Chapter 49: The Assassins
"Driving Langzhong" really didn't want to lose such a face again, and seeing that Liu Zhu didn't seem to be very impatient, he knew that the chaos caused by the assassins outside was at least okay for the time being.
After the medical officer who arrived in a hurry gave him a brief treatment and rested for a while, he could finally say a whole sentence: "Did the scout catch the photo?" ”
Liu Zhu understood this time, and hurriedly replied: "Everyone has already been sent out to chase after him, and we will be able to find out later." ”
Now the time has been wrong, but before the assassin's matter is clarified, it is still a bit risky to let Liu Zhu just go out of the city like this.
Moreover, he had always felt faintly in his heart that since he entered the city, in addition to these many visions, there was another thing that was also very unreasonable.
It wasn't until the assassin appeared that his first reaction was that the second prince had sent someone over. Although the situation was dangerous, it suddenly made him realize.
It stands to reason that the person who classifies Liu Zhu as the second prince is because Liu Zhu helped Li Xun and ruined the important things that His Royal Highness personally came to do. It is precisely because of this that His Royal Highness has to recall him back to Beijing.
But their team was sent by Song Xiang on the surface, and since Liu Zhu was the second prince's person, even if he was not elated when he entered Beijing this time, he should have happily complied with the order.
However, looking at his attitude of prevarication, it seems to be very reluctant.
Unless Liu Zhi knew in advance that Lang Zhong of the driving department was replaced on the way here.
Then there are three possibilities, first, Liu Shu has a personal relationship with the real driver, and when he sees that the person who is not right, he knows what has happened.
However, they also know about Liu Zhu's situation, and the Taishou of this small city itself does not have much connection with Jingzhong. Moreover, judging from the first meeting between himself and Liu Zhu when he entered Tongcheng, this Taishou did not have a personal relationship with the original driver, and there was nothing unusual when they met. The likelihood is slim to non-existent.
The second is that from the time they changed people to the way into Tongcheng, the news was leaked to Liu Zhu in advance.
On closer inspection, however, this is not possible. When stopping this group of people, in addition to the people who showed their whereabouts on the surface, His Royal Highness also arranged people nearby, and on the way here, his own subordinates also made strict guards and controls on the team, and it was impossible for the news to leak in both places.
Then there is a third type, that is, after they entered Tongcheng, Liu Zhu learned his true identity.
Although after entering the city, the person who arranged to guard Liu Zhu had an accident, but it was not only Liu Zhu who was watched, but also Bibu Langzhong and others. His subordinates were different from the group of wine bags and rice bags of the E-shaped team, and the errand was done effectively and dedicatedly, and there was no possibility of private contact between the two groups.
"Driving Langzhong" thought about it, but he really couldn't think of the fourth possible situation. He didn't argue anymore, and he didn't want to say any more, just waiting for the Assassin pursuers to come back and make a decision, so he closed his eyes for a while.
At this time, outside the mansion, more than a dozen guards had already dispersed, chasing the assassin to various nearby alleys. In an instant, each of them was a few miles away.
The guards chased to the end, and some of them lost the trace of the assassin, so they had to turn back to the Taishou Mansion in vain.
The other part was led by the Assassins to a secluded place where no one could be seen. After making sure that there was no one behind him, he either dodged into a house that was obviously uninhabited, or turned into a corner of an alley, completely concealing his body and avoiding the eyes and ears of unrelated people.
In the place where the guards disappeared, the assassin they were chasing and another secret guard were already waiting for them, and there was also a cloth bag with a human in the same place.
After the guards entered, the three of them moved at the same time, tacitly pulling out the newly dead man in the cloth bag who was dressed in the same outfit as the assassin.
Then, either slashing at the wall with a knife, or slashing at tables, chairs and benches, in short, there was some movement. After a moment's silence, the guards reappeared from where they had disappeared, many of them dragging a corpse dressed like the Assassin's.
The guards did not delay, and those who had no harvest were all disgraced, and they all went back to the Taishou Mansion together.
By the time they had gone, the original Assassins had also gathered with the Dark Guards, who had already changed their clothes, walked out of the alley, and disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, not far away, in the small courtyard rented by Wen Liang himself, he had just returned from the Chengyi Inn, and before he could rest, he saw his secret guards coming and going, saying that the Taishou Mansion had stopped.
Wen Liang only said "I know" and said no more.
But the guard had no intention of leaving. Just stand still and stop talking.
"If you have something, just say it." Wen Liang said while fetching water.
The secret guard didn't dare to hide it, and simply replied: "Yu Hou, it's a little different from the plan, although we successfully delivered the corpse, but the Chu army went on a business trip and didn't catch up with us, only consuming one of them. ”
Wen Liang didn't think there was anything wrong, he still said "I know", and then added "Go and rest".
Seeing that Yu Hou did not look angry, and did not arrange other remedial matters, the secret guard knew that this situation was also expected by Yu Hou, so he said no more and took his leave.
Wenliang really doesn't care. The eldest lady did not ask for it, and consuming some Chu military manpower was just another task assigned by him. Now that the main business has been completed, there is no need to embarrass the subordinates.
This time, the secret guards in the city were moving around, although the slightest carelessness would cost their lives, but for the group of people under Wen Liang, such an errand was quite tense and exciting.
The dark guards naturally have great righteousness in their hearts, and they all regard the survival of the Liangzhou army as their own responsibility, but in addition, they all have some unusual expectations and excitement for the days of rolling at the tip of the knife.
When Wenliang first formed the secret guard, he carefully selected it.
When I was in Liangzhou, the secret guards were nothing more than some secret guards, stealth assassinations and other work, everyone was familiar with the road, and they were even a little wooden.
Now, these errands, which are even planned in an instant, have indeed opened up a different situation for the Dark Guard.
When the eldest lady told him the plan in detail, even Wenliang himself couldn't help but be excited.
He didn't know how this girl, who was only twenty-eight years old, could have such a bold and careful mind.
But she always felt that the secret guard was in her hands, and the Liangzhou army was in her hands, and the road ahead would be even broader than when General Wenzong was there.
Thinking of this, Wen Liang didn't know whether to be relieved or happy, the water was just hot at this time, and the middle-aged Yu who had just burst out of the hearts of many teenagers did a careful grooming, and then changed his clothes and went out.
