Chapter 172: Planting

Xi Dongzan took a Jinpa, looked at it, put it in front of his eyes, sniffed it, looked at the people, and asked unhurriedly.

"How did your master know I was here?"

"If you return to your nobles, it is the Zhangxiong people who guard the city and tell our master." Xiao Wu bent down and replied respectfully.

"Does she still live there?"

"Yes, the master said that the nobles can go over whenever it is convenient."

Xi Dongzan smiled, took Jinpa into his arms, stepped forward, and pressed Xiao Wu's shoulders with both hands.

"Go back and tell your master, tonight, I'll go."

After nightfall, Xi Dongzan went out with dozens of entourage, and those local patrols, after checking his waist card, were all consciously released, although they were not local chiefs, the identity of the Tibetan nobles still had a considerable deterrent power.

The group rode to a neighborhood not far from the palace, where the dark streets were deserted, and the houses on both sides were pitch black, except for a courtyard in front of them, where torches were lit and swayed in the wind.

Xi Dongzan instinctively felt a chill.

"Your honor, shall we go in?"

"You're knocking on the door and seeing if they're there?"

His subordinates led people into the alley, he slowed down his horse's pace, and hung behind them at the distance of the two horses' bodies, this feeling was purely an instinct on the battlefield, and there was no reason, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe that the woman would be any disadvantage to him, after all, he had always been quite careful.

Soon, his people came to the gate of the courtyard, the subordinate dismounted and knocked on the courtyard door, it was Xiao Wu who opened the door, he looked at the people and the horse team behind, and asked: "What about the nobles?" ”

"After."

From behind him, his subordinates saw the Tubo woman standing under the eaves at a glance, and turned his head to signal to the person behind him, everything was as usual.

Xi Dongzan jumped off his horse and handed it to his men, laughing secretly at whether he was a snake shadow or not, and walked in the direction of the gate.

"Is that him?" Aggressively nodded, his eyesight was good, and across a roof, he recognized his target when the other party had just walked to the door.

"You shoot the first arrow, as a signal to attack."

Liu Ji commanded, covered his face with a black cloth, only showed a pair of eyes, and held the short knife in his hand with his backhand, the blade of which had been processed and would not shine at night.

After doing all this, he bent his waist, almost against the roof, and slowly moved forward, poking his head out from the edge of the roof little by little, and below was the figure of the Tubo people, a total of more than twenty people, all on horseback.

And surrounded by these Tubo people, is a young Tubo man, said young, of course, compared with others, he knows that that person is Xi Dongzan, who has passed by several times and has never met.

This is Zeng Jiuniang's condition, which surprised Liu Ji and puzzled him even more.

It's too much like a trap, but in the end he decided to accept it, and made a plan for it, only the two of them did it, Chen Jin and the other two were on the periphery, just in case, both of them had their own escape routes, and they would not rely on women.

One hit and go, hit or miss.

From the open courtyard gate, Xi Dongzan saw a familiar woman, still with such a charming smile, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Watching him approach step by step, Zeng Jiuniang's smile became more and more vigorous, this sudden enthusiasm made him feel a little strange, in the past, this woman was always a little detached from herself, and she had never been so active.

Doubts slowed his pace, and that inexplicable vigilance arose, and at that moment, a faint sound, crossed his ears, very much like the sound of a cloth being torn.

Xi Dongzan's reaction was very fast, and he immediately made a backward movement, only to hear a "poof", and a feather arrow was inserted into his shoulder, if there was no such action, what should have been shot into was the position of the heart.

Liu Ji rushed down from the roof, the short knife in his hand penetrated through his body, like a black bat, from hitting to drawing the knife, before everyone could react, he had already climbed the courtyard wall and climbed up, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

"Enemy attack!" His men shouted loudly, and at the same time flew forward, and pounced on Xi Dongzan's body at once.

At the same time, the rest of his men drew their swords and protected them around them, and Xi Dongzan helped his men to stand up and glared at the woman under the eaves.

The woman's smile did not change in the slightest, let alone panic or helplessness, only the man named "Little Five" stood in front of her.

"Want my life? Come on, come on! The woman's attitude made him feel worse than the pain on his body, and Xi Dongzan roared and gave an order: "Catch her and kill everyone here." ”

Just before his men rushed into the house, the woman turned and retreated, and even Xiao Wu didn't do anything to stop it, and Xi Dongzan felt a little wrong again.

"Your nobleman, your injury?" His men were still tightly in front of him, sealing the angle at which the arrow had come from.

"I don't care."

Xi Dongzan pulled out the feather arrow, and made an astringent grinding sound, it turned out that under his robe, covered with double layers of iron armor, the arrow only pierced the first layer, and was caught on the other layer, and the knife on the back was also not deep in the flesh, and even the blood did not ooze much.

The moment his people stepped into the house, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out of it, these well-equipped Zhangxiong soldiers, were not ordinary defenders, but palace guards!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves broke through the silence of the night, and the surroundings of the house were rapidly approached by a group of firelight, and listening to the sound of hooves, Xi Dongzan's uneasiness reached its climax.

Because it was the Tibetan cavalry, he seemed to have fallen into a trap.

The men who rushed into the house retreated step by step, and behind them were two women, one of whom was naturally the one who invited him, and the other dressed in the traditional local costume, looking like an old woman, but his heart sank.

The old woman has been comforting the woman constantly, and the woman who has been smiling and silent, with an elegant expression, is snuggling up to the woman's side at the moment, the corners of her mouth are white, and her expression is frightened.

"Xi Dongzan, you want to kill all the people here, I heard you right."

The old woman's voice was not high, and her tone was flat, but there was an unquestionable majesty.
