Chapter 143 Assassination
When night fell, lanterns lit up on the surface of the river, and the big ship ups and downs under the light, accompanied by sparkling light, and the silence was abnormal.
not far after more than a dozen large boats, a small boat followed slowly, hiding in the darkness, and more than a dozen figures stood quietly on the boat.
"Whey!"
A man in black emerged from the water. Two of the more than ten people in black came forward and pulled the man in the water into the boat. After the man in the water got ashore, he took off his soaked clothes and threw them on the boat.
"Leader." Around the crowd, the man in black came to the front man in black to hold the boxing.
"Hmm." The person known as the leader did not look back and gave a soft hum.
The person before the meeting was not angry. The man in black breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are more than a dozen big ships that are heavily guarded. I have gone up and seen it. There is nothing on the seven big ships behind. It seems that they are all horses and food. The situation on the first three ships is a little strange.
"Oh, what's so weird?" The man in black turned around and took advantage of the light reflected on the river in front of him. He could faintly see the cold face of the man in black, with some beard under his jaw. He was more than 40 years old, but his eyes were peaceful and not cold at all.
Seeing the man in black turn around, the man in black behind him bowed slightly and said, "The reason why the first three big ships are strange is that these three big ships are really different. The first big ship was extremely luxurious, full of gold and jade, almost everywhere. On the second big ship, there is nothing, just like the seven big ships in the back, without any decoration. The third big ship is exactly the opposite. The upper deck of the big ship is full of dust and dirt, and the rooms in the cabin are also tattered and not suitable for people to live in at all.
"This is novel. I'm afraid Liu Qi already knows that we are coming. Today, Song Zhong just boarded the big ship, and Liu Qi made the arrangement. Ha ha, she is really afraid of death." The mouth of the person known as the leader is slightly upturned, and his voice is like a night owl.
"What the leader said is that the black guard has not moved for several years, but his reputation is still there. Liu Qi is probably scared. I think he is likely to hide on the third big ship like a beggar..." The man in black was about to say that the leader in black glanced at him, and the man in black immediately closed his mouth.
The leader in black stopped the man in black from continuing to speak and was silent for more than ten people on the boat: "Three people on each of the first three big ships went up to find an opportunity to assassinate Liu Qi. If you don't see Liu Qi, you will create chaos and set the boat on fire. There is one person on each of the remaining seven big ships. You don't need to assassinate, just set fire to the ship. After saying that, he waved his hand to let the people on the boat leave.
"Whey!"
"Whey!"
"Whey!"
............
More than a dozen people immediately jumped into the water, leaving only three people on the ship, including the leader in black.
The man in black looked at the leader in black and hesitated, "Isn't the leader dispersing his strength by doing this?"
The leader in black has closed his eyes slightly since everyone left, as if calculating the time. When he heard the man in black's question, his eyelids slightly raised and glanced at the man in black.
The man in black immediately was as cold as a cicada, and there was some sweat on his forehead. He secretly scolded himself for death. The leader in front of him was notoriously grumpy and cruel. The person who offended him did not have a good end.
The leader in black seemed to be quite satisfied with the man in black in front of him. He turned around and looked at a big ship not far away and said, "There are not many people with him this time. It is very unlikely that he wants to assassinate Liu Qi successfully. We have never thought of a successful assassination and let the enemy die in fear. It's the best punishment."
"The leader is very good." The man in black said hurriedly. After saying that, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, but he was relieved.
More than a dozen people in black dived close to the big ship from the water. On the road, they divided into ten strands and swam to different ships. These people in black dived under the boat and climbed along the bottom of the boat to the side of the ship, just close to the hull. The breeze blew above the river, and soon the clothes of the man in black dried. At this time, the black man was smooth. Climb up with the hull.
The man in black was sensitive and did not make a sound, and the soldiers guarding the deck did not find anything abnormal at all.
On the deck of the first big ship, Wei Yan stood in the bow, followed by more than a dozen flying tiger guards. At this time, Wei Yan pretended to look at the river as if nothing had happened, but his heart was extremely nervous. His left hand holding the hilt of the sword was already a little numb because it was too strong.
Because it is difficult for the assassin to hide his tracks on the river during the day, so it is most likely that the assassin will assassinate at night. Wei Yan chose to stand on the deck to attract the assassin at this time, which is undoubtedly an extremely risky move. You should know that the assassin will not come openly. There is no specific time for the assassin to assassinate, maybe one Inadvertently, he will come to assassinate at this moment.
Although it was dangerous, Wei Yan did not return to the cabin. Although Liu Qi had accepted him, he was much inferior to Wang Yi and Gan Ning. Although Fei Huwei and Jinfan Thieves were extremely respectful to him, they were not very convinced. Their respect for him was convincing to Liu Qi, not to him.
Just like Gan Ning and Wang Yi, no matter who they are, no matter where they go, the soldiers on the big ship are extremely convinced of them. Every time he thought of this, Wei Yan was a little reluctant. He was not jealous of Gan Ning, but felt that he could not humiliate Liu Qi. Therefore, he personally pretended to be Liu Qi to attract assassins. Sure enough, the soldiers around him looked at him with more admiration.
As we all know, pretending to be Liu Qi and attracting assassins is definitely a matter of life. In addition to Wei Yan's other two soldiers pretending to be Liu Qi, Gan Ning and others have promised on behalf of Liu Qi that if they die in battle, his family will be properly placed and will find the best teacher for their children, and let their families Worry-free life is exactly what they dream of.
Wow!
"It seems that the assassin will not come today." Wei took a long breath, moved his stiff wrist, loosened the hilt of his sword, stretched his long waist and was ready to turn back to the cabin to rest.
Suddenly, Wei Yan saw a bright light flashing by. Wei Yan was shocked. He didn't have time to draw his sword or even react. Wei Yan suddenly took a step aside.
Wei Yan's brocade robe had been cut, and his arm was cold, and then the severe pain came, and the bright red blood soaked the shirt in an instant.
Wei Yan turned his head and looked aside. He saw a man in black wrapped in black standing just now. The man in black was holding a dagger in his hand. Through the light on the ship, Wei Yan also saw the remaining blood on the tip of the sword.
Wei Yan was terrified, and his whole back had been soaked in cold sweat. If he hadn't accidentally seen the reflection of the dagger and subconsciously dodged, he was afraid that the dagger of the man in black had pierced his heart at this time.
