Chapter 572 Assassination
There are a lot of people here, and there are many people coming in and out of the city gate, and it is not a place to talk. Tu Huaiyu led the people out of the city first.
When they reached a spacious place outside the city, Tu Huaiyu reined in his horse and waited for Chao Shenghuai to approach.
"Myriad Beast Sect disciple Chao Shenghuai, thank Master Tu for your rescue." Chao Shenghuai, who drove his horse forward, cupped his hands and thanked.
Tu Huaiyu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Since I'm from the Song Dynasty, it's only natural for me, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, to come forward. You're welcome. Your surname is Chao. Do you know Chao Jing, the elder of the Wanshoumen?"
Chao Shenghuai: "Elder Chao is just my grandfather."
"Oh!" Tu Huaiyu looked suddenly enlightened, nodded and said, "I think I met grandfather Ling a few times in Songjing back then. Grandpa Ling's demeanor is still fresh in my memory. I didn't expect to meet Brother Chao here. grandson."
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's gate to go out for a trip. Now that I have traveled so far, who would want to meet an evil slave who deliberately bumped into someone, and instead framed me for bumping into someone? It is clear that I was in collusion with the guards of the city gate and deliberately blackmailed by a nest of snakes and rats. Money is really irritating! Let them be happy for now, and then settle accounts with them later, and let them spit out their capital and profits. How dare a group of blind dogs bully me! Master Tu shouldn’t have given me money. I want to see what they dare to do to me!"
Tu Huaiyu chuckled, waved his hands and said, "I can understand the mood. There is no need to get angry about a small matter. It's over when it's over. It's demeaning to care about such a small person. Big changes are imminent. There will be no eggs under the overturned nest. These people are crying Right now, someone will take care of it, so you don’t need to do anything.”
Chao Shenghuai's eyes flickered, "I heard that Zhao Guo was going to attack Jinzhou on the way. I heard what Mr. Tu said. Could it be true?"
"It's possible." Tu Huaiyu didn't say anything dead, as an envoy of the Song Dynasty, he didn't want to discuss state affairs with outsiders casually, so he changed the subject and said, "Where do you want to go now?"
Chao Shenghuai: "Traveling around, coming to Zhao country, it is inevitable to go to the capital of Zhao country, and I am going to Zhao Jing, I don't know where Master Tu wants to go?"
Tu Huaiyu laughed and said, "I'm going back to the Zhao embassy, if you don't mind, why not go with me, so that we can take care of each other."
If ordinary Wanshoumen disciples would not invite such an invitation, Chao Jing's grandson is naturally different, and he can take the opportunity to get closer to Chao Jing.
Now that Chao Shenghuai's identity and background have been determined, there is no need to worry about anything.
Little did he know that it was in Chao Sheng's arms, so he would not have to open his mouth. "It's better to be respectful than to follow orders. Listen to Master Tu's arrangement."
"Okay!" Tu Huaiyu waved his hand with a smile, and the people continued to move forward.
Along the way, the host and guest chatted happily.
At noon, when the group passed through a forest area, a sudden change occurred.
"Who?" The guards around Tu Huaiyu were the first to discover the anomaly.
It's useless to find out, the people who caused the abnormality didn't intend to avoid it at all, but swarmed out.
In an instant, more than a dozen masked men in black rushed out. The fierce offensive and powerful strength caused chaos here, and there were constant rumbles.
Regardless of the others, the assassin went straight to Tu Huaiyu who was protected by everyone.
This side tried their best to block it, some blocked it, and the other protected Tu Huaiyu and quickly flew back.
Tu Huaiyu's old face turned pale with fright.
However, at this moment, dozens of masked men suddenly came out from the retreating place, and they went straight to Tu Huaiyu, whose strength was so strong that it was unstoppable for this side.
Jiaqian was attracted by a group of people to intercept him, and this side was attacked by a stronger force, and it was suddenly difficult to support.
Chao Shenghuai, who was in the crowd of fierce battles, was terrified and surprised by Niu Youdao's strength, he did not expect that Niu Youdao had so many masters in his hands.
"Ah!" During the hasty battle, Tu Huaiyu let out a scream, and was split in two obliquely by a sword qi.
He stared wide-eyed, and before he died, he regretted not summoning the bird mount to Zhao Jing.
Little did he know that it was useless to summon the bird mounts, the number he could summon was limited, and the guards could not keep up with them. This was not the case for the assassins, who would only be in danger faster.
It should be known that what someone used was not an ordinary assassination force, but a manpower arranged for a group of strength.
"Let's go!" As soon as the assassin succeeded, someone yelled, and a group of assassins quickly gathered and retreated, taking away the corpse on their side under cover.
"Chasing!" The guard here roared.
A group of people immediately pursued and killed them. Just as they chased into the forest, the escaped assassin waved and threw a dense black shadow, which exploded in the air.
A puff of smoke filled the forest and the air, I don't know if it is poisonous, the side quickly stopped or retreated in shock, not daring to approach.
That group of assassins obviously had great assassination experience. After this skill, when they bypassed the smoke here, they would not be able to see the shadows of the assassins. They had already hidden somewhere in the deep mountains.
If you can't catch up, you can only come back.
Lu Chenghai, the leader of the retinue mages, slowly squatted in front of Tu Huaiyu's unsatisfied corpse, grinning his teeth and even numb his scalp. How could this make him deal with the court of Song Dynasty?
A group of guards and members of the mission were a little confused, a little confused, how could they be attacked and killed with such a force? With their guarding power, they were beaten so weakly that they couldn't resist!
Chao Shenghuai, who squeezed into the crowd, raised a mask in front of the squatting Lu Chenghai, "I just knocked this off the assassin's face. I've seen the assassin who showed his face before."
He was desperate just now, and he had never fought so bravely in his life.
Of course, he also has the confidence, he knows that the assassin will not kill him.
Everyone looked at him quickly, and Lu Chenghai also stood up abruptly, with a grim expression on his face, he said, "Who is it?"
Chao Shenghuai said: "If I remember correctly, his name should be Xu Gao."
"Xu Gao?" Lu Chenghai's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Chao, are you sure it's Xu Gao?"
Everyone looked at each other, Xu Gao? One of the followers of the Yan State Mission was named Xu Gao.
The envoys of various countries have been competing with each other for a long time, how can they not know every member of the other party's mission.
Chao Shenghuai said: "I have seen this person before in Mixc City. On the way, I saw him flirting with a woman. I stopped him, so I have an impression."
It's pure nonsense, but he really met Xu Gao, but only last night, he was in Niu Youdao's hands, and Niu Youdao didn't pry Xu Gao's mouth open much, just made some random words , as long as he can play a role for Chao Shenghuai.
"Gao Shaoming, you bastard!" Someone scolded on the spot.
The group of people all remembered one thing. During the night banquet in Liufang Hall, Master Tu and Gao Shaoming had a conflict. At that time, Master Tu taunted the other party about the death of Song Long, the envoy of Yan, and signaled the other party to be careful to follow in Song Long's footsteps. Thinking of Gao Shaoming holding grudges like this.
Thinking about it, how could such a powerful assassination power be used by ordinary people? If there is a country backing it, that would be a different matter.
Lu Chenghai stared at Chao Shenghuai, and said word by word: "Brother Chao, you have to know that the person who was assassinated was our envoy from the Song Kingdom.
Chao Shenghuai raised the sword in his hand, and there was blood on the edge of the sword, "I cut him with a sword on his arm. As long as we find him, the sword wound on his arm will be the evidence."
Lu Chenghai said again: "Brother Chao, do you know who Xu Gao is? Would you like to testify?"
Chao Shenghuai glanced at Tu Huaiyu's corpse on the ground, "Master Tu helped me out of the siege before, didn't I even dare to testify? Besides, is it possible that Xu Gao is still some kind of big shot, and I'm afraid that he won't make it?"
"Okay! With Brother Chao's words, I'm relieved!" Lu Chenghai nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "There is a person named Xu Gao in the Yan Kingdom Mission, and Brother Chao needs to testify in person!"
"A member of the Yan State Mission?" Chao Shenghuai was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to realize that this matter was a big problem, so he immediately changed his words vaguely: "Brother Lu, I may have misremembered the person."
This remark immediately aroused everyone's contempt.
Lu Chenghai became angry, "Brother Chao, why did you go back on your word?"
"..." Chao Shenghuai was dumb, and sighed: "It's not that I'm afraid of things, but that this matter involves state affairs, and I, Wanshoumen, should not get involved. If things get big, I can't take responsibility. Everyone, just treat me as nothing. Didn't say it."
Lu Chenghai: "Do you think I'm deaf? Brother Chao has already said what he said, so he must report it. This matter cannot be ambiguous. If Brother Chao testifies, it's fine. If he doesn't testify, I want to retreat now." It's too late, and we won't allow Brother Chao to retreat, otherwise we won't be able to bear the responsibility, and we have no choice but to hand over Brother Chao to the imperial court for a strict trial, and let Wanshoumen find someone important to the imperial court. How to choose, Brother Chao himself Decide!"
Chao Sheng wanted to turn around, but there was movement around him, all of them were staring at him, and they had already surrounded him.
"Communicate the imperial court immediately!" Lu Chenghai shouted.
At the moment when a golden wing was released, there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes coming from the road. Everyone looked around and saw people from the court of Zhao Kingdom galloping towards them. Many of them were dressed in eunuch clothes. Mori.
The two naturally met and got together, and when they learned that Tu Huaiyu was assassinated, Zhao Senzong, who had always been a cold-faced person, was shocked, jumped off his horse and came quickly.
"Based on your bodyguard strength, who can easily assassinate Mr. Tu? Who did it?" Zhao Sen stood up and asked after looking in front of the corpse.
He couldn't figure it out. Under normal circumstances, no one would rashly kill a country's envoy, because it would be of little use, and if they were killed, they could be dispatched elsewhere, which would cause a lot of trouble. Once exposed, it would easily provoke a country's power to retaliate.
Lu Chenghai gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Guo Mission did it!"
Zhao Sen's face darkened, "Do you know what you are talking about? Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"
Lu Chenghai sneered, "The two sides fought against each other. I saw the people from the Yan Kingdom Mission here with my own eyes. Can there be any mistakes?"
"..." Zhao Sen was speechless, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Jinzhou.
He was full of anger in his stomach, and secretly scolded Gao Shaoming if he was crazy. What a critical point, he dared to provoke Song Guo, and he didn't know when to pick and choose. No wonder Yan Guo's national power was gradually weakening. In order to pull his son, the high position really dares to send anyone as an envoy!
He also thought that Gao Shaoming wanted to report the shame of the night banquet.
"Go!" Lu Chenghai waved his hand.
The party took the corpses of Tu Huaiyu and others, turned around, and was about to head back to Jinzhou.
Something flashed in Zhao Sen's mind like lightning, and he waved his hand to stop it immediately, and shouted: "Don't mess around, this matter is strange, don't fall into other people's tricks!"
"Zhao Fuling, I also feel strange, but can I sit and watch? Someone will investigate whether it is a conspiracy, and if I don't do anything about the matter in front of me, I can't explain it to the court! Let's go!" Lu Chenghai raised his arms, and a group of people came again The original road Rumble galloped back.
