Chapter 160 Assassin Zhao Ji

He walked outside the house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A slightly older middle-aged voice asked from inside the house.

"Me." Chen Xun replied in a low voice, making him appear older.

I don’t know who the person inside heard it, or whether the door would open if he answered like this. Anyway, after Chen Xun answered, the door was opened from the inside.

"What are your orders?..." The middle-aged man said as he opened the door. When the door opened wide, he saw an iron man standing outside the door. He was choked up and couldn't say the next words.

The short knife was placed on his neck, and the sharp blade immediately made his hair stand on end.

"Don't scream, go in and talk." Chen Xun ordered.

How could a Han Chinese who could survive under the Jinren's sword and still live in a single room be a fool? The middle-aged man pursed his lips, backed away without saying a word, and led Chen Xun into the room.

Chen Xun closed the door with his left hand, and the room became completely dark again. Only the moonlight from outside filtered through the crack of the door, and the outline of Chen Xun's body could be vaguely seen.

Chen Xun's eyesight was better, and he could barely see the middle-aged man's face.

"If a hero needs anything, just ask, I will do my best."

Chen Xun was speechless after hearing this. It was precisely because there were so many capable people in the Northern Song Dynasty who "knew current affairs, knew how to advance and retreat, and took good care of themselves" that they were ravaged by the small Jin Kingdom.

"Which palace does the official family live in?" Chen Xun asked directly.

"The officials live in the front hall, which is spacious." The middle-aged man replied without any hesitation.

Chen Xun now suspected that this person might not be from the Song Dynasty, but a Han from the North. He didn't pay much attention to the safety of the official family. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell the difference between the accents in the north.

The short knife passed by, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground holding his neck.

If he is from the Song Dynasty and has no loyalty to the official family at all, he should be damned.If he were a golden man, he would deserve to die even more.

After wiping the short knife on his clothes and inserting it back into his calf, Chen Xun opened the door and walked out, heading towards the front hall.

Along the way, no one was seen moving outside the house. It was not until I reached the front hall that I saw a guard on duty.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Chen Xun gently pulled out the Mo Dao from his back, held the knife in both hands and quickly rushed out of the corner towards the golden guard at the door of the front hall.

All the guards were dozing against the pillars, and only one of them stared blankly at the open space outside the front hall with his eyes open.

Suddenly, he saw an "iron" man rushing towards him. The man's eyes widened suddenly, and just as he was about to shout, the tip of Chen Xun's Mo Dao had already been poured into his mouth.

bass!Mo Dao pulled out, bringing out a stream of blood, and then swiped to the right, the blade accurately slit the necks of the two guards on the right.

The three guards on the left were finally awakened. The conditioned reflexes developed over the years of fighting made them draw out the long knives at their waists before looking at Chen Xun.

When he saw it, he was frightened for a moment.

The enemy who suddenly appeared in front of him was like a Shura in hell. His whole body was covered with iron. Only his eyes had a small long hole (the nostrils were too small to see), and his black pupils reflected the light of the torch.

In the eyes of the three, under the light of the flickering torches, the "Sura" in front of them was a little erratic, as if in a dream!
This stunned look directly caused Chen Xun to kill two people again, leaving only the last person alive.

The man raised his knife and pointed it at Chen Xun. He braced his legs and said, "Who is coming..."

Whoosh!A short crossbow arrow was directly inserted into his mouth and pierced out from the back of his head, and the rest of the words could not be uttered.

Chen Xun took out a crossbow arrow from the quiver on his waist, strung the crossbow, then opened the front hall door and walked in.A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Zhao Ji is in his current situation, the lights in the hall are still bright at this time.

The fight outside just now had awakened Zhao Ji in the palace. He had not been able to sleep well in the past few months and would be awakened by the slightest movement.

He stood up and looked at the door of the palace. A giant walked in from the outside. He could vaguely see a golden man lying on the ground outside the palace guarding him.

"They must not be asleep." Zhao Ji thought to himself. Realizing that something big was going to happen tonight, he immediately asked, "Are you?"

"Zhao Ji?" Chen Xun asked.

At this moment, someone seemed to have broken in outside Jinglingdong Palace, and the noise gradually became louder.

"It's me." Zhao Ji knew that denying it at this time would have no effect. The clothes he wore and the patterns he embroidered were enough to prove his identity.

Chen Xun was not surprised by Zhao Ji's "approachable" reply. In this era, only in formal situations would the Zhao family call themselves "I"; in informal situations, they would all call themselves "I", which is no different from talking to the public.

"I've always had a question, and I wonder if you can answer it for me?" The villain died because he talked too much, but Chen Xun really wanted to know, especially the answer that was answered by the person being asked.

"You ask." Zhao Ji heard that Chen Xun didn't use the honorific, knowing that the person who came was not good, so he didn't dare to put on airs.

At this time, the Queen Mother also woke up, wrapped herself in a quilt, and looked at the two of them silently, not daring to say a word.

The experience during this period of time made her deeply realize that the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty was not absolutely noble. If it were not for the fact that she was Zhao Ji's first wife, she would have been given to the Jinren to pay for it.

"There are millions of King Qin's troops outside the city, and there are powerful generals such as Zhang Shuye inside the city. We can completely rely on Kaifeng City to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. Why did we give up so easily?" Chen Xun asked.

There are many explanations for this problem in later generations. Some people say that the Zhao Guan family's fear is in their genes and cannot be cured.Some people say that there are too few defenders in Kaifeng City and they cannot hold it.

But the latter didn't even consider that there were millions of people in Kaifeng City, how could there be no one there.

The small town of Taiyuan was defended for nearly a year, not to mention the capital Kaifeng.

"We can't defeat it. We have been unable to defeat the Liao Kingdom for so many years, and the Jin people easily destroyed the Liao Kingdom." Zhao Ji lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied after careful consideration: "Besides, if you can spend money to stop the war, why should you force it? spell?"

"Have you stopped?" Chen Xun got the answer and no longer wanted to listen to Zhao Ji's answer. His thoughts were too clear.

Zhao Ji, who was about to explain, saw the "giant" getting closer and closer, and suddenly panicked: "Wait a minute, let me explain in detail..."

puff!

The short knife was inserted directly into Zhao Ji's heart: "At least it's the face of us Han people, so I'll leave you a whole body."

"Ah!!!" The Queen Mother finally couldn't help but scream when she saw Chen Xun stabbing Zhao Ji to death.

Chen Xun looked at her, thinking about the fate she might encounter in the future. He turned the short knife around and handed the handle to her: "You are also the face of our Han people, don't be ruined by the Jin people."

The Queen Mother took the dagger with trembling hands.

Chen Xun stopped staying and rushed directly out of the hall.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw a large number of golden soldiers rushing towards the gate of Jinglingdong Palace.

"Ah!!" A high-pitched roar came from behind, followed by the sound of the blade entering flesh, and then there was no sound.
