Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 105 The Assassination (II)
These two groups of musicians from Liaodong. [ ] All in Assassin disguise. The assassins sent by Cao Yu did not understand the rhythm of music, and they were afraid of revealing flaws along the way, so they did not dare to talk to the other ten musicians at all.
It's just that they didn't expect that the other ten people were assassins of the Huns, and these ten Huns also didn't understand the law, so they also had the same calculation, that is, to try to avoid contact with everyone else, while revealing flaws.
From Liaodong to Luoyang, the road is far away, and on the way, these two groups of fake musicians were stunned and didn't say a few words. In the eyes of the other members of the envoy group, these musicians are all weirdos, and they don't say a word along the way, even if they take the initiative to go over and talk to them, the musicians will not take care of people. And these musicians have never played music along the way, and they haven't even touched the instruments a few times.
However, everyone was in a hurry, and although these "musicians" behaved strangely, no one had the time to question them. And now, with the palace eunuch shouting. These "musicians" are finally coming out to perform.
Ten Sanhan women walked up slowly, and the twenty fake musicians also followed up to the main hall.
The eunuch took the group of fake musicians to the designated position, and more than 20 musicians sat down, and the instruments in their hands were slowly lifted. Make a look like you're ready to play.
"Playing music!" The eunuch shouted, and then the room was silent as everyone waited for the musicians to play.
In the middle of the lobby, the twenty Sanhan women had already posed, just waiting for the music to start dancing, while the surrounding officials, especially some military generals, stared at the women in the middle one by one, constantly looking up and down.
Time passed minute by minute, but the music still did not sound.
The eunuch who had just shouted looked at the group of musicians below in some surprise, and began to wonder in his heart: Could it be that our family didn't shout clearly enough just now, and they didn't understand?
Thinking of this, the eunuch strode forward again, deliberately raised his voice, slowed down his speech, and shouted: "Play music!" ”
This time, the eunuch was very sure that he was shouting in a correct tone, and others would definitely hear it clearly.
Below, two groups of fake musicians, you look at me, I look at you, all of them didn't move. Both sides have the idea of indiscriminately filling the numbers. They are all waiting for each other to play.
The two sides stared at each other with wide eyes, holding musical instruments in their hands, waiting for each other to play music first, and the venue was quiet.
"Playing music!" The eunuch shouted again. However, the group of fake musicians below still did not move at all.
The Assassins exchanged glances with each other, and they both saw confusion and confusion in each other's eyes. Several of the Assassins had sensed that something was wrong and began to look around cautiously.
"Boss, why don't they play?" An assassin whispered.
"I don't know."
"Let's just do it now!"
"No, don't you see, everyone is looking at us, we can't do it now, wait a little longer."
In the hall, the generals of Wenchen and the military all looked at this group of musicians, and their eyes all intersected on them. And among them, the most embarrassing thing is the messenger of Liaodong.
At this time, the face of the Liaodong envoy became very ugly. Originally, the Liaodong envoy planned to take this opportunity to perform well, but he didn't expect that the eunuch shouted three times, but these musicians did not play music, which made the Liaodong envoy very embarrassed.
Surrounding. Officials have already begun to discuss.
"What's going on?"
"Are these Liaodong people deaf?"
"Have you ever heard that deaf people can be musicians? They're dumb, I guess! ”
"Dumb? What does dumbness have to do with music......"
The discussion of the officials made the hall seem to be a little riotous.
Pang Tong slowly touched his beard, looked at the twenty musicians, his eyes narrowed slightly, his mouth was spurted, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. On the already ugly face, a trace of hideousness appeared.
"Come on, arrest all these people!" Pang Tong suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
Your Highness, the samurai immediately rushed up.
"Not good, do it!" The assassins sent by Cao Yu were not good at something, and they immediately decided to do it. These were professional assassins, and their reflexes were much quicker than those of the Huns. So when those warriors poured in, these Youzhou assassins immediately moved, and their weapons lit up in an instant.
"There are assassins!"
The generals drew their swords one after another, and the timid ministers shrank back.
"What's going on?"
The Hun assassins didn't expect this sudden change at all, and the surrounding Youzhou assassins dressed as musicians suddenly took out their weapons, and then, the shouts of those "assassins" came, which made these Huns startled. Several of them were panicked by the surprise attack, and they also drew their hidden blades.
The Hun Assassin and the Youzhou Assassin glanced at each other, both saw the weapons in each other's hands, and at the same time could see each other's surprise and confusion.
The guards in the palace, under the leadership of Huang Chong, rushed in, at this time. The Assassins remembered what they were here for.
"Up! Liu Chan is over there! The assassins rushed to Adou as soon as possible.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Zhang Wei raised the table violently and blocked Adou's approach.
"Kill Liu Chan...... An assassin who was not very tall rushed to the front, and the dagger in his hand was glowing with blue and black, and he knew at a glance that it had been quenched with poison.
"Death to thieves!" Zhang Wei held the table as a shield in one hand, and grabbed a copper bowl with the other and threw it at the Assassin.
"Oops!" The assassin screamed. Zhang's bowl hit the assassin in the head. The copper bowl is not very large, but Zhang Wei's strength is not small. This bowl directly smashed the other party's brain.
"Whoosh......" The three arrows flew with a unified sound, rushing towards the three Assassins, hitting them in the back of the heart, and the three Assassins were shot by the arrows, and then rushed forward a few steps by inertia before falling to the ground.
"Who is so bold that he dares to shoot arrows here, and is he not afraid of accidental injury?" Zhang Wei frowned, although the area in the hall is not small, there are many people, and the direction of this arrow is exactly the direction of Zhang Wei and Adou, if you accidentally injure Adou, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The corner of Zhang Wei's eyes swept forward, and it happened that Huang Chong bent his bow and arrows again, and there were three arrows on the bow.
"One bow and three arrows! Has General Huang's mastery been learned by him? Zhang Wei muttered to himself. There was a hint of envy in his tone. This bow and three arrows is Huang Zhong's mastery, and it is also Huang Zhong's secret that is not passed on, Huang Chong is Huang Zhong's righteous son, so he is fortunate to be able to learn this trick. And in this hall, Huang Chong dared to shoot arrows, which also shows that he has strong self-confidence.
Three more arrows flew out, striking the three Assassins again. And Zhang Wei also took advantage of this kung fu and drew out his sword. Then a cold light streaked through, slashing an Assassin into a pool of blood.
"Hey......" Adou shook his head helplessly, Zhang Wei was afraid that someone would hurt Adou, so he killed him. And Huang Chong is also the key point of the assassin with every arrow, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave a living mouth.
"Zhang Wei, Huang Chong, stay alive!" Adou spoke.
"Yes." Huang Chong immediately changed the trajectory of the archery and began to aim at the assassin's legs.
In this case, if these assassins suddenly started an incident, it would be enough to kill Adou and cause some danger to Adou, but unfortunately, these assassins were preceded by Pang Tong and lost their suddenness, allowing Huang Chong to lead the guards to rush in. Once Huang Chongshen's arrow was swung out, the killing degree of one bow and three arrows was too fast, and these assassins could not rush to Adou's approach at all.
In the blink of an eye, twenty assassins were killed and wounded, and the ten women were also arrested by Huang Chong.
Adou Tie blushed and looked at the Liaodong envoy, who was at a loss. This sudden assassination scared the Liaodong envoy stupid.
"This, what the hell is going on......" The messenger opened his mouth and looked blankly at the corpses on the ground, one of which fell not far from the messenger, and the blood had even flowed to the messenger's feet and seeped into the socks, but the messenger was at a loss.
"What's going on?" Adou sneered: "What do you say is going on?" Anyone who comes, arrest them all for me! ”
"Yes." Huang Chong led the people to rush up and arrested all the people from Liaodong.
Next to him, a playful smile rose on Pang Tong's face, and then he secretly looked at Adou. Seeing that Adou was angry now, Pang Tong shook his head slightly and swallowed his words back.
……
"This Gongsun Yuan dares to send someone to assassinate me!" A Dou's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and it could be seen that Adou was moved with murderous intent.
Pang Tong took a slight step forward and said, "Your Majesty." In Chen's opinion, this assassin may not have been sent by Gongsun Yuan. ”
"Not Gongsun Yuan?" Adou took a deep breath and calmed down. At this time, Adou also appeared, and there were many doubts in this assassination.
Seeing that Adou had calmed down, Pang Tong continued: "Your Majesty, if Gongsun Yuan wants to assassinate Your Majesty, sending an assassin to disguise himself as an envoy is the stupidest move. Gongsun Yuan is far away in Liaodong, and there is not much overlap between our interests for the time being, and assassinating His Majesty will not do him Gongsun Yuan the slightest benefit, but will incur His Majesty's wrath. Such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself, how can Gongsun Yuan do it! ”
"Well, what does the teacher mean, someone blames Gongsun Yuan?" Adou asked.
"Yes, but not entirely. It is likely that someone wants to blame Gongsun Yuan, or it is possible that someone really wants to assassinate His Majesty, so it is just an opportunity for Gongsun Yuan's envoy to enter Beijing. ”
"Speaking of which, this time thanks to the teacher's early appearance. Teacher, how did you tell that these people were assassins? Adou asked.
"Hehehe......" Pang Tong had a smug smile on his face.
