Chapter 19 Morning Meeting

The arrow turned into afterimage in the darkness, and Xu Qi'an's eyes could not be captured, but his powerful mental power locked the arrow with a light green color.

The God Refining Realm is the small peak of warriors' combat power. This is not something to say. Warriors in this realm have a super keen intuition about danger.

When you reach the God Refining Realm, you basically bid farewell to the fate of being ambushed, mafia, and sneak attacks.

The magic weapon of Si Tianjian, the military crossbow, can shoot and kill the murder weapon in the God Refining Realm... Xu Qi'an immediately judged the roots of the opponent's weapon because he had such a magic weapon.

Subconsciously, he wanted to jump out of the horse's back and avoid the arrows.

No, my little mare can't die here...

The thought flashed, and he changed his mind immediately. He put his right hand on his waist and with the sound of Qingyue's sharp blade coming out of the sheath, he slashed backwards and accurately cut off the arrow.

Crash... In the slight sound of the tiles sliding, two men in black jumped up from the roof, one left and one right, attacking Xu Qi'an.

They held the standard long sword in their hands, and the rolling sword energy twisted the air, trying to cut Xu Qi'an and Ma off together.

drive!

Xu Qi'an, who noticed the crisis, grabbed the horse's belly in advance, prompting his beloved little mare to run forward and avoid the two of them's attacks.

At the same time, he jumped up from the horse's back and landed lightly on the roof of a restaurant.

Bang!

The sword lights of two men in black cut the sky and cut deep marks on the ground.

In the realm of refining the gods... Xu Qi'an looked down and made a judgment in his heart.

What made him even more concerned was that the man in black who was hiding in the alley ahead was probably stronger than the God Refining Realm.

Strategic retreat!

This is the inner city, with the patrols of the Knights and the five guards of the Imperial City took turns to patrol. These three killers cannot stay for too long, and the time left for them is limited than the time left for the national football team.

As long as I don’t fight, they will be unable to take me down in a short period of time and will retreat on their own. At that time, they will immediately use the qi technique and hunt three people with the fighter to reverse the situation.

At this time, a picture appeared in Xu Qi'an's mind again. The tall man in black appeared behind him strangely and punched him in the back of the head.

Damn, when did he appear behind me... Xu Qi'an's body was faster than his brain, and instinctively dived and jumped off the roof.

At the same time, a fist came from behind his ears and broke through the air, an explosion like muffled thunder.

Bang!

The qi wrapped in the fist exploded into a rippling circle of air in the air.

The master seemed surprised to have lost his shot. He didn't expect that the Tongluo, who had just entered the God Refining Realm, had such a sharp spiritual sense.

As soon as Xu Qi'an landed, he was greeted by two swords from the God Refining Realm.

Dingding... He swung his knife and opened the two slashed knives, and after landing, he quickly fled.

It is too dangerous to move the roof, so it is a relatively safe way to skillfully utilize obstacles such as alleys and houses.

But before he could run a few steps, the sound of breaking through the air behind him quickly approached, and the scene of the attack of the man in black was automatically fed back in his mind.

Xu Qian gritted his teeth, twisted his waist, and turned around and slashed.

bite!

The black gold sword slashed on the fist, and a dazzling spark burst out. Xu Qi'an's right hand cracked, his legs slid back down to the ground for more than ten meters. The thick soles of the shoe were separated from the shoe body in the cracking sound.

Sixth-grade warriors, copper-skinned and iron-bone.

Despite some expectations, Xu Qi'an's heart still sank.

The messenger behind me knew my level, so the killer sent could almost certainly control me... and at the same time, he also knew my walking route, so he was ambushed on the necessary road.

Who wants to kill me?

Now there is no time to think about it so much. The attacks of two masters of the God Refining Realm followed. The three of them obviously cooperated with a tacit understanding of the small team, led by the bronze sheet and iron bones realm, and assisted by the two God Refining Realm, and the offensives were extremely closely connected.

Within fifty moves, I will die... This terrible enlightenment flashed through Xu Qi'an's heart.

He stopped in a hurry, ignored the slash of one person on the left, and made a stance to die with the other person on the right. But strangely, the man on the right actually died with him calmly, while the man on the left who could attack withdrew his sword and returned to defense.

Xu Qian suddenly turned around and slashed at the man in black on the left, just in time to hit the blade that was blocking him.

Puff... The man in black on the right stabbed Xu Qi'an's left shoulder.

cut!

Xu Qi'an cursed inwardly.

His real target was the man in black on the left. He died with the man in black on the right just pretended to behave, but the other party was also in the realm of refining the gods and noticed the crisis in advance.

Stealing a chicken will not result in losing a piece of rice.

Xu Qian kicked the man in black on the right and left his blade, bringing out a stream of warm blood.

At this time, the master of the copper-skinned iron bones had already rushed to kill him in an instant, and his fist condensed his energy and hit Xu Qi'an's chest fiercely.

Bang!

There was a sound of something blowing open in Xu Qi'an's chest. The next moment, he felt like he was hit by a heavy truck.

Cough cough cough...

Xu Qi'an, who stabilized his body, coughed up bloody foam, and his chest exploded with a magic gong assigned by the Kanren Yamen, as well as Song Qing's heart protection mirror.

Under the double defense, he blocked the full-strength attack of the bronze and iron bone master and saved the dog's life.

Standard weapons, the magic weapon and military crossbow of Sitianjian, and you dare to kill people in the streets of the inner city. You are the dead soldiers raised by some big shots.

While speaking, he glanced around him quietly.

The three men in black did not answer Xu Qi'an's words, and they did not have the awareness of being a villain at all, and rushed over with perseverance.

Xu Qi'an turned around and ran, entering the narrow alley on the right.

Three men in black chased into the alley and saw Xu Qi'an standing at the end of the alley. The extremely sharp sword had been retracted.

Why don’t you run away?The killer in the bronze and iron bone realm asked.

His voice was hoarse and he was pretending.

I can't escape, so I plan to kill you here.Xu Qian squinted his eyes, very satisfied with the width of the alley, allowing only one person to pass through.

With one knife, he only has a chance to have one knife.

The master of the bronze and iron bone realm frowned and concentrated his mind to sense the surroundings, without catching the footsteps of the beating people and patrol soldiers.

But Xu Qi'an's confidence made him instinctively alert.

bluff?

At this time, he saw the Gonggong who had just entered the God Refining Realm and slowly pressed his right hand to the hilt of the knife.

Focus on one point and reach the pinnacle.

All emotions fall and all qi is restrained, just like when a tsunami comes, the sea water will recede first.

At this moment, three men in black felt a warning, and their intuition from the God Refining Realm told them: Danger, Danger, Danger...

Without hesitation, they followed the instinct of the martial artist and planned to exit the alley.But at this moment, a roar pierced through the eardrum and a shocking roar sounded.

The three of them fell into a moment of chaos and lost control of their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a clear sound of outshes like a dragon.

The killer in the bronze and iron bone realm first broke free from the shock of the lion's roar, and then saw a thin line-like sword light slashing towards him.

He had only had time to cross his arms, swell his energy and muscles, and resist with his indestructible body.

……

Pick.

A Tonggong from Qi training realm was walking on the roof, following the traces of being destroyed, and found the alley.

He leaned over and looked into the alley and saw the four people confronting each other. Three men in black stood still. Opposite them, Xu Qian, who was leaning on the knife, was breathing heavily, sweating profusely, and wisps of steam rose from the back of his head.

Here!

Tongluo shouted, holding a knife in one hand and a military crossbow in the other, jumped into the alley and stood beside Xu Qian.

Two gongs on the adjacent ridge then rushed over and entered the alley.

Lord Xu, are you okay?

The patrol team of this trio responded with concern. They sensed the heartbeats of the three men in black and judged that the killers had died.

A little hurt is not in the way.

Xu Qi'an was gasping for breath. Before his three colleagues arrived, he had already taken Dali Pills and his physical strength was slowly recovering, but if he wanted to resume walking, he had to rest for another quarter of an hour.

The sword given by the supervisor is perfect for the one-slash of heaven and earth.

The three Tongluo nodded slowly, and looked at the man in black, who could force Master Xu, who had just entered the God Refining Realm, to such a embarrassing state, one of them must be in the God Refining Realm.

At this time, noisy and dull footsteps came, and a fifty-man imperial sword guard rushed over.

Lord Xu, you go back to the yamen to heal the wounds first, and let us deal with these three people.

Tongluo, who was speaking, left the alley and ordered the Imperial Sword Guard to come, saying: You escort Lord Xu back to the Khanren Yamen, leaving ten people to assist the officer in disposing of the body.

The little leader of the Imperial Sword Guard clasped his fists and said: Yes.

After Xu Qi'an left, the three Tongluo returned to the alley. When they touched the body, the man in black who was originally dead suddenly collapsed in half, his upper body and lower body separated, and a slanted wound appeared on the waist, leveling the incision.

Various organs were mixed with blood and flowed all over the ground.

The Tonggongs frowned, a little disgusted and a little surprised.

I remember Xu Ningyan's unique skill was some powerful sword technique, which hurt Zhu Yinluo with one knife.

It's Ah, now it looks even more powerful.This knife killed three people, and one of the three must be in the God Refining Realm.

The three of them looked at the man in black at the front at the same time. It was obvious that this one was the strongest among the three.

Hey, why doesn't he have weapons?

The other two men in black were equipped with standard long swords and military crossbows, but this man in black was empty-handed and had no weapons.

Was it picked up by Xu Ningyan?

With doubt, they checked the body of the man in black alone, and when his fingers touched his remaining body, they heard a steel-like texture.

The corpse still retains its state of being active before death.

Um?

A series of question marks appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time.

After about a few seconds, they reacted, and absurd and shocked feeling surged in their hearts.

Copper, copper skin and iron bones... A gong murmured.

……

Half an hour later, I fought against the government office.

Divine Sword Hall.

After receiving the news, Zhang Kaitai, who was on duty tonight, summoned all the silver gongs to discuss the assassination of Xu Qi'an.

Yinluo, who had just led the team to survey the scene, reported that the whole process from assassination to killing the enemy was no more than half a quarter of an hour.The three assassins seemed to have known Xu Ningyan's route for a long time and were ambushed on the road they must pass.

After a brief confrontation between the two sides, they chased Xu Ningyan into the alley, and were then killed with one knife, making it easier.

Zhang Kaitai nodded and looked at another Yin Luo, who was responsible for the examination of the body.

Na Yinluo said in a deep voice: The assassin used the most common long sword, the three imperial guards and the five imperial guards used this kind of sword.Even some of the house guards in the palaces of princes and ministers use this.We can't find clues from weapons.

In addition, we found a magic weapon military crossbow from an assassin, a military crossbow that was enough to pose a threat to the God Refining Realm.But this still cannot be a breakthrough.

The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War was very serious, and the phenomenon of privately buying and selling military supplies was also frequent. Over the years, countless magical instruments and arms were leaked.Can't find out at all.

If you want to investigate, it will involve most of the officialdom in the capital, with many obstacles. I am afraid that even if His Majesty personally ordered it, it will probably be fruitless.

Zhang Kaitai nodded, as if he had expected it, and asked again: Where is the cultivation level of the three assassins?

Two are in the Divine Refining Realm and one is in the Copper and Iron Bone Realm.

With one sword, he killed the God Refining Realm and the Copper and Iron Bone Realm... The hall fell into a dead silence.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Kaitai said: Where is Xu Ningyan?

After dealing with the injury, he fell asleep.

Zhang Kaitai nodded, looked around the Yinluo and coughed, don’t pay too much attention to some details. As Yinluo, you are all first-class talents in Dafeng, and you are no worse than anyone else.Just occasionally... there will be one or two freaks, and they cannot be measured by regularity.

The Yinluo and others forced their faces to smile and agreed a few words.

Zhang Kaitai changed the topic, who do you think the assassin would be sent?

A Yin Luo frowned and said: I don’t know who Xu Ningyan has made enemies with recently. Based on what we know, it is very likely that if it is a personal grudge, it is related to the Fufei case.

……

The next day, at the hour of Mao.

Zhang Kaitai went to visit Xu Qi'an first. Seeing that he was sleeping, he did not disturb him. He took the file "Xu Qi'an Assassination Case" written by the official last night and went to Haoqi Tower.

After passing the news, he came to the seventh floor and met Wei Yuan in the tea room.

This eunuch who was in a high position had two points and one line of activity: the Haoqi Tower of the Imperial Palace.

Thanks to the intelligence network that was built outside the Dagenren Yamen, Wei Yuan could know the world without going out.

Duke Wei, Xu Ningyan left the palace yesterday and was assassinated on the way.Zhang Kaitai handed over the file.

Wei Yuan's eyes narrowed, he took the file, but did not open it immediately, and asked: How is he?

I was injured and was not seriously injured.It's just that my energy is exhausted and I'm still sleeping.Zhang Kaitai said.

Wei Yuan nodded, then opened the file, read it quickly, and raised his head to stare at Zhang Kaitai: Two people in the God Refining Realm, one in the bronze and iron bones?

He seemed to be seeking verification.

Even a wise man like Duke Wei is often shocked by that boy... Zhang Kaitai said:

Copper and iron bones.

Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, and suddenly chuckled, "No, not bad."

Zhang Kaitai said with the flow: Will it be related to the Fufei case?

The Fufei case is His Majesty’s family matter, and it is difficult for foreign ministers to interfere, but I will report this matter to you.Wei Yuan closed the file and frowned.

He didn't have many eyeliners in the palace. After all, the palace was the territory of Emperor Jing of Yuan. If too many eyeliners were placed, it would completely anger Emperor Jing of Yuan Jing.

Since the three pieces were removed last time, Wei Yuan has temporarily given up his attention to the palace.

There should be a tacit understanding between the king and his subjects. Emperor Jing of Yuan clearly told him: Inquire about the situation in the palace less.

However, after the assassination of Xu Qi'an, Wei Yuan was a little angry. He wanted to re-activate the palace's eyeliner and pay attention to the case himself.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the stairs, and Wei Yuan looked up, and Zhang Kaitai turned his head.

A black-clothed official lowered his head, entered the tea room, and said respectfully: Duke Wei, an order came from the palace, the court meeting at the beginning of Chen Shi.

knew.Wei Yuan nodded.

Maybe something big happened... Zhang Kaitai stood up tactfully: That humble position will be retired first.

The court meeting is not held every day. Generally speaking, a diligent king holds a grand court meeting every three days.Time is fixed.

For kings who are incompetent in power, they will be once every five to ten days.

When Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty, he basically did not attend morning court. One day he felt better and thought that he would send people to convey to all officials one day in advance.

As today, a temporary court meeting means that something big happened.

After drinking the tea in the cup, Wei Yuan called Nangong Qianrou and entered the palace with his adopted son.

Arriving at the Wu Gate at six o'clock in the morning, the square was filled with officials from Beijing. They were whispering to discuss the reasons why Emperor Jing of Yuan suddenly convened a court meeting.

Most of them are speculating whether it is related to the Fufei case. This is just one of the major events in recent times.

This case is related to the prince and the country's foundation. Only such a thing will cause Emperor Jing of Yuan, who has been negligent for a long time, to suddenly hold a court meeting and convene all the ministers to discuss.

Duke Wei.

The right censor of the Censorate came up, looked around carefully, and whispered: News came from the palace that His Majesty entered Fengqi Palace last night, and then left furiously.

Wei Yuan's expression paused slightly and he nodded slowly: Yes.
