C344 Dark Night Assassination

Su Lia walked slowly towards the grave where his wife and daughter were buried. Every step he took felt heavy.

Every step he took seemed to pass the years, making him feel incomparably long.

Standing in front of the two newly erected graves, Su Lia was no longer the general with great military might on the battlefield. Now, he had experienced the destruction of his family, and his temples were already covered with a little bit of frost. The back view of the once incomparably tall and sturdy figure now seemed to be very fragile. Even the light guards who had followed him for a long time on the battlefield could not bear to see the scene unfold.

This time, what King Tang did really chilled Su Lia's heart. He had gone too far.

"Madam, Jie Er, I'm here to see you guys!"

Su Lia turned around and looked at the guards behind him as he spoke. A person walked out from within and held a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand.

"Madam and Jie Er have always liked the flowers in Summer Palace. I specially sent someone to pick some of them. Although I came a little late, I finally managed to do it! " Su Lia took the flowers from Qing Wei's hands and carefully placed them in front of their graves.

"I originally wanted to bring you guys to see the flowers on the mountain when I came back from Jiannan, but I'm afraid it's impossible now!" Su Lia said to the two new graves in front of him.

"After this matter is settled, I will build a small house next to your graves after I return from the south. I will accompany you all day long. This is good too. It's time to rest! " Su Lia said with a sigh. He stood next to the grave and thought for a while. He turned around and said to the guards behind him.

"Let's go. I'm afraid that after I left for so long, Lin Er and Wu Er must be worried. If we don't go back now, I'm really afraid that they will cause some trouble!"

As he spoke, he walked to the side of his horse, turned around, and leaped towards the direction of the Shanhai Pass.

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening. Outside the afternoon gate of the Tang Country Imperial Palace. ... The execution platform in the morning was under the night sky. It was extremely cold and quiet. During the day, it had become the liveliest place because of the death of the Crown Prince, Lee Zhi. However, at night, this place was the most deserted place.

Many people had died here. Who would come here in the middle of the night for no reason? But at this moment, someone had come.

When the figure that appeared gradually became clear, Su Lia, who was present, would discover... The person who had arrived was the Chief Judge who had been executed during the day, and beside him stood a black-robed man. It was Wan Hao, who had been strategizing in Tang Country all this time. There was also a carriage beside him.

"This is...!" The main judge asked with a hint of flattery.

"I am the Emperor's subordinate, knowing too much will not do you any good!" Wan Hao said faintly.

"Yes, yes! I don't ask, I don't ask. Show me that letter. I believe it. After all, the Emperor has always been fond of the Crown Prince. How can he be killed in one day's time? " The Main Magistrate immediately smiled.

"Today's matter made your subordinates keep their mouths shut. Whoever wants to leak it out will be charged with treason! At that time, I'm afraid that even your little life will be lost!" Wan Hao said in a deep voice.

The main judge shivered and immediately nodded with all his might. "I understand, I understand. They are all my trusted aides. Don't worry!"

After saying that, Wan Hao glanced at the Main Magistrate and took the carriage and ran into the distance.

At the same time, Su Lia and the others were speeding towards the tent of the Tang Army in Shanhai Pass. The night had already fallen, and Su Lia and the others had also arrived in a forest. There was only one main road in the middle. The guards behind Su Lia said, "General, it's getting late. Shouldn't we take a rest? Shall we leave at dawn?"

"No, time is of the essence. Besides, Su Lin and Su Wu already have the intention of rebelling. Since Your Majesty has already sentenced Lee Zhi to death, I won't pursue the matter any further. The urgent matter at hand is to rush over and take a look at the two of them as soon as possible. Right now, the entire army is filled with righteous indignation because of my matter. If I'm encouraged by the two of them, I really don't know what will happen! " Su Lia said with a frown.

"General is right, but this place is tall and dense. I am afraid that there will be people lying in ambush here!" An experienced light guard said to Su Lia.

"What are you afraid of? In my Great Tang, could it be that those men from the Great Han dare to sneak in and assassinate us? A man of character, what is there to be afraid of when fighting a war? I originally had some concerns, but now, this Su has nothing to fear! Jia!!"

After saying that, Su Lia held the reins in his hand, and the horse quickly raised the whip as he ran forward. The light guards knew Su Lia's character, so they had no choice but to follow closely behind.

The moment they left, a black shadow appeared in the forest. They looked at the few people who had left, and killing intent flashed in their eyes.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Two arrows pierced through the air and cut through the black sky from the forest. They accurately shot towards the two light guards behind Su Lia.

The powerful impact instantly pierced through the light guards who were caught in the inertia and landed under the horse.

"Huff!!"

Su Lia also felt the ambush and immediately tightened the reins. The horse's hooves were already close to soaring into the sky.

"Su Lia, die!"

Su Lia stopped, and a few black figures appeared beside him. They held long silver blades in their hands, and their eyes were cold as they slashed at Su Lia.

"How dare you! You really want to kill me without any regard for your own life!"

Su Lia did not expect his words to come true. There really was a traitor who dared to assassinate him. He was furious in his heart. He pulled out his long blade from behind and kicked the horse. He flew into the air and faced the group of black-clothed assassins.

Su Lia was a Yin-Yang True Realm martial artist. Facing these assassins, he did not have the slightest fear and welcomed them.

The moon was dark and the wind was strong. Blade light and sword shadows shuttled through the mountain forest. Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of swords clashing could be heard without an end.

"Bang!"

Su Lia was incomparably brave. He vented his hatred towards Lee Zhi, and the regret of losing his wife and daughter on these assassins.

The muscles in his hand were as thick as a dragon's branch. He held the hilt of his sword and hacked at a black-clothed assassin.

The assassin's strength was not weak, and his reaction was extremely fast. In an instant, he raised the sword above his head and blocked Su Lia's vertical slash.

When the blades and swords collided, the assassin felt a mountain-like force landing on his long sword. Immediately, he had a feeling that it was like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Su Lia's long blade was refined from a top grade material. It could be said to be exceptionally tough. How could the swords of these assassins be able to block it?

When the blades and swords collided, the long sword was unable to withstand a single slash and broke into two. The blade glow did not stop because of this. A cold glint flashed and the assassin's forehead was left with a slight trace of blood.

However, the assassin's eyes had already become empty and powerless. The broken long sword in his hand also fell to the ground. His body stiffened as he fell backwards and died in a single blow!
