Chapter 5: The Assassins

Out of the Lianpo Mansion, the night is already very deep, there are clouds on it, the clouds move between the ground from time to time to cause the earth to be dark and uncertain, when the king leaves the mansion, a heavy entourage of iron guards are standing on the left side of the Lianpo Mansion lined up and waited.

Torches were burning on the side, and in the midst of the blazing fire, a group of soldiers who had entered the gate stood there in such a posture without making the slightest sound, and the sergeants guarding the gate with Lian Po looked at them strangely from time to time, but there was nothing else in the strangeness, and there was a little more curiosity and recognition.

"Uzo, prepare the carriage and horses, let's go back."

Wang Lifu was out of the mansion, looked at the group of iron guards bowed slightly, and then ordered, with an order, the queue quickly disbanded, went to the place where the horses were parked on the side, untied the horses from the stakes, and quickly prepared for the return.

"Let's go!" In the darkness, the guards in front of and behind the queue lit their torches, and the sound of a long whip hitting the wheels came out, and the carriage moved slowly, and the knights crowded around the left and right, all the way to the dust, and went quickly.

The driving in the dark night is not fast, Wang Li sat quietly in the car and thought about what to deal with today's entry into Lian Po's mansion, with a smile on his face from time to time.

And he didn't expect that today's trip would create a grandmaster for Zhao Guoshengsheng.

"Wu Zhuo, you stay outside the Lian Prime Minister's Mansion and wait, are you hungry now?" The carriage was moving slowly, and Wang Li suddenly asked left and right.

"Master, we're not hungry." Uzo, who rode alongside the carriage, responded.

"Ha Luha, this master is hungry, can you stand outside without being hungry?" Wang Li said with a smile: "To live a life, to live a wonderful life, not for anything else, but to fight for a breath, out of a breath, today you fought for me for a breath, later back to the house, I should personally feast you, today is not drunk and homeless." ”

The silence of the night, except for the sound of carriages and horses, Wang Li spoke very loudly, and before the words fell, the accompanying Wujia guards all let out joyful cries.

After the cheers passed, Wu Zhuo asked in surprise: "The Taishi entered the mansion of Lian Xiang today, and Jing came out hungry, is it possible that Lian Xiangjing is so hospitable?" ”

"Not really." Wang Li said categorically: "It's just that the conversation is too deed, and I only drank some wine when I spoke, and when I left, I found that the other food had not been moved, and I walked, the road in Handan is also so wide, let's go back quickly." ”

With Wang Li's command, the speed of the carriage and horse increased slightly.

In the dark night, Handan has begun to curfew, and there are soldiers guarding the entrances and exits of various streets and markets, but now Wang Li's identity is unknown in Handan, and now their top boss of the city guards, General Lecheng, has taken refuge in Wang Li, and Wang Li's return journey is unimpeded.

The carriage and horse passed through several main streets in the center of Handan, and gradually passed to the south of the city, and when the carriage and horse passed by a house, there was a sudden shouting and shouting in the courtyard on the side, and there was the sound of swords clashing.

"What sound?" Hearing this voice, the guards accompanying him suddenly became nervous.

"Stop the carriage, this family has an accident in the house, and see what is going on, what can help." Wang Li's perception was so keen, and his voice was clear, and he hurriedly commanded Wu Zhuo on the side.

After receiving the order, the carriage and horse slowly slowed down, and at this time, as the carriage and horse got closer and closer to the mansion, the movement in the mansion became louder and louder.

The carriage and horse slowed down, and the group entered and stopped at the gate of this house, when suddenly on both sides of the road, against the wall of this house, there was a sound, and suddenly a person dressed in gray came out of the wall, and fell straight out of the wall.

"Protect the Taishi!" The iron guards had also heard it clearly, seeing that this escape from the courtyard of the house was dressed like this, and who was it not the assassin who entered, and with a sound of protection from the Taishi, the iron guards guarded while beating horses and headed towards the entrance from all directions.

The gray clothes only climbed out of the wall, since the escape of the time who never thought that there would be such a battle outside the courtyard, only to see that as soon as he landed, his body staggered and did not stand firm, watching the iron guards beating the horses, and hurriedly fled to the side.

Just look at him faltering, one step at a time, running quite fast, but it is extremely difficult, at first glance, the assassination failed, wounded, how can he outrun the iron guards on horseback, the iron guards surrounded him in all directions, and surrounded him in the middle in a few breaths, and he was about to start.

"Stop, this is my friend, invite him to the carriage."

The Assassin saw a group of elite warriors rushing around, and at this time he was wounded again, and his movement was already inconvenient, and he was a little desperate for a while, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Zhu Tiewei was a little puzzled when he heard Wang Li's instructions, but he stopped on the 1st and just didn't move. Wu Zhuo quickly interjected, and said to the gray-clothed assassin: "My master asks Mr. to talk about it in the car." ”

"Whew! Call! The assassin breathed a sigh of relief, glanced in the direction of the carriage, and heard the louder and louder sounds in the courtyard of the house, and the light that kept burning, without the slightest hesitation, staggered straight in the direction of the carriage, and the guards followed closely behind, staring at him vigilantly.

"Get in the car." In front of the carriage, Wang Li shouted slightly, and the assassin glanced at Wang Li, put his hand on the wheel of the carriage, and his body shrank violently, and he fell on the carriage.

As soon as the assassins got into the carriage, the gate of the house not far away opened, and then dozens of entrances poured out like opening the floodgates, and each one with sharp blades and torches came in this direction, and some of them rode horses, and ran to the front of the group in a few breaths.

"Taishi!" Seeing the thousand guards swarming in the courtyard, Udra shouted quietly, as if asking what to do.

"What is the crime of the common people who collided and attacked the frame of the minister's doctor?" Listening to Wu Zhuo's inquiry-like voice, Wang Li glanced slightly ahead and said coldly to Wu Zhuo.

Wang Li has been in Handan for a long time, and he is also familiar with the urban area of Handan, in this city, in order to facilitate management, what status level each enters, and the residential areas where he lives are strictly divided.

It seems that the ordinary ministers and doctors in Handan City, if there is no mansion such as the Ma Fu Mansion inherited by Wang Li, they usually live in the corresponding area according to this division.

And this area in the south of the city is the area where merchants in Handan City and merchants from other places live, and those who live here, even if the house is large, their identity is limited.

Without the entry of identity, if you dare to ram the frame of the minister's doctor in the dark night, it can be treated as an attack and assassination, even if there is a misunderstanding, killing him on the spot is also a legitimate defense.

At this time, hearing Wang Li's cold words, Wu Zhuo immediately understood: "Get up." ”

The carriage stopped slightly, and at this time began to move slowly again, on the carriage, the assassin listened to Wang Li's words and glanced at him in slight surprise: "The master doesn't ask me any reason?" ”

"Although I'm a little curious, but everyone has their own secrets, I respect your secrets, if you want to say it, I'll listen, if you don't want to say it, it's okay."

"Taishi is interesting, aren't you afraid that I will cause you big trouble?"

"Big trouble, not to mention this Handan, even this Kyushu, what trouble can stump me?" Wang Li smiled and said: "You can relax, today you got into my carriage, no matter what your identity is, you are absolutely safe in this Handan City, and there is nothing to embarrass you." ”

Listening to Wang Li's words, the assassin was speechless, and now if Handan enters, who doesn't know how the prince of the dynasty is now: "Then thank you for saving the prince." ”

The vehicle slowed down, and the people who chased them out of the house approached the convoy, and a horse chasing after them suddenly pressed the horse. "Stop."

He raised his hand and shouted to the rear, seeing that he was wearing a long sword hanging from his waist, and a horse to ride, his status was obviously not low, and the group of guards and warriors who chased him out of the mansion stopped listening to it.

After such a drink, the horse leaned on the side of the road, and then got off the horse and bowed to this side from a distance, and then asked loudly: "I don't know which big entry frame is in front, Xiang Shen, the president of the Chu National Pavilion, will be polite." ”

Listening to the inquiry, Uzhuo had already been instructed, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, and the carriage and horse slowly accelerated.

"I don't know which one is in front of the frame, and the president of the Chu Embassy, Xiang Shen's family, will Hou Sheng be polite?" There was no movement in the questioning, so he immediately saluted again and asked again.

Asked again, there was no answer, the vehicle continued to move forward, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the group that chased out with the entry suddenly had some commotion, but none of them dared to move, and they all quickly gave way to the road.

In Handan City, the people who can enjoy the three horses are all doctors and above, and they are the ruling core class of Zhao State, how dare they have any offense? In this dark night, one is not good, there is a misunderstanding, and it is all for nothing to be killed.

Without the slightest stop, Wang Li's carriage and a group of iron guards quickly threw the Chu Congress Pavilion into the boundless night.

"Okay, Master Wang, thank you for saving me tonight, Zhao Shan will definitely remember today's grace, so stop here."

Not far from the Chu National Assembly Pavilion, the assassin said directly to Wang Li, under the light of the fire around the carriage, it seemed that he was not the same young man who shot Wang Li when he was assassinated in the street that day, or who was it?

"You're going to get out of the car at this point?" Wang Li looked at him: "You have two sword wounds on your body, one is shallow and there is no major problem, but the other is a vital injury. ”

"I see that although you have temporarily suppressed the injury by some special means, but these measures are only expedient, and they must be supplemented with drugs and other means of treatment as soon as possible, otherwise the time will drag on for a long time, and the consequences will be unimaginable?"

"And in addition to this, when you tumbled off the courtyard wall just now, you obviously didn't think that I would pass by outside, and under the slight startle, the landing was unstable, and obviously sprained your muscles and bones."

"At this time, Handan is under curfew, you are unable to move, and you have such a serious injury, I let you get out of the car, you still want to rely on such a body to bypass the curfew, but also have to travel a long way, this doesn't let you die?"

"Let's move the carriage faster." After that, Wang Lizhi said to the coachman in front, and then ordered left and right. "Wuzhuo, pass the order, no one can say anything about today's events."

"No!" A group of iron guards were ordered to obey the promise.
