Chapter 31 Water Release
When the assassin saw Xiao Zuo who had been killed halfway, there was a hint of discoloration in his eyes, but he did not have the slightest intention of flinching.
Xiao Zuo didn't pay much attention to the assassin in front of him at first, the other party was masked, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but he still recognized the snowy long knife in his hand at a glance.
It turned out that this person was the co-leader Canglong between the water and clouds. Canglong accepted Lan Zishu's order to assassinate Zhao Guangyi, and has been inquiring about the news of the Jin Palace's mansion for two consecutive days. There are many masters in Zhao Guangyi's mansion, and with Canglong's strength, it is simply to hit a stone with an egg, and it is also a loss that Zhao Guangyi returned from the palace today and sent his personal guards back to the house early, which brought a rare opportunity to Canglong.
Canglong thought that after completing the task this time, he would be able to retreat with his whole body, but he didn't know that Xiao Zuo suddenly appeared, so it was difficult for him to return alive today, so he rushed out towards Xiao Zuo with the determination to die.
As for Xiao Zuo, who recognized the person as Canglong, kept an eye on it, quickly moved in front of Canglong, stretched out his long knife, and took the opportunity to lower his voice and said: "Canglong, if you retreat quickly, I won't meet you today." ”
Canglong smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that if King Jin doesn't die today, I, Canglong, will die." ”
Xiao Zuo was puzzled, and slapped it with a palm. He intended to let Canglong go, but the other party was bent on death, so he could only take it first. The two of them were excited for more than ten moves, Xiao Zuo has never been ruthless, and there is room for moves, and what Canglong Blade pointed to, they all did their best, pressing step by step.
Although he knew Xiao Zuo's thoughts, where could he escape if he escaped. Shili of the Taiping Sect, although it is not so good that his hands and eyes are all over the sky, it is not difficult to catch such a small role as himself. He only wants to die quickly, so he is ruthless, in order to anger Xiao Zuo and force him to move seriously.
Xiao Zuo didn't see through Canglong's will to die, Canglong coerced, so that he didn't have a chance to release the water, and Zhao Guangyi was standing not far away at this time, staring at the movement here with a resentful face, as long as he was a little careless and revealed his intention to let go of the assassin, everything he did tonight could only be put into water.
While seeing the move, Xiao Zuo has been thinking about how to save Canglong's life in his heart. For Canglong, Xiao Zuo is extremely appreciative, he is currently alone in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhao and Song Dynasty, and he doesn't know what more complicated things he will encounter in the future. Although he is a time-traveling person with a way of thinking beyond this era and a broad horizon, a person's liliang is limited after all, and it is impossible to cover everything.
Since that day when Zhao Kuangyin talked about Khitan, Xiao Zuo had an idea, an idea that he was eager to complete. During the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty was threatened by northern nomads, first the Khitans, then the Jurchens, the Western Xia, and the Mongols. After the death of the Song Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has been in a slump since then, becoming more and more self-contained, closing off the country, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, resulting in the commercial society that was finally developed in the Song Dynasty to instantly meet its original form.
Xiao Zuo didn't want to see such an outcome, so he wanted to change. This was the first time he felt a deep sense of mission in his heart when he came to this era. He wanted to assist Zhao Kuangyin, subdue the Khitan, strangle the Western Xia, and change the situation of the Song Dynasty in his previous life.
Canglong is the first helper that Xiao Zuo fancies. Although Xiao Zuo didn't know how much energy the Jinling spy organization had in Shui Yunjian, he thought that the intelligence department of a country must have something extraordinary, and Canglong was the co-leader of it, so he must have rich experience in this field. Such a talent is exactly what Xiao Zuo needs most at the moment. He needed a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows to help him see the enemies around him.
"This Xiao Zuo's martial arts are not bad,"
Zhao Guangyi stood in the distance, and at this time, more than ten palace guards rushed over after hearing the news, and the most prominent one was Zhao Guangyi's most trusted and highest martial arts sword Yin Xiao Lin's high-ranking disciple Shi Bai.
Shi Baimeng had already seen that Xiao Zuo was not doing his best, although he wondered why Xiao Zuo did this, he didn't say anything. This is because Shi Bai knew in his heart that Zhao Guangyi intended to recruit Xiao Zuo.
"Lord Wang, Xiao Zuo can't hold on to this assassin, do you need to make another move?" Although he did not demolish Xiao Zuo, it did not mean that he could tolerate Xiao Zuo to continue like this.
"No need, don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people. Zhao Guangyi admired Xiao Zuolai more and more, how could he let others interfere and steal his demeanor at this time.
And at this moment, Xiao Zuo went against the norm, sacrificed his hand seal, and attacked Canglong with a move of wisdom fist seal. With this wisdom fist seal, Xiao Zuo only used three successes, but the momentum was compelling, and even Zhao Guangyi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but look sideways.
However, Xiao Zuo's move had a fatal flaw. The Wisdom Fist Seal is an extremely powerful attack mudra in the Big Buddha Mudra, which is amazingly powerful, but it requires the full cooperation of the inner strength of the Idealistic Technique. Xiao Zuo didn't do his best, he just punched an empty shelf with a wisdom fist seal.
There is no powerful wisdom fist seal, but Xiao Zuo deliberately left Canglong a chance. Canglong had seen Xiao Zuo's wisdom fist seal and knew that its power was huge. He was bent on death, and he couldn't avoid it at all, and as soon as the long knife in his hand was horizontal, he slashed towards Xiao's left and right shoulders.
Under the collision of the two, the Zhi Fist seal slapped on Canglong's body, but it only shook Canglong back by half a step, and Xiao Zuo, he did not completely avoid Canglong's blow, the big knife slashed through his right arm, and a scarlet mouth instantly flowed blood. This is the idea that Xiao Zuo came up with, at the cost of his own injury, to save Canglong's life.
When Xiao Zuo's wisdom fist mark slapped on Canglong's chest, he already knew that this was Xiao Zuo's deliberate act, and when he saw that his big knife had injured Xiao Zuo, he was shocked and moved, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know what to do.
Xiao Zuo fell to the ground, endured the pain in his arm, and hurriedly squeezed his eyes at Canglong. Canglong knew that Xiao Zuo was working hard, so he put away the big knife, turned around and walked away quickly.
"It's not good, Xiao Zuo is injured. Zhao Guangyi never expected that Xiao Zuo's seemingly powerful blow did not subdue the assassin, but was injured himself.
"The subordinates went after the assassin. Shi Bai didn't expect Xiao Zuo to be injured, but with his current strength, he didn't see the trickiness in it. When he saw Canglong running away, he quickly chased after him.
Xiao Zuo couldn't help but become anxious when he saw Shi Bai suddenly flashing by beside him. The palace guards who suddenly appeared, judging by their light skills, their skills must not be under their own, if they let him catch up with Canglong, then there is no point in his hard work. In a hurry, Xiao Zuo couldn't care about the pain, stood up suddenly, and was about to chase after Shi Bai.
Zhao Guangyi was greatly moved when he saw that Xiao Zuo was injured and had to chase the assassin, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Xiao doesn't need to chase you, you are injured, Xiao Wang will definitely ask a famous doctor to treat you." ”
At this time, Xiao Zuo had caught up with Shi Bai, and when he heard Zhao Guangyi's shout behind him, he had a plan, grabbed Shi Baimeng's sleeve, and then slapped his left hand towards his wound, and suddenly saw him spurt out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Shi Bai was grabbed by Xiao Zuo's sleeve, stopped, and turned around, only to see Xiao Zuo fainting to the ground. For a while, he didn't know whether to continue to catch up, or stay and take care of Xiao Zuo's injuries.
"Shi Bai, don't chase anymore, you hold Xiao Zuo and take him back to the palace to heal. Zhao Guangyi said with a concerned face.
Since the prince ordered so, Shi Baimeng reluctantly gave up pursuing Canglong again, helped Xiao Zuo, and took him to follow Zhao Guangyi.
When Xiao Zuo woke up, he was lying on the bed in the palace guest room. And the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin. In fact, when Xiao Zuo patted his wound, although he was not weak, it was not enough to make him faint, it was completely pretending to confuse Shi Baimeng to stop him from chasing Canglong.
He was helped into the palace by Shi Baimeng, and then Zhao Guangyi specially arranged a guest room for him. Zhao Guangyi saw that Xiao Zuo hadn't woken up for a long time, so he planned to leave first. And Xiao Zuo's heart was empty, he had been worried about whether Shi Baimeng saw that he intended to let Canglong go, so he chose to "wake up" at this time.
"Xiao Zuo, you are injured and should not walk around, just lie down. Seeing that Xiao Zuo was about to get out of bed to salute himself, Zhao Guangyi stepped forward to stop him.
Xiao Zuo didn't insist, half-leaned on the side of the bed, and said, "The villain is incompetent and failed to catch the assassin." ”
"Xiao Wang knows that you have done your best, there is no need to worry, and you saved this king in danger today, which has made this king grateful. Zhao Guangyi's words were sincere, and if someone else changed it, he would believe it, but Xiao Zuo knew that it was just a beautiful thing Zhao Guangyi said in order to win him over.
"The villain doesn't dare, he only blames the villain for not being proficient in learning, so he let the thief get away, and the prince doesn't blame him for it, which is already a great kindness. ”
Xiao clasped his left hands into fists and said with his head bowed.
"It doesn't hurt what the king said, you don't have to blame yourself, besides, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Xiao Wang has notified the Sanya Forbidden Army, and Kaifeng Mansion to arrest this thief, forgive him and he can't escape from Tokyo City. ”
Between the words, a trace of fierceness flashed in Zhao Guangyi's eyes. Since his brother became the emperor and crowned himself king, he has never been assassinated in the city of Tokyo. Canglong dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, which made Zhao Guangyi, who had always been eager to repay, very annoyed.
At the moment when Xiao Zuo rescued him, he instructed Chen Ru to take his waist card and go to the infantry department to ask for the whole city to arrest the assassin.
"Thank you Lord Wang, it's just that your identity is sensitive, and it is not appropriate to stay in the palace for a long time. Xiao Zuo said bitterly.
Xiao Zuo was the visiting envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although the prince who saved Zhao Song was not considered a collaborator and traitor, but if he stayed in the palace to recuperate, it would easily cause the reverie of others. For example, will this Xiao Zuo vote for Zhao Song?
Zhao Guangyi pondered for a moment, and felt that what Xiao Zuo said was also reasonable, so he nodded, "You are right, Li Congshan is the most suspicious, if you let him know, he will definitely think more, this is not conducive to your return to the Southern Tang Dynasty." It's just that you're hurt now......"
"Don't worry, the villain is only suffering skin trauma, and it is not in the way. As he spoke, Xiao Zuo got out of bed, walked a few steps, and seemed to move freely.
Zhao Guangyi saw it in his eyes, so he no longer worried about Xiao Zuo's injury, thought about it and said: "Xiao Zuo, in the future, you and I will not be able to zaijian face each other in Tokyo City, and today this king will explain all the things in Jinling to you." ”
"Lord Wang, please speak. ”
"This king has sent a message to Yu Pixiu, from today you are the person in charge of Jinling, and all the hidden in Jinling are all under your orders. When you return to Jinling this time, one is to confuse Li Yu and make you think that my Great Song Dynasty has no intention of destroying the Tang Dynasty, and second, you have to try to encircle a group of officials in Jinling and select talented people from them for use by Bixia in the future. ”
