The embroidered cloud curtain hung down, and the phoenix lanterns hung high up. The hall was brightly lit.
The Empress's gaze was frighteningly cold, and it created a chilling contrast with her exquisite jade-like cheeks.
There was a piece of paper on the throne.
A cold-blooded killer!
These simple words made Jiang Yanwan nervous, which was rare in her life.
Coincidentally, it was the time when Su Guan's reputation was at its peak.
The target was self-evident.
Xiao Wan 'er's face turned pale. The Emperor, who was usually calm and collected, was actually so frightened.
She believed her guess more and more.
His Majesty might really like the King of Wei.
Due to her status and her reserve, perhaps she was shy? In any case, he never dared to say it out loud, nor did he dare to show any traces.
But from the looks of it, whoever wanted to harm the King of Wei would have touched the Emperor's reverse scale!
The atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point.
"Get me a disguise."
An extremely cold voice rang out, as if it was covered in the frost of the twelfth lunar month.
" Yes…" Xiao Wan 'er quickly walked to the bedroom and took out a red sandalwood box from under the bed.
This letter was sent by the Emperor's master, who was also half of Xiao Wan 'er's master. She was a mysterious woman who was in her forties and still maintained the appearance of a young girl.
Twelve years ago, when his teacher passed by Jin Ling City, he happened to see the princess.
She was also there at that time. Unfortunately, her martial arts talent was poor and she did not have the chance to walk this path.
However, His Majesty was completely different. His talent could only be described as terrifying, even to the extent that his master was shocked.
Since then, the Emperor had been practicing martial arts in secret. The reason why he liked to go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the garden of the Prince of Wei's mansion was because the Emperor had spent six years practicing martial arts there.
After a while, Xiao Wan 'er tidied up her clothes. She wore a disguise mask and a cold purple sword that seemed to be forged from meteoric metal.
A thin mask covered her delicate cheeks, and her hair was tied up, covering her sparse bald head with a headgear.
The noble and elegant empress was nowhere to be seen. There was only an ugly man with a mole at the corner of his eye.
"Your Majesty, be careful." Xiao Wan 'er frowned, her eyes filled with worry.
Jiang Yanwan walked out of the main hall with hurried steps and left the Imperial City through another secret passage.
……
Under the night sky, Jin Ling City was completely silent. Only the intermittent sound of a zither could be heard from the railings of the Qinhuai River.
Coldblood had one hand behind his back and the other holding the horsetail whisk. He sped on the roof, looking exceptionally aloof under the moonlight.
In terms of marching and fighting on the battlefield, killers like them definitely couldn't do it. No matter how good their martial arts were, they couldn't shake an army.
But assassination?
That was his specialty!
He had also heard that the King of Wei was good at martial arts, but that bit of mediocre kung fu was only able to scare those who did not know the ropes or trash below Rank-4.
"How lonely it is to be invincible."
Coldblood shook his head, his figure a little lonely.
He had never failed once in the assassin industry, and he had the air of an invincible legend.
Da!
Like a drop of water on a sunny day, he jumped down from the restaurant and walked into the dark alley.
It didn't make any sound, so there wasn't even a dog barking.
He could already see the eaves of the King Wei Manor.
10,000 gold taels.
Fifty thousand taels of silver.
He was about to get it!
However, at this moment, his pupils constricted as if there was a knife on his back.
Boom!
In a split second, he turned into an ethereal shadow, his horsetail whisk scattering and striking down.
Boom!
The man dodged the attack easily. The horsetail whisk that was as light as a feather covered the big tree at the end of the alley, and the entrenched old roots were cut off with a bang.
One could imagine how terrifying the HuaJin power was.
"Same trade?"
Coldblood stopped in his tracks, his body tensed up like a bowstring, ready to launch a fatal blow at any moment.
His first thought was that his peers had also taken over the bounty, and the target of the assassination was the King of Wei.
"You dare to kill Su Guan?"
The color in Jiang Yanwan's eyes gradually froze. She looked at the black-robed man as if she was looking at a dead man.
The hoarse and bright voice was particularly awkward. Coldblood quickly understood that this person was pretending.
Could it be that he was an expert from the Royal Palace of Chu? Only an old fart like him could dodge his strongest attack.
Clang!
The cold sword was unsheathed, and the air in the alley turned cold. The cold light was like a sharp ice blade, stabbing straight at him with a destructive force.
Coldblood looked as if he was facing a great enemy. Such a majestic sword aura was simply unheard of. He hurriedly twisted his body and stomped on the wall, smashing the horsetail whisk down like a huge rock.
Puff!
Unfortunately, he was a step too late.
The afterimage didn't confuse the cold sword. The blade was unbelievably fast, almost as if it had predicted the attack and stabbed three feet away, accurately embedding itself into Coldblood's chest.
Coldblood's eyes widened as he stared at the gurgling blood.
He had never been defeated before. This was the first time he had failed, and he had to face death?
"Who ordered it?" Jiang Yanwan looked at him coldly.
" Hehe…" Coldblood kept vomiting blood, but he still adhered to the killer's code. He would not expose his employer's information when he was in a desperate situation.
He came here full of confidence, but he had to die in a foreign land. How sad was that?
Puff!
The sword shattered his internal organs and even his meridians. The five-star assassin fell to the ground with a loud bang, his breath disappearing.
Jiang Yanwan didn't want to touch the dirty corpse with her fingers, so she used her cold sword to lift up her clothes. The blood-stained money slip slipped down.
Two cards.
A silver note and a gold note.
The banknote was a symbol of the Chu Country, so it was very likely that the employer was within the Chu Country.
The corner of the gold note was engraved with Zhou Country's anti-counterfeit mark.
Unless it was the credibility of the Zhou Country's royal family, the assassin would not accept the amount of five thousand gold taels.
Then the employer was obvious.
Jiang Yanwan's eyes were as cold as ice. She turned around and left, disappearing into the night of Jin Ling City.
……
Hundreds of years old trees were destroyed, and the alley collapsed. The huge commotion woke up the nearby people.
The sound of horse hooves was like the wind and rain. The constables of the Jinling government rushed over one after another. Even the imperial guards of the Imperial City were mobilized.
One had to know that not far away was the Residence of King Wei!
A man dressed in white holding a lantern stood in the distance, looking at the devastated alley.
Su Guan's expression was calm, but he was at a loss.
He was certain that this short confrontation was targeted at him.
But who was the enemy?
Who was a friend?
There were two traces of a fight, one of which was nothing to be afraid of.
But the sword mark…
It was deeply embedded in the limestone road, and the ground cracked. One could imagine how powerful it was.
This made Su Guan feel a strong sense of fear.
If he were to fight the mysterious man with the sword, it was hard to say that he had a 50% chance of winning.
"Damn it, there are only so many experts?”Su Guan cursed in his heart, then walked back to his residence and continued to sleep.
He would deal with whatever came his way. Even if he was no match for them, he was confident that his life would be safe.
Walking along the hall corridor into the garden, two graceful figures stood in the middle of the lake pavilion.
"I heard that there are assassins nearby."
The noble and cold empress walked over with elegant steps. Her snow-white cheeks showed just the right amount of worry.
"Your Majesty, please return to the palace."
Su Guan was a little anxious. Another mysterious person had left. He was afraid that the proud Empress would suffer an undeserved disaster.
With Chu's foundation, the Imperial Palace definitely had a few experts from the inner court.
"Yes." Jiang Yanwan nodded her delicate chin and turned to walk into the depths of the bamboo forest.
In the darkness, the purple-robed figure smiled gently, and the corners of her lips curled into a beautiful arc.
Xiao Wan 'er almost couldn't hold it in anymore. Fortunately, she had been in court for a long time and had cultivated a calm state of mind. Otherwise, she would have laughed out loud on the spot.
Seeing the two of them leave, Su Guan strolled to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The lingering fragrance lingered.
The familiar fragrance calmed him down. After admiring the beautiful moonlight for a while, he went back to his room to sleep.
……
In a gorgeous pavilion.
Lu Changqing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He drank 28 cups of fragrant tea, but he could not calm down.
He wanted to see Su Qizi's head so badly that he was going crazy!
"Young Master is dead!"
"He's dead!"
Before the guard ran in, Lu Changqing heard his trembling and suppressed voice.
"What a scene!"
Lu Changqing clenched his fists tightly. The knot in his heart was instantly released, and a smile that he had not seen for a long time appeared on his face.
He was finally dead!
Her Majesty was the noble Violet of the Nine Heavens. She was so perfect that she was not someone that a lowly abandoned child could approach.
Since he had thoughts that he shouldn't have, the outcome would be sudden death!!
Insufferably arrogant on the battlefield?
He died on an ordinary night!
"You can really do whatever you want with money." Lu Changqing laughed heartily.
Only then did he notice his trusted aide standing at the door, his body trembling and his face pale.
"Hmm?" Lu Changqing looked at him disdainfully.
" The five-star cold-blooded killer is dead…" The trusted aide's lips moved with difficulty as he uttered the bad news.
Lu Changqing's pupils trembled, and he staggered backward. His expression became terrified, and there was no trace of grace left.
"Impossible!" He screamed.
"The royal guards are already collecting the corpses." The trusted aide trembled, afraid that the young master's anger would pour down on him.
Lu Changqing collapsed to the ground, his face twisted and twisted. He muttered,"
"Aren't you a five-star assassin?"
"Haven't you never lost before?"
" Hurry up and f * cking tell me!!"
