The guards guarding outside Zhao He's courtyard were not aware of the danger outside, and the soldiers patrolling with torches lit up the surrounding night with the light of the fire.

The Assassins who lurked on the surrounding rooftops loaded their crossbows with arrows, which had a short range but were easy to carry. However, only a small number of people carry this somewhat frivolous long-range weapon.

The rest of the people with sharp blades were in the hidden corners, just waiting for Liwuji to issue instructions for action.

Sou!

The sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air reached the ears of all the nearby guards, and more than a dozen guards were shot directly in the throat by the crossbow arrows. The rest of the guards reacted immediately, ready to go and capture the man who fired the crossbow arrow.

The Assassins lurking in the secrecy attacked the guards at the same time, their blades slicing through thin skin, and red blood pouring from the wounds.

Sure enough, he is a professional assassin, and the sharp blade in his hand hits the point, and the throat is undoubtedly the best target.

The guards who were suddenly attacked suddenly panicked, they were all professionally trained guards, and they were good at how to deal with all kinds of assassinations. But suddenly, in the face of these samurai-like enemies, these guards were immediately beaten to the ground.

"Brothers, kill it!"

picked up a long knife from the hand of a guard of the Zhao family and began to slash and kill the guards around him.

Several killers climbed directly from the wall into the courtyard where Zhao He was, and the purpose of their trip was only one - Zhao He. As long as the target is killed, they can be evacuated, so most of the Assassins are responsible for stopping the influx of guards.

"Quick! Fast! In front of him is Zhao He's residence, although he will get up and run around, but he will definitely not be able to escape. ”

The Assassins heard a lot of news from Nei Ying, including the structure around the room where Zhao He lived. That room wasn't good for hiding at all.

The people who went to assassinate Zhao He found that the house was lit by candlelight, and judging from the shadow through the window, a figure was running around in a hurry.

"Zhao He, Lao'er, your life is over! Come on! ”

The Assassins who broke through the door rushed in, and saw an old man slumped on the ground, and the old man seemed to have a strange smile on his expression in addition to horror.

How can a person show horror and smile at the same time, all this is really weird.

"Damn, why haven't those people succeeded yet, is an old man so difficult to deal with." Li Wuji waved the long knife in his hand, forming an airtight safety zone around him. Anyone who wanted to do anything to Liwuji was repulsed, but in the long run, Liwuji's body was almost overdrawn.

In addition to Li Wuji, many assassins are also waiting for the news that their partners inside have succeeded, and they can retreat as long as the task is completed, but why are the movements of those gangs so slow.

As more and more guards from the Zhao family came to join the battle, the Assassins began to be overwhelmed, and many of them were impaled through the chest with spears or beheaded under the siege of the guards.

The number of Assassins resisting outside continued to decrease, and the remaining Assassins began to lose their morale, and if they continued to fight like this, they would be completely wiped out.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the door behind him.

"They should get it, everyone get out!" As he spoke, Li Wuji picked up the long knife in his hand and began to prepare to break through the defense line formed by the surrounding Zhao family guards.

As the door slowly opened, more than a dozen people walked out.

But the people who came out were not the assassins who came but the top masters of the Zhao family, and the unsuspecting assassins in their backs were quickly cut down, except for a few who were knocked unconscious on the spot, only Li Wuji was left to support them.

"It's all designed, you've been prepared for it for a long time, right?" Li Wuji looked at the Zhao family masters and guards around him viciously like a wounded beast.

"That's right, but it's too late. Your inner should be my man. I guess all of your men have been executed by now. ”

Zhao He looked at Li Wuji with a playful smile, and Li Wuji looked up to the sky and laughed.

"It seems that today is inevitable, it seems that I should have someone from your Zhao family above me, this Zhi family is dead!" The indescribable grief and indignation came out of Liwuji's mouth.

Once the Zhi family falls, then his family will have no living security, how can orphans and widows live in such troubled times.

Now it's cornered, so I can only try to see if I can get out of here. Although nine out of ten will die here, as long as there is hope, we must fight hard.

"Don't think about running away from Wuji, you are also a talent, if you are willing to defect to me, I will also solve the safety problem of your family."

Zhao He felt that this Li Wuji was a person who could be used, and it was more useful to keep him than to kill him. And the conditions he prescribed, Wuji should not refuse.

"Zhao He, what you said is indeed very tempting, but loyal ministers do not serve the second master. The eldest husband has received a heavy responsibility until he dies, come on! It's useless to say more! ”

Zhao He's conditions are very tempting, but if there is no Zhi family, he and his family may have been eaten by wild dogs long ago. Since you have received the favor of others, you must do things for others.

"It's a loyal minister, it's a man. The old man hasn't seen someone like you in years. Xiao Wu, leave him a whole corpse. ”

After a dozen blades clashed, a man gradually fell to the ground.

Li Wuji's vision gradually blurred, the figure in front of him also turned into a black shadow, and the surrounding sounds gradually quieted down. It's not that the people around you really don't make sounds, it's that you can't hear the sounds around you because you're about to die.

This night, the Zhi family's assassination of Zhao He completely failed, and the idea of hoping to stop the Zhao family from doing it by assassination was also completely bankrupt.

"Huh, this wise family is really persevering, first sent people to attack the granary, and now they come directly to assassinate me." Zhao He's cloudy eyes shot a fine light.

The reason why the Zhao family didn't do it was to wait for an opportunity, and the allies of this contact were not ready. This Zhao He had already set a plan for an all-out attack.

Attack the Zhi family from every major place, and the Zhi family will inevitably take care of one at the expense of the other.

Now wait for Lu Zhan of Yanzhou to prepare his troops, and the troops in the hands of Zhiyu, the young master of the Southern Zhi Family, will be handed over to Lu Zhan to deal with. Zhongli Xin, who is from Zhongli's family, has also deployed his troops to the border, and now he only needs one spark to turn into a prairie fire.

"Looks like it's time to get ready to move." Lu Zhan put down the letter in his hand and drank a cup of tea silently.

After turning to look at the map hanging on the wall, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
