"Tell your workers to hurry up! Why didn't you prepare the coffins in the shop? You still need my lord to rush you! "
A subordinate with arched eyebrows scolded fiercely.
In the past, he would always push Zhao Xuan's orders if he could and delay them if he couldn't. In any case, he had already understood this Shangguan's "easy to bully" personality.
But the situation was different now.
Old Zhang apologized profusely. "It's really a delicate job. Time is of the essence. I'll be right there, right there! "
Ever since the fall of the Yang Kingdom, there were fewer and fewer people in the yamen who didn't have eyes.
Zhao Xuan's rank was not low after all. Now that the problem of trust had been solved, it was only a matter of time before he was promoted. Anyone with eyes could see it clearly.
After scolding the coffin shop owner, the subordinate with arched eyebrows said fawningly, "Lord, why don't you go back and rest first? I'll take care of things here. I know what you want. There won't be any problems! "
Zhao Xuan was used to doing things himself, but this time, because of his uneasiness, he subconsciously wanted to agree.
"They're coming, they're coming!" The coffin shop owner, Old Zhang, shouted.
Zhao Xuan stopped and looked over.
From the end of the street, two young men were carrying the coffin and walking over with steady footsteps. The coffin itself was covered with a thick cloth and could not easily be seen. Only the rough outline could be seen.
Zhao Xuan had been to the Little Link Bridge countless times. He was very familiar with everything here.
Whose craftsmanship was better, whose goods were worse, who was more generous, how long the shop had been in business …
Zhao Xuan's gaze casually swept across the coffin shop in front of him. He saw the middle-aged man in the paper figurine shop with his head lowered looking up at him.
He seemed to be the nephew of the original shop owner. What was it again? Zhao Xuan had some impression of him.
Thus, he gave him an amiable and reserved smile.
That person also smiled.
"His smile is quite ugly," Zhao Xuan thought.
Then, the sky suddenly darkened.
It wasn't the sky that darkened. It was the "sky" within the Little Link Bridge that darkened.
Zhao Xuan quickly made a judgment based on the strength of the outer building realm.
The subordinates who followed him fell to the ground one after another. As they fell to the ground.
At the same time, he heard the sound of wind.
The wind seemed to come out of a crack and whimpered.
He felt cold.
Extremely cold.
His entire body almost began to tremble.
The five Inner Palaces rumbled and rotated, and a huge amount of Dao Energy surged. At the same time, he called out to his three Sacred Buildings from afar, and he was about to break free from all of this.
Then, he saw the middle-aged man who was smiling at him stand up.
He stood up, and with just one step, he was already in front of him. His honest face was covered with a mask at some point in time. It was a mask that was as black as ink, with a white door painted on the forehead and words written in blood written on the door.
Those three words were cold and cruel. They were written: Emperor Song!
King Songdi of Hell!
Zhao Xuan was about to leave when he suddenly realized that his body had stiffened.
Who had interfered with his perception?
From left, right, front, and back, there was a biting cold killing intent approaching at the same time.
Killer move erupted!
It was impossible to count how many Killing techniques had been unleashed at the same time.
Five people!
Zhao Xuan only had this thought in his mind before his consciousness sank into the darkness.
I'm going to die …
Was he going to die?
He didn't know why.
He let out a long sigh.
In the ninth month of the 54th year of the Yuanfeng Era of the Qi Dynasty, the Deputy Chief of Hengyang of the former Yang Country (who handled the affairs of the capital city on behalf of the Yang Emperor), an Outer Building cultivator and the current Minister of Rites of the Qi Dynasty, Zhao Xuan, was assassinated at the Little Lianqiao.
He only left this world with a long sigh.
…
…
The carriage was still on the way back to the residence, and the three of them had already sensed the commotion in the crowd.
Jiang Wang lifted the curtain on the left and saw figures flying in the sky.
Linzi was the capital city of the Qi Dynasty. Under normal circumstances, only the official forces were allowed to fly.
Among the people flying in the sky, there were armored warriors and constables in standard black clothes …
Something had happened!
This was the first thought that came to Jiang Wang's mind.
Such a huge commotion rarely occurred in Linzi. At least, it was the first time he had seen such a scene since he came to Linzi.
He immediately thought of the Doorless Hell.
Chung Geng Sheng looked out from the window on the other side of the carriage and muttered to himself, "The Imperial Guards and the Northern Yamen have been mobilized!"
Suddenly, he caught on to something.
"The Commandant of the Northern Yamen, Zheng Shi, is personally going out!"
He became excited and pulled back his head. He lifted the curtain and ordered, "Quickly find out what happened!"
The carriage driver didn't say anything. He let go of the reins and dived into the crowd.
Chung Geng Sheng personally held the reins and shook the carriage, "Return to the residence!"
In fact, he was so anxious that he didn't even want the carriage.
But the closer it was to this moment, the more cautious he had to be.
It was best to maintain a normal state of shock and vigilance.
…
The target of the Hell was actually the Minister of Rites, Zhao Xuan!
Depending on the level of the situation, the official forces in Linzi City had different reaction times.
When it involved extraordinary power, as long as the target was clear, the Northern Yamen could project the corresponding extraordinary power to any location in Linzi City except the imperial palace.
Zhao Xuan was a fourth-rank official. The intensity of the battle involved in the attack on an official of this rank and strength could trigger a very high level response from Linzi.
The moment the battle at the Little Bridge broke out, it was sensed.
After receiving the alarm, the Commandant of the Northern Yamen, Zheng Shi, personally went out. He arrived at the Little Bridge in less than twenty breaths of time.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Xuan, a dignified Outer Building expert, couldn't even last three breaths!
Beside his corpse was the imprint of the Hell's Door — a white door.
Zheng Shi quickly made a judgment. There were at least five "Yama" from the Hell's Door at the scene. In other words, there were at least five Outer Building assassins in Linzi.
He immediately ordered the five closest city gates to be sealed.
As the Commandant of the Northern Yamen, he only had the authority to close five of Linzi's 108 city gates at the same time.
Zheng Shi was very clear that only by immediately closing the great formation, sealing off the entire city, and inviting a high level power to suppress the situation could they guarantee that the damage caused by five Outer Building experts would be minimized.
However, closing the great formation and sealing off the entire city required the approval of at least one minister. The Commandant of the Northern Yamen did not have this authority.
He quickly applied for an order from the Political Affairs Hall. The Right Minister on duty also approved it as quickly as possible. But the precious twenty breaths of time had already passed.
The assassins from the Hell's Door fled without a trace.
For this assassination, the Hell's Door sent out more than five "Yama". They surrounded and killed Zhao Xuan in three breaths of time, and then fled Linzi in less than ten breaths of time.
The meticulousness of the plan, the precision of the timing, and the swiftness of the action shocked the world!
If the Hell's Door was famous in the Eastern Region for killing the Qu Kingdom's border general, then this operation in the Qi capital undoubtedly made the Hell's Door famous throughout the world!
The great Da Qi was not something a small country like the Qu Kingdom could compare to. It was one of the world's overlords.
But in this incident, it had lost all face!
The location of the incident was the Little Bridge, the famous White Matter Street of Linzi. However, the location was relatively remote. This was one of the reasons why the response was not timely enough.
The most important reason was that nothing had happened in Linzi for a long time.
People had almost ignored this possibility!
There were many strong men in this huge city who could kill a few assassins. But when something happened, the first thing they thought of was the Imperial Palace. Top-level strong men guarded all the important places and could not be easily moved. They were afraid of creating a diversion.
By the time the Northern Government communicated with the Political Affairs Hall and arranged for the defense to be transferred, the assassins had already fled.
Linzi's response was already very fast. Zheng Shi even skipped many steps and directly communicated with the Right Minister. However, when it involved strong men of the Divine Realm or higher, a slight move in one part would affect the whole situation. This was also one of the reasons why Chongxuan and Chu Liang did not agree to go out of the city to deal with Su She.
The Hell's Door was well prepared. After one successful strike, he immediately fled.
The Northern Government Commandant Zheng Shi initially determined that this case was the revenge of the remnants of the Yang Court. He submitted a letter of apology to the Qi Emperor and resigned from the position of Northern Government Commandant.
The Qi Emperor did not allow him to redeem himself. He was in charge of capturing and killing the assassins from the Hell's Door and the remnants of the Yang Court behind the assassins. The words "at all costs" were rarely used. This gave Zheng Shi a lot of trust and power.
In the vast Eastern Region, the storm had arrived.
