Chapter 61: Night Shadow Warrior (Part I)
Su Hanzhen and Wu Jin glanced at each other suspiciously, there was something urgent about Huangfu Bailing, Su Hanzhen hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite the old master to come in!" ”
After a while, Huangfu Bailing was brought in, and his brother Baile got a message in the teahouse opened by Huangfu's family that Jiangning Mansion had sent a warrior to assassinate Weiming, which made his heart hang and hurriedly came to find Su Hanzhen.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Jin, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, how could Wu Jin be here, Su Hanzhen smiled, pointed at Wu Jin and explained to Huangfu Bailing: "I am discussing with Wu Jin to deal with a possible crisis." ”
Huangfu Bailing hurriedly saluted and said hurriedly: "I also just got a message that someone wants to assassinate Wei Ming." ”
Su Hanzhen was stunned, "Old man, where did this news come from?" ”
"It's my brother Baile who heard a few tea friends tell him that a very powerful warrior came to Jiangning Mansion to assassinate Weiming."
"Tea friends?" Su Hanzhen frowned slightly, how could such confidential information be circulated in the teahouse, even if Xu Yuan had this heart, he would never leak it, and the reliability of this news was not very good.
At this time, Wu Jin said slowly: "My lord, I think it's very possible. ”
Su Hanzhen believed in Wu Jin more, and he turned around and asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"Have you forgotten? That Shadow Warrior ..... "Wu Jin reminded Su Hanzhen a little.
In the morning, he also recognized Feng Chasing Yun, and he and Huangfu Qu had come to their mansion, and last time it was the female warrior who was with him who stabbed herself.
After being stabbed last time, Wu Jin also specially inquired about the profession of samurai, and he learned that the original samurai was an evolution of the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, but it was more refined, it used to be for the selection of military generals, but now it has become a profession, and it is a kind of control of the imperial court over the martial arts practitioners.
And the Shadow Samurai is the highest level of the samurai profession, and he is a high-level fighter raised by the royal family.
Although Wu Jin didn't know the purpose of this shadow warrior, he knew two things, first of all, Huangfu Yibiao and Uncle Shen Guo were wearing the same pair of pants, and the two actually used the same shadow warrior.
Secondly, Shen Yuan sent a shadow warrior to Weiyang County, it should never be as simple as sending a letter, Wu Jin has always had an intuition that the other party will do whatever it takes, and at this time, his grandfather's reminder made him trust his instincts even more.
"Have you ever thought about it, if Shen Yuan is just to deliver a letter, he can send anyone, why send a shadow warrior, and he is also a person from Huangfu Yibiao, he must have other tasks when he comes to Weiyang County."
"Maybe he's trying to assassinate me!" Su Hanzhen said intently.
"If it was to assassinate an adult, there are many opportunities, and you can start a long time ago, I won't wait until now, besides, if the official reaches the adult level, he won't easily use this kind of assassination, which will cause a big shock in the officialdom, what do you think?"
Su Hanzhen nodded, he admitted that Wu Jin had a point, but he didn't understand, how could this top-secret plan be leaked to the Huangfu family, and what kind of tricks were hidden in it?
"My lord, don't think about it so much, I'll deal with this matter!"
Wu Jin now needs to go to Heimi for help and keep an eye on that shadow warrior first.
.........
After Huang Feng's attack on Ma Jixiang, the election of the head of Hu Cao strengthened his vigilance and separated the last three candidates.
The northernmost side of the academy street is the official school of Donghai County, covering an area of vast area, there are more than 300 acres, there are high walls all around, blue bricks and red tiles, dozens of ancient buildings are hidden in the pine and cypress, the official school has more than 3,000 scholars, it is composed of three academies of Qingsong Academy, Shuangju Hall and Hanmei Hall.
This time, the examination will be held in the side hall of the Hanmei Pavilion, and the time is the morning after tomorrow, and the examination room has been closed, and the final search and cleaning will be carried out tomorrow.
At this time, the three candidates lived in Qingsong Courtyard, Shuangju Hall and Hanmei Hall respectively, but they lived in Shuangju Hall, and all three of them had special personnel to serve them, and the accommodation conditions were very good, but they were not allowed to go downstairs, let alone leave the academy.
In order to ensure their safety, the Weiyang County Ya even sent 30 capable officials to garrison them in the small building where they lived.
In the afternoon, a young man who looks like a scholar entered the official school, he is tall and handsome, it is the shadow warrior wind chasing the clouds, although he is a samurai, but at this time he is wearing a brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a scarf on his head, and he is not holding a horizontal knife, but a Fusang folding fan, which looks elegant and chic, such as a jade tree in the wind, but it is a pity that there is no woman in the official school, otherwise his demeanor will fascinate a large number of girls.
It seems that he has completely escaped the bad luck of the early morning.
No one cares about him, the official school is originally a free place, the wind chasing clouds along a path paved with cobblestones to the frost chrysanthemum hall, he walks very slowly, from time to time there are a group of scholars from him quickly walk by, he is enjoying the scenery along the way, the height of the building, which tree can borrow strength, and finally his eyes fell on the window on the fourth floor of the library building, the library building is about six zhang high, octagonal cornices, there are copper beast wind chimes in the eaves corner, it is easy to climb up.
"May I ask if this brother has just arrived?"
A question sounded next to him, and Feng Chaiyun turned around, only to see a very young scholar sitting on a stone bench not far away, that is, sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was very tall and burly, with dark skin, a pair of attractive ears, and a pair of slender and slender eyes, always squinting and laughing, giving people a lazy and lazy feeling.
It's just that his dark skin and thick hands make people think that he has just come out of the crop field, and Feng Chaiyun is looking for someone to inquire about the situation of the academy, so he arches his hand and smiles: "Under the surname Feng, a native of the capital, I came to Weiyang County to study, I just came, may I ask your junior brother's surname?" ”
"My surname is Zhao, my name is Zhao Tao, a native of Donglai County, I came to Weiyang County with my father three years ago to make a living, studying at Qingsong Academy, and I am preparing to take the Xiucai exam this fall."
Zhao Tao is the name of Wujin's previous life, he sat here to fish for the fish of Feng Chayun, he has been waiting for a long time, he has seen Feng Chayun twice, so he recognized him at a glance, but he was afraid that Feng Chayun would recognize him, so he did a little makeup, deepened his eyebrows, and pasted a mustache, and then wore a soft foot hat, his appearance changed greatly, plus a mouthful of Donglai dialect, he couldn't recognize him anyway.
"Come, Brother Feng, please take a seat!"
Wu Jin patted the stone bench beside him, a mouthful of white teeth exposed, and he smiled innocently.
"Huh! Senior Brother Zhao was polite. ”
Feng Chayun sat down, he was very tall, almost as tall as Wu Jin, but he belonged to the slender and merry type, far less strong than Wu Jin, after all, he was also a martial artist, and he was a little envious of the muscles on Wu Jin's shoulders.
"Senior Brother Zhao is very strong! What does the family do? ”
"I went to sea with my father since I was a child, and then my father said that fishing was unproductive, let me study, Brother Feng, I studied in Qingsong Academy, and came to play with me when I had time, I like to practice swords, I see that Brother Feng is quite thin, and I will teach you to practice swords in the future."
Feng Chaiyun couldn't help but pout, this kid actually wanted to teach himself to practice swords, he was really blind, his heart was full of disdain, but he still forced a smile, "No wonder Senior Brother Zhao has a fishy smell on his body, it turns out to be a fishing family." ”
"Do I have a strong fishy smell?"
Wu Jin sniffed his sleeve, and the mockery in Feng Chayun's eyes became even stronger, "Yes! I smell it from afar, and it deserves to be a fishing family, huh! I will definitely come to Zhao Xuedi to practice swords when I have time, but I want to ask Zhao Xuedi, can I borrow books from this library? ”
He pointed to the library building of the Frost Ju Hall, "It seems that I just saw that there is a tolerance, what is going on?" ”
"It used to be possible, but not in the past two days, it is said that there is a child of an official eunuch, and there is a tolerance guard, so no one is allowed to borrow books."
Wu Jin covered his mouth with his palm, lowered his voice and said: "There are ten servants living on the second floor, all of them are fierce and vicious, Brother Feng, don't go, beware of those dogs hurting you." ”
"Oh!" Feng Chaiyun pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and asked, "What floor does that official eunuch live on?" ”
"I was still on the fourth floor in the morning, and I heard a few officials just now say that he seemed to think that the books on the fourth floor were not good, so he moved to the fifth floor again."
"Are you serious?"
Feng Chayun really cares this time, the information he got is that the target lives on the fourth floor, and now he has actually moved to the fifth floor, which is very important for his operation.
"It should be, I saw him open the window just now to breathe, and many people saw it, what's the matter, does Brother Feng know him?"
"Nope! No! ”
Feng Chayun hurriedly waved his hand, "I just asked casually, in fact, I don't know this person." ”
He glanced at the fifth floor again, as if he had opened the window, he was secretly glad that he had found someone to ask first, and after checking everything that should have been checked, he stood up and arched his hand, "I have taken a step in advance, thank you Senior Brother Zhao, I will come to you to practice swords in the future." ”
"Okay!" Wu Jin waited for him to walk more than a dozen steps, and then said with a smile: "Brother Feng, look at the soles of your shoes to see if you have stepped on something, why is there a smell of feces and urine on your body?" I smell it from afar. ”
Feng Chasing Cloud was so angry that he wanted to step forward and slap this kid, but a group of scholars came beside him, he had to snort heavily, ignore him and leave, and after walking a few steps, he still couldn't help but sniff his arm.
Wu Jin smiled and squinted, it can be seen from the subtleties of Feng Chasing Yun holding a fan that this person is left-handed, but he practices the knife in his right hand, his right foot is very stable, but his left foot is slightly floating, so that when he turns sharply, there will be a very slight gap under his left ribs.
