Chapter 283: Giant Arms and Two Swords Destroy the Palace
Cao Chong's house is not big, but it is surrounded by guards. He was not a man who was afraid of death, but a man who was extremely cautious. If his elder brothers had the opportunity to take a look at the formation of the hundreds of guards surrounding the house here, they would know what this fourth brother was like.
But today, his guard finally came into play, and that man came straight here. All the guards watched intently as the night approached.
"Why don't you bring lamps in the dark, where are you from!" The head of the guards, the man with the long knife, was full of anger, but his voice did not shake the comer.
The visitor stood not far away, and he raised an arm. Everyone was amazed, what did they see as an arm? It's one, no, it's the arm that becomes the blade, and at this distance, it must be his hand that becomes the blade. Because it was still shining, faint, faint, blue, creepy.
"It doesn't matter if you're a human or a ghost, give you one last chance, speak quickly!"
The head of the guard, who didn't have much to do on weekdays, was also furious. He took a step and walked over, holding a large knife, and dozens of people followed behind him. If their team is a central axis, then the man in black moves along this central axis, whether dodging left or right, or spreading his blade. It was when the soldiers were whining and wailing that he went straight through their ranks, and with a wave of his right hand, a head rested calmly on the face of his sword, while those behind him, some of whom had not even had a chance to turn around, had already been killed, dead people on the ground. Causing a frenzy among the remaining guards, they rushed over. At the same time, Cao Chong, who noticed something strange, pushed them away with a face full of displeasureβno, it was not him who pushed them away, but the guards who had been staying in his room, six heavily armed and skilled guards, who looked at the night with serious faces.
Torches and corpses all over the place, and the fast-moving black shadow confronting the soldiers. Someone couldn't help but sigh: "What a speed! β
Yes, it was the man in black who moved in an instant, showing an unrivaled ability to move, and he had the ability to kill.
"This ...... Who is this? Cao Chong's face was full of fear, and then judged: "Hurry up and run!" β
He then fled to the west side of the main road, escorted by six men, and as long as he reached the location of some of the wings there, he followed the west wall all the way to the south, directly to the main entrance, and then he could leave the mansion. He judged so, but the problem was that the guards were so bloody that they were killed by the black shadow, and it was difficult to parry.
Cao Chong, who was already running the wall, and the frightened subordinates who kept passing by him, and the guards who gathered after hearing the sound, these scenes created the current situation of the palace.
"Quick, get that thief in for me! Kill him! β
Cao Chong shouted like this, he only cared about running away. The guards were absolutely dubious in their duties, and they all rushed towards the location where the metal collided. But when many people got there, they saw only corpses in one place, and there was nothing but the weak flames of torches climbing on the ground. Without that enemy, they would have perished with the guards, and they couldn't help but guess, and then searched for his body on the ground. Yes, as long as the body is found, they are a huge credit.
Unfortunately, the distant screams were so real that they pierced their eardrums.
The sound of dense footsteps could no longer stop what was happening. Cao Chong collapsed in a pool of blood. The man jumped off the wall, and before the six of them knew it, he slashed Cao Chong's chest and almost broke it in half.
The blades of his hands were stained with blood among the six, and the weapons came quickly, and he slashed all the weapons with the force of a whirlwind, and when he turned around with his two blades, the six fell to the ground. The six people who are known as the outstanding martial arts in the palace of King Deng Ai have such a dismal ending. But their deaths, including those of the other soldiers, were not at all as shocking as Cao Chong's.
The capital of the Wei Dynasty was shocked.
On the fourth watch, Cao Zhi, who was pale, hurriedly got dressed, and there were people in the house, Pang Tong and Xueyue.
"Go down." Cao Zhi waved his hand, and the blood on his face faded. The subordinates who came to report the important event left in a panic. The people in the candle flame swayed in the news that seemed to be fantastic.
"Are you kidding, I really ......" Cao Zhi took a few steps backwards weakly, until he sat on the edge of the bed.
"I don't believe it either, but the news has spread, the court is shocked, the army has surrounded the entire palace, and the arrest of the killer has begun." Pang Tong said: "I really can't figure it out, who did everything?" β
"This is Wei Du!" Cao Zhi said suddenly: "You have such a big guts? β
"More than a hundred guards, including Cao Chong's guards, were all killed, is this an assassination?" Pang Tong couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
"It doesn't count." This time, it was up to the professional personnel Xue Yue to answer. "Killing so many people is not an assassination, it is a massacre."
"Blatant slaughter." Pang Tong sighed and said: "This hand is really vicious, it should have slaughtered the people in the palace in Weidu, and killed King Deng Ai, this method is ......."
"Could it be the second brother!" Cao Zhi's face trembled almost nervously. "Yes, yes, it must be him, only he can do this kind of thing, sneak into the palace and kill people......"
"It's impossible, ......do it yourself," Pang Tong said, "He should have raised a group of elite subordinates, but the problem is that those subordinates say that there is only one assassin." In this way, he is a very elite general, and I really suspect that his martial arts are beyond Cao Zhang's own. β
Cao Zhi couldn't help but touch his neck and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"I don't think my life will be long."
"To do such a thing in the imperial capital, even he Cao Zhang is too reckless, but he really takes the emperor for a fool." Pang Tong said: "It seems that we really have to sleep on your side." β
He tried his best to soothe Cao Zhi, who was extremely excited and nervous. But this Cao Zhi was completely frightened. Pang Tong thought to himself: "This person's courage is put on the killing array, and he is also to be afraid. But things are a bit too outrageous. That Cao Zhang really dared to use such means? That shows that he's not a reckless man anymore. But Cao Cao won't give up...... Voodoo is a matter of opportunity. β
Since he had completely lost his judgment of the situation, Pang Tong had no choice but to calmly observe for a while. The next day, as expected, all the senior officials in the imperial capital were announced into the Qiankun Hall and formed six teams. Pang Tong and Xueyue were not qualified to enter and waited outside the hall.
Cao Cao was on the dragon chair, his eyelids folded out of four layers, and his dark eyes were thick like ink. His whole face seemed to be instantly haggard. It should have been that after knowing that his four sons had been killed, he didn't sleep all night.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you should know about last night's bloodbath." Cao Cao controlled his emotions, and his breathing was a little short.
"Father, you have to take care!" Cao Pi said loudly: "You have fainted with a headache four times last night, you can't go on like this!" β
Tears flowed down his face after the words.
Cao Cao exhaled heavily and waved his hand.
"It's okay, presumably the thief is just going to be angry. It must be Pang Shiyuan, it must be Pang Shiyuan! This guy is going to be angry! β
Cao Zhang's face was full of displeasure, and he frowned: "This Ren Dynasty is too rampant, and he dares to send someone deep into my capital to kill the children of my royal family, it's infuriating!" Exasperating! However, the guards in the city are still not strict! He glared angrily and looked at Li Dian, the city guard. As I said earlier, the construction of the palace must be accelerated, and all the royal children must live in it so that they can be safe and sound under the protection of the Praetorian Guard. Just rely on some soldiers to defend the city...... But at least it is also the army defending the city, so that the enemy will swagger in the imperial capital of our dynasty! β
Li Dian hurriedly stepped out of the queue and arched his hand towards Cao Cao: "Weichen is derelict in his duties!" Please give the emperor death! He knelt down on the ground.
The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, no one excused Li Dian, and no one added fuel to the fire. What happened was too serious.
"Don't you have any clues from the other party? Don't know what they look like? Cao Cao spoke, his voice was very muddy, as if it was squeezed out of his throat. He must have been so tightened in his chest that his voice had changed.
Li Dian nodded stiffly and said, "Weichen deserves death, he actually let the enemy sneak into the city and attack the palace, this kind of thing happened...... I really don't have the face to live. β
"I heard that I don't even know what the other party looks like, how can I find it?" Cao Pi asked.
Li Dian was silent. He was ready to die.
"And what exactly did you do?" Cao Cao asked, looking weak.
"The protection of all royal families and ministers has been strengthened, prisoners have been arrested, the whole city has been searched, and all major roads have been blocked. It's already impassable, and the prisoners must be arrested. β
"But, Pi'er is right, you don't even know what each other's faces look like."
Li Dian said solemnly: "That's also a matter of no choice, as long as there are people in the palace who have seen assassins, all of them have been killed...... This assassin is just too fierce. β
