Chapter 1344 The wolf in the temple, the tiger in the forest
The King of Qi's face was pale and his voice was trembling: "Ma...Ma Zhongheng, are you really the prince's person? You... are you with me, and it's the prince's arrangement?"
Ma Zhongheng smiled and said, "Prince, there is nothing to hide at this point in the matter. Yes, I followed the prince's orders, but if I say it was the prince's person, I couldn't say it. I only obeyed the orders of the Dianshen. The Dianshen asked me to obey the prince's orders, and I would naturally act on orders!"
"Ma Zhongheng, you bastard." King Qi trembled all over because of his anger. "You despicable and shameless villain, I have spent my time trusting you very much. You... you are a traitor!"
Ma Zhongheng sighed, "Prince, it's not my fault for this matter. Speaking of it, it's not your fault. You are only blamed for being in the imperial family, and even more blamed for being a stumbling block for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne. If you were not a prince, there wouldn't be so much trouble." He shook his head: "You are in the hands of the prince from beginning to end without knowing it. Sometimes I'm worried for you. Speaking of it, you and the prince are both the princes. I really don't know why the difference between you two is so...!"
The King of Qi held the knife in his hand tightly and said sternly: "You traitor, I want to kill you!" He took two steps forward and slashed at Ma Zhongheng. Ma Zhongheng kept smiling and was not in a hurry to use the knife. When the King of Qi cut down, he waved his arms to block it and went up to meet it. The King of Qi couldn't help but retreat. Ma Zhongheng laughed and said: "I think when the prince was so old that he could already go to battle to kill the enemy. Even the King of Han who became a madman, he was the same age as you, and he was also considered a martial arts..." Looking at King of Qi jokingly, "With your skills, you want to rule the world?"
King Qi gasped and sneered: "Since you are a traitor, why did you follow us out of the city? Do you know our plan to escape from the capital, so why didn't you tell the prince?"
"The prince is very familiar with your plans." Ma Zhongheng said lightly: "Do you think there are only Wu Jingwei near the Qi Palace? You might as well tell you that there are many people hiding in the dark around the Qi Palace. You can't see them, but they know your whereabouts well. They also saw that they left the Qi Palace that night."
King Qi was stunned and said in surprise: "Since that's the case, why... why didn't they stop it?"
"Of course, this is all the meaning of the prince." Ma Zhongheng held the knife and blew the blade, relaxed and calm. "Although the prince ordered a clean treatment, I thought that you were pretty good to me, and I couldn't let you be a fool." Looking at Lu Haosheng, he smiled and said, "Changshi Lu, you are resourceful. Now you should understand the meaning of the prince?"
Lu Haosheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the prince was so scheming that he was so cruel. He didn't dare to attack the prince in the capital, so he waited for a long time and only attacked him now."
"Tongzhou is the place chosen by the prince himself." Ma Zhongheng said leisurely: "Whether the prince died in the capital or near the capital, it is of no benefit to the prince. Tongzhou is located in Xishan, a few days away from Xiguguan. The most important thing is that Tongzhou is now in chaos. Many refugees in the northwest have been wandering here. Although most of them have returned, many people still stayed to rob the family in Tongzhou. Tongzhou is also a place where fish and dragons are mixed. It is said that the Tongzhou magistrate Zhao Guangqing was still from Tianmendao. Although he was dead, Tongzhou should still have the remnants of Tianmendao...!"
The King of Qi suddenly realized and understood, "If you kill me in Tongzhou, you can push the murderer to the heads of the rioters and refugees or even the Tianmendao?"
"The prince is wise!" Ma Zhongheng smiled and said, "If it weren't for this reason, why would I have worked hard to follow you all the way to Tongzhou? Don't worry, I will leave you a whole body. After you die, you will be the prepared corpses sent over. They will be the murderer to assassinate you, and I will be the last survivor. When the government comes to me, I will tell them exactly how the assassin killed you...!"
"It's indeed extremely sinister." Lu Haosheng sighed: "The prince deliberately let us leave the capital, and Ma Zhongheng followed us. Although Qiu Daxiao was careful along the way and tried not to leave any traces, Ma Zhongheng, you must have left a mark along the way. The assassins under the prince naturally followed the marks you left."
"I just said that Lu Changshi is a smart person." Ma Zhongheng smiled and said, "Lu Changshi, you are resourceful, why didn't you join the prince's disciple? With your talent, you may not be able to get the prince's value. Following this waste, you will even lose your life. It's really unfair."
When the King of Qi heard that he was insulting himself as a waste, he gritted his teeth and trembled all over and said sternly: "Ma Zhongheng, you are despicable and shameless, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"
"God's punishment?" Ma Zhongheng shook his head and said, "I am a soldier. The soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty. The Dianshou has given me a great kindness. I will naturally repay my life." He paused and sighed, "Your Majesty, I am not intimidated. Even if I don't want to kill you, I can't help it. My family is all in Liaodong and in the hands of Dianshou. If you can't kill the prince this time, my family may die. Use your head to exchange for more than a dozen heads in our family. Do you think I have any choice?"
"You must die so badly..." King Qi clenched the knife again, "Even if I die, I will pull you."
Ma Zhongheng said: "Prince, you are not my opponent. If you are slaughtering your neck, you will suffer less. And you must not resent me. I am just following the order. If you want to blame me, blame the prince, or even... the emperor!"
"You...what do you mean?"
"The prince should not have forgotten that it was the emperor who personally issued an order to send me to the Qi palace as the escort of the royal palace." Ma Zhongheng said slowly: "Others don't know the relationship between me and the prince, don't the emperor know? Of course, the emperor knows that I am the Dianshen. He knows that the prince and Dianshen have a relationship. If I send me to your mansion, I can't even understand why the emperor arranged this way?"
King Qi shook his body and his face turned pale.
Lu Haosheng was already frowning at this time.
"Qiu Ruxue..." King Qi suddenly remembered, "Where is Qiu Ruxue? What are you... doing to him?"
Ma Zhongheng shook his head helplessly: "By the heart, Qiu Ruxue is a chivalrous man, a talent, even I admire him very much. It's a pity that he is not the prince's person, not ours, but only our enemy. I think he is dead in that forest now...!"
King Qi and Lu Haosheng were even pale.
Qiu Ruxue was their last hope, but as soon as Ma Zhongheng said this, their last glimmer of hope was shattered, and they believed that Ma Zhongheng had never told any lies.
Ma Zhongheng dared to tear his face and show his true face here, so he naturally had no worries. Since they were going to take action, it was impossible not to eliminate the most dangerous Qiu Ruxue.
King Qi, Lu Haosheng, and even Ma Zhongheng were sure that Qiu Ruxue had been killed, but Qiu Ruxue was not dead, alive, at least he was still alive now.
When he opened the body that looked like a corpse, the body made a killing move in an instant, and a quick knife was buried under his body. When he was reactionary, the quick knife had already taken action, from the bottom to the top, facing the air, and the cold light was practicing.
The sword was fast and almost difficult to dodge, but Qiu Ruxue still made an incredible reaction. His body flashed sideways. Even so, the sword light flashed by, and a sleeve separated from his body.
There is no blood.
Although Qiu Ruxue dodged quickly, the man's knife was indeed very fast, and one left sleeve was cut off by shoulder-length. However, the man obviously did not expect that Qiu Ruxue's left sleeve was empty and had no arms. The only thing that was cut off was the sleeve. The left arm no longer existed a few years ago.
While Qiu Ruxue dodged, the knife in his hand had already chopped back with his backhand. The opponent got it quickly, and his knife was faster. The opponent cut off his armless long sleeves, but his knife cut off the other party's neck.
Blood gushed out, and the person lying on the ground covered his broken neck, his body twitched, and the red blood sprayed on the snow-white snow, which was shocking.
Qiu Ruxue knew that he would hit the sword with one sword. After dodging, he did not look back. Instead, he stood up and looked at the distance, just because he had discovered that three figures flashed like ghosts not far away.
The three figures were like ghosts.
"Good sword technique!" The figure in the middle walked slowly over the snow. Qiu Ruxue saw his walking movement and his eyes twitched slightly. The other party walked calmly and calmly, but his steps seemed very light.
Qiu Ruxue held the knife tightly and stared at the man, but did not ignore the vigilance behind him. He licked blood on the blade for half his life, and had too many moments of life and death, but tonight there was a strong feeling that he might have been through before, and he was sure that there was no one behind him. Qiu Ruxue slowly took a few steps and put his back on a thick tree trunk.
He was not sure whether the other party had an archer in ambush, nor did he know if the other party had any masters who were good at hidden weapons. With the back of the big tree, the big tree became a natural protective layer to avoid being attacked by someone in the back.
The other three men approached the finished font shape, four or five steps away, and finally stopped. Qiu Ruxue saw that the three men were wearing coarse cotton jackets. At first glance, they looked like ordinary people, but the three men's eyes were very sharp, especially the man in the middle, with a national face, a burly figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were also extremely sharp, and his eyes were staring at him like a poisonous snake.
Qiu Ruxue glanced at him and said lightly: "Pretending to be a god and having poor methods, he can only do these things in the dark."
"Everyone says Qiu Ruxue is the number one swordsman in the world. He does not kill children, women, or monks. He claims to be a three-no-killer. Everyone in the world calls him Qiu Sanye, and his friends are all over the world." The man in the middle said lightly: "There are countless swordsman in the world, and not many are famous. Not only is Qiu Sanye famous, but he is also the most famous one. I have always wanted to be the first swordsman in the world, and the people in the world praised by the people in the world for a while!"
Qiu Ruxue heard that he knew his identity well, frowned, stared at the man, and asked, "Who are you?"
The man did not answer, looked left and right, and said, "You two go and help Ma Zhongheng clean up..."
When Qiu Ruxue heard this, his heart sank.
He was extremely keen. Qiu Ruxue immediately understood this sentence from the other party and suddenly felt a chill. It was not the chill brought by the cold night, but the bone-bone chill that emerged from the bone marrow.
Both of them bowed their hands and immediately turned around and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
