Otherworld Qin

Chapter 59 Chapter 65

Akinu was sitting in the bedroom with a sad face. Today he got a very bad news. Originally, he and the Elder Gu Zhu were going to join forces to overthrow the regime of the Dugu family, but suddenly he learned that the elder had already taken action. The reason was that His granddaughter was assassinated. To say that Huangfu Ling'er was also Aqinu's granddaughter really made him feel a little heartbroken, but he could tell at a glance how important it was compared with this major military incident, and he couldn't help sighing "Huangfu Yixin" You are too anxious for this step, our two-year plan will come to naught, how can you act so hastily?"

As early as when Gu Li conspired with him to capture Nanming, Gu Li had revealed inside and outside his words that he wanted to attack Gu Zhu in a few years. At that time, he strengthened his guard, knowing that Gu Li would kill him sooner or later. Do it, if you really help him get Guzhu, I am afraid that the time will be when Sanmiao is in trouble. At this time, the dark tide is raging inside Guzhu. Huangfu Yixin asks him for help, and wants to use Sanmiao's power to usurp the throne. It really brightened his eyes, if he helped Huangfu seize the throne, then with this assistant, Jingman might not dare to do anything to him again.

Since then, he has stepped up preparations, but his own country lacks weapons, so he can only buy them from other countries, but the best country for making weapons is Qingqiu, but it is thousands of miles away, and there is a lonely bamboo in the middle. When the weapon was delivered to him, he accepted the deal without hesitation, but he didn't expect that this move would cause Jingman's dissatisfaction, which really made him right or wrong, and made the delicate relationship between the two countries suddenly tense.

In fact, Akinu disagreed when they robbed Jing Man of the weapons, but those steel hand crossbows were indeed a huge threat to San Miao, and if they had those steel hand crossbows, it would be of great help to their plan. So he didn't stop him, and the situation in Lone Bamboo was indeed extremely tense at that time. The royal family frequently attacked the army. I am afraid that they will soon wield butcher knives at these big families, so Huangfu Yixin secretly sent private troops to rob. Miao didn't directly send people to participate, and even made a purchase gesture, just to guard against someone discovering their plan, but who would have thought that the weapons obtained by the Chilong Chamber of Commerce would be taken back, and instead, he would lose a lot of people. It was tantamount to announcing it to the world, which aroused Jingman's dissatisfaction. He wanted to wait for this matter to calm down, but he knew that the other side actually took the lead, and his troops were not ready yet. How could he not be filled with anxiety?

After thinking for a long time, he asked the attendant who reported the letter, "When was Huangfu Ling'er assassinated?" The attendant hurriedly said, "About a month ago." "Oh, how did it take you so long to get the news?" It’s almost down, usually it’s not scary for Akinu to yell, but this kind of calm questioning is the most terrifying time, so he hurriedly said, “It happened suddenly, and Gu Zhu blocked the news very hard, now Yun The mountain city has banned all people from passing, so..." Akinu couldn't help but said angrily, "Trash, you can go down." The attendant ran out quickly.

Akinu wiped his face wearily, then stroked his beard lightly, "Come here." Suddenly a servant came in, "What are your orders?" Ready to send troops to Guzhu." The attendant stood there suddenly, his face changed drastically, and Akinu was furious, "Why don't you go quickly." The man hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he ran out in a panic.

After the attendant left, Akinu stayed for a long time before regaining his spirits. Now that things had come to this point, he could only do his best. He walked slowly to the window, opened the window and looked up at the sky full of stars.

At this moment, someone suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, the Witch King said he has something important to discuss with you." "Oh? What's the matter?" "The Witch King said it's about the little princess, so he wants his Majesty to go to the temple to discuss it in detail." After saying this, Akinu was overjoyed, "Is there any news about Cai'er? You go and tell the Witch King and I'll be there right away." After speaking, he hurried to the bedside, grabbed her clothes and put them on his body, and then walked out, the attendant hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, stay here. "Akinu suddenly said angrily, "What else is there?" "Your Majesty hasn't worn shoes yet." The bedroom is full of carpets, of course you don't need to wear shoes, but how can you go barefoot if you have to walk a long way to the temple?
Akinu hurried to the temple with the guards around him, when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by, he couldn't help shivering, and couldn't help sighing, "It seems that I am really old, this little late spring breeze makes my whole body It's cold." Suddenly there was chaos in the distance, and someone shouted "There are assassins!" This sound was so ear-piercing in the quiet night, and there was a sudden chaos in the palace, all the guards rushed there, and the few people around him also rushed there. Hastily drew out his weapon to surround him, "Your Majesty, I think we should go back because it is dangerous here." Aqinu pondered for a moment, and there was a hint of ominousness in his heart, but the news of Cai'er was more important to him than anything else, so he couldn't help but Gritting his teeth, "It's just a few thieves, don't panic and let's continue walking." He said and went straight to the temple.

,,,,,,,

At this time, Shengxuan had already used the earth escape to sneak into the palace, but in this huge palace, he couldn't tell the direction at all, so how would he know where Caier's room was?He could only search quietly in the dark, and suddenly heard someone shouting that there was an assassin, he was startled, and hurriedly dodged in the dark, but saw many guards running towards the southwest of the palace, not towards him , he was relieved, it turned out that he did not expose himself, but suddenly he remembered that the assassin was going towards King Sanmiao?After all, he was Cai'er's father, and Cai'er was his friend, so should he help?

After a little hesitation, he decided to go over and check the situation. Just as he was sneaking towards the direction of the sound, he suddenly felt someone flashing past his head, which made him more alert, but that person was obviously stronger than himself. He went up a little bit, and he seemed to be very familiar with the palace, unexpectedly he would be left behind after a few dodges, he could only chase all the way in the palace based on his feeling.

,,,,,,,

Akinu had just led the people out not far away, when suddenly several assassins rushed straight towards them, and several guards rushed up to stop them while shouting "Hurry up and protect Your Majesty to leave." At this time, there were only two close guards left beside him. Wei, hurriedly rushed towards the temple with him in his arms, suddenly a black shadow rushed over, and a sharp fighting light flashed past, a guard felt the movement behind him and hurriedly waved his weapon to resist, while the other had already led him He threw out Zhang Xu, but the Dou Mang split the guard who stepped forward to resist in half, and the black shadow was already standing in front of him.

The other guard rushed forward with a roar and swung his sword, and the two of them fought together immediately, but the man's martial arts skills were very strong, and he knocked down the guard to the ground in just a dozen rounds, and then he took the sword to the ground. Akinu rushed forward. At this time, Akinu was no longer flustered, and immediately recruited his own Gu worm, a giant colorful poisonous spider. As soon as the poisonous spider appeared, it sprayed a stream of venom towards the assassin like lightning. Then he quickly made a huge net around his master, separating him from the assassin.

Akinu calmed down and asked, "I know I'm not your opponent. I just want to ask you who is the mastermind, so that I can understand." The assassin didn't answer but stopped his movements, obviously He is also very afraid of this spider web full of venom. This spider web is extremely thin, and it will move with the wind as long as there is a slight breeze. Although he can shatter it with his fighting spirit, it is inevitable that there will be debris on his body, and that one The poisonous spider was staring at him with a dozen big eyes, at this moment a red light flashed, the poisonous spider fell to the ground, the assassin hurriedly flew aside, at this moment the poisonous spider The spider's body burst suddenly, and the red light disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Akinu couldn't help but understand in his heart, and couldn't help saying angrily, "Witch King,,,," but before he could say the following words, a bloody arrow shot out from his neck, and he stretched out his hand toward the temple with his eyes wide open. He grabbed it, then fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing that the assassin had succeeded, he quickly dodged to leave, but was blocked by Sheng Xuan who had just arrived. He had seen the scene clearly just now, but he didn't understand what the word "Witch King" meant, but the assassin Since he killed Cai'er's father, he must not let him go easily.

Shengxuan drew Gui Xiao casually, after all he has used this sword for several years, so how can he face such a master without a handy weapon?The assassin looked at him coldly, and he also stared at the assassin closely, but suddenly he heard the assassin say, "So it's you, you've grown up a lot, but why did you come here?" Why is this voice so familiar?Suddenly a name flashed in his mind, "Chu Zhengnan!" The surprise was no small matter, and he opened his mouth wide in shock, "How can I test you?" Chu Zhengnan said coldly, "It's just a favor." In a flash, he disappeared into the night.

Sheng Xuan just wanted to chase him and ask him carefully, but at this moment a large group of imperial guards rushed over, and there was a sudden chaos, "The assassin is here to catch him." "Don't let him escape." "The king was assassinated. All kinds of voices rang together, and all kinds of weapons also attacked him. In desperation, he had no choice but to fight hard. With his superb escape ability, he finally managed to fight a bloody road and escaped from the capital city of Gebera.

When he escaped, Chu Zhengnan was nowhere to be seen, and this time he was charged with assassinating the king, how dare these three seedlings stay for a long time, and immediately took advantage of the night to rush hundreds of miles into the Dead Soul Mountain.

At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated. Should he go to Cai'er, tell her the bad news, and then explain everything to her?But what if she doesn't believe in herself?With a heavy heart, he couldn't help but walked slowly in the dead spirit mountain, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "Since we are friends, I think she will definitely believe me." Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and rushed towards the valley where Caier lived in seclusion, but he didn't run After a few steps, he stopped again, "How should I tell her? Do you want me to say that the assassin was Chu Zhengnan?" Although I don't know why Chu Zhengnan assassinated the king, but listening to him should be ordered by someone, then The instigator should be the real culprit behind the scenes, but if you don't tell what happened to Chu Zhengnan, how can you explain it yourself?He couldn't help squatting on the ground and scratching his head in distress.

,,,,,,,,,

At this moment, Chu Zhengnan had already circled around the city of Gebera, and then entered the Witch King's Palace. At this moment, the Witch King and Gu Li were waiting there quietly, when he suddenly saw him coming in, the Witch King hurried forward and asked, " How could he be so careless to let him release the Gu insect?" Chu Zhengnan already knew that the red light must be the ghost Gu of the Witch King when he heard this, and it was he who saw himself hesitating so he took out the poisonous spider in the dark , then said coldly, "The two guards around him desperately bought time for him." The Witch King said fiercely, "Then you should also rush up and chop him first." "Then I will die too, right? The result is what you want most?" The Witch King suddenly changed color, and it seemed that he was about to make a move, Gu Li grabbed the Witch King, and smiled slightly beside him, "This strong man, please don't be angry, the Witch King is also afraid that something will go wrong. So I got a little anxious,,,," Chu Zhengnan ignored him and said to the Witch King, "I have paid off the favor you gave me to survive, and from now on you and I have nothing to do with each other." Turning around and leaving the temple.

After he left, the Witch King said sternly, "We should get rid of this curse." Gu Li smiled beside him, "Are you sure to keep him? You know, if you do something here, all the soldiers in the city will be attracted immediately." Witch Wang still said unwillingly, "What if this person leaks the news in the future?" Gu Li chuckled, "Don't worry, King Wu, I think this person is a very trustworthy person, and he will never tell you, but I am very curious. This person said that you have the grace of life for him, but in my memory you have always only killed people and never saved people." The witch king calmed down after a change of face and said with a smile, "This person is originally from Nanming, and he fell into death by mistake. He was injured by poisonous insects in Lingshan, and later he was found by the doctor Wu Miao when he was collecting medicine, and he was brought back for treatment. At that time, I saw that this person survived for many days due to the severe poison in his body. He promised to return this life to me in the future, and I saw that this person will be of great use in the future, so I followed the promise." Gu Li squinted at the Witch King and then sighed, "Your favor is a blessing. It's a treasure, but it's a pity that you can't take advantage of such a talent." Shaking his head repeatedly, the Witch King was taken aback when he heard this, but his heart was instantly filled with joy over Akinu's death, and he stopped meddling in these nosy matters. He smiled happily and said to Gu Li, "Since the matter has been successful, why bother? Let's have a drink together to celebrate."

,,,,,,

After much deliberation, Shengxuan decided to meet Cai'er, tell her the bad news as soon as possible, and explain the matter to himself, saying that he misses her and wants to visit the palace, and then encounters an assassin, fights against the assassin, and wants to Take him down and ask who is the mastermind, but the palace guards mistakenly think that he is also an assassin, so they escaped in desperation. I believe that this kind of statement should make Caier believe it. Cai'er ran to her seclusion.

When he got there, he found that the things he bought for Cai Er had been torn into pieces and thrown all over the floor, and the small building was empty, and when he went to the earthen house, he found that it was even more clean. Could it be that the girl has already left?Since she didn't go back to Sanmiao, where else could she go?And why did you tear up everything you gave her?Obviously it was done under extreme anger, and he didn't offend her, did he?Could it be that she knew the news of her father's death so quickly and made this account on herself?Thinking of this, he couldn't help shivering, he won't be chased by her all the way again.

Shengxuan was both worried and afraid, and waited for a day under the torment of this complicated mood, but there was no trace of Caier. It seemed that the girl had really left, so he left the valley and ran towards Yunshan City with complicated emotions.

It was only when we arrived at Yunshan City that we realized that the city gate was already closed and no one was allowed to pass through. When did it start to be closed?In desperation, he had to wait until night to sneak into the city under the darkness of night, only to find that the atmosphere of war was everywhere after entering the city. The city is full of lonely troops, and they are still tensely reinforcing the fortifications at night. It seems that they are preparing for a war.

He didn't dare to delay here, and he left Yunshan City overnight with his own skills, and then ran all the way towards Karin, but what happened next surprised him. He wrote that he killed Huangfu Ling'er, she was still alive when he left the academy, how could he become her murderer in just over a month?But who can I tell this to?Now that the arrest warrants have been pasted on the city gate, if he is found, he will be arrested immediately, so he has no choice but to walk carefully towards Karin along a remote path.

There were several small-scale battles along the way, and after carefully looking at the banners of the two parties, he saw a clue. It turned out that Chunyu's family and the elder's family had already fought, and Gu Zhu was really in civil turmoil.

Do you want to go back to Karin?He began to hesitate, but when he thought that he had been charged with murder for no reason, he couldn't help being extremely unwilling, and he wanted to go back and find out what happened.

He was wronged for no reason, and in Sanmiao, he might be mistaken for the real culprit who assassinated the king. How could he be so unlucky recently?It all happened after I left Karin. I was worried about Tianyimen so I was anxious to go back and have a look, but Tianyimen is much better than I imagined. If I had known this before, why did I take the trouble to make this trip?After this trip, he had two murders on his back, and one was more troublesome than the other. He couldn't help but think of the sword he asked Master Elis to make for him. Could it be that this sword is really a disaster?Whoever touches it will be unlucky?

He took out the sword from the ring and slashed at a stone with all his might, only to hear a cracking sound, the stone was split in two, but the sword was unharmed, he really wanted to kill the sword Throwing it in the middle of the mountain, but holding it in my hand, I couldn't bear to throw it away. Then I thought, isn't the ghost howl I'm holding the same?Now what does his bad luck have to do with the sword? Thinking of this, he clenched the sword tightly and used his fighting spirit to strike out in the void. He had to rely on his own strength and use this sword to clarify these matters. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but Looking at the sword in his hand, "I'll ask you to stop it later."
