Chapter 269: The Center of the Power Vortex (Second Update)
Although Cui Hejin didn't say anything, Jiang Zhiluo knew that he got along well with the students and cared about them.
If he learns that because he took leave and did not go to school, the students were injured that day, he will definitely blame himself.
Jiang Zhiluo could only find a way to persuade Mr. Li to give the students a holiday.
Mr. Li said: "It would be better if we take the holiday early. The parents of the students may not be home and busy with other things. If we take the holiday rashly, the parents will not know about it, and the students may not have anywhere to go."
“They will go home now. Maybe there is no one at home.”
“So let everyone prepare their homework in the school, at least there will be a place to stay.”
Hearing what Mr. Li said, Jiang Zhiluo understood that Mr. Li would not give the students a holiday rashly.
If she talks about dreams, she will probably be treated as a monster.
She couldn't take any chances, and besides, no one might believe her.
What's more, as a woman, she cannot interfere in school affairs.
The students’ parents would probably be even more unhappy if they found out.
Jiang Zhiluo also didn’t want to embarrass Mr. Li.
Then, she can only deal with the killer in advance.
Even if they avoid the killer today, if they want to kill Cui Hejin, they will still look for opportunities.
Thinking of the four killers, Jiang Zhiluo's eyes filled with an icy cold light.
After she came out of the school, she put the oxcart in the backyard of Xinglin Hall for temporary storage.
Then he found a secluded place, entered the space, changed his clothes, and went to a remote courtyard in the county.
According to the scene he saw in his sleep, the four killers temporarily lived here.
These four people have already stepped on the ground and are ready to start in the afternoon.
But according to time, these four people are still here at this time.
Jiang Zhiluo used the power of wood to hide her aura and sneaked into the courtyard quietly.
This courtyard is very remote and dilapidated, with no one around, making it suitable for killers to hide themselves.
Jiang Zhiluo was not in a hurry to take action, but sneaked inside first to listen.
She wanted to know who sent them here.
“Boss, when shall we take action?”
“Wait a moment, you should prepare well first.”
"Then Cui Hejin has already had his meridians disabled, and his martial arts skills are all gone. If there is anything to worry about, just kill him directly."
“That’s it, let me tell you, how convenient it would be to just break into their house in the middle of the night and kill them.”
The man called the boss was silent for a moment and said: "You can't enter the village. If it causes panic in the villagers and everyone flees, what will happen to the food?"
“The master sent people to rob them immediately after they collected the grain.”
“It can’t do this or that, so why should we be in a hurry?”
The person called the boss said: "You can't do things recklessly. You must understand the master's intentions and arrangements."
"We went to the school and killed people. There was chaos in the school. We just thought that someone was deliberately causing trouble. No one would suspect that we went to kill Cui Hejin."
"When Cui Hejin dies, the blame will be placed on King Duan's group, and the master will recruit the Yang family with the purpose of avenging Cui Hejin. The Yang family will be used by the master to facilitate the master to gather the southern forces."
“But boss, doesn’t Princess Cha Min also want us to kill that Cui Qingci as well?”
The old man said: "Cui Qingci is fine. As long as Cui Hejin dies, killing the rest of the Cui family is as easy as squeezing an ant to death. But as long as Cui Hejin is alive, and with the help of his grandfather Hongnong Yang, he may be able to recover." ”
"My master is more worried that he will become King Duan. I heard that the young master of the Cui family is as talented and capable as anyone. Even if he has no martial arts, my master is a little afraid."
“Since the master is afraid, I would have killed him long ago.”
"Humph, it's so easy to say. The emperor sent people to watch here before. Does the master dare to act rashly? If he acts rashly, the emperor will also be afraid that the master wants to usurp the throne."
"Yes, our emperor is in his prime, and his masters have grown up. He is afraid that the power in his hands will be lost, so he is naturally very suspicious."
“So our master should do things in a secretive way, and try not to let others grasp the situation or make people suspect anything. This will also make it easier to gather power secretly.”
“That’s right, if you accidentally let the second prince take advantage of the situation, the master’s situation will be much more difficult.”…
These four people expressed their opinions.
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhiluo probably understood something.
Because Cui Hejin also told her some things about the court before.
Princess Cha Min is the princess who is a sibling of the eldest prince’s mother. She is also the one who wooed the Pei family and wanted Cui Qingci to be killed.
Pei Nanchen of the Pei family entered the Imperial Academy, and he was also the appointed consort.
The master mentioned by these four killers is the eldest prince.
The eldest prince wanted to kill Cui Hejin and blame it on King Duan, so as to win over Cui Hejin's grandfather's family, the Hongnong Yang family.
Hongnong’s Yang family is a powerful family in the south, with great power.
Although the emperor found a crime and punished the Cui family, he did not dare to kill them all.
He was also afraid of offending the Yang family.
Because the Yang family is a big family in the south, if they unite with the local big families to cause chaos, the emperor will not be able to live with it.
Moreover, the capital is far away from the south, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is not easy for the emperor to control the southern forces.
Also, they just said that someone was staring at Cui Hejin.
Maybe Cui Hejin and Mrs. Cui didn't dare to do anything before, because they knew someone was watching secretly.
Have the people in the dark withdrawn now?
The man who was secretly sent before was sent by the emperor?
Jiang Zhiluo's face turned pale when she thought of this.
She suddenly realized that they had been at the center of the power vortex.
There is no way to avoid it.
The eldest prince and Princess Cha Min, she should remember this account first.
It's almost the same, and the silver needle in Jiang Yanluo's hand quickly shot out, and took the lives of four people!
These four people want to kill Cui Hejin, so they must die.
“咻咻…”
The silver needle flashed.
"careful!"
Two of the assassins fell to the ground directly, but the boss and another assassin knocked out the silver needle vigilantly.
"who!"
They quickly became alert.
One of them watched the two of them fall to the ground, and angrily took the spiral knife and attacked in the direction of the hidden weapon.
The spiral knife in his hand is a huge disk with several scimitars on it.
As soon as he moved, driven by his internal force, the knife on the weapon rotated back and forth at an extremely fast speed. It could spin off a person's arm if it touched it.
Because of the internal vibration, it drives strong wind.
When he saw Jiang Zhiluo's figure appearing, he shouted angrily, "Seeking death!"
Jiang Zhiluo quickly avoided it, turned around, and the silver needle in her hand flew out like flying flowers and falling rain.
Borrowing the power of wood-type abilities is extremely fast!
"Well…"
The killer who just attacked Jiang Zhiluo, no matter how fast he was or how quickly he evaded, he was still hit by a silver needle, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
“Toxic!”
“Second brother!”
The man called Boss exclaimed and his face changed drastically.
