Chapter 467 Kill and save

At the beginning of the month, the sky was cloudy, with thick clouds, no stars and no moon.

It is the day when the moon is dark and the wind is high, the day of murder and arson.

Mausoleum, the capital city of Nanyue, was immersed in the night at this time, as if it had already fallen into a deep sleep.

But at this moment a black shadow flitted across the roof silently, the movement was fast and extremely light, and after a few ups and downs, it landed silently in one place, and bent down, the figure in black night clothes immediately caught up with the surrounding night Melted into one.

He held his breath, looked at the roof for a moment, and saw that the courtyard was heavily guarded, and every quarter of an hour, a group of government soldiers would pass by, which was no different from the past.

However, he held his breath very calmly, and waited for a while while leaning on the roof. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he stretched out his figure and passed silently past a group of guards who were patrolling the courtyard.

Those guards felt as if there was a gust of cool wind blowing behind them, but when they looked back, they saw nothing.Little did they know that when they turned their heads back, a figure had already slipped past them, heading straight for the inner courtyard with ease.

Even in the middle of the night, the study room of Nanyue Guoxiang Mansion was still brightly lit.Today's Nanyue Kingdom Prime Minister Mao Rangjie is the backbone of the country, and he has gained the trust of the South Vietnam Emperor. In recent years, he has handed over most of the state affairs to the prince and the state minister. The state has inherited the emperor's knowledge and experience Well, the more diligent I am, the more I usually spend all my clothes and food, and I am busy until late at night.It was the same today, especially with all the complicated affairs in the court recently, Mao Rangjie was also very depressed, and he hadn't rested until the third watch.

There was a white booklet in front of him, and a few words were written on it. He picked up the pen and put it down, put it down, picked it up again, hesitated several times, but still did not write.

After a long time, Mao Rangjie finally sighed, put down the pen in his hand, and decided to get up, put the matter on hold for the time being, and go back to the room to rest before thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, the moment he got up, the window was suddenly broken from the outside, and the night wind blowing in swept in, causing the lamps on the desk to go out for a moment. Mao Rangjie opened his eyes and saw a black shadow, wrapped in the night wind. Coming, a sharp blade in his hand shone brightly and dazzlingly under the candlelight, rapidly zooming in before his eyes.

The man moved so fast that Mao Rang Jie didn't even have time to open his mouth and shout "Assassin", the point of the sword had already pierced his face, in a flash, Mao Rang Jie turned pale, thinking only of my death.

But he didn't expect that a thunderbolt struck from above his head, and with a "clang" sound, he pushed away the sword point that had pierced an inch from his chest, and made Jie stagger, and fell back to the seat just now. Go up, eyes open, watching two black shadows intertwine in front of you, and the sound of swords clanging.Although he is a layman, he also knows that the assassin who came today is not an idler, otherwise, how could he bypass the guards in his mansion and get here easily, but the person who came later was even more powerful, but in an instant, the assassin was already defeated by his sword.

However, before they had any reaction, the man bit his lips and tongue tightly under the veil as soon as he was defeated.Although the person in the back quickly removed the veil, it was too late, the poison sac in the assassin's mouth was broken, and in an instant, the person kicked his legs, his eyes were bulging, and a bloodstain slowly dripped from the corners of his eyes and mouth , the snow-white eyes were covered with strange purple-red bloodshot eyes in an instant, and it was already too late to rest in peace.

Mao let Jie sit slumped on the chair, unable to speak for a long time.

As the Prime Minister of a country, he has not been assassinated less often, but none of them have been as thrilling as this time.In just an instant, he had stabilized his mind, looked at the human being in front of him with piercing eyes, and said, "Who are you?" Since this person was able to save him in a critical moment, he must not be an accomplice of the assassin, but he can jump off the beam in an instant , I don’t know how long I have been lurking here, but I didn’t notice it at all.

However, the man obviously didn't mean to explain to Mao Rangjie, he held the sword in his hand and bowed to Mao Rang Jie. When the assassin came, he fled through the broken window.

"Come here!" Mao Rangjie shouted anxiously, but before the sound fell, the black shadow had rushed into the thick night like a cloud of black smoke, and he was nowhere to be found.

When the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion broke into the study as if they were facing a big enemy, they only saw Mr. Prime Minister of the State Council sitting on a chair with his face sinking like water, looking out of an open window, wondering what he was thinking, and A horribly dead body on the ground, not yet hypothermic.

On the other side of the mausoleum, an ordinary house of a wealthy family is still lit with lights and candles, but the remote side door is gently opened in the middle of the night, and the owner of the house welcomes a mysterious guest in person, wearing a dark cloak. It is tightly covered, even the face is covered by the hood, so you can't see clearly.

The owner of the house abandoned most of the people, leaving only one or two confidantes, and welcomed the guest into a well-guarded yard, until entering the house, only the owner and the guest were left in the house, The guest slowly took off the hood on his head.It showed a short beard, straight but a little puffy, with deep features, a typical South Vietnamese face.

The master here did not take a second look, and bowed lightly to the visitor, with a slight smile in his mouth, he called, "Lord Wu." What he said was a well-spoken and well-spoken Mandarin.

The person known as "Master Wu" nodded lightly, but he did not despise him, "Boss Yue, I have already discussed with His Highness about the matter earlier, and Boss Yue should understand the meaning of visiting late at night." , Is that thing still there?" Although Mr. Wu's famous official language had a little accent, which seemed a little weird, but at least it could be said completely, and it didn't hinder people's understanding.

"Of course it is." The man called "Boss Yue" was dressed like a well-known merchant, with satin clothes, hair tied with a silver crown, and a mustache. Show two points of sincerity that is rare. "Lord Wu, please wait a moment." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the inner room in two or three steps. When he came out again, he held a baby-sized jar in his hand and held it to the table in front of Lord Wu. After putting it on the top, Boss Yue lifted the top cover again, and then stepped aside, "Master Wu, please have a look."

That afternoon, my lord walked up to the jar, stretched his hand in, picked up some off-white powder in it, sniffed it between his nose and lips, and looked at it carefully for a while. There were two points of satisfaction that could not be concealed.

Boss Yue has been waiting by the side with a slight smile, without making a sound.It's just a movement of the ears, and a couple of voices can be heard, a pair of lacquered eyes flashed slightly, but there was still the same smile on the face, neither too eager nor alienated.

Lord Wu clapped his hands, covered the jar, nodded and said, "Boss Yue's shop is honest and sincere. Although it was only the last time I was lucky enough to meet Boss Yue's real face, it was like old friends at first sight. This time, I would like to thank you Boss Yue found this rare good thing, Boss Yue deserves it, and if there is a need in the future, he should ask Boss Yue for a lot of help."
