The sharp knife was extremely fast, but the moment the sharp knife appeared, Wu Dong's hand suddenly moved! He raised his hand upwards and grabbed the opponent's wrist fiercely, and the sharp knife fell to the ground.
.
Just when he thought the danger was over, several sharp wind sounds suddenly sounded!
Having stayed in the army for a long time, Wu Dong naturally knew that it was the sound of a strong crossbow, and he was shocked at the moment.
He knew that it would be difficult to deal with them now. There were so many powerful crossbows, and no matter how high his martial arts skills were, it would be difficult for him to dodge them.
However, his body still instinctively fell to one side. He originally thought he would be dead or injured this time, but at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind him.
"Duan Zhao!" Wu Dong turned around suddenly and found that one of his shi guards had fallen into a pool of blood. The shi guard used his body to block an arrow from behind for Wu Dong.
"Capture the assassin!" The rest of Wu Dong's guards had already rushed towards the situation in front of him, and some people came to Wu Dong's side and continued to protect Wu Dong's safety with their bodies.
After a moment, four assassins were thrown out. Three were dead, and one was not dead, but was seriously injured. The assassin looked up at Wu Dong at this moment, his eyes full of resentment, and his mouth opened.
He opened the door and was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide. At this moment, a guard rushed over and pinched his chin hard. His jaw joint fell off, and it was obviously impossible to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
"Duan Zhao, how are you?" Wu Dong was squatting in front of the guard who was blocking the arrow for him, and asked anxiously.
"Grand Governor, I'm afraid I can't survive." A strange green color appeared on the guard's face, and he replied with difficulty.
"Quickly, take him back and treat him well." Wu Dong shouted loudly.
"Grand Governor, I'm afraid it won't work. Those arrows are poisonous! You can't touch his body. I'm afraid if you do, he will die immediately." Another guard next to him said sadly.
"Is there no cure?" Wu Dong asked anxiously.
"I'm afraid it won't work anymore." The guard next to him shook his head.
At this time, a blush suddenly appeared on the face of the shiwei named Duan Zhao, his eyes suddenly blurred, and it seemed that he was already dying.
"Grand Governor... please take care of my family," Duan Zhao said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them! Don't worry!" Wu Dong said through gritted teeth.
Not long after he said these words, Duan Zhao took his last breath and died in front of everyone.
"Grand Governor, this place is dangerous, we have to leave here." The remaining guards protected Wu Dong and said.
"Well, first go back to the Koryo Palace and check carefully for me to see who the assassin is?" Wu Dong said.
With the support of the guards, Wu Dong returned to the palace. At this moment, Hu Sanniang, Li Shishi and others had received the news, and they hurriedly came out.
"Husband, how are you?" Li Shishi grabbed Wu Dong and asked worriedly.
"I have nothing to do, it's just that Duan Zhao is dead." Wu Dong said.
These shi guards of Wudong, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang and others all knew each other, and they were often together on weekdays, almost like family members. When they heard about Duan Zhao's death, everyone was stunned at first, and then their faces became sad.
"Who is it that dares to assassinate you, my husband?" Master Li asked.
"It's nothing more than the Goryeo rebels or the Japanese warriors! But I think it's more likely to be the Japanese warriors." Wu Dong thought for a while and said.
He had seen those who were taking action at this moment, with a ferocious aura of killing with one strike. These are what the Japanese warriors are best at. Relatively speaking, the Goryeo resistance army did not have such means.
Moreover, the Japanese ninjas of later generations were quite famous and famous for their assassination skills. These people looked somewhat like Japanese ninjas, but there seemed to be some differences.
The real Japanese ninja would not appear until the Japanese Warring States Period in later generations. It took more than a hundred years for them to truly take shape. They have their own unique system, unique martial arts, and unique attack methods. Today's Japanese samurai are still
Can't reach that level.
"It's really dangerous this time." Wu Dong secretly said.
This time he almost lost his life, especially the arrow from behind, which was almost impossible to dodge. If Duan Zhao hadn't used his own body to block the arrow for him, he would have died.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Hua Rong and Li Gang quickly walked into the palace. When they saw that Wu Dong was fine, they felt relieved.
"Grand Governor, who is he at this moment?" Hua Rong sat down and asked.
"There will be news soon. The only remaining assassin is being interrogated." Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, the city gates are now closed, and there will be a curfew tonight. We will definitely catch the assassin's accomplices," Hua Rong said again.
"I hope so." Wu Dong said.
He knew that the assassin's accomplices were definitely not that easy to catch. If these people dared to assassinate him, they would have put life and death at risk. Even if they could catch the accomplices at this moment, they would probably only get a few corpses. There is only one assassin left today.
, if the guards hadn't been clever enough to pinch open the jaw joint, he would have committed suicide by biting his tongue.
The three of them sat there, all frowning, and no one said anything.
After half an hour, the results of the interrogation finally came out. As expected, those people were indeed Japanese.
"Damn Japanese!" Hua Rong cursed.
"We have invaded their territory, and it is normal for them to assassinate me. We just need to be more careful from now on. You should take more luggage with you when you travel." He shook his head and said.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Hua Rong nodded.
"Have you ever asked how they came from Japan at this moment, where they landed from, and how they entered Kaijing City? Where are their accomplices?" Li Gang said.
"That's not the case. The assassin's will is unusually strong. He spoke the Japanese language in confusion, and we judged that he was from Japan. The only conclusion we came to was that he was sent by the emperor of Japan. The rest
I don't know." The person who came to report the news was Shi Weidao.
"Continue the interrogation." Wu Dong said calmly, and then waved the guard to leave.
Late that night, the entire Kaijing City was inquiring about the assassin. Originally, this was the responsibility of the military department, but now it has been handed over to Zhu Gui, and Dai Zong's Intelligence Department is responsible. They have completely closed the street where Wu Dong was assassinated. At that time,
Everyone on the street was controlled and questioned closely.
In the Goryeo Palace, Wu Dong had already calmed down, but he still felt a little emotional in his heart.
"Husband, why do we want to go to war with Japan? If we had not entered Japan, there might not have been such an assassination." Hu Sanniang lay in Wu Dong's arms and said softly.
"For commercial interests, to open up Japan's market, and to obtain the strategic materials we need from Japan, there are many reasons... In fact, the two countries are so close to each other, and war is definitely a must. Even if it is not possible now
A war may happen decades or hundreds of years from now. After the matter on the mainland is resolved, sooner or later I will completely solve Japan's problem and make Japan completely belong to me, the Han people." Wu Dong thought for a while and said.
"Is there no eternal peace in this world?" Hu Sanniang said.
"Peace may be possible in the future, but it is impossible now." Wu Dong suddenly laughed and said.
In later generations, because of the terror of nuclear weapons, a peaceful era that had not happened in thousands of years appeared in the world. Without nuclear weapons, the Third World War would have broken out long ago. Now there is no shadow of nuclear weapons, and mankind is still in an era of incomparable barbarism.
.In order to fight for the living space of the nation and the country, the war will continue. If you don’t fight others, others will fight you. In this era, it is undoubtedly a ridiculous thing to think about peace.
"Okay, don't think about these things, lest they affect your pregnancy. You and Shishi, just be happy every day. I will go to the Great Wall area tomorrow," Wu Dong said.
"Ah? Are you leaving tomorrow?" Hu Sanniang said in surprise.
Of course she also knew about the upcoming war with Nv Zhenren, but she didn't expect that Wu Dong would set off tomorrow. Especially since he had just been assassinated today, she thought Wu Dong would stay in the palace for a few more days to solve the assassin's problem first.
Let’s talk about it.
"Well, let's go there first and prepare for the upcoming war. Unfortunately, my Yu'er can't accompany me this time." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"Husband, be careful." Hu Sanniang gently kissed Wu Dong and said with a smile.
Early the next morning, Wu Dong and Hua Rong led countless military guards to the military camp outside Kaijing.
Now outside Kaijing City, the armies of Han Shizhong and Luan Tingyu are stationed here and train here every day.
