In the sky above Ning Tianfu, Zhou Jing’s robe fluttered, riding the wind, looking down at the riots in the city like a falcon.

“This assassin assassinated the emperor alone, and I don’t know if he has any accomplices…”

He whispered while opening the element vision inspection, but found nothing.

This assassin seems to be a pure martial artist. He doesn’t know how to use magic. For him, it is more difficult to catch than Mei Zhanqing.

There is a specialization in the art industry. At the beginning, Mei Zhanqing was full of evil spirits. In the field of vision of the elements, she was like a firefly in the dark night, so vivid and outstanding.

And an ordinary martial artist, the breath is no different from that of mortals, there is no distinctive feature, and there is no special trace in the elemental field of vision.

Zhou Jing tried it for a while, and then closed the elemental vision. For this kind of target, it is better to use normal senses to find traces.

He lowered his height and circled in the night sky, observing the search tracks of the many garrison troops, looking at the streets illuminated by torches, and at the same time devoting his energy to pay attention to the movements of the dark streets.

Under his higher perception, he can see the situation of the flying area in full view. Although it is not completely visible, he will not ignore the slightest movement.

Just searched for a while, but found nothing.

“Assassins are very skilled. As long as they get rid of the pursuers, they can hide anywhere. The Ningtian Palace is very large. If there is no mysterious means of tracking, searching for a person is similar to finding a needle in a haystack…”

Zhou Jing thought secretly.

If you were an assassin, how would you escape if the assassination failed?

Hmm… escape, it must be swaggering out of town.

“Cough, this is not what a normal person thinks.”

Zhou Jing calmed down, switched to a mortal’s way of thinking, and pondered:

“At night, when the city gate is closed, the assassin can only hide in the city. And if the emperor is assassinated, even in the daytime, the city gate will be under martial law, and the thief will not be easily lifted. Therefore, the assassin either hides in the city and prays forever. If you are found, either find a way to escape from the city. He dares to assassinate, and he is very skilled, so he should not sit still and escape from the city gate and escape from Ningtianfu…”

He narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the Yulin River extending in all directions in the city.

The water network in Ningtian Mansion is densely covered. If you want to avoid the inspection, the most likely way is to take the waterway at night and find a way to get out of the city through the water gate.

Zhou Jing thought about it, then lowered the altitude, and simply flew close to the bank of the Yulin River to observe the movement of the river.

The Yulin River surrounds Ningtian Prefecture, and there are prosperous and remote sections of the river.

He searched carefully for a while, and in a remote place with a turbid river surface, he really found something unusual.

There is a stone bridge here, and there are clumps of water plants growing in the bridge hole, and there are fish swimming and making ripples.

It seemed that everything was normal, but Zhou Jing found a reed tube sticking out of the water plants.

In a dark environment, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice this detail, but his perception is quite high, and his vision, smell, and hearing are far superior to ordinary people.

Under the comprehensive perception, he not only discovered this detail through vision, but also vaguely felt the weak airflow of the reed tube, as if someone was breathing in small mouths.

‘There should be someone hiding under water…mostly an assassin, otherwise they wouldn’t hide like this.

‘

Zhou Jing’s eyes flashed, but he didn’t step forward to dismantle it. Instead, he listened to the movements around him.

The footsteps of the Royal Forest Army’s search were quite far from here, and most of the buildings on the banks of this river section had their doors and windows closed, and there were no onlookers.

He rolled his eyes, coughed, and deliberately muttered:

“I don’t know who this assassin is sacred, could it be the one who urged Yama Chen Feng? This person killed officials and dignitaries all the way, claiming to be a crusade against treacherous people, which is the most suspicious.

” Zhou Jing turned his head and flew up, as if he had gone elsewhere.

In fact, he circled and came back, quietly watching the movement here in the air.

It didn’t take long for him to discover that a “drifting” reed tube appeared on this section of the river, moving quietly along the river towards the edge of the city.

Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up, he didn’t tell anyone about this discovery, but followed quietly in the air, staring closely at the trace of this man.

…

Duan Yunfeng was swimming cautiously in the river with the reed tube in his mouth.

In the autumn, the river water is freezing cold to the bone. Rao is because he is strong and has inner qi to protect his body. He also feels that his body is gradually freezing and he can only hold on.

The water was murky and dark, Duan Yunfeng couldn’t see the road ahead clearly, and he didn’t dare to show his head.

Fortunately, this month, he has been stepping on the spot, and he is already familiar with the terrain of the river. Even if he can’t see clearly underwater, he can act in the dark.

When he escaped, he deliberately chose this route, leading to the water gate in the west of the city, avoiding the eyes and ears without passing through the prosperous stretch of the river.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, Duan Yunfeng finally touched the slippery moss beside the water gate wall. After listening to the movement for a while, he confirmed that there were no officers and soldiers around, and then he cautiously emerged from the water.

The water gate here is connected to the city wall, in the shape of an arch, closed by an iron fence, and the river is narrow, allowing only a awning boat to pass through.

As long as you go out, you can escape.

Duan Yunfeng gropingly grasped the edge of an iron fence. There are several loose places at the connection with the city wall. During the month he stepped on the spot, he sneaked at night and loosened it day after day.

He took a deep breath and burst out.

Click!

The corner of the iron fence was broken, revealing a gap, barely able to pass sideways.

Duan Yunfeng’s body rattled as he used his bone-shrinking skills, and the whole person drilled through the gap.

He passed through the water gate, not daring to relax, and hurriedly snorkeled along the river, all the way into the Spring Mountain River, and landed on the bank of a wild forest where no one was around.

Only then did he look back, and what he saw was the general outline of Ning Tianfu in the dark night.

“Out……”

Only at this moment did Duan Yunfeng’s tense nerves relax, only to feel that his clothes were wet and sticking to his body, clammy and cold to his bones.

“Damn, the officers and soldiers supported too fast, I didn’t kill the dog emperor this time, and I almost collapsed inside…”

Duan Yunfeng gritted his teeth, both discouraged by the lack of success, and annoyed by the miss.

He breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his inner emotions, and secretly said:

“Fortunately, I escaped, leaving a useful body, and I can’t miss it again next time…”

Although he failed this time, he did not intend to just give up on assassinating the emperor. .

It’s just that after this battle, the protection around the emperor will inevitably increase, and he knows that there will be no chance in a short time.

Duan Yunfeng’s original plan was that if he missed a hit, he would immediately escape, but at this moment he didn’t know where to go.

“I was masked to assassinate, I didn’t expose Xingzang, and I don’t worry about being wanted by the court… But the world is so big, where should I go now?”

Duan Yunfeng hesitated.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the voice of “chasing soldiers” he heard across the water when he was hiding in a bridge hole.

“I urge Yan Luo Chen Feng… I have heard of this person’s name, he is a good man. This person is in the Jiangchun realm. Although he has committed many crimes, but he did not come to Ningtian Mansion, the court should not put this account on his head. Most of this matter will not involve him. Well, this Chen Feng has been punishing evil all the way, it can be seen that he is also a person who resents the imperial court, why don’t I go to see him? If I can get help from this person, it would be better than me stabbing the dog emperor alone…”

Duan Yunfeng His eyes changed, and he made a decision. He immediately got up, dragged his tired body, and walked forward in the dark.

He didn’t know that Zhou Jing, who was flying in the sky, was watching his back from a distance, watching him disappear into the night.

“It’s somewhat capable…”

Zhou Jing retracted his gaze, not intending to catch up.

He doesn’t know who this person is, where he came from, and the reason for his assassination, but he doesn’t want to catch this assassin right now… No matter what the reason is, a strong man who dares to assassinate the king alone is more valuable than death.

But he didn’t plan to meet this person to make excuses, and he didn’t want to take the risk of keeping this person by his side. He followed quietly in the air all the time.

If the assassin was unfortunate enough to run into the garrison during the escape, he would take action to catch the assassin and use it as a robbery.

But if the assassin didn’t alert the pursuers and fled quietly, he would turn a blind eye and pretend he didn’t notice.

After all, Zhou Jing didn’t really serve the emperor.

Catching the assassin was just the icing on the cake for him.

The reason why he is favored is the support of alchemy and metaphysics. This is the core competitiveness of obtaining the Holy Family, and he will not fall out of favor just because he came to help the fist halfway without finding an assassin… This is the responsibility of the Royal Forest Army, not his.

Moreover, the emperor’s heart is unpredictable, and if he really caught the helpless assassin of the Royal Forest Army, the emperor might be even more fearful and suspicious in his heart while he was rewarded, so it’s hard to say.

Zhou Jing intentionally instructed the assassin to find Chen Feng, but because it was inconvenient to speak in person, he just pretended to mention it unintentionally, hinting at guidance.

As for whether this person will go, that is unknown.

“If he goes to Chen Feng, I can find out his origin…”

Zhou Jing thought about it, pretending to continue flying around the city.

…

the night passed, and the sky gradually turned white.

The news of the emperor’s assassination had already alarmed the entire Ningtian Mansion, especially the powerful and powerful, because of the aggressive arrest of the Imperial Forest Army.

Zhou Jing flew in the sky all night, showing his behavior of searching all night in front of everyone. When the sky was bright, he came down and asked to be holy.

This time, the emperor agreed to the summons and asked the commander of the Imperial Forest Army to go in and report together with Zhou Jing.

In the hall, the emperor was wearing a dragon robe, sitting upright, watching the two enter the door and salute.

“Has the assassin been caught?” The

emperor’s tone was solemn.

The commander of the Royal Forest Army swallowed his saliva and said in a stubborn manner: “Your Majesty, the thief is cunning. We searched all night, but we haven’t found any trace of the thief yet. I have ordered the city to be searched, and the assassin will never escape.”

“I haven’t caught it yet.

Live?” The

emperor was furious, stood up suddenly, pointed at the commander of the Imperial Forest Army and scolded:

“The assassin almost broke into the widow’s bedroom, you failed to surround and kill this man, and let him hide in the city all night, really incompetent!

” Convicted!” The

commander of the Imperial Forest Army knelt down tremblingly.

The emperor ignored him, turned his head to look at Zhou Jing, and asked in a deep voice, “I wonder if the real person has found it?”

Zhou Jing did not change his face: “Ashamed, Pindao used the method of harnessing the wind to patrol the air all night, and he didn’t find it. Here’s where

this person is.” The

emperor frowned: “The real person is so powerful, I thought I would be able to capture it.”

Zhou Jing shook his head and said calmly:

“At the time of the incident, Pindao was not here. The assassin has disappeared, so he can only search in the dark, which is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. It’s a pity that the poor can’t keep guarding the saint, otherwise the thief dared to assassinate, and I have already captured it.” The

emperor pondered for a while, but did not accuse him.

, I know that it is not to blame on the real Yufeng.

At this time, Zhou Jing opened his mouth again and said, “The sage was frightened last night, and the poor Taoist sent someone to send a bottle of heart-suppressing pill. How does the sage feel?

” , I feel a lot better, it is indeed quite effective, and there is a real person.”

Zhou Jing nodded and cupped his hands:

“The Holy High is the real dragon and the emperor, with dragon energy to protect his body, and the heavenly secret of immortals’ dreams should also be on his majesty. In case of misfortune, it can be turned into good luck, and there is no danger. This assassin is going against the sky. .”

Hearing this, the emperor slightly raised his mouth and said with a smile: “What a real person said is good.”

Everyone likes to hear good words, and he has heard a lot of compliments from others, but he is never tired of it.

The emperor calmed down, restrained his smile, waved his hand and said: “The real person will go down first, and then look for the trace of the thief for the widow.”

“The poor road will retreat first.”

Zhou Jing saluted, and then exited the palace gate. Turn away.

Before he took a few steps, he heard the voice of the emperor scolding the commander of the imperial army behind him.

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, pretended not to hear, did not look back, and left on his own.

For the next few days, the garrison continued to hunt down the city.

However, Zhou Jing knew that the assassin had already escaped, these searches were useless, and he was just pretending.

The emperor was assassinated, and the entire Ningtian Mansion was shaking. The news seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread to the nearby states.

…

Jiangchun land boundary, near a certain county.

Chen Feng and his party rested in the forest, eating dry food and chatting casually.

Compared with more than a month ago, the team has grown a lot.

From Luhe to Jiangchun, Chen Feng killed corrupt officials and eliminated bullies all the way. He was chased and besieged by officers and soldiers for many times.

Everywhere he went, there were occasionally poor men who had been bullied and wanted to change their way of life and were willing to follow Chen Feng, but such people were very few.

In addition, there are many people in the green forest who admire Chen Feng, and they come to vote and join in the act of righteousness.

At present, the number of Chen Feng and his party has reached about forty people, like a small group of rogues.

More than half of them are from poor families like Zhang San, and there are about ten Lianjiazi who have wandered into the green forest, and there are some new faces.

However, although Chen Feng’s reputation in the Green Forest is high, the public opinion is mixed.

After all, the killing industry is too heavy. Even if the killing is a bully and a tyrant, there are still many people who are afraid, thinking that he is a lawless murderer, and his name is not enough for children to cry at night.

But there are also people who applaud this kind of behavior. Most of them are poor people who have been oppressed by local gentry. Some people have even followed the trajectory of Chen Feng’s actions and actively sought it out, hoping to invite Chen Feng to visit their hometown.

At this time, there was a sound in the forest, but it was Fang Zhen who was inquiring about the news.

Fang Zhen strode closer and said in a high-spirited tone,

“Brothers, I just heard about a big event. It is said that someone stabbed the king in Ningtian Mansion, and he almost succeeded!

” !”

When everyone heard the words, they were immediately interested and asked again and again.

When Fang Zhen explained it in detail, everyone was amazed.

Guo Haishen couldn’t help but sigh in admiration:

“Assassinating the emperor alone, and still able to retreat, he is also a hero with superb martial arts!”

“It is indeed a person, but unfortunately I don’t know the name, I really want to meet.”

Hong Dingxian nodded again and again.

Zhang San noticed another important point, and said dissatisfiedly: “Hey, the folks suspect that the brothers did this? It’s ridiculous, we don’t have wings, how can we fly overnight. Going to Ningtian Mansion? My husband has something to say, we didn’t do it, we can’t be implicated by others.”

Chen Feng sat on the stone with a golden sword, and snorted when he heard the words:

“Folk rumors, don’t worry about it. It’s just that the imperial court really put the dung pot on my head, what should I be afraid of? It makes my grandfather angry, so why not pluck the head of the dog emperor!”

“Brother is so proud! The imperial court dares to come here, Let’s kill one by one, and two by one!” The

crowd laughed in agreement.

At the same time, on the official road dozens of miles away.

Shen Sanqiu and other twenty-eight arena experts are galloping, getting closer and closer to Chen Feng’s position.
