There's something wrong with this assassin

Chapter 185 Beyond Los Angeles ([-]rd update)

The palace door opened inward, and the eunuch in purple bowed and walked into the palace with small steps.

The door of the palace closed again behind him.

The whole hall is more stuffy than the outside, because the inside is full of strong incense, and a lot of spices are burned in the hall, making the whole palace like a furnace.

The palace is full of hanging curtains, which separate the space in the palace, and the floor is made of gold bricks that can almost illuminate people's shadows—this is not real gold bricks, but a palace specially fired for the royal family Bricks are used, each two feet square, smooth and dense, known to be knocked silently, broken without holes, the production process of each gold brick often takes more than one year, and its price is also very precious.

Because even in the entire Forbidden City, not all places are paved with such precious gold bricks. Only the places where the emperor lives and walks can have such luxurious paving.

The golden bricks under his feet reflected the figure of the eunuch in purple. He bowed and walked on the golden bricks without making any sound, just like a cat.

At the end of the palace, there is only a god seat covered with flowers and grasses. A long curtain is drawn from the top of the palace to wrap the whole god seat. An illusory figure is sitting in the god seat and meditating. I saw that he was as tall and thin as a crane, and he looked like a fairy.

The eunuch came ten steps away from the divine throne, and fell to the ground first: "Little Yuan Chong, I have seen Emperor Wanshou."

On the divine throne, the old man in the curtain closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, sitting cross-legged on the flower and grass futon, he never opened his eyes: "Why are you so eager to see me?"

"I tell my master Long Live, I know that you are cultivating immortality, but Zhou Dunru in Luo City handed over the booklet..."

"I handed over a note that should be under the cabinet's control. What are you looking for?" The old man on the throne said Qingjing.

"It's not that I want to disturb Master Qingxiu rashly, but the content in this booklet is not suitable for submission to the cabinet." Yuan Chong knelt on the ground and said.

"Get up." The old man still did not open his eyes: "Since it is not suitable for the cabinet draft, then it is not a court matter."

"Exactly, Zhou Dunru wrote a booklet, claiming that there are beehive thieves in Luo City, but Luo City is not strong enough to subdue these thieves, so I implore the master, can send some experts over there, and wipe out these rebellious officials and thieves."

"Hive?" The old man mused over these two words: "Is that the hive that assassinated the Minister of Household Department at the end of last year?"

"Master Mingjian, that's right." Yuan Chong nodded yes.

"How many months has it been?" The old man opened his eyes: "Half a year!"

His voice was sullen, and Yuan Chong knelt on the ground with a plop when he heard the words.

Trembling.

"Master, you have to take care of the dragon body." He knelt on the ground and begged.

"It's been half a year, I asked you to investigate, and you have not yet uprooted the beehive. Instead, the governor of Los Angeles, Zhou Dunru, came to see my joke!" Chong: "You are in charge of Dongchang, and Gu Chuan is in charge of Beizhen Fusi."

"I gave you three months to get rid of the evil, uproot it, and leave no future trouble."

"Three months and three months, more than six months have passed, and now you tell me that the hive is not only not seriously injured, but can make waves again in Los Angeles."

"May I think that after Xue Ping's death, you bunch of trash will become complete idiots?"

Yuan Chong knelt down on the ground, not daring to say a word.

He could only beg: "Your Majesty."

The old man sat on the throne for a while, then said coldly, "Slap your mouth."

Yuan Chong kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Long Live, for your kindness."

Saying this, he knelt on the ground, bowed left and right, and the sound was clear and crisp, slap after slap, but his face slowly began to swell, and the old man said behind the curtain: "Enough."

"What are you going to do next?" the old man continued to ask.

"Subordinate, this subordinate will personally lead the team to uproot the beehives around Los Angeles!" Yuan Chong said coldly.

The old man stared at him coldly, noncommittal.

"Is it necessary?" He said quietly: "You, a eunuch of the East Factory, left Yanjing for such a trivial matter?"

"Then..." Yuan Chong fell into hesitation.

"Let Lu Yuan lead the team there." The old man said lightly, "And tell him that this time the matter is settled, and I will let him be the commander of the Jinyiwei."

"Yes, I remember it, little one." Yuan Chong said tremblingly.

"Go down." The old man said coldly: "You disturbed my cultivation, and I have to practice for another seven to seven days before I can count it as a law."

"Yes, yes." Yuan Chong knelt and moved backwards, all the way out of the main hall door, then got up and walked away from the smoky and hot hall.

The boots are full of sweat.

……

……

In the city of Bianliang, the small courtyard of the West Lake.

In the room deep in the small building, the night pearl placed on the wall and above the head gave off a faint light.

Although not as bright as a candle, it is enough for people in this room to see each other clearly.

There is only one huge round table here.

There are people sitting at the head of the round table, and people sitting around it.

But in the entire room, there are only four people who are eligible to sit.

The rest of the people stood around.

"The mission to assassinate Shang Jiuge has been cancelled."

The person sitting at the front can only see a silhouette, and the voice is that of a rather young woman.

The people sitting around did not raise any doubts, but the people standing around felt some slight throbbing.

"Who made the decision?" Someone standing asked.

"Of course he is qualified to make decisions." The woman who was leading the head said lightly.

"This matter is just a notification, not a discussion."

"The second thing we want to discuss." She looked at everyone, and then continued, "About He Ping."

Hearing this name, everyone felt a slight suffocation for a moment.

"He Ping submitted her new assassin application list to the organization just a few hours ago."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a slight whispering sound below.

"Does this also need to be discussed?"

"On such an occasion?"

"Is He Ping still alive?"

"Isn't it a big deal?"

Amid such doubts, the woman smiled.

"This time, He Ping proposed a list of four candidates."

"I just need to read it aloud, and you will know why you have come to this meeting."

"The first list: It is scheduled to be Wooden Bee and Bee Needle, Huashan Shang Jiuge."

"The second list: Scheduled for the wood bee bee wings, Shanxi Sheng Junqian."

"The third list is scheduled to be Carpenter Bee Needle, Hei Wu of the Western Regions."

"The fourth list is scheduled for Wooden Bee and Bee Wing, Ningxia in the Western Regions."

The woman uttered these names one by one. Every time she uttered a name, there was a moment of silence. When all four names were uttered, there was only a faint sound of breathing in the whole room.

"So that's why Shang Jiuge was removed from the assassination list?" the man sitting opposite the woman asked in a low voice.

The woman showed a faint smile.

"Exactly."

ps: The next two updates will be released together, and the fifth update will arrive even though it is late.

Also, the transitional chapters are so hard to write!
