Chapter 30: Assassination (Part II)

Zhao Kuo's brows were deeply locked, his eyes fell on the entrance of the second floor, his right hand was on the hilt of the sword and ready to shoot at any time, his feet were lightened and approached step by step, his left foot was forward, the distance was getting closer and closer, his right foot was raised by the trend, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the body fell down instantly, not wanting to be moved on the bamboo ladder, or accidentally touching the mechanism, Zhao Kuo's wrist shook and the claw was hit, and the body swayed up, and a man's angry shout came from inside, "Who!" ”

Zhao Kuo's body jumped up and rushed in quickly, Hu Zuo was holding a sharp sword, he was studying the laws of Yan State just now, Fan Yu was not guilty of bringing soldiers privately, Fan Yu was just an excuse, the purpose was to bring down Gongsun Cao to control Yan Guo, and suddenly rattled, Hu Zuo had an explanation, no one was allowed to go upstairs after nightfall, so he secretly activated the mechanism, once someone stepped on it, he immediately fell from the bamboo ladder, Zhao Kuo's energy was completely focused on his mouth and did not pay attention to his feet, if it was not for the flying claws on his body, this fall would definitely not be light.

"It's you!"

With a long beard, dressed in black, holding a sharp sword, Hu Zuo looked at the person in front of him through the light, he should have been a swordsman sent out by himself, why did he touch himself for no reason.

"I've seen my lord!" Zhao Kuo hurriedly lowered his head, the afterglow fell on Hu Zuo's hand, a long sword was held in his hand, the opportunity had been lost, fortunately, there was such an identity to use, if he shot now, he might not be able to succeed in one blow, and it would not be easy to alarm the guards in the mansion to leave safely.

"How did you get back!"

"The subordinates were found out by Gongsun Cao when they were not doing well, but fortunately they did not live up to their mission and killed them, and I came to report to the adults!"

"Your voice?"

Zhao Kuo had heard the sound of the dead fake black beard, so he deliberately imitated it, at most it was only sixty percent similar, and Hu Zuo still heard the difference.

"I was in a hurry for days, sleeping in the open air, and I was slightly unwell." Zhao Kuo coughed twice after speaking.

"Really kill and injure Gongsun Cao?"

"The matter is urgent, I have to do it, Gongsun Cao is not prepared to be seriously injured by his subordinates, I am afraid it will be difficult to treat!"

Hu Zuo snorted coldly, "Zhang Biao!" ”

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, the person who shouted was not successful, and he didn't ask the name and surname of the dead killer, "My lord!" ”

Hu Zuo nodded, "Well done, the benefits promised to you at the beginning will definitely not be less than yours!" Hu Zuo showed a smile on his face, the long sword in his hand was placed on the table, Zhao Kuo's heart finally put down, it turned out that his new identity was called Zhang Biao, and he was fat! The name is average.

"Thank you, my lord, Zhang Biao is already grateful for being an adult, and I don't dare to ask for anything more."

Hu Zuo smiled: "As long as you remove the beard, you can be yourself again, the one who killed and injured Gongsun was only the black beard of the Bing Alliance, and it has nothing to do with us, come and sit, you must be interested in seeing such a thing!" ”

Hu Zuo retreated to his desk, there was a stack of bamboo slips on it, and a copy was spread out on the table, Zhao Kuo stepped forward, and the bamboo ladder almost touched the other party's road, not daring to be careless, leaving a little room for each step, and hiding his strength when he landed, once something happened, he could immediately dodge.

"What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a while, and when I see this official, I have become an outsider!"

"If you want to deal with Gongsun Cao, you can only be more careful, this is all taught by adults!"

"Haha, okay, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, worthy of being the most proud person of this official, sit!" After speaking, he pointed to the chair opposite with his hand, and there was a table between the two, such a distance, if he jumped directly out of the sword to kill, the probability of success with his own swordsmanship should be more than fifty percent, the sword was placed on the table at will, Hu Zuo must have believed in his identity, it was better to simply know more, came to the front, and sat down slowly, Zhao Kuo suddenly realized that the hand of the nonsense, which seemed to be placed on the table at random, was indeed used to cover a depression, and the originally flat table only had a depression inward, which must be the key to the engine off, didn't have time to think about it, the whole person flew up and jumped up, just when Hu Zuo's fingers were pressed, the sword in his hand was instantly attacked, Hu Zuo's figure retreated, the chair overturned to the side, and the two figures fell to the ground, Hu Zuo covered his chest, and the sword was still stabbed.

Hu Zuo coughed, "Who are you?" ”

"You don't need to know that."

Hu Zuo shook his head, "I don't want to make a bad move!" With a little regret in his expression, Zhao Kuo turned sideways with a sword in his hand, only to see a few sharp knives sticking out of the back of the chair just now, if he sat on it, once the mechanism was activated, such a distance would inevitably be impossible to dodge, and he would definitely die, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, it was really thrilling just now.

"How did you find out I wasn't yours?"

Hu Zuo's figure sat down slowly along the wall, the sword almost killed Hu Zuo, even if he called for help, it was useless, it was better to figure out some things before he died, since this person could easily enter his backyard, ask who could stop him.

Hu Zuo sneered, "It's very simple, the person sent out by Hu Zuo is not called Zhang Biao at all, just now he just made up a random name to test you, since I know that someone who is not my own must be the one who came to kill me, so I will lead you to the agency, I don't want to make a bad move." ”

Hu Zuo told the truth, Zhao Kuo nodded again and again, I don't want Hu Zuo to have already seen his flaws, a person who can give Gongsun Cao a headache must be extremely smart, if he doesn't discover the mystery implied in time, the person waiting for the verdict at this time must be himself.

Hu Zuo shook his head, "Are you Gongsun Cao's person?" ”

"You can say yes, you can say no."

"What's in it for you! From your eyes, you can already see that it must not be Gongsun Cao's cronies, no matter what the reason, remember to be careful of Gongsun Cao, this person is loyal on the surface, but what he does behind his back is all bad things. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Hu Zuo coughed, "Let's go, your goal has been achieved, and there is no point in staying any longer!" There are no great traitors here, and if you can trust a person who is about to die, please be merciful under the sword. After speaking, there was a wry smile on his face, his chest was completely wet with blood, although Hu Zuo was on guard, he could not dodge Zhao Kuo's sword moves, his face became more and more pale, and his life also slowly faded away.

Zhao Kuo's figure retreated, the long sword was withdrawn from his waist, Hu Zuo's eyes slowly closed, a pool of blood flowed out from under his body, and he jumped downstairs with the light, opened the door latch and flashed out, a wild cat's cry came out, and he quickly responded, Bai Ying stood on the tree and observed the situation in the backyard, the patrolling guards had left, and a figure approached quickly.

"Childe!"

"Inform Mu Chen, the matter is done, get out of the city immediately!"

Bai Ying agreed, her body swung on the tree and landed directly on the courtyard wall, a figure disappeared quickly, Zhao Kuo gathered his mind and came to the joint location, the person appeared from the shadows, Zhao Kuo nodded, not much to say, the two figures rushed to the door of the mansion, and heard the woman's scream from the backyard from a distance, and must have been aware of it, "Hurry up!" ”

When the man heard the scream, he hurriedly whispered and urged, once he was discovered, he would inevitably be implicated! Just take advantage of the chaos to get out.

The feet of the two of them accelerated, the door of the house got closer and closer, and when they came closer, they opened it easily, Zhao Kuo jumped out, the door was quickly closed, a noisy footstep came, and the figure at the door disappeared quickly.

"Childe!"

Mu Chen followed Bai Ying to the front with a broadsword on his back, "Yiqiēshun lì, go to Xiangguo Mansion and prepare to leave the city!" ”

The two agreed, there was no one on the road, and they came to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion along the dark place, and a person was anxiously waiting at the small door, three figures appeared, which could not be distinguished in the dark, and the figure was extremely fast, but a few moments had already arrived in front of him, and the long beard and the big man with a broadsword on his back must be the people who entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gongsun Cao laughed, "He is worthy of being the black-bearded leader!" ”

Zhao Kuo sneered, "Killing people is as easy as finding out for the Bing League!" After speaking, he pulled out the long sword, there were still blood stains on it, the sword light flashed, the candle flame was cut off by the sword blade and still not extinguished, for the black bearded swordsmanship Gongsun Cao had already understood, and the sword killed the swordsman sent by Hu Zuo that day, clean and neat, so he moved the idea of taking the opportunity to get rid of Hu Zuo, and he didn't want to really do it, and he was happy in his heart.

"Lord Xiangguo, now that Hu Zuo is dead, I don't know when I can leave the city and enter the Qi Kingdom?"

Gongsun stroked his beard, "You can go out of the city with General Fan as soon as it is dawn, and when you arrive at the border of Qi Yan, someone will naturally take you to sneak into the Qi country!" ”

"In that case, isn't the border strength of the Qi State like a fictitious one!"

Gongsun Cao waved his hand, "No, it's just a dangerous road there, a few people can pass through, and it's completely unsuitable for the army!" ”

"How's the cart of the Bing Alliance?"

"It should be possible, but there are often thieves along the way, but it shouldn't be anything to you!"

"Dare to fight the military alliance, there is only one way to die."

"Domineering enough, happy, Gongsun Cao likes to make friends with such domineering people the most!"

"In the future, the military alliance will rely more on Xiangguo."

When the sky was bright, Fan Yu entered from outside the door, and saw that Zhao Kuo's pretended black beard was also clear that it would succeed, and the spies sent had already received the news that Hu Zuo had been assassinated, and the whereabouts of the assassin were unknown, no one knew the identity of the assassin, and no trace was left, Fan Yu nodded, Gongsun Cao was completely relieved, Mu Chen and the others changed into the clothes of Yan soldiers and mixed in the cavalry camp.

In the palace, it is not for the urgency of the turn, King Yanhui sang last night, today will inevitably sleep until sunrise, thinking of the nonsense last night, I can't help but feel anxious, such a good opportunity is not to be missed, a figure is approaching quickly, the speed of the feet is too fast, the body is unstable and falls directly to the ground.

Fei Wei looked at the person with a stunned face, "What's going on so panicking?" ”

"Master Hu was assassinated!"

"What!" It is undeniable that the two of them can gain a foothold in Yan Kingdom, and finally get the trust of King Yan has a lot to do with Hu Zuo, not to know how to flatter and cater to King Yan's thoughts, but many things have to be made up of ideas, after all, this alone cannot hold real power.

"My lord, what now?"

"When did it happen?"

"Just last night!"

"Has the murderer been caught?"

The man shook his head, "Lord Hu was already dead on the second floor of the backyard when he was found, and no one saw the murderer!" ”

"No way, it's absolutely impossible!" Unless he shook his head again and again, the mechanism under Hu Zuo was equally clear, and he was killed at night, which means that someone avoided all the organs and quietly killed Hu Zuo and then left, which is absolutely impossible to do.

"Prepare to leave Yan Kingdom." As soon as Hu Zuo died, it was not to know that the next one would inevitably be his turn, Gongsun Cao had already made a killing move, and the opportunity had been lost, even if he stayed here, he couldn't do anything, the best way was to leave, maybe he could save his life.

"My lord, do you really want to leave?"

"Let's go, if you don't go, it's too late."

The man nodded, "My subordinates will arrange it." ”

Instead of turning around, his eyes fell on the palace in front of him and stomped his feet, no wonder others, even if he notified King Yan Hui in advance, he must not let Yan Guo be proud, he made up his mind to take out a handkerchief and bite his finger to write a blood book, showing Gongsun Cao's crimes, killing the heroes Hu Zuo, not for fear of death had to flee, only hated to be able to remove the traitor for the king, the words were earnest, handed over to the front of the door and left quickly, after King Yan Hui saw the blood book, he must be furious and blame all the crimes on Gongsun Cao, Gongsun Cao died, it was also regarded as revenge for Hu Zuo.
