Chapter 1345 Bad News
Situ Yu and his guards were blown away in the air, and flew three meters in the air before falling into the water with a few splashes.
Even though he had multiple protective gear, he couldn't handle the fierce explosion at such a close distance.
Situ Yu's eyesight was burned by the strong light of the explosion, and there were snowflakes in front of his eyes for a while - he was lucky not to be blinded on the spot.
Three protective magic tools exploded at the same time, and he died.
His face, neck, and limbs were all injured, and the water surface was dyed red as soon as he fell into the lake.
Not to mention that the impact of the explosion injured his internal organs. If it were an ordinary person, he would die the moment he was blown away.
Situ Yu's cultivation was not weak. Although his eyes went black and his body was in unbearable pain, he still took a breath of true energy after floating in the water for a few breaths and swam to the shore.
Although his eyes were in great pain and he couldn't see anything, he could still feel the breeze on his face. Situ Yu was still clear-headed at this time. He knew that the wind was blowing from the south this season, and the lakeshore was also in the south, so he could get ashore by paddling in the direction of the wind.
Underwater undercurrents were surging, and there was danger approaching. Situ Yu grabbed a long spear and stabbed it diagonally to the back.
His reaction was not slow, but after all, he was not used to fighting in the water, and his spear was not as fast as on the shore. The crocodile-like monster swung its head and tail to avoid the stab, and opened its mouth to bite his head and face.
As soon as the water flow changed, Situ Yu knew it was not good, and immediately grabbed a shield to block it in front of him.
The strange crocodile hit the shield and knocked him out a foot away. After another round, it finally bit his leg and desperately pulled him to the bottom of the water!
Situ Yu stabbed with a spear, just piercing the strange crocodile's eyeball, and the latter felt pain and let go of his mouth.
He immediately swam to the surface of the water.
As soon as he came out of the water, he heard screams from not far away:
"The Marshal fell into the water!"
"There is a monster in the water!"
"Hurry up and rescue the Marshal, quickly!"
Then there was the sound of splashing water, and it was expected that someone would jump into the water to save him.
However, the sound of the water was so loud and the water flow was so chaotic that Situ Yu could not figure out the attacker's movements.
Fortunately, his eyesight was recovering and the scene in front of him gradually became clear.
Two guards swam to his side, stretched out their hands to help him, and shouted: "Master, hurry up and get ashore!"
Situ Yu was seriously injured and fought with monsters underwater. In fact, he had already been exhausted.
The monster crocodile opened several bloody holes in his right leg and bit the artery. He couldn't feel his right leg after swimming a few times. In addition to losing blood, I'm afraid the monster's fangs are also highly poisonous.
But the help finally came, and Situ Yu felt relieved.
At this moment, another guard swam over and helped him ashore from behind.
This man's movements were very rigid and his swimming posture was also very stiff, but who would pay special attention to him at this time?
As soon as he supported Situ Yu, another guard turned around and saw him, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Axun, what are you doing..."
The guard who just swam over was Axun, who had just been wormed into the brain. When Situ Yu escaped, he was rolling on the ground, but now he can swim over to protect his master.
But his ears, eyes and nose were bleeding, especially his eyes were dark red, which looked really scary.
Situ Yu knew something was wrong when he heard this, and when he wanted to get rid of the guards behind him, it was too late.
He only felt a chill and pain in his back, and heard the guards' exclamations and scolding in his ears.
It's over, he was still calculated by the enemy.
The guard killed Axun with two knives, and then helped Situ Yu to the shore.
Everyone on the shore saw that Situ Yu had a shiny knife tip on his chest!
He was laid flat on the ground, and the guards stuffed pills into his mouth, but Situ Yu grabbed his hand and said, "Everything I have will be inherited by He'er. He must be calm and not be blinded by hatred. Also, Yangshan..."
Speaking of this, he used up his last breath.
Situ Yu's eyes went dark, and his last thought was whether his son could take on this heavy burden and this mess.
He was unwilling to fail to sweep Bixia and recover his homeland.
The guards around him burst into tears.
Someone found that a beetle slowly crawled out of the dead Axun's nose, and it was actually blue.
...
Dong Rui's dark circles seemed to be contagious. After he left, He Lingchuan subconsciously yawned several times and rubbed his eyes.
His right eyelid kept twitching. Should he take a nap too?
Hmm? Right eye?
There was a chirping noise outside. He Lingchuan opened the window and saw that it was actually two crows fighting for two fruits, and the black feathers were flying everywhere.
"Hush, hush, hurry up!" The servants in the garden hurried over to chase the birds away. In the Golden Plains, crows also represent bad luck.
Just then, the servants hurried in to announce:
"Mr. Situ is visiting!"
Shouldn't Situ He be at the front line at this time?
"Please come in quickly."
He Lingchuan felt uneasy for no reason, as if something bad had happened.
Just a dozen breaths later, Situ He arrived.
He almost rushed in with big strides, his eyes were red and swollen, and when he saw He Lingchuan, he said sadly: "Brother He, my father was assassinated!"
He Lingchuan was shocked: "What did you say!"
Situ Yu was assassinated?
But he immediately came to his senses, and seeing that Situ He's steps were a little unsteady, he reached out to support him: "When, where? How did it happen?"
Situ He couldn't help crying again: "Father successfully witnessed the agreement between the Peleu Kingdom and the Kan people yesterday afternoon, and received an invitation to celebrate at the Piaofeng Tower in Yaopo in the evening. As a result, the assassin ambushed there, and father... failed to escape. He was shot through the heart and died of blood loss."
"Whose invitation?" Situ Yu was a careful person and held a high position. How could he casually accept someone else's appointment?
"Yours." Situ He looked at him and said word by word, "Yangshan Chamber of Commerce's stationery, your signature."
The Dementor monster in his arms screamed: "Lie on the grass!"
He Lingchuan's face changed color: "It's not me."
"Of course not Brother He!" Situ He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, "This is a trap. My father probably didn't expect that someone could successfully plot against him in Yaopo."
If He Lingchuan wanted to deal with them and his son, he would have done it long ago. There were plenty of opportunities.
He Lingchuan took a look at the letter and found that it was indeed a special letterhead for the Yangshan Islands. Even the handwriting on it was 70% or 80% similar to his.
"He" invited Situ Yu in the letter to have a celebration drink at Piaofeng Tower.
Piaofenglou is the largest restaurant in Yaopo. The wine, fragrant dishes and delicacies are high in price. Allied troops often choose to go to Piaofenglou when they welcome guests. Last time, He Lingchuan lured Xuanlu Ghost King to attack Rolling Stone Valley by hiring the whole team of Piaofenglou's back chef to hold a village banquet.
He and Situ and his son were both frequent visitors to Piaofeng Tower, and two or three people would have dinner and get together there more than four or five times.
People instinctively relax in familiar places.
Besides, Yaopo is the territory of the Situ family. There are guards inside the city and troops outside the city. Situ Yu probably didn't expect that the enemy would dare to attack him here.
"The other party also imitated my handwriting and my seal, which was really a lot of hard work."
There is a property belonging to the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce in Yaopo. He Lingchuan came over to inspect the property and sent someone to treat Situ Yu to a meal. This was perfectly normal, so Situ Yu did not become suspicious.
This assassination plan may not be precise, but the assassin's control over Situ Yu's psychology is very precise.
He really saw the weakness of people's hearts.
The assassination happened last night, He Lingchuan said: "I haven't received the news yet."
Situ Yu was killed. This was probably the biggest bad news in Situ's territory. They said bad things spread thousands of miles.
"Yaopo has blocked the news. I will take care of my father's funeral after I return from the front line." Situ He gritted his teeth before continuing, "But rumors have begun to spread. In one day at most, the Allies will Know!”
Even He Lingchuan had to take a deep breath: "Has the murderer been caught?"
"No, the murderer himself did not come forward."
He Lingchuan was shocked: "Then how to commit murder?"
"A weird-looking monster, its body looks like a crocodile, but its tongue sticks out on the water to disguise itself as a lotus, and it can emit a poisonous fragrance that makes people sleepy; one end is an insect monster, and when it spreads out, it turns out to be thousands of beetles."
Insect monster? He Lingchuan's heart was moved when he heard this. He started the battle of Yuheng City in Panlong World. Fu Shanlie had an insect demon under his command. It was also a gathering of thousands of insects and quietly killed the city guard.
This kind of monster has a natural advantage as an assassin. After the mission is completed, just fly to the sky. Conventional hunting methods such as closing the city gate and forbidden escape techniques have no effect on it.
"Most are black and brown beetles that attack people directly. But this one killed my father!" Situ Yu took out a glass vial from his arms and placed it on the table. "It controlled my father's personal bodyguard, Ah. Xun, the sneak attack from behind was successful!”
In the bottle is a blue beetle, dead.
"Perhaps this is the main body of the insect demon." He Lingchuan raised the bottle and looked at it, "Do you mind putting it here with me first?"
He can assign someone to study it.
Situ He shook his head.
"Is the inner lake of Yaopo connected to the outside?"
"There are connected caves under the water, but they were sealed by stone fences during the war." Situ He's face was ashen. "I sent someone to go into the water to check. The stone fences have been destroyed."
Otherwise, how could that giant crocodile-like monster come and go without a trace?
He Lingchuan pressed Situ He's shoulder and said seriously: "My condolences to Brother Situ. In these extraordinary times, the heavy responsibility of Marshal Situ has fallen entirely on you."
Ordinary people who lose their father can vent their grief to their heart's content and cry about it for days.
But Situ He can't.
Situ Yu was the general marshal of the Seven Allied Forces, and he generally directed and coordinated the attack on the Vixia people.
Without this soul figure, can the Allies still be Allies?
As the heir to the Situ family, Situ He's responsibilities take priority over his emotions.
Situ He nodded vigorously: "I came here now to report the bad news to Brother He. I will ask Brother He again..."
He choked up when he said this and had to pause to calm down before he could continue: "If I control the Allied Forces, will Brother He continue to support it?"
"As long as the Allies fight for justice, I will always support them." He Lingchuan said sternly, "No matter who controls the Allies, it is your father, you, or other promising people."
Situ He took a deep breath and said sincerely: "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
