Chapter Seventy-Six: There is no danger
In the face of the other party's proposal, Zhong Wuregret thought that it was the other party's conspiracy, so he remained silent.
He didn't say anything, but the people below became anxious and said, "It's okay if you don't speak, I'll say our proposal first, and then you can consider it." ”
Zhong Wuregret is now thinking about how to kill it with his own strength. Based on the other party's careful plan, he speculated that when the other party forced him here, he might have lured another guard who followed him to another place.
Every time he goes out, Zhong Wuregret seems to be very casual and unvigilant, but in fact, he is surrounded by special training team members who secretly follow and escort. He is now a high-ranking official, not to mention that there are many riches and glories waiting for him to enjoy, at least the goal of helping the King of Chu control the royal power has not been completed, and he will never easily risk his life.
If the king of Chu does not hold the royal power for a day, the life and safety of Zhong Wufu's family will be unstable for a day.
Zhong Wuregret's guards are two teams of people. The first team followed a little tightly, and in case of major danger, the first team of guards would appear to kill the enemy, and the task of the second team of guards was to continue to follow Zhong Wuregret secretly, regardless of the victory or defeat of the first team, and choose whether to summon reinforcements according to the situation. Due to the distance, their arrival takes a certain amount of time
According to the current situation, Zhong Wuregret estimates that although the other party does not know the people around him, he will also find a way to lead away, a real master, and his vision is extraordinary.
Trapped in a courtyard, there must be a disturbance before anyone will know.
Faced with the other party's proposal, "Say! At the same time that Zhong Wuregret only spit out one word, the person had quickly changed positions.
"We know you have a very powerful weapon in your hands. All you have to do is give us this weapon, and we can let you live right away, how about it? ”
"Weapons for lives, right?" Every time Zhong Wuregret said a word, he had to change his hiding place.
"Yes, Lord Zhong is a smart person, so he naturally understands the stakes!" The person who spoke below was always a woman, but Zhong Wuregret didn't dare to peek, and waited for him to show up if he couldn't get the arrow.
"Give me three sticks of incense to consider." Zhong Wuregret resorted to a delaying tactic.
"No, a stick of incense! Otherwise......" the other party said without hesitation.
"How else?"
"I don't want anything, just Lord Zhong's life." The other party said fiercely.
"Okay, a stick of incense is a stick of incense, but you have to bring me a jar of water, I am thirsty, at least a large jar of water." Zhong Wuregret put forward the condition.
The other party thought about it, no matter how powerful you Lord Zhong is, he won't escape with a jar of water, so he readily agreed to Zhong Wuregret's condition and sent someone to send a large jar of water.
The people who came also knew Zhong Wuregret's stakes, but he put the water in the door and left, not afraid of Zhong Wuregret's possible murder.
"A water delivery person is so calm!" Who are these people? Zhong Wuregret began to figure out their identities.
Zhong Wuregret is now helping the King of Chu to compete in the Central Plains, and the cause of competing for hegemony with the heroes has a long way to go, and he never wants to die with the other party in a desperate gamble. The other party really wants to get his so-called very powerful weapon, in the final analysis, it is a hand crossbow.
The biggest thing he considered was that it was probably someone from the "Red Mansion", and with this kind of killing weapon, it would be easier to carry out the assassination. The arrows of the crossbow had only been used against the Assassins of the "Red Mansion", and the others did not know about the existence of such a sharp weapon. However, if the other party is really a person from the "Red Mansion", after Zhong Wuregret handed over his crossbow, there is very little hope of letting him go back.
As far as the cuckoo group is concerned, it is already very powerful, such as one-on-one fighting, Zhong Wuregret's defeat is only a matter of time. A group of elites was lost, and the "Red Mansion" made another killing move, and it seemed that this Assassin organization was very powerful.
Once this assassin organization has obtained a sharper assassination tool, it definitely wants to try its best to cover up the truth of this sharp weapon, and no one has a deeper understanding of the tactic of "surprise" than the assassins, and after obtaining the crossbow, the "Red Mansion" will have the advantage and kill people invisibly.
If Zhong Wuregret is left alive, he will know who did it as soon as he sees the murder weapon in the future, which is equivalent to announcing to the world that the "Red Mansion" is the real murderer, thus making enemies everywhere, and finally becoming the public enemy of many victims.
After understanding the danger he was in, Zhong Wuregret calmly thought about how to save himself. A hard charge is definitely not good, as soon as you go out, it will turn into a hornet's nest, even the most lame archer, it is easy to shoot through a person at close range.
What will the hinterland of the mansion look like?
The purpose of the other party besieging him is to fear that he will rush out, what will be the result if he rushes back to the inner house? But Zhong Wuregret immediately denied his own idea, in the case of not knowing the enemy's situation, after a crisis, maybe it will be a bigger crisis.
Seeing that the time for a stick of incense was approaching, Zhong Wuregret decided to set the fire and send a signal to recruit reinforcements.
The signal he wanted to send came with great risks. He was going to set it on fire, but it was not well controlled, the fire was too big, and he might die in the fire and burn himself to death. However, he had been trained in firefighting, and he seemed to remember that the fire teacher said that not many people were actually burned to death in the fire, and many more were choked to death by smoke.
Now, Ziyi is facing a period of panic when the army is pressing, and any movement in the county will attract strong attention, and the soldiers will arrive immediately.
Let the other party set fire, it is better to set fire to yourself with technical content.
So, Zhong Wuregret went on a killing spree in the room, kicked the wooden wall and wooden lattice to pieces, and then started to light a fire in one corner.
Zhong Wuregret crossed over, he only brought two items with him, a ZIPPO lighter and a Sogo fighting knife, the reason why the ZIPPO lighter has become the favorite of the United States, because when you need it, it will never disappoint you, the more you are in the harsh environment, the more you can realize: ZIPPO is always worthy of your trust!
After all this time, this lighter is really trustworthy.
As soon as the fire broke out, Zhong Wuregret tore off his underwear, soaked it in water, covered his mouth and nose, and then splashed the wooden board with water, covering the fire, and the billowing smoke began to rise.
He only heard an exclamation from below: "The small building is on fire, and the thief wants to burn himself." To save the fire? ”
"Shut up!" He heard a shout: "This thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people has killed himself, no wonder we are worth burning down a mansion." ”
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, his retreat was getting smaller and smaller, and the enemy was still waiting for him, he decided to go out and break through.
At that moment, "Fight the fire!" Fight the fire! The sound of chaos sounded in the street, and at the same time, there were screams of pain after someone was hit by an arrow from time to time, and he knew that his team members were coming.
The opponents of the mansion couldn't tell which of the crowds was civilians and which was Zhong Wuregret's guards, and in broad daylight, they didn't dare to kill them all, and besides, the soldiers patrolling the defense were about to arrive.
"Withdraw!" With an order, more people participated in the firefighting, and relying on modern knowledge, Zhong Wuregret saved himself again. However, he has been choked half to death, although the other party withdrew, Zhong Wuregret still did not dare to take it lightly, he can win in chaos, can he guarantee that the opponent will not take his life in chaos?
It wasn't until Zhong Wuregret quickly got into a carriage that he breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Doulan didn't care about the presence of everyone, and hugged Zhong Wuregret and cried.
Zhong Wuregret's image at this time was indeed embarrassing, the clothes on his body were tattered, his face was black and white, and his hair was also burned a little yellow, emitting a burst of stench.
Qu Rong didn't say a word, silently checking whether there were any wounds on his body.
At this time, someone came to report that the king of Chu had arrived and came to visit Zhong Wuregret in person, and the king of Chu was followed by the young master Jia Song. Ziyi's favorite concubine Meizhi also came with several beautiful concubines to accompany the king of Chu.
Zhong Wuregret once again performed the characteristics of a bad seed, he actually cried coquettishly in front of the King of Chu like a son seeing his mother, and even Meiji, who came with the King of Chu, pursed the corners of his mouth contemptuously, revealing a disdainful gaze, only Meizhi was still looking at Zhong Wuregret with a smile.
The king of Chu seemed to be a little impatient, and said perfunctorily to Zhong Wuregret: "Aiqing has suffered, but what about my wine?" This king shall not go a day without wine, you know. ”
Zhong Wuregret immediately stopped crying and said, "The carriage overturned, and the wine was all spilled." ”
"If that's the case, Lord Zhong should know how to do it now." The king of Chu said.
Zhong Wuregret hurriedly knelt down: "I'll go buy it right away, but please ask the king to be kind and let the young master accompany me." ”
"Accurate!" After that, the king of Chu took the beauties and left.
Zhong Wuregret and Young Master Jia Song came to the carriage and rushed to the market, Zhong Wuregret asked Jia Song in the carriage, "Does the Young Master know where I was attacked?" ”
At this time, the two carriages were closely guarded by soldiers in front and behind, so as not to be attacked by the enemy.
Jia Song's face was a little heavy: "The place where Lord Zhong was attacked was originally an industry of Mrs. Peach Blossom, and after Mrs. Peach Blossom died, I don't know who she resold it to. The man was mysterious and said to be rich.
The man was usually very self-conscious, but every slave in the mansion had never seen their master, and it was not even clear whether it was a man or a woman. ”
"Mrs. Peach?" Zhong Wuregret was taken aback when he heard this.
This is a famous beauty in the Spring and Autumn Period! Because of her beauty, she sparked a feud between three countries and led to the demise of one country. She is desperate to step into the political maelstrom, but fate has brought her to the center of power, becoming a competition for kings.
She became queen of two countries, remained silent for three years to protect the husband of the first king, and later kept a festival for the husband of the second king. She is the concubine known as "Mrs. Peach Blossom".
Unexpectedly, she once had an industry here.
"Ever since the last time I met Lord Zhong and asked me to establish a secret base, I've been paying close attention to everything here. In the county, I have secretly sent someone to do a comprehensive investigation to prevent secrets from being leaked.
The people who investigated felt that there was something unusual about this mansion, but they couldn't find any problems, and the owner of this house was honest and peaceful, so he had to give up. Jason said.
"After we have bought the wine, shall we go and visit the owner of this place? There is a fire, and as an official of Yiyi, it is time to visit the victims to show condolences! Zhong Wuregret said.
"Lord Zhong wants to go in person?" Jason said.
"That's right!" Zhong Wuregret thought, just can't find any clues, it's good to visit places of interest, the place after the death of celebrities is a monument, and the place after the death of mortals is garbage, and everyone must be willing to visit the monuments. Moreover, when he heard that it was the industry of the peerless beauty "Mrs. Peach Blossom", Zhong Wuregret was more interested.
