Chapter 27: Murder at Night

At night, the autumn breeze is blowing.

It's a good season to cut off heads, and the wind at night is a little restless.

The wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground.

It was as if mixed with crying.

Cao Zhi lay in the study, for some reason, today's night was extraordinarily long, he tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

When the terrible wind blew outside again, Cao Zhi couldn't help it.

He had always been a nostalgic person, and he had finally become familiar with the dormitory here, and now he was trapped in this study, and he could not sleep despite the bedding.

He crept to his feet and crept to the door.

"Outside the door, I want to go back to the temple to rest!"

Cao Zhi cleared his throat and spoke.

But there was no reply from outside the door.

Cao Zhi spoke again and said, "I can't sleep here!" I have to go back! ”

Despite his tough attitude, it was still quiet outside.

Cao Zhi finally couldn't help it, and he slammed the door open.

"Huh??"

There was no one outside the door.

The two armorers were nowhere to be found.

Cao Zhi was overjoyed, and was about to walk towards his dormitory, but after taking a few steps, he hesitated.

Something is wrong.

That Gong Sha Hong clearly let the armor soldiers look at him and not leave, he is not only two armorers, he can take turns to change guards, how can there be no one?

Cao Zhi returned to the study vigilantly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

He took a deep breath and hurriedly picked up the sword hanging on the wall, holding it in his hand, which seemed to give him some courage.

"King~~~"

I don't know how long it took, but there was a soft cry outside the door.

Cao Zhi was terrified to the extreme, he hid by the door, his eyes widened, staring at the door, but he didn't answer.

"King~~~"

The shouts came again, but Cao Zhi still didn't answer.

In such a quiet night, none of his subordinates were there, but suddenly someone began to call him, Cao Zhi only felt creepy for a moment, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Click"

Someone pushed the door open.

"Ahh

Cao Zhi roared angrily and crashed out directly.

The two collided and let out a muffled snort, and the man immediately fell to the ground, and Cao Zhi pressed on top of him.

It was at this moment that Cao Zhi saw the situation outside.

In the faint moonlight, there were dozens of people standing outside the study, all burly and strong.

Cao Zhi jumped up, held his long sword, and aimed it at these people.

"Who are you?!"

"Someone!!"

"Thief Assassin King!!"

Cao Zhi used his maximum volume.

And the person who had just been pressed under him was terrified at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Catch him!" Don't hurt him! Catch!! ”

The strong men immediately pounced.

Cao Zhi directly waved the sword in his hand, but these people were not afraid at all, they attacked with their bare hands, even if they were cut by the sword, they didn't care, Cao Zhi began to dodge frantically.

Cao Zhi's martial arts are very good, he has been burly and powerful since he was a child, and he is good at riding and shooting, and his swordsmanship has never been abandoned.

At this moment, it came in handy.

In the midst of everyone's encirclement, Cao Zhi constantly resisted, he ran around, turning back from time to time to cut down one.

There was a lot of movement in the palace.

It's just that no one seems to hear the movement here at all, and no one cares about the situation here.

Cao Zhi finally couldn't bear it, there were too many people on the other side, even if it was with bare hands, when they rushed from all directions, Cao Zhi couldn't deal with each of them, someone took the opportunity to snatch the sword in his hand, and the rest directly pressed him under him.

"Don't hurt him!! Don't hurt him!! ”

Liu Jun was so anxious at the moment that he jumped to his feet.

Those people quickly tied up Cao Zhi with ropes, and Cao Zhi gasped and was tied up by them as a cow or sheep.

Cao Zhi raised his head and looked at the young junior in front of him.

The man saw that he was subdued and waved his hand into the distance, and Cao Zhi saw someone running over with something.

Cao Zhi suddenly understood.

Poison.

Is it any wonder that he said not to hurt himself, he wanted to use poisoned wine to fake the illusion of suicide? Afraid that if you have injuries on your body, you will be found out?

Cao Zhi suddenly laughed.

"Hey!"

He shouted at the afterlife.

Liu Jun looked at him in astonishment, and saw Cao Zhi raise his head and hit his head on the ground.

Without waiting for everyone to notice, he smashed it several times in a row.

Directly with his own face to the ground a few close contacts.

When the samurai grabbed his head, Cao Zhi's face was already dripping with blood.

Cao Zhi laughed, blood still gushing out of the corners of his mouth.

"Even if I'm dead, I'm going to ruin your!"

Liu Jun looked at this scene blankly, jumping to his feet angrily.

He stepped forward and wanted to give Cao Zhi a kick, but he still held back.

He sneered, "Do you really think I can't do it?" ”

"I originally wanted you to suffer less, since you insist on doing so, then don't blame me, come on, tie him up in the study for me!"

He looked at the man in the distance again, "Throw away the poisonous wine, fetch me oil to burn the grass, and it would be good to commit suicide by arson." ”

Cao Zhi was furious, and he scolded.

"Beast, I'll be your mother!"

Immediately, a samurai dragged him into the study, but this time, they no longer worried about hurting Cao Zhi, tied him to his limbs, and after throwing him in the study, they began to put books, bedding and other things beside Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi was still scolding, so the warriors gagged him again.

When everyone was busy, Cao Zhi's surroundings were already full of all kinds of combustibles.

Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and stared at the man viciously, not afraid.

Liu Jun sneered, took the torch, and said as he walked: "Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi, there is so much land in Jibei, why are you so anxious to ask for death if you have to compete with our family?" ”

"Dare to hurt the people of my family, dare to insult my clan father"

"Cao Zhi, let's go!!"

"Whoosh~~~"

"Poof!"

Liu Jun trembled, and he slowly lowered his head.

Seeing arrows coming out of his chest, and there were blood stains, he stared at Cao Zhi in front of him, and wanted to say something, but he didn't have time to speak, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The samurai were startled and hurriedly turned back.

"Inuin! Naigong asked you to shoot his hand, but he didn't let him shoot through!! With your archery skills, I will drag you to death by hanging on the horse's leg when I go back!! ”

There was invective in the distance, and within a moment, the arrows kept flying.

The samurai didn't have time to react, and they quickly fell one by one.

Cao Zhi watched the fallen torch slowly ignite the futon in the distance, his eyes widened, and he kept humming.

As the arrows flew, the samurai fell one by one, and soon no one was standing anymore.

Only at this time did I see a burly armored general walking into this place surrounded by everyone.

The person who came was Hu Zun.

Hu Zun was grabbing the back of someone's neck at the moment, shaking wildly.

The man was a head taller than Hu Zun, but he was obedient like a grandson in front of him, allowing Hu Zun to be bullied like this, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Cao Zhi's eyes widened, watching the flames approaching him, and then he raised his head again, humming even more desperately.

Hu Zun was still scolding: "You shot everyone to death, how can we find the culprit?" ”

"If you can't shoot, just tell the old man! The old man will come by himself, look at you idiot!! ”

The man explained: "The night is too dark for me to see"

"Oh, it's all!"

Hu Zun walked to Liu Jun's side and looked at him with his head down, "This person is just a petty official, how can he have the guts to murder the princes and kings?" ”

"It's a pity, the dead man in the audience, he is the only one who can pry his mouth open, so he will shoot you directly."

Cao Zhi looked at the flame that was about to burn him, and struggled even harder.

"What's your name?!"

Hu Zun raised his foot, stepped on the fire in front of Cao Zhi, lowered his head, and asked menacingly.

At that moment, Cao Zhi only felt paralyzed.

It was at this time that footsteps could be heard in the distance.

"What's wrong?! What's wrong? ”

Seeing Jibei Xianggong Sha Hong rushing in with a group of people in a hurry, Hu Zun glanced over there, and then walked over with a sneer, but the reprimanded person came to untie the rope on Cao Zhi's body.

"Meet the General!!"

The moment Gong Shahong saw Hu Zun, his face was already as pale as paper, and he hurriedly saluted.

Hu Zun looked at him, "Where are you from?" Pretty fast, huh? ”

"General, I heard that someone stormed the city"

"Oh yes."

When Hu Zun was talking to Gong Shahong, Cao Zhi was also taken down from his mouth, and he looked at the generals on the side gratefully.

"Thank you, thank you."

"The king doesn't have to say thank you."

The man helped Cao Zhi up, and the two looked into the distance together, Hu Zun was still talking to Gong Shahong.

Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and said coldly: "This thief is in a gang with the people who murdered me, if it weren't for your divine shot, I would not have died in the hands of these thieves." ”

The man shook his head, "With the general here, you'll be fine." ”

Cao Zhi listened to Hu Zun's roar, and was about to speak, when he heard Hu Zun pointing to the generals beside him.

"Get out of here!"

The general hurried over, heard Hu Zun shouting again, waved his hand at him, and the man hurried back to Cao Zhi's side.

Cao Zhi looked at him, a little puzzled, "The general is a dignified tiger general, how can he be humiliated like this by General Hu?!" ”

He was embarrassed to say it directly, this Hu Zunxun person is really like training his grandson.

The general sighed and did not speak.

Gong Shahong testified at this moment.

"General Hu, I know this person! This person is the person of the Liu family!! It was his family who had a dispute with King Jibei before! ”

"It seems that the people of the Liu family want to murder the king of Jibei!"

"Thanks to the General"

As Gong Shahong was talking, a rough and huge slap was rounded and slapped his face, and Gong Shahong spun around with the slap, and then fell to the ground.

Hu Zun put away his slap and scolded: "Dog, it's stupid to be an old man?!" ”

"Come on, arrest this guy for me, and then send someone to arrest the people of the Liu family for me too!!"

"Only !!"
