Chapter 21 Assassination!
The dark night was like ink, and several dark shadows passed by the buildings. These buildings were like flat ground for them and would not make any sound.
Not long after, they came to the Zhongling Prince's Mansion.
There were eight people in total, wearing night clothes, their eyes full of death.
"Today, we must take down the head of King Zhongling! Only success is allowed, not failure!"
The man in black in the head was full of murderous intent and looked at the others and said:
"In the Zhongling Prince's Mansion, the only thing that hinders our actions is the former Imperial Commander, Xu Zhen!"
"This person cannot be confronted head-on! Black one and two, after entering, you will lead Xu Zhen away first!"
"yes!"
Two men in black responded with fists.
"The rest of the people go with me!"
At this time, the leader suddenly realized that he was shaking with the other people and hid in the darkness.
Afterwards, a team of guards walked by with lanterns, and the men shook their shoulders, looking listless.
"Black one and two, you guys go first!"
A hoarse voice sounded, and Heiyi and Heiyi, who received the order, rushed out suddenly and appeared in the distance.
"There are assassins!"
"Come on, catch the assassin!"
In a burst of exclamations, the guards who heard the sound quickly moved closer to the other side, and the entire royal palace was in chaos.
Xu Zhen, who heard the sound, immediately picked up the big knife and ran towards the direction where the shouting came.
"Walk!"
The leading assassin waved his hand and rushed to the room where King Zhongling was resting with the other five assassins.
At this time, Xu Zhen had already arrived in the chaotic place.
"Who dares to trek into the Zhongling Palace!"
Xu Zhen shouted loudly, rushed forward with murderous intent, and the big sword smashed down with the sound of breaking the wind.
bite!
Hei used his sword to collided with the big sword, and was immediately shocked by Xu Zhen's huge force.
More and more guards gathered in the mansion, as if frightened, Heiyihei and Er quickly fled.
"Run there!"
Xu Zhen was furious. The two of them knew that they were planning to be indiscriminate when they saw their dress. Now that they came to Zhongling Palace, they still wanted to escape. Didn’t they hit him in the face of the guard of the palace?
The two assassins were extremely fast and rushed to the corner immediately. When they saw that they were about to leave, an unexpected figure appeared.
It was Qin Qiong! He held both maces in his hand, as if he had prepared for it. The moment the assassin came to the corner, he instantly smashed his maces.
With a bang, the two assassins' heads were smashed to pieces and they could not die any more.
"Brother Qin is such a terrifying skill!"
Xu Zhen, who was catching up with him, could not help but feel a little shocked when he saw this terrifying scene at close range.
He knew Qin Qiong's strength, but he didn't expect that he would smash his hard head with just a random smash. He was simply not a normal person!
Soon, Gao Shun also followed. Seeing the miserable situation of the two assassins, his eyes narrowed and he sighed: "Brother Qin is indeed amazing. It's really unlucky for these two guys to come to the royal palace!"
At this time, Qin Qiong suddenly spoke, "Can anyone protect your highness now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed.
Xu Zhen remembered the strange behavior of the man in black who was about to escape after taking a move, and his face suddenly became ugly: "No! This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"By the way, your highness is not..."
Gao Shun suddenly remembered Yun Yi's terrifying skills, but after seeing so many guards around him, he stopped what he said.
Qin Qiong and Xu Zhen knew what he meant, looked at each other and said, "No matter what, I'm afraid that if we go there, we will go there as soon as possible!"
"good!"
The guards were dismissed and ordered them to strengthen their vigilance against the royal palace. After that, the three of them ran to the attic where Yun Yi lived.
...
At this time, the other six assassins had quietly sneaked into Yun Yi's attic.
The attic was brightly lit at this time, and there were two guards guarding the lower part. Because they were far apart, the noise of chaos in the front yard did not reach here.
"Hei San, Hei Si, go and deal with the two guards!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two assassins took the order and rushed forward. In order not to cause riots, they did not kill the two guards, but knocked them out.
"Now the only thing left is the waste who is powerless, let's go in!"
After saying that, six assassins broke into the window at the same time and entered the attic.
At this moment, several assassins were shocked and almost screamed.
After they landed, the first person they saw was Yun Yi, who was sitting in the main seat and drinking tea, and Li Ru, who was smiling with his eyes and wearing a Confucian robe.
"Haha, Wenyou expected that it was true. There was actually an assassin coming to assassinate me tonight!"
"Tell me, who sent you?"
Yun Yi put down the teacup and looked at the assassins with a hint of harshness.
However, several assassins calmed down. They did not find any traces of ambush in the attic!
"Hei San, Hei Si, you go and kill that weak scholar, and the others and I will kill the useless prince!"
The assassin in the lead shouted softly, and the few people dispersed instantly, and rushed towards the target with murderous intent.
They did not think about why Yun Yi did not set up an ambush after guessing that someone had assassinated him.
Their goal is to kill Yun Yi, even if everyone stays here, they will be willing to do so.
They were dead soldiers sent by Xun Xiuxian.
"snort!"
Yun Yi snorted coldly, summoned Fang Tian's painting halberd from the system, came to Li Ru, and a halberd passed by. Two assassins who rushed towards Li Ru fell to the ground in an instant, and blood sprayed out, and they could not die anymore.
"How is that possible!"
The assassin in the lead was full of eyes. Is this really that useless prince? How could he be so strong!
"A group of garbage assassins dare to come to me, and they are embarrassing!"
Yun Yi held the Fang Tian Painted Spear and looked at the several assassins sarcastically.
"There is no way out, fight with him!"
"Die!"
The assassin in the lead shouted, holding short swords with several others, and rushed towards Yunyi at the extreme speed.
"Be careful with your Highness!"
Seeing this scene, Li Ru subconsciously shouted.
The next moment, Yun Yi suddenly waved Fang Tian Painted Spear, and he was inherited by Lu Bu. He was like a god descending to earth and instantly killed several assassins.
In just a moment, only one leader was left to several assassins.
He climbed on the ground with difficulty, gasping for breath, and his bones were broken in many places, and he was already breathing.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
Yun Yi's halberd pointed at the assassin and said coldly.
At this moment, the assassin leader suddenly raised his head, shot a poisonous needle as thin as cow's hair on his wrist, and penetrated Yun Yi's clothes and tugged it on the flesh.
The needle was too fast, even if Yun Yi had martial arts skills, he could not dodge it. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, Yun Yi was caught.
He pulled out the poisonous needle with an ugly expression.
"Hehe, go and die!"
The assassin leader smiled gloomyly and spitted out a mouthful of blood.
"die!"
Fang Tian's painting halberd suddenly slashed, and Yun Yi ended the assassin's life in anger.
"Your Highness!"
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and Qin Qiong and the other two arrived hurriedly.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Yun Yi smiled slightly, and was about to say something, but suddenly his head dizzy and he sat on the ground.
