Chapter 440

Sighing, the prince said, "Okay, don't mention these things, tell me about the southern border, and the matter of the son of the barbarian city lord. Is there any progress? Others say that Nangong Jian killed it. Although I People who are not in the southern border, but who don’t believe in General Yi Nangong, go back to deal with a small wild city son, "

Nodding her head, Linglong said, "I also found out through some means in southern Xinjiang. There are signs that someone killed Long Yunfei, the eldest son of Long Xiaotian, the lord of Manhuang City."

Although Linglong didn't say who borrowed the hand, the prince knew who it was.

"Also," Linglong said in a deep voice, "I don't know if big brother knows, but in recent years, a very secretive but powerful killer organization has emerged in the empire. I heard that as long as they are below King Wu, there is no one they can't kill." , even if it is a master at the level of King Wu, it is possible to kill the masters of this killer organization. According to the information I ordered to investigate, I suspect that the person who killed Long Yunfei was a member of this killer organization."

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the prince snorted coldly, "This killer organization, I know, was established in the imperial capital seven years ago, and its founder was the former second master of the Southern Academy who was said to have been killed by Fang Yin." , Zhuang Shu, "

"Brother already knows." Linglong nodded, and said seriously, "This Zhuang Shu is a very scary person. All of his subordinates are master swordsmen. I heard that each one of them is involved in a murder case."

"Well," the prince said coldly, "I have investigated this person. He and Fang Yin are sworn enemies. I think the purpose of his establishment of the killer organization should be to deal with Fang Yin. Even the name of the killer organization under him is not It is an allusion to Fang Yin,"

"Death," Linglong said, "It sounds like a scary name, so it shows that this organization is not a good one."

"Yes," the prince sighed, "I wanted to pull it out a long time ago, but it's a pity that Zhuang Shu is too cunning, he scattered his subordinates, and the organization didn't have a fixed location, and someone secretly blocked it. , I only know that there is such a killer organization in the empire, but I don't know where they are, "

Seeing her elder brother's sad and helpless face, Linglong couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As the crown prince of the empire, as the next monarch of the empire, her elder brother is undoubtedly qualified, not to mention other things, just from the prince who has been thinking about the empire, and has not yet married, his thoughts are all on hard work To save this empire that is gradually on the verge of collapse, maybe he can't be said to be a talented and strategic monarch, at least he, the prince, has fulfilled his responsibility.

Looking at the prince, Linglong smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, big brother, let's not talk about this, I still know Fang Yin a little bit, and I also met him when I was in Fengyun Mountain Range."

Under the surprised eyes of the prince, Linglong briefly explained the matter, and then said, "He went to that dangerous place spontaneously in order to save Zifang. He thought he was dying, but he didn't expect him to come back alive." , was also named the Deputy Commander of Dingbei by your eldest brother, and now, he is even named Marquis of Dingbei, "

"So that's the case," the prince pondered. "I mean, Qin Shuang, why did he recommend Fang Yin? It seems that Fang Yin went to Fengyun Mountain to obtain Nine Suns Sunburning Grass for him."

Looking at Linglong, the crown prince said, "Linglong, what do you think about making Fang Yin Marquis of Dingbei?"

Linglong frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Using the words of the imperial decree, the son inherits the father's business. Since Fang Yin is Yan Yi's son, the two generations of them have made great contributions to Northern Xinjiang. Although Yan Yi It was just that he was named a General of Zhenbei, but his son has also achieved his step now, and with Yan Yi's favor, it is not a problem to make Fang Yin a Marquis of Dingbei, but..."

"But what?" The prince knew that although his younger sister said that she often walked around, she was still very concerned about the affairs of the empire. She had her own unique opinions on many things.

Looking at the prince, Linglong said in a deep voice, "However, in the past hundreds of years in the empire, no one has been conferred the title of Marquis, and even the Central General and Zhennan General are only conferred generals. Fang Yin, although he is Yan Yi's son, after all, is just a junior. Compared with General Zhong and General Zhennan, he is somewhat inferior. Now, big brother, you promote him as Marquis of Dingbei, will it give people in the world a sense of flattering Fang Yin? ,"

"Haha" the prince laughed loudly, and said, "I don't care if I am pleased or not, as long as Fang Yin accepts the title of Marquis of Dingbei, accepts my kindness, and is willing to help me, as the prince of the empire, as long as he can restore the empire to the past No matter what others think of me, I don’t care about it. As for you saying that Fang Yin is a little worse than General Zhennan and Lieutenant General, that’s really good, but Linglong, you forgot one thing.”

"What's the matter?" Linglong looked at her brother suspiciously and asked.

His eyes were like lightning, the prince stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the distant sky outside the courtyard, and said in a deep voice, "Behind Fang Yin, there is a swallow wing. To win Fang Yin is not only to win him alone, but also the forces behind him. Nangong Jian and Lieutenant General, they will not be compared with Fang Yin, because Yan Yi is the one of their generation, "

Linglong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood her brother's true intentions.

Although Yan Yin is powerful, he is somewhat inferior to Yan Yi behind Yan Yin.

"Finishing Yanyin as Marquis of Dingbei is not simply to win him over, but to use this incident to tell the world that in the empire, at least I, the prince, recognize Yanyin and Yanyi," the prince said in a deep voice "What happened back then was a conspiracy, a conspiracy that made the empire turbulent and the regime unstable today,"

In an unnamed town, in front of a dilapidated house, a figure quietly looked at the house in front of him.

The house was dilapidated, the rubble and eaves were riddled with holes, and there were layers of thick silk tendrils on the walls and corners of the eaves.

The corners are covered with weeds and vines.

The figure looked at the door of the house, where there was a plaque.

The plaque was already tilted and dusty.

There are two big characters written on it: Zhuangfu.

"It's been so many years since I came back to this ancestral house, but I didn't expect to see such a dilapidated scene. The childhood memories and the beauty of the past have gradually faded away," the figure lowered his head and said to himself, "Father is dead. , my younger brother also died, but my mother also died of illness many years ago. As a son of man, I can't show my filial piety to him, alas..."

With a faint sigh, the figure slowly pulled out a sword from his hand.

This sword is very strange, he is black, but it is a broken sword.

It seemed to be broken from the middle by something.

"Zhuang's mansion, where do you come from without a home?"

A cold light flashed, and the broken sword slashed away.

Only a slight click sound was heard, and then calm was restored.

Quietly glanced at the dilapidated house, the figure turned and left slowly.

A gust of wind blew by, and the plaque hanging on the door suddenly turned into sawdust and burst open.

This figure was none other than Zhuang Shu, the founder of the Killer Organization.

The former second master of the Southern Academy has now become the leader of a killer organization. All of this is because of a person who used to be Fang Yin and is now Yan Yin.

Four figures of the "leader" appeared beside Zhuang Shu. Each of them was dressed in white and carried a long sword on their backs.

Wearing white clothes on their bodies, not only did they not feel elegant, on the contrary, there was an inexplicable coldness and loneliness.

"Tell me, what's the matter," Zhuang Shu said calmly, looking at the four of them.

"Someone offered 10 taels of silver and asked us to kill someone," one person said in a deep voice, "Qiu Yi from Southern College,"

"Hmm," Zhuang Shu frowned, and said, "Qiu Yi,"

"Yes" the man nodded and stopped talking.

With a little nostalgia in his eyes, Zhuang Shu said slowly, "Chou Yi is the teacher of Nanfang College. He once taught me some key points of swordsmanship. He has always been very quiet. He has been staying in Nanfang College for these years. He is a veritable My good teacher, who is going to kill him, and he still pays 10 taels of silver, "

The man said humanely, "I don't know, it's the news from the subordinates that someone offered 10 taels to ask us to kill Qiu Yi. The subordinates know that the leader was a student of Southern College, so I ask the leader to make a decision."

After being silent for a while, Zhuang Shu said lightly, "Kill,"

The man was taken aback, glanced at Zhuang Shu, nodded, and said, "Yes,"

"Kill the person who paid us to kill Qiu Yi," Zhuang Shudao said. "Although I am no longer a student of Southern College, it is the place where I lived after all. People can be ruthless, but they have to be sympathetic."

There was a hint of surprise in the man's eyes, and he bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Yes, leader,"

After speaking, the person quietly retreated.

Looking at the other three, Zhuang Shu said, "What about you?"

One of them said, "Someone offered 5 taels of silver and asked us to kill a disciple of the Beast Sect."

"Naughty Beast Sect," Zhuang Shu pondered for a moment, and said, "If you can make it leak-proof, then do it."

The person nodded and said, "Yes, this subordinate understands,"

If it can be watertight, then do it, if not, then don't do it.

For Zhuang Shu, the Nu Beast Sect is a great sect after all, and he dare not rebel rashly, but as a killer organization, basic ethics are still required.

Seeing another person leave, Zhuang Shu looked at the remaining two and said, "What else do you need to deal with?"

"It's also paying to kill people," one person said, "However, the price this person paid is a bit bizarre, and the person he killed is also a bit unusual,"

"Oh..." Zhuang Shu said, "Tell me,"

"This person offered 10 taels of gold, please let us kill the deputy commander of Dingbei in Northern Xinjiang, Fang Yin," the person whispered, "He said, his surname is Yang"

With a raised eyebrow, Zhuang Shu said in a deep voice, "Fang Yin,"

Slowly closing his eyes, Zhuang Shu opened his eyes after a long time, and calmly said, "As expected of a member of the Yang family, 10 taels of gold is indeed very tempting. Tell him, we will accept this task, but the time to complete it will be decided by We decide,"

Nodding his head, the person left.

Looking at the last person, Zhuang Shu said, "I found out about him."

"Yes" the last person had a trace of regret in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "He appeared in the Second City, just like the leader, and now he is a Martial King. His swordsmanship is very fast. When the subordinates found him , he pointed his sword at the subordinate's neck, if the subordinate hadn't told him why he came, I'm afraid the subordinate would have died on the spot."

With his hands behind his back, Zhuang Shu said slowly, "Although your strength is not bad, but in front of him, it is somewhat inferior. After all, he was once the number one expert in Southern College, and even Feng Yunxiao never left behind his lifeless Shangguan sword. rainbow,"
