A dead man values righteousness over life and is always ready to die.
These people are not afraid of death, but regard death as a kind of glory.
Most of them have received favors from their masters. For example, when they were hungry and cold, the master brought them a bowl of chicken soup. For example, when someone looks down on you, the host will offer you chicken soup for the soul.
No matter what, give your life for a bowl of chicken soup. Such people are a bit naive.
There are many such naive people under Zhao Gao. Because he is a cunning person, a cunning person who can always pretend to be sincere and deceive naive people.
They also don’t think about it, if the other party really treats you sincerely and treats you as a good friend, would he be willing to let you die?
Zhao Cheng chose ten people. Divide into two teams, one team is responsible for entangling Li Xin, and the other team is responsible for killing Ma Lingshu.
As for the Sophora japonica and the millet, it’s better not to kill them if you can. This person has too many connections. He really wants to be killed, which will cut off the emperor's desire for immortality. If the emperor is angry, the consequences will be immeasurable.
The dead soldiers drank a cup of Zhuangxing wine and set off while it was dark. They left the city at night without disturbing anyone.
At the same time, Li Xin was also busy in Shangjun Courtyard.
He locked Ma Lingshu in a small courtyard and ordered two young craftsmen to guard the door.
However, Li Shui rejected this plan because he believed that the assassins might harm the craftsmen standing guard.
After all, Li Shui came from modern society and still valued human life. So he put up two scarecrows and replaced the craftsmen.
The scarecrow was wearing human clothes and a human hat, so no one could tell in the dark.
Li Xin was really impressed that he actually used a scarecrow to guard such an important prisoner. Li Shui was probably the only one in the world who could do this.
But...he didn't really expect to rely on the craftsmen to guard the gate anyway. What really matters is the arrangement behind it.
Li Xin found some stones, sharpened them and placed them on the wall.
In the yard, many sharpened bamboos were inserted. There is only a crooked path left in the middle. If you don't carry a lantern, you will definitely get caught.
Not to mention this, another big hole was dug at the door of the house, and lime was sprinkled in the big hole.
In addition, red threads are tied to the doors and windows, and bells are tied to the red threads. As long as someone breaks in, Li Xin, who is ambushing nearby, will hear strange noises.
Li Shui was amazed when he saw it, and said to Li Xin, "What a wonderful idea and well-organized arrangement. Brother Li, how did you come up with this idea?"
Li Xin laughed and said, "Soldiers are crafty. Isn't this simple?"
He was embarrassed to say that he saw him last time in Chunyu Yue's mansion. After all, that time was so embarrassing. I pricked my hand, pricked my foot, almost fell into a pit, and was kicked out.
After Li Xin made the arrangements, he and Li Shui hid in a nearby hut.
As for Ma Lingshu, he was tied up in the big room, his mouth was gagged, and he was in a daze in the dark with a nervous look on his face.
In fact, Li Xin originally wanted to make an empty city strategy and tie Ma Lingshu to another place, which would be much safer.
But Li Shui firmly rejected it. He patted Ma Lingshu on the shoulder and said, "I envy you. You can watch this wonderful show immersively. But we can only watch from the other side."
If he hadn't been gagged, Ma Lingshu would have cursed loudly.
Late at night. The dead soldiers sent by Zhao Gao have arrived outside Shangjun's courtyard.
Wearing night clothes and as light as swallows, they entered Shang Jun's courtyard with ease.
These people are very experienced and carry rice balls with them. Before the watchdog of Shangjun Courtyard could bark, his attention was attracted by the rice balls and he didn't even bother to speak.
After the dead soldiers quietly walked around here, they quickly turned their attention to the small courtyard where Ma Lingshu was imprisoned.
Only this small courtyard has people standing guard.
"Dead ghost, what should we do?" an assassin asked.
In order to conceal their identities, these dead warriors gave themselves nicknames, each of which started with death.
The leader's nickname is Dead Ghost.
The dead ghost glanced at the man and whispered, "Wait a minute, wait until the people on guard relax, and then we can sneak in. Otherwise, if they notice it and start shouting, we will miss the big deal."
So the group of dead men began to wait.
The wait lasted two hours.
According to their experience, the people standing guard will be tired after two hours. Even if you are not tired, you should still walk around, stretch your hands and feet, and talk a little, right?
But these two people standing guard are really amazing. He stood straight and motionless. And they never talk to each other. Even a veteran in the military can't do this, right?
Is there such a capable person in Shangjun Courtyard? This locust millet is really amazing.
An assassin named Dead Water came close to Dead Ghost's ear and whispered, "If you wait any longer, it will be dawn."
The dead ghost was a little hesitant, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't make any noise, climb the wall and get in."
The dead soldiers all nodded.
So they hid in the darkness and carefully walked to the top of the wall.
Dead Water squatted down, Dead Ghost stepped on his back, jumped slightly, and reached out to put a hand on the courtyard wall. Then, there was a sharp pain, and his palm was pricked by a sharp stone.
The dead ghost rolled his eyes in pain and managed to hold back from screaming.
He wanted to warn the people behind him, but after thinking about it, he realized that this place was too close to the people standing guard, so it was better not to alert the enemy.
So he climbed up silently. Jumped lightly into the yard.
As soon as he landed, his feet felt a sharp pain, and the sharp bamboo directly pierced the soles of his feet. The dead ghost groaned in pain, swayed, and sat down on the ground. The result was another sharp pain in my butt.
He held back. He covered his mouth tightly and stood up slowly, letting large beads of sweat fall down.
The dead water behind him encountered the same thing and made the same choice as the dead ghost.
The dead body behind the stagnant water, when it jumped down, was not noticed for a moment and suffered a disaster. He opened his mouth, wanting to cry out in pain. The dead ghost made a quick decision and cut off his neck with a dagger.
A big head fell down and was caught by the dead ghost's hand. Not a sound was made.
So decisive and admirable.
As for the dead bodies, they were thrown on the ground and used as stepping stones for those who came after them. Thanks to this corpse, the people behind were not stabbed.
At the same time, in a hut not far away, Li Shui asked Li Xin, "Have the assassins arrived?"
Li Xin pointed to the bell not far away and said, "Not yet. If they arrive, the bell will ring."
Li Shui said, "Is this red thread tied near the door? I'm afraid that if the bell rings, we won't be able to rescue him."
Li Xin said, "Don't worry, they are just fooling around. Even if they want to kill people, they still have to find where the person is."
Li Shui nodded and served himself another bowl of dumplings.
…………
At this time, another group of people appeared outside Shangjun's courtyard.
This group of people also wore black clothes and looked mysterious.
To keep their identities secret, they also have nicknames. The leader is nicknamed the Underworld.
The gangster asked the black market behind him, "Are you sure the woman is inside?"
Black Market said, "I have found out clearly. This Huaiguzi was originally a down-and-out alchemist from the Chu region, with only a little knowledge of medical skills."
"But suddenly, he seemed to be a different person, acting unexpectedly. First he made fairy wine, and then he made steamed buns. A few days ago, he used some convex lens to make fire in the court. All kinds of weird things. The things are eye-opening. I think that only that woman in the world can do these things."
"So I conclude that the woman must be hiding here in Huaiguzi. Those fairy wines, steamed buns, and convex lenses were all made by that woman. Then Huaiguzi took them out and exchanged them for high-ranking officials and generous salaries."
The gangster nodded with deep approval, "That's right. He uses his skills to charm his master and his cleverness to seduce people's hearts. This is exactly the style of this generation. This time, go in, get your things, and leave immediately. Don't linger."
Black Market asked, "What should I do with the woman?"
The gangster pondered for a while and said, "Kill her. Keeping her and shaking people's hearts will be a disaster after all."
The people behind them all nodded slightly, with determination on their faces, without the slightest hint of sympathy.
Black Market suddenly asked, "What if an innocent person discovers us?"
The gangster said, "I won't kill innocent people, but if you dare to stop us, you won't care so much."
After discussing it, the gangsters and others also slipped into Shang Jun's courtyard.
The watchdog was very happy. He just ate rice balls, but this time he ate meat directly.
A quarter of an hour later, the gangsters and others also found the courtyard where Ma Lingshu was.
They are not as patient as those dead soldiers. These people took out exquisite ngnu and fired a few arrows at the two scarecrows, and the scarecrows were shot down.
Later, the underworld led people into the yard.
At that time, the dead ghost was groping in the yard. They first encountered stones that pricked their hands, and then bamboos that pricked their feet. I'm already a little scared of this place.
So every time they took a step forward, they had to use their knives to probe to avoid getting caught. In this way, the speed will be greatly slowed down.
But this was effective, and they soon discovered the big pit in front of the door.
The dead ghost breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Huaiguzi is really insidious. If you fall in, how can you climb up in a short while?"
Just when I thought of this, I heard footsteps coming from behind.
Anyone who is a thief has a guilty conscience, and that group of dead soldiers keep their ears straight when they work. The sound of footsteps behind them suddenly caught their attention.
They stood up immediately and looked back sharply.
There are also ten people on the other side. Twenty pairs of eyes stared at each other for several seconds.
The dead ghost and the underworld exclaimed at the same time, "There is an ambush."
Afterwards, the two groups started fighting quickly.
The dead men separated into five people and entangled each other. The remaining five people bypassed the big pit and rushed towards the room, killing Ma Lingshu first.
When the gangsters saw this posture, they thought that the five dead men were going to move the woman they were looking for, so they suddenly became anxious and rushed towards the room. And they quickly formed a group at the door of the room.
In the dark, two groups of people were fighting recklessly in the yard, the bamboos under their feet pricking their feet mercilessly.
While these people worked hard, they stepped out lotus flowers.
Really, very perseverant. Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network" and you will find this site as soon as possible.
