Chapter 253: Assassination
When Wei Shuo returned to the post house, Mo Han, Zhang Biao, Duan Wenyang and others stepped forward to congratulate him on his promotion, and even Mao Bao, who had just joined, was excited.
"Alright, alright, don't follow the foolishness!"
"What's the matter, lord? What's wrong? ”
"I lit an artillery battle in the palace today, and it caused a burst of chickens and dogs to jump."
"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.
"Actually, it's nothing, today I can see clearly, the Jiangzuo forces led by King Langya will never support the Northern Expedition and recover the old capital! In the future, in order to show off in front of everyone, King Langya may pretend, but don't expect King Langya to really fight with Hu Lu! ”
Hearing Wei Shuo comment on King Langya like this, the others were nothing, only Mao Bao showed a little embarrassment on his face. He couldn't tell whether what Wei Shuo said was true or false, but seeing Wei Shuo acting so excited, he thought it was eighty percent true.
Mo Han sneered, and the corners of his mouth showed a little disdain, "Actually, there is nothing strange about it, it is said that in order to prevent the little overlord Sun Ce from going north to the Central Plains to compete with Cao Cao for hegemony, he did not hesitate to deliberately set up a killing situation, and let Xu Gongmen assassinate him." King Langya is not as domineering as Sun Ce, and he needs the power of the family to help him stabilize the position of the Sima family in Jiangzuo, so naturally he will not choose to work against the family no matter what! ”
"Why is the family unwilling to support the Northern Expedition of King Langya?" Mao Bao was originally from the Central Plains, and he hoped that the imperial court could recover the Central Plains as soon as possible.
"Benefits! The Northern Expedition is detrimental to the interests of the family, and he is naturally unwilling to support the Northern Expedition, otherwise why would Jiang Zuo's ancestral history linger in Huaiyin for several years? ”
Wei Shuo waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and he reminded: "How the King of Langya and the family plan it has nothing to do with my Liaodong, we have been in Jiangzuo for some time, and we can be regarded as having seen the scenery of Jiangnan." It's time for us to go back to Liaodong! ”
At this time, a guard came in and reported: "Lord Qiqi, someone has sent an invitation." ”
"Invitation?"
Wei Shuo didn't expect to receive an invitation from others, he didn't have many friends in Jiangzuo, but most of them were enemies, who would invite him? He took the invitation in confusion and opened it to take a look, and was surprised when he saw the word Lu Ye. It turned out that Lu Ye invited him to be a guest at Lu Mansion tomorrow morning. Although he couldn't figure out the details of the other party, Wei Shuo still decided to go to Lu Mansion tomorrow.
The next day, under the protection of the palace guards and three hundred guards, Wei Shuo took Mo Han, Duan Wenyang, Mao Bao and others out of the post station, and slowly galloped all the way to the Lu Mansion.
"My lord, there is a pontoon bridge ahead." Mo Han pointed ahead and said loudly.
There are many buildings on both sides of the Qinhuai River, many commercial ports, crowded people, and busy traffic. It looks very lively.
Wei Shuo looked at the dense crowd of tourists on the Qinhuai River and sighed: "It's really lively here!" Let's get off the horse and take a look. ”
After speaking, he flew off his horse and walked along the pontoon bridge accompanied by Mo Han, Wei Shuo enjoyed the charming scenery on both sides of the Qinhuai River while walking.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and dozens of masked men emerged from under the bridge, on the boat, and at both ends of the pontoon bridge, and came straight to Wei Shuo with sharp blades in their hands.
"There are assassins!" After a roar from Nengchen, who was in charge of opening the way in front, he pulled out his ring head knife and rushed forward first.
Hearing this, Wei Shuo didn't even think about it, and instinctively drew his sword. At the same time, the figure flickered and pushed Mo Han aside, and at this moment, an arrow roared. Thanks to his body being modified and he has been practicing martial arts, he narrowly escaped the killing game.
General Zhenbei was assassinated, and the crowd on both sides of the Qinhuai River was in chaos, and there were wolf rushing figures and panicked shouts everywhere.
Nengchen clenched the ring head knife in both hands and went straight to the assassin, and the assassin looked coldly at Nengchen who was roaring like madness. Methodically draw the long sword on his back.
"Dangdang!" A sound of swords and swords resounded, and Neng Chen's tiger mouth shook three steps back.
If you talk about martial arts alone, there is no one in Liaodong who is better than Duan Wenyang, but the rest of the generals are not general. I didn't think that he was easily forced back three steps by the assassin today, and the anger in the heart of the self-esteemed Neng Chen can be imagined, and he burst into a loud breath to stop his body. Instead of retreating, he slashed at the assassin again.
Just after Wei Shuo dodged the attack of the bow and arrow, more than a dozen black-clothed masked men suddenly rushed up from both sides of the pontoon bridge, each holding a long sword and pounced on the palace guards who were blocking in front of Wei Shuo. Most of the palace guards were killed in a blink of an eye, and more than a dozen survivors scattered in the screams.
Duan Wenyang, Zhang Biao, and Mao Bao shouted again and again, and the Liaodong guards gathered as quickly as possible, and surrounded Wei Shuo and Mo Han in the middle, forming a dense barrel formation.
"Lord...... Lord, Mr. Mo, are you all right? Duan Wenyang looked at Wei Shuo nervously and Mo Han shouted loudly.
"We're fine! It's just that the assassins should have something to do! ”
Wei Shuo shouted angrily: "Wen Yang, Shuo Zhen, Erlang, pass on my general order: all assassins will be killed!" Don't let one go! ”
"Lord, don't you take prisoners?"
"What prisoners? No! ”
Wei Shuo figured it out in a short period of time, leaving the captives would only bring trouble, anyway, he couldn't find revenge for the time being, so it was better to kill him first. With Wei Shuo's order, Duan Wenyang, Zhang Biao, and Mao Bao were like three tigers descending from the mountain, roaring and leading the guards to kill the assassin.
At this time, Mo Hancai came to Wei Shuo's side with grinning teeth, "Lord, are you injured?" ”
Wei Shuo pointed his sword at the arrow on the ground and sneered, "You want to hurt me with this thing?" Hum! They look down on Lao Tzu too much, Lao Tzu is not a weak scholar, but a lion who can eat people! ”
Perhaps he was not used to seeing Wei Shuo there, but an assassin with his own martial arts skills flew towards him.
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth, and he instructed the guards around him: "Protect Mr. Mo, the assassin is handed over to me!" ”
This group of assassins was highly martial arts, and most of the hundred palace guards were killed in the blink of an eye. After the Liaodong guards lost more than a dozen people, they were able to stabilize the situation, and it was not until the arrival of Duan Wenyang, Zhang Biao, and Mao Bao that the situation was completely reversed.
Duan Wenyang's highest martial arts sword roared and slashed at one person head-on, followed by Zhang Biao and Mao Bao, all of whom were brave people, and they roared like a hurricane, leaving a broken arm and stump.
Just when Nengchen was trying his best to deal with the assassin, Duan Wenyang roared, and the sword slashed down, and the two masters immediately made the assassin with the highest martial arts rush to mess up, and after two or three moves, he was slashed on the neck by Nengchen at the opportunity.
"How's the lord?" Nengchen touched the blood on his face and asked loudly.
"The lord is fine, if you want me to wait and kill!" Duan Wenyang kicked an assassin away and replied.
"Kill!"
Wei Shuo raised his head to the sky and roared, the assassin inspired the tyranny in his heart, he held the sword in both hands, the momentum was like a rainbow, and suddenly rose into the air, the long sword in his hand turned into a spirit and the momentum was terrifying, and went straight to the assassin's chest.
The assassin was shocked, he didn't expect Wei Shuo to be a master, just at the moment of his hesitation, the long sword in Wei Shuo's hand stabbed straight into the assassin's chest, only to hear the assassin open his mouth and let out a scream, and his body froze and fell to the ground and died.
Wei Shuo and his men were too strong, but after a few breaths of effort, there were no living assassins, nearly a hundred assassins were killed by them in the blink of an eye, and the guards only suffered more than 20 casualties, and Wei Shuo was not even injured by a single hair.
……
The news of Wei Shuo's assassination in the Qinhuai River spread quickly throughout Jianye like the wind. At the same time, Jiangdong experienced the strength of the Liaodong people for the first time, and none of the 100 assassins escaped the net, while the loss of Liaodong was only a few dozen. Compared with the Liaodong guards, the performance of the palace guards simply made Jiang Zuo lose face.
When King Langya learned the final result, a complicated emotion surged in his heart. is not only angry that Wei Shuo was assassinated, but also has some regret for Wei Shuo's immortality.
With the assassination of Wei Shuo, the situation in Jianye has become strange, and many people have speculated who dared to assassinate important officials of the court on the street in the face of the world's condemnation. However, to the surprise of the outside world, it only took less than half a day for the Langya Wangfu to announce the results of the investigation, claiming that the assassin was sent by Hu Lu!
After Wei Shuo learned the news, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he became more determined to leave Jianye, and he did not plan to come to Jiangzuo again in the future.
"Tell me to go down, and in two days, I will ask King Langya to resign and return to Liaodong!" (To be continued.) )
