Chapter 352: Each has allies
Zhao Yuan looked to the ground and saw a huge meteor hammer on the ground. The meteor hammer was full of spikes about inches long, and behind the meteor hammer was a beef tendon rope that was more than two feet long!
Zhao Yuan walked over, reached out and lifted it, weighing about 100 kilograms.
"I have never seen this weapon before, but it is not ordinary people who can dance such heavy weapons!"
Zhao Yuan said that when he passed by, he found that the carriage had been smashed into pieces, and the people inside were smashed into meat paste, which was enough to show how powerful the weapon was.
The leader of the Right Sect nodded and said, "The person sent to investigate came back and said that the assassin had escaped. He could easily avoid my investigation. It can be seen that the other party is not a mediocre person! So we are wondering, where will it be? The leader of the Left Sect or the High Priest?"
Zhao Yuan said: "It should be unlikely that the high priest. He just sent someone to say he would like to meet us, but the meeting location is up to him! Since he cooperated with us, he should not arrange a killer to come at this time. Moreover, he knew very well that killing you two would not benefit from other people except to increase the enemy!"
The leader of the Right Sect pondered and said, "So, it is very likely that this move will be the leader of the Left Sect. I didn't expect that his people had already sneaked into the capital! It seems that we should be careful!"
Zhao Yuan said in confusion: "But there were two groups of people who took action last night!"
The leader of the Right Sect said in surprise: "Two groups of people?"
Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, there are a group of people who use crossbow arrows, and another group of people who use meteor hammers. I think the purpose of the use of meteor hammers should actually be the carriage you and the second prince ride in. But the group of people who came out from there acted in advance, so the assassins who ambushed where they use meteor hammers had to launch an attack in advance and destroy the two carriages in front. Maybe he also wanted to try his luck!"
The leader of the Right Sect said: "In this way, our luck is not bad?"
Zhao Yuan said: "It can be said that!"
The leader of the right sect said, "But we don't have your guard?"
Zhao Yuan said: "From the power of which meteor hammer, we can indeed block it, but I always feel that it is impossible for the other party to have only one person, or according to their plan, they should send experts to entangle us, and then use the meteor hammer to kill you. However, when other attackers appeared, they did not take action, and the one who used the meteor hammer could not hold back, so he just took action rashly!"
The leader of the right sect frowned and said, "I have also come across the left sect leader before. This person is quite ambitious and has a very thorough thought of doing things! The arrangement is also very meticulous. It is indeed as if you said that he could not just send one person to come, and the plan must be very meticulous!"
Zhao Yuan said: "That's true. I guess the other group had arrived when they arrived. They had already discovered it, but they didn't dare to drive them away, for fear of alarming the snake. On the other hand, they probably hoped to complete the assassination with them and use it to cover them up. However, they never expected that the other party suddenly took action in advance, and their plan was destroyed, resulting in the wrong timing!"
The leader of the Right Sect agreed: "It is indeed possible, but who are the other group of people? Are there any other enemies besides those of the Left Sect?"
To be honest, now when he thinks about it carefully, he really can't think of why there are other enemies!
Zhao Yuan said: "We are also investigating this matter. In addition to you, Lord Lu was attacked and there were also attacks by the Fangshi. Maybe it was done by a group of people! If there is any news, I will inform the others as soon as possible. In addition, I don't know what you two think about the High Priest's proposal?"
The leader of the Right Sect said: "Yes, but this meeting is arranged the day after the decision of the location! The high priest is wary of us, and we have to be wary of him!"
Zhao Yuan said: "This is not a problem. When the person he sent to inform me, I will convey your meaning."
Zhao Yuan didn't think there was any problem with this. The high priest did not believe in the right leader and the second prince. Why didn't the right leader and the second prince also didn't believe in him?
…………
When the High Priest and others returned to the Foreign Affairs Hall safely, another group of people also returned to their hiding place.
"The assassination failed?"
After receiving the news, the old man was extremely shocked and disbelief and said, "Our arrangement is very meticulous, why did it fail?"
He was somewhat puzzled about this.
The leader of this group of people was a middle-aged man in his forties, named Xiao He, and heard this: "According to your plan to inform your subordinates and others, there will be no problems. However, when we arrived, a group of people were already ambushing the ambush roof at the first time. We did not know the origin of each other, so we did not dare to act rashly. Next, we learned from their conversation that their target was consistent with us, so we wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill the national teacher and the second prince while they attacked! This could also cover up our whereabouts!"
The old man nodded slightly and said, "It's okay to do this, but why did the plan fail?"
Xiao He said: "Because the group of people started to take action in advance, the national teacher and the second prince's carriage did not have time to step into our ambush circle."
Xiao and their plan was originally to wait for the Second Prince and the National Master's carriage to enter the predetermined ambush site, and their masters took action at the same time to restrain the masters who protected the National Master and the Second Prince and others, and then use a meteor hammer to kill them with one blow!
The old man said, "If you do this, you cannot take action, so as not to be noticed by them!"
Xiao He said: "I don't discipline myself properly, please punish me!"
The old man's face darkened and he said, "Who did you take action?"
While speaking, he looked at the burly man in the team and said, "Wuta, but have you taken action?"
Wuta is the one holding a meteor hammer. He is the tallest among the whole person, and his natural arm strength is amazing!
A hint of anger surged on the old man's face and said, "I have warned you many times, but I'm reckless and don't be greedy for merit. When have you heard of it? I've actually committed it again and again! If you don't punish you today, how can you convince the public? Come on, bring a knife!"]
After hearing this, one of his subordinates handed over the knife with both hands!
The old man picked up the knife, threw it at Wuta, and said, "You are the one who cut off your own arm, and I will do it for you?"
Xiao He and Wu Ta changed their faces when they heard this, and Wu Ta hurriedly said, "Elder, Wu Ta knows that he is wrong, please ask the elder to atone for his sins!"
Xiao He also hurriedly said, "Elder, it's time to use people now. Wuta is born with divine power. If his arm is cut off, he will be useless. It's better to... let him make meritorious service. If there is another crime, it's not too late to stay in Duan!"
The old man was also very confused at this moment, sighed and said, "Okay, I will remember this account here for you first. If there is another time, I will definitely not let you go! Even if the king of heaven pleads with me, I will not give you any face! Get out of here! Go and reflect on yourself!"
Wu Ta escaped the disaster and hurriedly left the house. The old man felt a little irritable at this moment. He walked back and forth in the house several times and said, "As soon as Wu Ta took action, our existence in the capital will be exposed. The second prince and the national teacher will definitely be more cautious. If you want to kill him, it may be a bit difficult. I have calculated it hard, but I forgot about Wu Ta's impulsive problem!"
Xiao He said: "Wuta is indeed a bit impulsive, but it is a rare combat power for us now. In addition, our subordinates think this is not a bad thing!"
The old man wondered: "It's not a bad thing? Where does this start?"
Xiao He said: "At least we know another thing. In this capital, there are still people who want the lives of the Second Prince and the National Master. And their subordinates think that the instructor behind this group of people is definitely not ordinary people! Their number is at least twenty, and they are at the level of ordinary soldiers. However, after the assassination failed, they can easily hide these people. This is the key point, and ordinary people cannot do it at all!"
Xiao and the few people have small goals and high skills. It is completely easy to escape from the pursuit of ordinary soldiers, but those are different at this moment. Their kung fu is not very good, and it is not easy to escape from the pursuit. But their escape only means that they have a perfect hiding place, or a backer. To do this, in this world, they must be rich and noble.
"That's true!"
The old man agreed with Xiao He's point of view, "If there is really such a person, if we can unite with us, it will be much more convenient for us to act!"
As Xiaohe said, this person is at least a capable person in the capital. Since he can quietly arrange the assassin in the capital with strict defense, he can naturally arrange his killer as close to the second prince and the national teacher as possible. At that time, he will definitely hit a blow. Even if there are many masters around them, it is not impossible to kill them! Moreover, he can also help hide his identities and others, so that people will not notice it, even at the feet of the imperial city.
Xiao He said: "That's what my subordinates meant, so when they retreated, they arranged for people to follow the group of people quietly. Now they just need to wait for news!"
The old man lied to the people present and said in surprise: "There is no trace of the sound of the light?"
Xiao He said: "It is this person who is very skilled in light skills, and even masters are not easy to detect. What's more, it is that group of people. As long as we figure out who they are, we can get in touch. Whether the other party intentionally or unintentionally cooperates with us, at least we have one more chance!"
The old man sighed: "Only among these people, you are still thoughtful in doing things!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming entered the room lightly and bowed, "Elder Qi, my subordinates have found out where those people are!"
The old man's eyes lit up and he said, "Lead the way, I will go and investigate in person!"
The three of them took advantage of the night to leave the place where they hid, and led them to the place where they found those whom they found. This was a house next to the palace. The house was not large in size, and it seemed particularly quiet in the darkness.
"It's here?"
The old man looked at the house in front of him with some confusion. It did look like there were eight or nine houses and three courtyards. It looked like a rich family, and it was okay to hide more than twenty people. But if such an ordinary family had more than twenty servants or something, it would be too conspicuous.
Therefore, the old man was somewhat suspicious.
Mingqing said: "Yes, I remember correctly!"
Xiao He said, "The elder did not say you remember correctly, but there are only a few servants in this house in front of you. If more than twenty strong male servants are known to others, they will definitely feel suspicious, not to mention that this is under the feet of the emperor, and there are many eyeliners in the Jinyiwei. They cannot let go of such a suspicious place!"
The old man said: "Let's hold our troops for the time being, and then check how many servants they have!"
As Xiao He said, he did not doubt Ming Qing, but felt that the house in front of him was a bit strange. Of course, more than 20 people arrived here would not disappear out of thin air. The only possibility was that there was something wrong with the house, but whether this was the case, I had to wait until the daytime to investigate and find out!
The elder did not intend to let Mingqing leave a separate investigation, and Xiaohe did not mention asking him to go back, so the three of them stayed nearby, quietly waiting for dawn.
When Dongfang turned white, there were already servants in the whole house, cleaning, preparing to cook, etc. As servants, they had to prepare everything before the owner got up, food, clothing, hot water, etc., and the personal maids of the young ladies and wives were waiting outside the door, waiting for the young ladies and wives on the bed in the house to wake up, and then help wash and change clothes as soon as possible.
The elders and others have already come down from the roof. They have just found out that there are five maids and three servants in this house. Judging from their behavior, they are no different from ordinary people. They are not like the killers of the group last night.
This situation made the three of them a little puzzled, and even more puzzled was Ming Qing, saying: "Last night, my subordinates kept following them here. After seeing them entering the yard, I didn't come out. Then I came back to report, and my subordinates absolutely believe that they didn't find their subordinates at all!"
Xiao He pondered for a moment, looked at the house, then looked at the house, and said, "I think I should find a map of the palace to confirm it first!"
The old man wondered: "Map of the palace?"
Xiao He said, "Yes, of course these people will not disappear out of thin air. The only possibility is to enter this house and go somewhere from this house. This ordinary house may contain secrets that we don't know! So the subordinates are thinking that if they can get the map of the palace, they might find something?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "What do you mean is that there are secret passages hidden in this house, and then it leads to the palace?"
Xiao He said: "I thought about it and did not rule out this possibility. After all, this house was built outside the palace. If you can easily hide dozens of people without being discovered and not afraid of being investigated, the best place is the palace!"
