Mr. Huang was holding a loaded Rumi gun, lying on the branches of a large locust tree, looking nervously at the boat on the river not far away.
The small river passed through a patch of rocks. As long as the boat rowed forward, the pursuers on land could no longer pursue it. The small boat was the only escape route for Boss Huang and the other four assassins. Boss Huang looked at the small boat and said,
But he still couldn't find a sense of security in his heart. This time, Boss Huang had no clue about the assassination of Jin Guogong.
There seems to be no problem with the plan. His Highness Prince Deok learned by chance that Li Zhi was going to Qianfo Mountain to worship Buddha. Li Zhi must have passed through this locust forest when he came out of the south gate. Five assassins were hiding in these locust trees. They would wait for Li Zhi to come over.
shot.
The branches of these locust trees are lush and leafy, and their huge crowns block the sunlight above their heads, leaving only bits and pieces of broken light, making the road under the woods quite dark. How many people are hiding in this crown?
A little question.
There are hundreds of large locust trees nearby. It is impossible for Li Zhi's personal guards to climb up the trees one by one to check if there is anyone on the branches. As long as Li Zhi passes under the tree, the five assassins will definitely be able to kill the Duke of Jin.
Break into a sieve.
As soon as Li Zhi died, Li Zhi's personal bodyguards must have been too busy rescuing people to catch the assassin. At that time, the five assassins jumped off the tree, sat on the small boat, and escaped.
But for some reason, Mr. Huang just felt flustered.
Liu Laoer and Huang Laoer were hiding in this big locust tree together, and the other three were hiding in another locust tree. At this time, Li Zhi's team was not seen yet. Liu Laoer raised his head and looked at Huang Laozi, surprised.
Asked: "Boss Huang, why are you so sweaty?"
Boss Huang looked at himself and realized that he was sweating so much that all his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Boss Huang secretly pushed aside the leaves and looked into the distance to make sure that Li Zhi's team had not come over yet, and then he said to Liu Laoer: "Liu Laoer, if we quit now, will King De let us go?"
When Liu Laoer heard what Boss Huang said, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Boss Huang, King De has supported us for ten years, and now it is time for us to serve King De. Not to mention that King De has planned carefully this time, and his strategy is flawless. He will be rewarded with just one vote. If you run away at this time,
Now, will King De let you go?"
"Who is King De? Even if you escape from Shandong, you can't escape King De's pursuit."
Boss Huang saw the cold light in Liu Laoer's eyes and felt cold in his heart.
Boss Huang knew that if he escaped now, Liu Laoer would definitely shoot him to death. He had no way out this time.
Boss Huang was so devastated that he just lay on the branch, speechless.
After thinking for a long time, Mr. Huang suddenly gritted his teeth and made up his mind to do it. At this time, retreating would be a dead end. If he rushed forward and killed Li Zhi, he might have endless glory and wealth in his next life. He wiped his hands
I wiped off the fine sweat on my head, stretched out the Rumi gun outside the leaves, and aimed it at the avenue leading up the mountain to worship the Buddha.
The five assassins held their breath on the locust tree, waiting for Li Zhi's team to come over.
After waiting for half an hour, I saw the Duke's guard of honor approaching.
In front is the flag of the Duke, then there are the golden melons and golden sticks held by the guards, and then there are ten guards wearing flying fish uniforms. According to King De's teaching, behind these ten guards are the officers wearing unicorns.
In his robe, Li Zhi, the Duke of Jin, rode on the horse given by the emperor. With his heart in his throat, Boss Huang pointed his gun at the ten guards. He waited for Li Zhi to ride to the position of the guards and fired.
Ten personal guards rode over, and sure enough, a eagle-saddled horse came behind them.
However, Boss Huang took a closer look and saw that there was no one there immediately.
Boss Huang was stunned for a moment, and then his body shook violently.
There was no one right away. How could there be no one right away? Li Zhi didn’t come? Why didn’t Li Zhi come when five people wanted to assassinate him? Li Zhi knew that someone wanted to assassinate him? The assassination plan was discovered by Li Zhi? King De was tricked?
Boss Huang suddenly felt that his life was over. His hands were trembling and he could hardly hold the Lumi Gun. His eyes became so hot that he shed two tears.
Liu Laoer yelled: "Fell into a trap! Get on the boat!"
Liu Laoer and the other three assassins jumped out of the big locust tree and were about to rush to the boat on the river. However, the four of them only ran a few steps when they heard a crisp sound. They were waiting on the boat to pick up the assassins.
The boatman was shot in the chest, his body twitched, and he fell from the boat into the water with a thud.
Two small boats rowed up from the downstream, blocking the way of the small boats. The company commander of the Huben Division on the bow was Li Zhi's former guard platoon leader Zhang Yu. He blew on the steaming gun barrel,
He snorted coldly.
When Liu Laoer saw this posture, he immediately threw away Rumi's gun and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly to the guards of the Duke of Jin who were riding slowly over:
"My lord, spare your life! I'll tell you, I'll tell you anything!"

Zhu Youshu, the king of virtue, stood in front of the table in the study, holding his breath and drawing a landscape painting. He rolled up the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, looking very focused, and did not seem to be distracted by the fact that the assassin was assassinating Li Zhi.
However, the violent trembling tip of the brush betrayed him, showing how nervous he was at this time.
Zhu Youshu couldn't control the trembling of his right hand and couldn't draw at all. He became a little angry and slammed the brush on the raw rice paper.
When the eunuch of the palace who was waiting nearby saw Zhu Youshu's anger, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop. Several maids were even more frightened and prostrate themselves on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Zhu Youshu glanced around suddenly and shouted: "Get out! Get out of here!"
The eunuchs and maids, as if they had been pardoned, got up and ran out of the hall one by one.
Zhu Youshu sat on the chair in frustration, gritted his teeth hard, and began to regret the arrangement of assassinating Li Zhi for the second time.
Why did he become so arrogant when Zhan Kejian encouraged him? Why could he still not control his temper at this age? By killing Li Zhi, the gentry in Shandong benefited, and each one of them kept the donated land. What he got was nothing more.
It’s just tens of thousands taels of income from the feudal prince’s manor a year.
Even if you don't have these manors, you still have a salary. Is it worth taking risks for these manors?
Who is Li Zhi? He kills Tatars and thieves, climbs out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Five assassins with Rumi guns can kill him? Li Zhi didn't spy on him. Maybe Li Zhi has something better.
It’s just a terrible surveillance method that I didn’t notice.
How could a person who could defeat Huang Taiji and single-handedly support the Ming Dynasty be so naive and deceitful? What happened to him? He was actually encouraged by You Yipeng, who did not know how high the sky was, to assassinate Li Zhi twice.
Although the news from Qianfo Mountain has not yet come, Zhu Youshu vaguely felt that he must have failed this time.
Not only was it defeated, it was finished.
Zhu Youshu was feeling depressed there when he heard a loud bang coming from the main entrance of the palace.
"Master Huben is taking someone! Everyone kneels down! Anyone who blocks his path will be shot to death!"
Zhu Youshu's face turned pale, he rushed out of the room and rushed towards the back door.
