Chapter 246
Chapter 246
Zhao Shan turned her head and looked out the window, her face changed drastically.
There are more than a dozen secret guards of the Zhao family in this courtyard, and with the addition of many guards, they can definitely do everything without blind spots. In this case, someone could sneak in secretly. There is such a master among the three families of Chen, Shen and Qing.
Outside the door, countless subtle footsteps sounded, and soon disappeared again.
It wasn't until everything quieted down that Zhao Shan asked:
"Brother Chen, what's going on?"
"Just now I suddenly heard the sound of weapons being dropped, coming from the other side of the courtyard wall. It seems that an assassin has sneaked in. But don't worry, with the number of our guards, no one can enter the east courtyard unless they forcefully break in. among.”
Zhao Chen was halfway through speaking when he suddenly realized something was wrong and frowned slightly.
"It's a bit strange to say that the other party was able to sneak into the winter courtyard quietly. He must be very capable. Why would he make such a low-level mistake?"
"Being able to enter the Winter Courtyard shows that the concealment skills are at least on the same level as him, but making the mistake of dropping the weapon is impossible even if you think about it."
"Maybe it was a mistake."
Zhao Shan's martial arts skills were not very high, and she didn't know much about this aspect, so she could only answer vaguely.
"may be."
Zhao Chen nodded slightly, but his eyes clearly showed disbelief.
In this dark night, a dark figure flashed out and escaped from the Document Inn. There were still several people chasing behind him, but they all stopped when they reached the courtyard gate.
The black shadow fled all the way, and finally got into a dark corner. Seeing that no one was chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the extra wound on his arm, the man in black spat, his eyes full of cruelty.
"Damn it."
He is the number one killer in Da Gan, codenamed Shadow. This time, he was hired by the Shen family to assassinate Lin Xiaofan.
The Shen family said they would wait until the day of the banquet before taking action, but he thought it was not that troublesome, so he just sneaked into the inn and killed Lin Xiaofan.
Thinking about it, he took advantage of the night and walked into the winter courtyard of the clerical inn. As a result, as soon as he climbed onto the courtyard wall, before he could observe the situation, a bow and arrow attacked him.
He reacted in time and dodged the blow, but a hidden weapon on his body was shot to the ground, exposing his whereabouts.
He looked towards the place where the bow and arrow struck. In the dark night, he only saw two black shadows disappearing on the roof of the next door, and then he was surrounded.
"It's best not to let me find out who it is, otherwise, I will cut you into pieces!"
Shadow said viciously.
He is always licking blood with the tip of his knife, which is not a good thing. Hundreds of people die in his hands every year.
In a room at the Document Inn, two figures stood in front of the window, looking at the scene in front of them.
"Unexpectedly, the Chen, Shen, and Qing families made a big move this time, and even Shadow was invited over."
One of the women spoke with a playful smile on her face.
"Feng Liu, I've told you several times. With the Zhao family's defense, it's impossible for Shadow to successfully assassinate you. You still have to shoot that arrow. Why are you so afraid of Lin Xiaofan's death?"
The two of them are the little witch Fengsheng who came all the way from the capital.
They have been in the city for ten days. During these days, the two of them have been exploring the terrain near Lake Lifeng every day to prepare for the day of the banquet.
Fengsheng snorted coldly:
"I just can't stand this kind of gutter rat, and I just want to kill him to eliminate harm to the people. Who would have thought that he can run very fast."
Shadow is usually fond of killing, and he has killed no less than a hundred people under his command, and is punished by everyone in Daqian.
"Hey, when did Feng Liu have such a sense of justice? Is this still the Feng Liu I know?"
The look of amusement on the little witch's face became more and more intense, and she spoke in a strange tone.
Hearing this, Fengsheng looked a little embarrassed and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going?"
The little witch asked with some confusion.
"Wash your face."
Fengsheng replied coldly.
"You haven't even taken off the mask on your face."
The little witch chuckled and said.
When Fengsheng heard this, he didn't answer, but just quickened his pace to leave.
……
Time flew by, and eight days passed in the blink of an eye.
And tomorrow is when the banquet begins.
Countless murderous people gathered in the Qing family's meeting hall, making the atmosphere very deserted.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Hun, who was the backbone of this operation, asked:
"Everyone, according to the report from the spies, Zhao Chen and Jian Bai are here. Do we want to take action tomorrow?"
This time there are four people from the Chen family, Chen Hun, Chen Ziyang, Chen Tianheng and Chen Xue. The Shen family, Shen Tianyu and the hired shadow, and the representative of the Qing family is Qing Qu, the head of the Qing family.
Among the three families, the Chen family is the leader. Among them, Chen Tianheng and Chen Xue were considered juniors, while Chen Ziyang was purely a war madman. Therefore, Chen Hun became the backbone of this operation, and everything was under his command.
"Fight! Just two juniors, what are you afraid of!"
Chen Ziyang was the first to speak, with disdain in his eyes.
In his opinion, the family sent him to assassinate Lin Xiaofan and Guan Fengxue, which was completely overqualified.
"Kill them all!"
A hoarse voice sounded, it was Shadow.
Shadow wore a grimace mask on his face, and was completely covered in black clothes, only revealing a pair of hands that were all around him.
In his opinion, neither Jian Bai nor Zhao Chen was a threat. At that time, as long as the situation becomes chaotic, he will have the opportunity to take action.
The only person who made him feel threatened was the person who attacked him that day.
Being able to spot his location from dozens of meters away, this person's existence is definitely a big threat to him.
"Try it."
Shen Tianyu also spoke slowly. Once he can capture Lin Xiaofan, he will be able to dominate Qingzhou's lime industry.
Seeing that both families had expressed their stance, everyone turned their attention to Qing Qu, the head of the Qing family.
"Everyone, I will fully cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."
Qingqu smiled and said.
The few people present looked abnormal. He was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would turn into a cold corpse the next second.
"Since you all have no objections, tomorrow night, your people from the Qing family will be responsible for disrupting the city defense forces. Then, Ziyang, Tianheng, and Shen Tianyu, you three will bring your troops separately and take advantage of the chaos to take action against Lin Xiaofan. , Shadow, you are waiting for the opportunity."
Chen Hun opened his mouth and deployed.
In his opinion, this assassination was also a sure thing.
Most of the masters of the Zhao family are restrained in the capital, and only Zhao Chen can see them here, along with many guards.
"By the way, Ziyang, is there any news from the Jiang family and the housekeeper?"
Chen Ziyang shook his head and said:
"No reply from either family."
"It seems that neither family is willing to get involved in this matter. If we give them a chance to get on our lap, they won't be able to grasp it."
Chen Hun didn't care at all. There are no masters in these two families, and with or without them, the gap is not very big.
