Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 232 Catastrophe
"How can a dead person have a chance to know?"

Hearing this meaningful sentence, Liu Ao's eyes shot a cold light, he looked at Zhu Yin with a gloomy smile, "I didn't expect you to be quite courageous, I thought you were just a flatterer , from this point of view, there are also some ruthless methods."

Zhu Yin said humbly, "My lord praised you, but the villain just wanted to share his worries."

He walked to the back of the desk and sat down, Liu Ao looked at Zhu Yin and thought in his heart, assassinating Lu Huaiqi is not a simple matter, if any mistakes are made, the consequences may not be as simple as losing his head.

Once he decided to kill Lu Huaiqi, he couldn't look back.

"Zhu Yin, since you have come up with this idea, then I will leave this matter to you."

This was exactly the answer Zhu Yin wanted to hear, so he naturally agreed, "Don't worry, the city lord, after this matter is completed, you can rest easy." After he finished speaking, Liu Ao showed a smug expression on his face.

"It's just that if you want to hire a top killer, you need a lot of money."

Liu Ao wanted to kill Lu Huaiqi so as to keep his position as city lord, so he would not care about these external things, so he readily agreed.

Zhu Yin lowered his head, hiding the plotting light in his eyes.

In the early morning of the second day, Lu Huaiqi left Wuliu City with Qin Xin, Ningchi and the other elite troops, and continued to head for Binzhou.

The sky on this day was a bit gloomy, with black clouds covering the sky, and the air was hot and stuffy.

The young general Qin Xin looked up at the sky, sweat dripped down his cheeks, his heavy armor was like an impenetrable iron sheet in this kind of weather, tightly wrapped around his body, making it hard to breathe.

He was secretly melancholy. He was not afraid of the harsh weather, but only worried that he would not be able to reach Binzhou smoothly.

On the way from here to Binzhou, you will pass through the mountains. The road in that area would not be difficult in normal times, but today's weather is a bit uncertain.

Qin Xin told Lu Huaiqi his worries. Lu Huaiqi frowned and thought for a while, then told the whole army to speed up and go through the mountains before the heavy rain fell.

The horseshoes raised billows of smoke and dust, and it was past noon when the army reached the mountains.

Lu Huai squinted his eyes, looked at the thick ink color in the sky, and knew that a heavy rain was coming.

He gave an order to let the army move forward quickly. If it rains heavily, it will definitely be muddy and difficult to walk, and accidents may happen.

Ning Chi and Qin Xin speeded up, and after following Lu Huai, they felt a little worried. For some reason, they always had an ominous premonition that something might happen in this group of earthy mountains.

I only hope that they are thinking too much, they suppress the thoughts in their hearts, and concentrate on their journey without saying a word.

The sky was very gloomy, and a group of black spots suddenly appeared on the earth hills.

As soon as they appeared, they quickly swooped down from the top of the mountain, but they didn't make any loud noises to disturb others.

This is a group of killers, a group of killers with high martial arts skills who are as agile as ghosts.

They quietly appeared behind the team and followed them into the team.

But this group of people are Lu Huaiqi's elite troops, so how could they die so easily by their swords.

Immediately, those men and horses behind and these killers fell into a fierce fight, and one of the soldiers rushed to the front of the team and shouted loudly, "Master, there are killers coming from behind!"

Lu Huaiqi's eyes turned cold, he just felt something strange in this group of earthy mountains, it turned out that there were already people ambushing here, waiting for them to come and kill them.

Ning Chi and Qin Xin looked at each other, their intuition just now was indeed correct.

But I don't know how to deal with this assassination now.

Lu Huaiqi looked at the long line behind and frowned. The terrain here is really not good for them. He ordered loudly, "Everyone listen to the order and disperse quickly."

At this time, it is easier for the opponent to surround and kill them collectively if they are crowded together.

After the people behind heard the order, they all acted according to the order, dispersed one after another, and fought with the killer.

The leader of the assassins looked at the current situation with dead silence and indifference in his eyes. He took a few killers and headed forward.

The most important goal of his trip is Lu Huaiqi.

The master said that this time he must bring Lu Huaiqi's head back to him.

With a figure like a black eagle, he quickly walked through the crowd and saw Lu Huaiqi in front of the team. With one leap, he raised his sword and stabbed towards the back of the crowd, with extremely fierce moves.

It's just that this stab went down, but it missed.

Lu Huai's eyes were slightly cold, and he dodged quickly, but turned around and greeted him with a sword.

The edge of the sword was cold and stern, with a cold light shining, and stabbed straight at his vitals.

The leader hurriedly dodged it, raised his sword to resist, and there was a clanking sound when the weapons were handed over.

After several fierce rounds, Lu Huaiqi slashed across the opponent's left arm with a sword, the tip of the sword was dripping with blood, but the leader also tore through his skirt, and a sachet fell to the ground, Lu Huaiqi's eyes tightened, He hurried to pick it up, but the leader stabbed him with a sword again, he avoided it deftly in the air, picked up the sachet and held it in the palm of his hand, he was breathing a sigh of relief, when he was hit by an arrow on his right shoulder.

When he looked back, it was the leader's assistant who took the bow and arrow and shot him from a distance.

When Ning Chi and Qin Xin saw this, they felt anxious and became ruthless. They hurried to get away from the entangled killer and rushed to Lu Huai before he got up.

Boom!
There was a thunder in the sky, and the rain poured down.

Lu Huai broke off the arrow on his shoulder and looked ahead through the rain, knowing that there was a tough battle to be fought today.

The leader glanced at the wound on his left arm. The wound was deep, and it was painful to the bone when it was drenched by rain.

However, these pains are nothing to a person like him who lives by licking blood on the edge of a knife.

Lu Huaiqi was indeed difficult to deal with, but no matter what, the master's order must be fulfilled.

There was indifference in his eyes, and regardless of the rain washing the wound, he raised his sword and stabbed at Lu Huaiqi.

The two sides were fighting at a critical juncture, but suddenly there was a chaotic sound of horseshoes from behind.

Ning Chi and Qin's confidence sank. Could it be that these killers still have helpers?
Lu Huaiqi also thought of this, and frowned.

The group of people who appeared suddenly were also dressed in black, and their attire was similar to that of the previous batch of killers.

And from their chaotic hoofbeats, it can also be felt that this group of killers seems to be inferior to the previous group.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the new killer leader was also a little puzzled, unable to figure out what the situation was.

Today, their killer gang had a guest. The man had an ugly face, but he was generous. He directly gave them a deposit of 100 taels, and asked them to come to this earthy mountain to kill someone. After the job was done, he would give them the remaining 400 taels Two, exactly 500 taels of silver.

For them, this is a lot of money.

Of course they agreed.

But what's going on now?

The person next to him asked, "Could it be that that person also found another group of people to see who can complete the task and give the money to whom?"

Hearing this, the killer leader cursed secretly, that customer was not kind, but they really wanted the 500 taels of silver, so naturally they didn't want these people to steal their business.

He flicked his whip and called on his brothers to rush forward, "Go, kill that man, and the right way is to get the money!"

The gang of killers became excited when they heard this, and they all swung their knives and killed them.

While fighting with the leader, Lu Huaiqi listened to the words of the killer leader, and remembered the chaotic sound of horseshoes before. The new year has turned, and he guessed that most of these people were sent by that idiot Liu Ao.

But it just so happened that he relieved his encirclement like this.

With this group of foolish killers holding back the previous group of people, they should be able to get out of the dirt hills today.

Lu Huai remembered rightly, although these killers were not skilled in martial arts, they were enough to disturb the formation of the group of people. They were entangled by the group of people, and they were dressed in the same outfit. It was almost impossible to tell whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.

Seeing that the two of them were getting entangled, Ning Chi and Qin Xin quickly followed Lu Huai and rushed out of the dirt hills.

And the team behind also broke out of the encirclement as soon as possible to keep up with them.

After the leader's people killed all the later group of people, only they and Yidi's corpses were left in the earth mountain group.

Before those later killers died, they would not have thought that they were framed by Zhu Yin.

Zhu Yin didn't intend to work for Liu Ao at all, he was outside the front hall that night and heard all the conversations inside.

He knew in his heart that Liu Ao, the city lord, had come to an end, and if he followed him again, he would have no future.

Wuliu City is not a place for him to develop his future. He intends to leave, but before that, he thought that he could get a sum of gold and silver from Liu Ao to prepare for his future career.

He pretended to offer advice to Liu Ao, saying that he wanted to assassinate Lu Huaiqi, but in fact he just found a group of low-level killers to perfuse him.

Liu Ao was deceived by him, but he couldn't help him. After all, from today onwards, he is no longer the city lord.

And he took the gold, and there is still a bright future waiting for him, how can this small place in Wuliu City trap him.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Ao was sitting in the study, wearing ordinary clothes, waiting for news from Zhu Yin.

But when the heavy rain fell in the evening, no one else came.

After Liu Ao was full of anger and rage, all his emotions calmed down.

He walked out of the study door with a dejected face, and walked step by step to the gate of the city lord's mansion, where a group of officers and soldiers stood.

They came to seal the mansion, Liu Ao looked at them in a trance, stepped down the steps, looked at the two stone lions at the gate of the city lord's mansion, he suddenly laughed, at first it was a low laugh, and then it became crazy Looking up to the sky and laughing, the laughter seemed a little weird in the dark rain, "Lu Huaiqi! Lu Huaiqi, you wait, sooner or later... sooner or later, you will be pulled down from a high position, just like me, one day , you will end up like this too, just wait!!" After speaking, he laughed even more crazily.

The officers and soldiers next to him shook their heads, thinking that Liu Ao was crazy.
