The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 22 The Masked Assassin
This night, the sea snake came again.

The few guards on duty outside were not surprised, they didn't even shout, and let the sea snake lie in the yard basking in the moon.

But after a few minutes, the previously docile sea snake suddenly went berserk.

It raised the snake's head violently, jumped up like the wind, and knocked a guard away.

The guard was totally unprepared, he didn't even have time to pull out the Yanling Saber, he was thrown flying to the wall, then rolled to the ground, limp and unable to get up.

"careful!"

The face of the leader of the guards changed drastically in an instant, he exclaimed, and pulled out the Yanling Saber from his waist.

The other four guards were also facing a formidable enemy, holding the Yanling knife in their hands, watching nervously the sea snake that suddenly rose up.

The sea snake didn't intend to stop there, its tail roared and swung, and the guard closest to its left was sent flying away with a knife.

Given its size, its strength can be imagined.

Its tail continued to castrate, and it hit the lamp post with oil lamps in the courtyard, smashing the stone lamp post into pieces, making a loud bang.

The guards were so frightened that they wanted to run away, but they didn't dare to run because the emperor was still inside.

The leader of the guards shouted loudly: "Someone come to escort! Come here to escort!"

At this time, the sea snake was already raging in the courtyard again.

Although these guards are all martial arts practitioners, they are all vulnerable like dolls in front of this giant sea snake.

In a blink of an eye, two more guards were sent flying out.

Only the leader of the guards was left in the courtyard shouting, and another guard stood at the gate of Zhao Dongting with trembling legs.

Zhao Dongting, who was already asleep in the room, woke up naturally when he heard such a loud noise outside, and ran outside without even thinking about putting on his shoes.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the guards at the door who were facing an enemy, the guards who were lying on the ground, and the mess in the courtyard.

When the guard leader saw Zhao Dongting coming out, he quickly shouted, "Be careful, Your Majesty!"

The sea snake jumped up and rushed towards him.

The guard leader's kung fu was quite good, he jumped up suddenly, put his foot on the lamp post, and jumped onto the wall with his strength.

However, when the sea snake raised its head, it was higher than the courtyard wall, and it roared at him.

The leader of the guards was so frightened that he walked like flying along the eaves of the wall, and ran towards the corner.

The sea snake's head hit the wall, knocking down the courtyard wall made of stones.

Zhao Dongting had never seen such a scene before, so he was dumbfounded for a moment.This is simply the real version of Monty Python crisis.

And at this moment, two men in black suddenly jumped in from outside the wall.

The leader of the guards caught sight of the two men in black from the corner of his eye in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Protect the emperor!"

He himself jumped off the wall and ran towards Zhao Dongting.

But the sea snake is huge, but its movements are extremely agile.The leader of the guards was still in the air, so it caught his movement and flicked his tail away.

The leader of the guards could no longer change his figure in the air, and was being hit by the sea snake, screamed, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and threw it heavily on the courtyard wall.

He fell to the ground, still struggling to get up, but he couldn't get up at all.

The figures of the two men in black were erratic and swift, and they arrived in front of Zhao Dongting in a few moments.One is tall and the other is exquisite.

The only remaining guard in front of Zhao Dongting swung his knife and slashed.

But the two men in black also held swords in their hands, and the tall man in black pulled out several sword flowers, like plum blossoms.

Her swordsmanship was extremely powerful, Zhao Dongting couldn't even see her sword clearly, so he could only hear the guards groaning in pain, and the Yanling Saber fell to the ground.

He clutched his wrist and took a few steps back, knocking Zhao Dongting back into the room.

Zhao Dongting sat down heavily on his buttocks, ignoring the pain, and was about to get up, when he heard the guard screaming, and then was thrown from the door.

Two men in black blinked and appeared at the door.

It’s over.

Zhao Dongting thought to himself.

The two men in black were obviously assassins.

"Dog Emperor, die!"

The tall slender assassin yelled and cursed, and stabbed Zhao Dongting's throat with the long sword, as if he and Zhao Dongting had a sworn hatred.

Listening to her voice, it was as cold as a spring, as cold as ice, but it was very pleasant.

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, the hairs all over his body stood up, and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

The female assassin actually stopped her sword, and asked coldly, "What else do you have to say?"

Zhao Dongting swallowed secretly, his heart beating violently, and said, "Why did you kill me? And why did you call me the dog emperor?"

The female assassin sneered and said, "Look at this world, the people are in dire straits and their lives are in dire straits. What are you if you are not a dog emperor?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Look at my age, could it be that I caused this misfortune?"

The female assassin was slightly stunned, but then said: "Whether it's you or not, as long as you die, this war will be over!"

The tip of her cold long sword was always on Zhao Dongting's throat.

Zhao Dongting's mind has never been running so fast as it is now, and he is constantly thinking about countermeasures.

He didn't know if he could convince the two assassins, but now it seemed that delaying time was very possible.

Putting on an innocent face, Zhao Dongting said again: "If you think I'm dead, will the war stop?"

A pair of bright and big eyes above the female assassin's mask showed a bit of puzzlement.

Zhao Dongting hurriedly went on to say: "Now all the heroes in the world are rising together, and many righteous men have risen to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. Even if I die, the royal family of the Song Dynasty will not be cut off, and a new emperor will ascend the throne. The righteous men will still fight for you." I, Great Song, fought bravely. Your thinking is really naive, if you have that ability, you will drive out the Yuan thieves, and only when the Yuan thieves are destroyed can the world be truly stable."

Of course he was fooling people. If he died, the Southern Song court would obviously not be able to play around for a few more days.

But the female assassin couldn't help but fell into deep thought when she heard this.

Although she was extremely unwilling, she had to admit that what Zhao Dongting said made some sense.

Killing the emperor would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Furthermore, seeing how young Zhao Dongting was, she really couldn't do anything about it.Otherwise, Zhao Dongting's throat was directly pierced just now.

Especially Zhao Dongting's last sentence shocked her a lot.The real righteous men are all raising troops to fight against Yuan.

She thought that her assassination of the emperor was a righteous act, but now she saw that she seemed to be helping the evildoers.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Dongting knew that she was a little shaken in her heart. He was secretly happy, and quickly said: "I see that you are also a courageous and capable person. You were born in the Song Dynasty and raised in the Song Dynasty. Why don't you want to expel Yuan Yuan?" A thief, but came to kill me, the poor little emperor who was forced to flee to Quzhou?"

The female assassin couldn't answer.

The small and exquisite assassin next to her was obviously also a woman. At this moment, she suddenly reached out and pulled her sleeve, and said delicately: "Sister, it seems that we really shouldn't come to kill him, he looks so pitiful..."

The female assassin was completely shaken at this moment, she put away her long sword after losing her mind for a moment, and said to her sister: "Let's go!"

They turned around and were about to leave the room.

But at this time, the gate outside the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and then groups of guards rushed in.

The sea snake that was lying on the ground raised its head in an instant, with great power.

Yue Peng took the lead and stood in the front, holding a long spear, and he had no fear of the sea snake, and shouted into the room: "Bold thief, how dare you assassinate the emperor!"

The guards rushed in and surrounded the entire courtyard, drawing their longbows and pointing their pointed arrows at the two female assassins.

The tall slender female assassin stomped her feet angrily, showing anxiety.The female assassin next to her tightly clutched her arm in fear.

Although the sea snake is powerful, and the two of them are also very good at kung fu, but it is obviously tantamount to wishful thinking to break out of such a heavy encirclement.

Suddenly, there was another cold roar outside the door, "Who dares to hurt the emperor!"

The great master Li Yuanxiu also arrived at this time.

He can be said to be a brave man of high skill, rushed into the courtyard, and even attacked the sea snake.

The ferocity of the sea snake was aroused, hissing and spitting out the letter, and opening its mouth to bite Li Yuanxiu who was attacking him.

But Li Yuanxiu's figure was extremely fast, and the sea snake couldn't even touch his sides when he moved and flickered.

He slapped the sea snake several inches in succession, making the sea snake neigh continuously.

The petite female assassin's voice was a little crying, "Xiao Jin!"

At this time Zhao Dongting finally got up from the ground, walked to the door next to the two female assassins, and shouted: "Eunuch, stop!"

Seeing that he was fine, Yue Peng and all the guards were relieved.

Hearing Zhao Dongting's voice, Li Yuanxiu stopped fighting with the sea snake, and swept backwards at a high speed.

The sea snake suffered a loss, but refused to let him go, and was about to chase after him.

At this moment, the tall slender female assassin tore off the mask, put her thumb and forefinger in her mouth, and whistled.

The sea snake was actually very obedient, and immediately retracted its neck obediently, and entangled itself.

Zhao Dongting turned his head to look at the female assassin, and lost his mind for a moment.She is actually a beautiful woman of national beauty and heavenly fragrance.
