Assassinations located in the middle of the city are the most difficult to guard against.

And this is in the city of Jiannan Province, just one street away from the province.

Who would have thought that there would be an assassination here, just as no one would have thought that the wise and martial Son of Heaven would be held hostage by a eunuch.

This arrow came extremely fiercely, Xiang Yun's scalp was numb, and the arrow reached his ear with a buzzing sound, and his body was crooked, and the entourage who was following closely around him pounced, and blood splashed Xiang Yun's face, and the arrow stopped in front of him.

The attendant fell limply in front of him.

Xiang Yun grabbed his body, his hands trembled with his heartbeat, his eardrums almost burst, and the jokes on both sides of the street flickered far and near.

Escaped.

Only then did the guards on both sides react and surrounded Xiang Yun, and a person in the restaurant had already jumped out, with a long knife in his hand towards Xiang Yun.

The light of the knife was dazzling in the daylight, and the people on the side of the street finally stopped the noise and burst into shouts.

"There are assassins!"

The streets were instantly in chaos.

Chaos is easier to assassinate, and the guards of Longyou did not fall into chaos, a team of men and horses rushed to both sides to lock the crowd in the room, a team changed formations, and the rest met the attacking assassins.

The assassin flipped nimbly in mid-air, the long knife in his hand snaking like a snake through the throats and arms of several guards.

There was a loud bang, and countless knives and guns in the array swung and smashed away the attacking long knives.

But the long knife also hit a crack, and the figure rolled to the ground, and a little person on his toes stabbed Xiang Yun like an arrow.

With a click, one of the guards was pierced in the throat by a short sword, and Xiang Yun behind him was surrounded by the guards again with this block.

The person who came did not stop, but actually hit Xiang Yun with his body, and Xiang Yun's close guards moved together like a giant hand to slap the person who came.

The person who came did not crash into the palm of his hand, but stepped on it and jumped out of the circle with the help of the force.

"Don't let him go!" Some guards shouted in perceiving.

But it was still a step too late, and the person who came was as light as a swallow, and went to the roof in a noise, and several ups and downs disappeared.

The guards scattered and chased after them, and the people who were locked up in the restaurants and tea shops on both sides were surrounded by the guards for verification, the horses' hooves and footsteps were chaotic, and the soldiers and horses of the government road also came, and the streets fell into noisy chaos, and the chaos and noise spread to all directions.

Xiang Yun stood in the noise, with two attendant guards who had both been pierced in the throat lying at his feet, there was no fear on his face, only shock.

One arrow, one sword, one sword, one step, three moves do not hit the U-turn and leave, this person only took four steps from appearance to departure, and there was no slightest condensation in the flow of water, this is an assassin, not a dead man.

The dead soldier is to die with the other party, and the other party will die if he does not die, and the assassin is the other party will not die if he does not die, as long as he does not die, the assassination will always continue.

Who is going to kill him? On the street of Jiannan Road, the sky is bright and the sun is white.

"This must be the assassination of Yan Mao's group." Li Min waved his sleeves and shouted, "They only killed Yan Mao last time, and they were unwilling, maybe the original target was Lord Xiang." ”

The government was full of officials and generals, and after such a big incident, Master Li San also came back from the entertainment field.

"It must be so." Li Fengyao shouted, "It was those remnants of Nanyi who did it, they were originally going to kill Lord Xiang." ”

After Li Feng'an rebelled against Nanyi and was killed, it was Xiang Yun who led his troops to deal with the aftermath, and the descendants of the Ping clan were basically destroyed in his hands, compared to Yan Mao, Xiang Yun was the most hated enemy of the Ping clan in Nanyi.

In addition to the generals who think so, the people of the city also think so.

"There's some panic in the city." A general with a calm face said, "The assassin of the Nanyi people is so bold. ”

Li Feng'an was assassinated on the battlefield, Yan Mao was in the wild, and now he was assassinated in Fucheng.

"In addition, His Majesty in the capital has just had an accident, and the people are very uneasy." Another older official said in a deep voice, "This was not the case in the absence of the Metropolitan Governor before. ”

After all, an accident can be regarded as an accident by one person, and it is different if someone has an accident one after another.

"The assassin must be investigated and caught."

"This is Jiannan Road, and this is Fucheng."

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and Xiang Yun sat in the middle of it, seeming to be contemplative and seemingly distracted, until someone asked, "Lord Xiang, what is an assassin like?" How do you come from? ”

Xiang Yun looked at everyone with a little thought: "He didn't cover his face, he was about twenty years old, and he was handsome. ”

The people in the hall were surprised, assassins were usually disguised, so that they could hide their tracks, and handsome people were the center of attention in the crowd, and they would be remembered when walking on the street, let alone assassinations.

"He's very good, but he's not polished." Xiang Yun continued, "It's not a person in the army. ”

"Nanyi has a fart army." Li Min shouted, "The Ping clan raised a family, or did we instruct them to train for a few days. ”

"The Ping clan is also good at raising some so-called capable people." Someone added.

Xiang Yun didn't speak, he said the wrong thing just now, and he was distracted and said what was in his heart, he was not talking about people in the army, of course, he didn't mean Nanyi, but Jiannan Dao.

"Don't discuss this." Li Min said, "Third Master, please order us to draw a portrait and arrest the assassin first." ”

He was asking, but in fact, he had already given a final conclusion, and Li Fengyao didn't care about the conclusion, only the first half of the sentence was asked.

"Hurry up." He slapped the table with his big hand, and without Li Min's reminder, he waved at Xiang Yun, "Lord Xiang, don't live outside, move to the house first, it's safe here." ”

Xiang Yun thanked but refused: "How can Xiang Yun be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" I only regret that I didn't catch him, and I'm waiting for him to come back. ”

Yes, hiding in case of danger is indeed not the behavior of the people of Jiannan Dao, and others have also agreed.

Only Lee Bong-yao and Lee Min shook their heads.

"You're just too face-conscious." Master Li San said.

"The third master is right." Li Min said.

......

......

Of course, Xiang Yun didn't want to save face.

"The lord suspects that this assassin is from Jiannan Dao?" The attendant next to him asked in surprise.

"But this person really doesn't have the feeling that I am familiar with, and I will not be impressed with someone with such skills." Xiang Yun thought about it, he was too familiar with Jiannan Dao, more familiar than the people of Jiannan Dao, soldiers and horses are used to people with special skills and even types of weapons, "Maybe it was arranged by the people of Jiannan Dao and found from other places outside." ”

But the reaction of everyone in the hall is not a fake.

As for the conclusive belief that it was Nanyi's assassin, it was also because of him, after all, Nanyi's two assassinations were arranged by him, one has two, of course there can be three, this can be regarded as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

"I don't have evidence, it's all my guess, things have always been wrong, first squeezed me out...."Xiang Yun said, turned his head and saw the chubby face of the attendant in front of him, and stopped his voice.

The big chubby face was a little dazed and a little sluggish, this was not his personal retinue before.

Xiang Yun was silent for a moment: "Is it less than a burial?" ”

Knowing this, the fat face suddenly regained his clarity: "Buried, then write to the family to comfort and take care of his family." ”

Xiang Yun nodded, he didn't have to worry about these little things.

"Master, do you suspect that someone from Jiannan Dao did it? So I don't go to live in the Li house. The fat-faced retinue picked up his spirits and continued his previous words.

It's also no, Xiang Yun looked at this fat face and suddenly had no interest in speaking: "You go and arrange the small things, and write a letter to let the family not worry." ”

The fat-faced entourage replied by withdrawing.

Xiang Yun looked at the fluttering door curtain, not only could he not go to the Li Mansion to be locked up, and become a waste ornament like Master Li San, but he should also leave Jiannan Dao.

This assassin's appearance was too sudden, too inexplicable, and too coincidental, and it must have something to do with Jiannan Dao.

The Assassin was still wandering outside, waiting for a strike to be hit, and then he was thought to be dead to Nanyi's assassination.

He didn't want to use the results of his own arrangement to die in Jiannan Dao, and he couldn't use his life to verify his guesses, no matter how much calculation he had to live, no matter how talented he was, it was empty talk, just like Li Feng'an and Yan Mao.

When night fell, the palace was still brightly lit, and Li Min sat in front of the table and did not handle the documents with his left and right hands as usual, but looked at the lights with his chin on his chin in a daze.

For him now, being in a daze is a luxury.

"Where the hell did this assassin come from?" He muttered to himself, "Nanyi is impossible, is it related to the eldest lady?" ”

......
