Chapter 722: The Assassination from Altan
The northwest and the south are completely different in autumn.
In the south, autumn can feel like spring as long as there are no strong winds.
Even if there is wind, it is not as strong as the northwest.
The wind passed over the roof and came in through the gaps in the window frames. The roof made a whistling sound, and the window frames trembled slightly, making a slight clapping sound...
The bedroom was dim, and Jiang Qingzhi took a while to adjust himself before he could see the general outline of the room.
He had a sense of crisis, and the hair on his body stood on end.
It was with this premonition that he managed to avoid several ambushes and assassinations in South America.
After returning to China, he couldn't adapt to life there, but he couldn't find the reason.
At this moment Jiang Qingzhi found it.
Whenever a sense of crisis comes, his body will secrete various hormones...escape hormones. The hormones will make him excited, and that excitement will last for a long time.
Blood sugar spikes to provide energy for the body to respond.
The mind will be highly concentrated, and the feeling of forgetting everything is beautiful.
Suddenly there was a voice outside.
very light.
Jiang Qingzhi closed his eyes.
I felt it carefully with the sharpness of my five senses after waking up.
It's footsteps.
It was so soft that he wouldn't have heard it at all unless he listened consciously.
Where are the guards?
Where are the guards?
wrong!
Jiang Qingzhi heard the guards' movements.
It seems to be driving away something.
"Shh!" the guard said.
"Meow!"
The cat's sharp scream is so piercing that it makes people think of something in the darkness in the middle of the night.
"Go!" the guard raised his voice and walked over to drive them away.
It turned out to be a cat!
Jiang Qingzhi's body relaxed, but then tensed up again.
Behind the bedroom is the dressing area, which is also a small bathroom.
The winter in the northwest is cold. The owner of the house is a very particular person and doesn't want to defecate or urinate in the bedroom. How can he sleep if the whole house is filled with the smell of feces and urine?
It was cold outside the bedroom, so I made a changing area behind it.
Jiang Qingzhi heard a slight noise.
It's like a snake crawling.
It also seemed like someone was approaching slowly and tiptoe.
Jiang Qingzhi closed his eyes and recalled the structure of the locker room.
There are no doors, but there are windows.
In the front yard, the guards successfully drove away the cat.
It's considered doing my job well.
Cats are like tigers.
Keep tigers out of the front door, and the back door...
squeak!
There was a door between the dressing room and the bedroom, and at this moment the door suddenly made a sound.
Bang!
The entire door was kicked open by someone.
Then a dark shadow pounced on the big bed.
He moved closer and chopped at the bulging quilt with the long knife in his hand.
puff!
The long knife did not feel like it had hit anyone, and the black shadow turned around abruptly.
"Are you looking for me?"
Jiang Qingzhi's voice came from the corner.
"There's an assassin!" the guard exclaimed in the yard and then rushed over quickly.
The black shadow rushed towards Jiang Qingzhi without hesitation.
Jiang Qingzhi raised his hand calmly.
The black shadow's body flashed.
Bah!
The black shadow's body suddenly paused in the rapid flash, and then quickly retreated.
Bang!
There was a sound of a window being broken from behind.
A guard burst into the bedroom, "Uncle!"
"I'm fine!" Jiang Qingzhi stood at the end of the bed, smoke still coming out of the muzzle of the pistol in his hand.
"The assassin is behind!"
Sun Chonglou's voice came, "Master, Master!"
This kid... Jiang Qingzhi smiled, "I'm fine."
"Follow me to hunt down the assassin!" Sun Chonglou was furious.
The entire garrison was alarmed, and dozens of brave soldiers holding weapons began to search everywhere. Jiang Qingzhi ordered: "Don't alarm the outsiders."
"Yes." Mo Zhan came in and knelt down. "I failed in my duty. Please punish me, my lord."
"The assassin sneaked in from the backyard, and the guard on duty in the backyard is outside apologizing." Xu Wei also came.
"He's a good assassin who can evade the guards I trained." Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "In the face of a great war, I'll save the punishment for you."
"Yes." Mo Zhan stood up and went out to explain. Then the voice of the guard came from the yard, "Please rest assured, Master. If we can't catch the assassin, I will not be able to return to the capital."
Xu Wei said: "The only one who can take action at this time is Altan."
Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Altan is good at using spies, there must be spies lurking in the city. After the two defeats, especially the defeat and death of Lin Siyuan, Altan urgently needs good news to boost morale."
If Jiang Qingzhi were assassinated, Altan dared to say that he was 100% confident of winning this battle.
Even if Jiang Qingzhi hadn't died, he would have frightened the civil and military officials of Datong.
"An Da has a good plan." Jiang Qingzhi narrowed his eyes, "Go to sleep."
"Master, can you still sleep?" Xu Wei was a little surprised. "Many times, being able to sleep is a blessing." Jiang Qingzhi said.
When he was in South America in his previous life, the government forces had been besieging Jiang Qingzhi for a while. During that time, Jiang Qingzhi was like a stray dog and often had to move in the middle of the night.
So he developed the habit of falling asleep anytime and anywhere.
But as soon as he lay down, Jiang Qingzhi cursed: "You bastard! How the hell can I sleep like this?"
The door of the locker room was kicked away, the window was broken, and the wind kept blowing in from outside... Jiang Qingzhi felt much better, but he was still a little afraid of the cold.
Hey!
Jiang Qingzhi kept cursing and simply refused to sleep.
He got up, ground ink, and prepared to write a letter to his wife and also write a memorial to the Taoist priest.
What is lovesickness?
Jiang Qingzhi feels that after the novelty of the so-called love between men and women has passed, what remains is the understanding of life partners.
——The alleys in Datong are quite interesting. They look grey and stiff. But when you push open the door and go in, the atmosphere in the tavern is particularly warm and more down-to-earth than in the capital...
——I don’t know whether this baby will be a son or a daughter. I’m thinking about it being a son, but I also think a daughter would be nice too.
——If it was a son, I would teach him personally. If it was a daughter, I would pamper her and hold her in my hands...
Jiang Qingzhi looked up and closed his eyes, as if he saw two children running towards him.
This is the continuation of life!
In his memorial to the Taoist priest, Jiang Qingzhi introduced the current situation and analyzed several possibilities of a major war.
In the city, a dark shadow was running fast.
"over there!"
Sun Chonglou's voice came.
"Who is it?" Someone shouted from the right front, "Stop!"
A team of patrol sergeants shouted at the front of the street.
Sun Chonglou was overjoyed, "That's an assassin, stop him!"
"Bow and arrow..." the flag leader shouted.
Squeak!
The sound of the bowstring being pulled tight makes one's scalp tingle.
A row of long spears were held horizontally... In the capital, the people patrolling the city were the Wucheng Bingmasi. These people were very lazy and felt that carrying long spears was too tiring, so most of them only wore swords.
Under the light of the torch, the shadow's steps slowed down. He panted and turned around slowly.
Sun Chonglou rushed forward first, drew his sword, stomped his foot on the ground, and his huge body flew into the air.
A thick-backed sword, more than twice as thick and heavy as an ordinary long sword, came head-on.
The black shadow raised his knife to block.
With a clang, the black shadow retreated, and Sun Chonglou rushed forward as soon as he landed, slashing continuously with his long sword.
The black shadow blocked while moving to the left, where there were residential houses. Many people were awakened at the moment, children were crying, and adults were peeking out from behind the gate with various weapons in hand.
The sound of dogs barking continued and gradually spread throughout the city.
The black shadow approached a house and was about to crash into it, but Sun Chonglou's figure suddenly flashed and accelerated again in a seemingly impossible situation.
Bang!
As soon as the black shadow broke open the door, Sun Chonglou arrived.
With just one strike, the black shadow's long sword was cut in half. Then the thick-backed sword continued to slash across the black shadow's chest and abdomen.
The clothes were torn, revealing his skinny body.
There was a bloody spot on the lower abdomen, and bleeding continued to flow out.
The black shadow roared, and instead of retreating, he advanced and punched hard.
Sun Chonglou dropped his sword and actually met the attack with his fists.
"Shi Tou, are you stupid?" The archer Huang Bing, holding a longbow, thought that Sun Chonglou was really stupid.
Bah!
The two fists collided with each other, and the black shadow screamed. Sun Chonglou moved closer, grabbed the black shadow's wrist, and pulled him into his arms. Then he lowered his shoulders and bumped into the black shadow.
With a bang, the black shadow opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Sun Chonglou kicked the black shadow down, and two guards rushed over and held down the black shadow.
The shadow panted, and Sun Chonglou cursed: "You bastard, how dare you assassinate the young master? If I find your lair, I will kill your whole family!"
Sun Chonglou was not just saying that people like him were pure-minded and would say whatever they thought. In other words, if he found out the assassin's background, the assassin's entire family would basically be killed.
The dark figure was pinned to the ground and tied up with ropes, then two guards lifted him up.
At this time, the soldiers came over with torches.
Seeing that it was Jiang Qingzhi's guard, Xiaoqi saluted and said, "If there is anything I can do for you, please tell me. Also... I'm sorry to hear that you..."
Sun Chonglou saw the worry in Xiaoqi's eyes, so he said, "Master, it's alright!"
"God bless you." Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the other soldiers.
"Give me the torch!" Sun Chonglou took the torch and walked over, "Remove the black cloth from his face and let me see who he is!"
The assassin had a black cloth on his head, covering his entire head, leaving only his nostrils and eyes exposed.
Huang Bing grabbed the black cloth and pulled it upwards.
"It's you!"
Sun Chonglou was stunned.
Bald head, thin face, this assassin turned out to be Shan De.
Shan De laughed, "What a brave Asura you are. It's a pity that I can't defeat you. Otherwise, if I could kill you, I think Jiang Qingzhi would be furious."
"Stone!"
Before Shan De finished speaking, Huang Bing suddenly screamed.
Choking!
He drew his sword, turned around and swung it in one smooth motion...Sun Chonglou turned around.
Xiaoqi was standing behind him, still holding up his long sword ready to chop.
A streak of blood slowly seeped out from his forehead, along the bridge of his nose, lips, chin... chest and abdomen...
The eyeballs moved, and then the bloodstains suddenly expanded, and blood spurted down the forehead...
There was a hole in the chest and abdomen, and the internal organs rushed out...
When Shan De was brought to the garrison, Zhang Da and others also rushed over after hearing the news, and even Yan Song sent someone to inquire about the situation.
"Shan De?" Jiang Qingzhi narrowed his eyes. "Torture and interrogate."
"There is also a small flag that is attacking Shi Tou." Huang Bing whispered, glancing at Zhang Da.
There are actually Altan's men in the Datong army! ?
