I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 54 Global Observer

Life is like a play, but a play can be repeated one day. Once a person makes a mistake, it is difficult to start over.

Zuo Baihu of the Shenjiying, a crude warrior who was fed by the emperor but whose monthly salary was not as much as that of the doorman of Shuhuang Pavilion, became a hurdle that Qin Dengming could not overcome in his life.

Qin Dengming once sent people to investigate the guards around the prince. Apart from the old eunuch whose strength was unknown, Zuo Zixiong should not have been there. The warrior simply met the prince's carriage on the way back to the capital and volunteered to escort the prince back to the capital.

How much do you make a month? Why are you so ambitious?

The last scene of Qin Dengming's life was frozen in Shuhuang Pavilion.

That day, Zuo Zixiong withstood a sword attack from the guardian Bai Luo, and then used his unique double-sword skill - Hundred Slashes - on him.

Zuo Zixiong was already a master of the Tongmai realm in martial arts, and his Hundred Slashes move was his most powerful trick. If the prince had not ordered him not to damage the Mingci Qin, Zuo Zixiong would not have been so frustrated for so long, not daring to use his signature skill.

Qin Dengming suddenly became alarmed and instinctively felt that something was wrong. Before he turned around, he used the posting method to replace himself with the puppet that was inseparable from him.

But he forgot that the spell of posting has a limit on the damage transferred. Once the trauma exceeds the limit, the caster will have to bear all the excess damage.

Zuo Zixiong's Hundred Slashes were like a gust of wind that was everywhere in the bitter cold land, cutting Qin Dengming with each blow.

At this moment, Qin Dengming and the puppet beside him were like goods hanging on a weighing rod and a weighing hook.

Zuo Zixiong's Hundred Splitting Slashes were like a weight that kept increasing in weight. When hundreds of sword lights penetrated into his body, Qin Dengming's beam could no longer maintain its balance. The puppet beside him exploded with a loud bang, from the inside out, into countless broken limbs and fragments, scattered everywhere.

Without Yanou to take the damage and suffering the backlash, how could Qin Dengming be a match for Zuo Fenggou?
In front of him, Zuo Zixiong used a knife to defend against Bai Luo, and held the other knife in his mouth, tightening it with steel teeth. Then he freed one hand to pull out a new knife from behind and block Qin Dengming's attack.

The moment Protector Bai and Master Qin Xiang encountered an obstacle, Zuo Zixiong suddenly twisted his neck, and the third sword in his mouth cut Qin Dengming's throat without any hindrance.

In the morgue, after Xu Qing had prayed for the souls of all the Tianxin Sect rebels, he turned his attention to the body of a prince's guard that had been cut in half.

The body had just been sewn up by Wang Lingyuan, and he had not yet had time to return the remains.

Xu Qing reached out and touched the other person's body, and turned the pages of the Sutra of Salvation, and some scenes from a different perspective from Qin Dengming appeared.

On the official road to and from Linhe, guards followed the convoy closely, and on the road there were dusty and tired soldiers from the Shenji Camp.

The other party said that they were hunting down the evil leader of the Tianxin Sect and had come here. Now the whereabouts of the evil leader were unknown, and they were afraid that he would alarm the Crown Prince and cause harm to him, so they had to fulfill their duty as a subject to protect him all the way.

Upon hearing this, the prince lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "I am traveling incognito. How can you tell my identity?"

Zuo Zixiong was a man of integrity, and he didn't know how to spell out the word "euphemistic," so he said bluntly, "Everyone knows that His Highness is on tour. Why bother to argue?"

From then on, the prince never spoke a word to Zuo Zixiong again, nor did he ask anyone to lead a horse for him to ride. He just let him follow the carriage and walk all the way.

When they arrived at Linhe, the guard who was beheaded had been guarding outside the residence where the prince was staying, commonly known as guarding the gate.

However, this guard also had his own entertainment activities in private. Xu Qing quickly skipped over the scene where he was looking at pornographic pictures and comforting himself.

After finishing the detailed work at hand, the guard took out a piece of yellow paper with a faint smell of incense and wrote down the detailed itinerary of the prince's visit to Linhe with charcoal.

Xu Qing was not surprised. He learned from the guard's life that the other party was not just a simple guard of the prince from the beginning to the end, but a spy who had long been bribed by the palace eunuchs.

However, the two had only a single line of communication from the beginning to the end, and Xu Qing did not know who was the person behind the scenes who really wanted to monitor the prince's every move.

After the guard finished writing the report on the prince's trip, he used a fire stick to light the paper with a strange fragrance. Xu Qing saw the ash-like words glow red in the air for a moment, and then disappeared in the wind.

It’s really hard to be a prince!

The scene shifted, and they were back at Shuhuang Pavilion. It was still Bai Luo, Zuo Zixiong, and the others shouting and fighting, with only this guard standing in the middle. Xu Qing could foresee that if the other party continued to meddle, he would definitely not be cut in half. Thinking of this, he became really curious about how this guard had died.

In the picture, Qin Dengming's throat was cut again. Protector Bai Luo looked up at the old eunuch beside the prince, then turned back to look at Zuo Mad Dog, knowing that the opportunity had been lost.

He no longer wanted to fight, but casually took out a red bullet, stuck it into the strings, and threw the Mingci Qin into the air above the hall.

"Ming Cicada Lute!" Miss Han Meng exclaimed on the stage.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zixiong was about to chase Bai Luo, but had to stop halfway and turn around to protect the prince's gift of a zither.

At this moment, the Mingci Qin thrown into the air suddenly exploded, and countless thunder, fire and smoke burst out. Zuo Zixiong reacted quickly, immediately lifted up his robe to cover his face, and his body was like a spinning shuttle, rushing back in an unreasonable trajectory.

The guards upstairs were still trying to take advantage of the situation. Seeing that the Tianxin Sect was doomed, he prepared to work together with his colleagues to repel the enemy.

It was at this point that the guard suddenly felt his legs were out of control and his upper body flew into the air. When half of his body fell, something soupy and sticky flowed out.

The miserable appearance was like a toad crushed by a wheel, with all the organs and blood hidden in the abdominal cavity squeezed out.

The guard struggled and screamed on the ground. The old eunuch standing beside him acted as if he had done something insignificant. He casually tossed the knife back to the stunned guard and said with a smile, "We are tired of watching you act. We might as well help you get rid of it as soon as possible."

A person who is cut in half will not die immediately; he will remain conscious for a while.

The guard was terrified, his body trembling as he asked, "How did you know I was the insider?"

The old eunuch ignored him and instead waved to a blood-soaked yamen runner in the corridor to come over.

"What's your name?"

"Your Excellency, I am Zhang Jun."

In the morgue, Xu Qing took a long time to come back to his senses.

As an outsider at this time, he was actually the person who knew the most about the assassination of the prince.

From the beginning to the end of the case, he saw everything, whether it was from the perspective of the Tianxin Sect rebels or what happened in the prince's camp.

"There's also someone in Cuiyun Tower who looks like a eunuch, but that person's voice doesn't match the old eunuch beside the Crown Prince."

The more Xu Qing thought about it, the more interesting it became. It was just the Crown Prince's tour, but it could cause so many incidents. It was a pity that the Tianxin Sect's guardian Bai Luo was so disappointing.

The prince is right in front of you, why did you run away?

How can you accomplish the great cause of rebellion if you are so hesitant and timid?

Xu Qing criticized the other party's actions in his heart, but in fact he felt sorry that the high-quality corpse that was right in front of him flew away again.

There is nothing more regrettable in the world than this.

While Xu Qing was praying for the souls of all the corpses, the examination hall next door was also announcing the results of the Tongsheng examination.

"Junior brother, don't you want to check the list?"

"Go! Brother, if you have nothing to do, why not come with me? After we finish looking at the list, I'll treat you to a leisurely evening at the brothel!"
