Chapter 314: Assassination Failed
Reinforcements from the General's Mansion arrived here and killed all the black-clad killers who had not yet surrendered and were still resisting. In the end, only one killer leader who gave orders was still struggling to support him, and it was just a futile effort to hold on for a while.
was stabbed in the ribs by a sword, although it is not a vital point, but it is also a matter of who the sword came from. For a top-level martial artist like the mysterious black-clothed killer, once he hits any part of his body, if his physique is not strong enough, I am afraid it will also be the result of death.
Fortunately, after many years of martial arts, Meng Tian's body can still withstand the injuries of this sword. With Li You's support, Meng Tian slowly walked outside the battle circle of the killer leader, and then said softly: "Don't kill him, I want to live." ”
In this way, the leader of the killer continued to hold on for a while, and it was only for a while, when he was kicked in the knee by an elite black-armored soldier of the Meng Family Army, causing him to kneel forward, and then several long swords were placed on his neck, making him unable to move.
"Put him in the house first, and take care of it. ”
"Yes, General. ”
After taking care of everything here, Meng Tian continued to sit back in the carriage, and then returned to the General's Mansion under the escort of everyone.
The lights in the General's Mansion were bright, and after receiving the warning signal from the Meng Family's Army, all the generals in the General's Mansion almost poured out, and Zi Yanran and Meng Tianci had not yet fallen asleep, sitting in the hall waiting for Meng Tian's return.
Seeing that Meng Tian was being carried back home, Zi Yanran and Meng Tianci hurriedly ran forward to check Meng Tian's wounds. Fortunately, there was a famous doctor in the general's mansion, and after applying good medicine and bandaging, the famous doctor who treated Meng Tian's wound said that Meng Tian's sword wound was not enough to be fatal, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Tianci brought his father a cup of hot tea, and then asked his father, "Father, who are the people who came to assassinate me tonight?"
Meng Tian shook his head, he didn't know the masters behind these killers, but looking at the style of these black-clothed killers tonight, it was quite similar to some killer organizations in the six countries before, and there was also the mysterious killer who defeated Jing Ke, a person with such skills was either a lone person or a head figure of a huge killer organization. It's just that now with the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, many killer organizations have also been pulled up by the Qin army one after another, and a lot of information has been lost in the war.
"I don't know the origin of these people, but since they dare to attack me in Xianyang City, there must always be a powerful person behind them to escort them. Meng Tian thought for a moment and then said.
Li You also sat in the hall, and he said: "Yes, I am the person in charge of guarding Xianyang City, as far as I know, the place where we were assassinated tonight was originally a place where the army guarding Xianyang City was very strict in patrolling, and I don't know why we were there for nearly an hour tonight, and we didn't see these people. It looks like they must have received some order so that they wouldn't be there. ”
"Who is this little general?" Zi Yanran thought that Li You was a soldier of the Meng family army beside Meng Tian, but after listening to Li You's words at this time, she knew that she was wrong.
Meng Tian slapped his forehead, and he said to Li You: "Look, I forgot if Yanran didn't say anything." Yanran, God-given, this is the beloved son of the Prime Minister, and it is also my new disciple today, named Li You. Li You, this is your master, that is my son, a godsend. ”
Li You knelt down to Zi Yanran and said, "Li You visits the master." ”
Zi Yanran smiled and walked over to help Li You up, she said: "I have long heard that the Prime Minister has a dignified son-in-law, but I have never seen it, and when I see it today, it is true." Come, God, I've seen you Brother Li You. ”
Meng Tianci walked up to his mother, looked at his father's new apprentice, folded his fists and bent down and said, "Tianci greets my brother." ”
Li You also responded with a fist: "In the future in the Mengjia army, I hope that the brothers of God will take more care." ”
Meng Tian looked at Li You and said, "Li You, it's getting late today, you can stay in the house, I'm afraid that you won't be safe on the way back." Yanran, you go and take someone to clean up the guest room and let Li You stay. ”
Zi Yanran nodded, she patted Li You's shoulder affectionately, and then left the hall with her maid.
Meng Tian asked the subordinates in the mansion to serve Li You a cup of hot tea, and then said: "Tonight's incident, it seems that someone should be trying to harm me, but this time they didn't succeed, I don't know when they will appear next time." ”
Meng Tianci said to his father: "Father, do you want to tell Your Majesty about this matter, and let Your Majesty investigate it thoroughly in Xianyang City." I don't believe it, we can't find out where these people come from. ”
Li You agreed with Meng Tianci's statement, if this matter was said by Meng Tian tomorrow in the court of the Qin State, I am afraid it would not be something that could be described by an uproar. In Xianyang City, someone dared to assassinate the generalissimo of Qin, and it was not far from the gate of the General's Mansion, and it was not an exaggeration to say that such a force was a little terrifying in Xianyang City. After all, there are so many princes and nobles in Xianyang City, who knows if the next one to die at his door will not be himself.
Li You opened his mouth and said: "I think this matter can be said or not. ”
"If I catch these men, I will surely cut them with a thousand swords. Meng Tianci disagreed with Li You's words.
Meng Tian stopped Meng Tianci's words, and then motioned for Li You to continue.
Li You was affirmed by his master, and he said to Meng Tianci: "This matter is indeed not small tonight, but if it is really said that it will not help us to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and they know that this time the movement is so big, they will definitely not take action lightly again." ”
After a pause, Li You continued: "On the contrary, if we attribute this matter to the hatred of the rebel remnants of the Six Kingdoms against Master, and carry out this assassination, then our opponents will think that we do not know their intentions, and then relax our vigilance, and then we will have the opportunity to investigate slowly. ”
"Li You is right, God, you are still young, don't be too rash. I think about this matter is similar to what Li You thinks, I think tonight's incident is also the opponent's temporary intention, and they know my route from the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, it seems that our opponent is not an ordinary person. Fortunately, I took advantage of this incident to recuperate at home for a while and investigate the timing of this assassination. ”
"Master is wise. Li You said to Meng Tian.
At this time, a maid walked in and said to Meng Tian: "General Qiyu, the guest room has been cleaned up, and Madame invites General Li to go and rest." ”
"Okay, Li You, you can have a good rest tonight. Continue to return to the defenders of Xianyang City tomorrow, as if nothing has happened, and I will transfer you to the Mengjia army in two days. Meng Tian stood up and said to Li You.
Li You was overjoyed when he heard this, and it was one of his dreams to enter the Mengjia Army. "Thank you, Master. ”
Tonight, it was not only Meng Tian's General's Mansion that was also lit up all night, but also Zhao Gao's CRRC Mansion Lingfu.
Zhao Gao sat on the main seat in the hall, and behind him was a good-looking maid massaging his shoulder. Zhao Gao's head rested between the ravines in the maid's chest, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
Zhao Yu was also sitting in the hall, and compared to Zhao Gao's calmness, the minister in charge of the money bag of the Great Qin Empire seemed a little restless.
Tonight's actions are related to his life and death, and he hasn't seen anyone come back yet, I don't know if they killed Meng Tian halfway, which made Zhao Yu's heart go up and down, and he sipped the tea in front of him without a sip, and he was absent-minded about the same service of the maid behind him.
Zhao Gao opened his eyes slightly, looked at his clan brother, and said softly: "Didn't I say it, what is there to worry about, if this person makes a move tonight, Meng Tian will definitely die, even if he doesn't die, he can't escape if he is seriously injured." At least, he didn't have the strength to track down the treasury anymore. ”
Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Gao, he put down the teacup in his hand that he didn't know how many times he had drunk it again, and said: "But, but after all, it is Meng Tian, who doesn't know that Meng Tian not only leads the troops to fight, but also his own martial arts are also a rare opponent in this world." Although you said that it was the ace you recruited to kill him this time, I was still a little worried. ”
Zhao Yu put the water cup on the table, and the maid beside him hurriedly added it for him.
Zhao Gao left his head out of the soft place and said to Zhao Yu: "Don't worry, the killers sent this time are all outlaws I secretly recruited in the Six Kingdoms, and they have long been familiar with such things. Especially him, there are many masters who have died in his hands over the years, after all, he is the one who defeated Jing Ke, who is known as the number one assassin in the world, and it should not be difficult to kill Meng Tian. ”
As soon as Zhao Gao's words fell, a crisp sound from outside the mansion entered the hall, although it was far away, but in this quiet night, it was still heard clearly in the CRRC Mansion Lingfu.
Before Zhao Gao could send someone to investigate what the sound was, a dark shadow entered the hall directly from outside the hall and sat opposite Zhao Yu.
Seeing this uninvited guest clearly, Zhao Yu was a little surprised, and just wanted to call someone in, and then he heard Zhao Gao ask this person: "How is the matter going? Is Meng Tian dead?"
Entering the hall was the mysterious killer who stabbed Meng Tian with a sword and fled in the chaos, still wearing a cloak on his head.
"I stabbed Meng Tian with a sword, but it didn't hit him in the vital point. A voice came from under the cloak.
"So Meng Tian is not dead? is this the trump card you are talking about?" Zhao Yu said to Zhao Gao after listening to the words of the mysterious killer, it was obvious that he had some faith in the ability of this trump card in Zhao Gao's mouth.
"Then do you think this sword will kill you?" As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck, and then a voice sounded in his ears.
