Chapter 59 Carrying out the task
In the west of Kestrel City, the owner of Guangyuan's foreign mansion is called Zhang Guangyuan, who is the uncle of Zhang Shou, one of the "Four Tigers". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Zhang Guangyuan is more than 50 years old, and he calls himself "Sanxi Yuanwai", one is to rob the people's daughters, the second is to forcibly occupy the store, and the third is to forcibly kidnap the population, and he is a tyrant in the west of the city. But anyone who wants to have a relationship with the Tiansha Sect, or wants to be close to Zhang Shoutao, always relies on Zhang Guangyuan's way, so the mansion has both private soldiers and swordsmen.
At midnight, two people dressed in night clothes, one in front of the other and one in the back, quietly came to Guangyuan's outer mansion under the cover of big trees, house beams and night.
The two looked for a slightly low courtyard wall and climbed over it. Facing a group of private soldiers patrolling, the two hurriedly hid under the courtyard wall. After the private soldiers passed by, the two got up, nodded to each other, and after a simple gesture exchange, one left and one right went into the courtyard.
These two people were assigned by Chen Tianyuan to assassinate Azule and Liyuan, who had practiced martial arts.
The two met at the corner of the third courtyard. Azule whispered: "The situation is basically the same as the previous two nights, two teams of private soldiers patrol alternately every half an hour, and two swordsmen guard the roof and side room of Zhang Guangyuan's bedroom. Do you think the division of labor needs to be adjusted?"
"The privates have just left, and we have half an hour of free time. The original plan remains the same, you are responsible for the people on the roof, and I will take care of the people in the side room. No live mouth, no traces. You stay at the back window to answer, and I will go in through the side door to kill Zhang Guangyuan. Liyuan whispered back.
The two nodded to each other and parted.
Azule tucked his sword diagonally behind him, drew the short sword bound to his calf, and circled it under the tree on his side. The swordsman guarding the roof sits on the roof with his sword in his hand, leaning on the branches of trees adjacent to the roof. Azul lowered his breathing and slowly climbed up the scar from the tree. He moved slowly, keeping his eyes on the swordsman leaning overhead.
Less than a stone's throw away from the swordsman, Azul handed the short sword to his left hand, stabbed him in the back with his left hand, stabbed him in the heart, and covered his mouth with his right hand. A muffled cry was heard, and the swordsman's body went limp, and Azule laid it flat on the roof to avoid rolling off the roof and causing movement.
Around the same time, a muffled shout from the roof swordsman rang out, and another swordsman in the side room stood up alertly, drew his sword, and pushed open the window with his blade. Hiding behind the window, the swordsman pushed open the window and hesitated whether to call or go out to check, climbing the window with his left hand and jumping in with his right hand holding a knife. The swordsman saw Liyuan in a night suit jump in and was about to shout. The knife fell from the distance, and it was the "horizontal array oblique" after the change of a move, the momentum was strong and heavy, the oblique knife was cut down, and the swordsman parried with all his strength, and he couldn't call for a while. The swordsman wanted to set up the sword of Liyuan, but he didn't know that what Liyuan had just made was a false move, and he used all his strength, but he was empty. Li Yuan took advantage of the situation to change his move to "kill through the formation", retracted the diagonal blade, lightly slammed the opponent's hilt, and stabbed into the swordsman's body.
Azule had already gone down to the back window, and he could hear clearly that he had already succeeded, and he stayed where he was for Liyuan.
Li Yuan pushed away the swordsman who pounced on him, put him to the ground with a soft sound, pulled out the knife that passed through his body, and wiped the blood on the opponent's body.
Li Yuan softly pushed open the side door as agreed, and entered a connected living room, behind which was Zhang Guangyuan's bedroom.
Quietly pushed open the bedroom door, first examined the layout of the room, only to see that under the gray moonlight, there was a table and two chairs, a large bed and a hanger, a large cabinet and a knife holder in the room, which was simple and simple, but also showed exquisite luxury.
The curtain of the large bed hung low, and through the curtain it was clear that a man and a woman were lying on the bed with their arms in their arms.
Li Yuan was hesitating whether to kill the two of them together, or only kill Zhang Guangyuan. But after thinking about it, once Zhang Guangyuan died, his concubine would definitely die. In order to prevent the concubine from calling, it may be risky for the two of them to escape, so both of them must be killed.
Li Yuan made up his mind, took a broken step to the bed, and made a drag knife, passing through the necks of the two people, only to hear two muffled snorts, and the two were killed immediately. After inspecting the two of them and confirming that they were both killed, he came to the back window, pushed open the window, jumped out, and nodded to Azule, who was waiting in place, and the two fled the same way.
It was the first time that Azule and Liyuan had carried out an assassination mission, and although it took some effort, they also successfully completed it, and happily returned to the swordsmithing workshop.
The two came to the side hall, and Teacher Tian Yuan had been waiting for them.
The two of them successfully carried out the mission for the first time, and both looked a little fluttery. Without waiting for Teacher Tianyuan to ask, he recounted the before and after events one by one, waiting for the teacher to praise him.
Teacher Tian Yuan's face did not show joy or anger, and after listening to what the two of them said, he just paced unhurriedly in the room, and only after a while did he speak: "It's a good thing that the task has been completed, although this task is very simple." Think for yourselves, what's wrong with it?"
Azule and Liyuan glanced at each other and understood, although they were praised, they obviously did not satisfy the teacher. The two of them quickly put away their smiles and lowered their heads in thought.
"We are lucky, after killing the two swordsmen, there will be no obstacles, if there is still one person hidden in the secret, we may fail." ā
Li Yuan said: "The martial arts of the two swordsmen are relatively low, they are basically the enemy of the same one, if you change to a slightly higher level of martial artists, it is possible that they can calmly call for help, the mission will fail, and we may not be able to escape." ā
Chen Tianyuan said: "It seems that there is still a bit of self-knowledge. Luck is unreliable, and I let you practice in actual combat just to let you practice your skills and face all kinds of difficulties. ā
Chen Tianyuan said again: "You have three major mistakes. The first big mistake is that the investigation is not careful enough, only checking the environment and guards, but not predicting all links, let alone investigating whether the target of your assassination will be martial arts, or what special habits they have. The second big mistake is the person on the roof and the person in the side room, who should you kill first, the sound of the person on the roof can be heard clearly to the person in the side room, but what about the other way around? Kill the person in the side room, even if there is some noise, the person on the roof may not be able to hear it. In addition, assassination, what is assassination, how to assassinate? You don't figure it out, you don't ask for advice, you do it yourself. Assassination is not an open sword, there are many weapons available, such as poison smoke, flying needles, crossbows, hidden weapons, etc., which are better than the swords used by the two of you. The third mistake is whether you want the other party to find out that you did it? There are many ways to kill people, such as vendetta killings, robbery and killing. Since it is an assassination, it is not a blatant killing, it is necessary to create a little confusion for the other party, and deliberately direct a wrong direction to the other party. Do you understand the above three mistakes?"
Azule and Liyuan were already confused, but after listening to it, they suddenly realized.
Li Yuan asked, "Uncle, we have made so many mistakes, will it cause trouble?"
Chen Tianyuan laughed a few times, changed his low tone and said: "Someone has already handled the scene for you, it is robbery and murder, and it is robbing the rich to help the poor, and the robbed money has also been spread to the people for you, you two will be grand swordsmen in the future." ā
Li Yuan glanced at Azule, and laughed heartily as Chen Tianyuan looked.
Three days later, Lin Wei, the head of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau in the east of the city, was killed, and it was rumored that Lin Wei was named the head of the dart, but he was actually the leader of the robbers who killed people and oversold goods.
Ten days later, Jiang Guifeng, the owner of the Guifeng pawnshop in the west of the city, was killed, and it was rumored that Jiang Guifeng had seized the treasure pledged by the merchants and joined the robbers to seize the treasure and kill people many times.
