Chapter 61: Swallowing the Knife

The second arrow, the third arrow...... Shot again and again.

Although this arrow is far less wonderful than Huang Hansheng, it is unavoidable, but it is a little more terrifying and murderous.

Zhao Zheng dragged me to hide under a boulder, protected me behind me, and swung his spear to shoot arrows. The assassin hid in the middle of the trees, changing direction and shooting at me from different angles with a series of arrows. Although it didn't hurt me, Zhao Zheng, who was guarding me, had been hit by two arrows and blood flowed, but fortunately, the injury was not critical.

I was annoyed in my heart, I had taken precautions, but I never thought that this Taishou Mansion would be mixed with traitors. At this time, I am unarmed, if I bring Huang Quan to bring me a crossbow from my husband, even if I am not good at it, I can suppress the opponent's attack, how can I be in a situation of being passively beaten.

Soldiers were already rushing towards me in the distance, and I couldn't help but shout. The guards lined up in fans and flanked them. The first were Hesse and the Lee brothers, whom I had filled as guards. The distance of three or five hundred steps, even if it is uphill, it will not take half a column of incense time, as long as you hold on a little longer. What's more, the assassin has a limited number of arrows, and I hid behind the stone, and he naturally retreated after shooting the arrows.

Just as I was thinking, the Assassin threw down his bow and jumped out of the dense trees and charged at me. He even thought of killing me before Hesse and the others arrived.

He came so quickly, his body was like flying, he climbed over the boulder lightly, and swooped down like a strange bird.

Zhao Zheng stood up, handed out a single gun, and stabbed him in the chest like a long snake out of the water when he was in mid-air with nowhere to dodge.

The man was in mid-air, but he was calm and terrifying, let go of the gun, reached out and grabbed the barrel of the gun, and his body still kept rushing towards me.

Zhao Zheng had been instructed by Zhao Yun, although his strength was far less than that of Zhao Yun, but his moves were extremely stable, when he was not moving, the tip of the gun could not move for half an hour, and when he moved, he said that he would shake out seven gun heads, and he would never shake out only six. At this time, although the assassin's movements were as fast as a meteor, and he did not have time to change his moves, he was in danger, and the tip of the spear shook, and the large spear slashed the man's arm.

The man's movements were already extremely fast, he didn't expect Zhao Zheng to be fast, but he had such a subtle move, he was also taken aback, his body swayed in mid-air, and he turned across his body as if he had no weight, and one arm was even more like no bones, bending and flicking, and slapping it, he opened Zhao Zheng's spear and kicked it out, hitting Zhao Zheng's shoulder, and with a sound, Zhao Zheng's left arm was twisted.

I saw Zhao's muscles bulging when he ascended on the front, and I can imagine his pain at this time.

The man kicked Zhao Zheng down, and his body's progress was already blocked, and he fell to the ground. But he didn't stop, tiptoed, and lunged at me again, already holding a dagger in his hand. With nowhere to retreat, I reached for my waist, but I felt empty and found that I didn't even have a sword with me. I had to wait for death.

But hearing Zhao Zheng's roar, he turned over and grabbed the left foot of the assassin who swept past him with his still intact right hand. The assassin's dagger was less than three feet away from me, and I couldn't get any closer, and then slid out diagonally, but it was swept away by Zhao Zheng's one-arm arm.

The Assassin was in mid-air, spun in a circle like a windmill, put his foot on the rock, and flew back. Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth, suddenly put his body in front of me, and with a soft sound, the dagger had pierced into Zhao Zheng's chest.

I screamed, grabbed the spear that Zhao Zheng had thrown on the ground, and threw it at the assassin with my chuck. The assassin wanted to draw the dagger, but he caught Zhao Zheng's ribs and didn't pull it out. At this time, I smashed the spear on the top of his head, and his body suddenly lost his bones, and he leaned softly, avoided the head of the gun, and kicked his left foot straight over the top, and with a bang, he hit the barrel of the gun. My arms shook, and the gun flew away. At this moment, the assassin had already broken through, and Zhao Zheng rose to his strength and smashed his fist into the assassin's chest, knocking the assassin back several steps, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot.

By this time Hesse and the Lee brothers had arrived, and Hesse was in front of me, and the Lee brothers stabbed at the assassin with their swords raised. Seeing that the army had arrived, the assassin sneered: "Today is cheaper for you!" The figure flew up and swept towards the mountain.

I knew that behind this mountain was the back wall of the Taishou Mansion, and I hurriedly said: "Chase!" Kill him and avenge General Zhao! The Li brothers rushed out with someone.

I held Zhao Zheng in my arms, found that the dagger was right in the chest, and finally punched Zhao Zheng's mental strength, at which point he had already lost his breath.

Since I left Sun Shangxiang when I was seven years old, Zhao Zheng has been by my side for eight years on the order of my fourth uncle, accounting for more than half of my entire life. When I was a child, I used to bully him, and I liked to use my feet to kick him, but he just smiled loyally and didn't dodge. I remember the time I went to Hanzhong, in order to protect me, he was angry with Jiang Wei and others, and later the fourth uncle came to Hanzhong and hated him for not protecting him effectively, but he almost slashed him with a sword. His skills are not too high, but his loyalty, his rigor and meticulousness, have always won my respect, even if there are many people with high skills, I will use him as the leader of my guards. But today, he gave his life to protect me, and when the dagger was stuck in his chest, he didn't say a word, only the punch that he threw with all his strength and seriously injured the assassin.

Just do, don't say, his personality is very similar to the fourth uncle in many places, but he doesn't have the bravery of the fourth uncle, so he has no name for the rest of his life. But, in my heart, he is a hero.

I gently closed his eyes, wanting to cry, but I couldn't.

It was me and Ma Chao who hurt him.

The person who committed the assassination was Yan Yan's descendant. I'm sure!

Catch him and avenge Zhao Zheng! Anger burns in my heart, he is in the golden city, someone must give him an internal response, otherwise, where will he eat? Where does he sleep? How could he get into the Taishou Mansion?

Who is this internal response?

My eyes are bloodshot, and my reason is repeatedly washed away by the indignation of the fire tide, Zhao Zheng, dead, I want to avenge him!

My assassination caused the entire Taishou Mansion to be alarmed, and the handsome officials of all ministries were in chaos, Guan Ping rode his horse straight over in the mansion, and I said angrily: "Your duty is to catch the assassins, not to come and see me!" ”

Guan Ping had never seen me so angry, and when he was stunned, he lifted the reins, and the horse's front hooves were raised high, and he turned his head and roared angrily: "Little ones, follow me to catch the assassin and break him into ten thousand pieces!" He was about to leave, but was stopped by You Chu.

"Slow!"

"Slow?" I stared at You Chu, and said with a calm face for a long time: "You Chu, you come with me!" Uncle Meng Qi, Uncle Gongheng, Uncle Yan, you also come. ”

I handed over Zhao Zheng's body to the guards beside me and returned to my tent, but I was still panting, my stabbing was a major dereliction of duty on the part of the guards, but Zhao Zheng, who was directly responsible, died for me, I don't want to hold anyone accountable now, I only hate that assassin.

He killed Zhao Zheng, killed Zhao Zheng who had been with me for eight years! My heart is beating violently, and the big tendons in my head are collapsing, Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng, who has protected me safely in the quail's army of ten thousand horses, Zhao Zheng, who can rest assured if he hands over the matter, will die in front of my eyes!

I now fully understand my father's feelings when he learned of my second uncle's death. I only want to kill people now, I just want to mobilize all the military horses, sweep from door to door, and dig him out even if he hides in a rat hole.

My breath is like a wind in the tent, and I will give the order to search the golden city in a great way.

But You Chu said slowly!

Could it be him and the Assassin, no, no, no, impossible, this thought was thrown away by me in a flash, but the anger in my heart became more and more intense, and I just forced my eyes on him.

But You Chu couldn't help but be moved, and looked at me indifferently: "Shizi, don't mess up the overall situation of Jincheng because of a momentary anger!" ”

"The overall situation of Jincheng, the overall situation of Jincheng." With a clear mind, I whispered these two words, as if they could free me from my wrath. I know that as a person in charge, you should never make decisions when your head is hot, but if you want to calm down, how can you calm down? Zhao Zheng!

"Son, in the golden city, the undercurrent is turbulent, and the people's hearts are uncertain, we have done everything possible to settle the hearts of the people, and it will soon be the day of the oath, if we send an army because of this matter, the whole city will be arrested, and the city will be in chaos. The people are unbearable, and the guests are unbearable. I see that the direction of the assassin's escape is the place where the heroes and horses of various departments live, and the army suddenly goes forward, and the assassins are fishing in trouble, secretly stirring up, misunderstanding for a lifetime, and causing chaos, our efforts some time ago will be in vain! ”

I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. If you don't send troops, with the skills of the assassin, you will definitely be able to escape, and if you withdraw the troops, you will give up the capture of the assassin, and Zhao Zheng will die in vain. However, if there is a misunderstanding in the army, it will affect the Jincheng Alliance. How do I choose between the two?

"Could it be that Zhao Zheng's hatred can't be counted like this!"

You Chu said: "As the son of the world, you must always remain calm and restrained, not rash, and when it is critical, you must be able to swallow ice and eat fire and swallow knives!" ”

"Swallow ice, eat fire, swallow knife!" I repeated in a low voice, and only You Chu, who wandered all over the world, could say such vivid and vivid words, and only the uninhibited You Chu was willing to say such words in front of me.

I took a breath hard, looked around, and forced my voice to calm down: "Uncle Meng Qi, the order, the assassins are handed over to the government to arrest, the army should not be dispatched, inform the heroes of the ministry, some thieves, don't panic, I am also safe and sound." Tomorrow's meeting will continue as usual, and I will still preside over it. ”

The next few people nodded and withdrew. Huang Quan looked at me meaningfully and nodded. I knew he was affirming my decision, and I was more able to hold on to it than my father. But how did he know the pain in my heart at this time!

This knife is really not so easy to swallow.

Zhao Zheng, I can't live with you. If I hadn't gone to that pavilion, no matter how powerful the enemy was, he wouldn't have been able to get close to my tent, then you wouldn't have died. If I hadn't withdrawn my troops, I might have been able to capture the Assassins, and you wouldn't have died in vain.

But I can't.

Although I am the son of the world, I can't do it arbitrarily, my responsibilities are heavy and oppress me, I can't!

Zhao Zheng, can you forgive me?

Don't worry, after the alliance, even if you chase to the ends of the earth, I will avenge you. Assassin, you wait!

It was a long and painful knife, and I finally swallowed it.
