The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 352 Assassinate the Samana Guardian

Chen Jingke finally recovered from the panic, and hugged her: "Yi Nu, Yi Nu...how are you, don't scare me."

Looking at the dagger stuck in her chest, he became even more flustered, forgetting all the medical knowledge he had learned before.Fortunately, he still remembered one thing and couldn't pull out the dagger.

Yuzhu also came over and stretched out her hand to cover the wound on her arm: "Sister Yi Nu... woo woo woo..."

Yi Nu squeezed out a smile, and said weakly: "My lord, I didn't expect the dagger you gave me to be used so soon."

Tears welled up in Chen Jingke's eyes, and he said, "I'd rather you never need it for the rest of your life. You have to persevere. We'll go back right away and let Master perform the surgery on you... He's a holy doctor, and he will definitely save you."

Yi Nu stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, but seeing the blood on his hand let go again, he said, "I know, I still have to give birth to many children for the real, I can't die..."

Chen Jingke was afraid of the sharp knife moving in her body, so he kept a posture and didn't dare to move. He just said, "Okay, okay, we have a lot of children."

Yi Nu smiled, and said worriedly: "Where's the assassin, have you caught him?"

Chen Jingke looked up and found that Wang Busi and the other three were still fighting with each other, and said angrily: "Don't you three usually call yourself masters, and you can't even catch a cripple for so long?"

The faces of Wang Busi and the others also became ugly. If such a big thing happened, even if Chen Jingke was not injured, they would inevitably be punished.

The point is that they performed so poorly that they were compared by a maid.

They also want to catch the assassin as soon as possible, but this assassin is obviously a dead man, and he trades injuries for injuries and lives for lives. They can't do anything for a while.

At this time, when I heard Chen Jingke's urging, I knew that I couldn't delay any longer, otherwise I wouldn't even have the chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

The three of them winked at each other, one attracted attention from the front and even exchanged injuries, while the other two attacked from the side.

After all, the assassin was only one person and his right hand was disabled, he was cut several times in a short while, and gradually lost his fighting power.

Just when Wang Busi and the others were about to take him down with all their might, they saw the assassin glaring at Chen Jingke fiercely with blood-red eyes, and shouted:

"You heretic demon, Duke Ming will not let you go."

After speaking, he raised the sharp knife and stabbed himself in the neck, which should have cut off the main artery, and the blood spurted out like a fountain.

Chen Jingke's heart was suffocated, and a chill ran through his body in an instant. Before, he had only heard of the dead man, but today he finally saw it.

But when he thought of Yi Nu in his arms, infinite anger surged in his heart again, and he said, "Take his body back and find out his identity at all costs. I will make those people pay the price."

Wang Busi and the others hurriedly said, "Here."

At this time, Xu Shanying and Yan Feng also escorted the thief back, and they were shocked when they saw this scene.The thief even fell limp on the ground, and a stream of yellow water flowed out from under his buttocks.

Chen Jingke gave him a cold look, and said, "Take him back and interrogate him together."

At this moment, he also gradually regained some sense. Seeing Yi Nu's injury, his heart sank, and he said, "Go find a car and put some more quilts on."

Xu Shanying responded and quickly went to the side to find a carriage.

At this time, Cong Qi arrived with a group of Taoist priests who knew kung fu, and he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the situation here, but he felt relieved when he saw that Chen Jingke was fine:
"Really, the subordinate is late."

Chen Jingke realized that there was a problem, and said, "Why are you here? Do you know that someone is going to assassinate?"

Cong Qidao: "Yes, Fang Ming from Longtian Temple came to the temple to inform that someone was going to assassinate the real person. Mrs. Wu asked us to find you. Just now when I saw the chaos here, I came here to check... Fortunately, you are fine."

Chen Jingke looked at Yi Nu in his arms. Although he was weak but still conscious, he quickly told him, "Don't sleep, we'll go back right away."

Yi Nuqiang cheered up and said: "Well, I know, if you fall asleep, you will never see the real person again. I won't sleep."

Then Chen Jingke said to Cong Qi: "Fang Ming? Hehe, that's true."

"Take the assassin's body back, ask the best painter to paint him, issue a reward order on the Moon Watching Talk, use all the power of the Taoist sect, I want to find out his identity."

Cong Qi also knew the seriousness of the matter, and said, "Here."

At this time, the catcher was as late as in the film and television drama, and the leader was none other than Bai Lifu, the chief catcher of Wannian County.

Seeing the situation in front of him, he seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water. Chen Jingke was assassinated in the street.

Don't make any excuses for yourself, the assassination of an important person in your field is the biggest crime.

He bravely walked over and said, "I've seen Master Chen, are you not injured?"

Chen Jingke didn't mean to anger others for no reason. No one could have expected this kind of sudden assassination, and the arresters were not too late.

Even though he was in a bad mood, he nodded and said, "Do you know these two people?"

Bai Lifu hurriedly went to identify it, and seeing the assassin shook his head and said he didn't recognize him; seeing the one alive, his surprised eyes almost popped out, and said:

"Chen Ergou, it's you?"

Chen Ergou, who had been sitting paralyzed on the ground, seemed to see a great savior, and rushed over to hug his leg and said, "Bai Butou, Bai Butou, you have to save me, I really... I really didn't do this!" of."

"I just stole this man's purse. He kept chasing me, and I kept running... I don't know why it became like this."

"This..." Bai Lifu looked like he didn't know what to do.

Chen Jingke said expressionlessly: "Bai Tutou knows him? If you are willing to guarantee him, you can take him away now."

Bai Lifu couldn't help shivering, and said quickly: "No, no, no, how could I have nothing to do with this kind of ruffian... Ah, no, the assassin knew..."

As he spoke, he drew out his waist knife, and slammed it hard on Chen Ergou's arm with the scabbard.

Chen Ergou screamed and rolled on the ground holding his arms.

Chen Jingke then said: "Take him back and interrogate him strictly, don't care about his life or death."

"Here." Cong Qi walked over and kicked him in the face, a few teeth fell out: "Noisy, gag him and take him away."

Two Taoist priests came up and tied him up to control him, and another two Taoist priests dragged the assassin's body and threw it aside.

Bai Lifu acted as if he didn't see it, and let them take him away.

The four of Yan Feng watched helplessly, which meant that Chen Jingke no longer trusted them, and it would be a disaster for them.

Soon Xu Shanying drove over in a carriage covered with thick quilts.

Chen Jingke carefully put Yi Nuping on it, and said: "Go back, be steady on the road and don't be too bumpy."

Xu Shanying carefully drove the carriage back.

A carriage with a shed was also found from Qi's side, and the bodies of Chen Ergou and the assassin were thrown into it.Zixiao Temple is a pure place of Taoism, and people should not be seen dragging corpses into it.

Bai Lifu watched them leave, and quickly led them back to the Yamen.We must tell the county magistrate about this as soon as possible so that we can discuss countermeasures.

……

It took Chen Jingke and his party more than ten minutes to rush back to Zixiao Temple. Two carriages entered Zixiao Temple directly from the main entrance and all the way to the backyard.

Sun Simiao, Wu Shu and others who had heard the news a long time ago rushed up to meet him, and they were relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

Seeing Sun Simiao, Chen Jingke grabbed his hand and said, "Master, take a quick look at Yi Nu...you must save him."

Sun Simiao said solemnly: "Don't worry, Master will do his best to keep her."

Then he ordered people to carefully carry her into the operating room, and all the surgical elites of Zixiao Temple went in.

After the door of the operating room was closed, Chen Jingke sat down on the stone steps, holding his head in his hands.

He knew that he was afraid of death, and that he was not the kind of smart and fearless person, but his performance in the face of the assassination today still made him feel deeply ashamed.

When listening to stories, I always like to point fingers from the perspective of God. It's really my turn. I didn't expect my performance to be so poor.

But if he had been more courageous and dodged a little at that time, Yi Nu would not have had to block the knife for him, and he would not have been as dangerous as he is now.

Wu Shu came over and stood in front of him, held his head in his arms and said, "Don't worry, Yi Nu will be fine."

Chen Jingke's tears flowed out again uncontrollably, and said: "At that time, when I saw the assassin stabbing at me, I was so frightened and stupid, I didn't dare to move, I just watched..."

"Do you think I'm useless? It's me who made Yi Nu look like this..."

Wu Shu gently touched his head, and comforted him: "No, you have always been timid, stupid, and sometimes reckless..."

"But you are very kind, knowledgeable, insightful, and know a lot of knowledge that others don't... This is your strength..."

"It's normal for you to be afraid that you won't be able to react when you face an assassin, and it would be the same for me..."

"And you never thought that the enemy would use such a despicable method, so you were unprepared..."

"Don't feel guilty, I believe Yi Nu didn't want you to be like this when he blocked that knife for you... Besides, she will be fine with Master..."

Under her comfort, Chen Jingke's heart gradually calmed down.He hugged her waist with his backhand and buried his head in her abdomen for a long time without moving.

Wu Shu also stopped talking and just hugged him like this.

It took a long time before he let go of her, raised his head and said, "Thank you."

Wu Shu said softly: "What are you doing with me so politely? This is what I should do."

Chen Jingke took a deep breath and said, "Fang Ming is still there?"

Wu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, his appearance is too weird. I can't let him go...Did the assassin say anything?"

Chen Jingke rubbed his face, and said: "I said, before he committed suicide, he said that I was a heretic and evil spirit, and he also said that the king would not let me go."

Wu Shu's face turned cold, and he said, "Heretics is what Buddhism calls non-Buddhist believers. Heretics and demons are what they call anti-Buddhist people. If I'm not mistaken, Ming Wang should be Fudo Ming Wang..."

"It seems that this assassin was really sent by Buddhism...Longtian Temple is very suspicious, even if it is not them, it has something to do with them."

Chen Jingke nodded and said, "If Fang Ming doesn't come, it can also be explained that someone deliberately blamed Buddhism. If he comes, it means that this dead man must have something to do with them."

"The assassin is not a dead man." Yang Tianlu's voice came from the side.

Chen Jingke looked at him and asked directly, "What did you find?"

Yang Tianlu came over, stood not far from him and said: "The dead men have undergone special training, and they will not carry any identification that can prove their identity when performing tasks, and they will not leave any revealing words before death, unless they I want to blame others."

"But Fang Ming's arrival means that he is not setting the blame on him. In turn, it proves that this assassin is not a dead man, but a Dharma protector supported by Buddhism."

Chen Jingke nodded slightly and said, "Is there any more?"

Yang Tianlu continued: "I checked the corpse, and there are many scars left by knives, guns and arrows on the body...Nine out of ten were in the army."

"Those scars are very old, which means that he joined the army a long time ago. Looking at his age, he is about 40 years old..."

He stopped suddenly at this point.

Chen Jingke asked: "And then?"

Wu Shu continued: "Are you trying to say that this person left the army due to some accident more than ten years ago and became a Samana guardian?"

Yang Tianlu praised: "Ms. Wu is really smart, she can guess right."

Chen Jingke said displeasedly: "Can you two stop playing charades and talk directly if you have something to say."

Wu Shu reminded: "More than ten years ago, this person should have been in his twenties. What kind of thing made him leave the army and hide his name?"

Chen Jingke frowned and thought about it. More than ten years ago, there was a major change... A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he said, "You mean Xuanwu... that thing?"

Wu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, that's the matter."

Yang Tianlu added: "But we can't be completely sure that it happened at that time, or it may be that he committed a crime in the army and fled and was taken in by Buddhism... Now everything is just speculation."

Chen Jingke said: "Whether the guess is right or wrong, this is a clue... Find an artist to draw his appearance..."

"Forget it, don't look for a painter. Go to the backyard and find Mei Laoshi, and ask him to carve out this person's face. The more resemblance the better, it's best to be exactly the same."

Chinese painters have a problem with figure painting. Most of them only pay attention to the artistic conception of the spirit, and the appearance is another matter.

In particular, the method used by Yamen to draw the portraits of wanted criminals can be described as shocking.

It is more suitable for those illiterate craftsmen in the outer court who can only reproduce the original objects, they are guaranteed to restore the appearance of the characters one by one.

"After carving out the person, I will print it. I want everyone in Chang'an City to have a portrait to confirm the true identity of this assassin."

Yang Tianlu nodded in agreement and said: "It's best to go to the army and ask... Besides, although this person's attire is hidden, he should show up in front of people occasionally, so it's easier to find clues."

Just as he was speaking, the door of the operating room opened, and Sun Simiao walked out wearily.

Chen Jingke hurriedly got up and rushed over to ask, "Master, how is Yi Nu?"
