Chapter Thirty Ninety-five Supreme
The sharp blade that quietly passed through the yellow fog approached Chen Fei's throat step by step, and the master of the sharp blade converged as a result. It is said that when a person achieves his goal, his breathing will become rapid, his pupils will be dilated, and his heartbeat will also increase. After long-term training, the killer can make the rapid breathing and the change in the frequency of his heartbeat almost zero, but the pupils cannot be overcome, but it does not have much impact on the assassination itself.
The blade quietly passed through the smoke and approached Chen Fei. When he was about to hit the target, Chaohua Xi picked up the sword and stabbed Qianqian's body first and pierced her heart. Chen Fei looked over with cold eyes. Every time he killed someone, he felt a little unbearable, but this time he didn't have a slightest bit of help. His right hand pierced into his chest was very stable and steady, and his eyes were also cold and firm from beginning to end. He grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand and pressed Qianqian's forehead with the other hand, covering her eyes: "The mysterious mortals of immortal arts will never understand. From the moment your killer group dared to start a war with the fairy world, the decline of your killer group has been for sure."
With a strong push with his left hand, Qianqian leaned back and fell on the mottled stone road. The short knife in her hand landed first and bounced far away from her. The facial skin that did not belong to her on her face completely lost its blood color. It was blown by the wind and turned into ashes, revealing the terrifying face with only tendons and flesh left. It looked a bit like the facial features unique to a person suffering from severe burns after being injured and demobilized.
At this point, the No. 33 team of the Faceless Killer Group was wiped out!
On the seventh day of the seventh month of the 31st year of Kaihuang, two incidents happened overnight, which made Jiuzhou feel uproar.
The first thing is that during the fighting skills of Shushan, Chen Fei, the messenger of Shushan, openly defeated Chu Xie, the third son of Bainiao Peak, who is known as the number one martial arts fanatic since the founding of Shushan Sword Sect; the second thing is that on the same night, Nalan Ruoxue, the daughter of the Lord of Mingyue Peak, was kidnapped. The hijacking was a famous faceless killer group in the world. Chen Fei launched a rescue with his own strength. Not only did he successfully rescue his companions from the devil's cave, but he also destroyed the No. 33 branch of the Faceless Killer Group, helping the eleventh Prince Tuoba Lie find the real murderer who killed the third prince Tuoba Boyi.
As soon as the two things happened, the surface peace of the imperial capital was completely broken. The princes who were fighting each other immediately understood that Tuoba Lie, who had never been concerned about politics, had already used his actions to declare that he had joined the battle for the throne, and successfully formed an alliance with the Daozong and became the agent of the Daozong in the human country. It can be imagined that in the near future, he would definitely become a strong contender for the throne, fighting with his father and mother, or half-brothers.
In the blood-stained battle for the throne, only one person can survive to the end.
...
The imperial capital Guangming Hall, Long Live, is known as the most wise ruler in ancient and modern times. The proud Duoba Gui, Tuoba Gui, sat alone in the righteous and bright Hall of Guangming. A minister in the lower corner knelt on one knee and reported to him. The five-clawed golden dragon, which symbolizes the majesty of the royal family, was vividly entrenched behind the old emperor, staring at the ministers below with his unique cold eyes. Although the five-clawed golden dragon is a dead object carved on a chair, the sculptor's technique can be called a magical craft, which is admirable. It is entrenched behind the old emperor, and at first glance it looks like a living thing, shocking people.
When the next leader finished reporting, the old emperor took a deep breath, "So, Lie'er has formed an alliance with the Daozong and is determined to join the battle for the throne."
"Report to Your Majesty, from the information you have now, Your Highness the Eleventh Prince does have this intention." The person kneeling on Your Highness respectfully reported that his clothes were different from those of ordinary ministers. He was not generous and capable. He looked like a trainer and very energetic. The last time His Majesty the Emperor summoned him here, he saw him.
"Have Lie'er and Zhen'er had any letters recently?" the old emperor continued to ask.
"Report to Your Majesty, our people monitor Prince Lie day and night, and found that His Highness and the True Prince did not have any letters."
"Are you sure?"
“Head Guarantee.”
"Zhener is getting more and more mature, and I know what my taboo is." The old emperor rarely smiled, "Wait and see, Lie's memorial will probably arrive soon. I will judge whether he is allowed to return to the court through his overview of the cause and effect of the case."
The man in the lower head moved forward and said, "Shuo Xiaochen said frankly that Prince Lie's biological mother is the imperial concubine Lingruyi, who is firmly in the position of the second wife in the harem. His wife is An Linglong, the only daughter of An. If His Highness of the Prince is determined to return to the palace, the power of the imperial concubine's side may have increased too much at once, and the situation will develop in an uncontrollable direction."
"Are you worried that Lie'er and Zhen'er have the same heart?"
"Whether it is a heart or not, the appearance of Prince Lie will break the original balance of power, because there are too many interest groups that can form close ties with him. The An family will marry his only daughter to Prince Lie, and will not have thought about it in advance."
The minister in the lower leader said righteous words and loyalty, but the old emperor waved his hand disregardly: "The balance has been broken, and Zhen'er pressed against Yuanji step by step. If I hadn't protected him from it, Yuanji would have been defeated. Now Lie's appearance is an opportunity, an opportunity to re-create balance and allow the three forces to compete for a new balance together. Therefore, the memorial reported by Lie's is very important. I will decide whether to allow him to return to the court from the content he reported to me."
"Your Majesty, you seem to have completely retracted your suspicion of Prince Lie."
"I was too worried before."
"Why did Your Majesty say this?"
"He would not hesitate to offend the imperial religion and form an alliance with Taoism. Lie'er's will to fight for the throne has been decided. In this case, he would not be willing to surrender to others, and he would not have the same intention as Zhen'er."
"Your Majesty is very clear, and the poor minister has received his teachings."
"Wait and see. The content of Lie'er's memorial determines his future. Don't let me down, my child!"
...
At the same time, the eldest prince Tuoba Yuanji was having fun in the pool water in the backyard. The prince's mansion was spacious and grand, with unique garden courtyards connected one by one, forming a dense array of stars. One of the ponds was clean, with lotus flowers blooming, frogs and cicadas roaring, singing and dancing to peace.
From time to time, huge fish tails slashed across the water, slapped the snow-white waves, and the laughter like silver bells made people feel hot.
His Highness was soaked in water, leaning against the shore, and a beautiful woman with a fishtail massaged her shoulders behind her. Her five fingers were green and tender, and her handsome face was as delicate as a skilled craftsman, naked, and a neck ring made of steel was fixed on her neck. The neck ring pattern was special. It can be seen that it was carefully polished by the skilled craftsman. An iron chain as thick as a thumb was connected to the end, which was tied to the owner like a dog.
For mermaids, being able to live like a dog is the first joy in life, and most of them cannot live to adulthood.
There were several other mermaids playing in the water, playing with the fish tails splattering snow-white waves. The sound of a clever smile was like a silver bell, and the hook made people feel itchy. The eldest prince Tuoba Yuanji loved mermaid slaves the most, and this pond was specially used to raise them. Other ministers also followed them to have fun, either go into the water to swim, or lean on the shore to talk and chat with His Royal Highness, or drink and have fun. Beauties were followed behind him, but they must not be involved in the mermaids. The mellow fragrance of wine enveloped the lotus pond.
While enjoying the fun, a disharmonious voice broke the beauty here. A guard in red hurriedly ran over, "Report..." While running, he stretched his tone and reported loudly. The voice followed the shore. The guard knelt on his knees, holding a letter in his hand: "Report to His Highness the Prince, the six hundred miles from Jinling City have arrived."
"Six hundred miles of speed?" As everyone sighed, the drum music stopped immediately.
The eldest prince Tuoba Yuanji frowned slightly at the letter in the hand of the guard. In recent times, every message coming from Jinling has not been a good thing, so he felt worried as soon as the letter arrived and had no desire to have fun.
I really hate my tenth brother. If it weren't for him pressing him step by step, his life would be a hundred times more free and comfortable than now.
"Wow!" His Highness of the Prince came out of the water, and the mermaid wrapped him in an underwear. Other aides who were vassals followed the prince to get out of the water, and their uniform movements seemed to have been trained in advance.
Standing on the shore, Tuoba Yuanji grabbed the end of the chain that tied her neck, and led it all the way, walked deep into the seat next to the pool water. After sitting down, he hung the chain on the lock of the long-designed lock, leaned back, and stepped on the mermaid's back with one foot, and the latter crawled on the ground without moving.
When Tuoba Yuanji frowned and read the letter, everyone else stood behind him, waiting with breath. The rockery and the terrace stood opposite the pool, wearing exposed dancers, musicians performed and played on the terrace. Seeing that the owner had a bad expression, they stopped and waited for the owner to give further instructions.
His Highness the prince read the letters and texts one by one. Everyone saw his eyes gradually becoming brighter, and his gloomy heart also cleared up. When His Highness the prince finished reading the letter and handed it to Shen Teng, the others couldn't wait to come forward to ask.
"Your Highness, is there good news from Jinling?"
"The letter says that the culprit who killed the third brother was caught." Tuoba Yuanji drank sake to moisten his throat, "It was the famous faceless killer group in the world. The mastermind behind the scenes has not been found yet. One thing that is certain is to buy a murderer."
"Facially Assassin Group?" When talking about these six words, the staff members took a breath, "I didn't expect that even they were dragged into the water."
At this time, Shen Teng finished reading the letter, his right hand slightly frustrated, and a ball of fire broke out. The letter burned, turned into ashes, and was blown into the wind. Then he bowed forward and said with great respect: "Your Highness, the Faceless Killer Group deliberately offered a sky-high price to the princes' heads, with the purpose of avoiding its organizations being involved in the royal disputes for no reason and being hated. Now even they are involved, which is not a good thing for us."
"Oh?" Tuoba Yuanji was still very happy when the problem was solved. After Chen Teng said this, he realized the seriousness of the problem and his face immediately became gloomy.
Chen Teng continued: "The current faceless killer group almost represents the killer rankings and the killer world. Their intervention indicates that our opponent's strength has become incredible. For the sake of this, I think your highness can only take the initiative. If you continue to wait for your opponent to continue to expand your sphere of influence, it will only become more and more unfavorable for us."
Tuoba Yuanji had a gloomy face and kicked the tender and tender mermaid away with one foot, sat up, with a little yellow eyeballs circling in his eye sockets, "What do you mean is Tuoba Zhen and the killer group all along?"
Chen Teng lowered his head and looked worried. He took off his turkey-like clothing and was full of muscles, but covered with scars of all sizes. It was obvious that he had experienced the days of licking blood at the tip of a knife: "This possibility is very high. After all, your highness, your main competitor is the tenth prince Tuoba Zhen, and the third prince's death is probably because he intends to blame us."
"In this way, the problem is really serious." Tuoba Yuanji looked at Chen Teng with help, "In accordance with Chen Aiqing's meaning, how should we deal with it now."
"I think that the first thing Your Highness needs to do is to ask your uncle to confirm that the content of Prince Lie's report has nothing to do with us; or, if the content of the report has something to do with us, it doesn't matter. Just dig down the content of the letter without missing a word and let us know the key points in advance, so that we can respond in advance." When Chen Teng spoke, the others listened quietly with serious expressions.
"I'll reply to my uncle." Prince Tuoba trusted Chen Teng very much. Deep in the wine pond and meat forest, the monks at Lingyin Temple were fasting and practicing, and stopped. Those who were with him were the civil forces headed by Chen Teng, and they were also the least supporters around Tuoba Yuanji. Compared with his younger brother, there were really few civil forces supporting Tuoba Yuanji. Except for Chen Teng, most of them were not a good guy.
