Chapter 52: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High and the Night of Murder
At night, in the second prince's mansion, a middle-aged man hurriedly knocked on the study.
"Uncle, what kind of wind blew you over?"
"Come and sit down, the freshly picked tea leaves taste sweet and refreshing!"
The second prince held a teapot in his hand, placed two delicate teacups, and the sound of running water gradually spread.
The middle-aged man took a cup and drank it down, and said with an anxious face: "Now that more than two months have passed, why haven't you seen the news of the assassination of Luo Li come back?" ”
Since the last time I heard that the second prince insisted on assassinating Luo Li before the envoy, in the past two months, every day the middle-aged man has been restless, and he has no intention of even going to the court and handling political affairs.
Until today, there was no news, and the middle-aged man couldn't help it at all, so he came to ask.
"This prince has changed his mind!" The second prince said after sipping the tea.
"Whew! It's good to change it! It's good to change it! The middle-aged man's tense body relaxed, and his heart was completely relieved.
"This prince plans to make a move in Xijing, the capital of Shu State!"
"What? Why? The middle-aged man was dumbfounded!
The second prince smiled slowly: "It's very simple, kill before the mission, this prince feels that this scene is not lively enough!" ”
"Hiss~hiss~" The middle-aged man was shocked, and his throat twitched like a bellows.
In the past, they had guessed that this envoy should be on a secret mission, and if the deputy envoy was assassinated when the mission arrived in Xijing and was about to discuss, the Emperor of Anguo would be furious when he knew about it, and he didn't know how many heads would fall to the ground.
The middle-aged man was silent, pinching the cup and trembling his hands, in his opinion, the second prince's move was tantamount to playing with fire and self-immolation.
There are three princes who want to kill Luo Li the most, and only the second prince and the third prince have the ability to create all this at the moment.
The four princes have been placed in the domain, and it has become a situation of no one to help them.
So sooner or later, it will be found out on the head of the second prince, and then everything will be over!
One night, the middle-aged man spent the night in fear, but unfortunately no matter how he tried to dissuade him, it was useless, and the second prince just smiled and drank tea without speaking!
After the middle-aged man left in a huff, the second prince stood up, looked up at the dark night sky outside the window and muttered: "Heh! There is no moon tonight! ”
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night of murder!"
……
Xijing, post station!
Luo Li came back to his senses and got up from the bed, and only after a hasty wash did he fall asleep.
The time of the child is the heaviest time of the twelve hours, and in the era of cold weapons, people usually sleep soundly at this time.
The important people of the mission all lived on the second floor, and the room where Luo Li was located happened to be in the innermost.
To put it bluntly, no one will come here except Luoli.
It was just tonight that there was an exception, and the sound of "dong dong" footsteps sounded softly.
The two Black Water Guards on duty at night were all dumped in the corridor, and most of them were dead when they heard the sound, and the blood was slowly flowing down the wooden plank.
"Flower girl! Don't go! Accompany the uncle! Why don't you have fun with you? Luo Li, who was asleep, smashed his mouth, as if he had dreamed of some wonderful scene, and the smile on his face became more and more obscene!
Luo Li believed that as long as the girl saw it, she slapped her face and scolded shyly: "Stinky rascal! ”
"Huh! It's so obscene when death is on the verge of death! The cold drink was whispered, and a masked man in black drew a cold dagger and tiptoed towards the bed.
Seeing that the dagger was less than two feet away, Luo Li was still in a deep sleep.
"Bang dang!"
Under the great opportunity, the man in black actually kicked his foot under the bed and made a loud noise.
"The Flower Girl is here?"
Luo Li, who was asleep, woke up suddenly, sat up with round eyes and looked around.
"Shhh
"Mom! Help me! ”
Luo Li's eyes ached, and the scream blurted out, resounding through the Xijing Station.
The first to be woken up by the screams was Qiu Fu, who turned over and landed in the middle of the room.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Heishui guards in the room woke up one after another, knowing that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to rush to Luoli's room.
Who knew that Qiu Fu stretched out his hand to stop everyone, and said with a cruel smile: "Lord Luo is so dreaming, probably just a dream!" ”
The hatred of the rich, who was silent along the way, finally showed his hideous face at this moment, and it was clear that he wanted to see death or not save him!
The scene turned back to Luo Li's room, since he saw the assassin attacking, Luo Li screamed, and used all his strength to stretch out his leg and kick out, unintentionally kicking the man in black in the waist, forcing him back a few steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Li quickly turned over and got up, and wanted to rush out without caring about his single clothes!
It's a pity that the man in black couldn't let him go, his legs exploded, and he used the carp to stiffen, and immediately stood up straight, and the dagger in his hand stabbed Luo Li in the back of the heart.
"Zila!"
The soles of Luo Li's feet slipped, the dagger pierced through the single clothes, and flew forward against the flesh.
Then the man in black tripped over Luo Li on the ground, and the two bodies overlapped each other and fell to the ground at the same time.
"Crunch!"
Suddenly!
The door is open!
The chubby figure appears!
Zhou Zheng looked at it, instantly gasped, and then said in a disdainful tone: "I didn't expect that the virtuous brother actually liked this!" ”
"Excuse me!"
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut by Zhou Zheng!
Misunderstanding! Luo Li's face turned red at first, and then turned white with fear!
"Brother, save me!" Luo Li was pressed under him, and his words were slurred.
It's a pity that Zhou Zheng was already stunned by the scene just now, and thought that Luo Li was a cheering word, so he didn't pay attention to it and strode away.
As he walked, he said, "Tsk, young people are really amazing now, they like to use uniforms to help the fun, can the body and bones withstand it?" ”
The man in black hurriedly stood up and picked up the dagger that had just been thrown out!
He knows very well that he has already revealed the stuffing, and if he doesn't solve it, there will be no chance!
Under the mask, his expression was ruthless again, and the dagger pulled a flower and wiped it towards Luo Li's neck with weak legs on the ground.
Seeing that the danger had reached the limit, Luo Li wanted to struggle, but because his body was frightened, he couldn't move.
The dagger arrived in front of him like lightning, and Luo Li seemed to be able to see the fierce gaze of the man in black!
In desperation, he closed his eyes and accepted his fate!
The last thought flashed in my heart, praying that God would give me another chance to cross, even if I was a beggar, Uncle Luo didn't pick it!
At the last moment, a fat hand stretched out and grabbed the masked black-clothed man's advancing hand with all his strength, and the dagger was only the last trace left from Luo Li's throat!
The cold light pierced the skin slightly, oozing a drop of blood!
After a few breaths, before the sharp pain came, Luo Li finally sensed that something was wrong, and slowly opened his eyes of fear!
The dagger stuck to the skin, but it didn't stab into the throat, and the black-clothed heart softened?
With a skeptical mentality, he looked up along the dagger, and the petite wrist of the man in black was held by a strong fat hand, and he couldn't move no matter how he struggled!
"Fatty, how could it be you?" Luo Li's eyes widened, and a roar erupted in his mouth, and his emotions were even more shocked than seeing the man in black!
