Chapter 49: The Assassination of King Li
One of the four saw that the blow was unsuccessful, and when he saw the stunned Xiao Qiao, he knew that it must be King Li's relatives, so he flew and pounced. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
King Li didn't care about anything else, he opened the big knife with his bare hands, and rushed towards the assassin, but after all, it was a step too slow, Xiao Qiao was caught in his arms, and King Li had to stop at a distance of less than five steps from Xiao Qiao, and did not dare to advance the slightest.
At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu, who reacted early, killed the remaining three in an instant, and the other guards also quickly rushed over and surrounded the last assassin.
King Li was attacked by assassins for the first time, although he was not panicked, he said in a deep voice: "I don't know which force you belong to, but holding a little girl hostage is too inferior, how about I change him, not only can I protect you, but my life and death are also in your thoughts." He took a step forward.
"Stop." The assassin shouted, and cold sweat slipped down his sideburns: "The world is said to be able to be civil and martial, don't try to use words to trick me, but it seems that you feel very sorry for this girl." β
King Li looked at the big knife strangled on Xiao Qiao's neck, the blades were embedded in the skin, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly said a few words to appease the assassin.
"You calm down first, as long as you guarantee her safety, I promise to let you go safely."
In fact, King Li is still not mature enough, if he is replaced by Cao Cao, he will definitely abandon Xiao Qiao, which will not only make the assassin uncertain and dare not easily hurt Xiao Qiao, but also make him panic in his heart and reveal his flaws.
"Leave safely?" The assassin sneered, "Ever since the moment I was going to assassinate you, I never thought about leaving, go, bring your sword." β
King Li didn't know what the assassin wanted to do, but he still ordered the guards to fetch the sword, and it didn't take long for him to return.
"This is my saber."
"Okay." The assassin's eyes flashed with excitement: "Slit your right shoulder." β
King Li was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded, his eyes were as cold as a lion king, and he was not interested in any prey.
The sword fell in his hand, and King Li's already scarred right arm was newly injured.
"Next is your left leg."
King Li did not hesitate, the long sword slashed directly through his left leg, and immediately blood spilled out, seeing that everyone was shocked, Yuwen Chengdu followed King Li through Plains City, knowing his heart, but at this time, King Li did not frown, let alone any expression, and admired it in his heart.
"Okay, and the state pastor is really powerful, admire it, and then cut off the tail finger of your right hand."
King Li was already numb, as if the pain was gone, and he spread out his right hand and was about to drop the sword, but was interrupted by a soft cry like a yellow bird.
"Stop." Xiao Qiao, who was kidnapped, shouted, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, including the assassin: "Brother Li, Xiao Qiao thank you for taking care of you, Xiao Qiao's posture is like a willow, looking at autumn and falling; The quality of the eldest brother pine and cypress, after frost, how dare you be hurt again today. β
Li Wang didn't listen to Xiao Qiao's words much, but she had a decisive look on her face, and she said badly in her heart: "Xiao Qiao, stop." β
Xiao Qiao's eyes were filled with tears, there was resentment, there was satisfaction, but more of it was reluctance and nostalgia. At this moment, Xiao Qiao's head was biased, and suddenly the sharp knife slashed the jade neck, and the hot blood instantly stained the placket red, as beautiful as a blooming flower.
King Li suddenly fell like the sky, and now he holds the power of a state, but he can't even protect a girl.
But Yuwen Chengdu was not idle, taking advantage of the assassin's stunned moment, the three-meter-long phoenix wings were waved out, castrating like a dragon.
"Leave the mouth alive." King Li's cold voice was like that of the Nine Demons, without emotion.
Yuwen Chengdu twisted the handle with the trend, changed the oblique split to a beat, swept it away under a blow, fainted, and a guard had already stepped forward to tie it up.
"Immediately gather the famous doctors in the city for me to help Xiao Qiao." King Li's weak command, but there was no doubt between the words.
As early as when it was learned that King Li had been assassinated, the entire prefecture, including Wei County and Changshan County in Jizhou, entered a state of alert and arrested all suspicious people.
"Lord, your injury..."Zhang Juzheng asked worriedly, King Li can't fall, all forces are watching and merging, if King Li falls, and there is no heir, the consequences will be unbearable.
"I know my injuries, so you all go down."
Li Wang's injuries were not serious, they were all external injuries, but they couldn't be hastily bandaged, so Li Wang called his subordinates to get some sake to disinfect and bleed a lot, which is understandable, the conditions in ancient times were only like this, and they didn't know what tetanus was, so Li Wang had to bleed and disinfect.
The next day, Li Wang woke up quietly, and there were already generals outside the door waiting for orders.
"Chengdu, you go and call Uncle and wait for me in the main hall."
Yuwen Chengdu has to be ordered to order, Li Wang's physique is good, and his strength has reached a height of 84 points, although it has not increased recently, but his strength has improved, and he can already get out of bed and move around at this time, Li Shishi and Zhen Mi accompany him day and night, and when he saw Li Wang get out of bed, he quickly supported him left and right.
"Help me go see Little Joe."
The two girls nodded at the same time, their senses for Xiao Qiao had risen sharply after being assassinated before, and it was really rare to have such courage in the face of life and death.
"Brother Li, two sisters." Da Qiao saw King Li coming to visit, and hurriedly bowed to Yingying.
"Get up, little Joe is fine."
"Ah Mei is no longer in danger of life, but she is still unconscious." After Da Qiao finished speaking, he instructed the maid on the side: "Go and call Langzhong." β
King Li's face was flat, and he couldn't see his joy or anger: "You guys wait here, I'll go in and have a look." β
As soon as he took a step, Da Qiao opened his mouth to stop it, but he still didn't say it, after all, the boudoir of a woman who has not left the cabinet allows a man to enter and exit at will, and the reputation is ruined, but thinking about Xiao Qiao's friendship with King Li, there is only one sigh left after all.
Wang Li sat on the side of the bed, looked at Xiao Qiao's delicate facial features, felt pity, and couldn't help but brush the ends of his hair with his hands: "Xiao Qiao Xiao Qiao..."
"Cousin, Lang Zhong is here."
Hearing the call of Master Li outside, King Li quickly withdrew his hand, brushed his sleeve robe with a weak heart, and walked out in a good time.
"See your Excellency." Lang Zhong looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, and he still comes out to practice medicine at such an old age, so he is not a person who sells fame and reputation.
"Please, what's wrong with Little Joe."
Lang Zhong didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the topic: "Looking at Miss Xiaoqiao's pulse, it's just that she has lost too much blood and has a depression before, and she is exhausted and falls into a coma, but it seems that the depression has been resolved, and she is recovering quickly at the moment, and she will be able to wake up tomorrow at the latest." β
King Li breathed a sigh of relief: "You will stay in my state pastoral mansion first, as long as Xiao Qiao wakes up, there will be a reward." β
Lang Zhong hurriedly bowed to the promise.
After Wang Li left, he went straight to the main hall, thinking that Zhang Juzheng and the others were already in place.
"My lord, I'm still sick." Zhang Juzheng asked with concern, it can be said that he has a love for King Li, no matter where King Li is, he has great trust in him, and he can make decisions on all matters, and add him as his deputy, and his concern at this moment is not a lie.
"Uncle bothered, I'm fine." King Li reassured his subordinates, and he didn't forget the business: "How did the search take over." β
It was not Zhang Juzheng who dealt with this matter, but Jia Kui, who happened to be in the hall at this time.
"Back to the lord, reports have been sent from Shangtang, Huguan, Jinyang and other places, and a total of 472 suspicious people have been arrested, including 27 people from Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's eyes and ears are the most, with more than 130 people, and in addition..."
King Li waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, just leave these to Uncle Da to deal with, have you found anyone related to the assassin." β
Jia Kui arched his hand and said, "This is not true." β
"Okay, martial law has been lifted in each county, and all other suspicious objects have been released except for the people who have been captured." King Li looked at the puzzled eyes of everyone in the hall, and said: "Before, I asked Chengdu to leave the assassin's mouth, and I wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was completely unnecessary, as close as Yuan Shao, we can find a reason to send troops at any time, and it is too late to be far away, and the assassin must be a dead soldier, how can I explain it all?" β
Everyone suddenly, as King Li said, if Yuan Shao's forces sent someone to assassinate King Li, then this matter cannot be made public, otherwise the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yuan family will inevitably rebound, and at that time, stepping on the undead will also provoke a kick of.
