Chapter 59: The Archer
Wen Chou's voice sounded, and everyone knew that this was actually a trap.
It's just that they can't cancel their plans and stop attacking now.
Because their master Zhang Rang gave them a death order, if they couldn't complete the task, let them live rather than die.
And Zhang Rang's means are also clear to them in their hearts, as long as it falls into his hands, even death is a luxury wish.
And as long as they kill Yuan Shao and Zhao Yun, Zhang Rang will ensure that they are prosperous and rich, and they will enjoy inexhaustible.
Man is wealthy, and dead birds die for food.
It is the best interpretation of this group of outlaws.
"Do you know what the price is for daring to murder a minister of the court?"
Facing Wen Chou's questioning, everyone, you look at me, I look at you.
The last leader said, "There's no time, we'll hold him back." The rest of you, deal with the two people lying on the bed. ”
Because the time for the changing of the guard was approaching, it took a lot of effort for them to be able to pretend to be the palace guards to guard here.
If the time comes, when the next wave of guards comes, then they won't have a chance at all.
So when everyone heard his words, the soldiers who had a very tacit understanding were divided into two ways, one was responsible for entangling Wen Chou, and the other was to kill Yuan Shao and them.
Wen Chou took the lead and put down the person who rushed to the front directly, snatched the fast knife in his hand, and stabbed him mercilessly.
In just one round of encounters, these killers were one less man.
Wen Chou stood up and faced them, the knife in his hand, and the blood of the dead dripping down.
Wen Chou's decisiveness is cultivated on the battlefield for many years.
This shot suppressed all these killers.
"Quick, let's do it together, if we can't complete the task tonight, none of us will die well."
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people rushed towards Wen Chou together.
Wen Chou faced the siege of everyone, and he did not flinch.
They want to use the numerical advantage to entangle Wen Chou, but how can Wen Chou let them succeed?
Because the room is small, it is not in an open area, and the range of activities is limited.
It was impossible for them to achieve the predetermined tactics, so they could only go on the three together, and the rest of them found an opportunity to rush over.
It's just that Wen Chou is like a goalkeeper, firmly guarding the position of about one meter in front of the bed, and never rushes out of this range without authorization.
He knew in his heart that his goal was not to wipe out all these people.
Just hold them back and wait for someone else to come and change the guard, and that's a success.
At this moment, two people suddenly rushed out, they threw away the weapons in their hands, and the whole person pounced on Wen Chou, and pulled Wen Chou aside.
Two more people saw the opportunity and controlled Wen Chou's hands, and for a while, Wen Chou couldn't get rid of the shackles at all.
The leader walked directly to the bed, raised the knife in his hand, and Wen Chou shouted "No." ”
It's just that the man turned a deaf ear, and the fast knife fell very quickly.
At the last moment, an arrow suddenly came from outside the window, shot directly into the man's body, and then fell to the ground.
Immediately after the second, the third......
A typical burst of arrows with short intervals in between.
And the arrows were all shot at the killers who trapped Wen Chou's hands and feet.
The sudden arrival of everything calmed everyone present.
But Wen Chou was the first to react, and he was the first to attack.
And the killers were terrified because they feared that the mysterious archer would shoot arrows at them.
So in the face of Wen Chou's attack, he was also a little powerless.
Just when Wen Chou was killing the last person, he suddenly stopped, he needed a living mouth.
Although he knew that there was a good chance that these killers were sent by Zhang Rang, he had no evidence and could not convict Zhang Rang.
Leave a living mouth now, and in the future, when confronted by the court, he will also be a witness.
It's just that that person knows Wen Chou's purpose of not killing him, and he also knows that it is impossible to complete the task tonight, so he decisively chose to commit suicide.
When Wen Chou saw that person die, he just felt pity in his heart.
Then he came to the window where the bow and arrow had been shot, and as far as he could see, there was no one but the bright moonlight.
Wen Chou also began to wonder who was secretly helping? Could it be the emperor?
After a while, the guards arrived, and when they saw the corpses all over the ground, they realized that something big had happened.
Some of the people were in charge of guarding, and the leader went directly to meet the emperor.
Although it was at night, Liu Wei had told them that if there was any accident on Yuan Shao's side, they would tell him at any time.
So Liu Wei, who was still sleeping, was suddenly woken up, and he must have felt uncomfortable.
Don't look at the emperor's young age, he is very angry when he gets up.
He originally planned to teach the person who disturbed his sweet dreams a good lesson, but when he learned that it was about Yuan Shao, he hurriedly asked people to dress up and walk in the direction of Xue Yun.
And Zhang Rang, who single-handedly planned this assassination, is not asleep now, because he doesn't know whether Yuan Shao and the others are alive or dead, he can't sleep at all.
It's just that when he heard that the assassination failed, the whole person was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he hurriedly went to find Yuan Shao and them.
Because his eyeliner is everywhere in the palace, if he doesn't appear there tonight, it will cause others to be alert, and then Liu Wei may seize the opportunity to clean him up.
So shortly after Liu Wei arrived at his destination, he also arrived.
Liu Wei saw Zhang Rang and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, I didn't expect you to be still in the palace, I thought you had left?" ”
Zhang Rang bent down and said, "The slave has some things that have not been dealt with in the palace, and when they are done, it is already dark, and they have not left." No, I heard that there was a homicide here, so I came over to take a look, is Yuan Gong okay? ”
Liu Wei said, "Father-in-law, rest assured, they are all right, and the murderer did not hurt them at all." ”
When Liu Wei said this, he was purely arrogant.
Although he knew all this, he couldn't cure Zhang Rang's crime without evidence.
Sure enough, Zhang Rang's expression changed suddenly when he heard it, although he knew that the plan had failed, he was still annoyed because he was unwilling.
"Then I wonder if there is a living mouth?" Zhang Rang continued, he was worried that if there was a living mouth, that person would confess himself.
I saw Liu Wei shaking his head and saying, "It's a pity, General Wen Chou originally planned to keep a living person, but that person suddenly chose to commit suicide, so I can't ask anything." ”
At this moment, the army in the palace is removing the body from the house.
But when they saw someone killed by an arrow, they were all shocked in their hearts.
Zhang Rang didn't expect that there was an archer secretly protecting Yuan Shao's safety. And he thinks that this archer was sent by Liu Bian.
And the reason why Liu Wei was surprised was that he had never sent anyone to protect Yuan Shao, and he didn't know where this archer came from.
And in a remote palace next to the palace, a man with a longbow stood in front of people dressed in gorgeous costumes and said, "Lord Qiqi, the mission has been completed. ”
The prince smiled and said, "Okay, it's done well." I didn't expect my nephew to be so careless and didn't secretly arrange his subordinates to protect Yuan Shao's safety? ”
