Chapter 565
Wu Liang set off with his last chance, Shi Jian stood on the city tower, watching Wu Liang's carriage slowly leave in the early morning sun, his brows a little tightened.
"It stands to reason that the envoys of the Qiang tribe should have arrived, but there is no trace of them so far! It seems that Zhao is in turmoil, and the Qiang people no longer take us seriously! Gao Shangzhi put on a cloak and covered his face, and suddenly stood behind Shi Jian.
"The king will subdue them one by one! Make them work for me! Shi Jian said firmly.
"What I'm most worried about now is Shi Min! His men and horses occupied Handan, where there was enough food and grass to support them for a long time, and hundreds of thousands of refugees could be used as soldiers, in case Shi Min rebelled, it would not be a good thing. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, Shi Min is still in Yecheng, as long as he doesn't leave, Wang Shicheng and Li Chang won't dare to mess around."
Shi Jian said, turned around and asked, "Why hasn't there been any news from the Xihua Marquis Mansion in the past few days?" What exactly is Shi Min doing? ”
Gao Shangzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know! Shi Min has been staying in the mansion for the past few days, and has not taken half a step, so I don't know what he is planning. ”
"More than a dozen of Zhang Bao's subordinates died on the street that day, presumably it must have been a good deed done by the people of Xihuahou Mansion!" Shi Jian put his hands behind his back and began to walk slowly down, Gao Shangzhi followed behind, and Shi Jian said: "We still don't know how many killers the Xihuahou Mansion has hidden in Yecheng!" The courtyard, which is not much bigger than the Ning Palace, why is it so difficult to enter! ”
"Your Highness, don't worry! Send someone to try it first! Look at the masters of Xihuahou Mansion, how capable they are! ”
"How do you try?" Shi Jian stopped, turned his head and asked.
"...... Tonight"
Gao Shangzhi crouched in Shi Jian's ear and muttered a few words, and Shi Jian nodded slightly.
......
At night, the streets of Yecheng are quiet, there is no movement, and occasionally the night breeze blows through the branches, taking away a slight "whoosh" sound.
The three black-clothed men took advantage of the night, sometimes over the wall, sometimes through the alley, and soon, came to the door of the Xihuahou Mansion.
"Third brother, didn't you say that there are people staring at the Xihuahou Mansion all the time? Why are we so cautious, but no one notices? One of the men in black said to the third child in the lead.
The third child looked around vigilantly and said, "Don't be careless! Let's go check it out first! ”
The three of them were about to turn around and go around to the alley next to them, but suddenly stopped, and a man in ragged clothes, wrapped in coarse cloth clothes, and with dirty hair, suddenly appeared not far away, and then sat down against the wall.
"When did this person show up!" The third asked in a low voice.
The person next to him shook his head and said, "I didn't see him at all just now!" I don't know ...... either."
I saw that the man glanced at them, did not panic at all, and pulled the clothes on his body, but his right hand was always wrapped in the robe, and he could not see anything in his hand.
"Keep walking, leave it alone!" The third said calmly to the other two.
The three of them continued to walk forward vigilantly, but each had quietly put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and the man bowed his head, neither dodging nor looking at them, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
Just when the three of them were still seven or eight steps away from the man, suddenly, an arrow "swished" in front of the three people, and it was only a little more than a foot away from the third child's foot.
The three of them were taken aback, took two steps back, and quickly looked around, and on the opposite wall, another figure appeared, and by the moonlight, it was vaguely seen that the person was holding a bow and arrow, facing them.
"What people!" The third asked in a low voice.
"Who are you! What is the big night sneaky doing here? The man sitting on the ground suddenly raised his head and asked.
The third child frowned slightly, obviously, they had been completely exposed, and as for when they were discovered, the three of them had no way of knowing.
"Third brother, what should I do?" The person next to the third child asked in a low voice.
"It's all here, you can't just go back!" The third looked at the archers on the wall, and said to the two, "Try their skills!" ”
"Good!" The other two nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the third child's right hand, which was originally held at his waist, suddenly threw it at the man, and the man instinctively turned over and rolled into the grass next to him, and with a "bell" behind him, a dart was nailed to the wall.
As soon as the third child made a move, the three of them quickly dodged, and the archers on the wall released their arrows for the first time, but they still failed to shoot them.
An arrow pierced the position where the third child was standing, and at the same time, five or six people came out of the alley one after another, blocking the way for the three people.
The three of them looked at the front and back vigilantly, and the dirty man finally showed his right hand, and what he held in his hand was a cold and shining knife.
"Take it!" The man said very calmly.
At the sound of an order, five or six people with sharp blades rushed towards the third child, and the three of them did not dare to be careless, so they hurriedly stood together back to back and drew out the knife at their waists.
A group of people were scuffling together, the third and the others were the assassin killers that Shi Jian relied on the most, although the other party had an advantage in numbers, but they couldn't take the three men in black, the man who had been standing in place, was obviously a little surprised by this.
The sword and sword, the two sides fought back and forth, but they couldn't take advantage, and the man watching the battle finally couldn't help but make a move.
"Third brother, be careful!" A voice suddenly shouted.
The third child subconsciously opened more, but was pushed by someone, and heard the sound of "bell" behind him, and then, the third child felt that a person had hit him.
The third child hurriedly looked back, and the short knife in the sixth hand was knocked to the ground, and his hand seemed to be injured.
"It's okay, six!" The third asked.
"This bunny has attacked us!" The sixth child glanced at his arm and said resentfully.
A group of people surrounded these three people, and the third knew that if they continued to fight, they would never have a chance to get out, so they whispered to the two people beside them: "Withdraw!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the three of them took out a handful of lime powder from their arms at the same time, and sprinkled it vigorously, and suddenly it was white, so the three brothers took the opportunity to jump, jumped on the wall, and then disappeared into the night.
"Brother Hong, chase or not!"
"No, you don't! I can't figure out the details of the other party, don't chase after the poor, we shouldn't expose it! Remove! The dirty man said.
At the same time, in King Ning's Mansion, there were also two black-clothed people standing in the courtyard of King Ning's Mansion, each holding a long knife, staring at Shi Jian standing at the door, and these two people were Wang Chong and Shi Min.
The arrival of the man in black seemed to be completely unexpected by Shi Jian, but he still did not panic, stood at the door, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "Why are you two coming to my Ning Palace?" ”
Shi Min and Wang Chong didn't pay attention to Shi Jian at all, and rushed over with knives, and at this time, suddenly two people stood up from behind Shi Jian, also holding weapons, but Shi Min and Wang Chong did not stop.
"Looks like they've already made arrangements!" Wang Chong said in a low voice.
"Try it!" Shi Min said.
Shi Jian took a step back, and two of his subordinates brandished their swords to meet them, fighting Shi Min and Wang Chong. Originally, Shi Jian didn't take these two people seriously, but when these two people fought with his subordinates, after only two rounds, Shi Jian saw the clue.
"Your Highness, these two are not ordinary masters!" Wrapped in a cloak and covering his face, Gao Shangzhi stood beside Shi Jian and said.
"This king can also see it!" Shi Jian said.
As soon as the words fell, one of Shi Jian's own subordinates was knocked to the ground, so three more people rushed up to help, obviously, the remaining five masters in Shi Jian's mansion all came.
"Your Highness thinks, who sent these people?" Gao Shangzhi asked.
"Maybe it's Zhang Bao's remnants, who came to avenge their master!" Shi Jian said without panic.
"Although the old man doesn't know martial arts, he can also see that we can't take the two of them!"
As soon as the noble words fell, only a scream of "ah" was heard, and one of Shi Jian's subordinates was slashed in the chest by Shi Min, and he immediately fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. And Wang Chong also injured his arm, leaning on Shi Min tightly, not daring to separate.
Shi Jian's face changed suddenly, and he turned around to go into the house to get his sword, but Shi Min and Wang Chong no longer intended to entangle, sprinkled a handful of lime powder, and took the opportunity to retreat, climbed over the courtyard wall and ran.
"Chase!" The man in the lead shouted.
"Stop!" The noble voice shouted hoarsely.
"Your Excellency!" The boss is obviously unwilling.
"What about you catching up? Our losses will only be greater! Gao Shangzhi said, walked up, looked down at Lao Qi, who couldn't afford to be seriously injured, and said, "This person is too powerful!" You're no match for either of them! ”
Shi Jian rushed out with a sword, but saw that the other party had already withdrawn, and asked, "What about people!" ”
Gao Shangzhi squatted on the ground, and while checking Lao Qi's wounds, he said, "Ran away!" I told them not to chase it! ”
After speaking, Gao Shangzhi stood up and said to his subordinates with an unchanged face: "Hurry up and carry him down for treatment, maybe you can save his life!" ”
