Chapter 686

To this day, Wang Yue's age was already over fifty.

By reason, Wang Yue shouldn't have returned to Chang'an.

After all.

The title of Wang Yue as the number one swordsman in the world had long spread throughout the Great Han.

It could be considered that he had already reached the peak of swordsmanship and achieved success and fame.

But now, Wang Yue not only came to defect to Gu Yi himself, but also brought two disciples.

One was named Shi A, and the other was called Wang Tao.

Hmm, this Wang Tao was a woman, quite beautiful.

According to Gu Yi's visual estimation, she should be a younger generation in Wang Yue's family.

For the three of Wang Yue, Gu Yi arranged for them to enter the personal guard team.

Of course.

Because the time of joining was short.

And the loyalty was unknown.

Temporarily, Gu Yi did not let the three of them formally hold office, but they were equivalent to interns.

Also an intern was Zhou Tai.

But compared to Wang Yue.

Gu Yi clearly trusted Zhou Tai more.

After two or three probes, he soon let Zhou Tai become a regular, becoming the third-in-command among the personal guards.

First-in-command, Xu Sheng.

Second-in-command, Tian Yu.

Third-in-command, Zhou Tai.

However.

According to Tian Yu's characteristic of being both civil and military.

Gu Yi intended to let Tian Yu study military strategy for a period of time, then let him hold office in the army.

Or like Hao Zhao, be sent out to become a Prefect of a certain place.

As for Xu Sheng, he was unwilling to leave Gu Yi no matter what.

In his eyes, Gu Yi was the person he most wanted to protect.

Every time Gu Yi went out, Xu Sheng was always ready for battle, ready to guard against any movement at any time.

Like a rare treasure, Xu Sheng's loyalty was worthy of Gu Yi's praise.

But.

This made it bitter for Wang Yue, who wanted to assassinate Gu Yi.

He thought that with his martial arts, he could easily mix into being the captain of the personal guards by Gu Yi's side.

As a result, he mixed into being an intern?

How should this feeling be described?

Just like my Brother Ji, no matter where he is placed, he should be the undisputed C-position.

But some host who didn't know the goods drove Brother Ji to

the corner of the lens.

Isn't this bullying people?

The huge gap in Wang Yue's heart made him even lose his appetite and be very angry.

However.

Wang Yue finally waited for a good opportunity.

As the end of the year approached, Gu Yi was to host an annual meeting in the capacity of the current Prime Minister.

This annual meeting was not held in the imperial palace, but set up in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At that time.

The important ministers of the court would arrive one after another.

Gu Yi would also greet them one by one to encourage them.

Well, this is similar to the company annual meeting of later generations, where the boss draws cakes and gives chicken blood to employees.

Once a year.

Gu Yi, this boss, naturally had to give chicken blood and draw cakes in front of the employees.

But for Wang Yue, this was a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity!

On weekdays, as just an intern guard, he couldn't get the opportunity to contact Gu Yi at all.

Now, because Gu Yi was going to have face-to-face contact with court officials.

Those confidant personal guards by Gu Yi's side would naturally also retreat some distance.

For Wang Yue, this was the best opportunity to take action!

Thinking back and forth.

To make the plan further perfect.

Wang Yue decided to arrange tasks for his two disciples Shi A and Wang Tao.

Their martial arts were not as good as Wang Yue's.

But among swordsmen, they were definitely also among the best.

With them as a distraction, Wang Yue believed the success rate would be much higher.

……

Soon.

The day of the annual meeting arrived on time.

Wang Yue pretended to have an expressionless face, with a sword hidden in his bosom, and quietly entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Among the court officials, except for those generals guarding outside.

The important court ministers in Chang'an City, as well as the confidants under Gu Yi's command, all gathered here.

Looking at so many people, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Wang Yue's heart.

Although his swordsmanship was very powerful.

But facing so many enemies, I'm afraid it was equally difficult to escape.

However.

Wang Yue's life creed was to keep his promise.

In the past, Sima Fang once saved his life.

Today, to repay the grace, Wang Yue swore he would definitely complete Sima Fang's entrustment.

Carrying a firm belief in victory.

Wang Yue tidied up his facial expression.

Ready to find a suitable opportunity to launch a fatal blow!

Finally.

After wandering for half an hour.

The defensive power by Gu Yi's side appeared unprecedentedly weak.

At this moment, behind Gu Yi, only Xu Sheng followed.

Wang Yue had also long since inquired clearly about this guy Xu Sheng.

Speaking of martial arts alone, I'm afraid it just barely reached the first-class level.

Although he had been training himself very diligently.

But practicing martial arts, besides effort, one's own talent was also crucial.

In Wang Yue's opinion.

With Xu Sheng's talent.

I'm afraid in this life, he would never reach the threshold of a top-tier fierce general.

Therefore.

To deal with a Xu Sheng, Wang Yue believed he could easily win!

After calculating the distance. ===== CHAPTER 687 =====
