Chapter 856 - 856 Su Qiutang’s Assassination
Chapter 856 Su Qiutang’s Assassination
It stopped at the dot.
The Flaming Thunder Bead was improved on the basis of the Sky Shaking Thunder. The Ministry of Works was stumped by the Sky Shaking Powder. After Zhang Ronghua took over, he developed it and replaced it with Flaming Stone Powder, which reduced its size and increased its power. Even the consumption of materials was reduced by two-thirds. This was a top secret, and people who did not come into contact with it did not know.
Qian An’s identity was special. He had heard a little about it, but he didn’t know much. Coincidentally, the Flame Stone Powder was among them.
There were no eternal enemies, only interests!
Qian An’s expression softened. He was still at loggerheads just now. When he came, he had decided to kill him after getting the item. Now, he was like an old friend of many years. He patted the other party’s shoulder.” What are you talking about, brother?” To be able to abandon darkness and join the light and submit to Great Shang, it was indeed wise! Even if I don’t say anything, I’ll take you with me.”
“When we reach Great Shang, we will definitely follow Brother Qian’s lead.”
They discussed.
Old Lu said seriously,” The Pan family’s son despises this shabby and dirty place. The environment is bad, and he rarely comes back. Don’t worry about being discovered!” By the time he returns, we’ll have already left. It doesn’t matter if the truth is exposed. The most important thing now is to meet the people of the Shang Dynasty and borrow their hands to leave the capital.”
“Let’s go!” Qian An agreed.
They got up from their chairs and opened the door. The three of them held umbrellas and walked out.
The Hall of Ten Thousand Books.
Zhang Ronghua put down the book in his hand and raised his palm to stretch his body. A series of thunderous sounds rang out. After reading for a day, he had learned many types of books and understood more secrets. His accumulation had increased by a little. Looking at the remaining books, there were countless of them. The little he had read was only the tip of the iceberg. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. When he finished reading all of them, his foundation would reach a terrifying level.
He walked to the hall.
Ding Yi was still cultivating the Twelve Heaven Trampling Steps. Compared to the morning, he had advanced a bit. At this speed, he would be able to reach the minor success of the second realm in a while.
She didn’t rush him. She crossed her arms and stood at the side, watching quietly.
After one round.
” What?” Ding Yi stopped in a flash and asked,” You’re losing value so quickly?”
“Focus on one thing. Time passes very quickly. It shows that you’ve put in a lot of effort,” said Zhang Ronghua.
“Brother, is Chen Youcai treating us later?”
” Ping Bo had such intentions, but I rejected him. Now is not the time. Let’s talk about it later.”
“Yes.” Ding Yi replied.
He opened the door.
The torrential rain continued to fall, mixing with the strong wind and becoming more and more intense. As the rain fell on the ground, the raindrops shattered and a loud sound was heard.
It was clearly evening, but in the bad weather, their vision was blurry. It was as if they could not see their fingers. The visibility was very low.
Sima handed over two umbrellas.
He took the umbrella and opened it.
“Let’s go!” Zhang Ronghua called out.
He walked out of the palace with Ding Yi following behind him. The two of them used their internal strength to protect their bodies and umbrellas, preventing them from being knocked over. Some of the rain fell on the ground, but it did not wet the official robes.
At the Vermillion Bird Sect.
Uncle Ding had been waiting in the carriage for a long time. The two of them stopped at the city gate.
“Brother, do you want me to send you back?” asked Ding Yi.
“No need!” Zhang Ronghua shook his head. Be careful on the road.”
“You too!”
Ding Yi got into the car and left.
After watching Changping’s carriage disappear, Zhang Ronghua left the city gate without delay and walked towards his home in Vermilion Bird Lane.
Xiuchun Avenue.
It rained heavily for the whole day. There were not many people during the day, and it was even more so at night. There was not even a ghost to be seen.
But at this moment.
A middle-aged lady wearing a long golden dress with a golden phoenix embroidered on the chest, covering her arms and calves, not revealing a single bit. She wore expensive hairpins, jewelry, and earrings, and held an umbrella as she appeared. When she got close, she could clearly see that it was a golden phoenix.
Two days ago.
When the Crown Prince received the news that the Snow Stone Garden had been crippled, everything had been confiscated, and he had even been expelled from the Phoenix Guards, he guessed that it might be a trap. His aunt deliberately did not kill her, wanting to obtain the secret that could not be told. However, she was extremely important to him. After staying in the Phoenix Guards for so long, she might know something. If he could get her, even if he could not cause any harm to them, he would accumulate more and more. When he had more and more “things” in his hands, it would be time to lay his cards on the table and completely control the situation.
There was a certain degree of danger in doing so. It was very likely that he would fall into it. However, he had no choice. If he did not prepare, once something happened to his father and he succeeded to the throne, it would be too late to turn the tables.
Compared to the gains, this little sacrifice was completely within the acceptable range.
They guessed that the Eastern Palace was under their surveillance and ordered people to investigate carefully, but the people they sent out were all like stones sinking into the sea.
The Crown Prince knew that they had all been killed by his aunt’s men, so he didn’t retreat. After thinking about it, he let Jin Feng try. With her strength, even if she couldn’t defeat them, she could still retreat calmly.
They followed the clues and found the Snow Stone Garden. Before they could interrogate them, the assassins hidden in the dark appeared. After a battle, Jin Feng killed them.
He took the Snow Stone Garden away and stopped at a secret place to ask about the secrets of the Phoenix Guards. That night, he expressed his feelings and was willing to give up everything for Zhang Ronghua. Even if he betrayed the Phoenix Guards, he was still rejected. From that moment on, his heart died.
If he wasn’t even afraid of death, why would he be afraid of torture?
No matter how hard Jin Feng interrogated her, she did not get any useful information. Helpless, she had to let her go and rush back to the capital to report. That was how this scene happened.
A massive aura spread out, causing the wind and rain to stop, unable to fall. A cold and murderous aura spread out as a black figure walked over. He wore a black robe, revealing only his eyes and holding an umbrella. As he appeared, the pressure he gave off became even stronger. It was as if he was carrying two mountains on his back, making it difficult for people to breathe.
