Chapter 028 Assassin
The two men spoke in low voices.
Yan You couldn't help but move closer to them.
"This is a badge. Someone will help you create an opportunity to sneak in." The maid handed the badge from her sleeve to the man and warned him, "Don't let my master be disappointed in you!"
"Qingnu, save it." The man took it with his hand, and said gently: "It's a rare opportunity like this. I just hope your master will succeed in his plan and don't forget us! Otherwise..."
There was a flash of deep and severe ruthlessness in the man's eyes.
The maid sneered, "You better get things done!"
The man snorted and laughed: "Of course."
The man's eyes were a dark mass, so dark that they seemed to be filled with a foul smell, and he seemed not to have blinked.
A sense of panic suddenly rose in the maid's heart, and she whispered, "I'll go get the clothes."
She turned and walked into the inner room.
The man standing there blinked rapidly, too fast to be seen clearly, as if a white mucous membrane covered his eyes for a moment.
Yan You saw the man quietly taking off his clothes, revealing his strong body. The light from the window fell softly on his fair body, like a baby's skin.
His face was extremely calm.
He calmly watched as his muscles slowly softened. It seemed as if something inside was coming out of his body. Something was constantly expanding, making the skin of his entire chest transparent and white.
Looking closely, it seemed to be filled with a sticky liquid with white foam rippling in it. Occasionally, as it shook, it seemed that one could see some black spots wriggling in it, as if they had life.
Yan You was stunned.
The spirit is greatly shocked.
From this moment on, the man suddenly underwent a strange change. His face was still tough, his body was still strong, but something was changing and being released. The moonlight falling on his eyebrows and eyes surprisingly brought out a bit of feminine softness.
He coughed lightly and covered his face with his big hands. His actions seemed to be exuding an extreme charm that made it difficult for people around him to look away.
“Bang—”
The man's sharp eyes swept over.
Yan You almost thought that he had accidentally stepped back and hit the wooden bench.
The palace maid bit her lip. She was so surprised that she accidentally knocked over the wooden stool.
She handed the clothes over with trembling hands. The extremely colorful dance costume passed over Yan You's head, and the bright ribbons swayed in front of Yan You's eyes.
There was a slight fear in the maid's voice: "Wait a while before you leave."
The man lowered his eyes slightly, showing some harmlessness: "Qingnu understands."
He turned sideways and watched the palace maid leave in a hurry, with a smile on his lips.
Then she slowly put on the dancer's costume.
The pale hands had purple veins and black spots. The dark green nails scratched across the bright ribbons of the dancer's costume, covering the veil and revealing a pair of eyes that seemed charming but not quite.
Qingnu reached out to tidy up her long hair and closed the door.
Yan You stared at the door thoughtfully.
All the bones in my body still ache.
He has just been released from confinement today.
Do you want to go and see what’s going on?
What is the purpose of that man named Qingnu?
Yan You sighed leisurely.
Why does this always happen to him?
He couldn't wait to return to the banquet hall.
The banquet was in full swing. On the open-air table, a team of dancers were spinning in circles, with colorful headbands spinning in the air.
There were musical instruments and strings, the aroma of wine and fish was plentiful, the sounds of laughter and conversation rose and fell, and black flags with gold borders fluttered in the air.
The majestic Qilin on the flag also danced together.
The Mei family is the head of the Zhongzhou Dynasty. It is rumored that their ancestor was the son of a Qilin, and all subsequent rulers have been blessed with the Qilin's luck.
Although the king cannot live forever, he can protect him from the harm of evil and crooked ways.
The Qilin's luck has more than one use. It can also assist officials in governing an area through the dynasty's official seals, and can also provide support for the Heavenly Supervisor who specializes in strange things.
It can be called a panacea, otherwise the Mei family would not have been able to dominate the four directions in Zhongzhou where demons and ghosts are rampant and establish the Zhongzhou Dynasty.
The Qilin Lord of this generation, the Emperor of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, was drinking with his ministers.
The flames crackled, as if in unison.
"Come on! My dear ministers, let's raise our glasses together!" The emperor's face was flushed and he raised his glass high.
The dishevelled ministers raised their glasses one after another: "We will obey the order of His Majesty!"
A cup of wine went down his throat.
The emperor looked at the princes and princesses around him and pointed at several dishes: "Xu Fang! Send these to my children!"
After saying this, he glanced at the Third Prince, a smile on his face: "Third Prince! Come here! Father has something delicious!"
All the princes and princesses paused, their eyes fell on the Third Prince, who smiled smugly, "Father! I'll be right here!"
The third prince winked at the second princess who was drinking tea, then trotted over and squatted in front of the emperor.
The emperor touched his third son's face with concern and asked: "Have you lost weight recently?"
"Of course! Father! You haven't sent me much food recently!" the third prince hinted.
The emperor did not respond, but picked up two pieces of food with his chopsticks and put them into the third prince's mouth.
The eldest princess glanced at the third prince with disgust.
As the eldest daughter, she had the support of aristocratic families and did her job well, so she should have had the best chance of inheriting the throne.
But later on, twins, the second and third princes, were born. Twins were such a good omen in the Zhongzhou Dynasty, and the emperor doted on the third prince so much.
All this made the two little brats uneasy, and they even dared to covet the throne!
If the beginning is not good, the others will follow suit. The fourth and fifth princes dared to confront her openly! They even dared to secretly frame her for the witchcraft case! They really don't know the difference between the old and the young!
The eldest princess took a sip of wine and felt angry.
The second princess suddenly stood up and said, "Father, my third brother can't stand any longer."
The emperor suddenly realized that the Third Prince was fat and strong, and he had not exercised for many years. He was sweating profusely after squatting for such a period of time. The emperor could not help but pause in feeding him, put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Your sister is right. It's my fault that I didn't notice it. Go back and sit down."
The Third Prince glared at the Second Princess angrily and walked back reluctantly. The Second Princess continued to sip her tea calmly.
Now it was the fifth prince's turn to speak up: "Father, I know that my eldest sister loves singing and dancing, so I specially found a stunning dancer for her."
"You are so thoughtful. No one knows your elder sister better than you." The emperor laughed, then took a sip of wine, glanced around the hall and asked, "Where is Xiaoliu?"
The eldest princess gritted her teeth. How dare the Fifth Prince, that bastard, openly say that she was addicted to romance.
The Sixth Prince was the same. He was not there at the critical moment, which was a harm to her! She had clearly arranged a position for him in the front, close to the emperor!
The eldest princess had beautiful features and a polite smile, like a noble lady: "Reporting to the emperor, it is too late. Xiaoliu is still a child and is feeling sleepy. He found a side hall and fell asleep."
The emperor nodded and asked no more questions, but his interest was obviously gone.
The hall was filled with flowers, and a line of brightly dressed dancers filed in, led by a tall woman.
The ministers who were competing in poetry suddenly stopped.
Wherever she led the way and wherever her clothes fluttered, the eyes of the court officials followed her.
The whole place was silent for a moment.
Even the emperor, who was drinking by himself, couldn't help but sit up straight.
The fifth prince was also confused, but he couldn't help wondering in his heart, is that dancer really that pretty? If he had known, he wouldn't have given it to his eldest sister! Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy it himself? He couldn't fool around with what his eldest sister gave him!
The slender hands play the pipa.
A brisk rhythm sounded and the dancers scattered like flowers.
The dancer in the center raised her eyes slightly.
The dancers' pipa sounds are long and melodious, and their dancing arms are as slender and smooth as Guanyin's hands. The whole dance is like fairies descending to the mortal world, floating in the air.
Under that slender and graceful figure, people's faces were all intoxicated.
A faint fragrance wafted from their dance.
The Queen Mother looked critical, but there was a hint of appreciation in her expression.
The Second Princess lowered her eyes slightly and took a sip of tea.
The third prince held his chin with his hand and couldn't take his eyes away.
The fourth prince and the fifth prince also remained silent.
"Protect His Majesty—"
Xu Fang's sharp voice was like a thunder!
Pull everyone out of their dream of gods and immortals.
Everyone looked carefully, but saw no flying goddess in the hall!
The man in the center suddenly vomited a mouthful of sticky liquid, which seemed to be endless. It started from his body and flowed all over the ground. The other dancers instantly collapsed like water and gathered into the liquid.
The transparent liquid seemed to have life, constantly jumping in front of everyone.
The black core was beating continuously along with the transparent creature, like a fish that had stepped onto dry land and was wriggling to adapt. The edge of the transparent mucus was constantly corroding the table surface.
A transparent worm suddenly jumped out of the transparent liquid and pounced on a man's face with a dark brain core. The unlucky man immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered!
Everyone panicked instantly.
The capital of Zhongzhou is patrolled and protected by the Heavenly Supervisor. The ministers are no longer those who served outside and needed to temper themselves because of the rampant evil spirits. Most of them have become good-for-nothings, and their legs tremble when they move. They can't even recite a poem or a holy word.
"I have a pen that is like a knife!" A white-haired old minister shouted, and an ink pen instantly turned into a blade. The old man's expression became extremely determined. The white blade-like light fell in front of the Fourth Prince, and a transparent worm was broken into two pieces.
The fourth prince was so frightened that he crawled behind the emperor.
“Hahahahaha, here I come—Mohu is out of the cage!”
A civil official and Confucian scholar shouted, and the dynasty's fortune deepened. He opened his chest, revealing an ink tattoo of an ink painting inside. The ink tattoo was a pattern of a tiger roaring in the mountains. Along with the roar, the ink tiger pounced out with bared fangs and claws, and its sharp claws swept away a dozen wriggling adult insects.
Tianshi Chen Yu suddenly pulled out several sharp blades from his spine, crossed Mo Hu and chopped towards Qing Nu who was vomiting worms in the center!
Some time ago, a big event happened in Wanggui Forest in the southeast of Zhongzhou. The ghost in the forest wanted to go to the capital for unknown reasons. The governors of the six surrounding prefectures were extremely worried. On the one hand, they tried their best to set up checkpoints to intercept it and said all kinds of nice things to persuade the ghost to go back, and on the other hand, they rushed to pass the news to Jiantiansi, the highest anti-ghost agency of the Zhongzhou Dynasty.
That ghost is no simple person. It is rumored that he is a ghost god who has lived from ancient times to the present day and is unfathomable. The disciples he taught are ghosts, monsters, and humans all over Zhongzhou. If he wants to overthrow the Mei Dynasty in Zhongzhou, he only needs to raise his arm and his disciples will be able to sniff the air and chop down the entire Zhongzhou and present themselves to their master.
Fortunately, he did not have much ill will towards Zhongzhou and just enjoyed teaching, so the two sides lived in peace.
Everyone in the Tianjian Division also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the Zhongzhou Dynasty is the descendant of Qilin, Qilin will certainly not stand idly by, but these two are of extraordinary personalities, and if they really fight, the world will be turned upside down, with countless lives lost and the land in ruins.
Although the relationship is friendly, the Heavenly Supervisor still cannot take the risk of letting Him come to the capital. Who knows what Gui is thinking? If He is interested, he may become hostile to the dynasty...
Tianshi didn't even dare to think about it! Dasi Ming took the core team to Wangguilin overnight to try to negotiate with the other party, leaving Shen Yu to guard the imperial city and blocking the news of their departure. But he never expected that there was a force that got the information from nowhere and took advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the palace!
"Bang--"
Chen Yu's blade quickly grew larger and wider in the air, the sharp blade light cut through the air and chopped Qing Nu's head.
Qingnu made strange gestures with his hands, his eyes widened and he didn't move. But when he felt the sound of breaking air above his head, he suddenly raised his head and spurted out a large amount of mucus at a very fast speed, mixed with snow-white foam!
Chen Yu's pupils widened, and he had no time to adjust his body. He ruthlessly endured the corrosive mucus. Several sharp blades fell on Qing Nu, but they could not chop her off, as if she was trapped in an endless swamp!
My hands feel light.
Shen Yu suddenly discovered that the blade that he had nurtured with his spine for many years was actually being eaten by something!
He immediately pulled back, and Qingnu gave him a weird smile.
Chen Yu staggered, his eyes blurred, he widened his eyes in disbelief, under the Qilin luck that could cure a hundred poisons, he was actually poisoned!
Before he could say anything more, the highest commander of the Tianjian Division fell to the ground, with blades scattered all over the ground.
Upon seeing this scene, the remaining astronomical officials immediately gathered around the emperor vigilantly.
Confrontation with Qingnu.
Screaming, gnawing, chaos everywhere.
A brocade boot fell to the ground. The wriggling transparent adult insects were about to get closer, but they felt an extremely overbearing and terrifying breath. They were startled and swam away, making way.
