Chapter 159: Assassination (Subscription Requested)
Li Tao is Jinfan's old courtier, he, like Zhuge Jin, joined Jinfan's service when he was at the end of his life, and he has a very special feeling for the two of them, whether it is Wang Chong or Gan Ning.
Wang Chong is not a merciless person, if someone can share the hardships with him, he will naturally have to share the wealth with him.
During this time, with the addition of more and more talents in Jinfan, Li Tao's ability has been quite mediocre among the people, but Wang Chong still entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, the current Jinfan has Lujiang, Jiujiang, the two counties of Huainan, Li Tao is the only Jiujiang Taishou, its status is high, in Jinfan is second only to Wang Chong, Gan Ning and Zhuge Jin.
This time Li Tao got married, Gan Ning was busy training troops in Wankou Port, Ren Jiang also had to guard the mouth of the Xukou, Zhuge Jin was also entangled in Huainan affairs, and he couldn't pull out at all, but Wang Chong, the lord of the lord, was relatively idle, so the three of them entrusted Wang Chong as a representative and went to Hefei to congratulate Li Tao on their behalf.
Wang Chong has nothing to do, not to mention that he also wants to see what kind of scene Hefei has been developing for a few months.
The fourth year of Jian'an, October 10.
Wang Chong took the congratulatory gift and set off to Hefei the day before Li Tao's wedding, and brought hundreds of personal guards including Wang Shuang, Ding Feng, Mei Cheng and Zhang Quan.
Before that, Wang Chong passed near Tongxiang, only to see the lush vegetation on both sides, silent and uninhabited, without warning, Wang Chong's heart suddenly flooded with an ominous premonition.
It was too late, it was too soon, Wang Chong was about to stop the team and let people investigate, but more than a dozen dark arrows suddenly flew out on both sides of the road, shooting at Wang Chong between the lightning and flint.
"Be careful, !!"
Wang Shuang, who first realized that something was wrong, shouted, and his body reflexively stopped in front of Wang Chong.
Bell Bell Bell ...... Poof!
Although Wang Shuang's martial arts are extraordinary, but in a hurry, he can't completely block these hidden arrows, after knocking several hidden arrows with the sword in his hand, Wang Shuang's lower abdomen and shoulder are each hit by an arrow, and blood is flowing for a while.
However, these hidden arrows came from both sides of the road, and even if Wang Shuang used his flesh and blood to block one side for Wang Chong, the other side still needed Wang Chong to deal with it himself.
Fortunately, Wang Chong, who had been vigilant in his heart, was not slow to react, and when he didn't have time to draw his sword to block, he simply turned over and rolled off the war horse directly, and at the same time, several dark arrows flew right above the war horse he was riding.
"Protecting the Lord's !!"
At this time, Wang Chong's personal guards finally reacted, and quickly formed a circle as if facing a great enemy, protecting Wang Chong and Wang Shuangtuan in the center, while Mei Cheng and Zhang Quan each led a team of men and horses to quickly pursue the assassin.
"Remember to keep your mouth alive!" Wang Chong, who was falling on the ground, reminded Mei Cheng and Zhang Quan loudly with a pale face.
Ding Feng stepped forward to help Wang Chong: "Lord, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine!" Wang Chong shook his head, pushed Ding Feng away, came to Wang Shuang's side, and said with an anxious face, "Ziquan, how is the injury?" ”
Holding his lower abdomen that was still bleeding with one hand, drenched in cold sweat, his face was pale, and his expression of pain was extremely distorted, Wang Shuang, who barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said weakly: "Xiao...... It's just a small injury, but the lord has no ...... Don't worry. ”
"You're still a minor injury!?" Wang Chong's eyes were split, and he reprimanded, "You are not allowed to do stupid things in the future, do you hear that!?" ”
Wang Shuang smiled and did not answer.
Wang Chong let out a long sigh in his heart when he saw this, he knew that he would not be able to convince Wang Shuang no matter what, and if this situation happened again in the future, Wang Shuang would still stand in front of him as desperately as he did today.
Wang Shuang's actions moved Wang Chong, in the past, he would envy Cao Cao for having a strong bodyguard like Xu Chu by his side, but now, he felt that having Wang Shuang by his side was enough to beat thousands of troops, even if he exchanged Xu Chu and Zhao Yun, he would never change it.
A moment later, Mei Cheng and Zhang Quan each led their troops back, bringing more than a dozen corpses along the way.
Wang Chong frowned, and said unhappily: "Didn't you let you stay alive?" ”
Mei Cheng said embarrassedly: "Lord, these assassins know that there is no hope of escape, and they are all ...... They all chose to kill themselves by cutting their throats! ”
"Kill yourself by cutting your throat!?" Wang Chong was shocked when he heard this, his scalp suddenly tingled, and he said with a solemn expression, "Dead man? ”
I see!
It was only at this moment that Wang Chong finally understood what Guo Jia's meaningful words when he left before meant.
In today's family, most of them will secretly raise their own doormen and dead, these people are loyal to their families, whether it is killing or overstepping, as long as it is an order issued by the family, they will not hesitate to carry it out, Wang Chong has destroyed so many Huainan families this time, and some of them are dead men who have slipped through the net, and they will naturally try to avenge their masters, Wang Chong went to Hefei to participate in Li Tao's wedding this time, and there are not many soldiers with him, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
How did Sun Ce die in history? Isn't it because he killed Xu Gong that he was ambushed by his doormen? Since Guo Jia could predict that Sun Ce would be ambushed, how could he not guess that Wang Chong, who had done more than Sun Ce in this regard, would also suffer this catastrophe?
Thinking of this, Wang Chong inevitably had some palpitations, this Nima, he almost caught up with Sun Ce.
Fortunately, Wang Chong is different from Sun Ce, he will never travel alone, so the chances of assassins trying to ambush him are very rare, otherwise, no matter how high his martial arts are, this little life will be lost sooner or later.
Wang Chong turned his head and asked Ding Fengdao, "Where is this place?" ”
Ding Fengdao: "Back to the lord, this is the boundary of Tongxiang Township, which belongs to Shu County!" ”
"Shu County?" Wang Chong squinted his eyes and said, "Cheng Yuan, you personally go to Shu County to inform the Shu County Order, let him find the best doctor in Shu County in advance, and I will immediately bring all the money over, and let him inform Zhou Hui to wait at the county office, just say that I have something to consult, in addition, let them not spread this matter, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
"No!"
Ding was ordered to leave, and Wang Chong also led the remaining guards and the seriously injured Wang Shuang to rush to Shu County.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Chong secretly arrived in Shu County, and the county commander of Shu County, who had already been there, hurriedly entered Wang Chong into the county government in fear.
Wang Shuang's injury, the doctor treated it for half an hour, and the anxious Wang Chong wanted to drop something, but fortunately, the diagnosis result was not bad, the dark arrow did not hurt the lungs, with Wang Shuang's physique, he only needed to rest for more than a month to recover as before.
However, although Wang Shuang was okay for the time being, Wang Chong was still angry, and directly found Zhou Hui, who was waiting for the summons, stared at him with dead eyes, pointed to the corpses of assassins all over the place, and said coldly: "Take a good look at these faces, and then tell me if you recognize them, I hope you can see clearly before you speak, if I find out that you are perfunctory or deliberately concealed, you should know the consequences!"
