The Shadowless God of the Six Doors

Chapter 257 Assassination
When Zhang Wenjin was about to leave the Western Region branch of Six Gates, Ximenxiu stopped him and took him aside.

"Brother Zhang, there is something I don't know how to tell you." Ximenxiu said hesitantly.

"Master Ximen, just open your mouth." Zhang Wenjin noticed something wrong with Ximenxiu's expression at this time.

Ximenxiu hesitated and said again and again: "Forget it, let me tell you directly, sooner or later you have to know. Before the worship of the Mountain Sect, you were knocked off the cliff by the leader of the Mountain Blessing Sect, Guo Gongming, and fell into the river. We will calm down the worship. After the Shanjiao rebelled, they led people to search along the river for three days, but they didn't see you, so they thought you were dead.

We reported the list of meritorious personnel, and your name was included in the list of those who died in battle. For this reason, the emperor specially issued an imperial decree to ratify you as the third-rank loyal and brave general.This official position is only posthumous, without real power, but after all, you are the only person who was awarded this position while alive.So now the imperial court knows that you are still alive and does not know how to arrange it.

In addition, the six doors have removed your name from the list and included it in the list of fallen heroes.You may cause a commotion when you return to the capital again, so you have to be prepared. "

Zhang Wenjin was dumbfounded after hearing this, and didn't know what to say.Looking at Ximenxiu, if he was really named the third-rank loyal and brave general, he would have already surpassed Ximenxiu in terms of official position.Ximenxiu worked hard in Six Doors for many years before he got the chance to be dispatched to the Western Regions as a sub-branch envoy. His official position was only fourth rank, and he could command the policemen of Six Doors in the Western Regions.

Thanks to Guo Gongming, this time the siege of Baishan Sect actually allowed him to get the position of the third-rank general. Although it is only a false position and has no real power, the name is very bluffing.Officials crush people to death at the first level, and ordinary officials will bow their heads when they see Zhang Wenjin.

The bosses of the three major powers in the capital are only third-rank officials, except of course Luo Lao of the Beiya. Although he is a third-rank official, his power in the court is half a rank higher than that of the official third-rank cultural relics officials, because he has an unusual relationship with the emperor.

There are not a few people like Mr. Xiang Luo in the capital. Although the official position is lower, no one who knows the details dares to neglect.Therefore, the capital has also become a place where crouching tigers hide dragons. It's just that these tigers are fake tigers, but they really can't be messed with.

"Thank you for reminding me, my lord. I will be careful when I go back this time." Zhang Wenjin said.

"Brother Zhang, you and I hit it off. Based on my many years of experience in officialdom, you should try to keep a low profile when you go back this time. Before your position is finalized, don't be in the limelight. Bear with it if you can!" Ximen Xiuyu said earnestly.

Ximenxiu also got a lot of benefits in the Battle of the Mountain Blessing Sect. In addition to the skills of the Mountain Blessing Sect, he also had a lot of gold and silver, but it was not as much as the military, but it was still a lot.All of this is thanks to Zhang Wenjin. If he hadn't destroyed the Mountain Worship Sect's lair, how could it be possible to move the Mountain Worship Sect down? It's not the first day they have dealt with the Mountain Worship Sect.

On the contrary, Zhang Wenjin got nothing but a false official position, so it was a pity that Ximen Xiu became Zhang Wenjin. In addition, he also wanted to make friends with Zhang Wenjin, so he passed on his experience in the officialdom to Zhang Wenjin.

It’s just that he was wrong. Zhang Wenjin is not him. Ximenxiu can treat guests and give gifts in the officialdom and climb up through the back door, but Zhang Wenjin can’t. Firstly, Zhang Wenjin doesn’t want to do this, and because even if Zhang Wenjin wants to keep a low profile on his enemies, he can’t. will not allow.

"Okay, thank you Master Ximen for reminding me. I will keep it in mind. Farewell!" Zhang Wenjin bid farewell to Ximenxiu and left for the capital.

The mansion of General Qianniuwei in the capital.

"General, it's not good. I heard that Zhang Wenjin is alive again and is on his way back to Beijing." Li Cundao hurriedly entered the General's Mansion to report.

"What are you panicking about? Isn't he just a loyal and brave general of the third rank who is still alive?" Qianniuwei General Li Xingguo glanced at Li Cundao and said coldly.

"General, what do you mean..." Li Cundao heard some tricks from Li Xingguo's mouth.

"It's nothing interesting. Since the person is back, it's better not to come back, so that the emperor can handle it, and everyone can handle it. Otherwise, there will be an extra loyal and brave general of the third rank out of thin air. Who will arrange the position? Don't you think so? "Li Xingguo said while tasting tea.

"So, the higher-ups mean they don't want him to come back?!" Li Cundao speculated.

Li Xingguo was stunned, and said: "I didn't say that, but the emperor is quite embarrassed. Whether to withdraw the title of the general is still in doubt. I don't know what will happen."

"That's the case, the subordinates know what to do. I'll make arrangements now." Li Cundao bowed and saluted.

"I didn't tell you to do anything, you can do it yourself!" Li Xingguo continued to drink tea after finishing speaking.

Li Cundao was stunned for a moment, then backed out with a smile.

Zhang Wenjin came all the way to the capital, the sky was getting dark, and he came to a village called Shuangshui Town.The town of Shuangshui got its name from the two big rivers that flow through it.

Before leaving, Ximenxiu gave Zhang Wenjin a lot of gold and silver, worth a thousand taels.The money was originally used as an investment, and when Zhang Wenjin became prosperous, he could be regarded as relying on a big tree; if Zhang Wenjin died on the way, the 1000 taels of silver would be considered as repaying Zhang Wenjin's favor, so as to avoid karma and delay own state of mind.

Zhang Wenjin stayed in a high-end inn and asked for a Tianzi-brand room. After washing, he ordered a pot of wine, four dishes and one soup for a meal.I was too tired from traveling these few days, and after the meal was removed, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a figure came to the window like a civet cat. Seeing that there was no one around, he pried open the window with a knife and jumped into the house.

He tiptoed towards the big bed where Zhang Wenjin was lying.Approaching the bed, the figure slashed at Zhang Wenjin on the bed like a civet cat jumping at a mouse.

"what!"

Zhang Wenjin suddenly felt a pain in his chest in his sleep, and immediately opened his eyes, only to see a figure like a thin monkey swaying in front of his eyes, and he was startled.The chest was slashed.

Seeing that Zhang Wenjin was awakened, the thin monkey hastily raised his knife and struck at the top of Zhang Wenjin's head again.

Zhang Wenjin kicked the thin monkey right under the ribs, and the thin monkey screamed and was kicked out, hitting the wall of the house, spitting blood.Seeing that Zhang Wenjin couldn't be killed with a knife, the thin monkey jumped out of the window.

Zhang Wenjin was in a cold sweat from shock. If he hit his head with the knife, his life would be gone. It was too negligent. Thanks to his golden silk soft armor and his nine-turn golden body, otherwise, even if he couldn't be killed by the knife, he would have died was battered.

The assassin was stealthy, and retreated when he missed a hit. When Zhang Wen came in to the window, the thin monkey had disappeared.
