Chapter 277: Gunshots in the middle of the night
Although Tuyuhun is not a strong country, their post house is built very large and gorgeous, because the weaker the country, the more important it is to entertain the envoys of the powerful countries, especially the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Hao stayed in the post house, he first took someone to thoroughly inspect the west courtyard, not letting go of a single grass or tree, and even sent someone down to the waterhole, and then let the princess live with confidence, and then he lived in the east courtyard, leaving only the blade team to guard the courtyard, as for the kitchen, he specially sent five soldiers to guard it, in case someone did something in the food. Li Hao is afraid of death, so he is very cautious in dealing with the world, and now that he is in a foreign capital, he naturally has to be more careful.
When night fell, Li Hao went to bed early, because he had to go to meet the king of Tuyuhun early tomorrow morning, just when he went to bed, the Tuyuhun soldiers guarding the periphery of the post house had quietly entered the post house with a bronze complexion, opposite the post house, there was a restaurant, the window on the second floor was half hidden, and a person had been looking towards the post house, it was the mighty march to He Shi.
"General, Songamima has infiltrated the inn." A middle-aged man in a power suit came upstairs to report to He Shi.
"Hmm." He Shi nodded and said, "Don't rush first, and then do it in two hours." β
"Yes!" The middle-aged man commanded the order and quickly ran downstairs.
At this moment, in the inn next to the restaurant, a group of people gathered in a room, confronting a map and constantly plotting, the leader was a bald head, he was the disciple of the Tubo National Teacher, Dawa Dunzhu.
Dawa Dunzhu pointed to the map of the inn and said in Tubo: "The princess of the Tang Dynasty lives in the west courtyard, Li Hao lives in the east courtyard, when you act, Sanji, you take the rest of the people to the west courtyard, create chaos after sneaking in, pretend to assassinate the princess, and lead Li Hao's guards in the east courtyard over, and I sneak into the east courtyard, waiting for the opportunity to attack, assassinate Li Hao, remember, there is only one chance, don't make a mistake." β
"Hi Yeha! (Yes)" everyone whispered.
Gradually late at night, on the top of the moon, at midnight, Songa Mima came to the gate of the East Courtyard under the cover of the guards, and inside was Li Hao's residence, two special forces patrolled back and forth in the courtyard, although there were more than 20 people in the Blade Special Combat Team, but because of the need to change the guard, only half of the people on duty were on duty, and after more than half an hour, it was time for the change of guard.
"What people!" The Tuyuhun guard in the front yard suddenly let out a low voice, and then there was a rush of running.
The special forces in the east courtyard were shocked when they heard the sound, and the bright posts and secret sentinels rushed out of the courtyard gate, only to see the Tuyuhun guards running wildly to the south, as if they were chasing someone, and they also chased them out.
As soon as they left, Songamima, who was hiding in the grass in the corner of the wall, rushed into the courtyard in a flash, quickly hid behind the rockery, and carefully observed the movement in the courtyard.
There was silence in the courtyard, only the sound of insects, no one, Songamima breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to walk towards Li Hao's room, just took two steps, there was a muffled sound, it seemed to be the sound of a bowstring, Songamima fell to the ground with a miserable scream, and her left leg knee had been pierced by a crossbow arrow.
Then two figures ran out of nowhere, and they were Lin Dingkun and Chen Haijin.
The two pointed at Songa Mima with knives, and Lin Dingkun smiled proudly: "If you want to divert the tiger from the mountain, hehe, you are too naΓ―ve, let's say, who sent you?" β
Holding her injured leg, Songamima snorted and said a Tibetan word.
Lin Dingkun was stunned and looked at Chen Haijin: "What did he say?" β
"Hell knows." Chen Hai shrugged his shoulders.
"It sounds like a Tibetan dialect." Lin Dingkun frowned and looked at Songamima, "You're not from Tuyuhun?" β
Although Tuyuhun has its own language, because it is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, most people can speak the Tang dialect.
Chen Haijin said: "Tuyuhun dialect is a bit similar to Tubo dialect, don't be mistaken." β
Lin Dingkun was not very sure when he heard this, thought about it, and said, "I can only disturb Hou Ye and let Hou Ye decide." β
Chen Hai nodded and went up to knock on Li Hao's door, and Li Hao's yawning voice came from inside: "Who?" β
Chen Hai said closely: "Master Hou, I caught an assassin." β
"Oh? Assassin? Li Hao quickly put on his clothes and opened the door, "Where is the assassin?" β
Chen Hai pointed to the side of the rockery, Li Hao strode over, glanced at Songamima, and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you assassinate Benhou? β
Songamima said another Tibetan dialect.
Li Hao frowned when he heard this: "Tubo dialect? Are you from Tibet? β
"Yes." Songamima nodded and replied in a very non-standard Datang dialect, and it is estimated that he will be able to speak such a simple Datang dialect.
Li Hao laughed, waved his hand and said, "Search." β
Chen Hai stepped forward to search for Songjiamima's body, a scimitar, some Tibetan coins and broken silver, and some Tibetan ornaments that only Tubo people would wear, and everything else was gone.
Li Hao looked at these things, raised his eyebrows and said: "Sure enough, it's a Tubo person, it seems that the Tubo side wants me to die, hehe, but I'm afraid they will be disappointed, and the assassination will also send some clever people, send this kind of goods, is it perfunctory or disgusting to me?" β
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hospital, the special forces came back, and Li Hao asked Lin Dingkun puzzled: "Where did they go just now?" β
Lin Dingkun said: "Master Hou forgives the sin, just now this assassin's accomplice used a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, and his subordinates saw through it at a glance, and his subordinates wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, so they planned to let them pretend to go out to chase the assassin and lure the assassin to appear." β
"Well, good job." Li Hao gave Lin Dingkun a thumbs up and said approvingly, "I'm getting more and more smart, keep it up." β
After he finished speaking, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, just at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, his good dream was disturbed, and his head hurt a little, so he turned around and walked to the room, and said, "I will continue to go back to sleep, and you will have a good rest after the change of guard, and you will be busy tomorrow." β
Lin Dingkun hurriedly asked: "Master Hou, what should I do with this person?" β
Li Hao waved his hand: "Kill it, don't kill it and keep it for the New Year?" β
As soon as the words fell, Lin Dingkun hugged Songamima's neck and twisted suddenly, and the crisp sound of "Galala" came, Songjamima screamed miserably, rolled his eyes, and confessed. There happened to be a waterhole behind the rockery, Lin Dingkun threw the body into the waterhole, so as not to provoke insects and ants, and let the soldiers of Tuyuhun deal with it after dawn tomorrow.
Lin Dingkun and the others returned to their respective positions and guarded the eastern courtyard tightly, even if a mouse passed by, they would be shot through by their crossbow arrows.
Suddenly, there was a faint noise in the direction of the West Courtyard, because it was separated from a garden, and it was not too real, Chen Hai hurriedly asked: "There is movement over there in the West Courtyard, what happened?" β
Lin Dingkun said: "I don't know, could it be that there are assassins over there?" β
"I'll take a look." Chen Haijin hurriedly rushed out of the shadows and ran out of the east courtyard.
As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he saw a soldier wearing a Tang military uniform rushing over, and as soon as he met Chen Haijin, he hurriedly said: "Quick!" Express Hou Ye, someone assassinated the princess! β
Chen Hai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How many assassins are there?" β
"Eleven." The soldier thought for a moment, then added, "Eleven have been found. The implication was that they didn't know if there were any other Assassins hiding in the shadows.
When Chen Hai heard this, he hurriedly returned to the courtyard and shouted, "Come out!" β
All the special forces hiding in the shadows appeared one after another, and when they came to Chen Haijin, Lin Dingkun asked, "Why did you come back so soon?" β
Chen Haijin hurriedly said: "Just now, the soldiers of the Western Courtyard came to report that someone assassinated the princess, there were many assassins, a total of eleven people, and I don't know if there are any assassins hiding in the shadows, do we want to report to Master Hou?" β
"Master Hou has only been asleep for a short time, how can you disturb him again." Lin Dingkun groaned slightly, and then said, "You bring fifteen people over to the sea, and guard them strictly outside the princess's room, and I and the rice bucket are here to guard the Hou Ye." "The rice bucket is the code name of a special forces soldier of their special combat team, and because it is too edible, all of them have such a code name.
"Can you two do it?" Chen Haijin asked with a worried face, for him, it doesn't matter if something happens to the princess, Li Hao can't have an accident.
Lin Dingkun said: "Then why don't you wake up the Hou Ye and ask." β
"Forget it, don't disturb Master Hou's rest." Chen Haijin also knew that time was pressing, so he shouted, "Stay at the rice bucket, and the others will come with me." Then he hurried away with the crowd.
As soon as they left, Lin Dingkun and the rice bucket hid in the courtyard on two thick trees with thick bowls, although the trees were not thick, but the branches and leaves were lush, and it was difficult to be noticed when hiding on them at night.
There is still half of the changing of the guard, Lin Dingkun did not relax at all, staring at the quiet yard without blinking, suddenly, he felt that the hairs all over his body stood up, years of experience told him that there was danger behind him, he just wanted to jump from the tree, suddenly felt that the neck was hit by a heavy object, and then fainted, fell straight down from the tree, "poof", made a big sound.
The rice bucket on the other tree was startled when he saw this, he originally thought that another assassin was coming, but when he saw that it was Lin Dingkun who fell from the tree, and he didn't move after he landed, it seemed that he didn't fall lightly, he actually fainted, he jumped down with a low cry, came to Lin Dingkun's side, and shook Lin Dingkun gently: "Captain!" Wake up, Captain! β
Just as the rice bucket shook Lin Dingkun, a figure flew down from the tree, his elbow slammed into the back of his head, and the rice bucket snorted, lying on Lin Dingkun's body, and passed out.
After the sneak attacker landed, he removed the hood on his head, revealing a smooth and slippery bald head, which could still reflect in the moonlight, like a light bulb, with the help of the moonlight, his figure and face could be seen clearly, thin and tall, with a long face, thick eyebrows, a very high nose bridge, and a large mouth, it was Dawatunzhu.
Dawa Dunzhu easily solved the two special forces, and then took a step and was about to walk to Li Hao's room, he just stepped on the stone steps of the corridor, Li Hao's door creaked open, only to see Li Hao yawn out, and said as he walked: "Can you be quieter when you are guarding, littering things......"
People have their eyes closed when they yawn, so Li Hao didn't see the outside situation when he yawned, when he finished yawning, he saw Dawa Dunzhu, he was stunned, Dawa Dunzhu was also stunned, the two looked at each other for a second, Li Hao suddenly grinned: "I'm sorry, it's late at night, I don't see guests!" With that, he took a step back, and his hands were ready to close the door.
Dawa Dunzhu rushed forward with a kick and kicked the door open, Li Hao hurriedly rushed to the side of the bed, picked up his pocket pistol, and held it in his hand.
The moonlight spilled into the room from the door, reflecting the figures of the two, the corners of Dawadunzhu's mouth were lightly raised, he pulled out a scimitar and pointed at Li Hao, and asked in Chinese: "You are Li Hao of the Tang Dynasty?" β
Li Hao blinked quickly: "I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person, I'm not Li Hao." β
"Nonsense." Dawa Dunzhu snorted coldly, "You are Li Hao!" β
"Okay, I'm Li Hao." Li Hao smacked his lips helplessly and asked, "In the middle of the night, why are you breaking into my room, let me tell you, I'm not interested in men." β
"The legendary Tang Dynasty boy Yingjie turned out to be nothing more than that." Wada paused and sneered, "I am Dawa Dunzhu, a disciple of the Tubo National Master, and I came to take your head on the order of the Prime Minister. β
"From Tibet?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, "You Tubo really hate me, you actually assassinated me twice in a row in one night!" I'll just say, the previous assassin was too vegetable, like a joke. β
Dawa Dunzhu said: "The one just now was not sent by our Tubo. β
"Didn't you send it from Tibet?" Li Hao's eyes widened and he asked, "Who sent that?" β
Dawatonzhu said, "He was put in by the Tuyuhun guards. β
"It turned out that Tuyuhun sent it, and I want to blame you Tubo, hey, Tuyuhun is deducting basins on your heads, can you bear it?"
Dawa Dunzhu said indifferently: "I will go back and tell the prime minister about this matter, and the decision of the great minister will be decided, and my task is to take your head." β
Li Hao gaged: "What's so good about my head, and you can't kick it as a ball, by the way, you are the disciple of the Tubo National Master, are you good at martial arts, if you are powerful, I will hire you with a lot of money and give you thirty taels of gold every month, what do you think?" When he said this, he raised his eyebrows again and again, and looked like he was underwhelmed.
"Don't try to stall anymore." Dawa Dunzhu said coldly, "Your subordinates have all gone to the West Courtyard to protect your princess, and they will not come back in a short time, besides, even if they come back, it is useless, although they are all very powerful, but I can get out of the way." β
Li Hao's heart sank when he heard this, this person has obviously been lurking here for a while, he has seen the power of special forces, but he still dares to say such things, it seems that martial arts are indeed extraordinary, it should not be under Lu Yun, Li Hao really wants to recruit such a master, so he said: "Don't worry, I don't want to delay time, I really want to recruit you, you think about it, if you have any requirements, as long as I can afford it, I will definitely meet you." β
Dawa Dunzhu shook his head slowly: "You can't meet my request." β
"Speak up and listen." Li Hao spread his hands, "Maybe I can do it." β
Dawa Dunzhu said coldly: "I only need your head on your neck, can you give it to me?" β
"Tsk." Li Hao smacked his lips and said depressedly, "You really can't chat, you have to talk to death, right, since that's the case, then I'm not welcome, I'm sorry, you won't see the sun tomorrow." As he spoke, he raised his right hand, the muzzle of his pocket pistol aimed at Dawatunzhu.
"Bang!" A gunshot pierced the night sky, like thunder, and spread throughout the entire eastern courtyard.
