Chapter 150: Assassination in the Lake

As mentioned last time, Liu Hou often said some big truths, some people will listen to these big truths, some people will be moved, and then they will surrender to Liu Hou, but some people will disdain these words, and even have the opposite effect.

These people have grown up to be # people, and they have experienced a lot of things, and they often have their own ability to discern things, and they are not so easy to coax. They will use their minds to analyze whether your words are true or false, and whether they are good or bad for themselves.

When Liu Hou surrendered, they would more often weigh and analyze whether it was more beneficial for them to surrender to you, or whether it would be better for them to continue to fight against you. In this era, although some people are very righteous, there are also many people who only talk about interests.

There are many things that defect to different lords for the sake of profit, and there are many people who help the new lord deal with the old lord just after surrendering. There are not many examples of generals like the Eastern Wu generals who have always refused to contribute to their homeland.

Zhou Xue is a relatively simple girl, oh, maybe she should be called a young woman, although she is indeed still a girl in terms of age. She was convinced of Liu Hou's words, which was one of the reasons why she agreed to marry Liu Hou. If she hadn't been coaxed by Liu Hou's set of big truths, with the relationship between the two countries, how could she have changed from a killer who assassinated Liu Hou to Liu Hou's lover.

After saying a big truth, Liu Hou plagiarized things such as "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun", "the water chestnut leaves linger in the lotus wind, and the boat passes through the lotus in the depths." Feng Lang bowed his head and smiled, and Biyu scratched his head and fell into the water. "Wait for Tang poems.

It's a pity that Zhou Xue is a savage girlfriend, since she was a child in the military camp, she is the head of martial arts and marching formations, and when it comes to poetry and songs, she is at most an entry-level level. The few Tang poems that Liu Hou found after searching his stomach and intestines are no different from playing the piano to the cow.

As a last resort, Liu Hou sang another song "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond":

Cut a period of time to flow slowly,

Flowing into the moonlight and rippling slightly,

Play a song of small lotus with a faint fragrance,

The beautiful sound of the piano fell beside me,

……

Music knows no boundaries, Zhou Xue obviously likes this melodic and catchy pop song very much, she squinted her eyes and leaned on Liu Hou, looking at the golden lake reflected by the sunset, revealing a very comfortable, satisfied and happy expression.

If it were a famous musician like Cai Wenji, he would definitely criticize this song with a strange melody, point out that it was inappropriate there, unreasonable there, and put forward a lot of revisions.

Just as the two of them were intoxicated with the beautiful scenery of this good day, Liu Hou suddenly felt his hairs stand on end, and a feeling of extreme danger came to his heart, and the corner of his eyes skimmed to the water in front of him.

At the last moment, he only had time to push Zhou Xue away from his arms. Just listen to "Whoosh! With a bang, a crossbow arrow pierced through the water and whistled from the bottom of the lake, and Liu Hou could see the crossbow arrow rushing out of the bottom of the lake to bring out a water line, just like a shining silver thread tied to the end of the arrow.

The crossbow arrow is too fast, Liu Hou is not the kind of superman who can use his hand to pick up the # bullet, nor is he the kind of non-human who can react in a few tenths of a second, of course, the point is that this is just a time-traveling novel, not a certain divine drama, and there is no supernatural power.

Therefore, without waiting for Liu Hou to react otherwise, he was inevitably shot in the chest by a crossbow arrow. Liu Hou had a crossbow arrow stuck in his chest, and he fell on his back on the boat. As mentioned earlier, Liu Hou is a cautious person and a person who is afraid of death, and he at least wears an inner armor when he goes out.

Although this crossbow arrow was stuck in his chest, it could not penetrate the well-made inner armor. This kind of inner armor, which represents the highest level of craftsmanship in Shu, has a good protective effect on the crossbow in the general army. Liu Hou looked like a wolf, but in fact he was only hurt in the chest by the impact of the crossbow arrow, but he was not injured at all.

Obviously, the sneak attacker was not worried about the efficacy of this crossbow arrow, Liu Hou still fell on his back and did not get up in the boat, and a man in black with a short sword jumped up on the left side of the boat. The man in black and the man in black who shot the crossbow arrows were apparently lurking under the water in advance, possibly using a reed rod in his mouth for ventilation, or using some other method.

In short, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and it is not very difficult for these professional killers to hide underwater for a long time.

Like a carp about to jump over the dragon gate, the man in black jumped out of the water from the bottom of the water, jumped above the boat, and a blue short sword pierced Liu Houmian's door.

Liu Hou's hand has reached into his arms, holding his baby left # revolver # gun, but the assassin's movements are too fast, the key is that the timing of his jump is too good, too sudden, it is obvious that he and the person who shoots the crossbow arrow must have cooperated many times, Liu Hou, who had just been hit by the arrow, was half a beat slower in his thinking under the sudden blow of the crossbow arrow, and he had no time to react to this assassin.

Seeing that the short sword, which was probably quenched and looked blue, was about to stab Liu Hou, a paddle suddenly swept over, slapping the assassin's short sword away, and the oar was also smashed under the strong force. It turned out that Zhou Xue reacted, she deserved to be a person who practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she was also trained in assassination, so she was very experienced in this area.

As a result, she reacted faster than Liu Hou, slapping the Assassin's short sword with the oars of the rowing boat. After all, the leaping assassin could not stay in the air for a long time, he fell heavily on the side of the ship under the effect of gravity, the lower half of his body was soaked in the water, and the upper body was lying on the boat, and the boat was pressed by him, and it shook violently, and almost capsized the boat.

But now is the time of life and death, and the two and a half people on the ship, no one cares about this, and they all want to subdue the enemy as quickly as possible. Zhou Xue flapped the assassin's short sword, and the oar in her own hand was also smashed, and at this time she was throwing down the half of the oar, looking for the other oar.

The black-clothed killer pressed one hand on the side of the ship, and the other hand was also put into his arms, obviously with other weapons in his arms, and now he wanted to find out and continue to commit murder.

At this time, it became Liu Hou's fastest progress, just now he was already touching the left # Wheeler # gun, and now he finally pulled out the weapon one step ahead of the two. I saw that he quickly opened the safety of the left # rounder # gun and fired three shots at the killer in a row.

As soon as the killer drew a dagger and was about to stab Liu Hou again, he felt three strong forces crashing into his body one after another, he was knocked out of the boat, poured back into the water, and never got up again, and soon, a bright red was visible to the naked eye spreading in the lake.

The boat shook violently because of the killer's departure, and Liu Hou had no choice but to continue to lie down on his back, grabbing the ship's side with one hand and holding the life-saving baby's left # wheeler # gun with the other.

Zhou Xue also got down and lowered her center of gravity as much as possible to prevent herself from being thrown out of the boat. No one applied external force, and the boat gradually slowed down the shaking amplitude, but before the boat could completely stabilize itself, it began to shake violently again.

No one is rocking the boat on board, so why would the boat rock on its own? Almost instantly, Liu Hou and Zhou Xue both thought of the answer: someone was shaking the boat at the bottom of the boat, trying to overturn the boat and assassinate Liu Hou again underwater.

Liu Hou and Zhou Xue had a tacit understanding, and the two quickly lay on the side of the boat to check the bottom of the boat. The people who do tricks on the bottom of the boat also have to grab the sides of the bottom of the boat with their hands, and take turns to shake the boat from side to side.

Even so, it was very laborious to shake the boat under the water, so the boat had not been shaken by him for the time being, and he needed to constantly exert force and keep shaking it, so that the shaking amplitude of the boat gradually increased, and finally exceeded its bearing range, so that it was possible to overturn this small boat, which was not very large.

Fortunately, the water of the lake was relatively clear, and Liu Hou soon found that one hand was about four inches below the waterline of the boat. Without hesitation, Liu Hou fired three more shots at that place, and the hand sank as he wished, and not long after, another blood flower appeared under the water.

Liu Hou quickly threw out the revolver of the left # router# gun, poured out the empty bullet case, pulled out a new sub# bullet from his belt and stuffed it into the hole of the revolver. The outside of his belt looks no different from an ordinary belt, but in fact, the inner layer is also the kind of cowboy #elastic belt, a small bag sewn with cowhide #bullet size filled with yellow, orange and orange child#bullets.

When Liu Hou was engrossed in the loading of the #bomb, "Whoosh! A crossbow arrow pierced through the water again, shooting from the bottom of the lake, it seems that the underwater crossbowman just now shot again, this time the crossbow arrow was aimed at Liu Hou's face door, obviously the crossbowman saw that he had shot Liu Hou in the chest just now, but Liu Hou didn't do anything at all, he also guessed that Liu Hou must be wearing inner armor.

Liu Hou, who was loading the # bullet, had no time to dodge, and the crossbow arrow was about to hit Liu Hou's face, ending the life journey of the little emperor who was determined to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

Just listen to "Poof! With a bang, Zhou Xue was hit by an arrow in the back, and the person was carried forward by the impact of the crossbow arrow, threw himself into Liu Hou's arms, and gave him a warm hug.

It's a pity that now is not the time to make out, Liu Hou quickly closed the wheel, fired six shots at the lake where the crossbow bolts came from, quickly emptied the left # wheel # gun, and then quickly reversed the bullet casing, and reloaded the # bullet, he didn't have time to see the results of his round of shooting.

He didn't have time to watch, Zhou Xue had it, and Zhou Xue was also wearing inner armor, which was strongly requested by Liu Hou, at first Zhou Xue refused to wear it, probably she didn't like to add special effects like her eldest brother. However, Liu Hou has always been timid and afraid of death, and he threatened her not to take her out to play if she didn't wear the inner armor, so Zhou Xue reluctantly put on the inner armor.

Now with a sound of duang, the inner armor saved her life, Liu Hou secretly congratulated himself that he had created a set of women's inner armor for each queen, and these things were the straw that saved her life at a critical time.

Zhou Xue didn't care about the crossbow bolt stuck in her back, she pulled out a short sword from her arms, and looked at the surrounding lake vigilantly. The person who also carried a short sword when he played with the emperor, it is estimated that there is no second person in this world besides her.

This is not only related to her character, but also related to Liu Hou's tolerance and laissez-faire towards the three queens, otherwise who would dare to do this? Or to put it another way, when people approach the emperor, they have to be searched to make sure they are not armed.

Zhou Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw a larger and bigger blood flower rising on the lake in front of the boat, which showed that the crossbowmen at the bottom of the lake who posed the greatest threat to them were also killed by Liu Hou's random shot just now.
