Volume 1 Wind and Rain into Lin'an Chapter 31 Assassination of Qin
Zhao Gou pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's still Qin Aiqing who has thought it through, since Qin Aiqing has thought it so thoroughly, what else do I have to say?" Qin Aiqing thinks what to do. But there is one thing, this matter must not be publicized in a big way, and those people must not be given the opportunity to make trouble. Jin Ren, you also have to think about it, you always blackmail me like this, I am really angry in my heart. The peace agreement stipulates that the annual coins and silks are 250,000 taels each, but every year the Jin people come up with various names and many wants, so this goes on actually fuels the arrogance of the Jin people, and they must find a way. You are the prime minister, you can't ignore it, you can do whatever you want. ”
Qin Hui heard the dissatisfaction in Zhao Gou's words, and hurriedly got up and knelt down and said: "The emperor is angry, the old minister is incompetent, he loses his power and humiliates the country, and the old minister is guilty of death." ”
Zhao Gou waved his hand and said, "I'm not accusing you, why are you doing this?" Get up, go and do your errands. The envoy of the Jin people will go back immediately with him, I will not see him, and if I stay in Lin'an for a long time, I will let the ministers know, which is inappropriate. ”
Qin Hui hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him and got up, and withdrew from Chunhui Pavilion, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, he had already promised the envoy of the golden man to give them wood and stone worth 500,000 silver, and the plan had been finalized, and the envoy of the golden man had also approved it. In fact, the golden man did not have a lion's mouth open, and he only needed 500,000 taels of silver when he opened his mouth. But he obviously can't reply like this, he must let the emperor know that it was his own hard work to keep the number down, which is a means to win the emperor's approval, and he has repeatedly used it.
The emperor is still like that, he never directly says what he thinks in his heart, although his own opinions are what he thinks in his heart, but he always makes a look of letting himself decide. This may be the reason why the emperor has always favored himself, he knows what kind of person the emperor is, and knows what he is thinking, so he can prescribe the right medicine and deeply meet the wishes. But at the same time, it is clear that you have to bear all the consequences. Although he knew in his heart that the emperor was thinking, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. The emperor is his backer, and he must hug his thighs tightly in order to call for wind and rain, and it is also necessary to do some dirty work for him.
The sun has set and twilight is rising. Qin Hui got out of the palace and got into his luxurious carriage, surrounded by more than a dozen attendants, and galloped back home along the royal road. His mansion was not far away, on the east side of the Wangxian Bridge on the Middle River, less than five miles from the palace. His house was very large, with more than 60 rooms, and it was extraordinary.
Although it was late, there were still a lot of pedestrians on the royal street. From time to time, the people carrying the carts with their burdens stood in front of them, and the attendants had to shout at them to give way, and the leather whips in their hands crackled in the air.
When the car arrives at the east of Wangxian Bridge, it is about to turn into the street intersection on the east side, which is the street leading to Xiangfu. Because of the turn, the speed of the carriage slowed down. The driver of the car made a sound in his mouth, directing the steady turn of the two healthy horses. At this moment, on the royal road ahead, a carriage galloped towards Qin Hui's convoy.
"Avoid, avoid, don't stop, this is Qin Xiang's car. If you hit a car, it's a capital offense! The two attendants rode up to meet them and scolded them sharply. They thought it was an ordinary person's car, but they didn't know that Xiangye's convoy was here.
Above the wheel, sat a coachman with a broken straw hat, who bowed his head and ignored the warnings of the two attendants, instead raising his whip and slamming the horse's buttocks. The carriage rushed towards it without the slightest sign of retreating or slowing down.
The two attendants felt that something was wrong, and the scolding became even harsher. Seeing this, the rest of the attendants also rushed in the direction of the carriage. However, the distance between the two sides was too close, and the carriage rushed too quickly, and before the attendants could stop it, the carriage had already rushed to the side of Qin Hui's convoy. The convoy that was turning the corner exposed Qin Hui's black carriage just outside.
"Protect Xiangye!" The two attendants who met him finally realized that this was a deliberate collision, shouted loudly, drew their blades, rode up, and without hesitation swung their swords at the coachman on the wheel.
The driver on the wheel let out a loud shout, and reached out and pulled out a spear hidden under the wheel. His body rose into the air, leaping into the air with the speed of the carriage.
"Old thief Qin Hui, suffer death!" The man let out a cry of rage. The spear in his hand trembled, and an afterimage was drawn in the air, and he rushed straight to the black and luxurious carriage outside Zhang Xu with a gun.
"There are assassins! Protect Xiangye! On the side of the carriage, a dozen or so attendants had recovered from their senses, and one of the squires leader shouted loudly, quickly drew his sword and rose from his saddle, meeting the assassin in mid-air.
The long knives and spears staggered through the air and did not collide because the angles of the two sides were different. The Assassin was able to take advantage of the forward rush of the carriage faster, so the leader of the squire failed to hit the spear with his long knife. The blades of the two sides staggered in the air, and even the people were staggered, but the leader of the squire was obviously good at martial arts, and his reaction was fast enough, although his body and blades were missed, but at the last moment he still kicked a kick that hit the assassin's side ribs solidly.
The Assassin's spear was originally aimed at the middle and rear of Qin Hui's carriage, where the seat was located. Once it passes through, the person sitting in the seat will inevitably be pierced through the heart. Apparently the Assassins had calculated the position of the carriage's seats. But when he was kicked in the ribs, the direction of his body changed, and the position of the spear stabbing at the carriage also changed. But with a thud, the head of the King Kong spear stabbed the back of the carriage. But Rao was so, and the power of this shot was still a thorn of sawdust, piercing the carriage through a large hole and piercing it from the other side.
"Qin Xiang!" The attendants shouted in horror, and someone on the other side pulled the car door, only to see Qin Hui lying on the bottom of the carriage with a frightened face. The attendant dragged Qin Hui out of the carriage, and several attendants immediately protected him.
The assassin stabbed the shot and fell to the ground, knowing by the feeling in his hand that the shot had missed. So he scolded angrily, drew his gun and quickly stabbed again. The position of this shot was correct, but Qin Hui was no longer in the car. At the same time, two attendants and the leader of the landed attendants had already rushed behind him. Three long knives slashed down at him.
It was only at this time that the speeding carriage collided with Qin Hui's carriage. In the midst of the flying sawdust, the horses fell to the ground and rolled, and the huge impact smashed the two carriages apart, and the ground was in shambles.
"Protect Xiangye, go quickly!" The leader of the attendants shouted, slashing with his long knife and entangled the spear-wielding assassin, making it impossible for him to continue his pursuit. Seven or eight attendants escorted the soul and scattered, and this Qin Hui rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the side street.
The spear-wielding assassin was entangled by the three of them and could not get out for a while, so he scolded and swung his spear and fought with the three attendants. Qin Hui turned his head to see this, but stopped, he knew that he would not be in danger anymore, the assassin was entangled by three attendants, and he could no longer pose a threat to himself.
"Capture him alive for Benxiang, and ask where this guy came from." Qin Hui shouted.
What Qin Hui never expected was that as soon as his words fell, the carriage carriage that fell to the ground suddenly shattered, and a red shadow shot out from the carriage. In the sound of coquettishness, one person and one sword were as fast as lightning and rushed towards Qin Hui and the others. No one expected that the assassins would be two people, one on the wheel of the carriage and the other hidden in the carriage. It can be seen that according to the original plan, they wanted to wait until the two cars collided before making a move at the same time, but unfortunately, Qin Hui's attendants were extremely vigilant, and the assassin on the wheel had to make the first move. The Assassin in the carriage was one step slower, and had to wait until the two cars collided before breaking out of the car.
The red-clothed assassin covered his face, his body was light, and his light skills were extremely high, and he came to the air in front of Qin Hui and the others in a few ups and downs. The long sword in his hand pulled out ten thousand rays of brilliance, dazzling people's eyes, and swooped down from top to bottom. Three or four attendants guarding in front of Qin Hui raised their long knives and slashed in the air, and the red-clothed long sword was pointed at the tip of one person's knife at this moment, and his body was flipped, and he actually used this power to cross the top of the two people's heads, and rushed towards Qin Hui and several other attendants behind.
"Old thief, take your life!" The assassin shouted angrily, and this speech revealed that it was a woman.
The sword light Huo Huo, shrouded in the top of his head, Qin Hui was so frightened that he scattered and ran back, the four attendants raised their swords to meet them, and the sound of the whole blade exchange sounded in the ping pong, and one of the attendants fell to the ground with a muffled snort, and his left arm was bleeding like an infusion. No one knew how he was injured, under the attack of the four long knives, each knife was swung away by the opponent's long sword, and the opponent still had the strength to stab one of the attendants with an extra sword, which showed that the kung fu was good.
Several attendants were frightened, but at this moment, they could not flinch at all, and raised their long knives again, attacking them desperately, blocking the woman's way. These people are the most personal attendants and guards around Qin Hui, Qin Hui's life is their life, if Qin Xiangye is killed, none of them will survive, so they desperately rescue.
The long sword of the woman in red rose and fell, and in the flash of the sword light, another attendant took the sword, but this time it was on the shoulder. Although the injury was not light, the attendant refused to retreat, roared repeatedly, and raised his knife to slash despite the injury on his shoulder. The rest of the people also rushed to attack, and with a brave spirit, they dragged the woman in place.
In the short period of more than ten breaths after only fighting, Qin Hui, who was already over the age of six, had already escaped more than forty steps away. In order to escape for his life, Qin Xiangye was out of the way today, and fled for his life regardless of his weak legs and heartbeat.
The woman's heart was extremely anxious, and if she delayed any longer, she would be escaped into the side street by Qin Hui, and not far away was the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his people would soon get the news and rush to the rescue. Thinking of this, the woman screamed coquettishly, and the long sword in her hand danced like the wind, extremely fast. Moments later, with a scream, the head of one of the attendants flew up, blood splattered into the air, and the female assassin had his head cut off. The other three attendants were shocked, and after a moment's hesitation, the woman rushed out.
