Chapter Twenty-Four: The Assassination of Gao Yu (II)

Early the next morning, the people moved the bodies in the courtyard into the house, and then changed into clean clothes and acted as planned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and the group went out of Lin Chong's mansion and locked the door, so that at least half a day could be delayed for people to discover the secrets in Lin Chong's mansion, and this half day was enough time for Chao Chong to act.

rented a carriage outside, Chao Chong returned to the Taiwei Mansion with Gao Yanei, Chao Chong did not take such an obvious two-handed hundred knife, but threatened Gao Yanei with a short knife, at this time Gao Yu had already gone to the court, the doormen in the house were used to seeing Gao Yanei's late departure and early return, although it was strange that there was no group of gangsters around the Yanei, but they didn't dare to ask more.

After entering the mansion, Chao Chong pinched Gao Yanei's wrist with one hand and said: "Yanei's performance is very good, let me realize your sincerity, then next, let me go and see Taiwei's pressure sword!" ”

Gao Yanei knew that now was not the time to get out of trouble, so he lowered his head and rolled his eyes twice, and said, "Grandson, I'll take my grandfather to get the treasure knife, please come with me." ”

The Taiwei Mansion was triple inside and out, and the servants and maids who passed by saw Gao Yanei and all avoided asking for peace on both sides, bowing their heads and not daring to look. At a green railing, some of the roving guards walked back and forth. Chao Chong put the short knife on the yamen and said in his heart: "Didn't the yamen want to invite those soldiers to eat and drink?" If this is the case, I am afraid that what they will have to eat is the sacrificial wine in the ya. ”

Gao Yanei pursed his lips and said, "How can I have such a mind, grandpa don't make fun of me." ”

Suddenly, from the room opposite the green railing, a person walked out, dressed as a Taoist priest, with a long-sheathed sword on his back, followed by a group of strong men wearing ghost masks, saw Gao Yanei, and shouted: "Pan'er, where did you go to mess around last night!" ”

Gao Yanei said happily: "Third Uncle ......" suddenly felt that the sharp knife in the back of his heart had pierced his clothes, and the cold tip of the knife had pierced into the flesh, Gao Yanei was frightened, knowing that if he said the wrong thing, he would be killed immediately. So he was stunned on the spot, speechless for a while.

The Taoist on the other side of the railing saw that Gao Yanei was speechless, and sighed: "Forget it, the third uncle won't blame you, go back and rest early." It's just that when you go out in the future, at least say hello to your father, so as not to worry! The other party obviously took Gao Yanei's speechlessness as guilt.

Gao Yanei's mouth opened but he didn't dare to say more, for fear that Chao Chong would break him on the spot, so he lowered his head and walked into the house with an ugly face.

The man shook his head, said no more, and walked out with a group of ghost-faced men.

After entering the house, Chao Chong said, "Who is that person?" ”

Gao Ya said bitterly in his heart: "That person is my father's uncle and brother, named Gao Lian, I have always called him third uncle." When he was a teenager, he learned the art of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and his spells were strong, and he had three hundred flying divine soldiers under him, which was very powerful. ”

Chao Chong has experienced the time travel event, and he already believes a little bit in ghosts, ghosts, gods and gods, and there are many descriptions of this in the original book of the Water Margin.

Chao Chong quietly glanced at Gao Lian.

Name: Gao Lian (Demon Road)

Health: 1900/1900

Commander-in-Chief: 56

Force: 77

Intelligence: 84

Politics: 62

Charisma: 18

Affinity: Ignore

Traits: Crooked Ways (Interested in Evil Techniques and Putting Them into Practice)

Chao Chong still has some impressions of this Gao Lian, as soon as he arrived in Gaotang Prefecture as the prefect in the original book, he brought Chai into the family, and it seems that he can call the wind and rain, scatter beans into soldiers, summon fierce beasts, and there are three hundred flying gods under his command, which is very powerful, and looks like a spell demon who is greedy for power.

I don't know how a Taoist cultivator like Longhu Mountain can train such an outlier.

In this regard, Chao Chong has a cautious attitude, but the business is important, if it is not necessary, try not to have a head-on conflict with him, and save the variables.

Chao Chong saw Gao Yanei boasting about his incorruptible mana, so he said to Gao Yanei: "So what? ”

Gao Yanei said: "My third uncle loves me the most, so my grandfather took the treasure knife and took the money, so let my grandson go, otherwise...... My third uncle's spells are very powerful. ”

Chao Chong smiled: "I have my own decision in my heart, where is the treasure knife?" ”

After receiving Chao Chong's promise, Gao Yanei took Chao Chong into an underground secret room in Gao Yu's study, where gold, silver and jewelry were piled up. Take out a three-foot-long treasure knife, the flying fish skin scabbard is inlaid with gold and jade, gently pull out a section of the knife, the cold light is four thanks, just look at this momentum, it is a good knife!

Gao Yanei said: "This treasure knife has three good, the first one, chopping copper and iron, the edge of the knife is not rolled; the second, it's too fast; The third piece is that there is no dish on the murder knife. ”

If it weren't for the fact that he already had a two-handed hundred knives, Chao Chong would have liked to use this treasure knife as his usual weapon, and said: "I heard that Lin Chong's crime last year was to bring a knife into the White Tiger Hall by mistake, and that knife is also an ancestral treasure knife worth three thousand yuan, I don't know where it is now?" ”

Gao Yanei laughed and said: "It was my father who sent someone to pretend to be a seller and deceive Lin Chong with this pressure sword...... "Suddenly remembered Chao Chong's identity, his face turned pale and he was silent.

Chao Chong pulled out the treasure knife and played with two knives and said, "Do people often come to this secret room?" ”

Gao Yanei said: "Above here is my father's study, where my father often reads and entertains guests, except for my father and me, people dare not approach. ”

Chao Chong gently wiped the treasure knife, the blade was greasy, thinking that it had been carefully maintained, and said: "This knife really kills people without sticking to the dish?" ”

Gao Yanei said proudly: "Of course, this is what my father sent someone to snatch from a wealthy merchant five years ago, and it is said that ten people were killed in a row at that time......

Chao Chong smiled lightly, and with a wave of the blade, it crossed Gao Ya's inner neck, Chao Chong looked at the blade of the knife and sighed: "Sure enough, the drip dish is not sticky, good knife!" With that, he walked outside the secret room.

Gao Yanei's expression was still at the moment of boasting, and a moment later, a line of vessels appeared from his neck, and then the vessels sprayed out like ceremonial flowers, and the head fell backwards, and the corpse fell forward to the ground, falling between a field of gold, silver and jewelry.

Chao Chong returned the sword to its sheath, and after coming out of the underground secret room, he closed the door of the secret room. Vertical beam, lying on the roof more than one person thick beam, just to cover the figure, just waiting for Gao Yu to come back, one blow will be killed.

This morning, the court officials were in a good mood and spoke a lot in the court, so they delayed the time to retreat from the court.

Gao Yu said that he was in a good mood today, and a few days ago, the official family inspected the forbidden army, and was very interested in the horizontal rows of colorful boats during the army's bidding competition, and the hundreds of plays of the army. He specially praised himself a few words. In addition, he met his former friend Liu Zhongwu on the way, and they had a very happy conversation.

Although Gao Yu was corrupt and bribed, persecuted Zhongliang, and deceived the army like a juggler, as a result, the forbidden army of the Tokyo Palace Division was disheartened, and the combat effectiveness became less than five scum. However, Gao Yu also has merit, that is, know how to be grateful. Anyone who has kindness to himself, he takes great care of him after he has made his career.

Gao Yu worked as a scholar under Mr. Su Dongpo back then, and gradually made his career after being recommended by Mr. Dongpo. Therefore, he took great care of the disciples of the Su family, and whenever the children of the Su family entered the capital, they were very diligent in their pensions, which was praised by the times. Of course, this does not rule out the intention of making a name for himself.

Gao Yu was valued by Huizong and sent the frontier to gild, and Gao Yu's boss at that time was Liu Zhongwu, who was the border marshal at the time, Liu Zhongwu knew that Gao Yu was sent by the emperor to "gild", so he helped extraordinarily. It just so happened that when Gao Yu was at the border, the Great Song Dynasty won several battles at the border. So this became the capital for Gao Yu's promotion, and Huizong took advantage of the situation to transfer Gao Yu back to the central government, and gradually promoted him to the palace marshal and took charge of the forbidden army.

Therefore, Gao Yu is also very grateful to Liu Zhongwu. Not long ago, Liu Zhongwu had an accident, and in the spring of the fourth year of Zhenghe, Liu Zhongwu led an army of 100,000 to attack Zangdihe City in Western Xia, and returned defeated. In the words of "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of the Xia Kingdom", it is "Qin Feng's third general is all killed". But Liu Zhongwu bribed Tong Guan and Gao Yu, and Gao Yu also remembered Liu Zhongwu's care for himself back then, so he kept saying good things in front of the emperor, which exempted Liu Zhongwu from the death penalty. Moreover, Gao Yu also recommended Liu Zhongwu's son Liu Qi as a general. Later, this Liu Qi was brave and good at fighting, and made many meritorious contributions in the process of fighting Xia and resisting Jin. This is a matter of no further aside.

Liu Zhongwu secretly entered Beijing this time to thank Gao Yu and Tong Guan for saving their lives, and for this purpose, he also brought countless gold and silver treasures and pulled two large carts. Gao Yu is naturally in a good mood and smiles.

After entering the Taiwei Mansion, Gao Yu and Liu Zhongwu entered hand in hand, chatted happily, and met Gao Lian walking in the courtyard, so he asked, "Third brother, has Pan'er ever come back?" ”

Gao Lian said: "Pan'er came back an hour ago and went back to his room to sleep." ”

Gao Yu sighed and said, "This thing is not worry-free!" ”

Liu Zhongwu persuaded beside him: "Why should the captain be in a hurry, the child is too playful, and it is when he is innocent." After two years, when the child is sent to our army for some training, and he has some fame, the captain will naturally have peace of mind. ”

Gao Yu was also slightly moved, it seems that it is time to think about the time to make a name for him, civil officials need to be born as scholars, the management of the imperial court is too strict, and Pan'er seems to have no hope in this life. The army doesn't need much background, with his own connections, let him go out to gild, and when he comes back, he can directly hold an important position in the forbidden army.

Liu Zhongwu looked at Gao Lian and said, "I haven't seen it before, I don't know who this master is?" Gao Lian's cloak and appearance are more like demons than immortals, and Liu Zhongwu spoke too politely.

Gao Yu also pondered about seeking a position for his third brother, the civil service is not easy to take, and the military general route is worrying, so he also wanted Gao Lian to know more people, so he introduced Gao Lian to Liu Zhongwu, retreated, and the three of them entered the study to discuss in detail.

Entering the study and sitting down, before the maid brought the fragrant tea, Gao Lian frowned, snorted twice and said, "Where did the yin qi come from?" It seems to smell a little fishy! ”

Chao Chong, who was hiding on the beam of the study, was depressed, it was said that only an hour had passed, and the corpse in Gao Ya should not have a corpse smell, right, could it be that the sealing of the underground secret room was too poor, and some fishy smell was revealed, or rather, this Gao Lian really has some mana?

Although it is not yet the best time to assassinate, but if Gao Lian really has the power, the longer the time drags on, the easier it is to expose himself, and when he continues to suffer from it, thinking of this, Chao Chong turned over, rolled down from the beam, and the person was in mid-air, and the short knife in his hand fell out quickly, heading straight for Gao Yu's throat.

The sudden change made Gao Yu stunned on the spot, and Liu Zhongwu, a veteran of the battlefield, was also consumed by corruption, and he was at a loss for a while, only the demon Dao Gao Lian reacted wittily and pushed Gao Yu away.

Although Gao Lian's reaction was fast, Chao Chong's flying knife was not slow, although Gao Yu avoided the throat point, he was grazed by the flying knife on his cheek, and one of his right ears was cut off entirely.

Gao Yu, who was pushed to the ground by Gao Lian, felt that his cheeks and ears were hot, and then began to hurt, and when he touched his hand, he actually touched his ear, and his hands were full of dishes, Gao Yu screamed, and almost lost his breath.

Liu Zhongwu finally reacted, protected Gao Yu and shouted: "There are assassins, there are assassins!" ”

Chao Chong failed to kill Gao Yu with a flying knife, some regrets, he fell in mid-air, and saw that the demon Dao Gao Lian pushed Gao Yu away, and led from behind, a sword came out of the sheath, and stabbed at himself who was still falling.

Chao Chong twisted his body in mid-air, pulled out the Pressed Treasure Knife, held it with both hands, and slashed at the tip of the sword that Gao Lian stabbed. Swinging the sword body, Chao Chong landed on the ground with a slight bend of his legs, quickly popped out, and slashed towards Gao Lian, Gao Lian's horizontal sword blocked, and the huge force made him take two steps back.

Chao Chong's purpose is very clear, that is, to kill Gao Yu, so he didn't entangle Gao Lian too much, and rushed to Gao Yu who fell to the ground, Liu Zhongwu in front of Gao Yu was a military general after all, and he was somewhat forced, he pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "I'm here, Hugh the injured captain!" ”

Chao Chong didn't entangle with him, he shook his waist knife with a knife, got up early with his right foot, kicked it away, and exposed the trembling Gao Yu behind him.

Just as Chao Chong was about to raise his knife to kill, he suddenly heard the sound of the hidden weapon behind him, hurriedly lowered his head and flashed, and Gao Lian shouted: "Dark clouds!" ”

A black ball flying above Chao Chong's head landed and exploded with a bang, filling the room with black smoke and a smell of sulfur and saltpeter.

Although Chao Chong couldn't see the opposite scene clearly, he stabbed Gao Yu at his original location based on his impression, but he didn't want to stab him. Listening, there was a burst of footsteps and the sound of breaking down the door, no, they escaped from the house.

Chao Chong didn't think much about it, and with his impression, he rushed out of the house, encountered an obstacle, slashed with a knife, jumped out of the window, and looked inside the courtyard, Gao Lian held Gao Yu with his left hand, and Liu Zhongwu with his right hand and hid behind a group of ghost-faced people. When Gao Yu saw that he was safe, he remembered the hatred of breaking his ear, and scolded: "Kill him, chop him up for me and feed him to the dog!" ”

Those ghost-faced people quickly surrounded Chao Chong, Chao Chong could have fled immediately, but the current assassination effect, Chao Chong was very dissatisfied, if he wanted to become famous in one fell swoop, it was far from enough to cut off one of the old thief's ears!

Chao Chong cautiously observed these ghost-faced people around him, could it be that this was a cheap flying god soldier? There were at least forty or fifty people in the courtyard, and I saw that these ghost-faced people were wearing disheveled heads, wearing ghost masks of wrought copper, and leopard-print leather clothes; With a big gourd on his back, I don't know what it is for; Cover the heart armor, with bronze on both sides before and after, and the defense should be good; An iron hob grows like a broom, and its attack power seems to be quite strong.

Chao Chong said silently in his heart: "The spine of the knife is generous, and it is loaded with virtue; The blade is sharp, and the killing is ruthless; To the rigid to the yang, rather bend than bend; Ruthless and unrighteous, I am the only one! "What if the other side is outnumbered? What if the other party is strong? What I want to do, I must succeed! Whoever stands in front of me, kill him!

Chao Chong is accustomed to the two-handed long knife, although the pressure knife is sharp, but somewhat unaccustomed, holding the knife with both hands, the knife stabbed at a ghost-faced man in front of him, the ghost-faced man is not slow, sideways dodge, the iron hob on the Sensen knife teeth show the cold, if it is cut a knife, the serration on it will definitely be able to hit people hard, how can Chao Chong let him get his wish, use the mystery of "solving the cow", cut off the hand of the ghost-faced man holding the knife, cut the tendons, the iron hob in his hand can not hold the ground, Chao Chong slashed the blade, cut the throat of the opponent from the bottom up, The first person to be killed.

But what made Chao Chong a little concerned was that even if the person was killed, from beginning to end, he never made a sound, revealing a strangeness.

The other ghost-faced people will not let Chao Chong have time to rest, at the same time that Chao Chong killed one person, four ghost-faced people attacked from four directions, Chao Chong relied on his faster speed, dodged one person's blade head-on, flashed behind him, and used it as a shield to face the other three knives, the expected split did not appear, the iron hob slashed at the ghost-faced man in Chao Chong's hand, the shoulder knife was blocked by the shoulder armor, and the two knives in the Hun mouth were blocked by the heart armor and thick copper sheets.

Chao Chong borrowed a knife to kill people without success, but he didn't care, using it as a shield, the short body swung the knife and slashed at the leg of the person closest to him, the sharp knife cut off the person's entire thigh, the moss gushed out, but the person who fell to the ground did not say a word, the iron hob in his hand sprinted towards Chao like a spear, Chao Chong held a thousand catties of huge force in his hand, grabbed the ghost-faced man in front of him as easily as carrying a puppet, blocking in front of him, the iron hob pierced into the lower abdomen of the ghost-faced man in Chao Chong's hand without copper protection, a fatal blow.

Chao Chong secretly cursed and perverted, threw out the dead ghost-faced man in his hand, and faced the head of the ghost-faced man who fell to the ground, and the two collided with each other, bursting their brains together.

Suddenly, his back tightened, Chao Chong secretly said badly, a ghost-faced man bent down and hugged his waist, and a few other ghost-faced people around him also threw their iron hobs and rushed towards Chao Chong, which turned out to be sumo wrestling! If you are held by such a group of desperate people in the melee, it will be difficult to get out.

The pressure knife stabbed back and stabbed into the man's lower abdomen, but the hands on the waist not only did not let go, but wrapped more tightly, the knife stood upright, reflexively slashed, the man's arms fell, and before Chao Chong could relax, several other people wrestled together, hugging the waist of the waist, hugging the legs, hugging the head, and instantly Chao Chong was entangled by the four ghost-faced people.

Chao Chong also saw that the personal strength of these ghost-faced people could be regarded as sharp among the soldiers of the forbidden army, and more importantly, these people were not afraid of death at all, so far they had not heard a shout from these ghost-faced people. People often say that the horizontal ones are afraid of the flute, and the one who is afraid of the flute is not dead. These ghost-faced people are obviously a group of desperate guys, are they really the divine soldiers summoned by Gao Lian with witchcraft?

Taking advantage of the fact that Chao Chong was entangled and unable to move quickly, several ghost-faced people raised their knives and slashed at Chao Chong's head, not caring about the other ghost-faced people who were entanglement in Chao Chong's body.

At the moment of crisis, Chao Chong shouted: "Sweeping the knife mystery: break the army!" The whole body suddenly spun up like a spinning top, and the few knives that were cut were all borne by the ghost-faced people on Chao Chong's body, and after a while, several ghost-faced people were also thrown away, but after falling to the ground, they never got up again, and their front armor was split in half.

Chao Chong's spinning figure had just stopped, and his back suddenly hurt, and Chao Chong's knife swung back, kicking the sneak attacker away.

Gao Lian was kicked to the ground, using his hands and feet on the ground, crawling into the ghost-faced crowd, hehe sneered: "He is injured, the Flying Divine Soldier uses the Five Birds Divine Fire!" ”

Those ghost-faced people no longer entangled Chao Chong in close quarters, but took Chao Chong as the core, gradually retreated into a circle of about three zhang, picked up the big gourd from behind, pulled out the mouth of the gourd, pulled out the fire fold from his arms, and aimed at Chao Chong. Suddenly, a two-zhang long flame erupted from the gourd, rushing towards Chao Chong in the center of the circle, and more than thirty flames rushed out together, which was spectacular.

The flames were accompanied by thick smoke, and the smoke dissipated, Gao Lian thought that Chao Chong must have been burned to ashes, but he could look at it, except for a few burning ghost-faced corpses on the ground, how could Chao Chong's figure be?

Suddenly, Gao Yu shouted: "He's here!" ”

Chao Chong realized that things were not good, and he didn't care about his image, so he used his fast speed to stick to the ground like a dog planing into the crowd, and slashed at his main target, Taiwei Gaoyu!

Health: 1100/1400

Commander-in-Chief: 26

Force: 17

Intelligence: 86

Politics: 78

Glamour: 73

Affinity: Hatred

Trait: Treacherous (has a lot of experience in how to report to the emperor, and has been successful repeatedly)

Gao Yu is also very human, he can't care about the pain in his ears at the critical moment, and grabbed a person next to him to block him. Chao Chong stabbed the man in the mouth with a knife, but Gao Yu escaped because of this.

The person standing in front of Gao Yu was Liu Zhongwu, he really didn't expect Gao Yu to use him to block the knife, his mouth was wide open, and he tried to turn his head to look at Gao Yu behind him, but he didn't come up and died.

Chao Chong did not pull the knife out of Liu Zhongwu's body, but continued to stab the knife in, Gao Yu, who was hiding behind Liu Zhongwu, originally wanted to use his corpse as a shield and wait for Gao Lian's rescue, but he didn't want to hurt his ribs, and the treasure knife that stabbed through the corpse grazed the flesh under Gao Yu's ribs. Chao Chong shouted, "Ape fly!" The blade of the knife flew up with Liu Zhongwu's corpse, and the left arm of Gao Yu behind him was cut through the moss.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving ---- hundred people. +10 Brawn, +10 Charisma"

Chao Chong killed 37 people in the first battle of Erlongshan, 29 people in the second battle of Heidian, 11 people in the third battle of Lin Chong's house, and 100 people in the fourth battle of Gaoyu Mansion.

Chao Chong felt a burst of relaxation, his physical strength instantly returned to his peak, and he was about to continue to start under the great joy as a result of Gao Yu's life who fell to the ground crying bitterly, at this time a crossbow arrow Xie Lai, right in Chao Chong's arm, and then more crossbow arrows Xie Lai, Chao Chong hurriedly dodged, looking at the forbidden army who rushed to the backyard with bows and crossbows, Chao Chong secretly sighed a pity.

He is not afraid of anyone in close combat, but in the face of a large-scale bow and crossbow army, no matter how powerful a master is, he will hate him on the spot. There was no choice but to withdraw, grabbed a ghost-faced man as a shield, and fled towards the backyard to the north, where Chao Yang was responding.
