Chapter 466: A Serious Case
Even Ji Wu Xing’s followers didn’t make it in time, some of them bravely lunged up to try and block the arrows, but they were ultimately a beat too slow. The arrows surpassed the speed of sound, and by the time they heard the strings and then moved, it was actually too late.
Ji Wuxing rose up with divine might, his body’s divine light exploded, and with a “boom”, the thousand-pound tiger was shaken into mincemeat, while at the same time, his majestic protective qi coalesced at one point, attempting to deflect the arrow.
The arrow’s penetrating power exceeded his imagination, and his best effort of qi energy only slightly deflected it by a hair’s breadth, with the landing point still at his throat.
Ji Wuxing tried his last effort to dodge, but he knew that his body skills could not keep up with the speed of the arrow, and he secretly said that his life was over.
Everything is only in the flash of lightning, but behind Ji Wuxing there is a delicate hand from the air out, viciously pulled him away a little bit.
Help a little bit.
The arrow pierced through his shoulder, bringing up a shower of blood, and Ji Wuxing’s entire body was carried up by the terrifying impact, smashing heavily on the ground several feet away. The meridians of his entire body were churned through as his true qi ran amok, and the pain was incomparable.
Barely turning his head to look, a short-haired woman dressed in the attire of a palace maid was panting and propped up on one knee to the side, her heart palpitating.
Ye Guying was also dripping with cold sweat. They were splitting up their troops, not leaving the city late at night, and Zhuo Qingqing with a group of demonesses were covertly keeping an eye on Ji Wuli’s mansion within the city. And she and Xia Wenxuan followed Ji Wuxing out, and only just arrived here, lurking not yet a few breaths it, suddenly encountered this assassination.
Fortunately, since childhood as an assassin, in this aspect of spiritual awareness is incomparable, has been able to. Reaction far more than in the capital has been pampered for a long time Ji Wuxing and his followers, which only had time to react a little.
Otherwise, it can only give Ji Wuxing to collect the corpse ……
Blade awnings stormed up in the distance, and Xia Wenxuan had already locked down where the assassin was.
Ye Guying let out a breath. With Xia Wenxuan’s hand, the assassin would most likely not be able to escape, depending on whether he was hacked to death or captured alive. Ji Wuxing did not die, the task is considered to be saved, otherwise ……emmm, the commission was deducted early, what penalty to suffer to offset? It is a tragedy.
Ji Wuxing’s followers swarmed up to him to heal his wounds and stop the bleeding. Ji Wuxing barely held up half of his body and thanked him in a low voice: “Thank you to this …… Traceless Dao highlander?”
“Just acting on the orders of Alliance Master Xue.” Ye Guying indifferently concealed his figure, “Fortunately, it’s good that King Tang didn’t die.”
What do you mean that it is good that he did not die …… Ji Wuxing did not die were almost exasperated by this, Xue Mu sent this what kind of person ah?
But then again …… brothers fight each other, to the point of assassination to kill people, to save their own or this “prospective brother-in-law”. Ji Wuxing sighed, closed his eyes on the ground to heal his wounds, did not even ask what is the situation of the knife light over there.
The assassin was dead. Being locked by a powerhouse of Xia Wenxuan’s caliber, the Undiscovered Voider really didn’t have much of a need to resist and wiped his own neck.
So he really wiped his neck.
Xia Wenxuan’s knife hadn’t even reached him, the assassin killed himself by severing his own meridians, ruthless and unparalleled. Xia Wenxuan looked at the corpse in silence, his mood was a bit gloomy.
Devil’s door does not take their own lives seriously ruthless people a lot to go, really commonplace. For example, if Ye Guying failed in her assassination and was recaptured, she would commit suicide faster than this archer. But the problem is, this archer is not a member of the Demon Sect, but just a certain prince’s own dead soldier.
A dead soldier who had cultivated special martial arts and still managed to reach the late stage of Dao-entry!
Dead soldiers cultivated to this point, it is not simple to buy and so on can be done, must be extremely long-term training, there is a very strict system of long-term polishing, there are a lot of resources and so on to pile up, coupled with the master’s charisma and so on all aspects, in order to reach. He Xia Wenxuan hidden in the capital also a long time, really can not see which prince has such a bottom, if it is really Ji Wu Li’s, this hide can be really tight.
Xia Wenxuan shook his head, also lazy to think more. The prince’s competition is none of his business, he stayed in the capital just because he was annoyed that he had taken the black pot of “paralyzing Ji Qingyuan”, which happened to coincide with what Xue Mu was investigating, so he cooperated with the investigation. As for Liu Wanxi with the Xue Mu …… honestly, jealousy is there, but really do not haunt, on the contrary, feel quite good, as long as she is happy not on it.
Xia Wenxuan picked up the body of the archer and swept back to the city. He knows that this night the capital is going to blow up.
King Tang was assassinated and was saved by Xue Mu’s secret guards, and when he was sent back to his residence, he had completely fainted. The medical saint Chen Qianzhen personally diagnosed, the conclusion is that the right shoulder bones are shattered, which is okay, under the wonderful hands of the Medicine King Valley to ensure that no hidden trouble; however, the body of the five viscera and six bowels were almost churned by the qi, which can be life-threatening, and must be treated immediately to save his life, the delay is not as good as it should be.
In other words, fortunately Chen Qianzhen Xiao Qingwu master and disciple in the capital, otherwise Ji Wuxing more than likely still have to be seriously injured and die …… This assassin an arrow, is a broken boat poured out all the strength, make sure to let Ji Wuxing die through.
The body of the archer was brought to Department Six, with the body in the case, the clues are not difficult to check, and soon locked, this is really the guards of the righteous king Ji Wu Li.
The capital really blew up.
Brothers fighting each other, but a small conflict at the banquet, the righteous king actually heartless to send his own guards to kill his own brother!
This kind of heartlessness thing, happened in the devil’s door even so, actually happened in the royal family, and the mastermind is the righteousness of the righteousness of the king supported by the various sects! Naked irony.
The furious Xiahou Di led the team to kick open Ji Wuli’s Yi Wang’s mansion, and personally caught the second brother back to Department Six for questioning.
At the same time there were many people present …… Eunuch Li, Su Duancheng, the three great patriarchs, Xuanzhe, and several important ministers above the second rank of the current dynasty, which is equivalent to a court trial overnight.
Even Liu Wanxi came and sat behind the door to listen – she was asked to listen by the furious Ji Qingyuan after reporting on him.
The severity of the incident was evident.
Xue Mu was also there, and he had changed into the official uniform of Department Six’s Gold Medal Constable to listen to the trial in his Department Six capacity.
“This is my personal guard right.” Ji Wuli’s lips were trembling, “But he wasn’t sent by me!”
“Where is the person who assassinated Marquis Changxin in the first place?” Xiahou Di viciously slapped the arrow on the table, “Lord Zheng Gu has appraised that the two arrows are made of the exact same material and casting; Curry Night has appraised that the two arrows have the same residue of true qi! This is the same person who assassinated Marquis Changxin in the first place! Are you trying to say that you didn’t know about it either, and that it was all done by him behind his master’s back?”
The ministers all shook their heads as well, this could not be explained at all. Even if this time it was this personal guard who saw his own master humiliated and ran off to assassinate the Tang King in his heart. But what’s the reason for a guard to go and kill Xue Mu in the first place? If you didn’t order it, who could it be?
Or maybe you ordered it last time, but not this time? Can you get away with it? No one is a fool.
“It really wasn’t me this time!” Ji Wuli was on the verge of crying, “Last time he plotted to assassinate Xue Mu, I hid him from him and didn’t show up, and I didn’t even tell him about the recent events!”
Xue Mu said indifferently, “Did you really send him to kill me?”
Ji Wuli said, “It was also him! It was also him who egged him on, saying that Xue Mu entered the capital and met the King of Tang first, fearing that there would be a conspiracy …… I was told a few words by him, and only then did I let him follow you! And I just let him follow you, did not let him assassinate ah! When he did it recklessly, he was grounded by me ……”
The others couldn’t listen anymore. Isn’t it normal for him, as a personal guard, to report to you about Xue Mu’s meeting with the Tang King? What do you mean by letting people follow, isn’t it obvious? Besides, if you really don’t mean it, killing a courtier on his own initiative is a felony, and you’re just going to ban him?
How can you wash your hands of this?
Originally, whether or not Xue Mu assassinated him is not the key to this case, but people will derive from this, the same person, the same arrow, last time it was you who sent it, this time how can you get away with it?
It’s almost as if the evidence is conclusive, and there’s nothing to try.
Kill Xue Mu, there may be a lot of people applauded. But killing the younger brother …… even the ministers who are more antipathetic to Ji Wuxing can t support this kind of thing.
Simply asshole to the extreme.
Xiahou Di hid deep pain and disappointment in his eyes and whispered, “Xuan Hou ……”
Xuan Zhe stepped out, “In.”
“Take him down and beat him into the Heavenly Prison, waiting for Father to be sentenced.”
“It’s not me! It really wasn’t me!” Ji Wuli was dragged all the way away by Xuan Zhe, still wailing, “I’m the prince! You can’t put me in the Heavenly Prison! I want to go back to my house, I want to see Father ……”
The courtiers were silent.
Xue Mu looked at the two arrows out of his mind, pondering.
