I, make my own

Chapter 52 The matter failed, all went to Jinhong Temple
Qixiangyuan.

Due to the duel at the top of Yueyang, today's Qixiang Garden is deserted, not to mention benefactors who are looking for flowers and willows, even the dancing girl Jiuji can't see many.

With the night wind blowing gently, six hundred green-armored guards entered in three directions, mopping up posts and guards all the way, silently, as if entering an uninhabited land.

When the six hundred soldiers arrived outside the attic where the target was located, what they heard was the melodious sound of the piano and ethereal singing.

"Not right!"

A strong man in purple heavy armor suddenly frowned, his expression a little uneasy.

"Commander Kurotan, what's wrong?"

A person beside him asked in a low voice.

"This journey is too easy, and there are no guards around, it's not normal!"

As Hei Tan spoke in a deep voice, he carefully scanned his surroundings, and the uneasiness in his eyes became more and more intense.

At this time, the singing in the attic suddenly became louder, and the sound of the piano also spread strangely in all directions, as if the sound of the piano was also echoed in other buildings within a radius of [-] meters around the attic.

"The night comes and the wind blows, the flowers bloom again in March, the gardenia kisses, half of the body is windy and half of the body is cold..."

"Commander, it's the voice of the leader of the Demon Cult! You can't be wrong, she is in the attic!"

One person's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said quickly.

Hei Tan felt even more uneasy, but at this moment the arrow was ready, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

"attack!"

"kill!"

After receiving the order to attack, the six hundred guards who surrounded the attic shouted together, and then the front troops began to press into the attic, while the rear troops took off their strong bows and prepared to shoot the upper part of the attic into a hornet's nest.

Also at this time, a trembling sound of "buzzing" suddenly occurred in the field, and then long silver lines gushed out from the attic and the surrounding buildings, rippling like continuous waves.

That kind of scene is like turning sound waves and musical notes into substance, and turning this space into a substantial sound field.

When the long silver thread came into contact with the body of Hundred Point Guards, the seemingly beautiful and harmless lines turned into the deadliest sharp blades, cutting off each Hundred Point Guards at the waist.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the Hundred Cave Guards couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly backed away in shock and slashed wildly with their weapons.

However, the long silver thread seemed to have no substance, and it was as if a ray of light had been chopped off by the weapon, and it had no effect at all.

In addition, the silver wave lines followed one another, high and low, almost forming a fine three-dimensional net. Even if someone could escape the attack of two or three wave lines, they could not escape the encirclement and suppression of other wave lines.

Terrified in Hei Tan's heart, he gritted his teeth and slashed tentatively, but successfully cut off a wavy line in the middle, and that wavy line disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Heitan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"All the deputy commanders and elders immediately shot with all their strength, and the rest followed and avoided!"

Although he didn't know what was going on, he at least knew that the attack of the ninth-rank powerhouse was effective.

Soon, the other four ninth-rank powerhouses followed suit. Although some of them needed to be hacked two or three times before they could be chopped off, at least there was hope.

However, there are too many silver wavy lines, and they are still increasing, and hundreds of guards are still dying tragically every moment.

I don't know how long it has passed, when the singing in the attic stopped, the sound of the piano also disappeared, and the silver wavy net also slowly disappeared.

However, at this moment, there are only dozens of people standing still in the field, and the five ninth-rank powerhouses of Hundred Caves are also exhausted.

Suddenly, the dead body stood up, and the shadow suddenly attacked. The two ninth-rank powerhouses were startled, and they instinctively slapped the attacking body, but they were pierced between the eyebrows and throat by an extremely fast black shadow.

At the same time, two hundred men in black suddenly appeared outside.

On the top floor of the attic, a window opened silently, revealing Shang Kewan's delicate face and disdainful eyes like ants.

Heitan was like falling into an ice cellar, and his heart was filled with ashes.

……

Qinglong Avenue.

[-] imperial guards returned to the palace, including [-] cavalry, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry in the middle.

When the team marched near the Drum Tower, there were suddenly shouts of killing from both sides, and more than a thousand figures rushed out from the houses and shops on both sides of the street, and threw densely packed smoke sealing beads into the formation of the forbidden army.

Thick smoke billowed up, covering the central part of the Imperial Army and the Royal Cavalry in billowing smoke and dust, reducing the visible range to two or three paces.

"kill!"

Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, the sound of weapons clashing and screams mixed together, coupled with the blocking of thick fog, the scene was in chaos.

At the same time, on the top of the Drum Tower, a giant crossbow engraved with mysterious golden patterns was also slowly aimed at the looming imperial driver in the dense fog under the drive of five eighth-rank masters.

At a certain moment, accompanied by an ear-splitting buzzing sound, the huge golden arrow with a thickness of an arm and a length of one foot shot out of the air, and hit the imperial driver like lightning.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and the imperial carriage, which was strong enough to defend against the attack of the ground-level heavy crossbow, shattered directly. The solid carriage was shattered into hundreds of pieces under the bombardment, and splashed towards the surroundings, causing a scream .

"Success!"

Seeing this scene with their own eyes, the five eighth-rank masters were immediately overjoyed.

However, a deep and piercing laughter suddenly sounded from behind the five people.

"is it?"

The five of them froze immediately, and when they were about to make a move, they realized that they had suddenly lost control of their bodies, and their consciousness was constantly rising, and finally fell into chaos.

Bai Wudang didn't look at the five people who were killed, but frowned and stared at the mysterious crossbow in front of him.

"City Breaking Crossbow, what a great skill..."

The city-breaking crossbow is a heaven-level battle formation weapon. The reason why such a name is given is because it can blast through most of the city gates, and it is a great weapon for destroying cities and villages.

However, the cost of breaking the city crossbow was astonishing, and there were only less than twenty of them in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of them were armed in the frontier army.

For example, the Huben Army and the Huwei Army did not equip a single one.

In the entire imperial capital, there were only three armed guards.

But it is impossible for the three of the Imperial Army to appear here. If so, where did this city-breaking crossbow come from?

Is it privately created by the rich?Or a prince?

Or, is it the secret library of the Ministry of Industry?
Bai Wudang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

……

Prime Minister's Mansion.

"master……"

Seeing the butler walk in, Lin Zhengqing looked calm.

"Failed?"

The butler's expression froze, hesitating for a moment, then sighed and nodded.

"The emperor has safely returned to the palace."

"It's not unusual. If it succeeds today, it would be a little strange."

Lin Zhengqing smiled lightly, not taking it seriously.

"Speaking of which, this little emperor really frightens the truth."

"Setting up a plan to eradicate Shang Fazong, who is the leader of the righteous way, and also bring in the Jinhong Temple, which is a holy place of Buddhism, his courage is not ordinary, and his methods are not ordinary astonishing."

"At this time of turbulence, he still dared to attack the Jianghu world. This was unexpected by the truth."

Lin Zhengqing said softly, with a sigh of relief, but also a strong sense of dread and horror.

If he still had fantasies before, today, his fantasies have been completely shattered.

He knew that with the domineering mind shown by the emperor, he would never tolerate the existence of powerful officials.

In other words, the emperor would never let him go, let alone rely on him.

Once the time is right, the emperor will definitely take his own life without hesitation!

So, he also made up his mind...

"Master, did you arrange for the city-breaking crossbow?"

At this moment, the housekeeper spoke again, with a somewhat disturbed expression.

"City-breaking crossbow?"

Lin Zhengqing couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then his face changed slightly.

"You mean tonight's assassination, someone used a city-breaking crossbow?!"

"Yes."

The butler nodded quickly, his expression relaxed.

He thought that the city-breaking crossbow was arranged by the Patriarch, but now it is obvious that it is not.

Lin Zhengqing's eyes flashed, and his complexion was cloudy and uncertain.

"Could it be that idiot Lu Fang?"

"Trash, do you think you didn't die fast enough?!"

Lin Zhengqing cursed in a deep voice, her face was rather ugly.

Lu Fang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not his person, so he doesn't have to worry about him.

But now, except for the emperor, everyone else is considered an invisible ally.

The great generals have already withered talent, if Lu Fang falls again, the great generals will collapse completely.

After all, Lu Fang is the thread that maintains some generals of the frontier army.

If his thread is gone, the military commander over there can only fall to the emperor.

What's more, the emperor has now controlled the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials. If he takes down the Ministry of Industry, half of the six ministries will be in his hands!
In this way, their situation will be even more difficult!
"Master, do you want to think of a way?"

The housekeeper also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he said in a worried voice.

"It's too late, even if Lu Fang didn't do this, I'm afraid it will be blamed on him!"

Lin Zhengqing sighed helplessly, rubbed his temples with his eyes closed, and regained his composure.

"The ghost monk disappeared strangely, which shows that there is still a mysterious and extremely powerful strongman around the emperor. If you want to assassinate through Xiunu, I'm afraid there is no hope."

"For now, there is only one way..."

……

The next day, three consecutive imperial decrees came out of the palace.

First, Shang Fazong conspired to poison the emperor, ordered Jing'an Division, Dali Temple and the Dongsheng Prefecture Frontier Army to flatten Shang Fazong's garrison and seize all Shang Fazong's properties and resources.

Second, Xuandu, the ghost monk of Jinhong Temple, assassinated the Holy Master, ordered Jing'an Division, Dali Temple and the Beicangzhou frontier army to flatten the Jinhong Temple garrison, and seized all the properties and resources of Jinhong Temple.

Thirdly, Lu Fang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, mobilized the secret library to break the city crossbow to assassinate the holy lord and the nine tribes of barbarians!

Following the announcement of these three decrees, the Dazhou Jianghu, which had lost its voice because of the shocking changes last night, instantly changed.

Shang Fazong and Jinhong Temple are the two of the Big Three in the Jianghu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their prestige in the Jianghu is extremely high.

Although the imperial court is well-known this time, there are still many forces in the rivers and lakes who are outraged.

They think that this is a trap and conspiracy deliberately arranged by the imperial court, in order to stabilize the Jianghu and bring the Jianghu who faintly deviate from the imperial court's laws and regulations back into the strict legal system.

Therefore, the heads of many powers in the rivers and lakes flocked to Jinhong Temple, which still had enough power, and wanted to unite to force the imperial court to make concessions.
