Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Clever Scheme

The next day, the breeze was clear, the red sun rose slightly, and after a night of sleep, the earth gradually woke up, and a new day began.

At that time, Liu Bingzhong arranged a team of 100-man guards led by Dong Wenbing and Zhang Honggang to escort King Kublai Khan, however, the 100-man guards did not go to Fenghua Temple, but went in the opposite direction of Fenghua Temple.

The canopy of the luxury car, the king of Kublai Khan, who was pulled by two horses, drove forward under the escort of a team of elite soldiers, and the hanging curtain of the carriage was accompanied by jade beads embellished with grains, so that Kublai Khan, who was sitting in the car, derived a hazy domineering power.

Since the last assassination failed, the five killers of Juxian Pavilion have been stranded near Kublai Khan's camp in Ezhou, and have been looking for an opportunity to assassinate Kublai Khan again, and several people have taken turns outside the camp to monitor Kublai Khan's movements.

It was the grimace old monster who was on duty today, and when he saw Kublai Khan's king driving out of the camp, and saw the hazy figure on the chariot, he thought that he had waited for several days, and finally reached the goal, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and after remembering the direction in which Kublai Khan walked, he hurried back to report to the rest of the people.

Dong Wenbing and Zhang Honggang drove a high-headed horse to protect the king's side of the horse, the two of them were cautious all the way, and the guards behind were also cautious.

Since the last time Kublai Khan was assassinated, the guards have unconsciously developed a layer of cowardice in their hearts, and only a few days have passed since the incident, and this shadow has not yet dissipated in the hearts of the guards.

The old monster with the other four men rode in the direction of Kublai Khan's march and quickly pursued, but in a moment of incense, he bypassed Kublai Khan's guards and quickly set up an ambush in front of him.

According to the old rules, the old monster with a ghostface, Dao Tuo and Zhu Yunshi attacked head-on, and the holy hand of Xiao Lu was responsible for intercepting on the way back.

Dong Wenbing and Zhang Honggang led the men and horses step by step into the ambush circle of the grimace old monster.

Just when the guards were cautious, a sharp arrow suddenly shot at Kublai Khan's chariot, straight through the gauze curtain, and escaped from the other side.

This is what the grimace old monster has always done, but unfortunately, the arrow missed and failed to hit Kublai Khan.

Dong Wenbing immediately became alert and shouted: "Escort, escort." ”

Immediately, the shield soldiers quickly surrounded the carriage up and down, and the bow feathers lined up in the direction where the arrows were fired, and everyone was alert for a moment.

The old monster with a ghostly face, Dao Tuo and Zhu Yunshi immediately stepped forward, wanting to attack Kublai Khan's escort formation head-on, without fear, and had great ambitions to win.

Dong Wenbing ordered: "Release the arrow." ”

The bow feather team immediately released the arrows, but unfortunately, they couldn't stop the attack of the old monster and the other three people, and the arrows were easily dodged by the three of them.

Dong Wenbing saw that the three of them were getting closer and closer, so he hurriedly took out the flying thunder, pulled down the hand string, and a salute rose into the air, exploding in the air, and the sound suddenly sounded.

"Oh no, they've called for help, we need to deal with them quickly. The grimace cried,

Seeing that the three of them were getting closer and closer, the bow feather team immediately withdrew into the shield, and at the same time, the guards of the scimitar battalion poured out of the shield, and more than two dozen guards armed with scimitars struck at the old monster and the other three together.

Dong Wenbing immediately took the rest of the people to turn their horses and rush back, leaving dozens of people from the Scimitar Battalion to resist the menacing three.

These twenty or so guards are the opponents of the three people such as the grimace old monster, and it is not enough to stuff the teeth, but they were killed in a moment and only three people are left, these three people are afraid to confront each other, keep retreating, the scimitar in their hands is constantly shaking, and the eyes are full of horror, the grimace old monster and the other three people cross the three of them on horseback, and the three heads roll to the ground.

Dong Wenbing hurried back with the rest of the people, and after walking only a few hundred meters, he was forcibly stopped by the piano and flute ensemble of the holy hand of the pipe, and a bunch of people covered their ears and rolled in pain on the ground, constantly wailing.

After a while, Zhu Yunshi and the other three arrived, and when the Xiao Pipa Holy Hand saw the three approaching, he stopped playing.

Daotuo took the lead in flying to the top of King Kublai Khan's car, and split the frame in half with just one sword, which was very evil.

The man in the car suddenly appeared in front of him, spitting blood from his mouth, and he was already dead, and Dao Tuo looked at it and shouted: "It's not good, it's a trick." ”

It turned out that although the person in the car looked a little like Kublai Khan, he was not himself, and he had to say, 'Jiang is still old and spicy', Liu Bingzhong is really scheming.

The subtlety of this trick lies in the golden cicada's shell, however, the most difficult thing is to lure the killers of Juxian Pavilion into the bureau, witness Kublai Khan's death with his own eyes, and have to be convinced of Kublai Khan's death.

Liu Bingzhong set up this plan is really well-intentioned, extremely exquisite, first, use a stand-in to attract the attention of the killer, so as to attract today's visitors, to ensure that the killer can appear in Fenghua Temple, witness the death of Kublai Khan; second, to ensure the safety of Kublai Khan on the way to Fenghua Temple, since the last assassination, Liu Bingzhong knows that the killers are powerful, if they are targeted, I am afraid that the prince has not arrived at Fenghua Temple, on the way to encounter accidents, only to transfer the tiger away from the mountain to support the killer, is the safe way; third, the key to this plan is to grasp the time, only at the right time, the right place to make the right move can really play the effect of cheating deathThe signal flare released by General Dong Wenbing not only reminded Liu Bingzhong that he had indeed encountered the assassin, so that Kublai Khan could go to Fenghua Temple with peace of mind, but also helped Liu Bingzhong to pinch the time.

After seeing the flare, Liu Bingzhong estimated the time it would take for the Assassins to rush back, and immediately arranged for Kublai Khan to drive to Fenghua Temple, and ordered Zhang Rou and Zhang Hongyan to lead a hundred troops to escort them together.

Liu Bingzhong also specially told Dong Wenbing not to fight hard with the assassins, and fled when he had the opportunity, and explained a few other things.

Therefore, Dong Wenbing did not confront the three of them head-on, and when the three of them paid attention to the car, he and Zhang Honggang rode on a horse and fled, followed by dozens of soldiers who fled in embarrassment.

"Hahahaha, you are so stupid, you have fallen for my lord's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Dong Wenbing shouted loudly on the horse.

The grimace old monster saw the plan, listened to Dong Wenbing's banter, was very annoyed and angry, and saw a few slower soldiers, without saying a word, he picked up the bow and crossbow he carried with him, aimed at the leg of a soldier and shot straight at it.

The soldier was shot in the leg and fell to the ground, and the soldiers around him tried to help him up, but when he turned around and saw the ghost-faced old monster chasing after him on horseback, he did not dare to help him and hurried for his life.

The grimace old monster saw that Dong Wenbing had already run away and had already been tricked, so he didn't dare to continue to pursue Dong Wenbing.

The wounded soldier dragged his wounded leg and crawled forward with difficulty, leaving a long drag mark behind him.

The grimace monster, who had always been ruthless, was now furious at the teasing, and he rode up to the wounded soldier, dismounted, and kicked the soldier in the abdomen, turning him over.

Dao Tuo also came forward, and when he saw that the grimacing old monster was so grinding, he said impatiently, "Why don't you kill him with a single sword?" and raised his knife to split the wounded man in half.

The grimace old monster immediately stretched out his crutches to block Dao Tuo's wrist, "No, didn't you hear the leader say that we have fallen into a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?"

Dao Tuo was more stupid and didn't understand what the grimace old monster meant, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

The grimace explained: "Since the tiger is diverted from the mountain, then the real Kublai Khan must have something important to go out today, otherwise, why bother so much." ”

Dao Tuo immediately comprehended, and immediately pointed at the wounded soldier lying on the ground with a big knife, and asked sharply: "Tell me quickly, where is your prince?"

The wounded soldier put on an awe-inspiring look and replied loudly, "I don't know. ”

The grimace old monster was in a hurry, and he muttered: "It seems that you won't say anything if you don't let you suffer a little." Then he struck the cane on the arrow that was stuck in the wounded soldier's leg, and the arrow was inserted deeper into the wounded soldier's leg, so that he was afraid that it had penetrated the bones, so that the top of his head immediately sweated, his face wrinkled, his hands clenched tightly, and the green tendons were visibly raised, and he could not help but cry out in agony.

"Do you want to say it?" the grimace asked again, and was about to be executed again.

"I said, I said. "Where can the soldier bear it, and before the grimace old monster can do it again, he immediately compromises and begs for mercy.

"Say it quickly. The grimace pointed his cane at the wounded soldier and shouted,

The wounded soldier lowered his head and replied weakly: "Fenghua Temple." ”

The grimace old monster secretly thought to himself, Fenghua Temple was in the opposite direction, if it was to divert the tiger from the mountain, but it was reasonable, but he didn't know what Kublai Khan was doing there, so he asked loudly,

"What are you doing there?"

The wounded soldier was silent, unwilling to say more,

The grimace raised his cane again, intending to torture him again.

"Negotiate peace. The wounded soldier immediately shouted, and the grimace stopped and gathered his crutches in time.

"The commander of the Song army, Jia Rudao, secretly begged for peace with my prince, and my prince went to negotiate peace. The wounded soldier explained,

The grimace old monster was skeptical, and asked Zhu Yunshi and the others: "Do you think it is credible?"

Zhu Yunshi said: "Negotiating peace is a major matter of military aircraft, how can a small soldier know about it? I feel that there is fraud in it, and we should be careful." ”

The grimace old monster listened to the reason, then picked up his crutch and pointed at the wounded soldier again and said viciously: "How can you know such a major military incident?"

The wounded soldier replied: "I am the king's guards, every time I discuss the important affairs of the military aircraft, it is our guards who are on duty outside the camp tent, and that day the king held a military aircraft conference to discuss this matter, it was I who was on duty outside, and I overheard this matter, if you hadn't tortured me so much, I would never have said it, and I hope you will tell me the truth and spare my life, please." As he spoke, he forced himself to kowtow to the grimace old monster.

The grimace old monster looked at Zhu Yunshi and the others, and said: "I think this matter may be true, I heard that the day before yesterday, the king of Mo Nan attacked Ezhou City, killed and injured a lot, and almost killed a general, if the Song army took the initiative to sue for peace, the king of Mo Nan might think about this matter carefully, after all, our king of Mo Bei in Mo Bei put a lot of pressure on him, this point, the king of Mo Nan should know." ”

Dao Tuo didn't think about it so much, but said bluntly: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, if you go to Fenghua Temple, you won't know it, with our martial arts, they are only afraid of us, how can they deal with us." ”

Dao Tuo glanced at the key points of everyone, and the grimace old monster pondered carefully, and said: "Dao Tuo is right, if King Mo Nan wants to set up a situation to deal with us in Fenghua Temple, there is no need to divert the tiger from the mountain to lure us away, I think, he does have something important to go to Fenghua Temple, and he is afraid that we will be unfavorable to him on the road, so he uses this plan to transfer us away." ”

Zhu Yunshi frowned and said, "However, I always feel a little wrong. ”

Seeing that it was not a solution for everyone to discuss endlessly, for fear of missing the opportunity, he said in front of the five people: "It is better to believe it than not to believe it, we have missed an assassination, if we can't complete the task, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back." ”

Shangmen Sero hit the sore spot with his words, and everyone had no objections, so they decided to go to Fenghua Temple.

The five of them were afraid that they would be late and delayed, so they quickly jumped on the horse.

Before leaving, the grimaced old monster took out his crossbow, turned around on the horse's back, and shot an arrow at the figure lying in the grass, and the slightly convex figure collapsed to the ground, obscured by the tall grass.

The five of them spurred their horses and galloped towards Fenghua Temple.
