Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 408 Si Gu Jian: Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

Northern Qi, imperial city.

Beizhen Fusi.

A middle-aged man in a black robe was sitting in the huge room, flipping through the book in his hands.

As the sky gradually darkened, the middle-aged man's expression began to become solemn.

Soon, the middle-aged man put down the book in his hand and began to pace in the room.

This person was none other than Shen Zhong, the commander of the Northern Qi Jinyiwei and the Pacification Division.

He was also the most powerful minister of the current empress dowager.

Shen Zhong's mood at this moment became a little complicated, or to be more precise, a little confused.

Because in recent times, he found that the situation in the court was somewhat different from usual.

Although he couldn't clearly feel what was going on now.

After all, he has been in the officialdom for decades and has long developed a keen sense.

Therefore, Shen Zhong recently smelled a hint of danger.

After a while.

Just as Shen Zhong was pacing in the room with his hands behind his back, a young man hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Sir, I have something to report!"

However, Shen Zhong frowned and shouted angrily: "Get out!"

"What did I say before? Remember to knock when you come in!"

After being scolded, the young man hurried out again and started knocking on the door.

Shen Zhong then nodded and said, "Come in."

After the young man came in, he immediately bowed and said, "Sir, there is news from Nanqing just now."

Shen Zhong waved his hand and said, "Bring it here."

The young man immediately took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Shen Zhong.

After Shen Zhong took it, he waved his hand, indicating that the other party could leave.

Only after the young man left did Shen Zhong open the envelope.

Then, when Shen Zhong looked at the contents of the letter, his expression changed instantly.

He looked straight at the contents of the letter and said in surprise:
"how is this possible?"

"How is this possible?"

Shen Zhong was completely stunned.

If this letter had not been sent by the person he trusted most, he would definitely have questioned the contents of the letter.

Because the letter said that the Emperor of Nanqing was assassinated in the palace.

Moreover, those murderers were actually sent by Northern Qi.

How is this possible?
When did Northern Qi send assassins to Southern Qing to assassinate Emperor Qing?
Why didn't he know?
Moreover, when did such a powerful assassin appear in Northern Qi, who was able to run to the palace of Nanqing and kill people?

There is a grand master in the palace of Nanqing.

Facing such a powerful opponent, he was able to kill Emperor Qing. One can imagine how powerful he is.

Therefore, the content of this letter is so shocking that it is simply unbelievable.

However, if this is true, it would be a great thing for them, Northern Qi.

The emperor of Qing is dead, so the country must be in chaos. If we send people to attack Qing at this time, it will definitely be more effective.

Moreover, if you put yourself in their shoes.

If the Qing Kingdom settles down, they will definitely send troops to attack the Northern Qi.

After all, no matter whether the assassins were sent by Northern Qi or not, the people of Qing would definitely blame them for this matter.

At that time, they will definitely send troops to attack Northern Qi.

Therefore, this matter needs to be planned in advance.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhong shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone come." Immediately afterwards, the servants in the mansion walked in quickly.

"My lord, what do you want?"

Shen Zhong waved his hand and said, "Go and call Lord Chen, Lord Li, Lord Zhang and the others to come over to discuss the matter."

"Tell them that if they don't come tonight, then don't come again."

The servant nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."

Afterwards, Shen Zhong was lost in thought in the room.

……

In an ordinary thatched house near Dongyi City.

An old man with white hair was sitting under an oil lamp, repeatedly polishing the long sword in his hand.

Soon, the old man put away his sword, and the inner energy in his hand surged out, shattering the cloth in his hand.

Then he slowly stood up and walked out of the thatched hut.

This person is none other than the guardian of Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian.

Several months ago, Si Gu Jian was invited by Wu Zhu to go to Nan Qing to meet the mysterious grandmaster.

Originally, Si Gu Jian thought that the grandmaster's strength was not that strong, at most slightly stronger than him.

If they really can't beat him, they can borrow Wuzhu's strength. If the two of them work together, they will definitely be able to beat him.

The result was something he had never expected.

This mysterious grandmaster was so powerful that he had never seen anyone like him in his life.

Moreover, later on, even though he and Wuzhu both exerted their full strength, they were still no match for this person, which was incredible.

If he hadn't been so knowledgeable, he would have known that if he continued to fight, his life would be in danger. If he had run away at the critical moment, he would probably have lost his life as well.

In the past month, Si Gu Jian was still terrified every time he thought of this incident.

It is because of this that Si Gu Jian has not dared to go anywhere in recent times and can only stay in this place.

"call……"

Si Gu Jian took a deep breath and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Just then, a carrier pigeon flew from not far away and landed on Si Gu Jian's shoulder.

Si Gu Jian reached out, untied the letter from the pigeon's foot, and opened it to take a look.

Immediately afterwards, his expression changed and he immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"How can such a strong and abnormal person exist in this world?"

The reason why Si Gu Jian did this was entirely because of the content of this letter.

The letter only said that a big event happened in Qing Kingdom a few days ago.

A group of assassins suddenly appeared in the Qing Palace and assassinated their emperor.

Then, in such a heavily guarded palace, the assassins actually succeeded and killed Emperor Qing directly.

That’s right, Emperor Qing was killed!

He was killed by an assassin inside the palace, in front of the grand master.

When Si Gu Jian saw this message, he was completely stunned.

He had been to the Nanqing Palace, which was heavily guarded and had a grandmaster in charge. Even if he went there himself, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage, let alone assassinate the emperor.

Moreover, the letter also said that the assassin was sent by Northern Qi.

This time, Si Gu Jian was even more confused.

When did Northern Qi become so powerful that it could send such a strong assassin to kill people in the palace?

If he didn't trust the person who came, Si Gu Jian would never believe this matter.

After a moment, Si Gu Jian looked at the letter in his hand, and suddenly thought of something, and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that person has taken action!"
