Chapter 32: Midnight Assassination
The king came out to show concern for Duan Chenhui when he saw that everyone was fine: "General, you have worked hard. I am glad that everyone is fine."
General Sun and the others all turned their heads to look at the king. The king looked at them with his hands behind his back without any embarrassment and said, "I have completed my incognito visit. Everyone go back and rest."
General Sun laughed grimly: "Indeed, let's go."
He Qing subconsciously walked over and pushed Duan Chenhui: "Those aliens did it on purpose."
"I just want to test it out..." Duan Chenhui looked at him and deliberately asked, "Is Mr. He's adventure group here?"
He Qing remained calm: "I'm currently working part-time as the king's special bodyguard, and I'm a bit short of money lately." Apart from himself, he only had Sun Tu, the unlucky koi, and the adventure group didn't exist at all.
"I see, so we are now partners." Duan Chenhui raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there were a lot of star coins in his gold card. What strange auction item did He Qing buy? Did he use up all of them?
"Indeed." He Qing nodded lightly.
General Sun, who was walking beside him, widened his eyes. When did Duan Chenhui meet such a beautiful woman? And she looked familiar...
The king thought that young people had so many tricks up their sleeves, but his incognito tour was indeed ruined. He was held on both sides by Duan Chenhui and General Sun and taken back to the guild hall.
He Qing and Duan Chenhui waved their hands. He wanted to stay with the king. After all, the king, as a Beta, really had little fighting power.
The king returned to his room and sat down with a sigh: "It's too difficult. The enemy is determined to destroy us." He turned around and asked He Qing, "What do you think?"
He Qing lowered his head and smiled: "Your Majesty should know the answer."
"You are a great young man. Sit down and have some tea." The king pointed to the opposite side, but someone didn't want him to rest. A guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, the king of the eight-legged tribe, the king of the starfish tribe, and the prince of the mermaid tribe invite your majesty to have lunch together."
The king stood up and smiled: "I was negligent. As the host, we should sincerely invite them to taste our seafood feast."
"Yes." The guard took the order and left.
The chief guard was also very angry: "They are causing trouble right after they arrive. This is really infuriating. Let's have a seafood meal with them!"
He Qing walked beside the chief guard and silently struck the wooden fish, gaining +1 merit.
Soon he saw the so-called king and prince. The eight-legged king showed his eight tentacles and suction cups freely and unrestrainedly. The starfish king had a five-pointed star head. Only the mermaid prince was relatively normal and was dressed elegantly.
But the mermaid prince looked up at him, and he felt the evil spirit, and the most normal thing turned out to be the most abnormal.
He Qing asked Sun Tu in a low voice: [It's a demon cultivator, do you recognize him? ]
Sun Tu glanced at the man and said, "I'm afraid he is a possessed person. If he doesn't show his true colors, who knows who he is? But you have to be careful. The most important thing is that you, a weak king, must not be invaded by the evil spirit."
[Yes.] He Qing nodded. He didn't expect to find the demon cultivator before the friendly match even started.
Their Beta King sat down with a smile: "I didn't expect you would come in person."
The eight-legged king Lan Zhang held the red wine in his tentacles and smiled: "Just in time, and for the sake of the friendship between our two countries."
"I happen to be free too." said the starfish head next to him.
"I'm here on behalf of my father." The mermaid prince smiled, but his eyes turned to He Qing, "I didn't expect that I would gain something."
He Qing looked straight ahead and listened to their pretentious and meaningless words with his head down. After a while, the food finally came up. He glanced down and saw that there were indeed octopus balls, braised fish, starfish and ginseng soup.
When the two kings saw the dishes, their faces changed. Only the mermaid prince remained calm. He picked up the knife and fork and ate the grilled fish with relish.
After the meal, the kings of the Eight-legged Tribe and the Starfish Tribe went back to rest with grim faces. He Qing also sent his own king back to his room. In the evening, He Qing prepared a talisman for his own king.
"What's the use of this?" asked the king, holding the triangular yellow paper talisman.
"It can make Your Majesty immune to all evil." He Qing said, "I hope Your Majesty will always carry it with you."
"Thank you, it looks good." The king hung the amulet around his waist and turned on the light screen.
He Qing saw Duan Chenhui and General Sun on the screen. The king said, "Send more people. If they get hurt here, it will be bad for us if the news gets out."
"Understood." General Sun nodded.
"But they really have nothing to do. If they have free time, they would spend more time on official business, which only causes trouble for us," the king added.
"..." Everyone was silent for a moment, and Duan Chenhui broke the silence, "Since everything is fine, Your Majesty should have a good rest."
"Well, you should have a good rest too." The king nodded reservedly.
He Qing looked at Duan Chenhui through the screen. In Duan Chenhui's opinion, his king might also be a troublemaker.
The king turned off the screen and said to He Qing, "You and the captain of the guards will take turns on duty."
He Qing smiled and said, "No, I can sit and rest."
The king looked at him and stopped persuading him. He turned around and took a shower, then went to the inner room to sleep. He Qing sat cross-legged on a cushion in the outer room and meditated.
The lights in the room dimmed, the guards around them breathed softly, and everyone was a little nervous.
At midnight, the guards took turns quietly, and He Qing suddenly opened his eyes.
Sun Tu shouted: [There is demonic energy!] As soon as he finished shouting, the guards around him fell to the ground.
He Qing hurried into the bedroom, and saw that his king was sleeping like a pig...
He stood beside the bed and turned to look at the window. There was a person floating outside. It was the mermaid prince.
"I didn't expect to meet a Buddhist practitioner here. It's really rare." The Mermaid Prince seemed to find it very interesting, with a smile on his face.
"What do you want to do by launching a sneak attack in the middle of the night?" He Qing said as he cast a barrier around the king.
The mermaid prince smashed the window with his palm. Alarms rang around him. He walked in, stepping on the glass. "Don't be nervous. I'm not interested in this ordinary person. I just want my things back."
He Qing frowned and remembered something: "Who are you?"
"Give me back Adam, the Zerg egg." The mermaid prince stretched out his hand.
"Infinite Rebirth Formation, this is a forbidden formation." He Qing stood in place, staring at him closely.
The mermaid prince shook his head with a weird smile on his face: "What do you know? This is Adam's choice." He paused, "If you don't give it to me, I will have to rob it."
"I will not easily hand it over to you, a demon cultivator." Seeing that he couldn't convince her, He Qing summoned his flying sword.
"There's really no point in talking to each other." The Mermaid Prince snapped his fingers, and a formation surrounded the entire room. He then drew out his flying sword and attacked He Qing.
At the same time, Duan Chenhui and others also rushed over, but they were stopped outside the barrier.
"What's going on! I can't open the door!"
"Destroy the gate!"
General Sun kicked forward, but was bounced back: "Is this the murderer's special ability?"
Duan Chenhui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the gate, then pulled out the huge sword from space: "Let me do it."
General Sun covered his shaken feet and said, "Be careful."
Duan Chenhui nodded, raised the Juque sword and chopped it down. He felt something being torn apart.
"Juque Sword?" The Mermaid Prince was a little surprised. He blocked He Qing's attack and retreated ten steps. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Let's talk about it in detail next time. Goodbye." After he said that, he jumped off the building.
He Qing ran to the window and looked down, and saw that the other person had returned to his room.
He Qing frowned.
Sun Tu said: [It seems that the formation has also dragged down his magic power. It is indeed a very powerful formation. ]
"What's going on? Is everyone okay?" The door was finally kicked open by General Sun.
"It's okay." He Qing turned around, "But the enemy ran away..." He thought about it, even if he said that it was the mermaid prince who did it, he had no evidence.
Duan Chenhui put away his sword and looked over. He Qing was standing by the window. The moonlight outside the window shone on his white hair, which seemed to be glowing, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
He walked over and bent down to pick up the hairband that had fallen off during the fight.
"I'm glad you're okay." Duan Chenhui handed over the hairband. "It seems we need to be more vigilant."
He Qing took the headband and tied her hair again: "Well, this is the only way."
Duan Chenhui looked at him suspiciously: "Is there anything you can't say?"
"No."
Duan Chenhui looked at him for a moment and didn't ask any more questions.
He Qing softened his expression and said, "Let's see how the king is doing." He removed the barrier around the king.
The king finally woke up. He got up, looked at the glass on the ground, shook his head and sighed: "The enemy is coming in full force."
General Sun stuck his head out of the window to check: "This is the 18th floor. The other party is indeed a top killer."
"I don't think he'll come again tonight." The captain of the guards supported the king, "Let's go to another place."
Everyone nodded, and they changed rooms. This time even General Sun stayed in the room. He Qing closed his eyes and rested, thinking about what happened tonight.
Sun Tu said: [As long as you carry the egg with you, the other party will not give up. They may even expose you and make you wanted nationwide. You can run away in advance.]
[It is indeed something that a demon cultivator could do.] He Qing nodded, [But I haven’t cured the general yet.]
[You don't owe him anything, it doesn't matter whether you treat him or not.] Sun Tu sneered, [And if he knew you were hiding Zerg eggs, he might arrest you.]
He Qing thought for a moment and said, "If this were known, it would probably be detrimental to the general's reputation."
[……] Sun Tu felt that he couldn't get along with He Qing, and he lay in the golden bell fiercely, [Forget it, be careful not to listen to the old man's advice or you will suffer the consequences. ]
He Qing picked up the Golden Bell Cover and shook it, and Sun Tu fell to the ground.
【Childish!】Sun Tu scolded him.
He Qing pursed her lips: [You slandered the general first.]
[I'm just telling the truth! He's a general of this empire, and he has a big family behind him. Guess whose side he will stand on?] Sun Tu angrily provoked them, [Don't cry in front of me after being stabbed in the back!]
[Amitabha.] He Qing felt that no matter what the result was, he would not feel much. [The donor was too resentful.]
Sun Tu sat cross-legged inside and gritted his teeth: [Then I will wait for you to save me? ]
He Qing fiddled with the Buddhist beads: [How about we make a bet? You just met the wrong person before.]
[Fuck... You mean my vision is too bad? Am I blind?]
[I didn’t say that…]
[Your eyes clearly mean this.]
He Qing closed his eyes silently: [No.]
[……] Sun Tu didn’t want to talk to him anymore. He felt that it would make him angry to death.
