Cao Liang was suddenly happy, the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.

originally thought that today was a mortal situation, Cao Liang could also see that it was really difficult to protect himself with the strength of Fang Bu alone, and his own force was very ordinary, purely a battle scum, and he had a trick with ordinary people, maybe it was okay, but in the face of this terrifying assassin, Cao Liang had no ability to protect himself at all.

Cao Liang was thinking about how to get out of trouble, but when he saw the other party falling down one after another, he was confused at the same time, but he was also secretly happy, no matter what, if there was divine help, the four killers went to two, and the rest was naturally not enough to worry about.

These assassins were supposed to assassinate others, but they didn't expect to be assassinated by others, and the plot reversed so quickly!

Judging from the two Assassins who fell to the ground, they were both killed by a short crossbow arrow shot into the temple, a fatal blow that was crisp and clean.

The speed of this crossbow arrow is undoubtedly much faster than that of ordinary crossbow arrows, otherwise it would be difficult for these assassins to hit in one hit.

So who sent this crossbowman?

Cao Liang was very puzzled, if it was sent by his father, it was not like it, after all, it was impossible for the bodyguard sent by his father not to support him.

But who else would send him a secret guard?

The two Assassins were killed instantly, and the remaining two Assassins were obviously unable to calm down, their eyes revealing a hint of panic, looking left and right, staring at their surroundings for fear of being attacked by the short crossbow bolts again.

In fact, the death of those two assassins does not mean that these crossbowmen are really so powerful and can do every shot, but that the attention of those assassins was all focused on Cao Liang and Fang Bu, so they gave the hidden crossbowmen a chance.

At this moment, the remaining two assassins were alert, and it would be difficult for the crossbowmen to sneak attack again.

However, the Assassin's attention turned in other directions, which undoubtedly provided Fang Bu with an opportunity, and he flew forward without hesitation, pulling his knife, slashing the enemy, and sheathing it, all in one go, and just as Fang Bu landed on his tiptoes, the two Assassins had already been stabbed in the throat and fell to the ground.

If you fight head-on, no matter how powerful Fang Bu is, he can't kill with one hit, and at this moment, the two assassins were distraught, so Fang Bu took advantage of the opportunity to kill the enemy under the knife.

Cao Liang shouted at the woods in front of him: "Friend, thank you for coming to the rescue, can you see each other?" ”

Cao Liang shouted with a full sense of energy, but unfortunately there was no echo on the other side except for the rustling of leaves in the wind, as if there was no one there at all.

This made Cao Liang even more confused, it was obvious that someone was secretly protecting him, but this person seemed to be reluctant to show up, which is really too weird, right?

At this moment, a group of forbidden troops patrolling the city rushed over and surrounded the place.

Cao Liang immediately identified himself, and now Cao Liang is still wearing a suit of armor, which is the standard equipment of the Armed Guards, and the chief immediately treated Cao Liang with respect, and at the same time immediately sent someone to report to Shangfeng.

After a while, Xiahou Xuan hurried over, and when he saw the corpses all over the ground, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "Ziliang, you're not injured, right?" ”

Cao Liang smiled and said: "It's okay, these killers are not good at learning, and they actually learn to be assassins, so they can only die before they get out of school." ”

Xiahou Xuan complained: "Ziliang, it's all come to this point, you still have the leisure to joke?" Who sent these killers, and why did they target you, could it be that they were ...... a few days ago Did you find it? ”

Cao Liang pulled Xiahou Xuan aside so as not to be heard by others.

"This matter is indeed undoubtedly done by the Sima family, but the matter of Wen County should not be leaked, this time the Sima family sent a killer, it should be an old grudge, don't disrupt our plan because of this."

Xiahou Xuan said hatefully: "The people of the Sima family are really revenge, but they are too bold and reckless, and they dare to send murderers to kill people in the capital and the land, which is simply a king's law!" ”

Cao Liang glanced at the five masked corpses and said, "The Sima family dared to do this, naturally it was carefully considered, and you can't find any clues from these assassins." ”

Xiahou Xuan said in a deep voice: "No, I have to report this matter to my brother and ask him to send someone to investigate, and I must find out." ”

Cao Liang didn't object, it was good to investigate this matter, at least it made the Sima family jealous, and they didn't dare to act rashly in the follow-up actions.

Since the Sima family thinks that they have the intention of killing, then if the first blow is not successful, I am afraid that there will be a second and third time, the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, after all, it is a troublesome matter.

Xiahou Xuan patted Cao Liang's shoulder and said, "Ziliang, you have to be careful these days, the Sima family has not succeeded this time, there must be the next move, you have to be more vigilant." ”

Cao Liang asked, "Brother Tai Chu, did you send someone to protect me secretly?" ”

Xiahou Xuan was confused, shook his head and said, "No, didn't we say before, don't we go our separate ways these days, don't you want to contact us?" ”

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Oh, that's okay, farewell." ”

The two quickly parted, and to others it seemed like an exceptional business.

Xiahou Xuan instructed the forbidden soldiers to clean up the scene, and then he hurried to the General's Mansion to ask to see Cao Shuang.

When Cao Shuang heard that an assassin had assassinated Cao Liang, he was still quite surprised, after all, this happened in Luoyang City, and Luoyang City had not had an assassination incident for a long time, especially the assassination incident against the Cao clan.

However, when Xiahou Xuan proposed to investigate the matter thoroughly, Cao Shuang did not think so, most of the general assassination cases are headless public cases, not to mention that these assassins are dead, the so-called death has no evidence, it is difficult to find clues to solve the case, even if Cao Shuang sends people to search for it, it is estimated that there is no result.

So Cao Shuang naturally didn't bother to check.

Of course, this is also related to Cao Liang's identity, after all, Cao Liang is a small seven-grade official, and Cao Shuang naturally cannot mobilize the public for him.

If the Son of Heaven or an important minister of the court were assassinated, Cao Shuang's attitude would definitely not be like this.

Cao Shuang said: "Tai Chu, this investigation is estimated to be impossible to find anything, since the assassin has not succeeded, this matter will be like this for the time being, you go back and talk to that Cao Liang, let him be careful." ”

Xiahou Xuan was a little disappointed and was about to retreat, but Ding Mi on the side said: "General, this is a godsend, don't miss it." ”
