King of Assassins

Chapter 249: Speed is of the essence in war

Views:

Gao Xuan’s plan was actually very simple, so simple that it required no technical content.

The only problem with this plan is that it's too audacious!

Lan Chang'an, the head of the Lan family, the fifteenth-level Marquis of Jinshan. This is also Lan Chang'an's only official identity.

In order to expand and conquer galaxies, the Alliance has a complete merit reward system.

The ancestors of the Lan family made great contributions in the development of Taurus, and the alliance bestowed the title of Marquis Jinshan on them.

In fact, the title of Marquis has corresponding legal powers. This power is very, very great. It can even exempt from many legal penalties.

The Xiao family is also a marquis, with a status equal to that of the Lan family. The Yu family, for example, only has the title of viscount, which is much lower in terms of authority.

However, the alliance has gradually declined, and the local star regions have essentially been divided.

The titles given by the alliance have lost their former glory. The Yu family and the Bai family have risen rapidly, and these titles can no longer stop them from standing shoulder to shoulder with the Lan and Xiao families.

In order to eliminate the alliance's control over the local areas, the major families rarely mentioned these title matters anymore.

However, wanting to publicly arrest Lan Chang'an, who holds the title of Marquis of Jinshan, is completely against the laws of the alliance.

Without legal support, it would be illegal to attack Lan Chang'an. Even if it succeeded, it would inevitably be retaliated by other noble families.

Besides, apart from these status bonuses, Lan Changan has strong armed forces around him. This is also the territory of the Lan family.

How can they launch a surprise attack on Lan Chang'an with just a few of them

Xiao Ben originally thought that Gao Xuan was an extremely smart man, but now he feels that he had thought too much, because the other party is just a 19-year-old boy after all!

When faced with a major incident, he lost his composure and started to resort to force!

Xiao Cheng still attached great importance to Gao Xuan. After he recovered from his shock, he patiently explained to Gao Xuan: "Lan Chang'an is the Marquis of Jinshan and has judicial immunity. If you want to deal with him legally, you can only revoke his title of Marquis of Jinshan first."

"I know. I also know that the Alliance amended a clause in its constitution 2,000 years ago, which states that those who believe in evil gods and use evil means to harm their own people will be stripped of all honorary titles."

Gao Xuan is also very familiar with the alliance laws, especially some important laws.

Xiao Cheng was stunned. He didn't even know this constitution, but Gao Xuan just blurted it out? Did this guy have a plan

But this didn't make sense, it was Lan Changkong who came here first to cause trouble. Gao Xuan couldn't have thought of so much.

Xiao Cheng silently opened his computer and checked the Constitution, and indeed found this article.

The alliance is so large, and the constitutional provisions are as complicated as the sea. No one except specialized lawyers would study this. He was a little impressed by Gao Xuan. The young man's wide range of knowledge and rich knowledge simply shocked him.

"As long as we catch Lan Changan and find solid evidence, this guy will be finished immediately."

Gao Xuan said confidently: "If we take a risk, we can solve all the problems."

"What if it fails?" Xiao Cheng asked back.

Gao Xuan said lightly: "I will take full responsibility if it fails."

"You can't bear such a big responsibility."

Xiao Cheng sighed. It was easy for Gao Xuan to say that. But if things failed, he would not be able to get away with handing over Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan said sternly: "Uncle Xiao, you must understand that the so-called bottom line is what people think it is. In this world, there is only success and failure, no bottom line."

He said with understanding: "I understand Uncle Xiao's concerns. After all, this is a thousand-year-old family. However, the Xiao family can tolerate and retreat from this matter, but I have no way to retreat."

Xiao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Our Xiao family will always protect you and will never let you suffer any loss."

"I believe Uncle Xiao. But I will have to bear a huge responsibility for this, and Uncle Xiao will inevitably be regarded as someone who doesn't know people well."

Gao Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "The problem is that we don't need to retreat. I will not retreat either."

He smiled casually, "I only have two options now. One is to run over and kill Lan Changan, and by the way, kill all the senior members of the Lan family who are in the way. We will all die together.

"Second, I will kill Lan Chang'an and make his crime public. We will stand firm in legal terms and win this battle."

Gao Xuan's attitude was polite and respectful, but his words were sharp.

Xiao Cheng was also startled. He knew that Gao Xuan's sword was sharp, but the fact that the sword was so sharp made him feel uneasy.

He also understood that Gao Xuan was not forcing him to make any choice, but was just explaining his own path clearly.

In fact, what Gao Xuan said is very correct. If you retreat, you will definitely lose. If you advance, you will have a chance to win a great victory.

Xiao Cheng was always calm, but Xiao Wan was impetuous, which was unlike him. But he was not timid.

Of course, it was his decision that got him to this position.

Xiao Cheng hesitated for a moment and contacted Xiao Jun, the head of the Xiao family and his father.

The age difference between the two is huge, and there is no father-son affection in the education and management of the big family. To Xiao Cheng, Xiao Jun is a very domineering and strict superior.

The matter was of great importance, and although he tended to support Gao Xuan, he still had to consult Xiao Jun.

The image of Xiao Jun appeared on the projection screen. He had short gray hair, thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, and was wearing a straight military uniform. Although he was just sitting at home, his sitting posture was also straight.

"Father, Gao Xuan had a conflict with the Lan family and killed Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng. He discovered that Lan Changan was a follower of the evil god, and he proposed to arrest Lan Changan directly..."

Xiao Cheng explained the matter as briefly as possible. He did not emphasize what Xuan had said.

Because he knew that the old man had a domineering personality and would not like such a tough Gao Xuan.

At the same time, he also sent a related video, which was mainly the video of Gao Xuan beheading Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng.

After watching the video twice, Xiao Jun was also extremely shocked.

Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng are naturally not top swordsmen, but after they were armed with biochemical armor, their personal combat effectiveness increased by at least ten times.

Gao Xuan killed two powerful swordsmen in seconds with just a sword.

That sword is indeed not an ordinary thing. It can break armor like paper. Even the exoskeleton armor is vulnerable to a single blow.

Gao Xuan's body is also equally strong, not inferior to the silver swordsman armed with biochemical armor.

As for his swordsmanship, it was even more amazing. His natural sword skills were enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the best swordsmen, or even surpass them.

His combat awareness is even higher. Facing complex combat situations, he can always make the most accurate judgments and launch the most effective counterattacks.

The reason why Gao Xuan was able to completely control the battle was not because he was much stronger than his opponent, but because he used his strength more efficiently.

Xiao Jun has seen countless swordsmen in his life, and he himself is a top swordsman, so he has a very accurate judgment of the swordsmen's combat power.

With Gao Xuan's strength, he is invincible and successful in small-scale battles.

Xiao Jun quickly judged that Gao Xuan had the ability to defeat Lan Changan.

Of course, the risks of rashly taking action against the patriarch of a top family are extremely high.

However, Gao Xuan was willing to take the risk, so this matter became easier to do.

If I really fail, I just need to cut off my relationship with Gao Xuan.

Over the past few decades, the major families have shown a tendency to join forces to deal with the Xiao family.

If this continues, the Xiao family will really be slowly trapped to death by the joint efforts of all parties.

Behind this are not only the complex conflicts of interest between the aristocratic families, but also the evil gods playing tricks behind the scenes.

If you don't join the evil god, you will become the evil god's enemy. This is a matter of camp selection.

Xiao Jun didn't trust the evil god, even if it would benefit him in the short term. But there is no such thing as a free lunch.

It seems okay to sacrifice the seemingly useless lower-class humans for profit.

Sucking blood from the bottom is the norm in the pyramid social structure. However, cutting off the bottom and eating the meat directly is destroying the foundation of society.

If this continues, human society will inevitably collapse.

Xiao Jun doesn't want to go down this dead end.

It's no secret that Lan Chang'an believes in evil gods. He has been doing more and more despicable things over the years.

This guy even sacrificed his wife and daughter, which was extremely cruel.

Xiao Jun felt disdainful when he thought of Lan Chang'an. It was true that the older he got, the more afraid of death he became. The fact that he was lingering on by evil means was even more disgusting and despicable!

The key is to get rid of Lan Changan, which will immediately open up a huge gap in the Taurus Star Family Invisible Alliance. The benefits here are too great.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Jun made up his mind. He didn't say anything, but just made a fist gesture to Xiao Cheng.

Even if it was a military wireless encrypted communication network, it was possible for others to check the records. Xiao Jun would not give any direct instructions.

This gesture clearly expressed his attitude: Just do it! Xiao Cheng nodded in understanding and closed the communication. He said to Gao Xuan, "What are your plans?"

"Rush in directly and kill Lan Changan. Collect evidence."

Gao Xuan said: "The key is to be fast, so fast that the other party has no time to react."

Xiao Cheng sent Gao Xuan an electronic map: "This is the architectural drawing of the Lan family's Lanting Garden. You have three minutes."

He thought for a moment and said, "If you can't finish it in three minutes, then go. There will be a submarine deep under the sea in the southeast corner to pick you up."

Gao Xuan nodded, not caring about these details, and not asking the Xiao family for support.

The Xiao family was very courageous in allowing him to act alone. It was impossible for them to send someone else to act with him.

This is better. Even if Xiao Ting and Xiao Wan are masters, they would be a burden if they follow him.

"I went."

Before Gao Xuan finished his words, the silver Tiangang sword energy flowed through his body like mercury and instantly turned into a set of gorgeous and exquisite armor.

Two flowing silver ribbons fluttered in the wind behind the silver armor.

Gao Xuan nodded to Xiao Cheng, then turned into a long silver rainbow and flew away into the air.

Armed with the Tiangang armor, the sword energy of the Tiangang armor can reduce air resistance to the maximum extent and also provide Gao Xuan with vast source of power support.

Gao Xuan's flying speed reached one thousand seven hundred meters per second. For a silver swordsman, such a speed was extremely astonishing.

Xiao Wan and Xiao Ting, who were standing aside, hadn't reacted yet when they saw a silver rainbow across the sky, followed by a long sonic boom.

The azure blue sky seemed to be scarred by a long crack in the silver rainbow.

Lan Chang'an, who was sitting in the Yangxin Hall of Lanting Garden, suddenly felt a sense of alarm: "No!"

Several other senior members of the Lan family also became alert, and they all looked up at the sky at the same time.

An arc-shaped silver rainbow cut through the sky and fell towards them.

Everyone's face changed drastically at the same time!
