It stands to reason that even if there is something wrong with the ordnance, He Shun can just bring the model. There is no need to bother Ji Ping to go to Wuwei Mansion.
But the latter was obsessed with ordnance, and especially attached great importance to the things he built. When he heard that there was a problem, he wanted to check it out, so he didn't overthink it.
As for He Shun, he had long been stared at by people from the Duwei camp, and his every move was quickly reported to Liang Yuan.
After listening to the report, Liang Yuan frowned and couldn't help but said: "Ordnance Department? He Shun is fine. Why are you going there? Do they want to attack Lord Ji Pingji?"
"It's very possible." Qi Ying said: "It seems that we all guessed wrong before. Mr. Ji is the key. He has improved the Qin crossbow many times and made our Qin army's archery formation unique in the world. If something happens to him, It’s conceivable.”
"What a bold thief!" Liang Yuan's face darkened: "In that case, they want He Shun to lure Master Ji out of the Ordnance Department and then intercept him halfway."
Qi Ying smiled and said: "Then let's make preparations in advance, fake it and catch them all in one go."
Liang Yuan instantly understood what he meant and immediately shouted: "Come here! Map of Qinzhou."
the other side.
He Shunye had passed on the time of Ji Ping's trip to the middle-aged man. After the latter confirmed it, he immediately left the alley and came to a bustling and lively market.
Not long after, some special symbols appeared on a corner of the wall. They were so miscellaneous that they looked like random graffiti by children and were not noticeable at all.
In fact, this is the secret code used by the connector to issue the assassination order to the assassin, and only they can understand it. The translation is:
Tomorrow morning, Ji, please ask your brothers to assassinate him.
They don't need to meet at all, they are well organized, and here, people come and go, and no one can tell which of the passing people is the assassin.
The assassin was planning an assassination operation, and the Duwei battalion was preparing an extermination plan. Both sides were doing it secretly, and the next day soon came.
In the morning, at He Shun's invitation, Ji Ping, dressed in official uniform, came out of the Ordnance Department and got into a carriage.
The coachman shook the reins lightly and drove off slowly.
From here to Wuwei Mansion, you need to pass through several streets. If you want to assassinate the people in this carriage, the best place to start is Dongyuankou.
Because the streets there are relatively narrow, there are many commanding heights, which are convenient for observing the overall situation, and there are many intersections, making it easy to evacuate after the assassination.
After careful study and consideration, the Duwei Battalion ambush their heavy troops here.
There were still a lot of pedestrians on the streets in the morning, which made Liang Yuan, who was hiding in the dark, frown and whispered: "There are too many people. If the assassins attack here, they will inevitably hurt innocent people. We will intercept them in advance." kill."
"Are you allowed to survive?" a squad leader asked.
"Depending on the situation, stay as long as possible."
"clear!"
The arrangements here have already been made, and perhaps the assassins never thought that they were on the second floor of the restaurant, a commanding position, and that the waiters and other people in the building were all members of the Imperial Guard Battalion.
After a while, Ji Ping's carriage drove into the street, neither too fast nor too slow.
A window seat on the second floor of a restaurant.
When they saw the carriage, the two men immediately looked at each other and reached out their hands under the table almost at the same time.
But as soon as they touched the crossbow hidden under the table, before they could pick it up, they felt a chill on their necks. At some point, two knives came from behind and were quietly placed on the necks of the two men. at.
"Don't move, or you'll die." A low voice came from behind.
The two assassins lowered their eyes and caught a glimpse of the cold blade. They dared not move rashly. They slowly released their crossbows and stood up slowly.
"Catch him!"
This situation occurs in several places, mostly by the window on the second floor.
At the same time, with a bang, a table and chair hit the carriage, and four young men appeared in unison, lining up and blocking the way.
Something unexpected happened, the crowd screamed, fled in all directions, and the streets were in chaos.
Four people, with a flick of their wrists and four swords, all attacked the carriage.
I thought that the driver who was driving the carriage would be so scared that he pissed his pants and ran away screaming. However, unexpectedly, the driver jumped up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
ah! ? The four assassins were shocked and subconsciously stopped. Before they could react, the carriage was torn apart. Wood chips were flying everywhere. Someone in official uniform drew his sword and the scabbard shot straight at him!
One of the assassins tilted his head sharply, and the scabbard passed by his ear, causing a sensation.
But he dodged, but the driver who jumped away had already dodged to his side, and came up with a sharp blow.
The assassin hurriedly blocked, retreating with the sound of weapons clashing.
In the flash of lightning, the man in official uniform did not retreat but advanced, facing the other three assassins, launching a fierce attack.
What kind of Ji Ping is this? It's Qi Ying pretending to be.
His swordsmanship was tricky and strange, as fast as lightning. Under the attack, the three assassins were forced to retreat continuously, only able to block, without any chance of fighting back.
"No! We've fallen into a trap! Get out!"
An assassin shouted, and while he was talking, someone was killed by the sword. When the other three saw this, their eyes showed fear, and they did not dare to stay any longer. They all attacked with swords, forced Qi Ying to retreat, turned around and ran away.
But here, a dragnet has been set up, and the guards and camp personnel are mostly experts from the martial arts world, all of whom have extraordinary skills. How can they escape.
Seeing him running away, Qi Ying had no intention of chasing him.
The three assassins who survived ran from three directions. Almost instantly, two of them were nailed by rope hooks and pulled to the ground.
The last person had better luck, but just as he ran around a street corner in a panic, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, standing with his hands behind his back, and said in a serious tone: "This road is blocked."
The person coming was none other than Liang Yuan.
When the assassin saw that there was an obstacle, in order to escape for his life, no matter who it was, he immediately roared and thrust his sword forward.
His skills are pretty good, and in a sudden attack, his sword edge is very fast, almost in the blink of an eye.
Liang Yuan did not move. He only tilted his head slightly to pass the edge of the sword. At the same time, he struck the assassin in the chest with a strange palm from his right hand.
Under the inner strength, the assassin flew out directly, fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the sharp sword had already fallen aside.
From the beginning to the end, Liang Yuan had his left hand behind his back and stood still, just this simple move.
You must know that his skills are very strong. In the martial arts world, he was one of the few first-class masters in the past.
After vomiting blood, the assassin struggled for a while and tried to get up, but felt weak. He made a decisive decision and reached into his arms to take out the pills and commit suicide.
How could Liang Yuan let him succeed? He didn't see any movement, only his shoulders swayed slightly, and the man jumped over, hitting his acupuncture points with two lightning fingers.
