The chariots and horses had already been prepared, and Liu Zhu did not delay, and led more than 100 people from the house to set up a team at the gate of the house, and the coffin was also carried out and was pressed in the middle of the team.

"Driving Langzhong" understood at a glance that in addition to the person carrying the coffin, there were some good hands standing in various positions in the front and back, left and right, which were obviously used as guards.

He was vaguely curious, but he didn't necessarily have to be punctured at this time. After they set off, they would present the detailed situation to His Highness in a secret letter, and they would naturally deal with it on the way or when they arrived in Lianzhou.

Of course, there are other reasons for this, he has lost a lot of manpower in one day in Tongcheng, and all extraneous things can be avoided, so don't delay serious matters.

But just as everyone was making preparations, another subordinate came down to report, saying that when they had just assembled, they found that one of the people who was going to follow Liu Zhu back to Lianzhou had lost his trace.

"When did you go missing?"

The subordinate replied: "When he got up this morning, he said that he was going to buy some water, wine, and dried meat, and prepare it for consumption on the road." The commander was not there when he made orders at the post house, and he had not yet returned. ”

"Driving Langzhong" scolded in a low voice and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

The subordinate hurriedly replied: "I originally wanted to report to the commander that he knew, but then those people in the post house made trouble, and we were afraid that the commander would not have time to take care of it, thinking that he should come back before he left, but..."

With the eight people in front of him, as soon as the "driving department Langzhong" heard this, he knew that this person was estimated to be more auspicious, and scolded "get out", so he also put it aside for the time being, and just thought about sending Liu Zhi out of the city as soon as possible, so that he could concentrate on dealing with this matter.

In less than a moment, the people who should set off were ready to stop, and the twelve people who were originally pressing the team were not able to make any further changes, so they could only make a mistake for the time being. "Driving Langzhong" himself turned over and wanted to walk with them to the south city gate.

Just as he was about to shout "go", he suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the Taishou Mansion and on the high walls near the surrounding area. As soon as he changed the word "departure" to "alert" and shouted loudly, more than a dozen sharp arrows shot from a distance.

More than a dozen arrows were all shot at the people in the team arranged in the "driving department", these people were good hands, and they were guarded, but one person was still shot in the throat and lost his life on the spot.

This change caught everyone present off guard, and they heard a scream coming from the side of the killer, and shouts such as "murder" and "assassin" rang out one after another.

The procession was in disarray, and people scattered everywhere.

Those who were close to the gate of the house hurriedly rushed into the house, and the people in the distance were in groups of threes and twos, and they found the root of the wall and the tree to hide separately, but they couldn't find cover and had to run left and right, and the horses were also frightened, which made the situation more urgent and panicked.

On the contrary, the "driving department Langzhong" was not chaotic, first let Liu Zhu stabilize the family in the house, and then led people to the assassin's hiding place to kill.

This series of actions lasted only a moment, but before he could actually act, more than a dozen assassins turned out from all directions and went straight to the coffin in the middle of the team.

Only then did the "Driver Langzhong" notice that although the situation had just changed abruptly, those who were guarding the coffin did not move an inch, still carefully guarded.

The Assassins were all very good at what they were, and the division of labor was clear, the first few dragged the guards, and the last few had to split open the coffin, I don't know if they wanted to snatch the corpses inside or for other purposes.

The doubts in the heart of "Driver Langzhong" were at their peak at this time, and they couldn't care about killing those who shot arrows, and together with the original guards, they did their best to take care of this coffin that didn't know who it contained.

The two sides are at the gate of this Taishou Mansion, and they have fought in one place.

The Assassins were fierce and brave, but they didn't seem to have much interest in hurting people's lives, and were bent on splitting coffins.

And the guards arranged by Liu Zhu were not inferior, and they were stunned to protect the coffin and not give an inch.

It wasn't until the men of the "Driver's Division" also joined the battle group that the two sides were only at a stalemate, and the Assassin's side gradually showed a disadvantage.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Assassins abandoned the coffin and fled.

However, the situation changed again, and the archers who were answering the assassins in the distance recognized the "Driver Langzhong" who was directing the dispatch, and several sharp arrows were fired at him.

Thinking of taking advantage of the opponent's decline, he killed the assassin in one fell swoop, and even left a few alive "Driver Langzhong" had to dodge in a hurry, and the horse was also disturbed, and he fell off the horse carelessly in his urgency.

Before he could say a word, his originally open mouth closed fiercely, and he bit his tongue heavily, and suddenly blood flowed from his mouth.

When his men saw that the commander had fallen from his horse, they did not care about the coffin assassins, and gathered around him one after another, and in order to prevent the archers from firing any more dark arrows, they surrounded him in the middle.

The screams and fights around him still didn't stop, and the "driving department Langzhong" wanted his subordinates to kill the assassin again, but he had already fallen into a mess, and he couldn't speak due to the severe pain in his mouth, so he had to spit on the ground.

But most of this mouthful was full of blood, just so that his subordinates could see it, and they thought that the commander had suffered internal injuries, and several people didn't care about what he said, so they carried him into the Taishou Mansion in a panic.

Fortunately, Liu Zhu was also in danger, and before the "driving department Langzhong" entered the house, he first heard him shout to this side: "The Lord Langzhong is thoughtful!" ”

Then he shouted to the guards of the coffin: "Don't let the assassins go!" ”

"Driving Langzhong" relaxed a little.

After entering the house, it is temporarily safe, the door of the house is closed, and the family is on guard. I don't think the Assassin will come in for a while.

Then everyone tossed for a while, only to understand that it was okay to come over to command, but he bit his tongue, but his lower mouth was quite heavy, and he could only curl his tongue to speak. Then he begged for water, looked for ice, and was busy for a while before he stopped.

When this side was done, Liu Zhu also packed up and entered the mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked eagerly, "Is Lord Langzhong okay?" ”

When he saw more than a dozen people surrounding the "driving department" in the middle, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked again.

"Driver Langzhong" gasped, pulled a gap out of the crowd, and said, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry." ”

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then gasped and asked, "Lord Langzhong, this is... Hungry? ”

When the "driving department Langzhong" heard it, he was obviously more anxious, and called out vaguely, "I'm hungry!" Then he grinned in pain.

Liu Zhi looked at him and didn't know how to speak for a while, and at this time, a subordinate nearby replied: "Our adults say it's okay." ”

Liu Zhu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then as if he thought of something, he pointed to his head and asked the man, "Is this a fall here?" ”

The subordinate coughed and replied, "Bit your tongue." ”

Liu Zhi let out an "oh", and then he was completely relieved.
