People travel through the heavens, playing infinite roles

Chapter 59, The Fate of the Shadow Assassin
That night was a night full of killings. In the Guanxing Pavilion of Xuanwu King City, the sound of killings could be heard outside.

The rebellion was easily quelled. On the second day, the eldest prince carried out the enthronement ceremony as if nothing happened last night, and his brother seemed to be still alive and not beheaded.

And all of this was seen by Chu Yun and Wuyan who were in the star gaze pavilion.

In the three years since the eldest prince ascended the throne, there has been constant friction between the Xuanwu Kingdom and the Stuart Kingdom, which eventually led to the outbreak of the national war.

Except for the Guardian Envoy who is in charge of the palace, the other forces of the Xuanwu Kingdom participate in the national war. Among these forces, the sharpest blade is undoubtedly the seven shadow assassins wielded by the leader of the assassins.

Today's Qi has become the head of the seven shadow assassins, and Chu Yun also sent secret guards to find out the origin of Liyue, the woman in white beside him.

Liyue was brought into the assassin organization by the leader of the assassins for training when she was young, and she was placed among a group of children to fight with them in the way of raising Gu. Under this training method, there were two people who survived in the end, and Liyue was one of them.

The other person who survived was Qi, who became a shadow assassin only after experiencing this cruel training method.

This also explains why Qi and Liyue knew each other, because the two were most likely companions who were in the cage together and fought side by side.

In the end, Qi was arranged by the assassin leader to become a shadow assassin, while Liyue seemed to be arranged to be an ordinary assassin...

But things are not that simple. Chu Yun guessed that Liyue was a knife hidden by the leader of the assassins. The reason why she was not allowed to become a shadow assassin was also to keep her from being too exposed to the sight.

……

Stargazing Pavilion.

Chu Yun received the battle report from the front line, the above content is roughly as follows:

The chief assassin, Qi, sneaked into the enemy's camp by himself and assassinated the king of the State of Sturt. The army of the State of Sturt fled without a leader.

The king was overjoyed and decided to hold a banquet in the palace to reward the troops.

This banquet invites all parties, even if they have been sitting in the palace all the time, the Guardian Envoys Chu Yun and Wu Yan who have not participated in the battle are all on the invitation list.

However, the two of them were used to the quiet life in the Guanxing Pavilion, and they felt uncomfortable going to such a noisy place, so they simply refused the invitation.

In the final analysis, the new king is not the old king after all, even if the guardian does not listen to his order, he will not dare to get angry.

……

In the evening, Chu Yun climbed to the top of the Guanxing Pavilion and looked at the entire palace, while Wuyan deduced the secrets in the pavilion as usual.

Suddenly, a purple-black figure appeared behind him, holding a knife in his hand, but the knife was not out of its sheath, and holding two jugs of wine in the other hand.

"The king has a big banquet today, why don't you, the chief hero, go?"

Chu Yun sensed the person coming from behind, without turning his head, his voice was calm and indifferent, as if he knew who was behind without turning his head.

"As a guardian, you didn't go to the banquet either."

A purple-black figure gradually emerged from the darkness, with a hood on his head. This person was Qi, the chief hero of this celebration feast, who went to assassinate the king of Stuart alone, leading to the premature end of the war.

"drink wine?"

Qi handed over a jug of wine.

Chu Yun took the wine from Qi, opened it, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, "The best palace jade wine."

Guess it was from the banquet when Qi arrived.

Since the first battle in the palace three years ago, Qi has not come to Chu Yun to compete.

By chance, after the two met, Chu Yun casually threw a jug of wine to Qi, but unexpectedly he took it and drank it.

From then on, Qi would always visit the Guanxing Pavilion to find Chu Yun for a drink from time to time.

The first life, the second time acquaintance, after a long time, Chu Yun gradually became acquainted with this world's number one shadow assassin. Although the two camps were not on good terms, their relationship seemed like friends.

After all, even though Qi is the number one shadow assassin in the world, Qi doesn't behave like an assassin. Taking his behavior in the palace as an example, which assassin likes to attack head-on?

Thinking back to this point, Chu Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Have you thought about becoming an assassin in the future?"

Hearing this, Qi was startled, her eyes were confused, then she shook her head: "No, I can only kill people."

Qi opened the wine in his hand and drank it, as if he wanted to use it to relieve his sorrow, "Shadow assassins all have the same fate, they die in the killing, and my future fate is also the same..."

"I don't think so."

The monks in this world don't have any rules and regulations, so Chu Yun took a sip of his wine and said, "Maybe in addition to killing people, you will also sell offal in the future."

"Did you foresee it?"

Qi frowned, turned her head and stared at Chu Yun with piercing eyes, eager to get an answer.

The guardian can predict the future secrets through special secret methods. He knows this, so when he heard Chu Yun say that he will sell offal in the future.

Qi immediately thought of it, Chu Yun had foreseen his future just now.

"Maybe……"

Chu Yun smiled meaningfully and gave an ambiguous answer.

Qi was silent and didn't ask any more questions.

The two looked at Xuanwu Kingdom in the dark night and drank quietly.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the palace, "Come here, your majesty has been assassinated!"

Assassinated in the palace?Chu Yun frowned, lightly tapped the toe of his shoes on the top of the tower, and his whole figure walked towards the palace leisurely, with Qi's figure following closely behind him.

Guanxing Pavilion is not far from the palace, and the two quickly arrived at the place where the screams came from, which is where the king was assassinated.

I saw that this place was already surrounded by layers of forbidden troops, but after Chu Yun came, the forbidden troops did not dare to stop them, and hurriedly separated a road in an orderly manner, allowing Chu Yun, the guardian envoy, to enter.

As for Qi next to Chu Yun, the Imperial Army didn't dare to stop him. They still knew about the famous Chief Shadow Assassin.

The first time he entered, Chu Yun saw the king lying in the arms of the maid with a dagger stuck in his abdomen, and Li Yue who was captured by the imperial army.

The development of the situation is already obvious, Liyue is the assassin who assassinated the king.

But Liyue has no reason to assassinate the king, the king of Xuanwu Kingdom has no hatred for her.

Excluding the family feud, the only remaining possibility is that she is following orders.

As for the person who gave the order, besides the leader of the assassins, Chu Yun couldn't think of anyone else.

"Come here! Take this assassin to the top of the Tongtian Tower, and choose another day to kill him!"

The current king grabbed the dagger in his belly, and in a state of extreme anger, he still gritted his teeth and gave orders to the imperial army.

At this moment, before the imperial doctor arrived, he didn't dare to make big movements, and he didn't dare to fluctuate his emotions, because the dagger was stuck in his belly, and if he moved too much because of emotions, the dagger might cut through Intestines, causing secondary damage.
