Chapter 250: The Latent Master
Li Hao camped outside Songzhou for a night, got up early the next morning, and led the army to Railzhou to borrow grain.
Just when Li Hao was spending the night outside Songzhou City, in the Hou Mansion of Lantian County, Lu Yun had already begun to deploy, preparing to kill Wu Meiniang according to Li Hao's request.
Killing Wu Meiniang is very simple, after all, she is just a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, with Lu Yun's strength, she can easily kill her hundreds of times without panting, the difficulty is how to deal with the aftermath, it has been twenty days since Li Hao set out on the expedition, Lu Yun has been planning the aftermath every day, and now, he has a plan.
If you want to get rid of the pot afterwards, you must create an accident, in ancient times, there was a lot of accidents better than fires, a fire, burned all the evidence, even the body was burned to the point that you were unrecognizable, even if someone wanted to investigate, where to start.
As for the cause of the fire, casually explain, after all, the ancient lighting was all made of open flames, and the structure of the house was all wood, the fire was not very normal, the most important thing is that Li Hao is now on the expedition, and there is a fire at home, no matter how much he pulls it, he can't pull it on Li Hao's head.
Lu Yun pondered it many times, and felt that his plan was foolproof, but in order to prevent accidents, he had to kill Wu Meiniang first, and then set fire, the fire should be enlarged a little, so that others could not go in to save people, otherwise things would be easy to be exposed, and the matter of arson would be handed over to Feiying, and Lu Yun would be responsible for killing.
Everything was arranged, that night, Lu Yun put on a night coat, wrapped his head and face with a black scarf, and came to Wu Meiniang's courtyard with a dagger in his hand.
After a while, Lu Yun wet the masked black towel with water to prevent himself from getting smoky, and then picked the door latch with a dagger, entered Wu Meiniang's house, and walked to the bed, only to see that Wu Meiniang was sleeping peacefully.
"Miss Wu, you and I have no grudges in the past, no grudges in recent days, and I killed you today, but I was really helpless and offended." Although Lu Yun had killed many people, it was the first time he had assassinated a weak woman, so he felt a little guilty in his heart, and said such a paragraph softly, and then he raised the dagger and cut it at Wu Meiniang's throat.
There was a crisp sound of "ding", Lu Yun's dagger was suddenly hit by some hidden weapon, and it swung more than a foot away, Lu Yun was taken aback, and shouted: "Who!" As he spoke, he turned abruptly, holding a dagger to his chest, and his eyes swept around, and at this moment the room was dark, only the two lanterns at the gate of the courtyard entered the room through the window, which was extremely faint.
Although the light in the room was very dark, Lu Yun's eyes had been trained, and even in such a dark situation, he could see the situation in the house clearly, and he could be sure that there was no one in the room.
Lu Yun moved lightly, moved out vigilantly, stepped on a hard object, picked it with his toes, the hard object flew up, he reached out and grabbed it, and when he looked closely, it was actually a piece of broken silver that weighed three or two, with such a small piece of broken silver, he could actually hit his dagger, Lu Yun was suddenly shocked, this person's martial arts may not be under him.
Lu Yun listened carefully for a moment, suddenly raised his hand, and the broken silver flew out, smashing upward, only to hear a slight sound of clothes fluttering, and a black figure fell from the beam of the room, facing Lu Yun, six feet away, also masked with a black scarf, unable to see his appearance clearly, and holding a sheathed long sword in his left hand.
"Who are you?" Lu Yun asked in a deep voice, "Why are you lurking in the Hou Mansion?" ”
"Who are you?" The man asked rhetorically, and from his voice it could be heard that he was not very old, not more than thirty years old.
Lu Yun knew that it would be futile to ask any more, so he directly brandished a dagger and killed him.
The man snorted coldly, drew his sword to meet him, easily picked off Lu Yun's dagger, the long sword flew around, cutting at Lu Yun's neck, Lu Yun was taken aback, lowered his head to avoid this sword, and slashed at the man's chest with a dagger, this move was extremely fast, and the angle was tricky, there was no way to avoid it, the man simply did not resist, and also stabbed Lu Yun in the chest with his sword, this is a lose-lose play.
But obviously Lu Yun suffered a loss, the long sword pierced his chest, it was certain death, and even if Lu Yun's dagger struck his chest, at most it could only hurt the other party, Lu Yun secretly regretted that he didn't bring a knife, in order to facilitate the assassination, he only brought a dagger, and in the face of such a scoundrel move, he could only stop and change his move.
Lu Yun and the other party had dozens of rendezvouses, and occasionally there were a few sounds of weapons clashing in the room, and the flying eagles who were waiting outside the house to set fire noticed the movement in the house, and were immediately startled, secretly thinking that there might be an accident, and hurriedly rushed into the courtyard with a few flying eagle team members.
It just so happened that Lu Yun and the mysterious black-clothed masked man broke out of the door, came to the courtyard, and continued to fight.
Seeing this, the flying eagle hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Help!" With that, he rushed forward with a dagger.
Although the Flying Eagle is a special soldier, when they are at home, they generally do not carry knives, because it is a forbidden thing, so they all carry daggers with them, but fortunately, they make good use of daggers, and the four of them just rushed up, and forced back the man in black.
"Kill him!" Lu Yun let out a low snort, and Feiying and the others stepped forward to surround him in the middle when they heard the sound.
The black-clothed masked man was not flustered, sneered, and killed one of the special forces with a sword, Lu Yun and Feiying They hurriedly besieged from the rear, and the attacked special forces saw that he was fierce, and hurriedly retreated, but the speed of the other party was too fast, I saw him rush forward and suddenly withdraw his sword, and instead kicked the special forces in the chest.
The special forces waved his hand to resist, who knew that the black-clothed masked man suddenly changed his tricks, jumped into the air, pointed his left foot on his arm, kicked his right foot on his shoulder, and then rushed to the roof, it turned out that he was actually a feint, and going to the roof was his real purpose.
Seeing this, Feiying was about to take out a crossbow, but Lu Yun suddenly held down Feiying's hand and said urgently: "No!" ”
Feiying suddenly woke up, the other party is a master, at the moment on the roof, may not be able to shoot to death, in case it can't be killed, then the repeater will be exposed, Li Hao once explained to them, if you are not sure to kill the other party, or if there are outsiders present, you must not use the repeater easily.
After the black-clothed masked man jumped on the roof, he glanced back at them and sneered: "I never expected that the minions of the Marquis of Lantian County are so sharp and have been taught, I have to remind you that the woman in the house cannot die, if she has any accidents, there will be one more letter on Li Shimin's desk the next day, as for the content of the letter, hehe, I won't say more." ”
Lu Yun was shocked when he heard this, this person's martial arts are extraordinary, he has been lurking in the Hou Mansion for an unknown amount of time, he has not found it, it seems that the origin is not small, just now he thought it was sent by the palace, but judging from the name he called Li Shimin, it was definitely not, he really couldn't imagine that such a force would send such a master to protect Wu Meiniang, a woman with no foundation.
Lu Yun was puzzled in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency, and who sent you?" ”
"You're not qualified to know that yet." The black-clothed masked man said coldly, "Your martial arts are good, next time you bring a blade that you can use, let's fight again, and there will be a period later." With that, he suddenly moved, and rushed to the roof beside him, and in a few moments, he disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Looking at the back of the man in black, Feiying stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Lu, what should I do now?" ”
Lu Yun frowned and groaned for a long time, and said: "The situation has changed, stop for the time being, this matter needs to be told to the young master quickly, I will repair the book, and you will send someone to the young master immediately." ”
