Chapter 554: Assassin

Tianzun's words made Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, frown again-how many people are there?

"Is it better than the third game?" At this time, someone in the crowd who was waiting impatiently asked.

Fang Baekje said, "Oh, this competition is over for the time being, save it for the four courtyards to compete, and then divide the winner and loser......"

"Huh?!" The crowd made a dissatisfied voice, and there was some commotion in an instant.

Fang Baekje signaled, "It's all dispersed, the rain will get heavier and heavier in a while." ”

As he spoke, a few of the little guys began to clean up their things, pulling chairs to collect cups or something, which means that the scene is over.

The crowd was helpless, although it was a pity, but today I watched two good competitions, so I had to go back......

Nangong looked at Zhao Zhen, what does that mean-go back to the palace?

Zhao Zhen didn't move, touching his chin and looking at the scattered crowd below.

Zhao Lan pouted, that means - it's easy to run out, I haven't finished watching the excitement, and I must tell the royal brother for a while that I will go back to the palace after visiting the night market.

At this time, a small servant with a tray came over to collect the things on the table next to Zhao Zhen.

Just as he reached for the cup, a cold light suddenly flashed......

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth were slightly raised.

"When" a sound came, and when I looked again, I saw Nangong holding a knife in one hand in front of Zhao Zhen's eyes, and the little guy just now was holding two daggers in both hands, stabbing at Zhao Zhen, and the moment he was blocked by Nangong, the tea tray he had just thrown away fell to the ground...... There was a loud bang, which frightened Yan Shaogong and Fang Baiji around him.

The Assassin's first attack was blocked and then flashed...... Behind Zhao Zhen.

On the side, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both raised their eyebrows - this kung fu is good!

It's just that when he made the second knife, he was kicked out by Nangong Ji.

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, "Is this called an assassin?" ”

Yan Shaogong was shocked that someone was assassinating, so he wanted to shout "protect the emperor", but before he could speak, Xie Yan covered his mouth.

Zhao Zhen sat still.

Xie Yan said to the other party, Baekje, "Hurry up and clear the field." ”

Fang Baekje also noticed at this time, the audience below was walking out, and the movement of the fight here was too fast, so the crowd hadn't noticed it yet.

If Yan Shaogong shouted "protect the emperor" just now, it would have to be chaotic, but how could people leave quickly and leave without looking back?

At this time, I heard Pang Yu shouting, "There is another competition in the teahouse opposite!" I've heard it's even more exciting than here! Hurry up and take a look! ”

As soon as the crowd heard this, they hurriedly ran out, one by two scrambling, still discussing, why are there so many games to watch?

While the crowd was running out, several were running in the opposite direction, and at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Pu frowned slightly and glanced at Zhao Zhen...... Seeing Zhao Zhen sitting there, he seemed to be quite happy.

After Nangong kicked the first Assassin into the air, two more Assassins rushed up......

Nangong frowned slightly...... Suddenly, there were two "booms......

Look again, the two assassins were lying at Zhao Zhen's feet, and they were hit by several arrows in the back.

As soon as Nangong looked up, he saw Long Qiaoguang on the opposite roof tilting his head towards him...... Nangong turned to the side...... An arrow flew past his ear, and behind him was the shoulder and neck of the Assassin, who was shot and flew out, nailed to a pillar in the pavilion, unable to move.

Gongsun glanced at it - Long Qiaoguang skillfully avoided the key points and left them alive.

After that, the several assassins who rushed up were all shot by the archers arranged by Long Qiaoguang.

At this time...... Only Zhao Zhen and the people of Kaifeng Mansion were left in the courtyard, and the people who watched the excitement ran out, and the assassins also fell to the ground...... Outside, Ouyang walked inside with a few hundred Imperial City troops.

At this time, there was a thunderstorm in the sky...... The rain instantly increased, almost turning into a torrential downpour.

Xiao Sizi sat on Yin Hou's arm, raised his face, looked at the gray sky outside the pavilion and the dense heavy rain, and always felt ...... In the rain, there seems to be something.

Yin Hou asked Tianzun, "How many?" ”

"Four." Tianzun Dao.

Yin Hou looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, as well as Zhao Pu not far away and Lin Yehuo who was squatting on the railing on the side, "One for each person." ”

As soon as the voice fell...... I saw the four of them flashing out with a "whoosh" at the same time...... Disappeared into the rain.

At this time, Xie Yan and the others were all gathered together, Kaifeng Sanzi and Yan Shaogong also ran to Bao Yan's side, Ge Qing looked at everyone, and Hong Jiuniang and Heishui Mother-in-law also wandered over.

Cao Jian and Cao Kun still had some conditions, and asked "How is this ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly ......

Then a figure flashed in front of me.

Cao Yuan was shocked, was it a human or a ghost...... But before he could see it clearly, Ge Qing raised his knife and fell......

"Click" sound...... A man in black who had a knife in his neck and was bleeding out fell at the feet of Cao Kun and Cao Jian, holding a knife in his hand.

"Wow!" After all, a few scholars had never seen the world, so they were so frightened that they hid aside.

Ge Qing put away the knife.

Yin Hou frowned and asked Tianzun, "How many now?" ”

Tianzun said, "Here are four more ......."

As soon as Tianzun's words fell, he saw a red figure appear in the rain curtain outside the pavilion...... The familiar voice of Juque unsheathed caused Xiao Wu to let out a tiger roar.

The cold light flashed, Zhanzhao landed, and the two assassins at his feet landed...... The body was intact and there were no wounds in sight.

Just when the scholars were looking at it with wide eyes and curiosity...... Two thin streaks of blood appeared on the backs of the two men......

Zhan Zhao shook off the water on the giant que, and at the same time as he collected his sword, two assassins with swords appeared in front of him......

The moment the giant is unsheathed...... A white figure appeared in front of him. Bai Yutang's knife was not unsheathed, and the long scabbard of the knife in the cloud cut the rain in the air into two...... In the direction where the scabbard swept, two people suddenly appeared, and their ears happened to be hit by the scabbard of the knife in the cloud...... The two of them spun around in the air, and when they fell to the ground, their heads hit the ground first, and the whole neck was folded over, and they heard a "click".

All the scholars bared their teeth - hey, Mom!

Gongsun touched his chin, "Oops, these two are seriously injured, or Zhanzhao is lighter, and those two are only minor injuries." ”

As soon as Gongsun finished speaking, he saw Lin Yehuo fall on a lampstand on the side, squatting lightly and skillfully, and when his red clothes flew a few times in the air and slowly fell, everyone heard two "bang bang" sounds.

Again, the two black-clad assassins fell to the side of the stone bench, their limbs twisting and their eyes rolling.

Gongsun frowned, "Tut, these two may be able to rescue ......"

After saying that, a gust of wind suddenly passed through the air......

Everyone saw Zhao Pu pressing the back of a black-clothed assassin's head with one hand and landing on the ground, and everyone heard two loud noises, and the corners of their mouths twitched...... The two assassins were smashed to the ground by the Nine Princes, and most of their heads were flattened or pressed into the ground.

Gongsun shook his head, "These two are probably hopeless...... Zhao Pu really has the blackest hands! ”

Bao Yan asked curiously Wu Yiwu, who was watching the excitement, "Uncle Xiaowu, why can't those people see it?" ”

"It's the Shadow Assassin." Wu Yiwu said, "I used the technique of water escape. ”

"Water escape?" Bao Yan asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Sort of a high-level assassin." Hong Jiuniang smiled, "The kind used to assassinate the king, these kung fu are not bad, but the lord's one hasn't appeared yet." ”

"What Lord?" Pang Yu was curious.

"The Shadow Assassin is the shadow of the Assassin." Wu Yiwu said, "There is only one real assassin, and there will be many shadow assassins who are used to distract attention and play cover, these are dead soldiers who are good at using retreat techniques and disguises, and they are out to send them to death." ”

Where have these nerds seen these, Lai Tianqing also asked, "What ......about that?" How many shadows are there? ”

"Maybe." Jiu Niang spread her hands, "There may be more than a dozen, maybe hundreds." ”

"Hundreds?" Chunhua was taken aback, "So many? ”

Ouyang was right behind him, raised his foot and kicked his nephew's buttocks, "Nonsense, let's see who the assassination target is." ”

Everyone turned their faces with a swipe...... Zhao Zhen sat there without moving, still gently turning his fingers with one hand, as if he was planning something.

Lai Tianqing leaned over and asked, "I said, who is that Huang Gongzi?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Xiao suddenly shout, "Be careful!" ”

As he spoke, he dragged Mr. Lin ......

At the same time that everyone was stunned, a cold light flashed...... The blade swept straight through Lin Fuzi's throat.

Zhao Pu and the others all frowned - this is not a shadow!

Sure enough, this assassin's martial arts are completely different from several other assassins, the speed of the knife is extremely fast, and Lin Xiao's kung fu is not bad...... That means, help block a knife.

It's just that...... The knives that swept to Lin Xiao's shoulder were pinched by one hand.

The students in Kaifeng remained frightened, and their mouths opened wide and leaned back...... Especially Lin Xiao, he protected Lin Fuzi and fell backwards, but fortunately, Jiuniang helped them two.

However, the scene at this time is a little weird.

I saw that there seemed to be a knife in the air, but it didn't seem to be, and a child's hand was holding the blade, the arm, and it looked like the arm of a teenage girl. Everyone looked at it...... Granny Blackwater gently and skillfully squeezed a knife in one hand...... The other hand was still holding the little white snake.

Everyone gasped.

As she grasped the knife, the blade, which was almost invisible, appeared, and in the possession of it was an assassin dressed in gray, the color of which was close to the color of the sky outside......

Blackwater's garnet-like red pupils slowly moved to the side and glanced at the gray-masked assassin.

"Click" sound...... The knife was broken in two, and Granny Blackwater shook the broken knife in her hand...... The assassin was stabbed in the forehead and flew out of the gazebo.

Taixue everyone looked at it dumbfounded, and after a long time, Wang Qi jumped up, "The child has killed someone!" ”

The crowd looked to the sky.

Pang Yu poked him, "Don't talk nonsense, call mother-in-law!" ”

Wang Qi's mouth opened wide - didn't he?

"Mother-in-law?" Lin Xiao and the others were also very shocked - a few of them had been guessing whether Granny Heishui was Zhanzhao's niece or something, at most a teenage girl, except for her eyes that were a little scary! How big is that, exactly?

The bag extends out with three fingers to indicate - three digits.

Everyone gasped with a "......".

Granny Heishui gently covered the corners of her mouth and laughed twice.

Yi Yi and Zhao Lan helped Lin Fuzi and Lin Xiao up.

Zhao Zhen glanced back and frowned slightly.

Zhan Zhao and the others also glanced at each other - this is not a shadow assassin! Could it be ...... The assassination of Zhao Zhen is a cover, and what does he really want to kill is Lin Fuzi?

Zhao Zhen also seemed to be a little puzzled, he stood up, as if he wanted to go and see the situation of Master Lin...... Just as he stood up, Nangong grabbed his shoulder and dragged him back......

Then, a loud "bang" was heard, and a beam on the top of the pavilion "whirred" and smashed towards Zhao Zhen.

Nangong blocked Zhao Zhen behind him with one hand, and wanted to raise his hand and slap the beam open, but at the same time as he stretched out his hand, a thought flashed in his mind - the beam had fallen, wouldn't the pavilion be a tower......

At the moment when Nangong made a judgment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang grabbed one and took him and Zhao Zhen out...... The rest of the crowd also flew out with the rest of the pavilion.

Tianzun flashed and took away the little fourth son in Yin Hou's arms, what does that mean...... You're on!

Waiting for the sky...... Raise your hand...... A palm slapped against the beam.

Everyone heard a loud bang...... The roof of the pavilion, which was about to collapse because it was crooked due to the loss of the beam, was knocked into the air by the beam that flew out in the opposite direction with a palm of Yin Hou.

The roof of the gazebo was torn apart in the air...... Behind the broken beam, three figures appeared. These three people are also wearing the clothes of the shadow killers, and they are not holding swords, but hidden weapons, what does that mean...... I want to give Zhao Zhen a fatal blow.

Before the three of them could make a move, three arrows flew in the air...... The three arrows all flew out in a bend and diagonally, hitting the neck, and the three of them were also taken out, and when they fell to the ground, they were already dead.

Wu Yiwu raised his eyebrows slightly-Long Qiaoguang's figure in the distance was already unclear in the rain, but the arrow was still very accurate! That kid was really amazingly talented, and he only taught him once, and he could shoot such an arrow in the rain.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the corpses of the three assassins...... These three kung fu are not as good as the one that stabbed Master Lin just now! What's going on?

At this point, only the sound of the rain was left around.

Nangong held an umbrella for Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen raised his head...... The blood of the assassin who had been shot in the neck by Long Qiao just now splashed on Nangong's umbrella, and the rain washed down and spread rapidly...... Looking up at the fleeting red light under the umbrella, isn't it a disaster of blood light?

Everyone also glanced at each other, and the other party's escape technique was extremely well concealed under the cover of heavy rain, especially the sudden assassination of Lin Fuzi that attracted everyone's attention, however, ...... Chen Sangua's sentence "be careful of the beams" just now still helped a lot.

Nangong felt that he should send some gifts or something to the fortune teller to show his gratitude.

Zhao Lan tugged at Yiyi's sleeve and looked at the corpse on the ground, "It's scary!" ”

Iyi squinted...... I didn't have a chance to show it just now because you are a timid girl who has been dragging me to me!

Outside, Zou Liang, who had just finished tying up more than 100 ruffians with people, came in with people and picked up the assassins all over the ground to see how many live ones there were.

Zhao Zhen touched his chin and said to Zhan Zhao, "I'll leave it to you Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Gongsun gave some treatment to the few assassins who were still alive, and those who could speak were all taken away by Zou Liang for interrogation.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

The fifth master also frowned - very subtle.

Zhao Pu asked Zhao Zhen, "Who is it?" ”

Zhao Zhen spread his hands, "Bad guys......"

Zhao Pu frowned at him.

Zhao Zhen smiled, "Hmm...... I have gained a lot from leaving the palace today, so I will give you some rewards. ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen said, "If you want to investigate the old case of the Jin family, first go and investigate the theft of 100,000 tribute 22 years ago." ”

Everyone looked at each other - the theft of tribute?

Bai Yutang said, "There is no such case recorded. ”

Gongsun and Bao Yan both nodded, and at the same time, both of them looked at Bai Yutang, what does that mean-how did your family grab the work of the master of Kaifeng Mansion?

Zhao Zhen smiled, "That's the gold of 100,000 taels of tribute missing, and the record is still there?" ”

Everyone frownedβ€”and so did they.

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he waved his hand at Nangong, which means - I've had enough fun today, let's go back to the palace.

Zhao Lan pouted and refused to go back, saying that she wanted to have supper with everyone, but Zhao Zhen didn't care about her, so she asked Ge Qing to bring more people to protect her safety.

Ouyang took the Imperial City Army to send Zhao Zhen back to the palace, and at the same time strengthened the guards of the palace.

Fang Baekje stood there stupidly, looking at the collapsed pavilion - this is a historic site, the first pavilion in Kaifeng for more than two hundred years, it collapsed like this! Sure enough, the people of Kaifeng Mansion will demolish the house wherever they go!
