Chapter 178: Hu Yaozong is assassinated

Hu Yaozong personally brought his fleet to the vicinity of the capital.

The boat was originally in charge of Hu Shunzi, but this time Hu Yaozong came with the boat in person, and Hu Shunzi muttered a little in his heart.

It's not that Hu Yaozong doesn't trust him, but that he's worried that something will go wrong with the cargo.

Although their ships are full of snacks, a whole ship of snacks is also very valuable.

Thinking about it, Hu Shunzi came to Hu Yaozong's side, "Big brother, this cargo ...... Is there something wrong? Did you get any news? ”

Hu Yaozong smiled, "That's not it, I came to the capital this time to do something else." ”

Hu Shunzi was relieved at this time, he was obviously relieved, raised his hand and scratched his head, "I thought we were being targeted, and this road didn't frighten me." ”

"Our Jin Zhaoguo is very safe, rest assured." Hu Yaozong patted Hu Shunzi on the shoulder.

The ship has traveled to the vicinity of the capital, stopped the ship to unload, and Hu Yaozong also disembarked.

"Big brother, are you going to run errands? Do you want the brothers to wait for you? Hu Shunzi asked hurriedly.

Hu Yaozong shook his head, "You continue to enter Beijing, wait for me here when you turn back, and I will ask someone to wait for you here when the time comes." ”

Whether to go back or not is not up to Hu Yaozong himself.

And Hu Yaozong had a hunch in his heart that Qiao Wanshi personally sent a letter to ask him to come, there should be something very important, maybe it was a new business.

Hu Yaozong only took one person out of the fleet, and the two of them rode two horses to Yancheng.

It's just that there are still thirty miles away from Yancheng, passing by a small forest, and suddenly a group of black-clothed people flew from all around.

Hu Yaozong was shocked, subconsciously reined in the reins of the horse, and the entourage was directly stupid, and the whole person fell off the horse.

The man in black moved very neatly, and with a sword, he went straight to Hu Yaozong's heart.

Hu Yaozong was so frightened that he couldn't do it, but fortunately he wasn't stunned, and rolled off the horse.

That little bit of skill is useless in front of the black-clothed man who specializes in assassination, only dodge, and has no power to resist.

was chased and ran, and Hu Yaozong soon saw blood on his body, and the entourage who came with him had already died under the sword of the man in black.

Hu Yaozong thought as he fled, is he going to be buried in this grove today?

At this moment, a sword stabbed down, Hu Yaozong's body was crooked when he fled, and the sword pierced straight into his shoulder, passing through the front, and Hu Yaozong's entire left arm was instantly useless.

He struggled to turn around, looking at the men in black in horror.

"You...... Who sent you? If you rob money, take the silver from me......

Before he finished speaking, the black-clothed man's sword was withdrawn at once, and Hu Yaozong's whole person immediately fell to the ground.

Those people are either robbing money or asking for his life!

And people didn't talk much nonsense with him at all, and the withdrawn sword stabbed out again, this time directly to Hu Yaozong's heart.

Hu Yaozong's right hand moved slightly, and a sleeve arrow swished out.

The distance between the two sides was very close, and this hidden arrow directly pierced the heart of the man in black on the opposite side, and the sword was only a few inches away from piercing Hu Yaozong's heart.

Previously, Hu Yaozong didn't dare to use Hidden Arrows against these people, because he knew that he was not the opponent of these people, and once he used Hidden Arrows, his martial arts were strong, and he might not be able to shoot them.

Being dodged only further aroused the determination of the man in black to kill him.

And now, he had to use the Hidden Arrow, or he would die with this sword.

When the rest of the men in black saw that Hu Yaozong had killed their companions, they immediately approached.

They underestimated the enemy, because Hu Yaozong had no power to fight back before.

At this moment, Hu Yaozong suddenly released a smoke bomb.

The smoke was thick, and the surrounding area was instantly filled with white fog, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

The men in black didn't move, they were making their way.

Hu Yaozong also knew that these people were strong in martial arts, even if there were smoke and bullets, the man in black couldn't see where he was, but as long as he moved, those people could listen to the sound and defend the position, and then pierce him with a sword.

So Hu Yaozong didn't move, he just pulled the mechanism on the sleeve arrow and swished around in succession.

The Sleeve Arrow was given by Qiao Wanshi, and Qiao Wanshi was exchanged in the system mall to protect Hu Yaozong's fleet.

This kind of sleeve arrow is not like an ordinary sleeve arrow, it can be fired in bursts, a small sleeve arrow is equipped with twenty arrows, twenty consecutive shots, Hu Yaozong swept a circle.

After that, he could only resign himself to fate, standing still in place and still not daring to move, not daring to make any sound.

After a long time, the surrounding white fog gradually dissipated, Hu Yaozong tried to identify, there was no black figure around, but there seemed to be some black shadows on the ground, which should be the man in black who was killed by his sleeve arrow.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking the air came, and Hu Yaozong subconsciously raised his wrist and shot towards the source of the sound.

The muffled sound of the sleeve arrow piercing into the body was very close, and then Hu Yaozong saw the man in black who was close at hand.

And the opponent's sword had already pierced his left arm.

Originally, his left shoulder had been pierced by a sword, and now his arm had been stabbed with another sword, Hu Yaozong's left arm was really useless.

Fortunately, he left himself the last life-saving arrow when he fired a series of arrows.

Now that he only has one right arm, it is impossible for Hu Yaozong to install arrows for his sleeve arrows, and if there is another man in black attack, he will only have a dead end.

Luckily, he was lucky enough not to have the men in black attack again.

Enduring the pain in his arm, Hu Yaozong quickly checked the outfit of the man in black, the ordinary black night clothes, the sword without any markings, and he didn't find any iconic tattoos on their bodies.

Hu Yaozong didn't have time to check in more detail, he tore off the face towel of the man in black and pricked his shoulders and arms, barely stopped the bleeding, and then found his horse and climbed up with great difficulty, and rode his horse in the direction of Yancheng.

Thirty miles, Hu Yaozong walked hard, and when he arrived at the salt field on the edge of Yancheng, Hu Yaozong couldn't support it for a long time, and fell off his horse all of a sudden.

There were guards on the perimeter of the salt works, and when they saw a man covered in blood falling from his horse, someone immediately went to check on him.

Hu Yaozong took his last breath and muttered, "I...... It's the person from the county lord of Yifeng, who took me to meet ...... See ......"

His eyes were black, and Hu Yaozong completely fainted.

The guards of the salt field, you look at me, I look at you, and finally set up Hu Yaozong and went to the courtyard where Qiao Wanshi lived.

Qiao Wanshi was coming out of the courtyard with Sikong Fan at this time, and they went to see the progress of the salt farm, and when Hu Yaozong came over, Hu Yaozong would also be involved in transporting salt, and her interests must be guaranteed, and then they could set off for Haicheng, and the matter of refining well salt could be handed over to the two masters who had already learned, Qiao Wanshi and Jun Moyan's most important thing was to make sea salt.

It's just that Qiao Wanshi didn't expect that this meeting between her and Hu Yaozong would be opened in this way.
