When a person is unprepared, he has no idea in his mind.There are no more trade-offs, no more right or wrong, and people suddenly return to their most instinctive state, and they don’t even know the reason for what they do.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head when he heard the voice, and his eyes flashed with pale skin as white as snow, which was very compatible with those eyes that looked like an abyss.Then there is the flooded blade!
Silk... A small sound of a slight trembling sound was made in the air.
As in one case: that is, the blade does not seem to be too fast, but when you see it, it has come to the front.
Zhu Gaoxu's muscles tensed instantly, he leaned over and stood up, pinching the sword body accurately with his thumb, index finger and middle finger of his left hand!
The sword blade slid forward, and the momentum slowed down. Zhu Gaoxu's lower palm and tiger's mouth immediately stinged.
...The sword blade was violently pinched by Zhu Gaoxu, and there was a moment of brief sliding forward. Ding bang! Something fell to the ground, and a few screams came from my ears.
At this time, a small amount of information was passed on to Zhu Gaoxu's mind as if he knew it.
The assassin was a young woman holding a wooden plate in her left hand. She just took the wooden plate away and the small plate of dessert fell to the ground; the dagger also stabbed it.
The assassin's target of attack was not Zhu Gaoxu, but the Mu family girl sitting opposite her!
The Mu family’s little girl is inside, near the lobby, and Geng Hao is still separated from her and the assassin.After the sword stabbed, Geng Hao hid backwards, and the man had not yet fully stood up.
Zhu Gaoxu pinched the sword with his left hand; his right hand was in the direction of the lobby inside, and he could not fight back instantly.
His left hand exerted force, and instantly led the tip of the sword to the target; the smooth sword body slid slightly from Zhu Gaoxu's fingertips, but the direction was already deviated.
Although his hand was injured, the lever fulcrum of the sword was the front end of the hilt, so Zhu Gaoxu used force to the side more effectively!
The assassin immediately drew his sword backwards. Even if Zhu Gaoxu's hand was strong, he could not chase the power of the assassin holding the hilt of the sword.He let go of his left hand and grabbed the edge of the coffee table with his right hand, ready to lift it up.
At this time, the two soldiers and chieftain women behind Zhu Gaoxu had rushed out to the assassin.The assassin did not launch a second attack and decisively dodged out the door.
stop!The roar of the soldiers came, and the three of them rushed out the door together.
...It seemed like everything was just in a moment. Before people could come back to their senses, the attempted assassination was over.
Zhu Gaoxu looked down at his cut left hand, and blood was flowing down. Only then could he believe that someone was going to assassinate just now, and he was still a little dazed now.
Geng Hao had already stood up and retreated, his back against the wall.The two slaves from the theater were also curled up in the corner, staring in horror.
Mu Xiaoniang sat there. She didn't make any sound or move just now, but just stared at Zhu Gaoxu with her big eyes.The time in the private room seemed to be frozen for a moment, and no one said anything.
Dong, Dong... Zhu Gaoxu heard his heartbeat.
Gradually he came to his senses and took a look at the seat where everyone was sitting.The stage is on the north side, the theater gate is on the south side, and the private room is on the left side of the entrance, which is on the west side.
Zhu Gaoxu sat on the south side of the private room, and this is the best position, diagonally opposite the stage.
On the left is the door of the Mahayana, so he could only grasp the sword with his left hand like a conditioned reflex just now; in this way, he would not have to sit and turn around, and he would reach out faster!
Zhu Gaoxu always believed that his muscle reaction speed was beyond ordinary people, so his talent was always a little faster than his opponents in battle formations.But looking back at the scene just now, he found that the assassin was faster!
Because when the assassin suddenly launched an attack, the person was at the door, slightly further away than Zhu Gaoxu's attack; but the two of them arrived at a certain position almost at the same time.
Why did the assassin start in advance at the door?
It seems to be a raid.
Otherwise, once someone enters the door, the people in the room may turn their heads in advance; from the beginning of attack, she will be in the sight of others!
Zhu Gaoxu did suffer unprepared losses, but his opponent was indeed very fast!This is why his heart was beating very hard, because he felt the real threat.
After the shock just now, anger gradually came to my heart.
Brother, how hurt your hand?Mu Xiaoniang said tremblingly. She had already taken out a handkerchief and reached out with her hands tremblingly, watching the blood dripping gently on the table.
Skin trauma.Zhu Gaoxu took a look at the wound and felt that it hurt more than before. He looked at Mu Xiaoniang's face again, "She is here to kill you, do you know?"
Mu Xiaoniang said in a strange voice: I was implicated by my brother, I was wrong... Thank you for helping me, I dare not forget my kindness.
Zhu Gaoxu breathed out, and waited for her to bandage her wounds, and said earnestly: My mother, be careful, don’t come out privately.
Mu Xiaoniang lowered her head.
At this moment, a general wearing a civilian clothes came in, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "The last general should not protect the prince, and he deserves to die!"
Prince?Mu Xiaoniang looked at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise, and everyone looked over.
Zhu Gaoxu said: This is not the brothers’ fault.
The military general said: The last general asked the prince to hand in the order, and immediately transferred the three guards in front, middle and rear to block the city of Yunnan and search for assassins!
It's too late.Zhu Gaoxu remembered the speed of the assassin just now and said casually.
Moreover, inside and outside the Pear Garden, there are more than a dozen elite soldiers and guards he deployed in advance. They were not caught just now, and they even let the assassin run away. Now they are going to temporarily dispatch troops?
He stood up and said: Find a few people and a carriage and escort Miss Mu back to Mu's mansion.
The general worshiped: The last general receives order!
After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he quickly left the private room without waiting for Mu Xiaoniang and others to speak.The audience in the lobby was watching the play with relish, and they didn't know what had happened, and the actor was singing very well.
Chen Xu came from the corridor and saw Zhu Gaoxu. She immediately knelt on the wooden floor and said: This happened in the Liyuan Garden. I asked the palace to surrender! But I did not know about it in advance, so I hope your highness will understand it clearly.
Zhu Gaoxu walked past her and said: I have something urgent now, so I will talk about it later.
After he walked past, he saw Chen Xu still kneeling there.
He was very angry when his hands hurt, but immediately realized that he was a prince with biggies, so he suppressed his emotions and turned around and asked calmly: Did Mrs. Chen write the invitation by himself?
Chen Xu turned around and said with a confused look on his face: What... Oh, it was indeed written by me.
Zhu Gaoxu said: The handwriting is very good.
...Zhu Gaoxu quickly left the Liyuan and took a carriage back to the Hanwang Mansion.
Sitting in the carriage, he took a deep breath, suggesting he calmed down.But he was still very angry. His opponent had no choice but to assassinate him, as if he had broken up!
What annoyed Zhu Gaoxu the most was that he didn't even know who the assassin was.
The first thing he thought of was the unknown force.The assassin was younger, not the woman they were watching, but most likely a woman's accomplice.
But Zhu Gaoxu was not sure immediately. He took advantage of the time on the road and thought about it repeatedly... I remember a line: The reason for my failure is my lack of imagination.
He began to imagine that the assassin was from Chen Xu's family, or even from Mu's house! But they are all ruled out.
If Chen Xu wanted to kill Mu Xiaoniang and blame Zhu Gaoxu, at least he chose the wrong place, and this happened in her pear garden.
Zhu Gaoxu's carriage entered through Duanli Gate and came to the defence office on the west side. He immediately summoned Wang Bin, Liu Ying, Hou Hai and others to come in.
The woman we were following, immediately deploy the arrest!Zhu Gaoxu made a quick decision.
It is hard to say whether it is the influence of anger, but at this time he is unwilling to continue by speculation and must make substantial progress immediately!
Several people clasped their fists and said: Obey the order!
Zhu Gaoxu said: Wang Bin, you immediately call the brave team of the guard office to stand by.
Get order!Wang Bin said.
Zhu Gaoxu walked on the ground for two steps, and then said, sending someone to the Rongshu Street stronghold and asking the target woman if she was in the yard on the west side of Mu Mansion.He sent someone to the Liuba Village stronghold and asked about Wang Yu's situation.For the latest news, get back as soon as possible!
Get order!
The few people were very silent and stood there thinking.Zhu Gaoxu was also thinking about the connection between the matter.
After waiting for a long time, Wang Bin came back to report that the Quan Yong team had gathered good people and equipped with mail, waist knives, cherry guns, bows, crossbows, net ropes and other arms, and was fully armed on standby.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu unfolded the maps around the two strongholds of Liuba Village and Rongshu Street, which were all drawn by Hou Hai based on the sergeant's investigation report.
Hou Hai suggested: Prince, after the brave team of the Defense Council is dispatched first, can we add more troops to block the four cities?
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: I have faced that assassin myself, which is quite professional...Once this happens, she will first try to leave the city. As long as she leaves the city, it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to search her by rounding up.This was also the case when I went to the capital with Commander Wang, Commander Wei and others.
Moreover, if this matter is too big, it will make the matter more complicated and the aftermath is more difficult.It would be better to send people to several city gates afterwards, and only dozens of people were needed to control the entry and exit of the city gates.
Hou Hai said: What the prince said is very true.
Zhu Gaoxu discovered that when the ancients used a large number of personnel, they were relatively inefficient and mobilized many people, but not many people actually did things.
After a long time, the person who went to ask for the news came back to report.
Wang Yu, a hundred households in Liuba Village, reported that he had seen the woman leave Liuba Village this morning; he returned to the village before the afternoon, and since then, no one similar appeared on the road outside the village.
The Rongshu Street stronghold reported that the woman came to the yard of Rongshu Street this morning; she went out before she could see her since then.Neither of the two strongholds saw a young woman with extremely white skin, and the brothers had never seen this person before.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said firmly: That woman is in Liuba Village!The Quan Yong team immediately went to Liuba Village to arrest him as the original arrangement.A small flag of men rushed to the Rongshu Street stronghold, ready to take action, as long as you find one of the two targets, you will take it down immediately!
Get order!
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head when he heard the voice, and his eyes flashed with pale skin as white as snow, which was very compatible with those eyes that looked like an abyss.Then there is the flooded blade!
Silk... A small sound of a slight trembling sound was made in the air.
