Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 121 Killing ()

Lady Cao shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"I haven't seen the assassin's appearance clearly either."

The commander looked at the frightened eunuch, who shook his head with trembling teeth.

The Assassin Grandmaster had previously fought against Chuang Po Tian, ​​whose blood was boiling and his figure had increased dramatically. In fact, the time was very short, and it only took more than one breath to kill Chuang Po Tian.

The two men were surrounded by energy and blood, covering their faces, not to mention the assassin's face.

The two of them really didn't see what each other looked like. They just looked at the figure and listened to the voice. They should not be very old, but they didn't know when such a young grandmaster appeared in this world again.

The commander could only clasp his fists and retreat, leaving only a few dozen guards in the courtyard. They jumped into the pit and carefully dug the emperor out of the soil bit by bit.

The assassin was too cruel and used heavy tactics to bury His Majesty's entire body in the soil like a pile.

The guards did not dare to use tools for fear of offending the dragon's body, so they could only use their hands to dig out the tools.

But he saw Chuang Potian's body falling softly. It was surprising that during the fight just now, his bones had been shattered, and he was only supported by the surrounding soil.

Madam Cao stood at the edge of the pit blankly, her brain running rapidly.

Except for the invisible moment at the end, the assassin actually used martial arts from beginning to end.

Could it be that, like Chuang Potian, the other party is just a newbie in cultivating immortality?

Moreover, why did the assassin seem to use Lao Chuang's special skill of burning blood?

Could it be that he is the strong player of Miss Pan Furong's family?

If it was really a blood-burning technique, after the opponent killed Chuang Potian, he was actually at the end of his strength.

A trace of annoyance flashed through her heart. If she and the leader eunuch beside her had mustered up the courage to rush forward, they might have been able to stop the assassin.

However, if the guess is wrong, it is just a matter of one shot.

Madam Cao then thought about it, forget it, she still couldn't afford to offend him.

Chuang Potian was already dead. No matter how prominent he was as emperor during his lifetime, it was not worth risking his life for a dead man.

Now, I still want to think about how to get enough benefits from Chuang Potian's death.

Chuang Potian has no relatives, and his only nephew is also dead.

The throne is now vacant, and without the support of Chuang Potian, how can she gain a foothold in the harem?

What's wrong with this dead dragon's death? Why did he die in his own palace? If the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he is afraid that he will cause trouble for him.

How can this be good?

No matter which new emperor ascends the throne, he will not want a woman like her who has given birth to children as a concubine.

I'm afraid that the cold palace is the best destination.

If the new emperor is cruel, even if he is given a white silk to die, it is possible.

Madam Cao's head was dripping with cold sweat, and the eunuch next to her was dripping with sweat.

He can also think of things that Mrs. Cao can think of.

His Majesty is dead, but his concubine and personal eunuch are still alive.

The concubine may not necessarily die, but she may still be able to survive in the cold palace, eating half a piece of sour cold steamed buns a day.

But he is the personal bodyguard and eunuch in charge of the seal.

There is the word "guard" in front of the seal, and it is his duty to protect His Majesty.

Now that His Majesty is dead, the rest of the personal guards have died in the battle.

He is left to live alone, which is the biggest dereliction of duty!

What other option does he have except death?

You should explain, why are you the only one left alive after so many master guards died? Does that assassin think you look strange?

I'm afraid you are either you or the assassin's insider. Otherwise, there are many courtyards in the palace, and normal people will get lost when they come in. How can that person be found so close to His Majesty's dragon bed?

If we want to hold people accountable, is it better to kill him alone, or to kill a lot of people?

After all, the emperor was assassinated. How many people would normally die in this line led by the nine admirals, the imperial guards, and the imperial guards? How many official hats have been taken away? How many boards were laid?

If all the responsibility is placed on him, the officials and leaders above will be forgiven and their sins will be greatly reduced.

The commander was shocked by the news of His Majesty's death just now, and he hurriedly went out to arrange for manpower to search Ouchi for traces of the assassin.

It won't take a while for the other party to react, and he is afraid that he will be taken away soon and suffer all kinds of torture in the sky prison.

If he couldn't catch the assassin, he would find some accomplices for the assassin. Anyway, there couldn't be a problem with the palace's security system. If he thought about it from his perspective, he would definitely do this.

The seal eunuch was about to cry.

No, we must survive in death!

He glanced at the guards who were still busy digging up the dragon's corpse under the pit, knelt down and kowtowed to Lady Cao, and whispered.

"Empress, we have to save ourselves..." he sobbed, "Your Majesty died in your palace. No matter who becomes the new emperor, he will not let us go."

"This slave will be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."

"Mother, even if you are afraid, you will not be safe."

Lady Cao was startled: "Cao Qing, can't you?"

But this eunuch has the same surname as her, from the same family, and his name is Cao Qing.

Cao Qing knelt down and cried.

"Your Majesty, why not? This is the palace, the most vicious and sinister place in the world."

"This slave is a eunuch from the former dynasty. Do you know what happened to the concubines who fell out of favor?"

"Being in the harem and eating some pig and dog food is not a bad thing, and being ordered to be buried is also a pleasure."

"When His Majesty was assassinated, he was just frightened, so he cut off the limbs of the concubine he was sleeping with and put them in jars to raise. These are all recorded in the history books."

"Mother, we have to save ourselves!"

Madam Cao's face turned gloomy after hearing this, and she turned her head to look into the pit.

Most of Chuang Potian's body was dug out in the pit, and his headless body lay limp, with blood gushing out from his neck.

Thinking that her beautiful head might end up like this in the future, Mrs. Cao shuddered, turned her head and stared at Cao Qing coldly, and said in a cold voice.

"Cao Qing, are you afraid that you will be executed, so you came to confuse me?"

Cao Qing bang bang kowtowed on the ground, and he was bleeding.

"Your Majesty, I have selfish motives, but what I tell you is the truth."

"Although you entered the palace and became a concubine, the queen and you have always been at odds. I'm sure she will add insult to injury."

"But in addition to being a concubine, you were also the leader of the rear army, and the current general is also a member of your clan."

"The rear army is now stationed in the capital. Your Majesty, in this chaotic situation, only with soldiers can you survive!" Cao Qing cried, "I am a grasshopper on the same rope as your Majesty now."

"In troubled times, the emperor is the one with strong soldiers and horses. As long as you contact the rear army, who dares to touch you?"

Cao Qing's heart skipped a beat and he said boldly.

"At that time, whether you are guilty or innocent, and His Majesty has no heirs, you will still be the leader who raised the army with him, and you are also qualified to sit on the throne."

"If the empress is willing to let others deal with her, I have nothing to say. We can just wait here to die together."

Madam Cao stood up with a cold snort and walked a few steps barefoot among the ruins.

I didn't expect it before, but now Cao Qing woke up.

The queen was Chuang Potian's concubine when he became king. She was the charming young lady whom Chuang Potian won the hearts of the nobles. She had always looked down upon her as a thief.

Now that His Majesty has been assassinated, it is indeed possible to take the opportunity to launch an attack.

Thinking that she was also born to rebel against the king with a sword, how could she be willing to let a noble lady and the new emperor who didn't know where to take control of her life?

She has a sword and an army, but she is still an old rebel king. She has friendships with all the leading figures in the rebel army. Chuang Potian has no heirs left. Why can't she sit on the dragon throne?

Even if you can't sit on the throne, it's not difficult to support the army to protect yourself and get a fiefdom. It's better than being worried now!

"Cao Qing, can I trust you?" Lady Cao asked in a deep voice.   Bang bang bang bang!

Cao Qing kowtowed fiercely, blood streaming all over his face.

"Your Majesty, this servant is so heartless and will not hesitate to do anything!"

Lady Cao smiled.

"Okay, since we are still the same family, I will recognize you as my godbrother."

"I don't dare to be this slave..." Cao Qing trembled with joy. This woman's ambition was stimulated and she was obviously going to take risks.

It's good to take risks. Only by taking risks can you survive.

"Brother..." Regardless of his refusal, Madam Cao pulled off the jade pendant that still had body temperature on her neck and handed it to him, "Take this..."

Lady Cao asked him to find a guard commander in the harem, who was one of her own soldiers. He would send his guards to take Cao Qing out of the palace to mobilize the rear army. The army set off and immediately surrounded the imperial city.

As for Cao Qing, he stayed in the army and never came back.

"Empress...then you..." Cao Qing couldn't help but asked worriedly.

Madam Cao sneered.

"This palace is here. As long as the rear army surrounds the imperial city, who dares to touch me?"

"It would be better if the rear army could take the opportunity to enter the palace."

"The person named Qin on this dragon chair is not so lucky and cannot sit firmly. The person named Cao would be just as good."

She was born a bandit and had no respect for the imperial power.

Chuang Po slept in the same bed with her every day and saw her naked countless times, and he didn't feel any mysterious fear towards the emperor.

What's more, Chuang Potian was smashed to death in front of her just now.

Therefore, when ambition is stirred up and activated, it immediately grows like weeds and can no longer be contained.

"My slave obeys my orders! Madam, please wait for the good news from this slave." Cao Qing took the jade pendant and left in the chaos.

The two of them are really like grasshoppers on the same rope. He will definitely find the commander and save his life.

There was chaos inside and outside the palace at the moment.

Many eunuchs and maids were overjoyed when they heard the news of Chuang Potian's death. There were also many old soldiers who followed Chuang Potian all the way and were devastated to see him ascend the dragon throne. Isn't His Majesty a man of destiny?

How could he be assassinated and die?

Countless guards were even sent out of the palace to report to their respective masters, hoping to take the lead after the emperor's death.

There were even a few military leaders like Madam Cao who started to move, faintly pointing towards the throne of the Ninth Five Emperors.

Under the deep night.

The entire capital city was alarmed by this, and the roads were filled with chaos and chaos. The sound of galloping horses was endless, and the blades of armor were clanging.

The common people huddled in their homes and trembled, listening to the earth turning upside down outside. They just hoped that the gods would fight and not harm ordinary people like themselves.

There was a commotion.

No one noticed the vast walls of the capital.

In the shadow of a wall, a figure suddenly appeared in the void, but it was a man in black with blood on his chest.

At this moment, there were already many soldiers on the city wall. They were all nervously looking in the direction of the imperial city. Only a small soldier accidentally turned his head and saw a man flashing out of the void.

"Ghost... ghost..."

He was so shocked that he stuttered and raised his hand to point at the other person.

With just this stuttering technique, the man in black had climbed over the wall and disappeared.

"What the hell?" The leader of the patrol turned his head and looked around, but saw nothing.

He immediately turned around and cursed, "Little boy, do you not want to live anymore?"

"Didn't you see that everything in the palace was exploding? Something big must have happened! I don't know how many heads will fall tonight!"

"Now guard the city wall and don't give me any nonsense. I might anger the general above and chop off your head!"

"It doesn't matter if you die, don't get everyone involved..."

It turns out that at this moment, although the soldiers on the city wall were alerted by the ringing of bells all over the capital, they all mobilized.

However, they still didn't know what was happening in the palace. They just cordoned off the city walls and prohibited anyone from entering or exiting the city.

The little kid opened his mouth and wanted to say what he saw just now.

But then he thought about it, who would believe it if he said it? After all, only I saw it, and no one else saw it.

Are you talking about the sudden change in people around you? Isn’t this making yourself unhappy?

If you anger the leader, you will get a beating even if you don't behead him.

Suddenly he thought about it, didn't that man jump off the city wall?

As long as you point it out to the leader, you might make a great contribution.

This man's whereabouts are strange. There is no guarantee that it has something to do with the commotion in the palace tonight. If he is caught, there will definitely be a heavy reward.

The little kid hurriedly rushed to the wall and looked down.

In this short time, the man in black was clinging to the city wall like a gecko. With a few twists, he had already climbed down the city wall. In just a few steps, he had already run a few feet away, and soon merged into the deep night outside. In the color, it disappeared.

He slapped the wall in annoyance and shut his mouth tightly, feeling that he had missed a huge achievement.

The damn leader knew how to reprimand himself. If he had stopped wasting so many words just now and listened to himself, he wouldn't have wasted so long.

"Little boy, what are you doing standing there on the wall, you idiot? Come over here and form a team. The school officer is patrolling the city... Hurry up!"

"Oh, here we come..." The little kid instantly forgot what happened just now and ran over with a smile to squeeze into the queue.

clack clack...

The school officer stepped on iron boots and came over with a dark face.

"A nobleman in the palace has been assassinated. We need to keep a close watch on our city walls tonight. Not even a fly can escape!"

"Yes, sir!" Everyone agreed in a loud voice.

In the darkness outside the city.

Lu Ye stumbled forward, and after a while he found a small forest.

He got in and finally couldn't help it anymore.

Wow……

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Lu Ye untied his clothes, only to see two deep cuts on the front and back of the meteor armor. Even the inner garment that he had snatched from Gong Yangzi was not ordinary at first glance.

The wound on the chest was open like a baby's mouth, and there was a sharp penetrating wound on the chest near the shoulder blade.

These wounds were originally suppressed by his powerful master's body, but later they were broken by the boiling Qi when he used the blood-burning technique. The wounds were reopened and now looked bloody and bloody.

Fortunately, the blood flowing out was still bright red. Those half-step master eunuchs probably relied on their status and did not apply poison on the swords.

It seemed that the poison-reducing pills he prepared in advance were no longer needed, but he still felt that his physical condition was not good at this moment, and he felt weak in waves.

Lu Ye estimated that his combat power had dropped to more than two levels now. If a steel-framed martial artist came out, he might not be able to defeat him.

Fortunately, he finally escaped from the capital.
