Chapter 35: Assassination

Recently, there is a strange phenomenon in the Northern Demon Plain, that is, love to rain.

It's like tonight, it's drizzling again.

The sea under the night rain is pitch black, lonely and deep, making people feel suffocated.

In the fishing grounds by the sea, cattle, sea camels, and iron-scaled snakes all dive deep into the water to hide from the thick darkness.

The sea breeze swept the waves, rhythmically lapping against the giant pillars of the sea, over and over again, repeating the noise.

On the high cliff, the huge ironclad fort, like a lonely giant, stands on the shore of the sea, with the help of the faint light on the castle gate, silently observing everything in the rainy night.

What can there be in the dark?

Twenty black shadows suddenly appeared on the high cliff!

Wrapped in black from head to toe, his only exposed eyes narrowed into a slit, and his light steps stepped on the thick moss without making a sound, like a ghostly ghost!

The cow orchid in front of the castle was also blackened by the night, dancing in clusters with the wind, making a slight rustling sound around them, but the breath of the black shadow followed the rhythm of the waves, one after another.

They were low in shape, and quickly approached the castle, and buried their heads in the cow orchid bushes.

The whole process was unspoken, and communication was all based on gestures.

It was clear that these were twenty agile and experienced assassins.

The leader of the Assassins, with his half-closed eyes, stared intently at a small faint lamp above the castle.

The eyes are as black as ink, firm and calm, and you can't see half of human emotion.

He's waiting patiently!

It was a lamp carried by the duty squad, and each squad would carry a lamp with a different name written on it.

Suddenly, the small lamp moved, as if it was a dark castle body, with a slowly moving eye.

That's the signal to change guards!

The leader made a slight gesture, and the twenty figures in Niu Lan pressed against the ground, moving unhurriedly.

It's like twenty slick pythons that have found their prey, silently and prostrately!

The python came to the castle under the high walls, and the small lamp just disappeared into the night.

The Assassins worked in groups of four and took out five hooks.

Throw!

Boom! The iron hook hangs on the inside edge of the wall!

One by one, pythons climb along the rope and climb quickly!

Climb to the top!

The leader looked around for a moment, gestured to the other Assassins, and then pointed his hand at the main fort.

The shadows nodded neatly, and then quickly disappeared into the night......

The main fort has five floors, the first floor is the central area, the second floor is the garrison area, the third floor is the residential area, the fourth and fifth floors are other functional facilities, there are also a small number of garrisons, and each floor has a separate gate.

The staircase is on the side of the castle and is designed to be large enough for three people to walk side by side.

There are usually very few people in the residential area, only maids, close attendants, and Ji Tieyi.

Ten Assassins lurked at the gates of the main fort, and the other ten were nowhere to be found.

Rainy nights are long, and people tend to sleep soundly.

Inside the castle, there was silence everywhere, except for the occasional bark or two, only the faint sound of wind and rain sliding on the face.

Suddenly, a firelight rose into the sky in the residential area, dazzling in the dark night.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight fires appeared in residential areas and free areas.

The fire was very large, burning in the rain and spreading in all directions......

It's a fire!

It's a fire!

Someone! Hurry up and put out the fire!

……

Panicked, heart-rending screams began to ring everywhere.

Many people wake up from their dreams, and the sound of chaotic footsteps is getting more and more dense.

The black shadow remained motionless, waiting patiently.

There were twenty people on duty, and they were the first to discover the fire in the fort, and the captain immediately assigned ten soldiers to warn them, while he continued to stick to his post with the rest of them.

Recently, the situation has been tense, and the Iron Cloak Fort has also strengthened its precautions, and all the soldiers on duty have been replaced by elite soldiers under Zhang Gongcheng.

The captain stood in the watchtower of the city wall, holding his breath and paying close attention to the movements around him.

Tonight's events are clearly man-made, and something is very wrong!

As a veteran of battle, he knows that the more chaotic he is, the more he must stay awake, otherwise he will be taken advantage of by the enemy!

Could it be that the Jin family has already done it?

The captain's mind was all under the castle, and his soldiers were like him, and they all had a bamboo whistle in their mouths, which was the experience gained on the battlefield, unless the enemy could kill ten of them at the same time, the high-pitched flute would immediately resound throughout the Iron Castle.

Below the castle, there was only a dark night, boundless, but there was no trace of the enemy.

The flames were raging, the fire was raging, the cries for help were incessant, and the main fort was already lit up.

Groups of soldiers were already dressed in neat clothes, armed with weapons, holding torches, and rushed to the scene of the fire. Most of the residents of the fort are elderly coastal fishermen, who are very agile and can quickly escape in the face of fire. A place where food and equipment can be stored, and there must be no problems.

Zhang Gongcheng appeared at the gate of the main fort with a solemn expression, followed by two hundred veterans of the Yan Legion.

Although he was also in a hurry, he thought of the point in an instant.

Fires are man-made!

There are not many people on the other side, but they are all masters!

With its strong walls and tens of thousands of skilled fishermen nearby, the enemy would not be foolish enough to attack.

Then they have only one purpose tonight, which is to take advantage of the chaos to kill the eldest lady Ji Tieyi!

So he didn't go anywhere with these veterans, and directly set up a position and guarded the gate of the main fort.

Zhang Gongcheng had already arranged for someone to remind the eldest lady that the other party could actually climb over the eight-meter-high city wall and sneak in, and his strength was not weak.

If you hide in the shadows and sneak attack, it is likely to threaten the safety of the eldest lady.

There were not many people on the third floor of the main fort, only twenty guards and two maids, all of whom stood on both sides of the corridor, silent and quiet.

Ji Tieyi opened the door calmly, and there was not the slightest panic on his face.

She was wearing a black power suit and black breastplate at this time, tall and fit, her long hair was tied back with a red rope at random, revealing a delicate and flawless face, and she was holding a silver heavy sword in her hand.

"Miss, you can't go! Now it's pitch black outside, it's dangerous! A maid suddenly stopped in front of her and said.

"Did you know me for the first day?" Ji Tieyi glanced at the maid and said in her characteristic deep voice.

When the maid saw her dark brown eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head and flashed to the side, not daring to speak again.

Ji Tieyi turned around and lifted the heavy sword, and walked to the gate of the third floor without hurrying, and the twenty female guards followed closely behind her, with a grim face and did not say a word.

Click! Click!

That's clear footsteps!

The hallway is long and the lights are dim!

The two maids stood silently in place, and Ji Tieyi's tall back was stretched by the light for a long time!

Click! Click!

"Can't wait for now?"

Ji Tieyi said silently in his heart with a sneer on his face.

Click! Click!

She walked rhythmically, facing the door at the end of the hallway, every step as if measured.

The breath is even, the muscles are relaxed, and the whole person is in a wonderful rhythm.

Click! Click!

In front of it is the restaurant, the restaurant where the fat man drinks dragon and phoenix soup.

The two doors of the restaurant are usually closed.

There were still two meters away from the restaurant, and Ji Tieyi's gaze swept inadvertently-

I don't know when the door of the restaurant opened!

"Be careful!" Ji Tieyi snorted, the heavy sword in his hand was raised sharply, protecting him in front of him, and his tall figure did not retreat but advanced, and rushed towards the restaurant.

At the same time, three dull voices suddenly sounded-

Collapse! Collapse! Collapse!

The battle begins in an assassination!
