Assassin 3 Wind and Live

"How could this happen? How is this possible? With 20 troops, can't they protect only one person?" Murong Li felt dizzy when he heard the news, and he managed to keep on not fainting.

Seeing that Murong Li was furious, the person who reported back was so frightened that his face was almost buried in the ground, he replied in a trembling voice: "The person who reported back said that the barracks was haunted that night, and the soldiers on duty at night seemed to have their hearts and souls captured. They were awake, but their bodies could not move. , the person in charge of guarding the king's tent said that the Lord Zhiming didn't seem to be conscious at the time, and he followed the 'ghost' by himself."

"It's just nonsense, let alone whether there are ghosts in this world, even if there are ghosts, ghosts have ghosts, how can ordinary people see them if they want to? What's more, there are tens of thousands of people present. Could it be that those soldiers have all opened their yin and yang eyes?" Murong Li concluded that someone was using ghosts and gods to disturb the morale of the army. He was an old hand, and he knew the trick when he heard it. But at this time, people might be more troublesome than ghosts and gods.

"I heard from the Tianquan people that it is... General Ziyu."

"Ziyu?" Murong Li's mind was a little confused, this was impossible, he was very sure that Ziyu was dead, and he had personally paid homage to him.Suspended for seven days, even if there is fake death medicine that can make people pretend for such a long time, Zi Yu had more than one fatal injury at that time, and without timely rescue and water, there was no way out.Ten thousand steps back, even if Ziyu is really alive, he will never harm Zhiming, that person cannot be Ziyu.

"Exactly, many of them followed General Ziyu to crusade against the rebellious party back then, and they will not admit their mistakes."

"Fang Ye, the assassin's body is still there that night. You can take someone to have another autopsy, and do a good job to see if they are... Liuli people?"

"Your Majesty is saying..."

"Before I wondered why they didn't go directly to Tianquan. It turned out that they had two sons at the same time. While secretly colluding with Xun Su, they undermined the peace talks between Tianquan and Yaoguang. Xun Su had no intention of entering Zhongyuan again, and the war here was delayed. Now, they can only think of another way, but I'm afraid it's fake to avenge Ziyu, and it's true to try to get involved in Zhongyuan."

Fang Ye came to report in less than a stick of incense: "Your Majesty's expectations are correct. Those people are most likely to be Liuli people. They don't have any characteristics to check, but when they took apart their buns, they found that their hair was a little curly. It should be caused by weaving hair all year round, this is indeed the habit of Liuli people."

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Wait, we have to wait. They have caught Zhiming, and they may be eyeing Tianquan. Now that Tianquan's defenses are tight, they may use Zhiming as a pawn to force Tianquan to give up resistance. You immediately send a letter to Xiao Ran, as long as they can promise not to hurt the people, they will persuade the city guards to let the king city out for now, and talk about other things after the rescue is clear."

"Your Majesty, why are they eyeing Tianquan? It was under the guise of revenge that they approached Shangxun at the beginning. Wouldn't such behavior make people suspicious?"

"Now I just hope that what they are eyeing is really Tianquan."

Fang Ye didn't understand what Murong Li meant, even the king was arrested, what else could it be if he was not targeting Tianquan?

"Fang Ye, you once fought against the enemy with Ziyu. In your opinion, what is his qualification?"

"General Ziyu... is brave and good at fighting, and is also very proficient in military strategy. He is not chaotic in times of crisis, unlike..." Fang Ye didn't continue, unlike the Zhiming King at that time who was impatient, willful and reckless, and had no country at all. the appearance of the Lord.

Murong Li recalled the various details of meeting Ziyu in the past over and over again, but he had no clue, and instead had more and more doubts.I once heard Zhiming say that he is the little prince of the Liuli Kingdom, and because he had nothing to do in the palace, he was sent to study in Tianquan.

At that time, it was a time of troubled times, when Xunsu invaded Zhongyuan, wars broke out from all over the world, and almost the whole Zhongyuan was engulfed in flames of war. Why would a prince come to another country alone at such a time?Just to learn Nakagaki culture?In just a few conversations, he found that Ziyu was extremely intelligent, courageous and resourceful.At the beginning, he refused to send troops to help Zhiming because of the civil strife in Yaoguang, but Zhiming couldn't understand it, but Ziyu easily explained the reason, and he even felt murderous because of it.With Ziyu's qualifications, is he really just an idle prince doing nothing?

"Fang Ye, immediately send a few safe people to Liuli to inquire about the affairs of the Liuli royal family in recent years, no matter how big or small."

"Yes."

What Murong Li didn't expect was that ten days later, everything would still be peaceful.Neither Zhong Kunyi, who had been watching in the dark, nor the group of Liuli people who were elusive, did not move at all.The capital of Tianquan is still heavily guarded and ready for war at all times.The 20 Tianquan army that lost the king obeyed the order from the capital, temporarily stationed in place, and searched for traces of the king in the vicinity with the last hope.

Every day that passed, Murong Li's heart sank a little more. He had always planned everything out these years, but this time the matter was completely out of his control.Now the capital of Tianquan is under his control, the reason why Master Lu and other ministers listen to his deployment is because he left several imperial edicts with jade seals when Tianquan was the director of Zhiming. Wang Ling was issued in Zhuo Zhiming's handwriting.Now Zhiming disappeared on the way back from Yaoguang, because in order to deceive Zhong Kunyi, he pretended to be seriously injured and retreated, so it is very likely that Yaoguang will be blamed for this.The news of Zhiming's disappearance had already been sent back to the capital, and the Wang Ling could no longer be used.If the Tianquan army can't find Zhiming, they will return home sooner or later. At that time, they will find that Mr. Xiao, who is currently in charge of the defense of the capital, is the general of the enemy country Yaoguang. What kind of disturbance will it cause?

In the canyon not far from Yuzhao Pass, no one thought that the earth-shattering person they were looking for had already reached Tianquan one step ahead of them.There are strange rocks here, and there are flowers, trees and vines everywhere, and the camouflage is excellent.

When Zhiming woke up, he was greeted by a refreshing fragrance of grass and trees. He was lying on a pile of straw, and the tent above his head was no longer Tianquan's tent.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember your old friend?"

"You are not an old friend." Zhi Ming turned his head, saw the man's face, and said with certainty.

"How did the Lord Zhiming see it?"

Seeing this extremely familiar face, Zhi Ming had mixed feelings for a moment, and he didn't pretend to be seriously injured. He straightened his clothes and sat up: "Are you Ziyu's younger brother? I vaguely remember that he mentioned that you are Zidui ?”

"Master Zhiming didn't ask me why I brought you here?"

"It's to avenge Ziyu. Ziyu's death has other secrets behind it. You don't need to trouble Yaoguang."

"No matter what the secrets are, he sent troops to help Murong Li, but Murong Li refused to save him."

"It's the soldiers sent by the king. He obeys the orders of the king. The king will definitely avenge Ziyu's revenge. If you want to kill the enemy yourself, you can do it yourself, but you must not provoke Yao Guang, lest you find yourself dead. .”

"The Lord Zhiming said that, are you really worried that I will kill myself?" Zi Dui asked back, with an innocent smile on his face, just like Zi Yu back then, but Zhi Ming is no longer the fatuous king he used to be. I will never be easily deceived by appearances.

"My king and Murong Li have known each other for many years, and they originally had a deep friendship, but this time is different from the past, so don't make a mistake."

"You..." The smile on Zidui's face gradually disappeared.

"After Ziyu's death, you haven't heard from Tianquan for a long time." Zhi Ming didn't ask a question, but stated a fact.
