Jiang Shihu is very self-aware and knows that he cannot be a qualified assassin. Whether it is martial arts or character, he knows that he cannot kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles. In particular, he was worried that he would reveal his flaws in front of that hating person and be found guilty of something minor. If he couldn't kill Sun Tu, he would really die in peace.
So for this opportunity, he calculated a lot and made a lot of preparations. For example, he blended in among the common people, and was in a position in the middle of the team that was neither too conspicuous nor completely ignored by Sun Tu. Also, when everyone else stood up, he kowtowed while pretending to shed tears of gratitude. The purpose is to attract Sun Tu to him.
Another reason for kneeling down and kowtowing is that you can lower your head to avoid Sun Tu's gaze, thereby ensuring that your expression and eyes will not come into contact with him, so that he will not see any flaws.
Everything was so exquisite, enough to show his ability to make every plan, but in the end it was all sparse and sparse, leaving only a few flaws - Jiang Shihu bowed his head and only raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Shihu before activating the arrows in his sleeves. He only focused on grasping the opponent's position, but did not notice that Sun Tu's hand was pressed on the handle of the knife. He never let down his guard, even when he was among seemingly submissive people!
Therefore, when murderous intent suddenly arose and cold arrows roared towards him, Sun Tu could retreat immediately. At the same time, it was definitely too late to unsheath the sword, so all he could do was to move the sheathed sword to his chest.
The imaginary scream did not sound, but instead there was a crisp sound. When Jiang Shihu raised his eyes and looked over, he saw that Sun Tu had a knife across his chest. The arrow he was determined to win was struck by the knife, rebounded and fell to the ground diagonally - he missed!
For a moment, Jiang Shihu felt that his entire soul had been sucked away, and his eyes were dull. And when he quickly came to his senses and wanted to do something again, the guards behind Sun Tu had already rushed forward ferociously. The one who rushed at the front was Tang Feng. He slashed the assassin's throat with the knife in his hand, wishing he could kill him on the spot. The corpse was broken into thousands of pieces!
If Sun Tu hadn't shouted in time: "Stay alive!" Jiang Shihu would have turned into a pile of minced meat. After this sound, the knife in Tang Feng's hand suddenly spun, and he used the back of the knife to hit the assassin's shoulder hard. He screamed and fell to the ground. Then, the others rushed over like wolves and pressed him firmly to the ground. Not only were all the other weapons and hidden weapons on his body stripped away, but his jaw was also broken off. The dislocation prevented him from even committing suicide.
At the same time, other personal guards had already surrounded Sun Tu, blocking him firmly from everyone, for fear that something would happen again. And those people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all knelt down on the ground without anyone shouting. They were shaking like a withered leaf in the sky, for fear that they would be implicated and lose their lives.
It can be said that the calmest person among the people at the scene at this time was actually Sun Tu. His eyes only glanced at the blue-black arrow on the ground, and he exhaled another breath: "I knew it earlier. Something like this will happen, but luckily we are prepared.”
When these words fell into Jiang Shihu's ears, he was immediately shaken, and then he forgot to struggle anymore. He just looked up in confusion and met Sun Tu's eyes. Sun Tu still had doubts in his eyes because he didn't
He didn't recognize Jiang Shihu. The two of them had never met each other before. Although Sun Tu was the general who commanded everything during the battle in Jiangzhou, he had never met the second-in-command of this fierce dragon.
He just guessed another layer of the other party's identity: "The fire in the palace and outside was caused by your arrangement, right?"
Jiang Shihu was shocked again. Although he did not and could not speak, Sun Tu already got the answer just from the change in his expression: "It is indeed you. If I hadn't just found out that you are not dead, I also escaped from the secret passage, I’m afraid I’m really going to catch you this time.”
This is a fact. If he hadn't known that a guy who hated him deeply had escaped, Sun Tu wouldn't have been on guard at all times, and he wouldn't have been able to make the most correct response at the moment of crisis, using his saber to kill the arrow. Blocked.
But his words made the people around him even more angry. Not only the soldiers of the Song Army, but also the common people looked at Jiang Shihu with hatred. Their home was actually destroyed by this man, and now he assassinated General Sun in public. , this is trying to drag everyone into the abyss. If it weren't for the soldiers of the Song Army who were surrounded by unsheathed swords and guns, these people would have pounced on this harmful bastard and beat him to death.
If his eyes were really lethal, Jiang Shihu would probably be riddled with holes at this moment. Countless eyes of hatred and hostility were staring at him. After a moment, Sun Tu took a step forward and looked at him condescendingly: "Who are you, and why are you so deliberate and willing to kill me at all costs?" Then he asked. Come, someone has already closed Jiang Shihu's chin again, and the soldier punches him in the lower abdomen: "Tell me, who are you..."
After groaning, Jiang Shihu chuckled: "You want to know? I won't tell you. It's just a death. Since I fell into your hands, I already knew that this would be the end..." He was in Wu Kingdom The imperial court had always kept a low profile, and few people in the city recognized that he was a famous military advisor in the Wu army.
But at this moment, a sharp voice sounded from behind: "Jiang Shihu, you are still alive!" Just this sound made him stiffen, and he looked at the person dullly, and then his pupils Suddenly he shrank like a needle: "You... Zhang Heng!" This name also burst out from between his teeth, because he remembered clearly that this guy was also one of the chief culprits in killing his brother!
Zhang Heng's eyes were also full of hatred. Even though the injury to his broken arm had not yet healed, he still ran over quickly and rushed forward. He swung out his remaining right hand and hit Jiang Shihu with a bang. On the cheek: "You also have today, just in time to avenge my brother!" As he said, he was about to fight again, but was stopped in time by the soldiers on the side: "Brother Zhang Heng, General Sun must not be arrogant here!" Several people They worked together to pull and hug him, and finally blocked him, but his eyes were still staring at Jiang Shihu, whose cheeks were swollen, as if they were about to spit fire, and he looked like he was about to bite him. As if swallowed.
Sun Tu recited the name Jiang Shihu several times, and then suddenly remembered something: "Is he the military advisor who is always mentioned in the rebel army? Or is he a fish that slipped through the net of the water bandits outside Jiangzhou City? ?”
"Yes, it's him!" Zhang Heng still stared at him, "Even if he turned into ashes,
I can recognize him right away too! It was he who originally planned to kill my third brother, and then this time in Hangzhou, they killed my second brother again. With such deep hatred, you and I are irreconcilable! "As he said that, he wanted to rush forward and take action, but was still held tightly by someone.
Sun Tu had fully understood at this time and looked at Jiang Shihu: "Is it because of the suppression of Jiangzhou that you wanted to kill me at all costs?"
At this time, Jiang Shihu had nothing to hide. He looked back at Sun Tu and said: "Yes, you killed my brother, and it is only natural that I seek revenge from you! It's a pity that my plan in Changshu failed to succeed, and I actually let you sit in power. At this point, even the last chance is gone. God is really unfair! But Sun Tu, don’t be too happy. Even if you kill me now, I will turn into a ghost and come to you for revenge. !" At this time, he had no fear or begging for mercy, only deep-seated hatred and obsession. In his eyes, death was not the end, but just a new beginning.
Sun Tu smiled, a smile of relaxation and relief. He had indeed been a little surprised before, why a person whom he had no memory of could have such strong hatred for him. Now that the answer was revealed, he felt relieved. Then, he looked at the other party and said: "You are wrong, God is fair, that's why you ended up like this. Back in Jiangzhou, you did a lot of evil and took human lives seriously, so I will lead people to suppress you." , but you escaped. But the cycle of nature and the restoration of the law, you finally fell into my hands. And this time, you committed an even greater crime. It would be too cheap for you to just die. As for what you call If you turn into a fierce ghost, if there is such a thing as a ghost, I am afraid that when you die, the ghosts of those who were killed by you will be the first to ask for justice from you!"
Having said this, he suddenly looked around and shouted loudly to the people who were still full of anger and fear: "Fellow folks, the truth is now clear. It is this thief who caused this disaster in Hangzhou. I will make him a canon." Punishment, to comfort the innocent people who died, and to correct the laws of our Song Dynasty!"
"The general is wise. This traitor really deserves to die."
"Kill him quickly and bring evil to our family and home..."
After being stunned for a moment, the people around him started shouting, looking at Jiang Shihu with anger in their eyes, wishing that he would die immediately.
Of course Sun Tu would not go against the will of the people at this time, and immediately said: "Push him down and kill him on the spot!" There was no need to go through any trial procedures, just kill him directly in front of the military camp.
Just when the soldiers were about to take action, Zhang Heng said loudly: "General, I humbly want to take revenge with my own hands. I want to chop off the head of this thief to comfort the souls of the two brothers..."
After Sun Tu nodded, Zhang Heng immediately strode forward, took a ghost-headed knife from the hand of someone on the side, and shouted loudly: "Jiang Shihu, the one who kills you is Zhang Heng!" Before it fell, one hand was already swung down like lightning. With just a puff, Jiang Shihu's head was separated from his body, and then rolled out with a rumble. The headless body also fell sideways, with blood covering the ground.
With this one blow, the feud that had been entangled for several years was finally settled, and the last uneasy factor in Hangzhou City was completely eradicated!
