Chapter 20: Surprise
The warrior stooped and ran, his right hand clutching the dagger, his left arm swinging unnaturally from the wounds. People on both sides saw this scene, and two guards flashed around Prince Reeves in an instant, chasing after the man. They knew that the princess of the Sith Kingdom must not have an accident, especially in the Great Qin Palace.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, no one would have thought that the warrior sent by Reeves to fight would be an assassin, and the two guards would not be able to catch up in time even if they pursued with all their might, and at that time, the problem would be too serious, and the Sith Kingdom would definitely break with Great Qin. Reeves' bowels were blue with regret, what the hell was going on?
The princess of the Sith Kingdom turned pale, and the fear of death enveloped her whole body, so frightened that her legs trembled, let alone escape, and now she couldn't even walk the most basic.
Anne stood in front of the princess with her arms outstretched, her eyes closed and she did not dare to look at the approaching assassin, tears rolling down her cheeks like dewdrops, which was extremely pitiful.
Am I going to die?
Lei Shan, as the only combat force that can be used here, saw that the situation was critical, and quickly took out his sword from his spatial ring, thinking to himself, as long as he could resist it and buy enough time for the guards who came to him, the guards would be able to take him down.
The man had already been seriously injured, and in Lei Shan's opinion, even if he was inferior to the other party, the only thing to worry about was the dagger in the assassin's hand, which was obviously extremely poisonous.
The assassin saw that he had made a small mistake halfway, and the fierceness in his eyes flashed. Lao Tzu has been waiting for the opportunity for so long, and he doesn't even want his hands, how can he let you be a little deflated and give a good thing.
The assassin's right hand swept away, and the momentum sank, and Lei Shan's sword in both hands was instantly missed. In this way, it was clear that the assassin still had some strength left, and he was not as seriously injured and weak as Lei Shan had expected.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, the dagger flew and slashed in an arc towards Thunder Mountain's throat.
Lei Shan didn't want to sit still, and roared angrily, wanting to block this fatal blow with the hilt of his sword, but was it too late?
"Ah!~~" A flash of fire flashed, the assassin screamed, the dagger was released, and the whole person was sent flying. It was Thunder Wind who punched the assassin in the left rib at this critical moment under the cover of Xiao Budian and saved Lei Shan.
The assassin's face was blackened, the inner house was hit hard, and a mouthful of blood came out with a loud sound, and with the dark face at this time, it looked hideous and terrifying.
Lei Shan looked at the assassin who was kneeling on the ground with palpitations, he was really hanging just now, and he almost died at the hands of the other party.
At this time, the two guards who were chasing were only ten steps away from here.
The assassin vomited blood, seeing that he could not do anything, he glanced at the two brothers of Lei Mountain and Lei Feng fiercely, and took out a black ball in his right hand and threw it to the ground.
The black ball slammed into the ground, sending up a cloud of black smoke, and by the time the guards arrived, the smoke cleared, leaving the Assassin nowhere to be found, leaving only the thick blood stains on the ground.
"I'm a good girl, Naruto, you. Looking at the vanished assassin, Lei Feng couldn't help but complain in his heart. Just now, thanks to the little little thing that attracted the attention of the assassin, he was able to take advantage of his unpreparedness to succeed in one blow, otherwise if he was single-handed, he would not be able to chop a few of his own people.
"Wow, bmm, please, bh Hearing the prompt sound, I thought that Qingyue was going to do something again, but when Lei Feng saw the prompt box, the whole person was speechless in surprise. "Resolve the diplomatic crisis between the two countries and reward merit with 1,000 points. "God Allah Amitabha, Allah Jesus Immeasurable Celestial. What kind of situation is this, so nervous and happy.
The matter was over, and Lei Shan and Lei Feng were hurriedly taken away by their mother, who rushed to hear the news.
The reason for the whole thing is funny, because his cousin Reeves wanted to ask the princess of the Sith country for a few more puppet boxes, and the princess wanted him to exchange his sword for it, and he actually said that he only exchanged belongings with beautiful women. Although the princess hasn't grown yet, she is definitely beautiful enough, and of course I'm not happy to hear him say that. In the end, the two decided to solve the problem in the aristocratic way: send their men to duel, and whoever wins will take each other's things. This led to the assassination that followed.
"Why are you two so stupid? That's an assassin, it's a silver assassin, is that something you two kids can do to me? If this is a mistake, how can you call your mother to live....." In the carriage, Lina hugged the two children and cried and reprimanded. It's really scary, just one drop of snake venom on that dagger can kill a golden warrior on the spot, if you scratch a little, even if there is a companion demonic beast, it is useless.
Lei Shan comforted: "Mother, the situation was urgent, and I saw that the assassin was seriously injured in the fight, and he couldn't exert any strength, so he came to the rescue." ”
Thunder Wind said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
Lei Shan glanced at his younger brother and continued: "Besides, my brother and I don't need to defeat him, as long as we hold for a while, the guards will be able to arrive." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"Mother, although I am still young, my ideal is to use the sword in my hand to defend my Daqin like my grandfather and father. If I retreat today, I can't guarantee that one day in the future, I won't drop my sword to save my life. ”
"Yes, yes, yes... Oh, Mom, why are you hitting me? Lei Feng covered his head and looked at his mother.
Lina was so amused by the thunderstorm that she finally stopped her tears. She hugged the two little ones and said gently: "Mom knows, you are all men, men always have to grow up, sooner or later, you will leave your mother to experience your own life." However, please leave your childhood with your mother, this is the most precious thing in your mother's heart. Okay?"
Lina hugged her two children tightly and refused to let go for a long time. Lei Feng felt the thing called mother's love slowly blur on his shoulder, and soaked into his heart.
In the afternoon, Duke Lei's mansion, Duke Lei's study.
Lei Feng was holding a brief history of Great Qin, and while reading it, he cross-referenced it with the map on the table.
"It turns out that the Sith and I, Daqin, are allies, no wonder they can get so many merit points by stopping the assassins. ”
According to the information learned by Lei Feng, the Sith and Daqin have established diplomatic relations for a long time, and the two countries have maintained diplomatic relations of mutual communication and love for each other for a long time. One is based on the armed forces of the legion, and the other is based on the manufacture of organs, and the two countries have cooperated a lot in the fields of military and people's livelihood. The reason for this can be traced back to the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin more than 100 years ago, when the Sith Kingdom was spied on by Bangzi, Baqi and other countries because of its mechanism manufacturing technology, and it fell into the crisis of annihilation several times, and most of the original allies stood by and waited for the opportunity to get a piece of the pie in the end. At that time, only Da Qin stood up and reached out to help, raising the troops of the whole country to help the Sisi Kingdom inflict heavy losses on the invading enemy and get through the difficulties. Since then, the two countries have agreed to be friendly for generations to come and will never turn their backs.
Therefore, if the princess of the Sith Kingdom really died in the Great Qin Palace this time, it would no longer matter whether the assassin was from Great Qin or not. The Sith State is bound to break with Great Qin, or even go to war directly. When the time comes, it won't be solved by one or two people dying.
According to the theory that "the ultimate beneficiary is the murderer", the suspicion of Bangziguo at this time is the greatest. The country of Yaqi is in a civil war and has no time to take care of anything else; the nomadic tribes in the northwest are busy herding sheep and cattle, and they can't spare their hands; as for the federation of the 36 countries in the southwest, they don't underestimate them, how can they have the courage to do so. No matter how far away the other big countries are, it is even more impossible, and it is estimated that they will only be able to get the news when the Sisi envoy returns home.
However, if it is really Bangziguo, will things be too obvious, this is almost a carving of "I am a murderer" on the brain. Isn't Bang Zi afraid that the Sisi State will not be tricked at all or that the assassination will fail? At that time, he Bang Zi will have to face two angry enemies, not just one Great Qin.
Lei Feng propped his chin and whispered, "Will things be so simple?"
