Chapter 694 King Wu was killed
Under the cover of night, Chang'an City was unusually quiet.
The weather in April was a bit chilly at night, and the sky was pitch black without a single star.
On the streets in the south of the city, the buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, and the large manors and small houses are divided into two areas with clear distinctions.
Inside the Zhao State Villa, there was complete silence. Everyone was resting. Even the guards at the door were dozing off with their cheeks propped up.
At this moment, several dark shadows suddenly entered the courtyard and rushed towards the backyard quickly.
Unexpectedly, before they even got close to the backyard, an angry voice came from the front corridor: "Who are you? How dare you come here!"
The faces of several men in black changed drastically and they immediately rushed towards the man!
Under the cover of night, the Zhao soldier in charge of patrolling could see the gleaming sharp blade in the other party's hand.
"Oh no! There's an assassin!" the Zhao soldier shouted.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a man in black leaped up and slashed at him with a knife.
"Ah~"
With a scream, the Zhao soldier was hacked to death before he could react!
But it was this man's shouting that alarmed the other people in the manor, and many Zhao soldiers rushed out immediately.
"There are assassins!"
"Get them!"
"Quickly inform His Royal Highness Prince Wu!"
The Zhao soldiers fought off the black-clad assassins while reporting to the King of Wu.
The King of Wu was awakened by sudden noise outside while he was sleeping.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" King Wu shouted outside with a furious look on his face.
The soldier outside the house reported: "Your Majesty, there is an assassin!"
King Wu's face changed slightly. "There are assassins who want to kill me in Chang'an City. Humph, this is outrageous. Pass the order down. All these assassins must be captured!"
"Yes!"
At the command, many Zhao soldiers rushed to the front yard.
Although the murderous assassins were not numerous, they were very powerful. Although they were surrounded, they formed a circle, making it impossible for the Zhao soldiers to break in in a short time.
Although Zhao had a large number of soldiers, many of them were blocked behind and unable to go to join the battle.
Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, the Zhao soldiers in front kept falling down, and those behind rushed forward.
Amid screams, Zhao soldiers were constantly killed and black-clad assassins fell.
But at this moment, several dark shadows appeared in the backyard.
At this moment, most of the soldiers in the backyard rushed to the front yard for support. When they saw the men in black coming, their faces changed drastically.
"Protect the prince!"
"Oh no, we fell into a trap. They deliberately transferred our people to the front yard!"
"Stop them, I'll go call for help!"
The Zhao soldiers were not fools. They reacted quickly. They sent people to resist and notify the soldiers in the front yard to come for support.
But the number of this group of men in black was even greater than that in the front yard, with more than twenty people. Most of them entangled the Zhao soldiers, and two men in black took the opportunity to rush into the house.
King Wu, who was waiting for news in the house, heard the door being pushed open and couldn't help but get angry: "How dare you! You didn't get my permission..."
As he spoke, he turned around and saw clearly that the person coming was a man in black, not a soldier from the State of Zhao.
King Wu's face changed drastically: "Who... who are you, why... why are you attacking me?"
The black-clad man on the left sneered: "When you get to the underworld, go ask the King of Hell yourself!"
He swung the sharp blade in his hand and stabbed straight at King Wu.
But the King of Wu was no ordinary man. He snorted coldly and turned around to avoid the knife.
But at this moment, another man in black rushed up and chopped him hard on the back with a sharp blade.
"Stab~"
The sharp blade cut a hole in the mouth, and blood splashed out along the wound.
"Ah~" King Wu screamed, but ignored the pain and turned around and rushed out of the house.
Unexpectedly, the man in black sneered, raised the sharp blade in his hand and threw it towards King Wu.
"Whoosh~"
"Pfft~"
The sharp blade pierced his chest, and the King of Wu's body was carried out of the house.
"Ah...King Wu, Your Highness King Wu!"
"Damn it! You actually killed the King of Wu!"
"Kill them and avenge King Wu!"
The angry Zhao soldiers rushed towards the men in black frantically, but they were few in number and their martial arts were not as good as theirs, so they were killed in just a moment.
Afterwards, a man in black cut off the King of Wu's head with a sharp blade and rushed to the front yard carrying the head.
At this moment, more than a dozen men in black in the front yard had been killed, leaving only three.
Just as the Zhao soldiers were preparing to capture the three men in one fell swoop, a dark shadow flew over.
It rolled to the ground, and in the light of the torches, everyone could see clearly that it was actually a human head.
"This... this is the head of His Royal Highness the King of Wu!" A Zhao soldier recognized the head.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Zhao soldiers were in an uproar.
Their King of Wu has been killed, so why fight again?
Just when everyone was frightened, the men in black from the backyard rushed in and immediately killed the Zhao soldiers who spoke coldly and forced them to retreat step by step.
By the time the Zhao soldiers reacted and prepared to counterattack, the men in black had already rescued their companions, jumped over the courtyard wall, and disappeared into the night.
From the time the man in black appeared to the time he killed King Wu and finally rescued people, the entire process took no more than three quarters of an hour!
In such a short time, the city defense camp had no time to react.
When the soldiers from the city defense camp arrived, all they saw was the head and body of King Wu.
The killing of an envoy was a huge matter. The commander of the city defense camp did not dare to neglect it and immediately reported the matter to Huo Quji.
It was Huo Quji who was responsible for receiving the foreign envoys this time. Now that something has happened, Huo Quji naturally has to deal with it.
Upon learning that the King of Wu had been killed, Huo Quji dared not hide it. After ordering the city defense camp to close the city gates, he immediately rushed to the palace.
At this moment, the sky was just getting light and it was almost the morning hour.
Liu Che, who had been waiting for news all night, was resting in the hall when suddenly a voice came from outside the hall:
"Your Majesty, something has happened!"
Liu Che, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the noise, and an unhappy look appeared on his face: "What made the Champion Marquis so panicked? Come in and tell me!"
After getting permission, Huo Qubing pushed the door open and walked in.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Tell me, what happened to make you, a brave warrior on the battlefield, so panicked?"
Liu Che, who had already stood up, asked calmly while putting on his clothes.
In his opinion, nothing big would happen in Chang'an City now, so he didn't care about it.
But Huo Quji said solemnly: "Your Majesty, King Wu of Zhao was killed, and even his head was cut off!"
Liu Che, who was getting dressed, paused when he heard this. He turned to look at Huo Quji in disbelief and asked, "Who did you say was killed?"
"King Wu of Zhao!" Huo Quji answered with certainty.
Liu Che's face was extremely ugly: "How could the King of Wu be killed? Who killed him and cut off his cell phone?"
Huo Quji thought for a moment and whispered, "Your Majesty, after Chu Ning killed Cao Zhi last night, the King of Wu mocked him. It was Chu Ning who looked at the King of Chu with murderous intent!"
Liu Che narrowed his eyes and a cold look flashed across his face: "You mean Chu Ning did it?"
"This... this possibility cannot be ruled out!"
"In that case, I will summon the envoys from all countries to come to my court. I want to get to the bottom of this matter!"
