Chapter 8: Death hangs by a thread
Footsteps are getting closer.
A slight "crunch" sound.
Han'er, who was collapsing by the window, had just turned over, and on the bed, she saw a glimmer of light from the doorway - the crack in the door, and the door was pushed open.
Slowly reach under the pillow with your right hand.
Grab the scissors.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and saw a person quietly enter the house.
Look at the figure, it looks like a woman.
The light was dim, and all I could see was the man walking briskly towards Han'er.
A hand knife.
Han'er is still asleep.
Immediately afterward, the man walked in her direction, but noticeably slowed down.
One-step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
If you take two or three steps forward......
Tense up.
Hold one's breath.
"Wei'er?"
The man called softly, and his tone seemed a little urgent: "Wei'er, it's me, I'm a nurse." ”
She simply sat up: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Come with me, the Assassins have entered the Liufu!"
Aunt Wen stepped forward in two steps, and suddenly, she raised her scissors and pointed at each other.
"Don't you come here...... Don't want to fool me, Liufu is heavily guarded, how can you come to Xiaoxiao! ”
Aunt Wen didn't continue to move forward, but walked to the window and glanced outside: "I said it's an assassin, I'm coming at you, hurry up, follow me, it's in Liufu, we're going to hide." ”
"Assassins?"
"The crown princess."
As soon as he heard this, he quickly jumped out of bed.
She ran to drag Han'er on it.
"What are you doing?"
"Wait a minute, right away." didn't care so much, so he directly dragged Han'er under the hanger next to him, and then made the hanger look like a dump, and covered Han'er with two pieces of clothing.
If she is really an assassin, Han'er can easily become her substitute ghost.
Plus, she did feel like there was movement outside.
For the sense of danger, she believes in her sixth sense, and this nurse should not be a bad person.
The two of them walked to the door, and Aunt Wen stopped her: "It's too late, you hide." ”
As soon as the words fell, a silver light flashed in front of him.
A big white knife slashed at Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen's figure flickered, and she flashed to the side of the man in black in an instant, although she had no sharp weapon, her arm was like a knife, and after a few back and forth, Aunt Wen actually knocked out the knife of the man in black.
Meanwhile.
Hiding behind the door, she had noticed the situation outside.
More than one black-clad assassin.
A trace of blood burrowed into the tip of the nose.
"There's an Assassin—"
The mother-in-law roared.
Far water can't solve the near fire.
The maid in the courtyard is being cleared, and at this door, Aunt Wen is fighting against three, and there should be two assassins behind.
After all, Aunt Wen is a woman, her physical strength is not as good as that of a man, she has to do something quickly, but they are too fast, for a while, I really don't know what to do, this is not a simple group fight.
A few big knives, I panicked when I saw it.
Not good.
Aunt Wen fell.
Aunt Wen flew upside down and collapsed in the room, followed by an assassin chasing after her.
Seeing that the big knife was about to fall on Aunt Wen.
"Bang-"
The vase smashed into the Assassin's head with unmistakable accuracy.
The Assassin falls.
"Be careful!" Aunt Wen's gaze fell behind her.
Another Assassin came to pick up the bargain.
The Assassin was right behind her.
Suddenly squatted down.
The Assassin's broadsword slashed into the air.
Immediately, she half-got up and slammed her crutch backwards, her elbow hitting the Assassin's lower body.
He turned around quickly, revealing a sharp cut in his sleeve.
A pair of scissors pricked down.
A third Assassin arrived.
Just across from her.
The Assassin rushed at him—
In an instant, for the first time, she realized what it meant to have her heart beating to her throat.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The taut string is about to break!
The tip of the knife stabbed her in the forehead!
"Squat!"
Simply, the body reacts faster than consciousness.
She unconsciously made a gesture of pause.
"Whoosh-"
A shrill clamor that pierced the air.
Space-time paused.
The Assassin was seen with a dagger stuck in his forehead.
The assassin falls to the ground.
"You go and hide." Aunt Wen struggled to get up.
"Don't move."
She quickly ducked back to the door, clinging to the door.
Here's another one.
Aunt Wen had already been very cooperative and lay back and pretended to be dead.
But the man didn't come in at all.
The assassin is gone.
Various noises in the distance.
Aunt Wen immediately got up: "You haven't seen me tonight." ”
She didn't speak.
I saw Aunt Wen covering her chest with one hand or leaving with her arms.
As she left, Aunt Wen withdrew the dagger that had been inserted into the assassin's forehead.
"Over there, chase—"
"Stop!"
There was already a man's voice outside.
She saw the torches.
came back to his senses and hurriedly left the room.
When I woke up again, it was no longer in the original room, nor was it the original courtyard, and it was Han'er who was guarding the side.
"Miss is awake." She whispered.
This was followed by the sound of the curtain being lifted.
"My hard-working daughter...... Lin's eyes were crimson, her tears were like strings of pearls, the thread was broken, and she fell down, and suddenly, she changed her crying to laughter: "What am I talking about...... You will be blessed if you don't die in a big disaster, Ah Lang, you say yes? ”
"Let her rest, and don't talk about that."
Outside the door was a middle-aged man's voice.
Then, Liu Jingzhi outside the door left.
Lin continued: "Daughter's boudoir, it's inconvenient for your father to come in. ”
"Mother, last night?"
"It's a good thing that your dad came back in time, otherwise ......"
"Did those people catch them?"
Lin's hand clenched the handkerchief: "There are only two left, and I committed suicide by taking poison on the spot." ”
Seeing that the assassination failed, the people of Liufu were coming, and the remaining two assassins chose to retreat, but unluckily, they ran into Liu Jingzhi, who rushed back overnight, and the assassins were surrounded and finally had to take poison and commit suicide.
And Liu Wei ......
She wasn't in the house at the time.
The courtyard was in a mess, and none of the maids and women who were on duty at night in the side room were spared, except for Han'er in her room, who seemed to have been knocked out by the assassin and luckily spared her life.
There were two corpses in her room, one with a flowering head, one with a pair of scissors in his chest, and a man lying outside the door.
What about her?
She was found in the grass not far away.
At that time, it was packed in a burlap bag.
The situation almost makes sense.
For the rest, she has only one sentence - I don't know.
Later, when asked about the identity of the assassin, Lin shook his head helplessly.
First of all, they couldn't report this matter, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, just like the mountain bandits they met outside Baiyun Temple.
Secondly, the five assassins at the scene did not leave any useful information on their bodies, and they could not find any clues, even if they knew in their hearts and had several suspects, they could die without proof.
The most important point is that she is about to leave for Chang'an, and her reputation cannot be damaged in the slightest.
Only Han'er and Bell were left in her yard, and the others changed another batch, and Bell was in the lower room that night, and he also escaped a catastrophe.
Because the female dependents of Liufu live in the backyard, the men such as the little maid can only stay in the front yard, and they live in the alley between the east and the west.
In addition, Liu Jingzhi decided to personally send her to Chang'an after March.
After Liu Jingzhi came back, she was busy with official business and disappeared for a few days, and when she came back, Lin reminded her to remember to go to Qingsong Hall early the next morning to ask for peace - Liu Jingzhi's birthday had arrived.
