Chapter Twenty-Five: Assassination in the Night

It is said that the moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the day is on fire. The weather tonight was so suitable, but it was silent. The sound of sound sleep in the next room added some life to the dead night.

In a room on the second floor of the Cuiling Station, two people crept to the window. The sheet was tightly tied to the pillar in the shape of a rope, and just as he was about to open the window, he suddenly heard a sound from the roof tiles. Although the voice was very small, it was not difficult for Chen Yichen, who was born in Orion, to notice these changes.

"Shhhh Chen Yichen's hand was gently placed on his lips, signaling Li Wanwan not to make a sound for the time being, and pointed to the roof.

Although Li Wanwan's hearing was not as good as Chen Yichen's, she could also hear the sound from the roof. I don't know if the people above are intentional or unintentional, and the voice is not very small. Maybe it's the dead of night, thinking that the people in the room are already asleep and have no worries.

Is there a thief? Chen Yichen's heart rose to his throat, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. I secretly pondered in my heart, and it seems that flying eaves and walking on the wall is a must for people in the rivers and lakes. If memory serves, this should be the third time. Thinking of the first two experiences and consequences, I instantly felt hopeless, and a great shadow appeared in my heart.

More is better than less, and today you can't meddle in anything, let them do whatever they do, as long as it doesn't involve their own safety, they should treat it as if they didn't hear anything.

As soon as he made up his mind, he heard a whisper from the eaves: "This is it, everyone goes their separate ways." The third prince has an order to kill the person named Chen Yichen. Remember, this man is just a teenager, and he would rather be killed by mistake than let go. ”

"Big brother, we don't know where he is, and we are in a hurry to find him. ”

"Time is tight, and the task is urgent. What, what's your best idea?"

"We might as well set a fire and turn this Cuiling Post to ashes. Even if we can't burn him, we must always escape the moment we can take advantage of the chaos to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Good strategy. If this is done, I will definitely ask for a reward for you in front of the Third Highness. ”

"Thank you, eldest brother, it is an honor for the younger brother to serve under the command of the Third Highness. ”

"Everyone hides first, you take someone to set it on fire, and you have to carefully observe the young man who came out of the pavilion. ”

Through the window, I saw several dark shadows flying down from the roof. The beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping, and Chen Yichen's clothes were wet. Li Wanwan's guess was right, the imperial power really can't be provoked. The third prince, Xiao Mingxu, this name is completely imprinted in Chen Yichen's head.

"Brother Chen, put it on. Li Wanwan skillfully untied the twisted rope-like sheet, draped it on Chen Yichen's body, and said, "Cover your head and don't let them see what you look like." ”

After all, she is also kind, although Chen Yichen felt naΓ―ve, she didn't stop it. As she intended, she draped the sheet over her body, revealing only her two eyes.

The fire from the window soon spread to the second floor, and the plan to escape through the window was completely hopeless. By the light of the fire outside, he hurriedly glanced at it, and wanted to escape from here, but now he could only go out through the door.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger outside, and the smoke had long been pouring into the room along the windows, leaving no time for them to think about it. Chen Yichen dragged Li Wanwan's wrist and ran out of the door, and when he saw that he was about to reach the door, he heard a "clang" sound, and the door was kicked open.

Before anyone could see it clearly, a cold light flashed in front of him, Chen Yichen's heart tightened, and people came to kill him by name. The footsteps stopped in a hurry, but the body still rushed over involuntarily. Secret Dao: It's over, my life is over.

"Come with me. ”

The wrist was grabbed tightly, and when he heard the familiar voice of Hong Liang, it was a sigh of relief, and it turned out that it was not the enemy who kicked the door open, but the commander of Wu who acted as a groom all the way.

"Someone is going to kill me. Chen Yichen recognized the comer, this was the only hope, and followed him strode downstairs.

"I know. Commander Wu covered his nose and said, "If you don't want to die, come with me." ”

The three of them followed Commander Wu closely and went around the stairs straight to the backyard of the pavilion. Regarding the structure of the pavilion, Commander Wu had already observed, and many years of battlefield experience had made him develop a habit that he could not imagine using on the battlefield outside the battlefield.

With the help of the wind, the fire soon ignited, and the people who lived in the inn woke up one after another and ran out along the crowded staircase. Only the four of them ran down the stairs to the backyard.

The fire started from the front, and the backyard was safe for the time being. When Commander Wu opened the door of the backyard, he unexpectedly found two black-clothed men holding steel knives and yawning in front of the door.

"Who?"

"Who?"

Commander Wu spoke in unison with them, and it was redundant to ask, and the steel knives in each other's hands had already explained everything. However, the appearance of Chen Yichen and others was still unexpected by the two, and they were sent here to guard the door, and they didn't have much hope. Under normal logic, people will choose to run out of the main gate to escape. The person who laid out the layout thought of this and sent two people with the least martial arts skills to guard the back door. For these two people, it became a beautiful difference.

The unexpected is always caught off guard. Without the slightest precaution, the door in the backyard suddenly opened, and the half-yawned was forced back.

Commander Wu saw the steel knife in the hands of the two of them, and he already knew the other party's intention. Without saying a word, he stepped forward, waved the sharp blade in his hand and slashed at the throat of a person. In the end, it was the first to strike, there was no suspense, and when one person was still at a loss, the tip of the knife led by Wu slid through his throat.

Come on, the throat has been chopped, then let's die. I saw that he lowered his head, as if he still wanted to look at the wound and confirm it. The moment the whole person bowed his head, he fell forward and did not move.

"How can this be reasonable, in broad daylight, dare to commit murder with a knife. The other person was shocked into a cold sweat when he saw that his companion was fatally stabbed. people, I really haven't killed them.

His words made Commander Wu stunned, and secretly said in his heart: Could it be that he killed the wrong person? Looking at the other party's dress, wearing night clothes at night, can he be a good person, he slashed with a knife, and said, "This is especially night." I can't tell the difference between day and night, so what's the use of leaving you. ”

The martial arts are not high, it depends on who you compare with, and if you deal with Chen Yichen, you can be regarded as a master. Dealing with Commander Wu, he is naturally invincible, and he will not be killed by a knife when he is on guard. The man was killed just now, and it was a complete accident.

Seeing Commander Wu's big knife cut head-on, he took two steps back, waved the steel knife in his hand and slashed at Commander Wu's waist. Commander Wu didn't dare to slack off at all, he used force on his waist, the tip of his tongue was on the top of his teeth, and he jumped out of a person high on dry land, and successfully dodged this knife.

Commander Wu in mid-air turned his wrist, and the knife in his hand slashed towards the opponent's head as his body fell. The comer was not good, and when he saw this knife, the other party raised the steel knife in his hand to meet it. I only heard a crisp sound of "ding", and the two knives collided together to emit fire. Receiving the strong impact of Commander Wu, the person fell to his knees, clenched his teeth, and transmitted the strength of his body to his arms.

"you. Chen Yichen scolded loudly in his mouth, rushed over with an arrow step under his feet, and took out the short sword at some point and stabbed deeply into the opponent's heart.

Dealing with Commander Wu was already powerless, and without the slightest vigilance, he made a halfway way to bite the gold. It wasn't until he was stabbed in the chest with a short sword that he turned his eyes to see who had died.

"Boy, yes. Commander Wu kicked the dead body, pulled out a short sword for Chen Yichen, and said, "It's not long before this place is, everyone, leave with me quickly." ”

As soon as Commander Wu's words fell, he heard someone say slowly: "The person who killed me wants to leave, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Several people heard the sound at the same time, and just a few feet away, three men in black stood side by side. Although the sharp swords in their hands have not been unsheathed, it is not difficult to see that their skills are definitely higher than the two people who were killed.

"What a bold man to dare to openly attack the pavilion, do you know the consequences? Commander Wu shook the treasure knife in his hand, lowered his voice and said to Chen Yichen: "I entangle them, you take the opportunity to escape." ”

"Then what should you do?" Although Chen Yichen clenched the short sword, his hands kept trembling.

"Their target is you, and I have a way to get out. ”

As soon as Commander Wu finished speaking, he heard the other party say: "If you don't say it, who will know." ”

"Bah, you think too much of yourself and want to keep our mouths shut. Xiao Zichen suddenly picked up the steel knife left on the ground, held it in his hand, and reprimanded loudly: "Blatantly attacking the post station is a capital crime, but now that he is committing murder with a knife, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa." ”

"Hahaha, what an arrogant tone. The speaker slowly drew his sword and said, "The living may not be able to control it, but I will be able to control the mouth of the dead." ”

"Without further ado, let me see if you have the strength to shut me up. Commander Wu took over the conversation. He knew that the other party was not just these few people, and it was unknown how long the three people in front of him could deal with it, so he couldn't delay it, and a quick decision was the best choice.

"I'll hold them back, and you run away. As soon as Commander Wu's words fell, the person jumped, flew up more than one person in the air, and slashed at the three of them with the treasure knife in his hand.

Facing the rushing commander Wu, the three of them showed their blades one after another, and the four of them fought together. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yichen grabbed Li Wanwan's arm and ran into the distance, followed by Xiao Zichen.

From time to time, there was the sound of swords colliding from behind, which made Chen Yichen a little unbearable. Leaving Commander Wu here alone is also helpless, and he can't watch his beloved woman being threatened.

Glancing back in a hurry, Commander Wu looked a little struggling in the face of the siege of the three. At this moment, one of them jumped out of the battle group. Commander Wu had the intention to stop it, but he was caught between the two, and he had the intention to stop it, but he was helpless.

No matter how fast Chen Yichen's feet are, he is just an ordinary person, and in the face of the girl behind him and Xiao Zichen, who has not yet recovered, he can only slow down. According to Chen Yichen's observation, the martial arts of the chasing people should not be too high, and the foot strength is not very fast.

I don't know how far I ran in the dark, and the direction was even more unknown, and the only thing I could see was that the people behind me were getting tighter and tighter. All three were out of breath, their feet were getting slower, and the people who had come in search were already within reach.

"How can this be reasonable, you are still chasing after you, what do you want? Xiao Zichen didn't know where he was so angry, he stopped, gasped in his mouth, and said, "You guys go quickly, I'll entangle him." ”

"Can you entangle him?" Chen Yichen saw him stop, it was estimated that he couldn't run, and now there were two people facing him alone, and it couldn't be said that there was no chance of winning at all, but the odds were too slim.

"Horizontal and vertical are dead, fight, you go quickly. Xiao Zichen held the steel knife in his hand, pointed at the person who came slowly, and said angrily: "You stop." ”

The people who came were really frightened by this angry shout. Thinking that the other party had some trap, he stood still and looked around. smiled: "What, are you going to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy?"

"Brother Zichen, I'm afraid we are not his opponents," Chen Yichen clenched his short sword, protected Li Wanwan behind him, and said in a low voice, "Wan'er, you go first." ”

"No, we have to go together, we have to die together. "Li Wanwan has already made the worst plan, and she will die together.

"Silly girl, you have to go. Only if you go first, we can fight as best we can, trust me. Chen Yichen said with great certainty, and there was no room for negotiation.

"How about it, have you discussed it, as long as you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, the uncle can spare your life. The tone of voice when he spoke revealed that the martial arts of the person who came were indeed average.
