Chapter 183 Like Walking on Thin Ice 13
When the man looked to the right and fell empty, he knew that he had been fooled. Almost Zhao Xin's voice shouted out and his body suddenly tilted back. The short knife in his hand came out of his hand and quickly shot at Zhao Xin, which was as fast as lightning.
Zhao Xinzhi felt a cold in front of him. He didn't have time to think. He just subconsciously turned his head and wiped his cheeks with a short knife. Fortunately, he only wiped a layer of oily skin, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. Zhao Xin suddenly didn't have time to get a chance to get a trick. He knew that this person was by no means mediocre. He didn't dare to be careless any more. He quickly stared and flew forward to fight with him.
When Zhao Xin fell asleep, he walked out of the courtyard. He was wearing only a thin coat, so he didn't bring a sword. In a hurry, I had no time to go back to my room to get weapons, so I had to rely on the sound of east and west to attack. Just seeing that the thief had noticed it, he simply let go of his voice and shouted.
Whenever people come to do secret things, they are always afraid of being known. Zhao Xin roars like this in the middle of the night, and those servants will definitely be woken up. In addition, you can warn your father so that he can escape.
Zhao Xin attached it, crossed his hands and grasped the assassin's arm tightly, bent his knees to cover his foot, and wanted to take down the assassin with the close-fitting hand handed down by Wang Wei. Unexpectedly, the assassin suddenly shrank all over, and his hands became slippery and came out of Zhao Xin's hand. His hands became hooks, and his backhand attacked Zhao Xin's throat, and his movements were extremely fierce.
Zhao Xin narrowly dodged this fatal blow and made an oncoming attack without flinching. The man dodged first, but his mouth was "hey" all over, and his tone seemed to be very surprised.
Zhao Xin didn't have time to think too much. He just took the opportunity to attack. The two fought fast and accepted more than 20 moves in a blink of an eye, but they still couldn't tell the winner. The man was equipped with a long sword at his waist, but Zhao Xin was bare-handed, so he could only wrap it tightly and not let him have a chance to draw his sword.
The sound of the two fighting shocked the people of the Zhao family. Several servants came to check with torches. Seeing that the young master was fighting with a masked assassin, he suddenly shouted loudly. Soon the whole Zhao family made a noise, and the servants surrounded them with sticks.
Zhao Jian, who was woken up, also came out in his clothes. While ordering his servants to go to the city guard gate, he looked at his son with an anxious face, for fear that he would make a mistake. When I saw that Zhao Xin's fight with the man was fierce, but he did not fall behind, he was a little relieved.
When the assassin saw that the matter had been exposed, he did not want to stay and wanted to get out, but Zhao Xin saw through his mind and fought more closely, not giving him a chance to get out.
"Who are you, what is your feud with me, and why are you assassinated?" Zhao Zhao hid behind the servants and shouted angrily.
The assassin did not answer, but just focused on talking with Zhao Xin. Suddenly, he staggered under his feet and leaned back. How could Zhao Xin let go of this opportunity? His hands went straight into the door like a snake. The assassin did not dodge, and then raised his backhand and waved in the direction of Zhao.
When Zhao Xin saw that he raised his hand back, he immediately realized it. He twisted his body with his feet on the ground, stopped in front of Zhao's jaw, and shouted, "Beware of hidden weapons."
At the same time, he wanted to avoid the hidden weapon, but he didn't see any foreign matter in front of him. Only then did he understand that he was deceived.
At this time, the scream sounded, and the assassin had jumped high, stepped on the shoulders of his subordinates and jumped to the roof. At the same time, he put his sword out of its sheath and looked down at the people under him coldly. Zhao's confidence knew that it was difficult to catch up, so he simply stopped chasing. He just grabbed a sword from the servant and stopped in front of his father.
The assassin took a look at Zhao Jian, and his eyes were somewhat reluctant, but he also knew that things should not be done. His eyes fell on Zhao Xin's face under him. He saw his appearance clearly by the firelight, but he was stunned and blurted out, "It's you."
Zhao Xin was immediately alert. Listening to his tone, he seemed to know himself, but his voice was hoarse. Obviously, he deliberately pretended not to be recognized and covered his face. He couldn't see his appearance, but vaguely judged that he was a young man by his figure.
Zhao Xin stared and asked, "Do you know me?"
The man laughed and said, "I don't know, but you owe me half your life, but today you will take revenge. Very good, very good. I wrote it down this holiday. Zhao Xin, right? I will definitely compete with you again when I am free. Let's see if your teacher is better or my teacher is better.
After saying that, he took a deep look at Zhao Xin, turned around and jumped from the roof quickly, climbed over the wall of Zhao's house, and disappeared into the darkness like a cloud swallow.
"Don't chase it." Zhao Xin stretched out his hand to stop the servants who were about to chase, knowing that even if they caught up, it would be useless and would only die in vain.
"Go and tell the city guard and ask them to send someone to search and catch the assassin." After all, such a big thing happened. The inside history was assassinated at home. The city guard house, which is responsible for patrolling the city in Handan, is absolutely not to absolve itself. It is also reasonable for them to search the whole city.
"No."
"Xin'er, I'm hurt." Zhao Jian began to see Zhao Xin stop in front of him, and he didn't know if he was injured. He hurried to the front and asked with a hurry.
"I'm fine." Zhao Xin shook his head and turned back to the housekeeper and said, "Mr. Wang, take people to search all the corners of the house to prevent the assassins from attacking east and west."
"Yes." Uncle Wang was ordered to take the people away.
Seeing everyone leaving, Zhao Xin turned around and looked at Zhao jaw and said, "Father, I think this matter is a little strange."
"It's true." Zhao Jue muttered, "It was only agreed today that someone came to stab me in the evening. I ask myself that I am well-deserved, and no one will have to deal with me in this way. Do you suspect that you are the master...?"
"Never." Zhao Xin shook his head confidently.
"I also don't think it's likely." Zhao Ju thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "If the master wants to kill me, why bother?" Besides, even in terms of qualifications, it can't be ranked with me..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jian suddenly paused and looked at Zhao Xin suspiciously: "Is it An Yangjun?"
Immediately hesitated; "It's just that Anyang Jun hasn't arrived in Handan yet..."
"Anyangjun has arrived in Handan this morning." Zhao Xin interrupted his father and said with a calm face.
Zhao Ao was stunned and thought to himself that it would not be such a coincidence. An Yangjun just came forward, and he was assassinated today. After meditating for a long time, he looked at Zhao Xin and said, "So you suspect that An Yangjun did it?"
Zhao Xin nodded with an ugly face. Whether in terms of motivation or benefits after success, An Yangjun is the biggest suspect. Father, although you are not as important as your son and uncle, you are also the core figure of the Royal Party. It is very important to hold the power of Zhao's money and food. Moreover, you are low-key by nature, and the guarding of the house is like a waste, far less than that of Gong Zicheng and his uncle's house, so it is also the easiest to win.
When Zhao Xin said this, although his tone was plain, he was very angry. Although it's still a little uncertain, it is estimated that it will be eight or nine. Thinking that Zhao Zhang was still a brother with him in the morning, he looked extremely intimate. He turned around and wanted to put his father to death. Zhao Xin, who hated others to deceive him the most, couldn't help but hate him.
Zhao Aju added, "I heard the tone of that man's words. It seems that I have known you for a long time, but I'm not familiar with you, otherwise it's impossible not to know that you are my son."
Zhao Xin said with some distress; "But I have no impression of him." He lowered his head and thought about it again, but he still couldn't figure out why, so he had to shake his head and give up.
I heard Zhao jaw sneer and said, "If it's really what An Yangjun did, then An Yangjun is really brave and resourceless. Do you think I can make a big profit if I solve it?" If something happens to me, everyone will suspect him. If it is really found out that he did it, he will assassinate the third emperor, even if the master's father comes forward, he can't save him.
Zhao Xin said with a gloomy face, "Father, don't worry, I will go back to find out about this matter. If it is really what An Yangjun did in private, I will tell my father truthfully. I believe that the master is wise and will never let him mess around.
Zhao Jian looked at his son worriedly, "Well, you should pay attention to your own moderation. The position you are in now is unusual. Don't be angry."
"Father, don't worry, I know what I will do." Zhao Xin bowed and saluted.
"It's late at night. Father, let's go back to the house and rest first."
The assassin in black then walked through the streets and alleys for a long time at night, and waited for half a night in a remote corner. After making sure that there was no chase, he changed his night clothes and took off his mask, but he was a thin man in his twenties and thirties.
He changed into an ordinary cloth, made sure that there was no one left or right, and then swaggered out. When he came to a big house in the south of the city, the assassin took a breath and found a low place to climb over the high wall and turned into the hospital.
This house covers a very large area. The front and backyard are several miles apart. There are also many ponds in the yard, scattered with several unique water pavilions. The assassin looked extremely familiar, so he came to a platform and climbed up and jumped through the window.
A young girl was staring at the starry sky outside the window. She didn't panic when she saw someone coming in. She just frowned and said unhappily, "Can't you walk the ladder?"
The young man said with a smile on his face; "The young master is stealing jade and stealing incense, so he has to steal jade and incense. How can he walk the stairs openly? If you want to know that I'm a thief, not a robber, it's the robber who swaggers and rush in, but I can turn over the window with oil on the soles of my feet.
The moonlight is printed on the girl's beautiful cheek, which is exactly Xu Yao. She was not angry when she saw that the man was full of nonsense. She seemed to be used to it, but asked lightly, "How's it going?"
The man picked up the teapot on the table, looked up to the sky and took a few mouthfuls. Then he put down the teapot and spread it out his hand and said, "I've encountered a hard stubble, and it's done."
"What?" Xu Yao raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Then you are still so calm."
"Wei Hao, what on earth are you thinking!"
"How about that?" Wei arrogant shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Is it possible that I still need to beg for mercy in front of you with a plain face."
Immediately, he showed a bad smile and said, " Besides, it's also very interesting to occasionally see Miss Xu lose your temper."
