Chapter 028: Assassin
"Mr. Li Yuan, the doctor of Chu State, arrived - present a treasure of a night pearl and a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants to celebrate the Master's joy of moving to the house."
"Han Han Fei is here - a couple of Yu Ruyi to celebrate the Master's joy of moving home."
"Mr. Guo Kaiguo, the doctor of Zhao State, came with his daughter - offering a pair of precious blood jade and a hundred golden leaves to celebrate the Master's joy of moving to the house."
"Mr. Guan Zhongxie, Qin State, is here..."
As time goes by, people come to express their congratulations one after another. Among the congratulations are envoys from various countries, but more are ministers of Zhao. After all, Piaomiao Villa is located in the territory of Zhao.
When it was noon, the entire Piaomiao Villa was crowded, and the thirty tables of banquets were already full.
But even so, people are still coming to congratulate you.
When Feng Rui saw this, he kept smiling bitterly in his heart. He obviously underestimated his influence, or underestimated the temptation of Xianlu and nectar. There were many people coming to the door to congratulate him beyond his expectations.
"The king is here..."
To everyone's expectations, King Zhao actually arrived in person!
The arrival of King Zhao shocked Li Yuan, Guan Zhongxie and others. They did not expect that King Zhao, as the king of a country, would come to congratulate him in person.
But because of this, we can see how much King Zhao attaches great importance to Master Taixuan, and such favors are truly enviable.
A group of people walked into Piaomiao Villa in a mighty manner. The leader was King Zhao. Among them, there were many ministers of Zhao State, such as Zhao Mu, Marquis of Julu, General Li Mu, etc.
Seeing that King Zhao was coming to the door in person, Feng Rui quickly said to the guests that he had lost his companionship and walked to the door to greet King Zhao in person.
"The king is here, and the humble house is full of glory..."
"Haha--I am here to congratulate the master on his move. I wonder if the master is still satisfied with the villa?"
In order to build Piaomiao Villa, King Zhao really put his heart into it. After all, it was definitely not an easy task to build such a huge villa in just one month.
Feng Rui smiled slightly when he heard this. He did not answer positively, but expressed his feelings.
"You treat me with my country's men, and I will report it to you."
"Ha ha--"
When King Zhao heard this, he felt relieved. He attached such importance to Feng Rui and even tried his best to waste money and summoned thousands of migrant workers to work day and night. Isn’t it just Feng Rui’s words?
King Zhao calmed down his smile and said seriously: "As long as I am in power for one day, I will not let down my master!"
When everyone heard King Zhao's words, their faces were extremely complicated, even Li Mu was the same. After counting the dynasties and generations, how many people could get such favor?
"Um--"
Suddenly, Feng Rui frowned slightly, and a hint of chill flashed in his eyes.
Feng Rui was so quick that he could not hide his ears. He reached out and grabbed King Zhao's shoulder, and flew back ten meters in an instant with King Zhao. At the moment when the two figures disappeared, more than ten sharp arrows roared and shot at the place where they were originally standing.
Looking at the arrow that was trembling and flickering with a faint cold light, this was obviously not an ordinary arrow feather, and the arrow was obviously stained with highly poisonous.
"Come, protect the car."
"Catch the assassin!"
"Protect the King..."
The sudden assassination incident shocked everyone present. No one expected that in Piaomiao Villa, someone would dare to blatantly assassinate King Zhao.
And with Li Mu's stern shout, a group of guards hurriedly protected King Zhao in the middle.
"snort!"
Feng Rui suddenly snorted coldly. Under his spiritual sense, there were ten assassins five hundred meters away. Perhaps because of the assassination failed, the ten assassins were preparing to retreat.
Feng Rui was extremely angry. Someone dared to assassinate him. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, King Zhao would have been dead and he would have been seriously injured.
Feng Rui's figure shook and disappeared in an instant. When Feng Rui appeared again, he had appeared five hundred meters away. Feng Rui waved his right hand and ten invisible wind blades burst out, and the crossbows in the hands of the ten assassins suddenly broke.
At this time, Li Mu arrived with a group of guards and directly subdued the ten assassins.
"Who are you?"
Faced with Li Mu's inquiry, no one of the ten assassins spoke, and these people were obviously dead soldiers.
"Let me come!"
Feng Rui walked to an assassin and saw a faint light flashing in his eyes, staring at the eyes of one of the dead soldiers. Feng Rui's voice was low and strange, like a magic sound coming from the underground abyss.
"Who are you? Who sent you to assassinate me and King Zhao?"
"We're waiting... We're the subordinates of the Julu Marquis Zhao, who sent us to assassinate the master and the King of Zhao..."
The assassin who looked at Feng Rui first struggled, then his eyes were dull and his expression was stupid and answered Feng Rui's question.
In fact, Feng Rui did not use any means, he just hypnotized the assassin. After all, with Feng Rui's huge spiritual consciousness, it is still very easy to hypnotize an ordinary person.
Everyone present had a change in expression. It turned out that Zhao Mu sent someone to assassinate King Zhao and his master. Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhao Mu next to King Zhao, and Li Mu even pulled out his sword and put it on Zhao Mu's neck.
"Why do you assassinate the king and the master?"
"Hmph! You kill me! I am just the substitute of the Marquis. The Marquis has already summoned the troops. Now the entire Piaomiao Peak has been surrounded by ten thousand troops. I just wait to get rid of you, those who are in the way. The entire Zhao State will be under the control of the Marquis. What's the harm in dying for the Marquis' great cause? I'm waiting for you underground...haha..."
The substitute is almost exactly the same as Zhao Mu, and even the temperament is no different. The substitute's words undoubtedly confirm that the assassin just now was indeed sent by Zhao Mu, and the purpose is to assassinate King Zhao and the master.
Feng Rui vaguely understood why Zhao Mu wanted to kill him, it was nothing more than that he blocked Zhao Mu's way.
"Zhao Mu...he is so brave..."
King Zhao's face turned pale at this time. He obviously did not expect that Zhao Mu, who had always trusted him, would send dead soldiers to assassinate him.
Moreover, Zhao Mu had a very great ambition and was preparing to catch everyone present in one go. Once King Zhao and Li Mu died, Zhao Mu might be able to usurp the throne successfully.
"There is one thing that the king may not know yet. In fact, Zhao Mu is the illegitimate son of Chunshenjun of Chu. Chunshenjun secretly sent him to lurk in Zhao for many years, with the purpose of subverting the power of Zhao. However, I have no evidence, so I have never reported it to the king..."
"ah……"
The news was so shocking. At least no one present could have thought that Zhao Mu would be Chunshenjun's illegitimate son.
Feng Rui pondered for a moment and asked King Zhao.
"Master, I want to verify something from the Master!"
"Master, please tell me."
"Did the king disclose the secret recipe I gave to the king? Did the king reveal it to Zhao Mu?"
"Well……"
King Zhao looked embarrassed when he heard this. Feng Rui couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw this. Needless to say, he knew that King Zhao must have revealed it to Zhao Mu. This may also be the reason why Zhao Mu assassinated him.
Before Feng Rui appeared, Zhao Mu was undoubtedly one person, but after Feng Rui became the master of Zhao State, it obviously aroused Zhao Mu's fear. In addition, Zhao Mu got the secret recipe of Xianlu Niu Sauce, so he had the idea of getting rid of Feng Rui. He just didn't know whether the mastermind was Zhao Mu himself or Chunshen Jun of Chu State?
However, what Zhao Mu absolutely could not have imagined was that even if he got the secret recipe, he would definitely not be able to refine elixirs, or the immortal dew nectar.
