Watch again, please remember us at MobileReader.com

By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the rain had not stopped for a whole day, and the scattered raindrops fell on the crowd in front of the city gate, and even the clothes were not wet, leaving only a few marks.

There was still half an hour before the city gate was closed, and the number of people entering and leaving gradually increased, waiting for their identities to be verified and released.

Wu Zhengxiang took the reins, stopped beside the carriage, bent down and asked Xu Wanzhen in the carriage: "There are a lot of people, I'm afraid it will take some time, but do you feel hungry?" ”

Xu Wanzhen replied through the curtain of the carriage: "Husband doesn't need to worry, even if you are hungry, there are pastries in the carriage." ”

Sang Zi, who was waiting for Xu Wanzhen, stuck out his tongue and said, "Fortunately, I prepared it in advance, otherwise I would definitely suffer a lesson from the second son." ”

Xu Wenyu opened a pair of big black grape-like eyes, and turned around Xu Wanzhen's face for a while, before he suddenly nodded as if he realized: "It turns out that my brother-in-law cares so much about my sister." ”

Listening to his fairy tales, Xu Wanzhen's pretty face turned red for no reason, but she didn't know what to say.

Wu Zhengxiang had just straightened his waist, and at this moment, his hairs stood on end, and he felt a murderous aura like substance. In the next breath, the crossbow arrows that had been pitch black were as fast as lightning, heading towards his front door.

Wu Zhengxiang hit a carp on the horse, avoiding the crossbow arrow, and his right hand was like a thunderbolt, grabbing the tail of the arrow in the last breath. I don't know what kind of crossbow it is, it can shoot a crossbow arrow with such strength, and it was caught in Wu Zhengxiang's hand, and the arrow body was still trembling slightly.

Xu Wenmin exclaimed in surprise, "Brother-in-law, be careful! ”

Some people in the crowd saw this scene and exclaimed one after another, and the originally neat procession suddenly became riotous.

Xu Wan was really talking to Xu Wenyu, and she heard a commotion outside, she opened the curtain of the car and asked, "What happened?" ”

Wu Zhengxiang quickly lowered the curtain she had lifted, and said in a deep voice: "Someone stabbed her, but it's okay!" ”

Xu Wan was really confused, and asked anxiously, "Is the husband injured?" ”

"No, don't worry, lady." Wu Zhengxiang replied outside.

Xu Wanzhen calmed down and stopped talking. As long as he is not injured, then everything is well said, and she believes in his abilities.

"Sister, what's going on?" Xu Wenyu's face was a little pale, but there was excitement in his eyes.

Xu Wanzhen picked him up and said softly, "Someone stabbed your brother-in-law, but he will deal with it." Yu'er sit down, don't be afraid, we can't make trouble for him. ”

"Stabbing?" Xu Wenyu asked in surprise: "Does my brother-in-law have any enemies, how can he assassinate?" ”

In his small mind, he couldn't understand for a while how this kind of word, which only appeared in the Jianghu script, could suddenly appear in his own life and be so close to himself.

Xu Wanzhen thought for a moment and explained, "It doesn't have to be an enemy. In this world, there are like-minded people, and there are also people who are hostile to you because they affect the interests of the other party. Sister Ah doesn't know what's going on right now, but Yu'er, you have to remember that as long as you have a clear conscience, don't stop because of other people's eyes. ”

Xu Wenyu nodded as if he didn't understand, but these words had a great impact on his entire life later.

Wu Zhengxiang grabbed the crossbow arrow in his hand and sat up straight on the back of his horse, his eagle-like gaze slowly sweeping through the crowd that was chaotic for a moment.

At the same time that the crossbow arrow was caught by him, Wu Rui had already jumped out of the accompanying guards and headed towards the direction where the crossbow arrow was shot.

The crowd pushed and shoved, and from time to time there were bursts of exclamations, interspersed with the cries of children. The guards at the gates shouted loudly, trying to restore the crowd to its original state, but in vain.

His eyes swept over two circles, and he didn't find anything abnormal, Wu Zhengxiang used his internal strength to bloom spring thunder: "Stop!" ”

His voice exploded above the people's heads like a thunderclap, and the crowd suddenly froze, and even the children stopped crying.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wu Zhengxiang took out his waist card, slowly showed it to everyone, and said: "A certain is the commander of the cavalry guard, and he was ordered to arrest the thieves. Wait for you to enter and exit in order, and do not panic. If anyone does not obey the command, he will be punished as a thief. ”

As soon as these words came out, the commotion of the crowd immediately quieted down. If you change to someone else, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve this effect. But Wu Zhengxiang's murderous reputation, as long as people who beg for a living in Beijing, have heard of one or two.

The few soldiers guarding the door breathed a sigh of relief, if he hadn't spoken, they wouldn't have been able to suppress the crowd that had already been startled. A representative was specially sent to thank Wu Zhengxiang.

"Your humble lord has seen the military commander, if there is an order, obey the dispatch."

The soldiers guarding the city gate belonged to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and they had no direct subordinate relationship with Wu Zhengxiang. But Wu Zhengxiang is a second-rank military general, and it is not a problem to order a few soldiers.

"Guard the gates, and don't bother with anything else." Wu Zhengxiang commanded.

"Yes!" The representative of the soldier bowed his hand and withdrew. Wu Zhengxiang had guards by his side, and he didn't really need their help, but this attitude still had to be expressed.

The crowd returned to order, and the carriage of the Chungkook Mansion also mixed in with the carriage and slowly moved forward.

Wu Zhengxiang let Xu Wenmin into the carriage as well. He has no martial arts on him, and if he becomes a target, the consequences are unpredictable. It is safer to be in a carriage without being in direct sight than on a horse.

He looked around warily, but there had been no movement since the sudden bolt.

This is obviously premeditated, and it is the style of those top killers on the rivers and lakes. One hit misses, and the shadow escapes thousands of miles. It's just that who is going to take his own life?

The crossbow arrow came quickly and ruthlessly, and he sniffed it carefully, and there was a special smell on the blackened arrow that was not easy to detect. I don't know what it is, but it's certainly not a good thing.

With such an arrow, Wu Zhengxiang had no doubt that the purpose of this assassination was to take his own life.

After the tea effort, Wu Rui turned his horse around, and when he came to Wu Zhengxiang's side, he whispered: "My subordinates are incompetent, and when I got there, I only saw a thousand-stone crossbow, but the person was long gone, leaving no trace." ”

Wu Zhengxiang nodded, not blaming him. He had already expected such an outcome. Such a top-level killer in the rivers and lakes has been premeditated for a long time, how can he wait for someone to capture him without moving?

waved his hand, motioned for him to walk forward together, and said, "This matter will be investigated slowly." As long as his target is me, I don't believe that he won't leave a trace. ”

Wu Rui suggested: "The guards around the master can be doubled. In this way, it can be calmly arranged. ”

Wu Zhengxiang nodded in agreement.

But somehow, there was always a dark cloud pressing on his heart, which could not be dissipated.

reminded him of the celebration banquet held in the palace three years ago, which was as fierce as today, and there was no trace afterwards. Even though the shadow guards exhausted their manpower, they were unable to find the existence of the enemy.

This made him feel faintly uneasy in his heart. Target No. 014- Mobile Reading Network is always looking forward to your return
