EBE Chapter 78 Assassination
Chapter 78 Assassination
At Xiahou Dun's urging, Liu Xiu hurriedly stood up.
As soon as he stood up, Liu Xiu was suddenly stunned.
This is the system rapidly modifying Liu Xiu's memory.
The next second, Liu Xiu turned around and looked at Zhang Cheng, then quickly bent down and said to Zhang Cheng: "Teacher!"
"teacher?"
Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but turn her head and look at Liu Xiu.
Could it be that this unprepossessing young man was once a student at Jixia Academy?
The students of Jixia Academy are all rare geniuses.
It seems that if I have the chance, I should have a good chat with this young man in front of me.
Zhang Cheng nodded to Liu Xiu, then turned to Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Sir Shangguan, let's go into the city!"
"it is good!"
Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand and the team continued to move forward.
A soldier of the Black Armor Army brought a horse to Liu Xiu, who climbed onto the horse and walked beside Zhang Cheng with Xiahou Dun.
"Are you a student of Jixia College?"
Xiahou Dun looked at Liu Xiu with some curiosity.
Liu Xiu's memory was modified, and he smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I am a student of Jixia College."
"I heard that all the students at Jixia Academy are geniuses. You must be amazing too."
Liu Xiu smiled and nodded, then rode a little faster and said, "What I cultivate is different from what you cultivate. What I cultivate is great luck."
"Great luck? Can you elaborate on this?"
"It's simple. My luck is better than that of most people. When I go to the casino to gamble, I always win and never lose. When I have no money, I just need to go out for a walk and I will definitely find some money."
"And when danger sees me, it will avoid me..."
This time, before Liu Xiu could finish his words, a ray of light suddenly appeared on the city wall.
Almost at the same time, a beam of light shot towards Zhang Cheng. Just at this moment, Liu Xiu rode his horse and blocked Zhang Cheng's side.
Zhang Cheng, Shangguan Wan'er and the others had not yet reacted. Liu Xiu, who had just boasted about his incredible luck, was blown to pieces on the ground with his horse.
Zhang Cheng reacted quickly and turned his head to look at the city wall in the distance.
On the city wall, the person who had just controlled the mechanical weapon to launch the attack just jumped down from the city wall and chose to commit suicide directly.
Shangguan Wan'er reacted immediately and brought people to protect Zhang Chengtuan.
"Zhang Cheng, just now..."
Without waiting for Shangguan Wan'er to finish her words, Zhang Cheng said to her with a gloomy face: "The assassin was targeting me. I was just lucky. Liu Xiu saved my life by chance."
"Unfortunately, Liu Xiu was taken away."
Zhang Cheng was careless.
He never expected that outside the city of Chang'an, there would be assassins controlling mechanical weapons to attack him.
The attack came too quickly.
If Liu Xiu hadn't been there this time, once the beam of light emitted by the mechanical weapon had accurately hit Zhang Cheng, even if Zhang Cheng didn't die, he would at least have suffered serious injuries.
Zhang Cheng never expected that Liu Xiu, the mascot, was actually a disposable one.
Before Zhang Chengdu could say a few words to Liu Xiu, the other party hung up.
Xiahou Dun looked at the blood clots all over the ground, also in a daze.
"Isn't it said that what one cultivates is great luck? This luck doesn't seem to be that good!"
Shangguan Wan'er rode her horse quickly towards the city wall, and soon turned back.
Seeing Zhang Cheng again, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but flash a trace of panic on her face, "The soldier who attacked you just now has committed suicide. Zhang Cheng, please believe that the soldier's behavior just now completely represents himself. It has nothing to do with He Luo!"
Shangguan Wan'er is really worried now, worried that Zhang Cheng will misunderstand He Luo.
Wu Zetian issued a death order, requiring Shangguan Wan'er to invite Zhang Cheng to Chang'an.
Now Zhang Cheng was about to enter Chang'an, but such an accident happened. If Zhang Cheng chose to turn around and leave, Shangguan Wan'er really would have no way to explain to Wu Zetian.
Moreover, if He Luo has a conflict with Zhang Cheng because of this matter, it will also affect Wu Zetian's plan.
"Let's go, let's go into the city first."
"Although the soldier who participated in the assassination chose to commit suicide, the real mastermind is still there."
"My people cannot die in vain. I will find a way to find the mastermind behind this."
Zhang Cheng has basically guessed who is the mastermind behind this.
Eighty percent of this matter was caused by Ming Shiyin.
Firstly, Zhang Cheng helped Su Lie and others defend the Great Wall, which directly shattered Ming Shiyin's plan. Ming Shiyin had enough reasons to kill Zhang Cheng.
Secondly, Ming Shiyin's heterochromatic eyes have a hypnotic effect. He can completely control a soldier and suddenly launch an attack on Zhang Cheng.
It was also because of this that Zhang Cheng and even Wang Zhaojun did not feel the slightest bit of murderous intent before the incident.
Thirdly, Ming Shiyin is a guy who likes to play shady games, and assassination happens to be what Ming Shiyin is best at.
"Zhang Cheng, please trust the Dali Temple in Chang'an. I can promise you that within seven days, the Dali Temple will help you find the mastermind behind this. We will definitely give you an explanation."
Zhang Cheng nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
The Dali Temple is indeed powerful, but Ming Shiyin is equally flawless in doing things.
It is probably not an easy task for Dali Temple to find out the real murderer.
But this is not important. It is enough for Zhang Cheng to know that the murderer behind the scenes is Ming Shiyin.
Zhang Cheng wants to snatch Yaotian from Ming Shiyin, which means that Zhang Cheng will have a head-on conflict with Ming Shiyin.
If he plays dirty, Zhang Cheng will most likely not be a match for Ming Shiyin.
But Zhang Cheng has his own way to control Ming Shiyin.
"I will arrange for you to go to the post station to rest immediately. Please trust that Heluo will do a good job of security. In addition, tonight's banquet..."
Without waiting for Shangguan Wan'er to finish her words, Zhang Cheng said to her, "Let's hold the banquet tonight as scheduled. The mastermind behind the attack on me will definitely attend the banquet tonight. You can tell Di Renjie in advance. If Di Renjie is really powerful, he might be able to find some clues at the banquet."
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Zhang Cheng and finally nodded.
Daming Palace.
When Wu Zetian learned the news that Zhang Cheng was attacked, she immediately became furious.
"Di Renjie, I give you three days. You must catch the real culprit behind this murder within three days."
"Also, all the generals in charge of patrolling Chang'an City today will be removed from their posts for investigation."
"Sikong Zhen, you come with me to the outside of Daming Palace. Something like this has happened, and I must personally come out to greet Zhang Cheng and comfort him. I don't want this accident to cause a rift between Heluo, Zhang Cheng, and Jixia Academy."
