A little further away, Cao Yiyan, who had reached the stairs, suddenly looked back.
Separated by the figures of several scholars, he saw that the arranged assassin had successfully approached King Dai. He thought he would see chaos immediately, but it turned out to be such a coincidence. The assassin approached as if nothing had happened, but King Dai actually left. The two of them were like this.
I went there twice, which even made Cao Yiyan think that King Dai had noticed something.
"Did King Dai have guessed something a long time ago?" Cao Yiyan had some ideas. The assassin finally seized the opportunity when King Dai stopped talking to people. He quickly "swam" to his side like a fish in water.
"What are you talking about, is it waste?"
As soon as he got close, the assassin didn't hesitate at all. He pretended to be an ordinary scholar and wanted to talk to Su Ziji. Suddenly, he put his hand into his arms and pulled it out.
The short sword in his arms was only about one-third of the saber. It looked inconspicuous. But when he pulled it out, it felt cold and murderous.
The sword flashed and it stabbed forward.
"There's an assassin!" The wild Taoist a few steps away suddenly turned pale with fright, shouted and rushed towards him.
"Poof" Just at this moment, Su Ziji took a step back, and there was only a sound of tearing. The big sleeve was torn with a big seam, which was close to the skin, but it was not hurt.
"Luck?" The short blade was only one point away. The assassin paused and had no time to think. He shrunk and leaned closer. Then the sword seemed to be integrated into one. He moved upwards and slashed at Su Ziji's neck.
go.
The neck is a vital point. If you hit it, it will be difficult to save your life, even if the person's head falls to the ground. It can be seen that it is for murder.
This incident actually happened in an instant. The wild Taoist's cry and the assassin's attack made everyone around freeze up, making it difficult to react for a moment.
Cao Yiyan looked at it from a distance and nodded slightly.
"This swordsmanship is a bit exciting. Let me see if King Dai is real or not."
"Don't hurt my lord!" Just thinking, I saw a gray shadow on the stairs, and heard the sound of wind. In an instant, the long knife penetrated, with a thrilling roar, sparks flying, and the light of the knife stabbing from the opposite side suddenly exploded.
"Ah, there is an assassin!"
"Come quickly, catch the assassin!"
Following the block, the originally suppressed sounds around him started to pour out like a flood, and there were screams one after another.
Cao Yiyan could see it clearly and felt a little disappointed. It was a pity that he could not take this opportunity to see the reality of the king.
But this was just incidental. He shook his head and made a decision immediately: "If the stab is missed, there is no chance of success. However, our goal has been achieved - King Dai was assassinated. It is not suitable to stay on this ship for a long time. Let's go."
"Also, instruct our people to keep the suspicions of Prince Qi's residence behind."
"Understood, our boat is waiting outside." Zhong Cui mingled with a few people in the crowd, and walked down while protecting Cao Yiyan.
At the moment when the crowd was commotion, I walked quickly along the flow of people. Even the strong man in uniform who was climbing up and passed me didn't notice anything wrong. After all, everyone was running away.
With a "Zheng" sound, the assassin was shaken several feet away. He just missed the attack and knew something was wrong. The attack failed. He leaned down and took a few quick steps to escape.
At this moment, I couldn't help but change my mind. One person blocked it and struck with a long knife. A deep shout came: "Thief, you still don't want to die!"
"Clang, clank..." The sound of gold and iron clashed, and the sword light on the second floor flew up.
"Lord! Be careful!"
At this time, the wild Taoist had squeezed back to Su Ziji's side. He had just jumped forward, and the tung oil floor was wiped clean. His foot slipped and he fell heavily. He was probably bruised and swollen, and his clothes were crooked, so he didn't
Pay attention to it, pull Su Ziji and step back.
Since we don't know if there are any assassins in the crowd, we must be cautious at this moment.
Smart people always know how to seek good luck and avoid disaster. Everyone is a scholar and no one is stupid. They ran away one after another. The whole second floor was in chaos. Some people who failed to escape in time were injured by the knife, which caused more and more panic.
"Ouch, give way, give way!" The shocked scholars fled in all directions. Among them was a scholar who looked inconspicuous. While running away, he panicked and ran into people from Prince Qi's palace who were also fleeing.
.
King Qi was already shocked by the sudden assassination of King Dai. He was worried that something might happen again and was so uneasy that he didn't notice that some of the ordinary scholars scattered around had already been eyeing him.
I just heard a bang, as if something had fallen to the ground.
King Qi's people's hearts skipped a beat and they wanted to look back, but now they were on the stairs, being carried down by the crowd. It was almost impossible to squeeze back to see what had fallen.
Before the man hesitated, he was pushed away.
Seeing the guards of the boat going up one after another, he could only grit his teeth and quickly take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Further away, Cao Yiyan, who had already arrived on the deck, moved his ears. There was a sound inside that others could not hear. He heard it clearly and knew that the matter was done. He jumped onto a nearby ship with a smile.
The boat was a bit small, so as soon as Zhong Cui and others got on the boat, they quickly moved away and headed towards the distance.
Just after leaving, I heard the screams from the painting boat where the cultural gathering was held. It was obvious that the people in the painting boat were controlling the situation.
In fact, even if you don't control the situation and the boat is on the water, as long as the boat doesn't pick up people and leave, how easy is it to leave?
And these have nothing to do with Cao Yiyan. He designed everything and naturally thought carefully about the escape route and was not trapped in the boat.
On the way back, I even enjoyed the scenery. Not to mention the lotus flowers, the embankment was not far away. Although it was dark at this time, the lights were bright, rows of shops were open, pedestrians were bustling, and there was a hint of rain.
The haze is scattered in the breeze, which adds to the fun and creates a scene of prosperity.
Even though he is the king of Yingguo, he still feels that this place is unique in terms of scenery.
"The capital of the Wei Dynasty and the country of the Wei Dynasty will eventually return to my hands."
When the ship docked, an ordinary-looking bullock cart naturally stopped. Someone silently helped him get on the cart. Cao Yiyan got on the cart and sat on it, saying: "Go back!"
The driver shouted, and the oxen started moving. They walked leisurely together, crossed a street, and arrived at a place. The oxcart stopped for a moment. Cao Yiyan got out of the car and heard the sound of horse hooves in the next street.
"It came so quickly."
Cao Yiyan quickly walked in. This temporary residence was in a building facing the street. It had two floors. He rushed to the second floor, opened the window, and looked down through the open gap. He saw a group of cavalry galloping from under his nose.
Pass.
After closing the window, someone quietly came in and served tea and fruit snacks. Cao Yiyan sat on his seat, drinking tea slowly and thinking deeply.
"With such a quick response, the pseudo-Zheng can be called an elite."
"I'm afraid the great undertaking will be difficult!"
Zhong Cui was sitting next to him, drinking tea and saying nothing.
After a while, someone came in and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the assassination of King Dai has been taken over by the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. The officials of Shuntian Prefecture have surrounded the painting boat where the cultural gathering was held. Not only was the assassin captured, but also found on the big boat.
A token from Prince Qi’s Mansion.”
This matter was originally explained by Cao Yiyan, and he went there in person and saw the assassination scene with his own eyes. Now that he heard the follow-up, he naturally felt a little satisfied and felt that this matter was not out of his control.
"Hey, regardless of anything else, the fake Zheng's prince Feng and his grandson are assassinating each other. Things have reached this point. Let me see what you do."
