Chapter 284: Revenge (Part 2)

The general, carrying a simple knife, lazily looked at the snow in front of him, and hummed weakly: "Brothers, hurry up, you will be there in one day. The New Year's goods sent by the prince are not light. If Your Majesty is happy, the reward will be very heavy. If you can be promoted to a higher level, it will be a big profit." Although it is not very peaceful today, as a general of the vassal king, he still has no chance to go to war. Without military merit, the only opportunity to be promoted is to win the favor of his masters.

A cold voice came from the snow: "Little baby doesn't know how to do it, do you still want to be promoted and make a fortune? Grandpa, I will give you a position as an equal king. I don't know if you are interested." With these gloomy words, nine black clothes, one head taller than ordinary people, and their whole body was covered by black veil. The big man with two eyes slowly walked out from behind the dead trees on the side of the road and blocked the convoy.

The general became cold from the bottom of his heart. Aren’t these nine guys the assassin who broke into the royal palace and escaped without any hair under the siege of thousands of soldiers? Thinking that those generals with superb martial arts were beaten up by them, he was just a matchmaker, so the general’s body trembled involuntarily.

The extreme of fear is hysteria, and this stern general is howling like crazy: "Who are you?"

The leading man in black said gloomyly: "The eight behind me are my junior brothers, namely the Blood Dragon, Ghost Dragon, Demon Dragon, Demon Dragon, Monster Dragon, Evil Dragon, Yin Dragon, and Balong. Nine of our fellow brothers are ordered to lead our subordinates to be intimate and intimate with you." He let out a wild laugh like a yin wind, and slowly untied a giant bow from behind. It was a terrifying strong bow with a bow that was almost as thick as a human arm, and the bow was as thin as a little finger.

With an iron arrow as thick as a thumb, the man who claimed to be a dark dragon took a long breath, pulled out the giant bow, and then shot out an arrow. A shrill sound of "woosh" was made in the air, and fifteen cavalry were pierced through the side general. The iron arrow flashing with black light penetrated into the chest of the last cavalry and exploded, like a shell, shattering the three nearby cavalry. The power of one arrow completely colded the minds of the five hundred guards.

The snow was disturbed everywhere, and more than 300 men in black stood up from the cave with strong bows in their hands. The sharp sound of breaking through the air continued to sound, and sharp arrows penetrated the bodies of the guards, and blood dyed the snow red. Gradually, the foothold of the convoy was already red. All the creatures in the convoy were killed, including the coachman and horses.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and a convoy was coming quickly. The man in black brought Zhu Yu's tribute and whistled away in an instant. Fifty men in black were left at the scene. They slapped the guards and the coachman hard on the necks. After believing that all the people were dead, they drove all the carriages together, threw the body in, and burned them clean. "Now, you can be sure that there is no living... The master always wants us to act carefully, but the living cannot be left. Although the only one leaked is the name of the master and the others, the fewer people know, the better!"

In the palace, Zhu Di was furious. He called Lu Feng, Zhang Yu and others in. A scolding made Lu Feng and other military officials unable to raise their heads. "The general under King Gaoyang was assassinated. In broad daylight, the assassin entered the palace, extremely arrogant. This is still worth forgiven. Just outside Yingtian Prefecture, the convoy of King Gaoyang tribute was attacked, but you didn't even have any wind?" Zhu Di shouted: "You didn't have any wind or preparation at all. Five hundred guards, they easily died. Who was the killer? How many people did they dispatch? You don't know anything!"

The violent murderous aura surged in the fighting room. Zhu Di thumped the dragon case in front of him wildly and howled loudly: "Search me, kill all suspicious people, etc....Lu Feng, your Jinyiwei, check it out for me to see who was the one who took the action. Whether I am Zhu Yunwen's remaining party or the Yuanmeng Tartars, I will give me an explanation. Zhang Yu led the army to cast a net on all sides. I don't want such a thing again...General Manager Lu, dropped twelve immortals from the palace and went to the Gaoyang Palace. I am afraid that those killers will take the opportunity to be detrimental to Gaoyang."

After a while of madness, Zhu Di suddenly calmed down. He murmured to himself: "Old, second, who have you offended? But you are really useless. With tens of thousands of troops, you have been disturbed by several assassins. Your general is also considered a person with high martial arts skills, why was he defeated by the assassin so easily? Well, hateful, hateful! ... Issuing an imperial edict to order King Gaoyang to train troops immediately. If he is the leading general, he still cannot keep his own, is he embarrassing to stay in the world?"

Lu Feng drooped his head, looking dejected. He smiled in his heart: "Forget it, Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, and several other generals. You are considered a disaster in the fish pond. You were scolded by Your Majesty for no reason. But this is no wonder Lu Feng. The tributes sent by the Second Highness are extremely rich, and they just come to make up for my daily necessities... I pity you have no benefits at all, but you were scolded for nothing. I really feel wronged."

Zhu Di sat there without saying a word for a long time. He thought for a while before shouting: "Mr. Lu, go and draw an order. You all go down and dig three feet of the ground for me, and also find out the boundless untouchables for me. I want them to behead them all, and leave no grass. Let's go!"

Late that night, Ru Taisu was secretly introduced into the palace. Zhu Di did not let him kowtow and bow, and asked straight to the point: "Ru Qing family, you are a court official with both civil and military affairs, and extremely intelligent. I ask you, who did what King Gaoyang did? You can analyze it for me!"

Ru Taisu looked at the old eunuch Lu who was standing behind Zhu Di like a clay sculpture, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Analysis of clues, there is a 60% possibility that this incident was done by the Yuanmeng legacy party. King Gaoyang has not killed their tribes on the grassland. His Majesty had just returned from the Northern Expedition a few months ago. The Yuanmeng thieves did not have the courage to assassinate His Majesty, so they naturally went to deal with King Gaoyang. Especially the prince is a major general in the army. If something happened to him, it would be a big loss to the military strength of this dynasty."

After pausing, Ru Taisu lowered her head and whispered: "Is the other 30% possible? It is Zhu Yunwen's remaining party. These people hate Your Majesty deeply, but they have no courage to come to the palace to invade. Only King Gaoyang is the general who led his army to attack the palace city, and it is possible that they will vent their anger with him. However, Zhu Yunwen's remnants have been killed a lot, and they are afraid that they do not have such strong strength to do this. If they can openly attack Gaoyang's mansion in the daytime, such powerful force will be used in the Jingnan Battle."

He said very carefully, extremely cautiously: "Of course, there is another last possibility... I felt strange. According to the skills of those killers, I was afraid that at least half of the generals in the Gaoyang Palace could be killed. However, now, they were seriously injured, and no one was killed or disabled. This action was too scary. I thought that these assassins were mainly to establish their authority, so did they intend to kill anyone?"

"However, this matter is serious, and I dare not make random guesses. Especially the Gaoyang Palace is very vigilant and capable of implementing such a plan, the power should be extremely strong. But I can't think of anyone except Yuan Meng or Zhu Yunwen's remaining party, who can have such a powerful force?" Ru Taisu smiled and lowered her head humbly. Then a cold sweat immediately slipped along the bridge of his nose and continued to his chin, and then slowly slipped into his underwear.

Zhu Di's silent pressure made Ru Taisu feel very uncomfortable, but what made him even more uncomfortable was the gloomy and murderous gaze of the old eunuch Lu. Ru Taisu secretly complained in his heart: "My Your Majesty, can't you meet me alone?... If I say that the most suspicious one is Your Highness, wouldn't I offend the one behind you immediately? His adopted son is the one who is most valued and most capable subordinate!"

But Zhu Di didn't know that when he heard Ru Taisu's analysis, he nodded and said, "This is reasonable. Even if someone wants to fight with his second son, he can't collude with such powerful force. Hey, who is this person? What is his purpose? It's just that I'm confused." Zhu Xi has tens of thousands of soldiers in Beiping City, but there are no powerful generals under him. Lu Feng has many masters, but Zhu Di himself is also staring at Yingtian Mansion's every move. Lu Feng's men are honestly appearing in the city and not far away from Yingtian.

Zhu Di still suspected that Zhu Xi appointed Lu Feng, or that Lu Feng simply ordered his own order to retaliate against Zhu Yu, revenge for Zhu Yu's sending people to enter the capital in private. Zhu Di is not a fool, on the contrary, he is much smarter than countless people. He knew that Zhu Yu sent people to enter the capital, which greatly offended Zhu Xi and angered Zhu Xi and the group of people who followed Zhu Xi. However, there is no need to retaliate against Zhu Yu in such a harsh manner, right? Zhu Xi's subordinates do not have such powerful power to retaliate, right?

"Or, is it another person? Yuan Meng's people, dare they take the risk of letting the elite go deep into the Central Plains to assassinate? Zhu Yunwen's remaining party was afraid that they would not send out the killer move at hand without getting the news of their master. Zhu Di believed that these powerful assassins should be the killer move. So, who could it be? Could it be the third brother? He had most of the people from Cangfeng Castle. It is said that the old guy from Cangfeng Castle has also practiced to the realm of flying sword hurting people since he obtained the sword pill left by the sword immortal."

Well, it's worth considering, Zhu Di nodded gently. "I don't believe that the third brother has no desire to peek at the throne. He and the second brother are afraid that it's not reliable to join forces. Humph. Then he deliberately weakened the second brother's strength behind his back, but did not anger me. This is the best choice!"

Zhu Di's mind was like a boiling porridge. The more he thought about him, the more he felt that there were more people suspected, and the more he thought about him, the more he felt that everyone was suspected. Gradually, his face became serious again, and his face was full of murderous intent was covered with clouds. He said in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, the power of the spies is not enough, and he must strengthen the spies' supervision of the world. Jinyiwei, Dongchang, well, you must add more people. I don't want anything uncontrollable in the future!"

Ru Taisu sighed in her heart and dared not speak. Zhu Di continued: "In addition, I think this matter is suspicious. Although there is no evidence, Zhu Yunwen's remaining party cannot be separated. Well, I will clean up all the civil and military officials of the court again. If there is any suspicion of Zhu Yunwen's remnant party, I will clean up all of them."

The old eunuch Lu responded sharply. He glared at Ru Taisu fiercely, thinking in his heart: "Good boy, do you dare to say that my family Fengzi is suspected in front of the emperor? Humph, Ru Taisu, I can't cure you, my father-in-law, I'm writing the word Lu upside down... Well, Fengzi took action quickly this time, this child is really liked. He is quick, steady, and ruthless. It's true that my father-in-law has received my true teachings. Hey, where did he attract such a group of killers? Could it be that he was secretly trained behind his back? No matter him, he is powerful anyway, isn't it okay?"

Zhu Di sighed, and he raised his head with some difficulty, shook his head, "Hey, these evil boys, can't they let me feel relieved for a few days? I knew that the internal struggle was endless, but I didn't know that the knife outside was put on their necks. Alas! Ru Qing's family, you go down. Yuan Meng, Zhu Party... people in the court, hum, I understand." A crazy murderous intent flashed in Zhu Di's eyes: "The last possibility, and the most likely thing is that Yuan Meng's people colluded with Zhu Yunwen's remnant party, and had their own internal support in the court. Otherwise, how could they do this series of activities so neatly? Therefore, you must kill them, kill them to solve the problem."

Ru Taisu looked at Zhu Di in a daze, not knowing how he came to this complicated and strange conclusion. But he knew very well that the people in the Zhu family were all paranoid and were all killer, so he was too lazy to say that he would cause trouble. So he kowtowed slowly and bowed quickly, and quickly left the study room where the pressure was strong, which made him almost collapsed.

Zhu Di sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I thought he could have some clever insights, but who knew he had only such a little knowledge. Manager Lu, you talk about this..."

The old eunuch Lu laughed a few times, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, I dare not talk nonsense about this matter. If you want to know the clues, you should wait until Lu Feng, Zhang Yu and the others' investigation results come out. Hey, the second prince is the same. He killed countless people in the fiefdom, and he is afraid that he has made too many enemies. You must know that some people in the martial arts world do not care about the national laws and annoy them, and they dare to fight with others."

Zhu Di frowned, and he hugged his shoulder and whispered: "Well, the second brother is indeed nothing. Why did he kill so many people for no reason? Rebel bandits, hum, I can't fool me? Are all rebel bandits in each village?... But, the desperation in the world is really a problem. Go and tell Lu Feng, I'll give me a solution tomorrow. What should I do if the martial arts people in the world are disobedient?"

He said coldly: "I would rather kill them than fight back against me at any time. If you can't use it for me, then die!" After that, Zhu Di shook his sleeves, turned around and left.

Old Eunuch Lu quickly ordered a few eunuchs to follow, and he also walked behind Zhu Di with a few eunuchs. His face was full of strange smiles, but he thought with regret: "Feng Zi is quick to do it this time, but it's not cruel enough to do it. Lei Xiaotian and others, why do you leave their lives? Even if you don't kill them, you can just waste them. Alas, you still have to practice more. Leave them to your life and keep them to deal with us in the future?"

"Okay, my father-in-law, I'll come forward to clean up the front and ends. Well, these days, taking advantage of the bad mood of Your Majesty, I will put all the charges on the Second Prince's head, and say that he was trying to kill himself and caused trouble. Well, what Li Zhu said was that there were a few sects in the fiefdom of Your Highness, and that his private salt could not be taken away? Alas, it was just right for Feng Zi to blame the martial arts people, and he said that it might be theirs. If they kill them all, it would be peaceful."

For a moment, Zhu Di and the old eunuch Lu walked into the deep palace step by step.

In the secret headquarters of the Jinyiwei outside the city, Lu Feng was lying on the chair, watching Shui Yuanzi bring Bai Xiaoyi and others to count the robbed tributes there. Shui Yuanzi grabbed a piece of bright yellow satin and asked unfortunately: "Boy, is this thing really going to be destroyed? Why is yellow the color of the emperor, and the people can't wear it?"

Lu Feng said helplessly: "It's better to destroy it, otherwise it will cause trouble if you put it here sooner or later. Except for gold, silver and various jewelry, these tributes can be used, other porcelain, silk, etc. have royal symbols, and no one dares to take over it... Bai Xiaoyi, except for gold, silver and jewelry, everything else is destroyed. If one of this thing flows out, I, Lu Feng, will have to go up the mountain to be a bandit. Then no one will live a good life." Lu Feng secretly winked, Bai Xiaoyi nodded, indicating that he would not let Shui Yuanzi do anything.

He walked out of the secret room quickly, and Lu Feng looked at the nine people in the dark dragon lined up in front of him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work this time. Well, but don't be too relaxed. The emperor of this year will not let me live a good life. You should work harder too. Go down and withdraw a sum of money first. You will take your brothers to the second prince's fiefdom to celebrate the New Year. Well, cooperate with the people from the Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate all the affairs of the second prince and find out the evidence for me."

After a pause, Lu Feng said in a low voice: "But there are masters of cultivation around him. Remember to be careful when you act. Well, by the way, send your capable masters to Chengdu to monitor Huaneng. Anyone who comes into contact with him, as long as the Second Prince, will be killed afterwards... I will write down every word and action of Huaneng."

Seeing that Lu Feng had no orders, Minglong and others nodded, turned into a phantom and flashed out.
