Chapter 44 Double Assassination

A person came to the prefect of Xianyang's mansion, naturally he was not looking for the prefect of Xianyang, but someone from the sixth prince.The sixth prince got the news, rushed back from outside, met the visitor in the study, and the two talked for a whole afternoon, at the end of Shen Shi, the visitor came out of the study, did not stay, and drove away in a hurry. The prince went out from the study, walked around the excavation site of the Lingqu, and then returned to the prefect's mansion to have a meal and rest.

The next day everything will be as usual, the sixth prince will practice martial arts and read books after breakfast, or receive officials and visitors. After lunch, the sixth prince will go to Lingqu to stay for an hour or two. After returning home, he will deal with some official business. meal.There is no special law of life, and there is nothing worthy of attention, but it is a little different at night.

A man in black sneaked into the courtyard where the sixth prince lived. He was very cautious and possessed all the qualities of a killer. After passing all the guards in the courtyard, they hid under the window and waited. After making sure it was safe, they gently opened the window with a dagger. .

The person on the bed didn't notice it, just turned over and continued to sleep. After confirming that there was no more movement from the person on the bed, the man in black walked carefully to the side of the bed. , the dagger was swung down vigorously, and it was about to be hit. Suddenly, a sword came from nowhere, and picked the dagger from the man in black. The man in black knew that he had failed, and wanted to retreat. At that time, there were five or six more people in the house, all of them surrounded him with weapons, and the sound of fighting was heard outside the house.

"If I hadn't been prepared, I would really have died under your dagger." The person who got up calmly on the bed picked up the dagger on the ground. The orchid was clearly poisonous, and he did not expect the eldest prince to be so ruthless.

The fighting outside gradually subsided, and the man in black also guessed that the people he brought might not be alive, and he himself had no possibility of escaping.He looked at the person sitting on the bed, and said affirmatively, "You are not Luo Jinglei."

The person on the bed smiled and said: "I never said that I am the sixth prince! Could it be that you think the person in this room should be the sixth prince?" Then, the person on the bed stood up and got dressed while being served by the people around him. The clothes suddenly arrived yesterday, and Yeluqi should have left yesterday.

The man in black remained silent, and his people kept staring at the sixth prince. He naturally knew what happened yesterday. After thinking about it carefully, he knew what was wrong. It was indeed his negligence. He never thought that the sixth prince would exchange identities with this person. , has already left here.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yeluqi also knew that there was nothing to ask about this kind of killer, so he signaled the people around him to take him down, but the man in black didn't resist, but fell down instead, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and his breath was gone. none.Yeluqi was not surprised. Luo Jinglei's hidden guards were all trained by him. The first thing in the training is that once caught, they will kill themselves.

After this episode, Yeluqi naturally couldn't fall asleep, looked into the distance, prayed that His Highness would be safe and sound, but he didn't know that His Highness, whom he was thinking of, was at a critical moment of life and death.

Luo Jinglei, who switched identities with Yeluqi, rode straight to the capital on horseback, with only Yinyi, Yiner, Yinjiu, Yinshi, and five girls by his side. After driving for a day and a night, both people and horses were a bit overwhelmed. Seeing that it was another sunset, he was planning to find a small town ahead to spend the night, but an accident happened on the way.

A total of 15 people, people in black, suddenly rushed out from the side of the road, and surrounded them neatly, presumably they had been hiding for a long time.

The five people who followed nervously surrounded Luo Jinglei, and the horse seemed to sense it, digging the dirt on the ground with its hooves uneasily. At this moment, it was quiet, only the tired horse's breathing could be heard.

Luo Jinglei didn't want to ask more questions, he also knew that this group of people came to kill him, and when the group of men in black pounced on him, he didn't allow the five people to protect him, pulled out 'Hei Yao', jumped lightly, and dismounted Face the man in black who is the leader of the group.

The man in black also stared at him, waving a unique sword in his hand, tapped his toes lightly, "噗", the two swords passed sideways, as if sparks could still be seen splashing from the sword.

It was just a trial just now, and Luo Jinglei also had some understanding of the man in black in his heart. Although he could restrain or even kill him, he couldn't make a quick decision. The opponent is not weak, and on his side...

Yin Yiyin and Er's martial arts are not bad, so it's no problem to block two with one, but Yin Jiuyin and Shi are not good at fighting, they can fend off one person, and the fifth girl made a long whip with one hand, but at this time, several people can be killed with one whip. Even so, it was obvious that they were powerless to face the remaining 14 people. After a while, several people had many scars on their bodies.

Luo Jinglei frowned, and in a daze, the black-clothed leader had already attacked again, with sword aura attacking people, full of desolate and chilling intent, Luo Jinglei blocked the sword with his backhand, and then his body suddenly turned around, a cold light hit the black-clothed man's throat .

Before the sword arrived, the cold light was close to his body. With a slip of his footsteps, the man in black immediately retreated seven feet away. There was a tree trunk behind him, and there was no way to retreat. The sword in Luo Jinglei's hand was already close to him, and he was about to stab him. The man in black resolutely turned sideways to avoid the deadly spot on his body, and Luo Jinglei's sword only made a big cut on his shoulder.

The man in black took a few steps back, away from Luo Jinglei's attack range, caressing the wound on his shoulder, blood dripping from his fingers.

The man in black is not very good, and Luo Jinglei's man is not much better. They are no longer fighting each other as before, but leaning against their backs. Although they don't have the power of just now, they are much safer after all. The wounds on their bodies were also constantly oozing blood, and they looked really embarrassed.

Luo Jinglei knew that they wouldn't be able to hold on for long, the martial arts of these men in black were not bad, and the worst was Yin Jiu's martial prowess.Tightening the 'Hei Yao' in his hand, Luo Jinglei decided to deal with it quickly, it would be bad for them if it wasted.

Although the man in black was injured, he wasn't worried. Although he didn't expect Luo Jinglei's martial arts to be so good, but now as long as he is held back and his attendants are dealt with, then it will be a matter of time before Luo Jinglei is killed.Therefore, for Luo Jinglei's onslaught, he used defense as an offense, dodging left and right, but he did not let Luo Jinglei get away to help others.

This kind of fight made Luo Jinglei very annoyed. Yin Jiu blocked Yin Shi just now and was unable to fight any more. The other four surrounded Yin Jiu in the middle, the pressure increased sharply, and there were several more wounds on his body. The man in black Only 5 were killed, 2 were injured, and there were [-] more around them, and they were also at the end of their strength.

"Master, go away!" Yin Yi shouted at Luo Jinglei, his eyes were full of determination, while the others did not speak, but their eyes were equally determined.

Luo Jinglei was a little hesitant. Even if he left, he might not be able to escape their pursuit. When he was hesitating, the fifth girl was slashed with a sword, bleeding profusely, and he might not be able to wield the long whip again.

"Da, da" came the sound of horseshoes in the distance, Luo Jinglei and the man in black frowned at the same time, if it was the man in black, then Luo Jinglei and the others would undoubtedly die, if it was Luo Jinglei's man, the man in black would definitely not be able to complete the task, There are no bones left.

"Your Highness!" The visitor shouted, seeing that the situation was not right, a group of people behind him consciously beheaded the remaining few people one by one, only a few people were rescued, narrowly escaped death, and their minds gradually relaxed.

"Fengmao, is that you?" The man in black was beheaded, and Luo Jinglei put away 'Hei Yao', a little surprised by the visitor.

"Huh! Fortunately, Your Highness is fine." Seeing that he was fine, Ouyang Fengmao finally let go of his heart, thinking to himself that Mr. is wise, if Mr. hadn't urged him, he would not have rushed so fast, and fortunately he caught up.

The men in black underneath did not survive. Luo Jinglei took a look and his eyes darkened. Before he left, he had already confirmed that the killers had arrived in Xianyang City. A traitor or a bug.

Ouyang Fengmao looked at his expression and also at the body of the man in black, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it's You Jin's masterpiece. He is cautious, so he must have sent two groups of killers."

Luo Jinglei didn't speak, it was acquiescence to his words, and he also believed in the loyalty of those around him, so he asked instead: "Why did you come?" He did not arrange for Ouyang Fengmao to come to meet him, and he brought the Xia family His people, these people only recognize his jade card, but he can't remember who the jade card was given to in the first place.

"I was worried about His Highness. I thought that there were not many people around His Highness, so I brought people here." Ouyang Fengmao said, shaking the jade tablet in his hand, but sighed inwardly. After Mr. explained, he could not be mentioned. .

Naturally, the jade pendant could not be faked, Luo Jinglei nodded, watching the gradually darkening sky, said: "Let's go, go to the front to stay."

"Okay!" Ouyang Fengmao passed on the words, and someone immediately brought Luo Jinglei's horse over.

At dusk, a group of people headed eastward with the setting sun on their backs. Horses trampled and a cloud of dust was raised, leaving corpses all over the place.
