Chapter 143: Luck

、、、、、、、

That is, Zhao Xueyao stretched out his hand and pulled it, which made the assassin's body slammed, and the sharp blade that had been stabbed out with his hand was only a little short of stabbing Xiao Tianjian, and Zhao Xueyao was also driven by this person's fierce force, and fell to the ground on the spot, but he still didn't let go, because at this time he had realized what was happening, and when he saw that this person actually wanted to assassinate Xiao Tianjian, the anger in his chest didn't hit anywhere, and he desperately grabbed the clothes under this person's ribs, and with a stabbing sound, even his clothes were torn. Even his own fingernails were turned over, and it hurt to drill his heart, but Zhao Xueyao still didn't let go.

That is, Zhao Xueyao pulled like this, but saved Xiao Tianjian's life, this assassin's body was originally jumping up and rushing towards Xiao Tianjian, his body was in an unstable state, and there was no foundation floating under his feet, and Zhao Xueyao grabbed the clothes under his ribs so suddenly, and he was immediately taken along, losing his center of gravity, and when he adjusted his center of gravity to break free of Zhao Xueyao's hand, Xiao Tianjian had already taken a step back, and his hand was pressed on the handle of the knife, and he pulled out the waist knife with a bang, and at the same time, The surrounding iron head and several guards also bought a little time, and before Xiao Tianjian could swing his knife, the iron head and a few frightened guards had already sacrificed their lives to pounce in front of Xiao Tianjian, and one by one they drew their knives at the same time, frantically swinging towards this assassin.

This assassin is so angry! If it weren't for such a lame leg on the side who pulled him, he would have succeeded, but it was precisely because this lame man pulled him that he was so far away that he didn't stab Xiao Tianjian, and when he regained his balance and wanted to stab again, Xiao Tianjian had already retreated quickly, and those Xiao Tianjian's guards had already pounced like wolves, so that he could only parry with a knife, and there was no chance to assassinate Xiao Tianjian.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian was also quickly surrounded by the remaining guards, like an iron bucket to protect Xiao Tianjian in the middle, these guards all pulled out their waist knives one by one, or pulled out the short gun on their waists, pulled out the nose of the machine, and waited for their eyes to patrol around like a vicious tiger to choose someone to devour, looking for other assassins that might exist, in case someone took advantage of this opportunity to be unfavorable to Xiao Tianjian.

At this time, the scholars in the courtyard were in a big mess, they didn't expect that someone was hiding among them in disguise, wanting to seek an opportunity to assassinate Xiao Tianjian, and they were all frightened, for fear of making a move to harm the fish pond, and they all walked around.

Tietou and a few guards immediately surrounded this assassin, one by one they fought with him with their knives, and wanted to take him down on the spot, but this assassin was also quite good, although he only took a short knife, but he did not admit defeat when he moved up and down, but desperately still attacked, trying to break through the blockade of these guards such as Tietou, and continued to rush over to assassinate Xiao Tianjian, this guy was so good that Tietou and a few guards had no way to take him for a while, so they could only entangle with him in the courtyard, In the blink of an eye, he also injured two guards.

Xiao Tianjian was also angry to death at this time, thinking about it, he felt afraid, the clothes on his back were wet with cold sweat, he also saw that if it wasn't for the lame Xiucai who pulled this assassin just now, he would have been stabbed at this time, and looking at this assassin, he is obviously a martial arts master, and he is also a small move, which is very suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and what he has practiced over the years is the fighting skills of opening and closing on the battlefield, and he is not an opponent at all against this kind of person, and he is just wearing a soft armor, If you are stabbed by this guy, it is estimated that it will be difficult to block the sharp blade of this guy, and you will have fallen down by the knife at this time!

This kind of thing made him angry, and then look at the assassin who was surrounded in the field was very powerful, Iron Head and a few other guards surrounded him, and he couldn't take him down for a while, and he injured two guards, so he snatched a self-generated fire handcuff from one of the guards, and yelled: "Get out of the way!" ”

The iron head and the others instinctively opened their bodies, leaving a gap, Xiao Tianjian immediately raised his hand at the assassin and pulled the trigger, only to hear a bang, the assassin immediately screamed, and fell down with his back facing the sky holding his shoulders.

Before the assassin could struggle, the iron-headed men pounced on him, pressed the knife to his neck, and someone stepped on his knife-wielding arm, and chopped it off, cutting off his knife-wielding right hand to the ground, and the blood flew far away, causing the man to let out a wolf's howl.

"Spare him life, tie him up!" Xiao Tianjian roared angrily.

Tietou and the others pressed this guy desperately, and immediately someone found a rope, and tied him into a dumpling, and then tied his broken wrist with a rope, and the provincial guy died of excessive blood loss, so he dragged him up and pulled him out of the yard.

At this time, the guards outside the courtyard also heard the sound in the courtyard, and rushed into the courtyard one by one, drawing knives and guns aimed at these scholars in the courtyard, they didn't care whether these soldiers were valued by Xiao Tianjian or not, anyway, if there were assassins among these people, they should all die, and the iron head was even more angry, pointing at these soldiers and scolding: "Bastard, except for this Zhao Xiucai, the rest are tied up, and sent back to me to torture and interrogate, see if there are any assassins among them!" ”

So the guards were furious one by one, and immediately went up to arrest these soldiers, and these soldiers realized at this time that they were in big trouble, and the Xingtian Army was a famous master for killing people! Now that there is an Assassin among them, who wants to assassinate the co-leader of the Heavenly Army, who can guarantee that there will be no Assassin accomplices among them? It's good now, people want to arrest them and torture them, and now they are unlucky! If this Xiao Xingtian is angry with them, then killing them is also a matter of crooked mouth, not to mention that at this time, this Xiao Xingtian is angry and angry, and anything can be done, so all the soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all knelt down one after another, and kowtowed again and again to distinguish that they were innocent, and they were by no means accomplices of this assassin.

But what the guards don't care about! Just go up and take people, but Xiao Tianjian yelled again at this time: "Retreat for me!" Don't be rude to these gentlemen! The assassin has been caught! What are they doing? Licentious! ”

The guards heard Xiao Tianjian's angry shouts, so they quickly stood on their heels one by one, and stopped going up to catch these soldiers, Xiao Tianjian took a deep breath and waved his hand to let most of the guards withdraw, and then he hugged his fists to the frightened soldiers in the courtyard and said: "It seems that there are still many people who hate me Xiao in this world!" There are many people who want me to die! Today, something like this happened that frightened you! This is my responsibility for Xiao to fail to discover this assassin in advance! Nothing to do with you! Don't panic, Xiao won't be angry with you about this matter!

But today I frightened you, today Xiao wants to apologize to everyone, and will add some wine and food to you in the evening, so as to shock everyone, don't delay the exam because of this matter! Hurry up and calm down, or prepare for the exam!

Xiao still has something to do today, so I won't delay your time anymore! Leave! Leave! By the way, bring this Zhao Xiucai, Xiao has to thank him heavily! Let's go! ”

After saying that, Xiao Tianjian immediately clenched his fists and turned his head to get up from the ground at this moment, Zhao Xueyao, who had a frightened look, nodded and signaled, turned his head and strode out of the courtyard.

The guards and the iron head were unwilling, and wanted to persuade Xiao Tianjian to investigate this matter strictly, and they couldn't just let go of the soldiers in this courtyard so easily, and prevent them from having fellow assassins, but Xiao Tianjian glared and said, "What else is there to make a fuss?" Hugh wants to talk nonsense, go! ”

So the iron-headed people had to withdraw from the courtyard and escort Xiao Tianjian back to the Shuaifu, after going out, Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered: "Temporarily block this courtyard, no idle people are allowed to enter and exit, and at the same time block this news, and wait until the assassin is interrogated!" ”

Tietou immediately nodded and agreed, and sent someone to take care of the courtyard, temporarily not allowing the people in the courtyard to go out, and at the same time, not allowing idle people to enter the courtyard and have contact with the scholars in the courtyard, temporarily blocking the news of Xiao Tianjian's assassination. So this matter is not well known in Wuchang Mansion, and it is still as calm as before.

As for that Zhao Xueyao, because of his meritorious escort, he was also invited to a small courtyard alone as a distinguished guest, and someone was sent to protect him, and the comrades of the provincial assassins were angry with him, and then it was not good for him.

And in the afternoon, the assassin couldn't stand the torture, and confessed like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, it turned out that this assassin was not sent by the imperial court and the government, but some big salt merchants in the Jianghuai area, because they were afraid that Xiao Tianjian would invade the Lianghuai area and seize their family property, you must know that they have controlled the Lianghuai Salt Road for generations, and they have all made a fortune and made a lot of money, who doesn't have a family fortune of millions in their families!

And once the Xingtian Army enters the Lianghuai, it is obvious that they will not be able to keep this industry, and they don't have to think about making a fortune in the future, and it is estimated that even the old book will be completely copied by the Xingtian Army, so they secretly discussed it, and decided to take a risk, and paid to secretly find a group of highly skilled assassins from the people, let them disguise themselves as various characters, blend into the Wuchang Mansion, and wait for the opportunity to find an opportunity to assassinate Xiao Tianjian.

In addition to this assassin, they sent an assassin group, this assassin is only one of them, and the rest of the several people disguised as people from all walks of life have also mixed into the Wuchang Mansion, and are hiding in the city looking for an opportunity to assassinate Xiao Tianjian, but the others obviously have not found a chance, but Xiao Tianjian ran to the place where the scholar lived, and it happened that this assassin was dressed as a scholar because he was long, like a scholar, so he pretended to be a scholar who took the exam, and mixed in with the scholars, Looking for an opportunity to assassinate Xiao Tianjian, this time it was a chance for him to get a start, seeing that Xiao Tianjian was unprepared, he pulled out the hidden short knife on his body and planned to assassinate Xiao Tianjian, but he didn't think that it was just because a lame man who admired Xiao Tianjian pulled him, and as a result, he fell short, and finally failed to kill Xiao Tianjian.

And the knife used by this guy was also taken away for inspection, the knife body was smeared with poison, he only needed to use the knife to pierce Xiao Tianjian's oily skin, which can make Xiao Tianjian highly poisonous, this kind of poison and blood to seal his throat, Xiao Tianjian is difficult not to die, when they learned about these things, everyone couldn't help pinching a cold sweat, secretly calling luck, but unfortunately the two injured guards who protected Xiao Tianjian did not wait for dark, their faces turned black, and they died in the medical camp.
