Since going to Luoyang, the eastern capital, more than six years ago, to appease Cui Jianxuan, who was in pain due to his father's funeral, was robbed and killed when he returned to Chang'an to catch the Jingzhao Mansion test, Du Shiyi already felt very far away from him with the word assassin. First, he used the lesson of blood and the determination to break the sky, so that his enemies could see the consequences of failing on this road, and secondly, the people who made enemies with him were the real top figures in the Tang Dynasty, except for those reckless second ancestors, they would not use this most stupid ** means of extermination.

Otherwise, if there is a grudge, invite someone to assassinate and assassinate, how many high-ranking civil and military officials and ministers in the Tang Dynasty who have gaps with each other will die in a year?

Therefore, for today's sudden fierce wind, he couldn't help but be a little unprepared, but he still heard Chi Bi's sound of caution, and the habit of getting up early to practice swords for many years made him jump up directly at the first time and take Lu Cong off the horse, and rolled directly to the shadow of yīn on the side of the wall to dodge.

When he heard the miserable hissing sound of his mount being hit by an arrow, he couldn't help but feel his whole heart shrink, and one hand habitually stretched out to the leather bag on his waist. However, now he is not like the time when he was holding a copper pill to fight hares, pheasants and pine cones in the mountains of Songshan Mountain, compared to the bow horse and swordsmanship that have made great progress, this hand that once relied on a stunt has been on the spot, so he just hesitated to clasp it in his hand, familiar with the heavy feel.

After he came out of Shu, even if he offended someone, it should not be to the point of killing him. What's more, this is in front of the gate of the Suzhou Assassination History Bureau, and such a big case was poked out at the end of this year, which is going to go to the sky

"Protecting Lang Jun"

For this sudden scene, Chibi was also shocked and angry. He had already jumped off his horse, drew his sword and slammed two arrows with all his might, and then reached out and kicked the rammed earth wall beside him, and the whole man quickly climbed onto the wall. In the sky, which had completely dimmed, he took advantage of the bright light in the Assassin's History Department to flick the blade of the broadsword in front of his eyes, and actually turned a spot of light directly towards the masked man's eyes that he could see. Taking advantage of the other party's slightly stunned kung fu, he had already taken off like a bat and pounced in the air, and when he was still two or three steps away from the other party, he was on tiptoe, and the whole person shrank into a ball and crashed directly into the other party's arms.

"Ahh

With that scream, the man in black hit his chest and leg several times, and he fell directly from the wall with an upside-down onion, and a person farther away saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly threw down the heavy big guy in his hand and fled in embarrassment. Seeing this scene, he left a sentence without looking back, and immediately chased after him alone. And it was only at this time that someone from the Chinese side of the Assassin's History Department heard the movement and hurriedly rushed out.

And Lu Cong completely woke up. He swallowed hard, ignoring the hot pain in his back, and asked in an astringent voice, "Really...... Is it really an assassin? ”

"Maybe."

Du Shiyi replied in a somewhat uncertain tone, but her brows furrowed.

Among his followers, the most confidant is the group of seven or eight people who have gone through life and death from him, and now they have been released as a trilogy, and they have followed him to the south and the north to be loyal. While someone from the Thorn History Department had come out to check on the movement, they had skillfully taken out the pine resin torches from their coats, lit them with flint, and raised them high. A few flaming torches illuminated everything except for Du Shiyi and Lu Cong's hiding place, and when it was certain that no one was hiding on all four walls, the assassins were already frightened, and went to see the man in black who fell from the wall, and the servants breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them immediately stepped forward.

"Is Lang Jun okay?"

"Unharmed."

Du Shiyi grabbed his outstretched hand and stood up, but dragged Lu Cong on the ground with his backhand, and then saw the fallen mount on the ground. However, all of a sudden, the mount that had followed him for many years had lost his life, and Lu Cong's mount was also not spared. And when he stepped forward to crouch down to look at the arrows that had pierced deep into the horse's neck, he couldn't help but glance at the two arrows that were not far from each other and pierced into the ground, and sighed in his heart.

It's been comfortable for a long time, but it's really negligent

"Is Du Shiyu okay?"

There was such a big incident at the door of the Suzhou Assassin's History Bureau, and when they heard the sound of an assassin running out in a hurry, they were all full of panic. After seeing Du Shiyi stand up, although some of his clothes were torn and embarrassed, at least he was still intact, and several people breathed a sigh of relief. And after Du Shiyi motioned for the servants to split up and let these people come over, he asked thoughtfully, "Can you alarm Yuan Yuanjun?" ”

"This" Although it was a little difficult to say, the big man who was the leader still said a little embarrassed, "It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's a feast just now, so there is some slackness before and after, and many people are drunk." When I heard the voice come out, I didn't care about it for a while......"

That being said, he secretly complained in his heart. If it weren't for the sake of more than one thing, it would be better to have less, lest someone be shouting outside, he would have gone in and told Yuan Sheng, the assassin of Suzhou, and now that Du Shiyi asked, he didn't dare to say such selfishness, he only hoped that Du Shiyi was quite cheerful when he was drinking and feasting in the room before, and not to make a big deal about it. Otherwise, not to mention that Yuan Sheng, the assassin of Suzhou, is inseparable from the system, even the other subordinate officials from top to bottom, and even them, the Yuan guards, will not be able to eat and walk around

Du Shiyi did not question the coercion, but beckoned a servant of his own to come over. Seeing that he silently presented an arrow in both hands, he asked thoughtfully, "Do you recognize it, is this a folk bow or something else?" ”

"It should be a bow and arrow used by the people." As he spoke, the servant noticed that several Yuan guards breathed a long sigh of relief when they heard his words, but his next sentence accentuated his tone. "It's just that just looking at the fallen mounts of Lang Jun and Lu Langjun can be seen that the assassin's archery skills are extremely accurate, and they are ......."

He pointed to the two arrows tied to the muddy ground not far away, and his face looked particularly cold under the light of the torch: "If it weren't for Chi Bi's voice jǐng, Lang Jun would react quickly, I'm afraid that these two arrows wouldn't be pierced on the ground."

Lu Cong was still rubbing his sore elbows and knees, but his hot back was temporarily invisible, and he didn't know what the scene was, but when he looked behind him according to these words, he saw the arrows that were deeply rooted in the yellow earth, three points into the soil, and even the arrow feathers did not move at all, and he realized for a while that he was actually turning around on the ghost gate.

And Du Shiyi's face only sank slightly, but his heart was full of anger, and he took a deep breath before coldly ordering: "Don't make a noise first, find someone who is best at inspecting traces, and record everything." The captured Assassin was first held in solitary confinement and interrogated, asking what was going on. Yuan Yuanjun is there, I will go and say it in person. ”

Du Shiyi actually said not to make a noise, and several Yuan family guards were relieved, where could they not agree. Waiting for a man with a red face to come out soon, burping but honestly fearfully stepping forward to salute, Du Shiyi didn't bother to say anything, nodded and stepped into the assassin's history office again. It was only a short time away from when he just left, but the thrill of that moment still made the hairs on his body almost stand upside down, not to mention Lu Cong, who was also walking behind him but his mind was blank.

The lobby was still singing and dancing, and almost no one noticed the return of Du Shiyi and Lu Cong. However, when Du Shiyi went off the field and half-dragged Yuan Sheng back to the main seat, and then laughed and said that he invited people to the back hall to sober up, the others were still a lot more relaxed. If Yuan Tingshi, who is a lot of age, is really happy and sad because he is too happy, no one can bear the responsibility.

Du ...... Du Shiyu, it's still early this day, and I'm not drunk."

Yuan Sheng's tongue was a little knotted, but he was still a little unconvinced. Knowing that he had to be coaxed as an old child when he was old, Du Shiyi whispered in his ear: "Yuan Yuanjun, I just went out and was assassinated." ”

"Huh? Assassination...... What" Yuan Sheng's wine was almost all frightened, and half of the wine in his stomach seemed to turn into a cold sweat. He jumped up and asked incredulously, "Is that true?" ”

"If Yuan Yuanjun doesn't believe it, you might as well ask Lu Langjun."

Yuan Sheng wiped his head with his sleeve, and saw Lu Cong nodding in dismay, obviously not joking about such a big thing, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and couldn't help but say with a trembling voice: "Sobering soup...... Bring the decanter soup."

When Du Shiyi just came in, he had already asked people to prepare the decanting soup, and at this moment, he immediately asked Lu Cong to pick it up. When Yuan Sheng poured down a big bowl of ** fresh soup, this old Suzhou thorn finally came to his senses. He took the cold towel wrung with well water from Lu Cong and applied it to his forehead, and finally calmed down completely.

"It's only been half a month since Du Shiyu arrived in Suzhou, and there should be no enemies here who want to put you to death.

"Don't say it's in Suzhou, it's the same thing in Shuzhong. You must know that daring to assassinate an official of the imperial court is a very trivial crime. ”

Almost as soon as Du Shiyi's words fell, a voice lowered his voice came from outside: "Envoy, there is a servant from Du Shiyu who has come back from outside, saying that he has captured another assassin who has escaped." The first one is also finished

"Let Chibi in." Du Shiyi preemptively commanded, seeing that Yuan Shengquan didn't care, he knew that the other party didn't mind this little overstepping. Seeing that Lu Cong's hanging hands seemed to be trembling slightly, he coughed lightly, and then said, "Lu Shilang, you should also sit down and take a breath first, after all, it is a knife that rolls around." ”

Lu Cong saw that Du Shiyi's face was as usual, and after hesitating for a moment, he sat down a little unnaturally. However, the servant who had come in very well, with whom he was unusually familiar, bowed and saluted, and then uttered something that surprised him again.

"The two assassins said that it was the people of the Zhang clan in Wu County who bought them to do this evil act."

Yuan Sheng gasped, but Du Shiyi sneered and shook his head without thinking: "Joke, although the Zhang family Jiulang has only seen me once, and he will leave without saying a word, but if he does this unrighteous act just for the sake of this little bit of will, the reputation of the Zhang family of Wujun for hundreds of years will be ruined, as a child of the Jiangzuo Shi clan, how can he be so unwise?" ”
