73 Who the hell is it

In the darkness of the night, the three men landed silently, and after looking around for a while, one of them made a silent gesture with his hand, and the other two immediately nodded, and left under the cover of the night.

The man at the head saw them disappear into the night, and went in the opposite direction. The direction he went was the direction of the inner courtyard of Zhang's mansion.

This man is lightly sneaking in the shadows, and his movements are fast. If you don't look closely, it's hard to spot any movement.

After passing through a few courtyards, he hid in the dark, looking at Zhang's Mansion in the dark night, as if he didn't know how to walk for a while.

After a while, he turned his head to look at where the other two were going, that is, in the direction of the front yard of Zhang's mansion.

Suddenly, a shout rang out, and in the silence, it was particularly harsh: "There are assassins, catch assassins!" ”

On the front yard, there was a lot of movement all of a sudden, and as the shouts rang out, many people were heard echoing. One after another, it is clear that there are many people.

When the man in the shadows heard this, he immediately looked around, and then rushed to the edge of a corridor. Judging by his purpose, it should be the shadow near the corridor.

Suddenly, the man swooped forward, almost with all his might. Almost at the same time, where he had been, a feathered arrow stuck in the ground.

The sound ......of the bowstring continued to sound continuously, and the man moved coherently, without stopping for a moment, and rushed to the side of the corridor pillar to take refuge.

It was only for a while, and I saw that the place where he came was stuck with several feather arrows. Even on the pillar where he was hiding, three feathered arrows were inserted.

All of a sudden, there was a movement, and then suddenly it stopped.

No one came out, and no bowstrings sounded again. If it weren't for the feathered arrows on the ground and on the pillars, it would be as if nothing had happened just now.

The man continued to hide by the pillar, not moving at all. Obviously, he is also a veteran, and knows that the archers hiding in the shadows are not not unleashing, but waiting for him to appear.

Zhang Mingwei had actually just fallen asleep, when he heard the movement and was about to take a look, Fei Zhen'e, who was on duty outside him, suddenly said to him: "Don't turn on the lights, sir, there are assassins outside." ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he was shocked, is there really a legendary assassin?

So fast? I started on myself, it's really awesome, it's exciting enough!

Thinking so, he hurriedly asked, "How is the princess?" ”

"Don't worry, sir, there is the chief soldier's wife personally guarding over there, and it will be fine!" Fei Zhen'e replied cautiously.

While they were talking, they saw a few people running quickly along the corridor to the inner courtyard from the front yard. The sword in his hand, reflecting the light from time to time in the candlelight.

Where they passed, all the guards hiding in the shadows appeared, and they followed behind these people, and they all rushed to the inner courtyard as fast as they could.

On the side of the corridor pillars, there is still a stalemate. The movement from the outer courtyard is getting closer and closer. It won't take long for you to get here.

The man behind the pillar suddenly jumped out to the left, and the mere movement of him immediately drew the sound of a bowstring.

However, this person turned out to be just a feint, and at the same time as he jumped forward, he turned out to be a backflip. The direction of his real escape turned out to be the right side of the pillar.

The archer hiding in the shadows was obviously deceived, and although the bow and arrow could shoot quickly, the man was so fast that he was about to flee into the shadows again.

But who knows, there was an accident at this time.

I saw that this person who could have jumped into the shadows flashed back and hid in the pillar just now. His action made the archers hiding in the shadows stunned.

With a bang, I saw the person behind the pillar throw a knife out and fall to the ground to make a noise.

Then the man was heard shouting, "Don't shoot arrows, I'm not an assassin!" ”

The archer did not say a word and continued to hide in the shadows.

In a few moments, a group of people who had come quickly from the front yard arrived here. The person at the head is none other than Deputy Chief Soldier Zhou Yuji.

Seeing that he was not wearing armor and holding an ordinary waist knife, he saw the arrows on this side of the pillar, and vaguely saw someone behind the pillar, so he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Surround! ”

"I will surrender, I will surrender!" The man behind the pillar knelt down with his head in his hands, and at the same time hurriedly said, "The villain has a message, it's not an assassin!" ”

Zhou Yuji ignored it, and he was not afraid of the assassin's deception, and strode forward. But there were two guards beside him, one of whom was a sword and shield bearer, who hurried to protect him. And behind him, there were several female archers, pulling the bowstrings, and they were on guard.

It was only at this time that the archers hiding in the shadows came out, also female archers. Needless to say, these female archers were all female soldiers brought by Zhou Liu's family, hiding in the shadows of the inner courtyard.

The man fell to his knees, and did not resist. Even if Zhou Yuji's two personal guards rushed over to tie him up, they didn't resist.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yuji breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the backyard again, and just saw his daughter-in-law coming out of the shadows, so he hurriedly asked, "My lord, is the princess okay?" ”

"It's fine!" Zhou Liu, dressed in a military uniform and holding a long sword, came to Zhou Yuji's side, stared at the assassin on the ground and said, "There is such a person who broke into the inner courtyard. I saw that he was able to escape from this pillar, but he didn't. ”

The man on the ground had already been tied with his hands behind his back at this time, and he was pulled up by two of Zhou Yuji's guards, one left and one right. When he saw the female archers around him, as well as such a large group of people, he had a look of surprise on his face.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly said to Zhou Yuji: "This is Zhou Dashuai, the villain has an important situation, please also tell Lord Zhang Bodhisattva!" ”

"......" Zhou Yuji was stunned when he heard this, this person actually knew himself, and who was Zhang Bodhisattva?

However, he quickly came back to his senses and immediately understood that what this person said was Master Zhang, the Bodhisattva Zhang, was naturally the master of the Zhang Mansion, and there was no second possibility.

Thinking of this, when he really wanted to ask, he heard this person say first: "Please also ask Zhou Dashuai's subordinates to be merciful and send someone to the front to inform me that my two companions don't really want to set fire to the front yard." ”

Set fire to the front yard? When Zhou Yuji heard this, he immediately understood in his heart that this was to use a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain to attract all the people from the inner courtyard to the front yard, so that it would be convenient for this person to start in the inner courtyard?

But why did this man say that he was not an assassin, and that he still had a message?

For a moment, Zhou Yuji couldn't help but feel a little confused. So, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

At this time, the news that the assassins had been suppressed here was probably reported. Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yujiao's rooms were lit up one after another.
