Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 374: Assassination!

ps: I still insisted on writing in July during the cold period, and asked for a monthly ticket at the end of the month for comfort (>_

Zhuan's actions shocked a group of people in the stands, but not everyone was stunned. (Baidu search to force literature network to update the fastest and most stable)

It was too late, but it was too fast. After the crucian carp drew the sword, two warriors flashed out beside Zhao Wuxi. One was Mu Xia, who held a small shield and a standard short sword, and the other was Tian Ben, who had a short left hand. Sword, halberd in right hand. Today, they are all dressed in scholar's clothes to guard around Wu Xie. When the crucian carp changes, the two immediately stand in front of Wu Xie.

However, they did not confront Zhuan Carp. Mu Xia looked at the source of the sound and blocked it with a backhand. With a dull bang, a cold arrow shot from the dark was blocked by the small round shield in his hand. Tian Ben waved his hand, and the short halberd, which had been practiced thousands of times, flew out, killing the arrow shooter who was hiding in the shadow more than ten steps away. The man let out a painful cry and fell under the stand. After he rolled, he bled all over the floor and died.

"There are assassins!"

Only then did Zi Gong, Yan Yan and the others react. They also drew their swords to defend themselves. At the same time, they shouted softly to summon the guards.

Zhuanyan didn't expect what happened next. He murmured in Wu language and translated the words, and everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was not a quarrel and a conflict, but the crucian carp sensed the danger. As a warrior who fought since childhood, he found that there was a faint killing intent around him, so he drew his sword to be on guard. Unexpectedly, the dark arrow who was hiding in the dark just showed his head, and was solved by two shirtless guards. Quite frustrated now.

The arena was designed with safety factors in mind. In an instant, a group of military pawns and soldiers from the state of Cao rushed to the stands from the corridor, holding large shields and guarding all the nobles, and the opponents could not hurt even a thousand arrows.

At the same time, some soldiers ran to the audience seats, maintaining order while arresting fellow assassins: a few people tried to rush to the stand where the nobles were, but the battle ended before they reached the top of the steps. They had no choice but to watch their comrades get killed, and then retreated into the crowd. The idea is to take advantage of the chaos to get away.

In the stands, Wu Xie kept his composure from beginning to end. He knew that he was not a swordsman, so he could only rely on the few warriors around him for all safety issues. Mucha and Tian Ben learned the lesson of Gu Yezi's assassination of Le Qi with one enemy and a hundred in Taihang Goat Changban last time. After a painful recollection, this time the assassination was successfully prevented.

The cold arrow just now was not aimed at Uncle Cao, nor at Ji Qin and Qu Wuji, but at Zhao Wuxi's face, which shows that what the assassin wanted was his life!

...

after the assassination. Wu Xie also asked people to go to the box on the side to protect the safety of Bo Mi, Xing Ao and others, and then he thought about it.

The assassin's weapon had been picked up by Tian Ben. It was a small hand crossbow and several poison-dipped arrows with arrows shining green. The crossbow is not unique to Zhao Wuxi's family. It began to spread in Jin and Chu, and people in Wu and Qi countries have also tried it, so it doesn't explain much.

But the assassin's target is him. That's right, so who could be behind the scenes?

Wu Xie suddenly realized that he had a lot of enemies recently. So the answer is really hard to guess.

In addition to the domestic Fan and Bank of China, it is possible that the Chen Clan of the Qi Kingdom could have dispatched such a large-scale effort to infiltrate Taoqiu and the arena to assassinate them.

He ruled out the possibilities one by one, and finally focused on Fan, who had a feud for killing his son, and his ally Zhong Xing, but at this time the dust was undecided, and it was not the time to draw conclusions.

There was anger in him. If he caught the anger of others for coveting his precious life, if he caught the mastermind behind the scenes, he would definitely repay it a thousandfold! There is also disdain, since the two sides have already grieved to such an extent. You don't even dare to confront him head-on, do you only dare to use this method?

Just like what the Wu Wang faction wanted to do to Qingji...

The crucian carp, who had just held his breath but failed, did not relax his vigilance because the soldiers came in. His eyes suddenly fixed on a curtain not far behind him. The silk curtain inside fluttered slightly with the wind. Everything seems to be working fine.

However, Zhuanxuan felt that something was wrong. There should be two guards left by the people of Wu to guard it. There was such a big movement outside just now, they should have rushed out. If there was an assassin, the position just now was directly facing Zhao Wuxi's back. If he suddenly attacked with the dark arrow in front of him, the chance of success would be very high.

Zhuan crucian carp nodded towards Tian Ben. He had a good impression of this dual-wielding Yong Wuzi. The two walked towards the position in tacit understanding.

There were two corpses of Wu soldiers on the ground. These two men belonged to Zhuanjiao. They were very capable. Their sword fighting skills were also excellent in Wu **, but they were unexpectedly killed silently. There was no protest or sound.

Tian Ben circled around and said that there was no one there. There was only a tie tied to the eaves of the window, and the assassin escaped from here.

Zhuanxuan frowned. After carefully observing the corpse, he found that the smoothness and smallness of the wound shocked him. They were all killed by someone holding a short sword at the neck. This requires extremely superb swordsmanship, assassin's handwriting, and even He was also ashamed.

But after killing the guard, the person who started the attack did not continue to perform his duties, but withdrew. Thinking about it, Zhuanxuan should take the initiative to fight because of his skill, and running like this is a big loss.

"It's strange!" Zhuo crucian carp was puzzled by the strange style of the assassin.

...

What Zhao Wuxi and Zhuan Zhuan didn't even know was that just now, Yu Rang, a young man with a hooded face, a round bun, and thick eyebrows and big eyes, was hiding behind the curtain, waiting for his accomplices to attack.

The last time he met Zhao Wuxi for the first time was in the battle when the two sons Fan and Bank of China were hot-headed and wanted to sneak into Chengxiang. As the guide of Lu Liang's group of thieves, he almost besieged Zhao Wuxi on the mountain road, and was almost captured in reverse. Fortunately, he was agile and escaped directly from the cliff. Later, he was blamed by the furious Fan's gentleman, and he was asked to leave by the Bank of China. During this year, he existed as a member of the two gentlemen Fan and Bank of China to assassinate Zhao Wuxi.

In fact, the dark arrow is just a frontal lure to the enemy, and the real ultimate move is here!

Poison was extracted from the sword, and he would die at the sight of blood. As long as everyone was paying attention to the poisonous arrow, he rushed over and swiped at Zhao Wuxi, and this assassination plan would be successful.

Yu Rang has calculated that there is at least a 40% chance of succeeding, but he has a 99% chance of death! This is not the fate of a taxi. But Yu Rang had no choice because he had the ruler's life on his side.

As the time got closer, the more nervous he became, the conversation between Zhao Wuxi and Zhuan Crucian came. Their voices were relatively high, and they could be heard clearly not only in the noble stands in front of them, but also in the corridors separated by a wall.

Every word of Zhao Wuxi, whether it is to respect the wise men around him, or to put people first. Everyone said that Yu Rang was in his heart.

So when the bowstring as a signal rang softly, Yu Rang, who should have rushed out, couldn't move.

Because the assassination is not a matter of great wisdom and courage, and those who die without regrets cannot do it. At this time, Yu Rang can't do it, he can't make up his mind to die.

As early as when Yu Rang learned swordsmanship at a young age, he set himself the principle of "doing his monarch with no second thoughts". He is now a retainer of the Zhonghang clan, and he needs to be the monarch's goal and do his part. .

But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your life.

In the battle of becoming a village two years ago, he witnessed the frantic counterattack of the villagers, and the feat of Yu Rang, the emperor, driving his horse to smash into the Gemao human wall. The enemy is so brave. While this shocked him, he also felt like he was choking on his throat.

At that time, he thought: "It's great! Presumably, their gentlemen should treat each other like a countryman. Otherwise, why would everyone be willing to repay each other with death, and especially not regret it?"

Yu Rang asked himself again now, if he was a gentleman of the Zhongxing clan, he would not be able to do it to such an extent. Although the Bank of China Heihum seemed to respect him, he actually used it as an artifact, since he was only treated as "everyone". You can repay it with the hearts of the people.

This hesitation, the moment is fleeting. So Yu Rang saw that the person who shot the dark arrow was killed by Tian Ben throwing a short halberd with a backhand, and Zhuan Carp's eyes also turned to this side. So he took three steps back, then quickly untied a tie and escaped from the window eaves.

So when Zhuan Carp and Tian Ben rushed in. It was already empty inside.

"This time, I acted too hastily, and I was stabbed when I pulled the thorn. The guards around Zhao's son were too strict, even if I stepped forward, it would be in vain..."

While Yu Rang comforted himself like this, he changed into the attire of a merchant of the Cao Kingdom, and mixed into the crowd outside and escaped.

As for his accomplices still in the arena. There is basically no possibility of escape. The riots in the Chinese stands continued for a long time. There were seven or eight assassins in total, all of whom resisted, were killed, or died of poisoning. In the end, they failed to capture the survivors.

...

When the dust settled, Cao Bo, Da Sicheng, Ji Qin and others who were frightened in cold sweat had already left one after another.

There was also a false alarm in the box, but Bo Mi couldn't be relieved, so he asked Xing Ao to bring her over to see if Zhao Wuxi was injured. Although Bo Mi, who was dressed in white, was veiled, she couldn't hide her attractive waist and bright eyes. Everyone was guessing which son's concubine she was, but after bowing to everyone, she walked straight to the place. Zhao Wuxie was beside him.

"Is the gentleman all right?"

She looked more anxious and more pleasant. The people around Qu Wuji and others felt very amazed. Seeing that this woman was very concerned about Zhao Wuxian and her intimate behavior, she must have an extraordinary relationship with him. She was envious of Zhao Wuxian for such a beautiful blessing, and she could only speak and obey. looked away.

Zhao Wuxi saw that she was coming, and Qu Wuji had not left, so his mind moved, so he first showed her that he was not injured, and then thanked Zhuan crucian carp.

"Many thanks to Boyu for the warning, only the second and third sons can detect that there are assassins trying to do something wrong, but this is just like what I said, China's government is people-oriented. An, if I do not take care of the warriors around me and let them go to fight beasts and swords in order to please me and to please ghosts and gods, I will have no mercy or die today. this!"

Zhuan crucian carp had nothing to say about this, so he could only nod his head in agreement, but his eyes were fixed on Bo Mi, who was so beautiful and graceful, like a white cloud, this was the first time he had seen her.

So it wasn't until Zhao Wuxi called twice in a row that he realized that Wuxi was begging for a look at the fish intestines and sword.

He has a straightforward personality and doesn't hide his secrets. He simply drew his sword out of the sheath again, and put the fish intestines in the sun for everyone to see.

I saw that this sword is not only small, but also the pattern on the sword is like a fish intestine. This kind of fish intestine does not refer to the internal organs of raw fish, but to roast a fish, peel off the two flanks, and then look at the fish intestines.

It is said that this is the sword master Ou Yezi used the tin of Chijinshan Mountain and the copper of Ruoye River, after being struck by rain and lightning, he obtained the essence of heaven and earth, and made five swords, namely Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yuchang and Giant Que.

There are horses and swordsmen in the world. Xue Zhu, a swordsman of Yue, called the fish intestines sword, "It is against the logic and cannot be obeyed. The minister kills the ruler, and the son kills the father."

So the king of Yue had a crooked mind~www.readwn.com~ It turns out that this sword was born against the law and the order. It was used to kill the king and kill the father. It was really terrible. Go scourge your neighbors. At that time, the relationship between Wu and Yue had not reached the level of life and death, so he took advantage of the opportunity to recruit Wu State to present fish intestines to Wu Wang Shoumeng. Therefore, this sword entered Wu from Yue and was transferred to the hand of the son Guang, and this was the case. Zhuan Zhu stabbed Wang Liao with a fish intestine, and later it became the heirloom of Zhuan's family.

"As expected of the gods in the world!" Zhao Wuxi praised him, secretly thinking that the death of King Wu of Wu was not wrong. Immediately in front of Zhuanyan and Yanyan, he raised his sword Shaolong, but his eyes were on Qu Wuji.

"All famous swords must not be without accessories. If you look at the intestines of fish, why not look at my sword again?" (To be continued.)
