Chapter 57: Assassination

The autumn wind soaked in the autumn rain became even more vigorous, and the willow branches shook their efforts, and the unknown mother-daughter conversation was drowned out.

In Bianliang City this night, only the autumn wind and drizzle remained.

On a rainy night, Lu Chengxiu went to King Shu's mansion alone.

He didn't hold an umbrella, but he didn't want the rain to be heavy because of the strong wind, and he wasn't a drenching person, but he couldn't withstand the open wound in his waist and abdomen.

When the wound encounters water, it hurts the heart.

Lu Chengxiu looked up at the wide but empty street, turned around and entered an alley.

There are trees in the alley, which can be sheltered from the wind and rain to some extent.

But he didn't know that the moment he turned around, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at each other in the rainy night, and a black shadow emerged from behind the tree, and quickly stepped into the alley.

There are no ordinary residents in this alley, all of them are the back alleys of the courtier's mansion, and you can go a little further out of the alley to get to the Shu Wang's Mansion.

Lu Chengxiu was angry because of Jiang Rou's suspicions, and the wound opened again, and it was quite difficult to walk and move.

The night breeze is silent, and the shadows of the trees sway slightly.

Lu Chengxiu paused, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he felt that tonight was not good.

An arrow crossbow grazed through the rainy night, coming with murderous intent.

The arrow crossbow was refined and iron, and there was a strong wind from a distance, it came against the wind, and rushed straight to Lu Chengxiu's front door, Lu Chengxiu dodged away, and this sudden assassination caught him a little off guard.

Fang Cai's arrow went straight into the stone wall behind Lu Chengxiu, if it wasn't for the crossbow arrows that were too exquisitely made, it was because the person who released the arrows had deep internal strength.

Lu Chengxiu looked at the slightly swaying shadow of the tree, he smiled, and had already put away his slightly panicked look.

"An old friend, presumably?"

Presumably, it was the same group of people who assassinated him on the ship returning from Xiangbei.

Lu Chengxiu was seriously injured after the last assassination, and when he first recovered from his injuries, he caught up with the autumn hunting event, and before he could find out the assassin last time, they were impatient to assassinate him.

Lu Chengxiu lifted the sleeves of his robe, he wanted to see who wanted his life!

After the shadow of the tree, more than a dozen black shadows rushed out, and quietly fell in front of and behind Lu Chengxiu, like a ghost, blocking all the ways of Lu Chengxiu.

Lu Chengxiu frowned slightly, the people who came looked up to him quite affordably, he missed a blow last time, and he would not be soft this time. There are more than a dozen people coming, although it is not a huge momentum, but looking at their momentum in the sky, they are quite like martial arts masters.

If it were to be placed in normal times, Lu Chengxiu might be able to fight with it, but the day before yesterday, everyone in Bianliang City knew that King Shu was injured.

Tonight, they wanted to end Lu Chengxiu's life in this narrow alley.

Lu Chengxiu endured the wound on his waist and abdomen and stood up straight, whether he can still see tomorrow's sun depends on his fate tonight.

"Who sent you?"

The man's voice was also calm in the face of life and death.

The killers in front of them were bright-eyed, but they didn't say a word, that was the professionalism of the killers, and their silence made Lu Chengxiu more sure: This is not a guard soldier, but a martial arts killer.

Take money to kill people and never ask.

I really look up to him!

The rainy night was dark, there was no moonlight tonight, and it was dark in the alley that it was difficult to tell the way ahead, only the long knife and arrow crossbow in the killer's hand reflected a faint light, and the killer could be vaguely identified.

Countless thoughts in Lu Chengxiu's heart were circling rapidly, his old wounds were cracked, if he wanted to fight tonight, he would definitely not be the opponent of the killers, he could not fight, he could only outwit.

Just as Lu Chengxiu was thinking about how to use light skills to cross this narrow alley, the long knives in the killer's hands stabbed at him in unison, and the killing machine was already there!

They were all well-trained killers, and they didn't give Lu Chengxiu time to think clearly about how to get out.

Lu Chengxiu bent down, able to avoid those long knives, not injured, but blood seeped out of the robe.

Taking advantage of the killers' turns, Lu Chengxiu dodged out of the encirclement.

The killers looked at each other, but they didn't expect Lu Chengxiu to be seriously injured but still have this flexible body, it seems that the rumors of Shu Wang Xiwen's abolition of martial arts in Fang City are not credible.

The rumor is indeed false, Lu Chengxiu knew that he was not a son-in-law since he was a child, and it would be an obstacle to his ascension to the throne in the future.

It's just that he is always steady and never takes it lightly.

The killers collected their long knives and took out the arrows and crossbows from their backs, so that they could underestimate the enemy, and this time, the arrows must be missed!

Lu Chengxiu escaped in the stray arrows, he was seriously injured, and it was difficult to perform light work. Tonight, he came out of the Ningguo Mansion in a bad mood, not to mention that he carried a blade with him, and he didn't even bring an umbrella.

Don't blame him for underestimating the enemy, who would have thought that someone would assassinate the prince of the dynasty in Bianliang City, how powerful is the person who can do this? Tonight, he temporarily decided to leave the Ningguo Mansion, and it was already night when he left the mansion, and whose ears and eyes could be all over the Ningguo Mansion?

It has always been said that the gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and for Lu Chengxiu tonight, the bright arrow behind him is also quite difficult to dodge.

As he swam, a crossbow bolt slid straight into his shoulder.
