The nights in Koto are much warmer than in the north.

One night later will be the day when he and Sun Shangxiang get married, and of course Cao Shuo must make some preparations.

instructed everyone to prepare for marriage, and feeling a little tired, he came to the small courtyard of the pavilion.

Only Chen Zhi was with Cao Shuo.

"The building is not as comfortable as living at home." Standing in the small courtyard, Cao Shuo said: "There is nothing in the courtyard here, if you are at home, you can still warm a pot of wine in the flower pavilion at this time, and enjoy the moon and drink." ”

"Childe has Yaxing." Chen Zhi said: "At this time, we are in Jiangdong, and there are people who plan to murder Gongzi all the time, and Gongzi can still think of drinking in the flower pavilion. ”

"I've lived so big, and there are so many people who want to murder me." Cao Shuo smiled: "But it has never been successful." ”

Chen to the head full of black lines.

Listening to Cao Shuo's tone, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with those who plotted against him.

Not a single successful ......

If there is success, where will there be today's generals and kings of the five states?

"I know that Childe is open-minded, but when he is in danger, he has to think about it." Chen Zhi said: "The villain next to him looks around, it's better to be cautious." ”

"You're right." Looking up at the courtyard wall, Cao Shuo said, "There should be guests coming to visit tonight." ”

"Tomorrow the son will get married." didn't quite understand what Cao Shuo meant, Chen Zhi said: "If anyone comes to visit tonight, it will really be an eye-opener." ”

"There are so many blind people in the world." Cao Shuo grinned at him: "Everyone is here, but Uncle Zhi doesn't know yet." ”

Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment and looked around.

The dark courtyard was empty, and no guards came to report that a visitor had arrived.

Cao Shuo pointed to the wall a little farther away and said to Chen Zhi, "The people are there." ”

Looking in the direction of Cao Shuo's finger, Chen Zhi really saw more than a dozen black shadows lurking on the wall.

The people on the wall found Cao Shuo pointing at them, and hurriedly took out their bows and arrows and shot them in their direction.

The arrows flew, and Chen Zhi dragged Cao Shuo and jumped behind a large water tank in the courtyard.

"There are assassins!" He shouted, "Come and protect Childe." ”

Zhao Yun and the others hadn't fallen asleep yet, and they ran out of the room when they heard the shouting.

When the Assassins on the roof saw someone running out, they turned their bows and arrows and shot them in their direction.

Wielding his long sword, Zhao Yun swept away the oncoming arrows and shouted, "Shield, protect the son back to the room!" ”

Several guards stepped forward with shields, lined up a shield wall to protect Cao Shuo and returned to the room.

Gan Ning, who was in charge of perimeter protection, came out later than Zhao Yun and the others.

Spotting that an assassin had broken in, he hurriedly instructed his soldiers: "Fence off the building for me, and don't let anyone go!" ”

Gan Ning's men ran out of the courtyard one after another and surrounded the building.

The assassins had a chance to escape, but they clearly had the intention of not backing down until they had completed their mission.

When the arrows were fired, they jumped off the wall, and there were as many as twenty or thirty of them.

In the room, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were in front of Cao Shuo, and Chen Zhi said: "Zilong is out alone, I am a little uneasy, go out and help him." ”

Cao Shuo nodded: "You go first, it's the same whether you want to live or not, I know who sent the assassin." ”

Chen Zhi arched his hand, drew his long sword and strode out of the room.

In the courtyard, Zhao Yun and his guards were already fighting with the assassins who rushed in.

Gan Ning also brandished his sword to join the warband.

Originally, he planned to help Zhao Yun and the others, but when he saw the people who were fighting, Chen Zhi stopped.

He also put his sword into the sheath and shouted to Zhao Yun and the others: "Gongzi said, if you want to live or not, he knows who sent the assassin." ”

Cao Shuo didn't want to live his mouth, and Zhao Yun and the others suddenly perked up.

Two groups of people fight, and there is still some difference between killing people and capturing people.

Capturing the opponent alive will inevitably take more effort than simply killing the opponent.

"Kill me!" As soon as Chen Zhi's shout fell, Zhao Yun roared, swung his long sword and slashed an assassin who rushed towards him to the ground.

The guards brought by Cao Shuo are all good at swordsmanship, although these assassins also have some skills, compared to the guards, they are more than a little bit worse.

The battle didn't last long, and when Gan Ning slashed the last assassin, everyone looked at each other and let out a laugh.

Hearing laughter from the courtyard, Cao Shuo walked out.

He asked Zhao Yun and the others, "Killed them all?" ”

"Returning to Gongzi, there is no one left, all of them have been killed." Zhao Yun replied.

"Liu Xuande is really." Cao Shuo smacked his lips and said: "If you want to kill me, he won't send some people who are really capable, and let these people come to die, wouldn't he be sorry for the families of these assassins?" ”

Gan Ning asked, "Childe, do you want to report to Marquis Wu?" ”

"Wu Hou should have fallen asleep." Cao Shuo said: "It's not too good to disturb him at this time. Why don't you send someone to inform Zhang Zhao, after all, Shiyuan came to Jiangdong, and it was Zhang Gong who received him, and it was easy to talk to him. ”

"I'll let someone report to Zhang Gong." Gan Ning responded.

Gan Ning instructed his soldiers to invite Zhang Zhao, while Cao Shuo crouched down in front of a corpse.

His hand reached into the corpse's mouth and picked at it, and when he took it out, he had some powder on his fingers.

"The assassin had a poison sac in his mouth." Cao Shuo said: "These are the real dead soldiers, and the thieves who intercepted the bride price cannot be compared with them at all." ”

"What does Childe mean ......," Chen Zhi asked Cao Shuo in amazement.

"It's not interesting." Cao Shuo grinned at him: "It's just that these two groups of people don't know each other, at least the people who intercepted the bride price are not dead." ”

"Do you want to tell Shi Yuan?" Zhao Yun asked Cao Shuo.

"No need." Cao Shuo said: "It's useless to tell them, let them worry a lot." General Gao and Shi Yuan didn't want to leave in the first place, and if they knew, they wouldn't know how they would quarrel with me. ”

Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, and neither of them mentioned sending someone to tell Pang Tong and Gao Shun.

Upon learning of Cao Shuo's assassination, Zhang Zhao hurried over.

Entering the pavilion, Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Shuo and a group of people standing there, and Gan Ning's subordinates had already surrounded the pavilion.

When he came to Cao Shuo, he made a big salute and asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi, can you be frightened?" ”

"Wouldn't I be too cowardly to be able to scare me by just an assassin." Cao Shuo said to Zhang Zhao with a smile: "I originally planned to inform Wu Hou, but it was too late, and I was afraid that it would delay his rest, so I could only disturb Zhang Gong." ”

"Childe's assassination in Wu County is because our people are ineffective." Zhang Zhao said: "I have already sent someone to report to Wu Hou just now, and he should be there later." ”
