Chapter 54: Night Attack
Chapter 54: Night Attack
Wang Shan carefully looked at the layout of the two-story house and the middle house, a circle of houses surrounded a small building in the middle, and the middle was all grass, he couldn't throw a rope from the roof anymore, that would alarm this mysterious person, he was a master among the masters. The two guards at the door wouldn't have watched him pass by so easily.
He slowly descended from under the eaves, hid behind a large column, and watched carefully at the patrolling guards and the guards standing in the doorway.
He looked closely, and suddenly he saw a stone table for resting, right in the middle of the road, and his heart lit up and he had an idea. His idea was to attract the attention of the two guards at the door in the gap of the guards' patrol, and then quickly dodge the time of the search of the two guards at the door and get under the stone table, and then after the time of the next wave of guard patrols, solve the two guards, enter the small building, and alarm the mysterious man in one fell swoop, it is best to see who he is.
He pinched two pebbles in his hand and hid behind the pillar, waiting for the opportunity to come. The patrolling soldiers had just left here, Wang Shan was just about to make a move, suddenly there was movement in the flowers on both sides, it seemed that someone was there, two guards, suspiciously walked there, searched, Wang Shan's footsteps moved quickly, and got under the stone table, but he was strange that the two guards did not come back, as if they had disappeared, he immediately changed his mind and stepped lightly, and suddenly went up to the roof, and then he looked around the roof, only to find that the two guards had fallen into the flowers, their clothes had been ripped off, and Wang Shan, who was changing clothes, did not need to look at Lao Liu and Du Danianγ Their figures Wang Shan couldn't be more familiar, he shook his head, at this time, Lao Liu and Du Danian had already changed their clothes, made a gesture towards him, and then stood at the door in a big way. Wang Shan snickered, and his body moved into the small building.
The only lit room in the small building was where the mysterious man lived, in the middle of the third floor, he tiptoed up to the third floor, gently came to the door of the room, and listened carefully. The people inside didn't seem to feel it. He tapped the door with his hand, but it was unlocked, and he immediately rushed in. The long knife only pointed at the mysterious man sitting in the chair.
The knife is a Turkic long knife. It can be stabbed and split. In Wang Shan's hands, it was much more powerful, and with the sound of the wind, he rushed directly to the person who was reading a book in the chair.
The man snorted, and one turned around to dodge the fatal blow. His long sleeves were thrown directly into Wang Shan's face like the wind, and at the same time he shouted: "Fall down for me." β
He was full of confidence, and felt that it would be easy to keep this assassin behind, after all, the Turkic martial arts master was just an ordinary person to him.
Wang Shan pulled his left hand lightly, turned his fist into a claw, and directly grabbed the iron fist in the long sleeve that rushed to his face, and the knife was about to slash at his neck with a horizontal stroke.
After the fist was grabbed by Wang Shan, the person was like being chained, struggled a few times and did not move, when the knife wind slashed towards the neck, he lowered his head and dodged the knife, but Wang Shan's hand had already let go of his hand, and grabbed it directly towards the face, tearing it up, and the veil was lifted, but an unfamiliar face surprised Wang Shan, he continued to attack the knife and turned around and slashed towards the waist, and his hand kept pointing towards the person's chest.
The stranger stepped a little, his body fell to the ground, and he rolled on the spot to avoid Wang Shan's fatal blow, he stood up, his face still did not change, he gasped for breath, and said to Wang Shan: "Who are you sent to assassinate me?
Wang Shan didn't answer, he continued to attack the stranger with a little footsteps, and the long knife slashed towards his head, which was completely the move of the cavalry on the grassland, direct, fast, and simple.
The stranger's face still did not change, his fingers moved twice, and Wang Shan saw that the posture was the pinching finger of Tianlai Villa, and the pinching finger won in the subtlety of the trick, and won by skill. It seems that the stranger knew that Lu Dao was not Wang Shan's opponent, so he used his delicate fingers to win.
The stranger moved and dodged a ferocious blow, and the blade crashed into the room, sending a cloud of debris flying. The movement alarmed the guards patrolling downstairs, and a group of people rushed to the room noisily.
Wang Shan continued to attack, and he wanted to try again when the personnel on the third floor arrived, to see if he could reveal the true identity of this mysterious person. When he lifted the veil just now, the wind swept over the face of the mysterious man, and the mysterious man's face was left with several deep scratches, but he didn't leave a trace of blood, and the things in Wang Shan's fingernails, he knew that the Dao was a human skin mask, the human skin mask of the old Xu family, the first human skin mask in the world. It is said that the skin mask of the old Xu family is breathable, and there is no discomfort at all when worn on the face, just like his own face.
Wang Shan's knife was directly pointed at the vital point, his purpose was very clear, that is, to attack it and defend, and then with the grasp of his left hand, he could tear off the mask covering this mysterious person.
The knife passed, the person fell, the person ignored the face of the master, fell to the ground and dodged a blow, but he couldn't avoid the later catch, half of the mask was torn off with a stab, Wang Shan threw off half of the mask, and jumped out of the window with a little regret, he only saw half of the face, but it was too late, he had to avoid the attack of the guards downstairs. The window was smashed and shattered, he had already rushed out of the small building, he had seen the bright steel knife shining downstairs in mid-air, he reached out in mid-air and threw it towards the roof, a rope flew up to the eaves, he pulled the rope, swung in mid-air, returned to the roof, he retracted the rope, jumped down to the place where there was no one, rolled on the spot and stood up and jumped out of the courtyard and escaped.
He glanced back, Lao Liu and Du Danian pretended to follow him and shouted loudly, seeing that it was pursuit, but in fact it was protection.
When he rushed to the outermost layer, he found that the place where the rope was hung was a little far away, and the distance had been blocked by people, he turned around and stabbed Lao Liu and Du Danian for a long time, and made a look, Lao Liu and Du Danian slashed with him, moving in the direction of the rope, and Lao Liu kept moving in the direction of the rope. From time to time, the knife shook in front of those who stood in the way, and he said from time to time: "Surround it, stay away from me, and don't hurt your brother." Du Danian roared loudly, and the commander, everyone saw that they were so brave, and they all moved with them inexplicably, and when they reached the position of the rope, Wang Shan roared loudly, and the sword grew. The people around were forced to retreat together by the sword. He jumped up on the roof, and in a few ups and downs he was already on the edge of the rope. Behind him, Lao Liu and Du Danian blocked the crowd that was trying to pursue. Immediately, a pulley-like thing appeared in his hand. Gliding from the air to the big tree outside the yard, he jumped off the big tree and got into the surrounding alley, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye. Lao Liu and Du Danian, watching Wang Shan disappear into the night, looked at each other, and immediately jumped off the roof, walked through the courtyard, jumped over the wall, and shouted and chased after him. After a while, he also shook off the pursuing crowd and disappeared.
Chapter 55: An Unquiet Night
"Your Excellency, you're fine. A group of people surrounded the mysterious man who had fallen to the ground, greeting him with a lot of gossip. The ones who are most concerned are Lao Liu and Du Danian. They behaved very unusually.
"I'm fine, leave me alone, hurry up and catch the assassin. The masked man coughed and stood up, and he took off the torn half of the mask and put it back on.
Lao Liu and Du Danian glanced at each other, shouted and rushed out, they wanted to chase and kill Wang Shan, but in fact, they were pretending to be chasing and killing to cover Wang Shan's escape from this place.
The mysterious man kept coughing, the few moves just now did make his chest tight, a little out of breath, he underestimated the strength of the assassin a little, causing himself to suffer such a big loss, he stroked his chest, carefully calculated, he walked to the window, looking at Lao Liu and Du Danian entangled with the assassin, he observed carefully, and couldn't help but be interested in the two, it is true that there is no good guard in this place.
He watched as the Assassins fled the scene, shaking his head, thinking to himself that he would feel more secure by bringing the two guards to his side.
He looked at the sky, the clouds were clear, and it was pitch black, it was indeed a good weather for assassins, and he sighed, his heart was no longer hopeful of catching the assassin. He found a chair and made it, rested for a while, stabilized his internal breath, and recovered his strength. The few blows just now were really terrible, he didn't expect to meet a master here, a master of assassins, and what made him even more strange was that he couldn't see the martial arts of this assassin, all of them were ordinary martial arts, the technical skills of the steppe cavalry, the sword splitting techniques of the Central Plains, the most ordinary grapplers, but in this assassin it was a strong trick to kill. It has become a trick that can kill people, and this is what scares him a lot.
A person who can use ordinary tricks and techniques to make him embarrassed, he doesn't dare to think that it is his own stunt, whether he can still escape today's catastrophe.
Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out of the door, looking at the people running around in the courtyard, all of them busy, catching the assassin. As soon as he walked out of the room, he was surrounded by people who protected him.
"It's not safe here, sir, you can go back to your room first, and then come out when you're safe." One of the guards stepped forward and said.
"It's okay, there are so many of you here, I'm sure you can protect me. He said with a smile. Walked towards the perimeter of the courtyard. A crowd surrounded him and headed outside.
He came to the place where Wang Shan had escaped, carefully looked at the route and method of escape, and while he was watching, a voice came into his ears: "The Khan has arrived." All the people fell to their knees and shouted together, "Welcome to the Khan." β
"Excuse me, get up, go catch the assassins, and stop kneeling. The Khan didn't have the heart to listen to this, and waved his hand to keep everyone busy, he walked up to the mysterious man, took his hand and said, "You have nothing to do, don't you have anything to do, don't you have to worry that the assassins will not be able to escape, and I will find them even if I turn the king upside down." β
"Xie Lu Xie Khan cares, and he suffered a little injury in the next, and there is no problem. The mysterious man said gratefully to the Khan.
"How do you feel about today?" asked Tuli whispering into his ear.
"King Zuo Xian has arrived. A voice shouted. The mysterious man wanted to speak and stopped, but the Khan looked at his demeanor and understood something in his heart, and the Khan said to the mysterious man: "Go to the palace with me in a while and say, you are not safe here, come back to the palace with me." β
King Zuo Xian had already rushed in from outside with Princess Zhuoya and the second prince, and as soon as he walked in, he asked with concern: "Sir, are you okay with anything?"
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the palace together, sir is not safe here, let's live in the palace, second brother, you can stay here to help catch the assassin, and my husband and I will go to the palace first." After saying that, Tuli set out with the mysterious man to the palace. When he walked past the second prince, the second prince glanced at the mysterious man, and suddenly he felt that this look was very familiar, very familiar, and he couldn't help but look towards the mysterious man, but he had already left quickly.
After sending off the Khan and the mysterious man, King Zuo Xian began to deploy a plan to capture the assassins, and the entire royal city fell into a tense atmosphere.
In the council chamber of the palace, Tuli and the mysterious man had already sat down, and Tuli looked at the mysterious man and said, "You don't seem to be able to say it conveniently, sir, just now, you can talk about it." β
The mysterious man sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know if you believe it, King of the Dao, I once had a conflict with the second prince in early summer, so this time I have been showing my face to others, and I dare not be a little sloppy, in order not to have a conflict with the second prince and jointly complete the agreement between us." Now that I see people, there's no point in hiding, so I think I'd better go back to the capital first. β
"Mr. has shown a high degree of sincerity this time, the Central Plains' spy network in Mobei has been swept away, and has laid a good foundation for our cooperation, according to Mr. The Central Plains is now a woman in power, and the military is unstable, it should be a good moment for us to set foot in the Central Plains in one fell swoop and share the world, how can there be a second prince assassinating you? I believe you are misunderstood. Tuli said comforting the mysterious man.
The mysterious man nodded and said: "According to this reason, it will not be, but if he knows my identity, it is difficult to say whether he will kill me, you think about the man on the grassland who values his reputation the most, if he knows that his affairs in the Central Plains are exposed, then he is likely to be angry and angry, and it is possible to kill the killer." β
Tuli looked at the mysterious man, with a hint of understanding on his face, he thought for a while, and said to the mysterious man: "Otherwise, we will plan ahead, I will directly let the army not enter the royal city, go directly to the garrison, this can save a lot of time, in addition, you also have to go back to contact people as soon as possible, report the details of our interview, and then we should work together inside and outside, cross the Great Wall in one fell swoop, and share the world when the time comes." β
The mysterious man nodded and said, "That is, I will go back to the Lord with the book of Ji Lu, if something goes wrong here, it will be a big thing to delay." Then I will be in the Central Plains tomorrow, but when I leave, I want the king to send someone to escort me, and I want to ask the king how many people he wants to protect me. β
Tu Li smiled and said: "This is as it should be, whoever you want will go directly to King Zuo Xian tomorrow to ask for it, just take this and ask him for it." Tuli took out a talisman from his desk and handed it to the mysterious man.
"Then I will thank the Khan, and I will wait for the good news that the Khan will send troops. The mysterious man took the talisman and said to the Khan.
"By the way, stay in my palace to-day, lest you have any trouble. Tuli said to the mysterious man, and called someone to come in and take the mysterious man to his residence.
Tu Li watched the mysterious man leave, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of cunning, he returned to the chair and sat down, took out a document from the armor on his chest, and spread it on the table, it was the plan of Wang Shan and Xiao Ruoshui to attack the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued......)
