This sudden change was something no one expected, including Nie Zhen. He looked at the middle-aged man behind Yu Zuo in disbelief and couldn't recover for a long time.
Pounce! The middle-aged man pulled out his sword from Yu Zuo's body and kicked him on the lower back. Then he and the other middle-aged man didn't stop for a moment, turned around and left quickly.
"There's a murder, there's a murder here -" the people passing by nearby saw it clearly and kept shouting. After a short time, more than a dozen people came over one after another.
Nie Zhen finally came to his senses. He subconsciously put his sword behind his back and shouted sternly at the people who gathered around him: "What are you all doing here? Go and capture those two assassins!"
Some people saw the direction in which the two middle-aged men were leaving, pointed to the alley aside, and shouted: "That's where the assassins are running!"
The common people were stunned for a moment, and then many people drew their swords and ran towards the alley where the two middle-aged men disappeared.
Nie Zhen did not chase after him. He quickly came to Yu Zuo, squatted down, and while checking his injuries, he pretended to be concerned and asked: "Elder Yu, you...how are you injured?"
The middle-aged man's sword was a fatal one that pierced his heart. Yu Zuo fell to the ground, his body twitching constantly, his mouth opening and closing as if he wanted to speak, but all he spit out was blood.
Nie Zhen was rich in experience. He could tell just by looking at Yu Zuo's injuries that this person was hopeless. Even if the gods descended to earth now, they could not save Yu Zuo.
His heart finally dropped as he raised his throat, but he was also secretly wondering why those two middle-aged men wanted to kill Yu Zuo? He didn't know them, and they had no reason to help him. !
Yu Zuo did not hold on for long. His violently shaking body gradually became motionless, his eyes were wide open, and he was breathless. Under his body, the blood flowing out dyed the ground red in a large pool.
Who would have thought that the dignified elder Shenchi would end up dying in an unknown manner, with no way to even verify who the murderer was.
Yu Zuo's death is not a small matter, it also caused an uproar in Shenchi City.
The next day, in the Elder's Courtyard, the elders of Shenchi gathered together, and the focus of discussion was also the assassination of Yu Zuo.
Gao Ge came very late. He didn't go home at all last night, but stayed in his house all night.
After he entered the meeting hall, he did not return to his seat. Instead, he walked directly to Nie Zhen and stood beside him, staring at him coldly and deeply.
At this time, everyone in the hall felt something was wrong, and gradually stopped talking, all their eyes fell on Gao Ge.
Of course, Nie Zhen also felt Gao Ge's aggressive gaze. He raised his head and looked at Gao Ge who was standing next to him. He smiled calmly, cupped his hands and said, "Elder Gao."
"Did you kill Elder Yu?" Gao Ge asked directly without any unnecessary nonsense. Hearing his words, the elders present took a breath in unison and shifted their gazes to Nie Zhen.
Nie Zhen's heart trembled, but the expression on his face remained calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Elder Gao, please don't spit on others. How could Elder Yu be killed by me?"
"Hmph!" Gao Ge sneered and said, "Then how do you explain why Elder Yu died outside your house?"
Nie Zhen said sternly: "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy in Shenchi, we need to unite as one, and I have a long-standing dispute with Elder Yu, so I held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Elder Yu. I hope that the two of us can reconcile.
The old suspicion turned into friendship, but Elder Yu was killed by an assassin as soon as he left my house. How can Elder Gao say that I killed Elder Yu?"
If Yu Zuo hadn't looked for him beforehand, he wouldn't have believed that Nie Zhen had killed Yu Zuo. He didn't believe that Nie Zhen could have such courage, but the facts were before his eyes, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
Gao Ge narrowed his eyes and said faintly: "You were killed by an assassin just after you left your house. Elder Nie, do you think such a coincidence can happen in the world? Furthermore, with Elder Yu's martial arts, only two assassins
How is it possible to kill him?"
"After all, Elder Gao still doesn't trust me." Nie Zhen was also feeling aggrieved now. It was indeed not him who killed Yu Zuo, and he didn't know who the two people who killed Yu Zuo were.
He said seriously: "If I really wanted to harm the elder, how could I invite him to my home, and how could I let him die at the door of my own house? At that time, many people nearby saw the two people who killed the elder.
Assassin, Elder Gao, please don’t mess around anymore and wrongly accuse good people!”
"Haha——" Gao Ge looked up and laughed out of anger. While he was laughing, his spiritual pressure suddenly emitted. At that moment, it was like a hurricane blowing in the meeting hall, blowing away the excitement of everyone present.
The clothes were shaking and crackling.
Under Gao Ge's spiritual pressure, Nie Zhen was the first to bear the brunt, and his body sitting on the mat tilted to the side involuntarily.
"You are such an eloquent and eloquent Elder Nie. You have managed to clear up the matter, but you can deceive others, but you cannot deceive me. Today, I will give you justice to Elder Nie!"
As he spoke, the spiritual pressure he radiated became stronger, and he raised his hand to hold the sword under his ribs.
"Gao Ge, don't bully others too much. Do you really think that I am afraid of you?" As he spoke, Nie Zhen also stood up, also emitted spiritual pressure, held the hilt of the sword, and faced Gao Ge tit for tat.
Both of them are the great elders of Shenchi, and they are both the top level spiritual martial arts masters of Shenchi. If they really start a fight, who knows what kind of fight will be like. The meeting hall and even the entire elders' house may be destroyed by them.
destroyed.
Seeing this, the surrounding elders hurriedly stepped forward, waving their hands and saying: "Elder Gao, Elder Nie, you two need to calm down first, don't be impulsive!"
Everyone's persuasion was of no use. The spiritual pressure emitted by Gao Ge and Nie Zhen was getting stronger and stronger. The air between the two of them could already be clearly distorted. Even the marbles under their feet were crackling.
cracking sound.
Just when the fierce battle between the two of them was about to break out, Guang Han walked in from outside.
He first looked at Gao Ge and Nie Zhen who were standing among the elders, and then shouted in a deep voice: "What's going on? Elder Yu was just assassinated, what are you going to do here?!"
Hearing Guang Han's shouts and questions, everyone was shocked. Then, they all bowed their hands and saluted, saying: "See the Holy King!"
When Gao Ge and Nie Zhen saw that Guang Han had heard this, they could only withdraw their spiritual pressure, and dropped their hands on their swords. Like other elders, they bowed and saluted.
Guang Han listened and glanced at everyone's faces one by one, asking: "Who can tell me what is going on here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Zhen couldn't wait and said as if he had been wronged: "Holy King, Elder Gao accused Wei Chen for no reason, saying that Wei Chen killed Elder Yu. Wei Chen is really unjust!"
Guang Han raised his eyebrows, looked at Gao Ge, and asked, "Elder Gao, is this possible?"
"That's right!" Gao Ge looked directly at Guang Han and said in a strong voice. No matter how courageous Nie Zhen was, he would not dare to kill the elder if no one supported him. The only person who could support Nie Zhen, the great elder, was the Holy King.
, it can only be the Holy King.
Gao Ge couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Yu Zuo just doubted the identity of the Holy King, which made the Holy King so afraid that he even harmed him secretly. What was the Holy King afraid of? Could it be that, as the emperor's edict said, he was really Guang Guang
Isn’t Xuan Ling successful?
Guang Han listened and said seriously: "Elder Gao, many people present have proven that there was indeed an assassin who attacked Elder Yu. Elder Yu's unfortunate death has nothing to do with Elder Nie. If I am right in my judgment, the assassin must be Feng Chuan.
The purpose of the tactics sent by the two countries to infiltrate our Divine Pond is to harm the talents who are the pillars of our Divine Pond, and also to use the opportunity to sow discord. Elder Gao must not fall into the enemy's trick. Elders must be more careful from now on.
Don't let assassins take advantage of you again."
His words were reasonable and persuasive. All the elders nodded and responded in unison: "Yes! I will obey the teachings of the Holy King!"
Gao Ge looked at the respectful attitude of everyone towards Guang Han and felt it was funny and sad at the same time. He felt sad for them and for Yu Zuo and himself. The Holy King whom the elders were loyal to turned out to be a villain who did one thing on the surface and another on the other.
!
Guang Han didn't know what Gao Ge was thinking. Seeing him standing there with an uncertain expression, he smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Elder Gao doesn't have to worry about this matter. I don't think Elder Nie will blame you either."
." After a pause, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, how is Elder Gao preparing for the assassination?"
Gao Ge lowered his head and said, "My lord... we still need time."
"However, our Shenchi does not have so much time to waste. If we wait until the Fengchuan coalition forces are ready and attack in a large scale, it will be too late for Elder Gao to assassinate." Guang Han heard Youyou say.
"Yes! I know it. I will take action within three days." Gao Ge said still hanging his head.
Guang Han nodded with satisfaction and said, "With Elder Gao's words, I feel relieved. Oh, how many manpower does Elder Gao need?"
Gao Ge said: "There is no need for help from others, I am enough for you."
Hearing this, everyone present frowned. Gao Ge wanted to assassinate King Feng and King Sichuan alone. How could he do it?
Guang Han was stunned for a moment and laughed, then shook his head and said: "Elder Gao, don't underestimate the Wind King and Sichuan King. Even if I go there in person, it will not be easy to kill them!"
Gao Ge said seriously: "Thank you, Holy King, for reminding me, I... am sure of myself!"
"Oh?" Guang Han heard the laughter and asked, "I wonder if Elder Gao has any good ideas?"
Gao Ge said: "When the matter is completed, I will explain it in detail to the Holy King."
Guang Han listened and did not ask any further questions. He nodded cheerfully and said, "Okay, I will wait for the good news from Elder Gao within three days." At the end of the sentence, he had no hope of reminding Gao Ge of the three days he said.
the term.
