"People are forced out by life, boy, don't blame our subordinates for being ruthless, if you want to blame it, blame your bad life and bump into something you shouldn't see.!"

Drama Xin held a long sword and forced back several black-clothed assassins, and the broken corners of his clothes showed that he was a wolf at the moment, and seven or eight assassins on the opposite side pressed over unhurriedly.

Ding Ding Ding!

The sword light flashed, the long sword and short dagger in the hand of the drama letter were blocked again and again, and there were several times when the black sword light almost pierced his arm, and he could see that the abnormal black light was a quenched blade, which was a poison that sealed his throat with blood.

The drama letter trembled, and the whole person jumped backwards like a dark shadow, dodging the nirvana encirclement in a few breaths.

Sou!

A sharp arrow slashed across the night sky, and the assassin who was chasing him shuddered, turned his head and fled into the darkness without saying a word.

Running dozens of paces, when he turned around and saw the traces of the pursuers behind him in the vast night, he stopped and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bang Bang Bang!

"There are assassins! All the men are out to capture the Assassins! ”

"Arrest the Assassin!"

The silent night was broken by a loud roar, and the dark Hou Mansion soon became brightly lit, and the guards in the village were armed with strong bows and sharp blades, and flocked to every corner of the Hou Mansion in groups.

When the first group of cavalry rushed out of the gate of the Hou Mansion with torches, two quarters of an hour had passed since the assassination explosion, and only half of the long night had passed.

Ji Xin looked at the vast dark night and was stunned, and it was not until several five big and three rough men pulled him in front of Pingyang Hou that he woke up from his stupe.

The appearance of Cao Shi stabilized the hearts of the people in the Hou Mansion. As soon as he came out, he raised his eyebrows and asked carefully about the whole process, and it would not be very pleasant for anyone to be woken up in the middle of the night.

"Wait, you say you know them? Could it be that you are looking away? ”

The drama letter replied very affirmatively: "I have been practicing swords for more than ten years, and my eyes are very good." I am very familiar with their sword skills, and I will never look away, looking at their body shape and skills, I can be sure that those assassins are famous rangers of Jianghuai. ”

"JAC Ranger."

Cao Shi glanced at the many people around him suspiciously, and noticed Wang Meng, the expressionless door doctor, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

That thought was crushed before it appeared, and he never believed that Wang Meng would betray him. betrayed the entire Pingyang Marquis Mansion,

"Could it be Liu An, the king of Huainan, and Liu Ling, who has always been there? Wrong! I have no grudge against them in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future. Why do you want to deal with me? Cao Shi was also a little confused.

He does have a lot of enemies, and those who are unhappy with him are even more arrested by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but his enemies are relatively concentrated, and all those who have the ability to influence him are high-ranking officials and ministers. Don't be afraid of poisoning and assassination tricks in Chang'an City. The merchant Haoqiang who couldn't affect him was not worth mentioning at all, let alone the ranger who was far away in Jianghuai.

That piece happened to be the territory of Liu An, the king of Huainan, and it was impossible to say that he was completely at ease in his heart, and the king of Huainan had a lot of talents, comparable to Liu Wei, the king of Wu, who was at his peak back then, and Liu Wu, the king of Liangxiao.

Liu Wei, the king of Wu, could send assassins to ambush and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Zhou Yafu, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, sent assassins Yang Sheng and Gongsun Wei to assassinate Yuan An. With the ability of Liu An, the king of Huainan, and the prestige of Lei Bei, the first swordsman in Huainan under his command. There is no pressure at all to carry out a few assassinations against the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

"What motive does Liu An have against me? Could it be that Liu Ling couldn't chase me, and killed me because of love and hatred? Cao Shi felt that this reason was too ridiculous, the possibility of Liu Ling's dead woman being tempted by people was almost zero, she only had interests and power in her eyes, and the very infatuation with herself and Xiàn seemed very abrupt and strange, and he estimated that eighty percent of it was a political speculation played in order to seek greater power.

In the same way, it is not easy for her to kill herself, she may have to regard herself as the most valuable investment opportunity in her eyes, and she will not give up or even assassinate it lightly, such an abrupt and lack of back-hand assassination is like a joke, even if seven or eight assassins have three heads and six arms, don't want to kill through the heavy protection of Pingyang Houfu, a strong bow and arrow net can kill any bird flying over Houfu.

The solo ranger is unparalleled in the world, the dignified battle is still the strongest in the Chang'an Northern Army, swordsmanship can only deal with the market, and archery is the main theme of the war.

Ji Xin tilted his head and meditated, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Unless this is just a silent warning." ”

"Silent warning? Who is warning me? Why warn me? ”

Cao Shi raised his head and swept over the household officials present, all of them looked dazed and at a loss, only three of them remained calm and unmoving, and Yuan Chong was just one of the three.

From beginning to end, he hung his head and bowed his head in contemplation the whole time, never showing any intention of expressing his opinion.

"Wenshi, what do you think?"

Yuan Chong bowed down and said: "I feel that this matter is very strange, this group of assassins is very famous, which force do they represent, what is the meaning of warning the Hou Mansion, these are all unsolved mysteries, observing the traces of the torn clothes of the drama letter, and judging that the other party deliberately waited for the reinforcements of the Hou Mansion to appear, such a strange appearance is not like an assassination at all, maybe it is really a warning of unknown significance." ”

"I can ask a well-known ranger in Jianghuai to disguise himself as an assassin, this person's background must be very big, who could it be?" Cao Shi groaned.

Wang Meng kept a straight face and did not speak, he knew the origin of those people best, a few hours ago he received a superstitious letter of greeting him by name, telling him that he was going to launch a surprise attack on the Hou Mansion, intended to beat the Hou of Pingyang to do more restraint and not go astray.

He even knew the identity of that group of people, but he couldn't have attacked that group of assassins, because those assassins were all his junior disciples, and he was a proud protégé brought out by his master Ding Gong, and he was a proud protégé cultivated by Ding Gong.

He couldn't be sure if Lei was among them, maybe he stayed in Huainan and didn't move, maybe he was just waiting for an opportunity to hide in a dark corner, and his seventy-year-old master, Ding Gong, he never believed that the master would be unaware, if the master was also here, things would become extremely complicated.

After failing to catch the Assassin in the middle of the night, the tired people returned to the Hou Mansion to stand by. Cao Shi had already gone to bed early, leaving Wang Meng and Sun Qi to be on duty at night.

"Brother! Are you okay? ”

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see Sun Qi's concerned gaze. Smile and shake your head to indicate that it's okay.

He tried his best to show that his mind was free of distractions, but his mind drifted into the distance: "Master, where are you now?" Still holding on? ”

At the same time, in a dense forest more than ten miles away, seven or eight black shadows emerged.

Through the dense forest to an open field, it was a small luli, and it was quiet in the dark night.

Suddenly. The inner door was quietly opened, and the group of black shadows did not hesitate to enter the inner door, and the doors slowly merged.

"Master Qiqi. Fortunately, he fulfilled his mission and completed the task. ”

The man in black took off his mask, revealing faces that were either fierce or indifferent. They are one of the strongest rangers in the Han family. Their fame only spreads in a small circle, and they are all Ding Gong's protégés.

The old man in white laughed: "Okay! My good apprentice is doing a great job, and you are all tired, so go down and rest! ”

The eight people nodded, stood up silently, and the young woman sitting on the side frowned tightly: "What does Ding Gong mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, the old man just wants to give the Cao family a warning." Ding Gong stroked his beard and smiled.

Liu Ling snorted coldly: "The concubine is not a three-year-old child, how can you not see that you have tried your best to bring Huaishang to the well-known rangers, and the transfer of people into the customs is just to teach Pingyang Hou a lesson." The concubine didn't believe it. ”

"If you don't believe it, the old man can't help it. If you don't believe it, don't believe it. ”

Ding Gong's attitude makes people angry, Liu Ling has always boasted that he is unstoppable, but she can face the survivors of the Chu and Han hegemony, she really has no way, this old man is old and well-informed, and he is ruthless, and even her father Liu An, the king of Huainan, does not sell the face, and her grandfather Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, failed to conquer several times, and his reputation has long been spread far and wide.

Originally, she was doing well in Chang'an, Cao Shi was forced into the training camp of the Death Racecourse by her and did not dare to come out, but just when she was preparing for the next stage of action, the old man who lived in Guangling County and did not care about the world suddenly went to Beijing and entered Chang'an, and brought his 800 proud protégés, when the old man in white appeared in front of her, her head was blank.

The most terrible old monster in Huaishang appeared in front of her alive, asking her to cooperate with the action by name, and the consequences of not cooperating would be unimaginable.

She couldn't understand how it felt for the old man, who was almost eighty, to tell her in a pleasant way that she had to cooperate, and if she didn't cooperate, she would take her life, and she couldn't understand Ding Gong's purpose of putting her under house arrest.

Liu Ling didn't understand Ding Gong's motives, didn't know Ding Gong's thoughts, and couldn't accept that a kind old man suddenly became the most terrifying person in the world, and she felt that her three views were being ruthlessly subverted.

Maybe Ding Gong is crazy, an old madman with a group of little madmen is stirring up the wind and rain in the muddy pond of Chang'an City, and the already chaotic Chang'an has become even worse.

"What does this old man mean by messing up my layout as soon as he arrives in Jingshi?" Liu Ling was so angry that he almost went crazy.

I really don't understand Ding Gong's thoughts, he doesn't stay in Guangling County at such an old age, he has to take people to Chang'an, the capital to disturb the overall situation, and he also threatens with a tough posture.

Liu Ling had nothing to do with him.

A stubborn old man who does not enter the seventy and eighty years of oil and salt, the temptation of beauty is useless to him, and the coercion and temptation are impossible to talk about, her father Liu An, the king of Huainan, has asked Ding Gong instead, and the evidence of his own rebellion was held by Ding Gong, not only is he not afraid of a penny, but Liu Ling is even more afraid that this old man will go crazy and let his family go to the funeral together.

Rebellion is a great rebellious felony, even if the three tribes of Yi and Lianzai are abolished today, it is difficult to escape the rhythm of the death of the whole family, Liu Ling still has a good youth, brocade clothes and jade food and jade food and no enjoyment, she can't accompany the old man to death in vain.

But she was under house arrest, and she couldn't even make a sound, and she was really anxious.

Liu Ling's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "The concubine wants to know what the purpose of Ding Gong's trip to Jingshi is?" I also want the concubine to prepare for Duke Ding. ”

"What the old man wants to do, you can't help much, you go down and rest."

Ding Gongyi waved his hand to make a send-off action.

Liu Ling's face darkened suddenly, and the old man clearly did not give her a chance to test, and walked out angrily with a muffled snort.

The door was closed, and Tan Qing stepped out of the shadows.

"Master Qiqi, all the guards in the Zhuangzi are in place, we can do it at any time."

Ding Gong smiled slightly and shook his head: "Don't move, don't move for the time being." ”

"Ah, stand still?" Tan Qing turned around and saw that the senior brother and the second senior brother were also dumbfounded, the two had served by Ding Gong's side for more than ten years, and they had never heard the story that the assassin had to stand still.

If you don't move, you will waste a precious assassination opportunity in vain, and calmly adjust the defense and patrol system of the courtyard for the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and it will not be so simple to enter the Pingyang Hou Mansion in a few days.

Ding Gong stroked his long beard and smiled: "You want to ask why?" ”

The three of them nodded honestly, Liu Ling's doubts were exactly their doubts, wasting eight top players to create a lore, but using a strange way to release the water to release the drama letter and a horse, the three of them thought it was the benevolence of the eight senior brothers and women who came out of the school, but now Ding Gong felt that it was wrong.

"Why the hell is this happening?"

Ding Gong laughed and said: "I want them to fail, and I also want to expose the roots of Huainan Ranger's swordsmanship, and how eye-catching those few Huainan words are!" The stinky boy in the drama letter has a bad head, but his memory is very good, your eight senior brothers have all met him, how can he not remember the characteristics of his voice and body shape? ”

The three of them were shocked: "Master's meaning is ......"

"Planting!"

Ding Gong stroked the silver beard like an old fox who had become a fine spirit, and said with a treacherous smile: "Liu An, the king of Huainan, is a cunning guy, he wants to accept all my disciples, and he is not willing to do something for us, the old man has long been disgusted with this useless scholar, and it is not wonderful to take this opportunity to splash the dirty water of the assassination on the head of Huainan Kingdom!" Think about it, when Liu An, the king of Huainan, sent someone to assassinate Shaofu Cao, what a wonderful idea! ”

The old man in white laughed almost madly, he was not as good as him compared to the conspiracy and intrigue of the entire Huainan royal family, Liu Ling, the princess of Huainan, was just a little clever, and it was not worth mentioning in front of the assassin leader who was born in professional conspiracy and trickery, but Liu Ling was unknowingly used and became the key figure in the assassination of Cao Shizhong.

Therefore, he personally planned the sudden disappearance of Liu Ling, and put the Huainan princess under house arrest in this small lu, who would have thought that there were a full eight hundred assassins hidden in the small lu, who disguised themselves as old men, women, and strong men, and specially brought dozens of children as cover, and there was no way to escape from the nets laid up and down in the lu.

"But Lord Ling Weng is our ally......"

"Humph! How much is an ally worth? Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, has allies all over the world, and in the end, it is not that the army is defeated and dies in Wujiang, and the alliance that does not have the strength to control the allies is a failure and useless! The old man can't control the king of Huainan, since he can't be used by me, he will die like Liu Chang, the king of Huainan! (To be continued!)
