Chapter XVII: Assassination
For several days, in the middle of the night, the study of the general in the general's mansion was very lively.
Every day, several waves of people come to report it.
"Returning to the general, the eastern suburbs have not been able to find it."
"Back to the general, Nishino searched for it but failed."
"Returning to the general, the search under the cliff has not been successful."
……
At this moment, it was the third watch, and the sad Yunde was waiting for the report of the last wave of spies today.
"General, Madame is not acting out of the ordinary." Someone came down on one knee to report it.
Patience was consumed, Yun De raised his hand and kneaded his tense brows, and said lightly, "Explore again." ”
"Subordinates obey." The spy got up and wanted to leave.
Yun De seemed to think of something, and called out to the spies again, "Wait." ”
The spy knelt on the ground again, clasped his hands into fists, "Subordinates listen to orders." ”
"Give the order to go down and continue the search, without a moment's delay. To live to see people, to die to see corpses. ”
The spy was ordered to leave, suddenly appearing and quietly leaving like a ghost.
Close your eyes and think. Brush the whole thing up in your head. I always feel like something is missing. In fact, he was very afraid of receiving the news that Yunyan was dead. He was far away on the frontier before, why did he suddenly rush back to the capital?
Just because he met a priest by chance, he let out wild words that his daughter was the daughter of destiny and the noblewoman in his life. When I heard it, I thought it was the Taoist priest who wanted to cheat him out of some money.
He immediately turned around and left, not planning to deal with the Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest actually said that there was a small plum-shaped birthmark on the butterfly bone on Yunyan's back.
has brushed shoulders with death many times, and Yun De, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, was stunned on the spot. turned to the Taoist priest to ask, but the Taoist priest smiled and said nothing, shook the Buddha dust and turned around and left.
That night, Yun Dexiu returned to Beijing and arranged the matter, and he hurried back to the capital overnight and secretly returned to the capital in advance. Unexpectedly, he found that his daughter, who had been stupid for many years, suddenly spoke sharply.
Moreover, it happened that the second daughter Yunluo made a mistake and took off the management of the He family. Everything seems to be as the Taoist priest said, because of the sudden change of clouds, he also did a lot of things secretly.
However, he has been away from Beijing for too long, and the power of the He clan has been deeply rooted in the general's mansion, and it is difficult to completely eradicate it at one time.
The third watch has passed, Yunde got up and went back to the room to rest.
has always been a loner, and after Yunyan's mother died, there were no other women in his house except for the He family. So, no one would leave a light in the room just to wait for him.
Entering the room, by the faint moonlight, with memory, Yun De walked to the bedside, took off his coat and boots, and prepared to sleep.
Tita, who had just closed his eyes and had been waiting in the dark part of the room for a long time, clenched the dagger in his hand and waited for an opportunity to act.
Yun De, who has been licking blood from the knife all year round, has not yet opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to block the cold dagger.
Tida misses a blow and moves forward to stab hard.
Yun De opened his eyes and got up, barefoot on the ground to fight the stabbed Qida.
"Where did the little guy come from? Don't tie your hands yet. Yun De dodged a knife and reached out to pull Tida's face towel, but Tida had already had an early warning and was dodged by his head.
"If you want to know, then go to Lord Yama and ask your daughter." Tiida pressed forward step by step, close to Yun De, and the dagger in his hand cut through Yun De's left arm.
Although the master said that he was pretending to assassinate Yunde, heh, where did the hypocrisy come from, and he had to do a full set of plays.
Thinking like this in his heart, Tida's left hand was blocked, and he threw two darts at Yunde.
Tiida's attack was fast and steady, and Yun De, who was harmed, retreated vigorously. Leaning his back against the post, a short body spun around to dodge the two darts that appeared as if out of thin air.
"Wow!" Two darts entered and landed firmly on the mahogany.
As soon as you hear this meaning, could it be that Yunyan is dead? No, he didn't believe it. What the Taoist priest said was by no means a lie.
Enraged, Yun De retreated a few steps and dodged to the shelf, drawing his sword and striking back.
The sword against the dagger, obviously. Qida, who had just gained the upper hand, saw that the situation was not good, and thought that the goal had been achieved, and it was too late to retreat at this moment.
The fight in the house has alarmed the guards guarding outside.
Tiida's distraction made Yun De succeed, and it was too late to dodge, and Yun De slashed a sword in the chest with a long sword.
Two Secret Guards stepped forward, both forcing back Tida's attack and keeping him at bay.
Tida had two swords around his neck, and he was pointed at the acupoint, and the face towel was decisively picked open.
"Pick up his clothes and see who he is." Yun De threw the sword to the dark guard waiting on the side.
It stands to reason that Yun De has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and since he entered the battlefield at the age of fourteen, he has not encountered any difficult opponents so far.
Looking at the appearance of Tida, he is weak, why is he so skilled. And the move is deadly. Maybe it's a dead soldier who was secretly cultivated.
Tiida's nightwalking suit was picked open by the Dark Guard with his sword, and a mark leaked out of his chest.
Looking at that mark, Yun De suddenly felt his scalp tingle. It was the mark that belonged to the Idle King. He won't admit it.
Isn't the idle king going to get married? Why did you kill Yunyan?
"How did Yunyan die?" Yun De's heart was burning with rage at the moment, and his red eyes were staring at Qida's mouth, as if he was expecting to hear the news that Yun Yan was not dead from his mouth.
"Hehe, how did you die? I strangled him. "Tiida secretly slandered himself, dead is dead, how to die is important?
"The idle king sent you to kill me, did you recommend yourself?" Yun De combined all the news he had investigated before, and most of the news pointed to the He family. But now, with the ironclad fact, he is now going to kill his idle king.
"If you want to kill, you have to listen to it. I underestimated your skills and overestimated my own strength. Mission failure is death, there's nothing to say. When Tiida stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, he understood that there was no turning back when he took on this task.
Yun De is the god of war. The General's Mansion can be described as heavily guarded. If you can get in, you may not be able to get out.
Although the He family's cultivation of dead soldiers is inhumane, fortunately, the He family is indeed untrustworthy.
As long as you don't betray the He family, they will still treat your family well. Perhaps, they are here to continue to train the next generation of dead soldiers.
At the moment, none of that matters. Although Tiida is young, he is more powerful among the same group of dead soldiers.
Taking advantage of Yun De's distraction, Qida, who had already broken through the acupoint, made the final blow.
Lying backwards, one rolls on his side, crawls up, and escapes from under the Dark Guard's sword.
In a few jumps, he jumped onto the plane tree in the courtyard, and with a leap to the high wall, he could escape from here.
"Kill!" Yunde looked at Tida in the distance and gave an order to the dark guard.
I saw that the figure that was still flying in the air was shot by a rain of arrows. Tida, who had already stepped on the wall in one step, tilted his body, lost his strength and crosshair, and fell straight behind. Whoosh and fall hard to the ground.
