Vol 2 Chapter 19: Morning assembly

Chapter 250
The arrow turned into an afterimage in the darkness, Xu Qi'an couldn't catch it with his eyesight, but his powerful mental power locked the light blue arrow.
The Refining God Realm is the small pinnacle of the warrior's combat power, this is not to say, the warrior of this realm has an ultra-sensitive intuition for danger.
When you reach the realm of refining the gods, you basically say goodbye to the fate of being ambushed, attacked, and attacked.
Sitianjian’s magic weapon military crossbow can shoot and kill the weapon of Refining God Realm!
Xu Qi'an immediately judged the base of the opponent's weapon, because he also had such a magic weapon.
Subconsciously, he wanted to leap away from the horse, avoiding arrows.
"No, my little mare can't die here..."
The thought flashed, and he suddenly changed his mind. He put his right hand on his back. Accompanied by the clear sound of sharp blade scabbing, he backhanded and cut back, cutting off the arrow accurately.
Wow... In the slight noise of the sliding tiles, two men in black jumped up from the roof, one to the left and one to the right, pinching Xu Qi'an.
They were holding standard long knives in their hands, and the hob gang distorted the air and wanted to cut Xu Qi'an and the horse together.
"drive!"
Perceiving the crisis, Xu Qi'an pinched the horse's belly in advance, prompting the beloved little mare to run forward, avoiding the pinching attack of the two.
At the same time, he jumped up from his horse and settled on the roof of a restaurant lightly.
"boom!"
The blades of the two men in black cut into the air, cutting deep knife marks on the ground.
Refining God Realm....... Xu Qi'an glanced down and made a judgment in his heart.
What made him even more concerned was that the man in black hiding in the alley in front of him was probably better than God Refining.
Strategic retreat!
Here is the inner city. There are guards patrolling, and the five guards of the imperial city take turns patrolling. These three killers cannot stay for too long. The time left for them is more limited than the time left for the national football team.
As long as I don't fight, they will not be able to take me in a short time, they will retreat on their own, and when that time they will immediately use the Prospective Qi technique, bring the guard to hunt three people, and reverse the situation.
At this time, Xu Qi'an once again had a picture in his mind. The long figure in black appeared strangely behind him and hit him in the back of the head with a punch.
Fuck, when did he appear behind me... Xu Qi'an's body was faster than his brain, and he dived instinctively and jumped off the roof.
At the same time, a fist broke through the air behind the ear, exploding like thunder.
boom!
The air machine wrapped in the fist blasted a rippling air ring in the air.
One shot failed, and the master seemed very surprised. He couldn't think that this bronze gong, who had just entered the realm of refining God, was so sharp.
Xu Qi'an had just landed, and he was greeted by two knives from the realm of refining God.
Ding Ding..... He swung his knife to open the two hacked knives, and after landing, he fled quickly.
Moving on the roof is too dangerous, so clever use of obstacles such as alleys and houses is a safer method.
But before he ran a few steps, the sound of breaking air quickly approached, and the picture of the man in black attacked automatically in his mind.
Xu Qi'an gritted his teeth, twisted his waist, turned around and chopped.
Ding!
The black gold long knife slashed on the fist, bursting out dazzling sparks. Xu Qian's right hand cracked, and his legs slipped out for more than ten meters. The thick soles broke away from the shoe body in the crack of thorns.
Sixth-rank martial artist, with bronze skin and iron bones.
Despite expectations, Xu Qi'an still sank.
The messenger behind me knows my level, so the killer sent can almost kill me...At the same time, he also knows my walking route, so he ambushes on the only way.
Who is going to kill me?
Now I don’t have time to think so much, because the attack of two masters in the refinement of the gods immediately followed. The three of them are obviously a small team that cooperates with each other. They are led by the bronze-skin and iron-bones, and the two gods are assisted. close.
Within fifty strokes, I would die... Xu Qi'an flashed this terrible consciousness.
He halted his figure hastily, ignoring the slash of the one on the left, and made a posture that he wanted to die with the one on the right, but the strange thing was that the one on the right frankly ended up with him, while the one on the left who could obviously attack received it. Knife back to defense.
Xu Qi'an suddenly turned around and slashed to the man in black on the left, just hitting the blade he was blocking.
Puff...The long black man on the right pierced Xu Qi'an's left shoulder.
"cut!"
Xu Qi'an cursed secretly.
His real goal is the man in black on the left, and the man in black on the right is just doing the same thing, but the other party is also in the spirit of refining, and he has noticed the crisis in advance.
Stealing chickens won't lose rice.
Xu Qi'an kicked the man in black on the right.
At this time, the master of the Copperskin and Iron Bone Realm had already culled in an instant, his fist gathered energy and slammed Xu Qi'an fiercely in the chest.
Bang!
There was the sound of something exploding in Xu Qi'an's chest. The next moment, he seemed to be hit by a heavy truck.
"Cough cough cough..."
Steady Xu Qi'an coughed up bleeding froth, and his chest burst was a bronze gong assigned by the gongmen yamen, and Song Qing's heart shield.
Under the double defense, he blocked the full blow of the copper-skinned and iron-boned master and saved the dog's life.
"Standard weapons, Sitianjian's magic weapon crossbow, and you dare to kill people in the street in the inner city. You are the dead men raised by some big man."
As he spoke, he glanced around his eyes calmly.
The three men in black didn't accept Xu Qi'an's words, and they didn't realize that they were villains at all. They rushed over with perseverance.
Xu Qi'an turned around and ran, drilling into the narrow alley on the right.
The three men in black chased into the alley and saw Xu Qi'an standing at the end of the alley, the sharp and unparalleled long knife had already retracted its scabbard.
"Why didn't you run away?" the killer of the copperskin and iron bone realm asked.
The voice was hoarse and disguised.
"I can't run away, so I plan to kill you here." Xu Qi'an squinted, satisfied with the width of the alley, allowing only one person to pass.
With one cut, he has only one chance.
The master of the Bronze Skin and Iron Bone Realm frowned, concentrating on the surroundings, and did not catch the footsteps of the guards and the patrol soldiers.
But Xu Qi'an's self-confidence made him instinctively vigilant.
bluff?
At this time, he saw the bronze gong who had just entered the realm of refining the gods, and slowly put his right hand on the handle of the knife.
Focus a little bit and reach the top.
All emotions fall, all qi is restrained, just like when a tsunami comes, the sea will first ebb.
At this moment, the three men in black had warning signs, and their intuition from the Refining God Realm told them: danger, danger, danger...
Without hesitation, they followed Wu Fu's instinct and planned to exit the alley. But at this moment, a piercing eardrum sounded, and a roar of vibrating spirit sounded.
The consciousness of the three of them fell into chaos for an instant, and they lost control of their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, they heard a sound of unsheathing as clear as a dragon ming.
The assassin of the copper-skinned iron-bone realm was the first to break free from the awe of the lion roar, even when he saw a thin line of sword light coming towards him.
He had only time to cross his arms, pump his energy and muscles, and resist with his indestructible body.
.........
"Patter."
A bronze gong in the Qi state walked swiftly on the roof, following the traces of destruction, he found the alley.
He leaned down and looked into the alley, and saw the four people who were facing each other. The three men in black stood motionless. Opposite them, Xu Qi'an, who was holding a knife, was breathing heavily, sweating, and wisps of steam rising from the back of his head. .
"it's here!"
Tong Gong yelled, holding a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other, jumping into the alley and standing beside Xu Qi'an.
The two gongs on the adjacent ridges then came and entered the alley.
"Master Xu, are you all right."
The patrol team of the trio greeted them with concern. They felt it, but did not hear the heartbeat of the three men in black, and judged that the killers had died.
"It's a little hurt, it's not in the way."
Xu Qi'an was panting. Before the three colleagues arrived, he had taken Dali pills and his physical strength was slowly recovering, but he had to rest for another quarter of an hour if he wanted to resume walking.
The sword sent by Jian Zheng is a perfect match with Heaven and Earth.
The three gongs slowly nodded and looked at the people in black. They were able to force Master Xu, who had just entered the realm of refinement, into such embarrassment. One of them must be in the realm of refinement.
At this time, noisy and dull footsteps came, and a fifty-man Yu-sword guard rushed over.
"Master Xu, you first go back to the Yamen for healing, and these three will be handled by us."
The talking gong went out of the alley, and ordered the Yudao guard who came over, saying: "You Mr. Xu back to the guard's office, leaving ten people to assist the officer in handling the body."
The little head of the Yudaowei clasped his fist and said, "Yes."
After Xu Qian left, the three gongs returned to the alley. When they touched the corpse, the man in black who had stood still suddenly collapsed in two, separated his upper body from the lower body, and an oblique wound appeared on the waist, flattening the incision. Qi.
Various organs are mixed with blood, flowing all over the place.
The gongs frowned, a little disgusted, and a little surprised.
"I remember that Xu Ningyan's fascination was a powerful knife technique, which cut Zhu Yingong with a single knife."
"Yeah, now it seems that the power is even greater. This knife slashed three people, and one of them must be in the realm of God Refining."
The three of them looked at the man in black at the same time, it was obvious that this one was the strongest of the three.
"Hey, why does he have no weapons?"
The other two men in black are equipped with standard long swords and military crossbows, but the man in black is empty-handed and not armed.
Was it picked up by Xu Ningyan?
With doubts, they individually inspected the body of the man in black, and when their fingers touched the body, a steely texture was heard.
The corpse still retains the state of luck before death.
"Ok?"
A series of question marks appeared in the minds of the three at the same time.
After about a few seconds, they reacted, and their hearts were filled with absurd and shocking emotions.
"Copper, copper skin and iron bone..." a gong murmured.
.......
Half an hour later, he called the government office.
Excalibur Hall.
After receiving the news, Zhang Kaitai, who was on duty tonight, called all the silver gongs to discuss the assassination of Xu Qi'an.
After leading a team to investigate the scene, Huihui reported: "From the assassination to the beheading of the enemy, the whole process took no more than a quarter of an hour. The three assassins seemed to have known Xu Ningyan's route for a long time, and laid ambush on the only way.
"After a brief confrontation between the two sides, they chased Xu Ningyan into the alley, and then they were killed with a single knife.
Zhang Kaitai nodded and looked at the other silver gong, which was responsible for examining dead bodies.
The silver gong said solemnly: "The assassins used the most common standard long knife. The three major forbidden barracks and the five imperial city guards all used this kind of knife. Even some house guards in the palaces of the princes and ministers used this kind of knife. . We cannot find clues from weapons.
"In addition, we found a magic weapon crossbow from an assassin, a crossbow that is enough to pose a threat to the gods. But it still cannot be a breakthrough.
"The situation of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War is very serious. The princes and ministers privately buy and sell military supplies are also frequent. Over the years, there are countless instruments and armaments that have flowed out. There is no way to find out.
"If you want to investigate, it will involve most of the capital officialdom, and there will be a lot of resistance. I am afraid that even if your Majesty personally ordered it, most of it will be fruitless."
Zhang Kaitai nodded, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and then asked: "Where are the cultivation skills of the three assassins?"
"Two Refining God Realms, one Copper Skin Iron Bone Realm."
Killed the Refining God Realm and Copperskin Iron Bone Realm with a single blow... The hall fell into deathly silence.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Kaitai said, "Where is Xu Ningyan?"
"After dealing with the injury, I fell asleep."
Zhang Kaitai nodded, looked around the silver gongs, and coughed, "You don't need to pay too much attention to certain details. As silver gongs, you are all talented people who are first-class talents, not worse than anyone else. Only occasionally... occasionally. There will be one or two freaks, which can't be done regularly."
The silver gongs echoed a few words with a strong smile.
Zhang Kaitai changed the subject, "Do you think who will send the assassin."
A silver gong frowned and said: "For the time being, I don't know who Xu Ningyan has feuded with recently. Based on what we know, we can infer that if it is a personal grievance, it is most likely related to the Fufei case."
..........
The next day, Mao Shi.
Zhang Kaitai first went to visit Xu Qi'an and saw that he was asleep without interruption. He fetched the file of "The Assassination of Xu Qi'an" written by the staff last night and went to Haoqilou.
After passing the pass, he entered the Haoqi Building and met Wei Yuan in the tea room on the seventh floor.
This high-ranking has two points and one line of activity: the imperial palace-Haoqi Building.
Thanks to the intelligence network laid outside by the gangmen's yamen, he can know world affairs without going out.
"Wei Gong, Xu Ningyan left the palace yesterday and was assassinated on the way." Zhang Kaitai handed over the file.
Wei Yuan took the dossier, did not open it immediately, and asked, "How is he?"
"It's okay to have some injuries. It's just that I'm seriously depleted and I'm still asleep." Zhang Kaitai said.
Wei Yuan nodded, and then unfolded the dossier. After reading it quickly, he raised his head and stared at Zhang Kaitai: "Two gods refinement realm, one copper skin and iron bone?"
He seemed to be seeking proof.
Even a person with great wisdom like Wei Gong is often stunned by the kid's mistake...Zhang Kaitai said "Um":
"Copper skin and iron bone."
Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, then suddenly chuckled, "Yes, not bad."
Zhang Kaitai said: "Could it be related to the Fufei case?"
"The Fu concubine case is your majesty's family affair. Foreign ministers are not easy to intervene, but I will report this matter." Wei Yuan closed the file and frowned.
He didn't have many eyeliners in the palace. After all, the palace was the site of Emperor Yuanjing. Too many eyeliners would completely anger Emperor Yuanjing. Since three chess pieces were removed last time, Wei Yuan has temporarily given up his attention to the palace.
The tacit understanding between the emperor and his subjects was still necessary, and Emperor Yuan Jing made it clear and told him: Do not inquire about the situation in the palace.
However, after the assassination of Xu Qi'an, Wei Yuan became a little angry. He wanted to reactivate the eyeliner in the palace and pay attention to the case personally.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the stairs. Wei Yuan looked up and then Zhang Kaitai turned his head.
A black-clothed official lowered his head, entered the tea room, and said respectfully: "Weigong, there is an order from the palace. At the beginning of the morning, the court will meet."
"I see." Wei Yuan nodded.
"Xu is something big..." Zhang Kaitai got up wittily: "That humble job has to retire first."
The court meeting is not held every day. Generally speaking, a diligent king will hold a court meeting every three days. The time is fixed.
For a monarch who neglects his administration, once every five to ten days.
When I arrived at Emperor Yuanjing, I was basically not in the early dynasty. One day I was in a good mood, and I felt that if I wanted to take care of government affairs, I would send someone to convey the hundred officials a day in advance.
As it is today, the temporary opening of the dynastic meeting means that something big has happened.
Wei Yuan finished drinking the tea in his cup~EbookFREE.me~ and called Nangong Qianrou to enter the palace with this son.
Arriving at Meridian Gate at about 60 o'clock, the square was full of Beijing officials, who were whispering to discuss the reason why Emperor Yuanjing suddenly held a court meeting.
Most of them are guessing whether it is related to the Fufei case.
This case is related to the prince and the country, and only this kind of thing will make Emperor Yuan Jing, who has been idle for a long time, suddenly convene a court meeting and call a group of ministers to discuss.
"Wei Gong."
The Yu Shi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate greeted him, looked around cautiously, and whispered: "There is news from the palace that your Majesty entered Fengqi Palace last night and then left with a thunderous storm."
Wei Yuan's expression paused, and he slowly nodded: "Yeah."
