Chapter Eighty-Three: Siege
After the assassination, the female Assassin quickly arrived outside the city, while Aiqi and the other two women had been waiting for a long time.
"Big sister!" the female assassin shouted.
Aiqi nodded, "How is it?"
The female assassin untied the bag around her waist, "It's done, the head is here." β
It's just that when the four of them opened the bag and saw that it was actually a woman's head, it was not Lin Hezhi at all.
"How...... How could it be ......" The female assassin's face turned pale instantly, "I obviously touched the man's face before I did it......"
"Aren't you nervous and kill people when you see them?"
"I've really figured out it's a man's head! I've killed a lot of people, can I still make this mistake?"
And Ai Qi looked at Liu Gu's head and thought for a few seconds, then raised his hand: "Don't argue, I believe that Ah Fan will not make such a low-level mistake." In this case...... It's only possible that Lin Hezhi hasn't been completely fascinated yet, and when Ah Fan touched his head, he was ready to use his sister-in-law to block the knife. β
The other three looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.
"Afan, you leave and return immediately, please come quickly Ye Shaoxia. In this way, it is unlikely that you will find this kind of God-given opportunity. Lin Hezhi shouldn't have woken up yet, I have to hurry back to the prince's mansion now. Don't go back to the city, but stand by outside. Ai Qi quickly made the following arrangements, and then the group left.
Early the next morning, the news of Lin He's assassination spread through the streets. Lin Jingzhi was furious, and announced on the spot that he would thoroughly investigate the people who had recently entered the city.
The situation at that time was just as Ai Qi guessed, Lin Hezhi was not completely fascinated, and still maintained a certain degree of sobriety. When he felt dizzy, he realized that he had been hit by the incense, and when the Assassin's hand touched his face, he was sure that someone had come to kill him. The next moment, he exerted all the strength of his body to pull the sleeping sister-in-law on the side to him, blocking the fatal knife.
In this way, Lin Hezhi didn't dare to go out without an escort, and he slept alone with the doors and windows closed, and there were guards outside at any time. This time it was sad for Aiqi.
However, Aiqi is also patient enough, and she believes that the opportunity will come again sooner or later. She didn't have any special actions, she should eat and drink in the prince's mansion every day, and maybe she gained a few pounds.
And Lin Jingzhi searched for the killer, and indeed found the heads of Aiqi's three subordinates. They did not enter the city with the Xiao convoy that escorted Ai Qi, and the Xiao convoy had already left, so Ai Qi was not under any suspicion, and the assassin who shot had already left, and the other two were hiding in the mountains, even if Lin Jingzhi sent a large number of people to search near the main city, it would have no effect.
And Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing have quietly arrived here to join Ai Qi's two subordinates. As for the assassin who made the move, Ye Pei didn't let her come over again.
That night, Ai Qi, who received the news, specially came out of the prince's mansion to see Ye Pei.
"Shaoxia, I'm going to wait, what do you see?" she didn't have any nonsense.
Ye Pei said: "It's okay." After all, direct assassination is the next resort, and I don't want to go in and kill him when someone is protecting me, it's too risky. β
In the end, after discussion, Ai Qi still returned to the prince's mansion to wait for the opportunity, and Ye Pei and the others waited for Ai Qi's news outside the city.
No one expected that Lin Hezhi, who had always been anxious, showed full patience this time and always maintained a state of super-cowardice.
And so on, that is, three months.
Three months is not long, but it is short, but it is also a little long.
The son-in-law who grew up to the Xiao family had an idea about Zi Qingrong.
This morning, in the small courtyard arranged by the Xiao family for Ye Pei and the four of them, Zi Qingrong was taking Zhuang Tianlan to practice together. Zhuang Tianlan didn't have this idea at first, and Jiang Zhongqing didn't let her practice, but she practiced for a while every day to see Ziqingrong, and finally one day she became interested and said, "Sister-in-law, you can also teach me." β
When Zi Qingrong heard this, he agreed with a smile. Happily teaching each other the basic skills, thinking that he had entered the room.
The two practiced the boring basic skills together, which was originally very harmonious, until Xiao Huiyuan "accidentally" walked over.
"Girl, do you practice?" Xiao Huiyuan walked in with a flattering smile on his face, and thought he was very handsome with his hands behind his back.
And Zi Qingrong was extremely disgusted at this time: "You still pretend to be handsome with your hands behind your back...... Ye Zi stood beside the cliff with his hands behind his back, that is called handsome ......"
In terms of language, Zi Qingrong is not too polite, after all, he is a guest.
"Xiao Gongzi, please call me Mrs. Ye, not Miss Zi. β
Xiao Huiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I have long heard that Miss Zi is talented, but I didn't expect martial arts to be so strong......"
Zi Qingrong only felt that the soul of complaining was already burning, "Where is my martial arts...... Even if you want to praise me, don't be so obvious......"
Zi Qingrong's expression was already cold: "Young Master Xiao, do you have anything to do here?"
Xiao Huiyuan took a step forward, "Girl, why don't you let me teach you a few hands......"
"Huiyuan, don't mess around!"
At this time, Dongfang Boyi, who was next door, heard the sound of talking and rushed over.
When Xiao Huiyuan heard this, he looked at Dongfang Boyi at the gate of the courtyard, and his momentum suddenly weakened by a few points. After all, the Xiao family used to be a subsidiary of the Dongfang clan, and according to the rules, Dongfang Boyi could call him by his name, but he had to call Dongfang Boyi the young master.
"Mrs. Ye, Huiyuan is a little reckless, please forgive me. Then, Dongfang Boyi came over and said.
Zi Qingrong nodded: "It's okay." It's just that I don't want a next time. β
Dongfang Boyi arched his hand and pulled Xiao Huiyuan out.
"What do you want? Is this woman you can afford to provoke?" asked Dongfang Boyi as soon as he went out.
"Brother Dongfang," Xiao Huiyuan's expression also looked unconvinced, "That Ye Pei is just a person who wants to be a pulse, and there is no news about him if he hasn't come back for so long, so he may not know where he died." β
"Don't you know that she is the eldest lady of the sub-clan?"
"So what? She already calls herself Mrs. Ye, is she still from the Zi family?"
"Are you stupid?"
......
And three months, it finally made Aiqi wait for the opportunity.
suffocated in the city and in the house every day, it is almost like suffocating Lin Hezhi to death. At this time, it is better to hunt, and only hunting, can satisfy his desires.
It's just that he didn't know that his mighty horse team had just come out of the city, and four people not far away were already eyeing him.
Lin Hezhi had nothing to hide that he was going out hunting. Therefore, three days ago, Ye Pei had already received the news.
Lin Hezhi is indeed brave, he opened his bow and arrows, and shot down a flying bird with just one arrow, and this scene also caused cheers from his entourage.
"Hahahaha......" Lin Hezhi, who felt that the dragon had returned to the ocean, looked up to the sky and laughed, took out his bow and drew his sword, dismounted, and walked into the reckless wilderness.
The Yandi is vast, and the territory of the Lin clan is in the north, and the area where Lin Hezhi hunts is located in the north of the Lin clan's territory, because of the climate, it can be said that it is inaccessible.
In order to show his strength, Lin Hezhi often did not ride a horse when hunting, but only ran between the mountains and fields on his legs, and even asked his entourage to dismount and walk like him. However, the entourage could not keep up with his speed with his feet alone, so, as before, it didn't take long for Lin Hezhi to gallop alone in the mountains, chasing wild beasts, and enjoying the time that belonged to him. When there is no war, only in this situation can it bring him the feeling of conquering the world.
Yang Tianrui said that Lin Hezhi is not as good as him, but it actually has something to do with this. As a martial artist, he has never regarded himself as the "No. 1 combat force in the Flame Land", but has always been keen to compete with masters from all walks of life, and does not use bullying the weak as a way to show his strength.
Lin Hezhi didn't notice that when he was chasing the tiger, there were also two vigorous figures in the jungle not far from him, jumping between the canopies, never landing a single step. And farther in the forest, there are also two women with a vicious dog, running quickly.
Finally, Lin Hezhi chased after the tiger, and his position was already far away from his troops. The spear was sharpened, the sword was unsheathed, and the trained vicious dog had already bared its fangs.
"Roarβ" When a dog growls instead of barking, it may already mean that the dog's combat power has been extraordinary. I saw that the vicious dogs brought by two of Aiqi's subordinates suddenly rushed out with a roar, and the saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths seemed to be murderous.
"Dog?!" Lin Hezhi was taken aback, but after all, he was one of the best masters in the Yandi, and his reaction was also very fast, and he quickly turned around the moment before the vicious dog pounced on him, and after a step back, he threw a kick on the waist of the vicious dog. The vicious dog screamed and fell to the ground.
But it has done its job. As long as it can attract the attention of Lin Hezhi's breath, it is enough. At the moment when the vicious dog pounced from the forest, Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing had also struck out from two directions like lightning, and the blades in their hands were aimed directly at Lin Hezhi.
"A line of Tianhe, ten thousand swords and a star!" It seems that since he studied "Xing Yufeng", Jiang Zhongqing has been keen to report his sword moves in battle. It was okay at first, but after having a partner, his life after having a partner made him gradually change his indifferent temperament because of the ruin of his family, and now he is more and more fond of revenge.
However, this very high sword move is matched with the sharp sword light like the gods descending from the earth, which can really play a role in scaring the enemy.
Here Lin Hezhi had just cleaned up the dog, and he didn't want a poem-like thing to come to his ears the next moment, and when he turned his head, he saw the sword light in the sky enveloping him.
"What the is this...... same nirvana, Feng Xiyang, who was at the end of the strong crossbow, had no chance to fight back at all, and at this time, Lin Hezhi, who was in good condition, raised his big knife and waved it quickly, and it was impermeable, and he actually blocked most of the attacks, and only a few blood marks were shallow on his body.
However, Jiang Zhongqing's move didn't work, and there was a pitch-black spear next to him, which had already stabbed straight like a dragon out of the sea.
Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing fought to kill Lin Hezhi here, and Ai Qi's two subordinates and Ai Qi, who had just arrived, had already begun to set traps on the periphery, blocking all the ways for Lin Hezhi to escape.
