Chapter 38: Assassination
Early the next morning, when Xiao Yao came out of the room, Luo Ning had already begun to sort the herbs he had picked yesterday.
Hearing a voice from behind, Luo Ning turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yao, who came out, and took care of the herbs again.
After Xiao Yao finished washing himself, he went over to help Luo Ning, Luo Ning didn't ask about last night's incident, Xiao Yao didn't say, although the two had no words, but they felt that they didn't need words, everything was silent, only warm and indifferent.
Around noon, Xiao Yao set off from Luo Ning's house, parting was Luo Ning gently hugged him, and interrogated Xiao Yao where he went, Xiao Yao did not hide and answer truthfully, but he did not say that he was going to assassinate the governor, one was afraid that Luo Ning would be worried, and the other was because of this Xiao Yao always felt that it was not right, but he couldn't say, he suddenly had a strong feeling of palpitations when he slept last night, for cultivators, this feeling was very bad, it was a dangerous signal, so it was better not to let her know.
Xiao Yao did not rush to the Land Temple, but went to the city first, before Xiao Yao tried to use Taoism, but failed, this world can not communicate with the qi of heaven and earth at all, and only the martial arts accumulated over the years can be used, so Xiao Yao bought himself a sword, although it is an ordinary sword, but it can also play a big role.
You quietly went to the post station for a turn, and the layout was the same as last night, "Who was the person last night?" And what is the plan? Xiao Yao thought about these two questions repeatedly in his heart.
Unconsciously, he came to the Land Temple, Xiao Yao still didn't go in directly, he first surveyed the surroundings of the Land Temple, and after making sure that there was no ambush, he pushed open the gate of the Land Temple.
After entering the door, they saw Xie Yun and a few people at a glance, and several people also got up when they saw Xiao Yao, and everyone sat together to discuss how to attack the governor.
Xie Yun was the first to speak: "Boss, this is the layout of the post station and the time for the rotation of soldiers. After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and spread it out.
"How do you have this?" Xiao Yao asked suspiciously
"This is something that my brothers and I deliberately wrote down around a station a few days ago, just for today's action."
"Well, okay, let's talk about it."
"Okay, this is the map of the entire post station, here is the gate, there are soldiers guarding it every day......" Xie Yun gushed endlessly, Xiao Yao has been listening, and is very serious, although he doesn't know what conspiracy this Xie Yun has, but the situation he said is roughly consistent with the situation he explored last night.
Xiao Yao found that among these people, except for Xie Yun, everyone else rarely spoke, and Xie Yun didn't introduce them too much, just said the names of a few people.
After everyone finished discussing, they found that it was not early, because the goal of entering the city together was too big, Xie Yun proposed to act separately and meet in the city, Xiao Yao also agreed, so everyone went to the city separately.
Smoothly entering the city, Xiao Yao walked towards the post station, there was a tavern near the post station, and several people agreed to gather at the tavern after entering the city, and then act in unison.
After everyone gathered in the tavern, they finally checked the whole process to make sure that there were no mistakes, and then implemented the plan.
In this operation, Xiao Yao was responsible for killing the governor, Xie Yun and the other two Chen Chong and Wang Jie were responsible for handling the guards patrolling the post station, the other person was responsible for assisting Xiao Yao from the side, and the last person was responsible for watching the wind, monitoring the soldiers defending the city, and delaying the reinforcement of the post station as much as possible.
When Zichou traded, everyone came to the post station, Xiao Yao and the other four people turned over to the roof, Xiao Yao and Zhao Yu waited for the opportunity on the roof, Xie Yun and the three of them took advantage of the opportunity of the change of guard in the courtyard to quietly touch the gate, and cleanly ended the soldiers guarding the door, hid the corpse, changed into soldiers' clothes, and stood at the door pretending to stand guard.
Not long after, the soldiers who came to change the guard arrived, and Xie Yun and the others were a few people who quickly turned out, and after cleaning the battlefield, they quietly closed the gate of the post station.
Xiao Yao clearly saw Xie Yun's every move on the roof, his movements were clean, fast, ruthless, and unpromising, if he encountered such an opponent, he would definitely be very difficult.
Xie Yun's next actions can be described as a model among the killers, whether it is concealment, assassination, hiding the corpse, or breaking away, all of them are very disciplined, which can be called art, even Xiao Yao is difficult to do this, fortunately, Xiao Yao only needs to assassinate the governor, others should not be able to see that Xiao Yao does not understand assassination at all.
After neatly eliminating everyone, he signaled that Xiao Yao could come down, Xiao Yao jumped from the roof, although he was not proficient in assassination, but he could still do it by jumping off the roof silently.
Before everyone converged to the governor's room, carefully guarded, Xie Yun took out a bamboo pipe, pulled out the plugs at both ends, and pierced the window paper and blew it into the room.
Everyone waited outside the house for a while, Xie Yun signaled Xiao Yao to go in, Xiao Yao first stood outside the door for a while and listened carefully, and after confirming that there was no sound, he gently pushed the door open a gap and quietly rushed in.
The room was dark at this time, Xiao Yao faced the darkness and vaguely saw a human figure on the bed, but Xiao Yao did not move, but squatted in the corner behind the door and watched quietly, Xiao Yao always felt that this matter was wrong, coupled with the feeling of palpitations before, today's assassination may be a conspiracy against himself.
Xiao Yao believes in his own feelings very much, or the disciples of Daomen believe in their own feelings, this feeling is called "spiritual sense" in Taoism, it is a very ethereal one, there is no need to deliberately cultivate, the higher the cultivation of the person, the clearer this feeling, every time you encounter danger, or when you participate in something, against a certain person, this feeling will appear, give you an early warning, tell you that this thing can not be done, the danger is great, although there is no trace, but often the spiritual sense is very accurate, very few mistakes.
Xiao Yao stayed in the corner and pulled out the sword violently, "Rubbing the flute~~" The sound of the sword unsheathed echoed in the silent night, the door was suddenly kicked open, and then the surroundings lit up, and the firelight was moving, illuminating the night sky of the post station, Xiao Yao quickly put the sword into the sheath, hid behind the door and held his breath and secretly watched everything.
As the so-called light is dark, the most dangerous place is the safest, Xiao Yao is behind the door, but none of the people who came in found it, Xiao Yao quietly came out from behind the door and walked out of the house, but he was dumbfounded when he came to the door, there were nearly 50 people gathered outside the house, some people were holding torches, some were holding bows and arrows, seeing Xiao Yao dressed in night clothes and arrows pointing at him without hesitation, Xiao Yao raised his hands helplessly.
"Hahaha~! There's no way to escape, so hurry up! A man with a long beard came out of the house, "Hmph, do you think I don't know your plan?" Do you think you eavesdropped on me on the roof that day and I really didn't find out? Naive! The governor walked out of the door and pointed at Xiao Yao with a disdainful expression. ……
