It turned out to be poison. Jiaxi closed the brocade box and put it in her arms without saying anything else.
When he arrived, Tang Yin had already told him that this assassination operation would lead to a narrow escape. Jiaxi was also mentally prepared and had no intention of returning to Feng Country alive. Shao Fang had prepared poison to save himself or his brothers from suffering after being captured.
"If you have no other instructions, Master, I will take my leave first." Jiaxi said with cupped hands.
"Yes!" Shao Fang nodded and reminded again uneasily: "Be careful and don't expose your identity. Also, don't come to my place casually unless you have something important to do."
"I understand."
Jiaxi put the map away, then followed Yuan Yin and exited the secret room.
Shao Ting's hunting location is located in the southern suburbs of Zhenjiang, which is a vast mountain forest.
The map Shao Fang gave Jiaxi was very detailed. He clearly marked all the peaks and mountain roads in the mountains and forests. He even drew several creeks and puddles.
Take this map and walk through the mountains and forests, and you will be familiar with the road even if it is your first time.
Since this is one of the places where the royal family hunts, it is strictly forbidden to enter. There are sergeants from the Mo Kingdom guarding the forest. However, this cannot stop the dark spiritual cultivators like Jiaxi from sneaking past the guard posts and attacking them without anyone noticing.
It's easy to say.
After entering the mountain forest, Jiaxi and others found the main mountain road into the mountain according to the map, which was also the only way Shaoting went when hunting.
The mountain road is rugged and uneven, and there are dense forests on both sides, making it easy to set up an ambush.
After spending a whole day, they carefully observed the mountain road and finally confirmed that the ambush was located here.
In the middle section of the mountain road, the woods on both sides are the most lush, and there are also wild grasses as high as half a man. Let alone the twenty or so people who are ambushing them, even if they ambush hundreds or thousands of people, it will be difficult to detect them.
Looking up, the trees on the roadside are lush and leafy, and many branches have extended to the top of the mountain road, forming a natural barrier that blocks the light and makes the mountain road very dark.
This is the best place to ambush. Jiaxi quickly decided on the place where the assassination would be carried out, and then gathered twenty undercover personnel and began to make detailed arrangements and division of labor. After everything was handled properly, he took the undercover personnel with him
Exit the mountain forest along the original path.
The sun and the moon shuttle, time flies, and more than ten days pass in the blink of an eye.
This day finally arrived when King Mo Shao Ting went out to hunt in the city.
Shao Ting is not a bold person, but he is very enthusiastic about hunting. He takes time out to hunt once or twice in the countryside almost every month. He also likes the feeling of commanding thousands of troops. Of course,
He regarded the hunting ground as a battlefield and the prey as the enemy's army. If he were asked to go to a real battlefield, he would not have the courage.
Since Shao Ting became the monarch of Mo State, Mo State has never launched a national war against other countries.
When the monarch goes out hunting, the scene is grand and grand.
Shao Ting was sitting in the carriage, surrounded by all the palace guards. These Mo soldiers were tall and majestic, and they were all elite. Looking outward, there was the most fierce first regiment of the Mo country. They were not only well-equipped, but also brave and good at fighting.
Whether they are ordinary soldiers or senior officers, they are all strictly selected from the Mo army.
Accompanying Shao Ting were Shao Fang, Shao Bo and other princes, as well as civil and military ministers from the court.
Among them, the most eye-catching ones are the two generals, one gold and one silver.
The general walking on the left side of Shaoting's chariot was wearing silver armor, a silver helmet on his head, and a white cloak on his back. He stepped off a snow-white horse and looked up. He and his horse were all dressed in white. He looked heroic and high-spirited, looking towards his face.
From the looks of it, he looks like he is in his forties, with a fair complexion and black beard, handsome features, and a dignified appearance.
This is Lian Ge, who is known as the victorious general in Mo country.
The general walking on the right side of the car is also in his early forties. He is dressed in golden armor and rides on a maroon horse. He is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a round waist, rough features and a ferocious appearance. This is the famous general of Mo State who is as famous as Lian Ge.
Go back.
These two people can be said to be the symbol of Mo Country's military force, and they are also recognized as the two strongest masters in Mo Country.
With so many guards protecting him, and Lian Ge and Xiang Hui by his side, Shao Ting could sit back and relax every time he went hunting. He never thought that anyone would dare to assassinate him. But what he didn't expect was that this time the hunting would actually happen.
It will be the last time in his life.
Behind Shao Ting's chariot were the carriages of Shao Fang, Shao Bo and other princes, and behind them were the civil and military ministers on horseback.
A large number of Mo troops cleared the way, and the team marched out of Zhenjiang City in a mighty manner and headed straight for the hunting grounds in the southern suburbs.
Shao Fang sat in the carriage, his heart gradually rising to his throat. In order to avoid being noticed, he and Jiaxi only met twice in total. The first time was when Jiaxi first arrived in Zhenjiang, and the second time was yesterday.
In the evening, Jiaxi told him the specific location of the assassination.
With only twenty people, Shao Fang was not sure whether he could succeed in assassinating his heavily protected father. Once he failed, once Jiaxi and others were captured, and they confessed themselves, the consequences would be disastrous. At this time, Shao Fang's nerves
It was already tense to the extreme, but he had no way out and could only continue according to the plan.
Soon, the team arrived in the forest.
Since the mountain roads in the forest were narrow and rugged, not suitable for carriages, Shao Ting and his princes got off their carriages and rode into the mountains.
Now Shao Ting is wearing a rare suit of armor, riding a tall horse, carrying a sword at his waist, and holding a long bow. It looks like that.
He was in high spirits and urged everyone around him, saying: "Go into the mountain, go into the mountain, today I will show off my skills."
Lian Ge and Xiang Hui did not dare to leave him. Seeing that the old king urged his horses to gallop forward from time to time, they followed closely and repeatedly reminded: "The mountain road is difficult to walk, so please slow down!"
"Haha——" Shao Ting looked up at the king and said: "I have been hunting here for decades. When did you two have any accidents when you saw me?"
"Yes!" Lian Ge and Xiang Hui were not good at flattering people. After hearing what Shao Ting said, they just agreed helplessly.
At this time, Shao Fang, Shao Bo and other princes had already urged their horses to catch up, and they all laughed and said: "My father is good at riding and shooting, even my sons feel inferior!"
After hearing this, Shao Ting felt even better. He waved the long bow in his hand and said with a smile: "It is late winter now, and there are many deer in the mountains. You all show your true skills and see who can harvest the most prey. Father,
There will definitely be a big reward!”
All the princes became energetic and responded one after another.
The group of people urged the horses and headed deep into the mountains.
Shao Fang was nervous in his heart, but on the surface he seemed to be fine. He was chatting with the brothers beside him as he walked. While talking, his eyes were not idle, and he kept looking around.
After walking for a while, the mountain forest became denser and denser, and the light became darker and darker. At this time, a rock on the roadside attracted Shao Fang's attention. He thought that this must be the right place.
He calmly said to Shao Bo: "Third brother, two days ago I found a group of dancers for my brother. They are not only young and beautiful, beautiful as flowers, but also good at singing and dancing. When will you be free to come to my house to dance?"
Sit down?"
Shao Bo knew that his second brother was the most womanizing. He was not interested, but he couldn't refuse, so he responded: "Okay! If I have time, I will definitely go to Brother Wang's house."
"Okay, okay, it's a deal. Maybe it's been a while since you and I have calmed down and sat down together to have a good chat."
What's there to talk about? Shao Bo muttered in his heart. For the sake of the prince, he and Shao Fang had already begun to fight openly and secretly, but on the surface they had to show brotherly affection and closeness.
"Yes! Brother Wang is getting busier and busier. As a younger brother, I am too embarrassed to bother him."
"Hey? What did the third brother say? We are brothers..."
Snapped!
Before he could finish his words, the stirrup under his right leg suddenly broke. Shao Fang lost his balance, screamed instinctively, and rolled sideways off the horse.
"Ah! Brother Wang..."
While they were chatting happily, Shao Fang suddenly fell off his horse. Shao Bo was also startled. He hurriedly reined in the reins, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward quickly. When he lowered his head and looked down, he almost laughed out loud. He saw Shao Fang.
He was lying on his back, his face was red, his facial features were almost twisted into a ball, and he was groaning as he lay there.
"Brother Wang, where are you injured?"
No matter how happy he was in his heart, he still had to show concern on the surface. As he spoke, he knelt down to help Shao Fang, who said feebly: "I seem to have been hurt by a stone on the ground.
…”
Shao Ting, who was walking in front, also heard a strange sound behind him. He turned around and saw his favorite second son, Shao Fang, lying on the ground for some unknown reason. He took a sudden breath of cold air, hurriedly turned his horse's head, and quickly retreated.
, asked: "Fang'er, what's wrong?"
"Father, I am fine. The stirrup broke just now and I accidentally fell down."
"Oh!" Shao Ting breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Is it hurt?"
With Shao Bo's help, Shao Fang sat up with difficulty. He shook his head and said, "I just got hit by a stone on the ground. I just need to sit here and rest for a while."
"Don't force it. If you feel uncomfortable, go back to the city first..."
"No, my father is rarely interested in going out to the city to hunt today. How can I spoil my father's interest?"
Shao Ting secretly nodded and said to himself that it was good. His second son was becoming more and more sensible. It would not be wrong to make him the prince and pass the throne to Shao Fang. He said with a smile: "Bo'er, you stay and take good care of him."
Second brother."
"Yes! Father!"
When he heard that Shao Bo wanted to stay and take care of him, Shao Fang couldn't agree. He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, third brother, please go with your father and help your brother come back first."
Shao Bo was not willing to stay and take care of Shao Fang, but he did not dare to disobey his father. He said: "It doesn't matter if you don't get the first place. I can't worry about leaving Brother Wang here alone!"
Humph! That’s weird! You don’t expect me to die early! Shao Fang sneered in his heart. Seeing Shao Bo’s insistence, he couldn’t force himself and said with a smile: “That’s really wronging Brother Bo.”
"What did Brother Wang say? You and I are brothers!"
Seeing the "deep brotherhood" between Shao Fang and Shao Bo, Shao Ting was naturally very happy, laughed twice, and then turned his horse to continue moving forward.
Shao Ting left first, but he didn't go far when suddenly, he heard a scream with a changed tone coming from behind...
