Chapter 228: Assassination in the Night
The emperor's sudden night visit to King Ning's mansion had already reached the ears of the crown prince Liu Yan that night, and Liu Yan began to sit still. Liu Yan originally wanted to summon Xun Mou immediately to discuss, but now that time is pressing, wouldn't it be a delay to go back and forth like this?
Liu Yan then put on his clothes, asked his subordinates to prepare the carriage, and immediately went to the Weiguo Mansion.
Xun Mou had been waiting for a long time, and he also knew the prince's intention, so he and his father led the prince to the study to plot.
As soon as Liu Yan entered the study, he began to rub his hands back and forth in the room, and kept muttering, "How is it good?" How is it good? ”
Wei Guogong Xun Yu said: "Since His Royal Highness has not been poisoned, why should he be afraid!" ”
Liu Yan stretched out his hands, "Now I'm afraid that the emperor's grandfather will listen to and believe it!" If his old man really thinks that it is poisoned by this palace, it will be completely over! Immediately afterwards, Liu Yan suddenly seemed to remember something, "Yes, yes, yes, it must be Lu Zuo, it must be Lu Zuo......"
Xun Yu's father and son also knew what Liu Yan wanted to say, because the two of them also doubted whether it was Lu Zuo who was secretly making plans.
Xun Yu said: "The most important thing we should do right now is how to prevent what the emperor will do next." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Yan looked flustered, and said with palpitations, "If Liu Xun really can't wake up, the imperial grandfather will ...... He's going to ...... Scrap mine. General Xun, you must find a way to save me......"
Xun Mou was much calmer in comparison, and comforted the prince: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, if Liu Xun really can't wake up, the emperor may not be able to do anything to you, now we must immediately cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and first get rid of the scourge of Lu Zuo." ”
"But does it work?"
"It seems useless, but if you think about it, Lu Zuo has always held a grudge against you, and now he does not hesitate to sacrifice King Ning, in order to get rid of you, now he is one step away, he will definitely find a way to fall down after King Ning dies and pull you off the horse." Xun Mou said, with a hint of green light in his eyes, "The scary thing is not how King Ning is, but that someone took this opportunity to fall into the stone!" Right now, Lu Zuo has the emperor's most trusted Gao Yun! ”
After hearing this, Liu Yan nodded secretly, "Reasonable, and now Gao Yun hates the palace the most." Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, "But this palace has been to see Lu Zuo, he is clearly riddled with old diseases, and he has been around for a few days, so it is impossible to make waves!" ”
"Your Highness! Lu Zuo's distinction is clearly a trick. Xun Mou couldn't help but say.
Liu Yan was stunned, and in an instant, the blue tendons on his forehead jumped, "Lu Zuo!" Lu Zuo! After muttering two sentences in succession, his clenched right fist slammed on the bookcase, "If it's really an old fox, I knew that I should have cut down the grass and eradicate the roots last year, and now I won't have such a toss." Hmph......" Then he asked Xun Moudao, "Then what now?" ”
Xun Mou also fell into deep thought, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Sending someone to assassinate now will definitely lead to Yin Ji, and Yin Ji is the person we are looking for, I originally wanted to settle accounts with him after this while, but now it seems that it is the right time." ”
"But Yin Ji is superb in martial arts, and our people have assassinated Lu Zuo many times but can't, it's because of him, and now the old tricks are repeated, I'm afraid that we are still the same four empty?"
Xun Meng's face sank, "It seems that this time I have to go out in person!" ”
Liu Yan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of cunning, "If General Xun personally comes out, it will really be nine out of ten." As long as Yin Ji can be caught, not only Lu Zuoru is on the case, but the "Ghost Valley Vertical and Horizontal Theory" is also like a bag. Without further ado, when is General Xun going to leave? ”
"Just tonight......"
Xun Mou immediately began to prepare that night, and Liu Yan ordered Deng Zhuo, the general of Jin Wuwei, to divide into two ways with Xun Moubing, one to assassinate Lu Zuo, and the other to contain the possible Yin Ji, while Liu Yan and Xun Yu waited for news in the study of the Weiguo Mansion.
The Lu Mansion shrouded in cold nights was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. The night was already deeper, and except for a few sporadic lights in the house, there seemed to be no other life to be found. In the wing room of the Lu Mansion, Lu Zuo had already fallen asleep, quiet but it was difficult to sleep, and the cold wind howled outside the house, making the noise irritating.
Quiet Ruo got up with his clothes, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the window, and could faintly feel a cold wind blowing, maybe the window was broken. Just as Jingruo got up, Lu Zuo also woke up and asked Jingruo what was wrong.
"The window seems to be broken, get up and take a look. You go to sleep first! ”
Jing Ruo put on civilian clothes, felt the darkness and lit the lights in the house, and when he went to the window to look, he found that the window paper had indeed broken a hole, which was a finger wide. But this hole looked strange, as if it had been cut by a knife, and Quiet Ruo suddenly became alert.
"Jingruo, what's wrong?" Lu Zuo also got dressed and asked in a low voice.
Jing Ruo looked at the hole in the window, frowned and replied, "Strange! How did I not notice this hole in the window today? And the hole was so smooth that it looked like it had been cut by a knife. ”
"What......" Lu Zuo exclaimed for a while, his face instantly turned pale, and a faint uneasiness suddenly came to his heart, "It's not good, if we go quickly!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Before the quiet could finish speaking, Lu Zuo took her hand and prepared to leave. At this moment, a black shadow broke through the window, and then two or three more figures jumped into the window, each holding a sharp sword and pointing directly at Lu Zuo.
"Not good!"
Lu Zuo pulled Jing Ruo to speed up his pace and ran to the door, the door just opened, but he saw three black shadows standing in front of the door, holding a sword and pointing directly at Lu Zuo's head. Quiet Ruo's eyes quickly pulled Lu Zuo to his side, and successfully dodged the blade, and then several black-clothed people behind him formed an encirclement and suppression, forcing Lu Zuo and his wife to the wall.
Just when the six men in black surrounded Lu Zuo and his wife, suddenly, one of the men in black fell down, and when the other five men in black looked back together, they found that there was also a person outside the door with a sharp blade, jumped into the door, and slashed left and right at the other five people with a knife, and one of them couldn't dodge, so he fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lu Zuo hurriedly took Jing Ruo's hand and ran towards the window. The couple jumped out of the window one after the other, never thinking that the man in black would also be moved, and after two of them got out, they also jumped out of the window, leaving only two figures in the house to fight around the other man in black.
There were swords and swords in the room, and the other two men in black gradually gained the upper hand. The black-clothed man with the knife fought and retreated, came to the dripping eaves outside the house, and while holding the knife to block, he looked around, but found that there was no one else in the courtyard, and Lu Zuo and his wife and the other two black-clothed men were also gone. The knife bearer was thinking about it, and his mind was confused for a while, and when the sword stabbed by the other party was separated easily, it gave another man in black an opportunity to take advantage of it, and a sword was in the middle of his shoulder, and a bright red cut was a finger long.
