Everyone responded in unison. The six surnames mentioned by Fang Shao were the six powerful military generals in Qi State.
Except for some miscellaneous generals, captains, and captains who were in the military camp, all the generals who were in Shengjing City were targeted by them.
In addition, officials from the Ministry of War and Household Affairs of the State of Qi are also their targets. They must paralyze the military and financial affairs of the Qi State's court tonight.
Late at night came as promised, there were no stars tonight, it seemed that God was also helping Qian Guo.
There is no curfew in Shengjing City, and the watchman strikes the gong to announce the time.
Seeing the watchman walking by, a middle-aged man smiled and walked towards the residence of Tobe Zuoshiro, bypassing the front door and looking at the tall courtyard wall.
This fourth-grade martial artist jumped up and jumped into the courtyard wall.
Then he walked all the way to the main house, and then broke in!
The left servant of Tobe, who was working on his concubine's belly, was startled and immediately looked toward the door, "Who is it?"
"Master Qian, you deserve to die."
The man grinned and drew out a soft sword, and a bright sword energy shot through the air, directly cutting the bloated Lord Qian in half.
Blood sprayed all over the beautiful concubine, and she was frightened.
Then there was another sword light, and the concubine was on her way.
After doing all this, the middle-aged man put away his soft sword and repeated his old tricks and jumped out of the wall.
This is a group of ghosts in the dark. They find their target and then wield the butcher knife.
At this moment, it seems like people are killing people everywhere in the inner city of Shengjing!
Finally, a warrior who was guarding the courtyard discovered the assassin, and he roared in horror, making the entire residence of the Minister of War abuzz with excitement.
Then the mansion of the Minister of War burst into flames!
Like a chain reaction, officials' mansions were set on fire one after another, causing countless people to panic.
"what's the situation
!”
Prime Minister Zhou Yue heard the noise and immediately stood up.
A deep voice sounded, "Sir, assassins have appeared in the imperial capital, and many official residences have been set on fire!"
"What! Assassin?"
Zhou Yue was shocked and said, "Go and check!"
The voice outside the door said dullly, "No, this group of assassins is huge in number. If we leave, I'm afraid they will come to assassinate you, sir. A'er has already gone to investigate first."
After hearing this, Zhou Yue quickly calmed down. He once sent ten fourth-grade men to assassinate Zhao Kang. Naturally, he was not a simple role as the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty.
He had recruited some martial arts masters to protect him secretly early on. Basically, except for the palace, wherever Zhou Yue went, these masters would follow him.
Thinking about this, Zhou Yue quickly took out his official seal waistband and opened the door, "Ask Ah Si to go to the palace with the seal in hand to inform Her Royal Highness the Princess! Send the imperial army to arrest these assassins!"
"clear."
How can Zhou Yue sleep when unexpected events happen?
Soon Liu Yanran in the palace also got the news. After being shocked, she immediately ordered the imperial army to be sent out to encircle and suppress the assassins.
The Pearl Princess's hands couldn't help but tremble. How could an assassin suddenly appear and specifically assassinate court officials?
Could it be!
Just thinking about Liu Yanran's pretty face turned pale.
Will not!
Definitely not!
…
A massacre feast began, and fires broke out all over the imperial capital, and the light of the fire turned the night into red.
The entire Shengjing City was in complete chaos.
Song Qingyan, who was also woken up, opened the window and looked at the red night in the distance. She suddenly felt uneasy and felt as if something big was about to happen.
The Forbidden Army was sent out to surround and suppress Chen Jianghe and others. The turmoil lasted for who knows how long.
Outside the imperial capital.
Fang Shao suppressed the surging energy and blood in his body. He had previously exchanged palms with a master from the Qi State. The opponent was a top master from the lower level of the third rank, and he almost died.
Seeing that the agreed time had arrived, Fang Shao opened his eyes and looked at the more than 100 people who had escaped, "Everyone evacuate."
At this time, Chen Jianghe and Nangong Long came out and said, "Master Fang, please take the people to evacuate first."
Fang Shao frowned, "You two?"
Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "The Imperial Master has another task for us, and we will have to lurk in the imperial capital next."
Only then did Fang Shao understand, "Then you all should be careful. There are masters in the palace of Qi State, no less than the two of you."
"Don't worry, sir."
…
The sky is getting brighter.
Many people felt incredible when looking at the burned-to-black official residences in the distance.
The streets were covered with bloodstains, and the Imperial Guards guards shuttled through the streets, causing people to panic.
What exactly happened last night?
In the palace, Liu Yanran, Prince Liu Jianyuan, Zhou Yue and several officials, who had not slept all night, were listening to the report from the commander of the imperial army.
"At this moment last night, officials of our dynasty were assassinated. An Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, died, and Sun Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, died. In addition, none of the officials of the fourth rank and above of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs were spared and died tragically at home."
"Former general Li Zhenjiang, rear general Zhang Yuanping, chariot and cavalry captain Wang Chuan, southern expedition general Ma Sanshan, blocking cavalry general Liu Sheng, Zhenbei general Zhao Kailong, Forbidden Army garrison captain Han Pingguan, Imperial City Army partial general Yan Ziyun and other eight generals were assassinated.
!”
"In addition, there are Taixue University and Hanlin Academy..."
"Last night, a total of sixty-three people in our court, both civil and military, died at the hands of assassins!"
The commander of the imperial army's voice was trembling as he spoke, and he cautiously raised his head to take a look at everyone's reaction.
They found Princess Mingzhu, the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Zhou Yue and the surviving officials all looking pale.
"Check! Can you find out who did it?" Liu Jianyuan asked with difficulty.
The commander of the Forbidden Army hurriedly said, "Our army has apprehended nearly two hundred murderers. These people are all martial arts warriors, and among them there are even top masters of the fourth and third grades!"
"Jingguo! Someone from Jingguo must have done it!" An official yelled angrily!
"They are taking revenge! These damn bastards!"
The commander of the Forbidden Army looked at Zhou Yue carefully at this time: "Master Yun is right, it must be someone from Jingguo who did it."
Zhou Yue frowned, "Have you found out their origins?"
The commander of the imperial army swallowed, "Some people and officials' families recognized that the assassins killed by our army were all shop assistants on Zhuque Street."
"What's the name of the owner of the shop? Ba Ba. He previously claimed to be a businessman from Jingguo. He is worthy of being your youngest son and brother, Mr. Zhou."
With a bang, it felt like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Zhou Yue suddenly turned pale.
The commander of the Forbidden Army added, "And Master Zhou, your wife also has a close relationship with these shops and has frequent contacts in the past."
…
Zhou Mansion
The woman put her bare feet on the ground, took out the cheap product from the bottom of the dressing table, and gently inserted it into the headdress.
He took out the lipstick and put it on his lips, which was bright and moving.
After taking off some perfume and rubbing it gently, she changed into dark red silk.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile, thinking back to the news conveyed by the person who had previously inquired about the news.
A teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye.
Song Qingyan closed her eyes and murmured, "It turns out it was just a plot."
