On the afternoon of the 10th, the Western Xia delegation arrived in the capital and stayed in the "Duting Xiyi", which was specially designed to receive the Western Xia delegation. After Liu Linshen settled the mission, in the evening, he found Yao Dutou, the forbidden army guarding the pavilion, and said: "Yao Dutou, the three princes of Western Xia and a few officials are going to the Fugui Restaurant, and you are responsible for this protection." ”

Yao Dutou said: "Lord Liu, troops must be sent to guard everywhere in the pavilion, at present, there are only a dozen forbidden troops that can be mobilized to protect the three princes, do you want to tell me about it and send some forbidden troops?" ”

Liu Linshen is a member of the Dilong Gang, and according to the plan of the Dilong Gang, he deliberately delayed until the evening before notifying Yao Dutou, so that the post house could not send enough forbidden troops to protect the three princes who went out.

Liu Lin pretended to be anxious and said to Yao Dutou: "Now it's definitely too late to ask for more forbidden troops." Then, he provoked again: "The Tangut people don't say hello in advance, it's just too unsightly!" However, I asked, there were more than 50 Xixia people who went to the restaurant with the three princes, and about forty of them were responsible for protecting the three princes, and they claimed that they were strong in martial arts and did not need us to send people to protect them. ”

Yao Dutou said angrily: "Hmph! In that case, there is no need for us to send someone! ”

"Yao Dutou, don't be like them, you have to go through the motions! You take a dozen or so people with you, and if something goes wrong, we can deal with them, because we send out all the people we can send out!" ”

When Yao Du heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he gathered the twelve forbidden troops who could be mobilized to protect the three princes and his party. Yao Dutou led more than a dozen forbidden troops to open the way in front and led more than 50 people from the Western Xia Mission to the Fugui Restaurant. As he walked, Yao Dutou noticed that the number of Western Xia envoys following him was gradually decreasing.

Yao Du saw that Yuan Jun, the staff of the third prince, was by his side, so he said to him: "You go and tell the people walking behind that it is not safe to act alone, and you have to follow our brigade." ”

Yuan Jun replied: "Yao Dutou, you don't have to worry, they all have martial arts, and they will go to the restaurant." ”

When he came to the Fugui Restaurant, Yao Dutou found that there were only twenty people left in the Western Xia delegation who followed him.

The Fugui Restaurant has already emptied the field, waiting for the arrival of the Western Xia mission, and there is a big signboard at the door, which reads "Welcome to the Western Xia VIP". Yao Dutou pointed to the big signboard and said to Shopkeeper Zhou dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper Zhou, if you put this signboard outside, it may attract assassins." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou replied with a smile: "With so many people and the protection of the forbidden army, how could the assassins come?" The Western Xia delegation is willing to show its face to our restaurant, of course, we have to let the world know. ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Take down the welcome sign now! ”

Shopkeeper Zhou had no choice but to call someone out, and then personally took the three princes and his party to the peony private room on the second floor. After the third prince entered the private room and sat down, six people sat down around him, four guards stood in the room, and ten guards stood outside the private room.

Yuan Jun said to Yao Dutou: "You guys go back, it's just a meal, here we are protecting." ”

Yao Dutou replied: "I'm afraid this will not work, it is our duty to protect the safety of the mission." ”

When the third prince heard this, he said angrily: "This king's personal guards are all strong in martial arts!" When this king eats, he doesn't like to have outsiders present! ”

Yao Dutou had no choice but to take people to guard outside the restaurant. Not long after, Yao Dutou saw a lot of suspicious people around the restaurant, he caught a sneaky vendor, and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you go around Nirvana Restaurant? I see you've turned around a few times. ”

The peddler replied, "I'm an egg seller." ”

"Nonsense! Listening to your accent, you are not from the Great Song Dynasty! Yao Dutou took out his waist card and shook it, and said intimidatingly: "I am the head of the forbidden army, and I see that you are Liao's fine work, and I want to attack our Xixia guests!" Come on, arrest him and put him in prison, and hit two hundred boards first! ”

The peddler hurriedly said, "Yao Dutou, don't get me wrong! I am the bodyguard of Western Xia, and we are responsible for protecting the three princes on the perimeter of the restaurant. After speaking, he took out his waist card and handed it to Yao Dutou to see.

After Yao Dutou finished reading it, he asked, "How many of you are protecting the perimeter?" ”

"Thirty-five people."

Yao Dutou pondered: "When I left the post station, there were a total of fifty-five Xixia people, and after arriving at the Fugui Restaurant, there were only twenty people left, and on the way, there were indeed thirty-five people who left the team. This is consistent with the hawker's confession. So he waved his hand and let the vendor go.

Besides, the third prince and the others had eaten for more than an hour, and they didn't dare to drink a drop of wine, and one of them muttered in a low voice: "Why hasn't the assassin come yet?" ”

Another replied, "Is there a mistake in the message?" ”

Yuan Jun said to the two: "Don't let your guard down! ”

After a while, seven little two walked in with plates, and one of them said loudly: "The special dish dragon and phoenix are coming." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise from the roof, as if someone was uncovering the roof tiles. The third prince smiled and whispered, "The assassin is really here, everyone get ready." ”

The Tanguts in the house all drew their weapons and looked up at the roof nervously. At this time, the seven little two who delivered the food sent in sent poison darts at the Tanguts, and the ten Tanguts in the private room were all hit by a poison dart in their necks, and they all fell to the ground and died. Then, the seven little two opened the window, quickly jumped onto the roof, and ran on the roof.

When the guards standing outside the private room heard the movement and rushed into the house, there was no one alive in the room. The Western Xia guards were brave and good at fighting, and they were good at kung fu immediately, but their ability to fly on the wall was much worse than that of the assassins. They climbed onto the roof, chased after the Assassin, and notified the Western Xia guards who were patrolling the restaurant to chase them in the direction where the Assassin had fled. Seeing this, Yao Dutou secretly exclaimed: "It's not good! He jumped onto the roof and chased after him.

Yao Dutou was so good that he jumped from roof to roof, as if he were running on flat ground, without the slightest pause, and soon left the Western Xia guards behind, and the distance between him and the assassin was slowly shortening. At this time, all the assassins rushing in front jumped into a high-rise compound, Yao Dutou looked fixedly, and saw that it was Xiang Taishi's mansion, and he couldn't help but stop.

Yao Dutou quickly calculated in his brain: "Could it be that Taishi Xiang has something to do with the assassination?" If I chase into the Taishi's Mansion, the Taishi's Mansion will beat me upside down, saying that I am an assassin and will assassinate the Taishi; If I enter through the main gate and ask for someone from Taishi Xiang, he will definitely not admit it, and will bite back, saying that I framed him, and in the end, it is me who is unlucky. I'd better chase it until here, and let the people from Dali Temple go to check on Master Xiang. ”。

Thinking of this, Yao Dutou turned around and went to Dali Temple to report the case.
