low-key is king

Chapter 91 Promise Them!

Xuanyang Kingdom, the capital, Chaoyang Palace!

Empress Yan Chaolu was sitting on the phoenix chair in Chaoyang Palace, but her face was a bit unsightly, and the fifth-rank monk Luo Wuxu standing next to her was also the same, and she was speechless for a long time.

The knuckles of Yan Chaolu holding the handle of the phoenix chair were a little white, as if she was completely unprepared for the outcome of something, and even more confused and bewildered.

"Mr. Luo, you said that Hidden Killing will increase the price?"

After a long time, Yan Chaolu finally couldn't bear it anymore. After asking again, he said in a cold voice, "Isn't the reward of 100 million high-grade gold beads enough to kill Lu Mingyang?"

It was this matter that the Empress was angry with. Back then, when she asked Luo Wuxu to go to the Hidden Killing Association to issue a reward mission to assassinate Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, she really paid a lot of money.

Generally speaking, for a fifth-level task of the Hidden Killing Society, that is, 50 to 80 top-grade gold beads, it was only because of Lu Mingyang's special status in Xuanyang Kingdom that Yan Chaolu almost doubled the reward.

But now more than a month has passed, and the Hidden Assassination Society did not complete the task to receive the reward. Today, when Luo Wuxu went to the Hidden Assassination Society to investigate the results, what he got was such an unexpected result.

There was a piece of letter paper in Luo Wuxu's hand, Yan Chaolu didn't read it, but she obviously knew the answer from the other party's mouth, which made her feel a little inconceivable.

"Yes, Hidden Kill will say that they will not accept this task if it is less than 500 million top-grade gold beads!"

The anger on Luo Wuxu's face became even stronger, and when he said the words "500 million top-grade gold beads", his voice trembled a little.

Even if it is this five-level monk, if he wants to take out 500 million top-grade gold beads, he may have to hurt his muscles and bones. He dare not make decisions on this matter himself, so he can only come back and ask the empress for advice.

The financial power of the entire Xuanyang Kingdom is now in the hands of this empress, it is not difficult to take out 500 million top-grade gold beads, but they can't swallow it.

Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, at his peak, was nothing more than a five-level martial artist.

Now that he has been in a coma for a whole year, isn't the killer from the Hidden Killing Society a one-hit kill?
It happened that the Hidden Killing Society hadn't succeeded after such a long time, and they were still asking for a lot of money at this time, which simply didn't take the Xuanyang royal family seriously, even though Luo Wuxu didn't reveal his identity at that time.

Moreover, the information left by the Hidden Killing Society did not explain the reason, which made the Queen and Luo Wuxu even more reluctant to accept it.

500 million top-grade gold beads, probably enough for a six-star killer to make a move, right?
In fact, what the two of them didn't know was that the Hidden Assassin Society really knew that five-star killers were no longer enough to complete the task, and they wanted to send six-star killers to receive the reward.

Of course, the Hidden Killing Society will not bring up such a shameful thing about being killed by a five-star killer after failing.

Five million top-grade gold beads, it doesn't matter if you accept it or not, they are also happy to relax.

"500 million, why don't they grab it?"

Hearing the number Luo Wuxu said, Yan Chaolu almost jumped out of the phoenix chair.

Although she is now monopolizing the power, Xuanyang Kingdom's money is not blown by strong winds, and there are still many places to use the money.

How many things can be done with 500 million top-grade gold beads? In the eyes of Yan Chaolu, who is rich and powerful, he feels a little distressed.

However, the Hidden Killing Society is not a subsidiary organization of the Xuanyang Kingdom's royal family, let alone those small sects. In terms of background, it is many times stronger than Xuanyang Kingdom.

Therefore, the two were angry, but there was nothing they could do about it. The lion on the other side opened their mouths, and they didn't even have room to bargain.

Even Yan Chaolu was thinking that Yin Sha would set the price of the 500 million top-grade gold beads, and whether the real purpose was to let him quit in the face of difficulties, so as to save him a lot of trouble.

"trouble?"

Thinking of this, Yan Chaolu's mood changed, and he suddenly said: "Mr. Luo, do you think that the old guy Lu Mingyang has recovered his five-level strength, and the killers sent by the Hidden Killing Club cannot complete the task, and that's why the price is temporarily increased?"

"It's possible!"

Luo Wuxu groaned for a moment, then nodded, and heard him say: "If this is the case, then Lu Mingyang can't stay even more. A five-level martial artist may not even be his opponent!"

The chief protector of the Yan clan seemed to be implying something to the queen.

But with Yan Chaolu's shrewdness, how could he fail to understand the meaning of his words, and immediately fell into a brief silence.

"500 million is 500 million, promise them!"

After a while, Yan Chaolu raised his head, as if he had realized the threat posed to him by King Zhendong. Compared with his grand plan, what is a mere 500 million high-grade gold beads?
"I want to see if even the six-star killer can't kill you, Lu Mingyang?"

A glint of cruelty flashed in Yan Chaolu's beautiful eyes. It seemed that although she had been in Chaoyang Palace for a long time, she was not unfamiliar with the Hidden Assassination Society's hierarchy.

Five million top-grade gold beads is definitely not the price for a five-star assassin, and to become a six-star assassin of the Hidden Killing Society, one must first be a six-level martial artist or a six-level monk.

That was already a great master of the fifth middle realm. In Yan Chaolu's opinion, if he could really kill Lu Mingyang who had recovered to his peak strength by spending 500 million top-grade gold beads, this deal would not be too bad a deal.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will always pay attention to the news of the Hidden Killing Society!"

Luo Wuxu took the lead and left. In his opinion, this time Lu Mingyang was absolutely unable to fly.

He couldn't imagine what kind of fatal blow the six-star killer sent by Hidden Kill would deliver.

Watanabe Castle, the City Lord's Mansion!
"Bastard!"

A roar of anger came from a certain room, so that the people outside did not dare to utter a breath, because they all knew that it was made by Master Huaguang, the chief poisoner of the City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone could hear the fury in that voice, but they didn't know what happened, let alone that Kang Xian, the martial artist of the three realms, was actually the Queen's poison tester of Master Huaguang.

In this small Watanabe City, it is not easy to find a martial artist of the three realms, and a martial artist of the three realms who has experienced countless times of severe poisonous erosion and already has a strong resistance to poison is definitely not a possibility for Master Huaguang none.

"The matter has come to this, it is useless to be angry, let's think about how to deal with the judge!"

Inside the room, City Lord Yang Xun glanced at the runaway Master Huaguang, and couldn't help persuading him, with a hint of persuasion.

In his impression, the chief poison master of the palace had never lost his composure in front of him before.

Of course, Yang Xun had already received the news of Kang Xian's death. At the very beginning, he didn't touch Master Huaguang's bad luck, but only visited today.

To be honest, even Yang Xun was taken aback when he heard that Kang Xian was killed by the judge.

That is a perfect martial artist of the three realms, and he is extremely resistant to poison, so why was he still killed by the judge?

Yang Xun even went to the courtyard of Guqi and checked it himself, but apart from Kang Xian's body and that line of big characters, he couldn't find any clues at all.

When Lu Xun was about to leave, he took away those formation flags, so that no one except Gu Qi knew that he was still a formation master, and it would be more convenient for him to do things in the future.

"It looks like we all underestimated that judge!"

Seeing that Master Huaguang was angrily silent, Yang Xun could only sigh with emotion again.

This sentence undoubtedly aroused Master Huaguang's anger again, and the breath on his body was a little uncontrollable.

"I swear, I must find out that judge dog thief and smash his body into thousands of pieces to vent my hatred!"

The rhetoric from Master Huaguang just caused Yang Xun to curl his lips. Now that you can't even find the shadow of the judge, how can you talk about revenge?

What's more, Kang Xian's identity is relatively sensitive, and on the surface it doesn't have much relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, at most he is Kang Xian's poison tester.

If you really want to break it up, it won't do any good to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Father, I think the most urgent thing is to deal with the Zhendong Prince's Mansion first. An insignificant judge just killed our two dark sons unintentionally. It's not too late to deal with him after the major issue is resolved!"

Yang He, the young city lord who had not spoken all this time, suddenly made a sound, causing Master Dehuaguang to stare at him, while Yang Xun on the other side nodded towards his son in satisfaction.

It seems that his precious son knows the general idea. A judge who only knows how to assassinate secretly is nothing more than a must-have disease. It will not affect the City Lord's Mansion too much at all, and the other party is not specifically targeting people in the City Lord's Mansion.

Yang Xun wanted to do big things, and the annexation of Zhendong Prince's Mansion is the top priority of the City Lord's Mansion at this stage. Otherwise, wait for Zhendong King Lu Mingyang to recover the strength of the five realms, then nothing will be mentioned.

"Master Huaguang, don't worry, as long as the Zhendong Prince's Mansion is in trouble, the city lord promises that he will do his best to help you find the judge, and how about you hacking him into pieces with your own hands?"

Seeing that Master Huaguang was still a little upset, Yang Xun had no choice but to appease him again. Without the full help of the fourth-rank poison master, he really didn't have much confidence that he would be able to annex the Zhendong Palace.

"Master Huaguang, didn't you say that you used poison in Zhendong Wangfu that day? Why has it been so long, and there is still no movement in the Wangfu?"

Yang He is not a broad-minded person. He was glared at by Master Huaguang just now, and now he remembered something, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the words he said.

In fact, Yang Xun and Master Huaguang had already tacitly agreed on this matter more than half a month ago, but neither of them mentioned it.

Yang Xun, the lord of the city, has a very deep city mansion, so naturally he will not sweep Master Huaguang's face on the bright side.

But Yang He couldn't control that much, his father valued this fourth-grade poison master so much, but the old guy Huaguang only took money and did nothing.

What about poisoning all the important figures in Zhendong Palace?
