The other assassins had already left, leaving only the woman in white sitting next to Yuan Fang. He turned around and said, "Xiaoyu, you should leave quickly too!"
"I want to stay with you!" the woman in white said quietly.
Yuan Fang shook his head and said seriously: "You have to go." He knew very well what the consequences would be if he stayed. He didn't care about his own life or death, but he couldn't just watch her die in vain.
The woman in white took a deep breath and said, "I have always obeyed your arrangements, but this time, I must stay with you."
Yuan Fang was silent. From the eyes of the woman in white, he saw her unshakable determination.
"Haha, okay, one more person is better than one less person!" Jiaxi said with a sneer.
At this time, Cheng Jin stood up and said to Yuan Fang: "Mr. Yuan Fang, it's time for us to leave."
Yuan Fang stood up slowly and asked, "Where are we going?"
Cheng Jin said: "North of the city, the altar!"
Yuan Fang also had this intention, so he nodded and said, "Okay." Before Yuan Fang could follow Cheng Jin out, Jiaxi quickly stepped forward, spread his palms, and stretched them out in front of Yuan Fang. Before he could follow Cheng Jin,
In the palm of his hand was a Sanling Dan. He said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan Fang, you'd better take this first!"
Cheng Jin waved his hand and said: "No need, I believe that Mr. Yuan Fang will not run away." He couldn't run away even if he wanted to, Cheng Jin added silently in his heart. With so many elite assassins present, Yuan Fang
He and the woman in white would not be able to escape even if they had extraordinary abilities. Cheng Jin still had some confidence in this.
Hearing what he said, Jiaxi didn't force it, shrugged, and took back the Spirit-Spreading Pill, but he had already walked to Yuan Fang's side and stood still.
In this operation, almost all the hidden personnel came out. There were more than a hundred people on the surface, and there were even more people hiding in the dark. Under the escort of so many dark spiritual cultivators, Yuan Fang and the woman in white really had no chance.
Possibility of escape.
When the hidden arrow personnel headed by Cheng Jin left the north city and came to the altar, the holy ceremony had already begun. The person who presided over the ceremony was Zhang Xun, the eldest uncle who came from Yancheng. The eldest uncle is the highest official position of the priest in the country.
He is a subordinate of the first rank. He does not participate in government affairs during normal times, and it is difficult to see his face. He only comes out during big sacrifices such as the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony.
At this time, the surroundings of the altar were filled with Fengjun and a huge crowd of people. Fengjun was inside and the people were outside. Looking around, the darkness was boundless, and there were hundreds of thousands of people at least.
Before Cheng Jin and others got close, they saw a large group of wind troops coming from the front. The leader was none other than Du Qing, the captain of Hedong County. Seeing Cheng Jin from a distance, Du Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly
He turned over and dismounted, rushed to Cheng Jin, stepped in and saluted respectfully, and said: "I will see you, General Cheng!"
Cheng Jin smiled, returned the salute, and said: "General Du, you are too polite. You and I are of equal rank, how can we call ourselves the lowest general?!"
Although the county lieutenant is a local official, his official rank is not low. He is on the same level as the county chief and is equivalent to the deputy commander of the army. But in front of Cheng Jin, Du Qing did not dare to put on any airs and was cautious, fearing the slightest slight. He nodded repeatedly.
Yes, then he asked: "I just received a military card from General Cheng, saying that there are assassins in the city. I was about to send someone to rush over. Why did General Cheng leave the city?"
Cheng Jin said: "I have captured the assassin, and I am about to take the assassin to see the king!"
"Ah?" Du Qing was shocked and was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked behind Cheng Jin. Sure enough, there were two people dressed as ordinary people, a man and a woman, standing in the crowd of hidden arrows. He said hurriedly: "Okay, okay,
OK! I will ask someone to clear the way for General Cheng."
"Yes! We have General Laudu here, but don't be too showy."
"Yes! Got it!"
Under Du Qing's order, the county army took the lead in rushing into the crowd and forced a passage through the crowd to allow the hidden arrow personnel to enter. With the county army clearing the way, Cheng Jin and others were saved a lot of trouble.
After passing the long corridor, passing through the blockade of the wind army, we finally reached the altar.
Since the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony was being held, Cheng Jin did not dare to disturb him. He left most of his men under the altar and only took Jiaxi, Ao Qing, Jiang Qianqian and other core members to escort Yuan Fang and the woman in white up the steps.
, go to the top of the altar to meet Tang Yin.
At this time, Tang Yin was sitting on the right side of the platform at the top of the altar, watching with interest the eldest uncle, Zhang Xun, dancing in the center of the platform, like a dancing god. Behind him were Qiu Zhen, Wuying, Shangguan brothers and others.
When Cheng Jin came up, Tang Yin didn't notice it, but the Shangguan brothers saw it. They immediately came forward and whispered: "General Cheng, the eldest uncle is holding a holy ceremony. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it later!"
Looking up at the center of the platform, Cheng Jin whispered: "It's an urgent matter. Your Majesty expected it to be true. Yuan Fang really had ulterior motives and sneaked into Qingyuan with the intention of assassinating your Majesty. Now that I have captured him, I must see your Majesty immediately."
"
"Ah, that's it..." Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao looked at each other and said in unison: "Wait a moment, I will report to the king right now."
"good."
The Shangguan brothers walked quickly back behind Tang Yin. Yuanwu bent down, close to Tang Yin's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty, General Cheng Jin has arrived. At the same time, he captured Yuan Fang in Qingyuan City and took him away.
coming."
"Yes!" Tang Yin's eyes were still on Zhang Xun, and he just responded lightly, as if he had expected everything that happened. Qiu Zhen lowered his head to look at Tang Yin, and said to Brother Shangguan: "Let Cheng
Jin, please bring Yuan Fang over!"
"Yes! Prime Minister Qiu!" Shangguan Yuanwu responded, then straightened his body and waved to Cheng Jin and others.
Seeing this, Cheng Jin shook his head to Jiaxi, Ao Qing, Jiang Qianqian and others behind him, and quickly walked towards Tang Yin with Yuan Fang and the woman in white. When Tang Yin approached, Cheng Jin and others bowed and saluted, saying
: "Your Majesty."
Only then did Tang Yin look away, turned to Cheng Jin and others, smiled, and said, "You can't usually tell, but this old man Zhang Xun is quite flexible."
Phew! Cheng Jin and others were silent, only Ao Qing couldn't help but chuckle. Tang Yin turned his eyes and looked at Yuan Fang and the woman in white. He frowned slightly and asked: "Who is my Mr. Yuan Fang?"
Are you there?" Now that Yuan Fang had transformed into a black-faced young man and was wearing ordinary people's clothes, Tang Yin could no longer recognize him.
Before Cheng Jin and others could speak, Yuan Fang took a step forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "The humble minister Yuan Fang is here to see your Majesty!"
Tang Yin blinked and looked at him in surprise. After a while, he shook his head and sighed: "The random changes are really powerful, ever-changing, and the gods and ghosts are the last to test." After that, he asked again: "Who is this lady?
…”
"He is Wei Chen's confidant."
"Oh!" Tang Yin asked with a smile: "What? Just the two of you want to assassinate this king?"
Hearing this, Jiaxi and Ao Qing both looked at Cheng Jin worriedly. The latter took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "There are more than forty assassins."
Tang Yin said: "Where is he?"
"Has been released by subordinates."
"Let go?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Jin in disbelief, wondering if his ears had heard it wrong.
Cheng Jin explained: "Those people are all insignificant accomplices, and today is the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony. There are too many people in the city. Once they take action, I don't know how many innocent people will be affected, and it will also lose the face of the king and the Feng Kingdom, so
The subordinates made their own decision and let them all go."
Tang Yin looked at Cheng Jin, raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, and said quietly: "I think you are not only making your own decisions, but you are also smart!"
Cheng Jin's face turned red, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said: "This is my subordinate's mistake, please punish me!"
Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Get up, I have told you many times, don't kneel here and there." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the woman in white again, and asked: "Last time, we stabbed outside the tavern.
You are my person, right?"
The woman in white smiled coldly and said, "Your Majesty has a very good memory."
Hearing the contempt in her words, the faces of everyone around her changed. Jiaxi said in a deep voice: "Bold!"
Tang Yin waved his hands without caring, and said calmly: "Miss's spiritual martial arts is very good." After saying that, his eyes fell back on Yuan Fang, patted the empty chair next to him, and said: "Mr. Yuan Fang
Please come and sit down! Oh... By the way, I shouldn't call you Yuan Fang anymore. I wonder if you can tell me your real name?"
"Yuan Ziyi." Yuan Fang was not restrained at all and sat down next to Tang Yin generously.
Tang Yin smiled. From the bottom of his heart, he had to admire Yuan Ziyi's magnanimity and courage. Even though he knew that he had a narrow escape, he could still show such calmness, which was far beyond compare. He smiled
Said: "It seems that I shouldn't call you Mr. Ziyi, but I should call you Miss Ziyi, or Miss Linglong!"
Yuan Ziyi's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he asked: "When did your Majesty find out?"
Tang Yin said quietly: "Let me ask you a question first. Why did you help me when you assassinated me in the tavern last time?" This question was also what Cheng Jin and others were extremely curious about.
Yuan Ziyi shrugged and said calmly: "If you miss a hit, you have lost your chance. You should have retreated. The reason why you took the risk and pursued me is to create conditions for me to sneak into the king's side. Given the situation at that time,
I say, if the king abandons Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao and flees for his own life, we cannot stop him."
Tang Yin nodded, yes, although there were many assassins at that time, if he used Shadow Drift to escape, no one could catch up with him. He said quietly: "But you are wrong, I will not do it no matter what the circumstances."
If you abandon your brothers and run away alone, even if you are defeated at that time, I will fight to the death with you."
"Yes! This was our mistake, and it was also because we didn't know the king well enough at that time." Yuan Ziyi sighed softly.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said leisurely: "It's too late to regret now."
