(706) Speculation
- Wang Chi and the others hide sideways behind the large pillar at the entrance of the teahouse in order to avoid the hidden weapons thrown by the assassins. Fortunately, this teahouse is built with two floors, and there is a viewing tower at the front of the second floor, so the first floor needs to erect stout wooden pillars to stabilize the building, otherwise anyone standing on the stone lawn in front of the door of this teahouse may be difficult to avoid the mosquito-like dense hidden weapons without dead ends.
But at this time, I saw that the side of this stout pillar facing the door of the tea house was densely nailed with diamond-shaped hidden vessels, as if the pillar was covered with coarse cold hairs in an instant, and each of these cold hairs was hard and sharp. Whoever suddenly saw this scene couldn't help but be stunned.
As the party who was thrown by the hidden weapon, if anyone in Wang Chi's group saw this side of the pillar, they might not be able to stop thinking that if so many hidden weapons were inserted into people, the pain would probably be more terrible than death.
And the group of black-clothed masked assassins who took the initiative to throw hidden weapons, when they saw such a dense group of hidden weapons firing at once, they had not been able to take the life of the target person, and even the two guards of the target person only injured some skin, it is conceivable that some people in this group of assassins may inevitably be anxious at this time.
But the destructive power of the explosion of the black pill is too terrifying, whoever steps forward first will either get close to the target person first, or take the first step to die. Looking at the few companions who were stunned by the sparks from the black pellets just now, most of the assassins thought that whoever stepped forward first at this time obviously had a heavy chance of suffering such a miserable treatment.
The two sides confronted each other.
Delaying time by not moving is undoubtedly beneficial to the people on Wang Chi's side. They lit the teahouse in order to attract the guards in the Hengtai Pavilion neighborhood with thick smoke.
However, just after they were so deadlocked for about half a pillar of incense, the pros and cons of each other slowly began to reverse. Somehow, seeing that the teahouse with a heavy timber structure began to burn downward, and the smoke was billowing down, the guards in the Hengtai Pavilion block had no sign of coming. And those assassins should almost understand that the kind of powerful black pill in the hands of the target person is either not much left. Or it's all gone.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to stay shrunk for so long.
The flames in the teahouse had already jumped up to the second floor, and the pillar that covered them would sooner or later be burned down, and of course they should know that. But they didn't make any further moves to leave, but stayed where they were, which probably showed that they were waiting for someone......
Are you waiting for the patrol guards in this area?
Hehe, the Hengtai Pavilion block, which is known to be second only to the Imperial Palace in terms of being heavily guarded, if so many people are allowed to sneak in from unusual paths in a row, then the role that these guards can play is really nothing to be said.
In the midst of silent waiting, the Assassins gradually reached a consensus in their hearts that they only needed the voice of the woman to give an order. Seven or eight scattered black shadows suddenly burst out. Pounce on the few people hiding behind the pillars!
In fact, Wang Chi is in this line. Except for just worrying about Wang Chi's safety, the other five people waited patiently for so long, and they were already a little impatient.
Especially Wang Chi himself, when did he shrink like this?
Years ago. When he was still on the border of northern Xinjiang, he had seen a battle that was bigger than today. In front of the phalanx of tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the enemy, he also stepped out of the battle with a single sword and picked the generals of the enemy side. At that time, how could he have considered and feared that the enemy's 10,000-strong battle would suddenly release cold arrows at him?
However, after thinking about it, Wang Chi actually understood in his heart that the assassins he was facing today were completely different from the soldiers. All their actions are insidious and deceitful, with few fixed rules of conduct to speak of, and all their actions are related to the sole goal of taking their own lives. In this battle. The only criterion for victory or defeat is determined only by a person's life or death.
So he has to make sure that he doesn't die!
So he chose temporary humiliation!
And in this moment of waiting, he didn't just wait. He had carefully and accurately estimated in his mind when the guards in the neighborhood should have arrived, but he soon came to the somewhat disappointing conclusion that the guards were probably suffering from the same problem as the guys in the teahouse.
The Assassins who raided here today. What is the origin?
Wang Chi was slightly surprised and puzzled.
The Hengtai Pavilion block was built to welcome foreign envoys or nobles from their own fiefdoms to visit Beijing, and for this residential area of guest living and self-cultivation, it must not only ensure the personal safety of the guests and nobles living here, but also not be able to raise the dignity of the palace.
Because of these two conditions, Wang Chi spent a lot of time and energy at the beginning of the establishment of the museum, and worked with his friends to study a set of rigorous guard regulations. This set of charters has been in place for many years, and in the meantime there have been a few loopholes, which should have been more solid.
But now, although the martial arts of this group of assassins who quietly broke in were only mediocre, it was as if they could ignore the defenses of the neighborhood, and not only did many people mingle, as if they were also interfering with the actions of the guards in the neighborhood.
Wang Chi, who was thinking about this step, suddenly had another thought in his mind: Could it be that what Ruan Luo had speculated about just now had come true?
His whereabouts, in addition to the fact that he was likely to be identified by those disguised assassins when he was in the wonton restaurant, was also on the side of Yunxia Qianzhuang. He delayed returning to the palace for a long time, and calmly came to the Hengtai Pavilion, just to put this block that he had already arranged like a transparent city into an urn, and let these assassins jump in.
Unexpectedly, problems have occurred one after another now, and for a moment, Wang Chi felt that the decision he made on the spotlight today was a bit like cocooning himself.
Can...... If the master of Yunxia Qianzhuang, that is, Wei Yunhuai, the Marquis of Northern Jin, really made a move to collude with the assassins, and used his aristocratic power that still played a role in this pavilion area to make an internal response for the assassins, these things that he encountered today would suddenly become complicated.
Wei Yunhuai may not be as conservative as he thinks.
Not only did he dare to think, but he also dared to do, but he was too patient. When he endures it for a long time, it is easy for others to regard his patience as a conservative nature, and then to be ignored as a routine when considering something.
Personality is often the most basic rule of evaluating a person, because it is difficult for a person's personality to change significantly after it is formed in childhood. But although the character is not easy to modify, in the hands of some stoic people, the character can be controlled! -
