Chapter 182 Assassination

Yun Yaru pulled out a soft sword from her belt next to Lord Zhao, blocking several men in black who wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate them.

Although this soft sword is not as good as the ancient sword that the system rewards her, it is very easy to carry and is not easily noticed.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rose up at the same time and came into the air.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yutang suddenly flipped and waved the black gold ancient sword in his hand and stabbed him directly at the man in black. The man in black wanted to use the long sword in his hand to stop Bai Yutang's behavior, but unexpectedly, he did not succeed, but instead made him take several steps back.

However, Zhan Zhao suddenly stepped on the long knife in the hand of one of the men in black, and then he couldn't react, so he kicked the man in black.

When the man in black retreated and wanted to fight back, Zhan Zhao turned around and slashed at another man in black with a sword, causing the man in black to suffer a minor injury.

Just as the man in black stood firm and wanted to fight back, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang attacked the man in black, making him unable to know how he died in the end.

Then the two of them pulled out their own Juque sword and the black gold ancient sword respectively. During this period, they turned around and attacked the remaining men in black.

Yun Yaru also quickly fought with the man in black, because she wanted to ensure the safety of Lord Zhao's family and faced the enemy at the same time, which forced her to use her mind. However, in this way, she felt that she seemed much more tired than focusing on dealing with the man in black.

If it weren't for Xuehua, Xueqiu had been helping her owner pay attention to her behind her, and she wouldn't know what would happen to her now.

Snowflakes grabbed the man in black who was approaching Yun Yaru. With the help of Snowflakes and Snowball, Yun Yaru no longer had to use it in one's own mind, because this would result in half the result with twice the effort.

With the addition of snowflakes, the action of the snowball increased a little faster, and did not allow the men in black to get close to Lord Zhao's family of three.

"careful."

Yun Yaru suddenly found a hidden weapon flying towards Zhao Zhijie, hesitating that she was fighting with a man in black and couldn't let go, so she could not spare her hands for the time being, so she had to speak to remind them.

Fortunately, the hidden weapon was shaken by snowflakes in the end, so no casualties were caused.

However, this incident scared Mrs. Zhao, making her already pale face turn paler.

"Master, who is it? Why did you kill Jie'er?" Mrs. Zhao still didn't think of why.

After all, Zhao Zhijie is their second son, not the eldest son. If it were the works of the concubines in the mansion, they should not have led the fire to the master.

Not to mention, if the last time the pleasure boat caught fire, if everyone hadn't jumped into the lake in time, maybe Mr. Shan and Mr. Li would have suffered, which would have no benefit to those concubines and those concubines.

Lord Zhao is indeed doubting whether it was done by the people in the court, but it is a bit different. After all, although he is the Minister of Shang, he is the Minister of Rites.

...

"Snowflakes, snowballs, you two continue to protect them, don't let any hidden weapons or darts approach them." Yun Yaru had no choice but to explain to them.

Snowball was a little unhappy. Since it came to the capital, it had not shown its abilities to its owner. It had just warmed up and wanted to withdraw them again. However, since the owner had spoken, it would still obediently execute it.

Seeing that things had been arranged and the person was half relaxed, Yun Yaru began to concentrate on dealing with these men in black.

These men in black had to explode their strongest attack power because when they received the mission, they did not have any information about Yun Yaru and the other two. Although their sudden appearance was beyond their expectations, it was reasonable.

As Yun Yaru joined, the pressure of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang decreased sharply. The two men collided with each other, which shocked countless flying sand and stones, making the whole scene even more dangerous. Neither side held back, but although Yun Yaru's number did not have the advantage, the attack power was not weak at all. Gradually, he still had the upper hand. In the end, the remaining men in black were wiped out at full speed.

"Sir, I have left two living sluts here." Bai Yutang pointed to the two men in black who vented more and had less breathing.

"I will take it back to Dali Temple to interrogate and see if I can find anything from it?" Yun Yaru thought for a while, but she turned her head and looked at Lord Zhao.

After all, the fire in the pleasure boat has been accepted by Dali Temple, and Lord Zhao did not object to the place where the two men in black went.

"Yun Si Cheng, can you please send someone to Zhao's mansion with us? I'm afraid that I will encounter a man in black on the way again." Lord Zhao glanced at the servants left around.

"Then I'll let Brother Zhan give you a ride."

"Snowflakes, snowballs, you two will continue."

They also knew that if the murderer didn't get caught for a day, they would have to stay near Zhao's mansion. Although they were a little reluctant, they eventually left with Zhan Zhao.

...

Seeing that Lord Zhao and his group had left, Yun Yaru squatted down and searched around the men in black, hoping to find some useful clues. However, her wish was finally dashed. In addition to the waist cards, the silver notes and the weapons they used.

"Brother Bai, do you know this waist card?" Yun Yaru said, throwing it at the direction where Bai Yutang is.

Bai Yutang looked at it, "I think this waist card should belong to a certain killer organization. But sir, if these two people don't ask, they will probably not be able to ask after a while."

Yun Yaru also knew the current situation of the two men in black and said coldly: "If you want to survive, tell me, who gave you money to assassinate the imperial officials?"

"This, you should know that the morality of Jianghu uses money to do things, and the rest is not within our considerations." One of the men in black shook their heads.

Just as the other man in black was about to say something, a slight sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the two men in black who had more breathing and less breathing arrived.

But Yun Yaru didn't find anyone else around, and looked in the direction where Bai Yutang was, noticing that she had no new discoveries.

"It seems that the man should have been hiding in the dark. Brother Bai, please tell me, will that man be the murderer we are looking for?"

"I guess that person is probably the murderer, but it is not necessarily the real murderer behind the scenes." Bai Yutang held his chin.

"Why do I think our every move is in the control of that person? This is really terrible. What is this person's purpose? Is it Mr. Zhao or Lord Zhao?" Yun Yaru couldn't help but look around again.

"Sir, why do you think their target is Lord Zhao rather than Mr. Zhao?" Bai Yutang was a little curious.

"The autumn examination is about to start, and as the Minister of Rites, Lord Zhao, he is in charge of this." Yun Yaru raised his eyebrows.

"Then if it is really as the Lord guessed, then the fire on the pleasure boat is likely to be targeted at Mr. Li, the most popular candidate for the top scorer. Mr. Zhao may have another enemy, who happened to be poisoned at that time, which made us find the wrong direction of detection." Bai Yutang analyzed.

"It's true that as Brother Bai said, it seems that we have to go and see that Mr. Li later. I don't want anything else to happen in the capital before the autumn examination. At that time, the emperor will punish our Dali Temple." Yun Yaru felt a little headache when she thought of those, but fortunately there was a tall man above her.

"It seems that today's matter, I'm afraid I'll have to talk to the temple minister Fei when I go back to Dali Temple later, otherwise it will be troublesome if the autumn examination is in trouble at that time." Yun Yaru murmured to herself.

...

Dali Temple.

"My temple minister Fei and the family of the Secretary Zhao were assassinated by a man in black. We simply went in time. The family was just a little scared and not injured." Yun Yaru nodded and said.

After saying that, Yun Yaru turned her head and signaled to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang handed the waist sign they had found from the man in black to Fei Yaoyi.

"This waist card..." Fei Yaoyi reached out and picked it up and looked carefully. "It should be the waist card of a killer organization in the martial arts world. They use money to do things and do not care whether the person being killed is a court official."

"At that time, the men in black said that they were collecting money to do things." Yun Yaru said.

"We suspect that this matter has something to do with the Qiu Examination. After all, Lord Zhao happened to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was in charge of the imperial examination.

There is another thing about the three people riding in the pleasure boat at that time, and that Young Master Li was also the most popular candidate for the No. 1 pick this time." Yun Yaru continued.

"Yun Sicheng, are you saying that someone may not want Li Yan to participate in this autumn examination? I can understand this. After all, if something happens to him, there will be one more powerful competitor when the exam begins.

But Zhao Shangshu was also a first-rank official. If something happened to him, he would not be able to bear the blame for assassinating an official in the court." Fei Yaoyi couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Sir, have people from other countries come to visit recently?" Bai Yutang asked.

"It shouldn't be. After all, every time I go to the morning court, I never heard the emperor say it." Fei Yaoyi shook his head without thinking.

"Then it's only Qiuwei. Apart from this reason, I can't think of anything else for the Minister of Rites, Lord Zhao." Bai Yutang held his chin.

"My dear Master, I would like to ask, what is the knowledge of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Shan? If they also participate in the autumn examination, will they pass?" Yun Yaru looked at Fei Yaoyi.

"If they both can pass the Qiuwei, they can also pass the Qiuwei, but Zhao Zhijie's knowledge is obviously higher than that of Danzijian." Fei Yaoyi thought for a while.

"So, if those three people fail to escape from the sea of ​​fire, then Qiu Jie will not lose one person, but three students who are about to enter the court. I will report this matter to the emperor after the morning court tomorrow." Fei Yaoyi said.

Seeing that there was nothing he had done, Yun Yaru and Bai Yutang retreated from the house.

...

"When we came back, we didn't see Brother Zhan. I wonder what she is now?" Yun Yaru was a little confused.

"I think something should have been delayed, right? But sir, you can guess now, what exactly are they targeting Lord Zhao?" Bai Yutang thought for a long time but couldn't imagine it.

"I don't know either." Yun Yaru waved her hand.

...

"At this time, someone dared to assassinate the imperial court official. I think he was afraid of his life. He was not afraid of his life." Mu Zehao was shocked when he heard the news. His hand holding the teacup couldn't help but exert force. The teacup was instantly crushed by him.

Han Lie noticed that his prince's hand broke a hole, and blood immediately flowed out, and hurried forward to stop the bleeding for his prince.

"This news is true?"

"It's true. If it weren't for Lord Yun, Zhan Hero, and Bai Shao Hero, Lord Zhao, Mr. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao would probably be in danger." Han Lie was shocked when he heard the news.

"It seems that mine can go into the palace to meet the emperor. If this matter is not handled well, something may happen to the autumn examination this time." Mu Zehao had a bad premonition.

"Prince, it's probably not good to enter the palace at this time?" Han Lie looked at his prince with some concern.
