Chapter 36: The Assassination (I)
Just when Yang Wu and Yang Liu were chatting without a word under the eaves, they didn't know that behind a tree not far from them, there was a black figure lurking there at this time, like a cheetah, ready to attack them at any time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Time back to nine days ago, Zhu Guangde, escorted by two guards, fled all the way to the river.
"Childe, hold on for a while, wait until you cross the river, and then you will be really safe." The two guards on the side also said breathlessly.
"Now that we're at the river, what about the boat you said you were going to have?" Zhu Guangde lay on the ground and said exhaustedly.
The night before it had rained heavily, the road was muddy, and his horse had already run a long way in a row, only to lose his hooves halfway through. Zhu Fatzi had no choice but to ride the guard's horse and let the two guards ride the same horse; Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Zhu Fatzi's horse to stumble again, causing him to have a blue nose and swollen face. In desperation, Zhu Fatzi had no choice but to ride the last horse, and the two guards had to run on the ground to keep up with him.
Now that they finally escaped to the river, the two guards hurriedly found the boat they left behind, helped Zhu Guangde to get on the boat, and pushed the boat into the river.
At this time, Yang Wu's pursuers arrived again, and when they saw that the three of them had already boarded the boat, they shouted one after another, "Quick, shoot them with arrows!" ā
At this time, the sky was completely bright, the rain had stopped, and the accuracy of the bow and arrow had also improved a lot at this time, and under the volley of arrows from many soldiers, one of the two guards was killed on the spot, and the other was also wounded, as for Zhu Fatzi, he was also hit by an arrow in the buttocks, and he screamed in pain.
Zhu Guangde and the others were frightened, and they didn't care about the injuries on their bodies, pushed the dead guards into the water, and took out the strength to eat, rowed hard, and finally rowed the boat to the center of the river.
It was already far from the shore, and the pursuers' arrows could hardly threaten them, so they withdrew.
"Finally escaped! Oops, it hurts! Looking at the pursuers who were gradually moving away, Zhu Guangde covered his buttocks and said embarrassedly.
Thinking that he is a son with fine clothes and fine food, where has he suffered this kind of suffering, and he hated Yang Wu who was so embarrassed in his heart.
"Kill him, I must kill him!" After bandaging the wound, Zhu Guangde lay on the deck of the ship and roared angrily.
"Childe, who are you going to kill, who are you going to kill?" The surviving guard said breathlessly.
"Who else could there be, of course that bastard Yang Wu!"
When the guards heard that their son was going to kill Yang Wu, they were not half surprised, but said with a look of approval, "What Gongzi said is right, that Yang Wu really deserves to be killed." However, how does Childe plan to kill him? ā
Zhu Guangde was a little hesitant, Yang Wunai was the eldest son of King Wu, with a noble status, and there were so many guards under him, it was really not easy to kill him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the guard knew that he didn't have a good way, so he said, "Childe, in fact, it's not difficult to kill Yang Wu, I have a way to kill him easily." ā
Zhu Guangde's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What can you do, tell me quickly?" ā
The guard clenched his fists and said, "Actually, you only need to send an assassin." Childe, you think, although Yang Wu has many soldiers and a lot of guards around him, it is impossible for him to take the guards with him all the time, right? As soon as he had the chance, Childe only needed to send one assassin, which was enough to kill him. ā
When Zhu Guangde heard it, it was really like this. Immediately, he thought that if Yang Wu won the battle this time, he would definitely be promoted, and he would even become the next Jiedu envoy in the future, so it was almost impossible to kill Yang Wu by those normal means, but it was more likely to send assassins to succeed.
And as long as Yang Wu is killed, not only will he be able to breathe out a bad breath, but the possibility of his father becoming the queen of Jiedu in the future will be even greater.
Thinking of this, Zhu Guangde hurriedly asked, "Your idea is good, but can you find a suitable assassin?" Also, make sure that my father is not implicated. ā
His father has been the assassin of Shouzhou for many years, and of course there is no shortage of dead soldiers under his command, but this matter is too important for him to leave any hidden dangers, so as not to implicate his father. So he had to find a way to find the assassin secretly.
The guard nodded and said, "Childe, the little one has been mixed up on the road before, and he just knows a person named Yu Chixi." He is so strong that it is difficult for ordinary people to approach him; What is even more rare is that he is narrow-minded and jealous and hateful. As long as Gongzi promises him a lot of money, and then tells him how bad Yang Wu is, this Wei Chixi will definitely be willing to take action to eliminate harm for the people. When the time came, that Wei Chi Xi assassinated Yang Wu, but the prince could not have anything to do with it, so it was naturally impossible to implicate the envoy. ā
Zhu Guangde thought him very thoughtfully, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately agreed, "Okay, just do it." You came up with the idea, so it's up to you. Money is not an issue, as long as you can handle this well, I will be rewarded when I come back. ā
"Thank you for your attention." The guard agreed with joy on his face.
After returning to Jiangbei, Zhu Guangde quietly took out 10,000 yuan from his father's property and handed it to the guards, asking him to contact Wei Chixi.
Soon after, the assassin named Wei Chixi agreed to the guard's request and prepared to assassinate Yang Wu to "eliminate harm for the people".
Wei Chixi was born in poverty, his parents died, and later he was lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple by a hermit, and learned a skill, and now he is not yet twenty years old, and he is already a famous master in the Tao.
However, although he is strong in martial arts, he is narrow-minded and jealous of evil. Not only has he never done anything harmful, but he is full of compassion for those poor people and often helps those poor people.
When he was a child, his parents died in the chaos to save him, and he was later taken in by his master, who not only taught him a skill, but also taught him to be a good person. The world is chaotic enough, and the people are already miserable enough, and people with skills like them can no longer harm the people.
His master told him that back then, Qin Yan, Bi Shiduo, Qin Zongheng, Sun Ru, etc., one by one, the warlords sang and I appeared, and these people were more brutal than the other, causing great damage to the land of Jianghuai. Especially Qin Zongheng, he is the younger brother of Qin Zongquan, the assassin of Caizhou, and the Caizhou army under his command has no humanity at all, not only cannibalism, but even slaughters the people everywhere, and uses the salt carried by the army to make the killed people into dried meat as military food, which can be said to be one of the most brutal warlords in history.
Later, Qin Zongquan's subordinate Sun Ru killed Qin Zongheng, captured Jianghuai, and was crowned as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu. Sun Ru was brutal, no worse than Qin Zongquan, and he also slaughtered people everywhere as military food.
There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the white bones are exposed in the wild.
ā¦ā¦
A few days ago, someone gave Wei Chixi 5,000 yuan and asked him to kill Yang Wu, the eldest son of King Wu. At first, he was unwilling, because compared to Sun Ru and other warlords, Yang Xingmi could be said to be a rare human master, generous and loving to the people, and he was unwilling to kill the son of such a benevolent man.
However, the man cried and said to him, although Yang Wu was young, his heart was too bad, and there was nothing evil in the world that he would not do. This time he led the army to attack Shengzhou, and he robbed the people's property everywhere in Shengzhou, and even slaughtered many people for this.
The man also said that his relatives were slaughtered by Yang Wu's army, and that he was the only one of the hundreds of people in his family who escaped, and suffered arrow wounds on his body. Speaking of which, the man also specially showed Wei Chixi the wounds on his body, which were indeed arrow wounds he had received in the past few days.
The man also said that he still had the five thousand yuan that he had hidden in his family before, and now he was willing to give it to Wei Chixi, only hoping that he would kill Yang Wu and avenge his family.
Wei Chixi was originally young and informed, and he was taken in by a hermit since he was a child, although he learned a skill, but he knew too little about human affairs. As soon as the man said it, he actually believed it, and he didn't even have any subordinates to give him 5,000 yuan, so he was ready to look for an opportunity to assassinate Yang Wu.
According to the information provided by the man, Wei Chixi knew that Yang Wu would return home tonight. It just so happened that Yang Xingmi led the army out today, and most of the guards in the palace followed Yang Xingmi, so the guards of the Jiedu Mansion tonight were far less strict than usual, and Wei Chixi didn't spend much effort to successfully sneak in.
