Chapter 127: Assassination
It was getting late, and Cao Liang finished his shift and left the palace.
After returning to Luoyang from Wenxian, Cao Liang no longer had any contact with Xiahou Xuan, and he continued his own rhythm of life step by step, seemingly indifferent to Sima Shi's wedding.
Because Cao Liang knew that he was the object of the Sima family's attention, and his every move in Luoyang City was even being watched, and he pretended to be indifferent, just to paralyze the people of the Sima family.
In fact, Cao Liang and Xiahou Xuan have already made an agreement, and there is no need for Cao Liang to make a move in the next matter, Xiahou Xuan will naturally handle all this.
Cao Liang has done everything, Xiahou Xuan is actually very grateful, if it were not for Cao Liang's advice and wit, I am afraid that Xiahou Xuan has really been kept in the dark by the Sima family, this time the truth is revealed, the cause of his sister's death has also been determined, it is time to settle the account with the Sima family.
The next matter, Xiahou Xuan can already handle it by himself, anyway, the grudge between him and the Sima family has reached the point of endless death, so there is no need to involve Cao Liang again.
In fact, Cao Liang doesn't care, he and the Sima family are already intolerable, even if they fill in this matter again, it's not a big deal.
However, in order to avoid being detected by the Sima family, Cao Liang still kept a considerable distance from Xiahou Xuan, even if Sima Yi was shrewd, he would never expect that someone was already targeting him, so in order to kill the Sima family by surprise, Cao Liang still deliberately alienated Xiahou Xuan to facilitate Xiahou Xuan's next operation.
Cao Liang should be a living and doing business, and he should be on duty, and the rhythm of life has not been disrupted because of the imminent arrival of Sima Shi's wedding.
As soon as he got out of Sima Gate, he saw a subordinate who looked like a house slave stopped in front of his horse, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Cao, the younger one is a descendant of Yangfu, and I have come to invite my son to Maolong Garden for a while. ”
It's the Dragon Garden again?
The corners of Cao Liang's mouth showed a slight smile, he was in love with Mao Longyuan before, and he and Yang Huiyu really determined the relationship.
This time, Yang Huiyu asked him to meet in the Dragon Garden, which can be regarded as a revisit.
Yang Huiyu's current thoughts, Cao Liang is not difficult to understand, seeing that the wedding is approaching, and Cao Liang has no movement here, she is naturally worried.
When I made an appointment with Cao Liang, I must have asked the truth.
Cao Liang did not refuse, and ordered the slave to lead the way and go to the Dragon Garden.
When Cao Liang was on duty in the palace, Fang Bu couldn't enter the palace, so he could only wait outside Sima Gate.
As for where Cao Liang is going, he doesn't care, and he never takes the initiative to ask, in short, his duty is to protect Cao Liang's safety, as for other things, he doesn't listen to or ask.
The dragon garden is unharmed, but there is no garden party today, and it is almost dusk, so there is silence in the dragon garden, and there is hardly half a figure in sight.
After entering the Dragon Garden, the three of them dismounted together and walked in steps.
Originally, lovers would choose the old place for their tryst, which was both convenient and emotional, but what made Cao Liang strange was that this slave led the way in front and did not go to the place where they met last time, but walked to the east of the dragon pool.
This couldn't help but make Cao Liang a little puzzled, and at the same time he was a little vigilant, if it was really Yang Huiyu who asked him to meet, how could he choose an unfamiliar location?
Cao Liang deliberately pretended to be careless and asked, "In the past, it was always the sheep boy who came over, why didn't the sheep boy show up today?" ”
The slave's expression did not change much, and he lowered his head and replied: "My son-in-law is busy with affairs, and he is preparing for the marriage in the house, and he is not idle today, so the villain accompanied Miss Yang over." ”
Will Yanghu take the initiative to do these wedding chores? It's just nonsense! Yanghu didn't approve of this marriage at all, and now that she knew about Cao Liang and her sister, how could she do this.
Cao Liang stopped, his eyes were a little cold, and he stared at the slave and said, "I see that you are a little faceless, Miss Yang, when did you have more slaves?" ”
The slave still said quietly: "The villain has been in Yangfu for a long time, and he has been serving the young lady, and he is usually not seen by outsiders, so Cao Gongzi does not know the villain." My young lady is in front, Mr. Cao, please. ”
Cao Liang didn't move, but sneered, "Who are you?" What is the intention of using the name of Yangfu? ”
This time, the house slave sank his face, and said coldly to Cao Liang's questioning: "I'm going to kill you!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the man suddenly had a dagger in his hand, and suddenly stabbed towards Cao Liang's chest.
Along the way, the assassin had kept a relatively close distance from Cao Liang, and when the incident happened, the two were only a few feet apart.
It is estimated that the assassin is still depressed, along the way, his identity has not been flawed, this character, how can he say that it will collapse?
Regarding the assassin's sudden attack, Cao Liang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and did not appear to be flustered at all, standing in place, calm and relaxed, as if ignoring this change.
Faster than the assassin's attack, it was naturally Fang Bu's knife, as soon as the assassin showed his dagger, Fang Bu's knife was already out of its sheath, and in a flash of cold light, it slashed towards the assassin's wrist.
This knife came too quickly, the assassin didn't expect that there would be someone who was faster than him, this knife slashed, like a bamboo, if the assassin didn't stop at this moment, the right hand was destined to be separated from the body.
After all, it is still unknown whether this stab can hurt Cao Liang's life, but Fang Bu's knife is bound to abolish him.
The assassin gritted his teeth, and could only choose to retreat, anyway, what they arranged in the Dragon Garden today was very proper, Cao Liang wanted to escape from death, almost daydreaming.
If the opportunity is lost, he can find it again, but if someone cuts off an arm, then he will really destroy his martial arts as the leader of a dead man.
But if he wants to dodge, can he dodge?
The answer is naturally self-evident, since the knife of Fang Bu is rarely unsheathed, once it is unsheathed at this moment, how can it be put back if there is no blood.
The Assassin shrunk in shape, trying to dodge the suddenness with all the power of his life.
And Fang Bu didn't give him a chance at all, the knife slashed at a faster speed like lightning, like a shadow, the assassin retreated a few feet and didn't even stand on his heel, Fang Bu's knife cut his throat.
