Chapter 657: Chapter 657 A Series Of Assassinations (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When the assassins saw the riderless horses, they were dumbfounded.
At the same time, they noticed King Rui and the rest standing some distance away. They hurriedly rushed over.
“Get ready, throw!” Zhang Ping shouted.
The oil lamps were quickly flung toward the assassins in an instant, and a torch was accurately thrown onto the spilled alcohol.
In an instant, the intense alcohol formed a wall of fire. Also, the assassins couldn’t differentiate the knockout powder from the smell of alcohol fumes.
But soon, a portion of the men in black began to feel dizzy.
Gu Chengrui sent over another ten jars and said, “Throw them a little closer.”
Zhang Ping nodded. After the assassins broke through the first line of defense, he gave another order and threw them along with another torch.
This time, the oil lamps were filled with tear gas, so once they burned, the choking smell soared into the sky, making it difficult for the assassins even to stand still.
After the smell dispersed a little, Gu Chengrui said, “It’s fine to enter now.”
Zhang Ping immediately waved his sword and rushed in with his men.
Zhou Huaiming had his men take out their bows and arrows to shoot at the assassins.
Under the bombardment from various angles, the assassins were quickly defeated, but two at the edge turned around and ran.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she immediately chased after them. She wanted to see who was behind this.
After Zhang Ping and the rest were done, they were also a little dizzy from the knockout powder. Fortunately, they did not faint.
With Zhou Ying’s help, they found all the horses and the scout killed by the assassins. The group quickly rushed to the capital.
After they entered the city, the two assassins Zhou Ying followed entered a manor.
What she did not expect was that the one who was behind this was King Kang.
When he heard that only the two of them were left out of the 200 people he had sent out, King Kang was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground and cursed, “I knew that Gu Chengrui and his wife would ruin my plans sooner or later. I didn’t expect it to really come true.
“Since you refuse my goodwill, don’t blame me for not giving you face.”
He looked at the assassins and asked, “You two didn’t leave any evidence, did you?”
“No, we didn’t even bring any money with us when we went over.”
“Very good. When you go back, train well. Also, think of a way to deal with the chili powder and knockout powder. I don’t want something similar to happen again.”
“Yes.” The two men in black looked at each other and walked out with a sigh of relief.
However, it was too early for them to celebrate. They were stabbed to death by King Kang’s two guards the moment they stepped out of the door.
The two men in black looked at King Kang unwillingly before they died. They wanted to ask him why he turned back on his words.
“Only the dead can keep secrets.” King Kang replied expressionlessly.
His assassination attempt on the Third Prince tonight must be kept under wraps. Otherwise, King Kang would face his father’s suspicion and his third brother’s pressure. Even if he survived this ordeal, he would lose a layer of skin.
King Kang turned to one of the guards and said, “Inform Uncle Bai and tell him to find a way to deal with those chili powders as soon as possible.
“In addition, the next time there’s any mission, remember to prepare an antidote. We wouldn’t have faced such a heavy loss if we had those prepared.” “Yes.” The guard responded and left.
At the same time, he didn’t agree to his master’s orders. Antidote pills were expensive, and giving them to everyone would be a huge expense.
Most importantly, not everyone was willing to use such a hefty dose of knockout powder. It could only be said that these two teams were extremely unlucky today.
However, this was also good money spent on his brother-in-arms, so he did not object to it..
