A premeditated and targeted assassination seems to have come to an end.
But in fact, there is still one final scene left before the curtain comes to a close.
There is one last link.
Although the two killers were hit by one punch, Sun Gusheng kept his strength inside and would not let the two of them die simply.
Sun Gusheng knelt down, looked at a killer, and asked, "Who else is the Marquis of Zhennan colluding with?"
The killer gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Sun Gusheng sighed and laughed at himself: "Actually, I can make a rough guess, but they may not be able to admit the failure of the assassination. After all, there are too many people in Kyoto who want to kill me."
"You two don't have to worry. As long as you tell me about my colleague Zhennan Hou, I will definitely spare your lives."
The killers were a little excited.
After all, this is a chance to survive.
Even if they are seriously injured now, they actually know that these injuries only need to be taken care of in the future. Although it is a bit unrealistic to recover as before, it is more than enough to recover about 80%.
In fact, these two killers were somewhat lucky and grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince.
After all, His Royal Highness's last two punches did not kill them.
Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince say this, the two killers could not help but feel a little shaken.
Sun Gusheng was still trying to persuade him: "Just tell your colleagues who are behind the scenes, I promise to protect you."
This kind of scene is actually more familiar to Gu Xiaotian.
After all, he had done a lot of the things he confessed to back then.
At this time, Gu Xiaotian pulled Sun Gusheng away and came to the two killers. Before the two killers could speak, he stabbed the palm of one of them with his sword.
The killer suddenly screamed and was sweating profusely.
Gu Xiaotian showed an evil face, "Will you tell me?"
The killer complained repeatedly. He didn't expect that the other party would have such a cruel and ruthless person.
Sun Gusheng sighed, shook his head, and did not step forward to stop him.
After all, these killers must still have concerns in their hearts, but if they want to confess like this, he can't do it, so he can only let others do it for them.
The killer gritted his teeth and sweatdropped, but still didn't say a word.
Gu Xiaotian twisted the sword, and suddenly the killer couldn't bear it anymore and started to cry, and his palm was twisted into a puddle of flesh.
Gu Xiaotian said: "If you don't tell me, His Highness the Crown Prince might let you go, but I won't."
Then, Gu Xiaotian pulled out his sword, and then struck it, drawing a long bloody mark on the killer's body.
The other killer felt frightened just looking at this scene. This was too cruel.
He even regretted now why it was not the two of them who died in the first place. At least he didn't have to suffer such torture.
"Give me a good time, I beg you!"
The tortured killer finally wailed and begged for mercy, "You know I will die if you tell me, and you will die if you don't tell me, so why not give me a break, at least you can suffer less torture."
Gu Xiaotian clicked his tongue and said, "It's too cheap to let you die so easily. Anyway, it's still early before dawn, so we can have some fun."
"How about it, now that we have said it, maybe my life can be saved."
The killer's face turned pale.
No matter how much gratitude they feel towards His Highness the Crown Prince, in the final analysis, they are still from the other side and want to kill His Highness the Crown Prince.
The dirty and scandalous things they had done in Kyoto before, if it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Zhennan was on top of them, they would have been beheaded in public a long time ago.
His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely sit on that throne. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince says he wants to grant amnesty to the world, won't those enemies come to seek revenge?
Either way, death is inevitable, so it's better to be a tough guy and die with dignity.
Gu Xiaotian shook his head and said regretfully: "It seems that you are still not smart enough. In that case, let's take it slow."
In the following time, Gu Xiaotian did not speak, but made several sword marks on the killer's body, but kept avoiding the vital points, only letting him feel the pain, and never letting him die so quickly.
The killer's screams echoed in the courtyard for a long time.
However, this killer must have made up his mind at the last moment and must be a tough guy. He did not reveal the colleagues behind the scenes of Zhennan Hou.
This was somewhat beyond Gu Xiaotian's expectation, and at the same time he admired these people for being able to endure such torture in order not to let His Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne.
Soon, the killer's scream gradually weakened, and he no longer had the strength to shout.
Gu Xiaotian sighed and looked at the tortured killer, but he did not make the final move. Instead, he turned around and handed the sword to Sun Gusheng.
Sun Gusheng was startled, but he also understood what Gu Xiaotian meant.
He must be the one to chop off this head.
This time, Sun Gusheng didn't hesitate at all. After taking the sword, he just said sorry softly, and then cut off the killer's head with one sword.
Sun Gusheng lifted the head and came to the other killer.
When the other killer saw such a scene, he had long been frightened. At this moment, he was too weak to fight, and he would definitely give it a shot in the end, just to be happy.
After all, the screams of his companions just now seemed to still linger in his ears, which was too terrifying.
Sun Gusheng looked at the human head in his hand and said with some regret, "You were all people who protected this world. I shouldn't kill you."
"Actually, after all, it's just a matter of the throne. So what if I give it to someone else?"
The killer looked at His Highness the Crown Prince blankly, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince...please give me a pleasure."
Gu Xiaotian said first: "It's not enough if you want to have fun. If you don't tell me, just experience the situation of your companion just now. If the two of you meet in the underworld, you can also compare with each other to see who can survive longer."
The killer didn't reply, but his face was pale.
Gu Xiaotian tore off the killer's clothes, pulled off a piece of cloth, blindfolded the killer's eyes, and said in a sinister tone: "I have thought of a new method, blindfold you, as for whether I will give If you are so happy, you don’t know where the sword is going to strike, will you be even more scared?"
Before the killer could speak, Gu Xiaotian covered the killer's eyes and then reminded: "Get ready."
Time passed minute by minute, but Gu Xiaotian was not in a hurry to take action.
On the other hand, the blindfolded killer lived in fear from beginning to end. The more Gu Xiaotian didn't take action, the more uneasy he felt.
I have no idea what will happen to me.
The only thing more terrifying than death is that life is worse than death!
Finally, the killer asked tremblingly: "If I tell you, I will still die, and my enemies will also cause trouble for me."
Sun Gusheng promised: "I promise you that your life will be safe."
The killer hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Your Highness, I believe you once, I say."
Sun Gusheng asked: "Besides the Marquis of Zhennan, who else participated in this assassination."
"There are also Wen Ruhou, Yuan Zuo, the commander of Wude Camp, and Liu Yun, the dean of Decai Academy..."
The killers came one by one and gave out a long list of names.
Many characters were involved in this, and Sun Gusheng's expression was obviously strange when he named some people.
Many of these characters were uncles he had met when he was a child, and even accompanied him to fly the kite.
Unexpectedly, in turn, these uncles would actually want to kill him.
People's hearts are unpredictable and things in the world are unpredictable.
Gu Xiaotian listened to this list of names and joked: "Your life is quite valuable, so many people want it."
Sun Gusheng ignored Gu Xiaotian's joke and just said silently: "They don't want me to sit in that position, but I don't know why they don't want me to."
In the current dynasty, there were many people who did not want Sun Gusheng to sit in that position, but people's hearts were different. Some people simply felt that Sun Gusheng was not worthy of sitting in that position, while others considered their own interests.
There is no way to talk about these things, so if you want to investigate, you have to investigate slowly.
The killer finished telling his name and lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the two of them to speak.
Sun Gusheng asked: "Besides you, is there an ambush?"
The killer said bluntly: "I don't know that."
Gu Xiaotian stepped on the killer's body, "You didn't tell the truth."
The killer said miserably: "I really don't know. We all obey the orders of Zhennan Hou. Some of the killers and talisman masters who besieged you previously have only met two or three times, and they got together temporarily just to kill you. "
Sun Gusheng pulled Gu Xiaotian and shook his head: "He should be telling the truth. Zhennanhou has never been a person who puts eggs in one basket."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, moved his feet, and said with a smile: "Okay, since you have done all the tricks, you can go."
The killer felt relieved, slowly got up from the ground, covered his wound, but did not leave immediately. He was still a little confused and asked: "You really don't want to kill me?"
Sun Gusheng nodded and said: "I will keep your life safe if I do what I say."
After that, the two ignored the killer and left the courtyard.
…
…
In Marquis Wenru's Mansion, many people from the third prince's faction gathered tonight.
Liu Yun, the dean of the Decai Academy, was also among them, but this group of people had very serious expressions and were listening to the information sent back by their servants.
After the servant finished speaking, he withdrew.
The room was silent.
In the end, Liu Yun was the first to break the silence, and said with lingering fear: "Master Zhang... the assassination failed, this matter will inevitably be spread."
Wen Ruhou Zhang Xi groped his chin, but felt incredible in his heart.
Even if the opponent has an extra Gu Xiaotian, Gu Xiaotian's strength is only at the peak of the Transformation Realm. They have so many Transformation Realm killers, but they can't even kill two of them?
Zhang Xi thought about it over and over and soon figured it out.
The key to the problem lies in Sun Gusheng.
The Crown Prince, whom they had once regarded as useless, was actually so terrifyingly powerful.
Liu Yun asked tremblingly: "Master Zhang, this time it was Master Lin who contributed more. We were just involved. Why don't we put all the blame on Master Lin's side?"
At this time, the minds of these scholars are indeed worse than the last, and they have already decided to end the relationship before the final decision is made.
Zhang Xi sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go back first, let me think about it carefully."
After everyone left, Zhang Xi stood up silently, wandered back and forth in the room, and finally walked back to the table, picked up a pen and wrote something down.
…
…
This night in Kyoto is destined to be restless.
Zhennan Hou Lin Daofu also learned that the assassination failed. He punched the table in his room and the poor table instantly fell into pieces.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of his mansion.
The doorman rubbed his sleepy eyes, walked to the door, and responded inside: "The house is closed today. If you have something to do, please come early tomorrow."
But after he reminded me, there were constant knocks on the door.
The boy was a little impatient and cursed angrily before opening the door.
As soon as the door opened, the boy stood stunned on the spot.
I saw a young man covered in blood holding a sword.
And next to this young man, stood His Royal Highness covered in blood!
Standing at the door, Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Someone wants to kill His Highness the Crown Prince. Let's come to Zhennan Hou to have a talk."
Some people died, but not completely...
