Chapter 42: Coming and Going Without a Trace

An arrow came from the night, Xiang Yun grabbed the pro-soldier, and the arrow shot through the throat of the pro-soldier, all of this happened in the blink of an eye, and only blinked a moment more than this blink, and the other guards also moved.

The guards on the right spun like iron buckets to surround Xiang Yun, and the guards on the left spun like swords and rushed into the night.

The shouts of the entourage rang out.

"There are assassins!"

The shouts pierced the silence of the night.

.....

.....

The footsteps around the palace were noisy, and the soldiers guarding the city were tracking down in the city.

Hu Zhifu stood in front of the government with a group of officials, looking at the soldiers who were lying in a pool of blood and had their throats pierced, looking shocked.

"What's going on?"

"Assassins? What assassin? It's a rebel, right? ”

"The rebels have entered the city!"

Shouts resounded through the streets.

"Not the rebels, it's the Assassins." The retinue struggled out of the noise, "There is an assassin who has been assassinating our governor. ”

Governor Hu was stunned for a moment and stopped everyone's noise: "Is it a personal vendetta? ”

What was about to be said, Xiang Yun's voice sounded first: "It's still a disaster when Li Dadu was the governor back then." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't speak and went to help, Hu Zhifu looked at Xiang Yun, who was surrounded by the doctor, and got up, pressing his forehead with one hand, his forehead was already bandaged, and blood oozed from the white cloth.

Governor Hu also hurriedly stretched out his hand to help: "Lord Xiang, don't move." ”

Xiang Yun sat up and said in a hoarse voice: "Li Dudu was assassinated and assassinated back then, with the intention of messing up Jiannan Dao, after Li Dudu was killed, Yan Mao took over Jiannan Dao, and as a result, he was also assassinated and assassinated. ”

Jiannan Road is far away from Jiangling Mansion, and everyone knows about Li Feng'an's affairs in Daxia, but Yan Mao, an unrelated person, doesn't know it, and Hu Zhifu suddenly said when he heard it: "It's the remnants of Yiren!" ”

He said: "The Yi people don't have that much ability, this is the conspiracy of Ankang Mountain, and the Yi people rebelled in collusion with Ankang Mountain." ”

Hu Zhifu understood: "Jiannan Dao is the most soldiers and horses in the guards, and it is an important place in the southwest, if Jiannan Dao is chaotic, Daxia will be even more out of control, Li Dudu is not here, Li Xiaodudu is still young, just rely on you elders and brave generals." ”

As for those old men of the Li family, Governor Hu automatically ignored them.

Xiang Yun didn't refute their conversation, his hand stroked the wound on his forehead and frowned, the frown touched the wound, and the pain made his face tense.

"Then it's still a rebel."

"The rebels have infiltrated the city."

"An assassin is as dangerous as an army besieging a city."

"That is, if we kill Xiang Dudu, then kill the prefect, and then kill the chief general of Huainan Province, then our Jiangling Mansion will be self-defeating."

"Who is guarding the city? What's going on? ”

The officials questioned angrily again.

Li Minghua heard that an assassin also ran out in a hurry, and when she heard this, she was a little anxious, she looked around and saw that the city patrol soldiers were also coming.

There were not many people, more than a dozen, standing outside the crowd and pointing to see the excitement, the so-called main general locust had not yet come.

Hearing the officials questioning them, the dozen or so bandit soldiers immediately stopped laughing.

"It's none of our business!"

"We are in charge of the city, but if the rebels want to come in, they must first pass outside the city."

"If you want to ask, you have to ask the soldiers and horses outside, who is outside?"

"I know, outside is Jiannan Road, Southeast Road, Huainan Road....."

"Huainan Road doesn't count, Huainan Road came late, maybe the rebels have already come in at that time."

They were noisy and noisy, and more than a dozen people resisted the hustle and bustle of the city's search, Hu Zhifu couldn't bear to listen to the noise, and the general of Jiangling Mansion was even more helpless, Li Minghua stepped forward and scolded.

Their voices were a little quieter, but they were still unconvinced.

"Where's the locust?" Li Minghua shouted, "Is he still sleeping?" ”

Although he was familiar with Li Minghua, the bandit soldiers still didn't listen to her: "Lord General, how can we ask?" ”

Li Minghua was anxious: "Okay, I'll invite him." ”

Governor Hu was busy persuading, and Xiang Yun also stopped shouting to declare Hua, and a team of soldiers and horses rushed over, led by Zhou Shi.

"Bring everyone over in a moment." He looked at the bandits and said, "Otherwise, military law will be punished." ”

The bandit soldiers opened their mouths, looked at the banner of Mrs. Chu behind Zhou Shi and swallowed their words, straightened up and responded.

Zhou Shixia immediately stepped forward to salute Xiang Yun, Governor Hu and others: "This matter is our dereliction of duty, I have sealed off Jiangling Mansion and cooperated with Xiang Dudu's people to search." ”

Governor Hu and Xiang Yun nodded.

"It's not anyone's fault for being negligent." Xiang Yundao, "Assassins are not thousands of troops, and it is difficult to defend against them. ”

"Uncle Xiang, let's go to the mansion first." Li Minghua stepped forward to help.

Governor Hu was also busy shouting: "Carry a sedan chair and clean up my residence for Xiang Dudu to recuperate." ”

Xiang Yun rejected the sedan chair, stood up and said, "I'm fine, it's just a bruise on my head." Looking at Li Minghua again, "Minghua, it's more dangerous for you, don't move around at will." "Turn your head and tell your follow," Minghua's guards should be arranged. ”

Echo Yes.

Li Minghua thanked Xiang Yun and helped Xiang Yun to go in under the support of Hu Zhifu and others, and as soon as he entered, Zhou Shi came in with the locust.

"I don't dare to say anything else, one thing is certain." The locust exclaimed, "This Assassin is not hiding among the city's outcasts. ”

He was followed by seven or eight bandit soldiers, all holding stacks of books in their hands.

"We have all counted these displaced people, and although we are illiterate, we can distinguish with our own eyes which ones are skilled, and we pay special attention to surveillance."

"The displaced people are all concentrated in the settlement, the left and right companions are supervising each other, Shicai has already inquired, and no one has left tonight."

The locust pointed to the Assassin's arrows on the table.

"When we counted all the people in the city, we also found that all the weapons of the people were registered, and there was no bow suitable for this kind of arrow."

Governor Hu was a little surprised when he heard this: "You don't patrol the city at leisure, but you have so much information?" ”

The earth locust put on the solemn face of the main general: "Didn't you say that as long as you control the people, you can control the city." He added, "If the Assassin is mixed with the people of the city, we will know which one it is once they leave." ”

Is it really that powerful? Hu Zhifu glanced at Zhou Yan, this lady of Chu who looked very regular, looked calm, and did not feel that this was something to be proud of, but commonplace.

"Since it is an assassin who came to Chong Xiangdu, it should be left behind after the rebels retreated." Governor Hu said, "There should also be a search in the city, and even more so outside the city." ”

Xiang Yun said: "What Lord Hu said is extremely true. He added, "Assassins are a trivial matter, and the most important thing is to guard against the rebels. ”

Governor Hu said: "Governor Xiang will take care of his injuries, and we will do the rest." ”

Xiang Yun said thank you, Hu Zhifu sighed and said ashamed, and went out with soldiers and horses from all walks of life, Xiang Yun refused Li Minghua's service, and Li Minghua was also anxious to find the bandit man and left as he said.

The doctors went in and out, checked the forehead wound that they didn't need to check anymore, and left the medicine that didn't matter if they drank it or not.

The room was quiet, the hustle and bustle of the street dissipated, and the night gradually turned from dark to blue.

Xiang Yun lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep, exhaling a breath of turbidity.

The retinue said the words in his heart: "It's another guy! What a ghost! ”

Because of this assassin, Xiang Yun was trapped in Longyou for half a year, and after a rigorous search and investigation, he strengthened more guards before he came out, and this assassin actually appeared again.

"This man is truly an assassin." Xiang Yun said, "Every time it appears at the moment when I am most relaxed. ”

The most relaxed time is not when you are complacent, but when you are approaching complacent, what you want is in front of you, just waiting to reach out and get it, at this time he is looking forward to it, thinking, and wandering.

The guards are also tighter and tighter every time, and Xiang Yun also knows that there are no absolutes in the world, but they can wait until the bucket-like guards take two steps at a time, and there is a mistake in the step, and then catch the omission of this step, only those assassins who take assassination as their life can do it.

"Inside and out, our soldiers and horses." Personally followed, although Huainan Dao is not very reliable, but it did not add to the chaos, "It is not so easy for him to run this time." ”

Xiang Yun shook his head: "There is no need for people to search around, he has already run away." ”

This is an assassin who has only two things in his life, one is to assassinate him, and the other is to save his own life.

If you miss a blow, turn around and leave, the rest of the thing is to hide and save your life, not to be greedy for another opportunity, as long as you are alive, it is the greatest opportunity.

He couldn't even remember the Assassin's face, only the first time he saw it was a frontal glance, which had become blurry.

Difficult and terrifying, like an evil ghost, was this evil ghost sent by Lee Bong-an from hell?

Xiang Yun was lying in the sweltering heat of the summer room, chilling all over his body.

When the day dawned, the noisy gathering place gradually subsided, and some of the displaced people who were woken up went to sleep, and some went to work according to the arrangement.

Last night's incident with the Assassins did not cause panic.....

Li Minghua breathed a sigh of relief, so he didn't scold the bandit soldiers who yawned and lazy in front of him, although they were lazy, they didn't really do anything.

"Miss Minghua, who are you looking for?" The locust said, "You haven't slept all night, go and rest, if you don't sleep, the little girl will grow old." ”

Li Minghua ignored his words and asked, "What about your eldest brother?" ”

The locust looked a little puzzled: "Who's the big brother?" Me? As he spoke, he wiped his eyes with sadness, "My eldest brother died when I was a child. ”

Li Minghua was stunned and annoyed: "You know who I'm talking about. ”

"I don't know, Miss Minghua, whose big brother are you looking for? What's it called? The locust sighed, "I don't know if the person you're looking for is still there, we originally had 1,800 good brothers, but now there are only seven or eight hundred left." ”

Li Minghua looked at the locust and understood what he meant by what he said pretending to be crazy and stupid.
