Chapter 461: Assassination
Is the so-called dart game an assassin? Pei Qingqing followed Qiao Ran out of the door.
The originally quiet post station had become lively because of the sudden arrival of assassins, and the lights in the post station were bright, and the post ministers who were taken to the door shivered in fright.
"I ...... I didn't know there were assassins! The postman who was on duty at night before was frightened into a cold sweat, and his forehead was wet in the winter, "I really don't know." ”
An elite general glanced at him and said, "The soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court to Shanxi Road more than a month ago also stayed with you!" ”
Several postmen were taken aback when they heard this, looked at each other, and then a post official said, "Yes...... Yes, but they only stayed here for one night and left, and they didn't do anything! ”
"Stayed one night and left?" As if he had heard some big joke, the elite general paused, and suddenly laughed, "That's what they solved by themselves, and they didn't make a sound." Earlier, at your station, General Gu and his party were also assassinated. However, the assassin's methods were obviously not very good, and he was killed on the spot by General Gu.
Probably because he didn't want to do much, or didn't want to startle the snake, so General Gu and his entourage didn't mention this matter, and several postmen obviously didn't know anything about it. "Whether they know it or not, people are assassinated here, and if something happens, settle the account after the autumn, and then pay it back.
"Dead." The elite general said casually.
What the? He's dead? Several postmen were frightened and immediately looked like earth, and some even had weak legs and feet, and couldn't stand, so they knelt down directly.
The elite general who looked frightened couldn't help frowning, paused, and after a while, said, "It has nothing to do with you." ”
It has nothing to do with them! This sentence finally made several postmen breathe a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but glance at the dignified face of the elite general, and couldn't help muttering to themselves: Let this soldier come like this again and again, people will be scared to death.
However, after such a startle, the person calmed down, and the poster hurriedly said: "General......"
"I'm not a general." The elite general glanced at him and looked over coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
……
The smoke of the iron egg had not completely dissipated, and Qiao Ran and Pei Qingqing waved their hands to disperse the smoke.
Is the man in the game an assassin?
Qiao Ran smiled and patted Pei Qingqing's little brain, and said, "There is a lot of snow on this road, although it hasn't snowed in the past two days, but the snow on the ground has not melted. ”
"The postman said, the three waves of staying at the post station were left here yesterday, so let's count it, we arrived one step ahead, and only the three waves of traders left axle prints at the door of the post station."
She didn't pay attention to this, Pei Qingqing was stunned when she heard it, and then the girl smiled again: "The axle prints are staggered together, and I don't know which one it is, but this does not prevent us from identifying the dart box that the dart board is an empty box." ”
"Because if you count according to the subject matter and stone they registered in the post book, this car will weigh at least a thousand gold, so how can it be possible to leave only such a shallow axle print?" Qiao Ran said, "And there is no such deep mark in the staggered axle print, which shows that the people in this dart game are lying." ”
Of course, it is normal for darts to go south and north, and they will receive some secret objects, but if they are in the past, they may not particularly care. But General Gu and his entourage were assassinated here first, so they had to pay special attention.
I didn't expect these people to really come, and they came directly to their room in the middle of the night.
It is estimated that women and children are easy to start, and in front of the perpetrators, she and Pei Qingqing are naturally the best targets, but it is just a matter of stabbing things.
Pei Qingqing suddenly, at this time, the smoke of the iron egg was almost gone, and the group of dart passengers had obviously been forced out of the post station, and the noise outside was mixed with the sound of weapons handing over, Qiao Ran said to Pei Qingqing: "Let's go out and have a look." ”
……
A few postmen who were about to speak were startled by a few darts who suddenly rushed out, and the other party didn't even change the clothes of the dart game, but only rushed out with knives after a thick black cloth.
"Oh my mother!" Several postmen were stunned by the sudden change, "It's the assassin who walked the dart!" "Why do you do with your face covered, when you recognize all your clothes?
The elite general nodded indiscriminately and looked at the two people who were chasing out.
General Bai, Zhang Tianshi.
The two of them chased a dozen people out, and the scene looked a little funny.
"A rabble." The elite general snorted coldly, turned around and asked the postman behind him, "How many of those people are there?" Is there only a few of them? ”
The postman was stunned when he heard it, but fortunately, when the postman on duty at night was brought out, he hurriedly brought out the roster that was entered, and when he heard this, he hurriedly opened the roster, counted it, and then suddenly startled: "Fifteen!" ”
It doesn't seem to be that many that run out!
The elite generals frowned for a while when they heard this, and then heard a postman exclaim: "There are still pedestrians staying overnight in the post station." ”
It's all a handless ordinary trader plus an old man or a child, this ...... If you stay in it, do you have to pay it back?
……
An exclamation disturbed the footsteps of Qiao Ran and Pei Qingqing, who were about to go out, looking at the two machetes in their hands and masking with black cloth, Qiao Ran frowned slightly.
Restrained was an old man in his sixties and a girl of fourteen or fifteen years of age, who looked about the same age as her.
"This time it's an iron kick," the masked dart man waved the knife in his hand and pressed it mercilessly into the necks of the two women and children under him, "I don't care, let's go!" ”
The old man who was restrained and the girl who was pulled trembled with fright, and the sharp blade in the hand of the dart man cut off the girl's braids, and her hair was very messy.
"Otherwise, kill them." The dart man said.
Pei Qingqing snorted coldly and took a step forward, but his hand was held by the other hand as soon as he moved.
Qiao Ran shook her head at her, and then her eyes fell on the frightened old man and girl, and after a pause, she raised her hand: "Okay, let you go!" ”
This answer made Pei Qingqing a little surprised, she was sure to save the old man and the girl in the hands of the two darts who couldn't cut the rope, why let these two useless darts go?
Qiao Ran didn't speak, just put his hand on her shoulder, didn't let her step forward, but took her back a step.
The dart escorted the old man and the girl to slowly retreat downstairs, she held Pei Qingqing's shoulders and stood in place all the time, motionless, until the dart escorted the girl and the old man out of the door, and then slowly walked downstairs.
The group of darts outside had been cleaned up at this time, and everyone suddenly saw two people walking out with hostages, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then they took it for granted.
Exchanging hostages for a way to survive is not uncommon.
"Let's go!" The hostages also became arrogant, and the dart man waved the knife in his hand, glared at the elite soldiers surrounding them, and said viciously, "Otherwise, kill them!" ”
The two hostages who were scared and trembling like quails didn't dare to come out for a while, and only dared to look at everyone pleadingly, and the girl was even more frightened and burst into tears, and whispered: "Help...... Help, General, I don't want to die. ”
The elite general gasped when he saw it, hurriedly walked to Bai Zhijun's side, and said, "General, what should I do?" "The sword in their hand is to be swung at the enemy and at the wicked, but not at these two helpless people.
Bai Zhijun didn't reply to him immediately, but just glanced at Zhang Xie on the same side, and after a few glances, he nodded, sighed, and said, "Let them go." ”
After receiving this order, the elite general immediately waved the flag in his hand, and the elite soldiers who were originally surrounded immediately made a way.
The dart man who was holding the two hostages retreated and said viciously, "Don't come here!" "These characters with heads and faces can't afford the notoriety of killing the people, and this step is really stable.
The hostage-escorting dart man couldn't help but be proud, and then continued: "Give us a carriage and money." ”
Asking for money in a carriage is naturally to escape for your life, and to do the thing of assassinating the officials of the imperial court, you will definitely be wanted by the government and become an outlaw in the future, so money and carriage are very necessary.
Bai Zhijun continued to look at Zhang Jie, and then nodded.
Seeing this, the elite general waved the chess pieces in his hand and said, "Yes." ”
The carriage and money were quickly obtained, and the dart man sneered and waved the knife in his hand: "Give me a ...... stand back" The person suddenly shook as he spoke, and there was a small pit behind him, but he didn't stand firmly, but he let out a miserable scream before they could stand firm, but in the blink of an eye, the two dart players rolled on the ground in pain.
But fortunately, the elite general was stunned for a moment, and then snorted, when even a few close elite soldiers rushed up, but in the blink of an eye, the two screaming darts were stopped.
It was the old man and the child who were probably afraid that they would be taken away by the murderer and would have no way to live, so they were in a hurry and kicked them at this time.
It hurts so much, it's all men, a few elite soldiers looked at the dart player rolling between their legs, only to feel that they seemed to be cold under them, and the trembling girl had already supported the old man who was also panicked and walked towards Bai Zhijun.
"Multi-...... Thank you, General. The girl knelt down with the old man in her arms.
"No, it's up to me." Bai Zhijun was stunned and reached out to help.
It was too late, but it was too soon, and a silver light flashed.
The elite general, who had not gone far, instinctively exclaimed, "General", but it was too late, the dagger pierced into Bai Zhijun's abdomen, and the girl and the old man, who were still delicate, seemed to have changed as if they had changed a person, and a rope with a dagger flew out of his sleeve and attacked Zhang Xie beside Bai Zhijun.
"Assassin!" The elite general exclaimed in surprise and rushed over with a knife, but Zhang Xie had already taken Bai Zhijun back and avoided the second attack of the two.
Bai Zhijun, who was covering his abdomen, also let go of his hand at this time.
The expected blood flowed like a note and did not appear, and the black soft armor was exposed inside the torn outer robe, and Bai Zhijun was not injured.
The two assassins on the other side were not powerless, and even though they knew that it was impossible to succeed again, the two assassins, one old and one young, still waved the rope in their hands as if they had eyes.
The whip is full of tigers, and there is a sharp weapon at the head, such a peculiar weapon can be seen at a glance from the rivers and lakes. The technique is peculiar, and the body is not bad, and for a while, the elite soldiers guarding outside cannot get close.
But fortunately, the general was fine, and the elite general shouted: "Bring the bow!" ”
Let her means be special, for the soldiers who are accustomed to leading troops to fight and advocating simplicity, it is nothing more than two kinds of close and long attacks, and if you can't get close, then use bows and arrows.
However, the bows and arrows sent did not come in handy, although they did not know how to march and fight, but the people of the Yin and Yang Division were all good in force, as early as after the old and the young made a move, Zhang Tianshi and General Bai tacitly agreed to shoot at the two assassins one by one.
Almost at the same time, the rope with the dagger broke at the waist, and the weapon in his hand was lost, and the two assassins probably knew that they couldn't do it, so they simply threw the rope in their hands, sneered, and then spurted a mouthful of blood from their mouths.
"The blood is black, they took poison." The elite general, who had come forward with bows and arrows that had not been used, hurried over.
"Hiding poison in the teeth is a means for the assassins to keep secrets from torture." Zhang Jie's face sank as he watched the two assassins grin at them abruptly.
The smile was so strange that the elite general only felt that something had exploded in his mind, as if something had been ignored by him, but just thinking like this, the two assassins with a strange smile suddenly changed their faces, and then looked at the door of the post station in astonishment as if they had seen something unbelievable.
"You ......"
Standing at the entrance of the post station were two girls, one big and one small, who had no scars on their bodies, and just appeared at the door of the post station.
"It's Mistress Joe." The elite generals only felt that their cold sweat was about to fall at the moment.
But it was only then that he finally came to his senses about what happened tonight.
The first wave of lame assassins was just a temptation to lure them out, and the old and the young were the real masters with extraordinary means, and they were ready to take advantage of the general's temporary defense, but people were not as good as the sky, and no one expected that the general was wearing soft armor.
At this time, the post station was empty, and there should be another wave of assassins in it to deal with Lord Qiao, but I didn't expect Lord Qiao to avoid that wave of assassination.
Such an interlocking assassination...... The elite generals thought to themselves that they could not be called a rabble, but if there was a mistake in it, they could make General Bai and Master Qiao lose at least one of them here.
But...... When did they find out that something was wrong with the people in this station?
"Fortunately, you have a reminder, Lord Qiao." Bai Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief, touched the punctured robe, and then took the daggers used by the assassins picked up by the elite generals, the daggers were glowing black and cyan in the firelight, and he said, "Quenched poison." ”
Since it is going to be assassinated, this must not be an ordinary poison, and it is not an exaggeration to see blood seal the throat.
Qiao Ran and Pei Qingqing walked over to them, then touched Pei Qingqing's head and said, "The remaining few assassins pretending to be tea merchants have been dealt with. ”
To be precise, he committed suicide by poisoning after being subdued by Pei Qingqing.
"How do you know there's something wrong with this tea merchant?" Pei Qingqing asked her curiously.
This question is not only Pei Qingqing's curiosity, but also a few posters who have been stunned on the side also want to ask. Why are there so many assassins living in this inn, and they don't even know it. It's really scary to think about it, if the other party wants to attack them, and they don't have such skills, how can they survive?
