Chapter Twenty-Three: Robbing Personal Favors
CHAPTER XXIII
"These guys are so good, they even have a good time for poisoning!" The two Star Shattering Masters in the "Floating Dust Drama" troupe secretly gritted their teeth.
When I first performed on stage, my body didn't have the slightest discomfort reaction, but it happened to be symptomatic at this time, which was enough to see the accurate control of the time of the onset of this poison.
Fortunately, this poison only seemed to seal their cultivation, but it did not harm their lives and foundation!
Just when everyone thought they were going to witness the Governor's corpse.
But I heard the sound of "Zheng", and the sound of bowstring vibration came not far away.
A feathered arrow broke through the air from the oblique side, heading straight for the hidden weapons.
However, although this arrow is fast, some people are faster.
Le Yao, who was beside Wang Zhi, raised his right hand, and the two bamboo chopsticks on the table shot out, and the last one came first.
"Jingle" sounded, and the hidden weapons were all blocked, and the arrow fell into the air, but fortunately it was blocked by the rockery and did not shoot others.
Then, Le Yao got up from her seat and went straight to the blue-faced little girl.
Wang Zhi had already been reminded by Lao Wang, and he was naturally careful everywhere at the banquet here, and he had never eaten a bite of wine and food, which also made Le Yao so.
After all, any wisdom and strategy is nonsense in the face of hard power, Le Yao is a thigh, and he must just hold it.
As for the rest, since Lao Wang could know in advance that there was a conspiracy at the Hundred Lines Assembly, there were only two possibilities, the first was that they were participants.
But this possibility can be easily denied if you think about it a little, and according to the known intelligence, many problems can be analyzed, and the death of Governor Zhao will not benefit them at all.
Since this is the case, then this is actually a trap they set to invite the king into the urn, and in this way, it will naturally arrange people to prevent Governor Zhao from really being assassinated.
So why let Le Yao make a move?
saved the governor's life, and picked up such a big favor in vain, so a fool doesn't want it!
"Heh, the drama that walks through the front door stabs people, and the doctor who walks through the back door saves people, it's really interesting!"
In the crowd, I don't know who made such a sarcastic voice.
The people followed the voice, but they could not find out who had made it.
However, after hearing this, many people shook their heads lightly and sighed.
At the same time, Le Yao had already rushed onto the stage and fought with the black-faced and blue-faced assassins.
The strength of these two assassins was obviously not particularly strong, and they had not even reached the Shattered Star Realm.
I guess the mastermind behind the assassination didn't have the ability to make the powerhouse of the Shattered Star Realm willing to take the risk of assassinating the governor for her, or maybe that person thought that the strength of this assassin was foolproof to cooperate with him to poison him!
In short, Le Yao easily blocked the two, although the battle may not be resolved in a short time, but this is enough.
Le Yao's appearance also surprised everyone, no one would have thought that this woman who seemed to be powerless would have such strength!
And it is really incomprehensible that such a master is willing to be a doctor......
"Up!"
Naturally, the assassins are not just these two, but the entire troupe, but they should be the strongest of these two.
Taking advantage of the fact that his two masters were entangled in this roadblock that appeared out of nowhere, they had already quickly swept towards the place where Governor Zhao was.
"What about the guards, there are assassins, why don't you come quickly!"
Seeing this, the gentlemen of the official families above panicked and shouted loudly regardless of their image.
However, from the time of the assassination to the present, half of the guards have not been seen.
At this time, anyone with a little wisdom can understand that the one who can poison this wine and food must be a ghost in the governor's palace.
Since there are internal ghosts, it is just a routine operation to find an excuse to transfer the guards in advance.
"Patrol Si Lin Zonglin, I received an anonymous letter reporting that someone wants to assassinate the Governor, and I am here to protect him!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the courtyard, and then more than a dozen people dressed as patrol officers poured in.
The leader is Wang Zhi's old acquaintance, Lin Zonglin.
As soon as the people from the patrol department came, the situation could almost be said to be completely out of suspense.
After all, the patrol division is here, will all kinds of garrisons and other armies be far behind?
Moreover, the patrol department is so strong that it is more than enough to control the situation.
Everything has almost settled down, and some of those who are officials still let out a burst of cheers for the rest of their lives.
Like Li Tao sitting below, although he was weak, he witnessed everything with his own eyes.
"Made, why don't you die a few of this kind of pig officials, it's really God's eyesless!" He felt a little sorry in his heart.
After all, these officials are a minority, relying on the remnants of their ancestors to steal official positions, if they can die a few, it is estimated that there will be a few more officials with real talents and learning.
"Eh, where did Wang Zhi go!"
When he turned his head, he found that Wang Zhi was gone.
I was so focused on what was happening on stage just now that I didn't even pay attention to where the people sitting next to me were.
"Wait, there's an assassin here!"
Screams could be heard from the gazebo not far away.
Everyone followed the sound, but saw a figure popping out of nowhere from the oblique side, heading straight for the position of Governor Zhao.
"Damn, isn't this Wang Zhi? Could it be that he is an accomplice? ”
After Li Tao saw the figure clearly, he was stupid all of a sudden, if Wang Zhi was really an accomplice, wouldn't he be a suspect when he came with him?
But after thinking about it, it was obviously impossible, Le Yao was still fighting fiercely with those assassins on the stage, how could Wang Zhi be in the same league as those assassins.
After the patrol division saw Wang Zhi's figure, the two closest masters hurried over there, but it was obviously too late.
Wang Zhi came to the location of Governor Zhao in a few breaths.
However, instead of attacking the governor, he went straight to the separate room beside him with a beaded curtain, and lifted the beaded curtain.
Inside the bead curtain, a forty-year-old lady with her hair in a high bun, revealing a noble atmosphere.
But to everyone's surprise, the governor's wife was holding a strong crossbow in her hand at this time, and the crossbow body was complicated, as if a master had carried out a powerful modification.
And the front end of the arrow was glowing with a little green light, and it was actually highly poisonous!
What's going on, what is the Doge's wife doing with a crossbow next to her to a banquet?
Looking at her posture with a crossbow arrow, it was obvious that she had just opened a gap in the bead curtain and was aiming at someone.
In an instant, many people figured it out and were stunned.
Speaking of which, why did Wang Zhi know? Apparently because he just did it all over again.
Seeing that the plan was revealed, this crazy woman finally had nothing to do but not kill Governor Zhao, who was closer to her, but she thought that Le Yao had ruined her plan and was angry with the former, planning to fight to the death.
As the saying goes, "it's easy to dodge an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a dark arrow", Le Yao was already relaxed after seeing that the situation was under control, and he didn't notice it for a while.
Speaking of which, with Le Yao's strength, the only threat that can pose to her is basically a sneak attack.
