Chapter 108 Assassination
In the hall.
Although the purple-robed old man was more respectful, he also had a sense of arrogance. Hearing these words, he couldn't help saying: "His Royal Highness, are we just sitting there waiting to die? There is no chance at all."
"Then Wu Yuan never goes down to Yunshan Mountain."
"Occasionally going down the mountain, I only stay in the east of Yunshan Prefecture. You know very well that it is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for us to get accurate information." The purple-robed old man said: "As for Yunshan? People, or secretly bribed, eventually disappeared.”
"Furthermore."
" For more than a year, most of our forces in Hengyunzong's territory have been investigating the traces of the 'Dark Sword', and we have no power to take care of Wu Yuan." The purple-robed old man defended himself with a series of words.
Dong Wang Jinjiu stared at each other.
He knew that the other party was justifying and stating the truth.
The power that can be mobilized is not enough, and Heng Yunzong's protection of Wu Yuan is also unprecedented.
"Wang Huang, what I want is not an explanation, but a result."
Eastern King Jinjiu said indifferently: "According to the latest information, Wu Yuan is already the number one in Yunwu Palace, and he has broken through Yunshan's 'Hengtian Pavilion Second Floor'. He probably already has the strength of a first-class master."
The old man in purple robe listened, feeling helpless in his heart.
Although this information has not been fully disseminated, almost all the high-level leaders of the various forces are aware of it.
How could he not know?
But know, so what?
Suddenly.
"His Royal Highness Dongwang." A voice full of aura suddenly came from far and near, followed by a phantom.
A figure in blue robe appeared in the hall.
He is thin and nearly two meters tall. He has an extraordinary bearing and a pair of eyes that are very energetic. Even in front of the "Eastern King Jinjiu" who is the 12th in the list, he has no fear at all.
"Brother." The old man in blue robe said.
"Lu Jiangyin!" Dong Wang Jinjiu frowned slightly.
Those who understand the situation in Jiangzhou a little bit, when they hear the names of the three people, they immediately understand the identities of the three people present.
The Great Jin Empire is now named as the "Twelve Princes" guarding the four prefectures of Jiangzhou.
In fact, everyone knows that the real leaders are the three Dibang masters—Chen Luo, Lu Jiangyin, and Wang Huang.
Among the three great masters, Chen Shishi is the most powerful, while Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang are brothers with different surnames who are more united.
The two sides contain each other, which is also the check and balance strategy of the Great Jin Empire.
"His Royal Highness Dongwang came, but he was not able to greet him far away, and he still hopes to forgive his sin." Lu Jiangyin bowed slightly and cupped his hands.
See this scene.
Eastern King Jinjiu's face softened a little, he knew very well that the two people in front of him were both masters and masters, and they were the two sharp knives for the empire to advance eastward.
It is impossible to really punish.
Grand masters are all proud.
Just like the grand master Chen Luo, even if protecting the Ninth Prince was disadvantageous and caused his death, he would only cut down his title.
"Lü Gong."
"In the past few years, whether it is the dark knife, or Wu Yuan, Xu Hui, these threats, you have not eradicated." Dong Wang Jinjiu said softly: "You must give me an explanation."
"It's my inability to do things well." Lu Jiangyin said in a low voice: "Let His Royal Highness Dongwang worry about it, and go to Jiangzhou as far away."
Different from the old man in purple robe, Wang Huang.
Lü Jiangyin did not defend at all.
Dong Wang Jinjiu, as their immediate superior, must have been angry when he went to Jiangzhou to inquire about the crime.
Admit your mistake, be honest!
What is the actual situation, does it matter? Important, but more important is the attitude of admitting mistakes.
Attitude matters.
"Okay, I also know that you are dealing with all parties, the situation is complicated, and the strength in your hands is insufficient." Dong Wang Jinjiu nodded: "I don't blame you."
"but."
"The situation has come to this point, and it must be resolved." Dongwang Jinjiu said calmly: "Can you discuss and plan?"
Lv Jiangyin and Wang Huang looked at each other.
"Second brother, tell the East King about the plan you made." Lu Jiangyin said.
He knew that his second younger brother hated Dong Wang just now, so he wanted to give the other party the opportunity to show off and ease the relationship between them.
"Your Highness."
Wang Huang has a straight temper, but he is not an idiot. He understood that his elder brother was giving an opportunity, and said: "We have formulated two plans, and we are preparing to report it. Your Highness, you are here."
"Tell me." Dong Wang Jinjiu remained calm.
"The first is to offer a reward." The purple-robed old man Wang Huang said: "Let Qixing Building, Nine Killing Mansion and other forces go and..."
"Difficult." Dong Wang Jinjiu shook his head directly.
Deprecated!
"Top masters have the opportunity to kill Wu Yuan, but the risk is extremely high, and not many people are willing to do so. Wu Yuan's rewards are always on offer, but no one can complete it." Dongwang Jinjiu said indifferently: "As for the master? Let Qixinglou, Jiuxing The Grandmaster of the Killing Mansion is dispatched, and the price is extremely high."
Both Wang Huang and Lu Jiangyin couldn't help but nod.
To kill a dark knife, the Jin Empire is willing to pay 100 million taels of silver!
Even pay the price of a set of fairy art.
Can kill Wu Yuan? Firstly, the talent shown by the other party is not that terrible, and secondly, Wu Yuan's strength is still weak, so there are more arrangements with less cost.
the most important.
is an unspoken rule that all parties in the world abide by. The master of the earth list will not easily attack warriors below the master.
For master masters, millions of troops are useless. Once they go crazy to assassinate, how many days will it take to stop them?
"What about the second one?" Dong Wang Jinjiu asked.
"According to the information we collected, Wu Yuan would go down the mountain and go home once a year during the Chinese New Year." Wang Huang said: "Although the defense of Yunshan Mansion is strong, it is not difficult for a top-ranked master to infiltrate."
"According to the time, Wu Yuan is about to go down the mountain."
"So, we plan to send several top experts to sneak into Yunshan Mansion together."
"Assassination." Wang Huang said solemnly: "After the first wave of assassination, regardless of success or failure, retreat immediately."
Dong Wang Jinjiu listen.
This plan sounds simple.
But in fact, this is the normal state. There cannot be seven or eight reversals in real conspiracies and tricks, because human nature is difficult to distinguish and people's hearts are unpredictable.
The so-called calculation without omission and clever tricks are mostly the imagination of literati.
To crush with absolute strength and to win with integrity is what most wise men hope for.
"Well, it is much easier to assassinate in Yunshan Mansion than on Yunshan." Dongwang Jinjiu said softly: "However, it may not be successful if we only arrange a few top experts."
"Maybe, everyone will fall into it."
"Wang Huang!"
"Since you conceived the plan, you are the most suitable candidate. This time, it is better for you to go once." Dong Wang Jinjiu said lightly.
"Me?" Wang Huang's pupils shrank.
He couldn't help but look at his elder brother.
"His Royal Highness Dong Wang."
Lu Jiangyin frowned: "If the Grandmaster makes a move, then Wu Yuan will not be spared, but Bu Yu and Huan Jian may go crazy."
Once the fragile balance is broken.
The result is difficult to predict.
"I hope that at that time, Bu Yu will come to Jinyang City with his sword in his anger." Dong Wang Jinjiu said softly, "I will sit in Jinyang for a while."
"Don't worry too much."
"Bu Yu is nearly a hundred years old, and Huan Jian is selfish."
"Wu Yuan is the only major threat to the Hengyun Sect in the future." Dongwang Jinjiu said slowly, "We can't stay any longer. Wu Yuan must be eradicated before the 'Battle of Dingjiang' breaks out."
"Otherwise."
"With a big battle, Wu Yuan will probably escape from Yunshan and hide for more than ten years. When he becomes a grand master or even a great master master, he will reappear. At that time, it will be difficult to eradicate him." Dongwang Jinjiu said.
Lv Jiangyin and Wang Huang were both suffocated.
Grandmaster?
People in the world generally refer to the top ten of the "District List" as great masters, but in fact, the masters of the Dibang generally refer to the "peak masters" as great masters.
In the world, there are only twenty or thirty great masters.
Looking at Wanli Jiangzhou, there are only two great masters.
One is Master Yu, the leader of Hengyun Sect, and the other is Chu Ping, the king of Baijiang.
With these two people present, it would be difficult for the Jin Empire to conquer Jiangzhou. We can see how terrifying the Great Master's deterrence and combat power are.
"The Battle of Dingjiang? What is it?" Lu Jiangyin asked suddenly.
"It's okay to tell you first, after all, I will notify you by May at the latest and let them prepare." Dong Wang Jinjiu said slowly: "I have discussed with His Majesty that in October this year, the seventh, eighth, ninth The three major armies will march to Chuzhou."
"Early next year, enter Jinyang!"
Lv Jiangyin and Wang Huang couldn't help but be surprised, the Jin Sheng Army is the most elite army of the Jin Empire, it is the Imperial Forest Army!
It is divided into nine legions, with a total of 90,000 people.
It doesn't sound like much, but you must know that every soldier of the Jinsheng Army is a master of the ranks, and it is the most elite and powerful army in the whole world.
The leader of each legion is a master master!
Mobilize the three major armies, which can defeat millions of troops.
"In November of this year, the King of the North will lead Yuanzhou's 100,000 cavalry into difficulty."
"In March next year, the 60,000 Minzhou navy will go north and merge with the 60,000 Chuzhou navy. A total of 120,000 navy will enter Jiangzhou along the river." Dong Wang Jinjiu said: "When the army gathers and the masters gather, it is planned to be launched on June 6 next year. A month ago, the 'Battle of Dingjiang' was launched, going down the Yunjiang River, directly attacking Yunshan City, and then heading towards Jiudong City, completely pacifying Jiangdong."
"In this battle, 'Wu Chenggong' will be the commander!"
Lü Jiangyin and Wang Huang fully understood.
Ten years after the end of the Battle of Hengshan, the empire is about to set off another war of annihilation.
The Northern King of the Great Jin Dynasty is the 'pillar' of this generation of the royal family no less than the Eastern King, and he is also a great master.
Of the 100,000 Yuanzhou iron cavalry, the weakest is also a martial artist.
The 120,000 naval divisions were used to suppress Chuzhou and Fujian provinces, more than half of them were martial artists, and they were equally elite.
Including the "Eastern Expedition Army" of the Jin Empire in Jiangzhou, there are 80,000 people in total.
Together with an elite army of 300,000.
With the 30,000 Jin Shengjun in the formation, this is definitely a terrifying force capable of destroying the country.
Army duel?
Even if the two major forces of Hengyunzong and Baijiangwang combined, it is impossible to be the opponent of such a large army.
Besides, once multiple armies gather, there will be more than a dozen master masters alone.
Most importantly, Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang heard that the commander-in-chief of the army was not the Eastern King or the Northern King, but—Wu Chenggong!
Forty years ago, the Chu River was destroyed!
Thirty years ago, the Three Kingdoms of Nanzhou were conquered and wiped out!
Fifteen years ago, 80,000 iron riders set foot in Xizhou, expedition 16,000 miles, forced all the tribes in Xizhou to surrender, and returned triumphantly, completely solving the 200-year-old disaster in the western border of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Recognized as the number one handsome man in the world, the God of War!
The Great Jin Dynasty and the country are the same as the first-class princes. They can enter the palace without removing their armor, and they can't pay homage to the king.
In terms of force, it even ranks second in the "District List"!
Named as a male, but actually a king!
Not to mention the North King and East King, even the Jin Emperor would stand up and respectfully address each other as 'Old General Lan' when he saw each other.
"Really Wu Chenggong?" Lu Jiangyin couldn't help asking.
It's just too shocking.
"Naturally." Dongwang Jinjiu said calmly, "This is a top secret, and it must not be leaked. All you need to know is that the battle of Dingjiang will be a battle that will destroy the country."
"Jiangzhou is pacified, and the unification of the Central Plains is more than half completed."
"If you lose this battle... it will be difficult to fight in thirty years." Dongwang Jinjiu said: "So, don't care what Hengyunzong thinks."
"What you have to do."
"Before the great war, we will remove the future threats from Hengyunzong and even King Baijiang one by one."
"Understood." Lu Jiangyin and Wang Huang both responded.
"Wang Huang." Jin Jiu looked at the purple-robed old man, and said solemnly: "This time, if you can successfully kill Wu Yuan, I will definitely present it to His Majesty and reward you with thirty million credits."
Draw big cakes, promise.
"Thirty million credits?" The purple-robed old man's eyes lit up.
They worked their lives for Da Jin, not because of their loyalty.
Interests come first.
In exchange for a set of fairy art, it is a credit of 100 million.
It only costs 60,000 credits to exchange for a drop of Ancient Immortal Dew. One can imagine how rich this reward is.
"OK."
"Since the plan has been made, you should arrange it as soon as possible." Jin Jiu said softly, "I still have to go to Hengshan City to meet Chen Luo."
soon.
Eastern King Jinjiu left.
There are only two masters left.
"Second brother, are you really planning to go?" Lu Jiangyin frowned.
"Brother, this is 30 million credits." Wang Huang said excitedly: "Once it is completed, I will not be far away from getting a set of 'Xianju'."
"Second brother, calm down!"
Lu Jiangyin shook his head: "Even though immortal art is good, you have to be ordered to get it. If you kill Wu Yuan, the news cannot be hidden forever."
"Wu Yuan is Hengyunzong's hope. Whoever dares to extinguish this hope will be with Hengyunzong forever."
"Whoever goes will be targeted by Bu Yu and Huan Jian." Lu Jiangyin said: "Otherwise, why do you think no one dares to accept the reward task?"
Lv Jiangyin has a thorough understanding of this point.
"In the battle to pacify Jiangzhou, sooner or later we have to deal with them." Wang Huang said: "Brother, there is no need to worry."
"snort!"
"Hengyunzong has stood in Jiangzhou for hundreds of years, and its methods are unpredictable. Among other things, once Buyu is desperate, are you willing to change your life with her?"
Lv Jiangyin snorted coldly: "Then Jin Jiu, still sitting in Jinyang? Let us not worry? Hmph! If there is no danger, why doesn't he go up by himself?"
Wang Huang also calmed down.
"Brother, what should I do?" Wang Huang couldn't help but asked.
"The trend of Jin's unification of the world is unstoppable. What we seek is glory and glory. Naturally, we must follow the strongest, but we can be tough and let others chew on it." Lu Jiangyin said: "Jin Jiu called you to go, you must go."
Wang Huang nodded.
"Wu Yuan, don't touch him easily."
"You lead the team and take a few top experts to assassinate." Lu Jiangyin said softly: "It's all about success, and the credit is for nothing."
"At that time, we will make a big fanfare and publicize that Wu Yuan was killed by those top masters, so we don't attract the hatred of Heng Yunzong."
"If the assassination fails, there is no need to worry about those top experts."
"Go directly to Xu Hui!"
Lü Jiangyin smiled and said, "This is also a threat."
"Killing him won't make the two old fellows of Hengyunzong go crazy, but it's enough to make a deal with Jin Jiu."
Wang Huang's eyes lit up: "Brother is wise."
…
Yunshan Mansion, Yunshan.
After the annual competition, Wu Yuan swept away the disciples of Yunwu Hall with a nearly invincible posture, and broke through the second floor of the 'Hengtian Pavilion'.
His prestige in Yunwu Hall has reached its peak.
at the same time.
The display of strength comparable to that of a first-class master also shocked the entire sect, and soon there were voices.
It is necessary to promote Wu Yuan from a true disciple to "Tianwu Zhenzhuan".
Not only are the top masters and first-class masters of the Caigong Hall, but even the Teaching Hall has a voice.
It's just that they were all suppressed by the Supreme Being.
Wu Yuan's rapid growth, the spread of the news also shocked all parties, with undercurrents surging one after another.
but.
These voices did not affect Wu Yuan at all.
He is still practicing step by step.
More than ten days after the annual competition, Wu Yuancai Shi Shiran came to Caigong Hall and met Elder Huan.
"Elder."
"To see you, there are two things." Wu Yuan smiled and said: "First, I apply to participate in a trial mission."
For the disciples of Yunwu Palace, especially the disciples of the upper court, the sect will arrange various trial tasks.
Zongmen cultivates disciples, not growing flowers in a greenhouse for good looks.
The ultimate goal is to fight and fight!
Without going through life and death, without experiencing wind and rain, even if the strength is strong and the skill is high, 100% of the strength is likely to be only 30% to 50%.
"Trial mission?"
Elder Huan frowned first, then nodded and said: "Well, the Supreme Commander told me that I will notify you when there is a suitable task."
"After all, conventional guarding tasks and patrolling tasks are not suitable for you."
Wu Yuan couldn't help but nodded.
Trial missions are not all about fighting and killing. Like 'Huan Xinyan' who is a teacher in the martial arts academy, it is a kind of trial.
It is also a trial to become a civil servant and general in one prefecture and one county.
"What else is there?" Elder Huan said.
"Go down the mountain and go home to celebrate the New Year." Wu Yuan said.
"Downhill?"
Elder Huan looked at Wu Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Wu Yuan, you know, you broke through the second floor of Hengtian Pavilion, now, all forces will pay more attention to you."
"I know." Wu Yuan said lightly.
"Then you still have to go down the mountain?" Elder Huan frowned
"Elder, I have the strength of a first-class master now, and I have some ability to protect myself." Wu Yuan shook his head and said: "But, even if I become a top master, a master master can kill me. Is it possible that I will never go down the mountain?"
Elder Huan was dumbfounded.
"Elder, don't worry, Yunshan Mansion is quite safe, even top experts, few dare to assassinate in the east of the city." Wu Yuan said: "Furthermore, I will perform Yigu before going down the mountain, and will not enter the mansion with great fanfare."
"Not many people know about it."
"Elder, at most three to five days, I will go back to the mountain after spending time with my family." Wu Yuan laughed.
"Okay, then you have to be careful." Elder Huan could only nod.
Farewell to Elder Huan.
Wu Yuan walked on the avenue.
"Assassination?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's fine if there is no assassination, if you come to assassinate, it will save a lot of effort."
Notice.
The blood-colored mist obtained by Wu Yuan in the last battle of Yunjiang has been almost exhausted in the past half a year.
Just need to supplement.
Stayed on Yunshan for another two days.
It wasn't until the day before the Chinese New Year that Wu Yuan performed Yigu, and left Yunshan without a sound.
…
Entering Yunshan City, Wu Yuan first strolled along the street.
The streets and alleys were bustling with crowds of people, which made Wu Yuan, who had long been accustomed to the tranquility, feel a lot of turmoil in his heart.
"Firework gas."
Wu Yuan wandered casually, looking at the bargaining of vendors and passers-by in the streets and alleys, he couldn't help smiling: "The people are the peace of the people, and the traffic is the world."
Wu Yuan, stepping on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Jiangzhou.
He walked through the Yuanhu Mansion under the rule of Yuanhu Villa, through the Nanyun Mansion under the rule of King Baijiang, and even went to the Dalong Mansion where lives were worthless and chaos was incomparable.
"Comparatively speaking, under Heng Yunzong's rule, the ordinary people are not bad." Wu Yuan has seen the light, but also knows the darkness.
If you say that you practice hard in the mountains, eat qi, and refine qi, you are out of the dust and out of the world.
It will make the practitioners feel that "the world is vast, and my life will last for a moment", so come to the city occasionally and immerse yourself in the tour.
is to bring the soul back to the world!
that's all.
Walking around along the way, I bought a lot of gifts for my mother and sister. Wu Yuan Yi Gu returned to his normal appearance, and entered the 'Wu Mansion' through the side door.
The news of 'Young Master returns to the mansion' quickly spread in the mansion.
However, everyone in the mansion strictly ordered that the news should not be spread outside, so even the nearby mansions did not know that Wu Yuan was back.
Meet my mother and sister.
Night falls.
In the house to the east, on the second floor, Wu Yuan sat here quietly, with a thought in his mind, his spiritual thoughts involuntarily spread out in all directions.
Countless information pours into the brain!
With a radius of more than a hundred meters, everything is shrouded in Wu Yuan's divine sense, including family members, clan members, and many maids and attendants.
All under his clear perception.
"Spiritual thoughts, really miraculous, is this the means controlled by Qi refiners?" Wu Yuan secretly sighed.
Every time he uses his divine sense, he feels miraculous.
Qi refiners are completely dimensionality reduction blows to warriors.
"Elder Zhang and Palace Master Gu are dedicated." Wu Yuan sensed it clearly.
Only about 100 meters away, on both sides of Wu Mansion.
There are two masters with extremely strong vitality, each stationed on one side.
In the dark night, it is invisible to the naked eye.
But in Wu Yuan's perception, the two were as dazzling as a raging fire!
Top master! two!
And Wu Yuan has seen them all before.
One is the "Master Zhang Changchang" in the Military Palace, thirty-fourth in Jiangzhou's list!
One, Gu Wang, the master of the Supervisory Hall, is the fourth on the list of Jiangzhou people, and he is also the closest master of the Hengyun Sect to the Grandmaster Realm.
It is clear.
Elder Huan agreed with Wu Yuan to go down the mountain, and quickly reported to the Yu Taishang, who ordered two top masters to follow and protect Wu Yuan secretly.
Actually, Wu Yuan sensed their existence on the way down the mountain.
"For the New Year's Eve, let the two top masters stay here alone." Wu Yuan sighed secretly, with a hint of apology.
But there is no way to explain it.
... In the blink of an eye, three days passed and the new year began.
Wu Yuan, in addition to his normal daily practice, he rarely spends time with his family, and spent a year full of excitement.
Snow fell again.
Floating in the air like catkins, the temperature dropped suddenly. As night fell, every household closed their doors.
Except for the occasional sergeant patrolling past, the street was quiet.
"Whizzing!"
"Whoosh!"
In the darkness, several figures braved the wind and snow, flashed past buildings, slipped carefully through the streets, and entered the east area of the city.
Finally, entered an empty room.
"This place is only three miles away from Wu Mansion." The burly 'Wang Huang' was shrouded in a black robe, revealing only a pair of eyes.
"According to the internal information obtained, Wu Yuan has returned to the mansion, and now he should be living on the second floor of the small building on the east side of the house."
"I understand." Wang Huang glanced at the three figures in front of him.
"yes!"
The three figures nodded one after another.
"Go! Kill Wu Yuan!" Wang Huang waved his hand.
The three of them, who had already changed into their 'night clothes', pushed open the window, floated down the window without making a sound, and quickly walked towards the Wu Mansion.
