Chapter 142 The Empress's Uneasiness

Tianyang City, the imperial family, Chaoyang Palace!

Empress Yan Chaolu sat upright in the phoenix chair, with a faint smile on her face. Everything was under control, which put her in a good mood.

At the court meeting that day, her father, who was the great Sima, stepped on the horse and chopped off the head of the old man Xu Mingfeng with a single knife, making everyone silent, even the prime minister Zhao Qidong dared not say anything more.

This is undoubtedly clearing out the enemies in the court for the empress. As long as the Prime Minister Zhao Qifeng is punished, the Yan family will be able to speak their minds above the Xuanyang court, and no one will dare to say anything different.

At this moment, Yan Chaolu was waiting for the news that she would send Su Yunfan, a five-level martial artist from the Yan family, to assassinate Zhao Qidong. She believed that the Yan family priest who was good at hiding would not let her down.

Moreover, Yan Chaolu didn't believe that Yu Xiangjin from the Wan Guo Business League would follow the Zhao family all the time.

That being the case, the tiger will always take a nap, and Su Yunfan will never miss any chance.

stomping on...

Just when Yan Chaolu was thinking about some wonderful results, a sound of footsteps interrupted her thoughts, causing her to raise her head suddenly, but she didn't realize the haste in the footsteps.

"Mr. Luo, is there any news?"

Seeing that Luo Wuxu, the chief protector of the Yan family, walked into the hall, Yan Chaolu asked directly, guessing the possible outcome, but saw a gloomy old face the next moment.

"What? The assassination failed?"

Yan Chaolu checked his face, and without waiting for Luo Wuxu to speak, he immediately asked another sentence, and then said: "Or that Yuxiangjin has not left, and Su Yunfan can't find a chance?"

"Your Majesty, Su Yunfan's longevity lamp... is off!"

However, a result that Yan Chaolu couldn't figure out after thousands of calculations suddenly came out of Luo Wuxu's mouth, causing her to stand up suddenly from the phoenix chair, and her beautiful eyes were full of shock and disbelief. confidence.

Although Yan Chaolu is not a monk, he also clearly knows what a longevity lamp is, and it represents a person's breath of life.

When a person dies, the longevity lamp goes out!
Generally speaking, in a big family like the Yan family, important figures in the family will light a long-lived lamp in the family ancestral hall, so as not to die suddenly during an outside battle or battle, and the family members will not even know the news.

Su Yunfan is enshrined by the Yan family, and has reached the level of the five realms, so he is naturally an extremely important person in the Yan family. It is not a miracle to light a longevity lamp for him.

"Dead... dead?"

After a moment of shock, Yan Chaolu still didn't quite believe the result. He was a majestic five-level martial artist, why did he die like this?

A five-level martial artist is also an extremely precious combat power for the Yan family.

Moreover, Su Yunfan is good at hiding his whereabouts. The Yan family sent this person to many shady activities, and made great contributions to the Yan family.

"That Yuxiangjin is only a five-level martial artist. Even if Su Yunfan misses a blow, it is not difficult to get out of the body. How could he die?"

This is what Yan Chaolu couldn't figure out. Even if she doesn't have much cultivation, it can be seen that she must have some knowledge.

Both being martial artists of the five realms, coupled with Su Yunfan's concealment method, it is impossible to lose his life.

"I'm afraid... it wasn't Yuxiangjin who moved!"

Luo Wuxu shook his head slightly, and heard him say: "After Su Yunfan's longevity lamp went out, I sent people to investigate eastward, and finally found his body, he was killed with one blow!"

"One hit kill?"

Yan Chaolu frowned. Now that she had calmed down from the shock, she could deal with the problem more rationally, so she didn't interrupt the other party's analysis.

"Yu Xiangjin of the Wan Guo Business League is a martial artist who has completed the five realms. As far as I know, she doesn't like to use weapons. Anyone who offends her is almost killed by her punch or several punches!"

Luo Wuxu talked eloquently, and heard him continue to say: "And Su Yunfan's body is obviously wounded by a sword, and there is no second wound. This is more like the handwriting of those hidden killers!"

In the end, Luo Wuxu finally spoke out the result of his own analysis, and when he heard the word "Hidden Killing Society", Yan Chaolu trembled slightly, and couldn't help but think of something strange before.

"It's the Hidden Killing Society again. Could it be that the Zhendong Prince's Mansion or the Prime Minister's Mansion really has some background in the Hidden Killing Society?"

Yan Chaolu's mood is undoubtedly quite bad. Her Yan clan can show off their power in Xuanyang Kingdom, but they can't even count as a drop in the bucket when they win the whole world.

According to legend, the Hidden Killing Society is the number one killer organization in the world, and no one knows the background behind it, but Yan Chaolu knows that even the Daxuan Dynasty seems to dare not break arms with the Hidden Killing Society.

Legend has it that there once was a king of the Daxuan Dynasty who tried to wipe out the Hidden Killing Society in his country, saying that the Hidden Killing Society only knew how to collect money to kill people regardless of good or bad, and such an organization should not exist.

It's just that what happened later made all the dynasties dare not underestimate the Hidden Killing Society.

Because the king of the Daxuan Dynasty who threatened to uproot his country's hidden killing society ended up dying on the dragon chair of his own palace.

This looks to be the handwriting of the Hidden Killing Society. You must know that the Daxuan Dynasty has eleventh-level guardians, and let the killers of the Hidden Killing Society kill the king just like this. One can imagine how strong the other party's methods are. ?

These rumors flashed through Yan Chaolu's mind, making her feel a chill on the back of her neck, as if she was being targeted by a Hidden Killer.

"Probably not. If they really have any background, they only need to hire a six-star killer to take action. Who in Xuanyang Kingdom can stop them?"

Luo Wuxu analyzed it logically, and then said: "Besides, this is the Xuanyang Palace, and the Hidden Killing Society also has certain scruples, so we can't break some rules!"

"Back then, the king of the Daxuan Dynasty committed his own death to provoke the Hidden Killing Society. We have always been extremely polite to the Hidden Killing Society. They should not attack important figures in the palace!"

Seeing that Yan Chaolu was still a little uneasy, Luo Wuxu could only explain again.

This empress is good at everything and has wrists, but she is too cautious, now is not the time to think about these things.

"Mother, I suspect that the reason why Su Yunfan will die is that the other party has already got the news and arranged an ambush in advance. Besides us, who else do you think can know Su Yunfan's whereabouts?"

Luo Wuxu was actually quite shocked, especially when Yan Chaolu suddenly raised his head after he uttered these few words again, and an inconceivable light appeared in his eyes for the second time.

"You mean... Ting Xin Lou?"

This empress, who has always been calm, has experienced many major events in her life, but she has never been so depressed at this moment. Why is Ting Xinlou involved now?

The three major organizations under the mountain are the All Nations Business Alliance, Tingxinlou and Yinshahui. After years of verification, almost no one will have any doubts.

The Universal Business Alliance is the largest trading alliance under the mountain, and it is also the richest force; Tingxinlou collects intelligence from all over the world, so it can be said that it knows everything.

As for the Hidden Killing Society, it is the most mysterious of the three major forces. Everyone knows where its branches are, but no one can recognize the leaders of these branches.

Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion, which has already been in decline, may invite these three families to join forces, the impact on Queen Yan Chaolu must be incomparable.

"Mr. Luo, if Zhendong Prince's Mansion is really related to those three major forces, if we rashly attack Watanabe Castle, will there be some hidden dangers?"

At this moment, Yan Chaolu was in a bit of a mess. She was naturally a good hand in infighting, but when it came to the intervention of these powerful forces, she could only rely on someone as strong as Luo Wuxu.

The Queen couldn't help but think otherwise, after all, according to the information she got, when the Sea Clan attacked, the power holders of the three branches of Watanabe City had all joined forces with the Zhendong Prince's Mansion.

Although there is no real ruler in the Hidden Killing Society, a killer judge and a killer silver fox are all capable of killing four-level martial artists or even five-level martial artists.

"This point, the empress is too worried!"

Just when Yan Chaolu was thinking about whether to change his strategy, Luo Wuxu shook his head lightly, which made the empress slightly relieved.

"As far as I know, the three major powers all have their own rules, that is, not to intervene in the political infighting of any of the Yamashita dynasties or affiliated countries, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

Luo Wuxu talked eloquently: "At that time, Watanabe City was attacked by the Sea Clan. This was a feud between the Human Race and the Sea Clan. Naturally, the three major forces could not stay out of the matter and could only stand up. what is the relationship."

"But this time we have all the troops to destroy Watanabe Castle, it is an internal matter of our country. If the three major forces dare to intervene again, we don't need to sue, and naturally they will have their higher-ups to maintain the rules!"

The chief protector of the Yan clan seemed to be very familiar with certain rules of the three major forces. This analysis finally dissipated most of the uneasiness in Yan Chaolu's heart.

"Then how do you explain Su Yunfan's death? There are three major forces competing to help the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

This may be Yan Chaolu's last two points of doubt. Now that Su Yunfan, the five-level enshrined of the Yan family, is dead, if the Yinsha Society insists on helping the Prime Minister's House, it will be a troublesome matter.

The Hidden Killing Society is different from the other two forces. Their actions are all in secret. Even if they know that there are killers breaking the rules and blatantly intervening in a country's political situation, there is no way to sue them.

Therefore, Yan Chaolu had dispelled her worries about those two forces on the bright side, but this hidden killing would ruin her again and again, causing a haze to rise in her heart.

"This... I'm afraid I can only take one step at a time!"

Luo Wuxu didn't have a good solution for this, but after this analysis, Yan Chaolu gave up the idea of ​​changing the plan.

She believes that as long as the Zhendong Palace can be destroyed, everything will be under Yan's control, and there will be no more accidents.
