Chapter 136 Murder and Silence
Click!
In the end, the sword was completely shattered, but what appeared in front of the Luowang killers was not an empty hilt, but another sword.
A sword with a bright and clear body and a strange shape, like a sword that can block the scorching sun in the sky.
One of the Eight Swords of King Yue, Covering the Sun!
"Greetings, Lord Yanri!"
The Luowang assassins who received the strange order from their superiors, except for the killer who was knocked unconscious by the gray-clothed old man, all looked at the sword in the old man's hand with a look of realization on their faces. After a short silence, the Luowang assassins knelt down in unison to pay homage to Yanri, the second person in Luowang after Zhao Gao and the leader of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue.
hum!
Facing the group of Luowang assassins who were bowing to him, the Sun-Blanking Sword trembled in his hand, and he was ready to use his special skill "Yanqu Bi Ri·Yin Sheng Day An" to kill all the assassins who saw his true self. However, a ray of light swept across the assassin with his eyes closed and unconscious, and he had to give up the idea.
His emotions were fluctuating, and the Sun-Covering Sword made a low sound.
"Lord Yanri, here you go."
Sensing the murderous aura coming from Lord Yanri, the Luowang assassins showed no reaction. After a short silence, a Luowang Earth-level assassin took out the Qin Army's standard black iron armor and mask, lowered his head, and respectfully handed it to Yanri.
"very good!"
Yanri took the coat and mask he used to disguise himself, and quickly put them on. When the mask covered his face, a hoarse and unpleasant voice came out from underneath, making it impossible to tell the gender and age of the speaker. Immediately, Yanri put his sword behind his back and used his superb Qinggong skills.
Even though the night had completely fallen, when he moved, he was as fast as the wind. After a few rises and falls, he had disappeared in front of the group of assassins. The whistling cold wind brought the last order from the leader of the Eight Swords of Yue King:
"Everything, proceed according to the plan. Also, keep your mouths shut. If anyone talks too much, none of you will survive!"
"Here."
……
"Greetings, Lord Yanri!"
After Yanri left the barren land, he soon came to a deserted mountain. The vegetation on the mountain had all withered due to the arrival of the cold winter. However, when Yanri arrived at the top of the barren mountain, he saw two girls wearing revealing metal uniforms, who looked exactly the same. They were a rare pair of twins, with charming and pretty faces, waiting for him.
When Yanri appeared in front of them, two female killers who were carefully cultivated by Luowang and bestowed with the twin swords of Zhuanpo and Miehun by Zhao Gao, and who were the same Luowang first-class killers as Zhen Gang, Duanshui and Yanri, but whose real status was far inferior to Yanri, bowed down together, with the same charming faces showing the same respect, waiting for Yanri's orders.
"Give!"
Looking down at the two girls kneeling in front of him, Yanri took out a box from his body and handed it to them. At the bottom of the box, drops of sticky and smelly liquid slowly seeped out.
"Thank you, Lord Yanri." Zhuanpo, who was named after his sword and was no different from other Luowang killers, took the box from Yanri's hand.
"Pass on my order again. For the killers who just participated in this mission, I will make sure that none of them can speak again within three months!" After handing the box to Zhuanpo and Mihun, Yanri's hoarse and unpleasant voice was filled with cold murderous intent, and he gave orders to the two girls with murderous intent.
"Please rest assured, Lord Yanri."
Luowang, a force composed of assassins, has no warmth within it. In order to conceal secrets, killing the executor is never a strange thing. For example, when Heibai Xuanjian was carrying out the task of killing Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, he killed Qiansha to silence him. Zhuanpo and Miehun were not surprised by Yanri's order and obeyed it in unison.
Slurp! The two girls who grew up in the midst of killing, after receiving the order, licked their lips with their scarlet tongues, their eyes full of desire for killing.
………………
Jicheng.
"The decree states that Wang Jian, who has made great contributions in conquering Yan, will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and his fiefdom will be increased by 1,000 households; Xin Sheng, who has made great contributions in conquering Yan, will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver and promoted one rank; ...; Tian Xuanzi, who has made great contributions in conquering Yan, will be promoted to Gongcheng and will take over the post of governor of Yingchuan County; ... "
Just as Tianxuan expected, the imperial edict from Xianyang was a reward for these generals. Although the edict written on the paper was concise and without any superfluous words, it still had hundreds of words because there were so many people who had made contributions. Tianxuan, who bowed down to the edict together with Wang Jian, Xin Sheng and others, keenly caught the reward for himself.
'From the sixth-rank official to the eighth-rank official, his actual position is the governor of Yingchuan County!'
【Yingchuan County Magistrate? 】
For a moment, these four words echoed in Tianxuan's mind, and when he fed back to the outside world, his handsome face was full of tears and laughter. It is true that the county governors and prefects today have not depreciated as they did during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and can be regarded as important officials who rule a region. However, firstly, Tianxuan knows his own affairs. With his current talents, he can fight in battles, but it is difficult for him to manage a county. Secondly, if Tianxuan remembers correctly, Yingchuan County will soon be in chaos. If he enters Yingchuan County at this time, he will be crushed to pieces in the upcoming storm if he is not careful.
Combining the two factors, Tianxuan, who was about to take up the post of magistrate of Yingchuan County, did not feel the slightest joy of promotion. Instead, he felt extremely unlucky.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever!"
Tianxuan was still immersed in Zhengge's appointment of him. Beside him, facing the imperial edict, the generals of the Qin army who received the corresponding rewards, after the imperial edict was read out, all of them showed joy from the bottom of their hearts even in the darkness, and bowed in unison. The shouting in his ears woke Tianxuan from his silence. Tianxuan, knowing that the matter was settled, bowed with everyone else.
"Congratulations to General Wang and all the generals!"
"Angel, please come in. I have already ordered people to prepare a banquet."
Wang Jian received the imperial edict, and his wrinkled face was filled with joy. He took out a few pieces of gold and stuffed them into the hands of the eunuch who was white-faced and beardless. Although he was not as prominent as Zhao Gao, he had also shown his face in front of Zheng Ge. He invited the eunuch and said that he had prepared a banquet to welcome him.
"congratulations."
"Brothers, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight!"
"It won't be long before we can leave this damn place."
……
All the generals including Wang Jian stood up and complimented each other. In an instant, the originally deserted General's Mansion was immersed in laughter and joy. Tianxuan, the youngest, had a mediocre relationship with most of the generals. He stood alone in the crowd, out of place, with a solemn look on his handsome face.
"Tianxuanzi, you seem unhappy?"
Suddenly, a cool and melodious sound rang in Tianxuan's ears, waking Tianxuan from his silence.
With long purple hair tied up, beautiful appearance and cool temperament, she is the Moon Goddess!
"Moon Goddess, how about going with me to Yingchuan County?" Seeing the Moon Goddess, Tianxuan's eyes flashed with joy, but it was so fast that even the Moon Goddess could not detect it. Looking at the stunning beauty in front of him, Tianxuan took the initiative to invite her.
