Chapter 100 Too Many Flaws
Seeing that the assassination failed, Xiang Er didn't panic. The only thing he didn't expect was that someone on the shore could attack his brother.

Jumping into the water, Xiang Er quickly touched Jingmen.

The bloody forehead that was still bubbling after entering the water made Xiang Er understand that there was no hope for him, so he got angry, secretly said sorry brother, took out the dagger at his waist, and cut off Jingmen's head neatly.

Credentials cannot be left.

Sensing that the people on the nearby boat were going into the water, he probably wanted to make a big contribution, Xiang Er not only did not escape, but went up to meet him, stabbed the first two people in the heart one by one, got out of the water to take a breath, then sank back into the water, turned to face Swim out to sea.

Since he dared to take the nickname 'Dragon King of the Waves', Xiang Er has full confidence in his water skills.

Considering in advance, everyone judged that the officers and soldiers would definitely focus on the two sides of the strait after the incident, but not to mention Xiang Er, even in Jingmen, they could eat as much as they could on the water, and they could easily swim hundreds of feet in the water.Therefore, they set the escape direction to the open sea.

There is a boat waiting there ahead of time.

After quickly diving for more than a mile, Xiang Er took out another bamboo tube more than a foot long from his waist, and was about to quietly take a breath without showing his head, when he suddenly felt something approaching him.

Alerted, Xiang Er immediately gave up taking a breath and continued to move forward quickly.

However, not only did he not get rid of it, but the feeling of being approached became more and more serious. Even, Xiang Er felt that the thing was deliberately not catching up, but was waiting for him to gradually exhaust himself, just like a fish when fishing. Walking fish is average.

Realizing this, Xiang Er quietly held the dagger again, deliberately slowed down a little, and when he found a certain moment, he suddenly turned around and stabbed behind him with all his strength based on his feeling.

No stab.

However, Xiang Er also confirmed that he was indeed being followed, and it turned out to be a little girl.

Just turning around and stabbing, the little girl deftly turned in one direction in the water like a fish swimming, easily dodging his attack.

This made Xiang Er realize that the opponent's water skills were better than his.

But, so what, she is a little girl after all, and Xiang Er doesn't have the good eyes like his brother Jingmen, let alone a certain girl took off the sack, so he didn't recognize that it was the little girl who hit him with two blows. Jingmen.

Xiang Er even felt that, just like those who just entered the water, this is also a fisherman's girl who wants to fight for success.

Although I don't think this little girl can threaten him, it is always bad to be chased like this, and attracting officers and soldiers is even more troublesome.That being the case, Xiang Er quickly decided to make another one to pay homage to his brother.

Making up his mind, Xiang Er simply let go of his brother's head first, adjusted his posture, held the knife and attacked the little girl who neither approached nor left.

What annoyed Xiang Er was that he gradually realized that he still underestimated the little girl's water skills. The latest attack failed, and he glanced occasionally, and even saw the little girl smile at him, as if it was a cat playing with a mouse Smiling, this smile made Xiang Er even more angry, resisting the increasingly urgent depression in his chest, he turned around and chased after him again.

Xiang Er didn't know, because the breath in his chest was gradually exhausted, and his figure was much slower than before.

Some sack girl who was really a fish in the water could sense it.

Therefore, she will laugh.

This time, when Xiang Er was attacking, she dodged easily again, but instead of dodging as far away as the previous few times, she jumped up like a fish swimming in water, feeling that Xiang Er was at her feet, and the little girl was another Falling sharply, exerting all his strength, he kicked Xiang Er's neck accurately.

puff--

There was no sound underwater, but a bunch of bubbles were kicked out, as if something exploded because of it.

Immediately, Xiang Er's unconscious body began to fall to the bottom of the water.

Lin Xiaoyu didn't approach in a hurry, and swam around the man vigilantly for a few times, and retrieved a head by the way. After a while, she leaned over carefully, first kicked the short knife in the second hand, and repaired it again. After confirming that the man had really stopped moving, she grabbed Xiang Er's hair and dragged him to the shore.

The envoy of Yinghai was assassinated, and there was chaos on both sides of the Yongjiang River.

When the officers and soldiers who came quickly after hearing the news saw a little girl walking ashore with a head in one hand and dragging a person in the other, they were not only dumbfounded, but also more vigilant.

Lin Xiaoyu threw down the heads of Xianger and Jingmen who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, smiled at them, and suddenly remembered that the sack on his body was gone, only his underwear was left.This can't be seen by outsiders casually, so he sat down, hugged his knees and curled up into a ball, and his calf was still exerting strength quietly, drilling and drilling, and buried a pair of white feet after kicking off the shoes into the sand on the shore.

Like a weak girl who has just been bullied and has nowhere to stretch herself.

Lin Xiaoyu's series of actions made the officers and soldiers around him who didn't know how to deal with it a little nervous.

Little girl... are you pretending to be pitiful?

But don't forget that you just came up one by one, and now you pretend to be pitiful, and everyone can't believe it!
……

Jingmen shot an arrow, and Chen Ning and Zhang Zha, who had chosen the location in advance, both saw the man on the shore being pushed down by the attendants in an instant, and then saw a group of people walking towards the city surrounded by a sedan chair on three floors and three floors outside, roughly confirming that, The assassination failed.

If it is shot, no matter whether you are injured or dead, you must not move around for a short time.

Chen Ning, who fled around with the people around him, quietly left Zhang Zha's side.

Chen Ning had imagined before that, in the best case, stabbing the man to death would solve all kinds of problems, and then he would put all kinds of things in front of the left minister. Whether active or passive, Li Shanchang must support him in his recovery.

Secondly, when the matter is done and he is exposed because of this, as long as he can drag those people to die together, he will die as well.

However, when things failed at the moment, Chen Ning suddenly didn't want to die.

Chen Ning didn't go into the city, but walked all the way along the river to the commercial port wharf outside the south city, and happened to see three Japanese ships that were not the same shape as the Daming ships had set up their sails, obviously planning to set sail.

So he leaned over and casually came to the side of the two peasants, and helped to lift a shelf of porcelain. Seeing the doubts of the two peasants, Chen Ning gave him a look and said, "Be careful."

So on board.

Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, Chen Ning turned into the cabin and went all the way down.

Chen Ning knew very well that the assassination failed. With so many clues left by him, it is not difficult to find out the whole thing.

Therefore, if you continue to stay, you will inevitably die.

If you leave decisively and keep the green hills, there will always be opportunities in the future.

As for the family members in Taicang, Chen Ning, who was leaning against a corner of the bottom cabin with a few cornbreads brought in from the upper cabin, had a gloomy look in his eyes, and then became firm again.

It was all the fault of the sea envoy.

In the future, he will avenge his family.

A rare westerly wind blew up this afternoon, and the gatekeeper Murata from Japan decided to set sail.

There was chaos on the shore for some reason. The Murata gatekeeper standing at the stern watched the boatman push the ship away from the pier with a large scull, and the small Japanese maritime merchant had some inexplicable longing and expectation in his eyes.

Such a great river and mountain, how chaotic it should be.

What a mess!
……

Zhang Ja entered the city, only to find that Chen Ning had disappeared.

My first reaction was that I was being tricked.

At the moment, I don't want to think about it.

The two brothers... Zhang Zha believed that Xiang Er could escape, but he couldn't know that Xiang Erfa cut off his brother's head when he was hit by something at Jingmen, so he felt that this opening would be caught by the officers and soldiers.

That being the case, Zhang Zha didn't hesitate, and planned to return to his hometown in Haiyan immediately.

Then, take the family out to sea!

Go to sea!
A result that is the least expected, and I don't care much about it.

Life is important.

……

As long as Zhu Yuan goes out, Zuo Xiang Fu Gan Sui, who will never miss the opportunity to spy on him, is also among the crowd of onlookers today.

When the fishing boat came out from behind the big boat and was obviously approaching the north bank, Gan Sui, who had been a scout, became alert, but he didn't remind the battalion of sea envoys' responsibilities. Not only that, Gan Sui felt that if that person Being stabbed to death like this can be regarded as a solution to one of Zuo Xiang's serious worries.

However, Gan Sui soon recognized the two people on the boat.

Thinking about yesterday morning, Chen Ning suddenly brought a stranger to meet him. Gan Sui, who instantly understood many things, felt his hairs stand on end.

This is a trap.

Regardless of whether the battalion sea envoy is fine or not, Prime Minister Zuo is likely to be implicated in this assassination.

Gan Sui cannot let this happen.

After thinking about it on the way back to the city, Gan Sui went straight to the place where Chen Ning had already found out.

Someone is clearly the initiator of all these layers of traps.

There were only a few domestic servants in the small courtyard where Chen Ning lived, and after Gan Sui questioned them, he wiped everyone's necks with a knife.Then he searched in Chen Ning's study, but found nothing. Worried that Chen Ning hid something in a secret place, Gan Sui directly set a fire and threw the corpses of several of Chen Ning's servants into the fire.

The next target is Zhang Jai's residence in the southeast of the city.

Officers and soldiers had already begun to patrol the road, Gan Sui detoured several times, and finally came to Zhang's mansion.

The mansion is in chaos.

Zhang Zha wanted to leave as soon as possible, but he was not willing to part with the large sum of money he had brought in for trying to buy a stake in the maritime trade company, so he was in a hurry to let his servants load the car.

There were too many people here, and Gan Sui knew that he couldn't hold back his hand, so he drew his knife and started chopping melons and vegetables all the way.

Anyone who has seen him can't stay.

The vigor of being a vanguard of the army, and the family martial arts that have never fallen behind in these years, make Gan Sui like a god of killing, unstoppable all the way, even if the other pirates who are still in Zhang's house will fight to the death Desperate, also failed to survive two or three rounds under Gan Sui's hands.

After clearing out more than [-] people in the yard, Gan Sui couldn't find Chen Ning, and he tried to ask Zhang Zha, who had been left until the end, to no avail.

The sounds of people and horses neighing on the street are getting denser and thicker. The smell of blood here is so thick that people will soon find out. Gan Sui sighed and said that he has done everything he can. can escape by themselves.

I hurried to Zhang Jai's study and bedroom to search briefly, but didn't find anything sensitive, so Gan casually set it on fire again.

In fact, I also wanted to do the same thing and throw those twenty dozen corpses into the fire, but it was too late.

When the fire started, Gan Sui left the mansion, jumped into an inland river that passed through the city nearby, dived all the way, and finally left Dinghai County through Xishuimen.

Gan Sui didn't know that the most important thing he should search for was Zhang Ja's corpse.

Yesterday, I had to pass the 'Zuo Xiang autograph', which is related to the family's future. No one in Zhang Zha could believe it, and kept it close to him.

Gan Sui didn't do an autopsy and didn't have time to deal with the corpse, so the officers and soldiers who heard the news quickly found the letter in Zhang Zha's arms.

……

Less than half an hour after the assassination incident, seeing fires in the city again, the navy captain Hua Gao, who thought the matter was more serious than he imagined, immediately declared martial law, and no one, no matter what ship, inside or outside Dinghai County, received the order. Waiting for verification, those who act without authorization will be killed without mercy.

However, things progressed faster than Huagao expected.

Just after I went to see the little ancestor and confirmed that Zhu Yuan was fine, someone came to report that it was a little girl who claimed to be the maid next to Mr. Yinghai Envoy, and had caught two assassins.

Ok.

To be precise, it is one person and one head.

Before Hua Gao had time to deal with it, another Xuncheng officer and soldier brought Zhang Jai's body over, along with the letter in the body's arms.

The faces of Baihu who sent people over were a little pale.

Because I didn't care to stop, I glanced at the letter in advance, and it turned out to be Mr. Zuoxiang...

Baihu's first reaction was that he would not be able to escape a storm that would affect the government and the public. Therefore, he did not feel any credit for discovering the letter, and only hoped that he would not be implicated.

Xiang Er was just kicked unconscious by a certain girl, and he was rescued in time after landing, and he recovered quickly.

Hua Gao personally interrogated.

Under the torture, the ins and outs of the whole incident quickly became clear.

Chen Ning bewitched Zhang Zha to assassinate Zhu Yuan through a letter written by Zuo Xiang, a certain idiot was really persuaded.

In addition, Hua Gao also confirmed another key point of the whole matter. Xiang Er didn't know Gan Sui's name. Fortunately, Yinghai Division has no shortage of people who are good at painting and graphics. Soon, Gan Sui's appearance almost disappeared. It came out right on paper.

Hua Gao is not stupid, he has figured out the ins and outs, but there are too many flaws in the whole matter.

However, when the little ancestor of his lord who was "regarded as a parent" was assassinated, he did not dare to defend and conceal it for the left minister, so he asked Baihu Wenzao, the arch guard who attended the whole trial, to escort Xiang Er and Yi Yi to Jinling overnight.

At the same time, the Naval Governor's Mansion also ignored the rules and quickly sent two teams to Haiyan and Taicang respectively to arrest Zhang and Chen's family.

……

Chen Ning, who was hiding in the bottom cabin of the Japanese boat, didn't know how long time had passed, maybe a day or two, or two or three days. Anyway, he only hoped that the Japanese boat would be farther away from Daming, and a little farther away. He will show up after eating a cornbread.

Chen Ning has already figured it out, he has a whole body of knowledge, and the sailing techniques that were spread out by the previous Yinghai Division, it will definitely not be a problem to persuade the Japanese merchant ship owner to stay with him.

Just closing his eyes and thinking about this, the hull of the ship suddenly stopped, as if hit, and Chen Ning hit his head on the bulkhead.

After cursing bitterly, Chen Ning quickly got up, ignoring his headache.

In case the ship hits the rocks and leaks water, it is the most dangerous for him to stay here.

Carefully walking through each watertight compartment, no water leaks were found, and the ship stopped shaking. Chen Ning was still uneasy, and was hesitating whether to show up ahead of time. When Chen Ning stood still, one of them grinned: "There's a miscellaneous fish here."

Another person said: "Why do you look like us Han people?"

Chen Ning quickly confirmed from the expressions and attire of the two that they were two pirates. Obviously, this Japanese businessman was robbed by pirates.

After the two of them finished speaking, Chen Ning cupped his hands in a calm manner: "I am Chen Ning."

The two pirates didn't show any politeness to him, they went up to catch him and went all the way to the deck, throwing Chen Ning on the ground like a chicken.

Chen Ning didn't panic, got up, brushed his clothes slowly, and looked around.

Not far away, a few short Japanese people were kneeling in front of a person like mud. The person had a square face, dark skin, and was not tall but very majestic. The difference from the surrounding pirates was that he was wearing a black leather armor. .

Confirming that the leader is undoubtedly, Chen Ning bowed his hands to the other party: "Chen Ning, because of the defeat of Zhu Yuan in the assassination of Yinghai, he had to leave his hometown and flee to the sea. Dare I ask this leader, who is his name?"

Chen Ning's calculation is very clear.

At present, among the pirates who are begging for life at sea, the first thing they hate is the Naval Commander's Mansion, and the second is definitely the Ying Haisi.With my own rhetoric, coupled with the previous preparations, it is not difficult to save my life, and I can even go a step further.

Compared with joining the Japanese merchants and going to Japan, joining the pirates is easier for him to display as soon as possible.

Sure enough, when Chen Ning said that, all the pirates around showed strange expressions.

The pirate leader couldn't hide his surprise, he kicked away a Japanese man in front of him, came to Chen Ning, looked him up and down, clasped his fists and said, "I am Zhao Dingxi."
