Chapter 159, Assassination
The two attendants opened the way, and Zhao Lu put his hands behind his back and walked into it leisurely.
However, he didn't go far before he saw a middle-aged man walking in front of him, the middle-aged man was dressed in a brown robe, fat and greasy, and his fat body swayed when he walked, leaning back and forth with the man's steps.
"It's full of brains. Wang Zixuan sneered in Lin Zheng's ear.
The fat middle-aged man walked up to Zhao Lu with his servant, and instead of saluting, he stood up straight and said arrogantly, "Young Master." ”
"Steward Huang. Zhao Lu saw that the fat man didn't even give a salute when he saw him, and immediately frowned: "Why don't you give a salute when you see me?"
"Young Master, I am the butler of the Zhao Mansion, isn't the separation of the word butler to manage the homeland? Steward Huang's whole body was so fat that his clothes were almost torn, and he said cheekily.
"Crazy words, I think you have eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard, and you dare to be that evil servant who bullies the master!" the red-cheeked entourage beside Zhao Lu pointed at Steward Huang and said angrily.
"Huh?" Steward Huang glared at the entourage with sharp eyes, clapped his hands, and immediately surrounded the housekeeper behind him: "The little entourage, too, dares to use his fingers to steward the housekeeper, beat him to death and throw it out to feed the dog." ”
After that, more than a dozen domestic servants, you look at me, I will look at you, and in the end, they were forced by Steward Huang's prostitution and rushed up with a big stick.
"Do it!" Zhao Lu immediately protected his entourage, helped him get a stick, and shouted loudly while snorting.
Ten cavalrymen left their horses in the courtyard, but even without horses, this small household servant could not beat the elite cavalry under Feipeng.
I saw that the soldiers stepped forward, and they didn't even use weapons, but they disarmed the servants and put them aside.
Seeing this, Steward Huang didn't panic, just looked at Zhao Lu with a sneer: "This soldier's combat strength is good, but even if the soldiers you ask for are strong, they are only eight hundred, in the face of the instant destruction of that army, do you really dare to touch me?"
Wang Zixuan and Lin Zheng, who were hiding in the rear, also looked at Zhao Lu, it was obvious that Zhao Lu had offended a person with military power in the court, and it was even likely that a great general would let him fall into such a field, but the two still wanted to see how Zhao Lu would choose.
Is it hidden in the sheath, or is it sharp?
"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, Zhao Lu will not be so fierce. Lin Zheng shook his head lightly and expressed his opinion.
"People change their minds because of circumstances. Wang Zixuan smiled mysteriously and stopped talking.
"Maybe he could, but he would never kill me because of you. Zhao Lu said, his eyes showed scarlet, and he turned around and pulled out his sword from the soldier's waist, and draped the sword on Steward Huang's shoulder.
Steward Huang didn't seem to expect Zhao Lu to kill himself personally, and was accidentally slashed on the shoulder by Zhao Lu with a sword, but fortunately, Zhao Lu had never practiced martial arts, and he didn't know how to use a sword at all, and this sword didn't even cut the fat on his body.
"You, you're crazy?!" Steward Huang shouted in panic: "You really killed me, you will only anger that person again, your fate is definitely worse than death!"
"That's a lot of nonsense. Zhao Lu drew his sword from Steward Huang's fat body, whether it was chopping or chopping, he beckoned towards Steward Huang indiscriminately.
Lin Zheng and the others watched silently from behind, this would not make Zhao Lu, who would not make the sword, actually smash Steward Huang to death with the sword body!
Zhao Lu gasped, returned the sword to the soldier, looked at his blood-stained robe, and laughed loudly, there was catharsis and pleasure in the laughter, and there was a sense of pleasure in it.
"What's going on with this Zhao Lu, what did you find?" Lin Zheng frowned and asked Wang Zixuan, where is Zhao Lu's crazy appearance as polite as before, he is completely a madman who is addicted to killing.
"Secret. "Wang Zixuan sold a pass, if he knew it too early, he would lose that kind of fun.
Lin Zheng didn't ask anymore, but looked at Zhao Lu, who was covered in blood, and put away the sword, and the sword that Zhao Lu got just now was his.
Zhao Lu ordered the soldiers to pack up the corpse and went into the depths of the mansion to change their clothes.
When he saw Zhao Lu again, Zhao Lu's whole body was clean and clean, and he returned to his polite appearance.
As soon as Zhao Lu appeared, he sat in the lobby, quite nervous and restless, as if he was waiting for some important person.
After an hour's effort, the door of Zhao's mansion was finally knocked, and after the entourage opened the door, a general wearing armor walked in, and the general strode over, Zhao Lu looked at this person vigilantly, because this person had a sword at his waist.
Xu saw Zhao Lu's vigilance, and the general put his right hand on the hilt of the sword.
For a while, the ten cavalry behind Zhao Lu were ready to move.
Seeing this, the general also took his hand away, and sat on the chair generously when he smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Uncle Zhao has a group of good hands." ”
He was the general of Qianniu Longwu of the Qi State, so he naturally knew what kind of elite the eight hundred cavalry that Zhao Lu brought back.
"It turns out that I am still the uncle of Qi State, and I forgot if the general didn't say it. Zhao Lu snorted coldly.
"Uncle Guo is Uncle Guo, whether it is the Qi State before or the Qi State after, it is the Uncle Guo. General Qianniu Longwu chuckled and said, "I saw that there were blood stains in the courtyard just now, presumably Steward Huang has been killed by you, right?"
"What if you kill it?" Zhao Lu's eyes showed a stronger sense of vigilance.
"Naturally, it's not. General Qianniu Longwu shook his head: "Uncle Zhao, your big fight is nothing more than to ask for one, your sister begged the adult, he decided to spare your life, you just need to admit your mistake, but you need to hand over the person who killed Steward Huang to me." ”
As he spoke, this person looked at Lin Zheng with fierce eyes, because Lin Zheng's sword had blood on it.
Everyone's eyes were on Zhao Lu.
Zhao Lu's whole body was relaxed when he heard this, he laughed twice and stood up: "It's funny, it's really funny! If you admit your mistake, give me a chance to live, the adults in your mouths are nothing more than the one who doesn't dare to offend Songzi City, it's better to leave me to survive than to offend him!"
"Uncle Zhao, the opportunity is in front of you, I hope you don't know how to lift. General Qianniu Longwu's eyes showed a dangerous look: "Even if it is really as you said, Songzi City is also seven days away from here, and he can't protect you." Besides, he is just a rebel of the Zhou Dynasty, and he is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, don't think that you have any thighs on the list. ”
"I won't give it to people, I won't admit my mistakes, if you want to kill or chop, if you have the ability, come here!" Zhao Lu understood that he had to step through this level no matter what, if he died at this step, then everything behind would become nothingness.
"Okay!" After hearing this, General Qianniu Longwu stood up: "There is a backbone, I hope you can maintain this backbone, this person killed Steward Huang, I will take it away!"
With that, General Qianniu Longwu's big hand grabbed towards Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng's eyes were cold, and he slapped the arm of General Qianniu Longwu with one palm, and then he didn't move.
Zhao Lu was originally shocked when he saw General Qianniu Longwu move, but he could see that his big hand was easily slapped away by the soldiers behind him, and he couldn't help laughing out loud after being stunned.
"The dignified Qianniu Longwu General, from the position of the third grade, is so useful, it really makes people laugh. Zhao Lu laughed sarcastically.
General Qianniu Longwu lost face, but he was not stupid, he knew that the person with blood on the sword in front of him was not simple, so he glared at Zhao Lu and ran away.
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Lu happily watched General Qianniu Longwu flee, and did not gradually stop until General Qianniu Longwu ran away.
"Tonight, there will be assassinations, and it is up to you. Zhao Lu stood up and looked back at the ten soldiers behind him, especially Lin Zheng after the disguise.
Solved Steward Huang and scared away General Qianniu Longwu, and no one visited the Zhao Mansion after that, until the night was dark, and the entire Zhao Mansion was silent.
Lin Zheng and Wang Zixuan were hiding in the shadows, whispering: "This Zhao Lu turned out to be the uncle of Qi Guoguo. ”
"Yes, his sister is the Pearl of Great Qi, and she is also the Empress of Great Qi, Empress Dowager He. Wang Zixuan did not hide it this time, but nodded and said.
"But that Qianniu Longwu General said that Zhao Lu was the uncle of the country in the previous Qi State, and the same is true in the later Qi State, does it mean that the Qi State has changed?" Lin Zheng keenly peeled back the cocoon from what the general said.
Wang Zixuan nodded with a smile, but he didn't say a word, and finally just said: "The situation in Qi Kingdom is much more interesting than you think, and it will be revealed soon." ”
Lin Zheng saw that Wang Zixuan still didn't say anything, nor did he ask questions, but stood up and tidied up the clothes on his body: "Ready, there is work to do." ”
"Leave the dirty work to me, and you can rest here for a while. Wang Zixuan held down Lin Zheng, smiled toothily and raised his sword and walked towards Zhao Lu's bedroom.
Lin Zheng knew that Wang Zixuan was afraid that he would force him to ask the person who came to stab, so he pouted helplessly and sat in place.
Suddenly, Lin Zheng noticed that there was an abnormality in the rear, and understood that it must be the strength shown during the day to make the other party alert and a stronger assassin was arranged, so he quietly stood up and followed the assassin all the way.
The assassin first hid on the roof, and had a bird's-eye view of Wang Zixuan's sword killing a group of masked people in the courtyard, seeing that Wang Zixuan was like a broken bamboo, and the masked people had no place at all, so he quietly took out a bamboo tube with the thickness of a finger from his arms and blew hard at Wang Zixuan.
There was a crisp sound, but the poisonous arrow hidden in the bamboo tube did not fly out, but hit a sharp sword blocking the mouth of the bamboo tube.
The assassin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and when he looked up along the sword, he saw Lin Zhengzheng looking at him with cold eyes.
The assassin did not sit still, but instantly drew his dagger and jumped backwards, but when he looked again, he found that Lin Zheng was no longer in front of him.
The next moment, the blade of the sword flashing with cold light leaked through the assassin's chest, and it turned out that Lin Zheng had already come behind the assassin at some point.
Outside the Zhao Mansion, General Qianniu Longwu was sitting in an inn room waiting, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, so he showed joy, stood up and went to open the door.
