Chapter 27 assassin

The city is full of wind and rain, and the rain is flowing everywhere in the Wugu City, and the stories of assassins are also flowing everywhere like rain. Men are talking about the assassin who sells sugar on the street. Maybe there are too many people missing arms and legs, so not many people discuss how the assassin lost one leg. They talk happily about the assassin's missing boots, Poison and a dagger were hidden in the sole of the boot. It is said that the shoemaker in Qingyun County is so skilled that he turned the sole of a lame man into an armory!Assassin's sugar figure frame is even more a miracle. Everyone thinks the shape of the frame is weird, but no one finds that his sugar figure frame is bent like a bow. Some of his sugar figures are sold, and some are not. Those that are not for sale are all secrets, knock open the outer shell of the sugar man, and what you pull out are arrows!

The boys chased a vagrant named Po around in the drizzle. People said that if Po hadn't stolen the assassin's boots, the king might have been assassinated outside the city of grains.There is another unconfirmed news that the king will summon A Bao as soon as he enters Wugu City. For the honor of Wugu City, the government has washed and bathed A Bao in advance, and specially prepared a set of brocade official robes for him. Some people say that no one can recognize Po now, the lice in his unkempt and dirty hair have been caught one by one, and the thick scab on the corner of his mouth that has rotted all year round no longer attracts flies, the best in the city The doctor applied an expensive plaster to the corner of his mouth.The homeless Abao has now become a hero in the hearts of the children. Two little girls even chased him to the Wugu Pagoda and boldly sang to him that they would not marry Abao when they grew up.

The vagrant Po couldn't bear the people's fanatical admiration, so he hid on the grain tower, and sent a few boys to guard the tower gate, saying that no one would be seen except the king and officials, so many people who came here for fame had to face the tall man. The Wugu Tower thought about the legendary child, and they sighed, "There is no one who can do anything, and that child stole someone's shoes and earned his fame!"A lot of people with unclean hands and feet gathered under the Wugu Pagoda. They heard too many compliments on A Bao, and they didn't feel good, so they said sourly, that child can't steal anything else, he can only pick people's shoes!

That's not a lie, A Bao was young and weak, short in stature, and picked out what he could to steal, so he picked other people's shoes.He specializes in picking people's shoes and boots. He picks people's shoes when they are asleep. It doesn't matter if you don't sleep. As long as your shoes and boots are not on the ground, you are sitting with your legs crossed. The left shoe was lost, and the one with the right leg lost the right shoe. Many people who slept under the Wugu Pagoda knew how powerful Po was. At night, as long as Po was nearby, they tied the shoes and boots several times with ropes before falling asleep at ease. Some are not at ease, and simply sleep standing up.They said that the assassin Shaoqi didn't know how powerful Ah Bao was, so he slept on his back under the Wugu Pagoda, and gave Ah Bao a good chance to make his ancestors shine!At night, someone saw Ah Bao returning with the assassin's boots in his arms. He still complained that the assassin only had one leg. He said that he had only stolen one of such good boots, and if he wanted to sell it, he could only sell it to another cripple.The boys said that Po never tried on stolen shoes. Other people's shoes smelled bad, but the assassin's boots exuded a strange musky smell, so he put his feet in them. Seeing this pair a lot, he cried out as soon as he tried this pair, saying, there is something on the sole of the shoe, it is a knife coin!Later, several waifs gathered around to watch him cut the sole of the boot. What they saw were not knives and coins, but three daggers and a bag of poison.

People have heard about the reputation of the Assassin for a long time. Some people doubt his noble lineage as the descendants of Lord Xintao, saying that all the descendants of Lord Xintao have disappeared from the world after ten years of pursuit by the king, but another question is , if he is not a descendant of Lord Xintao, who would have such a deep hatred for the king, who would regard assassinating the king worshiped by thousands of people as his life's work?Although the life history of Assassin Shaoqi is short, it is full of madness and adventure. For twenty years in troubled times, he was born to assassinate the king, and he is always ready to die for the assassination of the king. Harmful, more often the two form a sharp contradiction. The two plans of the assassin to assassinate the king were aborted due to lack of careful preparation. A boy with a bow and arrow in his hand and a childish face was found on the tree. The boy had been lurking in the tree for at least one night. He defeated the Sandman, but he couldn't hold back a piss. His whereabouts made the brocade guards patrolling outside the palace in the morning discover the tree.When the brocade guards asked him to come down from the tree for inspection, they were surprised to find that the boy was like a squirrel, walking quickly among the branches, and disappeared from the woods outside the hunting ground like a gust of wind.If it hadn't been for an arrow that fell from the boy's quiver and poisoned the dogs of the guards, no one would have believed that the boy with red lips and white teeth was an assassin. The whole family of a drug farmer was pushed to the gallows. The trace of the boy and the real mastermind behind the scenes are still a mystery.

The second assassination of the assassin's young weapon was also a surprise.Coinciding with the King's 40th birthday, guests gathered inside and outside the Longevity Palace, and the ceremonial cars from all over the world almost crushed the bluestone road outside the palace gate.At that time, Assassin Shaoqi was already a heroic young man, and he followed a limousine from Qilai County in the southern border into the Longevity Palace. He put on a eunuch's purple robe, and guarded the quiet ritual library, Climbing the ladder to count the piles of presents, but his handsome and tall appearance caught the attention of the court ladies, who all found various excuses to come to the library to see the handsome eunuch on the ladder.In the Palace of Ten Thousand Years, big trees do not attract wind, beautiful women belong to the king, but a handsome man exuding a heroic atmosphere is dangerous, every gesture is flawed, and the royal guards smelled a strange air from the turbulent palace ladies When they heard the news and rushed to the warehouse of the Longevity Palace, the last few maids who were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the handsome man were still at the door, talking about his eyes, his lips and shoulders with blushing faces.When they entered the library, the handsome man of unknown origin had disappeared, only a purple official robe was thrown under the back window.This time, the assassins were implicated by the owner of the limousine car, the sheriff of Qilai County and the chief bookkeeper of the ritual treasury, as well as the emerald stones and a flock of peacocks transported from the far southern border. The heads of Qilai County guards fell overnight. What is unforgettable is the king's treatment of emerald stones and peacocks. According to his special hobbies, he ordered all gifts from Qilai County to be burned. The peacock was locked in a cage like a prisoner, and the cage was thrown into the fire. However, how to burn the jadeite was an extremely difficult task. Barely burned the emerald stone into a pile of green ash.
