Chapter 658: Assassination on a Rainy Night (Part II)

An abrupt sword stabbed at Zhang Xuansu's back!

Silent, the sword light is like lightning, and the sword momentum is like thunder. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The tip of the sword pointed directly at the big point of the central life gate behind him, and it was obvious that he had a posture of wanting people's lives.

Zhang Xuansu was unconscious, holding the oil umbrella and stepping on broken steps, his feet carefully avoiding a puddle of stagnant water on the ground, but the tip of the sword behind him was getting closer and closer to him.

There was a sudden explosion in the sky, lightning pierced the sky, and the huge movement caused the tip of the sword to pause for a moment, and then continued to stab forward.

Clang!

With a crisp metal and iron colliding, the two assassins behind Zhang Xuansu were stunned.

Another sword that came out of nowhere, the tip of the sword that was bright happened to point at the blade at this moment, and the sword that was like lightning deflected the direction, and the killing intent that filled the heaven and earth dissipated invisibly.

Zhang Xuansu also heard the movement at this time, turned around suddenly, and found two groups of people standing behind him with swords, one of them was two people, and the other group had four, both groups of people were dressed in black and masked, raising their swords to each other and confronting each other from afar.

Zhang Xuansu finally realized that something was wrong at this time, thinking of the sound of gold and iron colliding close behind him just now, he immediately understood, pointed to the two groups of people and said angrily: "What a thief, dare to assassinate the court officials, aren't you afraid of the Zhu clan!" ”

The two groups ignored him, each nervous at this time, and the assassin covered his face and showed only a pair of eyes, his eyes solemn and frightened, and pointed his sword at each other, as if he was shocked why another group of people suddenly appeared.

The other party was much calmer, the four of them were masked, their eyes were as calm as water, two of them were Zheng Xiaolou and Fang Lao Wu, and the other two were carefully selected from the Li family's trilogy.

The two sides were motionless like this, confronting each other, Zhang Xuansu was just a scholar, but he couldn't care so much, seeing that the two groups ignored him, he couldn't help but become more and more angry, and simply opened his throat and shouted.

"Someone! Where is the official Wuhou? There are assassinations here......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xuansu only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then fell softly on the ground full of stagnant water, and it was Zheng Xiaolou who knocked him out.

"Noise!" Zheng Xiaolou scolded fiercely in a thick voice.

The whole world was quiet, and the two assassins looked more and more nervous, and one of them also deliberately said in a thick voice, "Who are you waiting for?" Don't you want to kill us if you dare to spoil our big things? ”

Zheng Xiaolou said coldly: "What you want to kill is exactly what we want to save." ”

The two assassins glanced at each other and exchanged glances, and suddenly one of them gave a whistle, and a sharp whistle pierced the rainy sky, and soon, from the alley near the square gate, a dozen black-clothed and masked people emerged, quickly and silently surrounding Zheng Xiaolou and the others.

Zheng Xiaolou and the others were stunned and felt very surprised, but they assassinated a powerless courtier, and actually dispatched more than ten people, obviously they were determined to get rid of Zhang Xuansu.

However, Zheng Xiaolou and the others were fearless, and before the assassins could surround them, the four of them suddenly stood up and suddenly attacked.

A long sword and three horizontal knives stabbed from four different directions, and the assassins stopped, raised their swords to block, and a vicious battle began.

Zheng Xiaolou's force is the strongest, but the pressure is also the greatest, the other party seems to have seen the details of the four people, and almost half of the people are divided to deal with Zheng Xiaolou alone, and Zheng Xiaolou In addition to attacking and defending, Zheng Xiaolou also has to be distracted to take care of Zhang Xuansu who is lying on the ground, so that he will not be hacked by the enemy.

The assassins' skills are almost all good, and they are all fierce and fierce battle array techniques, obviously the elite selected from the army, Zheng Xiaolou's side In addition to him, Fang Lao Wu and the others are also battle array tricks, the two groups of men and horses are like two armies facing each other, all of them are fighting fast and leaving no effort to fight to the death.

There are five people who are against Zheng Xiaolou, these five people are obviously masters, their bodies are vigorous and flexible, and they must point to the key points, Zheng Xiaolou dodges left and right, but the other party is not ambiguous, and soon, Zheng Xiaolou was cut a sword under his right ribs, and then his back was also split with a foot-long hole.

The pressure on the three of Fang Lao Wu's side was relatively light, and seeing that Zheng Xiaolou couldn't bear it, he immediately made a decision and whistled.

As soon as the whistle fell, more than a dozen people quickly ran out of the house in the dark alley, and the decision to call reinforcements was originally on Zheng Xiaolou, but Zheng Xiaolou's self-esteem was too strong, and his temperament was stubborn, and he refused to call reinforcements even if he was injured, so Fang Lao Wu simply helped him make the decision.

With the addition of more than a dozen Li family tribes, the assassins were suddenly shocked, and their hearts sank suddenly, they knew that it would not be easy to assassinate Zhang Xuansu tonight, the other party was obviously prepared, and his own actions had already leaked out, otherwise the other party would not have been so well prepared, with a posture of inviting you into the urn.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the opponent's moves, Zheng Xiaolou stabbed out a sword and hit an assassin in the chest, and the assassin let out a muffled snort and fell to the ground and died.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other assassins decisively decided to retreat, and Zheng Xiaolou and others followed closely and swept away.

The assassins fled, but the first assassin stayed at the end, buying time for the escape of his accomplices, but Zheng Xiaolou ignored him, and after a few false moves with him, his figure suddenly flashed, swept past the assassin, and went straight to the fleeing assassins, after a few jumps, a lone assassin was finally slashed by Zheng Xiaolou's leg, and fell to the ground with a miserable howl.

Zheng Xiaolou stepped forward a few steps, first stunted him with a palm, then broke his mouth, groped between the teeth in his mouth with his fingers, and quickly found a small piece of poison embedded in his teeth, and after throwing it away, he waved his hand to the back: "Tied!" ”

Seeing that he was powerless, the Assassin at the head sighed and rose from the ground and fled.

The Li family's subordinates carried Zhang Xuansu on their backs, but Fang Lao Wu stepped forward slowly, glanced at the unlucky assassin, and said with a smile: "What's the use of catching a little shrimp and crab, why don't you catch that one?" ”

Zheng Xiaolou wiped the blood on the sword, and said lightly: "The leader is usually a dead man, even if he catches the living one, he can't dig anything out of him, if this kind of small shrimp and crab removes the poison in his mouth to find death, it will be easy to pry his mouth open, Fifth Uncle, you are an expert at the enemy in the battle formation, but this interrogation, you are not as good as me." ”

Fang Lao Wu was not angry, he nodded honestly and smiled: "Not bad, yes, learn and live to be old, except for this stupid style, I will live in vain all my life......"

The short confrontation is a long story, but in fact, there are only two incense sticks to decide the victory, but after all, there is still a movement, the sound of the fight alarmed the Fang officials of Chongyi Fang, when the Li family cleaned up the battlefield, the Fang officials had already hidden in the house and rang the gong, and there was a lot of noise inside and outside the Fang Gate for a while.

Zheng Xiaolou and Fang Lao Wu glanced at each other, and very tacitly put away their weapons and evacuated, in the dense rain and fog, everyone carried Zhang Xuansu and the captured assassin on their backs, and their figures disappeared in the continuous autumn rain.

***********************************************************

East Palace.

In the dark corner of the garden in the backyard of the main hall, ten assassins knelt in unison, all with wounds, kneeling in front of Li Chengqian to plead guilty.

Li Chengqian's face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear and panic.

He didn't expect that the operation to get rid of an enemy would fail, not only did no one die, but one of his own side died and one was captured alive, which can be described as a halberd and a sinking sand.

"Twelve people, killing a powerless courtier, actually failed, huh?" Li Chengqian's tone was cold and his face was gloomy.

The assassin led by Li Chengqian's personal guard Liu Hui, Liu Hui fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness spares your life, the villain was originally ambushed in front of Chongyi Fang according to the predetermined plan, but as soon as the villain made a move, he was intercepted horizontally, and the other party also had a dozen people, all of whom were dressed in black and masked, and they didn't know their appearance, but the first two were quite skilled, and most of them were the tricks of the battle array fighting skills, they must have had the experience of being a government soldier, and they were all masters, and the gang rescued Zhang Xuansu when they made a move, and we fought hard for a long time, and we couldn't win, Worried about alarming the Fang official Wuhou and the forbidden army patrolling the city, the villain had to decide to evacuate......"

Li Chengqian's pupils narrowed suddenly like the tip of a needle: "Who is this sudden popping up?" Can you see that? ”

Liu Hui shook his head: "I can't see it, I only know that it should be from the government soldiers, and he must have been in the battle array, Your Highness, the villain is strange, it is obviously a secret operation, why does the other party seem to know our details, and come out at the right time to stop us when we are about to kill Zhang Xuansu, which means that they have set up a trap in place waiting for us to drill, not so much that we ambushed Zhang Xuansu, but that they ambushed us, Your Highness, I am afraid that this matter has been leaked before the action......"

Li Chengqian said angrily: "The face-to-face teaching is in this garden at the right time, there are only you and me, who else can leak out?" Liu Hui, did you say that you knew it with outsiders after pouring a few mouthfuls of yellow soup? ”

Liu Hui trembled with fright, kowtowed to the ground and said: "The villain dares to guarantee the lives of the whole family, the villain has never mentioned a word to outsiders in this matter, and since His Royal Highness's instructions, the villain has never drunk a sip of wine." Your Highness knows that the person who leaked the secret is by no means a villain! ”

Li Chengqian's eyes were red, and he said viciously: "Who else can there be?" Who else dares to do something bad about Lonely! ”

The ten Assassins fell to the ground and hung their heads, not daring to squeak.

After a long time, Li Chengqian sighed: "Success or failure has its own destiny, no wonder you, Liu Hui, you have worked hard, go down and rest...... Remember, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone, or you will be killed, and you will not be able to protect yourself. ”

Liu Hui and the others hurriedly responded, got up in twos and threes, saluted and left.

Li Chengqian was still standing in the garden in a daze, his expression uncertain.

There was a trembling sound from the branches and leaves behind him, and Li Chengqian seemed to know who was behind him, so he didn't look back and said: "Go, kill all these ten people, and leave no one behind." ”

A deep voice came from behind him: "Yes." ”

"Also, there was news immediately that Zhang Xuansu, a subordinate of the East Palace, was assassinated, and said to the outside world that someone had murdered a subordinate official of the East Palace and wanted to mistreat the prince, so he immediately prepared a carriage and horse gifts to Zhang Xuansu's mansion to comfort him on my behalf, and sent the guards of the East Palace to search for the whereabouts of the assassin everywhere and make a appearance."

"Yes."

The voice behind him had disappeared, and Li Chengqian was standing alone in the garden, his body couldn't help but tremble violently.

He didn't know whether he could hide from the sky and the sea, but at this time, he also obviously felt that there seemed to be an invisible net that was falling on the top of his head, and there was no escape. (To be continued.) )
