When Qi Ning heard the assassin's voice, he felt a shiver in his heart, but he said calmly: "The leaves are hidden in the ground, and the flying cicadas are chirping in the sky. Koga is illusory, and Iga is nourished by water and fire...!"
The assassin's face changed drastically. Qining looked at his face and knew that this person understood what he was saying. He suddenly understood and sneered: "So you are a flying cicada secret ninja!"
The assassin blurted out "Nani", and the others had not yet reacted, but Qi Ning immediately realized that the opponent was a Fuso man. The appearance of the Fuso assassin on this iron island really surprised Qi Ning.
Although he knew that the assassin was from Fuso, Qining was not sure that the assassin was the flying cicada secret ninja he had met before.
There are many disputes in the island country of Fuso. In addition to the flying cicada secret ninja who had no choice but to flee overseas, there were also vagabonds who stayed away from Fuso after being defeated.
He still vividly remembered the flying cicada secret ninja who was chasing the young emperor along the way. He also remembered that the palace swordsman Xiang Tianbei once said these words. He kept them in his heart. He said them inadvertently at this time because he wanted to test the other party. Seeing the other person's color change, he knew that the other person was most likely a flying cicada secret ninja.
The assassin looked coldly, growled, kicked off his feet, and rushed towards Qi Ning again. Wu Dalin was saved by Qi Ning once, and he was grateful. At this time, without thinking too much, he waved his sword to meet him.
Qining raised his arm and saw two three-star darts piercing his arm, and blood spilled out. These three-star darts were extremely small, but extremely sharp. They were the favorite hidden weapons of ninjas, but ordinary people couldn't recognize them at all.
Qining knew that if the other party was a ninja, the three-star dart must have been impregnated with poison. The poisons used by ninjas were extremely poisonous and would seal their throats when they saw blood. When the other party saw that he had been hit by the dart, he thought he had succeeded, but he saw that he had nothing The reaction was naturally one of surprise.
Ninjas are good at tracking and assassinating, but they often fail in head-to-head confrontations. At this time, Wu Dalin used his sword repeatedly, and the ninja was forced to retreat. He was unable to fight back. Other soldiers had already surrounded him, and it was difficult for the ninja to gain wings. fly.
Wu Dalin suddenly heard a low roar, and with a flash of the sword, the sword was already placed on the assassin's neck. The assassin's face was stern. Wu Dalin said coldly: "Who else is the accomplice? If I don't tell you, I will kill you immediately."
The assassin said in somewhat jerky words: "No threat...!" Wu Dalin tightened his cheeks and felt that something was not good. In the blink of an eye, the assassin had already slumped down, and black blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Wu Dalin knelt down and reached out to feel his breath. Qining had already said in a deep voice: "Don't touch him!"
Wu Dalin immediately retracted his outstretched hand, turned around, and saw Qining pulling out the three-star dart from his arm. He hurriedly stepped forward and said worriedly: "Master Marquis, this assassin's hidden weapon must be poisonous. You...!" In his heart! He knew that if Qi Ning hadn't helped him use the hidden weapon just now, the two hidden weapons would have been pierced into his forehead. Even if the hidden weapons were non-toxic, he would still be a corpse now.
Qi Ning waved his hand, indicating that it was okay. Wu Dalin thought of something and hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from his arms and said: "Master Marquis, there is a golden sore medicine here...!"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "I have it on me, just apply it on for me."
Wu Dalin knew that it was most important to deal with Qi Ning's wounds at this time, so he ordered the soldiers to watch the group of people first. Qi Ning had already walked to the side, lifted up his sleeves, and took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Wu Dalin.
Qining's golden sore medicine was a gift from Tang Nuo, and its efficacy was certainly not comparable to Wu Dalin's medicine.
Wu Dalin saw two wounds on Qining's arm. The wounds were not big, but there was blood on the sides. He knew that if the three-star dart was poisonous, the color of the blood flowing out would be unusual, and the edges of the wounds did not appear to be swollen. He was heartbroken. I felt strange, wondering if there was no poison on the three-star dart
He asked for water and helped Qining clean the wound first, then applied the medicine on the wound and tied it with a clean belt. Wu Dalin was a man who had walked off the battlefield, but he treated the wound neatly.
He saw Qi Ning's calm expression when the wound was being treated, and he felt even more admiration in his heart. After the wound was taken care of, he said gratefully: "Master Hou, the general is incompetent, causing the noble body of the Marquis to be injured for the general. The general... !”
Qi Ning is one of the hereditary princes of the empire, with a noble status, but today he blocked a hidden weapon for Wu Dalin, and even saw blood. Not only was Wu Dalin burst into tears with gratitude, but the soldiers around him also admired him when they saw it, thinking to himself that not only did the young prince have no trace of It is really rare for someone to be so arrogant towards his subordinates.
"Don't talk about that." Qi Ning waved his hand, stood up, and frowned: "These two assassins are Fuso ninjas. It turns out that the Jiang family has collusion with the Fuso people."
He downplayed the rescue incident, which showed his magnanimity. Wu Dalin knew that he would not thank you for his kindness, so he did not say more and said: "Master Marquis, the Jiang family has lived in the East China Sea for a long time and dealt with the sea. There are often Fusang people on the sea. They collude with each other." It’s not a weird thing to be together.”
Qi Ning nodded slightly. Although he didn't say anything, he was thinking about it in his heart.
The two assassins had just made a surprise attack, and their posture was obviously to capture Qi Ning in the chaos. Unfortunately, they overestimated their own capabilities and died one after another. However, Qin Ning had already confirmed their identities, and they were none other than Fei Chan Mi Nin.
The first time Qining met the Feichan Minin was on the way to the capital, when he encountered a group of Feichan Minin who were chasing the young Emperor Longtai, who was still the crown prince at the time.
Things have changed so quickly that Qining has not really thought about who was behind those ninjas' instructions to assassinate the little emperor.
At that time, the late Emperor of Chu was critically ill, the situation was tense, and undercurrents were surging. There were too many people who wanted to murder the prince. There were various possibilities as to who ordered those ninjas. Qining even suspected that it was someone from Dong Qi who was behind it. .
After all, Dong Qi is located on the bank of the East China Sea, and has the easiest contact with the Fuso people living overseas. If the Fuso ninjas like falling leaves are hired by Dong Qi to survive, it will naturally be a dream, and in that situation, the assassination of Chu The crown prince, regardless of whether there are other motives behind it, can at least plunge the Chu State into greater turmoil.
Today, when he met Fei Chan Mi Nin on Iron Island, Qi Ning suddenly thought, could it be that the person behind the original intention to assassinate Long Tai was actually the Jiang family of Donghai
This is not impossible.
The biggest wish of the Jiang family is to split the East China Sea and establish a separate kingdom. If Chu falls into turmoil, the Jiang family will naturally have the opportunity to make trouble in the East China Sea, including Lu Shanghe in Xichuan, who will also take advantage of the situation to cause trouble.
But Qining knew in his heart that if there was an expert behind Jiang Mantian, Jiang Mantian and Lu Shanghe would naturally be the pawns in that person's plan, and using the Fei Chan secret ninja to assassinate the prince of Chu was naturally part of the plan.
Qi Ning only felt that so far, he seemed to have been dealing with the force behind the scenes. Unknowingly, he had ruined the other party's plans several times.
"Master Marquis, I'm afraid there are assassins among this group of people." After taking care of Qi Ning's injury, Wu Dalin cast a murderous look at the group of supervisors and whispered: "This group of people are helping the evildoers, and they have been Are you working for the Jiang family...?"
Qi Ning knew what he meant and whispered: "Take these people into custody first, investigate them carefully later, and then deal with them."
Wu Dalin raised his hand and said yes, and then said to Qining: "Master Marquis, do you want to go to the warehouse to have a look?"
Qi Ning knew that this Iron Island, as one of the Jiang family's secret rebellion bases, must also hide a lot of supplies. He nodded slightly and Wu Dalin led the way. Because he had just been assassinated, several guards who followed Qin Ning from the capital were not there. Without hesitation, he followed Qining.
After Wu Dalin led his troops to conquer Iron Island, he also knew the layout inside in advance. Now he was familiar with the road. He led Qining to a stone gate. He stretched out his hand and pressed a protruding rock on the stone wall. The stone gate opened with a creak, and there was already a stone door inside. It was as bright as day, and there were numerous fire pillars on the surrounding rock walls. Before Qining went in, he saw that it was filled with wooden boxes. It was very similar to the warehouses he saw on Haifeng Island, but compared with Haifeng Island. The underground warehouse here is obviously much smaller, but the boxes are piled up like mountains.
"Master Marquis, in addition to storing a large number of weapons, there are also many treasures of gold and silver." Wu Dalin pointed to the left and said: "The alley boxes here are all silver ingots, and there are gold nails inside. The one closest to the inside The pile is full of rare treasures and is worth a lot of money.”
Qining sighed: "The Jiang family has been in the East China Sea for many years. When the Golden Sword Hou pacified the East China Sea, it is said that several big families in the East China Sea not only voluntarily surrendered, but also donated a large amount of their wealth in order to survive. Now it seems that what the Jiang family had back then was Only a part of it was donated, and most of their wealth was stored on the two islands."
Wu Dalin nodded and said: "The Jiang family has rebellious intentions and must have made the worst plan. Once the situation goes wrong, they will retreat to the sea." He sneered and said: "They have already arranged a retreat and will use all their wealth Stored at sea, even if something happens, you can still maintain your vitality."
Qi Ning slowly moved forward along the aisle between the wooden boxes, and said with a solemn expression: "Leader Wu, the number of weapons on the two islands combined is huge, and the money stored is even greater. You said that if it weren't for the Tantai University this time, The governor's incident allowed us to expose the conspiracy behind the Jiang family. Once the Chu army goes north and they rebel behind the scenes, how much disaster will these weapons and money bring?"
Wu Dalin also looked sternly and said: "Master Hou, the general is exactly as you thought. After discovering this warehouse, the general also felt chills on his back. With such a huge bank balance, it is not difficult for the Jiang family to take advantage of the chaos to recruit soldiers. And these weapons can be equipped at any time, plus once Shen Liangqiu takes control of the Donghai Navy and cooperates with the Jiang family to cause chaos, the East China Sea will fall into their hands in an instant. At that time, I, Dachu, will be attacked from both sides, and the consequences will be disastrous."
At this time, Qi Ning walked to a pile of wooden boxes, took the cold blade, and pried open the wooden box. There was a layer of dead grass on the top. When he pulled the dry grass aside, there were antiques and treasures underneath. He only took a glance and knew this. The antiques and treasures are all of the highest quality. If you take out any one of them, you can easily sell it for a good price. I saw a small brocade box placed in the corner. I took it out and opened the box. It was filled with brilliance for a moment. It turned out that this There was actually a huge luminous pearl inside.
"Master Marquis, the Jiang family is indeed a century-old family in the East China Sea." Wu Dalin's eyes lit up when he saw the luminous pearl, and he couldn't help but admired: "Although the general has not seen much, he also knows that such luminous pearls are extremely rare. I am afraid that within the royal family, There is no such top-quality luminous pearl in the warehouse." He looked around and saw that the guards who followed him were all guarding outside the warehouse. Wu Dalin said softly: "Master Marquis, what should I do with these treasures?"
