King Yan's residence in Jinling is in the south of the city. This area not only houses the residences of princes, but also the residences of princes, nobles, relatives, and court ministers. Most of them chose this place to build their residences, not only because it is located in the most prosperous area of Qinhuai.
It’s also because it’s the closest place to go to court. Zhu Yuanzhang is a workaholic. The daily court meeting takes place regardless of the cold or heat, regardless of wind or rain. If you live too far away, you have to get up early, and it’s enough for a day or two. After a long time, these old men
It's too much to bear.
As soon as you arrive at this place, it is obvious that they are all high-rise buildings. Each building has its own style, but from the color point of view, they are all black tiles and white walls, with various flowers and trees here and there. The whole lane is gorgeous and tidy, and it is full of wealth.
As soon as you walk a few steps, you will see a stone archway, and when you look up, you will see a red gate with a copper ring and two lions guarding the gate, which shows that this place is unique.
The night was deep and the stars were sparse. Xia Xun, Chen Dong, and Ye An quietly sneaked to the side of Prince Yan's Mansion and climbed up to the high wall with flying claws.
There seems to be nothing special about Chen Dong and Ye An's words and deeds, but once they take action, Xia Xun can't help but be impressed by their skills. The two people's skills are very agile and flexible, no less than him.
In some aspects, they are even better. Xia Xun doesn't know what their public identities are, but he knows that this is by no means the first time they have been ordered to kill people. No matter how much training they have, without actual combat drills, they will never be like this.
A calm and composed attitude.
The night is quiet. The lights on the Qinhuai River are still brightly lit, and countless people are drunkenly dreaming and singing, but these high-rise courtyards seem to have completely fallen asleep.
Leaning on the high wall, looking down from a high position, the tall buildings in the palace were all dark, but their outlines could still be seen clearly. Xia Xun pretended to observe, but in fact he was secretly thinking about something on his mind.
This is what happens when you encounter an indecisive monarch like Zhu Yunwen and a rotten scholar like Huang Zicheng who loves fame. Otherwise, regardless of the public opinion, just kill Zhu Laosi. After a few months, who among the people will still care about this matter?
Well. Maybe future generations will make a note of them in the book, but are the opinions of future generations really that important?
Zhu Laosi obviously committed suicide when he returned to the capital this time, but Zhu Yunzhen and his ministers did not have the courage. They all cherished feathers very much and insisted on packaging themselves like saints. After becoming a prostitute, they had to build an archway.
A big dragon that had already taken control of the situation was suffocated to death.
"Sir, the soldiers patrolling the side yard can pass by a team of five people in half a stick of incense. It is easy to deal with them, but as long as one of the results is not neat enough, let him shout, our plan will be
It’s going to fail.”
Chen Dong observed it quietly for a while, and then suggested to Xia Xun: "According to my humble opinion, we can go there in batches, one person at a time, and then gather behind the flowers. This is the side courtyard of the palace, and King Yan should live there.
After we sneak in and try to get closer to the building behind the main hall, King Yan's residence must be more heavily guarded. Based on this, it is not difficult to identify it."
On the other side, Ye An also lowered his voice and suggested: "Sir, when you touch the front of King Yan's chamber, please make some noise with Colonel Chen to distract the palace guards, and let the low-ranking officer take action. The low-ranking blow dart is a joke."
He is poisonous and will seal his throat at the sight of blood. Unless King Yan can keep his composure and never show his face, otherwise, as long as the arrow from humble position can scratch his skin, he will be dead!"
Xia Xun shook his head and said: "It's difficult to start, and even harder to escape. The guards at Prince Yan's Mansion are really too tight. It seems that Prince Yan has become more alert to the court."
Chen Dong said lightly: "We are the dead warriors trained by Master Qianshi. Life and death are ordinary matters. If we can kill a prince, death is worth it!"
Xia Xun glanced at him and said: "I'm afraid that if I sacrifice for no reason but can't fulfill the master's instructions, I will die worthless. Chen Dong, go around to the opposite side, sneak in from the other side, and find a way to clear the dining room."
Ignite.”
Chen Dong hesitated and said: "My lord, do you want to lure the tiger away from the mountain? The first duty of the palace guards is to protect the safety of the prince. I'm afraid they won't be fooled."
Xia Xun smiled calmly and said: "I know. The wind is blowing from that direction tonight, and the fire is strong. Even if the guards guarding King Yan's residence will not move, the guards everywhere cannot move either. They
We can't just sit back and watch the palace burn to the ground. Besides, if the fire breaks out, the whole alley will be in chaos. In the chaos, our chances will be greater, and it will be easier to escape. When I bring you out, we must do our best.
Take you out and remember, as long as you work with me in the future, you are not allowed to sacrifice lightly."
"yes!"
Chen Dong glanced at him in surprise, with a slight touch of emotion in his eyes. Yes, they are death warriors. From childhood to adulthood, the most instilled concept in the training they received was that they might as well die to achieve their goals. Ever since they can remember,
As a result of receiving such education, they have already developed an almost instinctive acceptance of death.
But although they are not afraid of death, they are still living people after all. If they can avoid death, of course they still want to live. When they performed the mission in the past, they received instructions to complete the mission at all costs and would rather die than to complete the mission. Suddenly they heard Xia
Xun's fresh remarks couldn't help but give them, the cold-blooded assassins, a completely new understanding of their immediate boss whom they met for the first time.
Xia Xun then urged: "Be careful, it's the wind. If there are vicious dogs in the house, they will inevitably smell you. You have to move quickly. Once the fire is lit, your mission will be accomplished. Immediately
Get away and find a place to hide. After three days, if there is no movement, go back to your Excellency."
"As you command!"
This time, Chen Dong agreed very happily. He quickly dropped to the ground along the rope and quickly disappeared into the night.
They originally had a more feasible plan. According to their proposal, they found out King Yan's itinerary in advance, used the frightening horses to disperse King Yan's ceremonial guard, and took advantage of the chaos. Using their flawless appearance as civilians, Xia Xun
I believe that their chances of success must be extremely high. However, the order he received was "only failure is allowed, no success". Even without Luo Kedi's order, he wanted to do this, so he refused and was very "willful".
The ground refused.
And these two experienced killers were not dissatisfied at all. Another concept they had been instilled in them since childhood was obedience, unconditional obedience. So they obediently followed Xia Xun's instructions and came to Prince Yan's Mansion, even though they knew it was illegal.
Even though he was facing a dead end, he calmly made as many suggestions as possible to Xia Xun.
Xia Xun felt that the measures he had taken in advance were right and he could not let these two people make unnecessary sacrifices.
Xia Xun looked back and said to Ye An: "Give me the blowgun."
Ye An was a little surprised and said, "Sir, let's start with a humble position."
Xia Xun said: "You are responsible for distracting the people guarding King Yan's chamber. This task is actually more dangerous than assassinating King Yan. I have your blow darts and a box of continuous-fire crossbows in my hands, both of which have been tempered.
It is highly poisonous. Unless King Yan does not show his head, he will definitely die. When King Yan is alive, the guards will go all out. If King Yan dies, who will they sacrifice their lives for? Therefore, this move seems dangerous.
, which is actually safer than diverting and defending the enemy."
Ye An had no choice but to hand the blowpipe to Xia Xun, and warned: "Sir, there are three blowpipes, each containing a blowpipe. The end with the hoop is the position for blowing. The blowpipe has quenched the poison, so be careful."
!”
Xia Xun chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I can use this thing!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
A fire broke out in the south wing of Prince Yan's Mansion. It was March and the night wind was very strong. In a short time, the flames shot up into the night sky, making half of the mansion glow red.
"No, Prince Yan's mansion is in trouble!"
The watchman who was banging his banger on the street was the first to shout, and then there was chaos inside and outside Prince Yan's palace. Most of the guards of Prince Yan's palace were dispatched and rushed to the east chamber to put out the fire. Xia Xun and Ye An were hiding in the dark and could see clearly.
Although there was a moment of panic outside the most heavily guarded palace, the guards did not leave their posts. Instead, they drew their weapons and scanned the surroundings warily.
"This is it!"
Ye An, who was hanging upside down on a golden hook under the eaves of the palace, let go of his legs and jumped forward, sliding down against the smooth and round pillars. He swung his knife to slash at the guards of Prince Yan's palace who were caught off guard.
The attendants who were staring at the flowers and shrubs in the courtyard were unable to dodge, and each received a knife blow. They fell away screaming in pain. Ye An didn't stop for a moment, and jumped towards the window of the opposite hall.
"Catch the assassin!"
The guards waiting outside the dormitory swarmed up, and a tall warrior wearing half leather armor rushed forward. This man seemed to be the leader of the guards. He was tall and agile, and the palace lanterns under the eaves behind him reflected his shiny body.
The leather armor emitted a cold iron-like light, making his burly but not unusually tall body give people the feeling of being as solid as a mountain and as heavy as a mountain, causing a strong psychological pressure.
"drink!"
The sword on the head was like a sword, and when it was reflected by the light, it was like a bolt of lightning splitting the night sky. Ye An was secretly startled and did not dare to raise the sword to meet it. His foot slipped and he slid out against the smooth blue brick floor.
Three feet away, he avoided the knife. The man's knife turned around without giving him a chance to breathe. He cut him in the middle with another knife. With such an indomitable momentum, it was as if even a mountain in front of him could be cut into two by his knife.
Half.
At the same time, seven or eight guards rushed over like wolves and tigers, and were about to form an encirclement. Ye An was secretly surprised: "The Yanshan guards are indeed worthy of their reputation. If you don't leave now, you will have to stay here."
He immediately made a false chop and stabbed a willow sideways, like a firework rocket, flying into the flowers crookedly, rolling on the spot, and escaped like lightning through the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard: "Ye's responsibility is over."
, leave the rest to Yang Baihu!"
Several guards from Prince Yan's Palace chased after him...
Xia Xun, who was lying on the eaves, took a deep breath: "It's my turn!"
