Chapter 50: Assassination
"The prince of Chu is going to lose."
"No, then Ye Qinghuan is losing and retreating, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a winner."
Xiao Jinghong stood far away, watching the fight back and forth in the distance. Meng Duanzhang is now watching behind Xiao Jinghong.
"The prince of Chu has good kung fu, and his time in the army is not in vain, and every move and style has the power to kill. Simple and direct, they are all killer moves, and they faintly have the momentum of the King of Chu. Meng Duanzhang commented.
"What about Ye Qinghuan?" Xiao Jinghong asked.
Meng Duanzhang opened his mouth, and then thought for a while before he spoke: "The person who can become the top of the first list doesn't need me to praise him."
Xiao Jinghong was surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made a lot of sense. "The reopening of the first list three years ago was shocking, and Ye Qinghuan, Bai Yu, and Yan Qingyi became famous for a while. And Ye Qinghuan practiced on Tiandao Mountain all year round, Yan Qingyi refused to be rewarded and disappeared. Only Bai Yu served in the court, and no one could compare with him for three years. I want to see if when Bai Yu comes back to Ye Qinghuan, the first and second of the year's first and second list will be re-ranked. ”
The two of them fought from the third floor to the courtyard of the back room of Baiweiju, Xiang Jinghao's fists flowed with true qi, and his moves were vicious and fast, if the opponent was an ordinary person, he would not be able to support it for a long time, but the opponent was Ye Qinghuan
Ye Qinghuan only thought of Li Haomiao's words. Xiang Jinghao is a good opponent, just enough for Ye Qinghuan to deal with with it with a shallow palm technique.
Xiang Jinghao, who had been unable to attack for a long time, was very distressed.
"Almost." The sound came from nowhere, and after the words dissipated, Xiang Jinghao suddenly felt an extremely strong force coming from the tiger's claws, making him feel as if he was in front of the monstrous waves.
Rumble!
The illusion-like flood in his eyes dissipated, and Xiang Jinghao's body fell backwards and hit the pillar directly. A sullen breath swam across Xiang Jinghao's chest. First he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, and then coughed for a long time before slowly calming down.
Ye Qinghuan stood like this, he felt a lot. If it weren't for Yu Zhi, he would still want to continue the trial.
Xiang Jinghao wiped the blood on the corners of his mouth, his cheeks moved again, and he spit out thick blood-red saliva, and said: Who are you? ”
Ye Qinghuan turned around and left, and then he turned around and said, "Ye Qinghuan." Now that he understands in his heart, he vaguely understands Li Haomiao's guidance, and all this is thanks to Xiang Jinghao's sparring partner.
"Don't go, fight again." Xiang Jinghao stepped out and reached out to grab Ye Qinghuan's shoulder. This is the clavicle hand control of the military martial arts. If Ye Qinghuan took another step, his shoulders would be crushed.
"You're a sneak attack." Qiu Ruoruo shouted. Voices echoed through the hallway.
Xiang Jinghao sneered and did not defend himself. There is no such thing as a sneak attack in the army, and there is no word for a sneak attack in the 36 plans, and some are just surprise attacks.
"Ye Qinghuan, fight me again." Xiang Jinghao's eyes were full of fighting flames. He doesn't think he's lost.
Ye Qinghuan frowned, thinking about not wasting time.
"Whatever you fight, if you fight a hundred more games, you will also lose." With the sound of footsteps, Yu Zhi came down the stairs. Then he said to Ye Qinghuan: "Let's go." I'm not in the mood to eat. ”
Hearing this, Ye Qinghuan's shoulders twisted, and he instantly broke free from Xiang Jinghao's palm. He had encountered many grappling techniques, but the clavicle hand was not the most skillful.
After Yu Zhi and the others left, Xiao Jinghong walked down from upstairs, stood beside Xiang Jinghao, and said, "Yu Mingming's voice stinks. However, there are Ye Qinghuan and Qiu Ruoruo by his side, and we don't have a good way to move him for the time being. ”
Xiang Jinghao walked upstairs, and Xiao Jinghong also followed quickly.
"Brother, can't I do anything?"
"Don't you know that Yu Zhi is missing in King Zhao's mansion, if your sister comes to my Zhao Mansion every day to chat with me. I heard that Ye Qinghuan was also blocked at the door of the door of the Hubu Shangshu. Xiao Jinghong smiled bitterly.
"My brother is the son of the world, why is he still blocked by Qiu Ruoruo's little girl?" Xiang Jinghao said suspiciously.
Xiao Jinghong smiled bitterly, "The Qiu family only has such a daughter. Mrs. Qiu didn't say it, just Qiu Yu was extremely spoiled by Qiu Ruoruo. The year before last, I don't know which family's son-in-law got drunk and teased Qiu Ruoruo on the street. Later, he was never seen again in the streets of Kyoto. ”
Xiang Jinghao didn't think there was anything great about the Qiu family. "Brother, there is no waste under the command of the third prince. So I'll take care of my brother's vote for you. ”
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Xiao Jinghong felt that Xiang Jinghao's eyes were all on his body.
"Brother killed Yu Zhi and vented his evil anger for me, okay?"
Xiang Jinghao's murder is not a difficult thing, nor is it an uncommon thing. He killed many people in the army, all of them were rogue bandits, as well as the troubled villagers in the local state capital. With his identity, he doesn't care about the identities of these people, and he will kill them if he doesn't like them.
However, Yu Zhi ......
Xiao Jinghong smiled bitterly again and said to him: "Brother Jinghao, don't embarrass your brother." Although Yu Zhi has no power or power, after all, there is a Qiu Ruoruo to protect him, how can I kill him? ”
Xiang Jinghao looked serious, sat in the room, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine that had not yet been spilled. "If you can't do this well. How could the Third Prince need you? ”
After speaking, Xiang Jinghao took a bite of food and said goodbye. "Thank you, brother, for your hospitality."
Xiao Jinghong sat in the chair in a daze and was silent for a long time, and then everyone heard a crackling sound from the room dedicated to the prince of Zhao.
When the shopkeeper heard the sound, he felt distressed that these plates and cups were also valuable objects.
……
Soon, there were new rumors in Kyoto. Xiang Jinghao and Ye Qinghuan, the sons of the King of Chu, made a move and failed miserably.
The word fiasco is outrageous. The three of them became tigers, and these rumors became more and more outrageous. No one is going to demand the truth, it's just a joke and an after-dinner conversation.
"You're in the limelight." Yu Zhi was eating oranges, with some resentment on his face. He thought that if he let Ye Qinghuan make a move every time, when would he be able to wash his reputation?
Ye Qinghuan was silent, holding a white cloth in his hand and wiping the long sword. Qiu Ruoruo smiled on the side: "How can Brother Xiaoyu be famous when he hides behind him every time?"
The second negotiation took place two days later, on the last day of the year. In the afternoon, Yu Zhi slipped out of Kyoto alone. I haven't seen that young lady in the past few days, and Yu Zhi misses it tightly.
At the West City Gate, Yu Zhi still met Wang Dafu. Yu Zhi viciously warned Wang Dafu not to reveal his whereabouts, and borrowed a horse from Wang Dafu by the way.
In the mountains outside Kyoto lives a girl who makes Yu Zhichao think about it. Before the man arrived, his heart was already running to that place.
There are a lot of cars and horses coming and going in Kyoto for ten miles, and Yu Zhi does not dare to gallop. By the time we entered the mountain, it was already mid-afternoon.
The mountain road is difficult.
When Yu Zhi passed by a forest, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Whoosh.
Several sharp arrows suddenly burst out of the gloomy mountain forest. The sound of the arrows was soft, faint like a mosquito. Fortunately, Yu Zhi's ear power is amazing, coupled with Li Haomiao's harsh training.
When he heard the sound, Yu Zhi immediately identified the direction, turned over and dismounted and hid in the mountains and forests. Then I heard the horse's wail.
"Holy!" Yu Zhi scolded angrily in his heart. This is the horse he borrowed from Wang Dafu, how was it hunted. Yu Zhi thought about how to pay for his shyness.
Thinking about it like this, Yu Zhi felt that the guy who put cold arrows in the dark forest on the opposite side was even more hateful.
"Bai Li is still Xiang Jinghao, or is it the guy behind the scenes?" Yu Zhi conjecture. These three people were the only ones in Kyoto who had a holiday with him. Yu Zhi could understand the first two, but the mysterious person behind the curtain made Yu Zhi unable to figure it out.
Rumble!
An arrow shot at the big tree where Yu Zhi was hiding. The trunk of the tree, which needed to be surrounded by one person, instantly exploded in half, and countless sawdust flew in the air.
"Archers who have at least six armor piercing grades." Yu Zhi exclaimed. In the face of such an opponent, Yu Zhi didn't think much about it, only to escape. Li Haomiao once said that he is really angry and has three grades. Even if he is a real armor-piercing fifth-grade cultivator, he doesn't dare to compete with a sixth-grade archer.
Ye Qinghuan may be able to try to find the other party and kill the other party.
But Yu Zhi thought about it carefully, and the safest way was to run. The best of the thirty-six schemes.
In the mountains and forests, the bushes are overgrown, and the roads are difficult to distinguish. Some thorny plants kept sticking out their branches and hooking on Yu Zhi's clothes. Footprints were made on the muddy ground.
Sou!
Arrows that shimmered with the icy glow of the winter sun kept flying from the shadows. Yu Zhi had no choice but to constantly change positions and hide himself behind one big tree after another.
Until now, Yu Zhi still hasn't been able to identify the other party's location. It takes more courage to face a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows than to face a tiger.
"Who sent you? Bai Li, the prince of Chu, or the master of your family? Yu Zhi said. For the mysterious person behind the scenes, Yu Zhi doesn't know what to call it.
The other party did not respond. This made Yu Zhi's heart tighten, and he suddenly realized that the voice he spoke just now had revealed his position.
Sure enough, a cold arrow instantly pierced the big tree behind Yu Zhi, and then his shoulder.
The cold wind in the mountains and forests blew on Yu Zhi's forehead, like a needle prick. Yu Zhi broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that he had just let go of a big mistake. However, the mistake is irreparable.
Perhaps, at the cost of his life.
The arrows pinned him firmly to the trunk of the tree, making it impossible for him to move. Yu Zhi couldn't care so much, the arrow pierced through the instant, he put his feet against the trunk of the tree, and the arrow came out of the trunk with a loud leap, and the severe pain in his right shoulder made him faint.
At this time, Yu Zhi's face was pale, and he didn't have time to writhe on the ground, and immediately rushed to the deeper mountain forest.
"Damn." Yu Zhi thought to himself. The arrows on their bodies pay for their stupidity. His speed slowed down a lot, and he knew that if he did this, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the other party. But he didn't dare to stop, and like a headless fly, he just burrowed deeper into the jungle.
In the mountains and forests, there is only one person, and the sound of the branches of the trees also shows that there is only one person here.
