The reason for Han Dongwen's boldness is simple.
The target of this assassin is not him, and he may not even know that he is Han Dongwen, the plague king.
Then, his target was Xiao Hongdou. It was obvious that he already knew that this maid might have eavesdropped on the conversation and ran towards her.
In other words, this lanky and violent assassin belongs to the Department of National Law!
The Justice Department only knew that this was a maid who overheard the secret content and wanted to keep it quiet. Presumably, arrangements had been made with the teahouse before Han Dongwen and the others arrived. As long as she dared to come back to redeem the jade token, there would be a chance to take her away. .
Little did she know that her master also came, it was Han Dongwen, and the nature changed.
Assassination of the emperor?
It was a heinous crime that would kill the nine clans, kill the whole family, and bring harm to the eighteen generations.
If Tantai Fu knew that the National Law Department was involved in this matter, he would definitely make a big fuss!
"Li...Zai..."
The weird assassin known as the "Human Puppet" let out a hoarse whisper from his throat. He took a step back, his eyes still fixed on Li Zai and Han Dongwen behind him.
Li Zai sighed lightly and shook his head.
Since Han Dongwen didn't want to hide his identity, he was even more happy and relaxed.
Holding the Poria thorn in one hand, Li Zai reached into his arms with the other hand, took out a gold-rimmed and black-backed sign, and held it in front of him with one hand.
"Assassinating the emperor in broad daylight, deceiving the emperor, treason, and treason, I shall use my official authority to kill the rebels and kill your nine clans to prove the way of heaven!"
He finished reciting it like a routine, closed his eyes slightly, and spoke louder: "Those who manipulate puppets and those who work with traitors are guilty of the same crime!"
A gust of wind suddenly erupted with Li Zai as the center. His robes danced violently, and the Poria thorns in his hands were held flat, emitting a burst of dazzling gold and green light.
Han Dongwen took a breath.
This is a "spell" in the game, a skill that can only be used outside the city. If it is not licensed, let alone in the imperial city of Siyang, as long as it is used in the city, it will be wanted and captured by the guards.
As for Lieutenant Xiu, in order to protect the emperor, the use of magic is naturally authorized by the imperial power!
The big one is coming!
The "human puppet" was like a trapped animal, roaring hoarsely on the spot. Seeing a burst of light around Li Zai, the "human puppet" suddenly seemed to be running away, turning around and running towards the depths of the corridor.
"run?!"
Li Zai waved his sleeves, and his whole figure seemed to become more erratic in an instant. He slowly lifted up in the air with his hands lowered.
The golden-green brilliance flashing and swirling around him suddenly shot forward, quickly chasing the "human puppet" who was fleeing.
As the light rushed, he transformed into a human form, like the second Li Zai condensed with magic power, and rushed into the depths of the corridor like an arrow.
The corner was turned, and the sound of swords clashing was heard.
Han Dongwen stood there, not understanding what was going on now. He could only stand there and watch Li Zai floating in the air remotely "controlling" the avatar of his flying out, secretly clenching his fists.
"ah!"
"save……"
Strangely, someone else's screams came from the corner.
It's not Li Zai, and judging by his voice, he definitely isn't that "human puppet".
What Han Dongwen couldn't see was that the puppet was already wielding a long knife and rushing towards a group of helpless teahouse waiters without looking back.
Like a mad dog, like a devil!
The human puppet roared and rushed towards the waiters one after another, the long knife in his hand already stained with blood.
Li Zai's Huaguang incarnation chased after the puppet, stepped on the center of the puppet's back, grabbed the puppet's right hand holding the sword with his left hand, kicked his leg, and a sword light with the power of the storm flashed through his right hand. , actually chopped off the puppet's arm.
But the puppet with a broken arm seemed to be unconscious and still rushed towards the next target.
He wants to silence him!
The light burst out, and Li Zai's incarnation rushed forward. The sword in his hand was shining brightly, and he almost cut off the puppet's legs at the fastest speed.
Human puppets are already like monsters.
"ah!!!"
The last waiter in the teahouse had collapsed to the ground with fear, his hands and feet numb.
In the blink of an eye, the man with only one arm raised his hand and slapped the floor, pushed his body towards the guy with counter force, then lifted his helmet in the air and opened his mouth. Bite the guy on the neck!
Blood flowed profusely.
Like a centipede, dead but not stiff.
Li Zai's incarnation slowed down a step, and when he penetrated the puppet with the sword light in his hand, the last man seemed to have died.
——————
After a while, the strong wind beside Han Dongwen and Li Zai stopped. He gently fell back to the floor and dusted his sleeves.
The brilliance flowing around him dimmed and dissipated in an instant.
"Did...done?"
Staying where he was, Han Dongwen couldn't see what was happening deep in the corridor, so he could only ask him this.
Li Zai nodded: "Tsk, it's still a step too slow."
"Did you let someone run away?" Han Dongwen asked confused.
After listening to Han Dongwen's words, Li Zai narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness, that's not the case. It's just that this puppet is difficult to stop. In the end, I still couldn't stop him from killing people."
"Kill and silence..."
Han Dongwen muttered, plucked up the courage, swallowed, and walked towards the corner of the corridor that had quieted down.
The tall and thin body of the "Human Puppet" has been lying motionless on the wooden floor. His limbs have been bent and cut off, like a shabby puppet made of bamboo joints, and the clothes on his body have been through the rain of swords and lights. As ragged as the storm.
However, next to this man's corpse, many people wearing teahouse gowns were lying dead.
Clean, fast, all kill in one hit.
They were all stab wounds, very deep.
The last torso of the human puppet was still pressing down on a teahouse waiter, and its teeth had bitten into the waiter's throat, like a hound and a hungry wolf.
It turned out that from the moment Li Zailiang revealed his identity, this puppet had already decided to liquidate all the teahouse waiters who had been dealt with in advance.
"ah!"
Little Hongdou, who followed Han Dongwen and touched it, had never seen such a scene before. She immediately covered her mouth and turned around, not daring to look again.
Han Dongwen nodded to Li Zai with a solemn expression, raised his hand and patted Xiao Hongdou's shoulder gently.
"Don't be afraid. Take a look first to see if the guy who collected your money is here."
Xiao Hongdou closed her eyes tightly and shook her head slightly.
Han Dongwen pondered for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her palm.
"I know you are afraid, but the jade token your father gave you must be in the hands of these people, and..."
He paused, but after all he didn't say the second half of the sentence in front of Li Zai.
If all these people have been silenced, then only the National Law Department and himself will know about Xiao Hongdou's eavesdropping.
It would be best if the National Military Division were kept in the dark for the time being.
As a lieutenant of the National Defense Department, Li Zai was naturally subordinate to Tantai Fu. If the National Defense Department found out, I'm afraid there would be a lot more pressure on the National Law Department.
Now that the National Legal Affairs Bureau knew his identity, he turned around and decisively gave up the action and silenced him. Han Dongwen judged that the National Legal Affairs Bureau did not have any murderous intentions towards him.
In this case, it would be better for the Second National French Army to be more balanced.
Xiao Hongdou still closed her eyes tightly and her body was shaking.
Han Dongwen sighed and said softly:
"I order you to open your eyes."
