Chapter 45 Another Assassination
The rough man in black frowned slightly, obviously feeling uncomfortable with the aura of the scholar in front of him - it was a cold feeling as if a poisonous snake chose to bite people, and it was a feeling that was completely opposite to what he was wearing.
Dangerous and cold.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, just as uncomfortable as when he was lying in a pile of corpses and being swept by the enemy's saber. So the man did not answer the scholar's words, but frowned and scolded: "
Get away! Or die."
The scholar lowered his head slightly, as if he was afraid of the killer in front of him. So he turned his body sideways and got out of the way.
The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth raised, and he laughed ferociously. He tightened his grip on the steel knife at his waist, pushed hard on the eaves with both feet, and suddenly pulled out the steel knife in mid-air. The scholar in front of him, even if he was just an ordinary passerby, would be shocked if he saw him.
Must die.
What's more, he made me feel very uncomfortable!
The sword turned into a faint blue light in the air, and as he jumped out to the opposite side, it struck directly at the scholar's head.
Suddenly, he felt a coldness in his chest, and then a sharp pain came from the left side of his chest. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked - a flying knife as white as snow under the moonlight was pierced deeply into his chest.
.
The rough man in black was hit in the chest by a flying knife, but he still didn't die. The sword in his hand was still sharp, and he still flew forward without slowing down.
So the scholar on the opposite side easily avoided his blade, and then lightly touched his waist with his right hand.
The rough man in black saw a dark light, which flashed before his eyes, and then he felt a coldness in his throat, and he felt nothing anymore.
The scholar just raised his head and glanced, then turned around and jumped off the wall quietly, and walked away silently.
"Bang--" The man's strong body fell outside the wall. After rolling twice, he lay on the ground facing the sky. Under the exposed chest hair, blood continued to gush out. This blood was illuminated by the pale moonlight.
Below, it is like a red spring, trickling continuously.
The killer in black didn't know the other person's name until his death. Of course, the other person didn't know his name either - he didn't know that he faked his death and escaped from the battlefield, then hid in the mountains and became a bandit, becoming a famous criminal thief.
I don't know that he came to the capital this time to receive a top-secret commission. As long as he kills this scholar named Li Yi, he can easily obtain ten thousand taels of gold.
Little did he know that he had been observing the tea stall opposite Li's house for three days before and finally found this opportunity tonight.
Unfortunately, for Wu Xiaoming, he doesn't need to ask anything. He just needs to wipe the person who dared to assassinate Li Yi from this world gently and elegantly.
The poor man in black didn't see the black weapon Wu Xiaoming used when he was about to die, and he didn't even hear the grunt of the target he wanted to assassinate.
However, his last words in life were confirmed - he rolled twice on the ground and died.
The next day, dark clouds came from the east, and the entire Kyoto was shrouded in gray dark clouds. People seemed a little listless.
As a result, a hawker who got up early was walking drowsily through an alley with a load. He stumbled and found a corpse in front of him. His shrill exclamation due to excessive fright successfully attracted people in Kyoto.
The policeman of the government.
"Master, Master!" Li Yi, who was still sleeping soundly, was woken up by Qing'er's shout.
"Ouch -" Li Yi stood up from the bed, stretched himself out, and said with half-open eyes: "What's the matter, so early?"
Without saying anything, Qing'er first handed over the mouthwash, and then said: "Master, it's bad, there is a dead person outside our hospital, and the government just came to inquire!"
"Dead person?" Li Yi snorted and sprayed out the mouthwash, covering his legs.
He randomly pulled a sweat towel and wiped it, and asked nervously: "Wu Xiaoming, this guy has a bad drinker? I drank so much, and I drank him to death?"
"It's not him..." Qing'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "It's a stranger in black. Brother Tu and the others have never seen him before. This man even has a knife on him!"
Li Yi curled his lips, waved his hands dismissively and said, "What does that have to do with me?"
"But, I heard from the government that this person seems to have come to the government to commit an assassination!" Qing'er whispered nervously.
Li Yi suddenly woke up at this moment, quickly got out of bed, dressed randomly, and asked nervously: "Did this person succeed? Is anyone in our house injured?"
"No..." A calm, emotionless voice came from outside the door.
Wu Xiaoming limped and slowly moved in. His expression was as usual, as if what happened last night had nothing to do with him.
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Did you kill him?"
"Yes!" Wu Xiaoming seemed to have no feeling at all about killing a lot of people, and he didn't even speak with any emotion.
"Is he here to kill me?" Li Yi continued to ask.
"I don't know." Wu Xiaoming told the truth. He asked the other party, but the other party just told him to go away.
"Who sent him?" Li Yi was stunned and continued to ask.
Wu Xiaoming didn't even say anything this time, he just shook his head.
Li Yi looked at the scholar up and down in surprise, and said in astonishment: "You don't understand even one question!"
"I just kill people." Wu Xiaoming said confidently, his voice still calm - it seemed that except yesterday when he told his tragic experience, Li Yi had never heard this kid speak with emotion at any time.
"Okay..." Li Yi shrugged helplessly and killed him. Anyway, this person didn't do anything good.
Moreover, since the other party dares to assassinate alone, he must be sure that he will not reveal the instigator behind him. Therefore, even if he captures this man, I am afraid that he will not get any useful information - if he dies, he will die!
"Okay." Li Yi said casually, and then suddenly remembered that including the half month he was in coma, he had not contacted Liu Yu for nearly 20 days.
This little girl looks quite elegant, and it's not easy to be playful; however, when she is gentle, these calls for a good husband are too nice...
Li Yi thought of the previous encounter between the two of them, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, clapped his hands, and laughed: "Qing'er, prepare a suit of clothes for me, young master, I want to see your young mistress!"
"Okay, Master!" Qing'er looked happy and hurriedly ran to the back. In a moment, she found a set of white satin robes - in her opinion, although the Master's complexion was a bit darker, he was still wearing white clothes.
He still has a bit of a gentlemanly demeanor.
"This little girl, she hasn't come to see me for so long, she really needs to be taught a lesson..." After a while, someone walked out of the house murmuringly. At this moment, he had changed into a decent white robe and wore a turban on his head.
, holding the folding fan that the maid forced on him, but he also looked quite handsome.
