Chapter 574: Assassination
There are a lot of people here, there are many people coming in and out of the city gate, and it is not a place to talk, Tu Huaiyu led people out of the city first.
When he arrived at a spacious place outside the city, Tu Huaiyu Fang Lerma waited for Chao Shenghuai to approach.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciple Chao Shenghuai, Lord Xie Xu has lifted the siege. Chao Shenghuai, who drove forward, thanked him.
Tu Huaiyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since I am from the Song Kingdom, it is natural for me, the Song envoy, to come forward, so you don't have to be polite." Respect the surname Chao, I don't know if I know the Chao Elder Chao Jing of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate?"
Chao Shenghuai: "Elder Chao is my grandfather. ”
"Oh!" Tu Huaiyu suddenly realized, and said: "I think I met Grandfather Ling a few times in Song Jing back then, and the old man still remembers Grandfather's demeanor, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Chao's grandson here." ”
After talking about friendship first, he asked again: "By the way, why are you here?"
Chao Shenghuai: "Not long ago, I got the permission of the master to go out to travel, and this time I have traveled so far, who wants to meet a wicked slave who deliberately collides, but frames me for hitting people, it is obviously a collusion with the defenders of this city gate, a nest of snakes and rats deliberately extorting money, it is really annoying! Let them be happy for the time being, and then go back to settle accounts with them, and let them spit out their profits, a group of dogs with eyes and beads, dare to bully me! Lord Xu should not give them money, I want to see what they dare to do to me!"
Tu Huaiyu smiled, waved his hand and said: "I can understand the mood, a little thing, don't be angry, it's over, it's over, and it's a loss of identity to deal with this kind of little person." The big change is coming, there are no eggs under the nest, these people are crying in front of them, and someone will clean it up, and you don't need to do it. ”
Chao Shenghuai's eyes flashed, "I heard on the way that Zhao Guo was going to attack Jinzhou, and I heard the meaning of Lord Xu's words, could it be true?"
"Possibly. Tu Huaiyu didn't say anything, as an envoy of the Song State, he didn't want to talk about state affairs casually with outsiders, so he changed the topic and said: "Where do you want to go now?"
Chao Shenghuai: "Traveling around, coming to Zhao State, it is inevitable to go to the capital of Zhao State, and I am about to go to Zhao Jing, I don't know where Lord Xu wants to go?"
Tu Huaiyu laughed and said: "I am about to go back to the embassy of Zhao State, if I don't dislike it, I might as well go along and take care of each other." ”
If ordinary disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would not be invited like this, Chao Jing's grandson would naturally be different, and he could take the opportunity to get closer to Chao Jing.
Now that Chao Shenghuai's identity and background have been determined, there is nothing to worry about.
As everyone knows, Chao Sheng is in his arms, so he doesn't have to open his mouth. "It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, and listen to Lord Xu's arrangement. ”
"Okay!" Tu Huaiyu smiled and waved his hand, and the centaur continued to move forward.
Along the way, the guests and hosts talked happily.
At noon, when the group passed through a mountain forest area, a sudden change occurred.
"Who is it?" It was the guards around Tu Huaiyu who were the first to discover the abnormality.
It was useless to find out, and the people who set off the anomaly did not intend to avoid it at all, but swarmed out.
In an instant, more than ten masked black-clothed men came out, the attack was fierce, and the strength was so strong that there was chaos here, and the rumbling sound continued.
The assassin didn't care about the others, and went straight to Tu Huaiyu, who was protected by everyone.
This side desperately blocked, one person intercepted, and one person protected Tu Huaiyu and quickly flew back and retreated.
Tu Huaiyu's old face changed color in fright.
However, at this moment, dozens of masked people suddenly killed from the retreat place, directly taking Tu Huaiyu, and the strength was so strong that it was unstoppable here.
In addition, it was intercepted by a group of people in front, and it was attacked by a stronger raid here, and it was suddenly difficult to support.
Chao Shenghuai, who was mixed in the fierce battle crowd, was shocked by Niu Youdao's strength, but he didn't expect Niu Youdao to have so many masters in his hands.
"Ah!" In the hasty fierce battle, Tu Huaiyu screamed miserably, and was split in two by a sword qi.
His eyes widened, and before he lost his breath, he regretted that he had not summoned the bird mount to and from Zhao Jing.
As everyone knows, it is useless to summon the bird mount, the number he can summon is limited, and the guards can't keep up with much, but not on the assassin's side, they will only be in danger faster.
It must be known that some people are not using ordinary assassination forces, but manpower arranged for the strength of a line.
"Let's go!" As soon as the Assassins succeeded, someone immediately cheered, and a group of Assassins quickly gathered and retreated, taking their own corpses with them by the way.
"Chase!" the guards roared.
A group of people immediately chased and killed, and as soon as they chased into the mountain forest, the assassin who escaped in front waved his hand and threw out a dense black shadow, which exploded in the air.
A puff of smoke filled the forest and the air, and I don't know if there is poison or not, and the startled side quickly stopped or retreated, not daring to approach.
The group of assassins was obviously very experienced in assassination, and after this hand, when they bypassed the smoke here, how could they still see the figures of the assassins, and they had long since disappeared into the mountains.
I can't catch up, I can only come back.
Lu Chenghai, the leader of the Sui Hu mages, slowly squatted in front of Tu Huaiyu's dead corpse, couldn't help grinning his teeth, and even his scalp was numb, how did he make a deal to the Song court?
A group of guards and members of the mission were a little confused, a little puzzled, how could they be attacked and killed with such a strong force?
Chao Shenghuai, who squeezed into the crowd, raised a masked towel and put it in front of Lu Chenghai, who was squatting, "This is what I just knocked off the assassin's face, and I have seen the assassin with his face exposed." ”
He could be said to be desperate just now, and he had never fought so fiercely and fearlessly in his life.
Of course, he also had this confidence, and he knew that the assassins would not kill him.
Everyone quickly looked at him, and Lu Chenghai also stood up suddenly, and said with a hideous face: "Who is it?"
Chao Shenghuai said: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be named Xu Xu." ”
"Xu Xu?" Lu Chenghai's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Chao confirms that it is Xu Xu?"
Everyone looked at each other, and one of the monks in the Yan Kingdom mission was named Xu Xu.
The envoys of various countries have been fighting each other for a long time, and how can they not know every member of the other country's mission?
Chao Shenghuai said: "I have seen this person in Vientiane City before, and I saw him molesting a woman on the way, and I stepped forward to stop it, so I have an impression." ”
It's pure nonsense, but he really saw Xu Xu, but he saw it last night, in Niu Youdao's hands, Niu Youdao didn't pry Xu Xu's mouth very much, just casually said something, just give him Chao Shenghuai a role.
"Gao Shaoming, bastard!" someone scolded on the spot.
A group of people all remembered one thing, during the night banquet in Liufang Pavilion, Lord Xu and Gao Shaoming had a conflict, when Lord Xu mocked the other party with the death of Song Long, the last Yan envoy, and signaled the other party to follow in Song Long's footsteps carefully, but I didn't expect Gao Shaoming to hold such a grudge.
Think about it, how can such a powerful assassination force be used by ordinary people, if there is a country's power behind it, then it is another matter.
Lu Chenghai stared at Chao Shenghuai, and said word by word: "Brother Chao, you must know that it was our envoy of the Song State who was assassinated, the matter is not trivial, the words cannot be ambiguous, are you sure that it is Xu Xu?"
Chao Shenghuai raised the sword in his hand, there were blood stains on the blade, "I cut him on the arm, as long as you find him, the sword wound on the arm is evidence." ”
Lu Chenghai said again: "Brother Chao, do you know who Xu Xu is? Are you willing to come forward to testify?"
Chao Shenghuai glanced at Tu Huaiyu's corpse on the ground, "Lord Xu helped me out of the siege before, didn't I even dare to testify? Besides, could it be that Xu Xue or some big man can't do it, and I'm afraid that he won't succeed?"
"Okay! With Brother Chao's words, I'm relieved!" Lu Chenghai nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "There is a person named Xu Xu in the Yan State Mission, and Brother Chao needs to testify in person!"
"People from the Yan State Mission?" Chao Shenghuai was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to react, as if he felt that this matter was a big problem, and immediately changed his words vaguely: "Brother Lu, I may have remembered the wrong person." ”
This remark immediately aroused the contempt of everyone.
Lu Chenghai was furious, "Why did Brother Chao rebel?"
"......" Chao Shenghuai was dumbfounded, and sighed: "It's not that I'm personally afraid of things, but this matter involves state affairs, and I shouldn't intervene in the Ten Thousand Beasts, the matter is big, I can't take responsibility, you just don't say anything." ”
Lu Chenghai: "Are you deaf to me?" Brother Chao has already spoken, so he must report it, and this matter cannot be ambiguous. If Brother Chao comes forward to testify, if he doesn't come forward to testify, I'm afraid it's too late to retreat now, and we don't allow Brother Chao to retreat, otherwise we can't afford to take responsibility, and we have to hand over Brother Chao to the court for strict interrogation, and let the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate find someone from the court. How to choose, Brother Chao decides for himself!"
Chao Sheng wanted to turn around, and the people around him moved, and they were all eyeing him, and they had surrounded him.
"Summons the imperial court immediately!" Lu Chenghai shouted.
At the moment when a golden wing was released, there was a rumbling horse's hooves on the way, and everyone looked at it, only to see the people and horses of the Zhao court galloping over, many of them wearing eunuch clothes, and the person in the center was Zhao Sen wearing a cloak.
The two sides naturally met together, and when they learned that Tu Huaiyu had been assassinated, Zhao Senzong, a person who had always had an indifferent face, was also shocked and jumped off his horse and came quickly.
"With your escort strength, who can easily assassinate Lord Xu, and who did it?" After looking at the corpse, Zhao Sen stood up and asked.
He couldn't figure it out, under normal circumstances, no one would take the liberty of killing an envoy of a country, because it didn't have much effect, and if he killed him, he could send another party, and it would cause a lot of trouble, and once it was exposed, it would be easy to provoke the revenge of a country's strength.
Lu Chenghai gritted his teeth and said, "The Yan State Mission did it!"
Zhao Sen's face sank, "Do you know what you're talking about?
Lu Chenghai sneered, "The two sides are fighting, I have seen the people of the Yan Kingdom Mission here with my own eyes, can there be anything wrong?"
"......" Zhao Sen was speechless, and suddenly looked back in the direction of Jinzhou.
He held back a stomach full of anger in his stomach, and secretly scolded Gao Shaoming for whether he was crazy, what kind of thing is this, he actually dared to provoke Song Guo, and he didn't know when to provoke if he wanted to hate it, no wonder Yan Guo's national strength was gradually declining, Lao Tzu was in a high position in order to pull his son, and anyone dared to send an envoy!
He also thought that Gao Shaoming wanted to avenge the humiliation of the night banquet.
"Let's go!" Lu Chenghai waved his hand and drank.
The group took the bodies of Tu Huaiyu and the others, turned around, and was about to return to Jinzhou.
Something flashed in Zhao Sen's mind like lightning, and he immediately waved his hand to stop it, and shouted: "Don't mess around, this matter is strange, don't fall for other people's tricks!"
"Zhao Fuling, I also feel strange, but can I sit idly by? Is it a treacherous conspiracy that someone has to investigate, and if I don't act on the matter in front of me, I can't explain it to the imperial court!
PS: I just found out that Cangshui has become the first alliance, and there are more alliance leaders, and I can't pronounce the English letters, thank you for your support!
