Chapter 114: Failed Assassination
One step, two steps, closer.
Hazi was so nervous that a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the hand holding the dagger was also a little trembling, I don't know if he was excited or nervous.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the side of the bed and stab the dagger in his hand into Wu Mo's heart, Ha Zi's eyes were amazingly bright, as long as this dagger stabbed into Wu Mo's heart, then he would be fine.
"Bell!" The dagger fell halfway down, and was suddenly blocked by another long sword, the joy on Hazi's face froze, and his eyes showed horror, what's going on?
Lu Zheng's long sword scraped towards Hazi's neck, and although Hazi reacted quickly to avoid the blow, the clothes on his shoulders were still cut by the long sword.
"Who sent you?!" Lu Zheng squinted dangerously at the masked man in front of him.
On the front foot, Amer took medicine to cure his throat, and on the back foot, someone rushed to kill people, saying that there was no one behind him, and he didn't believe it.
Hazi didn't understand why someone suddenly appeared, but he understood that it wouldn't do him any good if he continued to stay.
Thinking so, Hazi glared at Wu Mo on the bed unwillingly, but still turned his head and wanted to run.
After all, if Qingshan is left without firewood, as long as Wu Mo's throat does not recover for a day, then they still have a chance.
However, since Lu Zheng showed up to block it, where can he let people run away?
Hazi almost just walked out of Wu Mo's room when he was blocked by four or five men outside.
He's just a little bastard, he doesn't have much work on his hands, it's all skin, and he can't be an opponent for so many people.
Hazi frantically uses her brain, trying to figure out a way out for herself.
"Take the man down." Lu Zheng doesn't leave people the slightest chance, and he should deal with this kind of person quickly and save trouble.
The guards did as they were told, there were four or five people on their side, and there was only one on the other side, so it was no problem to take them down.
Hazi subconsciously resisted, not wanting the next moment, the sharp arrow broke through the air, accurately penetrated his heart, and pierced the door panel behind him!
Lu Zheng's eyes froze, and he chased in the direction where the arrow was coming from, if his speed was fast enough, he should be able to block the person before the arrow shooter left.
As for the person who fell from the arrow, it was an arrow through the heart, and it could not be saved, so there was no need to continue to waste time on him.
"You guys are optimistic about Amer, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes."
"Yes!"
……
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Zheng returned empty-handed with a black face, he thought he was fast enough, but by the time he arrived at the location where the shooter might be hiding, it was empty.
The speed at which the other party left was a few points faster than he imagined, and he didn't know who Amer had offended behind his back.
"Master, the other party came prepared, and his subordinates failed to catch up with people, please punish the master!" Lu Zheng lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down.
Xiao Zhi glanced at Lu Zheng, waved his hand and shouted, "Get up." ”
"Yes!" Lu Zheng got up according to his words, his expression was a little relaxed, and the prince shouted, thinking that the prince didn't mean to blame him.
"How's Amer?" Tao Tao waited for Xiao Zhi to express his position before he opened his mouth to care.
"Back to the princess, Amer is still asleep and not hurt." Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I originally wanted to take down the person for interrogation, but before I could do it, the person was shot to death by an arrow. ”
"The people who let the arrows leave quickly, as if they have already been prepared, and once the assassination fails, they will immediately release the arrows to kill the person who did it."
"In this way, the other party has already discovered Amer's existence, and he is very afraid that Amer's mouth will say something." Tao Tao raised his eyebrows, this is easy to do.
When Amer woke up and his throat recovered, they would know what had happened.
"How long will it be before he wakes up?" Xiao Zhi turned the wrench on the thumb of his left hand.
"Two hours later." Tao Tao calculated the time, they only needed to ensure Amer's safety within these two hours, and when Amer woke up, then they would know the truth.
Lu Zheng's scalp was numb, don't look at it, two hours doesn't seem to be very long, but in the case that the other party is bound to have to die of Amer, it seems to be very long.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case the other party fails to succeed in several attempts, and jumps off the wall in a hurry, what if you move other crooked thoughts?
"Can't you wake him up now?"
"No, the effect of the medicine is still working, and waking him up now is tantamount to abandoning all the previous efforts." Tao Tao did not hesitate to strike Lu Zheng's hope.
Lu Zheng: "......"
Yes, that is, he still has to tense his nerves and lead people to guard Amer well.
"Let's go down." Xiao Zhi glanced at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng had no choice but to retreat as he said, raising the defense of Amer's room to another level.
"You said that the other party has been unable to do it, will it break the jar and break it, and do something?" Tao Tao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Zhi, but saw that there was no worry on his face.
“? Azhi, you don't seem to be worried at all? ”
Xiao Zhi chuckled, "What's there to worry about?" If I were the other party, after I couldn't strike a blow, I wouldn't act rashly. ”
"Why? Since he can send someone to kill Amer, it proves that he doesn't want Amer to speak, so how can he give up so easily? Tao Tao didn't understand, in her opinion, the other party should be persistent, and he would definitely send someone to assassinate Amer again.
Xiao Zhi shook his head, "He won't give up, but he won't be stupid enough to continue to send people, even if Amer knows what he can say, there is no physical evidence of these things." ”
"He will comfort himself that there is no physical evidence, as long as he doesn't admit it, then no one can convict him, of course, it is also important to make Amer unable to open his mouth, otherwise he will not send someone to assassinate him."
"Tsk, there's a lot of twists and turns." Tao Tao decided to let it go, "Forget it, anyway, the protection will be handed over to Lu Zheng and them, and we won't be able to help, just wait for Amer to wake up." ”
The smile in Xiao Zhi's eyes deepened a little, "It's good that you can think like this." ”
"Let's go, there's still two hours, let's go back to sleep." Tao Tao took Xiao Zhi's hand and didn't give Xiao Zhi a chance to resist, so he pulled the person into the inner room, bypassed the screen, and came to the bedside.
Xiao Zhi's forehead jumped wildly, "Can you pay attention to your words?" ”
"Huh? What words do I need to pay attention to? Don't we sleep together? Tao Tao blinked innocently, literally sleeping together, is there any problem?
Xiao Zhi was speechless, in the end, he couldn't say Tao Tao, so he could only give up helplessly, "Shut up!" ”
"But I opened my mouth to speak." Tao Tao smiled and provoked Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi's eyes quickly crossed a touch of danger, "Then don't blame this king for blocking your mouth in other ways!" ”
“…… Ah, I'm so scared. Tao Tao heard what Xiao Zhi meant, and she was obviously guilty in her heart, but she still owed a debt on her lips.
Xiao Zhi rolled his eyes angrily, and directly blocked her with action, not giving her a chance to speak again.
