Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 285 Assassination!

"How can you prove what you said?" Usumish asked, looking at him cautiously.

The soldier picked up Kang Xu's crutches and pulled out the branch with all his strength, only to see a flash of cold light, and everyone saw a gleaming dagger stuck in the branch!

Wusumish took a breath of cold air suddenly, and a sudden fear rose in his heart. If the other party took a step closer to him just now, this dagger would definitely kill him!

"Come on, arrest him!" Wusumish pointed at Kang Xu, and suddenly let out a roar.

Several guards rushed forward and tied up Kang Xu.

At this moment, the sound of fierce fighting suddenly came from outside.

An Lushan hurriedly ordered people to go out to check what happened. After a while, the guard ran in in a panic and shouted: "It's not good, General! Those refugees and beggars rebelled! Now they are fighting desperately with the soldiers, and they are almost here. !"

"It's unreasonable, a group of untouchables dare to be enemies of this general, pass on my general order, and all those who resist in the corner will be killed without mercy!" An Lushan roared with a ferocious face.

Before An Lushan finished speaking, the soldier who exposed Kang Xu suddenly had a frantic murderous intent in his eyes.

A cold light flashed, Usumish's head was cut off immediately, and the blood in the neck cavity sprayed out like a fountain.

The sudden change made it impossible for everyone to react. It was not until the Turkic guards roared angrily that everyone realized it.

The ruined temple turned into a pot of porridge in an instant, with roars and screams intertwined, which instantly overwhelmed the chaotic sounds of beatings and killings outside.

The soldier chopped off Usumish's head with a single knife, and immediately flew towards the door.

Almost at the same time, a large net fell from outside the door, directly blocking the way of that person.

At the same time, all the guards in the ruined temple rushed forward and immediately tied up the man.

"So you are the real killer! Who sent you here?" An Lushan walked over with a gloomy face and asked coldly.

The killer smiled coldly, and said: "If you rest and get any clues from me, if you kill An Lushan, I will die!"

An Lushan suddenly laughed strangely: "If you don't tell me, I know, you are Yang Guozhong's subordinate, aren't you? Unfortunately, this general is An Lushan, and the one you killed just now was Tubo Usumish Khan !"

"What? This...that's impossible!" The killer suddenly screamed. He struggled desperately to identify it, but was pinned down on the spot by all the guards.

"I really want to thank you, General." Pretentiously he laughed a few times, An Lushan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said seriously to the Turkic guards: "This man killed Usumish Khan, the crime will not be tolerated." Zhu, you can figure it out!"

Those Turkic guards' eyes were tearing apart, they raised their weapons one after another, and slashed wildly at the killer.

Following An Lushan's sneer, those guards raised their weapons and slashed at the killer, who was instantly chopped into meat.

When the killer beheaded Usumish, Kang Xu had already rolled to the corner in the chaos. He witnessed everything, and suddenly he realized that he was just a decoy.

The reason why he was asked to pretend to be a Jinwu Guard scout was to give the killer a chance.

The assassin revealed his identity in public, and he would naturally gain the trust of An Lushan and the others. It can be said that it was a surprise to suddenly attack the killer at this time.

Unfortunately, the killer obviously killed the wrong person.

It is not difficult to see from his words that his target was An Lushan. Unfortunately, he did not recognize An Lushan, but only identified it from the general's shirt, and killed Usumish by mistake.

However, Kang Xu always had a feeling that this matter was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.

First of all, he said that he was a scout of the Jinwu Guard. An Lushan did not ask about his identity in detail, but only confirmed it with a token.

An Lushan was able to go from an inconspicuous little person to the present step by step. His thoughts are absolutely extraordinary. How could he be so careless?

The only explanation Kang Xu could think of was that he probably knew that Kang Xu was pretending, but deliberately pretended not to know.

Secondly, why is An Lushan's shirt on Usumish?
The killer obviously didn't recognize An Lushan, but he didn't hesitate at the time of his assassination, as if he was sure that the man in the shirt was An Lushan himself.

As a result, a bigger question followed.

An Lushan seemed to have known for a long time that someone was going to assassinate him. From his attitude towards Kang Xu pretending to be a Jinwu Guard, to the speed at which he caught the killer, it all explained this problem.

That's why he put the battle robe on Usumish in advance. What is his purpose for doing this?
At this time, the killer had already been stamped into meat, An Lushan suddenly looked at Kang Xu, his eyes were fierce, emitting a light like a hungry wolf.

Where did Kang Xu dare to think wildly, he hurriedly stopped his thoughts, screaming in his heart that it was terrible, no matter whether he was the real Jinwu Guard or not, An Lushan would definitely kill him to silence him.

A quick scan of the situation in the ruined temple revealed that besides Anlu Mountain, there were seven or eight vicious guards, who could easily kill him at any one time.

"It's better to strike first, and then you'll suffer!" Kang Xu frowned, and he took out a pack of medicine powder from the dark and pinched it in his hand. Seeing several people coming up to take his life, he threw half of his crutch over.

While they were dodging sideways, Kang Xu suddenly rolled on the ground, raised his right hand violently, and immediately sprayed a white powder.

"It's a drug, hold your breath!"

As soon as the words fell, several guards fell to the ground immediately, An Lushan hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and ran towards the outside of the temple under the protection of the guards.

Kang Xu took the opportunity to roll over on the spot and rushed out of the ruined temple.

However, just as he rushed out of the ruined temple, An Lushan also ran out. When he saw Kang Xu, he immediately grabbed the sharp sword from the guard around him, and slashed at Kang Xu.

Kang Xu's back tightened, and he had no time to react, so he dragged his injured right leg and rolled down the steps.

Ding~
With a soft sound, the sharp sword in An Lushan's hand was knocked to the ground.

Kang Xu looked up, and was surprised to find a man wrapped in black from head to toe standing in front of him, and the deadly sword was knocked down by the spear in the man's hand.

"It's you? Who are you?" Kang Xu looked at the man in black in surprise, and he recognized that the man in black in front of him was the one who rescued him from the flames.

The man in black didn't speak, but lifted him up, swung the spear in his hand suddenly, and directly pierced through the body of several vicious guards who raised their knives to slash.

At this time, those refugees and beggars had already killed them, and the man in black casually threw Kang Xu into the group of refugees, and he turned around and disappeared immediately.

All this happened in a blink of an eye. If it wasn't for the warm blood spraying from the body of those guards, Kang Xu really thought he was dreaming.
