Chapter 522 Caution(2/3)
"There is an urgent military situation. This is the order sign. King Yong once said that if there is an urgent military situation, he should be awakened."
"Come in with me."
The door creaked open, and the security was looser than everyone expected.
Of the two guards, only one was left standing at the door, and he yawned boredly. Soon, he heard a woman's cry for help from the other side of the street, and he hurried over...
"Help, ah, help!"
The one who was shouting at the top of his lungs was a companion of Wang Wujun who was good at ventriloquism, using this method to attract the guards away.
Wang Wujun looked at the gate and was a little surprised at the weak defense. It seemed that even Xue Bai had relaxed during the Shangyuan Festival. Without saying a word, he led his men and went in with a knife.
"Search separately and provide support at any time."
The house was indeed not big, so he rushed in and saw no one along the way. It must be the Lantern Festival, or he had a rest, or went to see the lanterns. This situation made him worry that Xue Bai would not be there tonight.
Suddenly, he heard shouts from ahead.
"Xue Bai is there!"
Wang Wujun heard the noise and strode over there. He passed through a small door and saw six people wearing Tang army military robes, pulling out soft knives from their waists and slashing at him, but he didn't know who he was shouting.
Found where Xue Bai's brother is.
As soon as the two sides met, they started fighting without saying a word.
Although there were only two people on Wang Wujun's side, they were chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly killed the six people until only three were left.
"Xue Bai is inside, kill him first."
The other party suddenly said something like this, and Wang Wujun struck down with his sword. He was so surprised that he couldn't even close the sword in time, so he killed the other party with a "poof".
Of the remaining two people, one rushed into the house, while the other turned around and ran away.
"You chase that one!"
Wang Wujun chased him into the house and saw the man rushing to the couch and slashing at him. He pressed the knife and asked: "Brother, who are you from? Dayan..."
"ah!"
The other party hacked Xue Bai to death in his sleep, ignored him, and turned around to kill him.
"puff."
Wang Wujun chopped him down with a knife and spat. He already felt that something was not right tonight. He felt like he had fallen into a trap, or he had fallen into a trap by mistake.
?????55.?????
He walked to the couch and picked up the torn quilt with the tip of the knife.
There was no Xue Bai under the quilt, only a scarecrow.
"Eating dog intestines."
suddenly.
"There's an assassin!"
Following this shout, the house suddenly became lively.
Knowing that he had fallen into the trap, Wang Wujun blew a whistle hard, ordered his men to withdraw, and immediately rushed out with his sword in hand.
He rushed out of the door and saw the unknown assassin who had escaped earlier rushing in front.
"Fire the arrow!"
A high-pitched voice sounded, and arrows shot out one after another, killing the assassin on the spot.
"Kill! Kill them all!"
The high-pitched voice was still shouting.
Wang Wujun took a look at the door and saw a white-faced eunuch with no beard in the firelight, leading archers to shoot his brothers everywhere.
"Dog castration."
Wang Wujun was furious, picked up the bow from his back, opened the bow and nocked an arrow.
He was the archer presented by Fan Yang. The arrow shot out with a "whoosh" and hit the eunuch's left eye in the dim light.
"ah!"
The screams were shocking. Wang Wujun wanted to shoot the eunuch again, but he saw that the eunuch was surrounded by people, shouting to the heavens and grabbing the earth.
He then shot three arrows in succession, knocking down three of the opponent's archers, then drew his sword and charged, and fled with the last two men.
Behind them, dense footsteps sounded, and groups of officers and soldiers had quickly arrived.
After finally rushing to a safe place, Wang Wujun waited for half an hour, but no one came to join him. It seemed that everything was lost.
"Gangpi, what's going on?"
"You fell into a trap." Wang Wujun scolded, "The castrated dog set a trap and deliberately led us to assassinate him."
"But didn't we just do it on the spur of the moment? How could they have expected it?"
"It's time we were active in the city, and they have noticed it a long time ago." Wang Wujun gritted his teeth, pulled out an arrow from his body, and cursed bitterly: "I will make his life worse than death!"
~~
"It hurts...it hurts!"
Bai Zhongzhen's legs were tightly twisted together, and he lost control due to the severe pain.
When the doctor took the arrow out of his eye socket, he finally fainted from the pain.
After a long time, when he woke up again, he felt as if he had died all over again, the pain was still there, and his eyes were blood red.
"Medium envoy."
Hearing this voice, Bai Zhongzhen murmured feebly: "It's you, is Xue Bai... dead?"
"Trouble, King Yong is not in the house. There is a dummy lying in the house."
"What? Then I'm going to die?!"
"Don't worry, envoy. There are no survivors. King Yong didn't know that it was the envoy who sent people to kill him. In addition, King Yong's personal guards have checked. Most of the murderers are Khitan people, and they must be rebel assassins."
Bai Zhongzhen felt relieved now and whispered: "They bumped into each other? There are so many people who want him to die."
He couldn't help but wonder, why did he collide with the assassin sent by the rebels?
Then, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The reason why he took action tonight was because he knew that the defenses in Xue Bai's mansion were lax. Now it seems that it was clearly a plan.
"He knew I was going to kill him, what should I do? I'm dead!" Bai Zhongzhen couldn't help but feel so sad and angry that he touched his wound and fainted from the pain.
~~
Theater.
A play is at its most lively.
Wang Wei finally noticed the man and woman sitting downstairs and said, "That's Du Wulang? Is he the man and woman you just mentioned? But he came with his wife."
"I'm not talking about him." Princess Yuzhen shook her head and sneered: "I'm not going to take this stupid boy seriously."
"That is?" Wang Wei asked again.
Princess Yuzhen did not answer, saying: "Watch a show."
"If you act like this, I can guess who it is." Wang Wei said, "Prince Yong?"
Recently, he was hesitating whether to go see Xue Bai to talk about his capture, and thought that he should wait until the New Year passed. Anyway, he learned that Xue Bai was also there, so he couldn't help but look everywhere.
After a while, Xue Bai was not found, Wang Wei said: "Is he with your apprentice?"
"Um."
Princess Yuzhen responded calmly and looked at the stage, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Let's watch the show."
~~
"We have been cultivating for hundreds of years to cross the same boat, and we have been practicing for thousands of generations to sleep together -"
In Luoshui, on a small awning boat, a very beautiful song sounded, and soon it became low again.
Because there is another fishing boat coming this way.
On the fishing boat, Diao Bing stretched his neck and said, "I dare not disturb Mr. Lang, but the fish has been caught."
Xue Bai stood up from the small awning boat, holding a small lantern in his hand, and asked: "Have all the personal and material evidence been left behind?"
For him, Bai Zhongzhen was not important. What was important was to get the evidence that Li Cong wanted to assassinate him and keep it for future use.
Ever since he captured Deng Jingshan in Bianzhou, Bai Zhongzhen had been terrified day and night, fearing that he would be poisoned by Xue Bai. He could not sleep or eat well day and night. Even in front of others, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, which was very uncomfortable to watch. So Xue Bai simply
Just give him a push.
He threatened to get rid of Bai Zhongzhen, but deliberately neglected to take precautions, forcing Bai Zhongzhen to assassinate him.
This is just a small thing.
