Chapter 298: Assassination
Not far away there was a door where wooden crates of water would be dropped, and the slaves on guard would take out the clay pots filled with water and put them in the storage area for the slavers to enjoy.
Su Gu glanced over there, he didn't feel that it was inappropriate, and he felt that his behavior was a little cringe, and he was quite embarrassed, but the thorn in his heart was stabbed again, so he chose to avoid that side and take a detour.
If there is no accident afterwards, the three of Yanjiao, you wait! Su Gu scolded in his heart.
Wu Shi, who was following behind Su Gu, didn't know what the young master was thinking at the moment, but just followed slowly. But as he walked, a chill suddenly rose in Wushi's heart, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up instantly.
"Young master!"
Su Gu was walking, only to hear Wushi scream, and then, he was picked up. All you can see is the scenery of fast retreat.
Boom!
The large wooden box that was originally carried exploded.
Scattered splashes of water and pottery shards whizzed past Sugu's ears and struck the surrounding wooden walls with a "pop" sound like a dense stream of arrows.
As the wooden box exploded, the water splashed and the pottery scattered, and three figures rushed out of it.
A person who used to be like the bark of a flattened tree doubled when it was rushed out. Unlike ordinary slaves, they do not see any slave prints associated with slave owners on their bodies, and they do not have tattoos on their faces.
These are specially trained slaves for assassination and assassination, just like the dead, they don't plan to leave when they come, and they focus on their targets. And their purpose should be to storm the palace and assassinate the biggest slave owner in the city, the deciduous king Suren.
The surrounding slaves shouted, and the beastly roars of the assassins.
From calm to slaughter, the air was filled with a suffocating aura of killing, for a moment. Bloody.
Sugu was carried away from the battlefield, and out of his eyes he caught a glimpse of a stream of red and white liquid spurting from not far away, the sound of bones shattering, and a scream that stopped abruptly.
Bang -
Shortly after Sugu left, several figures were knocked away by the ferocious force and slammed into the wooden wall. In an instant, it pierced through the wooden wall of Sugutong Guò just now, and the person who was knocked into the air and fell to the ground through the wall had his body twisted, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. These are the slaves who guarded the palace in Deciduous City.
The trunk of the Sunset Tree is much stronger than that of ordinary trees, and the older the year, the more solid the tree will be. The slave owners in the city sometimes used sunset trees to make swords, spears, arrows, etc., and the tribesmen came and went. In particular, the tribesmen, who like to use arrows, will also give a lot of items in exchange for the Sunset Tree.
Many of the timbers used in the palace are sunset trees that are more than a hundred years old, and those hard wooden walls, even if they are not as good as stone walls, are enough to block ordinary slaves, but at this time, Su Gu only heard the sound of breaking walls. The hardest tree in the desert, which is usually called the hardest, is so vulnerable at this time.
Wushi carried Sugu. As I moved away from the battlefield, there were still sounds of fighting.
When he was at the edge of the palace, Wushi stopped to rest, he had a lot of wounds on his back, but fortunately it was not fatal, and he escaped quickly. The danger is over for the time being. However, if he had gotten any closer, he might not have had time to dodge.
Luckily, he would have followed in the footsteps of the former slave. Wushi thought to himself.
Look at the young master who was carried here, Wushi found it. There is something wrong with this young master's state, his eyes are only staring ahead, his gaze is unfocused, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
Is this scared silly?
Although this time it is indeed a bit more dangerous, this kind of assassination happens every year, and as a competitor for the king, the courage should not be so small.
"Young master?" Wu Shi said tentatively.
Sugu didn't answer.
"Three young masters?" Wu Shi raised his voice.
Su Gu still didn't catch up.
"Third Young Master, are you okay?" Wu Shi stretched out his hand and poked him.
Su Gu, who was immersed in thought, almost jumped up in shock.
"Third Young Master, are you alright?" Wu Shi asked again.
"I didn't ...... Not...... It's okay!" Su Gu's voice trembled a little.
Are you really scared and stupid?
Ignoring Wushi, Su Gu listened carefully to the movement over there, and after the other side slowly calmed down, Su Gu said, "Go over and have a look." ”
Distinguishing the voice over there, Wu Shi knew that it was temporarily dealt with, but he didn't know if there were other unknown assassins, but at this time, the young master said that he wanted to go over, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only protect it and go there.
Red blood was conspicuous around the cracked wooden walls, and dead slaves were being dragged away.
Where it collapsed, there were also slaves cleaning up.
Sugu saw a man who had fallen to the ground, not a slave from Fallen Leaf City, but an assassin.
Motioning for Wushi to remove the sawdust covering the top, Sugu took a closer look at the dead assassin.
The assassin suffered multiple injuries on his body, and all of them were piercing wounds and stabbed with sharp weapons, but even with such injuries, he persevered for a while, and his vitality was much stronger than that of ordinary slaves.
On their hands, the black raised phalanges seemed to have been quenched with poisonous blades, shining with the light of the cold.
There is no special mark on the body, and it is not possible to tell which city it is.
These people are usually so well hidden that it is difficult to detect their aura, otherwise they would not have been carried here from the oasis all the time.
This was specially trained for assassination slaves, who were carefully trained from an early age until they were sent on a mission. Their whole life is for an assassination. Such a slave is extremely dangerous, and it is also a sharp butcher's knife in the hands of the big slave owners.
The competition between the big slave owners, in addition to a few desert battles on the surface from time to time, there is also a steady stream of assassinations and assassinations. Su Gu knew that his father also had him, but no one had ever seen him, including Su Gu himself and the other two brothers.
"Third young master?" a slave walked over. He was ordered by the king to come over to clean up the post-war affairs, but what are the three young masters doing standing here?
Su Gu withdrew his gaze from the slave, waved his hand, and motioned for the slaves who came to clean up the battlefield to continue, and after listening to the slaves who cleaned up the battlefield, he turned to leave.
Twenty-three slaves, nine slaves, fourteen servants, and the twelve men who came in carrying the wooden boxes all died, and the fifteen slaves who were guarding at the gate died, and ten of the slaves who came over died, and those who were wounded, and those who were wounded, were estimated to die in a short time, and the number of dead would eventually exceed thirty, or even forty......
If you hadn't taken a detour at that time, but had passed by that side, would you have been on the death list?
Su Gu recalled what the person named Shao Xuan from the Yanjiao tribe said, by chance, or did he receive the news in the first place?
The more I thought about it, the more chaotic I became, I couldn't stand anymore, Su Gu was originally walking towards the place where he lived, but now he turned directly and ran towards the exit of the palace.
Wu Shi, who was following behind, saw that the young master suddenly turned to run, thought about it, and continued to follow.
So, the slaves of Fallen Leaf City that day saw the third young master rushing into the tribal area in the morning, and after coming out with a cold face, they saw him enter in a hurry. (To be continued......)
