Chapter 404: A Strand of Hair
The moment he landed, the surging ghostly light had already hit his face, and the assassin seemed to expect Liu Yong to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and attack, and immediately blocked it with his sword.
In a piercing sound of metal tearing, the short sword in the assassin's hand was cut off in an instant, and the extremely sharp blade continued to slash unabated.
A startled sound was heard in the darkness, and it was clear that the assassin had not expected Liu Yong to have a knife in his hand.
Within a stone's throw away, the life and death of the assassin was in Liu Yong's hands, but the blade that was about to cut through the enemy's throat withdrew an inch back at the moment of life and death.
Liu Yong didn't plan to kill the other party, but wanted to keep a living mouth and torture who was behind the scenes. However, this temporary withdrawal made him almost exhaust all his strength. Originally, it turned out to be countless times more difficult to see those heroic masters in martial arts dramas to make normal moves, which is really a trick. also completely exposed his martial arts foundation in front of his opponents. But the opponent has no weapons, and Liu Yong is not too worried.
At that moment, the four eyes met, and there was a strange feeling.
However, at this moment of mercy from his men, the assassin caught a flaw with great dexterity, stared at him fiercely, turned sharply, and fled towards the door in a few steps.
"Where to run!"
Xuan Yue swept out again, although the knife was fast, but the assassin's body was even lighter, and he only delayed for a moment before he was free from the control of the blade. The cold light only cut off a strand of hair floating next to the assassin's face, and by the time Liu Yong chased him to the door, the assassin was gone.
Liu Yong had some regrets about getting rid of the assassins, but he didn't regret it.
By the light of the moon, he leaned down and picked up the broken strand of hair that had fallen to the ground. It is as black as ink, as soft as silk, and faintly, there seems to be a faint fragrance.
Liu Yong suddenly seemed to sense something, and returned to the house to sniff around, and sure enough, there was a strange fragrance left by the assassin everywhere.
"It turned out to be a woman...... "Holding the wisp of green silk, Liu Yong's eyes were full of suspicion.
Smelled it again, there was indeed a fragrance on the hair in his hand, and there was a faint fragrance in the room, Liu Yong had also seen many women's perfumes in later generations, especially among female classmates and female colleagues, he had seen countless perfumes of various flavors, and he was also considered to have some experience, he was sure that what he smelled was the smell of gouache and rouge used by women. It's just that the smell of this assassin is very light, not as strong as the perfume of later generations, if he hadn't cut off a strand of the other party's hair, I'm afraid that even he would be difficult to detect.
Liu Yong carefully recalled the details of the fight with the assassin, originally he was still surprised by the assassin's body, he could barely walk without making a sound, but now that he thinks about it, it is not that the assassin's martial arts are really like this, but that the other party is clearly a woman with a light body, so she was born with such a light body.
"Who is it that wants to murder me? And he sent a female assassin to ......"
While Liu Yong was thinking, there was a lot of noise outside, and the movement of the fight woke everyone up. After a short time, a large group of people rushed over. Zhang He was the first to arrive with a gun, followed by those servants and maidservants, who were dumbfounded when they saw the sparsely chopped bed.
Zhang He and the others hurriedly glanced at Liu Yong carefully, it was not that they were rude, they were too afraid that Liu Yong would make the slightest mistake, otherwise the ending that greeted them would be extremely miserable, even Zhang He couldn't hide from it.
After making sure that Liu Yong was indeed not injured, everyone put their minds at ease and hurriedly asked for the guilt and asked about the incident.
"It's nothing, just infiltrated an assassin who wanted to kill me, and I have already beaten him away." Liu Yong explained to everyone as easily as drinking saliva, and hid the strand of hair in his arms.
Zhang He and the others did not need to mention their worries and self-blame, just said that those people sent by Sun Quan, although they confessed to let them spy on Liu Yong, but at the same time, they also told them that this young man was a distinguished guest, not only to serve him, but also to ensure his safety, especially after Zhao Yun had just left with his troops, the object of protection was assassinated by the assassins under their noses, which was a little intriguing, which naturally immediately made these subordinates panic. However, this kind of fault finding thing naturally does not need Liu Yong to do it personally, Chen Zhen, Zhuge Liang and Zhang He are enough.
The originally dark and quiet pavilion soon became brightly lit, and the servants began to dig three feet into the ground, searching for the Assassin in all directions, in case they were still hidden in the building, and even the brigade of guards outside was mobilized to search the nearby streets.
After such a toss, it was almost dawn in the blink of an eye, and when the east was white, Lu Fan and Zhang Zhao, who heard the news, hurried to the pavilion one after another. Zhang Zhao's gray beard kept shaking, panting, obviously frightened.
As soon as Zhang Zhao met, he asked with great concern: "General Liu, how are you doing, have you ever been injured by the assassin?" Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look at General Liu again? ”
Liu Yong suddenly heard Zhang Zhao's change in his name, shook his head and smiled: "Thank you Mr. Zibu for your concern, but my Liu Yong's life is very hard, how can an assassin hurt me." ”
"That's good, General Liu is fine." Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Zibu, I don't know if Wu Hou can return to Moling today, should he still be patrolling and not returning?" With the assassin matter, Liu Yong was sure that Sun Quan would not dare to delay it any longer, Liu Yong knew that his life was now very valuable, and if it was a little worse, let alone Sun Quan himself, I am afraid that the entire Jiangdong would not be able to afford it.
Next to him, Lu Fan patted his head and said with a sneer: "I almost forgot about this matter, don't hide it from the general, my lord just returned to Moling last night, and he wanted to invite General Liu to the military mansion for a while." ”
Liu Yong smiled faintly and said nothing, and Lu Fan wiped the sweat on his forehead again.
Soon, Liu Yong met the legendary "blue-eyed child" Sun Zhongmou.
Liu Yong looked at Sun Quan with an indifferent smile on his face, and waited for a few days, and at this moment he finally saw the true face of the lord of Jiangdong.
It was a burly young man, about his own age, with an angular face, a purple-yellow beard, and at first glance what looked like burnt hair.
His appearance is not handsome, and it can even be said that he is a little mixed-race weird, but his eyes are bright, full of manly masculinity, and even more arrogant.
The blue eyes in front of him are not much different from the image Liu Yong's imagination, and the slightly immature face is full of nobility, but in the eyebrows, there is a deep depth that is not similar to his age.
