Chapter 227: Bravely Entering the Assassination Mansion
In the west of Wuzhou City, the Wuhu River passes under the city, and on the city wall, more than a dozen Chu soldiers are standing solemnly in the corner.
There is a squad of 100 people, patrolling the vicinity, and every half hour, it will pass by here.
At this time, the patrol team had just left, and the dozen or so Chu soldiers guarding here were talking without a word.
"We originally came here to make meritorious contributions, but I didn't expect that now most of our comrades-in-arms have died, and we haven't caught any fart deeds, and we have been beaten up and urinated, and we are cowering here. ”
"Yes, this time, our Chu State is considered to have lost all its money, and most of the half-year expedition has been burned. ”
A young Chu soldier snorted and said, "It's not that our General Qin is incompetent, if General Dongfang is still here, how can he not fall into such a situation!"
"That's it, who in our whole army doesn't know that General Dongfang was forced away by General Qin, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Concubine Qin poured into His Majesty......" Someone immediately chimed in.
An elderly Chu soldier glared, "Don't talk about this, be careful of losing your life!" We are just ordinary soldiers, big people's affairs, where is our turn to talk about right and wrong!"
The young Chu Bing wrinkled his nose, but knowing that the old Chu Bing had good intentions, he didn't contradict it, but said in a somewhat sad tone: "I miss home......"
The others were also silent when they heard this, and the old Chu Bing even let out a sigh, at his age, he had long lost his dream of making meritorious contributions, just to earn that military salary for his family.
Once the success is ten thousand bones, whether they succeed or fail, these ordinary soldiers will always be just the white bones in the annals of history.
The old man whispered softly, "I hope this battle will end soon, my youngest son married a daughter-in-law a few years ago, and I don't know if he is pregnant with a cub now......"
At this moment, several figures suddenly rushed up the city wall.
"Who?" the veteran subconsciously turned his head, and then the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat - a bloody hole had appeared in his throat, and blood gushed out.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost at the same moment, this piece of city was shrouded in sword light, and more than a dozen young and old Chu soldiers were killed in an instant.
Ye Chong withdrew the Sun and Moon Shuangxuan, and nodded at Li Hui, Qin Wuyue, and Shen Qing'er who jumped onto the city wall together, and then they took off the armor of the group of Chu soldiers, and all the corpses were pushed into the Wuhu River outside the city.
In war, there is only the enemy and the enemy, and there is no room for mercy.
Ye Chong and the others didn't stop long, changed into the clothes and armor of the Chu soldiers, and then walked to the bottom of the city wall.
Wuzhou is the largest city on the border of the country, originally prosperous, is the place of trade and trade of nearby countries, now it is like a dead city, except for the Chu soldiers patrolling the streets, all the streets are deserted, and the people who survived the war in the city do not dare to go out.
Ye Chong and his group of four, wearing Chu soldiers' clothes and armor, turned left and right in the street, and finally came to the outside of the mansion where Qin Wudaunt temporarily lived as Lu Shan said.
This was originally the mansion of the Wuzhou Thorn History, and at this time it was already full of Chu soldiers inside and out.
Ye Chong and the others hid in an alley on the east side of the mansion.
"Lu Shan said he would come here at noon to wait for me. Ye Chong whispered to a few people: "Wait patiently here, don't be discovered, cause trouble, and startle snakes." ”
The cultivation of the four of them is not bad, but there are at least tens of thousands of Chu troops in this city, and they are still far from being truly rampant.
Time passed minute by minute, and noon passed quickly, but Lu Shan's figure did not appear for a long time.
"Now the guards outside the city should be ready to go, Lu Fatzi is too unreliable, at this time, he dares to miss the appointment!" Li Hui ran out of patience and couldn't help complaining.
Shen Qing'er and Qin Wuyue didn't make a sound, they followed up, not to assassinate Qin Wuxing together, but to disguise themselves as Chu troops, and when the guards attacked the city, they blended into the Chu army defending the city, and at the critical moment, opened the city gate. Li Hui was actually on the same mission, but now that the battle had not yet begun, they came here with Ye Chong to wait for Lu Shan. Who would have thought that after waiting for so long, Lu Shan did not appear.
Ye Chong muttered in a low voice, "Could something go wrong?"
"No, Fat Lu can't do anything else, his ability to escape is definitely unmatched, what trouble can he have?" Li Hui shook his head and pursed the corners of his mouth.
Ye Chong groaned slightly, and said: "In this way, you wait here, I will find a way to enter the Assassin's Mansion to see if there are any clues, if Lu Shan comes out, you will go with him to act, if the battle starts, he and I have not come back, you go directly to the city gate to do internal response, don't worry about us." ”
At this time, there seemed to be no better choice, so Ye Chong had no choice but to make such a decision.
Qin Wuyue said solemnly: "Then you be careful." ”
Ye Chong smiled and patted her arm, "Don't worry." ”
Then he jumped and appeared on the roof of the house above the alley, he ran the dragon leaping method, and in a few lifts, his body turned into a series of afterimages, rising and falling on the roofs of the rows of houses, and soon jumped to the kitchen of the Thorn Mansion.
The location of the kitchen is relatively remote in the Thorn Shi Mansion, and there are not too many Chu soldiers patrolling here, Ye Chong saw an appropriate time and quietly fell into the courtyard.
At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
Ye Chong hurriedly entered the kitchen, flew over the beam, and hid on the beam.
After a while, about a dozen people walked into the kitchen and looked at their costumes, among them, there were seven or eight soldiers with armor different from the Chu army, who should be Qin Wuxing's personal guards, and a few should be cooks.
Ye Chong couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable, the cook was just that, could those guards need so many people to come at one time? The most important thing is that it seems to be past lunch time now. Could it be that Qin Wuxing still has the habit of drinking afternoon tea?
I heard a soldier below say: "Make a fire to cook in a slippery way, the general seems to like the donkey meat roast at noon today, make a little more, the sooner the better, there must be no mistake!"
The people dressed as cooks nodded hurriedly, "Yes! Yes!"
Listening to the accent, these cooks should be locals, not Chu.
Ye Chong, who was above the beam, smiled a little bitterly, hearing this, it was Qin Wuxing who ate donkey meat for lunch, and then liked it very much, so let these local cooks cook a little more?
Qin Wuxing is a foodie?
At the moment of the army, this doesn't seem to be what a general should do.
Suddenly, Ye Conflict thought of a possibility, and was shocked, the person who wanted to eat donkey meat and burn it wouldn't be Lu Shan, right?
Thinking about it this way, it is really a little possible, Lu Shan should have appeared in the alley at noon and joined him, but he didn't appear, is it because he wanted to eat donkey meat here?
Is it that he has secretly controlled Qin Wuxing, or is it ...... was controlled by Qin Wuxing?
To say that he forgot the agreement with himself just for a few bites, Ye Chong still felt that it was unlikely, Lu Shan was just a foodie, and it was not two hundred and five!
Those guards had been guarding outside the kitchen, and Ye Chong finally understood that these guards were here to monitor whether these cooks would be poisoned, because this was a local cook, not a cook from their Chu State.
Ye Chong had been waiting on the beams of the house until there was a burst of aroma below, and Ye Chong felt a little hungry when he smelled it.
A few cooks handed the prepared donkey meat to the guards, their faces full of nervousness.
A man who seemed to be the leader of the group of guards took it and nodded, "You guys are guarding them here, and I'll take these to the general and ask if these are enough." ”
"Yes!" the others immediately responded, and the cooks must not be leaving for a while.
However, Ye Chong on the beam of the house was in a hurry, this group of people stayed down and didn't leave, how could he leave? Could it be that he was going to kill them all? Those cooks were ordinary people who defended the country!
Just then, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside, "Oh no! Oh no! The guards are starting to attack the city!"
"What!"
Several Chu soldiers in the room were shocked.
"Damn, these guards are crazy, they've been chasing us all the way, and now they're fighting again!"
"Alas, I don't know if this Wuzhou can be defended, if we can't hold it, we will be beaten back to our hometown directly. ”
"I want to go back to my hometown!"
"Don't talk nonsense, now General Qin has a sad face all day long, and everyone has lost weight, we can't mention him to share his worries, and we can't say such things, if the general hears it, he will have to cut you!"
“......”
Several people were talking, but with the hurried footsteps outside, the guards in the kitchen were a little stunned.
"So, I'll go out and see what's going on, and you're here to watch. One guy said.
"I don't think it's necessary, there are our people everywhere here, and these cooks won't run, let alone poison, and they're not here to die. ”
The words made the cooks shudder.
"That's not good, in this way, Li Gouzi, you are guarding them here, let's go out to see the situation, I estimate that the general will not want to eat anything, at this time, it may be necessary for us to go with him to the city gate to check the enemy's situation, and we will call you later." ”
In this way, the rest of the Chu soldiers also left, leaving only a guy named Li Gouzi who remained here.
"It's all you guys, fuck, the brothers who killed Lao Tzu are much dead!" The Li dog was singled, and turned his head to scold these cooks, "What do you see? I sue you, even if this Wuzhou can't hold it, before the master leaves, he will kill you, and kill a few more!"
As soon as his words fell, he saw the eyes of several cooks in front of him widen.
"Dare to glare at me?"
Li Gouzi raised a slap and was about to fan it like the cook in front of him.
The next moment, his hand paused in the air.
Then the hand that had stopped in the air shook and struggled.
A pair of hands climbed his head, twisted slightly, and heard a click, the sound of Li Gouzi's neck being twisted was extremely crisp, and then his body fell in the kitchen.
Ye Chong's figure appeared in front of the cooks.
The cooks' legs immediately trembled, and beads of sweat like soybeans flowed down their faces.
Ye Chong didn't explain much, "If you want to live, don't make a noise, hide this corpse at the bottom of the pot, if someone comes to ask, you say that he is gone." ”
After saying this, Ye Chong turned around and walked out of the kitchen, appearing in the Assassin's Mansion where Chu soldiers came and went, looking nervous and chaotic.
