Chapter 410 The Assassin's Hope
After all, Cui Mansion is not an ordinary family. Even in normal times, servants cannot carry swords and medicinal materials whose origin and purpose are unclear. Before the emperor came in person, a thorough search was carried out. After checking it again, not even a needle is allowed to be placed at will.
Assassin Jane has no weapons and no poison.
She stood up with a smile on her face, looked lovingly at the child she had just been nursing for less than three days, and picked up a wooden sword beside her. It was a toy, no more than two feet long. No lethality.
She walked towards Trager, and at the same time she was approaching the emperor beside the child, as if she just wanted to hand over the wooden sword. The four-year-old Trager was talking to the emperor about how to suppress the bandits, and he really needed this sword to show his identity.
Han Ruzi had long heard that this was something that Trager had memorized. If it was replaced by an adult, it was a disgusting fraudulent act. It happened to children, but it was just ridiculous and a little surprising. The clichés are quite complicated, and Cui Teng may not be able to remember every word, but Cui Teng can speak very methodically, as if he really understands the meaning.
"...Usually to suppress bandits, officers advance and bandits retreat, and when officers and soldiers withdraw, the bandits return to their original places. Why is this? Officers and soldiers often fight bandits with great fanfare, for fear that the world will not know. Soldiers are tricky. Being rigid and promoting it in advance gave the bandits time to prepare..."
Han Ruzi was really persuaded, and planned to ask Cui Teng after the incident, who was invited to prepare this plan to suppress bandits.
Now he won't break it, instead he smiles and nods, expressing his appreciation, and for some reason, he suddenly turns his head and sees the wet nurse a few steps away.
The emperor was the first to recognize the assassin. This was not a very clear idea, but an intuition. Without any reason, he suddenly felt that the woman who came within ten steps of him was acting unnaturally and looked at the child. Out of the corner of the eye, he seemed to glance at himself. This was extremely impolite and should not have happened to the servants of the Cui Mansion.
The first to react was not the emperor.
Not to mention Cui Teng, he also saw the wet nurse, he didn't care, he waved his hand and motioned her not to come over now, but Ah Zhen continued to take the next step as if he hadn't seen it.
It wasn't Zhang Youcai either. His eyes were only on the emperor, and he didn't notice the abnormality of the nurse at all.
The first person to react was the only bodyguard in the room.
This guard is not the strongest. There are two reasons for him to follow the emperor. One is that he has a clean background. He has practiced martial arts in the military since childhood, and was selected as a guard when he grows up. , The second is good at boxing and kung fu, no need to carry weapons, standing beside the emperor is not so dazzling.
He recognized the assassin a little later than the emperor, but for a clear reason: the way the nurse held the sword and the pace of her walking showed that she had practiced martial arts.
Regrettably, the guard did not act immediately, but hesitated for a while, thinking that this was another trick done by Second Young Master Cui.
In such an instant, the wet nurse took another step and was close enough to the emperor.
The guards fit and pounced, not the assassin, but the emperor. This is the guard's duty. When the most dangerous, he must escort him.
For this assassination, Yun Mengze sacrificed dozens of good players. Ah Zhen didn't want to fail, couldn't fail, didn't dare to fail, she still had a smile on her face, but she used all her strength for this sword in her hand, and the wooden sword had no edge. , can only be compensated by strength.
The guard had the sword in his face, but instead of avoiding it, he stretched out his hands to hold the sword tightly, and opened his mouth to shout "Help me!" Ah Zhen shot out another palm, hitting the guard's forehead. The guard tilted his head and stepped back a few steps. Falling to the ground, the wooden sword left his chest, and blood gurgled out.
Cui Teng and Cui Ge's uncle and nephew were completely stunned, unable to understand the scene in front of them, how the gentle and amiable wet nurse suddenly changed her appearance, and she was able to kill with a wooden sword!
Han Ruzi had never studied martial arts seriously. In a critical moment, his reaction was not much different from that of ordinary people. He raised his right arm in front of him and stepped back.
Azhen stabbed with a sword, Han Ruzi stepped aside, not because he was more flexible than the guards, but because he didn't have to protect others, he didn't need to meet the wooden sword, because the guards blocked the distance between him and the assassin. A little further.
Jane chased after him, with Trager in the middle, she avoided it subconsciously, and stabbed the emperor again.
If it weren't for the bloodstains on the wooden sword, it would look like they were chasing and playing around with children.
The room was surprisingly quiet, no one made a sound, and even dared not breathe, as if falling into the water, and could only watch the two people circle in circles.
At this time, someone needs to shout "help" most and call the guards outside, but the only person who can do this has fallen to the ground, and the rest, including the emperor himself, have forgotten that they can still shout .
"Ah—" Zhang Youcai was the first to shout. He had imagined countless times how he would sacrifice himself to save the emperor if he was in danger. At this moment, he realized that his body would not obey his orders, as if he was being Layers of layers were pressed down, unable to turn over, and it was difficult to even breathe.
But he finally got rid of the restraint and fit into the assassin.
Azhen was fully focused, and with just one step, she knew that with just one step, she would be able to kill the emperor and complete the task that she had carefully prepared for months.
She didn't even look at the person who was rushing, she slapped it with a palm, and the eunuch flew out and fell.
But she was too "attentive" and circled around Trager, treating the child as an insurmountable obstacle that could not be pushed away. She took care of the child for a short time, and she had no feelings, just because she didn't do it at the first moment, and then she forgot about it. There are other options.
Zhang Youcai's attack failed to stop the assassin, but it had some effect, breaking the drowning silence in the room.
"Thorn, Assassin!" Cui Teng shouted hoarsely, shouting loudly, and pounced on it. Contrary to Zhang Youcai's choice, the one who pounced on was not the assassin, but the emperor.
He didn't notice the little nephew, he passed by Trager, and brought the child down, but he didn't pounce on the agile emperor, and fell to the ground.
Trager, who was sitting on the ground, burst into tears.
Ah Zhen finally came to her senses, she didn't need to go around in circles at all, she could rush directly to the emperor.
Han Ruzi also understood that he had no way to escape, and he couldn't escape the assassin, so he could only take a hard attack.
Facing the master's sword, Han Ruzi had no way of evading it. He only felt a sharp pain in his chest, but he didn't fall down immediately. He threw a punch and hit the assassin in the cheek.
Ah Zhen returned a palm, and before the fist hit her, she knocked the emperor back step by step.
This palm failed to kill the emperor, or even knocked him down. Azhen suddenly remembered that Zhang Qinyan had reminded herself that the emperor had probably been cultivating the internal skills of the righteous island. After taking a look at the wooden sword in his hand, he realized that the sword head had been The damage, which was originally blunt, was almost flat at this time.
She threw away the blood-stained wooden sword, and even with her bare hands, she was sure to kill the emperor.
She jumped up, concentrating the months of lurking, the sacrifice of dozens of good players, and the future of Yunmengze's group of thieves on this jump, and she could crack the emperor's skull with one touch.
She jumped up, but couldn't be free.
Cui Teng, who was tripped by his nephew and missed the emperor, rolled around on the ground and saw the feet in front of him. Shout out: "Assassin!"
Even at this time, Azhen still had a smile on her face, but she could no longer remain calm, the opportunity was fleeting, there were many guards outside, and a few more people came in. She is by no means an opponent, she has already delayed Once the fighter plane is over, it cannot be delayed any longer.
If you can't delay time, you have to drag people. Ah Zhen struggled to take a step forward. Cui Teng, a big man, could not drag her with all his strength.
The room was not big, and Jane took another step to reach the emperor, and the last smile on her face disappeared. She had killed people and made all preparations, but assassinating the emperor was still more difficult than she expected. I don't understand, the emperor is also a human being, and he is also flesh and blood. Why did he feel nervous before? Why be tangled up in a child?
Now she will not make mistakes again. The emperor she sees is just a pale young man, no taller and stronger than ordinary people, and it is not comparable to those martial arts masters who have studied and practiced hard for many years.
She stretched out her arms, ignoring the emperor's clumsy obstruction, strangled her neck, and exerted force with both hands.
Ah Zhen had a pain in her leg, probably bitten by Cui Er, she didn't care, she continued to exert force, watching the pale face turn red sharply.
Then there was a pain in the side of the waist. This was a fatal injury. Ah Zhen felt that her strength was quickly disappearing, but she refused to let go and insisted on gritting her teeth.
The third pain came from the neck and was the shortest. Ah Zhen's eyes were blurred, and she couldn't tell whether she was pushing hard or letting go. She could only concentrate on the last bit of energy, staring at the emperor's eyes, hoping to see the signs of death, hope All efforts have not been in vain, I hope to be worthy of the entrustment of many people in the rivers and lakes, I hope...
Meng E stepped out of the window from the upstairs. After landing, she sprinted and ran to the place where the emperor and others were. The guards and entourage who were waiting at the door were startled. superior.
The distance is not very far, but Meng E did not recognize the way, and after looking for a while, she saw the team of eunuchs, palace maids and guards.
"The assassin is by your Majesty's side!" Meng E shouted.
Wang He turned to look at Meng E, his first reaction was to be alert, and then he pulled out the knife, thinking that the palace maid finally revealed her true colors, he was one of the very few guards who could carry a knife.
At this moment, there was an ah sound from the room, followed by two "assassin" shouts, which were so sharp and deformed that it was impossible to tell who they came from.
The people in the room felt that everything was as slow as swimming underwater. For the people outside, it was only a momentary thing. Wang He was the first to rush into the room, Meng E followed closely, followed by a large group of guards. .
The assassin was killed and the emperor fell softly. Meng E took the lead and hugged him.
Everyone's heart sank, and it was almost noon, but they felt that it was dark.
