The Frontier Years Chapter 66 Assassination
"Thank you, sister. Lei Shaoxuan said gratefully.
"It's rude to call Miss Timuran," the woman said with some dissatisfaction. My name is Ah Xiang, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
After speaking, Ah Xiang handed Lei Shaoxuan a baked dough cake.
Lei Shaoxuan immediately understood that Ah Xiang had already prepared the cake, even if Timulan did not leave Lei Shaoxuan, Ah Xiang would give him this cake.
This is a careful and kind girl, Lei Shaoxuan was very moved in his heart, and he couldn't help but have a deep affection for Ah Xiang.
"Sister Xiang, I'll work first, and I'll eat later. Lei Shaoxuan took the dough, put it in his pocket, and turned around to move things.
Working together can always integrate into a team the fastest, and it can also show a person's character the most.
Lei Shaoxuan is young, but he works very realistically, he follows closely behind Ah Xiang, as long as it is a slightly heavier cargo, Lei Shaoxuan quickly stepped forward to grab it, and soon Lei Shaoxuan became familiar with Ah Xiang and others, and also won everyone's love.
Especially Ah Xiang, Lei Shaoxuan was brought in by her, and she originally had a natural sense of intimacy with Lei Shaoxuan, and felt that she had the responsibility to take care of Lei Shaoxuan.
A morning passed quickly, Lei Shaoxuan said goodbye to Ah Xiang, went back to get his luggage, and made an appointment to come over officially tomorrow.
Early the next morning, before dawn, all the people who carried out the assassination mission gathered in Jiang Qing's house to clarify their respective tasks again and confirm the assassination location of each person.
All the sergeants hugged and said goodbye to their teammates, and all knew that many of them would remain on the land forever after this mission.
Lei Shaoxuan walked calmly in front of Jiang Qing, Jiang Qing felt very uncomfortable, looking at the calm and resolute young man, Jiang Qing felt sorry for Lei Shaoxuan, this assassination mission, there was no comprehensive retreat plan, which meant that many people would die here.
Lei Shaoxuan was desperately learning Hu Yu during training, practicing Hu Dao, deliberately blackening his own skin, others did not pay attention to these, as the general responsibility of the task, how could Jiang Qing not carefully observe everyone in the team? He had already seen it in his eyes, and he could roughly guess what Lei Shaoxuan wanted to do, and he couldn't help but be surprised by Lei Shaoxuan, this young man was so shrewd, but this method was not suitable for other people, Jiang Qing could only see it in his eyes, but he couldn't say it clearly.
This kid is not an ordinary person, shrewd and resolute, this is Jiang Qing's evaluation of Lei Shaoxuan. Seeing Lei Shaoxuan's careful preparation, Jiang Qing secretly took care of him during the training camp.
When determining the location of the assassination, Jiang Qing surveyed everyone's location, and at the same time understood Lei Shaoxuan's plan? Jiang Qing did not break it, and silently blessed Lei Shaoxuan in his heart, hoping that he could succeed.
"Take care. Jiang Qing hugged Lei Shaoxuan and whispered to Lei Shaoxuan, "After the assassination is completed, whether it is successful or not, the task will be completed." There is no time limit for this mission, and I have already given an order that after the assassination is completed, you can retreat on your own, or you can take the opportunity to lurk on the spot, and this order has been filed in the forward battalion. ”
Lei Shaoxuan looked at Jiang Qing in surprise, and Jiang Qing nodded at him.
is ready to leave the team on his own, in fact, Lei Shaoxuan is quite apprehensive in his heart, it is a big taboo to do his own thing in the army, and he is classified as a deserter if he disobeys military orders.
Jiang Qing's order allowed him to stay justifiably, completely dispelling all concerns.
Shaman's Day is the most solemn festival of the Hu people, and colorful flags flutter everywhere on the streets.
The most important festival is naturally the most lively market day, everyone dresses up, the face is full of smiles, the children are even more elated, the most frugal Abba and Aunt, will also meet the child's wishes a little, buy a small piece of candy, a string of sugar gourds, a small rag doll......
The streets are bustling with people buying, selling, juggling, lounging...... All kinds of people shuttle back and forth, colorful flags flutter everywhere, a prosperous and lively festival atmosphere.
The sun rose three poles, and in the distance there sounded the melodious, vast sound of trumpets, the sound of which filled the sky, and the shamans blew the brass trumpets, and the procession began.
The sergeants cleared a passage through the bustling crowd on North Street for the procession to pass, but made the crowds on both sides of the street even more crowded.
The mighty procession started from the City Lord's Mansion and walked slowly along the North Street.
At the head of the procession were twenty tall warriors, dressed in bright brown leather armor and fur hats, holding scimitars in their left hands and large banners in their right hands.
Sixteen shamans followed the samurai, dressed in reddish-brown robes, shaking a drum in their left hand and holding a wooden staff in their right hand, on which there was a small branch of leaves.
Then eight people carried a large wooden couch, on which sat a shaman, wearing a brocade tail feather hat, wearing a white wizard's robe, holding a five-colored beaded bracelet, and constantly waving to the crowd on both sides.
Seeing the wizard procession, the crowds on both sides cheered "Ula", and the sound came and went.
Beside the Great Wizard stood four girls in long white dresses, holding flower baskets in their hands, and constantly spreading flowers on both sides.
The cheers were louder.
"It's coming. Lei Shaoxuan took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at the team in front of him - the target appeared.
A young bearded man, riding a tall red horse, followed closely behind the great wizard, this person was wearing a white beard, a bearded hat, a red cloak embroidered with a golden holy wolf pattern, a bearded knife with an ivory scabbard inlaid with gold hanging from his waist, the handle of the knife was decorated with various colored gems, he held the handle of the knife, held the red reins in his hand, and kept nodding to the surrounding crowd, looking handsome and chic.
This was the goal of the expedition of Yeroderian, the second son of the Great Khan, and the vanguard battalion.
The procession passed in front of the restaurant and marched slowly, and everywhere it passed, cheers and cheers attracted the attention of the crowds on both sides of the street.
Lei Shaoxuan quietly held his bow and arrows and hid them in his cloak.
Suddenly, several strings of lit firecrackers were thrown into the procession following the high priest, and instantly "crackled" and rang out, and the crowd of onlookers and the women who spread flowers were frightened and scattered, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The horses in the ranks neighed in fright, and the samurai desperately pulled the reins to comfort and control the horses with all their might.
Not far from the chaotic crowd, Jeroderian also tightened his reins, and stood up on his horse, cursing in his heart, that bastard threw firecrackers, and charged the high priest, and disrupted the procession, and caught the skin.
At this moment, two arrows suddenly sounded in the sky, and more than a dozen figures flashed out of the crowd, holding bows and arrows aimed at Yelu Dailiang and shot out.
The arrows broke through the air, and a little black light went straight to Yelu Dailiang, and Yelu Dailiang suddenly lost his soul.
"Assassins. Jeroderian cried out in despair, his helpless cries drowned out by the sound of chaos.
Jeroderian stood upright on his stirrup, and had nowhere to dodge with his strength, let alone dismount, and the only thing he could do was to lean over the saddle.
More than a dozen arrows shot out from all directions on all sides, sealing all angles, and with a merciless sound of breaking the air, he pinned Yelu Dailiang to his horse.
Jeroderian struggled in agony, fell into the saddle, and never moved again.
The horse was suddenly frightened and neighed and rushed forward, the crowd was even more confused, and before the guards could react, firecrackers were already lit everywhere in the streets, and suddenly the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the crowd became even more chaotic.
Everywhere there were screams, shouts, neighing horses, stampedes...... There was a mess, and the crowd was desperately scattered in all directions.
"There are assassins, there are assassins......" The guards finally reacted, screaming around.
"Assassin ......"
“......”
After Lei Shaoxuan shot the arrow, he immediately threw away the bow and arrow, did not look back, and dodged and hid in the narrow alley.
Lei Shaoxuan didn't stop for a moment, quickly took off his coat, revealing the Hu Ren clothes that he had already woon, carrying his burden, climbing over the low wall, entering the north of the city, wandering around the bustling crowd for a few times, and went straight to Tianxiang Pavilion and entered the backyard.
There were not many people in the backyard, most of the guys went back to the tribe yesterday, only Ah Xiang and a few guys were busy.
Seeing Lei Shaoxuan coming over as promised, Ah Xiang was very happy and said affectionately: "You came, I thought you would come over at noon." ”
"Sister Xiang, I brought all my luggage here. Lei Shaoxuan said, putting down the burden.
Ah Xiang asked Lei Shaoxuan to move his luggage to a room, the room was a large bunk, Hu people usually sleep in a bunk, Lei Shaoxuan randomly put the luggage on an empty bunk.
"Sister Xiang, what do you want me to do?" Lei Shaoxuan said impatiently.
"Are you tired, if you are tired, take a rest first, your work lady has an arrangement." Ah Xiang asked with concern.
"Not tired. Lei Shaoxuan was eager to try.
Tianxiang Pavilion is a spice shop, but it is not a spice for cooking, but a spice for makeup or decoration. There are all kinds of rouge, perfume, balm, incense...... A variety of spices, a dazzling array of spices, fill all the counters. What surprised Lei Shaoxuan was that all such spices were made by Tianxiang Pavilion himself, with the mark of Tianxiang Pavilion.
In the front is a storefront, in the backyard is a spice-making workshop, and a warehouse full of medicinal herbs.
Lei Shaoxuan thought that he was here to do coolies, but Timulan asked Lei Shaoxuan to go to the medicinal materials warehouse to help carry and sort out the medicinal materials. This work is very hard, it is a kind of low-level work, but you can know all kinds of medicinal materials, which is a very promising job, after all, this is a technical job. It's just that Lei Shaoxuan just came, and he had to start with the hardest work, such as sweeping the floor, wiping the windowsill medicine cabinet, and carrying medicinal materials.
You don't have to go out for this job, which is exactly what Lei Shaoxuan wants.
Not long after Lei Shaoxuan entered Tianxiang Pavilion, there were all kinds of noises outside the courtyard, and the market was in chaos, with all kinds of horseback riding, shouting and scolding, and shouting and killing...... The guys in the warehouse looked at each other, and some of them hurried to the front yard to inquire.
Lei Shaoxuan just lowered his head and swept the floor, completely ignoring what was happening outside, nor participating in other people's discussions, and looked like he didn't care about himself, which was in line with the characteristics of a newcomer.
