Chapter 972: Sweet Dreams, Gorgeous and Short
The moment Wu Zheng jumped down, there was a "whoosh", and an arrow almost flew over Wu Zheng's head.
With a "click", it was firmly nailed to the wall of the tavern, and it was half a foot deep.
Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai reacted quickly, dragged Wu Zheng into the tavern, and shouted, "There are assassins ......!" ”
At this time, the people outside panicked again, but this time the panic was not a fight, but looking for the assassin around, but how could they find it if the light was dark?
Lu Jincai lifted the table and blocked the door of the tavern.
Wu Zheng frowned and said to the two: "Today's matter, I'm afraid it's difficult to be good, I have to think of going out to transfer troops, which of you two will go?" ”
Lu Jincai said with a bitter face: "But I can't get out now!" ”
Wu Zheng looked around for a while, and suddenly found that Liu Ren was not there, and asked, "Where is Liu Yuan?" ”
Among the four people who were with Zheng Yidao, one of them replied: "Liu Yuan was outside with Zheng Yijin and Xu Lao Er just now, and I haven't seen him since Liu Yuan shouted." ”
Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "The three of them are outside, so call them in the direction of the Beimen Bridge and ask for help from the forbidden army." ”
So, under the protection of Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai, Wu Zheng straightened up and shouted outside: "Liu Yuan, Zheng Yijin, Xu Laoer, can the three of you be outside?" ”
Don't say it, Wu Zheng's shout made three voices sound at the same time, "The student (the little one) is here, I don't know what the prince commands?" ”
Wu Zheng asked loudly, "Which of the three of you is close to the direction of the North Gate Bridge?" ”
"Lord Wang, the little one is Xu Lao Er, and the little one is very close to the North Gate Bridge."
"Can you get by?"
"There aren't many people behind the small one, so they should be able to pass."
Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, so he shouted: "In this way, you raise a torch, go to the North Gate Bridge, and give an order for this king, so that one can ...... What's it called? ”
Wu Zheng turned his head and asked Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai.
Lu Jincai was stunned and shook his head.
Yue Xiaolin blinked and thought for a while, "The leading hundred households seem to be surnamed Yuan." ”
Wu Zheng immediately remembered, "Xu Lao Er, if you go to see Yuan Chengli, the hundred households of the forbidden army, you will say that this king ordered him to immediately bring troops to guide the people, there must be no mistake!" If you do this, this king will remember your merit, and there will be a reward afterwards! ”
"Order!" Xu Lao Er responded happily, but there was no ready-made torch in his hand, he snatched a wooden stick from the hands of the chaotic people around him, then took off his ragged shirt, circled it a few times, lit it, raised it up, and ran towards the North Gate Bridge.
Dare to love, I heard that there is a reward, and even the clothes on my body are willing to order.
More than a mile, you can make meritorious service by running a trip, and this great good thing falls on your head, hehe...... Xu Lao Er felt that the time had come to work.
Countless eyes stared at him behind him, and there was the most emotion in it, that is, envy.
In the dark night, Xu Lao Er, who was holding a torch, became the focus of everyone's attention.
Xu Lao Er was still very obedient, he strictly followed Wu Zheng's instructions, and when he ran out of a mile, he shouted vigorously: "The official on the other side, the small one, on the order of the king of Huiji County, came to see Yuan Chengli and Lord Yuan......." ”
However, in front of everyone's eyes, a big change happened.
With a "buzz", dense arrows came towards Xu Laoer.
In an instant, Xu Lao Er's body was full of arrows, like a hedgehog.
Because it was dark, Xu Lao Er didn't even notice the arrow flying towards him, so when he died, the smile on his face was still there.
The corpse was taken back a few steps by the inertia of the arrow, but when it fell, because the arrow penetrated his body, the shaft of the arrow supported his body, and instead of falling to the ground, he lay at an angle, facing the sky on his back, as if questioning God's why.
The torch in his hand fell to the ground, and the rags that were not tightly tied were scattered, and after burning instantly, they slowly extinguished, just like Xu Laoer's dream, gorgeous and short-lived.
……。
When the upheaval occurred, Wu Zheng was looking at the arrow pulled out by Lu Jincai.
It's a crossbow bolt.
Wu Zheng's brows tightened more and more, crossbow arrows, those are controlled items.
The most common is bows and arrows, the shaft of the arrow is long, and there is a feather tail, but the crossbow arrow is different, the arrow rod is short, and there is no feather tail.
This is a weapon unique to the army.
But Wu Zheng still guessed that at this time, the war was still going on, and the assassins could also get it from the battlefield.
But Yue Xiaolin, who was beside him, suddenly hissed: "Lord Wang, the forbidden army has changed, they shot Xu Lao Er!" ”
Wu Zheng was startled, and as soon as he raised his head, the people outside also began to scream.
For a mile, the people couldn't see that Xu Lao Er was shot and killed, but Xu Lao Er fell on his back, and the torch in his hand fell and went out, which can be seen.
Compared with the people, Yue Xiaolin guessed faster that he was shot by the forbidden army.
Strangely, the crowd outside was not as chaotic as before.
The eyes of countless people looked at the tavern, where there was the brightest torch on the street, and the hope in their hearts.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the crowd: "This is a conspiracy, there is a liar in the tavern, we can't believe him, Xu Lao Er was killed, aren't you still sober...... Rush up with me, kill this dog thief, and avenge Xu Laoer...... Belch. ”
A sharp blade stabbed through his back, peeked through his chest, and then disappeared in a flash.
The person who shouted died suddenly, and died to death.
In the darkness, no one saw the murderer.
Blood gushed out, corpses fell, and the surrounding people screamed and retreated, so crowded that a lot of space was left for the corpses on the ground, and it seemed that the shaping of the human body was indeed powerful, and it could squeeze the body to an unimaginable degree.
This makes the crowd in the direction of the tavern less dense.
Just as the public's attention was drawn to the corpse on the ground, a figure quickly approached the tavern.
When Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai saw it, they hurriedly blocked it with knives.
But the man bowed down in front of the door and said, "My subordinates see the prince." ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Who are you?" ”
The man glanced at Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai.
Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Say." ”
"Yes. Subordinate Chang Lin Wei Group C No. 27. ”
Wu Zheng was stunned, and said to Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai: "Let him in." ”
……。
"Subordinate Chief Lin Wei Group No. 27."
This sentence shocked Wu Zheng's heart, he knew that Yingtianfu already had a branch of Changlinwei, but Wu Zheng didn't know that Changlinwei would appear in this group of chaotic people.
"The person killed is the target of the subordinates who have been monitoring, and the subordinates were ordered to investigate the real cause of the civil unrest, and they didn't know that the prince would come in a small way, so they have been hiding among the people."
There's no time to bother with that, as long as it's your own.
"Lord Wang, please allow your subordinates to release the horn."
The horn is actually a signal tube, and Chang Lin Wei has seven kinds of signal tubes to deliver simple messages.
Wu Zheng knows.
"Exactly."
