I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 44 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west

It was not the time to wear this dress yet, so Shen Changgong tied it around his waist, then climbed over the courtyard wall and jumped directly behind the shadow guard hidden in the corner.

Then he clenched his right fist and punched the opponent's temple hard, and covered the shadow guard's mouth and nose with his left hand to prevent him from making any sound.

The shadow guard fainted without a word.

The back of the head, temples, back of the neck, and jaw are areas with dense nerves, and they are prone to fainting if hit hard.

However, the duration of fainting varies from person to person. In order to prevent the other party from ruining his plans, Shen Changgong immediately took out the sleeping pills and smeared a little under the nose of the shadow guard to ensure that the other party would not wake up suddenly.

Then, Shen Changgong began to set traps.

He first took out the sleeve arrow, fixed it with a wooden stick in the corner of the wall, strung it, and fixed it at a position of one meter and three. This ensured that it would not hit the vital points of other shadow guards, injure them, and cause greater chaos.

Shen Changgong calculated the time it would take for the patrol to arrive here, then he straightened up the unconscious shadow guard, let him lean against the wall, and used a rope to connect the other's neck and the trigger of the bowstring.

The sleeve arrow is actually the simplest crossbow, which he invented himself.

Shen Changgong ensured that this shadow guard would slide down at a slow speed and eventually trigger the bowstring.

The next step is to find a way to attract the patrol team to this corner.

Shen Changgong looked around, then rummaged on the ground and found a bronze gong.

Is this thing used as a warning?

Anyway, as long as it works.

Shen Changgong put the gong on the ground, then took out a rope, supported it in the crack of the wall with a tough wooden stick, and tied a green brick under the stick and rope to form a fishing rod.

Because the wooden stick was a little soft and Shen Changgong didn't tie it tightly, the rope kept moving downward due to the gravity of the blue bricks.

After calculating the friction and the acceleration of gravity as it moves forward, Shen Changgong concluded that the drill would hit the gong in about two minutes.

The next patrol team should be two minutes away from here at that time. If they hear the sound, they will run over quickly. In that case, it will take at most half a minute.

Shen Changgong adjusted the height of the shadow guard again to make him fall faster.

After confirming that everything was safe, Shen Changgong did not run outside to find an empty place. Instead, he ran inside, bypassed two houses, jumped up, climbed over the inner wall, and came to the back of the area where the large house in the middle was located.

He hid in a shadowy corner, covered himself with some miscellaneous items, and then quietly changed into the stripped-off shadow guard clothes.

Waiting for chaos to break out.

……

In the middle training room.

Gongsun Wan'er was sitting on a chair, with her long, beautiful legs under her white tights crossed, looking very leisurely.

Inside the room, there were dozens of shadow guards standing respectfully, not saying a word, with solemn eyes.

They received an order today saying that the new leader of the Shadow Guards was coming. He was the recently popular Grand Commandant Shen Changgong, who was also the empress's husband.

Gongsun Wan'er also told them that the new leader was very powerful. It rained heavily last night and dozens of assassins attacked them, but almost all of them were killed by Shen Changgong alone.

None of the shadow guards were convinced by these words, but instead they became even more dissatisfied.

Maybe Shen Changgong really has some skills, but they are all outstanding. They are elite assassins trained by the late emperor himself. Their hands are stained with blood. They have assassinated many people and all of them were successful.

They didn't think that Shen Changgong was stronger than any of them.

Even under Gongsun Wan'er's suggestion, they were already preparing to challenge the new leader.

These people were all eager to try, and even Gongsun Wan'er, seeing their expressions, had a smug smile on her face.

Humph, there are so many people here. Let’s see how you, Shen Changgong, sneak in quietly. When I bring them to catch you, I will slap you three times in front of everyone to teach you a lesson.

Gongsun Wan'er had even imagined that scene: Shen Changgong stood respectfully in front of her. She looked at him arrogantly, stretched out her white little hand, and slapped that handsome face hard, making it swollen.

Let him be disfigured, and then brought before Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can see his ugliness and you will not like him.

When she thought of this, Gongsun Wan'er couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

In the southwest corner of the Shadow Guard compound, the rope with the blue brick hanging on it finally couldn't hold on any longer and slid to the front end of the stick.

The stick was bent badly, and finally, the rope left the stick and hit the gong heavily.

The very tough stick was also knocked out of the crack in the wall by the rebound force, and no one knew where it flew to.

when! ! !

A huge gong sounded in the silent night sky.

The patrol team not far away heard the sound, and five people immediately ran over here quickly.

When they ran over, they saw their companions falling down weakly.

"Not good! There are enemies!"

A shadow guard shouted loudly, and suddenly, three crossbow arrows appeared from the corner of the wall and flew towards him at high speed. Nothing could be seen in the dark night. The three crossbow arrows were distributed in a fan shape and pierced three people respectively.

One was stabbed in the stomach, while the other two were stabbed in the arms and thighs.

They actually had soft armor, but they didn't wear it. After all, it was very uncomfortable to wear, and no one thought that they would be attacked in their own nest.

The three people were stabbed and immediately screamed.

Their two companions were shocked and immediately pulled the man who was shot in the stomach and thigh and ran to the back of the nearest house. The man with the injured arm also followed immediately.

When the enemy's number is unknown but we are in the dark, the most important thing is to find cover first to ensure your own safety.

One of the uninjured people immediately said,

"Damn it! Three arrows, there must be at least three enemies! Sound the alarm and call for help! Lao Liu, keep an eye on that place. Report any signs of trouble immediately. Keep a close eye on it!"

After he finished speaking, he picked up his gong and started beating it while shouting,

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding patrol teams immediately ran towards this side.

The assassins in the training room were frightened when they heard the shouting and looked at Gongsun Wan'er.

Gongsun Wan'er stood up suddenly, her face showing an unconcealable joy.

"Everyone, move out! Bring that man back alive to me! Bring him back alive!"
