king game

The team in black armor rushed in quickly from the outside. The leader was a burly man with a thick back, a square face with thick eyebrows, and a full beard. He held a strong longbow in his hand. With a stare, he rushed towards the woman holding two swords with murderous aura.

The woman lost her chance to change her tricks.There was a sound of broken strings in the air, her figure was crooked, and one foot was twisted out strangely, she no longer cared about the so-called fairy, her eyes flickered, her body ran towards the strong man like a bird Come!

Just as he was about to say hello to the king, he saw the assassin coming towards him. The man burst into anger, he drew out the big sword at his waist, and slashed at the man.And the woman was still as calm and indifferent as before, as if the change of color from being startled by a sword just now was an illusion.Her body is not as flexible as before, as if one side of her body is stuck, it looks weird.

But her movements are still very flexible, much more agile than those of the men on the battlefield. Her short sword is as poisonous as a snake, and it cuts from the bottom in the opposite direction, trying to peel off a layer of flesh from his wrist.

The man was furious, he felt that he was greatly underestimated, what's more, if the assassin slipped away in front of the king, what face would he have to stay by the king's side as an internal historian with the responsibility of protecting him?He roared angrily, the long sword in his hand was more fierce and ruthless, compared to fighting, how could this little girl be against him, a soldier who had been on the battlefield!

Lu Qianqiu slowly retracted the long sword in his hand into its sheath, and he returned to his calm and calm appearance before.But now no one regards him as a simple king. They quietly glanced at the seemingly innocuous ceremonial long sword from the side several times, and their hearts were full of surprise or admiration. All in all, they I feel a little more admiration in my heart.

The general in armor didn't know what he was facing, and some of the usual cognitions couldn't be applied to her at all—the woman's shoulder was hit by such a powerful blow, but she was still so indifferent. She was shocked, as if the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow could not affect her at all.She tipped her toes, and the short sword made a long cut on the general's wrist. Then, she turned away, wanting to continue running away.

"Stop!" A childish voice said nervously. A shorter arrow struck from the side. The position of the knee has nothing to do with it.

The woman was caught off guard, and suddenly fell to her knees after being injured.Supporting her body with a dagger, she raised her head, and a young and excited face was reflected in her dark eyes. There was still fear and tension on that face, but even so, he still kept his face The cold long sword rested on her neck, and she warned loudly: "Don't move!"

The woman tried to continue assassinating without realizing it, the young man's pupils shrank, and with his hand's force, the sword edge cut into her neck... But the strange thing is, no matter what kind of wound it was, the woman in green didn't have any wounds. No blood flowed out, this special scene made some people think about it.

"What the hell is this?" The general chasing from behind broke her other leg cursingly, and took off the hands holding the sword. After that, he went to plead guilty to Lu Qianqiu with some shame: "Yes A certain dereliction of duty, allowing such villains to break in and frighten the king, this is my crime!"

Xu Fu and Xiangli looked at the big man strangely. Didn't this man see the scene where his king drew his sword just now?Why did the woman escape?Didn't he fall into a disadvantage in front of this king!Seeing how fearless she is now, I don't know where she was threatened just now...

"Get up," Lu Qianqiu shook his head: "This is not your responsibility, Zikuang."

He walked up to the woman.The woman looked at him very vigilantly, her dark eyes stared straight at him, as if she would jump up in the next second.He didn't continue to look at her, but turned to the young general, and suddenly asked, "Your name?"

The young man showed surprise, he hastily knelt down to salute, put his hands on his forehead and said: "My subordinate Meng Tian, ​​I have seen Your Majesty!"

Lu Qianqiu said "hmm": "Old General Meng Ao is..."

"It's the subordinate's grandfather." The young man said.

"That's right," Lu Qianqiu praised, "That arrow shot just now was very interesting."

Meng Tian was a little embarrassed and said: "I think she is a bit strange, her body...is not like a normal human being..."

Lu Qianqiu nodded, and he ordered someone to remove the woman's severed arm completely. What was exposed inside was not the flesh and bones that people thought, but the branches made of wood and resin. The appearance of muscles and bones; her skin is composed of some kind of leather, the surface is very delicate, but it feels very cold to the touch.

All the people present were horrified, as if they had seen a ghost, and the grumpy general was taken aback even more, he exclaimed in shock: "What the hell is this?!"

Xu Fu stood in front of the coffin and stretched his neck to look over. He wanted to see the woman's reality, but the immortal corpse was too important for him to leave here.The lid of the coffin was half placed on top of it, and the inner capacity was also very deep. It was impossible to see what was inside unless one looked down from the top, but he still stuck to it, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"It's just a puppet," Lu Qianqiu said to everyone's bewildered faces, "It is said that when King Mu of Zhou returned from Kunlun, he met a craftsman Yanshi performing his skills. The concubine of King Mu was dismantled by the artisans eager to get rid of the crime. The body of the puppet is made of a fake made of this material. If her chest is cut open, there must be a fake heart inside Let's go with the inner organs!"

"This is no longer a skill that humans should have." Those who heard it couldn't believe it, and some people noticed another point, and the young man was one of them. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty is saying that there is a master messenger behind her." ?”

Since it is a puppet, there will be a maker, and there will also be a manipulator. Grabbing a puppet is just a tool, just like handing over a sword. If the source is not erased, all this will not end.

"You're right." Lu Qianqiu praised.He bent slightly and drew an invisible silk thread from the woman's head, without any intention of explaining, he smiled softly and said, "Go and invite Mr. Xiangbang here."

The others were a little puzzled, and suddenly turned the question to the other side for some reason.

"When such a big thing happened, why don't you need to discuss it with Mr. Xiangbang?" Lu Qianqiu said with a smile: "Master Xiangbang has the talent to fix the country, so I should not hide this issue from him. With his help, the murderer behind the scenes will definitely be caught."

The young man faintly felt that something was wrong.The puppet lying on the ground struggled even harder.The young man seemed to have thought of something, and that thought was like a passing light, once it passed, he could never remember it again.He lowered his head and promised in a deep voice: "Follow Your Majesty's order!"

Lu Buwei suddenly woke up from the bed.His heart was beating fast, and his pupils were a little dizzy.He kept stroking the ring on his little finger, but the utensils that could comfort him in the past seemed to have lost that magical power. He saw a light and radiant silk thread breaking from the void, it Falling down feebly, like his heart sinking to the bottom of the valley.

"What's wrong with Ah Lan?" He got off the couch and paced back and forth non-stop: "I sent her to watch the palace. It's been fine for so long. Why did you suddenly lose contact today?"

This kind of thing has never happened before. The puppets have weird and fast skills. They are not afraid of pain and death. They are the strongest force under him, but now...

He didn't know how the thread worked, but he knew that the other end of the thread was connected to his only puppet.He named her "Alan", she was the guard who had saved him and eradicated enemies for him.She is his weapon and his closest maid.

"Could it be that someone caught her?" Lu Buwei was a little puzzled: "Can someone really catch her? Even if she can't even report back? Is it the queen mother's person or the prince's person?"

He waited for a long time, but still did not receive any news.He decided not to wait any longer, he wanted to gather some people and go to the palace to have a look, no matter what, worrying without a clue here would not have any effect, he needed to know what happened before he could make a decision How to do it.

And just as he walked out of the door, someone from the mansion rushed here, and his trusted servant bowed deeply to him and said: "Master, someone wants to see you."

"Who?" Lu Buwei had a bad feeling.

"It's the king's man." The servant didn't know what happened: "The guards who came out of the palace are said to be summoned by His Majesty."

Lu Buwei took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "Lead the way!"

He saw Meng Tian in the front hall, and the young general was very respectful: "My lord, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Lu Buwei said calmly: "Now is not the time for the court meeting, why did His Majesty call me to go?"

Meng Tian hesitated for a while, but still replied: "Xiangbang should soon know that it was the assassin who broke into His Majesty..."

Lu Buwei closed his eyes: "Assassin? What kind of assassin is so bold?!"

Meng Tian remembered his unbelievable conjecture at that time, he didn't dare to say any more, he just cupped his hands and said: "Master Xiangbang will know it after he has seen it."

"You can't even talk to me?" Lu Buwei smiled and said, "I'm also worried about the king..."

Meng Tian shook his head.Lu Buwei's expression turned cold, and the people around him immediately understood his expression. He took a step forward and scolded: "Bold! Don't you even listen to Mr. Xiangbang?"

Meng Tian gritted his teeth and said: "Master Xiangbang, why should you be so forceful? As long as your lord enters the palace, is there anything that you won't tell your lord?"

The servant waited to drink again, but Lu Buwei stopped him. He took a deep look at the young man and said, "What you said makes sense, I've lost my manners. What's your name?"

Meng Tian answered.Lu Buwei was stunned: "Who are you, Meng Ao?"

"It's my grandfather." Meng Tian said proudly.

"The Meng family..." Lu Buwei began to worry.
