Volume 10 Chapter 631

The other assassins had already left, leaving only the woman in white sitting next to Yuan Fang. He turned around and said, "Xiaoyu, you should leave quickly too!"

"I want to stay with you!" the woman in white said quietly.

Yuan Fang shook his head and said seriously: "You have to go." He knew very well what the consequences would be if he stayed. He didn't care about his own life or death, but he couldn't watch her die in vain.

The woman in white took a deep breath and said, "I have always obeyed your arrangements, but this time, I must stay with you."

Yuan Fang was silent. From the eyes of the woman in white, he saw her unshakable determination.

"Haha, okay, one more person is better than one less person!" Jiaxi said with a sneer.

At this time, Cheng Jin stood up and said to Yuan Fang, "Mr. Yuan Fang, it's time for us to leave."

Yuan Fang stood up slowly and asked, "Where are we going?"

Cheng Jin said: "North of the city, the altar!"

Yuan Fang also had this intention, so he nodded and said, "Okay." Before Yuan Fang could follow Cheng Jin out, Jiaxi stepped forward quickly, spread out his palms, and stretched them out in front of Yuan Fang. In the palm of his hand was a magic pill. He said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan Fang, you should take this first!"

Cheng Jin waved his hand and said: "No need, I believe Mr. Yuan Fang will not run away." He couldn't run away even if he wanted to, Cheng Jin added silently in his heart. With so many elite assassins present, Yuan Fang and the woman in white would not be able to escape even if they had extraordinary abilities. Cheng Jin still had confidence in this.

Hearing what he said, Jiaxi didn't force it, shrugged, and took back the Spirit-Removing Pill, but he had already walked to Yuan Fang's side and stood still.

In this operation, almost all the secret personnel came out. There were more than a hundred people on the surface, and there were even more people hiding in the dark. Under the escort of so many dark spiritual cultivators, Yuan Fang and the woman in white really had no chance. Possibility of escape.

When the secret arrow personnel headed by Cheng Jin left Beicheng and came to the altar, the holy ceremony had already begun. The person who presided over the memorial ceremony was Zhang Xun, the eldest uncle who came from Yancheng. Da Zongbo is the highest official position of a country's priests and belongs to the first rank. He does not participate in government affairs during normal times, and it is difficult to see his face. He only comes out during major sacrifices such as the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony.

At this time, the surroundings of the altar were filled with Feng Jun and a huge crowd of people. Feng Jun was inside and the people were outside. Looking around, the darkness was boundless, and there were hundreds of thousands of people at least.

Before Cheng Jin and others got close, they saw a large group of wind troops coming from the front. The leader was none other than Du Qing, the captain of Hedong County. Seeing Cheng Jin from a distance, Du Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly got off his horse, rushed to Cheng Jin, stepped in and saluted respectfully, and said, "I will see you, General Cheng!"

Cheng Jin smiled, returned the salute, and said, "General Du, you're too polite. You and I are on the same level, how can we call ourselves the lowest general?!"

Although the county lieutenant is a local official, his official rank is not low. He is on the same level as the county chief and is equivalent to the deputy commander of the army. But in front of Cheng Jin, Du Qing did not dare to put on any airs and was cautious, fearing the slightest slight. He nodded in agreement, and then he asked: "I just received a military card from General Cheng, saying that there are assassins in the city. I was about to send someone to rush over. Why did General Cheng leave the city?"

Cheng Jin said: "I have captured the assassin, and I am about to take the assassin to see the king!"

"Ah?" Du Qing was shocked and was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked behind Cheng Jin. Sure enough, there were two people dressed as ordinary people, a man and a woman, standing in the crowd of hidden arrows. He said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, OK! I’ll let you clear the way for General Cheng.”

"Yes! We have General Laudu here, but don't be too showy."

"Yes! Got it!"

Under Du Qing's order, the county army took the lead in rushing into the crowd and forced a passage through the crowd to allow the hidden arrow personnel to enter. With the county army clearing the way, Cheng Jin and others were saved a lot of trouble. The group walked through the long corridor, passed through the blockade of the wind army, and finally reached the altar.

Since the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony was being held, Cheng Jin did not dare to disturb him. He left most of his men under the altar and only led a few core members such as Jiaxi, Ao Qing, and Jiang Qianqian to escort Yuan Fang and the woman in white up the steps. , go to the top of the altar to see Tang Yin.

At this time, Tang Yin was sitting on the right side of the platform at the top of the altar, watching with great interest Zhang Xun, the eldest uncle, dancing in the center of the platform, like a great god. Behind him were Qiu Zhen, Wuying, Shangguan brothers and others.

When Cheng Jin came up, Tang Yin didn't notice it, but the Shangguan brothers saw it. The two immediately came forward and whispered: "General Cheng, the eldest uncle is holding a holy ceremony. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it later!"

Looking up to the center of the platform, Cheng Jin whispered: "It's an urgent matter. Your Majesty expected it to be true. Yuan Fang really had ulterior motives and sneaked into Qingyuan with the intention of assassinating your Majesty. Now that I have captured him, I must see your Majesty immediately." "

"Ah, that's it..." Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao looked at each other and said in unison: "Wait a moment, I will report to the king right now."

"good."

The two Shangguan brothers walked quickly back behind Tang Yin. Yuanwu bent down, close to Tang Yin's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty, General Cheng Jin has arrived. At the same time, he captured Yuan Fang in Qingyuan City and took him away. coming."

"Yes!" Tang Yin's eyes were still on Zhang Xun, and he just responded lightly, as if he had expected everything that happened. Qiu Zhen looked down at Tang Yin and said to the Shangguan brothers: "Let Cheng Jin bring Yuan Fang over!"

"Yes! Prime Minister Qiu!" Shangguan Yuanwu responded, then straightened his body and waved to Cheng Jin and others.

Seeing this, Cheng Jin turned his head to Jia Xi, Ao Qing, Jiang Qianqian and others behind him, and walked quickly towards Tang Yin with Yuan Fang and the woman in white. When they got close to Tang Yin, Cheng Jin and others bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

It was not until then that Tang Yin retracted his gaze, turned his head and smiled at Cheng Jin and others, saying, "You can't usually see that old man Zhang Xun is quite flexible."

Puff! Cheng Jin and others were silent, only Ao Qing couldn't help laughing. Tang Yin turned his eyes and looked at Yuan Fang and the woman in white again. He frowned slightly and asked, "Who is my Mr. Yuan Fang?" Now Yuan Fang has become a black-faced young man, wearing ordinary people's clothes, Tang Yin can no longer recognize him.

Before Cheng Jin and the others could speak, Yuan Fang stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects to you!"

Tang Yin blinked and looked at him in amazement. After a long while, he shook his head and sighed, "Random changes are indeed powerful, ever-changing, and unpredictable." Then he asked, "Who is this young lady..."

"She is my confidant."

"Oh!" Tang Yin asked with a smile, "Why? You two want to assassinate me?"

Hearing this, Jia Xi and Ao Qing looked at Cheng Jin with concern. The latter took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "There are more than 40 assassins."

Tang Yin said, "Where are they?"

"They have been released by my subordinates."

"Released?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Jin in disbelief, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Cheng Jin explained, "Those people are insignificant accomplices, and today is the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony. There are too many people in the city. Once a fight breaks out, I don't know how many innocent people will be harmed, and it will also be a loss of face for the king and Fengguo, so I took the initiative to release them all."

Tang Yin looked at Cheng Jin, raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, and said faintly, "I think you are not only taking the initiative, but also being smart!"

Cheng Jin's old face turned red, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "This is my mistake, please punish me, king!"

Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Get up, I have told you many times not to kneel down all the time." As he spoke, he looked up at the woman in white again. He glanced at her and asked, "You were the one who tried to assassinate me outside the tavern last time, weren't you?"

The woman in white smiled coldly and said, "Your Majesty has a good memory."

Hearing the contempt in her words, the faces of the people around her changed at the same time. Jia Xi said in a deep voice, "How bold!"

Tang Yin waved his hand, not caring at all. He said calmly, "Miss's spiritual martial arts are very good." After that, his eyes fell back on Yuan Fang, patted the empty chair beside him, and said, "Mr. Yuan Fang, please come and sit down! Oh... By the way, I shouldn't call you Yuan Fang now. I wonder if you can teach me your real name?"

"Yuan Ziyi." Yuan Fang was not at all restrained and sat down next to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin smiled. From the bottom of his heart, he had to admire Yuan Ziyi's demeanor and courage. Knowing that he was in danger of death, he could still show such calmness, which was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. He smiled and said, "It seems that I should not call you Mr. Ziyi, but Miss Ziyi, or Miss Linglong!"

Yuan Ziyi's eyes flashed with a faint light, and she asked back, "When did the king find out?"

Tang Yin said faintly, "Let me ask you a question first. Why did you help me when you tried to assassinate me in the tavern last time?" This question was exactly what Cheng Jin and others were very curious about.

Yuan Ziyi shrugged and said calmly, "I missed the first attack and lost the opportunity. I should have retreated. The reason why I took the risk of chasing after them was to create conditions for me to get close to the king. As far as the situation at that time was concerned, if the king abandoned Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao and escaped by himself, we would not be able to stop him."

Tang Yin nodded. Yes, although there were many assassins at that time, if he used Shadow Drift to escape, no one could catch up with him. He said quietly, "But you are wrong. No matter what the situation, I will not abandon my brothers and run away alone. Even if I was defeated at that time, I would fight you to the death."

"Yes! This is our mistake, and it is also because we did not know the king well enough at that time." Yuan Ziyi sighed softly.

Tang Yin smiled with narrowed eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and said leisurely, "It's too late to regret now."
