MTL - Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms-Chapter 285 Gathering the Assassin of the Shadow Gate
Chapter 285 Collecting the Assassins of the Shadow Gate
In a flash, two or three days passed.
After that night banquet incident, everyone in the mission, including the Heijia Army, was extraordinarily energetic.
During this period, Emperor Chen still held banquets every night and invited all the missionaries to go.
Cheng Ling directly excused illness and refused, He Yanqing followed her example and called it illness, while the others, like Zou Wei and others, went to every banquet.
They also had reasons. Zou Wei said: "Master Cheng and Master He are just saying they are sick. After all, they are going to the country of Chen, and maybe they are not acclimatized. But we can't let everyone in the mission be acclimatized and sick, right? In Chen State, you must give Emperor Chen some face."
These words are irrefutable.
In addition, when Cheng Ling and others went to Chen Guo as envoys, in addition to delivering the national gift, they actually had another important task, which was to bring a princess of Chen Guo back to Wei Guo.
Marriage has been an important means of diplomatic relations between the two countries since ancient times.
Marrying Princess Chen to Wei Guo has already shown the goodwill between the two countries. At the same time, during this period, the mission will work with Chen Guo to discuss the basic framework of the mutual market between the two countries. These are the obvious tasks of the Wei Guo Mission staying in Chen Guo.
Then exchange and exchange the culture, people's livelihood, various characteristic products, advanced technology and so on on both sides.
To complete these tasks, it will take one or two months at the fastest, and three or five months at the slowest.
After such delays, when the Wei State Mission and Chen State settle the matter, the war between Wei State and Qi State may be settled.
This is the secret mission of the mission to Chen Guo. In fact, the open mission is used to cover the dark mission.
It's just that no matter what kind of task, it takes time, so Cheng Ling now has to wait and be steady.
He Yanqing was dissatisfied with Zou Wei, and said to Cheng Ling: "Brother Cheng, Zou Wei and others are so keen on Chen Emperor's night banquet, I'm afraid they will be confused by his wine and **** methods after a long time, shouldn't we stop it?"
He Yanqing is also a man himself, but he knows best what a man is. Regardless of how sanctimonious it looks on the surface, once you really break through a certain layer of boundaries, what is a gentleman is not a gentleman, but it becomes a layer of skin.
Emperor Chen is really good at playing. The king of a country is so lustful and shameless that he is shameless. Can people like Zou Wei resist the offensive of Emperor Chen?
Cheng Ling also has concerns about this, but not much. She just said to He Yanqing: "Then I have to trouble Brother He, and usually pay more attention to Master Zou."
When He Yanqing got this task, he was immediately refreshed, with a sense of responsibility, and immediately said: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention!"
Cheng Ling walked among the Heijia Army again.
The Black Armored Army is actually one of the Forbidden Army in the Imperial City of Wei State. The Thousand Black Armored Army assigned by Emperor Wei to **** the missionary mission is even more elite among the elite.
The thousand black armored troops have now become a powerful weapon in Cheng Ling's hands, and she actually attaches more importance to the black armored army than the officials in the mission.
The night was getting dark, Zou Wei and others went to the night banquet, Cheng Ling stood up against the moon, after the evening class, bathed and changed clothes, and went back to the room to rest.
The hotel has a large area, and the Black Armored Army patrols in shifts. He Yanqing lives in the courtyard on the other side, and Cheng Ling's side is extremely clean.
She sat on the bed to practice internal strength, activated the Bibo Heart Sutra, and moved the yin and yang energy in her body.
So suddenly and unexpectedly, all the sounds from the outside world were infinitely amplified in Cheng Ling's senses.
The footsteps of the Heijia army walking and patrolling, the rubbing sound of armor shaking, the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind, and the sounds of various summer night insects.
Insects chirping and the wind whistling. Suddenly, dark clouds drifted across the sky. In the sweltering summer night for a long time, the thin wind gradually turned into a strong wind, and the leaves flew from the ground to the sky. Boom!
There was a thunder in the distance, followed by the crackling of raindrops.
It's raining!
The rain in the summer night comes quickly, quickly, and fiercely.
Crackling, like broad beans bursting, smashing down from the sky.
It was in such an environment that a black shadow floated towards the wind like light smoke.
The pavilion is shaded by flowers and trees, and the corridors are winding. The black shadow floated amid the sound of rain, but in a moment it passed through the low wall of Cheng Ling's courtyard and floated under the window of her room.
The window was not completely closed, and the bottom was opened for ventilation.
The black shadow bent down under the window, took out a thin incense stick from his sleeve, lit it, and blew gently.
The curling smoke extended from the top of the incense stick and gradually spread into the entire room.
After half a quarter of an hour, the black shadow listened carefully to the movement in the room.
There is no movement in the room, only the sound of breathing, which seems to be nothing. Generally speaking, people who are comatose with traditional Chinese medicine should be like this!
Heiying didn't wait any longer. He stood up and came to the door of Cheng Ling's room. He stretched out his palm, exhaled his internal energy, the door was shaken open, and Heiying walked in quickly.
The layout of the room is not complicated. The black shadow walked around the square table in the middle, and was about to go to the bed to check the person on the bed, but a sword light burst out in front of him!
Cheng Ling jumped up from the bed and stabbed with a sword.
The sword came too fast, like a ray of light, pouring down the galaxy.
Black Shadow said in shock: "You..."
You have no traditional Chinese medicine!
But he didn't have time to say these words, Cheng Ling's sword stabbed over, and pierced Soi Ying's eyebrows with an irresistible gesture.
A red mark appeared between the eyebrows, but the sword energy penetrated Sombra's brain. The black shadow suddenly fell on his back, bang! He died in a fit of rage.
There were hurried footsteps outside, it was the soldiers of the Heijia Army who heard the movement and rushed over.
"Master Cheng!"
The scene here shocked the soldiers of the Black Armored Army. A school captain rushed to the door of Cheng Ling's room, saw the man in black lying on the ground, and immediately blurted out: "Assassin!"
After the word assassin was said, cold sweat broke out on the captain's forehead, and he said with palpitations: "Master Cheng, forgive me, I will fail my duty."
Actually let the assassin break into the room of the ambassador of the mission in the middle of the night. The black armored guards can be said to have seriously neglected their duties.
Cheng Ling said: "Check out the servants of Chen Guo who are in charge of buying, I'm afraid there is something wrong with these people."
The black armored guards guarded the entire hotel tightly. In Cheng Ling's view, at least this assassin should not have jumped over the wall and entered the hotel late at night. The black armored guards by the wall are not blind, one thousand black armored guards can't defend a mere hotel?
Therefore, it is most likely that the assassin had been lurking in the hotel earlier. In other words, there are assassins in the hotel, allowing them to sneak into the hotel early in a more open and honest way.
Then wait until midnight before performing the assassination.
Cheng Ling's words could be regarded as excuses for the Black Armored Guard. The school lieutenant named Zheng Liang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and expressed gratitude to Cheng Ling.
He apologized to Cheng Ling again, then led several black armored guards into Cheng Ling's room, and came to the corpse of the man in black.
The man in black is dead, and he died so simply, Zheng Liang said with some regret: "It's a pity that this man is dead, otherwise he could have tortured him."
Having said that, he still squatted down and groped for a while on the man in black.
Cheng Ling squatted down at the same time, reached out and touched the side of the man in black's forehead, and activated: harvesting technique!
