Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Chapter 036 The Assassination Plan (II)
Xin Lingjun was obviously enraged by his ignorance and was about to attack, Zhu Hai already knew what he meant, and shouted in his mouth: "Bold fanatics, dare to be disrespectful to the king!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Hai waving in his hand, and the strange weapon flew out and smashed into the man's head. A bone crackling sound was heard, and the man didn't even snort, and his head hung down.
Lu Yu finally saw the weapon in Zhu Hai's hand clearly, it turned out to be a meteor hammer, at first glance it looked like a hammer, the hammer head was shaped like a pumpkin, and the end was connected with a soft rope.
Thinking that this was the murder weapon that injured Xiao Zhengwen, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
I only heard Ling Jun say to him: "I didn't expect this guy to be so hard-mouthed when he was dying, but he was not a tough guy." ”
Lu Yu cooperated and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know who this person is..."
Xin Lingjun and others were Lu Yu's questions. Sure enough, he immediately said, "This person is one of Jing Jie's subordinates. ”
Lu Yu pretended to be surprised, and at the same time looked at Xin Lingjun.
Ximen Hou took Xinlingjun's words and said: "At three o'clock tonight, the younger brother found that there were three or four people whose whereabouts were suspicious, and they all covered their faces, so he immediately ordered someone to follow them. I wanted to go back to the house to inform Brother Lu, but I was afraid of missing the opportunity, but fortunately I met Mr. Zhu, and I saw through the conspiracy of these thieves. ”
Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Yu glanced at Zhu Hai and did not speak, still expressionless.
Ximen Hou said again: "While they were about to attack the two children, Mr. Zhu and I immediately took action, but unfortunately only this one was caught, and the other three still escaped." ”
Xin Lingjun said: "Now it has been shocked, but it has been confirmed that the disappearance of the child has a great relationship with Long Yangjun. ”
Lu Yu thought to himself that you had already arranged these things, and now you just arrested a person who didn't know what his identity was, beat him so badly that he couldn't speak, and killed him again, and there was no proof of his death, so it makes sense. He guessed that Xin Lingjun was probably using this person's "identity" to further consolidate Lu Yu's trust in him, and was ready to use Lu Yu's hand to attack Long Yangjun, otherwise he would never have staged so many scenes in front of him.
It seems that Xin Lingjun still "affords" Lu Yu very much.
However, Lu Yu's anger was not pretended, Xin Lingjun thought that he was because of the disappearance of children, but no one knew that his anger was aimed at Zhu Hai.
This Zhu Hai's martial arts should be above Ximen Hou, but I don't know how long the soft rope of the meteor hammer in his hand is? Lu Yu looked at the pumpkin-like hammer head, and already had a way to deal with him in his heart.
If this person is not removed, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in the hearts of Lu Yu and others! Just think of it as a favor for Long Yangjun! Lu Yu thought indignantly in his heart.
Xinling Jun ordered people to drag them out and bury them, and "promised" Lu Yu that he would definitely use various means to track down the detention point of the missing children, rescue all the missing people, and put on the image of a savior. He also said that he would bring down Long Yangjun and prevent him from continuing to cause trouble to the children, and return justice to the world.
Lu Yu heard that his ears were about to grow calluses before he was put back by Xinlingjun.
When he returned to the room, Lu Yu was even more surprised, Ling Fan was actually talking to Dai Ji!
This Ling Fan is really powerful, he has only been away for less than an hour, and she came over in person, seemingly to accompany Dai Ji to talk and relieve boredom, but in fact, it is because she wants to prevent people from Xinling Jun's side. This made Lu Yu very happy, although Ling Fan also wanted to keep the plan unaffected, but the hosta that Lu Yu gave her did work, making her no longer as cold as before.
Seeing him come back, Ling Fan showed a rare smile and took the initiative to say, "Since Master Lu is back, the slave will retire first." So saying, he got up and saluted the two of them, and withdrew.
Dai Ji also put down the needle and thread in his hand, walked over to Lu Yu to coat him, and took his hand and said, "Lu Ye, come and see the handiwork of the slave and maid." ”
Ever since Lu Yu tempted her, she has called herself a slave.
Lu Yu smiled: "Don't be a slave before and after the slave, I have never treated you as a slave." ”
Dai Ji lowered her head, her face turned red, and she said softly: "The slave family is afraid that Lu Ye will not want me again." ”
Lu Yu walked over with her, and saw a pair of finished underwear and a pair of trousers on the desk, and suddenly became happy again, took them in his hand and studied them, and couldn't help boasting: "Okay, this is already very good." ”
This finally solved the problem of not having underwear to change, and Lu Yu almost couldn't help but want to try it on. Originally, the underwear that crossed together was about to break, and I was worried that after it was broken, I would have to wrap it in a piece of cloth a few times like these ancient people, and it would be difficult to go to the toilet.
Daihime saw that he was happy, and she also obediently enjoyed his praise on the sidelines, and her face was full of happiness.
There are still two days left before escorting Wei Mingji's trip to Handan.
Sure enough, through the verification of Ling Fan and Long Yangjun, the person who was killed was not Jing Jie's subordinate, and it was believed that Xin Lingjun found a death row prisoner as a substitute for the dead ghost.
After four consecutive days of investigation, Long Yangjun informed Zhu Hai that during this time, he would almost always arrive at the samurai inn at about three o'clock in the afternoon. So they determined that this was what he had to do every day, and when the noon handover was not made, the people who went to the Wei Palace's palace from the back door of the martial arts hall were all different faces, and every time they entered the palace, the people who followed them lost their clues, and their vigilance was so high that they had no way of knowing who their connector in the palace was, suspecting that it was related to the King of Wei, and even the connector might be the King of Wei.
And this person will return to the hotel at the time of the unitary, and after about a moment of the unitary time, Zhu Hai will return to the Lingjun Mansion.
On the fifth day, Long Yangjun calculated the time to enter the palace to face the saint, and sure enough, when it was time to Shen, King Wei found an excuse to send him back. Although he was not sure, he felt that King Wei was very suspicious and believed that he could not get rid of it.
There was not much time left, and Zhang Wu mentioned in the silk letter that the time and place for the assassination of Zhu Hai had been discussed, and Lu Yu was informed of the plan in detail.
Xiao Zhengwen was already able to get out of bed and walk around, so excited that he jumped on Lu Yu's back and cheered.
Of course, Lu Yu was also happy, the "Sheng Shen Method" was indeed an incredible method of internal breathing, which could make a seriously injured person get out of bed and walk in such a short time. However, that is also because Xiaowen's sternum is not broken, otherwise the situation would be very different.
After Xiao Zhengwen cheered for a while, he said to Lu Yu: "Second brother, Xiaowen has recovered, when will we go to find Big Brother and Sister Ling?" ”
Lu Yu smiled lightly, patted Xiao Zhengwen's shoulder, and said, "Soon, believe in the second brother." ”
Xiao Zhengwen's eyes widened, nodded vigorously, revealing a capitalized look of happiness, and then said to him: "Recently, Xiaowen found that a woman was very strange, often appeared outside the room, and kept peeking inside me, as if she was a maid in this house. ”
Lu Yu almost laughed, wasn't that Ling Fan? But I can't tell him yet, so I have to say: "Could it be that she likes Xiaowen?" ”
Xiao Zhengwen showed a surprised expression, then glared at Lu Yu again, and said, "It seems that she is a few years older than Xiaowen, and the second brother is a liar." ”
Lu Yu laughed, touched his head, and told him not to stop practicing because he could get out of bed and move, Xiao Zhengwen was a little impatient with his thoughts, and he didn't dare not listen, and he kept puffing up his cheeks, which made Lu Yu couldn't help laughing for a while.
According to the plan, Lu Yu was invited by Yu'er's maidservant to Zuilanfang to meet, and Ximen Hou was so jealous that he couldn't accompany him because he had official business. Fortunately, he has had something to do in the past few days, and if he didn't let him follow him to Zuilanfang, he wouldn't be able to do a lot of things, let alone kill Zhu Hai. Of course, these have long been in Lu Yu's plan.
Yu'er was still wearing a veil when she saw Lu Yu, and there was no trace of nervousness in her big charming eyes, which showed that she was very calm. On the contrary, Lu Yu took the initiative to kill someone for the first time, and there were many indescribable feelings in his heart at the same time, and he knew that it was a manifestation of nervousness.
Yu'er stroked his chest, handed a glass of wine to his hand, and asked softly, "Is Brother Lu nervous?" ”
Lu Yu said with some embarrassment: "It's a lie to you to say that you are not nervous, but I will never let it affect today's actions." Then he said: "Don't drink anymore, the eldest brother is afraid that he will not be able to drink." ”
Yu'er smiled: "This wine is for you to warm up." With that, he raised his head and left a fragrant kiss on Lu Yu's face.
This encouraging kiss made Lu Yu instantly full of confidence, but he didn't come for the wind and snow, but used Zuilanfang as a cover. Yu'er took him to the backyard and dressed him as a commoner in addition to his samurai uniform, tossed his hair and smeared some powder mixed with dirt on his face to make him look more like a farmer. Although there is no mirror to see her face after disguise, judging from Yu'er's satisfied expression, it seems that she has changed a lot.
Just in case, Lu Yu's broken army sword was left in Zuilanfang, and he hid a short sword and a dagger prepared in advance. Although he discarded the weapons he was using for fear of revealing his identity, because both of these weapons were easy to carry and conducive to concealment, he specially selected the weapon, and after thinking about it last night, he felt that this might be of special use in today's operation.
Yu'er tied a yellow cloth belt around his left arm and opened the back door.
Hou Rong was easy to look like when he was in Xinling Jun's Mansion as Long Wuzhi, so he didn't dress up more, but just changed into civilian clothes like Lu Yu and met him at the door of the backyard. Because Lu Yu didn't know the location of the samurai inn, Hou Rong led the way and described the environment to him, as well as the number of samurai and the location of the guards. To Lu Yu's admiration, Zhang Wu had already brought two warriors of Long Yang Jun to ambush in and around the pavilion, which directly proved Long Yang Jun's strength.
According to the plan mentioned in the silk letter, as soon as the person came out of the back door, when he passed a certain section of the road, the samurai who were lying in ambush would immediately subdue him, and Zhang Wu would send a signal in a few moments to inform them to join forces. Although it had been explained in detail, Hou Rong was still afraid that Lu Yu would forget, so he told him again.
The two arrived at a private house near the samurai inn just before noon, and in order to move, they moved out of the original house, which is now an empty and uninhabited house. There was nothing in it but the items they were going to use.
Hou Rong took out a set of ropes with hook claws, which were used for climbing, and Lu Yu finally saw that there really was such a thing in ancient times. The samurai pavilion has two floors, an apricot tree in the backyard, and a wall that rises above four meters, which is the first place they chose to stay.
The branches were covered with silvery snow, which greatly reduced friction, so they simply used the clutter of branches as cover and quickly avoided the second foothold.
If it's not winter, the lush foliage is enough to keep them hidden for longer, but unfortunately the season doesn't tell the story.
It's only four meters, so why a rope? Lu Yu muttered secretly in his heart, as long as it is not a smooth cement wall, as long as he uses the inertia of running, one person will first use the wall as a human ladder, with his bounce power, the palm of his hand can definitely be mounted, and then climb up to the wall, why use ropes? And after going up, you have to put the rope away, otherwise the consequences can be imagined.
Could it be that Hou Rong's bounce is extremely poor, or does he think he can't jump on this brick wall?
At this time, it happened to be the time for the guards in the courtyard to take over, and the opportunity could not be missed, Hou Rong and Lu Yu quickly arrived at the wall, only to see Hou Rong's big arm wave, and the hook claw came out of his hand, directly hooking the two branches of the apricot tree. After pulling down a little, Hou Rong jumped up, climbed the rope with the strength of his arms, and only heard the three sounds of "whoosh", and the person was already standing firmly on the apricot tree, and there was no snow falling.
Lu Yu was dumbfounded when he saw it, but in the blink of an eye, Hou Rong's action of climbing the rope was completed in one go, and he flew up as if he had wings on his back. More than four meters in height, a jump, the left and right hands alternately grasp the climb only three times, each time he grabbed the rope, he pushed his body up a lot, as if there was no weight at all, and did not touch the snow on the branches, such a skill, who dares to say that his bounce power is not good? What is this not light work?
Hou Rong gestured to the tree and asked Lu Yu to hurry up. Lu Yu thought to himself that he couldn't lose face in front of him, all along, he was still relatively satisfied with his bounce power. So he took a breath and learned to leap and grab the rope. When I was about to climb up, I suddenly realized that I was already rising, and when I looked up, it turned out that Hou Rong was pulling. At this moment, Lu Yu was very happy, saved some effort, and let Hou Rong pull him up.
The two of them stood on the tree, the clutter of branches to hide their figures, and because of the high place, the people below would not normally stare so closely. At this time, there was silence in the courtyard, and the time for the guards to take over the shift was just half an hour, providing Lu Yu and them with an opportunity. Lu Yu found that the back door was open on another wall, and the guards outside the door did not leave one step, and it seemed that they had to wait until the guards on duty passed to ensure that there were people on duty at all times. The guards in the backyard are patrols, and there will still be vacancies even if they are not on shift, but you must ensure that you can climb the four-meter-high wall in half a minute, and then quickly go down the wall to hide your whereabouts.
This apricot tree has a branch that extends exactly to the trimmed edge of the eaves of the lowest level. This is a double-eaves building, Lu Yu and the others chose the lower eaves as the second foothold, and then hid under the wall between the two eaves, because there is a window in the wall, which is Zhu Hai's special room to do business here. And that window will be the key to this operation. But the end of the branch extension is definitely not enough to support it, and without a focus point, it is impossible to jump over.
Time did not allow them to think too much, and then Rong threw his hook over the side again, hooked the decoration on the eaves with unmistakable accuracy, tied the other end of the rope to the higher part of the trunk, and then hooked the rope with his hands and feet, and slid towards the eaves.
Lu Yu was shocked again, Hou Rong definitely had the genes of special forces in his body, which made him have to admire.
If you go to the world 2,000 years later, Hou Rong's skills can definitely be a devil coach.
Seeing that he had successfully reached the opposite side, Lu Yu no longer doubted whether the rope was firmly tied, learned from Hou Rong, carefully grasped the rope, and his feet were also crossed, and he automatically slid towards the edge of the eaves just like him.
When Lu Yu stood firm on the eaves, Hou Rong grabbed the rope with one hand and pulled it back, and the rope was like a part of his body and was obediently taken back. If you don't use enough force, you may not be able to untie the knots tied to the trunk, and if you push too hard, you will tear off a lot of snow from the tree.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps below.
I heard one person say, "Strange. ”
Another asked, "Strange what?" ”
The first one said, "Look, I thought it was snowing." ”
The other laughed at him: "How is it possible! It's just the wind that blows the snow off the trees, so don't make a fuss. ”
The two stopped talking, and the footsteps faded away.
Lu and Hou glanced at each other, knowing that it was the guards who had just passed by. At this time, the two of them were lying on the eaves, sitting or squatting would be found by the people below, and both of them were covered with falling snow, and it was Lu Yu who was lying on his stomach, responsible for listening to the movements inside; Lying is Hou Rong, who is responsible for waiting for Zhang Wu's signal and monitoring the security behind him to prevent being discovered and attacked from behind.
Sure enough, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sound in the house. Lu Yu heard that it was Zhu Hai's voice, and immediately cheered up. His arrival means that the action is about to begin, and only the cold wind outside can perform its lines unscrupulously, and Lu Yu and Hou Rong can only accompany the vast white snow to do pantomime. It's going to take a while, but at least it won't be boring for him.
The people inside spoke so quietly that they couldn't hear what they were saying. Lu Yu could only distinguish Zhu Hai's voice, and the other voice was probably the person who was about to enter the palace. Other than that, there is no third voice.
If that person leaves, I wonder if Zhu Hai will be left alone? This is already the most extreme information that Long Yangjun can provide, and the rest can only depend on themselves.
However, Lu Yu obviously underestimated the time of an hour, because that kind of waiting was long and boring. Before half an hour had come, he was so bored that he almost fell asleep. From time to time, he glanced at Hou Rong out of the corner of his eye to see if he was as bored as he was to fall asleep. I don't know if I don't look at it, it turns out that if I don't look carefully, even if Lu Yu is at such a close distance, he can't see that there are two people under this pile of snow, and Hou Rong only left a small hole for watching and breathing, and he couldn't see his face at all.
Although they were wearing two layers of animal skins that were close to their bodies, they still couldn't stop the biting cold, and Lu Yu was even worried that the two of them would freeze into stiff flesh under the snow without waiting for the next time. However, in fact, it was not as frozen as he imagined, except for the animal skin clothes, and he had drunk hot wine before coming, which played a role in keeping warm at this time.
I wonder where Zhang Wu is hiding in the museum now?
Just when Lu Yu was still thinking nonsense in his mind, he only heard the sound of snoring in the house, and secretly wondered if this Zhu Hai was already asleep? Immediately, he heard a crow cry from the courtyard, and Lu Yu suddenly felt full of energy, because it was the signal given by Zhang Wu, and it turned out that he had spent noon in his thoughts.
There was a tremor next to him, Hou Rong brushed away the snow on his head, glanced at Lu Yu, and signaled to prepare for action. The two of them carefully climbed up and crouched down by the wall. Hou Rong took out a bamboo tube from his clothes, pulled out the lid, and poured the liquid inside on the edge of the window door. Lu Yu knew that it was a special medicine, which could minimize the sound of pushing the window, so that he could enter the room without noticing. Immediately, Hou Rong pressed his right hand on the window and tried to push it away, but frowned.
The window door was bolted inside!
In the midst of this, someone suddenly shouted, "Who are you!" ”
It turned out that the patrol on the ground had passed by and had spotted them.
Hou Rong made a decision immediately and immediately broke through the window.
When Lu Yu jumped in from the window, the guards downstairs had already shouted.
Zhu Hai had already woken up when the patrol was shouting, and when Lu Yu came in, he was already holding a weapon and touching the two of them head-on.
