Chapter 44: Assassination
Self-confidence is very important for a person, and the building of self-confidence depends on the height of one's own skills, such as cold scouts who are confident in their skills.
But overconfidence is dangerous, it can lead to deviations in behavior or results, and eventually it can shake self-confidence, which can affect the state of one of your skills.
Usually, people who are truly confident do not appear overconfident, in other words, people who are overconfident are fools in front of truly confident people.
Cold scouts are never fools.
For another example, Ye Mo was full of confidence in his new close-fitting armor, but because this armor hindered physical activity, he changed it to a small type, and after moving his body very casually, he was very satisfied with this change, and praised Zheng Shi verbally, and at the same time encouraged him to make persistent efforts to create a few more.
After all, the women around you also have to use armor to defend themselves.
But the problems exposed by this armor are also very troublesome, and for example, the waist behind the body, and the lower abdomen in front of the body, are easy to be attacked.
Ye Mo thought that there was such a coincidence, so unlucky that he was unharmed elsewhere, and he was attacked on his waist and abdomen?
But he forgot that he was a coincidence.
So, this coincidence almost killed him.
The first time it was supposed to be a stinging pain, but because the armor protected the back of the heart, the fatal blow passed through the shock of the steel armor and became a shock pain in the entire back, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, which made his body suddenly move to the side!
At the last moment, there was a slight sound of breaking the air behind him.
Then there was a sharp pain in the lower back.
Don't think about it, she hugged Shi Yiguang who came to look for him just now, and she wore armor, but Shi Yiguang didn't wear it, if she was hurt, her life would be in vain.
So before she could react, Ye Mo hugged her and ran towards the crowd.
Shi Yiguang's shyness had not yet been born, and the warm and viscous liquid came from the palm of his right hand under Ye Mo's ribs, and when he pulled it out and saw the blood on his hand, he immediately screamed in fright.
It was not only Shi Yiguang who screamed, but also the two people who built the cofferdam in front.
"Ah......h
The people were frightened by the scream, and immediately ran in all directions screaming, and after only a few screams, the man fell to the ground and did not move.
Ye Mo took advantage of the chaos to wrap his arms around Shi Yiguang's waist and said in a deep voice: "Don't move!" ”
After that, while following the crowd, he hid the bodies of the two of them well in the flow of people, and two essences suddenly burst out of his eyes, and he quickly swept around.
Shi Yiguang was stunned by this sudden change, and his brain still couldn't react, and when he woke up, he said in a panic: "Who?" What are you going to do? ”
"Hmph, besides the Sheng family, who else wants to kill me?"
"Hiss......" Shi Yiguang throbbed but rose from the bottom of her heart, "Are you sure?" ”
"Not sure." He moved quickly with the flow of people.
"Escape first, the other party is a master of pursuit." When Ye Mo spoke in a low voice, he walked through the crowd with Shi Yiguang in his arms.
Ye Mo began to dodge while catching the killer behind him, and at the same time, he was also secretly frightened, the opponent's tracking skills were very clever, he didn't let him find the target, and his intuition told him that the other party was definitely not alone.
But at the same time, it also put him at ease, because his goal was himself, so that Shi Ziyi and Zheng Dan would be safe, which was the only thing that worried him now.
Ye Mo buried his head in his arms and hugged Shi Yiguang, following the farther and farther away in the crowd, as he walked, he looked at the four directions, listened to the eight directions, and paid attention to the enemies who might attack at any time in all directions.
Ye Mo's hand was slightly horizontal, one hand was supporting Shi Ziyi's buttocks, and the other hand was around her waist and holding her in his arms! This can reduce the area of the blow, there are a lot of people here, it is estimated that no one will release arrows, but this possibility cannot be ruled out, as for the sharpshooter, there will definitely not be, because his own route, the opponent does not know.
Without the sharpshooter who is the most threatening, Ye Mo's heart is a lot more settled, the ordinary arrow cluster can't kill him, and the most headache is the woman in his arms.
While rapidly burying his head forward, Ye Mo's ears constantly caught all the movements within ten meters of his side.
Suddenly, a jumble of footsteps and long breathing appeared five meters behind him.
Ye Mo frowned, the opponent is very strong, the quality is excellent, the heart is not flustered or beating, this kind of person is not an ordinary killer! It's terrifying to be able to be so calm before the killing.
"Hiss......" At the moment when the person approached, a one-foot-long short blade suddenly appeared in the man's hand, and without even making a sound of breaking through the air, it stabbed straight at the right position on Ye Mo's back, which was facing the heart.
The soft sound of "ding" made the cold scout stunned, and at the moment when he was stunned, Ye Mo's body flashed with all his strength, and Shi Yiguang, who was still holding more than ninety catties in his arms, moved half a foot silently.
The cold scout was stunned for a short time, and in just half a breath, a short knife appeared in his left hand, stabbing at Ye Mo's lower back, and the position was very accurate, that is, the kidney part.
This time, Ye Mo couldn't dodge it no matter what, so he could only sigh secretly, his life was bitter!
"Click!" There was a sound of the Fei brothers' long knives colliding with the short knives of the cold scouts.
Ye Mohuo's hope made his legs full of strength and run with all his might......
......
Two major evil events occurred in Zhuji County, and no matter which of these two major events was earth-shattering enough, they reached the royal court.
One is Ye Mo, who has the name of the immortal, who was assassinated and seriously injured, several innocent villagers died, the assassin was killed and one was injured, the injured absconded, and the officials were making every effort to arrest him.
The other was that the villagers ate rice and grain that night, and more than 10 people were killed and injured by poisoning, and dozens of displaced people were also killed and injured.
I heard that the rice grain supply is two rice shops, one is the Liang family rice shop, the other is the Sheng family rice shop, according to the rice grain this time is supplied by the Sheng family, the cook in the steaming, it was found that the rice grain is a little old, it seems to be a little moldy.
After discovering this matter at that time, he asked the shopkeeper of the Sheng family, but the shopkeeper of the Sheng family refused to admit it at the scene, and said that the cook had made a mistake in steaming, and said that Ye Mo wanted to occupy the property of the Sheng family and coveted Miss Sheng, so he sent someone to deliberately frame the Sheng family.
These two incidents immediately caused a sensation in the entire Zhuji County, and the pavilion chiefs, township leaders, and the strangers were quickly inspected from house to house, and the envoy of the Thousand Words Division of the King of Yue rushed back to the palace overnight for three hundred miles to report.
And in the prison of the county seat, the stench of carrion, the stench of excretion, and the indescribable mixed stench hit people's noses, which was disgusting, but Zheng Tingchang didn't care.
It's as if his nose has no sense of smell here.
The sunlight couldn't shine in at all, only the lit pine oil torches, which emitted light, and Pei Yu's miserable face and fleshy body could be seen clearly.
A bucket of water was poured on Pei Yu's head very skillfully and accurately by the officials, which made his consciousness sober up, and he could no longer bear the pain that pierced his heart, so he hovered in the ghostly prison with a heart-rending howl.
Pavilion Chief Zheng was very excited, although he didn't sleep for two days and one night, his eyes were still shining.
The leather whip in his hand was very thin and strong, soaked in salt water, and with a slight wave, the tip of the whip made a sharp whistling sound with the air, drilling straight into Pei Yu's eardrums, stimulating his already fragile nerves.
"Say, it's stupid to be a good man here, you're already stupid, do you want to be more stupid?" Zheng Ting let out a long puff and sprayed the wine in his mouth on the whip, spraying it very evenly, and his face also showed a very satisfied look.
"Adult, small injustice...... In vain, really...... Wronged......"
"If you are wronged, you will be wronged, it doesn't matter, whether you say it or not, it will be the same fate, but if you say it yourself, you can also feel at ease, look, the confession is ready, just wait for you to draw the charge."
The whistling sound of the whip in his hand sounded, and it landed accurately on Pei Yu's body, and when the whip was raised again, the minced meat and blood that it brought up flew away.
Pei Yu's terrible screams also cried: "I said I said, don't ...... Hit ...... The little ones all say that the one who dies is called the ...... of the slaughtering cow, and the one who runs is called the cold scout, is it...... killer ......"
He was saying that the official recorded that Pavilion Chief Zheng still waved a whip from time to time, and asked other officials to bring the Sheng family shopkeeper over, and then the first trial.
When the shopkeeper of the Sheng family was brought to Pei Yu, when he saw Pei Yu's miserable condition, where could he stand it, he fainted with a "hiccup".
Pavilion Chief Zheng was even more satisfied with this performance, and asked the officials to press their fingers, sign and draw, keep the confession, and not lose it, and then take a brisk step and go back to make up for sleep first.
The spirit suddenly relaxed, and the sleepiness came up.
Pavilion Chief Zheng's sleepiness came up, but Sheng Zhi didn't even feel sleepy, although he hadn't closed his eyes for two days and one night, the maid behind him stood quietly, and he didn't dare to say much, the food on the plate in his hand was already cold, thinking about whether to go back to the kitchen to heat up, but he didn't dare to move, for a while, he was sad to death.
Outside the window, the sky is overcast, gray, and the howling wind makes the last leaves fly all over the sky, indicating that the coldest day of the year has begun to erode your skin.
Sheng Qing walked gently to Sheng Zhi's side and motioned for the maid to step back.
The maid secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave Sheng Qing a salute, and left the house with a dinner plate.
Sheng Zhi's arrogant expression in the past has long been gone, his face is full of loneliness, and his empty eyes can no longer show his wise look, Xiao Se said: "It's so cold this year, it's colder than last year, but I don't know if there will be a coming year?" ”
“...... Daddy ...... "Sheng Qing doesn't know how to consol her.
Sheng Zhi saw Sheng Qing stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you leave?" ”
Sheng Qing's face was sad, and he said, "Qing'er wants to accompany Daddy." ”
Sheng Zhi sighed: "Silly boy, it's too late if you don't leave, it's really a wrong step, a wrong step, if Cao Xiang was talking to Daddy about cooperation, if Daddy agreed, maybe it would be a different situation, but ah, this person is afraid of making a mistake." ”
"Daddy, this surnamed Ye is really not a thing, he looks like a dog, he secretly does some unsightly things, and when Miss Ben is well, he will definitely not let him go."
Sheng Zhi smiled dismally and said: "Daddy can't stand you, maybe he really responded to that sentence, there are too many wrong things, God can't see it, Daddy does this, it's nothing more than saving more family business for the family, our businessman's family, in the eyes of the official, is a pig to be slaughtered, don't accumulate more things around you, how to live a stable life?" Now that it has reached such a point, Daddy will never regret it, but he just pity the child. ”
As he spoke, his eyes became a little moist.
"Daddy......" Sheng Qing couldn't help choking.
"Good daughter, don't cry, I've been weak since I was a child, I hurt my body by crying, the kid surnamed Ye is also a person who can be healed, I said that I will heal you, I will be able to heal, if you can heal well, find a good family to marry, and live in peace, forget about it."
"Daddy....." Sheng Qing agreed, but he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, and he must find an opportunity to skin and cramp this enemy, and crush his bones and ashes.
