Chapter 68: Zhang Yan's Death
Indeed, this is the case. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Rose said with a wry smile, "But, why did Zhang Yan die? It stands to reason that there are only two hundred mutant cheetahs, and although it is impossible for her to destroy them alone, there are two hundred city guards behind her. I've also seen those of you city guards, although the strength is very average, but with Zhang Yan, you can definitely easily destroy the enemy, even if you have damage, it will definitely not be her turn to die. ”
"It's not my sister who is dead. Zhang Lu sighed, "The head of the Li family, as well as the four heroes of the Li family, all died by my sister's side. The strength of Li Sen, the head of the Li family, according to his brother's words, is to sit firmly on the ladder of second-rate ability, and his four juniors are almost as strong as the captains of the city guard, but they are all dead. ”
"Why?" asked in a low voice, "What happened then?" asked Rose in a low voice, frowning tightly and with an incredible light in her eyes, as if she had thought of something?"
"Hehe, it was announced to the public that it was my sister who died under the attack of the mutant cheetah, but those of us who are inside know that not long after the battle began, my sister and they died. Zhang Lu said with a mocking smile, "My sister and the five guards of the Li family all died in the assassination. At that time, they were still behind the team, and my sister was going to organize a mobile force to go around the back of the leopards to raid and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield. ”
"There are a full twenty people in the mobile force, led by my sister and five members of the Li family, and there are some masters of the city guard, including two of the captains. The strength of this group of people is already very strong, and according to my brother, there will be absolutely no accidents. ”
"The raven's estimate was not wrong at all. Rose nodded, "With this strength, even if the person you want to assassinate is a first-class master, you may not dare to make a rash move." It won't be those top masters who do it, to be honest, few of the top masters are willing to assassinate people with very weak strength like us, and even if they have you, they can't afford to invite them, not to mention, they generally don't make deals with people in small cities like Damask City. ”
"Maybe you're right, but it turns out everything. When they were out of sight of the large army and preparing to go around from the side, an accident appeared. Zhang Lu said noncommittally, "According to the descriptions of the seven people who survived at the time, a person suddenly came out of the ground, pierced my sister's heart directly from behind, and then wiped Li Sen's throat with his hand. ”
"Wait, you just said, from the ground?" Rose sat up straight suddenly, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the violin case at her side, "Out of the dirt?"
"Yes, we don't quite understand how he can get out of the dirt. Zhang Lu smiled bitterly, "My brother checked the scene afterwards, and there was indeed a hole, but that hole definitely didn't look like it was dug by someone." Why, Sister Rose looks at your expression, it seems that she has come into contact with similar people?"
"No, it's just similar. Rose's fingers rubbed against the clasp hidden in the violin case, and she shook her head, "Go on, what about later?"
"Later?" Zhang Lu showed a standard crow-like smile, but compared to the crow's city, it was still difficult for the little girl to hide the coldness in her eyes, "There are two versions of what happened later. ”
"Oh?" asked Rose with interest, "what are they?"
The first account was narrated by those who survived, including Du Yan, who had been pursuing his sister. Zhang Lu mocked, I don't know whether it was self-deprecation or mocking the dead Du Yan, "They said that the enemy appeared too quickly, and when they reacted, my sister and Li Sen were already dead, and the rest of them surrounded the enemy, fighting the assassin desperately, and after losing eleven more people, the assassin ran away, and they themselves were wounded in many places. ”
"Interesting, interesting to say. Rose sneered, "For people who don't know the world of the strong, it's likely that they're really bluffed." If the other party is really a shameless top master, it only takes a few seconds to kill them, and if they want to leave, they can't surround them at all. And if the other party is only a first-class master, even if it is a first-class master at the peak, it is difficult to kill Zhang Yan and Li Sen so neatly. ”
"What a coincidence, my brother said the same thing. Zhang Lu bit her lip lightly, and said after a while of silence, "My brother told me another way. Sister Rose, I'm afraid you don't know, the second brother of the Li family, like you, is also a capable person of the plant soul. ”
"Huh?" Rose asked with a smirk, "How do you know that I am a plant-based soul powerhouse?"
"Please, Sister Rose, are you kidding me?" Zhang Lu said angrily, "You call Rose directly, although my brothers and sisters always say I'm stupid, but no matter how stupid I am, I won't be able to guess." ”
Zhang Lu's sudden girlish posture made Rose's mood fluctuate, and in a trance, she seemed to see the woman in white who was as elegant as a valley lily, holding the hand of a girl in red, strolling into the distance. Zhang Lu, the girl in front of her who instinctively showed off how her sister was again and again, gradually overlapped with the girl in red who was far away in the eyes of the rose.
This strange association made the coldness in the depths of her eyes gradually thaw, and Rose shook her head with a slight smile with a little doting, "Okay, I won't tease you, I know what you want to say, we guys with plant souls, our lives are actually very hard, even if we are absolutely fatally injured, we will die slower than others, and we can also enter a dormant state to delay death for a while." ”
"Yes, that's what I mean. Although Zhang Lu was a little puzzled by the changes in the rose, he continued, "When my brother arrived, the second brother of the Li family actually had a breath of relief, and said a few words to my brother when there was no one else around, and he said, Du Yan did it." ”
"And so it was. "I'm afraid that the assassin left immediately after the successful sneak attack, and the seven so-called survivors took the opportunity to attack the other eleven companions behind their backs." ”
"There were not just seven, but nine, and two died under the counterattack of the Li family's brothers. ”
"Well, how do you know?" asked Rose curiously, "this is something that only those who have experienced it in the field can know." ”
"Oh, because above my sister's head, there are always crows watching. Zhang Lu sighed, "From beginning to end." ”
"I see, did the crow watch Zhang Yan die?" Rose nodded, "No wonder he knows everything." ”
In fact, it was not to watch my sister die, my brother only saw that scene from the eyes of the crows later, and the order he gave to the crows was to keep an eye on my sister and raise the alarm once there were signs of danger. "However, it wasn't until the assassin's dagger stabbed into my sister's heart that the crows chirped. Hehe, my brother's pets are very sensitive, and if they want to hide in the soil to hide from the perception of the crows, unless he goes three meters deep underground, otherwise, according to my brother's words, only the top abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to understand can do it. ”
"That's right, maybe one of the twenty or thirty people at the top. Rose said thoughtfully, "But how could those people accept an assassination mission at will, or assassinate an enemy who is not in their eyes." ”
"I know the reason for this problem, but if I don't explain it to you Sister Rose now, it's more troublesome to explain now. In short, the assassin left after assassinating his sister and Li Sen, and the rest of the witnesses were killed by Duyan and his comrades. ”
"What about wounds?" asked Rose, "presumably caused by a different weapon." ”
"They say that the enemy is constantly changing weapons. Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "In fact, everyone has a variety of wounds left on their bodies, so they must have wasted a lot of effort for this." ”
"I see. "And then?"
Then Du Yan and the others returned to the army to cry about it, and then, Du Yan went into battle with his wounds, and led the members of the city guard to repel the leopards, and while winning, he also lost nearly three-fifths of his troops. ”
"So, this is a conspiracy against the control of the City Guards?" said this, Rose's expression was a little strange.
