Chapter 12: The Assassins

Zhou Wenlong came to the study, found a copy of the Warring States Policy, and flipped through it.

It wasn't until late at night that he got up and walked to the backyard.

Pushing open the door of the bedroom, Princess Luan Ye had already fallen asleep at this time.

Looking at the beauty with a jade body in the red bed curtain, Zhou Wenlong couldn't help but feel restless in his heart.

He took off his clothes, gently touched her cheek, and kissed her.

Suddenly, Princess Luan Ye woke up from her dream, and when she saw Zhou Wenlong, he immediately curled up in the corner, with a hint of panic in his eyes, "Donkey, donkey, are you going to beat me?" ”

Zhou Wenlong's originally happy mood was typed by him, and he was suddenly distracted.

Seeing that she is like a frightened little mouse, how can you bear to bully her?

Zhou Wenlong took off his coat, sat aside, and poured himself a cup of tea.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of a fight coming from the front yard.

"There are assassins!" Liu Xi shouted loudly, "Protect the prince." ”

When Zhou Wenlong heard this, he immediately took out a gun from his arms and hurried to the front yard.

Zhao Laosi was holding a flat pole in his hand and stood in front of the door, "What, don't panic, I will protect you." ”

He also protects himself?

With this hunched virtue, it's good not to protect him yourself.

pushed Zhao Si'er away, and Zhou Wenlong went straight to the front yard.

At this time, I saw Yang Zhi alone, with a knife, fighting five opponents.

And next to him, there was a man in black, carrying a dagger in his hand, who was watching the battle.

Zhou Wenlong secretly wondered in his heart, people who know martial arts know that an inch is long and an inch is strong, and an inch is short and an inch is dangerous.

This person is really strange, why is he holding a dagger?

"Be careful!" Liu Xi shouted.

I saw a man in black slashing at Yang Zhi's head with a knife.

"Smack." Zhou Wenlong fired without hesitation.

The bullet hit him in the head, knocking half of his brain away.

Suddenly, several people in black were all startled, and they all turned around and ran.

Bang bang bang.

Without hesitation, Zhou Wenlong fired several shots in a row, killing all the remaining four men in black.

At this time, the man in black who was watching the battle saw that something was wrong, and suddenly ran towards the wall next to him.

His kung fu was not weak, and his feet touched the ground with his hands, and he reached out and grabbed the edge of the wall.

Zhou Wenlong raised his gun without hesitation and snapped.

A shot was fired.

When he was about to fire a second shot, there were no bullets in the pistol.

When I ran to the wall, I saw a pool of blood left on the wall.

"Master, you are so skilled." Yang Zhi said with admiration on his face.

Zhou Wenlong waved his hand, "Chase." ”

Yang Zhi agreed and chased him over the wall.

Coming to the side of the corpses, Zhou Wenlong carefully examined the deceased.

I found that they all had a swallow on their blades.

The envoy of the Yan State sent someone to assassinate himself?

Zhou Wenlong thought in his heart, logically speaking, the princess of Yan Kingdom was humiliated in the Great Song Dynasty, and she should leave the Great Song Dynasty as quickly as possible.

How dare you send someone to kill someone?

Zhao Laosi came to Zhou Wenlong's side, "What, Lord Wang, there is someone I know." ”

Zhou Wenlong's pupils shrank, "Which one?" ”

"Which is the shortest of stature?" Zhao Laosi pointed to one of the corpses, "This person is my neighbor, and he is the catcher of the Imperial City Division." ”

Imperial City Division!

I don't know anyone from the Imperial City Division, why did I assassinate myself?

Could it be that he was instructed by Pu Ning?

Or, these people were bought by the Yan people?

Both of these people have motives and reasons for killing themselves.

It is not easy to verify whether it is Pu Ning's hand or not.

However, it was very easy to verify the envoy of the Yan Kingdom.

"Zhao Laosi, you are digging a pit now to bury these people, and instruct your subordinates not to make a noise about this matter." Zhou Wenlong advised.

"Yes." Zhao Laosi agreed.

The housekeeper Liu Xi said, "Lord, our palace should raise more families, and I will do it tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Zhou Wenlong nodded, "Tomorrow morning, you can help me prepare two fast horses." ”

Liu Xi said yes and turned to leave.

When he returned to the bedroom, he found that his wife was gone.

"Princess?" Zhou Wenlong shouted.

The table in the center of the room shook for a moment, and then I saw Princess Luan Ye crawling out from under the table.

"Lord Wang, I'm scared to death." Luan Ye's face turned pale and threw himself into his arms.

Gently patting her shoulder, Zhou Wenlong said in a low voice, "Don't worry, with me, I will definitely not let you suffer half a point of grievance." ”

Pulling her arm, she came to the bed, Zhou Wenlong helped her cover the quilt, and did not retreat from the room until she fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, the east gradually turned white.

Yang Zhi hurriedly entered the door, "Master, I'm back." ”

Pulling down the book in his hand, Zhou Wenlong asked, "Have you checked it out?" ”

"I'm ashamed." A touch of helplessness flashed on Yang Zhi's face, "I chased it to Suzaku Street and lost it." ”

"Go down and rest, and come out of the city with me after dawn." Zhou Wenlong said.

"Yes." Yang Zhi arched his hand and went down.

After dawn.

Zhou Wenlong followed Yang Zhi, quickly whipped up, and went straight to the south.

When it was dark, I came to a place called Peach Blossom Town.

Getting off the horse, Zhou Wenlong took a look at the imprints on the ground, and suddenly found a footprint the size of a plate.

This is not an elephant's footprint, and what is it?

Then he looked at an inn on the side of the road.

"Master, shall we live here?" Yang Zhi asked.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and today I rushed for another day.

He just couldn't hold on any longer.

"Okay." Zhou Wenlong agreed.

Yang Zhi entered the door and asked for two good guest rooms and some wine and meat.

In the room, after the two of them finished eating and drinking, Yang Zhi asked, "Master, what is the so-called matter for us to catch up in such a hurry?" ”

"Go and find out which room is where a woman lives." Zhou Wenlong said.

Woman?

Yang Zhi was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

I really didn't expect that the prince had been on the road for a day to chase a woman.

"Yes." Yang Zhi agreed and hurried out.

After two teas, Yang Zhi pushed open the door, "Master, room No. 1 is a woman." ”

"There's a guard at his door, though."

"You can just rest, I'll call you if there's something." Zhou Wenlong said.

Yang Zhi arched his hand, turned around and went back to sleep.

Coming out of the room, Zhou Wenlong went straight downstairs.

sub-hours.

Zhou Wenlong came out of the room and quietly slipped to the door of room No. 1.

He was about to push the door open when suddenly a steel knife was placed on his neck.

Suddenly, Zhou Wenlong's sweat pores all stood up.
