After Zhao Hongming plundered the trophies from the two corpses, he sneaked in the shadows, avoided everyone, and successfully returned to Qingfeng Pavilion.
He returned to the bedroom and put down the bloody knife.
This sword was made of hundred-forged steel according to the swords of the imperial army of the Wei Dynasty. It was specially made by someone for him to practice cutting the world with one sword.
If you count carefully, this is the first time it has seen blood.
Zhao Hongming carefully recalled the scene he had seen before in bed.
In his mind, the position of General Right Guard in front of the palace should only be held by warriors who have reached the Tongqiao realm.
In other words, Dai Gongzheng, whose head was beheaded with a knife in the room, was at least a first-level cultivation level.
But warriors at this level are still unable to guard against certain poisons.
He also thought that when a martial artist reached a higher level of enlightenment or even higher level, he would not be afraid of such despicable methods.
Now it seems that it is still a bit exaggerated.
In his eyes, the assassin who was hacked to death by his sword was definitely superior to him in terms of methods, character, and cultivation.
The assassin kills without blinking an eye, and does everything he does without missing a beat, every step of the way.
If he hadn't bumped into it by chance, he would have had enough to drink.
And after what happened tonight, Zhao Hongming had some insights into martial arts.
In his opinion, the most important factor in winning or losing between enemies is the brain.
Some people practice excellent skills, but they don't think when facing the enemy, their attacks are slow, and they have many flaws. Instead, others take advantage of them and find the fatal point.
His martial arts skills were only used to the best of one-tenth, and he died in the end.
On the other hand, some people practice ordinary skills, but their minds are flexible and they can learn to use poison, use feints, and borrow external forces.
The six-point technique exerted the nine-point power in his hands, and in the end the weak defeated the strong.
These are all the results of fighting with your brain.
Tonight's battle was able to make a huge difference because he thought thoroughly before taking action and secured the right time, place and people in advance.
In the end, he was caught off guard and caught off guard.
So look more and think more before taking action.
If you can win, fight; if you can't, run away.
Don't feel ashamed to run away.
Running away is shameful but useful.
Only in this way can we overcome many setbacks in the future.
Zhao Hongming reviewed everything about tonight's battle and made sure nothing was missed before he was satisfied and stopped thinking about it.
"Wang Bao, prepare a basin of hot water for me. I am going to make a hot bath."
"yes!"
As a personal eunuch, Wang Bao would only leave after he fell asleep.
At this time, he was standing guard outside the door of his room, ready to obey his orders at any time.
Just after killing someone, there was still a bloody smell on his body.
Even though he has the status of a prince, even if someone suspects him of murder or something, they won't do anything to him without definite evidence.
What's more, he still killed an assassin and made a contribution to the Wei Dynasty.
But based on the principle that one thing is worse than one thing less, Zhao Hongming does not want to cause trouble for himself.
After all, he still has many secrets that are difficult to explain.
It is late autumn and early winter now, and the weather has turned cooler in Dawei.
Zhao Hongming soaked in the hot soup and felt happy.
He did a little inventory just now and found a lot from the two corpses.
There are nearly 500 taels of silver alone.
Most of them were contributed by the assassin.
Zhao Hongming guessed that he needed money when going out to do errands, so he brought a lot of banknotes.
In addition to the silver coins, there are about twenty wish stones.
The wish stone has no time and space restrictions on its use.
A martial artist will carry it with him wherever he goes, so that it can be used for practice at any time.
He won't be locked in the house and gathering dust in the cupboard, so this time it was easier for him.
It is said that the gold belt was used for murder and arson, but there were no corpses for repairing bridges and roads.
Zhao Hongming experienced it once today.
With these resources in hand, he will have to practice hard for a period of time in the next period of time.
Now there are assassins in the palace, making it even more unsafe.
You still have to practice seriously and don't slack off even a little bit.
First strive to break through to the innate realm and become an innate warrior.
…
Play in the palace.
Wan Youqing, who was furious earlier, was sitting behind the long table, flipping through two blue-covered books in his hands.
There is a roster for tonight's dormitory shift, and another is the actual attendance roster.
There was such a big mistake in the front office tonight, and he was worried that someone would tamper with the list.
The right guard general Dai Gongzheng in front of the palace, who has moved his head, is responsible for this area of affairs.
So after the incident over there, he immediately took his subordinates to inspect it in person.
After a while, he paused while flipping through the pages.
There is one thing that doesn't match up between the two rosters.
The East Fifth Residence where the fifth prince, Zhao Hongming, lives, has five dormitory guards, but only two of them are actually on duty.
It's obviously been altered.
He summoned his subordinates and asked them to investigate carefully.
Because such a mistake occurred at night, no one among my subordinates dared to take advantage of the situation.
After a while, the results of the investigation were presented to him.
According to the dictation of the Su Wei on the list, it was Su Zhi General Naegi Wang who transferred the remaining three Su Guards of the East Fifth Residence.
There is something wrong with this flourishing seedling.
Wan Youqing immediately shouted: "Ask General Su Zhi Wang Naomu to come see me as soon as possible."
"Everything was checked. A brother just came to report that the body of General Naegi Wangmiao was found in the palace's peace vat."
Wan Youqing's already unattractive face became even more gloomy.
The events that happened one after another today made him highly alert, and his temples began to throb.
Wan Youqing rubbed his swollen temples and reviewed all the known information.
He roughly guessed that the Korean assassin with the string number seven tonight wanted to assassinate His Highness the Fifth.
When he thought that there might be another assassin hiding in the palace, he did not hesitate and said decisively: "Immediately arrange for five agile brothers to go to the East Fifth Residence of the Fifth Highness to protect the Fifth Highness."
The person below clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
"I hope it's not too late to make amends. Otherwise, I really can't live without food. Damn, it's been such a troubled time." Wan Youqing said to himself.
He held two rosters and hurried towards Qianqing Palace, the palace of Emperor Jian'an.
What happened tonight could be big or small. He had to report it to Emperor Jian'an in time and let Emperor Jian'an make the decision.
On the other side, Zhao Hongming, who had just finished taking a bath, walked out of the bathroom wearing a brocade robe.
Hearing the bustling movement outside, I couldn't help but wonder: "What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll take a look." Wang Bao, the personal eunuch, hurriedly followed.
After a while, the eunuch Wang Bao came back and said happily: "Your Highness, the front office of the palace has sent five new guards to protect your highness."
Zhao Hongming, the instigator, had a sudden thought and could roughly guess that the front secretary had discovered something fishy, so he made a prompt remediation.
The eunuch Wang Bao, who didn't know the truth, thought it was Emperor Jian'an who had changed his mind and took extra care of him, with a bit of joy on his face.
Zhao Hongming did not try to expose Wang Bao's beautiful fantasy.
In his view, mountains will fall if you rely on them, and water will flow if you rely on them. It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself.
Instead of waiting for Emperor Jian'an's favor, it would be better to spend more energy improving your strength.
