Chapter 258 Assassination
The great power of the Nine Dragons is indeed magical. The dragon breath he exhales makes the statue and soul more solid and pure.
He didn't understand what kind of power this was, but it was indeed useful to the soul and was a completely different power.
This power remains to be discovered.
But it doesn’t prevent him from starting to use it now, making the soul powerful and strong. If he continues to practice like this, will his soul become the Emperor’s Sword?
He couldn't help but imagine.
Early that morning, he was practicing hard. Yuan Ziyan entered the wooden house lightly and said softly: "Master, there is a Taoist priest from blue robe outside who came with the imperial edict."
"Come in?"
He knew who it was when he heard it. The last time he sent an order to send him a command to save Huo Tianfeng, he was the Taoist priest from the Imperial Heavenly Prison.
Come here at this time, nothing good will be done.
"He didn't come in." Yuan Ziyan said: "But he didn't leave either. He just stood outside the valley. He seemed to know there was a formation here, but he didn't know how to come in."
Li Chengkong pondered for a moment: "Your Highness can't sit still, right?"
"Your Highness asks you if you want to accept this order?" Yuan Ziyan said.
"Check it."
"yes."
She responded with a crisp voice and left in a drift.
After a moment, Dugu Shuming slowly walked into his wooden house, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance.
Li Chengkong sat cross-legged on the couch and opened his eyes.
Dugu Shuming took a short puddle, sat in front of the couch, and sighed.
Li Chengkong smiled.
Dugu Shuming said: "You should have guessed it."
"Um."
“When will you leave?”
"What if your Highness wants?"
"I really don't want to leave, so I can't stop it... Rather than doing this, it's better to have short pain than long pain. Let's go today."
"Your Highness, have you thought about it?" Li Chengkong looked at her blurry eyes and beautiful face, shook his head and said, "The next step is to reach the border. Once you reach the border, you will regret it."
"...Let's go." Dugu Shuming said slowly.
Li Chengkong nodded: "Okay!"
——
The guards left the valley, and after half an hour, they entered another valley, and after another half an hour, they entered another valley.
These valleys are all formations, which are much denser than the previous half-day period. This time it is too dense.
They all thought that Li Chengkong had put in his mighty effort, and the closer he got to the border, the more he tried his best to build a formation, just to avoid assassination.
Yuan Ziyan was very curious.
The dead eunuch was clearly in seclusion and hadn't come out to build the formation at all. Why did he build the formation by himself?
Really saw a ghost!
When he arrived at the valley ten miles away from the border, Li Chengkong stopped again and had no intention of continuing to move forward.
They saw the iron cavalry of Tiannan Pass coming and going, as fast as the wind and fire, over and over again, obviously looking for them.
Everyone was curious, why didn’t you enter Tiannan Pass directly, why did you make Tiannan Pass so difficult to find it?
One day later, Dugu Shuming couldn't help but come over to inquire.
"No hurry." Li Chengkong sat on the couch, opened his eyes and said slowly.
He has been immersed in cultivation and indulging in the rapid progress of excitement, and the excitement of cultivation is far better than the world.
He has reached the Grand Master and cannot kill him at will. There are many constraints and many pressures, which is too unpleasant.
But there is no such trouble in practicing, and the taste of rapid progress is better than any pleasure.
Dugu Shuming looked at him: "You will be at Tiannan Pass soon, why don't you go in? Not to pass?"
"No hurry." Li Chengkong said.
Dugu Shuming gave him a fierce look.
Li Chengkong said: "This news was not confirmed, so I didn't want to say it."
"Why are you talking about this nonsense to me?" Dugu Shuming said angrily: "Hurry up!"
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Huo Tianfeng was assassinated."
"Yes." Dugu Shuming nodded: "I'm seriously injured, are you dead?"
It is not a strange thing that Huo Tianfeng was assassinated.
He is in a different situation than his seventh brother Dugu Lie.
Although Dugu Liefeng was expected to be the most popular, he did not have any real power. His power was based on the court ministers who stood on his side, influenced the court by influencing these court officials and demonstrating his power.
Huo Tianfeng is different. He is the real person in charge of the Ministry of War of the Dayong Dynasty.
Although he is just a minister, he is no different from the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty. He is more powerful than the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty. He can be said to be inferior to the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty and above everyone else.
Emperor Dayong was different from his father's prosperity in the spring and autumn. He was already in decline and his power was gradually transferred to Huo Tianfeng.
Although Huo Tianfeng only gained a little power, he was already very important, and assassination was just a common thing.
With such a status, it is not easy to assassinate Huo Tianfeng, let alone stab him to death.
"Dead." Li Chengkong said.
"Impossible?" Dugu Shuming's eyes widened.
Li Chengkong nodded slowly: "The news I received was that Huo Tianfeng was dead, but..."
“But what?”
"It may be a stand-in,...so the situation is still unclear."
"Oh..." Dugu Shuming sighed, and his spirit that had just been excited suddenly declined.
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "So I don't want to tell you about this news to your highness, so as not to affect your mood."
Dugu Shuming snorted: "What can you do to influence it? What's your life or death to me?"
"That's true." Li Chengkong sighed: "No matter whether he is dead or alive, I'm afraid you will marry him."
"Will marry even if you die?"
"Otherwise, how can the alliance between the two countries be maintained?" Li Chengkong said: "There must be at least one hostage."
Dugu Shuming nodded slightly.
"Wait a little longer and see the news over there." Li Chengkong said.
Dugu Shuming stood up and left.
This really affected her mood. It would be better not to know that sitting on her couch, she was thinking about Huo Tianfeng's life and death.
She actually wanted Huo Tianfeng to die and hated Huo Tianfeng deeply. Although the two countries formed a marriage alliance by the emperors, Huo Tianfeng decided who to choose.
She didn't sleep well all night and tossed and turned.
The next morning, before dawn, she went to find Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong was moving his muscles and bones in front of the wooden house. Even when he reached his level, his body still needs to be well maintained.
He shook his head at Dugu Shuming, who was staring at him eagerly: "It's the substitute who died."
Dugu Shuming's bright eyes suddenly became dim and he was disappointed.
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Your Highness wants him to die, right?"
Dugu Shuming glanced at him and was too lazy to say more.
She didn't believe that Li Chengkong didn't know what she was thinking. Of course, she wanted Huo Tianfeng to die. Even if she married, she didn't have to face a disgusting guy all day long.
Li Chengkong said: "Or otherwise, I will kill him?"
"Forget it." Dugu Shuming hurriedly said.
Li Chengkong shook his head: "The guys Dayun couldn't find us, so they came to Huo Tianfeng, but they were so ineffective that they only killed one substitute. It's really embarrassing!"
He frowned and pondered.
Dugu Shuming said, "Do you think something is wrong?"
Li Chengkong nodded slowly: "It's really not right."
He knew Shen Linfeng's ability, and if the master of Shen Linfeng took action, he would probably not have made any mistakes.
Is Huo Tianfeng's chess a better move?
Or is there another story?
He closed his eyes and did not move.
Dugu Shuming hurriedly waved his hand, and Yuan Ziyan, who was about to serve tea, stopped and stood there abruptly.
Time passes slowly.
