Chapter 289
As the night banquet was approaching, King Breguet picked up his wine glass and brought three rounds of wine. His face was already a little drunk and shaking, and he was about to go to the backyard to rest.
As soon as I reached the door, a sudden change occurred.
A maid holding a wine tray scolded, "The dog thief will die!" He pulled out a dagger from under the wine tray and stabbed him suddenly in the chest.
Nothing is on guard.
King Breguet was shocked and grabbed a guard next to him, pushed the woman, and hit the dagger. The guard died on the spot, but bought a little time for King Breguet. Lu Fanren arrived immediately and slashed him with a knife.
Breguet's kingly way, "Leave a living mouth!"
The long sword was about to cut the woman in half. When Lu Fanren heard this, he crossed the blade and knocked the woman to the ground with the back of the knife. The female assassin was hit hard in the chest, and with a bang, he hit a pillar and screamed in pain.
Immediately, several guards arrested the woman.
These happened in the flash of lightning. When everyone realized that the assassin had been subdued. The woman was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate figure, beautiful eyebrows and a stubborn look in her eyes.
"Dog thief, kill me!"
King Breguet looked at her up and down, "You are a girl, you don't stay at home, but you learn to do this assassination. I was assassinated ninety-nine times in my life, and no one has ever succeeded!"
The female assassin spat and cursed, "This is a matter for you!"
Bang!
Lu Fanren was responsible for the guards of the mansion. An assassin mingled into the mansion. As the leader, he was so angry that he stepped forward that he slapped him. The female assassin was not struggling, and his face turned red and swollen on the spot, and blood was left along the corner of his mouth. The woman licked the blood in the corner of her mouth, and the flames of hatred were shot out from her eyes.
King Breguet asked, "Who instructs you? Tell me, I will let you live a life!"
The female assassin cursed, "You thief, you are doing something wrong. The evil you do is too numerous to write. Everyone can kill him. Does anyone need someone to instruct him?"
King Breguet saw the assassin's little finger flushing with his right little finger, "So you are a descendant of the Blood Clothing Clan!"
When the female assassin saw that he had discovered his identity, he no longer covered it up, "Yes, dog thief, for your own selfishness, you snatched the treasures from our clan and killed the three thousand members of our blood-clothed tribe. I am here to ask for your life today!"
On the way Xiao Jinyan came, I heard from the Ali brothers that the entire Great Chu Dynasty had three royal courts, nine tribes, and dozens of small tribes, each tribe and tribe had its own characteristics. The Blood Clothing Clan was sparsely populated and had the weakest power in the Great Chu Dynasty, but she was proficient in the magical arts and was one of the oldest ethnic groups on the grassland, so Xiao Jinyan was deeply impressed by this.
The blood-clothed tribe's body has a characteristic, which is that the little finger of the right hand is red and blood-colored, which is caused by practicing the magical Gu technique. Half a year ago, the entire blood-clothed tribe was massacred and disappeared from the mainland since then.
King Breguet smiled and said, "So that's it. I am in a good mood today. If you don't kill you, you can go!"
The female assassin was stunned when she heard this, almost unbelievable to her ears. She came to assassinate King Breguet today, but she didn't think about going back alive. Unexpectedly, the assassination failed. This man neither killed himself nor tortured himself, and had to let himself go a long way. He was a little confused and stood there at a loss.
King Breguet sneered, "What, can you ask me to carry the sedan chair and invite you out?"
Seeing that the other person had no intention of taking action, the female assassin picked up the dagger, jumped up and fell a few times, and disappeared into the night.
King Breguet gave a wink, and Lu Fanren understood it and took a few subordinates to chase him out.
Xiao Jinyan thought to himself that King Breguet seemed reckless, but in fact he was scheming. This girl was not old and had low martial arts skills, but she could get into the vigilant palace. With her own strength, she would definitely not be able to do it. He deliberately let the assassin go. If the female assassin had little experience in the world, she would definitely be followed by the clues.
After the night banquet, as soon as Xiao Jinyan went out, someone came towards him. When he was wrong, he suddenly gave him a note and disappeared into the night.
When she returned to the Gubang Guild Hall, Xiao Jinyan opened the note and saw that it said, "Three hours at the age of the year, the Nansanlifang Wine Shop of Gubang Guild Hall, I hope to meet you!"
Unfamiliar fonts, no signature.
Xiao Jinyan had no acquaintances in Xijing. No one knew about coming here except the Gubang tribe. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he thought that if it was related to Yuwenshuang, wouldn't it delay the big thing? Thinking of this, he changed his clothes and arrived at Sanlifang at midnight.
When Xiao Jinyan saw the Li family's old wine shop, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. However, in the middle of the night, the wine shop was already closed. Xiao Jinyan thought about it and still went up to knock on the door.
An old man opened the door and Xiao Jinyan handed over the note. Seeing this, the old man gave Xiao Jinyan in, lit a candle, and said, "The guest sat for a while,? My master will arrive in a moment."
A boy presented fragrant tea, but Xiao Jinyan was not interested in tea. He looked at the wine shop and saw a jar of chishui wine piled in the corner, with his index finger moving.
Not long after, a man wearing a black cloak and a hat pushed the door through the backyard and said, "Xiao Jinyan!"
Xiao Jinyan said in surprise, "Two...Chu..."
The person who came was Chu Bieli, the emperor of the Great Chu State. Li Ergou, who had sold wine in the alleys of Suzhou, didn't know what to call him.
Having not seen each other for more than a year, Chu Bieli was pampered and had a little fat body and a much rounded face, but his expression was a little depressed, not as energetic as when he left Suzhou City. It seems that as Ali brothers said, this old friend who sold wine along the street and the current emperor of the Great Chu State did not live a very comfortable life.
When he saw Xiao Jinyan, he hugged Xiao Jinyan and said, "Brother!"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Brother Ergou, how did you know that I came to Xijing?"
Chu Bieli was about to retreat from his left and right, poured a pot of wine in person, filling the two of them. Xiao Jinyan drank the wine and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's true that the old taste of Suzhou City back then."
Chu Bieli said, "I brewed it myself."
"What?" Xiao Jinyan couldn't believe that he was a great emperor of Chu. He shouldn't have been busy with all his affairs and was working hard on the government. Why did he still brew wine here?
Chu Bieli said regretfully, "I was deceived by that bastard Breguet!"
He also drank the wine and continued, "Well, Breguet, I don't know how to get the news about Mr. Li and I in Suzhou, I encouraged my second brother to come and fight with Mr. Li and welcome me back to Xijing. Along the way, I was speechless. I was demented for many years, but I believed him. Once I returned to the capital, I started a rebellion and claimed to have died suddenly, and pushed me to the throne. Unexpectedly, his wolfish ambition was to let me sit in the capital and become a puppet. Alas!"
Xiao Jinyan has also heard some rumors, "Is the attack on the Ming Dynasty also his idea?"
"I was completely isolated in the capital. His former subordinate was pushed to Hengduan Mountain by him and sacrificed a knife to Zhao Langjiang. Now I am alone in the capital. His eyes are everywhere in the entire palace. Alas!"
"Then how did you come out?"
Chu Bieli said, "There is a secret passage in the palace. When I was the crown prince, my father told me that few people knew about it. I ordered people to build a wine shop here, which is considered as leaving a way out. Alas!"
When Xiao Jinyan saw every word he said, he sighed in his heart. He was originally a wine seller in Jiangnan, living a muddy life, and protecting the top five masters in the world. Isn’t it a pleasure? He insisted on coming back to trek into the muddy waters, but he got such a land. Why did he get it?
The two of them chatted for a while, and Xiao Jinyan asked, "How is Aunt Li...?"
When Chu Bieli left Suzhou, Widow Li also left with him, and it was already a year in a blink of an eye.
When Chu Bieli heard this, a cold look ejaculated in his eyes. His eyes were red and he said in a deep voice, "After coming to the capital, she was pregnant with my child. When she was about to give birth, she had an inexplicable strange disease and couldn't hold on. She passed."
Xiao Jinyan was shocked, "What?"
Chu Bieli said viciously, "It must be that guy Chu Baoji who interfered! Everyone in the palace, Breege arranged it. I suspect that he was the one who poisoned him, but there was no evidence."
When she was in Suzhou City, Widow Li sold vegetables on the streets. Her words were very mean, but she was a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart. Every time Xiao Jinyan had difficulties, she often came to help her. Unexpectedly, when she parted, she would part forever.
Xiao Jinyan was in a heavy mood. He picked up the wine pot and drank it all. After a long time, he asked, "Is there any evidence?"
Chu Bieli said, "No, even if there is, what can I do?" He sighed again, "Eight months later, she asked the imperial doctor to take her pulse. The imperial doctor said that she was pregnant with a male child, and after a few days, she would die of illness. Is it just a coincidence?"
Bang!
Xiao Jinyan smashed the table with one punch. Aunt Li and Li Ergou, both of them were old friends when he was in trouble, and he was a person who valued friendship. When he heard what Chu Bieli said, he felt murderous intent in his heart.
Seeing this, Chu Bieli said repeatedly, "Brother, don't be impulsive! I learned that you were here, but I just wanted to come out to see you and talk to you about the past. Don't do anything randomly."
Xiao Jinyan said regretfully, "If there is a chance, I will kill him."
Chu Bieli blocked him one after another, "Not to mention the guards in the royal palace, even if you can get close to him, you may not be his opponent."
"He knows martial arts?"
Chu Bieli said, "I don't know, but I heard that ten years ago, his martial arts skills had already entered the Tongxiang Realm, but it was just a rumor. No one had ever seen him take action."
Xiao Jinyan was frightened. At the night banquet today, he did not feel any internal force fluctuations in King Breguet. Then there were only two possibilities: one was that he could not do martial arts, and the other was that his realm was better than himself.
The two chatted for a while, and at this time, the old man pushed the door and entered, "Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace."
Chu Bieli said, "I took great risks when I came out this time. Chu Baoji monitored me very strictly. If I became suspicious, I might be worried about my life. And..."
Chu Bieli wanted to speak but stopped.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Brother Ergou, just say something."
Chu Bieli hesitated a little. After a moment, he seemed to make up his mind and whispered, "I'm going to hide it from you. I'm asking for something."
Xiao Jinyan asked, "What's the matter?"
Chu Bieli said, "This matter is related to the fate of my Great Chu State, and it has something to do with that mountain. I really can't think of anyone else who can do this, so please be sure to agree!"
After saying that, Chu Bieli stood up and knelt in front of Xiao Jinyan.
