Chapter Ninety-Eight: Nailed to the Forehead Plaque (2nd Watch)
After a thunderous explosion, Mulan, who had been sitting at the table as if in deep thought, slowly raised her head, and her slightly indifferent eyes seemed to suddenly burst into a light as bright as stars at this moment.
Qin Ke only felt that the wind in his ears was whistling like a dragon's roar, and in an instant, that black thunder light hit the assassin in mid-air, and he didn't even have time to let out a wail, and the huge force took him to fly diagonally, and the eunuch robe on his body made a desperate tearing sound.
Then there was a loud bang.
On the throne of the lord of the small country, there was a plaque hanging high above his head, which had been passed down from the state of Wu to the present day, and it had gone through a hundred years.
At this moment, the assassin was in a state of embarrassment, and a long wooden spear with black lacquer pierced through his chest, the head of which was deeply pierced into the plaque as wide as a few people and half a person thick, and the residual strength made the tail of the spear still tremble.
Blood flowed slowly down the barrel of the spear and finally dripped onto the throne where the little lord was sitting, and the assassin opened his mouth, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest, and he let out a "ho...... Ho ......" voice, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say it, let out a long breath, and died.
For a moment, the hall fell into absolute silence, and only the sound of blood dripping still continued in everyone's ears.
The little lord finally reacted, screamed, and stumbled to his feet, but because he was in a hurry, he stepped on the empty steps and rolled down with a thud. The old eunuch's usual tranquility and tranquility finally broke through, and he helped the little lord to get up in a bit of a panic.
Qin Ke finally eased up, it was the first time he had seen a person crucified like this, he only felt a chill in his vest, a faint pain in his chest, and said, "My mother, ......"
And Abu, who was beside him, had a pale face, looked at the spear, and seemed to notice that something was wrong.
This...... It seems to be the spear when he was practicing martial arts with Su Dingfang just now? Looking at the black lacquer barrel, there are still traces of Su Dingfang's war knife cutting on it, he finally recalled, naturally it is impossible to be wrong.
And Liu De and Mulan looked outside the hall at the same time, in the entire hall, they were the first to sense the black spear, outside the hall, there was a figure with his back to the afterglow of the setting sun, striding into the hall.
Although the shadows made his face unrecognizable, both of them guessed his identity.
"It's Brother Changgong!"
Abu was a little excited, but he didn't dare to shout on such an occasion, so he swallowed it back into his stomach so hard that it sounded like a wild cat purring.
Qin Ke also saw that the person who came was Gao Changgong, and his heart was relieved, and he lay down on the ground softly, and he simply didn't get up.
"Minister, Gao Changgong, the escort is late. Let the Assassin disturb the lord of the kingdom and ask him for forgiveness. Gao Changgong bowed his head and arched his hand, he entered the palace today, did not carry a portable weapon, and he was not in the main hall, there was still a short distance from the hall, the matter was urgent, he saw the spear just used to perform martial arts outside the main hall, so he drew a shot, and there was a thunder that was just thrown out of the arm......
Looking at the assassin who had been nailed to the plaque and had no breath, he raised his hand sharply, and the forbidden army rushing all the way outside the hall rushed in.
"Seal off the main hall, no one is allowed to go out. Gao Changgong said calmly, he looked at Zhuge Wanling, confirmed that he was safe and sound, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The crown on the head of the small country lord had been scattered all over the ground, and his forehead was even more bruised because of the bump, but he slapped away the hand that the old eunuch had nervously arranged for him, and hurriedly looked in one direction.
Zhuge Wanling had already stood up, although the assassin's dagger just now made his face a little pale, but he didn't leave any scars on his body after all, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, took the initiative to support Zhuge Wanling's arm, and said, "Father, are you okay?"
Zhuge Wanling shook his head, squatted down to sort out the clothes and crown for the little lord, wiped his cheeks with his sleeves, and said: "The minister is fine, but he was a little frightened, but it is the body of the lord of the country, so you should pay attention to take care." ”
The little country lord felt Zhuge Wanling's sleeves, and his heart was warm, but when he heard him say this, his face suddenly turned red.
He knew that his panicked appearance just now had fallen into Zhuge Wanling's eyes. What kind of system does the lord of a country become when he rolls down the steps in front of everyone? If this is spread, I am afraid that countless people will laugh at it.
But he didn't care much now, an innocent smile appeared on his immature face, and he muttered: "It's okay if Father Xiang's okay, it's okay if it's okay......"
The double-ring bronze armor door of the main hall slowly closed with the sound of armor colliding, and the darkness gradually shrouded the surroundings, leaving only the light of the fire candles in the hall still shining.
This assassination shocked everyone in the hall, especially Gao Changgong threw a spear and nailed the assassin to death on the plaque in the hall, which frightened many officials who had never seen the fierceness of the battlefield with weak legs.
There are even a few people who feel a warmth between their legs, so they can only twist and pinch their legs, trying not to show anything unusual.
Gao Changgong looked around, Zhu Ran had already transferred the three thousand forbidden troops to guard the palace, and the dozens of elites he brought had completely controlled the situation, even if there was still a master hiding in the scene, I believe that no one could please him from his subordinates.
Liu De looked at Gao Changgong and said with a smile: "General Gao." ”
Gao Changgong also saluted and said, "Liu ...... Strategist, thank you Strategist for your help......"
He is calling Liu De's official position in Canghai, although the official position of military division wine does not exist in Jingwu, but in Canghai, the military division wine can be said to be the chief strategist under Cao Meng, which shows that Cao Meng values Liu De.
"I didn't do anything. Liu De said with a smile, "It's all the great general Shenwei, the name of Jing Wu God of War, it's better to hear than to see." ”
"Prizes. Gao Changgong replied lightly, and then glanced at Mulan, with a faint joy in his eyes.
Several people greeted each other, but the chaos in the temple remained unresolved.
Although the assassin has been ambushed, but the forbidden army blockade of the main hall is the first time since the founding of Jing Wu that this kind of thing is terrifying, the assassin's blood is still flowing, the throne condenses a pool of blood, the forbidden army looks solemn, a black armor and the iron sword in their hands that is not unsheathed but has been steaming, which makes many officials very uneasy.
"General, since the assassin has been ambushed, why did he close the main hall? Since the lord of the country is safe, although the forbidden army is defending the royal city, after all, the aura of slaughter is too heavy, I am afraid that it will dilute the peace of this hall, right?"
Gao Changgong turned his head, and naturally recognized that it was the uncle of the lord of the country who spoke, thinking of the pickled things he had done in the lower reaches of the river this year, his eyes couldn't help but show a little disgust, and then it was playful.
Although he and Zhuge Wanling had already set a strategy for dealing with this person, after all, the time was still short and they had not had time to implement it. As a result, it was only the next day, and something like this happened in the palace. Could the Assassins be related to him, could they be his assignees?
After all, the matter of destroying the embankment and flooding the fields has already stabbed Zhuge Wanling, and the national law is unforgiving, not to mention whether his identity as the uncle of the lord of the country can be his talisman, even if Zhuge Wanling really spares his life, he must not let him shed his skin?
And this person, under the banner of "Jingwu Clan", has made a lot of money over the years, and enjoys the grace brought by his noble status, but he is afraid that he would rather die than give in. Just after thinking for a while, he shook his head again, although the uncle of this lord of the country has a special identity, but in the end...... It's just a clown, these two assassins' cultivation can be guests even in any clan, how can they serve such a villain who has no self-knowledge?
But when he looked at the few people who really knew how to protect themselves and hid in silence among the officials, his mood was also much heavier.
