Chapter 365 The Assassination of Su Dai(1/2)
Su Dai did not know that he had become the target of Qin people. After coming out of the palace, he leaned comfortably on the couch of the carriage.
As the Grand Secretary of Zhao State, Su Dai was undoubtedly one of the core figures of the entire Zhao State, which also gave him good enough treatment. A thick wide bear skin covered the entire car couch, soft and comfortable, and was completely free from the hard work of riding a car in winter.
If Su Dai wanted, he could have a good sleep on it.
There is also a small dark wall below the wooden couch, which contains Su Dai's favorite Yanguo spirit.
In Handan's daily life, Su Dai likes to sip wine after the meeting, slowly return home in a carriage, and then have a good sleep.
However, Su Dai did not do this today, but closed his eyes and rested, thinking about what happened next.
Although the actions of the Qin people in Daliang did cause some interference to the Zhao investigation team led by Su Dai, they did not affect the overall situation.
The investigation team led by Su Dai and Su Qin has completed all the things they want to accomplish.
Many times, the game between countries requires national strength to support it. Su Dai could sit in the inn and dig out the corners of Wei, while the Qin people could only secretly do some assassination and poisoning. This is because of the huge difference between the national strengths of the two sides.
Moreover, Su Dai was about to leave. After leaving, all the messes would be left to the people of Wei to clean up.
This is why Su Dai specifically pointed out the Qin people to King Wei before leaving. As long as King Wei is not a fool, he will definitely find some clues soon.
As for the sensational public opinion in Daliang City, Su Dai was even more disheartened.
People are always easy to open their mouths, but difficult to do things. Even if the people of Wei really have any opinions about Da Zhao, when the 300,000 Da Zhao Qiangjun entered the city, they should shut their mouths and present their wives and children with fear and fear.
Oh, I almost forgot that the king said that he could not indulge the wife and daughter of the loser.
To be honest, this regulation is quite strange in this era, so that there are always people in Zhao who think that Zhao He is the reincarnation of a saint.
Because the king's terms always seem a little more kind.
However, Su Dai was not dissatisfied with this. As a straitor, it is necessary to be familiar with various allusions, and allusions often come from history, so most of the straitors are familiar with history.
If a king could be so kind to his enemies after his defeat, it would naturally be even less likely to treat his subordinates who had always helped him.
No one hopes that his king is a guy like Goujian who can share hardships but cannot share wealth.
Su Dai slowly let his thoughts go away, gradually feeling a little sleepy, and his consciousness slowly dived into the calm deep sea. The squeaking sound of wheels and the occasional bumps and vibrations seemed to have become cradles and lullabies, which led him to fall asleep gradually.
At this time, Su Dai's carriage turned into a long street, and at the end of the long street hundreds of steps was the Wei State Inn where Su Dai lived these days.
It is at this time that a sudden change occurs.
"Swoosh swish swish!" With the sound of the bowstring, arrows and crossbows cut through the cold air, flew out from the houses on both sides of the street, and arrived quickly.
Nearly ten people were shot down by Zhao State's guards who were completely unprepared.
"Do!" A crossbow arrow about two thick and thick penetrating through the car window very roughly and nailed directly in front of Su Dai.
Su Dai was shocked and sat up suddenly.
The tail feathers of the crossbow arrow were shaking in front of him, and a cold air rushed in along the hole shot out by the crossbow arrow, making Su Dai feel a icy chill.
Su Dai looked at the crossbow arrow in front of him. It hit Su Dai's lower skirt, shot Su Dai's lower skirt through a hole, and then nailed it between Su Dai's legs.
If you go a little further, Su Dai will never be a real man in his life.
When Su Dai thought of this, he suddenly felt that he was so fucking lucky.
But the next moment, Su Dai immediately woke up, and his whole body whistled directly into the corner of the car, and pulled up the bearskin blanket, blocking him, trembling.
Get off the bus? At this time, the option of getting off the bus does not exist at all for Su Dai.
Outside the car, a bloody battle is beginning.
More than 20 Qin spies came out. They were brave and good at fighting. Taking advantage of the messy gap in the Zhao guards' attack, they killed more than a dozen Zhao guards.
However, as the guards of Su Dai, they were naturally not mediocre. After a short moment, the guards of Zhao also came to their senses and began to form a formation to fight back.
"There are assassins!"
"Pay attention to protecting the big business!"
"Go closer to the carriage!"
The sound of shouting and weapons intersecting continued. From time to time, someone fell into the snow, and blood flowed out of the wound, dyeing the ice and snow under him red.
Another sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a crossbow arrow shot into the carriage from a position that was almost the same as before, and was nailed to the floor of the carriage again.
Su Dai saw it clearly this time, and his soul was emitting a huge explosion.
If Su Dai still maintained the lying position just now, then his chest would be penetrated this time!
Due to excessive shock and fear, Su Dai's mind suddenly turned blank.
He never felt death was so close to him.
Finally, after two crossbow arrows were shot out, someone noticed it.
"Go there, there is the assassin's crossbowman!"
"Come on, catch him and don't let him continue to threaten the carriage!"
These few sentences pulled Su Dai's soul back.
The sound of weapons intersecting from outside the carriage began to gradually become sparse, and the shouts of the guards of Zhao State became louder and louder.
Although the assassins gained the upper hand by surprise, the guards of Zhao State far surpassed the assassins in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness. Therefore, no matter how much the assassins sacrificed their lives, the entire battle situation would inevitably tilt heavily in the direction that the assassins were unfavorable.
"Environment all, don't let them go!"
"Catch the living!"
Su Dai, who was extremely frightened, gradually became calm.
It seems that the danger has gone far away from me.
But at this moment, the third crossbow arrow arrived.
"ah!!!"
A scream came from the carriage, and everyone in the battle could hear it clearly.
This completely changed the entire battle situation.
A few extremely sharp whistles suddenly sounded from a house next to the street.
The assassins no longer attacked the carriage, but began to alternately cover the retreat.
However, the Zhao army guards who had already made the real fire obviously did not allow the assassins to leave as soon as they wanted to come, and a chase followed.
At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the inn and rushed to help.
A quarter of an hour later, the Prime Minister of Wei, who learned the news, hurriedly brought thousands of Wei court guards to the scene and even several nearby yards.
After arriving, Mangmao immediately went to the inn to visit Su Dai who had been connected to the inn.
What made Mangmao breathed a sigh of relief was that the Zhao State's great traveler, Su Dai, the leader of the investigation team, was not killed by the assassins, but was only injured.
After confirming that Su Dai was not at stake, Mangmao then turned back to the scene.
Looking at the scene in front of him, even veterans like Mangmao, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, gasped.
A total of twenty-one assassins were left at the scene, and almost none of these corpses were intact. They all fought to the last moment and died with many wounds, which was extremely tragic.
Mangmao took a deep breath and felt a chill surge onto the sky spirit cover.
The number of Zhao State guards died in this raid exceeded forty people, almost twice that of the assassins.
Such an assassin with such a strong martial arts and fearlessness is definitely not something that ordinary nobles or even ministers can train. Even the dead soldiers trained by Mangmao himself may not be able to achieve such a victory.
"Who did it?"
Mangmao gritted his teeth, and his murderous intent was about to overflow his face.
If Su Dai is dead, Mangmao doesn't have to think about what kind of trouble Wei State will face.
With the character of King Zhao, he must bring an army of 200,000 to Wei to ask for an explanation!
Fortunately, Su Dai was not dead, so as long as he could find out who sent the assassin, everything would still be a turnaround.
Thinking of this, Mangmao's eyes turned around the faces of many Wei officials in front of him and said coldly: "You should know how serious this matter is. Go and check it. I don't believe that there are already twenty-one corpses placed here, and the identities of these bastards cannot be found! If it cannot be found, then before the king asks me for guilt, I will kill you and your whole family first!"
These Wei officials were not fools, and they just scattered.
That night, Daliang City was completely closed for martial law, and a large number of Wei yamen runners and troops came out in full swing to carry out a large-scale search of several nearby yards. At the same time, there were rewards everywhere, hanging the bodies of twenty-one assassins on the market. As long as anyone could provide clues to any of these assassins, he could give a heavy reward.
The state machine of Wei State in Daliang City can be said to have been urged to the extreme at this moment.
Finally, under such a large situation, clues emerged one by one.
Assassins after assassins were recognized, and as their identities were revealed, more assassins were exposed.
Surprisingly, these assassins have various origins, including rangers in Daliang City, lower-level officers in the Wei army, guards from merchants, farmers who seem honest on weekdays, etc.
That night, when Mangmao gathered all the clues, the truth surfaced.
"Are these assassins actually sent by the Qin people?"
Even though the facts were in front of me, Mangmao still felt a little disbelief.
The reason is that Qin State has been defeated by Zhao State and has been retracted into Guanzhong. At this moment, we should make every effort to make a good relationship with Wei State. Why did we come to Daliang City to do something?
But immediately, Mangmao understood the joints and couldn't help but spat: "Do you want to use this method to make the Great Wei stand on the side of Qin? Hey, this King of Qin seems to be too poor, and he actually used such a despicable means!"
