The Emperor Reigns Them All-Chapter 67 The Assassination (2)

When the young servant in grey opened the door, he saw Kang Chengxun sitting in the room and an old man who seemed to be his trusted subordinate standing beside him. Compared with Kang Chengxun who was angry, the old man seemed calmer and more relaxed. Seeing the young servant in grey coming in, the old man looked at him. Although he just glanced at him casually, the young servant in grey felt great pressure.

The young servant in grey put dishes and drink on table one by one and calculated the strength of the old man silently in his mind. He took time to look at the elder man who helped him, and found that he shook his head gently to him. The young servant in grey understood his meaning. The elder man couldn't overwhelm the old man in an instant.

According to the young servant's previous understanding, Kang Chengxun's cultivation was in the same realm as Li Guanshu. They were in Qi-refining Level 6. In theory, a cultivator of Qi-refining Level 6 was not qualified to be a commissioner. However, the so-called dirty dogs had their own unfair ways to gain high positions. Kang Chengxun's cultivation was not high enough, but Wei Baoheng could say that he was brilliant and capable.

"Commissioner Kang, the dishes and drink have been served. If there is no other order, I'll leave." The young servant in grey bowed himself and said. Since Kang Chengxun had a trusted escort around, he decided to look for opportunities at night. After all, Kang Chengxun would not sleep with the old man.

Unlike Li Guanshu who rushed to Niushou Mountain, Kang Chengxun returned from Hedong with his guards all around him, among whom there were some masters. If the young servant in grey fought to them rashly, he could not succeed. And once he fell into a siege, he might encounter unexpected danger.

"Hold on!" Kang Chengxun came to the table and looked up and down at the young servant in grey, showing an inexplicable smile. He asked the young servant in grey to stay. "You stay to serve me." Then he waved his hand and asked the elder man to leave. "You leave."

The elder man was shocked. Instinctively, he held his tobacco pipe with one hand and looked at the young servant in grey.

The young servant in grey made an obeisance by cupping his hands before his chest and took an opportunity to give a gaze to the elder man and let him do as he said.

The elder man puckered his lips, then quickly loosened them. He said nothing more and left the room.

Kang Chengxun sat down at the table and said to his followers, "You go out, too."

The old man obeyed and left.

The young servant in grey quickly poured wine for Kang Chengxun and handed the cup to him with a flattering expression. "Commissioner, please."

Kang Chengxun, who had been in a bad mood for a long time, was a little more pleasant at the moment. No one knew why he was so. But the answer was soon revealed. When he took the cup from the young servant in grey, he touched the grey-clothes young servant's hands with a strange smile. "I really didn't expect that the servant in this small place is so delicate."

The elder man returned to the backyard with an unhappy look and sat down at random, holding the tobacco pipe and keeping silent. For a long time, he looked in the direction of the A-level room, sighed, and said to himself, "We've considered everything, but ignored that Kang Chengxun adores man!"

After that, he rolled tobacco leaves again. His movements were steady, but he whispered in his mind. "The Little Goat meets trouble this time. I don't know if he can bear it... Although some Childes from the high-ranking families are fond of the man and like to bring a handsome boy around, I didn't find that the Little Goat does that in these two months. Besides, liking man and being liked by a man are not the same..."

He was quite confused. "It's difficult to decide. Should I go up or not? If the Little Goat is tarnished... Bah, if the Little Goat can't constrain himself and fight with Kang Chengxun, what can I do? Then not only the action fails, but also he'll be over. I can't leave him alone. I guess we'll die together at that time."

The elder man smoked and thought it tasted good, which he hadn't experienced before. He felt uncomfortable when he smoked at previous times.

He continued to think. "The Little Goat is young and has not suffered too much. I guess he can't bear for a long time. If Kang Chengxun forces him, he must be angry... what can I do? What can I do?"

The elder man took a look at the A-level room from time to time. Even though he was a disciple of White Deer Sect, he still didn't know whether he should go and fight or not. Or should he find an excuse to take the young servant in grey back?

Maybe struggle and allodoxaphobia were common problems of some women. He hesitated for a long time and did not make up his mind. The key was that it was the young servant in grey who asked him to leave before.

Fifteen minutes passed and nothing happened in the room.

Half an hour passed, nothing happened in the room.

One hour passed, there still was nothing happened in the room.

The elder man kept smoking until his head was somewhat drowsy. Then he stopped immediately. He frowned and was worried about the situation of the grey-clothes young servant. At the same time, he also was glad that the grey-clothed young servant had not been angry. He wanted to look at it several times.

Fortunately, he had worked in the kitchen of the courier station for a long time so that no one dared to come and ask him to work after such a long idle time.

Two hours later, a fellow came into the backyard from the hall, lifted the curtain, and hurried to the kitchen and said, "The A-level room wants more wine, who will do that?"

"I am going!" The elder man stood up quickly.

The elder man took up the tray and went into the lobby. In the process of going upstairs to the A-level room, he took a small bag of medicine powder from his waist and poured it into the wine pot quickly. After doing this, he became calm and thought in his mind, "You old bastard, drink this and go to die!"

The old man in black stood at the door of the room. He was very conscientious. When the elder man knocked at the door, he looked at him, reached out and stopped him. He uncovered the lid of the wine pot, poured out a cup of wine, took out a green bead and threw it into the cup.

The elder man sneered in mind. "You want to test whether it's poisonous? This is the Sleeping-draught specially made by our White Deer Sect. The manufacturing method comes from our ancestors and it has existed for thousands of years. It specializes in dealing with cultivators and is colorless and tasteless. The key is that... It's harmless!" .

The old man in black took the bead out of the cup and saw that there was no problem with the bead. Then he allowed the elder man in.

As soon as the elder man entered the room, he was shocked by the sight and couldn't move for a while.

The young servant in grey and Kang Chengxun had already been drunk and their whole faces were red. They held each other's hands and looked like they were exchanging heartfelt feelings. And Kang Chengxun sometimes touched the former's face. Kang Chengxun's laughing voice and lustful gaze made people shudder, while the young servant in grey accepted them all calmly and smiled all the time.

The elder man felt difficult to explain his feeling and felt that his eyes were almost blind. He quickly put down the wine pot and turned to run away. Before he went out, he suddenly remembered his plan. So he gave a gaze to the young servant in grey to tell him that the wine could help him.

Turning around and closing the door, the elder man didn't want to stay any longer and hurried to go downstairs.

The old man in black looked at his back and frowned slightly, but he did not move, because the most important thing was to protect Kang Chengxun.

Back in the backyard, the elder man still couldn't calm himself down. Recalling the scene in the A-level room, he picked up the tobacco pipe and indignantly hit the door frame. "Bastard, he's a bastard! Little Goat, I misread you!"

He was in a sulk for a while and finally calmed down. Then he could not help looking in the direction of the A-level room. He calculated that the medicine was about to work.

Thinking of that, the elder man became calm and knew that the crucial moment was coming.

So he held the tray with a pot of wine on it and went into the lobby again. He observed the A-level room while slowly went upstairs.

Unexpectedly, the old man in black waited at the end of the stairs.

Seeing the old man in black, the elder man kept silent, but thought in mind. "Why didn't he stay in front of the door?"

Before the elder man came up with a reason, the old man in black had said to him coldly, "You, stop!"

A-level room.

Cups and plates were in a mess on the table.

Kang Chengxun took off his robe and pulled the young servant in grey to the bed, laughing. He was drunk and couldn't see clearly, and his footsteps were disordered, but he still fondled the young servant.

The young servant in grey didn't change his look.

He had experienced a lot before transmigration, so this was nothing at all.

Although he was calm, he had cursed Kang Chengxun and his whole families for many times in his mind.

Before Kang Chengxun pulled the young servant in grey on the bed, he himself had fallen down and still smiled unconsciously.

The young servant in grey sneered, dusted the wine stain on his sleeves, squatted down on the bed, and caught Kang Chengxun's hair with one hand.

At the stairway, the elder man looked up and asked with a smile, "Can I help you?"

The gaze of this old man in black was serious. He looked up and down at the elder man and his voice was deep. "You're not the fellow in the courier station!"

The elder man said with a smile, "Your words are strange. Did I offend you or was I impolite to you?"

The man in black took a step forward and looked down at the elder man. His gaze grew colder and colder. "I've been making a living in Jianghu for most of my life. I have seen many scenes before. If you are a fellow of this courier station, I will dig out my eyeballs for you!"

The elder man was terrified. "Don't threaten me like that. I don't know when I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me..."

The old man in black was just suspicious and not sure of anything. Otherwise, he would be unable to say anything. He intercepted the elder man at this time according to his instinct. But for a man like him who had been making a living in Jianghu for many years, instinct was often the most powerful weapon.

The old man in black did not intend to test. He directly stroke out a palm to the elder man's forehead. "Tell me the truth!"

In the A-level room, the grey-clothes young servant grabbed Kang Chengxun's hair, lifted his head and sneered, "I'm not an old pedant who advocates 'a scholar prefers death to humiliation'. And I also don't have the thought of inviolability. Otherwise, I really can't stand you."

The young servant in grey turned his wrist over and had a dagger in his hand. "Kang Chengxun, you killed my father and messed up my country. Now, I'll avenge my two lives' unfairness. You go to hell!"

The dagger fell down to stab Kang Chengxun.

Kang Chengxun suddenly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, there were shock, fear, anger, and doubts.

At the critical moment, he pushed a punch at the grey-dressed young servant's belly!

No one knew how he woke up, and it was so sudden. Maybe all the people had an instinct for survival.

The young servant in grey didn't retreat.

If he retreated, the dagger would miss Kang Chengxun.

He had no second chance.

As long as they pulled apart, the young servant in grey was unable to attack him again. And Kang Chengxun's followers would come at once when he shouted!

"Bang!"

Kang Chengxun hit the grey-clothed young servant's belly with his fist!

The young servant in grey didn't move and retreat.

He stood up to the punch!

An all-out punch from a cultivator of Qi-refining Level 6!

"Pfft!"

At the same time, the dagger in his hand cut off Kang Chengxun's throat accurately.
