Chapter 408: The Assassin's Hope
After all, Cui's house is not an ordinary family, even in normal times, slaves can not carry swords and medicinal materials that cannot be explained the source and use, before the emperor came, he conducted a thorough search, first self-inspection, and then the palace and the court each checked again, and even a needle was not allowed to be placed at will.

The Assassin Ah Zhen had no weapons and no poison.
She stood up, smiled all over her face, looked lovingly at the child she had just cared for for less than three days, and picked up a wooden sword beside her, which was a toy, no more than two feet long, light and fluttering, and looked harmless.
She walked towards Cui Ge, and at the same time approached the emperor beside the child, as if she was just about to hand over the wooden sword, and the four-year-old Cui Ge was talking to the emperor about the strategy of suppressing the bandits, and he really needed this sword to show his identity.
Han Ruzi had long heard that this was Cui Ge's familiar words, and he changed it to an adult, this is a nasty fraud, which happened to children, but it was just ridiculous, and a little surprising, after all, this set of words is quite complicated, and Cui Teng may not be able to remember word for word, but Cui Ge can speak very methodically, as if he can really understand the meaning.
“…… In the past, the suppression of bandits always led to the advance of the bandits and the retreat of the bandits, and as soon as the officers and soldiers withdrew, the bandits returned to their hometowns. Officers and soldiers always make a big show of bandits, for fear that the world will not know. Soldiers and soldiers are treacherous, but when officers and soldiers suppress bandits, they are often stubborn and publicize in advance, giving the bandits time to prepare......"
Han Ruzi was really a little moved, and planned to ask Cui Teng afterwards who had prepared this anti-bandit strategy.
Now he won't say anything, but smiles and nods his head in appreciation, and for some reason, he suddenly turned his head and saw the nurse a few steps away.
The emperor was the first to recognize the assassin, this was not a very clear thought, but an intuition, there was no reason, he suddenly felt that the woman who walked within ten steps of him, her movements were unnatural, her eyes looked at the child, and the afterglow seemed to glance at herself, this was extremely impolite behavior, and it should not have happened to the servants of the Cui Mansion.
It was not the emperor who was the first to react.
Not to mention Cui Teng, he also saw the nurse, he didn't care, waved his hand, and signaled her not to come over now, but Ah Zhen continued to take the next step as if he didn't see it.
It's not Zhang Youcai, his eyes are only on the emperor, and he doesn't notice the abnormality of the nurse at all.
The first person to react was the only guard in the house.
This guard's skills are not the strongest, he can follow the emperor for two reasons, one is that he has a clean background, he has practiced martial arts in the Su Guard Army since he was a child, and after he grows up, he is selected as a guard, and belongs to the most trustworthy group of people, and the other is that he is good at fist and foot kung fu, he does not need to carry weapons, and he is not so dazzling when he stands next to the emperor.
He recognized the Assassin a little later than the Emperor, but for a clear reason: the way the nurse held her sword and the pace she walked indicated that she had practiced martial arts.
It's a pity that the guards didn't do it immediately, but hesitated, thinking that this was another trick done by Cui Ergongzi.
In an instant, the nurse took another step, and was close enough to the emperor.
The guards pounced on him, not the assassin, but the emperor, this was the duty of the guard, and when it was most dangerous, he had to protect him.
For this assassination, Yun Mengze sacrificed dozens of good hands, Ah Zhen didn't want to fail, couldn't fail, didn't dare to fail, she still had a smile on her face, but the sword in her hand used all her strength, the wooden sword had no edge, and she could only make up for it with strength.
The guard was hit by the sword in his face, but did not dodge, but stretched out his hands to hold the sword body, opened his mouth to shout "help", Ah Zhen slapped out another palm, right in the guard's head, the guard's head tilted, took a few steps back, fell to the ground, the wooden sword left his chest, and blood gushed out.
Cui Teng, Cui Ge's uncle and nephew were completely stunned, unable to understand the scene in front of them, how the gentle and amiable nurse suddenly changed her appearance, and she could kill people with a wooden sword!
Han Ruzi had never learned martial arts seriously, and at the critical moment, his reaction was not much different from that of ordinary people, raising his right arm to block in front of him, and retreating step by step.
Ah Zhen stabbed with a sword, and Han Ruzi turned sideways to get out of the way, not because he was more agile than the guards, but because he didn't have to protect others, he didn't need to meet the wooden sword, because the guards blocked, and the distance between him and the assassin was a little farther.
Ah Zhen stepped in pursuit, and with Cui Ge in between, she subconsciously bypassed and stabbed another sword at the emperor.
If it weren't for the blood stains on the wooden sword, it would have looked like a child chasing and playing.
The room was surprisingly quiet, no one squeaked, didn't even dare to breathe, as if falling into the water, and could only watch two people circling in circles.
At this time, it was most necessary for someone to shout "help" and call the guards outside, but the only one who could do this had already fallen to the ground, and the rest, including the emperor himself, forgot that he could still scream.
"Ah-" The first person to shout was Zhang Youcai, who had fantasized countless times that if the emperor was in danger, how would he sacrifice himself to save him, but at this moment, he found that his body did not obey the call, as if he was pressed by layers of thickness, unable to turn over, and even felt difficult to breathe.
But he finally broke free from his restraints and pounced on the assassin properly.
Ah Zhen was preoccupied, and with just one step, she knew that with just one step, she could kill the emperor and complete the task that had been carefully prepared for months.
She didn't look at the person who pounced at all, and slapped it with a palm of her hand, and the eunuch flew out upside down and fell down.
But she was too "preoccupied", circling around Cui Ge, treating the child as an insurmountable and insurmountable obstacle, she took care of the child for a long time, and had no feelings, just because she didn't do it at the first moment, and then forgot that there were other options.
Zhang Youcai's pounce failed to stop the assassin, but it had some effect, breaking the drowning silence in the room.
"Thorn, assassin!" Cui Teng shouted hoarsely, roared, and pounced, contrary to Zhang Youcai's choice, it was not the assassin who pounced, but the emperor, who wanted to learn from the guards to protect him.
He didn't notice the little nephew, who passed by Trig and brought the child down, but he didn't pounce on the nimble emperor and fell to the ground.
Sitting on the ground, Tregg burst into tears.
Ah Zhen finally came to her senses, she didn't need to go around in circles at all, she could rush directly to the emperor.
Han Ruzi also understood that he had no way to escape, he couldn't outrun the assassin, so he could only take a hard move.
Facing the master's sword, Han Ruzi had no way to dodge at all, only felt a sharp pain in his chest, but did not fall down immediately, and casually swung a punch into the assassin's cheek.
Ah Zhen also used a palm, before the fist hit her, and knocked the emperor back step by step.
This palm failed to kill the emperor, and even knocked the emperor down, Ah Zhen suddenly remembered that Zhang Qinyan had reminded himself that the emperor had probably been cultivating the internal skills of Yishi Island, and then glanced at the wooden sword in his hand, only to find that the sword head had been damaged, and it was already blunt, and it was almost a flat head at this time.
She threw away the bloodstained wooden sword, and even with her bare hands, she was sure to kill the emperor.
She jumped up, focusing on months of lurking, the sacrifice of dozens of good hands, and the future of Yun Mengze's group of thieves, and with a single palm, she could crack the emperor's skull.
She jumped up, but she wasn't free.
Cui Teng, who was tripped by his nephew and didn't pounce on the emperor, rolled around on the ground, happened to see the feet in front of him, and without saying a word, he immediately reached out and grabbed it, sat up with his strength, hugged one leg tightly, and shouted: "Assassin!" ”
Even at this time, Ah Zhen still has a smile on her face, but she can no longer keep her composure, the opportunity is fleeting, there are many guards outside, and a few more people come in, she alone is by no means an opponent, she has already delayed the fighter, and she can't drag it out any longer.
can't delay time, so I have to drag people, Ah Zhen struggled to take a step forward, Cui Teng is a big man, and he can't drag her with all his strength.
The room is not big, Ah Zhen took another step, and when she arrived in front of the emperor, the last smile on her face disappeared, she had killed people, and she had made all the preparations, but assassinating the emperor was still more difficult than she expected, she didn't understand, the emperor was also a human being, and he was also flesh and blood, why did she feel nervous before? Why are you tied up with a child?
Now she wouldn't make any more mistakes, the emperor she saw was just a pale-faced young man, no taller and stronger than ordinary people, not to mention those martial arts masters who had studied hard for many years.
She stretched out her arms, ignoring the emperor's clumsy obstruction, and grabbed her neck, her hands straining.
Ah Zhen had a pain in her leg, probably bitten by Cui Er, she didn't care, continued to exert force, and watched the pale face turn red sharply.
Immediately afterwards, there was a pain in her lower back, which was a fatal injury, and Ah Zhen felt that her strength was disappearing rapidly, but she refused to let go, gritted her teeth and insisted.
The third pain came from the neck, the most short, Ah Zhen's eyes were dilated, he couldn't tell whether he was exerting himself or letting go, he could only concentrate on the last bit of energy, staring at the emperor's eyes, hoping to see the signs of death, hoping that all his efforts were not in vain, hoping to be worthy of the entrustment of many colleagues in the rivers and lakes, hoping to ......
Meng E came out of the window from the upper floor, and after landing on the ground, she walked quickly and ran to the place where the emperor and others were, startling the guards and entourage waiting at the door.
The distance was not very far, but Meng E didn't know the way, and after looking for a while, she saw a team of eunuchs, palace maids and guards.
"The assassins are by your majesty's side!" Meng E shouted.
Wang He turned to look at Meng E, his first reaction was to be vigilant, and then he pulled out his knife, thinking that this palace maid had finally revealed his true face, he was one of the very few guards who could carry a knife.
At that moment, there was a loud cry from the room, followed by two "assassin" shouts, so sharp and distorted that it was impossible to tell whose mouth it was coming from.
The people in the room felt that everything was as slow as swimming underwater, and to the people outside, it was only a matter of a moment, Wang He was the first to rush into the house, followed by Meng E, followed by a large group of guards.
The assassin was killed, and the emperor also fell limply, and Meng E took the lead and hugged him.
Everyone's hearts sank, and when noon was approaching, they felt that it was dark. (To be continued.) )
