Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 300 King Killing and Son Killing (Two in One)

"Do you have any requirements for the size of the sword?"

the wine old man asked.

Some swordsmen have special requirements for the size of the sword, otherwise holding it will affect the strength.

"An ordinary three-foot sword will do."

"I don't know if the sword that someone has used before is okay?"

The old man asked again.

"After a successful assassination, some assassins in the organization are used to taking away the target's saber and selling it to the organization for extra money."

Assassins usually kill princes and nobles, and the quality of the swords they wear is generally not bad.

"can."

Li Qiu didn't have so many demands, because this sword might not be able to keep up with him for a long time.

The growth rate of his strength cannot be compared with normal theory.

If he didn't have so much money for the time being, he would directly ask for a weapon made of pure bronze.

A sword made of doped bronze, capable of withstanding the strength of a jiao-level body refiner, is very valuable.

Li Qiu took out a few pieces of crystal clear and flawless jade from his bosom.

There were no bank notes in this era, and he got some money by killing so many rich and unkind merchants, but it was not a lot, the most precious of which was some beautiful jade.

Jade contains strong vitality of heaven and earth. Li Qiu used jade to practice Qinghe Ningzhen Jue before, and the speed of practice was indeed a few points faster than usual, allowing him to break through to the fourth floor of Qinghe Ningzhen Jue. To break the brink is concerned.

The feeling that the speed of practice is faster than before is fascinating, but if it is compared with the improvement of the source power of more than ten years or even decades of cultivation in an instant, it is nothing.

After the heaven and earth vitality in the jade is absorbed, the color will become extremely turbid, and even cracks will appear and shatter directly.

The beautiful jade that Li Qiu took out was never absorbed by him.

Because jade contains the vitality of heaven and earth, coupled with its own beauty and flawlessness, it almost acts as a large-scale banknote in this world. Anyone with a little wealth of family background knows how to examine the fineness of jade to judge its value.

The old man Jiu took the jade and inspected it respectfully, and returned two beautiful jades.

"These are enough to pay for the sword."

"The sword you want will be delivered here in about seven days."

Li Qiu put away the beautiful jade.

"Then I will come back in seven days."

It is very inconvenient to assassinate without a sword, and he is not in a hurry for this moment.

Seven days later.

The old man Jiu took out a long sword with cold light from the sword box. The sword body was shaped like a willow leaf, with exquisite and complicated patterns on it. Near the sword grid, there were two ancient seals—Chengjun.

"The name of this sword is Cheng Jun. It was originally collected by the royal family of Xi, and was later rewarded by Xi Hou to Prince Ge as a portable sword."

he introduced.

The sons of princes are called sons, and the sons of the legitimate sons are called the sons of the world, and the one who will inherit the great rule in the future is the prince.

The son Ge is one of Xihou's sons named Ge.

Now that his saber is in Tian Wen's hands, the fate is self-evident.

shhhhh!

Li Qiu took the Chengjun sword, swung it twice, and after making two sharp piercing sounds, he carried the sword behind his back.

"Is there a commission suitable for me?"

For an assassin to accept a commission, first of all, the strength must meet the requirements of the commissioned assassin, which needless to say.

Secondly, the time and place must be satisfied.

Because most of the assassinated targets are princes and nobles, they usually live in their heavily guarded palaces or mansions, and only when they go hunting or playing are good opportunities for assassination.

However, the timing suitable for assassination does not occur every day, nor can it be ascertained in advance by the commissioner every time.

Opportunities never come again, so assassins generally have to be at a very close distance to the target, so that they can arrive at the target within a certain period of time to complete the assassination.

The old man thought about it and said.

"There is an assassination request right now, which is very suitable for you to complete."

"But this assassination commission is a little special."

"What's so special?"

"Because the target of the assassination and the commissioned assassin are a pair of father and son."

Li Qiu frowned slightly.

Among princes and nobles, due to power relations, it is very common for brothers to entrust assassins to assassinate each other or to assassinate capable people under each other, but entrusted assassinations between father and son are rare.

"The father wants the son to die, or the son wants the father to die?"

"It's the former."

Li Qiu was even more surprised.

It is very rare for a son to ruthlessly entrust an assassin to assassinate his father, hoping to gain power from his father earlier.

It is rare for a father to entrust an assassin to assassinate his son since ancient times. After all, the poison of a tiger does not eat its children.

"Because of what?"

Li Qiu asked further.

The client was able to be informed by Tian Wen that he and the assassin were father and son, so the other party must have not tried to hide it.

In the assassination of this era, there are many people who hide their identities and commission the assassination, and there are also many who reveal their identities and explain the reasons.

The former situation generally does not occupy morality, fearing that the incident will damage one's reputation and bring disaster, while the latter generally occupies righteousness, and the news of entrusting an assassin to assassinate the target can become famous all over the world and be admired by others.

Li Qiu was very curious about what made his father entrust an assassin to assassinate his son, and the news of this incident would make his father famous all over the world.

The old man Jiu told the story slowly.

The father and son are actually Shuo Guo's predecessor Situ Weikuan and current Situ Weixi.

This matter started ten years ago.

In today's world, not only the emperor and the princes are hereditary, but also the officials and officials are generally hereditary, and the position of son and father is very common.

More than ten years ago, the former Marquis Shuo had two sons, one was the eldest son Luan, and the other was the son Hou.

The throne would have been inherited by the eldest son Luan without accident, and had nothing to do with the concubine's son Hou.

But a major event happened more than ten years ago, which caused the heir to the throne to be replaced by Gong Zihou.

Shizi Luan was caught by the guards in the palace and sneaked into the harem late at night to have an affair with the concubine of his former marquis Shuo, which caused an uproar in Shuo Kingdom.

Having an affair with a father and concubine is a treasonous thing that violates the principles of ethics!
The ministers have written letters requesting the abolition of the eldest son Luan. Such a rebellious and unscrupulous person must not be the king of the Shuo Kingdom, otherwise the world will laugh at him!

The former Marquis of Shuo was furious and ordered the execution of the concubine, and abolished the title of the eldest son Luan Shizi and demoted him to a commoner, and imprisoned him in a remote and bitterly cold place in the Shuo Kingdom for life!
Shuo Hou only had two sons, and the eldest son Luan was deposed. The son Hou who had nothing to do with the throne changed from the son Hou to the crown prince Hou. The king of Shuo Kingdom.

Until a few months ago, a rumor gradually spread in the palace of Shuo Kingdom and caused a lot of ups and downs, saying that the eldest son Luan did not have an affair with the former Shuohou's concubine, but was wrongly framed, and the culprit behind the scenes pointed directly at the current Shuohou.

Rumors spread all over the country, and those who experienced that incident in those years began to be suspicious, thinking that when it happened back then, there were indeed some small doubts.

For example, when Shizi Luan was found by the guards in the palace, he was in a trance, as if he had lost his mind, and even if he was declared to be abolished as a son and demoted to a commoner, and exiled to a remote and cold place in Shuo Kingdom, he would rather die than admit that he had an affair with his father and concubine Pass!
These things, in the past, seemed to be that Shizi Luan's affair was discovered and he was frightened out of his courage, and when things came to an end, he was lucky enough to refuse to admit the scandal he had done.

But looking at it in conjunction with the rumors now, there is something wrong.

Some ministers in the DPRK began to secretly investigate the matter, and when the matter was not found out, something even more surprising happened.

The eldest son Luan, who was demoted as a commoner and imprisoned in a remote and bitterly cold place in the Shuo Kingdom, suddenly died of illness!

It was not too early or too late, but when the court minister became suspicious and began to re-investigate the incident back then, the person involved died!

This made the ministers of the DPRK and China even more suspicious of the truth of what happened back then.

The former Situ Weikuan was also one of them. He used the banquet to inquire about this matter from his son, the current Situ Weixi.

Because his son Wei Xi was very close to Young Master Hou back then, after Young Master Hou succeeded to the throne and became Shuo Hou, he even became Shuo Hou's number one favorite, although he only inherited his position and became Situ , but the power is in the hands of the government and the public, it can be said that one person is under ten thousand people!
But who knows that he was just making indirect remarks. His son Wei Xi may be drunk, or maybe because he trusts his father very much, he did not hide it and was very proud to say that the eldest son Luan was indeed framed back then, and this incident It was his single-handed plan to push the son Hou, who had no chance of inheriting the throne, to become the king!

And not long ago, something leaked out somehow, Shuo Hou hurriedly called him into the palace, and it was he who made the plan to send someone to kill the deposed eldest son Luan.

Although doing so may make people more suspicious, but the previous Marquis Shuo only had two sons, as long as the eldest son Luan dies, so what if the son is too rich!

Wei Kuan listened to all this on the surface calmly, but in fact he was terrified and guilty.

Because he was one of the few people who took the lead in advocating that Shi Ziluan must be abolished or even executed!

And his son, Wei Xi, almost killed the king!It is really daring, rebellious and outrageous!
In this era, the status of the monarch and his ministers is almost equal to that of father and son. Whether it is a son who kills his father, or a minister who kills the king, it is a matter that is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and that both humans and gods reject it!

Then Wei Kuan gave Wei Xi a plan as rumors spread throughout Shuo Kingdom and Shuo Hou's unstable throne.

Shuo Kingdom has always had a good-neighborly and friendly relationship with the surrounding Hong Kingdom, and Honghou is being favored by the emperor. If Honghou can be invited to act as a lobbyist, so that the emperor can meet Shuohou and rectify his name, who can question Shuo again? Regarding the question of Hou's succession, wouldn't questioning Shuo Hou mean questioning the emperor!

Although the power of the royal family is declining, they are still the lords of the world in name, and what they say is tantamount to golden words and canonized edicts!
In order to let Honghou feel the sincerity of Shuoguo, it is best for Wei Xi, Shuohou's number one favorite minister, to serve as an envoy to Hongguo.

In addition, if Wei Xi can facilitate this matter and solve Shuo Hou's serious troubles, he will be even more favored by Shuo Hou!

Wei Xi was extremely excited when he heard this, and was very grateful to Wei Kuan for his advice, so he rushed to the palace and told Shuo Hou about the plan.

Shuo Hou also readily agreed, and according to Wei Xi's request, let him go to Hongguo as an envoy immediately.

So Wei Xi took some entourage and a few carts of gifts, and headed for Hongguo.

"...Wei Kuan came up with this plan for his son Wei Xi. Naturally, he didn't mean it sincerely, but wanted to lure Wei Xi away from Shuo Kingdom, and kill this regicide villain on the way, in the name of Zhengwei's family!"

After the old man finished talking about the whole story of the assassination commission, he stopped.

"I've accepted this commission." Li Qiu thought for a moment and said.

It just so happened that he could use this entrustment to further verify whether the amount of Yuanli obtained was related to the official position on the surface or the actual power.

This Wei Xi is nothing more than Shuo Guo Situ. Strictly speaking, there are still a few ministers in Shuo Guo with the same official position as him, but his power is less than one person and more than ten thousand!
If after killing him, the source power obtained is the source power of all the people in Shuo Kingdom, and the actual power determines the amount of source power.

If you only get a fraction of all the source power in Shuo Kingdom, then the superficial official position determines the amount of source power.

"In order to kill his son, Wei Kuan gave a total of six thousand gold. Among them, not only is your reward for killing Wei Xi, but also I hope that after you kill Wei Xi, you will throw this piece of silk cloth that records the whole story in Wei Xi. On the corpse of the past."

As he said that, the old man Jiu took out Wei Xi's route map and a piece of silk cloth as an envoy to Hongguo.

Li Qiu took the road map and the silk cloth and looked at them.

The content on the silk cloth is the same as what the old man said.

The information recorded on the road map is very detailed, not only about where Wei Xi will arrive someday, but also the strength to protect Wei Xi's people.

A body refiner with the power of the four beasts and a Qi refiner in the early stage of Lichen.

As for Wei Xi's own strength, it's only at the elephant level, almost negligible.

Li Qiu skipped over the portrait of the 虺-level body refiner with the power of the four 虺, and his eyes finally stayed on the portrait of the Qi refiner in the early stage of Li Chen, frowning slightly.

There is no need to worry about the ass-level body refiner who has nearly twice the strength gap with him.

Only this qi refiner in the early stage of Lichen was in trouble, so he had to be on guard against seeing that the situation was not right, and directly took Wei Xi away on the cloud.

He doesn't know how to fly high in the air, once the opponent is lifted into the sky, the assassination can be said to be a failure.

But as long as you are careful, you should be fine.

Since it is an assassination, it is natural that it should be killed with one blow when it is unprepared!

When people reacted, the assassination was over.

Li Qiu put away the road map and silk cloth.

"There should be a deposit for the entrustment, right?"

"Yes." The wine old man replied.

"In addition to these two jade stones, I need some practice methods to condense the primordial seed. I hope the organization can help me collect them. The more the better, the more profound the better."

Li Qiu took out the two beautiful jades that he had just put into his bosom.

"Of course." The old man took it respectfully, with some hesitation: "You just want to condense the cultivation method of the primordial seed?"

It's not surprising that most body refiners will seek out Qi refining methods to practice concurrently in order to prolong their own lifespan.

But for such things as Qi refining methods, only one of the most profound and powerful ones can be found is enough, and there is no use in having more, and no one only needs the basic method of condensing the primordial seed.

"I wonder if the organization can collect the complete Supreme Qi Refining Method?" Li Qiu's eyes brightened slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something.

The old wine man shook his head.

"almost impossible."
