Chapter 42 Exposed
Jin Sui asked Hei Hu to hold up a lantern in the courtyard, as if he was afraid that the assassin would not be able to find the place, and used the lantern to guide people.
Seeing the lantern lit up, Cheng Yu instantly understood the prince's plan, smiled and shook his head, what a courageous lord! He deserves the name of 'the Infinite King of Li'.
He took off the wine gourd from his waist, drank while staggering, and walked towards Jin Sui's residence with loud shouts and laughter: "My Lord, you want to reward me with fine wine. Can you prepare it tonight?"
Then he sang again: "If there is someone in the mountains, wearing lychee and lady's vine..."
Wei Zhubo in the room heard this and stamped his feet anxiously: "This drunkard, it's ok that he always drinks, but he drank like this at such an important moment tonight!"
Han Xing pondered: "No, Cheng Zhubo knew there was an assassin, he would never be drunk!"
Jin Sui thought of this at the same time and stood up and said, "Hei Hu, accompany me to pick up Cheng Zhubo."
He raised his hand to signal Han Xing and Wei Zhubo that they didn't need to persuade him anymore, and said sternly, "Wei Zhubo, you should hide well and don't come out. Captain Han is leading the men to ambush."
Han Xing rushed forward to stop Jinsui and quickly told Jinsui his plan.
Soon, the hearty laughter of the King of Li came from the room, and then he and a big black man came out:
"Master Cheng, please come in. I have prepared some good wine. We will not leave until we are drunk tonight!"
Cheng Yu stopped singing, swayed under the moon, and bowed to the person in front of him:
"Your Majesty."
As he called out, almost in the blink of an eye, a few thin lightning-like rays flashed in the moonlit night.
Then four long swords accompanied by four black shadows attacked King Li together.
Seeing the knife approaching, the three King Li also moved. Hei Hu shouted loudly and drew the long knife from his waist to block the knife.
The King of Li was also very skilled in martial arts, and he drew the long sword from his waist to meet the enemy.
Even Cheng Yu, who could barely stand, picked up the wine gourd and smashed it at someone. Cheng Yu was so strong that he could turn his gun into a fist. It turned out that he was also a martial artist.
No matter how dumb these four were, they knew they had fallen into a trap. The three Li Kings were clearly well prepared and it didn't look like they were ambushed at all.
But the four men were determined to complete the mission even at the cost of their lives, and every blow of their swords were fatal, vowing to take the King's life tonight.
While the three and four were fighting under the moon, Wei Zhubo in the room was beating the gong vigorously and shouting:
"Someone come! Catch the assassin!"
Of the soldiers lying in ambush in the courtyard, half rushed out to provide assistance, while the other half stayed put.
Wei Zhubo shouted for a while, then covered half of his face and groaned in pain.
Someone comforted me: "Don't be afraid, they can't break in. Don't cry."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhubo almost cried: "Your Majesty, I am not crying because of fear. I am crying because of a toothache."
That’s right, the person next to him was Jinsui, and the King of Li who was fighting against the man in black outside was Han Xing.
She was not the only one who thought of the substitute method.
Jin Sui calmly fiddled with Hei Hu's bow and said with a smile, "When I have time, I will help you pull out your rotten teeth."
Wei Zhubo asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you not afraid at all?"
Jin Sui sneered: "What kind of scene has this king not seen? Just a few assassins."
Wei Zhubo wanted to say, you were the crown prince before, and you had countless secret guards around you, so you naturally had nothing to be afraid of.
But now, you are at the border, isolated and helpless, how can you still laugh? Soon, Wei Zhubo discovered that the prince could not draw the bow.
He hurried forward to take the bow and said, "Let me do it!"
Jin Sui was slightly surprised: "Wei Zhubo also has kung fu?"
She was already surprised that Cheng Yu, the drunkard outside, could fight against the assassin with a knife while holding a wine gourd, and he was not at a disadvantage.
I didn't expect that Wei Zhubo also knows Kung Fu!
"Haha, among the six arts of a gentleman, my riding and archery skills are pretty good."
Come to think of it, if you are at the border, you can't survive without Kung Fu!
Jin Sui pretended to press his arm: "They injured my hand on the way, so I can't even draw the bow."
Wei Zhubo had no doubt at all. He sucked his lips and drew his bow to aim at the yard, but the four men moved too quickly and he could not aim accurately.
Jin Sui held his hand and said, "Don't move yet."
There were five people coming, and there was obviously one more person hiding in the dark.
No sooner had she finished her words than several arrows flew from the sky and hit all the soldiers hiding in the yard.
Then I saw a man flying down from the roof. It turned out that this man had been lying in ambush on the roof!
With a bang, the window in front of Jin Sui was kicked and shattered, and the man rolled into the house.
Han Xing outside the house had already noticed the situation and hurried in, with Hei Hu and Cheng Yu clearing the way for him.
But the assassin in the house was faster. He was obviously the leader and had extremely high skills.
He swung his sword twice, cut off the bow in the hand of the shouting Wei Zhubo, and kicked him over. Wei Zhubo was spitting blood and still shouting: "Your Majesty, please leave!"
Jinsui really hoped that Gu Changxiao could see this scene, at least to let him know that the soldiers at the border were willing to risk their lives to protect him.
Although the black-clad leader had his face covered, Jin Sui still recognized his eyes because the two had met twice before.
One time was in a dilapidated temple, when he led people to fight against the bandits.
One time was when she pretended to be Gu Changxiao and jumped off a cliff. This person was the first to rush to the edge of the cliff and watched her jump down with his own eyes.
Jin Sui knew that he was extremely skilled and he was completely powerless to resist, so he only had one chance to win.
Under the dim candlelight, she pretended to be calm and shouted, "How dare you, you bastard, to assassinate the prince?"
The man was holding a sword and was approaching her step by step. When he was three steps away from her, he suddenly stopped, his eyes wide open, full of surprise:
"You are not the King of Li!"
He knew that the Evil King in the courtyard was a fake, but he never expected that the Evil King hiding in this room was also a fake.
He looked around quickly and thought that the real King Li must be hiding in the house.
Seizing the opportunity when his attention was distracted, Jin Sui moved his wrist, grasped the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and pointed it at his face.
Unfortunately, she was too slow, and the man in black lightly swung his sword and knocked the dagger out of her hand.
When he saw the word "Jun" on the dagger, the man in black guessed that the real Li King was here, and slashed at the bookcase next to Jin Sui with his sword.
At this moment, Han Xing arrived and the two fought. Jin Sui picked up the dagger and took the opportunity to finish off the opponent.
Seeing that the assassination attempt had failed and the King of Li had disappeared, the man in black prepared to retreat. At this moment, he heard a "whoosh" sound.
A feather arrow flew in from the window that was broken by the man in black, and shot into the man in black's shoulder with lightning speed.
He groaned, his body paused, and his speed slowed down. Han Xing attacked faster. After a dozen moves, Han Xing knocked his weapon down and put the knife on his neck.
Turning to Jin Sui, he said, "My Lord, should I kill him or not?"
The man in black looked incredulous and exclaimed, "He is not the King of Li at all!"
After saying this, the man in black fell to the ground, still staring at Jin Sui and asking, "Who are you? Where is the King of Li?"
Jin Sui knew that the anesthetic on the black tiger arrow had taken effect, so he stepped forward and kicked him hard, sneering and asking, "You said that I am not the King of Li, then who is I? Is I your father?"
The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Jin Sui originally wanted to kill him, but then he thought, he was an assassin sent by Prince Yu, if he killed him, there would be other assassins coming tomorrow.
Besides, he just said in front of so many people that he was not the King of Li.
If he was killed at this time, wouldn't it be suspected of murder to silence him? Only by making him change his words would his identity not be suspected.
