The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 114 The Assassinated Prince of the South

The bright moon hangs obliquely in the night sky, the evening wind blows slowly, and the night is as cool as water.

Just when everyone was about to witness the second sword fight between Zhao Qing and Ye Gucheng, outside the Zen temple, there was a sharp sound of hooves approaching from far away.

A knight swept into the temple like a whirlwind, and a pair of shining eyes glanced at everyone.His eyes paused on Jin Jiuling's body, and finally fell on Ye Gucheng, whose sword was unsheathed.

The eyes of Jin Jiuling and others also lit up. They had already recognized that the clothes on this knight who rushed over were exactly the clothes of the guards of the Pingnan Palace, and he was undoubtedly a good guard among the guards.

"City Lord Ye!" The master guard saluted Ye Gucheng, and reported in a deep voice: "The little prince has encountered an assassin and is dying. The prince was furious and sent guards and experts to search inside and outside the palace, and please go back to preside over the overall situation. "

Everyone was surprised that Ye Gucheng had just left the palace not long before Nan Wang's son was attacked by an assassin.

You know, there are more than 800 guards in the Pingnan Palace, everyone is equipped with strong bows and crossbows, and there are a large number of recruited masters from the world; The strength of a master.

Under such a tight defense, the assassin was able to almost succeed, one can imagine the high level of martial arts.It's no wonder that the guards who rushed over didn't go to greet Jin Jiuling, the head of the palace, but directly asked Ye Gucheng, the world's top expert, for help.

This matter is not like the embroidered thieves who stole the [-] Dendrobium pearls of the palace, but it hurt the lives of the royal family and nobles, and seriously offended the face of the imperial court.

After this incident happened, Ye Gucheng, as the master of Nanwang's son, was deeply worshiped by the palace on weekdays, and it was absolutely difficult to ignore it.It seems that the fight between him and Zhao Qing should not go on.

Hearing the guard's report, Ye Gucheng frowned deeply and closed his eyes for a while.He opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Qing with apologetic eyes, and asked the guard, "How is your son's injury?"

The guard had a mournful expression on his face, and replied truthfully: "The little prince was stabbed in the right chest by the opponent, and the injury was very serious. If he didn't have martial arts, I'm afraid it would be difficult to save him."

"Have you seen the appearance of the assassin?"

Jin Jiuling's face was heavy, and he was also partly responsible for the protection and dispatch of the palace guards.

However, no one expected that when he heard the news, he would feel a little bit of joy in his heart.

After all, after the assassination of Nan Wang's son, he will take up a lot of the original power to track down the embroidered robber in a short period of time. After a long time, the evidence pointing to him will fade a lot.

At the same time, it's best to try to link the assassin with the Embroidered Thief as much as possible, so that he can completely get rid of the suspicion of time.

Seeing the hesitation on the guard's face, Jin Jiuling hurriedly asked: "The few present here are all seniors and masters on the right path, so don't worry about leaking secrets. Tell me the characteristics of the assassin, and friends can help you identify it. "

Ye Gucheng looked at the guard and said, "You tell me. Jin Jiuling's problem is also my problem."

The guard nodded and described: "The other party is dressed in a thin white shirt. He is probably a thin man with an iron mask on his face and an elegant long sword in his hand."

"At that time, the little prince was reading a book in the yard. The assassin broke in through the main gate of the yard openly. He waited until the little prince drew his sword to guard and many guards rushed around before starting to attack."

"With just one move, he killed seven or eight of our brothers, forcibly broke through the surrounding defenses, slashed across the face of the young prince with a sword, and then stabbed the right chest of the young prince, and then killed and wounded dozens of people, broke through and died. Going, it's just...it's like entering no one's land."

"You said just now that the prince's face was scratched?" Ye Gucheng's face changed slightly, and his star-like eyes suddenly lit up, staring closely at the guard's eyes.

Taoist Mu, Lu Xiaofeng and the others were surprised when they heard Ye Gucheng's question, why they didn't care about the injury on the young prince's right chest, but asked about the scratch on his face.

Only Zhao Qing on the side knew the reason.The assassin who appeared suddenly scratched his face before he stabbed Prince Nan's right chest, probably on purpose, maybe because he recognized Prince Nan's appearance.

The plan to usurp the throne of Pingnan Palace and Ye Gucheng is based on the fact that the prince of Nanwang has exactly the same appearance as the current emperor.The face of Nan Wang Shizi was deliberately scratched, it is hard not to remind people of this.

Has that superb martial arts assassin discovered the hidden conspiracy in Pingnan Palace?Did he know about this beforehand?Has his purpose been achieved?
Both Zhao Qing and Ye Gucheng were puzzled at this moment.

More importantly, who is the identity of this assassin?Who is the top player in the world?
Zhao Qing knew that Ye Gucheng's heart must be in a mess now, and he was no longer suitable for sword fighting.She threw back the long sword in her hand to Layman Gu Song, guessing the identity of the assassin in her heart, thinking endlessly.

The prince of the Southern Prince was assassinated. This was a situation that did not appear in the original plot. Obviously, there was a butterfly effect.The white-clothed swordsman has a thin body and extremely high swordsmanship.Who could he be?

Zhao Qing suddenly thought of the disguise modification technique learned from Sikong Zhaixing, coupled with the bone shrinking skill that can change the body shape, the range of assassins has been greatly expanded.

But having said that, if the appearance of Prince Nan is destroyed, Ye Gucheng will have to give up his plan. After recovering his mentality, he should transform into a swordsman wholeheartedly.

When Zhao Qing was thinking, Jin Jiuling also pretended to be thinking, but in fact he was overjoyed.

There is nothing special about the assassin's body shape, and it can be directed to Aunt Gongsun's body, saying that she can change her appearance and change to a one-handed sword.

After all, she has so many identities as a female butcher, peach blossom bee, five poisonous lady, and grandma Xiong, and it is quite reasonable to add an assassin's identity.

I saw Jin Jiuling took out an exquisite folding fan, turned it around a few times, and then said in a deep voice:
"The assassin knows the location of the young prince, and even feels like he is in the middle of no one in the palace. Is it possible that he has grasped the topography of the palace in advance and found out the martial arts practiced by the guards of the palace?"

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Jin Jiuling, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, he must have obtained relevant information in advance. Although I don't know the specific defense of the palace, but with the rumored powerful strength of the Pingnan Palace, even a top expert in the world is also very It’s hard to come and go like he does.”

Jin Jiuling nodded, and said: "Perhaps masters at the level of Master Ye and Miss Zhao are capable of doing this, but looking at the world, where can I find a third such master? My martial arts are not bad." It’s good, but it’s definitely not going to happen.”

Taoist Mu's eyes flickered, Jin Jiuling's judgment was reasonable, but he underestimated the number of masters in the world.If there is no Ye Gucheng in the palace, he is fully capable of making a breakthrough.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It suddenly occurred to me that the embroidered thieves recently stole the jewels from the palace, maybe someone went to the palace first to look after the terrain for him."

Jin Jiuling sighed, and said with a sad face: "In this case, there will be at least two spies who betrayed the information in the palace, really..."

The guards of the Pingnan Palace had always been treated very well, so it was really surprising that there were two spies in a row.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, and said: "No one can be sure whether those two spies are the same person."

Jin Jiuling slapped the fan and said, "If the spies are the same person, then..."

Jin Jiuling didn't say the last words, but everyone present already understood what he meant, and most of them also had suspicions: Could it be that today's white-clothed sword assassin is the recent embroidered thief?

Ye Gucheng beside him couldn't help but nodded.He also agrees with the conclusion that the assassin is related to the Embroidered Bandit.

In itself, the two are very close in time, so they are quite related.

Furthermore, as a master of swordsmanship, he knows very well that an embroidery needle can also use excellent swordsmanship.In other words, under normal circumstances, the stitching method of embroidery needles can be converted into a corresponding sword method, rather than the knife method, stick method, etc.

Maybe the Embroidered Thief committed all these crimes with the ultimate goal of Prince Nan.

Involved in a lot of robbery cases. Although he participated in the assassination of the royal family and nobles, it was inevitable to report it to the court. The secret of the palace.

This is to make the people in the palace have to let him go, even help him get rid of the charges, and use the secret as a threat to fly away.

Ye Gucheng couldn't make up his mind about it, he glanced at Jin Jiuling who was discussing with Lu Xiaofeng, his eyes kept changing.

On the side, Jin Jiuling twirled the fan, and said to Lu Xiaofeng: "Although Ni's deduction has given me a lot of hints, I still want to say, you don't need to get involved in this kind of thing!" He shook his head.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why can't I participate?"

Jin Jiuling said indifferently: "Because this case is too difficult, and you don't want to take care of it at all!"

Lu Xiaofeng said dissatisfied: "Who said I don't want to take care of it? I just want to take care of it for you."

Jin Jiuling said: "I bet you can't solve this case!"

Lu Xiaofeng slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, whatever you want to bet on, I'll bet with you!"

Everyone on the field laughed.Lu Xiaofeng drank some wine and was provoked, so he agreed to such a troublesome matter.

Ye Gucheng glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "I also have a part in dealing with the assassins."

But at the same time, they are also curious, if Lu Xiaofeng, the no.
