Chapter 31: The Assassination in Progress

Wu Lao Er has always believed that being the boss can not have the best skills, because the best skills may be double-flower red sticks, and there can be no wisest minds, because the smartest may be white paper fans. Now Wu Lao has neither a double-flower red stick nor a white paper fan, so he has to do everything himself.

On the day before the Chung Yeung Festival, all the arrangements of Wu Lao Er were in place. What is his arrangement? It's nothing more than borrowing the light of King Zhao to block the main road or something. After all, it is one of the most important festivals, and King Zhao will also climb high and look far away with the city lord Zhao Jun, so the army in the city, the garrison outside the city, and the Yulin guard of the palace will all be escorted along the way. Although this greatly improved the safety level of Zhao Wang, Zhao Jun and others, Wu Lao Er did not dare to slack off. The assassination of martial arts people is sometimes not something that the army can prevent. It was Wu Lao Er who ordered the Jinyi Guard to be transferred back, and these guys didn't find any trace of the enemy outside. Of course, when Wu Lao Er transferred them to the outside of the city, it was not mainly for them to track down the enemy, it was just incidental.

Stretch lazily against the sun. Wu Lao Er has focused on the production of new menus in recent days, after all, he is the only one who can teach chefs.

Wu Lao Er was not a foodie in his previous life, but he often cooked and ate by himself. And everywhere you go, you will try local specialties, delicacies, snacks and so on. Therefore, if you ask him to do it, he may not do it well, but what he says will still be the truth.

Wu Lao Er deeply found that his life was too fulfilling, and things seemed to be incomplete one by one. Li Dongyi's matter is fermenting, and the Li family has also sent someone to take over the industry, but there is no further investigation, which also shows the attitude of the Li family. After thinking about his recent arrangements, Chongyang protects Zhao Jun and others, and then he will train chefs, open restaurants, and develop his own liquor, as well as the most important martial arts. Wu Lao Er even thought about whether he should resign and concentrate on running a business, thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, everything he has now, which one is missing the official body? Without the current position of the head of the palace, do you think Tang Qingqian and his ilk will listen to their own words and build a chain restaurant? Duan Tianbao will come to hug his thighs? Can you live in such a nice house now? Just kidding......

In the 103rd year of the new calendar of the White Jade Empire, on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Double Ninth Festival.

The number "nine" has a special meaning in ancient China, nine is the yang number, and it is the largest in the singular, so "nine" is the honor of the number, and also represents the extreme of the world. The 9th of September is an auspicious day to be celebrated. Ninety-nine Double Yang appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to the literature, at that time, the people had the custom of climbing high and drinking chrysanthemum wine. In this era, the Double Ninth Festival is also an extremely important day, in the absence of many festivals in later generations, the Double Ninth Festival and the Winter Solstice, the Spring Festival, the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival), and the Tongtian Festival (the birthday of the Son of Heaven) have become one of the most important festivals in the country. As for the Dragon Boat Festival, it has not yet become a tradition.

The practice of the Chung Yeung Festival is to climb high and look far away, plant dogwood, and drink chrysanthemum wine. Wu Lao Er is ascending now, of course, he is a supporting role.

Zhao Wang Baiqi and Zhao Jun, the city lord of Daye, these two are well-deserved protagonists today. As for Wu Lao Er, who can only play a supporting role, not the main match, in this repertoire in which officials at all levels and representatives of various families appear, Wu Lao Er is stronger than those passers-by, such as Duan Tianbao, Zhou Ji and others.

When Wu Lao Er was still a Hongxing talker, he didn't have many festivals, and he didn't have many festivals like the Double Ninth Festival, which had cultural heritage and were not popular. Since coming to this world, it has been a state of "deep palace uncultivated", so if you want to talk about the holiday, this may be the first time. It's a pity that someone came to look for trouble today, and they couldn't have a good time.

Things are almost arranged, security, there is never a safe time. Wu Lao Er made eye contact with Zhou Ji while climbing up the mountain.

"Is there anyone from the Four Seas Gang?"

Zhou Ji swept around with his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Tang Qing came over just now and said that everything was arranged according to what you said. Will the miscellaneous people of the Black Jade Country really come? ”

Not only did Zhou Ji have doubts in his heart, but Wu Lao Er also had them. It's not been ten or eight years since the two countries didn't deal with each other, why did they come to kill the city lord of Daye City this year? Zhao Jun is not a great character, and it is not that without him, Daye City will not be able to play. And although the Double Ninth Festival is a big day, it is easier for the people to mix in it, but this is not a reason to say in the past. Wu Lao Er wondered in his heart, could it be because he had passed through the rebirth body with a curse attribute? That's not right, I don't know Zhao Jun well, and I should assassinate King Zhao.

Wu Lao Er and the others kept an eye on the crowd around them while catching up with the footsteps of Zhao Wang and the others. At this time, King Zhao, Zhao Jun and others were sticking dogwoods in their heads, talking and laughing. Zhao Jun had already gotten the news from Wu Lao Er in advance, and more than a dozen of his guards were also with him. Wu Lao Er was sure in his heart, with so many people following and protecting, unless the other party used the army, it would never be easy to do it. What's more, there are still 200 former Yulin Army guards in the palace under the mountain. Besides, now that there is a battle ahead, how can the army get by? Wu Lao Er is not the material for assassination, you have to say that the two sides are clearly against each other, and he is good at killing everyone with knives and guns.

Zhao Wang Baiqi was very interested at this time, although he also knew about the assassin, but firstly, the target was not him, and secondly, there were so many guards today, so he also relieved most of his heart. "I heard that the front line is winning one after another, and the Marquis of Wei Jun beat Qin Yang's traitor back to the Twin Cities?"

Wu Lao Er knew that Qin Yang was the Marquis of Wuyang of the original White Jade Empire, and later defeated the twin cities of the Black Jade Kingdom and rebelled and lived. As for the Marquis of Wei in King Zhao's mouth, it must be Wei Junsheng, the father of Wei Wuving, who had fought with him. It is said that Wei Junsheng fought countless battles in his life, originally led the right guard army in the south to confront Qinghai State, stabilized the south of the empire for more than 20 years, and made brilliant achievements, and was named Marquis of Liang, and the world called him the Marquis of Wei. Since the Qinyang Rebellion, because he was familiar with the generals and troops of Baiyuguo, the generals sent by Baiyuguo to Baishan City were invincible, so Wei Junsheng was transferred to the general of the left guard. Wei Junsheng's ability was already on par with Qin Yang, coupled with Qin Yang's defection to the enemy, the generals and soldiers in the army were indignant, and they were excited when they beat the soldiers led by Qin Yang, and their combat effectiveness rose sharply, so there were victories as King Zhao said.

Zhao Jun, as the supreme commander of the logistics base on the northern front, obviously knew more about the battle ahead, and nodded: "Qin Yang's traitor is aggressive, and he has retreated to the Twin Cities after being pursued by Wei Junhou repeatedly. Now Wei Junhou is under the Twin Cities, and he will only break through the Twin Cities as soon as the time comes. At that time, all the way to the north, as long as the west resists the Huangshi Kingdom, you can go straight down to the Black Jade City and return my white jade hometown. ”

Bai Qi laughed and said: "As the Zhao City Lord said, now that my White Jade Empire is strong and strong, it is the time to sweep away the universe and level the universe!" ”

Everyone laughed, but Wu Lao Er pretended to laugh on the surface and complained in his heart. The road to the unification of Baiyu Country has been bumpy, and it has been a hundred years, and I haven't seen you destroy a country. If you want to say that it is so easy to withstand the attack of the Huangshi Kingdom, people are not given for nothing, it is often the black jade and Huangshi countries that work together to beat your Baiyu family, and other countries around are still eyeing each other, compared to the situation of Qin Shi Huang unifying the six countries, it is not too far behind. In the past hundred years, even the Twin Cities on the most border of the Black Jade Country have not been able to be defeated, and I really don't know what these people are laughing at. Now that the Seven Kingdoms are competing for hegemony, although it is the white jade country, the national strength is known as the strongest, but there are still many drawbacks in the country. And it is located in the center of the veritable place of the four wars, and in Wu Laoer's opinion, it is also the most difficult to succeed.

The crowd talked and came to the predetermined place. It's not the highest point, but it's very wide and has a good view. Duan Tianbao had already taken someone to inspect and wait here, and when he saw that King Zhao was waiting, he walked quickly to Wu Lao'er and whispered: "My lord, everything is in order, no one has ever come up in advance, and the surrounding places that are easy to hide people have also sent brothers to guard." ”

Wu Lao Er nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it's good to tell everyone to stay vigilant, don't relax." ”

Duan Tianbao nodded in agreement, and slowly took two steps back before turning around and striding away.

Wu Lao Er didn't understand, with such a tight defense, how could the assassins of the Black Jade Kingdom assassinate Zhao Jun? Even when he returned to the city, he wouldn't let people let their guard down, could it be that the news was wrong? Wu Lao Er hated Jin Yiwei and the idiots for not being able to find the trace of the assassin, no way, even if the assassin didn't come today, Wu Lao Er had to find out the people, otherwise maybe one day if these people really succeeded in assassinating, it would be Wu Lao Er's disadvantage. But thinking about the terrorists engaging in assassination and sabotage, it must be a sensation, on such a big day today, killing Zhao Jun in front of everyone, and killing ordinary people, the influence is definitely not on the same line. Although I don't know what Heiyuguo's idea is, Wu Lao Er thinks that since the other party is engaged in assassination, it must be vigorous, otherwise a Zhao Jun will die, but it is just a matter of sending Li Jun and Wang Jun again.

When the sun was in the middle of the sky, the climbing activity was over, and Wu Lao Er helplessly pulled and pulled (Northeast dialect, which means not angry to touch?). The dogwood on his head waved his hand to Zhou Ji and Duan Tianbao, and the two of them nodded helplessly, and ran down the mountain first. There's no way, if it's an assassination today, then it must be this part of the way back to the city after going down the mountain. Over there, Zhao Jun didn't know what to say to Bai Qi, so he turned his head and said something to the guards beside him, and Zhao Jun's guards also ran down the mountain first.

At the foot of the mountain, Wu Lao Er nervously followed Zhao Wang Baiqi and Zhao Jun's side. The road back to the city was full of people, and the surging appearance of the crowd reminded Wu Lao Er of a sketch line: 'Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing, red flags are waving, and people are crowded.' The Yulin army and the city guards tried their best to squeeze a path, and all around them were people returning from the heights, all talking happily. At this moment, a carriage rushed from the spur, and the driver on the wheel did not care about the crowd at all, but drove the horse pulling the cart to speed up. The crowd began to disorganize, and the cries of children, the shouts of men, the screams of women, and the roar of the old people intertwined to compose a "truant brawl".

Wu Lao Er's expression froze and said, "It's here!" Hurriedly beckoned Zhou Ji to shrink the formation.

Duan Tianbao commanded his subordinates to tightly surround King Zhao and Zhao Jun, forming a small circle. The city guards over there, under the command of the leader, also began to shrink their formation and send people to maintain order.

Wu Lao Er shouted at Duan Tianbao and pointed to the carriage, Duan Tianbao nodded knowingly, and rushed towards the carriage from the side with Zhang San, Li Si, Yuan Jiang, and Yuan Hai brothers. At the same time, Zhao Jun's guards also separated the two of them and ran from the other direction, intending to cooperate with Duan Tianbao and the others.

Wu Lao Er was nervous to death at this time, this was the first battle he had ever crossed, Li Dongyi was purely bullying him, and this time was the test of the real sword.

"Zhao Jun is killed!"

In the chaotic crowd of shouting, Wu Lao Er first heard a loud shout, followed by a "whew", a big hammer flew in the air and went straight to Zhao Jun. Several people around shouted "Be careful", and the leader of the guards beside Zhao Jun pulled out the steel knife at his waist, holding the handle with one hand and connecting the hammer with the other to the back of the knife. The hammer fell to the ground in a series of 'dang, squeak' sounds, and the leader of the guards spat out a small mouthful of blood, and then raised his head and shouted, "Protect your lord!" ”

Over there, Duan Tianbao and the others had stopped the carriage, and the coachman stood on the wheel and danced the long whip in his hand, forcing Duan Tianbao and the others to not get close. Four people jumped out of the carriage one after another, brandishing the swords in their hands and killing Duan Tianbao and the others. The Yulin Army and the city guards were not having a good time, most of them were scattered by the panicked crowd and tried their best to maintain order, only a few dozen people with weapons to fight the assassins who rushed out of the crowd.

Wu Lao Er dragged Zhao Wang with one hand and Zhao Jun with the other and retreated, at this time he didn't dare to shoot casually, he couldn't be sure how many assassins came, and he couldn't be sure if there were assassins hiding in the crowd. There were actually twenty or thirty assassins visible as far as the eye could see, Wu Lao Er scolded Jinyiwei for being an idiot in his heart, so many assassins they didn't even find a shadow in advance, and they really didn't know what these guys usually eat.

As time passed, people fell, there were assassins, but more often than not, it was the brocade guards and the city guards. They are not as well-trained as the Yulin Army, and they know how to cooperate with each other. The situation was unfavorable to the Assassins, and the panic among the people did not continue, as more and more people were out of the fight, while more soldiers were freed up to join the battle.

Perhaps also aware of this, with a whistle, seven or eight big men with short guns jumped out of the crowd, and rushed straight to the inner circle with light skills. These seven or eight people are all good players, and when they get close, they raise their hands and throw their short guns at Zhao Jun and the others. The guards used their weapons to block, but it didn't have much effect, and six people died instantly. Wu Lao Er was horrified, if he let these people rush over, he would be properly forced!

"Zhou, Ji!" Wu Lao Er shouted for help, ignoring the difficulties of Zhou Jiyiwu fighting in a small area. After shouting, Wu Lao Er didn't stop for a moment, pushed Zhao Jun and the two back, and took the remaining guards to meet the assassin. He wanted to buy time for Zhao Wang Bai Qi and City Lord Zhao Jun, he didn't dare to bet on the assassin's work ethic, in case these guys didn't like Bai Qi and stabbed him, his own crime would be great. He didn't call Zhou Ji to let Zhou Ji come over to help him, but to let King Zhao and the two take the opportunity to run towards the chaotic crowd and let Zhou Ji take care of it.

Weapons are not used indiscriminately, and those who think that they can force the enemy back with a knife and wield it indiscriminately with deep internal force are stupid. Why should there be moves in fists, palms, knives, sticks, etc.? Moves are not nice to say, but effective means of fighting the enemy based on experience, experience, etc. Don't say that there are no tricks to win or something, the basis of no tricks is to have moves, and there are many moves. Only when you are familiar with many, many moves can you design more concise and effective moves. Wu Lao Er doesn't have that realm, although he has more knowledge than most people in this world, and he can also create some loose moves by himself, but after all, the time is too short and the experience is insufficient, so it is difficult to systematically summarize into a real routine.

Wu Lao Er and the others struggled to stop the assassin, and they couldn't stop crying in their hearts. Wu Lao Er is better, after all, the internal skills are there, and the other guards are much worse. Wu Lao Er saw with his own eyes that the guards not far away were beheaded by the assassin, and blood splattered more than a meter away.

How chaotic the scene of thousands of people was, Wu Lao Er didn't know before, but now he really saw it. There were about five hundred people in the city lord's guards, the Yulin Army, and the Jinyi Guards. was actually forced to scramble by a group of assassins, although there were a lot of assassins in this group. The main thing is that the scene is too chaotic to organize effective resistance.

Wu Laoer's martial arts are not bad, and it can be said to be very good, the only deficiency is the weakness of the moves, just like Zhang Wuji, who was deceived and fell off the cliff after learning Jiuyang Divine Skill. The only thing that is stronger than Zhang Wuji is probably that he has more experience in fighting, so he used the steel knife he picked up on the ground to slash at the head of the opposite assassin, this is not a move, but he just uses his deep internal strength to force the other party to resist. Wu Lao Er knew his shortcomings and would not pay attention to anything with the assassins.

With a 'bang', the two knives intersected, and Wu Lao Er jumped up and kicked on the assassin's belly, reacting quickly as if the two were brothers in the same sect and had practiced hundreds of times. Just when the assassins were stunned, Wu Lao Er ran out of the assassins' interception circle with lightning speed. The speed of a pooping wild dog stunned the Assassin and forgot to pursue.

The Assassins were running out of time, and after a while more soldiers pulled their hands, they would have to run if they didn't run. But not now, the strength of the assassins is enough to kill Zhao Jun and take King Zhao's life by the way. Wu Lao Er caught up with Zhao Wang and grabbed his arm with one hand, and shouted at Zhao Jun, "Run!" The three of them ran in the other direction of Daye City along the chaotic crowd. There is also an ambush by the master that Wu Lao Er borrowed from the Four Seas Gang, which is the retreat he left for himself!

I can't care about the others, Wu Lao Er thought to himself. As long as you take care of the two surnamed Zhao around you (King Zhao's surname is Bai, and Wu Lao Er hurriedly and selectively made him also surnamed Zhao). The three of them ran in a panic, completely ignoring the pursuers behind them.

In fact, Wu Lao Er made a mistake here, and he later reflected on it himself. There were only a few Assassins, and if they resisted for a while, they would be in vain. After all, Wu Lao Er had not been assassinated in such a big scene, and he subconsciously had to lead people to run, which allowed the assassins to divide people to pursue. All the rest of the Assassins had to do was to create a riot and stop the guards. After all, in the chaos, few people could notice where Wu Lao Er and the others were running.

There were three assassins chasing behind him, and Wu Lao glanced back in his busy schedule, these three were all among the seven or eight assassins who jumped out of the crowd later, and they must have a higher status among the assassins. Wu Lao Er found that he had made a mistake, it was impossible for him to outrun three martial arts masters with two ordinary people who were a little stronger than ordinary people. But fortunately, the grove that was about to arrive from the Four Seas Gang, Wu Lao Er shouted "Tang, Qing!" Willows, greens, mountains! Hurry, come, protect, drive! ”

"Come and Escort"
