Chapter 288: Assassination
Zhong Ye put his horse at the bottom of the mountain and hiked up the mountain from the western foothills.
It was nearly dusk, and it was raining lightly halfway through, but it stopped in a moment.
The grass and trees on Wangchun Mountain are verdant, and the breeze and dew are more quiet.
The strange rocks beside the mountain path are full of wild flowers, the fragrance of flowers and herbs is accompanied by the cry of the returning birds, under the sunset of the remnant sunset, from time to time there are visitors calling friends to invite each other to go home.
Zhong Ye went up the mountain and came to the grave of Wei Yining's parents, the grass and trees grew fast in spring, and a lot of wild grasses grew in January.
Zhong Ye squatted down, put the incense candle paper horse aside, and freed his hand to pull the weeds.
When they had cleaned up, they burned the sacrifices they had brought.
When he went down the mountain, he didn't go the same way, but walked down to the south, where there was a general's mound, which had been nearly a thousand years, and Zhong Ye wanted to go and pay his respects.
It didn't take long for the sky to get completely dark, the shadows of the trees, the bats flying around, and Zhong Ye's footsteps couldn't help but slow down.
Before I reached the general's mound, I heard someone shouting for help.
Zhong Ye stood and listened carefully, the voice came from the bottom of the mountain, and it was a young man.
Zhong Ye was never afraid to meddle in things, and immediately hurried down the mountain.
The man at the bottom of the mountain was also in a panic, and actually ran up the mountain, tired and afraid, out of breath, and had no strength before he had gone far.
Seeing that the person behind him had already caught up, this person sat on the ground and said disheartenedly: "This time my life is over!" ”
The men were overjoyed to see that he could no longer run, and ran over with swords in hand, shouting something in their mouths, but the voices were chaotic and could not be heard clearly.
Zhong Ye also rushed to the front at this time, he didn't have a weapon on him, so he had to break a small willow tree next to him, as long as the main trunk section.
I took it in my hand and checked it, although it was a little light, but it should be able to resist for a while.
The group was already close at hand, and the cold light on the sword made people shudder.
"Is there really no one to save me?!" The man trembled: "God, you're too ruthless, aren't you?!" How could I be so handsome and wise? ”
"I told you not to run!" One of the men was tall, thin, but with a rough voice, and said, "We just need your head ......."
"Ahh ”
"What's the ghost called?!" Another short and fat man shouted, "Put your hands down!" ”
"Don't let go, don't let go!" The man shouted, "Drop your hands, and you will cut off my head." ”
"Just kill him!" Someone said, "What a rambling thing! ”
"Help, help!" The man shouted vigorously: "Tell you that I am the prince of Duanwang, and if you dare to commit murder against me, you are not afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?!" ”
"Then this man will not be able to stay," someone muttered in a low voice, "if we kill his woman and his attendants, he will not let us go." ”
The steel knife swung down from the top of his head, and with the sound of breaking wind, Duanwang Shizi instinctively closed his eyes, and his head was blank.
The knife was blocked by a strong force, and flew out with a whoosh, and with a pop it slashed at the head of the person behind it, killing him instantly.
The person with the knife was stunned, the tiger's mouth was torn, the whole arm was sore, and the most painful thing was the wrist, Zhong Ye hit his wrist with a willow trunk, and then knocked the knife away.
It's just that the pain was too strong at first, and then it came up overwhelmingly, and he screamed in pain, and his wrist must have been broken.
When everyone saw Zhong Ye coming out of the bushes, they couldn't help but take a few steps back.
When she saw that she only had a wooden stick in her hand, she became bold again.
But it didn't take long for them to repent, especially after seeing Zhong Ye grab the back of the two men's necks and smash their heads to pieces.
"The wind is tight! ! A man who seemed to be the leader shouted: "I have met the mountain god!" ”
Those people cheered and scattered, and Zhong Ye was about to catch up, but was hugged by Duanwang Shizi.
"Grandpa Zhong, poor Kou Mo chase! You'd better send me over quickly! Duanwang Shizi said, "I want to go home." ”
Zhong Ye had no choice but to take him down the mountain, and on the way he figured out what had happened.
It turned out that today, the prince of Duanwang had a tour and brought the popular singer Ah Ruan and more than a dozen followers to the Fuyun Pavilion of Wangchun Mountain to enjoy the spring.
During this period, Ah Soft said that he wanted to see people tug-of-war, because there was a shallow spring river not far in front of Fuyun Pavilion, and the river surface was very narrow, which could only accommodate small boats.
Duanwang Shizi asked more than a dozen followers to divide into two teams to stand on both sides of the river to tug-of-war, and said that whichever team lost would go into the water. (The ancient tug-of-war was a real tug-of-war)
At this time, I saw a foreigner walking around on the left, and everyone didn't feel any different, after all, there were too many people who came to Wangchun Mountain to play.
Later, the stranger and his two companions were muttering on the side, and the eyes of several people glanced at Duanwang Shizi from time to time.
At that time, Duanwang Shizi thought that these outsiders had never seen the world, and most of them saw that they were handsome and gorgeously dressed, so they couldn't help but peek and discuss.
Later, the sky became darker, and the tourists gradually became scarce, and the prince of Duanwang was also ready to go back.
Who thought that as soon as he walked out of the pavilion and had not yet mounted his horse, he saw that the previous few people had called twenty or thirty more people to come over, and they also had swords in their hands.
The guards of Duanwang's Mansion hurriedly surrounded the prince, but those people didn't speak, and they came up and killed them.
The guards were few in number, and because they had some scruples about protecting the prince, they were killed by six or seven of them, and the remaining few were also seriously injured.
Even the singer Ah Soft died unexpectedly.
When Duanwang Shizi saw this scene, his soul suddenly scattered, and he ran away, and those people chased after him.
Later, I met Zhong Ye.
"I wonder where these people came from?" Zhong Ye was a little annoyed: "Actually, you should be caught alive and tried for the first trial." ”
"I don't know where this bandit came from, how dare to be so rampant at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" Duanwang Shizi returned to his throne in shock at this time, and couldn't help but scold: "It is necessary to ask someone to arrest this group of rebels and kill them one by one!" ”
"Don't the sons of the world know where they come from?" Zhong Yeqi said: "I always feel that they look like bandits but they are not bandits, it seems that they ...... It doesn't seem like I want your life. ”
"Don't want my life?! You don't want my life and kill all my guards?! You don't want my life, such a big knife to cut me on the head?! Duanwang Shizi jumped to his feet and shouted.
"And who have you ever beenfeuded with?" Zhong Ye asked.
Duanwang Shizi stood still and thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "Although I am fun and happy, I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, I can be sure of this, so there should be no enemies." ”
Zhong Ye didn't doubt his words, although Duanwang Shizi was known as the first flower Tai Sui in the capital, he really hadn't heard of anything he did to force good people to become prostitutes and rob people's daughters.
It's a hot game with those Oiran heads all day long.
But since there is no hatred, what are these people rushing for?
