The three assassins turned pale with fright and hurriedly escaped from the bedroom.
Their speed was so fast that it was impossible for Ying Zheng to kill them in the bedroom.
He chased after her and hung on a short distance away. He followed the three assassins to another part of the palace. He was very familiar with this place. It was the palace where Zhao Gao was.
Zhao Gaoguan was the commander of the Zhongche Mansion and the leader of the Network Assassins. He had the Six Sword Slaves by his side. From a small eunuch to the current Zhongche Prefectural Magistrate, it could be said that he had experienced many hardships.
The Network Assassins were the sharp blades in his hands, invincible.
The palace he was in was heavily guarded. Assassins were mostly hidden in dark corners and concealed their auras, making it extremely difficult to discover them.
Three assassins barged into the dimly lit room.
Ying Zheng's eyes were cold and sharp as he swaggered in through the main gate. The assassins hiding around him were all shocked. Why did the king come here so late at night? It was unbelievable. Moreover, they came behind these three people. Could it be that their actions had been exposed?
Before these assassins could figure it out, Ying Zheng pushed open the door and walked in.
Whoosh!
The moment he pushed open the door, a dim light flashed and an arrow whistled through the air.
In a flash, Ying Zheng reached out his hand and grabbed the sharp arrow. At first glance, the sharp arrow was shining with blue light. It was already poisoned.
"Zhao Gao, how dare you!"
Ying Zheng threw down the sharp arrow in his hand, making a tinkling sound in the middle of the night. He looked at Zhao Gao, who was holding a Miniature Crossbow in his hand. He was the one who had shot the arrow.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty would arrive so late at night. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me for not welcoming you.”
Zhao Gao was dressed in luxurious clothes. His face was thin, and his eyes were as sharp as a wolf in the forest at night. He was extremely terrifying.
He put away his crossbow and bowed. "I didn't know that it was the king who disturbed the emperor. Please punish me.”
This sentence was so clever that it was impossible to refute. Ying Zheng knew that he was a man with a deep mind, otherwise, he would not have sent the people from the Network Assassin Regiment to the palace tonight to probe.
"These three…"
Chi!
Before Ying Zheng could finish his sentence, Zhao Gao suddenly sprung up, and the crossbow appeared once again. Three beams of blue light flashed, and three sharp arrows pierced through the assassin's throat.
The assassin was attacked and immediately fell down. Blood flowed out of his neck and black blood flowed out of his mouth.
"What a terrifying poison!”
Ying Zheng was secretly surprised. If the arrow had hit him, he would not have been able to escape the same fate.
"Your Majesty, these three are assassins. They suddenly barged into this lowly subject's room. This lowly subject was about to capture them when Your Majesty appeared. I wonder what orders the king has for you to come so late at night?”
Zhao Gao was indeed ruthless, and his speed was unbelievably fast. He was also very good at hiding his killing intent, making it difficult to notice the signs of his attack.
The assassin's actions and words had completely sealed off Ying Zheng's path, pushing the responsibility to the three dead men.
But who was Ying Zheng? Tonight, Zhao Gao sent assassins to test the waters. Tomorrow, he would be able to poison the food. Who knew what this guy's goal was and what he wanted to do?
He didn't want a chess piece that he couldn't completely control.
"I believe I don't need to say much about the Network Assassin Group. From now on, this assassin group will be led by me. You order all the assassins of the Network Assassin Group to come here and hand over the authority.”
"Your Majesty, this…"
Zhao Gao had never expected that Ying Zheng would pull such a trick. It had only been a short time since they last met, but the King had already become a stranger to him.
He had painstakingly built up the Network Assassin Group. How could he just hand it over to someone else?
"Zhao Gao, how dare you disobey the imperial edict!"
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a cold light. A sword light flashed, and with a clang, a treasured sword was unsheathed, the tip of which was pointed at Zhao Gao's head.
Zhao Gao's heart tightened. This king probably came with ill intentions tonight.
"Your Majesty wants the command of the Network Assassins. I will naturally offer it to you. This is…" He slowly stood up and said.
Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly flashed. A few afterimages actually appeared around him, and his main body had already disappeared.
Ying Zheng felt a cold wind coming from his side. He tilted his head, and a sharp arrow had already pierced through his body. Only after it pierced through did a whistling sound appear.
Ding!
Another sharp arrow struck. Ying Zheng's sword slashed down, cutting the arrow in half, and took another step back.
Whoosh!
Zhao Gao suddenly moved from the side to the front of him, his hand forming a dragon claw. The faint blue light looked extremely strange under the dim light.
His fingernails were actually dipped in poison!
"It's over! Zhao Gao!"
Ying Zheng gave a low growl and activated the Art of Eternal Life. His body was as light as a swallow, and his movements were as swift as a rabbit. With a series of Mystic Steps, he reached Zhao Gao's side first, and struck down with his palm, aiming at his waist.
"What?" Zhao Gao's expression changed slightly. Why was the king faster than him? How was this possible?
Before he could think further, the palm had already hit him, sending him flying out of the room and landing in the courtyard outside.
When the surrounding assassins saw him fall out, they were all shocked and hurriedly rushed out from the shadows. There were dozens of them.
But there was someone who was faster than them, and that was Ying Zheng!
Before the assassins arrived, Ying Zheng suddenly rushed out of the room, as if a god of slaughter had descended. A terrifying killing intent filled the courtyard, causing people to feel a chill down their spine.
Swoosh!
Without any warning, the sword light flashed. Zhao Gao's eyes widened as his head flew up. He could even see his own body. It was a headless corpse!
"The Network Assassin Group will be under my control in the future! Who is not convinced?"
After killing Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng swept a cold glance at the assassins around him, his killing intent surging. The emperor's aura was released and unstoppable.
The group of assassins lost their courage and knelt down one after another.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
