Chapter 102 The Nest
In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there are dense water networks and woodlands everywhere. The dense and dense woodlands are rolled away by the river water.
On the edge of Jingkou Avenue, the tall Zhongshan Mountain can be seen at a glance, but deep in the Zhongshan Mountain, in a hidden cave, there are a group of rough men with knives in their hands squatting on the ground with grass roots in their mouths, or sitting on stones
superior.
gurgling gurgling~
The sound of springs is endless, the sound of birds chirping is very clear, and a gust of summer wind blows, causing the leaves to rustle. Apart from the fact that the mountains are hot and humid and poisonous insects are everywhere, there is nothing bad about it.
"I'm a thief, I didn't expect that Zhao Yue would be protected by warriors. This assassination mission was supposed to be foolproof, but now it's all in vain."
The silence was broken by a shirtless ranger with a scar at the corner of his eye.
"Oh~ I have to make another plan."
The ranger sitting in the main seat of the cave spoke.
"It's just...how to make another plan?"
The Scar Ranger snorted coldly and said angrily: "We are fully prepared this time. More than 200 brothers gathered together. In the end, Zhao Yue's life could not be taken. Now we have frightened the snake, and our strength is even weaker."
, I’m afraid Zhao Yue won’t give me another chance.”
As soon as Scar Ranger said this, the leading ranger also fell silent.
"According to me, why not just wait for the bulk cargo."
Scar Ranger's eyes were shrewd. He just turned in a circle and continued: "The brothers suffered heavy losses along the way. It is considered that their kindness and justice have been exhausted. Now that they are separated, they have not apologized to anyone."
As soon as Scar Ranger said these words, many rangers and desperadoes in the cave started talking about it.
"The king is kind to us. If we can't complete this task, how can we face the king?"
"That's right, if I can't accomplish this small thing, how can your Majesty use me?"
"It's better to try again."
"It's just...it's already impossible to kill Zhao Yue now."
....
The leader ranger saw the expressions on everyone's faces and roughly understood what these people thought.
"Everyone, we who are rangers put our righteousness first. You all know how the King treats us. Now we are required to work hard. We will not quit just because of the slightest risk. How will outsiders view us?
?How can I still have the dignity to be this ranger in the future?"
The leader ranger looked around at everyone, and finally turned his attention to the Scar Ranger.
"Wenzeng, what do you think?"
The Scar Ranger's face was gloomy, but he couldn't say anything more.
"I shall serve myself."
"good!"
When the leader of the rangers saw that everyone was being twisted into a rope again, he also said the following words.
"There are warriors guarding Zhao Yue. If we follow the previous methods, it will be extremely difficult to deal with him. Only by using some conspiracy can we get close to Zhao Yue."
"I wonder what the plan is?"
"Do you know how to leave the story?"
"If you want to leave the story, we will naturally understand."
Yaoli was born with a small stature, only over five feet, with a waist circumference. He was ugly in appearance and had the courage of ten thousand people. Later, he successfully assassinated Qing Ji and became a famous assassin in the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Who is more difficult to assassinate Zhao Yue than to assassinate Qing Ji?"
King Helu of Wu wanted to send someone to assassinate Wu Gongzi Qingji who had fled, but Wu Zixu recommended Li.
Later, Yao Li resorted to the "bitter flesh trick" to kill his wife and children, mutilating his body, and pretended to defect to Qing Ji. Qing Ji was tall and strong as an ox, and was known as the first warrior of the Wu Kingdom.
However, Yao Li used his resourcefulness and finally assassinated Qing Ji.
"Of course Qingji is even harder to kill."
"In this case, what are we afraid of?" the leader ranger scolded everyone.
"I'm naturally not afraid!"
"Yes, I'm not afraid of waiting!"
"The people who are afraid are the ones without eggs."
When the leader ranger saw that his military spirit was available, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"In this case, I swear with the fish intestine sword that I will not kill Zhao Yue or leave Jiankang!"
The fish intestine sword is a bit like the lines on the sword of ancient swords, which are twists and turns and uneven.
It looks like a dagger, just a short sword. It is really famous because of an assassin: Zhuan Zhu.
The Fish Intestine Sword was specially designed to put a dagger in the belly of a fish to kill King Liao of Wu, so it was called the Fish Intestine Sword. It was a sword of great courage.
certainly...
The fish intestine sword in the hands of the leader of the rangers is naturally very similar to the brave sword that was used to assassinate king Liao in the past, but it is just an imitation.
But it’s not important whether it’s authentic or not, the meaning behind it is particularly important.
"If you don't kill Zhao Yue, you won't leave Jiankang!"
Everyone looked at the fish intestine sword in the hand of the leader ranger and immediately chanted.
"good!"
The leader of the rangers stood up from the stone and said: "Wen Zeng, I heard that you have a sister who is widowed by the Huaihe River. We rough guys can't get close to Zhao Yue, but your sister may not be able to get close."
Scar Ranger's eyes narrowed, murderous intent secretly building up in his eyes.
"It's no harm to my family. Your Majesty is kind to me, but not to her."
"That's not necessarily true. If it weren't for Your Majesty, your sister wouldn't be able to get rid of the suspicion easily for killing her husband. Do you think so?"
Scar Ranger Wen Zeng's fist suddenly clenched.
"Pa bang bang~"
At this almost tense moment, a very inappropriate clapping sound suddenly sounded.
The leader of the rangers was angry for a moment, wondering what kind of person without discernment was causing trouble at this time, but he turned his head away, and before the words of reprimand came out of his mouth, his eyes widened.
It turned out that the person clapping and clapping was none other than Zhao Yue!
"You...you~"
The leader of the rangers was angry and anxious, not expecting Zhao Yue to appear here.
How did they get there? And so silently?!
Just when he wanted to order someone to take advantage of this golden opportunity to kill Zhao Yue on the spot, the crossbows, the big bows, and the bright ring-headed knives made him very sensible and about to say it out.
Swallowed the words back.
"I don't think you desperadoes have a certain sense of loyalty, but your loyalty is in the wrong hands. You are loyal to King Nanton, but King Nanton has left your lives behind. What can you do about it?"
"Zhao Yue, there is a road to heaven if you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you come here on your own. Since you have come to die, brothers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The time has come to be loyal to the king!"
The leader ranger roared three times, but no one below responded.
Loyalty is necessary.
But now someone is putting a knife on your neck. If you are loyal at this time, isn't that asking for death?
"How did you find us?" Scar Ranger Wen Zeng spoke at this time.
"Isn't it easy to find you rats?"
The ranger escaped that day, but not everyone escaped. There were still a few unlucky ones who were caught by him.
It is not difficult to ask about this place from their mouths.
What Zhao Yue didn't expect was that instead of trying to escape, these rangers wanted to assassinate him.
This so-called loyalty is really ridiculous!
