A sword pierced the heart of the man guarding the window. Chen Rui twisted his body in the air. At the moment he was about to fall, he put one hand on the window sill, casually swung his legs upward, and flew steadily from the window. Got in.
There were several people in the house. Seeing that their companions outside the window were killed, they were about to rush up with weapons, but Chen Rui shot in like a cannonball and kicked one of them away.
As soon as the body landed, the long sword in Chen Rui's hand drew an arc of light to the side.
An arc of light flashed, and blood spurted from the necks of the two men carrying single swords, and they fell down.
A man held the handle of a knife with both hands. Seeing that Chen Rui's back was turned to him, he raised the knife and struck Chen Rui on the back of the head.
When he heard the wind blowing behind his head, Chen Rui didn't look back. He flipped his wrist and stabbed the long sword backwards from under his armpit. Just as the single sword was about to hit the back of his head, the long sword pierced hard into that spot. A man's chest.
From the moment he jumped into the house to when Chen Rui killed all the men in the house, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a blink of an eye.
Looking at the corpses of the party members on the ground, Chen Rui walked to the window, held one hand on the window sill, and slowly shook his head towards Yang Rong who was standing on the street below.
Seeing him shaking his head, Yang Rong frowned slightly.
These people are not party members!
Then why did they attack the officers and soldiers who went to investigate the party members?
Yang Rong, who was still a little skeptical about the matter, waved behind him and led the officers and soldiers of the Night Sword Battalion into the restaurant and walked straight up to the second floor of the restaurant.
The private room where Chen Rui killed several men was at the corner of the restaurant. After leading the officers and soldiers of the Ye Ci Battalion to the second floor of the restaurant, Yang Rong, watched by a group of panicked diners, had the door of the private room kicked open and walked into the house.
Except for Chen Rui, there was no one alive in the house.
Entering the room, Yang Rong squatted next to a corpse and looked at the corpse's face carefully. He found that the skin of the corpse was not as rough as the Dangxiang people, but almost as delicate as the skin of the Han people.
After inspecting several corpses in succession, Yang Rong stood up, waved to Chen Rui, and said to him: "Let's go! Go to Prince Shou's Mansion to have a look!"
After leaving the restaurant, everyone went straight towards Prince Shou's Mansion without any delay.
The assassins who previously attacked Prince Shou's Mansion are now placed in the corner of the front yard of the mansion by the guards. The reason why they were not carried away was because the investigation had not been officially launched, and Zhao Dechang did not allow the guards to dispose of the bodies without authorization.
Zhao Dechang was not in the mansion at the moment. Yang Rong informed the officials who were investigating the assassination in Prince Shou's mansion. After getting the promise, he took Chen Rui and others to the corpse.
The soldiers brought out from Kaifeng Mansion were still searching for any suspicious people or things on the streets under the leadership of two soldiers from the Night Assault Battalion.
However, after Chen Rui killed the Han people who were hiding in the restaurant and attacking the officers and soldiers, Yang Rong felt that this matter might not be as simple as he imagined.
If Han people are involved, there must be someone behind the scenes.
"If the mastermind behind this is not found out, the whole thing will only become more hazy. It is simply impossible to investigate the murder of the two princes.
After checking the corpses one by one, Yang Rong found that most of the corpses were Han Chinese, with only a few party members, who seemed to have come to direct the progress of the entire attack.
"Immediately tell the city gate authorities that no one is allowed to enter or leave Tokyo City for three days, including Han Chinese!" After inspecting the corpse, Yang Rong stood up and said to an officer and soldier of the Night Assassin Battalion behind him: "Let them search all the people passing through the city. Anyone who comes to the door with a large amount of banknotes, silver, yellow scarves or weapons will be detained!"
"Yes!" The soldier responded, turned around and ran out of Prince Shou's Mansion, borrowed a fast horse from Prince Shou's Mansion, and quickly delivered Yang Rong's orders to various gates in Tokyo City.
"This matter is a bit complicated!" Yang Rong said to Chen Rui as he and Chen Rui walked side by side towards the gate of Prince Shou's Mansion: "Do you still remember the killer who didn't kill me in Yangwu before?"
"Sir, you mean?" Hearing Yang Rong mention the killer, Chen Rui frowned slightly and asked him half a question. Although the second half of the sentence was not asked out loud, anyone could imagine what he wanted to ask. What.
Yang Rong nodded and walked towards the street while saying to Chen Rui: "This man is very powerful in martial arts, and it can be said that he is not inferior to you. Moreover, he is extremely reluctant to do things for foreigners, so he can be regarded as a good man. But Why doesn¡¯t he want to reveal the person behind the scenes? Don¡¯t you think this matter is a bit strange?¡±
"What do you mean, sir, is that the person behind this person is not a party member?" Although Yang Rong didn't directly explain what he wanted to say, Chen Rui had been following him for a long time after all.??, why couldn't he understand the meaning of his words, so he hurriedly asked him: "Sir, if this happens, wouldn't this matter become a little complicated?"
"Exactly!" Yang Rong raised his head and looked at the sky, let out a long sigh, and said to Chen Rui: "I'm afraid the death of the two princes will be of some benefit to someone. And I sent someone to protect His Royal Highness Shou Wang. The brothers in the Night Assassin Camp also said that when the assassins and the guards were inextricably killed, the assassin who had wanted to assassinate me earlier came forward to help them kill all the remaining assassins."
Having said this, Yang Rong took a long breath and said as if to himself: "Who is this person? What exactly does he want to do, I am really puzzled!"
"It would be great if we could meet him again!" Chen Rui nodded and said to Yang Rong: "If I see him next time, I will definitely keep him."
"You don't need to stay, I'm here!" As soon as Chen Rui finished speaking, a calm voice came from the street corner not far ahead.
Hearing the voices, Yang Rong and Chen Rui quickly turned their attention there, and saw the assassin who had had a chance in Yangwu before but never made a move against Yang Rong walking out of an alley.
The assassin carried a long sword with a pitch-black handle behind him. He walked to a place about ten steps away from Yang Rong. He clasped his hands in his fists, bowed slightly and saluted Yang Rong, and said to him: "General Yang, you have If you say anything, let the common people stand here and let the general ask questions. If you stand too close, I¡¯m afraid the general will feel uneasy."
The assassin suddenly came out from the corner of the street. The soldiers of the Night Assassin Battalion who followed Yang Rong were all taken aback. They quickly drew their swords and formed a circle to block Yang Rong behind them.
"If he wanted to kill me, I would have been dead long ago!" Yang Rong waved his hands to the soldiers of the Night Assassin Battalion who were blocking the front, and Yang Rong walked towards the assassin with his feet raised. Seeing him walking towards the assassin, Chen Rui quickly followed. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
