Chapter 138: A Different Kind of Assassin
"Is everything arranged?" Li Wuji asked the person next to him, with anticipation in his tone.
The long knife in his hand was gently wiped, and the silver light on the back of the knife shone on the people beside him. The cold light of the blade in front of them was their only reliance on this trip.
"Don't worry, the person who answered this has already been arranged, and the guards in the mansion who have been paid off by us will also be prepared according to the plan to be continued."
"This time, we must take the life of the old son of the Zhao family. Ladies and gentlemen, the wise family has been waiting for this time for so many years. Li Wuji raised the steel knife in his hand and said to everyone.
"We understand! Kill the old man of the Zhao family and be loyal to the Lord. The neat sounds of the night were particularly abrupt, but fortunately they were not heard by anyone else.
Li Wuji was also a young ranger when he was young, and was later hunted down by the enemy, but fortunately, the Zhijia took him in, and his family was also properly settled. I know what the smart family does to take advantage of itself, but this is the transaction. For the sake of his family's future life, today Li Wuji has to fight with his life to complete the task assigned to him by the Zhi family.
Today's prey is Zhao He, one of the most powerful heads of the Jin Kingdom, and Zhao He, who is the prey, is preparing to fall asleep at the moment.
Older people are always a little sleepy, and after drinking a cup of hot tea, they are ready to go to sleep. This Zhao He is too old to stand the disturbance of sounds, so when Zhao He sleeps, the people around him will be cleared.
This kind of news can naturally be known after inquiry, which is a great opportunity for killers like Wuji.
Under Nei Ying's response, these assassins could easily sneak into the Zhao family in the food delivery team. So many people in the Zhao family are consuming food every day, so many people in the Zhao family send fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
"We've been hiding here for so long, so why hasn't there been any news from that Neiying for us to do it." The man who spoke had been squatting in the room where the fruits and vegetables were stored and had been stuffed for a long time, and he was already a little impatient.
"Don't talk, if you are discovered, it will be troublesome, look at the light from the window outside, and you can go out in less than a while."
Li Wuji knows that a good hunter often has patience beyond ordinary people, more patience than prey. Good hunters can often hunt for weeks in the mountains and forests to hunt tigers and bears, and weeks of waiting for a few minutes to hunt.
And now you only need to wait for a while in this courtyard full of fruits and vegetables to complete the goal, and the head of the Zhao family, Zhao He, will be accepted.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and everyone hiding in the room immediately quieted down, for fear that people outside would find out about their existence.
The footsteps outside the door suddenly stopped, and the man patrolling outside seemed to notice something wrong and was about to open the door. The Liwuji hidden in the room also mentioned his throat, and if he was discovered, he might even lose his life here.
Li Wuji pulled out the sharp blade on his waist and made a tiger predatory gesture, preparing for the person outside the door, if he slit his throat before he could make a sound, he would be speechless.
But if it really turns out to him, the others will surely inform the steward if they find that one of them has not returned for a long time. Once you start a big search, it's almost impossible to do it tonight.
"Away from your lord? I'm here to pick you up. ”
After hearing that it was their own people, everyone hid in the room, and after coming out of the room full of vegetables, everyone stretched and changed into the clothes of the Zhao family. The weapons and blades used for assassination are hidden on the body, and the small and delicate hidden weapons do not need to be used with huge weapons.
Under the leadership of Neiying, everyone passed through several layers of guards, but once they approached the back house, they were told by Neiying that ordinary subordinates could not approach at all.
"Now you're on standby at the pick-up location, and we'll take care of the rest."
After hearing the words of the leader Li Wuji, the Nei Ying said goodbye and left with pretended firm steps.
At this time, Nei Ying had already brought Li Wuji and the others to the vicinity of the back house, and now it was time for them to climb over the wall. Like civets in the night, these men quietly hid the patrolling guards through the trees, and climbed over the walls to get closer to the courtyard that Ui Ying had pointed out.
"If what Nei Ying said is right, there is Zhao He's courtyard in front." Looking at the outside, there is a defensive line composed of mobile posts and fixed posts, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to penetrate it.
"Unless you attack us, there is no other way to get in, and it is not realistic to fight the tunnel in such a short time. Maybe we can think about how about distracting the guards, how about we deliberately create a fire. ”
Li Wuji sneered, "If you deliberately create a fire, this Zhao He may be awakened, and after waking up, those guards may gather around Zhao He." ”
After listening to Li Wuji's words, everyone who came to assassinate them didn't know what to do. This plan to lure the enemy doesn't seem to work, but if you go back like this, how should this Zhijia explain it.
"Boss, what should we do, we didn't expect that this old guy Zhao He would spare his life so much, and he would arrange so many guards." There was a clear pessimism in the tone of the man who spoke, and it seemed that today's task could not be completed.
The assassin just infiltrates the target and then starts a fight, and at the moment it seems that he can't even complete the first step of the assassination.
Just when everyone had done a good job and returned in vain, Li Wuji suddenly spoke: "Your husbands have received heavy responsibilities and cultivated until death. Today, we will kill it in a dignified manner, and the direct result will be the life of Zhao He's second child. Assault it directly! ”
Storm?
Everyone except Limowgli gasped, we are assassins and not samurai, and the assassins are hiding in the corner and suddenly attacking. There is probably no precedent for such an assassination in a dignified frontal assault.
"But we don't have the right weapons now, short swords, daggers, and crossbows are easy to carry, but we don't have big swords and spears, so we will suffer a big loss if we are hard."
What this subordinate said is indeed very reasonable.,It's not a problem to single out a guard in the case of assassination.,But if it's a head-to-head duel, the assassin is not an opponent.。。
Just like Napoleon said, 2 Mamluks can definitely win 3 French cavalry; 100 French cavalry were evenly matched with 100 Mamluks; Most of the 300 French cavalry were able to defeat 300 Mamluks; 1,000 French cavalry can always defeat 1,500 Mamluks.
"Isn't the weapon in the other party's hand, just grab it." Li Wuji's words caused an uproar among everyone again.
