Astral Apostle Chapter 206: Sit and watch and the enemy is close

In the sky above Ning Tianfu, Zhou Jing's clothes fluttered, riding the wind, looking down at the riots in the city like a falcon.

"This assassin assassinated the emperor alone, and I don't know if there are any accomplices to help..."

While muttering softly, he opened the elemental field of vision inspection, but found nothing.

This assassin seems to be a pure martial artist. He doesn't know how to use magic. For him, he is more difficult to catch than Mei Zhanqing.

He specializes in art. At the beginning, Mei Zhanqing was full of evil spirits. In the elemental field of vision, he was like a firefly in the dark night, so vivid and outstanding.

As for an ordinary warrior, his aura is no different from that of a mortal, and he has no distinctive features, and there are no special traces in the elemental field of vision.

Zhou Jing tried it for a while, and then closed the element vision. For this kind of target, it is better to use normal senses to find traces.

He lowered his height and hovered in the night sky, observing the search tracks of the many garrison troops, looking at the streets illuminated by torches, and at the same time devoting his energy to pay attention to the movements of the dark alleys.

Under his high perception, he can see the conditions of the flying areas. Although it is not completely visible, he will not ignore the slightest movement.

Just searched for a while, but found nothing.

"Assassins are very skilled. As long as they get rid of the pursuers, they can hide anywhere. The Ningtian Palace is very large. If there is no mysterious means of tracking, searching for a person is similar to finding a needle in a haystack..."

Zhou Jing secretly thought in a different position.

If you were an assassin, how would you escape if the assassination failed?

Hmm... run away, it must be swaggering out of town.

"Well, that's not what normal people think."

Zhou Jing settled down, switched to mortal thinking, and pondered:

"At night, the city gates are closed, and the assassins can only hide in the city. And if the emperor is assassinated, even in the daytime, the city gates are bound to be under martial law, and the thieves will not be easily lifted. Therefore, the assassins either hide in the city. I pray that I will never be found, or find a way to escape from the city. He dares to assassinate, and he is very skilled, so he should not sit still, but can avoid the city gate to check the way to escape from Ningtianfu..."

He squinted his eyes and looked at the Yulin River, which extends in all directions in the city.

The water network in Ningtian Mansion is dense. If you want to avoid the inspection, the most likely way is to take the waterway at night and find a way to get out of the city through the water gate.

Zhou Jing thought about it, then lowered the altitude, and simply flew close to the bank of the Yulin River to observe the movement of the river.

The Yulin River surrounds Ningtian Prefecture, and there are prosperous and remote sections of the river.

He searched carefully for a while, and in a remote place with a turbid river surface, he really found something unusual.

There is a stone bridge, with clumps of water plants growing in the bridge hole, and fish swimming and making ripples.

It seemed that everything was normal, but Zhou Jing found a reed tube sticking out of the water plants.

In a dark environment, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect this detail, but his perception is quite high, and his vision, smell, and hearing are far superior to ordinary people.

Under the comprehensive perception, he not only discovered this detail through vision, but also vaguely felt the weak airflow of the reed tube, as if someone was breathing in small mouths.

'There should be a person hiding under the water...mostly an assassin, otherwise he wouldn't hide like this. ’

Zhou Jing's eyes flashed, but he didn't step forward to dismantle it. Instead, he listened to the movements around him.

The sound of footsteps being searched by the Imperial Forest Army was quite far from here, and most of the buildings on the banks of this river section had their doors and windows closed, and there were no onlookers.

He rolled his eyes, coughed, and deliberately muttered:

"I don't know where this assassin is sacred. Could it be the one who urged Yama Chen Feng? This person killed officials and dignitaries all the way, claiming to be crusade against treacherous people, which is the most suspicious."

After saying that, Zhou Jing turned his head and flew up, as if he had gone elsewhere.

Actually, he circled and came back, quietly watching the movement in the air.

It didn't take long for him to discover a "drifting" reed tube appeared on this section of the river, moving quietly along the river towards the edge of the city.

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up. He didn't tell anyone about this discovery, but followed quietly in the air, staring closely at the trace of this person.

……

Duan Yunfeng was swimming cautiously in the river with a reed tube in his mouth.

In autumn, the river water is freezing cold. Rao is because he is strong and has inner qi to protect his body. He also feels that his body is gradually freezing and he can only hold on.

The water was turbid and dark, Duan Yunfeng couldn't see the road ahead clearly, and he didn't dare to stand up. He could only swim for a while and stop for a while, listening carefully to the movements on the shore across the river.

Fortunately, he has been stepping on the site this month, and is already familiar with the terrain of the river. Even if he can't see clearly underwater, he can act in the dark. When he escaped, he deliberately chose this route, leading to the water gate in the west of the city, avoiding the eyes and ears without passing through the prosperous stretch of the river.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, Duan Yunfeng finally touched the slippery moss beside the water gate wall. After listening to the movement for a while, he confirmed that there were no officers and soldiers around, and then he cautiously emerged from the water.

Here, the water gate is connected to the city wall, in the shape of an arch, closed by an iron fence, and the river is narrow, allowing only a Wu Peng boat to pass through.

As long as you go out, you can escape.

Duan Yunfeng groped and held on to the edge of an iron fence. There were a few loose spots at the connection with the city wall. During his visit this month, he sneaked at night and loosened it day after day.

He took a deep breath and burst out.

Crack!

The corner of the iron fence is broken, revealing a gap, barely able to pass sideways.

Duan Yunfeng's body rattled as he used his bone-shrinking skills, and the whole person drilled through the gap.

He passed through the water gate, not daring to relax, and hurriedly snorkeled along the river, all the way into the Spring Mountain River, and landed on the bank of a wild forest where no one was around.

It was only then that he looked back and saw the general outline of Ning Tianfu in the dark night.

"It came out..."

Until now, Duan Yunfeng's tense nerves relaxed, only to feel that his clothes were wet and sticking to his body, clammy and cold to his bones.

"Damn, the officers and soldiers were supporting too fast. I didn't kill the dog emperor this time, and I almost collapsed inside..."

Duan Yunfeng gritted his teeth, feeling both discouraged by the lack of success and resentment when he missed a shot, and his mind was mixed.

He took a sigh of relief, suppressed his inner emotions, and secretly said:

"Fortunately, I escaped, leaving a useful body, and I can't miss it again next time..."

Although he failed this time, he did not intend to just give up on assassinating the emperor.

Just after this battle, the protection around the emperor will inevitably increase, and he knows that there will be no chance in a short time.

Duan Yunfeng's original plan was that if he missed a hit, he would immediately escape, but at this moment he didn't know where to go.

"I was masked to assassinate, I didn't expose Xingzang, and I don't worry about being wanted by the court... But the world is so big, where should I go now?"

Duan Yunfeng hesitated.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the voice of "chasing soldiers" he heard across the water when he was hiding in a bridge hole.

"To urge Yan Luo Chen Feng... I have heard of this person's name, he is a good man. This person is in the realm of Jiangchun. Although he has committed many crimes, but he did not come to Ningtian Mansion, the court should not put this account on his account. Most of the time, this matter will not involve him. Well, this Chen Feng has been punishing evil all the way, it can be seen that he is also a person who resents the court, why don't I go to see him? If I can get this person's help, it would be better than me stabbing the emperor alone... …”

Duan Yunfeng's eyes changed, and when he made a decision, he got up immediately, dragged his tired body, and walked forward in the dark.

He didn't know that Zhou Jing, who was flying in the sky, was watching his back from a distance, watching him disappear into the night.

"I have some skills..."

Zhou Jing withdrew his gaze and did not intend to catch up.

He doesn't know who this person is and where he came from, and he's not sure why he's assassinating, but he doesn't want to catch the assassin right now... Whatever the reason, a strong man who dares to assassinate a stupefied king alone is better alive than dead valuable.

But he didn't plan to meet this person to make excuses, and he didn't want to risk keeping this person by his side, and he followed quietly in the air, with the intention of acting on a whim.

If the assassin was unfortunate enough to run into the garrison while escaping, he would catch the assassin as a robbery.

But if the assassin didn't alert the pursuers and fled quietly, he would turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't notice.

After all, Zhou Jing didn't really serve the emperor.

Capturing the assassin was just icing on the cake for him. The reason why he is favored is the support of alchemy and metaphysics. This is the core competitiveness of the holy family. He will not fall out of favor just because he came to help the fist halfway without finding an assassin... This is the responsibility of the Imperial Forest Army, not his.

In addition, the emperor's heart is unpredictable. If he really caught the helpless assassin of the Royal Forest Army, the emperor might be even more fearful and suspicious in his heart while he was rewarded, so it's hard to say.

Zhou Jing intentionally instructed the assassin to find Chen Feng, but because it was inconvenient to speak in person, he just pretended to mention it unintentionally, hinting at guidance. As for whether this person will go, that is unknown.

"If he goes to Chen Feng, I can find out his origin..."

Zhou Jing thought about all kinds of thoughts, and pretended to continue flying around the city.

……

As the night passed, the sky gradually turned white.

Because of the aggressive arrest by the Imperial Forest Army, the news of the emperor's assassination has already alarmed the entire Ningtian Mansion, especially the elites.

Zhou Jing flew in the sky all night, showing his behavior of searching all night in front of everyone. When the sky was bright, he came down and asked to be holy.

This time the emperor agreed to the summons and asked the commander of the Imperial Forest Army and Zhou Jing to report together.

In the hall, the emperor was wearing a dragon robe, sitting upright, watching the two enter the door and salute.

"Are the assassins caught?"

The emperor's tone was solemn.

The commander of the Royal Forest Army swallowed his saliva, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the thief is cunning. We searched all night, but we haven't found any trace of the thief yet. I have sent people to seal the city and search for them, and the assassins will not be allowed to escape." /

"Not caught yet?"

The emperor was furious, stood up suddenly, pointed at the commander of the Royal Forest Army and cursed:

"The assassin almost broke into the widow's bedroom. You failed to surround him and let him hide in the city overnight. You really are incompetent!"

"The minister is convicted!"

The commander of the garrison fell to his knees, trembling.

The emperor ignored him, turned to look at Zhou Jing, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder if the real person has found it?"

Zhou Jing didn't change his face: "Ashamed, Pindao used the method of harnessing the wind to patrol the air all night, but couldn't find the whereabouts of this person."

The emperor frowned: "The real person is very powerful, and I thought I would be able to capture it."

Zhou Jing shook his head and said calmly:

"At the time of the incident, Pindao was not here. Later, when he heard the news, the assassin was nowhere to be found, so he could only search in the dark, which was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. It's a pity that Pindao couldn't keep guarding the saint, otherwise the thieves would dare The assassination has already been captured by me."

When the emperor heard the words, he pondered for a while, but did not accuse him much, knowing that it was not the real Yufeng who was to blame for this.

At this time, Zhou Jing spoke again, and said, "The Sage was frightened last night, and the Pindao sent someone to send a bottle of Zhenxin Pill. How does the Sage feel?"

The emperor calmed down, nodded and said: "I have used it, my mind is calm, I feel a lot better, it is indeed quite effective, and I have a real person."

Zhou Jing nodded and cupped his hands:

"The Holy Highness is the real Son of the Dragon, with dragon energy to protect himself, and the heavenly secrets of immortals should also be on His Majesty's body. Every misfortune turns auspicious, and there is no danger. This assassin goes against the sky. No chance of success."

On hearing this, the emperor slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "What the real person said is good."

Everyone loves to hear good things. He has heard a lot of compliments from others, but he never tires of it.

The emperor calmed down, restrained his smile, and waved his hand: "The real person will go down first, and then look for the trace of the thief for the widow."

"The poor man stepped back first."

Zhou Jing raised his palm in a salute, then exited the palace gate, turned and walked away.

Before he took a few steps, he heard the voice of the emperor scolding the commander of the Royal Forest Army behind him.

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, pretended not to hear, did not look back, and left on his own.

For the next few days, the garrison continued to hunt down the city.

However, Zhou Jing knew that the assassin had already escaped, these searches were useless, and he was just pretending.

The emperor was assassinated, and the entire Ningtian Prefecture was shaking. The news seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread to the nearby states.

……

Jiangchun land boundary, near a county.

Chen Feng and his party rested in the forest, eating dry food and chatting casually.

Compared to more than a month ago, the team has grown considerably.

From Luhe to Jiangchun, Chen Feng killed corrupt officials and eliminated bullies all the way. He was chased and besieged by officers and soldiers for many times. Cover people.

Wherever he went, there were occasionally poor and humiliated men who wanted to change their way of life and were willing to follow Chen Feng, but such people were very few.

In addition, there are many people in the Green Forest who admire Chen Feng, come to vote, and join in the righteous deeds.

At present, the number of Chen Feng and his party has reached about forty people, like a small band of rogues.

Most of them are poor people like Zhang San, and there are about ten Lianjiazi who have wandered into the green forest, and there are some new faces.

However, although Chen Feng's reputation in the Green Forest is high, the public opinion is mixed.

After all, the killing industry is too heavy. Even if the killing is a bully and a nobleman, there are still many people who are afraid, thinking that he is a lawless murderer, and his name can stop a child crying at night.

But there are also people who applaud this kind of behavior. Most of them are poor families who have been oppressed by local gentry. Some people have even followed the trajectory of Chen Feng's actions and took the initiative to find them, hoping to invite Chen Feng to visit their hometown.

At this time, there was a sound in the forest, but Fang Zhen, who was inquiring about the news, came back.

Fang Zhen strode closer, excitedly speaking:

"Brothers, I just heard about a major incident. It is said that someone stabbed the king in Ningtian Mansion and almost succeeded!"

"Is there such a thing? Brother Fang, please tell me in detail!"

When everyone heard the words, they were immediately interested and asked again and again.

Tai Fangzhen explained it in detail, and everyone was amazed.

Guo Haishen couldn't help but admire:

"Assassinating the emperor alone, and still able to retreat, is also a hero with superb martial arts!"

"It's really a person, but unfortunately I don't know his name. I really want to meet."

Hong Dingxian also nodded again and again~IndoMTL.com~ Zhang San noticed another key point and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, the folks suspect that this was done by the brothers? It's ridiculous, we don't have wings, how can we Flying to Ningtian Mansion overnight? My husband said something, we didn't do it, we can't be implicated by others."

Chen Feng sat on the stone with a golden sword and snorted:

"Folk rumors, don't worry about it. Even if the imperial court really put the dung pot on my head, what should I be afraid of? It makes my grandfather angry, so why not pluck the head of the dog emperor!"

"Brother is arrogant! If the court dares to come, let's kill one with one, and two with one!"

The crowd laughed in agreement.

At the same time, on the official road dozens of miles away.

Shen Sanqiu and other 28 arena experts are galloping on horseback, getting closer and closer to Chen Feng's position.
