It was already the middle of the night, and the wind in the courtyard was biting. The window of the study room was rattled by the cold wind. Lu Zuo's mood was also disturbed and he could not rest at ease. He had a premonition that Prince Liu Yan would definitely have a baby tomorrow. It’s a new move, but who will they attack first this time? There is also his younger brother Lu Renxiang. What is the reason why he is so different from before? And what is the background of his wife He? As well as King Ning and his son Liu Xingzhi, are they wise masters or faint kings? And Yin Ji... Hey... Lu Zuo sighed again when he thought of this. The recent situation seemed to be getting more and more unclear. Yin Ji's departure and his brother's sudden change caught Lu Zuo off guard.
Suddenly, another strange sound came to his ears. Lu Zuo glanced around instinctively. Apart from the flickering candlelight, there was nothing strange in the room. Lu Zuo continued to read at his desk, and his mind was still spinning thousands of times. Thinking.
Just when Lu Zuo was looking at it, there was a "swish" sound in his ear, as if something was flying towards him. Lu Zuo shouted, "It's not good." When he looked up, he saw a flying arrow coming from the roof towards his eyebrows. Come flying. Lu Zuo knew he couldn't dodge, but he only heard a "click" sound, and another dagger flew from the east direction, knocking the arrow aside. Lu Zuo was so frightened that he quickly took a step back, but unexpectedly fell to the ground with his chair. When he was about to raise his head to see the situation on the roof, he heard a messy footsteps on the roof, and suddenly, tiles and sawdust from the roof were scattered everywhere. Flying away, seven or eight men in black seemed to fall from the sky, broke through the roof, jumped off the roof in a daze, and stood in the hall. The men in black all held bright swords, and after cutting through the tiles and wooden blocks, several of them looked like tigers descending from the mountain, their eyes darting around for prey.
"Over there..." Suddenly one of the men in black pointed a knife at Lu Zuo behind the table in the main hall.
Lu Zuo's face turned pale with fear. He got up by the candlelight, grabbed the chair and threw it at the man in black who was speaking. The man in black easily dodged Lu Zuo's attack, and the few people moved forward with light steps, slowly encircling him.
Lu Zuo knew that he would not escape, so he straightened his clothes and asked, "Who sent you here?"
One of the men in black sneered and said: "Hmph... you only need today next year to be your memorial day!"
"Can you make Lu a sensible person?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Kill him quickly, we'll be in trouble soon when people come!"
Several people swarmed up, their blades flying in an instant, and they were about to chop Lu Zuo to death. Between the lightning and flint, there were a few "swish, swish, swish" sounds behind them, and three men in black fell down, leaving five. When a man in black turned his head to look, he saw three more daggers flying from outside the window lattice. The other three men in black also fell down in response. Their knife skills were extremely accurate, and they all hit several people in the head.
The remaining two people were caught off guard. After looking at each other, they looked at Lu Zuo and the door again. They were both hesitant about which side to deal with first. The two nodded to each other and divided their forces into two groups. One person mainly attacked Lu Zuo. One man ran towards the door brandishing a knife.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" There were two more sounds, and the other two men in black also fell to the ground.
Lu Zuo hurriedly took three or two steps to rush out the door, but he saw a black shadow flash past and disappeared.
"Who is the one?"
While Lu Zuo was thinking about it, Chen Tuizhi and Jing Jingruo also came one after another. An Jingruo asked anxiously about Lu Zuo's situation, and Lu Zuo calmly shook his head to indicate that it was okay. An Jingruo felt relieved. After carefully looking up, down, left, and right to make sure everything was fine, An Jingruo relaxed his brows. Looking at the study room, the roof was almost lifted. He asked about the situation. Lu Zuo shook his head helplessly and said that he didn't know where these people came from.
When Chen Tuizhi was about to ask again, a group of servants armed with fire and knives swarmed in from the yard. The leader was the housekeeper Lao Pan, "Master, are you okay..."
Chen Tuizhi pointed at these servants angrily and said: "The roof has been lifted off at this moment, why did you just show up now? If anything happens to my senior brother, can you afford it?"
Lao Pan and others stood at the foot of the steps. After being ridiculed by Chen Tui, they all lowered their heads. Lao Pan bowed and said: "It's the young man who didn't do his job well. Please punish me!"
Lu Zuoyi raised his hand, "I don't blame you. I think these people all have special skills and are not ordinary people."
Lao Pan walked up the steps, stood next to Lu Zuo and looked around and said, "I'm sure the master is not injured." After saying that, he looked back at the corpses strewn about the room and asked, "What are the origins of these people? Even the court wants to Dare you come to assassinate a member of the Communist Party of China’s official residence?”
Lu Zuo didn't say anything, and with his eyes motioned Chen Tuishang to go and observe the corpse.
Chen Tuizhi hurriedly ran to one of the corpses, then leaned down and took off the black veil of the corpse, then looked at the hands, waist, cuffs and other positions of the corpse, and then continued to look at the other several corpses. A corpse. After Chen Tuizhi completed his investigation, he returned to the door and came to Lu Zuo's side.
"How is it?" An Jingruo asked anxiously.
"Except for their clothes, they have no other items that can prove their identity. However, their jaws, palms, and calluses on the soles of their feet are very thick. According to my judgment, they may all be soldiers of the government."
Lu Zuo nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "It's just as I expected!"
"Master!" Old Pan Yi waved the knife in his hand angrily, "Then do you want to sue the officials? These people are too audacious."
"No need!" Lu Zuo said, "Old Pan, please send these corpses to the government. I'm afraid the governor of Jingzhao won't care about it. Just answer truthfully whatever they ask. If they can't find out, there's no need to If we pursue the case, you can just ask craftsmen to repair the roof tomorrow. Everyone, get down!"
Several servants looked at each other in confusion, and when they saw the housekeeper also agreed, they followed Lao Pan and walked out of the yard holding torches.
When An Jingruo saw that all the servants had left, she asked Lu Zuo, "Is that all? These people are obviously here for you. Who wants to get rid of you so much?"
"These people are most likely to be the prince's people!" Lu Zuo shook his head and sighed. What he was most concerned about at this moment was the person who could rescue him. Who could it be? Yin Ji? Lu Zuo hoped it was Yin Ji, but he didn't want it to be him. Yin Ji was a genius, with a flexible mind and agile skills. The most important thing was that he was calm and calm. Although he was a spy arranged by Marshal Zhou, he did not really betray him. I, but letting Yin Ji stay by my side will only put him in danger. The moment before driving him away, I also thought about forgiving him and letting Yin Ji continue to stay by my side, but if this matter let Prince Ning and the others knew that this would only put Yin Ji in more danger, and that they might also arouse Liu Xun's suspicion. The current revenge plan would soon be realized, and they could not make any mistakes at this time and drive Yin Ji away. It's also a good thing for him.
Chen Tuizhi saw that his elder brother's face was as dark as water, so he also sighed: "Hey! It would be great if Xiao Yin Ji was here!" After saying this, the three people present fell silent.
