Chapter 262: The Assassins Gather

Jixian County, inside the post house.

Zhao Jia gently sipped the wine in the glass, looked at Jiang Qu who was sitting opposite, and asked, "What is Xiangguo doing here?" ”

Jiang Qu showed hesitation, and after pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask the prince to return to Zhao as soon as possible!" ”

During this time, Jiangqu obviously felt that Jixian County was surging, even if Jiangqu had no way to command the city guards, he also knew that more and more Qin people were pouring into Yandu.

Now that King Yan has an ambiguous attitude, Jiang Qu can't help but worry about Zhao Jia's life.

When Zhao Jia heard this, his right hand holding the wine glass froze in place, and asked, "What news did Xiangguo find?" ”

Jiang Qu gritted his teeth and said: "Don't hide it from Gongzi, during this time, a large number of Qin people have poured into Yandu, and with the wisdom of Gongzi, it must not be difficult to guess the intentions of those Qin people." ”

"Originally, for the safety of my son, I wanted to send the city guards to temporarily expel the Qin people from Yandu, but because of the overlord's place, I offended the king, so that the king handed over the defense of Jixian County to Cai Niao to take over."

Speaking of this, Jiang Qu immediately fell silent.

He believed that with Zhao Jia's wisdom, he had already guessed the meaning of his words.

Sure enough, Zhao Jia's pupils shrank when he heard this, and then he got up and bowed: "Xiangguo's life-saving grace, Jia will never dare to forget, if there is a chance, he will be rewarded!" ”

Jiang Qu waved his hand and said, "For today's plan, it is better for the son to leave Jixian first." ”

Zhao Jia pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Has King Yan decided to send troops to attack the land of Dukang?" ”

In the courtyard, Zhao Jia stood with his hands in his hands.

Since sending Jiangqu away, Zhao Jia has been standing here for a long time, and the border city has always stood around with his sword.

"Border City, inform everyone, prepare to leave Yan Kingdom!"

The change in the situation, while expected, is also extending in an uncontrollable direction.

Zhao Jia used himself as bait this time, it can be said that he is taking great risks, if he can't return to Zhao safely, even if the ultimate goal is achieved, what can he do?

Hearing this, the border city frowned and said: "Staying in the post house, with the Yan army guarding outside, even if there are many assassins in the Qin State, there is no need to be afraid." ”

"Leaving Jixian in a hurry, wouldn't it create an opportunity for the assassins of the Qin State?"

According to the idea of the border city, even if King Yan has already killed Zhao Jia, he will definitely not do it himself, and he will try his best to protect Zhao Jia on the surface.

Therefore, Zhao Jia and others stayed in the post house, but it was the safest.

Zhao Jia shook his head: "The only one who can save us is ourselves, if we pin our hopes on Yan Jun, it is tantamount to asking for our own death." ”

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as Zhao Jia's words fell, a guard trotted in and reported loudly: "Yan has attacked the land of the governor with the strength of the whole country, and the Yan army outside the post house has been all transferred!" ”

Hearing this, Bian Cheng's face changed slightly, and he said secretly: "I see! ”

Originally, in the eyes of the border city, as long as the Yan army was stationed outside the post house, Zhao Jia naturally did not worry about the attack of the Qin people.

But now, due to the attack on the land of Dukang, the Yan State has transferred all the troops guarding outside the post house, which is equivalent to creating an opportunity for the Qin assassins in disguise.

Even if Zhao Jia was assassinated in the post house in the end, Yan Guo also had enough reasons to shirk the responsibility.

Now, if you continue to pin your hopes on Yan Ren, it will really be as Zhao Jia said.

Zhao Jia has always acted decisively.

Upon learning the news that Yan State had attacked the land of Du Kang, Zhao Jia immediately bid farewell to King Yan and rushed back to Zhao overnight after leaving Jixian County.

Zhao Jia's actions also really disrupted the deployment of the Qin people.

It's just that this time Qin and Yan secretly colluded, and in order to get rid of Zhao Jia, the Qin State even mobilized unimaginable power, how could Zhao Jia leave easily?

Zhao Jia had just left Jixian County for more than 20 miles, and he encountered the first wave of assassinations of more than 30 people.

These assassins are all Kansai swordsmen, all of whom are strong in martial arts and are not afraid of death, plus they have already set them in ambush, and they took Zhao Jia and the others by surprise by relying on their geographical advantages.

Although Zhao Jia's guards eventually wiped out all these assassins, they also suffered more than ten casualties.

It seems that Zhao Jia's side suffered fewer casualties than the Qin State assassins, but don't forget that these people who can follow Zhao Jia's left and right are all warriors in the army who can be ten in the army, and they can defeat enemies several times their own when they form a battle formation.

But now, in the face of more than 30 Kansai assassins, more than 10 people have been lost, which shows the horror of the other party.

Zhao Jia listened to the casualty report brought by the border city, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

"Bury the body on the spot and continue west!"

Zhao Jia could feel that these assassins were just forwards who had come to harass him and others, and even more terrifying opponents had not yet appeared.

More than eighty miles west of Jixian County, due to the night, coupled with the rapid march caused by the lack of people and horses, Zhao Jia had to temporarily enter the calendar room for repairs.

Since Yan Guo was forced to exchange Wuyang to Zhao State, Limu, a small city built according to water control, has become the western gateway of Jixian County.

Zhao Jia identified himself and naturally received a warm reception from the guards of the previous room.

The next day, Zhao Jia said to the guards of the calendar room: "We have just left Jixian County for twenty miles, we were attacked by assassins, more than ten casualties, this is the territory of Yan Kingdom, but I don't want to have an assassin flood, and I hope that the general can send troops to accompany him and protect Benjun to return to Zhao State." ”

The general of the calendar room showed embarrassment, and said: "In order to recapture the land of the governor, the king has recruited troops from all over the country, and most of the defenders of the calendar room have also been transferred. ”

"If Childe is worried about the assassin attack, you might as well stay in the calendar room for a few more days, although there are not many defenders here, but there are city walls as a support, I think I can protect Childe well."

The refusal of the guards of the calendar room was expected by Zhao Jia, but he had his own plans.

"In that case, then it will bother the general."

Staying in the calendar room looks like a turtle in an urn, which will allow the assassins to catch up with them, but don't forget, since Zhao Jia dares to risk his life, how can he not be prepared?

Jixian County is the capital of Yan, and the Zhao people are naturally not good at sneaking in, but the calendar room is different.

For the next three days, the entire city was under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter, lest the Assassins be infiltrated.

At this time, the Assassins had already gathered outside the city.

In a dense forest in the southwest, Wang Fugui, Gao Yuanli, and Jing Ke took more than 30 heroes of the Yan Kingdom, all with dignified expressions on their faces.

"This situation is too complicated, I'm afraid it's not just the Qin people who want to take Gongzi Jia's life!"

It turned out that Gao Yanli found out that in addition to the Qin people who were in ambush outside Lishu City, there were actually several groups of unidentified swordsmen.

It is not known what the intentions of these people are, and it is very likely that some people want to take advantage of the fire to rob and take the opportunity to assassinate Zhao Jia.

Jing Ke said in a deep voice: "The forces outside the city are too mixed, and before you find out whether it is hostile or not, you must not make a random move, so as not to accidentally injure your allies." ”

At the same time, there were already hundreds of black-clothed people in ambush on the road that the West of the Calendar Room must pass.

The leader said with a solemn face: "If it is only three hundred people led by Zhao Jia, it is not difficult to assassinate them, but now that there is an accident, we should be cautious!" ”

"Remember, as long as you assassinate the Zhao family, you are all our allies!"
