Chapter 5: Coming at the right time

In the evening, Duan Zhengyi, Min Zhong, and Huo Jingu received Cui Zhouping's order to assassinate Zhao Heng, the commander of the five products of the imperial court, at the Fengdu Restaurant tonight.

At that time, the lights along the street were only turned on one after another, and the outdoors was in a misty shimmer, Duan Zhengyi and the three of them pretended to be idlers shopping at random, and surveyed three times in front of and behind the Fengdu Restaurant, and finally they set a foolproof step to assassinate.

First of all, they asked Huo Jingu to disguise himself as a beggar in rags and hide a pair of pig iron shovels in his sleeves, and his task was to be pursued or surrounded by the enemy in the process of assassination, and then he suddenly intervened and rescued his companions.

The second is Min Zhong, as the main force of tonight's assassination mission, judging from his weapon expertise, at the door of the Fengdu Restaurant, the assassination of Zhao Heng has the greatest chance of winning, because, the vision at the door is wide, there are fewer obstructions, and the flow of people around the assassination target will not be very large, in this way, he only needs to hide next to the big tsubaki tree on the opposite side of the road at the door, and when the target walks to the door, wait for the opportunity to throw a dart, so as to ensure that he can achieve the accuracy of wanting to shoot the left eye without damaging the right eye.

So, how did the assassin target obediently come to the door of the Fengdu Restaurant according to the steps they wanted?

Therefore, he disguised himself as a well-dressed visitor, and with a large bag of gifts in his hand, he came to the door of the restaurant and told the receptionist to report and let Lord Zhao come down and speak, I have an important gift to hand over to him personally.

Sure enough, the restaurant receptionist quickly called Zhao Heng down. He was very happy today, with a gentle smile like a spring breeze on his face, and a flush on his broad face, like the face of a young girl with light makeup, which was very good-looking! It also swept away his usual stern expression, and even his slightly convex lips seemed to be infinitely beautiful at this moment! Especially his steps, as if he had stepped on a beautiful string when he walked, and every step carried a sense of rhythm with a modulation and frustration. This also fully shows that the excitement of his great filial son, it seems that there is nothing more meaningful to him in the world than the health and longevity of a loving mother!

As soon as he walked down the stairs, the guy in the restaurant next to him pointed to the middle-aged man at the door who was holding a large gift box in his hand and said:

"Master, it's this friend who said that he would personally hand over the gift to you!"

Zhao Heng looked at it and had no impression, but the joy made him have always been keenly vigilant, and he became very negligent, so he also smiled at Duan Zhengyi, who was holding a large gift box, and asked:

"What do you call this brother?"

Duan Zhengyi sneered and said:

"You can call it anything!"

As he spoke, Zhao Heng had already walked in front of Duan Zhengyi, at this moment, there was no obstruction around him, and the target was very clear and recognizable, it was the best time and angle for Min Zhong's dart projection.

At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted:

"General Zhao! ”

When Duan Zhengyi heard this, he suddenly turned around, only to see a personable young man holding a black sheath long sword, Shi Shiran walked from the center of the street, he was startled, because the people who came were the two horseback riders they met in the Black Wind Forest! At this moment, he was still following behind him, the purple-clothed man with a ghost-headed knife.

At this moment, he heard another man calling out to him in the street:

"Brother Duan, you are in the wrong place, your uncle's birthday banquet is not here!"

When he turned his head, he saw Yang Xin waving to him, so he hurriedly smiled awkwardly at Zhao Heng and said:

"I'm so sorry! General Zhao, it seems that I made a mistake!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Zhao Heng said with a smile, "Today is my mother's seventieth birthday, if it's convenient for my brother, I might as well go up and drink a glass of light wine!"

Duan Zhengyi hurriedly excused himself and thanked him, then turned around and left. As soon as he walked up to Yang Xin, he asked:

"Big brother, what's going on?" As he spoke, the other two had already come to them. Yang Xin said:

"Let's go, this is not the place to talk!"

So, Yang Xin took the three of them and left Fengdu Restaurant in a hurry. A human tragedy was quietly avoided.

However, Zhao Heng didn't know Wu Shuang and She Gang, he looked at him for a long time, and finally raised his hand to salute and asked:

"Two knights, how can they recognize the old man?"

"Oh! Wu Shuang raised his hand and said, "According to Uncle Wang Zhi's words, I should also call you Uncle Zhao!"

"Wang Zhi!" Zhao Heng looked at the other party with a thoughtful look and said, "Are you Wang Zhi's nephew?"

"It's a righteous nephew," Wu Shuang said, "My father, Wu Dahai, had a friendship with Uncle Wang Zhi before his death, so he has this kind of affection!"

Zhao Heng was shocked when he saw him say this, because at present, Wang Zhi's father and son are the felons of the imperial court, and, according to Xu Taishi's instructions, when Wu Shuang, the thief who stole the treasury, is caught, he will be punished together, but now this young man who claims to be Wu Shuang, why did he suddenly find me here? Although I served as a county lieutenant in Luoyancheng twenty years ago, and Wang Zhi and Wang Zhi have been colleagues in Luoyancheng for many years, and they both have a really good relationship with Wu Dahai during his lifetime, but now it is not what it used to be, one of them is a felony of the imperial court, and the other is a Jiangyang thief wanted by the imperial court, what should I do now?

Seeing that Wu Shuang was talking about it, he had no choice but to smile and treat him with courtesy; however, he was worried that being seen by others would be unfavorable to him, so he also seemed restless and absent-minded; at this moment, he wanted to end his contact with Wu Shuang hastily, so what he said was particularly indifferent and ruthless!

"Why is the virtuous nephew here tonight?"

"I came here to visit my uncle!" Wu Shuang said, "I also came to inquire about the unfortunate imprisonment of Uncle Wang's father and son!"

"Oh! I see. Zhao Heng looked around in a panic, so he said softly, "Virtuous nephew, the matter of your uncle and father and son being imprisoned is a very important matter, and no one in the capital city dares to talk about it at present, so I have nothing to say!"

Wu Shuang saw that his words were vague and his expression was flustered, and he also knew that this matter might be extraordinary, and when he was hesitating, Zhao Heng suddenly smiled again and said:

"Wu Shuangxian's nephew, otherwise, tomorrow morning, you go to the Huixian Pavilion and wait for me, and then I can tell you the details of some things, okay?"

"Then thank you uncle for your kindness, we'll see you in Xianting tomorrow!"

"That's the best!" Zhao Heng said, "Virtuous nephew, there are some unfamiliar faces upstairs, I won't bother to walk, my uncle is really not good tonight, and I ask Wu Shuang's nephew to understand, we will talk about each other tomorrow!"

So, Wu Shuang and She Gang said goodbye. (To be continued.) )
