Chapter 450: Mission Failure

An arrow hit the sword-wielding man, and Adou's body also fell to the ground at this moment, jumping down from a height of several meters, which would not have caused any damage to Adou. But because he only cared about killing the enemy before, he couldn't take care of his posture when he landed.

"Bang!"

After a muffled sound, Adou directly smashed a table.

With the shouts in the main hall and the sound of Adou falling to the ground, the guards outside the hall gate also rushed in with spears in hand at this moment.

Adou felt a slight numbness in his back, and then he lost consciousness. Without bothering to check the injury, he turned over and stood up, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air behind him, and he fell to the ground and rolled again, avoiding the two spears stabbed behind him.

The guards who rushed into the hall saw that Adou had easily escaped, and immediately rushed up again, thinking about stabbing Adou to death on the spot. However, Adou still had two brushes, and after seeing him take advantage of the situation to roll to avoid danger, he suddenly jumped high from the ground, and the dagger in his hand flashed away in mid-air, and the target was Li Zicheng, who was protected behind him.

"Ding!"

The man who was protecting Li Zicheng was obviously extraordinary, and after swinging the knife, Adou's dagger was directly knocked away, failing to cause any damage to Li Zicheng.

Adou immediately realized that something was wrong, and it seemed that there were many masters around Li Zicheng. Except for the sharpshooter on the roof just now, who still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. The extraordinary man in front of him also made Adou feel very tricky.

The assassination mission has failed at this point, and now Adou is no longer in a hurry to kill the enemy, but is trying to find a way to get out.

Offense is the best defense, that's the motto Adou has always believed in. When his body hit the ground, he did not hesitate to bend his bow again, and the third and last arrow was shot out without hesitation.

The man who was guarding in front of Li Zicheng didn't know the power of Adou's 10,000-stone bow, and he still swung his knife conceitedly to cut it.

"Click."

The sharp arrow broke in response, but to the man's surprise, the shaft of the arrow broke, but the arrow still went straight for him. In the blink of an eye, before the man could react, a ball of blood burst out of his chest, and the arrow drilled directly into his chest.

"Third brother......" Li Zicheng saw the man in front of him injured, and immediately exclaimed.

The corners of Adou's mouth hooked up a sinister smile, and then took advantage of this momentary chaos, ran two steps quickly and took his body into the air, directly penetrated the window of the main hall, and flew away.

"At all costs, you must catch him, you must see people in life, and you must see corpses in death!" Li Zicheng was anxious, and the angry roar immediately echoed in the hall.

In an instant, the entire palace was suddenly brightly lit, and all the guards searched everywhere with torches in hand, and the palace was instantly full of chickens and dogs.

"Third brother......" Li Zicheng helped the injured man and kept calling.

At this time, a man with one hand covering his shoulder walked into the main hall, came to Li Zicheng silently, and squatted down to check on the injured third brother. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Big brother, third brother, he is no longer saved, and the arrow pierced through his heart." ”

Li Zicheng's face became even more angry when he heard this, he raised his head and stared at the man in front of him fiercely, and said in a cruel voice: "Second brother, who is this assassin?" ”

The second brother shook his head and said, "I only know that he is a descendant of the archers like me, and I don't know who instructed him to assassinate the eldest brother." ”

Li Zicheng only noticed the blood stains on his second brother's body at this time, and he frowned and said, "You were also injured by him?" ”

A trace of bitterness flashed on the second brother's face, and he said, "I found him on the roof, and an arrow was injured by him, and an arrow hit him in the shoulder. Fortunately, I avoided the key point, and I survived. ”

Li Zicheng was surprised, he knew how powerful this second brother's archery skills were, and it could be said that no one who was targeted by him could escape. But now even he wasn't the Assassin's opponent?

The second brother saw that Li Zicheng's face was uncertain, and it was not safe to continue to stay in this hall, so he said: "Big brother, we have to hide in the secret room for the time being, it is still not safe here, before we are sure that the assassin is caught, please be careful." ”

Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment, didn't say anything, picked up the body of the dead third brother, turned around and walked towards the right side of the main hall. The three of them quickly disappeared into the main hall and disappeared?

After Adou jumped out of the window, under the cover of the night, before the guards could react, he had already turned over on the roof again. He didn't look back to look at the situation in the main hall, and directly and quickly escaped from Li Zicheng's palace and disappeared into the vast night.

A few days later, Mao Wenlong in Xi'an received a secret letter, which was sent by Chen Jisheng's order. said that Adou's assassination failed, and he was seriously injured, and now he can no longer assassinate Li Zicheng, and asked Mao Wenlong how to decide?

"Adou actually missed? Li Zicheng also has an archer around him? After reading the letter, Mao Wenlong immediately exclaimed.

"Missed?" Hong Chengchou was also surprised, in his mind, as long as Adou made a move, there would be no reason not to succeed.

Mao Wenlong handed the letter to Hong Chengchou, and then said: "Li Zicheng actually has an archer by his side, it seems that he can easily escape every time he is in danger, it is not any luck or accident." It's that he was already guarded by peerless masters around him, which allowed him to escape repeatedly. ”

Hong Chengchou quickly read the letter, nodded and said: "It seems that we still underestimate Li Zicheng, he has the ability to do today, and he is by no means an ordinary person." ”

After Mao Wenlong was surprised, he changed the topic: "What now?" Do you want Chen Jisheng and them to withdraw immediately? ”

Adou is now seriously injured and can no longer stab Li Zicheng. Zhuang Yexiang's desire to kill Li Zicheng was also frustrated, and in addition to assassination, it was only possible to kill Li Zicheng by attacking on a large scale, but this was definitely not what Mao Wenlong thought.

Hong Chengchou frowned and pondered, and after a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that if Chen Jisheng and them withdraw their troops, some people will disagree, and the general army will really become a dishonest villain again." ”

Mao Wenlong said distressedly: "Of course, before withdrawing the troops, I can only let Chengzuo go to ask Zhuang Yexiang in private." Or let him enlighten Zhuang Yexiang until she agrees to withdraw the troops, and it will not be too late for us to withdraw. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "Now I can only do this, I hope that Zhuang Yexiang will not be too persistent, otherwise this matter will be very troublesome." ”

A trace of worry flashed on Mao Wenlong's face, he didn't know the bottom of his heart now, for fear that Cheng Zuo would be persuaded by Zhuang Yexiang when the time came, and then the two of them would do something stupid. In order to try not to let things develop badly, when Mao Wenlong wrote to Chen Jisheng, he specially instructed him to keep an eye on Chengzuo and Zhuang Yexiang.
