Chapter 22: An Inexplicable Assassination

"Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festive season. The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the Double Ninth Festival is approaching, brother, your poem is too good. Zhao Ren only felt that Zhao Yi had expressed the mood he had been trying to express all these years. "Feeling it, feeling it!" Zhao Yi's little face was rarely red, he hadn't seen his parents for nearly half a year, and he was a little homesick, so this poem popped up in his mind.

Zhang Fei was also aroused by this poem, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked his head in: "Little prince, can you allow me to take a few days off after I go back, I want to go back to see my younger brothers and sisters!" Zhao Yi suddenly remembered that he had heard that Zhang Fei had a pair of younger siblings, and he thought that Zhang Fei had contributed a lot after following him in the saddle for most of the year, so he smiled: "If you take them to Maple Leaf City, you can also take care of them nearby, haven't you also received a lot of rewards recently?" Zhang Fei suddenly realized that now he seemed to be worth a lot of money, so he hurriedly confessed his guilt and nodded yes.

Zhao Yi asked again: "Hasn't that Xu Hu left yet?" Zhang Fei looked back at Xu Hu who was following the team, and saw that in addition to the deep desire in his eyes, he also had a perseverance that would not give up, and said a little more seriously: "Since he saw me make Tai Chi swordsmanship, he wanted to learn from me, but he didn't dare to teach it casually without the permission of the little prince." ”

"The sword is dead, but the man is alive. No matter how powerful the swordsmanship is, it won't be of much use if you can't use it. What is his origin?" Zhao Yi asked lightly. "It's from Qinglan Academy, if it's convenient, let's give him some advice, I heard that he is a genius disciple of Qinglan Academy, and making friends will also be beneficial to our Zhao Wangfu." Zhao Ren obviously thought about it for the long term and began to help Xu Hu intercede.

"Since my brother has said it, of course it is convenient to teach him a few tricks. Speaking of this, Zhao Yi seemed to think of something again, and turned his head to look at Zhang Fei: "Zhang Fei, you call him over." ”

Soon, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a scumbag beard ran over in surprise. Zhao Yi saw that he was holding a long sword, although he was unkempt, the long sword was very clean, and he knew that this was indeed a person who loved swords. He laughed twice: "Your name is Xu Hu?"

Xu Hu didn't understand why the little prince asked him like this, but he knew from Zhang Fei that only with the consent of the little prince could he have the opportunity to learn that powerful swordsmanship, so he had to answer honestly yes. Then he said excitedly: "As long as you teach me swordsmanship, I am willing to pay any price." ”

"Any price, including freedom?" Zhao Yi said word by word as he stared at Xu Hu with burning eyes. "This..."Xu Hu knows that sincerity is the sword, and he can be extremely good at the sword. Without freedom, there is no sincerity in the sword. Thinking of this, he was silent, the excitement in his eyes suddenly faded, and then he turned around and was about to leave.

"Don't you want to learn swordsmanship?" Zhao Yi saw him pause, showing a hint of struggle, but he was about to step away again. stopped teasing him: "Otherwise, I will teach you swordsmanship, and you will come to protect my brother for five years, and help my brother do something if it is convenient during this period, and if it is inconvenient, you can not do it, and when the time comes, you can leave on your own." ”

In five years, in exchange for a peerless swordsmanship, you can also play with masters and sharpen yourself. There is also this kind of good thing, and the hope in Xu Hu's eyes flashed again. "Really, it's just five years to keep the eldest prince safe, and I won't be restricted in my freedom?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Hu immediately agreed, and it would be a fool not to agree.

Zhao Yi said to the group of shadow guards again: "You should also come together, the front will be taught by Zhang Fei, and I can also guide you when I have time." When the shadow guards heard this, they were also overjoyed, who wouldn't want to learn more to save their lives. At that time, seeing Zhang Fei defeat Xu Hu in a chic manner, everyone was envious. At this time, it can be regarded as a wish.

The rest of the days stopped and stopped, during which Zhang Fei taught the one-style Tai Chi sword to the conference, and the rest of the time he hurried while letting everyone understand it carefully. Just as he was passing by a small forest, Zhao Yi frowned: "There is a murderous aura!" and immediately ordered Zhang Fei and the others to be careful.

Zhang Fei also found out that there was a situation at this time, the woods were so quiet that there was not even a single bird around. After a few months of battlefield experience, his body would also have a slight reaction to danger, and at this time, he trembled, turned his head sideways, and saw several cold arrows flying from the forest.

Zhang Fei put aside the two cold arrows that shot at the carriage and shouted softly: "Protect the prince." Eichi and the others also reacted, and formed a circle to protect the carriage. Fortunately, everyone has braked the Tai Chi Sword with static in the past few days, and the essence of the last to come first has been comprehended a few points, and it is not too panicked to deal with it at this time.

The eldest Ying Yi, his beard trembled, and he shouted: "The rat who hides his head and tail, can you know who is in the carriage? Aren't you afraid of destroying the Nine Clans?" As soon as Ying saw that he had arrived in the territory of Zhao State, he opened his mouth to threaten with this. I hope the other party will take care of it. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw seven men in black flash out of the forest. One of the people shouted coldly: "Kill!" and several people rushed towards the carriage.

Xu Hu saw that Zhang Fei, Ying Wei and the others had already stepped forward to face the enemy, and he no longer hesitated, thinking that he could just check what he had learned in the past few days and meet a black-clothed killer at the moment. Seven against seven, it was inseparable for a while, obviously both sides did not expect the strength of the other party, and it was beyond their imagination. The black-clothed killer saw that dozens of moves had passed, and he hadn't even taken down a guard, so he had the idea of retreating, but the other party was really sticky too tight, but it was difficult to withdraw for a while, so he had to continue to fight, but there was a look of anxiety on his face.

"Poof~" The black-clothed leader who was fighting Zhang Fei suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he didn't know when a dagger was inserted in his heart. Puzzled, he seemed to hear a soft voice in his ears: "Scholars engage in assassination, you haven't learned yet, I am the ancestor of the killer." He fell down in an instant.

Zhang Fei was sharp-eyed, and just saw that the little prince got into the carriage after sneaking up on the black-clothed leader, but why was his smile so weird when he looked at him?

As soon as the most powerful black-clothed leader died, with Zhang Fei's support, several other black-clothed killers could no longer support it, and were soon killed by Zhang Fei and two people were captured alive. Zhang Fei was about to ask, but the voice of the little prince Zhao Yi came from his ears: "Check if there is poison in their mouths, don't let them commit suicide." ”

Not to mention that it is really poisonous, it is disguised as a tooth and put in the mouth. Eichi looked at it and said, "This thing is highly poisonous, and it will kill you if you touch it." They put it in their mouths, and they can bite it with their tongues, and they are good fellows who kill their mouths. Zhao Ren walked out and took Ying Yi's words: "These people are not only strong in martial arts, but they are also so ruthless to themselves, what are they all about?"

Zhang Fei stepped forward and kicked twice, and said fiercely: "The eldest prince asked you something, hurry up and reply." The two living killers were silent, ignoring his words. Zhang Fei snorted and had no choice but to retreat. Keichi stepped forward again and tortured him, saying, "It's better to be honest, and it's better to suffer less." But the two black-clothed killers snorted and continued to pretend to be dumb.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid that you won't explain, cramping and peeling are just small means, do you know if you light the sky lantern? It is to make a small hole in your head, and then put in the wick, and burn it until the blood flows clean, do you want to try it?" Seeing that the little prince was smiling, but saying demonic words, the shadow guard and the others were all tense, thinking that they couldn't make the little prince angry, or if they would do an experiment on themselves one day, the result would ...... I shook again.

The two black-clothed killers were also taken aback, and then their eyes showed fanaticism, and they chanted wildly together: "The sky has no eyes, life is unfair, and geniuses will die!" Slowly, the eyeballs bulged out, and a trace of blood oozed out of the seven orifices, and his legs kicked and died.

Zhang Fei asked puzzledly: "Didn't you find out all the poison, how could you still die, isn't this clue broken?" The crowd was puzzled. Zhao Yi looked at the two dead people, and said with a hint of admiration: "What a strong perseverance, it's a pity!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he had to explain: "Everyone knows that only those who breathe are considered alive, and they have been controlling their mouths and noses not to breathe, and they have been holding their breath and dying." Even if ordinary people can do it themselves, the body's instinct will make it breathe automatically, unless it is blocked by something, and they actually defeat the body's instinct under normal conditions, I can't help but admire!"

Everyone was impressed for a while, Zhang Fei searched for a while, but did not find anything useful from them, so he obeyed Zhao Yi's orders, dug a big pit with several shadow guards, and buried several black-clothed killers. "A master should be treated like a master, not to mention that this is not half of his peers, so he won't let you be in the wilderness. Zhao Yi was groaning, but Xu Hu suddenly said: "Two princes, I'm afraid we're going to get into trouble!"
