In the Heavens

Chapter 162 Assassination

The interests are touching. With the fermentation of the list, a trend of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" has emerged in the world.

Famous and decent people are afraid of losing face, but ordinary people in the world don't care. For a time, "robbery" and "kidnapping" prevailed.

Except for the emperor who was at the bottom of the list, and the powerful Shaolin Temple who were not harassed, all the other ranking members became the targets of harassment.

After several months of strengthening the Yang Family Fort in the middle of Shu, the Yang Family Courtyard is like a small city. The strong city wall has become their weapon against the retaliation of the Nine Faction Alliance.

But these same city walls isolated them from the world, and the members of the Yang family, who had not waited for reinforcements for a long time, were on the verge of collapse.

Seeing an old man walking tremblingly with a cane, the young man in charge of defense hastily stepped forward to help him and said, "Grandfather, why did you come in person?"

The old man said kindly: "Come and take a look while you have the opportunity now, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it in the future."

It can be seen that the old man is full of nostalgia for this place, and at the same time full of despair about the current situation.

With the development of the situation to this point, even if the Yang family survived this catastrophe, the future is doomed to be "bright".

Regardless of the kindness and kindness of the old man, in the past years, he has done many immoral things such as destroying his family.

The scene in front of him seemed to be the revenge of the Nine Factions Alliance, but it was actually the common push of all the enemies of the Yang family.

Yang Zheng hurriedly comforted him: "Grandfather, don't worry! A little turmoil can't break my Yang family. We will get back the humiliation today."

The old man shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day. The number of Xiangyong who escaped recently has increased a lot, right?"

Yang Zheng nodded with a gloomy expression. Looking at the heads hanging on the poles outside, you can tell that the Yang family has killed dozens of people in a row to establish their prestige in order to intimidate the army.

But this is still useless, and there are still an endless stream of people fleeing. Obviously, people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

The old man smiled slightly: "There is no need to be angry, those untouchables are just like that.

If you try to persuade them, they don't know what to say, and only with swords and axes can they recognize themselves.

Now is the time for employing people, so let's coax them with kindness and power for the time being. The future, there is no future! "

The sudden change in the old man's painting style surprised Yang Zheng. Before he could react, the old man continued:

"Pack up your things, I'll send you and Zhen'er and Huairen away tonight. I've already made arrangements. After you leave Sichuan, you will hide your names first.

If we survive this catastrophe, you will come back after the storm is over. If my Yang family is unfortunately destroyed, you guys will wait for an opportunity to rebuild.

I have other plans for revenge. You don't need to bear it, don't be smart! "

It is this sensitivity to the situation that the aristocratic family can stand for thousands of years. Finding that all the major families in the world are in trouble at the same time, the old man knows that the situation is going to be bad.

The enemies on the surface are already strong enough, but there is still a force secretly targeting them, and if they are not careful, they will be destroyed.

At a critical juncture, it is natural to prioritize preservation of inheritance. Anyway, similar things have been experienced in the past thousands of years.

...

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

A row of crossbow arrows shot out from the streets on both sides, and the originally bustling street became chaotic in an instant. Zhu Houzhao and his party also took advantage of the opportunity to mix into the fleeing crowd.

"There are assassins, quickly protect the emperor!"

I don't know if it's really stupid, or if I want to expose my whereabouts on purpose. With the shout of the guards, Zhu Houzhao and the others were immediately taken care of.

If it weren't for their unique skills, they might have been shot into sieves just after meeting each other.

Even so, several guards were injured. Including the guard who yelled just now, he has also entered the state of lying dead.

Die to defend the emperor, everything seems so normal. Anyone with a little brain knows that the man just now is definitely a "dead man".

In order to keep the secret and not expose the mastermind behind the scenes, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, he must die.

Fortunately, he escaped the rain of arrows, and before Zhu Houzhao and his party could breathe a sigh of relief, hundreds of masked assassins had already killed them.

The situation was urgent, and as the emperor Zhu Houzhao could only fight in person. It's a pity that what came aimed at him was not weapons, but hidden weapons all over the sky.

His strength is not worthy of the title of "Heavenly Sword", but Zhu Houzhao has enjoyed the treatment of "Heavenly Sword", and several top masters on the opposite side have already surrounded him.

Thrillingly dodged the hidden weapon and got a chance to breathe, Zhu Houzhao asked angrily: "Who are you, dare to assassinate me?"

It's been so long since the battle started, and no one from the Inspection Department, Shuntian Mansion, or Factory Guard has come over, which is obviously abnormal.

Being able to evade the eyes and ears of the factory guards and ambush so many assassins in the middle of the capital clearly showed the involvement of senior officials from the court.

The questioning was just to delay the time. Deep in his heart, Zhu Houzhao had already started to figure out how to get out.

An old man at the head sneered and said: "Mr. Faint, you are perverse, every day everyone gets it and punishes you.

Today next year will be your memorial day. If you know the current affairs, you can be arrested without a fight. For the sake of you being the emperor, we can still leave your whole body. "

Killing the king with great fanfare is no fun. Leaving out even the slightest word of wind will lead to endless disasters.

According to past historical experience and lessons, they are all pushing their hands secretly, and rarely go into battle shirtless.

Even now, they still hope that Zhu Houzhao died of "violent death" instead of being dismembered by knives.

It's a pity that there is no way. Zhu Houzhao is also a rare martial arts genius in the old Zhu family. Coupled with the huge resources owned by the emperor, his cultivation has already reached perfection.

It is almost impossible to assassinate a top expert in the palace. As a last resort, they could only lead the emperor to ambushes.

Seemingly thinking of something, Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "Do I have to die? I haven't lived enough, so I can't discuss it?"

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his sleeve, and the messy biochemical weapons inside had spewed out.

Lime powder, pepper powder, laxatives... you name it. The two unlucky guys who intercepted the hidden weapons with weapons were instantly hit.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhu Houzhao still fled to the courtyard on the right side of the street, playing a game of chasing and fleeing.

Seeing that the emperor was running away, the accompanying guards and eunuchs also abandoned their opponents one after another and chose to break out.

The leading old man hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, don't let them run away!"

This is the capital city, although arrangements have been made to transfer the personnel from the factory guard and inspection department, but this can only be delayed for a while.

Anyone who breaks out of the encirclement and reports the letter, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will arrive, and it is not certain who will kill who.

Their faces were torn apart, and if they failed to make meritorious deeds, they would face the emperor's crazy revenge next.

Zhu Houzhao, who fled in a hurry, was like a headless chicken at the moment, not knowing where to run.

The way back to the palace must be blocked, and the princes and ministers don't know who to trust. What's more, the chasing soldiers in the future are not something ordinary people can resist?

This is an example in front of him, the few houses he just passed by, all of them suffered indiscriminate disasters.

Looking at the plaque of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau in front of him, Zhu Houzhao rushed in decisively, ignoring the obstruction of the passers-by at the door.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of killing behind him, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was killing people to silence them.

For the sake of his own life, Zhu Houzhao still can't take care of so much. Now he can only hope that the bodyguards behind him will be more helpful and delay for a while so that he can find a hiding place.

Hearing the screams, Duan Tianshi, the chief escort who had just returned, immediately took people out to meet the enemy:

"Who are you? Why are you killing people in our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau? Are you trying to provoke our Northern Alliance?"

At a glance, he knew that Duan Tianshi was an old Jianghu, and while asking questions, he did not forget to declare his family background in order to deter people who came.

It's a pity that he met a bunch of regicides, even the emperor dared to assassinate, let alone a mere Northern Alliance.

There is no nonsense, just one word - kill.

In front of this group of killers, the low-level troopers are just delivering food. Even Duan Tianshi, the chief escort, only lasted less than ten moves in the hands of the old man in front before he lost his head.

The escort agency with hundreds of people actually only delayed for a moment. Zhu Houzhao, who was desperately running for his life, became even more ugly.

The wounds on his body have begun to change, which is obviously a sign of poisoning. If it weren't for his deep inner strength, he might have already lay down.

If the Escorts couldn't stand it, they turned to martial arts halls and gangs. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was familiar with the terrain in central Beijing and knew the distribution of people in the Jianghu.

In line with the principle that dead friends don't die poor people, Zhu Houzhao gave full play to the principle of cheating, and no matter which force it was, he rushed in with assassins.

Anyway, the matter of regicide cannot be exposed, and the assassin behind must take action to silence him, even if people in the world don't want to serve him as a human shield.

Starting from Zhenyuan Escort, followed by Feifeng Escort, Zhentian Martial Arts, Shaolin Martial Arts, Sanhe Gang, Yunshui Gang, Wuyue Escort...

The martial arts forces in Beijing and China have become the victims of the assassination case. Invisibly, Zhu Houzhao created a wave of hatred for the pursuers behind him.

There was such a big commotion, and even if the officials of the DPRK and China tried their best to cover up the news, they could not stop the spread of the news.

Looking at the ever-increasing number of soldiers and horses on the street, the pursuers also began to worry. Two fists are no match for four hands. Once surrounded by a large army, even martial arts masters will rush to the street.

What's more, there are many masters among the factory guards. If the chase continues like this, I don't know if they can catch up with Zhu Houzhao, anyway, they don't want to leave the capital alive.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao who broke into a rich man's compound again, a masked man in Tsing Yi asked among the assassins, "Brother Yuan, the matter has been leaked, what should we do now?"

The headed old man's face darkened, looking at the few assassins left, he said very coldly: "Withdraw!"

"After planting our Wandu Chuanxin powder and delaying it for such a long time, the venom has already spread all over the body. Zhu Houzhao is now a god and cannot be saved. There is no need to waste time on him.

Immediately mop up and destroy all traces. We killed a lot of people this time, and people in the Jianghu may also participate, so we must not leave any clues. "

There is no way, it is impossible for the forces of the rivers and lakes to gain a foothold in the capital like the capital without a backer.

Killing someone's younger brother for no reason is inevitable, causing the boss to pursue him. If any clues are left, the operation will be considered a failure.

The crime of killing the king is too great. Even if Zhu Houzhao is killed, it will not make up for the consequences of exposing his identity.

The aristocratic family is not a powerful family, and does not have the confidence to confront the imperial power head-on. Their strength is itself attached to the court.
