Chapter 535: Zhao Taishou was assassinated

Zhao Hu, who rushed out of the backyard like the wind, found that when he came to the front yard, he found that the soldiers in the palace had already beaten away a group of thieves who intended to attack the Taishou Mansion, but he did not feel relaxed at all, but became more worried.

Zhao Hu took a deep breath, calmed his anxious heart a little, and then sorted out the chaotic clues. He remembered the record of the riots in Yuyang in the intelligence, and felt that the chaos tonight was very similar to him, but he did not understand what the people who caused the chaos wanted to do. Zhao Hu even intuitively speculated that the person who did the work might be from Yizhou, and he must have been a spy of the Sima family in the city.

Only a moment later, Zhao Hu sent his own soldiers to Simen to report the news, asking the officers and soldiers stationed at each gate to allocate half of their manpower to the nearest fire site to extinguish the fire, and at the same time arrest the gangsters who set the fire. Just as he was deploying the mission, nearly a hundred shadow team members lurking in Xiafen City also took urgent action and rushed towards the backyard of Taishou Mansion in the dark night. With their professional vigilance, when fires broke out in various parts of the city, they realized the seriousness of the matter, and without Zhao Hu's summons, everyone would also consciously gather at the Taishou Mansion and wait for Zhao Hu's instructions and dispatches.

After arranging the task in the front yard, Zhao Hu really did not go out of the house directly, but turned back to the backyard. Looking at the more than ninety men standing silently in the courtyard, Zhao Hu said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything superfluous, the situation is very tense now, our task is to find out all the enemies who dare to cause chaos in the city, let this group of rats be exposed to the light, and then kill them all with a chaotic stick!"

After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he immediately assigned tasks to these subordinates of his own. More than 90 people were divided into 10 action groups, each with different tasks. Some groups rushed directly to the place where the fire started to arrest the "rats"; some groups searched for clues in the city; and some groups rushed ahead of time to the place where the enemy might move next to carry out a counter-ambush.

When there were only eight people left in the courtyard, Zhao Hu said: "The remaining brothers will follow me tonight, and we will now go to the location where the fire broke out in the direction of the east gate!" After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he picked up a machete and walked towards the gate of the mansion, while the eight shadow team members followed him without saying a word.

When Zhao Hu arrived near the east gate, the fire had been controlled by the officers and soldiers who had arrived, and some injured people had also been rescued from the fire, but dozens of people were still buried in the fire, and their homes were burned to death.

Zhao Hu looked at the tragic situation in front of him, his face became more and more cold and ruthless, and his eyes revealed an undisguised murderous intent. Zhao Hu said to himself in his heart: It's best not to let me find out who did it, otherwise I will definitely repay him tenfold and hundredfold!

Subsequently, Zhao Hu led people to the direction of the fire near the south gate. On the way from the east gate to the south gate, you need to pass through a tortuous alley, Zhao Hu was anxious and only cared about running wildly, so he walked at the front of the team, and the team members behind him fell a distance of more than ten steps.

Just as Zhao Hu turned a street bend and continued to walk forward quickly, Zhang Yi and a group of subordinates who were lurking on the rooftops of the shops on both sides of the street suddenly flew down from both sides and surrounded Zhao Hu together. "Kill!" Zhang Yi gave an order, and everyone raised their swords and bows and crossbows to greet Zhao Hu's body.

Just as Zhang Yi and his subordinates flew down, Zhao Hu had already discovered the anomaly, and immediately stopped his hurried steps, put the machete across his chest, and quickly retreated, wanting to avoid the siege of this group of masked black-clothed men.

There are more than a dozen people under Zhang Yi who are ambushed here, and when they wait for Zhao Hu to throw themselves into the net, their kung fu is naturally not weak. Before Zhao Hu could take two steps back, everyone had already surrounded him in the middle, and several people stopped in front of the shadow team members behind, isolating Zhao Hu and the eight team members alive.

"Kill!" The shadow team members were not slow to react, as soon as they found the black-clothed crowd that suddenly fell, they rushed forward one after another, only the last team member did not make a move, but immediately turned around and ran quickly in the direction from which they came.

"Brothers, hurry up and kill Zhao Hu, some of them have gone to report the news!" Zhang Yi, who was in charge of the command in the field, saw Zhao Hu who was more than ten steps away from him and gradually ran away, so he shouted loudly, drew his sword and joined the battle group that surrounded and killed Zhao Hu.

"Drink! Break it for me!" Although he was alone in a heavy siege and had been stabbed several times, Zhao Hu did not show any timidity, turned his back to a street wall, and waved the steel knife in his hand vigorously, forcing the gangsters who rushed up to get close. Zhao Hu's kung fu is basically learned from Guan Yu's knife technique, although he uses a short-handled broad-backed machete, which is different from the long-handled horse and big knife used by Guan Yu, but the knife intent is the same, the same awe-inspiring sharpness, which is very suitable for fighting with the crowd, so until this time, he can still support the undefeated formation strongly.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at Zhao Hu's mad demon sword technique, he really didn't expect that a Taishou would have such a strong martial art.

"Shoot him with a sleeve crossbow!" Zhang Yi reminded, so several of his men raised their right arms and quickly shot at Zhao Hu.

"Flutter, flutter!" Two arrows sounded into the flesh, and Zhao Hu screamed and fell to the ground with a machete, and his body fell backwards crookedly. Zhang Yi was about to step forward to mend the knife, when he suddenly heard the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air behind him, so he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone retreat!"

Zhang Yi dodged a sharp arrow and quickly withdrew from the warband, several of his men who were slow to move but had already been shot dead by the Shadow Squad who arrived behind.

It turned out that the team members who went to report the news had quickly contacted another action group that was looking for traces of the enemy from street to street, and this group of team members ran towards the location of Zhao Hu's attack, and at the same time took out the military short crossbow on their backs, and when they saw the enemy for the first time, they fired a volley.

Subsequently, Zhang Yi's several subordinates who stayed behind to stop the Shadow Team were all slaughtered by the Shadow Team, and during the melee, several members of the Shadow Team were killed because they didn't expect the enemy to hide hidden weapons in their sleeves.

The chaotic battle situation has ended, and the shadow team members who have caught up behind have already chased Zhang Yi, and the eight team members who followed Zhao Hu are now five people left, and they quickly grabbed the place where Zhao Hu arrived and began to perform battlefield first aid very tacitly.

"I was hit by an arrow in my right chest and abdomen, and I was bleeding profusely and was unconscious!" said a member of the team who knew a lot about medicine.

"Hurry up and give Zhao Taishou a heart booster! Then stop the bleeding from the wound, and quickly send someone to Gaoping to report and ask for emergency rescue!" said another team member.
