Chapter 105 Assassination (Part 2)

The two groups of musicians from Liaodong were all disguised assassins. The assassins sent by Cao Yu did not understand the music and were afraid of showing flaws along the way, so they did not dare to talk to the other ten musicians at all. As the saying goes, too much will lead to mistakes. These assassins did not dare to talk to the other ten people at all.

But they didn't expect that the other ten people were assassins of the Huns. These ten Huns also did not understand the rhythm, so they also used the same abacus, which was to try to avoid contact with everyone else and reveal flaws.

The journey from Liaodong to Luoyang is long, and these two groups of fake musicians did not say a few words along the way. In the eyes of other members of the messenger group, these musicians were all weirdos, and they didn't say a word along the way. Even if they took the initiative to chat with each other, the musicians would not pay attention to them. Moreover, these musicians had never played music along the way, and they didn't even touch the instruments.

However, everyone is in a hurry to go. Although these "musicians" behave strangely, no one has the time to question them. Now, with the shouting of the eunuchs in the palace, these "musicians" are finally coming out to perform their skills.

Ten three-Khan women walked up slowly, and the twenty fake musicians also followed them to the hall.

The eunuch brought this group of fake musicians to the designated position. More than 20 musicians sat down and slowly lifted the instrument in their hands. They looked like they were preparing to play music.

"Play music!" the eunuch shouted, and then the whole hall was quiet, and everyone was waiting for the musicians to play.

In the middle of the lobby, the twenty three-han women had already set up their positions and could dance gracefully when the music sounded. The officials around, especially some generals, stared at the women in the middle in a daze, constantly looking up and down.

Time passed minute by minute, but the music still didn't sound.

The eunuch who had just shouted looked at the group of musicians below in surprise, and began to think in his mind: Could it be that our family didn't shout clearly enough just now, and they didn't understand?

Thinking of this, the eunuch strides forward again, deliberately raises his voice, slows down his speech, and shouts loudly: "Play music!"

This time, the eunuch was very sure that he was calling out with a straight voice, and others would definitely hear it clearly.

Below, two groups of fake musicians look at me, and I look at you, neither of them moved. Both sides were thinking of filling in the numbers and were waiting for each other to play music.

The two people stared at each other with big eyes, holding musical instruments in their hands, waiting for each other to play music first, and the field was quiet.

"Play music!" the eunuch shouted again. However, the group of fake musicians below still had no movement.

The assassins exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw confusion and doubts in each other's eyes. Several assassins had noticed something was wrong and began to look around carefully.

"Boss, why don't they play music?" asked a assassin whispered.

"How could I know this?"

"We can do it now!"

"No, haven't you seen it? Everyone is watching us. You can't do it now, wait a little longer."

In the hall, all the civil and military officials looked at the group of musicians, and their eyes were all intertwined. And the most embarrassing thing here was the envoy from Liaodong.

At this time, the face of the Liaodong envoy became very ugly. The Liaodong envoy originally planned to take this opportunity to perform well, but unexpectedly, the eunuchs shouted three times, but these musicians did not play music, which made the Liaodong envoy very embarrassed.

Around them, officials have begun to discuss.

"What's going on?"

"Are these Liaodong people deaf?"

"Have you heard that deaf people will be musicians? I guess they must be mutes!"

"Mutual? What does mute have to do with music..."

The officials' discussion made the hall seem a little riotful.

Pang Tong slowly touched his beard and looked at the twenty musicians. His eyes narrowed into a slit, his mouth squinted, and his bearded slightly raised. A trace of ferociousness appeared on his already ugly face.

"Come on, arrest all these people!" Pang Tong suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

Your Highness, the warriors immediately rushed up.

"No, do it!" The Youzhou assassins sent by Cao Yu immediately decided to take action. These people were professional assassins and their reaction speed was much faster than those of the Huns. So when the warriors rushed in, the Youzhou assassins immediately started to move and their weapons lit up in an instant.

"There are assassins!"

The generals drew out their swords, while the timid civil officials retreated behind.

"What's going on?"

The Huns assassins did not expect this sudden change at all. The Youzhou assassins dressed as musicians around suddenly took out their weapons. Then, the shouts of the "assassins" came, which scared the Huns. Several of them were panicked by the sudden attack and also pulled out the hidden weapons.

The Huns and Youzhou Assassins looked at each other and saw the weapons in the other's hands, and at the same time they could see the other's surprise and confusion.

The guards in the palace rushed in under the leadership of Huang Chong. At this time, the assassins remembered what they were here for.

"Go up! Liu Chan is there!" The assassins rushed towards A Dou immediately.

"Protect Your Majesty!" Zhang Yi raised the table suddenly and blocked Adou.

"Kill Liu Chan..." An assassin with a not-so-tall figure rushed to the front. The dagger in his hand was blazed with a blue-black light, and he could tell at a glance that it had been poisoned.

"Go to die!" Zhang Yi held the table in one hand as a shield, and grabbed a copper bowl with his other hand and threw it at the assassin.

"Oh!" the assassin screamed. Zhang Yi's bowl hit the assassin's forehead. The copper bowl was not very big, but Zhang Yi's strength was not small. This bowl directly smashed the other party's forehead.

"Swoosh..." Three arrows flew over with a unified sound and rushed towards the three assassins, hitting the back of the three assassins. The three assassins were shot by arrows, and then rushed forward a few steps inertia before falling to the ground.

"Who is so bold that he dares to shoot arrows here, aren't he afraid of being injured by accident?" Zhang Yi frowned. Although the area in the hall is not small, there are still many people. Moreover, the direction of the arrow shooting is exactly the direction of Zhang Yi and A Dou. If A Dou accidentally hurts, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhang Yi swept forward the corner of his eyes and just found that Huang Chong bent his bow and arrows again, and three arrows were laid on the bow.

"Are you one bow and three arrows? Has General Huang learned his master's skill?" Zhang Yi murmured to himself, with a hint of envy in his tone. These three arrows are Huang Zhong's skill and are also Huang Zhong's secret. Huang Chong is Huang Zhong's adopted son, so he was fortunate to learn this trick. In this hall, Huang Chong's dare to shoot arrows also shows that he has strong confidence.

Three more arrows flew out and shot three assassins again. Zhang Yi also took advantage of this skill to draw out his sword. Then a cold light flashed past and cut one of the assassins down in a pool of blood.

"Oh..." Adou shook his head helplessly. Zhang Yi was afraid that someone would hurt Adou, so he killed him. Huang Chong was also the key to the assassin's attack every arrow. If this continues, he may not be able to keep a living person.

"Zhang Yi, Huang Chong, leave a living!" A Dou said.

"After the order." Huang Chong changed the trajectory of the archery as soon as possible and began to aim at the assassin's legs.

In this case, if these assassins suddenly rebelled, it would be enough to kill A Dou, causing some danger to A Dou. Unfortunately, these assassins were discovered by Pang Tong in advance and lost their suddenness, allowing Huang Chong to lead the guards to rush in. Once Huang Chong's magical arrow was used, the speed of killing the enemy with one bow and three arrows was too fast, and these assassins could not rush to A Dou's approach.

In a blink of an eye, twenty assassins died and injured, and the ten women were also arrested by Huang Chong and others.

Adou looked at the Liaodong envoy with a blue face, and the envoy looked at him at a loss. The sudden assassination scared the Liaodong envoy silly.

"This, what's going on..." The messenger opened his mouth and looked at the corpses on the ground blankly. One of them fell not far away from the messenger. Blood had even flowed to the messenger's feet and penetrated into the socks, but the messenger was confused.

"What's going on?" Adou sneered: "What do you think is going on? Everyone comes to arrest me!"

"Abide by the order." Huang Chong led his men to rush forward and arrested all the people from Liaodong.

Next to him, a playful smile appeared on Pang Tong's face, and then he secretly looked at A Dou. Seeing that A Dou was angry, Pang Tong shook his head slightly and swallowed the words back.

...

"This Gongsun Yuan actually dares to send someone to assassinate me!" A Dou's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and it can be seen that A Dou was tempted to kill.

Pang Tong took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this assassin was probably not sent by Gongsun Yuan."

"Isn't Gongsun Yuan?" A Dou took a deep breath and then calmed down. At this time, A Dou also discovered that there were many suspicious points in the assassination.

Seeing A Dou calm down, Pang Tong continued, "Your Majesty, if Gongsun Yuan wants to assassinate Your Majesty, it is the stupidest move to send assassins to disguise the envoy. Gongsun Yuan is far away in Liaodong and has no interest in us for the time being. Assassinating Your Majesty will not benefit him at all, but will arouse Your Majesty's anger. How could Gongsun Yuan do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself!"

"Well, the teacher means that someone blames Gongsun Yuan?" A Dou asked.

"Yes, but not all. It is very likely that someone wants to blame Gongsun Yuan, or it is also possible that someone really wants to assassinate His Majesty, so it is just taking advantage of the opportunity of Gongsun Yuan's envoy to enter the capital."

"Speaking of this, thanks to the teacher's discovery in advance. Teacher, how did you realize that these people are assassins?" A Dou asked again.
