130: assassin
After the rainy night, some dawn light appeared on the horizon.
Tie Jun County.
One of the three Counties in the Northern Region.
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong was in charge of this County, including its nine Counties.
In the largest Chun Xiao Building among these nine Counties, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong woke up from the bodies of several top courtesans who only sold their art.
"Prince, this is a letter sent by the Second Prince overnight!"
At the door, a retainer presented the letter with both hands.
"News came so quickly?" As if he already knew something, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong yawned and took the letter.
After reading the contents of the letter line by line, the smile on his face could no longer be hidden.
"As expected, he is indeed the chess piece I value the most!"
Putting on his clothes, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong took a deep breath: "Next, it's time to remove the last obstacle."
"The throne is within reach."
...
What is the largest assassin organization in Sheng Country?
Some say it's the Blood Spring organization; as long as the money is in place, they can even kill the Emperor!
Some say it's the Mad Demon organization; despite having only a few dozen members, each one's strength exceeds Grade A!
Which one is the most terrifying assassin organization in the end? This is a rather intriguing question.
And now.
In the main hall of the Tie Jun County City Lord's Mansion.
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, sitting on the high seat, had more than forty assassins kneeling before him.
Each of these more than forty assassins emanated extremely powerful energy fluctuations!
If they were to appear, all the assassins in Sheng Country would surely yield; they would be the undisputed number one assassin organization!
However.
These assassins, to Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, were merely numbered killing machines.
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong looked at the people below and couldn't help but sigh at the methods of his cheap mother.
For a woman, in this era, to pour half her life's effort into cultivating such a terrifying assassination organization for the original owner was truly not easy.
"Have you clearly heard the task I assigned you?"
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, from his high seat, spoke sternly to the people below.
"We heard clearly, Lord!"
Forty assassins, their voices like one person, answered crisply and clearly.
"Since that's the case, I hope all of you complete the task today."
"Yes, Lord!"
As the words fell.
These more than forty people, like phantoms, left one after another to carry out the tasks assigned by Third Prince Sheng Tianlong.
In the end.
When the last two female assassins in the main hall were about to leave, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong spoke up: "You two don't need to go."
The two women in the main hall had almost identical appearances.
They were wearing distinct black and white skirts respectively; just standing quietly, they were a beautiful sight.
After Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's voice appeared, among the two women, the younger sister wearing the white skirt instantly furrowed her brow.
And the older Sister, Hei Sha, also asked, slightly puzzled: "Lord, why?"
"Others are enough. If you go, you might encounter danger."
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong walked down from the high platform, stepping closer to the Black and White Twin Shas.
"Lord is underestimating us. Assassinating other Princes, such tasks are easy for us."
"Oh?" Third Prince Sheng Tianlong reached out with a smile, wanting to lift Hei Sha's chin.
The other party retreated half a step, her expression unchanged.
Seeing this.
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong was instead piqued with interest: "I remember, your last assassination mission failed, didn't it?"
These words made Hei Sha fall silent, then she said: "Among the Princes you assigned to be assassinated today, Sheng Changge is included. Our target today is also him!"
"Is that what you think?"
"This subordinate dares not deceive!"
"Hahaha, good. This Prince will give you another chance to assassinate Sheng Changge!" Third Prince Sheng Tianlong clapped his hands, then pointed to White Sha, who had been silent beside her: "But she needs to stay here."
"If you don't complete the task, your younger sister will accompany me for tea and chat tomorrow night."
"Don't even think about it, you ""Tu""!" White Sha's pretty face was full of anger.
"Shut up!" Hei Sha snapped.
These words made White Sha pout, and her eyes began to get misty again.
"Prince, isn't such a request a bit excessive?"
After reprimanding White Sha, Hei Sha turned to ask Third Prince Sheng Tianlong.
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong was her Lord, that was true, but White Sha was also her inverse scale.
Looking at the sisters before him, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong leaned slightly: "You're worried about this request? It seems you're still not completely confident in completing the task."
"This subordinate is completely confident."
"Then go bring Sheng Changge's corpse back! Don't negotiate with me until the task is completed!" The suddenly raised tone made White Sha beside her tremble slightly.
Hei Sha cupped her hands: "Please await good news, Lord. In the meantime, please do not do anything excessive to my younger sister."
Understanding that she couldn't make Third Prince Sheng Tianlong concede at all, Hei Sha left this sentence behind and turned to leave.
Looking at the resolutely departing Hei Sha, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's lips curled up: "Only this kind of woman is worthy of Me."
...
Han Shan County.
On an empty grassland, the Seventh Prince Sheng Gu Ke led a dozen cavalrymen, riding horses to chase two agile grassland wolves.
The wolves were fast, but in a straight sprint, they were clearly no match for horses.
As the distance closed in, Sheng Gu Ke picked up the longbow on his horse.
Pulling the bowstring taut, an arrow instantly flew out from Sheng Gu Ke's hand!
However.
On the bumpy saddle, his aim was clearly not very good.
The arrow even landed several meters away from the two wolves.
"Damn it!" Looking at the wolves that fled in fright, the Seventh Prince's irritable nature was fully revealed.
"Prince, it's mealtime. How about we come back after eating?"
The Han Shan County County Magistrate beside him asked tentatively.
Originally, he thought the Prince from the Capital would be a Great Power with great talent. After all, being a Prince, his perspective would surely be different from people from a remote place like theirs.
What made the Han Shan County County Magistrate helpless was this.
The twenty-something Seventh Prince before him seemed like a Child.
He was extremely playful and had a strong possessive desire!
He had only been in Han Shan County for one day, and the City Lord's wife had already been slept with by him!
Sending him to the battlefield to train his courage and fight the Xiongnu was completely a joke!
"Eat?" Glancing sideways at the old fellow beside him whose name he couldn't recall, Sheng Gu Ke pointed at the two wolves in the distance and roared: "Go help this Prince hunt those two wolves back! This Prince will eat those two wolves for lunch!"
"If you can't hunt them, this Prince will kill you!"
This single conversation directly bewildered the County Magistrate of Han Shan County.
He had only kindly reminded him that it was time to eat...
"What are you standing there for? Do you want this Prince to repeat myself?" Sheng Gu Ke's voice was cold.
Seeing this, the County Magistrate dared not delay and spurred his horse to chase the two grassland wolves in the distance!
"And you guys!" Turning his head to see the dozen cavalrymen behind him, Sheng Gu Ke scolded: "You go too! Within half an hour, this Prince wants to see the corpses of those two wolves!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The dozen cavalry retainers immediately nodded in fear.
Looking at his subordinates urging their horses to chase the two wolves, a smile of interest appeared on Sheng Gu Ke's face.
It was also while he was leisurely watching this great spectacle of people chasing wolves.
A carrier pigeon flew from the horizon.
Seeing this carrier pigeon, Sheng Gu Ke did not delay.
He took down the letter brought by the carrier pigeon.
As expected, the letter was sent by his fourth imperial brother.
As the envelope was opened, the information within came into view.
'Run quickly! Third Brother has gone mad, he wants to kill all of us Princes!'
