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she was taken off topic by Qin Luo and began to discuss which restaurant in the city had the best taste and which restaurant had a more homely taste.
After the ancestor worship is completed, they can go and taste it together.
After all, Qin Luo knew it in his heart.
Now it's okay to leave the affairs in the palace to Qin Zhengming and the others. It would be inappropriate to get involved in it in one's own capacity.
What's more, he should be the first to do the escorting this time, and various rewards afterwards will definitely be indispensable.
It's just that the scene in the hall is still a bit chaotic now, and the most important thing is to deal with the assassins and traitors.
So it doesn't matter if he waits any longer.
Your performance is obvious to all, and the reward will eventually come to you.
at this time.
Qin Zhengming turned around, and the moment the dagger fell to the ground, several generals of the Qin family quickly formed a wing shape and guarded him in the middle.
He stared with disappointment at Wu Yong, who was holding his bleeding right hand tightly with his left hand.
Qin Luo's hand was quite heavy just now, so although Wu Yong did not continue to scream, the expression on his face was still grinning.
Facing Qin Zhengming's gaze, Wu Yong kowtowed and said: "I deserve to die for my crime, and I am willing to be cut into pieces with a thousand knives. But Wan'er did it for no reason. Please leave her a way to live."
The Wan'er mentioned by Wu Yong was a direct descendant of the Qin family. It was by marrying her that Wu Yong gradually entered the core of power in the country.
Qin Zhengming sneered and said: "This shouldn't be something you should worry about now. You should think about how to explain what you know later."
After that, he waved his hand, and the guards who rushed to the hall dragged Wu Yong away from the ground.
Qin Zhengming rubbed his eyebrows. It was obvious that today's series of events had made him mentally and physically exhausted.
What's more, compared to the assassination by outsiders, the rebellion of the ministers whom he obviously trusted would hit him harder.
He used to regard Wu Yong as a loyal minister. Apart from members of the Qin family, his trust in Wu Yong was ranked among the top five.
But he knew that he still couldn't swallow waste food.
Although he would have to cleanse himself in the court for a while, he could not distrust his surname because of this.
He took a deep breath and looked at the other people in the hall. Now that the chaos in the hall had long ended, most people looked at him in unison.
Qin Zhengming turned around and bowed to the tablet, then turned around and said calmly: "The next part of the ancestor worship is postponed, and the ancestors will be worshiped again in the future to comfort the ancestors' frightened spirits today."
"Here!" Everyone agreed and slowly exited the hall.
As the ancestor, Qin Luo also mixed in with the crowd and dragged Qin Buyu to the Ying Sifang Restaurant with the best reputation in the city.
After the crowd dispersed, the only ones left in the hall were Qin Zhengming, Qin Fufeng, Qin Yangwei, and a few guards on duty at the door.
Qin Zhengming was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "When a moth like Wu Yong appears, it means that the moths that have not been discovered may have filled the court. It seems that I have been too tolerant to them over the years.
After all, I think that China's current opponents are mainly external, so everyone should work together to develop domestically. Unexpectedly, I hope so, but they don't think so.
After that... let’s clean it and kill the moths.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yangwei and Qin Fufeng looked at each other.
They knew that the next step in the court would inevitably be a bloody storm, and the food market would be filled with people.
As for which step to kill...
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yangwei took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the traitor Wu Yong just prayed that the disaster would not come to Qin Wan'er. I wonder what your Majesty's intention is?"
"Conspirators should be punished for the nine clans. Although Qin Wan'er is from the royal family and does not need to be exterminated, how can she be exempted from the crime since she has been married to the traitor for more than ten years?" Qin Zhengming said calmly.
"Yes." Qin Yangwei heard what Qin Zhengming said and nodded and returned.
After all, the king's attitude is already very obvious.
This time of mass killing, I am afraid that many members of the Qin clan will not be spared either.
Seeing this, Qin Fufeng changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, the performance of the Qin family's children today is still good, and they have done a good job in protecting them, especially Qin Ran, who is usually the most lazy in training.
The performance is also very good.”
When Qin Zhengming heard this, he showed a look of relief and sighed: "Fufeng, you are right. I will summon Ran'er tomorrow and ask him about his future plans. We, the Qilin son of the Qin family, cannot just bury him like this.
After all, the next generation of Dan Kingdom belongs to them."
Qin Fufeng and Qin Yangwei paid homage at the same time: "Your Majesty, your Majesty."
…
In the autumn of the 21st year of Yuanjing, King Zhuang was worshiping his ancestors at the Ancestral Temple. He was frightened when he was assassinated. Fortunately, with the blessing of the spirits of his ancestors, the assassin was captured and the king was fine. - "Jiu Dan Shu"
This is what has been officially handed down.
According to folk rumors, the situation in the Ancestral Temple was in crisis at that time, and it took the intervention of a god to settle the matter. However, the record of the person who took action was not recorded in the annals of history. Although there are many rumors, there does not seem to be any information about the identity of that person.
Unreliable, as if it was deliberately hidden. This chapter has been completed!
