The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 97

[Chapter 97 Meeting the Assassin Again]

Again Fang Xiu walked out of the house. It was dawn, and the sun was rising, casting a golden light that was dazzling.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, feeling a little dazed.

At this moment, he seemed to understand why this girl Yang chose to perform in Goulan instead of committing herself to a brothel.

The southwest is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. Come to think of it, she has also been performing arts all the way to the capital.

This perseverance is extremely rare for a good-looking woman.

It’s a pity that

Fang Xiu is not a Holy Mother person. This emotion is just for the Beijing Grand Theater.

An excellent top talent was gone in the blink of an eye.

If he were to find someone else, he would probably have to spend a lot of money to look for someone else in the major brothels in the capital. It is not known how much energy and talk would be spent during this process.

Doing business is

so difficult. Just as he was feeling emotional, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: “Fang Xiu.”

When he looked back, it turned out to be that guy Wu Yi.

Fang Xiu looked at him with confusion on his face and asked, “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be on duty in the palace?”

Wu Yi waved his hand, moved a chair casually, and sat down in the yard. He said angrily: “Don’t mention it. Yesterday, I was training soldiers in the parade ground. Suddenly a servant came to the palace and ran to the palace gate, saying that he wanted to find me for something important.

I thought about it and found that there was nothing important. I went to see him, but who knows, just a few steps out of the palace gate, three or four masked assassins suddenly appeared, holding long swords in their hands and stabbing me randomly.

Fortunately, I have practiced martial arts for a few days and my reactions are quick. , before they formed an encirclement, they ran back to the palace, otherwise, they might have been told where they were!”

After he said this, he swallowed and seemed to be in shock.

Fang Xiu was shocked.

Wu Yi actually encountered an assassin?

Moreover, it was still in front of the palace. Who could have such courage?

Assassinating a court minister in front of the palace gate is a serious crime. If the emperor is angry, it may not be impossible to kill the nine tribes.

Could the person behind this be crazy?

Wu Yi paused and continued: “After I reported the matter to the general, the general allowed me to rest for ten days. On the way back to the house, I met Liu Zizheng and the others and chatted for a while.

Unexpectedly, they also suffered the same fate .

I was attacked by an assassin, almost on the same day,

but it was lucky that the assassin did not succeed. Then I suddenly thought of you, so I came to see you early this morning. I was relieved to see that you were fine. “

Liu Zi .

It was Wei Guogong’s second son, who was a few years older than Fang Xiu and others. He participated in the school review three years ago, got the position of school captain, and was on duty in the same camp as Wu Yi.

Suddenly, the heirs of several heavyweight martial artists in the capital were all assassinated. This incident was no less than throwing a huge boulder into a calm lake.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he fell into deep contemplation.

After a long time, he raised his eyes, looked at Wu Yi, and asked: “When did you encounter the assassin?”

Wu Yi said angrily: “The situation was critical at that time, who still remembers this?” Fang

Xiu said: “Approximate time , I remember something after all.”

Wu Yi saw his solemn expression, so he lowered his head and thought about it carefully.

After a while, he replied: “I remember that the sun had just set in the west at that time. The approximate time should be at Youshi.” Fang Xiu asked again

at Youshi

: “Where are Liu Zizheng and the others?”

This time, Wu Yi answered definitely: “Same as me.”

After receiving this answer, Fang Xiu fell silent again.

From this point of view, the assassins who assassinated Wu Yi and the others were not necessarily the same people as the assassins who assassinated him.

However, there is really no relationship between the two, is it just a coincidence?

Fang Xiu felt that his mind was in a mess. He waved his hand and said, “To celebrate your survival, I will give you a banquet in Chunfeng Tower.” In

Chunfeng Tower, somewhere in a special private room.

Wu Yi picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.

In the past, he always poured cup after cup of wine into his mouth, but since he learned the lesson from last time, he never dares to do so again.

Even though he knew he was not drunk, his drinking attitude was much more elegant than before.

Fang Xiu looked at him and wanted to ask some more details about the assassin. After thinking about it, he decided to calm him down first and then ask.

Wu Yi seemed to see that he was worried, waved his hand, and said very grandly: “If you have any questions, just ask, a little assassin won’t scare me.”

If Fang Xiu hadn’t seen him look so lost before, Seeing him like this now, maybe he would believe it.

However, since he himself has spoken, there is no reason not to ask.

Fang Xiu looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “Do you remember the appearance and attire of those assassins?”

Wu Yi thought for a while and replied, “I just remember that they were dressed in black, they were all very strong, and they stretched out their hands. He was agile and retreated immediately when he saw that the attack was unsuccessful, without any hesitation. He is definitely a well-trained warrior!”

Speaking of this, his face showed a dazed look, as if he had recalled something terrifying.

Clearly, the assassins had left a deep impression on him.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he fell into deep thought.

The female assassin who assassinated him was dressed the same as ordinary women, and she did not hide her whereabouts.

When the assassination attempt failed and he knew there was no hope, he did not retreat. Instead, he continued to fight with Bai Xiaochun, trying to find an opportunity to assassinate him.

Obviously, there is no similarity in the way the two move.

Combined with the time Wu Yi described before, Fang Xiu was almost certain that the female assassin was not the same person as the assassins who assassinated those Wu Xun.

However, this also creates a new problem.

Why didn’t the assassins who assassinated Wu Yi and others target themselves?

Although compared with Wu Yi and Liu Zizheng, my cheap father’s title is inferior.

But no matter what, he is also the Dingyuan General of the imperial court. He is one of the nine important generals and holds military power.

And he is his only son.

Due to emotions and reasons, the person behind the assassins had no reason to let him go.

What is the reason for all this?

It seems that only by asking Liu Zizheng and getting more information from the assassin can we deduce it.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu looked at Wu Yi and asked, “How is your relationship with Liu Zizheng?”

Wu Yi was eating vegetables. Hearing this, he raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said, “Why are you asking this?”

Fang Xiu did not hide anything from him and replied, “There is something I want to ask him.”

“Is it about the assassin?”

Wu Yi asked again.

Fang Xiu nodded.

Wu Yi thought for a while and said: “We are just acquaintances. He is just a school captain. You are the Zuo Zhonglang General of the Yulin Guards and his superior officer.

If you have any questions, ask him when you are on duty. He It’s impossible not to answer truthfully.”
