Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 466 Serious Case

Even Ji Wuxing's personal followers didn't have time. Some people rushed forward bravely to block the arrow, but in the end they were a beat too late. The arrow exceeds the speed of sound, and by the time you hear the sound of the string and act again, it is actually too late.

Ji Wuxing summoned up his divine power, and the divine light all over his body burst out. With a "boom", the huge tiger weighing a thousand kilograms was shaken to pieces by him. At the same time, the majestic body-protecting energy was condensed into one point, trying to kill the arrow. sagittal offset.

The penetrating power of the arrow was beyond his imagination. Even with all his strength, it was only slightly deflected, and the point of impact was still at his throat.

Ji Wuxing tried his best to dodge, but he knew that his body skills could not keep up with the speed of the arrow, so he secretly said that his life was at risk.

Everything was just a flash of lightning, but a delicate hand poked out of the air behind Ji Wuxing and viciously pulled him away a little.

A little bit of life saving.

The arrow penetrated his shoulder and brought up a rain of blood. Ji Wuxing was sent flying by the terrifying impact and hit the ground several feet away. The meridians all over the body were in great pain as the zhenqi flowed wildly.

He reluctantly turned his head and saw a short-haired woman wearing a palace maid's costume, panting and leaning on one knee with lingering fear.

Ye Guying was also dripping with cold sweat. They divided their forces. Wei Ye did not leave the city. He and Zhuo Qingqing led a group of demon girls in the city to secretly stare at Ji Wuli's mansion. And she and Xia Wenxuan followed Ji Wuxing out, and they had just arrived here. They had barely taken a few breaths when they suddenly encountered this assassination.

Fortunately, I have been an assassin since I was a child, so I am extremely alert in this regard and have already become an expert. The reaction far exceeded that of Ji Wuxing and his personal entourage, who had been enjoying themselves in the capital for a long time. Only then did they have time to react.

Otherwise, Ji Wuxing will have no choice but to collect the body...

A sword flashed in the distance, and Xia Wenxuan had already locked onto the assassin's location.

Ye Guying breathed a sigh of relief. If Xia Wenxuan takes action, the assassin will probably not be able to escape. It depends on whether he will be hacked to death or captured alive. Ji Wuxing is not dead, so the mission can be regarded as saved, otherwise... emmm, the commission has been deducted long ago, what kind of penalty must be paid to offset it? What a tragedy.

Ji Wuxing's personal followers rushed forward to treat his wounds and stop the bleeding. Ji Wuxing barely supported half of his body and thanked in a low voice: "Thank you... Master Wuhen Taoist?"

"I'm just following the orders of Alliance Leader Xue." Ye Guying disappeared indifferently: "Fortunately, it's good that Prince Tang is not dead."

What do you mean it's fine if you're not dead... Ji Wuxing was almost pissed off by these words even if he wasn't dead. Who is this person sent by Xue Mu?

But then again...the brothers were fighting against each other, and when it got to the point of assassinating someone, it was this "brother-in-law-to-be" who saved him. Ji Wuxing sighed, closed his eyes and healed his wounds on the spot, without even asking what was going on with the sword light over there.

…

The assassin is dead. Being targeted by a strong man of Xia Wenxuan's level, Wei Dongxu really had no need to resist, so he wiped his neck and pulled him down.

So he really wiped his neck.

Before Xia Wenxuan's sword could hit him, the assassin cut off his own meridians and committed suicide, which was extremely cruel. Xia Wenxuan looked at the corpse in silence, feeling a little solemn.

There are so many ruthless people in the Demon Sect who don't take their lives seriously, it's really common. For example, if Ye Guying fails in her assassination and is captured, she will definitely commit suicide faster than this archer. But the problem is that this archer is not a member of the Demon Sect, but a dead soldier of a certain prince himself.

A dead warrior who can reach the late stage of Taoism by practicing special martial arts!

When a dead soldier has been trained to this point, it cannot be achieved simply by bribery or the like. It must be an extremely long-term training, with an extremely strict system for long-term polishing, and a lot of resources, techniques, etc., added to it. The personality charm of the owner and other aspects can be achieved. He, Xia Wenxuan, has been hiding in the capital for a long time. I really can't see any prince with such a background. If it is really Ji Wuli's, he is really well hidden.

Xia Wenxuan shook his head and didn't bother to think about it. The prince's fight for the throne was none of his business. He stayed in the capital just because he was annoyed that he had been blamed for "frightening and paralyzing Ji Qingyuan", which coincided with what Xue Mu was investigating, so he cooperated. As for Liu Wanxi and Xue Mu... To be honest, I was jealous, but I really didn't harbor it. On the contrary, I thought it was fine, as long as she was happy.

Xia Wenxuan picked up the archer's body and flew back to the city. He knew that the capital was going to explode that night.

…

The king of Tang was assassinated and was rescued by Xue Mu's secret guards. When he was sent back to the mansion, he had completely fainted. The medical sage Chen Qianzhen made a personal diagnosis and concluded that the bones of the right shoulder were completely broken. This was okay, as Yaowanggu's masterful hands ensured that no hidden dangers were left. However, the internal organs in the body were almost shattered by the true energy. This could be fatal and must be done immediately. Treatment saves life, but it is too late.

In other words, it was fortunate that Chen Qianzhen and Xiao Qingwu's master and apprentice were in Beijing, otherwise Ji Wuxing would probably have died from his injuries... This assassin's arrow was a desperate attempt to kill Ji Wuxing with all his strength.

The archer's body was taken to the six doors. With the body present, the clues were not difficult to find, and they were quickly identified. This was really the guard of Yi Wang Ji Wuli.

The capital really exploded.

The brothers quarreled, but after a small conflict at the banquet, King Yi went so crazy that he sent his own bodyguard to kill his own brother!

This kind of crazy thing happened in the Demon Sect, but it actually happened in the royal family, and the mastermind was the Righteous King who was supported by all the righteous sects! Naked irony.

Xia Houdi, who was furious, led a team to kick open Ji Wuli's Yiwang Mansion, and personally captured the second brother back to Liumen for questioning.

There were many people present at the same time... Eunuch Li, Su Duancheng, the three sect masters, Xuan Zhe, and several important officials of second rank or above in the dynasty, which was equivalent to an overnight court trial.

Even Liu Wanxi came and sat behind the door to listen - she was asked to listen by the furious Ji Qingyuan after she reported it to Ji Qingyuan.

The seriousness of the incident is evident.

Xue Mu was also there. He changed into the official uniform of the Six-Door Gold Medal Headhunter and listened to the trial as the Six-Door.

"This is my personal guard, yes." Ji Wuli's lips trembled: "But he was not sent by me!"

"Where was the person who assassinated Marquis Chang Xin?" Xia Houdi slapped the arrows on the table fiercely: "Valley Master Zheng has identified the materials of the two arrows and they are exactly the same as the cast ones; Wei Ye has identified the two arrows and they have the same true energy residue. ! This is the same person who assassinated Marquis Chang Xin! Are you trying to say that you didn’t know anything about it and that he did it all behind his back?"

The ministers also shook their heads. This could not be explained at all. Even if this personal guard saw his master being humiliated this time, he would be unhappy and run to assassinate the King of Tang. But why did a guard who was guarding him run to kill Xue Mu in the first place? If not you, who could it be?

Or maybe it was you who ordered it last time, but not this time? Can you get by? No one is a fool.

"It's really not me this time!" Ji Wuli almost cried: "Last time he plotted to assassinate Xue Mu, I hid him and didn't show up. I didn't tell him anything recently!"

Xue Mu said lightly: "Did you really send him to kill me?"

Ji Wuli said: "It's him too! He was also the one who instigated Xue Mu to come to the capital and meet the King of Tang first, fearing that there might be some conspiracy... I was told by him a few words before I asked him to follow you! And I just asked him to follow you. You didn't let him assassinate him! He did it randomly and was banned by me..."

No one else could stand listening. As a personal guard, isn't it normal for him to report to you about Xue Mu's meeting with the King of Tang? What do you mean by letting people follow you? Isn't it obvious? Besides, if you really don’t mean it that way, it’s a serious crime for him to kill the lord of the court on his own initiative, so why don’t you just ban him?

How to wash this?

Originally, whether he assassinated Xue Mu or not is not the key to the case, but people will draw the conclusion from this, the same person, the same arrow, you sent it last time, how can you ignore it this time?

It almost means that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and there is nothing to try.

There may be many people applauding the killing of Xue Mu. But killing his younger brother...even the minister who was disgusted with Ji Wuxing could not support such a thing.

It's just the ultimate bastard.

There was deep pain and disappointment in Xia Houdi's eyes, and he whispered: "Xuanhou..."

Xuanzhe stepped out: "Here."

"Take him down and put him in the sky prison to wait for the father's death."

"It's not me! It's really not me!" Ji Wuli was dragged away by Xuan Zhe, still wailing: "I am the prince! You can't put me in a prison! I want to go back to my house, I want to see my father... "

The ministers were silent.

Xue Mu looked at the two arrows in trance, thoughtfully.
