Chapter 303: Heaven's Wrath (3)

That night there was a violent storm, lightning and thunder. In desperation, Kong Sheng had to order the whole army to be stationed in Bianzhou City to take shelter from the rain and recuperate.

The night was deep, the rain was like a weaving, and countless thunderbolt electric snakes exploded in mid-air, drawing a bright arc of cyan color. Suddenly, a very thick lightning bolt slanted down from the clouds, and in the dazzling strong light, it shot into the top of the City God's Temple, the tallest building in Bianzhou City, thunder roared, and the fire that soared into the sky suddenly rose out, and was gradually extinguished by the torrential rain.

Kong Sheng stood under the eaves of the main hall of the Taishou official office in Bianzhou, wearing a cloak and still feeling a burst of coolness.

He looked up at the clouds, the roaring lightning and thunder, the earth-shaking vision of heaven and earth, made his heart even heavier: is this the thunderous wrath of heaven against the killing of the earth?

A black shadow shot out in the rain, jumping over the ridge and getting closer.

Su Wu walked out of the inner hall wrapped in a thick cloak with a pale face and supported by two maids, Kong Sheng didn't reply, and said lightly: "Are you feeling better?" ”

Su Wu fell asleep for several hours, and only woke up at night. After using some ginseng bird's nest porridge to nourish the vitality, I have recovered some energy, but now I am still soft, and I don't even seem to have the strength to stand.

"It's better, thank you for coming to the rescue of our Xixi. If it weren't for your timely rescue, we would ......" Su Yan's sad voice came into Kong Sheng's ears, and Kong Sheng's expression remained unchanged, "Xixi obeyed orders under my command, and he was originally a member of my Xiayi army, Xixi was in trouble, I naturally led the army to rescue, there is nothing to say." It's just that...... Fortunately, we arrived in time and did not cause more casualties, so don't think about it for the time being, take care of yourself first! ”

Kong Sheng originally wanted to say that the Xixi people could have such a catastrophe and lose their troops, and the culprit was you Su Wu. If it weren't for your unauthorized use of troops. Yan Neng fell for Huang Tao's tricks. Thinking of Su Wan's current emotional state, he couldn't bear it, so he forced himself to suppress his questioning words.

Kong Sheng was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a cold wind, and a black shadow swept across the sky, stirring up a surging rain curtain. And the bright sword light stabbed at his side like lightning, but the target was Su Wu instead of himself.

Kong Sheng's face changed suddenly, and he didn't have time to warn him in a hurry, he jumped suddenly, threw Su Yu's delicate body to the ground, and then wrapped her waist and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding this fatal sword.

The black-clad assassin fell to the ground, splashing countless droplets of water. But then it bounced up again, and the long sword in his hand shot out with cold light, stabbing at Kong Sheng and Su Wu who were rolling to the ground again. At this time, Su Wan's two maids were already stunned with fright, and they didn't even have time to exclaim.

A sword light flashed from the side, and the white-clothed Mu Changfeng leaped forward, swinging his sword to block the decapitating blow for Kong Sheng.

Two figures, one white and one black, launched a fierce attack, flying from the hall into the rain curtain of pouring rain. The crisp sound of metal clashing was heard endlessly, along with the shrill cries for help from the two maids. The sound of footsteps sounded chaotically, and Li Biao, Li Hu, and Wu Xian Wujie led the escorts to run, protecting Kong Sheng and the two who had fallen to the ground.

Cyan lightning exploded in midair, and the lightning laser instantly illuminated Su Wan's bleak and complicated face. Kong Sheng slowly let go of his hands and let Su Yu struggle to get up from his embrace, and then flew up with the pull of Wu Xian's arm.

Kong Sheng pushed away the guards' blockade. Rushed to the eaves and stared at the black and white figures fighting fiercely in the rain. The white one is, of course, Mu Changfeng, and the black figure has a graceful body, because the night clothes are wet from the rain, clinging to her body, and in every movement she swings her sword to attack or dodge or bounce and shoot. The curvaceous body curves are unmistakable.

It turned out to be a female assassin! Kong Sheng raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "Why would there be an assassin who wants to assassinate Su Wan?" If it was sent by the rebels, it would be reasonable to assassinate him, but the target of this female assassin was obviously Su Wu, which made him somewhat suspicious.

The female assassin in black was extremely skilled, and it was difficult to subdue Mu Changfeng no matter how hard she tried. Seeing a large number of officers and soldiers rushing out and surrounding herself, the female assassin raised her head to the sky and let out a long roar, her body catapulted and flew through the air, and her feet vigorously kicked on a tree in the courtyard, and then jumped onto the roof, and disappeared in an instant.

Any traces she left on the spot had been washed away by the torrential rain.

Mu Changfeng was soaking wet, lifted his sword upside down, walked in and said with a smile: "Third brother, I am ashamed of my brother, I didn't leave an assassin." This woman is skilled, she should be a person in the rivers and lakes. ”

Kong Sheng smiled slightly: "Brother Mu has worked hard. Just an assassin, what a tooth to worry about. Besides, I'm not injured, so I'll just run away, just strengthen the precautions. ”

"Stand down, strengthen your vigilance, and in addition, you can't slack off in the city defense patrol." Kong Sheng looked at Li Biao and the others.

Li Biao and the others bowed down, promised in unison, and retreated silently.

When there was no one else in the hall, Kong Sheng turned to look at Su Wan, who was still trembling a little, and said softly: "Su Wu, do you know why she came to assassinate you?" Do you have any enemies in Bianzhou City? ”

Su Wu shook her head lonely: "No." ”

"Why, then, did an assassin assassinate you?" Kong Sheng's voice was low: "Su Yuan, I hope you can tell Kong the truth." If you still can't be honest with me at this point, I don't think there's anything to talk about between us. ”

A sickly flush flashed over Su Wan's pale and delicate face, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she hesitated for a long time before she whispered: "The assassin must have been sent by the rebels, as for the target is me, maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

Kong Sheng stared at Su Wu deeply and smiled coldly: "Maybe." Su Wan, you go back to the room to rest first, and we will talk about it tomorrow if you have something to say! ”

After speaking, Kong Sheng brushed his sleeves and left.

He knew that Su Wu didn't tell him the truth, and seeing the change in her expression, she obviously recognized the female killer who carried out the assassination. This female killer suddenly appeared in Bianzhou City, and chose to attack Su Yu at this time, which obviously has a deep meaning, but since Su Wu is unwilling to say it, Kong Sheng is too lazy to force it.

Anyway, in his opinion, this is just a trivial episode that will not affect the overall situation.

But it's a little weird. Xixi people were wrapped up in the march to the Central Plains after An Lushan raised troops, Su Wu as the princess of Xixi, the commander of Xixi's soldiers and horses, has always lived in a simple place, and there should be no enemies here. So, why did someone assassinate her on the night after the battle between the official army and the rebels in Bianzhou?

If it is really a rebel assignment, then there are too many targets to choose from in this Bianzhou City at this moment, and it will not be Su Wu's turn anyway. For the rebels, the impact of assassinating Su Wan on the overall situation is almost negligible.

Looking at Kong Sheng's distant elegant back, Su Wan's complicated eyes gradually became cold, she looked up at the still pouring rain outside the house, and went back to the room to rest with the support of two panicked maids.

Mu Changfeng's figure flashed out from behind the pillars, and a certain suspicious look appeared on his face. He fought against the female assassin at close range, faintly seeing through the other party's veil, and he had a strong premonition that the female killer was vaguely similar to Su Wan's face, at least Xi Nu.
