Chapter 357: Assassination

In the firelight, Zhanxiong's face was pale, and his fists were clenched, as if he was on the verge of an outbreak.

Lu Heng squatted down and saw the big bag of arsenic sprinkled on the ground, and he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

With such a big bag, there is no problem in poisoning thousands of people. These 100 people are not enough to clean up.

Raising his head and looking at the two shopkeepers and shopkeepers who were as dead as ashes and trembling like chaff, Lu Heng reached out and patted Zhanxiong's shoulder: "Ask them, who is so creative?" ”

"Yes!" Zhanxiong nodded, and when he stood up, his eyes gloomy at the two poisoning attempts. He waved his hand at the two soldiers and said, "Take them into the firewood room!" ”

"My lord, we are innocent!" After being added up by the two soldiers who exuded a cold temperament, the shopkeeper was suddenly paralyzed with fright. Weeping bitterly begged for mercy.

"Wouldn't more than a hundred of us be more innocent?" Lu Heng sneered and said to the shopkeeper. Then he turned around and waved his hand directly, asking Zhanxiong to take the person down.

The night was dark, and the stars twinkled in the deep blue sky.

In the furnace, the fire is blazing. Burning firewood, crackling, sparks rising up in the flames, as beautiful as fragments of flames.

Lu Heng leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes slightly, thinking in his mind, who was so bold. At the foot of this Son of Heaven, outside the city of Tokyo, more than 100 people murdered themselves.

Is it the remnants of Qingcheng Road?

Unlikely, Lu Heng shook his head and overturned this clue in an instant. This is the periphery of the capital, and to build such an inn, Jing Zhaoyin needs to agree to the approval. Now, Qingcheng Road is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats it. It seems that Jing Zhaoyin is not so bold and colludes with Qingcheng Dao.

Moreover, Da Zhou attaches great importance to land. Xiang is such a large piece of land, and it is still outside the capital, ordinary people can't approve it at all.

That is, the other side is a group of officials, at least with the participation of officials. Moreover, it is also heavyweight.

Is it Anpeng?

No, it won't!

Although it is said that An Peng's suspicion seems to be the greatest. However, Lu Heng knew that this person had high political wisdom and vicious eyes. And he knows how to advance and retreat very well, which can be seen from the original abandonment of Fan Zeng and the chess game to protect the handsome. With his wisdom, he would never have moved the Snow Wolf Camp on this cusp and offended the military.

So, then, it seems that there is one last possibility.

The people who do this are the bureaucracy. Moreover, being able to put pressure on Jin Zhaoyin is obviously extraordinary.

The other side is ruthless, but the political wisdom is not high. Moreover, this person should be a self-righteous person, who did not listen to the advice of his staff and acted arbitrarily.

Otherwise, it would not have stretched out its claws when the military won a big victory.

The clues of the strip are drawn to death in the mind.

In the end, the name of King Jin stood out in Lu Heng's mind.

Scold...... After thinking about who planned this poisoning case, Lu Heng couldn't help but shake his head and laughed dumbly.

No wonder the emperor did not pass on to him.

What a brainless guy!

After thinking of who the other party was, Lu Heng's heart was also much more relaxed.

Picked up the tea, blew it, and was about to take a sip when Zhanxiong had already come out of the firewood room.

"Did you make that clear?" Lu Heng put down the teacup, turned his head, looked at Zhanxiong, and asked.

Zhanxiong sat on the chair and shook his head dejectedly: "It's clear to ask, but they just said that three days ago, a masked woman found them and asked them to do this!" As for what the masked woman looked like, they didn't see it! ”

Lu Heng smiled unmindfully, and after serving the cup of tea to Zhanxiong, he thought for a while and said, "They didn't say, how old is the woman?" Do they know? ”

"Twenty-four or five years old, in his prime. And, according to the two men, there seemed to be some kind of special fragrance on the woman's body. Like, like ......" Zhanxiong nodded, and was about to drink tea, only to find out that the tea was from the military advisor, and quickly put down the teacup, and said with a smile.

"It smells like sandalwood, right?" Lu Heng took a sip of tea, a smile flashed in his eyes, and asked lightly.

When Zhanxiong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his head and said, "Yes, it's the smell of sandalwood!" Your shopkeeper seems to smell in the temple! Why didn't I think it was sandalwood! ”

After patting his head in frustration and laughing at himself, Zhanxiong suddenly raised his head, looked at the military advisor sitting in front of him, his eyes calm, and asked in surprise: "Military advisor, do you know ......?"

Lu Heng listened and did not answer him. Instead, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair and thought quietly.

In her mind, in the small courtyard, the woman looked at herself, and said the sentence faintly, and the scene of Xiao Lang being a passerby from now on is vivid.

Perhaps, this is providence!

Lu Heng made an excuse to comfort himself. Shake your head and smile. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Zhanxiong, who looked inquiring, and shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”

"Huh?" Zhanxiong was at a loss.

Lu Heng slapped him angrily, and scolded with a smile: "Ah what, hurry up and prepare." It is estimated that these thirty-plus men in black should have good skills. Be careful! ”

"Strategist, don't worry!" Zhanxiong stood up, patted his chest, and said with a loud sound.

Seeing Zhanxiong leave with others, Lu Heng looked at him apologetically, and said secretly in his heart: It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that it's too dangerous for soldiers to participate in political struggles.

sighed in his heart, turned his head, and looked into the distance of the miserable night, Lu Heng's gaze had become calm again.

…… The night sky is full of stars.

The wind was blowing, and the straw on the field was undulating like waves.

A vole came out of the nest, listened with a stirring ear for a moment, and suddenly, with a whoosh, turned into the tunnel again, and then, where the vole had just stood, a foot with the sound of the whirring wind passed by.

In the vast night, a group of more than 30 masked black-clothed people, bent in the grass, quickly approached the inn in front of them.

When he was about to arrive at the inn, he suddenly crouched down with the person who was walking in front. The whole team came to a halt in an orderly manner.

"What's wrong? Top dog! Beside him, someone stepped forward to ask and whispered.

The masked man in black, squatting in the straw and holding a steel knife, looked at the faintly lit lantern at the door of the inn in front of him. His brows furrowed, and he said, "Something is wrong! ”

The companion glanced at it and saw that the inn was lonely at night, and there was nothing wrong with it. Turning his head, he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong!" ”

"The other party shouldn't be so lax!" The leader of the men in black, crouched down. His eyes flickered, and he whispered as he looked at the lantern swaying in the wind at the door of the inn.

The companion thought for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "It must be the shopkeeper who has succeeded!" ”

Seeing that the boss was still frowning and thinking, the companion smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss." Didn't the above say that the scholar's personal guard, Ximen Blowing Snow, was not in this team, and there was no Ximen Blowing Snow. Our brother cleaned up those big soldiers, and it wasn't like playing! ”

"However, I don't think this group of soldiers is an ordinary soldier!" Still hesitating, the boss turned his head and said to his companion.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded beside him, and then, in the rice field not far away, more than a dozen torches suddenly appeared.

The glow of the blazing torches instantly illuminated the field as bright as day.

Suddenly, the man in black was shocked, held the steel knife, slowly stood up, and looked around.

In the firelight, there were soldiers with faces as pale as iron all around, and in their hands, bows and crossbows and arrows exuded a cold light that made people's hearts tremble.

One of the officers-like big men slowly stepped forward, raised his head, tilted his head, looked at the boss, and pouted: "Then you say, what is the difference between us and other sergeants!" ”

"Kill!" There were a few men in black who were closest to each other, and on impulse, they drew their knives like the group of sergeants rushing over.

However, before they could take two steps, they heard a sound from Weng, which seemed to be the sound of a bowstring vibrating, and then they saw the man in black rushing out, shot through the head by the oncoming crossbow arrow. With a thud, he fell to the ground, his limbs twitching, and he was motionless.

Such a lightning-like killing action made those black-clothed people who were surrounded in the center suddenly awe-inspiring. Their palms of the knives were dripping with sweat as they slowly retreated.

But the big man acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and the corners of his mouth still had that grim smile, looking at the old avenue of the man in black: "Tell me about it, I really want to hear it!" ”

The boss of the man in black secretly waved his hand back, and the men in black who got the signal collectively shrank and gathered in a circle. The steel knives all outward, pointing at the surrounding sergeants.

"Who are you?" The man in black held a steel knife in his hand and pointed to the big man who came over and asked.

The big man smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed to his nose, and said, "You ask me!" ”

"My name is Zhanxiong!" The big man happily answered the question of the man in black, and then his eyes froze, and he looked at the man in black coldly: "What about you, who are you?" ”

Zhanxiong?

The man in black read a sentence silently, and suddenly was startled, raised his head, looked at the big man, and asked in astonishment: "You are the snow wolf battalion?" ”

The name Zhanxiong, the man in black remembers very clearly.

The army that slaughtered all sides in Goryeo, like a devil, came out of nowhere, and killed countless enemies, not only made the people of Goryeo Dongying tremble, but even some people in the country changed their complexion when they heard it.

At that time, when he accepted this task, he also asked his superiors. The soldier who escorted the scholar would not be Zhanxiong's soldier.

However, the people above told him that Zhanxiong's troops were still in Goryeo to maintain order.

He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate, but here, he met the tiger and wolf army of the Snow Wolf Battalion.

Cold sweat poured down, and his eyes were instantly confused.

The man in black looked ahead, and under the reflection of the torch, the military advisor with a face as heavy as iron swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

Secretly took a step back, just made this move. I saw the soldiers around me, with a bang, raised the bows and crossbows in their hands, and the cold arrows were aimed at themselves.

"What to do? Top dog! His companion's eyes were full of horror, his forehead was sweaty, and he smelled the people in black.

The man in black who was targeted by dozens of powerful crossbows was not terrified. He believes that as long as he makes the slightest move. The opponent will immediately release the arrow.

Now, staying where he was, he didn't dare to move, letting the cold sweat dazzle his eyes, and he didn't even dare to raise his hands.

"Kill!" At this moment, several black-clothed men couldn't bear such pressure, and drew their knives and rushed towards the soldiers of the snow wolf battalion.

The soldiers didn't blink an eyelid, and directly pulled the crossbow machine.

The whizzing arrows shot out with strong strength, densely packed, and in the blink of an eye, the more than ten black-clothed people were shot to death on the spot.

A man in black rolled forward on the ground, dodging a rain of arrows overhead, drew his knife and slashed at a soldier.

The soldier was expressionless, and after blocking the steel knife of the man in black with the crossbow machine in his hand, he raised his kick and hit the man in black in the jaw like lightning.

There was a snap, and the sound of sweaty fractures sounded.

The man in black spurted out a mouthful of blood with a pop, and his body flew upside down in the air.

With a thud, the corpse flying in the air just fell at the feet of the boss.

Looking at his companion's blood-stained face, he was not angry at all. The boss finally couldn't bear the horror in his heart, his eyes were terrified, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Then, I saw that his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Let's throw ...... Belch! ”

Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill in his heart.

A steel knife ran through his chest, and bright red blood came out of his chest with a sneer.

"You!" With blood streaming from his mouth, the boss turned around and looked at his companion behind him with a smirk on his face.

"So you are their man......" After the boss said these words intermittently, he died of anger and fell to the ground without moving.

"Brothers, if we fall into their hands, we have only one way to die, and we will fight with them!" The man in black who killed the boss, after kicking the boss's body back, pulled out the bloody steel knife, shouted loudly, and led his subordinates to rush towards the soldiers of the snow wolf battalion opposite.

On the other side, Zhanxiong was not surprised when he saw all this happening. When he saw this guy's crazy version of agitating his subordinates rushing over, Zhanxiong's lips moved, and he ordered indifferently: "Kill!" ”

The words fell, and the sound of the bowstring vibrating rang out.

Black arrows, whizzing out of the ballista. Like a black crushed locust, it fell like an overwhelming opponent.

Puff puff...... The sound of the iron arrow running through the **, in this wilderness, sounds particularly infiltrating.

The torches were blazing, and under the fiery red light, the black-clothed man who was wielding a knife and screaming frantically fell to the ground one after another.

After a volley, only one person survived.

However, it seems to be a coincidence that the only person alive is the guy who has just encouraged the rest of the people to play with their lives.

At this time, he looked at the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion who were bowing and winding again, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

Looking at the cold eyes of the tiger and wolf master, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his wrist flicked, and the steel knife in his hand clanged and fell on the grass.

"I surrender!" The man threw himself on his knees, holding his head and begging for mercy.

Zhan Xiong couldn't help frowning when he saw this guy kneeling on the ground, kowtowing like garlic, and casually took the repeater from the soldier next to him. Without looking, he pulled the crossbow machine directly on his forehead.

Burst...... The iron arrow screamed and landed firmly on the forehead of the man in black.

"Kill even your companions, damn it!" Zhanxiong glanced at him in disgust, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and scolded disdainfully.
