Chapter 347: Danger (I)
Several masked assassins jumped from the second floor of the abandoned restaurant on the right, and used their weapons to repel the attacking Chatai Dorton. Chatai Dordun was not ready to deal with it, and simply flicked away the flying hidden weapon with a simple wave of his sleeve.
Since he didn't know the number of ways of his opponent, and his first impression was that the opponent's skills were good, Chatai Dorton still took a few steps back and waited to see what happened.
After several masked people fell, they raised their swords to block Chen Yang, who was lying on the ground and dying, as if he had made up his mind to protect Chen Yang from the beginning.
The night was hazy, and standing in the narrow alleyways with no way out on either side, Chatai Dordun could not recognize the identity of the masked assassin on the other side. Chatai Dordun clenched the Miao Dao in his right hand, after all, he didn't know what kind of master the person covering Chen Yang was. Chatai Dordun thought about it, and then asked with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be a master present in this remote place tonight, and he would dare to get involved in the affairs of the Mengyuan Imperial Court, so he must be confident that his extraordinary person reached out...... As the saying goes, the affairs of the imperial court and the martial arts do not interfere with the river water, if a few high-ranking people have nothing to do with the affairs of the imperial court, I will send them off here-" As he spoke, Chatai Dordun asked the black-clothed assassin behind him to get out of the way, and stretched out his hand to signal the masked assassins in front of him to leave.
However, the masked assassins who rescued Chen Yang seemed to have no intention of leaving from the beginning, and this matter seemed to be settled. None of the masked assassins replied, and the leader at the front stared at the smirking Chatai Dorton, and then slowly shook his head.
Seeing this, Chatai Dordun slowly changed his tone: "Then...... Offended!"
As soon as the words were broken, Chatai Dorton's figure flashed. As soon as the knife was raised, the "Shadow Knife" fell from the sky, stabbed the head of the masked guest in front of him.
However. The masked assassin seemed to be very calm, on the side of his body, the long sword in his hand trembled, and a blue-green sword light followed the sword path on the back of the knife of Chatai Dordun's Miao Knife, the strength and number of paths were just right, and he replaced the "Shadow Knife" of Chatai Dordun with soft strength.
Seeing that the other party responded so calmly, and used his strength very well. Tchatel Dordun realized that the masked assassin was definitely a mid-to-high player. If he only brought a few of his subordinates to intervene in the affairs of the Chatai Palace, he must have excellent skills and extraordinary courage. Even if its leader, Chatai Dorton, could handle it himself, if the other party and his men swarmed him, he might not be an opponent.
Chatai Dordun did not dare to use too much force, for fear of a surprise attack by the men behind the masked assassin. Thereupon. Chatai Dorton did not cut to the end. Following the path of the masked assassin's sword, the number of the opponent's virtual and real combined swords, with the strength of the force, see the move, and then slowly retreat, and then look at its momentum.
However, the masked assassin's internal strength seemed to be outstanding, and not only was the strength of the resistance just right. The ability to control its retraction and release is not weak at all. Although Chatai Dorton wanted to use his strength to slowly retreat, Chatai Dorton gradually found out. Although the opponent's sword technique is not very aggressive, its sword qi is like a strong adhesion qi, and whenever he wants to get rid of it, his body shape is inseparable from the opponent's sword path.
Seeing that Chatai Dorton's balance was controlled by himself, the masked assassin wanted to become a guest, and stabbed his sword at Chatai Dordon's chest.
Chatai Dordun was slightly taken aback, looking at the other party as if he had been playing with himself, thinking that if he didn't use all his strength, it would really not end well. As a result, Chatai Dordun shouted, the internal force of his whole body burst out, a golden light flashed, and the "Tiangang Spirit Shock" was emitted like a barrier.
The masked assassin's long sword blade encountered the "Tiangang Spirit Shock", and the internal force like a boulder instantly struck. The masked assassin didn't do a good job, and his right hand shook, not to mention stabbing Chatai Dordun, and his long sword was almost shaken off by the powerful internal force.
It was not over, Chatai Dordun roared angrily again, and the internal force increased by two more layers, spreading from the whole body like an explosion, only to hear a loud "boom" in the place where Chatai Doldun was standing, and the internal force of the barrier-like "Tiangang Spirit Shock" erupted from the whole body, and the place where he was suddenly deformed by the rubble and dust, and the floor tiles were also deformed by the internal force that rushed to the ground.
Not to mention the masked assassin on the opposite side, who was so close to Chatai Dorton, and received such a strong impact in an instant, he couldn't hold it for a while, and the whole person was shocked back more than a dozen steps. But fortunately, the leader of this masked assassin is also strong enough, exchanging his palm for a sword, forcibly blocking the internal force of the landslide and tsunami-like barrier, it seems that his martial arts internal strength is indeed superior, and his hand is at least not under Chatai Dordun, but the place where he stands is also a pile of rocks.
The broken bricks shattered by the internal force kicked up puffs of dust, blurring the sight in front of Chatai Dorton, and it was originally shrouded in night, and by the time Chatai Dorton wanted to look ahead again, the dust had completely blurred the scene ahead.
Looking at the rocks and dust, unsure of the situation ahead, and knowing that the masked assassin was not inferior, Chatai Dordun did not dare to take the initiative to rush forward, so he waited patiently until the dust cleared before responding.
However, after just waiting for a while, when the dust in front of him had cleared, Chatai Dordun was stunned - the masked assassins just now had long since disappeared, and even Chen Yang, who had fallen to the ground and was dying, was gone, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground before......
"Ran away...... Actually ran away?" Chatai Dorton saw this, and said a little angrily, "Hmph, you actually let them run away like this!"
A black-clothed subordinate behind him saw it, leaned over and said to Chatai Dordun: "Son, the martial arts of that masked assassin don't seem to be simple, but I didn't expect to dare to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, who are they?"
Chatai Dordun thought for a moment, and then said softly: "I don't know, but I am sure that this person's identity is definitely not simple, after all, there are not too many powerful martial arts masters near this capital...... But it's not so much that they didn't intervene in the imperial court, but rather that they didn't expect them to know that we were setting up an ambush here......"
"What do you mean, those masked assassins just now knew about our plan?" asked the black-clothed subordinate again.
"I don't know, it's unlikely that there was a mole. Ben Gongzi's plan to assassinate the five heroes of Beiyuan, except for Wang Xuan and Wang Xin in Yizhou City, no one should know about it......" Chatai Dordun also muttered to himself. "Unless there is a third party in the midst of this, who is this third party......
With countless questions, Chatai Dorton began to panic in a rare way......
However, while Chatai Dorton stood still and pondered, a messenger-like figure ran from behind the alleyway. He quickly rushed to the front of Chatai Dorton, and then saluted, "The villain has seen the prince of Chatai—"
Tchatdeirdun did not look directly at the messenger. It seemed that from the very beginning he knew that this messenger was going to be arranged, and then he asked, "How is it, has the matter been clarified?"
The messenger reported, "Go back to your son." It's all clear, and today the villain ordered the officers and soldiers of the palace to go to Qingmo Villa to search for the things about the five heroes of Beiyuan, and found no signs of the transportation convoy. ”
It turned out that the messenger was talking about nothing else. It was the incident of hundreds of Mengyuan officers and soldiers searching Qingmo Villa during the day today. Today, the officers and soldiers of Mengyuan searched the purpose of Qingmo Villa. It was exactly the same thing that Sun Yun asked Du Juan to investigate secretly, and they all wanted to find out if there was a convoy to transport heavy goods when the Five Heroes of Beiyuan temporarily lived in Qingmo Villa. Obviously, whether Du Juan heard about it from Dong Yu or the officers and soldiers of Meng Yuan personally searched it, the result was nothing.
"In this way, what Wang Xuan Wang Xin's father and son said before, the five heroes of the Northern Plains did not bring to Qingmo Villa......" Chatai Dordun muttered to himself. "Because the five heroes of the Northern Plains know that Qingmo Villa belongs to the Mengyuan Imperial Court. If it is rash and blatant, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the imperial court. But that thing can't but be brought into the capital, so they can't use the channel of a third party to secretly respond, and then carry it into the capital city through the eyes of Qingmo Villa and the imperial court...... After the five heroes of Beiyuan came to the suburbs of Dadu, Ben Gongzi's eyeliner was also investigated, and he only temporarily lived in Qingmo Villa and the Lucky Dart Bureau in the city, so to speak, the suspicion of coming to the Dart Bureau is very great......
"By the way, speaking of the ...... of the Dart Bureau," the messenger seemed to have thought of something, and reminded, "An unexpected thing happened during the assassination of Zhong Qishan at the Longpan Chamber of Commerce today......
"What, there was an accident?" Chatai Dordun said, his eyes narrowed, "What does this have to do with the Lucky Dart Bureau?"
"According to the brothers who patrolled the area of the Longpan Chamber of Commerce during the day today, the assassination of Zhong Qishan by President Yuan of the Longpan Chamber of Commerce today was witnessed by a person on the second floor of the restaurant opposite......" The messenger said with a little trembling, "That person ...... That guy seems to be the little henchman who came to the dart game...... He Zibu ......"
"What did you say?" Chatai Dordun heard the news, and immediately asked angrily, "What happened to such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier? Also, what do you people think, didn't you say that your men were secretly covering up the assassination plan, and look at what you rice buckets are doing?"
"Childe's anger-" Seeing that Chatai Dordun was furious, the messenger immediately lowered his head and said, "Then He Zibu stretched out his hand extremely vigorously, we ...... We didn't catch him......"
"Didn't catch it?" Chatai Dordun continued to be angry, "I know that he is the one who came to the dart board, why can't he catch it, won't you go to the dart board to ask for someone?"
"Prince, please calm your anger, didn't the prince of Chatai give a death order before, and can't let the villains interfere in the affairs of the Lai Dart Bureau?" besides......" The messenger continued to whisper, "Besides, Childe, you didn't say that you yourself didn't mean that too many people couldn't know about this matter until you made sure that the assassination plan was completed...... If you rashly go to the dart bureau to ask for the reason, and the matter is all exposed, won't it be a failure......? He Zibu is just a small follower of the dart game, let him know, it's nothing...... Nothing was too much trouble......"
"It's not a big deal, it's a 'no big deal......" Chatai Dordun first said angrily, then shook his head and thought about it in a reluctant voice, and continued, "The people who come to the dart bureau, every one of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp, every time there is an important matter in the imperial court, there will always be a dart game, every time it is ...... If He Zibu returned to the dart bureau and reported these situations, it is not impossible for the dart bureau to send his cronies and masters to protect the five heroes of Beiyuan, ......"
"That son, now...... What now?" said the messenger, a little apprehensive.
Chatai Dordun pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Although there are masters who are secretly helping, it doesn't seem to affect this son's plan much. In the past, he had already killed four of the five heroes of Beiyuan, and in the end, this Chen Yang was so seriously injured, I'm afraid he wouldn't survive tonight...... There are two questions to be clarified now: one is who is the person who secretly helped the Five Heroes of the Northern Plains, and who knows about the plan to assassinate the Five Heroes of the Northern Plains that no one should know about except for Ben Gongzi and Wang Xuan and Wang Xin's father and son, and how did he know about it; and the other is whether the convoy of important goods brought by the Five Heroes of the Northern Plains has been transported to the capital? If so, there is only one possibility, and that is to hide in the ...... of the Fortune Bureau."
Chatai Dordun did not guess wrong, the transportation convoy that the five heroes of the Northern Plains had transported before was now placed in the backyard of the Dart Transport Bureau, but the people who came to the Dart Bureau did not know what the so-called heavy objects on the car were.
"Childe, what are we going to do now?" the messenger asked again.
Chatai Dordun looked at him certainly, and said coldly: "Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and then pass on my order, straighten out the men and horses, and send the soldiers to the Dart Bureau-"
As soon as these words came out, the messenger was a little frightened and said, "But Gongye, didn't the prince say it before...... It's not ......"
"Hmph, what does he say? He is now seriously ill in bed, and he can't even go to the early court, don't forget, it's not he who has the sole power of the palace now, it's me—Chatai Dorton!" "I told you the secret between my father and the Lai Fortune Bureau, and I will have to find out sooner or later." This time is nothing else, it is tonight, tonight, I will definitely not let go of the dart game again, I will not let go of the people who have been against me, and I will not let go of their young master, Sun Yun!" Finally, Chatai Dordun said his old enemy Sun Yun in a murderous tone.
Chatai Dorton's murderous words came out, and no one around him dared to have other opinions. After the order of Chatai Dordun was issued, everyone returned to the Chatai Palace, prepared to straighten out the men and horses, and sent troops to transport the dart bureau......
At this time, no one in the incoming dart game has realized that a huge crisis is slowly approaching them......
In the courtyard of the Lai Yun Dart Bureau, Ren Guang, Lin Jing, Shi Changsong and He Zibu were looking at the main entrance of the Dart Bureau with a stern face, as if they were waiting for something. Tonight's wind is very strong, and at night, the temperature is extremely low, and standing in an empty yard can't help but make people shiver. If it were this time of weekday, watching these people waiting in the courtyard, they would generally think that they were waiting for Sun Yun and Du Juan, who were not late to return. But today it seems that it is not, and judging from their solemn but premonitive faces, it seems that there is someone else who they are waiting for tonight......
"Why haven't you come yet, won't it have been ......" He Zibu said a little worried.
"Wait, after all, they are not under the men of Chatai Dorton. And even if Chatai Dorton is present, he may not be able to beat ......," Ren Guang replied in a low voice on the side. On tonight's cold and cold night, everyone's voices were very small......
Finally, with a sound outside the door, several masked assassins leaped into the courtyard from the wall of the gate with a dying figure on their backs. The dying person was none other than the last of the five heroes of the Northern Plains who were on the verge of death, Chen Yang. And the other people were also the masked masters who had just rescued Chen Yang at the entrance of the alleyway and had a relationship with Chatai Dordun.
When Ren Guang and the others saw it, they hurriedly ran over to greet them. Ren Guang watched a few people come back, half of his hanging heart fell, and then asked, "How is it, senior, are you okay?"
"We're fine, it's just ......" The masked assassin who had just faced off with Chatai Dordun took a few steps forward and said with some regret, "We're fine, it's just a little later, Chen Yang's predecessor was still poisoned, and now he is seriously injured......"
After the masked assassin finished speaking, he took off his mask, revealing a calm, strong face. And the identity of this mysterious master is actually - Hua Ye Han, the owner of Mingjian Mountain Villa...... (To be continued......)
