Chapter 4 Assassinate the King and Kill the Driver
Emperor Li Zunxu of Xixia was over 50 years old. He was diligent and studious when he was young. He once passed the imperial examination of Xixia. He then had a smooth official career and commanded the military of Xixia. He had great power. He eventually launched a palace coup and gained the throne, becoming the first emperor of Xixia.
Eight emperors.
From this brilliant resume, people may mistakenly think that he is a heroic figure with great talent and strategy. In fact, this is not the case. Like all the Xixia emperors in this period, he was also a mediocre person. At this time, Xixia was like a
Even without the Mongol invasion, the terminally ill patients would not have been able to survive for long.
Li Zunxu moved into Ling'an Temple, but instead of bathing and fasting, he continued to play with his concubines. These concubines sneaked in wearing men's clothes. The monks in the temple just turned a blind eye and ignored them. Anyway, they prayed every time.
Afterwards, the emperor would reward a large amount of property and land to the temple.
This is a way for the temple to make money.
Li Zunxu's body had long been drained of wine and sex, and he looked like an ordinary old man. Ever since he became emperor, he couldn't live without this extravagant and luxurious life, and he was particularly excited in the Zen room, which was even more exciting than in the palace.
Because of his interest, he felt that a temple should be built in the palace for him and his concubines to have fun.
In the yard outside the Zen room, in addition to the two hundred imperial soldiers, there were six masters from the Xixia Yipintang. These masters came from the Xixia martial arts, and there were also two Buddhist monks among them.
Qu Feiyan dressed up as a young monk and passed by the courtyard. She took note of the physical features of the six people and the location of the imperial patrol. She couldn't enter the courtyard and couldn't tell which room the Emperor of Xixia lived in, but it didn't matter, Mei
Chaofeng can determine the general direction of Li Zunxu by listening.
Li Chengzhen and the Mingjiao people gathered together to summarize the information they had received, mapped out Li Zunxu's residence in the temple, and combined it with the topography of Ling'an Temple to formulate an attack and retreat route.
Because the emperor wanted to pray in Ling'an Temple, all the pilgrims in the temple were kicked out. They were now in the stronghold of Mingjiao. It is conceivable that no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, this medicine shop will be closed for a while.
Yang Kang pretended to listen carefully. However, most of his attention was focused on the little monk. He always felt that the little monk's attitude was strange, as if he had known him before.
Three years ago, he and Qu Feiyan only spent half a day together, and his impression of her was already vague. At this time, Qu Feiyan's appearance had changed, and even Qian Qingjian might not be able to recognize her here.
His Royal Highness shook his head and could only explain this strange feeling by saying that his charm was unstoppable even to the little monk.
The Mingjiao mobilized dozens of experts for this operation, which was all the strength of the Mingjiao near Xiping Mansion. It can be said that it was a desperate move. One of the young men named Fang Guangming caught Yang Kang's attention, not only because the name was very funny,
Also because this young man’s surname is Fang, Fang La’s surname.
The old monk was called the Crazy Master, which was obviously just a nickname. It is said that the layman's name has long been forgotten. He was holding an iron Zen staff in his hand. Yang Kang estimated that the Zen staff weighed at least fifty or sixty pounds. This old monk was not only a master of Qinggong.
The strength is not small.
This crazy master is the disciple and grandson of Baoguang Tathagata Deng Yuanjue, the protector of the country under Fang La. Baoguang Tathagata Deng Yuanjue was brave enough to be worthy of all men. He once fought with the flower monk Lu Zhishen for fifty rounds without deciding the winner. Later, the traveler Wu Song stepped forward to help.
, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song joined forces to kill Deng Yuanjue.
This shows how powerful Deng Yuanjue was. His set of crazy magic wand techniques shocked the martial arts world. Together with Fang La's Shi Bao, Li Tianrun, and Si Xingfang, he became the four major guardian Dharma kings of Manichaeism at that time.
This is where the nickname of Crazy Master comes from. The Crazy Magic Wand in his hands is as good as that of Deng Yuanjue.
The last one is the disciple of the crazy master, that strange little monk. Yang Kang did not find out the details of the little monk. It seems that people in the Ming Cult don't know either. Or they know but are unwilling to disclose it.
Li Chengzhen did not have Yang Kang's curiosity. He focused all his attention on this operation, which was the key to whether he could regain the imperial power. As long as Li Zunxu was killed, he would contact his father Li An'an's old subordinates in Xiping.
There was an uprising in the government and he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. At that time, the current crown prince Li Deren, who was in Zhongxing Mansion, was fighting with the Mongolian army and had no time to take care of him. This was his opportunity.
He and Li Deren are cousins, but in front of the imperial power, even biological father and son have no sympathy. What's more, he has the support of the Kingdom of Jin. Although His Royal Highness is unreliable, he does represent
From the Kingdom of Jin, this is the closest he has ever been to the throne, and there is absolutely no room for failure.
Everyone has made a decision and everyone is resting, waiting for the night's action.
As the prince of the Kingdom of Jin, Yang Kang did not need to participate in such dangerous actions. Mei Chaofeng was just doing it in the past. Yang Kang had warned Mei Chaofeng that if he encountered danger, he would do the best thing.
After dinner, Li Chengzhen and Crazy Master took their respective troops out of the medicine shop, disguised themselves, and headed towards Ling'an Temple. Only Yang Kang and the strange little monk were left in the medicine shop.
When traveling in the world, safety comes first.
His Royal Highness felt that staying in the medicine store was undoubtedly the safest place, but he did not expect that the little monk not far from him had a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The Mad Master observed the prince of the Jin Kingdom and confirmed the fact that Yang Kang did not know martial arts. In this plan, the Mingjiao not only wanted to kill the Xixia Emperor Li Zunxu, but also the King of Jin Wan Yankang. This was a double kill.
Bureau.
At this time, the only master beside Yang Kang, Mei Chaofeng, left. With Qu Feiyan's martial arts, he could easily kill a King of Jin who had no martial arts. Yang Kang didn't know that he was more dangerous than the Western Xia Emperor Li Zunxu.
The monk conveyed information about Mingjiao. After all, a young monk could not be too defensive.
"Little master, if you have nothing to do, why don't we chat." Yang Kang pretended to be amiable and said gently.
"What are you talking about?" Qu Feiyan said calmly.
The girl was thinking about whether to kill this enemy with a knife or capture him for interrogation first. She wanted to find out the ins and outs of what happened three years ago and let the King of Jin know whose hands he died.
Then he kills this person to worship his father’s spirit in heaven.
"Guangmingding is fun, isn't it?" Yang Kang said seductively.
"There's nothing fun in a remote place in the mountains." The girl replied casually.
"Your leader's surname is Fang?" Yang Kang guessed.
"How do you know?" Qu Feiyan asked in surprise.
"Isn't your Ming Cult the same Manichaeism as before? After the failure of the leader Fang La's uprising, the Manichaeans fled to Guangmingding in the Western Region and changed their name to Ming Cult." Yang Kang asked, "You are still the messengers of light and the four guardians.
Is there a structure for teaching the Dharma King? Has the Five Elements Flag or something come out?"
"You know too much." The girl said coldly.
Qu Feiyan suddenly touched Yang Kang's acupuncture points, knocked His Royal Highness to the ground, took out the ropes he had prepared and tied his hands and feet, turned him over and put him in the corner.
"Hey, you don't have to do this, right? This isn't a secret, it's common knowledge in the martial arts world." Yang Kang protested dissatisfied.
"Wanyankang, do you still remember what happened in the Niujiacun tavern three years ago?" Qu Feiyan took off the hat on his head, revealing his beautiful hair.
Li Chengzhen and Master Crazy came to the vicinity of Ling'an Temple. They had already bribed a monk inside. The monk didn't know what they were going to do. He was just responsible for opening the door for them. The small door of the temple opened and they filed in. Finally
Li Chengzong, a master of Xixia Yipintang who entered, killed the monk who opened the door with a sword.
The monk's blood started tonight's killing night.
They walked quickly towards the residence of Xixia Emperor Li Zunxu, trying to break in at lightning speed, otherwise if time was delayed, Li Zunxu might escape from this place.
The chanting of monks rang out in the night. Tomorrow was the beginning of the blessing ceremony. For this reason, Xixia Emperor Li Zunxu was not ridiculous and was preparing to take an early rest. Just when he was about to fall asleep, noisy footsteps came from outside.
There were sounds, then shouts and sounds of killing.
Someone is assassinating!
He quickly stood up and pulled out the sword hanging on the wall. He couldn't remember how many years he had not used a sword. Five years ago, he led his troops into the palace of Zhongxing Mansion and forced his cousin Li An'an to write down
With the edict to abdicate, he became the new emperor of Xixia, and he never used the sword again from then on.
Li Zunxu stared nervously at the door. The sound of killing was getting closer and closer, and his hands began to tremble. This made him realize that he was no longer the high-spirited general five years ago, but had become a timid Emperor of Xixia.
The door of the Zen room opened, and a blind woman broke in. Then a young face came in. Li Zunxu saw the shadow of his cousin Li An'an from this face. He knew who this person was, so his hand healed.
Trembling.
"Uncle, do you remember my nephew?" Li Chengzhen said gloomily.
"You can't kill me, I am..."
Before Li Zunxu could finish speaking, Mei Chaofeng's hand had already inserted into the Xixia Emperor's heart, and the Nine-Yin White Bone Claw directly penetrated Li Zunxu's chest. The Xixia Emperor died. What bothered Mei Chaofeng the most was this.
It is not clean and tidy at all for people to chirp before they die. It is better to kill them directly and the whole world will be pure.
Li Chengzhen was a little depressed. He had originally prepared a long speech to denounce Li Zunxu to express his excitement about his successful revenge. But now that there was no audience, he had to keep his words in his stomach. He had just seen this blind man.
The power of women is that they are real butchers who kill without blinking an eye.
Those hands cannot be called human hands, but hard and fine iron, which can compete with the swords of the Forbidden Army. No wonder His Royal Highness the King of Jin dared to come to Xixia for adventure with only this blind woman. This is a true
He was a peerless master. With this master by his side, he could not go anywhere in the world. Li Chengzhen was envious of this.
