Chapter 121: Killing (3)
Ms. Cao shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"I have not seen the assassin's appearance clearly."
The commander looked at the frightened eunuch who was holding the seal, and the other person's teeth were trembling and he shook his head.
The Assassin Grandmaster had previously fought against Chuang Po Tian, whose blood was boiling and his figure had skyrocketed. In fact, the time was very short, and it only took more than one breath to kill Chuang Po Tian.
The two men were surrounded by energy and blood, covering their faces, not to mention the assassin's face.
The two of them really didn't see clearly what the other looked like. They just looked at the figure and listened to the voice. They should not be very old, but they didn't know when such a young grandmaster appeared in this world again.
The commander could only clasp his fists and retreat, leaving only a few dozen guards in the courtyard. He jumped into the pit and carefully dug the emperor out of the soil bit by bit.
The assassin was too vicious and used heavy tactics to bury His Majesty's entire body in the soil like a pile.
The guards did not dare to use tools for fear of offending the dragon body, so they could only use their hands to dig out the tools.
But he saw Chuang Potian's body falling softly. It was surprising that during the fight just now, his bones had been shattered, and he was only supported by the surrounding soil.
Ms. Cao stood at the edge of the pit blankly, her brain running rapidly.
Except for being invisible at the end, the assassin actually used martial arts from beginning to end.
Could it be that the other party, like Chuang Potian, is just a newbie in cultivating immortality?
Moreover, why does the assassin seem to be using Lao Chuang’s special skill of burning blood?
Could it be that he is a powerful player in the Jin Dynasty Princess Pan Furong's family?
If it is really a blood-burning technique, after the opponent kills Chuang Potian, he is actually at the end of his game.
A trace of annoyance flashed in her heart. If she and the leader eunuch beside her had mustered up the courage to rush forward, they might have been able to stop the assassin.
However, if the guess is wrong, it is just a matter of one shot.
Lady Cao then thought about it, forget it, she still couldn’t afford to offend him.
Chuang Potian was already dead. No matter how prominent he was as emperor during his lifetime, it was not worth risking his life for a dead man.
Now, I still want to think about how to get enough benefits from Chuang Po Tian.
Chuang Potian has no relatives, and his only nephew is also dead.
The throne is now vacant. Without the support of Chuang Potian, how can she gain a foothold in the harem?
What is wrong with this dead dragon's death? Why did he die in his own palace? In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he is afraid that he will cause trouble for himself.
What should I do?
No matter which new emperor ascends the throne, he will not want a woman like her who has given birth to children as a concubine.
I am afraid that the cold palace is the best destination.
If the new emperor is cruel, it is possible that he will be given a white silk to die.
Mrs. Cao's head was dripping with cold sweat, while the eunuch next to her was dripping with sweat.
He can also think of things that Mrs. Cao can think of.
Your Majesty is dead, but the concubine and personal eunuch are still alive.
The concubine may not necessarily die, but she may still be able to live in the cold palace, eating half a piece of sour cold steamed buns a day, and surviving.
But he is the eunuch of the personal bodyguard.
There is the word "guard" in front of the seal. It is his duty to protect His Majesty.
Now that His Majesty is dead, the rest of the personal guards have died in the battle.
He is the only one left to live, which is the biggest dereliction of duty!
What other option does he have except death?
Please explain, so many master guards died, why are you the only one alive? Does that assassin think you look strange?
I am afraid that you are either you or the assassin's insider. Otherwise, there are many courtyards in the palace, and normal people will get lost when they enter. How can that person find it accurately and get close to His Majesty's dragon bed?
If we want to hold people accountable, is it better to kill him alone or a bunch of people?
After all, the emperor was assassinated. How many people would normally die in this line led by the nine admirals, the imperial guards, and the imperial guards? How many official hats have been taken away? How many boards were laid?
If all the responsibility is placed on him, the officials and leaders above will be forgiven and their sins will be greatly reduced.
The commander was shocked by the news of His Majesty's death just now. He was busy going out and arranging manpower to search Ouchi for traces of the assassin.
The other party will react in a short while, and he is afraid that he will be taken away soon and suffer various severe tortures in the sky prison.
If he couldn't catch the assassin, he would find some accomplices for the assassin. Anyway, there couldn't be a problem with the palace's security system. If he thought about it from his perspective, he would definitely do this.
The seal eunuch is about to cry.
No, we must survive in death!
He glanced at the guards under the pit who were still busy digging up the dragon's corpse, then knelt down and kowtowed to Madam Cao, and whispered.
"Mother, we have to save ourselves..." he sobbed, "Your Majesty died in your palace. No matter who becomes the new emperor, he will not let us go."
< br>
"This slave will be cut into pieces."
"My Lady, even if you are afraid, you will not be safe."
Ms. Cao was startled: "Cao Qing, can't you?"
This eunuch has the same surname as her. He is from the same family and his name is Cao Qing.
Cao Qing knelt down in tears.
"Your Majesty, why not? This is the palace, the most vicious and insidious place in the world."
"This slave is a eunuch from the previous dynasty. Do you know what happened to the concubines who fell out of favor?"
"It was good to be in the harem and eat some pig and dog food, and it was good to be buried in the harem."
"When His Majesty was assassinated, he was just frightened, so he cut off the limbs of the concubine who was sleeping and put them in a Raised in a jar, these are all recorded in the history books.”
“Mother, we have to save ourselves!”
Madam Cao's face turned gloomy after hearing this, and she turned her head to look into the pit.
Most of Chuang Potian's body was dug out in the pit. The headless body was limp and blood gushed out from the neck cavity.
When she thought that her beautiful head might end up like this in the future, Mrs. Cao shuddered, turned her head and stared at Cao Qing coldly, and said in a cold voice.
"Cao Qing, you are afraid that you will be executed, so you come to confuse me, right?"
Cao Qing kowtowed to the ground, and he bled.
"Your Majesty, I have selfish motives, but what I tell you is the truth."
"Although you entered the palace as a concubine, the queen and you have always been at odds. I don't think she will get into trouble. "
"But in addition to being a concubine, you were also the leader of the rear army, and the current general is also a member of your clan."
"The rear army is now stationed in the capital. Madam, this is it. In troubled times, only with soldiers can you survive!" Cao Qing cried, "My slave and the queen are like grasshoppers on the same rope now."
"In troubled times, the one with strong soldiers and horses is the emperor. You only need to contact me. Army, who dares to touch you?”
Cao Qing's heart skipped a beat and he said boldly.
"When the time comes, whether you are guilty or innocent, and your Majesty has no heirs, you will still be the leader who raised the army with him, and you are also qualified to sit on the throne."
"If the empress is willing to wait like this Let others handle it, I have nothing to say, just wait here to die together."
Ms. Cao stood up with a cold snort, and walked a few steps barefoot among the ruins.
I didn’t expect it before, but now Cao Qing woke up.
The queen was Chuang Potian's concubine when he became king. She was the charming young lady whom Chuang Potian won the hearts of the nobles. She had always looked down upon her as a thief.
With the assassination of His Majesty, it is indeed possible to take the opportunity to launch an attack.
I think she also had a background of rebelling against the king with a knife, so how could she be willing to let a noble lady and the new emperor who didn't know where to take control of her life?
She has a sword and an army, but she is still an old rebel king. She has friendships with all the leading figures in the rebel army. Chuang Potian has no heirs left. Why can't she sit on this dragon throne?
Even if you can't sit on the dragon's throne, it's not difficult to support the army and protect yourself, and get a fiefdom. It's better than being worried now!
"Cao Qing, can I trust you?" Lady Cao asked in a deep voice. Bang bang bang!
Cao Qing kowtowed fiercely, with blood flowing all over his face.
“Your Majesty, this slave is so heartbroken and will not hesitate to do so!”
Ms. Cao said with a smile.
"Okay, since we are still our family, I will recognize you as my godbrother."
"I don't dare to be this slave..." Cao Qing trembled with joy. This woman's ambition was stimulated and she was obviously taking risks. .
It’s good to take risks. Only by taking risks can you survive.
"Brother..." Lady Cao ignored his refusal and pulled off the jade pendant that still had body temperature on her neck and handed it to him, "Take this..."
Cao The lady asked him to find a guard commander in the harem, who was one of her own soldiers. He would send the guards to take Cao Qing out of the palace to mobilize the rear army. The army set off and immediately surrounded the imperial city.
As for Cao Qing, he stayed in the army and never came back.
"Empress...then you..." Cao Qing couldn't help but asked worriedly.
Ms. Cao sneered.
"This palace is here. As long as the rear army surrounds the imperial city, who dares to touch me?"
"It would be better if the rear army can take the opportunity to enter the palace."
"The person named Qin on this dragon chair is not so lucky and cannot sit firmly. The person named Cao will be just as good."
She was born a bandit and had no respect for the imperial power.
Chuangpo sleeps in the same bed with her every day and has seen her naked countless times, and he does not feel any mysterious fear towards the emperor.
What's more, Chuang Potian was smashed to death in front of her just now.
So, when ambition is stirred up and activated, it immediately grows like a weed and can no longer be contained.
"My slave obeys your orders! Madam, please wait for the good news from this slave." Cao Qing took the jade pendant and left in the chaos.
The two of them are really like grasshoppers on the same rope. He will definitely find the commander and save his life.
There was chaos inside and outside the palace at the moment.
Many eunuchs and maids were ecstatic when they heard the news of Chuang Potian's death. There were also many old soldiers who followed Chuang Potian all the way and were devastated to see him ascend the dragon throne. Isn't your Majesty a destiny?
How could he be assassinated and die?
Countless guards were even sent out of the palace to report to their respective masters, hoping to take the lead after the emperor's death.
Even some military leaders like Madam Cao began to move, faintly pointing towards the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
Under the deep night.
The entire capital city was alarmed by this. The roads were filled with soldiers and horses in chaos. The sound of galloping horses was endless, and the blades of armor were clanging.
The common people huddled in their homes and trembled, listening to the earth turning upside down outside. They just hoped that the gods would fight and not bring disaster to ordinary people like themselves.
There was a commotion.
No one is paying attention to the vast walls of the capital.
In the shadow of a wall, a figure suddenly appeared in the void, but it was a man in black with blood on his chest.
At this moment, there were many soldiers on the city wall. They were all nervously looking in the direction of the imperial city. Only a small soldier accidentally turned his head and saw a man flashing out of the void.
"Ghost...Ghost..."
He was so shocked that he stuttered and raised his hand to point at the other person.
With just this stuttering technique, the man in black had climbed over the wall and disappeared.
"What the hell?" The leader of the patrol turned his head and looked around, but saw nothing.
He immediately turned around and cursed, "Little boy, do you not want to live anymore?"
"Didn't you see that the palace was exploding? Something big must have happened. ! I don’t know how many heads will be lost tonight!”
"Now guard the city wall, and don't give me any nonsense, or I'll anger the general above and chop your head off!"
"It doesn't matter if you die, don't implicate everyone..."
It turns out that at this moment, although the soldiers on the city wall were alerted by the ringing of bells everywhere in the capital, they all mobilized.
However, they don’t know what happened in the palace yet. They just cordoned off the city walls and prohibited anyone from entering or exiting the city.
The little boy opened his mouth and wanted to say what he saw just now.
But then he thought about it, who would believe it if he said it? After all, only I saw it, and no one else saw it.
Said that the people around you suddenly changed? Isn’t this making yourself unhappy?
If you anger the boss, you will get a beating even if you don't behead him.
Suddenly he thought about it, didn’t that man jump off the city wall?
As long as you point it out to the leader, you might make a great contribution.
This man's whereabouts are strange. There is no guarantee that it has something to do with the commotion in the palace tonight. If he is caught, there will definitely be a heavy reward.
The little kid hurriedly rushed to the wall and looked down.
In just a moment, the man in black was clinging to the city wall like a gecko. With a few twists, he had already climbed down the city wall. In just a few steps, he had already run a few feet away. He quickly blended into the deep night outside and disappeared.
He slapped the wall in annoyance and shut his mouth tightly. He always felt that he seemed to have missed a huge achievement.
The leader of the gods knows how to reprimand himself. If he had stopped wasting so many words just now and listened to himself, he would not have wasted so long.
"Little boy, why are you standing there on the wall like a fool? Come here and form a team, the school officer is patrolling the city... Hurry up!"
"Oh, here we come..." The little boy instantly changed what he had just said. Forgetting what happened, he sneered and ran over to squeeze into the queue.
Kakakaka...
The school officer came over with iron boots and a dark face.
“A nobleman in the palace has been assassinated. We need to keep a close watch on our city walls tonight, not even a fly can be let go!”
"Yes, sir!" Everyone agreed in a loud voice.
In the darkness outside the city.
Luye staggered forward and found a small forest after a while.
He got in and finally couldn't help it.
Wow...
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Lu Ye untied his clothes, only to see two deep cuts on the front and back of the meteor armor. Even the inner garment that he had snatched from Gong Yangzi was not ordinary at first glance.
The wound on the chest was open like a baby's mouth, and there was a sharp penetrating wound on the chest near the shoulder blade.
These wounds were originally firmly suppressed by his powerful master's body, but later they were broken by the boiling Qi when he used the blood-burning technique, and the wounds reopened, and now they look bloody and bloody.
Fortunately, the blood flowing out was still bright red. Those half-step master eunuchs probably relied on their status and did not apply poison on their swords.
It seemed that the poison-reducing pills he prepared in advance were no longer needed, but he still felt that his physical condition was not good at this moment, and he felt weak in waves.
Lu Ye estimates that his combat power has dropped to more than two levels now. If a steel-framed martial artist comes out, he may not be able to defeat him.
Fortunately, I finally escaped from the capital.
