Section 3: Assassination
"Our situation... Now everyone understands, right?" At Zichuan Ning's house, Zichuan Xiu summoned Roger, Shirakawa, Nagakawa and other subordinates to speak.
All the subordinates nodded affirmatively, indicating understanding.
"I am mortal enemies with President Yang Minghua - which side do you choose to stand on?"
Roger: "We originally had no grudge or enmity with President Yang Minghua..."
Shirakawa: "But since he's your enemy..."
Nagawa: "Then of course we will choose without hesitation..."
The three of them said in unison: "Support the president's collar and defeat Zichuan Xiu!"
"After being angry for so long, I finally have a chance to repay!"
"That's it, don't talk about Yang Minghua, if you Zichuan Xiu have a grudge against hell..."
"We will not hesitate to join King Yama!"

"Okay, don't be impulsive - I'll give you the zìyóu of choice. I turned around and counted ten sounds, and those who didn't support me walked out of the room door by themselves. The people who stayed after ten rings were the ones who followed and supported me resolutely—hey, Roger, you started running before I even turned around and counted, didn't you?"
"Okay, I'm starting to count: one, three, five, six, eight..."
"No, no, you're counting too fast—and you're cutting corners, I haven't had time to run yet!
"One, two, three、..."
"Oh, Changchuan, I can't open this door!"
"Fourth, Five、、..."
"Oops, that scoundrel locked the door!"
"We can't get out - he didn't even plan to let us out!"
"Seven, eight..."
"Shirakawa, take the master key and open the door!"
"I've lost the key in my room—there's no time, Roger, you're big, knock the door open!"
"Roger, hurry up, otherwise it's too late - we have to fall into Zi Chuanxiu's hands again!"
"Nine..."
"Bang!" (Roger's banging on the door)
"It hurts me, what kind of door is this!
"Ten!"
Zi Chuan Xiu turned around and explained: "This is a gate made of safe materials - it seems that no one has left, it really gratifies me - I see the truth in danger, and I am so happy to know loyalty - at this time of crisis, everyone is so loyal to me Zi Chuan Xiu, I am so touched... I'm about to shed tears..."
Shikawa wiped a handful of snot.

"My lord," the secretary knocked on the door of Commander Lei Xun's office, "Deputy Commander Di Lin asks to see you." ”
"Oh, got it. "Lei Xun was a little unhappy in his heart: Di Lin's stinky kid is becoming more and more favored by Yang Minghua, and he has no one in his eyes after winning a few battles with the demons, and he became the deputy commander in his early twenties, and he may surpass my status in the future... He looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and in another hour, the curfew would begin, and the siege of the Governor's Mansion would begin - Dilin had come at this time, what was the matter?
"Ask him to come in. ”
Di Lin entered the office and respectfully saluted Lei Xun, not at all like the usual arrogant appearance, which made Lei Xun feel more comfortable.
"Di Lin, when is it, it's time for you to go and do serious things!--Something to do with me?" (Lei Xun's so-called serious thing is to go after and kill Ge Yingxing.) )
"Oh, my lord, here's the thing: during the Far East, Xia Guan had a lot of gains when he fought against the demons, and now he wants to pay tribute to the lord and talk a little about it. ”
Lei Xun's tense face immediately softened, and his tone was much smoother: "Oh, this is so polite and heartfelt." (Who doesn't know that you scraped the land of the demon clan in the Far East, scraped not a single inch of grass, and of course you made a lot of oil and water!)
"It's just that, as a metric officer, it's really inconvenient for this commander to accept your kindness!" (Don't take those worthless magic stones and glittering jade to perfunctory Lao Tzu - I don't want worthless things!)
Di Lin admired Lei Xun like a high mountain: "Your Excellency Lei Commander is high and bright, which really makes the lower officials and other juniors admire! However, these thin gifts were originally only prepared for you alone, so please give the lower officials some face anyway, and accept it!" He leaned close to Lei Xun and whispered: "This is not something that can be seen normally, it was captured by the demon nobles who never had time to escape after the lower officials captured Kashlaiqi, and it is absolutely valuable!" Di Lin smiled on his side.
"Oh, Lord Dilin, you've really embarrassed the Commander... You must know that this commander usually never accepts gifts (because it is too little)... Okay, this time it's up to you to save face, make an exception, what's so amazing? By the way, it's not an example!"
Di Lin smiled mysteriously: "Absolutely not an example, my lord." How about your lordship, please let my maid in the hall bring things up?"
Lei Xun instructed Jǐng Wei to let him go.
Two soldiers with low hats carried an iron box more than half a person high with great difficulty, and Lei Xun thought in his heart: What is such a big one? diamonds, gold, rare magical treasures?... Seeing how hard they resist, the weight must not be light..."
The box was placed on Lei Xun's desk, and Di Lin mysteriously closed the office door, and then gently opened the lock of the box, and said with a smile: "The adults will know when they open it." ”
Lei Xun couldn't bear to lift the lid of the box and froze: the box was empty.
He mechanically raised his head to look at Di Lin: "You..."
※※※
Sudden change!
A soldier standing to his left slashed at his neck -- an ordinary knife that could be said to be a knife without discipline and posture, and the only characteristic was: Fast! It was unbelievably fast, more fierce than light, faster than light! What was even more terrifying was that the knife was launched without warning, and without seeing any movement, and in an instant the shining knife had reached the head and neck of Lei Xun--as if a knife had been born out of the air!
Lei Xun is also a first-class master, but in the face of such a terrible knife, he can only react instinctively: he leaned to the right, and subconsciously raised his left hand to block.
With a "brush", his left hand was cut off by his wrist, and the castration of the knife was slightly blocked, cutting deeply into the carotid artery under his neck.
Almost at the same time, the soldier on Lei Xun's right lightly punched Lei Xun in the shoulder—so light that Lei Xun could barely feel it. But immediately, a feeling of paralysis began at the shoulder, and instantly spread to the whole body: all the blood vessels, veins, and breath of Lei Xun's whole body were frozen and coagulated in an instant, and even the little bit of true qi that he temporarily raised to prepare for a counterattack was also sealed--what kind of person's martial arts are so strong and domineering? At this moment of life and death, Lei Xun only thought of a name-since it was Sterling, he was bound to die, but at least he had to inform the people outside--Lei Xun mustered his last strength and wanted to shout...
But he only felt a chill in his throat, but he couldn't make a sound... Di Lin stabbed him in the throat with a lightning bolt, severing his trachea.
The last scene before Lei Xun was confused was that Di Lin was holding a blood-dripping sword, looking at him with a cruel smile, and he suddenly felt: This scene is so familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere......
Lei Xun, the number one master of the Zichuan family and the commander of the Zhōngyāng army, died standing straight with his eyes wide open and standing straight - as for whether he understood the reason when he died, no one will ever know.
The entire assassination process took less than a second - it was only then that the left hand, which had been severed by Shikawa Xiu, "snapped" and fell to the ground.
Shikawa withdrew the knife, and Sterling stepped back. They were all battle-hardened warriors, not that they hadn't killed anyone before--they just used this kind of sneak attack and bullying the widows, but they were very good--in short, they didn't want to meet Lei Xun's big eyes!
Di Lin looked very relaxed, wiped the blood on the sword with Lei Xun's clothes, and laughed in a low voice: "What is the first master, we slaughter it like a chicken-look at him, he will not be blinded!"
Sterling whispered: "Retribution!" Deputy Commander Dre and Deco Banner should be able to rest in peace." ”
"Hey, Sterling, don't curse me - I killed Deco, and you let him rest in peace, wouldn't you..."
Sterling glanced at him and didn't answer: the boy's death had always been a thorn in Sterling's heart...
※※※
Zichuan Xiu listened to the movement at the door of the office, turned around and said, "I haven't found it outside." ”
The three of them all breathed a sigh of relief: this is the headquarters of the zhōngyāng army, and just now Lei Xun even let out a little scream or the slightest sound of fighting came out - the masters of the zhōngyāng army are like clouds, and no matter how good their martial arts are, they can't kill them.
The next thing is easy: put Lei Xun's body in the iron box, wipe the blood stains of the fight - this is easy, because under Stirling's icy true qi, the blood in Lei Xun's body froze before it could flow out, pry open the desk cabinet, find the commander's seal and the troop transfer charm of the zhōngyāng army - there are still many banknotes and valuable treasures in the secret cabinet, of course someone will not be polite, but Stirling stops him and says, "Don't! We didn't kill Lei Xun for personal vendetta - you insulted our actions by doing so!"
Zichuan Xiu replied solemnly: "Yes." "I put it back - I secretly left half of it.
The three of them swaggered out against the iron box, and no one questioned them - Di Lin walked in front with an arrogant look, who would dare to come to find trouble.
※※※
After leaving the headquarters of the zhōngyāng army, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief together, only to find that the sweat had soaked through the thick uniform behind them.
The streets are sparsely populated and lonely, apparently because curfew is approaching.
"We're going to split up!"
Sterling looked at Zichuan Xiu uneasily: "Ah Xiu, your work is the most dangerous, why don't you be responsible for commanding the Praetorian Guard, let me come..."
Di Lin also nodded: "I also think Ah Xiu is too risky - let me come, I am Yang Minghua's cronies, they will not suspect me for a while..."
"No need!" Zi Chuanxiu said to Sterling: "Second brother, you are the mainstay of the Praetorian Guard, tonight Yang Minghua is going to attack the Governor's Mansion - there can't be no shortage of you!"
"Big brother, the 50,000 Far Eastern Army is under your command alone—you can't leave. ”
"So, I'm the only one who can do it. ”
"Big brother, you have to remember: the red light is the order! When you see three red lights lit up at the head of the city, you will immediately lead the troops to kill them!"
The three of them shook hands tightly: "See you tomorrow!" -- this is a very common farewell sentence, but can these three brothers, who have their own missions and are not simple, really see the sun rise at dawn tomorrow together?
Sterling finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Ah Xiu, do you have anything you want me to tell Miss Ning?
Zichuan Xiu thought for a while: "Some of them...
"You told her not to wear that kind of miniskirt anymore, her figure is like a spear and firewood, not at all xìng, not suitable, and ah, tomorrow morning when I go home and ask her to boil egg porridge for me to eat - put more eggs, don't always be a ton of rice, a ton of water and an egg, I will eat so much that I am out of the birds... Hey, big brother, where are you two going, I haven't finished explaining yet: tell her to return the hidden Huang Sè books to me, otherwise I'm really not polite to her! I mean really..."
