The Golden Age Chapter 775: Oriental
Everyone present was dumbfounded at this moment, even Qin Xiao was dumbfounded.
It was naturally the shop assistant who was standing next to Qiao Ruixin. After he came in, he kept his head down and no one paid attention to him. He was only attracted by the golden boy chicken he was holding.
This man made a sudden move, not only quickly, but also fiercely.
While everyone was in a daze, the guy was already flashing, and he flicked toward the window like a ghost.
"Where to go!"
Chen Xi is not an ordinary person after all. After a moment, he caught a glimpse of the man who was about to leave, screamed, and stepped forward. The whole person had already jumped up and landed on the table, taking advantage of his strength to fly over to the man.
The two personal guards who guarded the door had also noticed that something was wrong in the room, and rushed in together, just in time to see Xia Houning's body tilting to the left, and only then did he "bang" and hit the ground heavily. For a while, he was not completely dead, his body twitched freely, and there was still brain plasma flowing out from the temples.
The two guards rushed over and only glanced at them, all in shock.
They knew that Lord Hou would not survive.
The guy has jumped out of the window at the moment, with a charming figure, he jumped from the second floor and landed lightly on the street. There were also a few soldiers guarding the restaurant’s main entrance, and suddenly he saw someone falling from above. , Were all a little surprised, but when he saw that figure fell after receiving it, he didn't even look back, and quickly ran to the dim alley opposite the restaurant.
The guard suddenly felt wrong. The figure hadn't ran into the alley. Another figure fell from the sky and landed on the street, shouting: "There is an assassin, catch the assassin!" Quickly chased the figure, and the guards did this. After recovering, they chased after Chen Xi.
The two guards under Xia Houning were shocked to see that Lord Hou was killed, but they were also dispelled.
Both of them are Grade 4 martial artists hired by Xiahou's family with a lot of money. This trip will accompany Xiahouning to Jiangnan with only one task, which is to ensure the absolute safety of Lord Hou.
But Lord Hou was assassinated under his nose.
The two guards knew that they hadn't done enough to protect Lord Hou. If such a big incident happened, the state minister would certainly not let the murderer go, but he would never bypass himself.
With the strength of Xiahou's family, punishing two guards is like killing two bugs.
They know that the only opportunity to atone for their sins is to catch the murderer.
So the two did not hesitate at all. When Chen Xi jumped down from the window, they both flew over and jumped down from the window one after another.
The room was silent for a while.
The shopkeeper and the guys outside the door are already soft. The guys are like bronze statues and dare not move, but the shopkeeper has involuntarily sat down, pale face, cold sweat, and pupil contraction. There was a blank in his mind.
Qin Xiao and Qiao Ruixin also sat like stone sculptures, with shocked faces.
After a while, Qin Xiao got up slowly, walked around the table, walked to Xia Houning, looked at Xia Houning who was lying on the ground, and found that Xia Houning hadn't died completely yet, and his body was still twitching slightly. But under his head, he was already stained red with blood and brain plasma.
The light in Xia Houning's eyes has dissipated, and she is dim and idiosyncratic.
Qin Xiao looked at Xia Houning blankly, but his mind was also in chaos.
Because of tonight
The development of the matter has completely exceeded Qin Xiao's expectations, and he was also caught off guard.
Qin Xiao knew that the assassin did not arrange it himself.
I discussed with Hongye last night, and I was convinced that tonight’s banquet must be a trap. With Xiahouning’s temperament and courage, I took advantage of this evening’s banquet to get rid of a Dali Temple official who was disobedient or even hostile to him. In fact, it's not a shocking thing.
Furthermore, after analyzing the information provided by Hongye, both Qin Xiao and Hongye also believed that Xiahouning's personal master black-headed eagle was the one who took the assassination.
The assassins needed to assassinate the officials of Dali Temple not only need to be skilled and have the ability to kill in one blow, but they also need absolute loyalty.
The black-headed eagle possesses these two points and is naturally the best candidate.
Xia Houning set a trap, and Qin Xiao knew it well.
The appearance of Hongye gave Qin Xiao an appropriate countermeasure immediately.
The best way to make Xia Houning’s plan fail is, of course, to cut off the possibility of the assassination. The black-headed eagle responsible for the execution of this operation is the most critical point in this plan, Qin Xiao It is clear that as long as the black-headed eagle is resolved, Xiahouning hastily unable to find other alternative assassins, so this assassination plan has to be cancelled.
Qin Xiao asked himself that he hadn't solved the black-headed eagle's strength, but Hongye had such a skill.
Hongye has outstanding disguise techniques, ever-changing, and his cultivation is never lost to the black-headed eagle. Since he can sneak into the Cishi Mansion quietly, then sneaking into Xiahouning's residence is actually not too difficult.
According to Qin Xiao's plan, Hong Ye can pretend to be Xia Houning, so that the black-headed eagle loses protection.
After all, in the place where Xiahouning lived, the black-headed eagle found Xiahouning appeared in front of him, and it was absolutely impossible to suspect that someone else was pretending to be.
If there is a head-on confrontation, even if the black-headed eagle is inferior to Hongye in martial arts, but Hongye wants to solve it quickly, it is absolutely impossible. Only if the black-headed eagle does not have any intention to guard, Hongye suddenly makes a move. A fatal blow.
As long as Hongye can get rid of the black-headed eagle and make him completely disappear from this world, then Xiahouning will not have the tools to assassinate, and the assassination plan will naturally be impossible.
For Xia Houning himself, although Qin Xiao had a murderous heart, he knew that it was not the time to do it yet.
Xia Huning’s identity is too special. If there is an accident in Hangzhou, it will shock the court and the opposition, and it will inevitably make the court appear huge waves.
He knows that the country has high hopes for Xiahouning, and even put the future of Xiahou’s family on this An Xinghou’s body, so if Xiahouning’s accident happens in Hangzhou, it will be a heavy blow to Xiahou’s family. Because of this, Xiahou's counterattack will also be extremely fierce.
After all, Xiahou's family is the power of power in the hands of the people. If you really want to concentrate on doing something, there are probably not many people in the world that can stop it.
And Xiahouning is also the nephew of the saint. Some people dare to assassinate Xiahouning, that is, to break ground on the head of the present saint. In public or private, the saint will be furious.
Once the saint and the state of the country have to find out the real murderer behind the scenes, the horrible power that erupts from them is enough to scare anyone.
Xia Houning wants to kill Qin Xiao tonight. Once he succeeds, the world's first suspect is Xia Houning. By the same token, at tonight's banquet, if Xia Houning is killed, then Qin Xiao will become The biggest suspect.
After all, the two are already tit-for-tat in Hangzhou, everyone knows.
Xiahouning killed Qin Xiao, no one dared to hold Xiahou’s family accountable, but if Qin Xiao really planned to assassinate Xiahouning, the state minister would inevitably use all the power at hand to investigate the truth. Qin Xiao asked about the current situation. His own strength was simply unable to compete with Xiahou's family.
He is not a fool.
So even if he had a murderous intent on Xiahouning in his heart, killing him at this time would undoubtedly cause trouble to the upper body, and he was extremely stupid.
The purpose of Qin Xiao and Xia Houning's battle in Hangzhou is indeed because they are not used to Xia Houning’s aggressive behavior of killing innocent people, and for another reason, he hopes to gain more support from Musk Moon. For Qin Xiao, the ultimate goal of ruining in the court was to recruit and train a new army to recover Xiling and kill Li Tuo with his own hands.
Under such a goal, he can ruthlessly cut through the thorns on the road, and at the same time, he will be patient and will not act recklessly.
For this reason, in the plan last night, Hongye was specially asked to leave a memo, which was a fake black-headed eagle, and that memo was actually used as a test.
Although Qin Xiao and Hongye both judged that Xia Houning might have let the black-headed eagle take the assassination, this is still only speculation, and it is not completely certain. Maybe Xia Houning unexpectedly arranged other assassins and it is unknown.
So that memo is also very important.
If it is indeed the black-headed eagle who is responsible for the action, then Xia Houning read the note and thought that the black-headed eagle really ambushed by himself, but if the person responsible for the action in the assassination plan was not the black-headed eagle, the black-headed eagle left it behind. A sticky note would inevitably make Xia Huning suspicious, and he would guess that there was a problem in the assassination plan. As a result, the assassination plan tonight is likely to be cancelled.
In fact, after Xia Houning read the memo, everything went smoothly and there was no change, which made Qin Xiao ascertain that the black-headed eagle was indeed the assassin responsible for the action.
As the black-headed eagle is dead, Qin Xiao came to attend the appointment tonight, and the assassination plan could not be implemented. Naturally, Qin Xiao could return unscathed, which perfectly resolved Xiahouning's plan.
In Qin Xiao and Hongye's plan, it is naturally impossible to design Xia Houning to be killed in the Sanhe Building.
So when the shop clerk took the assassination, it was completely beyond Qin Xiao's expectation.
Xia Huning painstakingly designed to assassinate herself at the banquet tonight, but in the end he was killed by the assassin.
This makes Qin Xiao only feel incredible.
The assassin’s shots were swift and sharp. The skill of using chopsticks to kill is definitely not what an ordinary assassin can do. At least it can make the chopsticks on the table rise by itself when they don’t touch anything, Qin Xiao Knowing that this can only be caused by internal force.
Space control objects, this of course requires a very deep internal force.
Qin Xiao already understood at this time that Xia Houning planned to kill herself tonight, but someone else wanted to assassinate Xia Houning at the dinner tonight. While the praying mantis was hunting the cicadas, they didn't know that the oriole was behind him.
Qiao Ruixin's face was pale, her body stiffened, she slowly stood up, and walked over mechanically, looking at Xia Houning lying in a pool of blood, she couldn't believe it.
Xia Houning's body finally stopped twitching, Qin Xiao raised his head and stared at Qiao Ruixin with a grim expression: "Master Hou is dead. General Qiao, what are you waiting for? Haven't ordered the soldiers and horses to surround the triplex building. ?"
