Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 521 Assassin!

This is a short knife, reflecting the light and glowing with cold light.

After the cold light flickered, it drew an arc in the air and landed on Chen Zhi's neck. At the same time, there was a voice in his ear——

"Please sir, please don't act rashly, otherwise..."

"There are some mistakes in your steps," Chen Zhi suddenly said, interrupting the other party's voice, "The correct way is to keep the cards in your hand first, and then play them out when it's time to take them out. I'll answer I was suddenly threatened by you behind the house. Since I didn’t run away or make a fuss, you should have used words first to make me panic.”

His words made the man holding the sharp blade stunned on the spot. He obviously did not expect that Chen Zhi would say such a sentence, but after careful consideration, he felt that there was a certain truth in his words.

Taking advantage of the opponent's daze, Chen Zhi twisted his waist and moved his neck slightly. His body was as smooth as a loach, and he escaped from the threat of the dagger at the last moment.

The man holding the knife also came to his senses, thinking that Chen Zhi was about to escape, so he wanted to chase after him. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi on the opposite side waved his hand, and instead of rushing towards the door, he came to the Hu Chair. On the edge, he turned around and sat on it, and then said: "A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Your blade is next to me. It's hard to say anything. Why don't you slow down and come to me?" Stop and watch your movements. You have also practiced kung fu. If you are three or four steps away from me, if I make any changes, you can take action immediately. Isn't it simple and efficient?"

He sat down and faced the person, and through the light, he could clearly see his appearance.

This is a masked woman wearing a tight bodysuit and dark clothing.

She was said to be a woman not only because of her previous voice, but also because of her small stature, which only reached Chen Zhi's neck.

However, what caught Chen Zhi's attention the most was this woman's feet——

Her feet were bare. The tops of her feet were white, her toes were slender and her nails were crystal clear.

Just looking at these feet, Chen Zhi knew that this woman had spent a lot of time immersed in kung fu. Otherwise, walking and running on the ground with bare feet would have been rough and dirty, and would not be so clean and white.

The masked woman slowly approached Chen Zhi with alert eyes, and slowly raised the short knife in her hand, pointing at him.

"Don't be nervous," Chen Zhi pointed at himself, "Don't you see that I'm sitting here? If you want to threaten others, you have to wait until I want to run away before you show force, otherwise you will throw out all the threats at once. If something unexpected happens again, you won't be able to deal with it. To threaten others, the key is to gradually increase the fear of the person being threatened and make him gradually lose control. In this way, whether it is questioning or robbing, it can be done. Get twice the result with half the effort.”

The masked woman pondered for a moment, nodded subconsciously, but then thought of her role, glared at Chen Zhi again, deliberately lowered her voice and said: "Sir, please be honest, I'm here this time …”

"Are you from the Mo family?" Chen Zhi still didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and interrupted in the middle.

"How do you know?" The masked woman exclaimed subconsciously, but then she remembered her attire and quickly lowered her voice, the vigilance in her eyes growing even more.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous," Chen Zhi shook his head, "You are the one who has taken the initiative now. You see, you have a sharp blade in your hand and you have kung fu on your body. If I make any move, you can chop me down. Come here, as for your identity, I am just guessing, after all, there are not many people walking barefoot."

"Since that's the case, I'll go around in circles." The masked woman moved forward a few inches, deliberately creating an atmosphere of ready to take action at any time, "I came here this time because I heard that Mr. I would like to ask sir to take out one and give it to me..."

"Are you also here for the Tongdian?" Chen Zhi touched his chin lightly and said with a smile: "It seems that this step went more smoothly than I originally expected. It's just that these other people came to ask for it as a courtesy. Thoughtful, you come here with a knife, what is your intention? The Mohist family has not been banned by the imperial court, so why do you act like this? "

The masked woman seemed to have been hit hard by what she said, and said: "It's not your turn to discuss the work of our Mo family. Since you want my Mo family to help, don't you want to take out a Mohist treatise?"

Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "It turns out that your real purpose, although it is also the Tongdian, is specific to a book of Mohist treatises. From this, it seems that you must know the contents of the general outline of the Tongdian, and you must have some connections in Luoyang. But I know that I want the Mohist family to help me with things, so maybe it has something to do with the Mohist family organization in the south, otherwise it doesn’t make sense.”

Chen Zhi and the Mo family have already crossed paths.

In order to support Chen Zhi, the Chen family in Xiapi sent him two descendants of the Mohist family. One of them was named Gongshuhua, and his uncle Ma Si was a descendant of Ma Jun. So Chen Zhi let He wrote a letter and wrote it to his uncle, hoping to recruit this descendant of Ma Jun and the successor of Liu Hui.

During this period of time, the establishment of the paper mill has included some suggestions from the two Mo family members. However, the two of them were still familiar with the situation and did not participate in the field in person. Chen Zhi did not intend for them to waste their energy on these trivial matters and has not allocated them. work, but also prepared some things for them to read and ponder.

All kinds of information flashed through his mind, and Chen Zhi followed up: "Not many people know that I want to accept the Mo family, and the people who have access to this news are very limited. Since you are here, why not tell me If both parties are willing to cooperate, then what will a volume of ink treatise mean?"

Unexpectedly, the masked woman sneered and said in slightly hostile words: "These words of yours are meant to deceive those little Mohists who have not experienced much, but they cannot deceive me. I came here this time, in addition to asking for help." Take away the Mo Lun, and also take back the Fang Yuan Diagram that fell into your hands!"

Square and circle diagram?
Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes.

Of course he knew about this square and circle diagram. When the two Mohists Gongshu Hua and Meng Li took refuge in him, they honestly confessed that they had 21 family heirloom diagrams of equipment. To put it bluntly, they were mechanisms and machines. Structural design drawing.

Chen Zhi didn't attach much importance to this, because he had better substitutes and had many mechanical structures in his mind. But to the people of the Mo family, these things were extraordinary and represented inheritance and power.

"You know the Fang Yuan Tu, you are from the Mo family, and you have access to the general outline of the Tongdian. It seems that your origin is extraordinary. Are you related to Mr. Ma from the south? Are you here because of that letter?" Chen Zhi got enough information from the woman's mouth.The masked woman did not speak, but moved closer. She could also see that Chen Zhi did not intend to obey, and planned to follow Chen Zhi's instructions and make further threats.

But before he could make a move, Chen Zhi launched a flying kick!
This kick came quickly and urgently, and he was sitting on the chair, his upper body motionless, but that leg suddenly shot up like a long whip, and kicked the masked woman directly in the abdomen, kicking her instantly. He flew out, and then kicked her knife hand again, making a "click" sound. Naturally, the short knife could no longer be held and flew out of her hand.

Chen Zhi's right hand popped out like lightning, and he grasped the handle of the dagger. He seemed to bounce up from the seat and faced the masked woman. He raised the dagger and stabbed her head directly!

The masked woman was startled and subconsciously covered it with her hands, causing the door in front of her to open wide. Without any defense, Chen Zhi unceremoniously kicked out again, directly hitting the vital part of the chest, and kicked the woman out in the air!

The masked woman screamed miserably, barely maintaining her balance, but her whole body was trembling slightly. It was obvious that several heavy blows in a row had caused considerable damage to her.

When the storm here subsided, there was a noise outside the door.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the woman didn't care about anything else. She jumped up and rushed towards the door and window!

But before she could reach the window, she was blocked by a guard outside the window and had to retreat. However, with this retreat, the door and window opened, and Ran Zhan and others rushed in.

"What happened?"

"There are assassins!"

"Catch it!"

Amidst a burst of noise, these guards, led by Ran Zhan, surrounded the masked woman in a familiar way.

Just looking at this woman's appearance, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

"I know what you are thinking," Chen Zhi put the short knife on the table, shook his head and said, "If there is a threat, there is no distinction between men and women. Do you think that only men can hurt people? Wrong. Throughout the ages, women have been ruined. There are so many heroes in your hands, you must not underestimate a woman, this is the way to die!"

Ran Zhan and others nodded quickly.

Chen Zhi added: "This woman is from the Mo family. She is here to ask for books and should be treated with courtesy. However, she likes sharp weapons and will inevitably hurt people. Let's keep her in custody for the time being. She is good at wine and food. Don’t neglect your hospitality.”

Ran Zhan and others savored it for a moment and understood what Chen Zhi meant, which was to put the woman under house arrest, so they nodded in agreement, tied up the masked woman without any ceremony, and escorted her out the door.

"Chen Zhi! Just wait! How can you be a gentleman if you do something so cruel? Treat me..."

"You should bow your head when you are in trouble," Chen Zhi said, his smile reduced and his eyes turned cold and stern.

The masked woman was immediately irritated by that gaze.

"I keep you, not because you are a woman, but because you are from the Momen. Men and women are treated equally in Chen's eyes. How can I be a dangerous person to hit you? Besides, you are an assassin. You broke into the governor's house without permission and killed everyone on the spot. No one can say anything, just stay calm and calm down for now, I will have something to ask you in a few days!"

After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he stopped looking at her.

"Hmph!" The masked woman realized that she was showing signs of weakness, snorted coldly, suppressed the anger in her heart, and left with several nursing staff, with a look of hatred on her face when she left.

But Ran Zhan came to apologize.

"What's your crime? I asked you to read and study here, not to be a nurse. You don't have to shoulder such responsibilities in the future." Chen Zhi said some words of comfort and asked Ran Zhan to go back and rest.

He pondered to himself.

"It seems like there's going to be some movement over there from Mo Zhe, so I should make some preparations, eh?"

As he thought about it, his expression moved slightly.

"There is new news from Zishu, which is interesting."
