1, Assassination
Today is a rare event in the Han Mansion, Han Hou watched the beautiful maid dancing under the stage and talked and laughed with the Han puppet of xiangguo, and many guests also raised a glass to drink and sang in their throats.
There are already many people who are drunk, or fall asleep, or wantonly fool around, and their ugly posture is exposed. Han Hou was also slightly drunk, so he let these people fool around.
In stark contrast to the drunken dreaming and dying situation in the hall, the faces of a large number of guards guarding the safety of the Han Mansion were not angry and arrogant, and there were also people on and off the stage who bowed their knees and served these noble subordinates with all their hearts.
The banquet had lasted for several hours, and the dancers had long been exhausted, but Han Hou and Xiang Guo were in a strong mood, so they had to drag their exhausted bodies to continue their movements, with a stiff smile on their faces, like a dancing machine of the walking dead.
The people who can make them stop this ugly dance and rest do not care about the feelings of these lowly dancers, and those who care about their feelings cannot make them stop dancing.
After several hours of scorching sun standing guard, and still suffering from the arrogance and lavishness of the palace, these guards guarding the security of this royal palace could not help but relax a little, and some of them had secretly cried out to their colleagues.
At this time, a figure dressed in a worn-out robe took advantage of the opportunity of the patrol guard changing guard to quietly climb over the wall and jump into the inner courtyard, landing silently and no one noticed.
Just a small scabbard of the sword that was inadvertently revealed when he got up showed that this person was doomed to be bad.
In order not to affect the pleasures of the nobles, Xiangguo Han puppets, despite the opposition of the guards commander, ordered these guards to concentrate on the outer periphery to avoid outsiders entering, and the inner courtyard only had a few Han puppets' cronies, and they were slightly drunk at this moment. No wonder the defenders were upset.
The figure in a worn-out robe carefully hid the sound of footsteps, and after figuring out the distribution of the guards and the current combat effectiveness, he walked directly into the hall through the main entrance.
On the way, except for a few servants who walked quickly with their heads bowed and carrying plates, none of them stopped him.
The figure walked into the hall, and there was a mess, and none of the guests were awake, but they still poured their wine glasses into their mouths, although most of them were sprinkled on the luxurious clothes on their bodies.
The few people who were still slightly sober saw this worn-out figure appear in the hall, and without thinking much about it, they said with a drunken spirit: "Where is the beggar, come, fork him out!" ”
Before the words could be heard, the cold glow of the sword light had arrived, and the figure holding the sword killed the Han puppet above the hall with lightning speed.
Han Hou and many guest nobles on the side were frightened by the sudden blood light, and most of the wine dissipated, fleeing in all directions, and the people screamed and screamed. The hall was a chaotic mess.
Guards outside the courtyard heard the commotion and quickly surrounded the lobby. Not long after, a figure dressed in a worn-out robe stepped out, and many guards rushed up, but this figure killed more than a dozen people with the momentum of a white rainbow, and a worn-out robe had been infected with blood.
The guards were so frightened that for a moment no one dared to take a step forward, and there was a vague intention of retreating.
However, they did not want the figure to kill a bloody road as they thought, but instead stabbed the blade of the sword into their own face.
In the exclamation of the guards, the figure cut through his own face, stripped his eyes, and then decisively stabbed the sword into his abdomen, and the man actually died in this way, leaving only a group of guards looking at each other.
…
A few days later, South Korea placed the killer's body at a bustling street intersection and declared that if anyone could identify him, he would receive a hundred taels of gold.
2, Dog Tu Nie Zheng
Nie Zheng was a rare warrior, and this was the unanimous evaluation of him by those who knew him well.
Nie Zheng in his early years because of killing people to avoid revenge, with his mother and sister far away to the country of Qi, in order to take care of his elderly and sick mother, Nie Zheng became a butcher, selling some meat and others to maintain his livelihood in the morning and evening, and when he was a little more generous, he bought some delicacies to honor his mother.
Nie Zheng originally thought that such a poor and uneventful life would continue until a Korean courtier named Yan Zhongzi found him.
Yan Zhongzi and the Korean puppet were both courtiers of the Marquis of Han, but there was a deep grudge between the two.
Yan Zhongzi was defeated in a political struggle, and because he was afraid that Han Golem would send someone to kill him, he fled Korea, and in order to never have any trouble, he went around looking for a warrior who could assassinate Han Golem for him.
So Nie Zheng walked into Yan Zhongzi's sight under the recommendation and appreciation of many people.
After learning of Nie Zheng's current situation, Yan Zhongzi visited Nie Zheng's home many times, and each time he had to bring gifts. After several times, Yan Zhongzi and Nie Zheng also became more and more acquainted.
When he felt that the time was finally ripe, Yan Zhongzi prepared fine wine and delicacies to personally offer to Nie Zheng's mother, and when everyone was drinking, Yan Zhongzi wasted no time in taking out the golden hundred and two prepared in advance to present to Nie Zheng's mother.
Nie Zheng was slightly surprised, and then he resigned, "I originally fled here to provide for my mother with the dog slaughter industry, although I made little money but had no worries, why did you have to do this?" Isn't it still out of sight? ”
Yan Zhongzi did not answer, but insisted repeatedly, and Nie Zheng's mother resigned several times, and finally did not accept the money.
After the meal, Yan Zhongzi signaled Nie Zheng to borrow a step to speak, Nie Zheng nodded his head and agreed, and then left, yan Zhongzi followed him to the backyard.
As soon as Nie Zheng turned around, Yan Zhongzi bowed his hand and said in a deep voice, "Please also accept this hundred taels of gold to fund the cost of the rough meal of the Lingtang." ”
Nie Zheng said strangely, "Why should your excellency be like this?" ”
Yan Zhongzi sighed and said, "I don't know anything about the foot, I have a vendetta to repay, I have traveled to various countries over the years, I heard that the foot is thin and cloudy and the martial arts are strong, just hope to make a friend with your excellency, what are the two hearts?" Moreover, this golden hundred and two is really of little use to me, and I can accept it with confidence. ”
Nie Zheng hurriedly resigned, "The reason why I am willing to live in the world is only to provide for the old mother, and now that the old mother is alive, I really dare not sacrifice my life to others at will, and I also ask for your forgiveness." ”
Yan Zhongzi saw that Nie Zheng was determined, so he did not insist any longer.
The two returned to the house, and Yan Zhongzi still did his best to perform the courtesy of the guests before he resigned and left.
3. Repay the favor
Long after that, after Yan Zhongzi knew Nie Zheng's intentions, he never looked for him to ask for assassination, but occasionally he would still send someone to help Nie Zheng.
And Nie Zheng's mother was already old, even if her body was carefully cared for, it was ultimately invincible to the erosion of the years, and she drove the crane west.
Nie Zheng was devastated physically and mentally, and after serving his mother's mourning period, he suddenly remembered Yan Zhongzi's knowledge and assistance to him a long time ago.
Her mother had enjoyed her old age, and her sister had married and had her own family.
Now that he has no worries, Yan Zhongzi, who was originally a heavy minister of a country, can actually put down his body and personally make friends for himself as a butcher, and he understands his refusal, and it is not half difficult.
Now was the time to repay the favor of knowing the encounter, Nie Zheng thought in his heart. He then prepared to leave for South Korea to find Yan Zhongzi in return for his kindness.
Nie Zheng found Yan Zhongzi and made it clear that he had no worries now and was willing to serve him in assassinating Han Golem.
Yan Zhongzi made it slightly worried that the Han government was heavily guarded, Nie Zheng was weak, and he was afraid that the assassination would not succeed, so he proposed to send many people to go with Nie Zheng.
Nie Zheng refused, "No, now if you assassinate the prime minister of a country, if you increase the number of people and cause the information to leak, even if the assassination is successful, then the whole of Korea will be your enemy, so it will be more than worth the loss." ”
"But in this case, how can the foot retreat after the assassination is successful?"
"I have no worries, this time just to repay your previous knowledge of me..."
Yan Zhongzi was silent.
In the end, Nie Zheng still refused to go with everyone and went to han mansion alone to assassinate him.
4, the ending
After Nie Zheng succeeded in assassination, he was besieged by many guards, and after trying his best to kill more than a dozen people, he knew that he could not leave safely today, so he committed suicide by disfiguring himself.
A few days after Nie Zheng's body was placed at the intersection of the downtown area, the news of Han Zheng's assassination had spread throughout the princely states.
Most people have admiration for the people who assassinated Han Puppet, but the corpse is unclaimed, and its true identity is not known, which is a pity.
After all, Yan Zhongzi did not send someone to claim the body of Nie Zheng to bury him, but he was afraid that in this way, Nie Zheng's painstaking efforts to disfigure himself would be reduced to nothingness.
If Nie Zheng's corpse had been eaten and rotted by maggots in this way, then Nie Zheng's deeds would not have been praised by future generations for a thousand years.
Soon after the news of the assassination spread throughout the country, Nie Zheng's sister, Nie Rong, concluded that nie zheng had done it. Only Nie Zheng would act in this way to avoid the scourge of those close to him.
In order to make Nie Zheng not be forgotten by the world under the wear and tear of time like his corpse, Nie Rong knew that he would be executed by South Korea, and also insisted on going to South Korea to claim Nie Zheng's corpse, and she wanted to let the world know Nie Zheng's righteousness.
His sister found the corpse of her brother in Han City, and the corpse wept bitterly and crashed into the front of Nie Zheng's corpse. ---- Chronicles of the Assassins
Why did the Taishi Guild include Nie Zheng, an assassin who was not "professional", in the history of history, and remove Nie Zheng, who sacrificed his wife and children for assassination?
Just because of a "soldier" word.
Yu Rang, Zhuan Zhu, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke, Cao Mo. The reason why they can leave their names in history, regardless of occupation and status, is only because they have told the world what is the flow of soldiers with their own actions.
No matter what era you are in, what will never be dusted is the brilliance of human nature.
