Wednesday Lang led a hundred guards and gave chase.

These more than a dozen assassins are quite skillful. However, the pursuers were ten times outnumbered, and they were soon surrounded and killed on the spot. Wednesday Lang wanted to keep his mouth alive, but the assassins were all dead, and they were either killed or killed by biting the poison in their mouths. There is no possibility of catching a mouth alive at all.

The turmoil caused by the assassins subsided in just a stick of incense.

The bloody corpses were quickly dragged over, and the corpses were placed side by side. That scene was quite "spectacular".

The thick smell of blood is disgusting.

Lu Chi's face was faintly pale, and Ye Jingzhi's face was also pale.

Zhao Qi met an assassin for the first time in his life, his legs were a little sore at this time, and his mouth was still strong: "Haha! These assassins are so bold that they dare to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Shu! There will be no return for them! ”

Sheng Hong glanced at Zhao Qi teasingly: "Okay, don't pretend to be stupid and bold." No one will laugh at you! ”

Zhao Qi rubbed his smiling and stiff face, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't see that the atmosphere is too solemn, I want to liven up the atmosphere!" ”

Lu Chi, Ye Jingzhi and others: "......"

The atmosphere doesn't need you to be active, please shut up, thank you!

Although the assassins were all killed, Sheng Hong did not let down his vigilance, and ordered most of the guards to stay in place. Another 200 guards were sent to search for any other assassins.

The inn a few miles away was also alarmed.

Yi Cheng personally led people to greet him, and when he saw the corpse on the ground, Yi Cheng, who was over forty years old, trembled, and his legs were weak, so he knelt down: "Your Majesty is incompetent, please calm your anger!" ”

Sheng Hong did not have the habit of being angry with others, and said lightly: "When I encounter an assassin on the way, this king will order someone to send him back to the capital, and ask the emperor to investigate this matter strictly." It's none of your business, get up! ”

Yi Cheng's face turned white, he thanked him in a trembling way, and stood up straight again.

Sheng Hong's gaze swept over the frightened Yicheng, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Every thirty miles of official road, there is a post house. For officials and their families to eat and rest. The post is a low-ranking official who is not in the stream, and he is in charge of five or six people.

Scholars with a little background don't look down on such a lowly official position. Because of this, most of the posts are served by veterans who have won some military exploits on the battlefield. It's not uncommon to be over forty years old.

It's just that since he has fought on the march, how can he be so frightened and scared when he sees the corpse?

It's a bit of an overdress!

Also, today's assassins are really too weak. It's not like King Ning's handwriting at all!

Sheng Hong's heart flashed, and he glanced at Commander Zhou.

Commander Zhou suddenly understood and nodded imperceptibly.

……

In the carriage, Lin Weiwei was also scared enough, hugged Brother You tightly, and patted Brother You'er on the back from time to time: "Brother You'er, don't be afraid, my mother is here!" No one wants to hurt you. ”

Xie Mingxi glanced at Lin Weiwei silently.

You're the one who is scared!

The nervousness of adults can easily infect children. Brother You'er twisted his body a little uneasily, and then cried quietly.

Ah Luo slept sweetly in Gu Shanchang's arms, her ruddy little mouth opened slightly, and a small drool flowed from her mouth.

Gu Shanchang's heartbeat was also a little unstable, and his face could still be tense, he listened intently for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry." The commotion outside has subsided. It seems that the assassin has been caught. ”

Lin nodded slightly.

Xie Mingxi said softly: "You stay here, I'm going to get off the carriage and take a look." ”

Lin was slightly startled, and blurted out: "Sister Xie, it's getting dark, I don't know what's going on outside, so don't take this risk." ”

Xie Mingxi pulled the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "Don't worry. I'll come when I go. ”

Without waiting to push the car door, Sheng Hong came over and said through the window: "The assassins have all bowed down, don't be alarmed." The first two miles is the post house, you wait here for a while, I have let Zhou Tong take the lead to the post house. ”

Xie Mingxi was so keen, he knew something was wrong when he heard it, and when he opened the car window, he happened to meet Sheng Hong's eyes.

"Is there anything else wrong?" Xie Mingxi's eyes were cold: "Why don't you go directly to the post house?" ”

Sheng Hong lowered his voice and said, "That Yicheng is too panicked, I always feel that something is wrong. simply let Zhou Tong take the lead and let people go to the post house to check it out. lest they be ambushed again. ”

Xie Mingxi immediately came to his senses: "Serial scheme!" ”

The Assassins who appeared first were just pawns who came to their deaths to divert their attention. Generally speaking, when an Assassin is caught, he will slacken. At this time, if a wave of assassins suddenly appeared in the post house, it would be really fatal.

Sheng Hong nodded, a coldness flashed in his eyes: "Those assassins, they died too easily!" ”

Xie Mingxi thought for a moment and reminded in a low voice: "There are already assassins who have been killed, and it is unlikely that someone is ambushed in the post house. Instead, beware of poisoning in water or food. ”

Sheng Hong was more proficient in assassination by Xie Mingxi: "Among the people brought by Commander Zhou, there are those who are good at using poison. Just look it up. ”

"Take down the post first." Xie Mingxi immediately said: "If the post house is fine, it's just that he was wronged." In case he is really sent to assassinate you and me, he can also take a live mouth and send it to the capital. Come to think of it, the emperor will never let go of such a good opportunity to 'investigate and ask for crimes'. ”

After Sheng Hong was reminded, he did not hesitate, and immediately called someone over and gave the order in a low voice.

Lin Weiwei and Gu Shanchang heard the whispers of the husband and wife throughout the whole process.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the amazement in each other's eyes.

Sheng Hong is keen and shrewd, and Xie Mingxi is even more agile. The hearts and eyes of the husband and wife combined, I am afraid that there are more than lotus roots. Those who want to murder their husband and wife are doomed to return in vain.

……

In less than half an hour, Commander Zhou came back with a gloomy face, his eyes full of anger.

"Your Highness, Yi Cheng was suddenly taken down, and there was indeed poison hidden in his mouth. Thankfully, we started early, otherwise, we wouldn't have survived. ”

"There are no people in ambush in the post house, there is no problem with the water and food, and the courtyard has been carefully checked, and there is no problem. What really poisoned it was the candlesticks in every room. ”

"Moreover, the front half of the candlestick is not poisonous, and the poison is hidden in the back half. It burns for more than an hour before a subtle poisonous smoke comes out. ”

If you don't have suspicion and be vigilant, according to the normal situation, you will only check the water, food and all over the room, and you can't find the problem at all. I'm afraid that this candlestick will be ignored in the past.

This series of schemes can be said to be vicious and clever!

After Lu Chi and the others heard this, they all gasped, and a chill broke in their hearts.

Who is there to have a deep hatred with His Royal Highness the King of Shu! actually set up such a poisonous plan to murder the king of Shu!
