Chapter 475: Female Assassin
Takahashi Kumiko carefully observed for a long time, and felt that the temperament and demeanor of the people on the stage did not match the information they obtained, and she judged that this Li You was fake, and she was here to lure herself into the bait.
She immediately decided to adopt the second plan they had studied, with Ayumi Kawasaki, Arai and Maeda continuing the on-site assassination operation to disrupt the sight of the Tang Dynasty people and cover her to go to the Governor's Mansion to assassinate the real Tang Dynasty Prince Li You.
Just as the pledge meeting continued, Kumiko Takahashi came to the compound of the Governor's Mansion. The Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion are two courtyards separated by a wall in a large courtyard, and the Governor's Mansion is heavily guarded, but the Assassin's Mansion is relatively lax.
Takahashi Kumiko was dressed as a male servant at this time, she came to the back of a big tree outside the courtyard wall of the Thorn Mansion, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she threw out the brocade rope in her hand and put it on the wall, and went up to the two-zhang high wall in three or two clicks. The canopy of the tree shaded the wall, and she hid in it to observe it carefully, then jumped off the wall and landed on the soft grass.
She saw some flower trays in a flower bed, so she picked one up and walked generously towards the wall of the Governor's Palace.
There were people walking around in the Assassin's Mansion, but no one paid attention to an ordinary handyman who was working with a flower pot, and soon she came to the bottom of the wall of the Governor's Mansion, she hid under the flowers at the base of the wall, took out the topographical map of the Governor's Mansion, looked at it carefully, and then looked around, found nothing unusual, and flew up to the wall of the Governor's Mansion.
The Governor's Mansion was heavily guarded, but it was only facing the outside, and the inside was much lax. Kumiko Takahashi repeated her old trick, picked up a bucket from the ground, and walked generously through the garden towards the council hall of the Governor's Palace, where the officials used to work in the rooms on either side of the council hall. The office of the governor of Dengzhou, which is now Li You, is also upstairs in the council hall.
There are now two sets of teams in the Dengzhou Governor's Mansion, half of them are people from the original Dengzhou Governor's Mansion, and half of them are people brought by Li You, and they are not familiar with each other. Therefore, although some people saw that Takahashi Kumiko was a little eye-catching, she did not attract attention, and she soon came to the side of the council hall into the house, which was where the kitchen, pantry, and other miscellaneous servants entered and exited.
Kumiko Takahashi observed the movement on the other side of the council hall as she walked, and found that it was heavily guarded, with officers and soldiers on all sides, and there were six guards standing at the entrance of the gate. It was very difficult to get into the building of the council hall without being detected.
At this time, it had been almost an hour since she left the school review room, and the time was pressing, and she was secretly anxious.
At this moment, she saw a female soldier carrying a teapot coming out of the council hall and walking towards the pantry. Kumiko Takahashi's eyes lit up, and she walked towards the pantry with a bucket of water.
Entering the pantry, Takahashi Kumiko saw a male servant pouring boiling water into the teapot for the female soldier, and she was talking to the female soldier, but the female soldier ignored him, just urged him to hurry up. At this time, the servant's attention was all on the female soldier, and he didn't care about Kumiko Takahashi who walked behind him.
Kumiko Takahashi immediately made a decision, and saw the male servant put down the copper kettle in his hand, and was about to turn around, when she suddenly shot out and punched him in the temple, and the servant's eyes went black and he fainted.
The female soldier was taken aback, and was about to scream when Kumiko Takahashi reached out and covered her mouth. She pointed a dagger at the female soldier's neck and whispered, "If I ask you, you have to answer honestly, and if you dare to shout, I will cut your neck." Do you understand? ”
The female soldier nodded, indicating that she understood.
Kumiko Takahashi still pointed a dagger at the throat of the female soldier and let go of her mouth. Takahashi Kumiko asked, "In which room is King Qi Li You in?" The female soldier looked at the bright blade in front of her, and her legs went weak in fright. "Enter the door," she said, "and go up the stairs, in the third room to the left of the staircase." ”
Takahashi Kumiko said: "Nonsense, I asked someone just now, and I wasn't in that room at all, you dare to lie to me, I want your life." He raised his dagger as he spoke.
The female soldier was frightened, and she cried and said, "Don't kill me, what I said is true." ”
Kumiko Takahashi is actually lying to her to see if what she said is true. Seeing her frightened expression at this moment, it was certain that her words were true. She reversed the dagger and struck the female soldier the head, knocking her unconscious.
Kumiko Takahashi stuffed the female soldiers and servants into an empty water tank, closed the lid, and then put on the military uniform that she had changed from the female soldiers, and walked towards the door of the council hall.
Kumiko Takahashi walked to the door of the council hall very calmly, and walked inside with her head slightly bowed. The female soldiers came out to fetch water, and they had to go in and out many times a day, and the guards at the gate turned a blind eye, and no one paid attention to Takahashi Kumiko's actions.
Kumiko Takahashi entered the gate and walked towards the second floor, meeting several officers walking by on the way, but still no one paid attention to her passing.
Ascending the stairs, Kumiko Takahashi walked towards the third room, and she saw the door of the first room open, and the voice of a woman could be heard inside. Kumiko Takahashi didn't squint and kept walking forward.
Just as she passed by the room with the door open, someone said, "Xiuling, why are you going?" "Someone obviously mistook her for the female soldier who fetched water.
Takahashi Kumiko said in her mouth: "I'll go and bring tea to His Highness." "Keep walking.
It was the magpie who was talking in the room, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Because Xiuling went out just to turn on the water, but the tea leaves were in the magpie's house. That day, when Magpie and White Tiger were acting in the wine shop, I also secretly observed Kumiko Takahashi and had a deep impression of her figure.
When Takahashi Kumiko just passed by, although the magpie didn't see it clearly, but there was a sense of déjà vu, the biggest thing today was to deal with Takahashi Kumiko, Xiuling's abnormal behavior immediately aroused the magpie's vigilance. She hurriedly walked out the door and shouted at Kumiko Takahashi's back, "You stop." ”
Kumiko Takahashi knew that her whereabouts were exposed, she didn't look back, threw away the teapot in her hand, took three steps and two steps, came to the room where Li You was, pushed open the door, and rushed in.
When the magpie saw this scene, he completely understood. She screamed, "Someone, there are assassins, protect the prince." ”
Li You's room was a suite, and there was a guard on duty outside at all times. In the room, Li You was chatting with Zhang Guigui, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open suddenly, and then he heard a scream and the shouting of a magpie, and the two stood up in surprise.
At this moment, the door of their room was kicked open, and Kumiko Takahashi rushed in with a dagger in her hand. 8)
