Chapter 79: The Kyoto Alarm Shocks Everyone! Xing Yusen Breaks the Ninth Rank!
A strong arm broke out from the wall, smashed through the wall and the carriage, and grabbed Fan Xian's neck.
Fan Xian was swept by the huge force, and his whole body crashed through the thick wall, and then fell heavily into the yard behind the wall.
His whole body suddenly ached as he watched a nine-foot-tall bald giant walking towards him!
Outside the wall that was smashed through by Fan Xian, Lao Zhao was pierced by two arrows and was roaring with bloodshot eyes!
"Cheng Jushu, come at me!"
He and Fan Xian finally understood that the four killers' hard bows were used to kill the two guards.
Siege crossbows and Cheng Jushu are the ones to deal with Fan Xian!
"Master, leave quickly!"
Old Zhao roared, then rushed towards Cheng Jushu with a knife!
"Crack!"
Cheng Jushu grabbed Lao Zhao's throat, and then four arrows shot at him at the same time, instantly turning Lao Zhao into a hedgehog!
The four killers fell to the ground, put their bows on their backs, drew their steel knives, and slowly walked towards Fan Xian!
Cheng Jushu, a peak eighth-rank monster, and four seventh-rank killers were only three feet away from the fallen Fan Xian!
When Fan Xian saw these five enemies, he suddenly felt despair!
At most he could deal with two seventh-grade killers at the same time. Now there were four killers, including Cheng Jushu, who was at the peak of the eighth grade!
"Hehehe..."
Looking at Old Zhao lying in a pool of blood, Fan Xian couldn't help but sneer.
If he could survive, he would definitely kill the mastermind behind the assassination with his own hands!
Prince!
This was his first guess. Wasn’t he the one who did the assassination in Danzhou?
However, at the moment he could not even see any hope of survival.
This is Kyoto. Assassins were rampant before, but they only carried out their assassinations at night.
In broad daylight, five masters killed him alone, using both bows and siege crossbows!
If you are not a person in a high position of power, you can never do such a thing!
Just when Fan Xian thought he was going to die here, suddenly a loud shout came from outside the wall!
"That's outrageous!"
"Someone actually dared to assassinate me in broad daylight!"
Cheng Jushu looked back and saw a military officer wearing black armor, not looking too serious, and holding a five-foot long sword, had already stepped into the yard!
Niulan Street is a sparsely populated area, making it a good place to hit someone with a club, and also a good place for assassination.
Xing Yusen focused his search on this area. He had a high level of cultivation and was the first to rush over after hearing the noise.
"Xing Yusen, the deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, is here. You bold assassin, why don't you surrender?"
Seeing Cheng Jushu, who was at the peak of the eighth rank, Xing Yusen was also startled. This was a tricky guy!
While Xing Yusen was shouting, he took out a flare and the red flare instantly shot into the sky!
"It turns out that the evil man Cheng Jushu from Northern Qi has arrived. Today he has finally fallen into my hands!"
When Fan Xian saw Xing Yusen, he immediately saw hope of survival!
The deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, the Daqing detective Xing Yusen, an eighth-grade top master!
The four seventh-rank upper assassins frowned, "Cheng Jushu, kill Fan Xian quickly, we'll go stop Xing Yusen!"
The four killers moved as fast as the wind and immediately began to attack Xing Yusen together.
"Go to the meeting alone!"
Xing Yusen roared, jumped up and slashed with his sword, splitting a seventh-rank assassin in half from head to toe!
Cheng Jushu took three steps to Fan Xian, grabbed him, and punched him in the face!
Fan Xian's domineering inner energy burst out, and he swung a wine jar and hit Cheng Jushu on the head.
With one strike, Fan Xian brought the poison skills he had practiced for more than ten years to full play!
Several kinds of poison powder flew into Cheng Jushu's mouth and nose at the same time.
Only a ninth-grade warrior can be immune to all poisons. Cheng Jushu shouldn't be able to withstand it!
Cheng Jushu staggered back a few steps and shook his head exaggeratedly!
However, Fan Xian obviously underestimated Cheng Jushu. Cheng Jushu, who could break through to the ninth level at any time, was completely immune to these poisons!
Cheng Jushu took a few steps back, regained consciousness, and then rushed towards Fan Xian.
“Die…hahaha!”
Xing Yusen's shot of an arrow into the sky startled many people.
Wang Qinian, who was tracking down another wave of assassins in Xishi, turned into a shadow without saying a word after seeing the red signal arrow.
The afterimage circled on the ground several times and reached the rooftop several feet away.
"This is the highest level of Red Alert. You guys continue investigating. I'll go provide support!"
Since the establishment of the Shadow Secret Guard, the highest level of alarm has never been activated. This time the situation is serious!
Prince Yong's Mansion.
Li Changan also walked out of the room and looked at the direction of the arrow in the air.
Jingwei said in surprise, "Your Highness, this is the red alert of the Shadow Secret Guard, it seems to be in the direction of Niulan Street! Do you want to send someone to support?"
Li Changan knew that this must be the Niulan Street assassination case.
Cheng Jushu, who is at the peak of the eighth rank, has a higher cultivation level than Gong Dian and is worthy of a red flare arrow.
"Jingwei, did the little alpaca make an appointment with Fan Xian for dinner recently?"
Jingwei was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the man with the alpaca-like hairstyle should be Li Chengze.
"Your Highness is as good as a god. Li Chengze has made an appointment with Fan Xian to have dinner at Zuixianju today."
"Your Highness, do you mean that Fan Xian was assassinated? But the signal arrows were fired by our people. Do you want to send someone to support us?
Li Changan said in a deep voice, "No need, Lao Wang will rush over. Lao Wang and Lao Xing together are enough to deal with the strong ones in the ninth rank."
"The Shadow Secret Guard, the Garrison Division, and the Inspection Institute have exchanged signals, and Ye Zhong, who is at the Ninth Rank, will rush over as soon as possible."
These masters will have no problem dealing with Cheng Jushu, it just depends on whether Fan Xian can hold on.
"Let Lao Wang and Lao Xing handle it themselves. We don't need to intervene."
After Li Changan finished speaking, he went back to his room to continue practicing.
His blue-level pagoda made rapid progress and he could not stop for even a moment.
Inspection Institute.
Zhuge, holding a sword, rushed out of the courtyard with a dozen people. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past him.
"Master Zhu, the Chief Secretary Lang Zongzhu will go ahead, you guys take your time!"
Although Zong Zhui's strength is below the eighth rank, his lightness skill is comparable to that of an upper ninth rank.
The most important thing is that he is close to the dean, and Chen Pingping wants him to protect Fan Xian's safety.
He knew Fan Xian's whereabouts. This young master was the focus of conflicts in the capital.
Niulan Street was the only way for Fan Xian to attend the banquet. Zong Zhui did not dare to be careless, so he chased after him as soon as possible.
royal palace.
Emperor Qing opened his eight-door floor-to-ceiling door and walked onto the wide balcony.
In less than ten breaths, Hong Sixiang appeared behind him.
"Your Majesty, this is the highest alert of the Shadow Secret Guard, the enemy is at least an upper eighth rank!"
Emperor Qing said angrily, "An enemy above the eighth rank has the guts to enter Kyoto!"
The previous assassins were all of the seventh rank, and there had never been an eighth rank assassin.
"Si Xiang, send ten inner court masters to rush to Niulan Street immediately!"
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lin Gong looked at the traces of flaring arrows in the distance and his heart tightened involuntarily.
In the direction of Niulan Street! Cheng Jushu was discovered by the Shadow Secret Guards!
"Prince Yong's Shadow Guards are really difficult to deal with!"
"However, Cheng Jushu's skills are so powerful that he should be able to kill Fan Xian in time!"
Then, Lin Gong's face showed a cruel look, "And I have a backup plan, Fan Xian, you must die!"
Niulan Street.
Xing Yusen fought one against four people and was not at a disadvantage at all. He slashed one of the killers in half with his sword.
"Master Fan, can you still hold on?" Fan Xian was covered in blood and was already engaged in a fight with Cheng Jushu.
"boom!"
Fan Xian, who had just been thrown against the wall by Cheng Jushu, was no longer able to answer Xing Yusen.
After Xing Yusen killed two killers, it became much easier to deal with the remaining two.
His swordsmanship was sharp, and his speed and strength were much greater than those of the Northern Qi killer.
After about ten breaths, the remaining two killers were all killed by him!
Fan Xian's consciousness was a little fuzzy. He couldn't remember how many times he punched Cheng Jushu, he only remembered that Cheng Jushu punched him more.
"Roar!"
Cheng Jushu was a skilled martial artist, so even though he was injured in many places, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
When he stood up, he was suddenly stopped by Xing Yusen.
"Monster, your opponent...is me!"
Xing Yusen kicked the body of the Northern Qi killer away, then rushed towards Cheng Jushu with a bloody steel knife.
"Keng!"
Xing Yusen slashed with his sword, but Cheng Jushu clasped his hands together and clamped the back of the sword!
If he were to face a seventh-rank swordsman, Cheng Jushu would even dare to use his body to block the opponent's blade.
But now, both of them are at the peak of the eighth level, and the power of their true qi is not much different. If Cheng Jushu is hit by a knife, he will probably be killed or crippled.
Xing Yusen missed the first attack, so he immediately drew his sword and chopped down three more times!
Cheng Jushu's body moved slowly, and he could only rely on his strong fists to deflect the steel knife.
The two men fought from the room to the yard, smashing all the floor tiles and door panels along the way.
After more than ten moves, Xing Yusen felt the internal energy surging in his body, and his arms seemed to be filled with a thousand pounds of strength!
Cheng Jushu only felt that the other party's true energy was getting stronger and stronger, and the speed was getting faster and faster!
The true energy in Xing Yusen's body surged several times, breaking through the ninth level in an instant!
The realm that countless warriors dream of was finally reached by Xing Yusen.
This was all thanks to the "Spring and Autumn Swordsmanship" given by Li Changan, which made him one of the most famous masters in the capital.
"bass!"
With a slight sound, Xing Yusen's steel knife directly cut off one of Cheng Jushu's arms!
"Ow!"
With a scream, Cheng Jushu felt pain and was kicked to the ground by Xing Yusen.
Under the severe pain, even Cheng Jushu, who was well-trained, could not hold on and fainted.
Xing Yusen searched Cheng Jushu's body and found only a spy token from Northern Qi.
As the former chief detective of the Ministry of Justice, he was familiar with the tokens of various levels of Northern Qi spies.
Even without this token, everyone in the world knows Cheng Jushu.
"It turns out that this guy is actually a spy from Northern Qi."
At this time, Fan Xian walked over with a staggering gait, holding his completely dislocated arm.
He glanced at Lao Zhao and Lao Zhang who were shot like hedgehogs, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He had a close relationship with these two veterans and they trusted each other quite a bit, so he would take them with him wherever he went.
But unexpectedly, his trust cost them both their lives.
"You mobilized so many troops just to kill me!"
"Commander Xing, since you already know that Cheng Jushu is a spy from Northern Qi, why don't you kill him!"
Xing Yusen said, "Don't you want to know the mastermind behind this? Who is trying to assassinate you?"
"Hulong Villa is only responsible for the search and arrest. The trial is the responsibility of the Inspection Institute. I will hand Cheng Jushu over to the Inspection Institute."
Although Fan Xian was furious at the moment, he wanted to know the mastermind behind the scenes even more!
He is the director of the Inspection Institute. Since Cheng Jushu has entered the Inspection Institute, he should have the right to inquire.
Just at this time, several of Xing Yusen's subordinates came over panting.
It didn't take Xing Yusen long to kill several assassins, as these men were not slow in coming.
Xing Yusen ordered, "Don't move the scene, leave it to the Inspection Institute for investigation.
Search the area to see if there are any assassins who have escaped!"
Several secret guards began to search the yard, and Xing Yusen also began to check the bodies.
Seeing the hard bow on the assassin, Xing Yusen's heart skipped a beat, "This is a military weapon!"
Fan Xian sneered and said, "Commander Xing, there are siege crossbows outside, which are even more military equipment!"
Xing Yusen glanced outside and nodded solemnly.
"Not bad, it's the kind used exclusively by the City Patrol."
Xing Yusen has been in Beijing for many years and has many friends in the military, so he is very familiar with these military weapons.
However, the Shadow Secret Guard does not have the authority to try cases, and he will not speak casually about these things.
Fan Xian glanced at the fallen Cheng Jushu with hatred, "I will go to the Inspection Institute tomorrow to ask for the results of the interrogation."
After saying this, he walked deeper into Niulan Street.
Xing Yusen hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Fan, you have just been assassinated. Please do not act alone."
"You are seriously injured, I'm afraid you can't even muster up the energy."
"Stay with us and wait until all dangers nearby are eliminated before returning home."
Because of the death of the two guards, Fan Xian was furious at the moment, and a feeling of injustice in his heart instantly burst out.
He calmly walked onto the empty Niulan Street and shouted angrily, "Whoever wants to kill me!"
"I'll give him a chance to kill me again!"
He dared to say this out of anger. If an assassin really appeared, he would be powerless to resist.
However, just as Fan Xian finished speaking, the sound of breaking air suddenly rang out again!
"Whizzing!"
Two masked women in white with graceful figures suddenly jumped out from the second floors of the attics on both sides of Niulan Street!
The two women also held hard bows, and two arrows flew through the air!
These two are none other than the sister killers who were disciples of Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City!
Because of the existence of the Beijing Shadow Secret Guards, Lin Gong sent a total of seven people to assassinate Fan Xian.
In addition to the four people who were just killed, the captured Cheng Jushu, and these two female swordsmen from Dongyi City.
In the original drama, only Cheng Jushu and these two female swordsmen assassinated Fan Xian.
Xing Yusen was horrified, but it was too late to rescue.
There was a hint of mockery in Fan Xian's expression. God, you really know how to play tricks on me.
I asked them to kill me again, and a new assassin really appeared!
The most dangerous moment is often not the time when you face the enemy with all your heart and soul, because at that time everyone will be on full alert.
After defeating the enemy, it is actually the time to let down your guard.
The manpower arranged by Lin Gong was more than enough, and these two female swordsmen were there to guard against the situation where a master suddenly appeared and defeated Cheng Jushu.
If Cheng Jushu was defeated, then Fan Xian would definitely relax his vigilance.
Lin Gong himself could not have imagined that Fan Xian really gave him a second chance!
Fan Xian dragged his heavy body, but he could not avoid the arrows that hit him.
Seeing the two arrows flying right in front of him, Fan Xian could only curse in his heart, what a mean mouth!
At this moment, Fan Xian seemed dazzled and saw several black shadows approaching him.
Fast as lightning!
Fast as thunder!
