King Yan's mansion in Jinling is in the south of the city, not only the princes' mansions, but also the mansions of princes and court ministers, most of them choose to build their mansions here, not only because it is located in the most prosperous area of Qinhuai, but also because it is the closest to the court.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a workaholic, every day the court meeting is not divided into cold and summer, rain or shine, if you live too far, you have to get up early in the morning, a day or two is completed, and these old adults can't bear it for a long time.
As soon as you arrive at this place, it is obvious that they are all high-rise buildings, the buildings have their own styles, but from the color point of view, they are all Daiwa white walls, with all kinds of flowers and trees, the whole alley is gorgeous and tidy, rich and compelling, there is a stone archway after walking a few steps, and when you look up, it is the Zhumen copper ring double lion guarding the door, showing the difference here.
The night was deep and the stars were sparse, Xia Xun, Chen Dong, and Ye An quietly sneaked to the side of Yanwang's Mansion and climbed to the high wall with a flying catch.
Chen Dong and Ye An's words and deeds seem to be nothing special, but once they take action, Xia Xun can't help but be impressed by their skills, the skills of the two of them are very neat and flexible, not inferior to him, and even better in some aspects.
Xia Xun didn't know what their public identities were, but he knew that this was by no means the first time they had been ordered to kill, and no matter how much training they had, if there was no actual combat drill, it would never have been possible for them to have such a calm and calm mentality.
Night, quietly.
The Qinhuai River is still brightly lit, and countless people are drunk in dreams, but this piece of high-rise mansion courtyard seems to have completely fallen asleep.
Lying on the high wall, condescending, the tall buildings in the palace are all dark and gloomy, but their outlines can still be seen clearly, Xia Xun pretended to observe, but in fact, he was secretly thinking about his thoughts.
This is also to meet an indecisive monarch like Zhu Yunwen and a fame-loving corrupt Confucian like Huang Zicheng, otherwise he doesn't care what the world says, he directly cut Zhu Laosi, and in a few months, who will care about this matter.
Perhaps future generations will make a note for them in the book, but the views of future generations are really that important Zhu Laosi's return to Beijing this time was obviously self-inflicted, but Zhu Yunwen didn't have the courage, and they all cherished their feathers very much, so they had to package themselves as saints, and they had to set up archways when they became bitches, and they were stunned to suffocate a big dragon who had controlled the overall situation.
"My lord, the soldiers patrolling in the side courtyard, the time of half a pillar of incense will pass by one team, each team has five people, it is easy to solve them, but as long as there is a result that is not sharp enough, let him shout, our plan will fail."
Chen Dong quietly observed for a while, and suggested to Xia Xun: "According to the humble position, we can go over one person at a time, and gather behind the flowers after passing."
This is the side courtyard of the palace, King Yan should live in the house behind the main hall, after we sneak in, find a way to get closer, King Yan's residence must be more strict, according to this, it is not difficult to identify. ” On the other side, Ye An also lowered his voice and proposed: "My lord, when you touch the front of King Yan's bedroom, please make some noise with Captain Chen to lead away the palace guards, and let the humble position start."
The lowly blow arrow is highly poisonous, and the blood seals the throat, unless the king of Yan calms down and never shows his face, otherwise, as long as the arrow of the lowly position can scratch his skin a little, he will die."
Xia Xun shook his head and said, "It's hard to start, and it's even harder to escape."
The guards of the Yan Wang's Mansion are too strict, and it seems that the Yan King has increased his vigilance against the imperial court. ” Chen Dong said lightly: "We are a dead soldier trained by Lord Shi, life and death are ordinary things, if you can kill a prince, it is worth dying."
Xia Xun glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid that if I sacrifice for no reason, but I can't complete the orders of the adults, then I will die worthless."
Chen Dong, you go around to the opposite side, sneak in from the other side, and find a way to set the dining room on fire. ” Chen Dong said hesitantly: "My lord wants to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, the first priority of the palace guard is to protect the safety of the prince, I'm afraid they won't be fooled." ” Xia Xun smiled indifferently and said, "I know."
Tonight, the wind is blowing from that side, the fire is together, even if the guards guarding the Yanwang residence will not move, the guards in other places cannot not move, they can't sit back and watch the palace burn to a fine light, besides, the fire together, the whole alley will be chaotic, in the chaos, our chances will be greater, and it will be convenient to escape, I will take you out, I will take you out as much as possible, remember, as long as you do things with me in the future, you are not allowed to sacrifice lightly. ” "Yes" Chen Dong glanced at him in surprise, and his eyes showed some emotion.
Yes, they are dead soldiers, and from childhood to adulthood, they have been trained to be most instilled with the idea that it is better to die in order to achieve their goals, and they have received such education since they can remember, and they have already formed an almost instinctive acceptance of death.
But although they are not afraid of death, after all, they are also living people, if they can not die, of course they still want to live, when they were on a mission before, they received instructions at all costs, and they would rather die to achieve the task, at first hearing Xia Xun's fresh remarks, they couldn't help but have a new understanding of this first-time acquaintance of the top boss.
Xia Xun instructed again: "Be careful, that's the upper hand, if there are vicious dogs in the house, it will inevitably smell you."
You have to move quickly, once you light the fire, your task is accomplished, get out immediately, find a place to hide, and after three days, if there is no change, go and reply to the adult. ” "Obedience" This time, Chen Dong agreed very happily, he quickly fell to the ground along the rope, and quickly disappeared into the night.
They originally had a more feasible plan, and according to their proposal, they found out King Yan's itinerary in advance, used the startled horse to disperse King Yan's guard of honor, and took advantage of the chaos.
With the appearance of the two of them as flawless civilians, Xia Xun believed that their success must be very certain.
But the order he received was "only allowed to fail, not to succeed", even without Luo Kedi's order, he was just about to do so, so he refused, very "stubbornly" refused.
And these two experienced killers are not a little dissatisfied, they have been instilled with one more concept since childhood, that is, obedience, unconditional obedience.
So they obediently followed Xia Xun's instructions and came to the Yanwang Mansion, even though they knew that this was a dead end with no return, they calmly made some suggestions to Xia Xun as much as possible.
Xia Xun felt that the move he had made in advance was right, and he couldn't let such two people make senseless sacrifices.
Xia Xun looked back at Ye An and said, "Give me the blow arrow." ” Ye An was a little surprised, and said, "My lord, let's start with the lowly position." ” Xia Xun said: "You are responsible for luring away the people guarding King Yan's bedroom, this task is actually more dangerous than assassinating King Yan."
I have your blow arrows in my hand, and a box of powerful crossbows, all of which have been quenched with poison, and unless King Yan does not show his head, he will surely die.
When King Yan is alive, the guards will go all out, if King Yan dies, who will they die for Therefore, this move seems dangerous, but it is actually safer than luring away the defending enemy. ” Ye An had no choice but to hand over the blow arrow to Xia Xun, and then advised: "My lord, three blow pipes, each hiding a blow arrow, this end with a hoop is the position of the blowing, the blow arrow is quenched poison, be careful" Xia Xun chuckled: "Don't worry, I'll use this thing" The south chamber of Yanwang's mansion was on fire, the weather in March, the night wind was very strong, and after a while, the flames flew into the night sky, reflecting half of the mansion in red.
"Oh no, Yanwang's Mansion is in the water" The husband who beat the more bang on the street took the lead in shouting, and then there was chaos inside and outside the Yanwang Mansion, and the guards of the Yanwang Mansion dispatched most of them to rush to the east chamber to put out the fire, Xia Xun and Ye An hid in the dark and could see clearly, although there was a panic outside the palace that was the most heavily guarded, but the guards did not leave their posts, but drew their weapons and looked around vigilantly.
"This is it" Ye An, who hung upside down on the eaves of the palace with a golden hook, pounced forward with his legs, slid down against the smooth and round palace pillars, and slashed at the guards of the Yanwang Mansion who were caught off guard.
"Catch the Assassins" The guards waiting outside the dormitory swarmed up, and a tall warrior in half-body leather armor rushed forward in the oblique stab, this person thought to be a guard leader, burly and agile, and the palace lamp under the eaves behind him reflected the shiny leather armor on his body, emitting a cold iron-like light, making his body that was burly but not unusually tall gave people a feeling of condensation like a mountain and a mountain, causing a strong psychological pressure.
"Drink" When the first knife was like a match, it was reflected by the light, like a lightning bolt splitting the night sky, Ye An was secretly surprised, he didn't dare to raise his knife to meet it, his feet slipped, and he slid out three feet against the smooth blue brick ground, avoiding this knife.
The man's knife turned around with him, not giving him a chance to breathe at all, and he slashed at the waist with a knife, and the indomitable momentum seemed to be cut in half by him even if it was a mountain in front of him.
At the same time, seven or eight guards had already pounced like wolves, and they were about to form a circle.
Ye An was secretly surprised: "The Yanshan guard, as expected, is worthy of its reputation, if you don't leave at this time, you will have to explain it here." ” He immediately fell down, a slanted willow, like a fireworks rocket, crooked into the flowers, rolled on the spot, and escaped like lightning with the flowers and trees in the courtyard: "Ye Mou's responsibility is gone, and the rest will be handed over to Yang Baihu."
Several guards of the Yanwang Mansion chased after him, and Xia Xun, who was lying on the eaves, took a deep breath: "It's time for me to appear."
