At the moment when he was about to die, the desire to survive was amazing, and the moment before the knife came to his face, Su Heng instantly erupted, tilting his body at an extremely tricky angle, and the blade slashed against his scalp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The inevitable knife actually failed, and the man was stunned for a few breaths.

And in just a few breaths, Zhao Jinyu's eyes in the rear burst with light, pinched the broken sword, and stabbed the man's heart fiercely.

The distance between the two was too close, so close that the man obviously felt a deadly crisis, but he couldn't dodge.

"Hmmm......"

The middle-aged man's face changed, his eyes were blood-red, and a low groan came out of his mouth, pain, and there was only one word in his mind.

Feeling as if his heart had been cut open, the man thought like this, he didn't have the strength to care about Zhao Jinyu and Su Heng anymore, just let him push himself away.

The man fell back weakly, he was unwilling, he wanted to stand up, and in the end, he supported his body with a knife, and the scenes and echoes in his mind kept flashing.

Is there no hope for revenge......?

Those corrupt officials...... Is it still at large......?

Can't you see the day of the revival of the rebels......?

Hehe, I'm so unwilling......

Iron pillar, you have to stand up, because you are a man......

Not...... I'm sorry brother...... I couldn't hold on...... It's true...... Good bye... Finish...

The middle-aged man finally lost consciousness, at the last moment, he was so unwilling, so desperate, until he died, he still supported his body with the scimitar in his hand, although he died, he had no regrets, a good man, he was always standing.

As soon as the middle-aged man died, the dead soldiers who were besieging Chen De outside roared in unison, desperately slashing at Chen De with knives, but they seemed a little futile and powerless, and they could only be killed by Chen De one by one in the end.

A fight finally ended, the room was filled with a strong smell of disgusting blood, Su Heng walked to the man's corpse, looked at the wide bull's eyes, and sighed slightly, what made him so unwilling? Su Heng couldn't help but touch the man's belt and took out a waist card.

There are three carved big characters on the waist card, Xuanyi Army.

Rebel......?

The Xuanyi Army, rising in the Jiangnan area of the Chu State, because of dissatisfaction with the local corrupt officials oppressing the people, there was a rebellion under the instigation of some well-intentioned people, and for a time swept the land of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, shocking the entire Great Chu, and then suppressed by the imperial court.

The so-called Xuanyi Army is a peasant uprising composed of some orphans of small countries and some poor people who were destroyed by Great Chu during the period of chaos, and they all have a common goal, that is, to destroy the entire Great Chu!

"Your Highness, we have to speed up our pace, we can't be passive, the reason why Zhao Yue dared to assassinate us unscrupulously tonight is because we have a weak foundation, he has the strength to kill us, but we don't have the strength to retaliate against him."

Not affected too much by this fight, Su Heng analyzed very calmly, as a strategist, no matter where he is, he must always keep a sober and calm mind.

Su Heng thought for a while, and then said to Chen De: "Gonggong Chen, you go and investigate again to see if there are any clues, although I guessed that it was Zhao Yue, I still have to confirm it." ”

……

Zhao Yue's mansion is luxurious and beautiful.

The wind howled wildly, and the half-hidden mahogany windows rattled.

Zhao Yue closed the window indifferently, and asked without looking back, "How was last night's incident handled?" ”

Standing behind Zhao Yue was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, wearing a washed white black robe, with many wrinkles on his clothes, looking like an ordinary poor person. Facing Zhao Yue's question, he lowered his head and responded respectfully: "Your Highness Qiqi, although we have done a clean finish, we still left a little clue, which made Chen De's old lady feel a little bit of it. ”

Zhao Yue nodded after hearing this, and said, "Even if they don't leave a trace, Xiao Jiu, they should guess that I made people do it, but that chess piece should have already fallen, right?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded respectfully: "Your Highness, rest assured, the chess pieces have been successfully dropped, and they will definitely work wonders in the future." ”

Zhao Yue nodded with satisfaction, everything he did last night was for two points, one was to mess up all the normal logic, and then drop the chess piece perfectly, and the other was to vent his anger and warn, he has always been eager to revenge, last time he was slapped in the face by Zhao Jinyu in the palace, revenge is inevitable; However, he never thought of killing Zhao Jinyu in Shouyang City, otherwise there would not be so many killers who went last night.

After all, a successful assassination attempt and a failed assassination attempt, although both are assassinations, the impact can be very different.

And Zhao Jinyu has always been unfavored, and this assassination may not attract too much attention from his father, and after a long time, people will naturally forget about it.

The group of people who were assassinated last night was Zhao Yue who deliberately let go of a group of Xuanyi soldiers who had been captured before, and he originally planned to keep them to see if he could dig up some useful information, so he never told anyone.

Last night, he first let people deliberately reveal Zhao Jinyu's whereabouts, and then specially informed them of an armory that he secretly managed underneath, and secretly transferred people away, so that they could successfully snatch those weapons.

However, as he guessed, the assassination failed, and Xiao Jiu, who seemed to have no foundation, actually had a very thick family background in secret, for example, last night Chen De, a master who usually seemed to be unremarkable, appeared.

He knew the skills of the gang of thieves at night, not to mention the other dead soldiers, the leading man was a master, but all the people who went were killed, and the people below brought news, some people saw that Chen De shot that night, and those dead soldiers were basically killed by one blow, and they had no backhand.

Zhao Yue remembered that his mother once said: "Chen Wenxiang's cheap maid is just a maid on the surface, but in fact, she has a lot of background in secret, and her family background is thick, although she is dead now, no one knows if she has left a hand." ”

This is the original words, and it also made Zhao Yue think of temptation, so he had all the things that happened last night.

After thinking about it a lot, Zhao Yue rubbed his numb scalp, his expression relaxed, and said to the middle-aged man in black again: "Recently, I have sent more people to keep an eye on him, and I will tell him immediately if there is any change." ”

The man in black immediately replied, "Yes." ”

……

The Nine Emperor Princes were assassinated and almost died first, and only one of the dozen or so students who followed him who had just entered the Guozijian this year survived; And the murderer was actually the Xuanyi Army, which had just been suppressed a few years ago.

The next day, the news of this night-sensational Shouyang City exploded in the court, and Zao Wou-Ki was furious on the spot, and announced a thorough investigation of the entire Shouyang City, digging three feet into the ground to find those remnants who dared to offend the royal majesty.

Compared with Zhao Jinyu's assassination, Zao Wou-Ki was not too angry and worried, and he didn't even visit him, but formally asked a few eunuchs to send some medicines and supplements; What made him angry was that according to the report of the people below, that group of thieves actually had extremely lethal crossbows in their hands!
