"Um!"
Nodding his head calmly, Pei Wende quickly walked to the door before the little green snake noticed his little move.
Then something unexpected happened to Pei Wende. The door on the road in front of him was actually ajar. He just pushed it lightly and it was opened.
"Did something happen?"
Pei Wende instinctively looked along the crack in the door, but did not find anything unusual.
The singers and dancers in the courtyard were still singing and dancing, and various wonderful juggling performances attracted the attention of most people in the house.
Except that most of the people watching and cheering were tall and sturdy men, this was no different from the juggling performances in the streets outside.
However, the above is only from Pei Wende's perspective.
In addition to attracting those big and strong men, the performance in the mansion also immediately attracted the attention of the little green snake.
Especially the exotic belly dance in the middle and the performance of snake charmers playing flutes and fighting snakes made the little green snake suddenly forget his previous irritation.
On the contrary, Bui Wende, who came from the 21st century, did not show much surprise when he saw the belly dance and snake charmer performances.
On the contrary, Pei Wende only has one thought in his mind now - this juggling troupe is really good at playing?
The previous acrobatics of swallowing swords and breathing fire can still be regarded as "local performances" for the time being.
But the "professions" of snake charmers and belly dancers obviously did not belong to the "local performances" of the Tang Dynasty.
In this regard, Pei Wende could only lament that the Tang Dynasty was indeed worthy of being the most glorious country of this era. It was the pinnacle feudal dynasty known as "all nations came to dynasty".
Even though it has declined to the end of the dynasty, it still attracts the worship and admiration of countless outsiders.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Too lazy to think about why the door was open, Pei Wende crossed the corridor in three steps and two steps at a time, and quietly hid in the darkness before anyone noticed him.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
When Pei Wende opened the door and stepped into this mansion.
Li Gang, disguised as a servant, had reached the deepest part of the house.
Relying on his blindness and magical powers, everyone who noticed Li Gang's abnormality along the way was immobilized by his immobilization method.
It is precisely because of this that Li Gang's aboveboard "lurking" along the way did not alert anyone, and the performances and juggling in the front yard were still in full swing.
"Are you hiding here?"
After a moment, Li Gang, who was standing at the end of the mansion, looked in the direction of the main house. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the door and see what was going on inside.
call!
Strangely, when Li Gang was about to take a step forward, a gust of wind suddenly blew the door open.
The next second, an old man with white beard and hair slowly walked out of the door and stared at Li Gang not far away with an indescribable look.
"Are you the murderer who killed Chen Zhengdao?"
Li Gang frowned slightly as he didn't detect any evil spirit in the old man's body.
"Chen Zhengdao?"
The old man also frowned slightly, looking at Li Gang who had "I'm not easy to mess with" written all over his body, he couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you here to kill me?"
He was keenly aware that something was wrong, but Li Gang thought about it for a moment and said decisively.
"Whether I kill you or not depends on what you did."
Regardless of whether there was something fishy in between, Li Gang broke in here with the mentality of "kill first and tell later". He had already been mentally prepared to become an enemy of everyone in the house.
"What have you done?"
Hearing what Li Gang said, the old man in the city also clearly noticed that something was wrong.
But the matter has come to this, and he has no room to look back.
"It doesn't matter what I did. What matters is that you came here."
He was obviously a mortal, but when faced with Li Gang's strong aura, the old man's performance was not inferior at all.
"If I guessed correctly, you should be the newly appointed Ambassador Si Chen!"
It was obviously a question sentence, but the old man adopted an affirmative tone here.
That kind of determined performance was as if he had already seen Li Gang's identity and had been prepared to welcome him.
"But you were able to find out this so quickly, which is a bit beyond my expectation."
As soon as these words came out, Li Gang's pupils suddenly tightened.
The old man seemed to have mistaken "Chen Zhengdao" in Li Gang's mouth for the former envoy Si Chen, and then regarded his arrival as investigating the cause of death of the former envoy Si Chen.
Although it is unclear how the old man determined his identity, Li Gang, who has a superior mind, still maintains his composure on the surface.
Li Gang's intuition told him that he seemed to be involved in a well-designed trap and conspiracy.
"It's a pity that you came here alone, so you are destined to die here today!"
Hearing this, Li Gang, who had a premonition of crisis, instinctively took a step back.
Seriously!
In an instant, a powerful crossbow shot out of the darkness, just passing by Li Gang who was dodging to avoid it.
Bang!
Li Gang, who was horrified, looked around and saw a crossbow arrow that was half a man's height penetrated the courtyard wall and was inserted into the stone slab behind the wall.
Such an amazing crossbow arrow, even an elephant can pierce it with one arrow.
Thanks to Li Gang's timely dodge, otherwise he wouldn't have thought that he was stronger than an elephant.
The most important thing is that the old man who was well prepared arranged a large group of jugglers in the front yard, and the noise from the backyard was directly covered up by the noise in the front yard.
In other words, even if Li Gang had just been shot here, no one would have noticed his existence.
"Did you kill the former Envoy Si Chen?"
A flash of enlightenment flashed through his mind, and Li Gang deliberately lowered his voice and asked.
Because the crossbow prepared by the old man was obviously aimed at the practitioners, and the arrangement in the front yard was also to cover up the movement of shooting himself.
Such a skilled and experienced arrangement can only mean that he has done similar things before.
"This is not important. What is important is that you will die here today!"
Without any intention of answering Li Gang's question, the old man, who already knew that there was a misunderstanding, shouted desperately.
No matter what misunderstanding there is, as long as Li Gang's identity does not change, the old man's murderous intention will not be weakened in the slightest.
Killing one is killing, killing two is killing...
Ever since he killed his former envoy Si Chen, the old man had made up his mind and was ready to face everything.
"You can dodge one crossbow, can you dodge ten crossbows?!"
Li Gang, who was shocked inside, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the stern-faced old man in disbelief.
"Cross crossbow?"
"Are all the current governors and officials in Tanzhou just a bunch of bastards?!"
No wonder Li Gang was so incredible. The number of crossbows held by the old man was too exaggerated.
To use a metaphor that may not be appropriate, the concept of a crossbow in this era is approximately equivalent to a heavy machine gun in the 21st century.
Even among the Tang army, which was well-disciplined and well-equipped, it was still a killer weapon.
And for such a thing, there are actually private crosses among the people.
It is conceivable that once the central court discovers this situation, the best outcome for Tanzhou's governor is to be killed.
