Chapter 317: Assassination

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Identity can be faked, appearance can be faked, but it is difficult to fake the temperament of people.

At this time, Liu Xiu and the others were all sallow (waxed), with stubble (sticky) on their faces, their appearance was not good, their clothes were even worse, and they also wore patches.

However, observing Liu Xiu's speech and demeanor is to give people a sense of disobedience that is as gentle as jade.

The swaggering girl was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and her face became not very good-looking. She stared at a house slave stunned, which was a great shame for her. She reprimanded in a deep voice, "Don't you have a mouth under your nose?" If you don't know the way, you still can't ask for directions? A house slave is a house slave, a bunch of useless waste! With that, she rolled her eyes and turned back to look at the one whose lower body was already soaked

The girl beckoned, called her to her approach, and said with a smile: "Miss He, these house slaves can't find the latrines, why don't you lead you there!" After all, you're all about the same! ”

As she spoke, several of the girls around her giggled.

The girl known as Miss He, her originally pale little face turned red, and her small hands shrunk in her sleeves clenched into fists.

Although it is not clear what their specific identities are and what the relationship is between them, Liu Xiu can see that the arrogant young lady is in a group with several other young ladies, and they are bullying this Miss He.

Liu Xiu didn't want to get involved in the dispute in the backyard, he hurriedly said: "This young lady is joking, we are just house slaves, how can we let this young lady lead the way for us!" ”

The arrogant girl snorted and laughed, and said, "You are a house slave, she is the daughter of the market, isn't your identity appropriate?" ”

Hearing this, several girls around her giggled again, and Miss He's face turned even redder.

Liu Xiu probably understood what was going on now.

In the city, the bazaar where business was done was often referred to as the market, and for a long time in Chinese history, the market was another name for merchants.

During the Han Dynasty, the status of merchants was already very low, although they were rich, they could not be on the stage, and they were also looked down upon by the scholar class.

Although the scholar class also did business and owned all kinds of shops, the scholars themselves did not run these businesses themselves, and usually handed them over to the domestic slaves to take care of, and the scholars themselves only collected money.

Obviously, this high-spirited girl and her companions around her are the daughters of the scholars, and this Miss He is the daughter of a merchant.

This time Li Hun got married, they came with their families to congratulate them, and when they got together, the daughters of the scholars joined forces and made things difficult and even humiliated the daughters of the merchants.

Liu Xiu was reluctant to participate in the backyard affairs, but seeing that Miss He was shivering and shaking, he sighed secretly and said, "In this way, there is Miss He." ”

When the arrogant girl heard this, she laughed out loud, and nodded at Liu Xiu, as if she was praising him, you are quite good!

Miss He lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Please come with me!" As she spoke, she walked briskly to the arch of the garden.

"I'm willing to lead the way for the house slaves, I really deserve to be the daughter of the market!"

"That's it! The lowly should be with the lowly people, why sit with us! ”

Even after walking out of the back garden, Liu Xiu could still hear the laughter coming from behind him.

Liu Xiu shook his head secretly, and after walking a distance, he stopped and said, "Miss He! ”

Miss He slowly stopped and looked back at him in bewilderment.

Liu Xiu smiled at her, pointed to the side door next to her, and said, "It's still cold now, Miss He's shoes and socks look soaked, and you should be able to find your carriage from here." ”

Miss He looked at Liu Xiu in surprise and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She thought that Liu Xiu agreed to let her lead the way, but she also looked down on herself, the daughter of a businessman, but she didn't expect that he was here to help her out of the siege.

"I ......"

"Miss He, we can find the latrine ourselves, so we don't have to worry about Miss He leading the way. Miss He, go change your clothes, I'll say goodbye! ”

As he spoke, Liu Xiu arched his hand to Miss He, and walked to the front yard with Long Yuan and the others.

Looking at the back of Liu Xiu and the others leaving, Miss He wanted to ask him what his name was, but she didn't call out after all, and after a while, she turned around and walked towards the side door.

Liu Xiu and the four of them turned back to the front yard and stood in the courtyard, Liu Xiu looked into the lobby, and Wang Xing, who was sitting in it at this time, looked out, and the eyes of the two met together, and they immediately understood.

Wang Xing smiled at Li Wen and said: "Lord Li, this time I also brought a small half of the Shu brocade, when I was in the county town, in order to get this piece of Shu brocade, but it took a lot of twists and turns!" ”

Nishiki, gold also! Through the word brocade, the value of brocade can already be reflected. An inch of brocade, an inch of gold, at the time, this was not too much. And the best in the brocade is none other than Shu brocade.

The manufacturing process of Shu brocade is complex, difficult, and cumbersome, the annual output is very small, through a production, it is directly transported to Chang'an, can use Shu brocade, is not the royal family, or the prince minister.

At this time, hearing that Wang Xing also sent a piece of Shu brocade, Li Wen and Jia Xuan were shocked, the former was surprised: "...... in the gift list" He remembered that there was no Shu brocade in the gift list sent by Wang Xing.

Wang Xing smiled: "This piece of Shu brocade, I didn't write it in the gift list, Lord Li, would you like to come out and have a look?" ”

"Good, good, good!" To be honest, Li Wen is already very rich and has a lot of money, but he really hasn't gotten Shu brocade, and he hasn't even seen it. Wang Xing actually sent Shu brocade this time, and he was overjoyed.

Li Wenxing hurriedly followed Wang Xing out of the lobby, Jia Xuan was also curious and envious, and then followed.

Wang Xing walked to his gift box and pulled out a small piece of brocade from the silk and satin.

This brocade, the background is blue, there are colorful lines on it, these lines constitute mountain patterns, cloud patterns, as well as Rui beasts, auspicious texts and so on. Li Wen lowered his head and carefully unfolded the brocade little by little, and the lines on it were not the same, whether it was a mountain pattern, a cloud pattern, a rui beast, or an auspicious text, they were all lifelike, with different postures, exquisite, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Li Wen and Jia Xuan were fascinated, and I don't know how long it took, Li Wenfang couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that this is Shu Jin, and it really lives up to its name......"

Just when he was full of emotion, Long Yuan, who was standing next to the gift box, suddenly shook his right arm, and a dagger fell out of the cuff, his palm grabbed the handle of the knife, aimed at Li Wen's chest, and stabbed it.

It was so fast that Li Wen didn't react at all, but at this moment, a big man standing behind Li Wen suddenly shouted: "You dare? As he spoke, he shot like lightning, grabbed Li Wen's collar and pulled it back violently.

Sand!

Long Yuan's dagger pierced Shu Jin, and the tip of the knife pierced the clothes on Li Wen's chest, and it had already pierced into the flesh, but as the big man pulled, his knife could not penetrate deep again, and it did not pierce Li Wen's heart.

Li Wen was shocked, opened his mouth wide, and was about to scream, when Liu Xiu, who was beside Long Yuan, suddenly flicked his arm, and a crossbow arrow flew out, penetrating Shu Jin and hitting Li Wen's throat.

Burst! With this arrow, half of the arrow body did not enter Li Wen's throat, leaving only half of the arrow outside. Li Wen's eyes were wide open, his mouth was still wide open, and his body was already leaning back straight.

The big man standing behind him hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him, looked at it, and saw the half-cut crossbow arrow on Li Wen's throat, his eyes were red, and he shouted: "Arrest the assassin!" ”

While speaking, he put down Li Wen, drew his sword, and rushed straight towards Long Yuan.

He could pull Li Wen to dodge Long Yuan's fatal knife, but he was really powerless to pull Li Wen and dodge Liu Xiu's fatal arrow. The big man stared at the bloodshot eyes, and fought with Long Yuan with his sword.

Jia Xuan reacted, screamed strangely, and turned around to run out.

Hearing two swishing sounds, two figures rushed towards him, and at the same time, two cold lights appeared in the air. Jia Xuan is different from Li Wen, after all, he is a county lieutenant, a military general, and he also has some martial arts.

Realizing that it was not good, he ran out and rolled sideways. Sand, sand! The two daggers that Long Zhun and Long Xiao stabbed over cut two gaps in his exaggerated sleeves.

"There's an assassin over hereβ€”" Jia Xuan let out a hoarse roar.

His shouts were so loud that even the doormen standing outside the gate could hear them. Li Wen and Jia Xuan brought a lot of doormen, but many of them were not good to bring into the mansion, and the two left most of the doormen outside the mansion.

Hearing the shouts in the mansion, the doormen of the two exclaimed one after another: "Not good! As they spoke, they rushed to the door.

However, the first three people to climb the steps suddenly felt a flower in front of them, and they didn't even see what was going on, and their necks had been cut open by a sharp blade.

The three doormen staggered back with their hands around their necks, scarlet blood gurgling out between their fingers. In the blink of an eye, the three of them fell to the ground one after another, and they were all gone.

The rest of the doormen were shocked, and when they looked up, they saw three young men standing in front of the mansion, each holding a dagger in their hands.

The crowd reacted, and there was no need to ask, all three of them were also fellow Assassins. The people shouted and shouted, and each of them rushed towards the three young men.

Don't look at the three young men who use daggers, but their body skills are flexible, and their martial arts are also exquisite, under the joint attack of so many of them, they simply blocked the door of the mansion and were not forced to retreat by the other party.

Inside the Lee House, front yard.

It's a mess now. Long Yuan and Li Wen's disciples fought together, and Liu Xiu took the opportunity to catch up with Jia Xuan, pulled out a dagger from his cuff, and stabbed him in the back of the heart.

Without waiting for Jia Xuan to react, suddenly, he heard an angry roar, and a burly strong man directly hit Liu Xiu's body sideways.

Boom! Liu Xiu's body was knocked out by a strong man, and his dagger naturally failed to stab Jia Xuan.

Liu Xiu was lying on the ground, her body was clumped, and she looked like she had been hit lightly.

The stout man rushed towards Liu Xiu, approached him, grabbed his belt with one hand, grabbed the collar of his jacket with the other, and lifted Liu Xiu from the ground above his head.

The strong man's knees were raised, and he made a gesture to press Liu Xiu down and break his body. However, Liu Xiu, who seemed to have no power to move, suddenly hugged the strong man's neck.

At the same time as the other party pressed him down, by the pull of his arm, the strong man fell down with his head down, and his fatal blow to Liu Xiu was also resolved and invisible by Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu, who fell on him, stabbed him with a knife. The strong man reacted quickly, holding Liu Xiu's wrist holding the knife, staring at Liu Xiu with big eyes, the tip of the dagger was hanging above his chest, and the distance between them was less than an inch.
