Chapter XXV

Dongdu Dongshi, Qingpingfang, Wutong Street, Haichu

Lu Yunsheng faced the wind and snow, walking on the way back to Tiwei Mansion, with a smile on his face, his heart was happy, like today, to be able to talk close to the woman he has always loved and admire, and to enjoy the music she played for himself alone, it was really pleasant.

In the past few days, for the case of Liu Yuanzhen's assassination, not only did he and Xiao Chongguang get involved in the power struggle, but also dug out the details in the Tiwei Mansion along the way, and now he has to fight with the Ming Spiegel Division.

However, since he is in charge, he must do his best, and he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, even if there are swords, mountains and fires waiting for him in front of him, he must continue to investigate.

At this time, every household in the eastern capital has closed their stalls and stopped the market, the lights are out and resting, the streets are deserted, there is no one, the moon and stars are shrouded in dark clouds, the night is thick, and you can only vaguely distinguish the surrounding houses and tiled houses, flying snow fluttering, and there is only the sound of the cold wind against the current in the ears.

Lu Yunsheng couldn't help but tighten the fox coat on his body, and his steps quickened.

At this moment, a sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded!

On the upper right side, a long sword suddenly burst out, pointing directly at Lu Yunsheng's faΓ§ade!

Yun Sheng's eyes were quick, and he immediately took a step back sideways to avoid the attack, and at the same time, he pulled out his saber from his waist, fixed his body, raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "What person?" Dare to assassinate Benwei! ”

When he fixed his eyes, there was only a vague black shadow standing not far away, and judging by the way the other party attacked, he should lie in ambush on the right side of the house, and wait until he approached, and then suddenly attack.

Yun Sheng has been in this line of work for five years, and he has experienced too many sudden attacks like this, and after a long time, even in the time of peace, his whole body is always guarding against sneak attacks, and it is difficult for ordinary people to assassinate him.

Before he could finish speaking, the black shadow came forward, and without answering, it slashed away according to Yunsheng's chest!

Yun Sheng's sword was diagonally in front of him, blocking this blow, making a "bang" sound of gold and iron colliding, and fierce sparks were sparked in the dark night, Yun Sheng clearly felt that the other party had great strength, and the long sword he held was not light, but it was easy to use in his hand, which showed that this assassin was not very human, and he must have been specially trained.

The other party had already approached the front at this time, and he could see it slightly through his eyes that had adapted to the darkness, this was a burly black-clothed masked man, holding a heavy sword, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

The assassin roared and launched an offensive again, Lu Yunsheng knew that if he was so hard-to-hard, he would definitely suffer, so he could only deal with him first, and then think of other methods.

The heavy sword slashed again and again, Yunsheng's footsteps were like flying, dodging back and forth left and right, and after a few misses, the assassin was obviously angry, and he was also very impatient, roaring and slashing wildly, and gradually the swordsmanship was also chaotic.

Lu Yunsheng saw his flaw, pretended to regress, moved back with one foot, and did not move the other foot in place, showing the word "one", and when the other party approached, he suddenly lowered his body, supported the ground with his hand that was not holding a knife, and threw his backward leg violently at the assassin's feet in a "sweeping hall" style!

Lu Yunsheng's sudden change of tactics was really unexpected, the assassin was caught off guard at all, he was swept in both feet, he couldn't stand when he landed, the whole person leaned back, only heard a "bang" sound, and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing that he had successfully knocked out the opponent, Yun Sheng immediately launched a counterattack, closing his body and swinging his knife to slash at the assassin's neck!

The masked assassin was quick to react, raising his sword to block Yunsheng's saber, and raised his foot to kick him in the abdomen, so that Yunsheng had to roll over and dodge.

Lu Yunsheng knew that it would be difficult to deal with this enemy alone, so while avoiding it, he took out the cigarette light canister of the command from his sleeve, stuck the knife on the ground, pulled out the string, and a light bullet pierced the night sky, and finally exploded into a brilliant firework in mid-air.

This firework represents an enemy attack, and all surrounding guards are ordered to gather reinforcements at the location where the fireworks are fired.

At this moment, the assassin was already on his feet, roaring and dancing his sword!

Lu Yunsheng pulled out the saber nailed to the ground, rolled back at the same time, and finally stood up "Teng", protected his chest with the knife, and put on a posture.

The assassin swung his sword and swept away, and although Yunsheng blocked it with his saber, he himself was shaken back again and again, and he felt as if he was colliding with a giant hammer.

At this time, I saw the surrounding flying snow suddenly fluttering in the opposite direction, and I saw the assassin spinning the giant sword, and the wind and snow were also enveloped inside, forming a powerful gale around him, and finally he let out a loud cry and smashed the giant sword into Lu Yunsheng's head!

Yunsheng was so shocked that his hairs stood on end, mobilized his true qi, and flowed into his legs, taking the first step, lifting his calves, stepping on the street wall behind him, and using a move "Yan Diagonal Fly", moving quickly as if he were walking on the ground, and moved to the side of the assassin.

The opponent's attack move was too powerful to change the move, and the blade fell, but when he heard the "boom", he directly smashed a wall.

The movement was so loud that it immediately alarmed the residents of the neighborhood, many of whom lit candles and opened windows to see what was happening.

The Assassin paid no attention to this, and turned around and was about to continue the attack, when suddenly a piercing whistle sounded, and it was blown three times in a row, and the sound of it was that of a short whistle made of green bamboo. When the Assassin heard this, he immediately stopped his progress, and with a cold snort of reluctance, he turned and leaped to his feet, stepping on the roofs of the rows of houses.

"Stop!"

Lu Yunsheng chased after him quickly, but the other party had already disappeared into the vast wind and snow and night.

He looked in the direction of the whistle, a deep alley that could not be seen even during the day, let alone at night, and even if the whistle was still there, he could not tell where he was.

At this time, the fire suddenly lit up, and Lu Yunsheng looked back and saw that it was more than a dozen nearby street patrol guards looking for him. When the captain who took the lead saw that it was Deputy Captain Lu, he hurriedly crossed his hands and bowed and said, "Meet Lu Tou'er." The guards behind him bowed as well.

"Lu Tou'er, did you find any suspicious people?" The captain asked.

Lu Yunsheng said: "I just encountered a sneak attack by the assassins, and now I have fled to the southeast of me, there are two people, one is tall and strong, holding a heavy sword, and the other should be the watchman of the assassin, there is a bamboo flute on his body, you will follow this clue and search the whole city." ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone should shout, and they ran in the direction indicated by Lu Yunsheng.

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! ”

Yu Jinyuan scolded Jiang Lu who was kneeling on the ground.

"You know how hard I've gone to get you in! You're the only one in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Tiwei Mansion! ”

Yu Jinyuan walked back and forth in the living room, he had just come back from Lingcheng, and he heard the servant say that Jiang Lu had actually returned, and after knowing what was going on, it was like a bolt from the blue, and the secret pile was found out to be small, but in case the Tiwei Mansion used this matter as a threat to persecute the Prime Minister's Mansion a day later, then his own sin would be great.

After all, the matter of planting the secret pile was Yu Jinyuan's own initiative, he didn't ask anyone, and Liang Xiang didn't know about it in advance, if he really hurt Liang Xiang because of this clever idea, then his career would be ruined.

"You, let me go back to my house, reflect on it, I am not allowed to come back to report on my work without my order, do you hear?" Yu Jinyuan scolded loudly.

"Whoa."

"Get out!" Yu Jinyuan waved his sleeves and went to the inner hall.

Jiang Lu was so frightened that he almost leaked urine, and when he saw that he could actually leave, of course, he ran out of the Yu Mansion without saying a word.

In the inner hall of the Yu Mansion, a man with a knife dressed as a guard helped Yu Jinyuan put on his coat again, and then asked, "My lord, are you really not going to Yangyi Hall?" ”

Yu Jinyuan said with a blushing face: "I don't have time to pay attention to it now, what I have to do now is to tell Liang Xiang in advance before he finds out that the secret pile is arrested, otherwise, I will die even worse in the future!" ”

"Yunsheng, you can tell me about the situation just now."

As soon as Lu Yunsheng returned to Tiwei Mansion, Xiao Chongguang pulled him to the inner hall and asked him about his assassination.

He had also seen the fireworks emitted by the cigarette tube before, and after the messages sent by the guards to each other, he knew in advance that Lu Yunsheng was attacked, and it was very likely to be related to Liu Yuanzhen's case, so he couldn't wait to know the details.

"Brother Xiao, you can at least let me drink saliva." Lu Yunsheng said helplessly.

"Don't worry, Xiao Tao has already gone to help you prepare tea," Xiao Chongguang patted Yunsheng's shoulder and said, "Take advantage of this time, you can talk about it first." ”

Lu Yunsheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then told the assassination story completely.

Xiao Chongguang pondered for a moment and then said: "This is a premeditated assassination, and besides, the other party is a person who can grasp your whereabouts, not only that, but also carefully selected the assassin, time and place. ”

When Lu Yunsheng heard him say this, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and asked, "Who does Brother Xiao think it will be?" You know where I am today. ”

Xiao Chongguang shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue now, by the way, you met with that Chunji girl today, but what did you find out?" ”

Lu Yunsheng said: "Listening to her description, He Qian did go in and out of Cuiting Zhai, because his dress was different from other customers, so it was impressive, and there were many times, but the identity of the participants was not yet known, because the other party was always wearing a black cloak and could not be recognized." ”

"Well," Xiao Chongguang spread his hands, "It's not easy for this girl to remember this, and I don't expect to really find out any important news, mainly to let you relax." At the end, Xiao Chongguang smiled meaningfully.

"Are you giving me a short-term vacation?" Lu Yunsheng also smiled.

"However, we can't relax for a moment after today." Xiao Chongguang suddenly became serious.

Lu Yunsheng said: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Your assassination is a sign, now I have a hunch," Xiao Chongguang looked at the general map of the Imperial Capital Fang City hanging on the right side of the inner hall, "In the future, those enemies lurking in the darkness will inevitably have a bigger operation in the Imperial Capital, and we must be prepared for battle at any time." ”
