Chapter 240: The Assassin
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Xian, who had been delayed in Kyoto for a long time, set off with a large army, aiming directly at Chang'an.
There were more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country who came to join him, plus Yue Jiheng's people, Zhao Xian only took half of them, and the rest were all handed over to Yue Jiheng to stay behind. The purpose of this is that it is impossible for Northern Qi to be released with all the people, and it is that he doesn't want to go to Northern Qi, and he doesn't even have the capital to speak.
The army slowly boarded the ship and sailed into the Xiangjiang River, and Zhao Xian stood in the stone pavilion on the shore, looking at a merchant ship that had settled down and did not take his eyes off for a long time. The breeze whipped the cloak behind his back, and it felt like a giant boufth.
"Miss, the young master is watching us!" The little maid of the purple moon was lying on the window of the merchant ship, looking at the people on the shore reluctantly, and when she saw Zhao Xian beckoning, she was also busy waving.
"Really?" On the deck of the merchant ship, An Birou's face was unhappy, as if Zhao Xian's farewell was indifferent, but the worry in her eyes could not be concealed.
And next to her, Sister Xiao pulled her hair slowly, she didn't hide her dissatisfaction in her heart, and muttered faintly: "This has no conscience, with the new queen, I will drive my sister to Jiangnan, and I will serve you for so long, and I will never agree to your excessive requests in the future......"
It's a pity that the river wind is howling, and how far can the lingering whispers go, only the unconcealable reluctance in the eyes is deeply rooted in each other's minds.
The lone sail drifted away and eventually became a blurry black dot. Zhao Xian was still standing in the stone pavilion, letting the river breeze blow his hair, and said with a sullen face: "It is parting that makes people sad, this situation is this scene." Only by writing a poem can I express my feelings! ”
As soon as the words fell, he raised his sword slightly, and brewed for a long time......
Gradually, his face became embarrassed, and he coughed lightly and waved his hand: "Hey! Forget it, it's all in plain sight. ”
"Hahahaha!" A cheap laugh came from behind, Zhao Xian looked back, but saw Hu Yidao running over in small steps, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Xian." In the past six months. Your skills have grown a lot, but your face hasn't changed at all! "Obviously, I can't write poems, and everything is in plain sight, Brother Xian is Brother Xian.
"Phew! Less nonsense. Zhao Xian's expression was slightly adjusted. Said seriously: "This is called the spirit of entertainment." Now it is no better than Changzhou. You always have to pay attention to my tall and handsome image when you're outside, and you can only relax when no one is around, what's so funny. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Yidao's triangular eyes were full of smiles: "You are now the chief scoop of the beam." The hundreds of thousands of brothers under his command naturally have to pay attention to their own image. It's also strange to say, you used to feel approachable in Changzhou, but now you have an invisible momentum all over your body, just like our prefect of Changzhou. If we hadn't grown up together, I would have been scared to my knees by you. ”
How approachable am I in Changzhou? Zhao Xian laughed quite unexpectedly, shook his head and smiled: "A knife, such a flattery with your eyes open and talking nonsense, if you don't want to vomit, I will be sick to my stomach." ”
"Uh..."Hu Yidao scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you want to take the army to Chang'an, how many times have I heard of that place since I was a child, and I want to see it in my dreams, or you take me with you." ”
Zhao Xian leaned on the pillar of the stone pavilion and patted him on the shoulder: "Then stay cool, what can you do with me?" ”
Hu Yidao's face sank, and he pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, and said with a serious expression: "I, Hu Yidao, have been crisscrossing Osmanthus Lane for more than ten years, and what I believe in the most is a righteous word. ”
Oh my God, do I need you to block the knife? Zhao Xian shook his head and sneered: "I have been practicing martial arts for half a year, and one hundred and eighty big men may not be able to enter the body, so you need to block the knife for me." ”
"It's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow." Hu Yidao shook his head again and again: "You always have negligence, I, Hu Yidao, am cautious, only I am by your side, and no assassin can escape my eyes." For example, if you look inside the bushes......"
Hu Yidao said that he pointed to the overgrown place not far from the stone pavilion, Zhao Xian subconsciously followed and looked over, but suddenly heard a sword roar of 'sigh', and a white figure floated up like catkins, attacking with the momentum of thunder, followed by a few soft sounds, and several sharp arrows flew over in a hurry.
"Oh my God! Look at my crow's mouth. Hu jumped three feet with a knife, hid behind the pillar with a shout, and howled: "Help! Help me!! ”
I day. Zhao Xian is not a high-flying hero, one hundred and eighty big girls can deal with it, and these assassins who suddenly appeared don't want to die.
He took a few steps back, and those sharp arrows flew over his head in a thrilling way, and the torn air wiped his cheeks with pain, and what was even more fatal was that the man in white had already arrived in front of him.
"It's good to come!" Zhao Xian was in a hurry, so he had to burst into his arms, put his hand into his arms, and looked at the masked man in white with a sneer.
Fraud? The white-clothed man who flew in, with a few wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, flashed cautiously, and hurriedly flashed to the side without saying a word.
Zhao Xian took this opportunity, took out the silver ticket and sprinkled it on the ground, and shouted: "Your Excellency, your money has fallen." With that, he jumped out of the stone pavilion and ran in the direction of the guards.
"Dare to tease the old man!" The man in white was suddenly angry, and with a sharp roar, he tapped the fence and rose up, chasing after him again.
Zhao Xian was the opponent of this assassin, but it was the old man who also made him hear who was coming, and he hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Shen Houye, fight and kill, hurt and be kind, if you have something to say." ”
Shen Lingshan saw that he was recognized, and he had no intention of hiding it, so he pulled off his veil and said angrily: "It's raining? What did you do with her? ”
After the fall of Kyoto, Shen Lingshan, as a confidant of the founding emperor, naturally fled with his family with a quilt. Shen Yu is strong in martial arts, he thought that Shen Yu could leave safely by himself, but he didn't expect to hear such rumors in the streets. Usually, Anfu is strictly guarded, and there is no way to sneak in, so I only found an opportunity today.
What can I do with Shen Yu? She was lucky not to be the result. Zhao Xian was still thinking about what to say, but Shen Lingshan couldn't wait. Assassination was not a common thing, he raised his hand and slashed at Zhao Xian's head with a sword.
"Daddy!"
Just at the last moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in the distance. Shen Lingshan hurriedly stopped his movements and looked back, but saw Shen Yumei running over with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Xian breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stepped forward and ran to Shen Yu's side, and said with palpitations: "Miss Shen, you can be counted, I will not be complete in one step later." ”
Shen Yu didn't reply, but in front of Zhao Xian, he cried and said, "Dad! Spare him! ”
"Huh?!" Zhao Xian looked at her inexplicably, and the pitiful and hateful appearance was really not picky.
Shen Lingshan held his sword and said hurriedly: "Yu'er, this kid bullied you?" ”
Shen Yu nodded, shook his head again, and finally hugged Zhao Xian's arm, and said sadly: "Dad, daughter...... It's already his people. ”
"Huh!?" Zhao Xian's mouth opened wide, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he hurriedly said, "Miss Shen Yu, what are you doing?" It's going so fast that I'm not ready for it. ”
Shen Yu glared at him lightly: "If you don't say that, do you tell my father that I will help you forge the edict?" Then my dad won't have to cut ties with me. ”
"But in that case, your father will kill me." Zhao Xian hurriedly wanted to withdraw his hand to prove his innocence.
Shen Lingshan was furious when he heard this, and pointed his sword at Zhao Xian: "The rumors in Beijing turned out to be true, you shameless scum, take the old man's sword." ”
"No way!" Shen Yu hurriedly stopped his father: "If you kill him, daughter... The daughter is not alive anymore. ”
"You stupid girl, why are you so confused." Shen Lingshan was angry and anxious: "This guy has a grudge against me, so he will attack you, how can you be deceived by his rhetoric." ”
Am I rhetorical? Why don't you say anything about the conspiracy between you and Emperor Jianshi. Zhao Xian sighed secretly in his heart: Forget it, I used you to forge the edict, and it can be regarded as a pit for you once, and we can be regarded as leveling it.
Shen Yu shook his head again and again: "Dad, you can spare him!" The daughter has lost everything she has and doesn't want to lose this last home. ”
At the same time, Side's bodyguards also rushed over. Shen Lingshan saw that his daughter insisted on blocking it, and there was no way, so he snorted unwillingly and flew away from this place before being surrounded.
was able to escape, Zhao Xian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Yu and smiled: "Miss Shen Yu, your acting skills are very good, I am about to take it seriously." ”
Shen Yu held the hair hanging from his ears and glanced at him with a smile: "Are you so sure I'm pretending?" ”
"Uh..." Zhao Xian's face stiffened slightly. This Nizi, you can't tell the truth, right? But it's impossible to think about.
"Just kidding." Sure enough, Shen Yu chuckled a few times, spread his hands and said, "You also saw just now, my father hasn't sanitized your mind yet, you have to be careful in the future." ”
That's a problem! Shen Lingshan was worried about how to sleep. Zhao Xian frowned, looked at the gradually loaded fleet, and had to say: "Miss Shen Yu, it seems that these days, I can only wronged you to follow me, let's get on the boat, maybe Ling Zun won't chase after you if you go away." ”
"Perhaps!" Shen Yu smiled lightly, did not refuse, and went straight to Zhao Xian's boat, his indifferent appearance was very different from Fang Cai.
Seeing this, Zhao Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Good acting skills, this woman is really dangerous, I can't tell the truth from the fake. He was afraid that Shen Lingshan would kill him, so he hurried back to the ship. After all the accompanying ships were loaded, he gave an order and slowly headed for Beiqi... (To be continued......)
