Chapter 42: Assassination
Night came as scheduled, and the night markets around the city had not yet dispersed, but only the official residences of officials were silent.
Except for a few guards patrolling the official residence, no one else will step into this street, and the night is getting deeper, and the two of them are still sorting out official documents in the Shangshu Mansion.
After a long time, Zuo Servant looked at Luo Qian, who was still sorting out the official documents, and said, "Luo Servant, why didn't you see your guards guarding the door today?" ”
Luo Qian was just competent to shoot the right servant, and this left servant shot really didn't speculate, listening to the left servant's words, he frowned, "Yesterday I suddenly stayed overnight, and I didn't feel at ease at home, so I sent a few guards, don't be surprised by Liang servant shooting." ”
The left servant sneered, shook his head, and said no more.
Luo Qian sighed silently, he was already walking on thin ice in the officialdom, after this incident, many people are making irresponsible remarks, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to go in the future!
It took a long time, until the shoulders were sore, and the waist was bent, then I gave up, and when I went out of the house, I could vaguely hear the sound of the street watching, a pause, two sounds in a row, and it was already three watches.
When it comes to the fourth watch, it is time to go to the morning court.
After squinting for a while, the two of them slept on the makeshift simple bed, perhaps tired, and soon fell asleep.
There was a sound of shooing outside the window, but a few people dressed in black jumped into the courtyard to avoid the guards, and when they saw that the light in the room had been extinguished, they couldn't help but nod.
The person who walked in front waved his hand to the person behind, and the mermaid in the back rushed in, and there were as many as ten people.
The person at the top of the line took out something from his body, poked a hole in the window paper, put the thing in, and blew on it, and it gave off a burst of fragrance, so that people fainted and slept more deadly.
His fingers touched the door of the house, and he was about to push the door to enter, but he heard shouts from outside the courtyard, "Go to the water, go to the water." ”
was stunned for a moment, but someone jumped into the courtyard and walked directly to the door, blocking the person's way.
Ah Wu was also dressed in black, and looked at the leader defensively, "Who are you?" Dare to assassinate the imperial court. ”
The leader saw that one person had been killed halfway, gritted his teeth, and whispered to the people behind him, "Brothers, those who stand in the way, die." ”
When he came, the man had already confessed that he must kill people, otherwise a few of them would be unable to escape, and there was only one person in front of them, and could they still block their way?
I just came back to my senses, but I saw that there were three more people in the courtyard, and they looked at them angrily, and the person who led them smiled and waved their hands, ten to four, they were still very sure.
There was a lot of fighting in the courtyard, where the weapons collided, ping-pong sounded, and the guards who had just patrolled seemed to be asleep, and no one appeared.
And Ah Wu and the other four people surrounded these ten people together, and these ten people couldn't get a bargain, so the man shouted again, "Brothers, if you don't want to die, just rush me." ”
Then he casually pointed to the two of them, "You two, wait for me to go in." ”
Ah Jiu frowned, these people, obviously tried their best, the sword on the left just dodged, but the right side stabbed with a sword, while trying to prevent the people behind him from sneaking attack, and on the other hand, they were afraid that they would break into the house, it was really difficult.
"Eleven, you come and guard the door."
Eleven had just come down there, but someone stabbed him with a sword, and the road to the door of the house was really difficult to walk.
The four of them were surrounded by two people, and they had no time to take care of the extra two, seeing that the two people were about to break into the door, the four of them gritted their teeth and fought harder, and the movements were more and more rapid, but there were more and more flaws exposed.
They were still in the middle of the confinement, the two had already entered, Ah Jiu shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly jumped up, stepped on the two of them, jumped into the house, and rushed to the two of them, stabbing each other with swords, forcing the two to stop and turn around to take the call.
After going back and forth, Ah Jiu actually passed ten moves with a few of them.
Seeing that the two sides are deadlocked, and now that the noise is so loud, that no one has come to help, I know that this matter is tired.
Gradually, Eleven followed the two killers into the house, and after fighting for more than half an hour, Ah Jiu and Eleven gradually lost their physical strength, and when the killer saw that his hand was empty, a sword stabbed at the person who had slept dead on the bed, and there was also a killer on the other side who stabbed the sword.
When Ah Jiu and Eleven saw it, they hurriedly stretched out their hands to block it, and although the killer stabbed the sword off, they could still hear the sound of the sword entering the flesh and bones.
Ah Jiu gritted his teeth and looked at Eleven, "Inform the lord!" ”
They're probably not going to be able to complete their mission. If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that a few of them won't be able to go back.
Eleven stretched out his hand and took out two things from his waist, and they struck each other and ignited them, and then threw them out of the house, only to hear a sound, and the light of the fire rushed into the sky, as if it were bright day.
Ah Wu and Fifteen outside the house couldn't hold on and were about to fall, but they heard a voice outside the courtyard, and at this time, only Ah Fifty-five and the killer were left in the courtyard, and there were Ah Ninety-one and the killer in the house.
The remaining killers naturally heard the footsteps, but it was too late to get out, until the courtyard gate was pushed open, and several of them couldn't leave.
When Ah Wu and Fifteen saw someone helping, their hearts were relieved, their legs weakened, and they fell down.
A person walked in slowly from outside the courtyard, and when he saw that the people inside had been cleaned up, he directly ordered, "Kill it!" ”
The leader of the killers led by Fang Cai was stunned, looked at the comer, and hurriedly asked, "You don't interrogate how many of us?" ”
The man looked at them contemptuously, stretched out his hand and flicked the dust on his sleeve, and acted casually, with a very luxurious style, "Is it necessary?" ”
The leader gritted his teeth, at this moment, several of them were selfless and useless, "If you can let a few of us go, I will tell you about the people behind the scenes." ”
"Who's behind it?" The man snorted, "You really dare to say you know." ”
With a wave of his hand, several people died by the sword.
Ah Jiu and Eleven were each injured by a sword, but the injury was in the left arm, which was not a major injury, but they hurriedly knelt down, "My subordinates are incompetent, please punish Lord Situ." ”
But the man didn't even look at the two of them, "The lord has an order, and in two days you two days will go back to the valley." ”
Before the words fell, the man went out of the courtyard.
Ah Jiu and Eleven knelt in place, looking at each other, returning to the valley, which means repatriation, they came out of the blood of the hundred, but they are going to return to their homeland, is the lord disappointed in the two of them?
It is also that his skills are not as good as others, and Qu Qu can put them in such a bad situation by killing people, no wonder the lord wants to send the two of them back.
After a long time, the sound outside was noisy, it was the fourth watch, many people had risen, and officials at all levels also rushed to the court, the two of them stood up and went back to the house, and the left and right servants shot a sword in each body, Fang woke up from the incense, but fainted in pain.
Luo Qian's sword was pierced in the left ribs, an inch away from the heart, and the left servant shot was a little better, the sword was stabbed in the shoulder, and his life was already worry-free.
The sword wound was inconvenient to move, so Eleven went to the market and invited Lang Zhong to take a look and make plans.
