Chapter 406: Failed Assassination
Night fell quietly.
The back garden of the county government, Yuan Xu's residence.
Gao Yuan stood in the room respectfully, and An Yuning was with him.
"Childe came to Luancheng, and I waited for a lot of glory on my face!" Gao Yuan said: "County Lieutenant An has ordered to go down, and the county soldiers will gather outside the mansion tonight, and no one is allowed to come and disturb them." ”
"Why?" To Gao Yuan's surprise, Yuan Xu was not grateful, but asked.
was stunned by his question, and looked at An Yuning from afar.
"Don't hide it from your son!" An Yuning saluted and said: "Although Luancheng is in Jizhou, far away from Cao Cao in Yuzhou, it has not been peaceful here recently. The prince is a nobleman, how can he be disturbed when he comes here? That's how it was arranged! ”
"I see!" Yuan Xu nodded and smiled: "When the two of you learned that someone intended to be unfavorable to you, it seems that you have thought too much!" ”
"Don't worry, Childe!" Gao Yuan said: "In Luancheng, there should be no loss of the son!" ”
"There is labor!" Yuan Xu thanked the two.
"Tomorrow's son is going on the road, the two of us don't dare to bother, so we will leave first!" Gao Yuan bowed and bowed, and said goodbye.
Yuan Xu got up and sent the two of them to the door, watching their backs disappearing into the night, a light smile on the corner of his mouth.
"There's something weird about these two!" Standing behind Yuan Xu, Ma Yi said: "Talking is slurred, I always feel that it is not crisp enough!" ”
"You noticed that too?"
"Hmm!"
"They must have gotten the news, someone is trying to do something bad to someone!" Yuan Xu said: "Even if you send more county soldiers, but you refuse to tell the reason, there must be a reason!" ”
"Do you need to send someone to investigate?" Ma Yi asked.
"Not necessarily!" Yuan Xu said: "I'll leave early tomorrow morning, so I don't need to spend too much effort in Luancheng!" ”
The night is getting darker.
They were going to leave early the next morning, and Yuan Xu and the others went to bed early.
The back garden of the county government, responsible for the night thorns and guards of the guard. One by one, their eyes widened and they looked around vigilantly.
The back garden is very quiet, except for the "rustling" sound of the night wind rubbing the branches and leaves, there is no abnormal movement.
The vigilant Nightthorns didn't notice that a dark shadow lurked on a wall not far from them.
Under black. The graceful posture is extremely enchanting.
The snow-white pretty face is like a full moon, but her hiding place is extremely secret, and even the night thorn in the back garden has not been able to find this "Chanjuan" hanging on the wall.
She is Gongsun Ying'er.
Scanning the back garden, Gongsun Ying'er observed the position of each night thorn and guard.
Good at lurking、Assassination,Of course, the night thorn knows where to enter the back garden from the easiest way.。
There are not many of them, but they are very particular about their position, and they almost do not miss any blind spots!
After observing for a moment, a faint smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. Jumped off the wall.
There was barely a sound from his feet touching the ground.
Lying dormant in the bushes in the back garden, Gongsun Ying'er did not act immediately, but analyzed from which angle to cut into Yuan Xu's residence.
The Night Thorn is very elaborate, and any one person becomes a horn with several others.
Kill one of them, and the others will find out immediately.
The only option is to bypass the night thorn and go directly to Yuan Xu's room!
But the observation range of the night thorn occupies almost the entire blind spot of the back garden.
In addition to them, there were also guards who stood by their swords.
Gongsun Ying'er is also a little difficult.
She infiltrated the back garden of the county hall at the same time. Dozens of dark shadows gathered in an alley not far from here.
Luancheng, where the nightlife is almost blank, arrives at night. There weren't even half a pedestrian on the street.
The dark alleys are even quieter.
Looking at the wall of the county government, a black shadow said to the stout man standing at the mouth of the alley with his back against the wall: "The county has sent troops to guard this place, and it may be difficult to do it tonight!" ”
"When I come here, I can't go home empty-handed." It was Xu Chu who was hiding at the entrance of the alley, and he whispered: "No matter what, go in first and take a look before you make a plan!" ”
The crowd behind him was silent.
Hands-on in the city can rely on complex terrain. Even if you lose, you can evacuate in time!
There are advantages, and of course, disadvantages.
If it doesn't work out, or if it is discovered after it happens, Luancheng will be closed, and the only option to leave here is to break in.
Near the main entrance of the prefectural government. There were many county soldiers gathered.
Along the outer walls, from time to time there would be a group of patrolling soldiers.
There is very little gap between teams, and the people in front don't walk by for long, and the people behind will follow.
After observing for a while, Xu Chu lowered his voice and said: "There are four teams of county soldiers patrolling along the wall, and each team is separated by half a cup of tea. There were many county soldiers gathered outside the gate, and it was almost impossible to enter through the main gate. The only way to sneak in without alerting the guards is to take advantage of the patrolmen's walk by and enter through the wall! ”
The crowd was silent, waiting for his order.
"Let's go!" beckoned, Xu Chu took the lead and ran towards the wall.
Gongsun Ying'er, who jumped into the back garden, hibernated in the shadows, still waiting for the opportunity.
She suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and when she looked back, she saw a few more dark shadows on the wall.
Seeing those dark shadows, her pretty face suddenly turned cold.
I had already seen the gap between the night thorns, and I was about to sneak in, but someone went up to the wall.
The climbing spot they chose happened to be within the sight of the Night Thorn.
Gongsun Ying'er knew that she would not be able to kill Yuan Xu tonight.
No matter who is on the wall, they have already ruined Gongsun Ying'er's plan.
Sure enough, a figure appeared on the wall, and the night thorn in the back garden moved.
They all took out their longbows, and the night stabs each chose the shadows, aiming at the black shadows that appeared on the wall.
Seeing them behave like this, Gongsun Ying'er slowly retreated.
At the base of the wall, she first observed the location of the person who had been discovered by the Night Thorn, and then determined that she could not be found, and got up and jumped to the wall.
On the wall, she glanced back at Yuan Xu's residence, her pretty brows furrowed slightly, and she jumped down.
Gongsun Ying'er left, and Xu Chu and others climbed the wall.
was about to lead everyone to jump off, when a person next to Xu Chu let out a muffled snort and fell down.
Immediately after, several other people fell from the wall, and Xu Chu vaguely heard the sound of bowstrings flicking and arrows breaking through the air from the courtyard.
"Discovered! Walk! Arrows flew in the courtyard, Xu Chu let out a low cry and jumped into the street outside the wall.
The people who had already gone up to the wall jumped off after him.
Two of the unlucky ones had not had time to jump off when they were shot by arrows flying from the courtyard and fell from the wall.
Glancing at the man who fell off the wall, Xu Chu did not turn back to rescue, but led the others to jump into the nearby alley quickly through the night.
Arrows were shot in the inner courtyard, and someone fell from the wall, which quickly alarmed the county soldiers guarding the outside.
Hordes of county soldiers ran to the place where someone had fallen, and by the time they arrived, the wounded assassin had already stabbed his short sword into the heart, killing his own family! (To be continued.) )
