Chapter 108 Assassination (2)(1/2)
solemn.
silence.
The day of worshiping heaven has finally arrived.
In this extremely solemn ceremony, ordinary people do not have this qualification, and even not many people in the empire have this qualification. Apart from the civil and military officials who can be present, the rest are the Ying family.
Everyone standing here maintains his or her own state.
Nothing can go wrong here.
In order to prevent accidents, the soldiers guarded the place tightly, for fear that an accident would disrupt the normal progress of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony.
"Let's get started!"
After glancing around, Ying Zheng cast a look at his eldest son, Master Fusu, indicating that the heaven-sacrifice ceremony had officially begun. After some prelude, as the master who presided over the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, Master Fusu naturally felt a feeling on his shoulders.
He took a deep breath and strode forward.
The scroll is unfolded.
Under the watchful eyes of all the civil and military officials, Prince Fusu came to the front of the cauldron and began to recite the formal memorial text with great vigor.
"Your Majesty, Haotian, has established me as a protector of the people, so that I can make a fortune, and the emperor ordered me to lead my education!"
As Young Master Fusu's loud voice spread, the eyes of everyone from the soldiers standing guard to the civil and military officials Li Si and others stopped at the back of Young Master Fusu. As the eldest son, Young Master
Everything about Fusu was performed perfectly.
In the eyes of many people, Prince Fusu is indeed the best successor.
Is such a person lucky or sad to have a father who pursues immortality? The entire empire knows about Ying Zheng's quest for immortality, and the Yin and Yang family has even mobilized their factions to do so.
turned into fact.
Is immortality real?
Many people are thinking about this matter.
But in the face of the emperor's great power, no one dared to raise this issue. Among the civil and military officials, since Han Fei's death, no one dared to resist Ying Zheng's imperial power, and no one could stop Ying Zheng.
thoughts.
Even if many people think that the matter of immortality is just nonsense and a conspiracy of the Yin Yang family, they don't have the courage to speak out against the Yin Yang family and Ying Zheng.
For them, their own lives are more important.
"Cherish the time and cherish the shade, sow hundreds of grains. Also obey your plowing, ten thousand dimensions of coupling."
"The square buds are square, the leaves are mud, and the fire is burning, so as to bring prosperity to the country."
What are others thinking? Young Master Fusu doesn't know. At this moment, all his physical and mental attention is focused on the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. The ceremony he is responsible for does not allow for accidents. What's more, he is still responsible for Fusu.
It is self-evident that my father attaches great importance to reciting the inscription "Sacrifice to Heaven".
"It's time to come!"
The eighteenth prince Hu Hai, standing below, lowered his head and muttered to himself in a voice that could only be heard by himself.
However, in the middle of reciting the memorial inscription for Master Fusu, an accident happened.
Assassin, come.
"!!!"
Everyone could not help but be stunned by such a scene.
assassin?
"Escort!"
As the Prime Minister, Li Si exclaimed, which finally made many people who were stunned on the spot react. The assassins who attacked were all dressed as imperial soldiers, so being mixed in here also shows the seriousness of the matter.
How could it be?
Young Master Fusu, who was standing in front of the cauldron, was also astonished. Such a scene appeared in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony that he was responsible for. Before he could think of other things, the assassins dressed as imperial soldiers had already pounced on Ying Zheng who was standing on the high platform.
The young master Fusu, who was caught off guard for a moment, could only draw his sword to stop the assassin's assassination. The current situation no longer allowed Fusu to think about what happened. The only thing he wanted to do was to fight to the death to block the assassin's assassination, otherwise he would
I can't imagine what the final outcome will be.
It's a pity that Young Master Fusu is a three-legged cat in martial arts. Even if he tried desperately to block it, he still suffered serious injuries. If the assassin's ultimate target was not Ying Zheng, I'm afraid Young Master Fusu would have died by the sword.
under.
The poor kung fu and sword skills made Ying Zheng, who was standing on the high platform and watching everything happening below expressionlessly, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyebrows in an extremely subtle way.
Compared with the poor performance of the eldest son Fusu, the performance of the 18th prince Hu Hai is impressive.
One is old and the other is young.
The performances of Fusu and Hu Hai are very different.
In comparison, in the eyes of ordinary people, the performance of the eldest son Fusu is much worse. But in the eyes of Ying Zheng, who is standing on the high platform, he has his own thoughts. The chaotic scene below, in the eyes of Ying Zheng
In my eyes, it is just a beautiful scene.
Don't avoid or give in.
Standing like a rock.
Ying Zheng just stood there quietly. Even though the assassin had climbed onto the high platform and was almost in front of him, Ying Zheng's expression did not change at all.
He is waiting.
Ying Zheng worked so hard to put on such a scene, how could he be satisfied with just a few crappy assassins and crappy slogans? He just watched quietly as his eldest son Fusu was injured. The eighteenth prince Hu Hai, who was good at martial arts,
A scene of injury also appeared in front of him.
""
Just after the assassins finally climbed up to the high platform and surrounded Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng, who had remained silent, spoke up: "It's just you?"
"Of course they don't have enough!"
A cold voice came out fiercely, and a wave of water several feet high exploded below the high platform built by the water. A black figure jumped into the air from it. The man's sword was unsheathed in mid-air, and the long sword swept past.
, bringing up countless water splashes and shooting in the direction of Ying Zheng.
That surging force can be called a close-fitting shot from a powerful crossbow.
However, the moment these water arrows were shot out, they were blocked by several secret guards who had already climbed onto the high platform. However, the sword energy and the huge force carried by the water arrows were beyond everyone's expectations.
.Under the water arrows, they are densely packed.
In one blow, the Shadow Guards were injured a lot, and the assassins who were stunned by the sudden change suffered a fatal blow.
The water arrow passed through the body.
The colorful water arrows turned into blood under the sun, splashing a bloody mist on the high platform.
What's going on?
The 18th Prince Hu Hai, who was expressing satisfaction with the previous scene, was completely confused at this moment. The changes in front of him were completely inconsistent with the original arrangement. But then the 18th Prince Hu Hai also reacted.
, someone intervened. The situation in front of him has gone in an unknown direction, and it is no longer his decision.
Water waves fell all over the sky.
Suddenly, there was a roaring sound from the water below the high platform, and countless amounts of water vapor rose up.
Under the sunlight, an extremely beautiful rainbow appeared there.
As the mist cleared, the other party's figure was finally revealed.
One person, one sword.
Standing on the pillar, the other party just stared at Ying Zheng quietly, while his white hair kept flying under the energy.
"Weizhuang!"
The Imperial Prime Minister Li Si below was stunned when he saw the appearance of the visitor.
He never thought that the one who would show up here to assassinate Wei Zhuang was Ju San Liu Sha, even when he was in Songhai City. He and Zhang Han speculated that Ju San Liu Sha had betrayed the empire, but he never thought that the other party would betray him so much.
Completely, so decisively.
Li Si seemed to have remembered something, and was shocked. The appearance of Wei Zhuang also meant that the people gathered and dispersed from Quicksand were also here.
Looking around, Li Si found no trace of anyone else. It seemed that Wei Zhuang was the only one here. Based on his understanding of Wei Zhuang, things were definitely not that simple.
On the high platform.
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Weizhuang standing on the pillar, glanced at the assassin dressed as an imperial soldier who fell to the ground and died under the water arrow, and the injured Shadow Secret Guard, and then turned his attention to Wei Zhuang again.
village.
"I, sometimes I don't quite understand."
Without asking why the quicksands who were supposed to be part of the empire betrayed him, Ying Zheng just said in a strange tone: "Is the assassination so just and fair?"
"They are so."
"You are so."
To be continued...
