Chapter 124: Assassin Dragon Tower
Long Lou has been in a very bad mood these days.
He was hired by Wang Ji to kill the little carpenter first, and then stab Cao Miao. Originally, the plan was very thorough, but I didn't expect an accident to occur temporarily, Cao Miao did not return to Yongqiu Mansion, but hid in Princess Deyang's Mansion.
The guards of Princess Deyang's Mansion were by no means comparable to Yongqiu Mansion, and he didn't want to act rashly, but Wang Jishu got angry and forced him to take action. As a result, he not only exposed his whereabouts, but also lost contact with Wang Ji.
Wang Ji has no news, but there are rumors among the Luoyang rangers, saying that he is famous, but in fact, it is difficult to deputy, such a high value is self-boasting, and when he really encounters a difficult task, he is timid.
Long Lou was angry. He didn't know who spread the rumor, but he knew one thing: if he couldn't assassinate Cao Miao and prove that he was worth his money, he would become a second-rate or even third-rate assassin in the future, and no one would ever hire him at a high price again.
For the past few nights, he has been lurking in the vicinity, most of the time inside and outside, and occasionally when he has the opportunity, he will blend in and observe closely. But he didn't dare to enter Princess Deyang's Mansion again, those guards who had fought on the battlefield with Xiahou Shang were not easy to mess with, and their strength was far above that of ordinary families.
Mixed in the crowd, watching Xiahou Xuan and the others run over through gritted teeth, Long Lou recognized Xiong Meng beside Xiahou Xuan at a glance.
It was this tall and strong man who saw through his whereabouts and shot him an arrow, although he failed to shoot him, but it made his arm sore, and he had difficulty moving, so he had to climb the wall with the help of the flying claws given to him by Wang Ji, and it took him a whole half of the night to return to Shanli, where Wang Ji lived, and missed the opportunity to meet Wang Ji.
Long Lou didn't dare to look more, and quietly shrank back.
Not long after Xiahou Xuan and the others ran over, the side door of Princess Deyang's mansion opened, and a young man walked out, leading two horses.
Long Lou's heartbeat accelerated instantly. He knew this young man, and he also knew these horses, this was not the people and horses of Princess Deyang's Mansion, but the young guard with high martial arts skills beside Cao Miao, and the high-grade Liaodong war horse from the Liaodong Mansion.
Cao Miao is out of the house, and the opportunity has come.
Long Lou didn't think twice and quickly turned to leave. There are many people in the house, and there are many guards in Princess Deyang's mansion, and the front of the mansion is by no means a good place to assassinate. Since Cao Miao is going to leave the house, it is naturally better to stab inside and outside.
Long Lou stared at the inner gate, watched Cao Miao and his party go out of the door, turned to the east, headed towards the city gate, and hurriedly followed.
But he quickly lost it. His two legs couldn't keep up with the four legs of the war horse, and he watched Cao Miao and the others go out of the city gate and go south.
Long Lou chased after him in a hurry. He didn't notice that as he passed through the gates, a pair of eyes were staring at him in the corner.
After all, Longlou is a master of the listing of the Huiren House. Soon after leaving the city, he realized the danger and was embellished. Taking the opportunity to turn around, he saw a familiar face: Zhang Wei, who dominated the sheep market.
Immediately afterward, he saw several other famous rangers.
"Zhang Tiegun? Fortunately, fortunately. Long Lou knew that there was no hope of escape, so he simply didn't make a senseless struggle. He slowly pulled out the long knife at his waist and raised his fingers to wipe the blade. "I am deeply honored to be able to work with all of you. Did you personally take action and let me learn the marksmanship from Xuanwuhou, or did you go together and let me learn the combined attack technique of the sheep market? ”
Zhang Wei stood with his hands over. "Brother Long misunderstood. Brother Long has been sneaking for many days, and we have been searching for it to no avail, but I am very happy to see it today. Brother Long doesn't have to worry. I waited and came to take Brother Long's life, but I wanted to ask Brother Long to move to Xiaoxu. Brother Wanglong admires his face. ”
"Xiao Xu?" Long Lou grinned. "Is that the crazy middle-fingered prince?"
Zhang Wei didn't speak, just looked at the dragon tower quietly. Zhu Da stood behind him, holding two bone chopping knives in one hand and Zhang Wei's iron gun in the other, staring at a pair of big eyes, looking at Yanglou viciously, and beheading Yanglou under the knife if he didn't agree with him.
Long Lou weighed it and put the knife into the sheath. "Since that's the case, then ask Brother Zhang to lead the way."
——
Cao Miao and Longlou met neither the sheep market nor the horse market, but on Luoshui.
Han Long rented a flower boat in advance, and in addition to the boat, there were four Kabuki on the boat, who were playing pipa and other nonsense music, dancing.
Ah Hu and Qing Tao each stood in a corner, staring intently at the Dragon Tower's every move.
Cao Miao leaned on the table and didn't say a word for a long time, and he didn't know if he was enjoying the song and dance, or if he was distracted. When Long Lou got on the boat, he didn't even look at it, and he didn't mean to give up his seat. Long Lou wanted to sit down by himself, but he didn't know why, he gave up again and sat quietly on the side side.
If something happens, he can jump into the water and escape as soon as possible. Zhang Wei and the others held the shore, but they couldn't hold the water, as long as they jumped into the water, he was seventy percent sure of escaping.
Just as Long Lou quietly chose an escape route, Cao Miao spoke.
"The little carpenter you killed floated down the river for two days, and finally was picked up in the Yellow River, and he was already soaked." Cao Miao turned her head and looked at the Dragon Tower with a smile. "He has several friends in the army who are looking for the murderer to avenge him."
Long Lou chuckled in his heart, and his face changed slightly. The man was in the army? Wang Jike didn't say a word.
The change in Long Lou's expression fell in Cao Miao's eyes. Cao Miao laughed secretly. As he expected, Wang Ji would not tell the truth to Long Lou. In Wang Ji's eyes, Longlou is just a tool for killing, collecting money and doing things, there is no need to know so much.
The little carpenter has a bit of a reputation, but it is limited to the army, and only people like Zhang Wei who have been in the army know it, and ordinary rangers don't know about it. The status of the scholar family is low, there are no scholars, and there are not many people who are willing to associate with the scholar family.
"You can escape by jumping into the water, I can't stop you. But I'll spread the word about you killing the little carpenter, and then you won't be able to gain a foothold in Luoyang. Have you ever figured out where to go? ”
Long Lou's expression changed again. He could escape from Luoyang, but it would be difficult to live such a life in the future. In terms of the concentration of the powerful, the number of murder tasks, and the high bid, it is natural that the Jingshi is the most.
"Is there anything I can do for the prince?" Long Lou gave up his plan to escape, bowed his hands, and sat down on the seat.
"Take me to Wang Ji."
"I also want to find Wang Ji, but unfortunately, I don't know where he is."
"If you kill me, he will naturally show up."
Long Lou narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Miao in puzzlement. Cao Miao smiled. "Don't want to give it a try? In front of so many people, you will not only be the gold medal assassin of the Huiren House in the future, but also the number one master in Luoyang. ”
Long Lou also smiled. "No merit is not worthless. The prince has given him so much, how can he repay him? ”
"Just kill someone for me."
"Who?"
"Sima Yi."
