Chapter 304 What a wonderful assassination [Monday]
Jing Ke entered Xianyang Palace under the guidance of his chamberlain.
After entering the palace, he secretly calculated that he had to walk a total of 1,264 steps before passing through the outer corridor, passing through the square in front of the palace, and approaching the Xianyang main palace from the side.
These one thousand two hundred and sixty-four steps, if walked with a sword, can be crossed without even taking a breath.
Jing Ke was calculating the route and speed of his departure after assassinating Queen Qin.
This is something that a practitioner who is good at stabbing will naturally think about.
"I want to escape from Qin Palace, but it's almost impossible..."
Along the way, Jing Ke was secretly shocked by the sight of the elite Qin army and the looming scenes in Xianyang Palace.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Qin Palace, and there are countless powerful people.
Jing Ke glanced vaguely at the sky. The only way out... was to go from the sky.
He immediately stopped his thoughts, took a breath, followed the chamberlain, and walked into the study in the wing of Xianyang Palace.
Jing Ke lowered his head and said, "Jing Ke has met King Qin." Then he knelt down and saluted.
Zhao Huaizhong looked at this famous assassin.
Jing Ke, if there was a ranking of assassins in history, he would definitely be among the top ten. In terms of popularity, he would be among the top three.
Regarding Jing Ke, the common theory is that he was a native of Wei and a fellow villager of Lu Buwei, but some also say that he was originally from Yan and was ordered to join the Qin Dynasty to assassinate him.
Historically, before he came to Qin, the Yan people wore white silk and mourned him to see him off, which shows how tragic and heroic he was.
Qin Wuyang also came to Qin with Jing Ke, but now Qin Wuyang is serving as a general at Yan and does not accompany him. This is obviously a historical deviation.
At this time, Jing Ke entered the Xianyang Palace, and Zhao Huaizhong took a brief look at it.
Jing Ke controlled his aura very well, and there was no trace of murderous intent in his thoughts or actions.
But he is accumulating his own strength in a way unknown to outsiders, waiting for the moment of explosion.
He hid it very well. No wonder he dared to assassinate Zhao Huaizhong even though he knew he was a Saint of the Fifth Realm, without worrying about being seen through.
It is indeed possible for him to hide his abilities from the Saints of the Five Realms.
It's a pity to meet a guy who knows what he's doing just by his name.
"Keep your head up!"
Zhao Huaizhong's majestic voice sounded.
Only then did Jing Ke raise his head and look at the world-famous monarch of Qin.
The moment he saw Zhao Huaizhong, Jing Ke's heart beat a few times imperceptibly.
Zhao Huaizhong sat behind a low seat, wearing a hair crown and a black robe that was very neatly arranged, with overlapping collars, broad shoulders that seemed to be able to bear all weight, and a straight back, as if there was no force that could bend it.
.
Especially Zhao Huaizhong's eyes are calm and sharp that penetrate people's hearts.
The moment Jing Ke and Zhao Huaizhong's eyes met, they almost lost their guard.
He felt a great fear in his heart: The name of the Lord of the Qin Dynasty was world-famous, and it was true that he was so famous that even the Golden Crow was killed by him...
The thoughts in his mind were immediately suppressed by him, fearing that Zhao Huaizhong could see through his thoughts.
Behind Zhao Huaizhong, to the left and right, stood Xin Wu, Liu Qi, and Fan Qingzhou.
Zhao Huaizhong: "Why did you come to Qin Suo?"
"I am bringing ancient rice seeds and the Huntian Beast to offer to the Qin Dynasty. I hope the King of Qin will accept them."
After Jing Ke finished speaking, he turned over his hands and took out a wooden box wrapped in rough cloth.
Historically, Jing Ke hid the dagger he used to commit murder in a map. When he saw the dagger, he suddenly pulled it out and stabbed him.
This change is obviously fabricated by later generations. It is impossible for the guards around King Qin not to check the donations in advance.
If Jing Ke really hid the dagger in the picture, he would have been discovered before he could get close, and he would have become the stupidest assassin in history.
The Jing Ke in front of him was much smarter. He was waiting patiently, looking for an opportunity to kill with one strike.
"Send it up."
The servant Dian Dian stepped forward and carefully inspected the small box that Jing Ke had brought. After checking that it was non-toxic and non-dangerous, he handed it to Zhao Huaizhong.
The box was opened, and inside were grain seeds the size of soybeans.
"This is a rare thing from heaven and earth passed down from ancient times. I heard that the tigers of the Qin Dynasty conquered the world, resisted the demon clan, and protected our human race from being invaded by demons. Jing Ke came here to offer the treasure to Qin, hoping that the King of Qin would accept it."
Zhao Huai thought to himself: If you listen to these few words and understand the truth, then if you still plan to assassinate, your crime will be increased.
The grains presented by Jing Ke were filled with the aura of heaven and earth, and one could tell at a glance that they were precious things.
There are probably thousands of pills in a small box.
If you give this to Mu, she will definitely be happy, and she will probably allow me to stay for one night... Zhao Huai thought to entertain himself.
After Jing Ke finished speaking, he took out another cloth bag from the bag on his back.
There was something squirming in the bag, and it was obviously the Huntian Beast.
He took a step forward to the left, preparing to hand the bag to the waiter on the side.
Zhao Huaizhong said cooperatively: "Jing Ke, take the gift close by and show it to me."
Jing Ke respectfully agreed, held the bag containing the Hun Tian Beast in his hands, and took two steps closer to Zhao Huaizhong. Then he stopped, bowed, raised the bag high above his head, and waited for the chamberlain to present it to Zhao Huaizhong.
After the chamberlain took the bag, he inspected it and prepared to give it to Zhao Huaizhong.
And the moment the cloth bag left his hand, Jing Ke, who was bowing, was accurately calculating the distance.
At this moment, he was less than three feet away from Zhao Huaizhong, which was the best distance for drawing a sword.
The next moment, an ancient monster seemed to be resurrected in Jing Ke's body, his heart was beating loudly in his chest, and the blood in his body was rushing like a long river.
Endless power surged within him.
A ray of sword light suddenly flew out from his mouth.
The most powerful thing about the non-killing sword is that before it is actually fired, there is no murderous intent at all, and once it is activated, it is indestructible and indestructible.
After the sword light appeared, it became even more incredible.
This sword shot was the pinnacle of Jing Ke, without any reservations.
Moreover, he also has a second insurance. At the same time as the sword light breaks through the air, a second invisible killing sword is differentiated under the sword light.
This second sword energy is the Shang Yin sword that Jing Ke borrowed from Liu Xu.
This is an invisible sword with only one ripple, which intersects with Jing Ke's own sword, forming a scissors-like sword light, twisting toward Zhao Huaizhong.
And even if there is light and darkness, both swords come out at the same time, it is still not the whole story of this killing.
The moment Jing Ke took action, in front of Zhao Huaizhong, in the box of rice he had just inspected, there was a seed pulled out from the bottom of the box and cracked.
A ray of golden light shot out from the rice, turning into a magic weapon similar to a gold ingot, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and somewhat like a funnel.
Before the magic weapon exploded in power, just like Jing Ke, there was no trace of aura leaking out.
And the shrinkage is hidden in a grain of rice, which is unexpected and can be said to be all-powerful.
Jing Ke didn't believe that anyone could avoid this kind of killing situation, not even the Five Realm Saints.
Sure enough, there was a sneer!
The two swords were twisted together, and Zhao Huaizhong's head fell to the ground, and the servants beside him were also beheaded, and blood spattered.
Bang!
The Huntian Dou, which was radiating golden light, pressed down, and Zhao Huaizhong's body was torn into pieces and his vitality was wiped out, thus preventing any accidents.
Including Xin Wu and Liu Qi behind him, they were all enveloped by the power released by Hun Tian Dou, and were killed instantly.
How could it go so smoothly?
Jing Ke was stunned for a moment.
The assassination of King Qin went smoothly beyond his expectation.
At the same moment, light flashed in the Hun Tian Dou, and two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, were released. They were both dressed in tight and powerful clothes. They were masters of interception arranged by Taoist Master Liu Xu.
The two of them used the space and aura inside Huntian Dou to cover themselves and cooperated with Jing Ke.
"I wonder how famous the King of Qin, Nuo Da, can be, yet he is such a vulnerable fool."
The woman spat softly with a disdainful look on her face: "It's not a good time to stay here for a long time, let's go."
Jing Ke jumped up, taking a breath of air, and immediately retracted the two flying swords and the bag containing the Hun Tian Beast, jumped onto the Huntian Dou, and prepared to take off with the man and woman into the sky.
The assassination was successful and traveled thousands of miles.
But the moment the three of them jumped onto the Huntian Dou, Jing Ke was shocked to find that Zhao Huaizhong, who was supposed to be killed, was sitting well not far away.
The body of Zhao Huaizhong, who was assassinated by them, disappeared out of thin air on the ground, leaving no trace.
The experience just now was fake... Jing Ke couldn't believe it.
He immediately reacted: I was dragged into some kind of dream (spiritual) illusion by King Qin just now, and the killing was just an illusion. He made me think that I killed him.
In fact, he sat aside and watched the whole process of me killing him.
Yes, the truth is that when Jing Ke came in, Zhao Huaizhong used his mental power to influence him and dragged him into a nightmare like spiritual realm.
Then Jing Ke directed and acted the entire assassination process.
Zhao Huaizhong took Xin Wu, Liu Qi, and Fan Qingzhou to watch the show.
Jing Ke moved quickly, released his flying sword, gestured in the void seriously, and then jumped onto Huntian Dou in a serious manner, preparing to leave.
Liu Qi's smile was low. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and almost laughed out loud.
Jing Ke and the man and woman looked extremely sad.
Their assassination plan was not imprecise. It should have been a dead end. Why was it like this?
Jing Ke stretched out his hand and the sword fell into his hand again.
The woman also looked at the lunar calendar: "We are here to retaliate with death. You have ruined our teaching's important affairs. Even if we cannot leave the Qin Palace alive today, I will kill you first."
The woman raised her hand and pointed, Huntian Dou trembled, and the golden light pressed towards Zhao Huaizhong.
However, Hun Tiandou approached Zhao Huaizhong a few feet away and started to spin and tremble in the air, unable to get any closer to Zhao Huaizhong.
The woman was stunned for a moment, but Jing Ke's heart sank to the bottom of her heart.
When he comes to assassinate Zhao Huaizhong, his chance of success lies in suddenness.
If they faced each other head-on, how could they be the opponents of the Five Realms Saints?
Jing Ke had no idea where the flaw was. He had rehearsed the assassination plan thousands of times in advance and thought there was no flaw.
How did King Qin find out that I was here to assassinate him?
Jing Ke's thoughts were racing, but his speed was not slow. His body swayed slightly. Seeing that there was no hope of assassination, he prepared to run away with his sword, hoping for a chance to survive.
"It's been a busy day, so it's a nice break for you guys to put on a show like this. It's quite exciting."
Zhao Huaizhong said calmly: "You guys, kneel down and answer."
Follow your words.
Jing Ke, together with the two men and women who taught Jiejiao, suddenly fell to their knees.
"Are you from Jiejiao?" Zhao Huaizhong asked.
The three of them couldn't help themselves and rushed to respond: "Yes, we come from Jiejiao Hunyuan Cave Heaven."
"How many branches of Jiejiao are there all over the world?"
"There are five directions of caves and four blessed lands, and the Nine Mountains are the outer gate." Jing Ke tried his best to resist Zhao Huaizhong's inquiry, but he said everything without reservation.
The Five Directions Cave Heaven, the Four Blessed Lands... Zhao Huaizhong had a macroscopic understanding of Jie Jiao's strength distribution for the first time.
"How are you governed?"
"Above the Five Heavens, there is the Supreme Sect, and the mountain gate is unknown. Through the portrait of the Patriarch, he has given me orders in the Five Directions Cave Heaven and the Four Blessed Lands to arrange our actions, which will remain unchanged through the ages."
The woman answered quickly: "You killed Jinwu. It caused too much shock. The emperor was also shocked. You grew up too fast, so we came to kill you."
Zhao Huaizhong: "Where are the caves in the five directions and the blessed lands in the four directions distributed?"
"I don't know.
Originally, we only knew about our own sect's cave, not the existence of other fellow sects.
In the Five Directions Cave Heaven and the Four Directions Blessed Land, it was because of the recent fight against the demon clan for the Kyushu Cauldron that we learned through the portraits of our ancestors that there are many of the same sect."
The woman continued to answer and kept talking:
"We are in Hunyuan Cave Heaven, and the Taoist master is Liu Xu. He may know more about the things within the sect."
"Where is Hunyuan Cave Heaven?"
"Not long ago, we just moved to the west of your Qin territory, hidden in the nine heavens, so that we can observe your western defense line of Qin territory at any time." The woman said.
Zhao Huaizhong secretly thought that the location mentioned by the woman coincided with the location of the unknown cave he wanted to explore as shown on the map of the country. It turned out that Jie Jiao was hiding there and wanted to control changes to the west of our Qin territory at any time.
Jing Ke looked slumped and had stopped struggling.
"I will give you a mission now. Go and assassinate Liu Xu and bring him back with serious injuries. Go ahead."
After Zhao Huaizhong finished speaking, several people seemed to be out of control. Under the leadership of Jing Ke, they all jumped into the air, preparing to turn their guns and go back to assassinate Liu Xu.
The Huntian Dou and the bag containing the Huntian Beast were left in Xianyang Hall.
It became another wave of treasures presented by the treasure delivery team.
