Chapter 184: Walking on Thin Ice (14)
The man knew he was fooled when he looked to the right. Almost as Zhao Xin shouted, his body suddenly leaned back, and the short knife in his hand came out, and shot quickly at Zhao Xin who was attacking behind him, as fast as lightning.
Zhao Xinzhi felt a chill in front of his eyes. He didn't have time to think, but he subconsciously turned his head and wiped his cheeks with a short knife. Fortunately, he only wiped a layer of oily skin, and the cold sweat from behind was soaked. Zhao Xin suddenly couldn't do anything wrong. He knew that this person was definitely not a mediocre person, so he didn't dare to be careless anymore, so he quickly concentrated his mind and flew forward to fight with him.[]
When Zhao Xin fell asleep, he walked out of the yard and was wearing a thin coat, so he didn't have a sword. He had no time to go back to the room to get weapons, so he had to rely on the sound of attacking the world to succeed. However, seeing that the thief had noticed it, he simply opened his voice and shouted.
First of all, anyone who does secret things is always afraid of being known to others. After Zhao Xin yells like this in the middle of the night, the servants will definitely be awakened. In addition, they can also warn their father so that he can escape.
Zhao Xin attached himself closely, crossed his hands and held the assassin's arm tightly, bent his knees to block his foot, trying to use the close-fitting grasping hand that Wang Xu had told him to take the assassin off. However, the assassin suddenly shrank all over, his hands became slippery and took it out of Zhao Xin's hand, his hands formed hooks, and attacked Zhao Xin's throat with his backhand, his movements were extremely fast and fierce.
Zhao Xin almost avoided the fatal blow and attacked him without retreating. The man dodged first, but he was full of "huh" in his mouth, and his tone seemed very surprised.
Zhao Xin had no time to think about it, just seized the initiative and attacked fiercely. The two of them fought quickly and had already accepted more than twenty moves in a blink of an eye, but they still couldn't tell the outcome. The man had a long sword around his waist, but Zhao Xin had bare hands, so he could only wrap his body tightly, so he didn't have the chance to draw the sword.
The sound of the two fighting alarmed the people of the Zhao family. Several servants came to check with torches. When they saw the young master fighting with a masked assassin, they started to scream. Soon the entire Zhao family became louder, and the servants surrounded the two with sticks.
Zhao He, who was awakened, also walked out in his clothes. While instructing his servants to go to the city guard office, he looked at his son with a hurry, fearing that he would make any mistakes. When he saw that Zhao Xin was fighting fiercely with the man, he was not at a disadvantage, he felt a little relieved.
Seeing that the assassin had been exposed, he did not want to stop and wanted to escape. However, Zhao Xin saw through his thoughts and became more and more close to him, not giving him a chance to escape.
"Who is your lord? Why do you have any grudges with me? Why are you assassinating me?" Zhao He hid behind the servants and shouted with all his might.
However, the assassin did not answer, but focused on retaliating with Zhao Xin. Suddenly, his feet staggered and his body leaned back. Zhao Xin would not miss this opportunity, his hands were like snakes entering the door. However, the assassin did not dodge, and then raised his backhand and waved towards Zhao He.
When Zhao Xin saw him raising his hand back, he immediately realized that he pushed his feet to the ground and twisted his body, blocked Zhao He's body, and shouted, "Be careful of hidden weapons."
At the same time, he concentrated his mind and wanted to avoid hidden weapons, but he could not see any foreign objects in front of him, so he realized that he was deceived.
At this time, the screams sounded, and the assassin had already escaped and jumped high. He stepped on the shoulders of the servant beside him and leaped onto the roof. At the same time, he was unsheathed and looked at the people under him coldly. Zhao Xinxin knew that it was difficult to catch up, so he simply stopped chasing him, but he just snatched a sword from his servant and blocked his father with his sword.
The assassin glanced at Zhao He, with a little unwilling look in his eyes, but he knew that things could not be done. His eyes were on Zhao Xin's face, and he saw him clearly with the fire, but he was stunned and blurted out, "It's you."
Zhao Xin immediately became alert. He seemed to know him and his tone seemed to know him, but his voice was hoarse. He obviously pretended not to be recognized by others. He was covered with his face and could not see his appearance. He was just vaguely judging by his figure.
Zhao Xin glared and asked, "Do you know me?"
The man laughed several times and said, "I don't know you, but you owed me half a life, but today you will be kind to revenge. Very good, very good. I've recorded this holiday, Zhao Xin, right? I will fight you with time in the future to see if you have time to see if your master is stronger or my master is stronger."
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Xin deeply, turned around and jumped up from the roof quickly, climbed over the wall of Zhao's mansion, and disappeared into the darkness like a swallow.
"No need to chase after you." Zhao Xin reached out to stop the servants who were about to chase after you, knowing that even if they caught up, it would be useless and would only give up their lives.
"Go and tell the Chengwei Mansion and ask them to send someone to search and capture the assassin." After all, such a big thing happened. The dignified inner-minister was assassinated at home. The Chengwei Mansion, which is responsible for patrolling the city of Handan, is definitely not to blame. It is reasonable to let them search the whole city.
"promise."
"Xin'er, you're injured." Zhao He began to see Zhao Xin blocking him, and didn't know if he was injured. He hurried forward and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine." Zhao Xin shook his head, turned around and said to the butler: "Brother Wang, take people to search all the big and small corners of the house to prevent the assassins from attacking the east and west."
"Yes." Wang Bo took the order to take people away.
Seeing everyone leaving, Zhao Xin turned around and looked at Zhao He and said, "Father, I think this matter is a bit strange."
"Indeed," Zhao He pondered; "I just agreed today, someone came to assassinate me at night. I asked myself that I am worthy of being a man in my life, and no one would be able to use such means to deal with me. Could it be that you suspect that you are the Lord Father..."
"Never." Zhao Xin shook his head confidently.
"I don't think it's possible, either." Zhao He thought about it and shook his head. "If the master wants to kill me, why bother to do anything? Besides, even if it comes to qualifications, I can't stand it above me..."
Speaking of this, Zhao He suddenly paused and looked at Zhao Xin suspiciously, "Is it Anyang Jun?"
I immediately hesitated, "But Mr. Anyang has not yet arrived in Handan..."
"Mr. Anyang has arrived in Handan this morning." Zhao Xin interrupted his father and said with a calm face.
Zhao He was stunned and thought to himself that it wouldn't be so coincidental. Anyang Jun had just come before he was assassinated today. After pondering for a long time, he looked at Zhao Xin and said, "So you suspect that it was Anyang Jun's doing it?"
Zhao Xin nodded with a little ugly expression. "Whether from the motivation or the benefits obtained after the matter is accomplished, Anyang Jun is the most suspicious. Although you are not as important as Gongzi Cheng and Uncle, you are also an extremely core figure of the royal party. It is crucial to hold the power of Zhao's money and food. Moreover, you are low-key by nature and the garrison in the mansion is as useless, far less than Gongzi Cheng and Uncle's home, so you are also the easiest to succeed."
