Nightwatcher Chapter 19: Chaohui

Chapter 250 Council Meeting

The arrow turned into an afterimage in the dark. Xu Qi'an couldn't catch it with his eyesight, but his powerful mental power locked the light-blue arrow.

The Refining God Realm is the small pinnacle of the warrior's combat power. This is not to say, the warrior of this realm has an ultra-sensitive intuition for danger.

When you reach the realm of refining the gods, you basically bid farewell to the fate of being ambushed, attacked, and attacked.

Sitianjian’s magic weapon military crossbow, can shoot down the weapon of refining the gods!

Xu Qi'an immediately judged the base of the opponent's weapon, because he also had such a magic weapon.

Subconsciously, he wanted to leap off his horse, avoiding arrows.

"No, my little mare can't die here..."

The thought flashed, and he suddenly changed his mind. He put his right hand on the back of the waist. Accompanied by the clear sound of the scabbard of the sharp blade, he backhanded and slashed, cutting off the arrow with precision.

Wow... In the slight noise of the sliding tiles, two men in black jumped up from the roof, one to the left and the other, and flicked Xu Qi'an.

They were holding standard long knives in their hands, and the hob gang distorted the air and wanted to cut Xu Qi'an and the horse together.

"Drive!"

Perceiving the crisis, Xu Qi'an clamped the horse's belly in advance, prompting the beloved little mare to run forward, avoiding the attack of the two.

At the same time, he jumped up from his horse and settled on the roof of a restaurant lightly.

"Boom!"

The blades of the two men in black cut into the air, cutting deep knife marks on the ground.

The realm of refining the gods........ Xu Qi'an looked down and made a judgment in his heart.

And what makes him even more concerned is that the man in black hiding in the alley ahead is probably better than the God Refining Realm.

Strategic retreat!

This is the inner city. There are guards patrolling, and the five guards of the imperial city take turns patrolling. These three killers cannot stay for too long. The time left for them is more limited than the time left for the national football team.

As long as I don't fight, if they can't take me down in a short time, they will retreat on their own. When the time comes, they will immediately use the Vision Qi technique, bring the guards and hunt three people, and reverse the situation.

At this time, Xu Qi'an once again had a picture in his mind. The long figure in black appeared strangely behind him and hit him in the back of the head with a punch.

Fuck, when did he appear behind me... Xu Qi'an's body was faster than his brain, and he swooped down instinctively and jumped off the roof.

At the same time, a fist blasted through the air behind the ears, like a thunderous explosion.

Boom!

The air machine wrapped in the fist blasted a rippling air ring in the air.

The master seemed to be surprised as soon as he failed.

Xu Qi'an just landed, and he was greeted by two divine knives.

Ding Ding.... He swung his knife open the two cut knives, and after landing, he fled quickly.

It is too dangerous to move on the roof, so clever use of obstacles such as alleys and houses is a safer method.

But he hasn't taken a few steps yet, the sound of breaking air behind him quickly approached, and the picture of the man in black attacked automatically in his mind.

Xu Qi'an gritted his teeth, twisted his waist, turned around and chopped.

Ding!

The black gold long knife slashed on his fist, bursting out a dazzling spark. Xu Qian's right hand cracked, and his legs slipped out for more than ten meters. The thick soles broke away from the shoe body in the crack of thorns.

Sixth rank martial artist, with bronze skin and iron bones.

Despite the expectation, Xu Qi'an's heart still sank.

The messenger behind me knows my level, so the killer sent can almost kill me....... At the same time, he also knows my walking route, so he ambushes on the only way.

Who is going to kill me?

I don’t have time to think about it so much now, because the attack by two masters of the refinement realm followed closely. The three of them were obviously a small team that cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding. The connection is extremely close.

Within fifty strokes, I will die... Xu Qi'an flashed this terrible enlightenment in his heart.

He halted his figure hastily, ignoring the slash of the one on the left, and made a posture that he wanted to die with the one on the right, but the strange thing was that the person on the right died calmly with him, and the one on the left who could obviously attack The man took the knife back to defend.

Xu Qi'an suddenly turned around and slashed to the man in black on the left, just hitting the blade he was blocking.

Puff...The long black man on the right pierced Xu Qi'an's left shoulder.

"Cut!"

Xu Qi'an cursed secretly.

His real goal is the man in black on the left, and the man in black on the right is just doing the same thing, but the other party is also in the spirit of refining, and he has noticed the crisis in advance.

Stealing chickens can't lose rice.

Xu Qi'an kicked the man in black on the right.

At this time, the master of the Copperskin and Iron Bone Realm had already culled in an instant, his fist gathered momentum and fiercely hit Xu Qi'an in the chest.

Boom!

The sound of something exploding in Xu Qi'an's chest, the next moment, he seemed to be hit by a heavy truck.

"Cough cough cough..."

The steady Xu Qi'an coughed up bleeding foam, and his chest burst was the gong assigned by the gongmen's yamen, as well as Song Qing's heart shield.

Under the double defense, he blocked the full blow of the copper-skinned and iron-boned master and saved the dog's life.

"Standard weapons, Sitianjian’s magic weapon crossbow, and even daring to kill people on the street in the inner city, you are the dead men raised by some big man."

As he spoke, he glanced around his eyes calmly.

The three men in black didn't accept Qi'an's words, and they didn't realize that they were villains at all, and they rushed forward with perseverance.

Xu Qi'an turned around and ran, drilling into the narrow alley on the right.

The three men in black chased into the alley and saw Xu Qi'an standing at the end of the alley. The sharp and unparalleled long knife had retracted its scabbard.

"Why didn't you run away?" asked the assassin of the Copperskin and Iron Bone Realm.

Hoarse voice, disguised.

"I can't run away, so I plan to kill you here." Xu Qi'an squinted, satisfied with the width of the alley, allowing only one person to pass.

One shot, he only has one chance.

The master of the Bronze Skin and Iron Bone Realm frowned, concentrating on the surroundings, and did not catch the footsteps of the guards and patrol soldiers.

But Xu Qi'an's self-confidence makes him instinctively vigilant.

Bluffing?

At this moment, he saw the bronze gong who had just entered the realm of refining gods, and slowly put his right hand on the handle of the knife.

Concentrate a little bit and reach the top.

All emotions fall back, all qi is restrained, just like when a tsunami comes, the sea will first ebb.

At this moment, the three men in black had warning signs, and their intuition from the Divine Refining Realm told them: danger, danger, danger...

Without hesitation, they followed Wufu's instinct and planned to exit the alley. But at this moment, a piercing eardrum sounded, and a roar of vibrating spirit sounded.

The consciousness of the three of them fell into instant chaos, and they lost control of their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a sound of unsheathing as clear as a dragon crowing.

The assassin of the copper-skinned and iron-boned realm was the first to break free from the shock of the lion's roar, even when he saw a thin line of sword light coming towards him.

He only had time to cross his arms, pump his energy and muscles, and resist with his indestructible body.

.........

"Pattern."

A bronze gong trod across the roof, following the signs of destruction, he found the alley.

He leaned over to look into the alley, and saw the four people who were facing each other. Three people in black stood motionless. Opposite them, Xu Qi'an, holding a knife, panted, sweating, and a wisp of steam came from the back of his head. Curl and float.

"Here!"

The gong yelled, holding a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other, jumping into the alley and standing beside Xu Qi'an.

The two gongs on the adjacent ridges then came and entered the alley.

"Master Xu, are you all right."

The patrol squad of the trio sent a caring greeting. They felt it, but did not hear the heartbeat of the three men in black, and judged that the killers had died.

"I've got a little hurt, it's not in the way."

Xu Qi'an was panting. Before the three colleagues arrived, he had already taken a powerful pill, and his strength was slowly recovering, but he had to rest for another quarter of an hour if he wanted to resume walking.

The sword sent by Jianzheng is a perfect match with Heaven and Earth.

The three gongs slowly nodded and looked at the people in black. They were able to force Master Xu, who had just entered the realm of **** refinement, into such embarrassment. One of them must be in the realm of **** refinement.

At this time, noisy and dull footsteps came, and a team of fifty guards rushed over.

"Master Xu, you first go back to the yamen for healing, these three will be handled by us."

The talking gong went out of the alley, and ordered the guard who came over, saying: "You **** Mr. Xu back to call the guard's office, leaving ten people to assist the officer in handling the body."

The little head of the Mitsui guard held his fist and said: "Yes."

After Xu Qian left, the three gongs returned to the alley. When they touched the corpse, the man in black who had been standing still suddenly collapsed in half. The upper body was separated from the lower body, and an oblique wound appeared on the waist. Straighten the incision.

Various organs are mixed with blood, flowing all over the place.

The gongs frowned, a little disgusted, and a little surprised.

"I remember that Xu Ningyan's fascination was a powerful knife technique, which cut Zhu Yingong with a single knife."

"Yes, now it seems that the power is even greater. This knife slashed three people, and one of the three must be in the realm of refining the gods."

The three of them looked at the man in black at the same time. It was obvious that this one was the strongest of the three.

"Hey, why doesn't he have a weapon?"

The other two men in black are equipped with standard long swords and military crossbows, but the man in black is empty-handed and not armed.

Is it picked up by Xu Ningyan?

With doubts, they individually inspected the body of the man in black, and when their fingers touched the body, there was a steely texture.

The body still retains the state of luck before death.

"Huh?"

A series of question marks appeared in the minds of the three at the same time.

For about a few seconds, they reacted, feeling absurd and shocked.

"Copper, copper skin and iron bone..." a gong muttered.

.......

Half an hour later, he called the government office.

Excalibur Hall.

After receiving the news, Zhang Kaitai, who was on duty tonight, summoned all the silver gongs to discuss the assassination of Xu Qi'an.

After leading a team to survey the scene of Yin Gong, Hui reported: "From the assassination to the beheading of the enemy, the whole process took no more than half an hour. The three assassins seemed to have known Xu Ningyan’s route for a long time, and laid ambush on the only way. .

"After a brief confrontation between the two sides, they chased Xu Ningyan into the alley, and then they were beheaded with a single knife. They were simply neat."

Zhang Kaitai nodded and looked at another silver gong, which was responsible for examining the dead body.

The silver gong said solemnly: "The assassin used the most common standard long knife. The three major forbidden barracks and the five imperial city guards all used this kind of knife. Even some household guards in the palace of the princes used This is also the case. We cannot find clues from weapons.

"Furthermore, we found a magic weapon crossbow from an assassin, a crossbow capable of threatening the realm of God Refining. But it still cannot be a breakthrough.

"The situation of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War is very serious. The princes and ministers privately buy and sell military supplies are also frequent. Over the years, there are countless weapons and armaments that have flowed out. It is impossible to find out.

"If you want to investigate, it will involve most of the capital officialdom, and there will be a lot of resistance. I am afraid that even if your Majesty personally ordered it, most of it will be fruitless."

Zhang Kaitai nodded, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and asked: "Where are the cultivation skills of the three assassins?"

"Two Refining God Realms and one Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm."

Slayed the Refining God Realm and the Copperskin Iron Bone Realm with a single blow...The hall fell into deathly silence.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Kaitai said, "Where is Xu Ningyan?"

"After dealing with the injury, I fell asleep."

Zhang Kaitai nodded, looked around the silver gongs, and coughed, "You don't need to pay too much attention to certain details. As silver gongs, you are all talented people who are first-class talents, not worse than anyone else. Only occasionally... .. There will be one or two freaks once in a while, and you can’t do it often."

The silver gongs echoed a few words with a strong smile.

Zhang Kaitai changed the subject, "Do you think, who will send the assassin."

A silver gong frowned and said: "For the time being, I don't know who Xu Ningyan has feuded with recently. Based on what we know, we can infer that if it is a personal grievance, it is most likely related to the Fufei case."

..........

The next day, at 9:00.

Zhang Kaitai first went to visit Xu Qi'an, and saw that he was asleep without interruption. He fetched the file of "The Assassination of Xu Qi'an" written by the staff last night and went to Haoqilou.

After passing the pass, he entered the Haoqi Building and saw Wei Yuan in the tea room on the seventh floor.

This high-ranking **** has two points and one line of activity: the imperial palace-Haoqi Building.

Thanks to the intelligence network laid outside by the government, he can know the world without going out.

"Wei Gong, Xu Ningyan left the palace yesterday and was assassinated on the way." Zhang Kaitai handed over the file.

Wei Yuan took the dossier but did not open it immediately, and asked, "How is he?"

"It's okay to have some injuries. It's just that I'm seriously depleted and I'm still asleep." Zhang Kaitai said.

Wei Yuan nodded, and then unfolded the dossier. After reading it quickly, he raised his head and stared at Zhang Kaitai: "Two divine refining realms, one copper skin and iron bone?"

He seems to be seeking proof.

Even a person with great wisdom like Wei Gong is often stunned by the kid's mistake... Zhang Kaitai gave a "um":

"Copper skin and iron bones."

Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, then suddenly chuckled, "Yes, not bad."

Zhang Kaitai said: "Is it related to the Fufei case?"

"The Fu concubine case is your majesty's family affair. Foreign ministers are not easy to intervene, but I will report this matter." Wei Yuan closed the file and frowned.

He doesn't have many eyeliners in the palace. After all, the palace is the site of Emperor Yuanjing. Too many eyeliners will completely anger Emperor Yuanjing. Since three chess pieces were removed last time, Wei Yuan has temporarily given up his attention to the palace.

The tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers is still necessary. Emperor Yuanjing made it clear and told him: Do not inquire about the situation in the palace.

However, after experiencing the assassination of Xu Qi'an, Wei Yuan became a little angry. He wanted to reactivate the eyeliner in the palace and pay attention to the case personally.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the stairs, and Wei Yuan looked up, then Zhang Kaitai turned his head.

A black-clothed official lowered his head, entered the tea room, and said respectfully: "Wei Gong, there is an order from the palace, at the beginning of the hour, the meeting will be."

"Got it." Wei Yuan nodded.

"What's the big thing about Xu..." Zhang Kaitai got up wittily: "That humble post will retire first."

The court meeting is not held every day. Generally speaking, a diligent king will hold a court meeting every three days. The time is fixed.

For a king who neglects his administration, once every five to ten days.

When I arrived at Emperor Yuanjing, I was basically not in the early court. One day I feel better, and I feel that if I want to take care of government affairs, I will send someone to convey the hundred officials a day in advance.

As it is today, the temporary opening of a court meeting means that something big has happened.

Wei Yuan finished drinking the tea in the cup~IndoMTL.com~ called Nangong Qianrou to enter the palace with this son.

When I arrived at Wumen at 6:00 AM, the square was full of Beijing officials. They were whispering to discuss the reason why Emperor Yuanjing suddenly convened a court meeting.

Most of them are speculating whether it is related to the Fu Fei case. The most recent major event is such a thing.

This case is related to the prince and the country. Only this is the only thing that will cause Emperor Yuan Jing, who has been idle for a long time, to suddenly convene a court meeting and call a group of ministers to discuss.

"Wei Gong."

Yoshitou Yushi of the Imperial Court greeted him, looking cautiously, and whispered: "There is news from the palace that your Majesty entered Fengqi Palace last night, and then left in a thunderous storm."

Wei Yuan's expression paused slightly, and he slowly nodded: "Yeah."
