The best ring

"Your Majesty wants to reward me for saving the driver?" Wu Fan guessed.

"You are not polite at all." The old emperor said. Wu Fan was obviously guessing, but in fact he was reminding him to remember the merits he had been rewarded for.

"Your Majesty always makes clear rewards and punishments, that's why I think so." Wu Fan said slightly embarrassed.

On the surface, Wu Fan seemed a little embarrassed, but he didn't feel that way in his heart. He had already made great achievements, so asking for some rewards was not too much.

"Don't worry, I will not miss you for your contribution." The old emperor said, but he did not say how to reward Wu Fan, but said: "Actually, I came to you this time because I have something to ask you. Do it.”

"What's the matter? Your Majesty, just ask." Wu Fanhao said angrily.

"I want you to go to Nanping Country!" the old emperor said word by word.

"Go to Nanping Country?" Wu Fan was startled. His residence was still harboring the three princesses of Nanping Country. Suddenly, he heard from the old emperor that he was told to go to Nanping Country. Wu Fan was startled, thinking that he things were exposed.

"Yes." The old emperor said with a serious face: "Since the assassination, I have asked people to investigate the situation in Nanping Country. Great changes have taken place in Nanping Country. The royal family members were almost slaughtered, and the only surviving fourth prince , after taking the throne, he quickly fell to the Shuiyue Kingdom and broke away from the control of our Yanfeng Kingdom. The Nanping Kingdom is close to our Yanfeng Kingdom. The country is mountainous and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now that the Shuiyue Kingdom exists, This makes me dare not send troops to attack easily. Once Shuiyue Kingdom completely controls Nanping Kingdom, it will be a huge threat to our Yanfeng Kingdom. It will successfully attack Shuiyue Kingdom’s bridgehead of our Yanfeng Kingdom, and take the initiative The power is still in their hands, which is very detrimental to us in Yanfeng Country. "

"Then what does Your Majesty want the minister to do in Nanping?" Wu Fan asked. He had already learned about some of the situation in Nanping at Li Ziyang's house at noon. Now that the old emperor said this, he also He further understood the seriousness of Nanping Kingdom's fall to Shuiyue Kingdom to Yanfeng Kingdom.

"I want you to assassinate the new emperor of Nanping Kingdom!" the old emperor said solemnly.

"What?" Wu Fan was startled: "Your Majesty, this... this is too embarrassing for a humble minister. The Nanping Country is also a good country, although it is not as big as our Yanfeng Country and not as strong as us. , but it is a country after all, and there will definitely be no shortage of guards around the new emperor. It is simply impossible for a minister to kill a heavily protected person in a heavily guarded palace. , Wei Chen’s abilities are limited, Your Majesty, you should ask someone else for this matter, right?”

Wu Fan felt that the old emperor was asking him to die. This was simply an impossible task. Even a top assassin would not dare to say that he could successfully assassinate the emperor of a country. Otherwise, once a war breaks out between two countries , directly sent assassins to assassinate the opponent's emperor, causing the opponent to fall into civil strife, and more than half of the war was won.

However, so far, only a handful of emperors have been assassinated.

Moreover, even if the assassination is successful, it is basically impossible to escape the scene safely. The old emperor does not know that Wu Fan is a player. Therefore, in Wu Fan's view, such a mission is to let him die, and die. , Wu Fan was obviously unwilling to do it.

However, Wu Fan forgot that he was not facing ordinary people, but His Majesty the Emperor who was in charge of the entire Yanfeng Kingdom. When he talked to Wu Fan about this matter, he was not discussing it with Wu Fan, but deciding that this was it. He said It is an imperial edict, and if you disobey it, it is a capital offense!

"I think you have this ability. Last time we were in the main hall, you were the first to discover the assassin's attempt and successfully stopped him. This shows that you are careful and skilled, and you are perfect for carrying out the assassination mission." Old The emperor said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I..." Wu Fan was quite speechless. He didn't expect that his performance last time not only failed to bring benefits to him, but also allowed him to passively take on such a difficult and dangerous job. .

"Stop talking, this matter is settled! As long as you complete your mission and return, I will not treat you badly." The old emperor interrupted.

Obviously, the old emperor has decided on this matter, and there is no room for Wu Fan to refute. Wu Fan sighed in his heart, this is indeed a companionship for the emperor, as he was talking and laughing to himself just now, saying that he would give himself a reward. , but his face changed in an instant, and he gave himself such a dangerous job without any hesitation.

As expected, your heart is unpredictable.

Just when Wu Fan was sighing in his heart, that familiar mechanical voice also came out to join in the fun.

"Ding! Trigger the mission: assassinate the Nanping Emperor Wu Xian! The mission is completed: reward a set of heaven-level internal skills, a random skill, a legendary herb, an immortal weapon, a five-level upgrade, and 50,000 gold coins. The mission failed. , Penalty None."

What a generous reward!

This is the mission with the most generous rewards that Wu Fan has encountered so far. But considering that this mission is to kill the king of a country, then such a reward makes sense. After all, the emperor is not that easy to kill. Moreover, how many emperors are there in the entire human world?

Wu Fan is not forced to accept this mission, but can Wu Fan accept it? The old emperor has made a golden statement here, that is the imperial edict. If he does not accept the task assigned by the old emperor, then he may not be able to walk out of this room alive.

accept!

Without much hesitation, Wu Fan chose to accept it directly. Anyway, the old emperor couldn't refuse it, so there was no need to refuse this task. If he really completed it, he could get double the reward.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he can complete the task and come back alive.

"Yes, I obey your order. I will do my best to complete the task assigned by your majesty." Wu Fan said to the old emperor.

"Yes." The old emperor nodded with satisfaction, and the expression on his face eased: "Zhao Yingfeng of the Sixun Department broke into your residence before and falsely accused you of harboring assassins. I have put him in jail. Don't worry, I will not let the meritorious ministers feel disappointed."

"If I didn't know that Zhao Qi was your most beloved seventh princess, I almost believed your lies." Wu Fan complained in his heart.

"By the way, you are also from Qingyuan County, and I just have something to ask you." The old emperor said.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Do you know about the rebel leader Qiu Yongchao?" The old emperor asked.

Ever since the Seventh Princess Zhao Qi mentioned the matter of County Magistrate Guo last time, the old emperor had doubts in his heart. He summoned Wu Fan today with the intention of asking about this matter.
