The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 130 The Assassination Begins

The tenth day after Li Ji left.

night!
A cold wind blew in a swaying dark cloud, and in the evening it began to rain lightly.

The people in Taichang City were in a hurry, and they all ran home in panic, fearing that they would get caught in the rain if they ran too late.

The streets were already deserted at this moment, with only patrolling soldiers passing by occasionally!

Susu!

There was a huge old locust tree growing next to an inconspicuous well in the south of the city. After a group of patrolling soldiers passed under the tree, the leaves on the tree crown trembled, and then a stern-faced young man with a sword on his back got out of the leaves. come out.

The long sword behind him is different from ordinary swords. It is made of bronze, and the sword is covered with patina.

The boy's steps were very light, leaving no trace even if he stepped on the mud wetted by rain.

He just tiptoed towards the streets of Taichang City. At the same time, his ears were trembling slightly. As long as there was the slightest movement around him, he would immediately stop moving and hibernate quietly in the dark corner.

Even if a patrolling soldier passes in front of him, he remains unmoved, and his psychological quality is extremely high.

In this way, he followed the eaves and the darkness under the walls to the street. At this time, he couldn't help but look up at the brightly lit Sui Palace in the distance. He roughly estimated the distance between them, and then lurked behind him. The shape continues forward.

However, just as he quietly hid in a hidden alley along the crack in the wall at the corner of the street, he suddenly heard an unusual hissing sound in his ears.

The experienced young man immediately recognized the sound of a snake swallowing its messages.

Before he could raise his head, he drew his sword and slashed upwards, his attack extremely decisive and cruel.

when!
The bronze sword blade seemed to have struck something hard. The young man's mouth was numb from the shock, and he almost let go of the bronze sword.

At this time, he had no time to hide himself. He jumped a few steps and exited the alley, then looked up.

A huge white python was coiled up on the wall, and its eyes were staring at him.

There is still some remaining bronze slag at the corner of the white python's mouth. It seems that the sword just struck there, but it did not even cut through the white python's skin.

When the young man saw this, he turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

But now that I'm here, it's not that easy to leave.

The young man ran out of the alley only to find that he was surrounded by soldiers, and the leader was Zhang Daxiucai, a scholar who had changed into a Confucian shirt. Oh, maybe he should be called by his official title and real name now, the emperor personally named the chief guard of the imperial guards. Zhang Jiandao!
The previous name of Zhang Daxiucai could not be verified before. This was the name he gave himself after entering the Sui Dynasty.

Zhang Jiandao holds a soft sword in his hand and is elegant and suave. He really seems to be somewhat of an outsider.

He looked at the young man rushing out of the alley and snorted coldly: "Be smart, throw away your weapon and get arrested, otherwise I will arrest you!"

These two sentences are sonorous and powerful, which is worthy of his status as a scholar.

However, the cold-faced boy turned a deaf ear and just lowered his body and placed the bronze sword in front of him, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Zhang Jiandao.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiandao also became interested and waved his hand to signal the troops not to come forward.

"I want to see what you thieves are capable of!"

Swish!
Zhang Jiandao was the first to strike, and the soft sword in his hand pierced the young man's throat like a python coming out of its hole. The latter was not an easy person, and after seeing the coming force of the soft sword, he immediately raised his bronze sword to resist.

However, the biggest advantage of a weapon like the Soft Sword is that it has no fixed moves.Just as the tip of the soft sword was about to be blocked by the broad bronze sword body, the soft sword body suddenly turned around, bypassing the bronze sword and directly cutting a huge bloody gash on the young man's shoulder.

Zhang Jiandao was a well-known hero before he entered the court, and his strength was not weak. Coupled with Li Ji's teachings to him before leaving, although his strength had not improved, his swordsmanship had improved by leaps and bounds. It was difficult to deal with this man who had rashly entered the palace. The thieves in Changcheng are still no problem.

The young man's decision-making was also very decisive. When the sword blade cut through his shoulder, he knew that he was no match for the Confucian scholar in front of him, so he decisively bit a poison sac hidden in his mouth and prepared to kill himself.

However, just when the potion in the poison sac was about to be cut down his throat and into his abdomen, Zhang Jiandao suddenly rushed forward with a lunge, turned the soft sword in his hand, and tapped the young man's abdomen heavily with the end of the hilt.

The next second, the boy clutched his stomach and fell to the ground uncontrollably, convulsing. At the same time, a violent burst of gastric juice spurted out, spitting out the poison that had not yet reached his abdomen.

Then Zhang Jiandao stepped forward and stuffed a large stone into the boy's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Then Zhang Jiandao waved his hand gently, and the soldier behind him stepped forward and tied up the young man.

Everyone worked together to strip the young man naked. Under the young man's clothes were hidden numerous hidden weapons that could hurt people. There was also a suicide mechanism triggered by impact at his heart.

They did this out of necessity.

Before that, they had caught seven assassins who looked exactly like the boy, but those assassins always succeeded in committing suicide immediately, making their work in vain and not catching a single one alive.

Today’s is the first one.

Just as everyone was busy tying up the boy, the white python in the alley also wandered out.

Seeing him, many soldiers, including Zhang Jiandao, immediately cupped their fists and said, "See you, Lord Snake Immortal!"

Apart from Zhou Bai, there was naturally no other person who could be called the Snake Immortal in the Sui Dynasty.

In the past two days, there had been a series of assassinations in the city, and Zhou Bai couldn't sit still anymore, so he moved from the mountain col to the Snake Immortal Temple in Taichang City.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at the naked young man, and then at the bronze sword thrown on the ground, his eyes full of worry.

Zhou Bai had realized that these people were Jiang Zhi's men since the first boy came to the city to assassinate him.

At that time, in a battle on the border between Sui and Zhou Dynasty, two young men under Jiang Zhi defeated two military disciples, and the result was quite astonishing.

At this time, they appeared in Taichang City again, which Zhou Bai had to pay attention to.

Therefore, he had already made a plan with Zhang Jiandao. As long as he caught a living person, Zhang Jiandao would interrogate him and be sure to ask about their plan to enter Taichang City this time.

Although it was definitely Jiang Zhi who caused the trouble, where was Jiang Zhi?

As the leader of these people, it was impossible for him not to come.

Zhou Bai nodded slightly to Zhang Jiandao, who immediately understood, clasped his fists and said: "Please rest assured, sir, I will interrogate him all night and I will definitely be able to get some information from this person!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bai also nodded, and then turned around to leave.

However, at this moment, a rapid ringing of bells suddenly came from the palace, which was brightly lit like daylight.

At first the sound was only two or three, but it soon evolved into a violent and noisy sound that could be heard throughout the city.

Zhou Bai and Zhang Jiandao were shocked when they heard the sound, and Zhou Bai rushed towards the palace like an arrow from a string.
