Chapter 121

Under the night, the cold wind is blowing.

Goose feather like snow, clattering down, covering the whole ground, making the whole land, are dressed in silver. Too much ice and snow, even at night, is not particularly dark, after all, all around is white snow.

On the official road, someone is riding on the horse.

People on horseback, wearing a black cloak, separated the ice and snow.

Under the cloak was a thin cheek.

The cheek had long narrow eyes, slightly sunken eyes, no flesh on both cheeks, but bright eyes. In his eyes, there was a faint cold light.

That eye light gives a person's feeling, as if is a wolf general.

His name is Deng Zhan, from Jingzhou.

He is a Ranger in Xiangyang.

Deng Zhan has received the task to assassinate Zhang Xiu.

He didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiu's whereabouts, because he didn't need to inquire about it. He had someone to send him a message. Before dark, someone came to find the whereabouts of Zhang Xiu, and then told him where Zhang Xiu lived.

So Deng Zhan came all night.

Although the official road is covered with snow, the horses can still drive and are running fast.

At the moment of the year, Deng Zhan came to the village where Zhang Xiu stayed.

He got off the horse and came to the gate of Zhang Xiu's yard. He looked at this courtyard, his eyes showed a touch of nostalgia, more a touch of faint smile.

He stepped forward, pushed open the wooden door at the gate of the yard, stepped on the snow at the gate, and went in quietly. When he reached the gate, he took off his cloak, took out a dagger from his waist and inserted it into the crack of the door.

Sharp dagger, down the crack of the door, fell on the bolt.

Dagger, little by little.

The door bolt was quickly broken open.

He pushed the door open and entered the room with a slight force in his hand. When Deng Zhan enters the room, Zhang Xiu wakes up when his ears move.

This time south, Zhang Xiu never relaxed vigilance, has been loose outside and tight inside, never sleep at night. He was on guard when he heard the sound coming from the door.

Listen carefully for a while, after hearing the footsteps, more sure someone touched in.

It's not Deng's footsteps.

Deng is old, and his voice is heavier when he walks at night.

The footsteps are too light.

Zhang Xiu lifted the quilt, picked up the Longquan sword, quietly walked to the back of the door, quietly waiting. He stood by the door and didn't go out immediately, because once he went out, it was easy to scare the snake.

He just needs to wait in the room.

Deng Zhan didn't know that Zhang Xiu had woken up. He came to Zhang Xiu's room, stretched out his dagger, fell on the bolt along the crack of the door, and moved the bolt a little bit.

Deng Zhan's heart is very calm.

He has always been very patient in the business of killing people.

As long as he doesn't disturb Zhang Xiu, he sneaks in quietly. Even if Zhang Xiu is good at martial arts, he is sure to kill her. What's more, according to the information, Zhang Xiu also took Huang Yueying South together.

With Huang Yueying as a burden, it is easy for him to kill Zhang Xiu.

If you kill Zhang Xiu, he can get 100 liang of gold.

This is real gold.

It's not other money.

When Deng Zhan pulls the door bolt, a figure suddenly appears behind him.

It's the Deng family.

She had a shallow sleep, hearing and seeing. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she got up to check. After seeing someone prying the door of Zhang Xiu's room, he quietly opened the door and looked at it behind through the crack of the door.

The more she looked, the more familiar she felt.

The person in front of her seems to be very similar to her little son.

"Zhan ER!"

Deng called.

When Deng Zhan heard Deng's voice, he stopped immediately. He looked embarrassed, drew out the dagger and turned to face Deng.

At this moment, he was at a loss and said, "mother, how did you wake up?"

Zhang Xiu in the door, heard the dialogue between the two sides.

He was surprised.

Unexpectedly, it was Deng's son who came to assassinate him.

Zhang Xiu doesn't believe that Deng wants to kill him. If Deng conspires with his son, he can poison his meal at night. There's no need to wait until now to let his son do it.

Zhang Xiu had a good impression on Deng.

So he didn't go out.

He hid in the door and did nothing.

Outside the door, when Deng saw that it was really her son, she saw that Deng Zhan was still holding a sharp dagger in his hand. Her face covered with wind and frost sank down immediately and yelled in a low voice: "come with me!"

"Yes

Deng Zhan looked at Zhang Xiu's house regretfully and followed Deng.

Deng Zhan is always filial and dare not disobey his mother.Even though he was already an adult, he even made a certain reputation among the Rangers in Xiangyang. But in front of his mother, he was as respectful as a child.

Deng Zhan follows Deng and enters the room.

After Deng sat down, looking at his son standing with his hands down, he asked in a deep voice, "zhan'er, tell me honestly why you took a dagger to pry the door. Are you planning to kill the couple?"

Deng Zhan said: "mother, this is my son's private matter. Please don't ask. Don't stop me from doing what I do. "

Deng clenched his fist and said angrily, "with an old lady, you can't be against Zhang Taishou. Why is it bad for Zhang Taishou. Is it because they have collected other people's money and want to kill Zhang Taishou? "

"Yes

Deng Zhan answered directly.

He did not dare to disobey Deng's words, so he said: "if the mother does not let her, the son will not kill her. My son is leaving now. You don't think he came back tonight. When we get out of here, my son will think of a way. "

"You, you're going to piss me off!"

When Deng heard Deng Zhan's words, his face turned red and his ears rose. He said angrily, "you son of a bitch, the old lady put the words here. If you are not good for Zhang Taishou, your mother will die in front of you."

"My mother is illiterate and doesn't know the truth, but she knows the good and the bad."

"When the Huns came, they didn't see anyone else resist. It was Zhang Taishou who took the soldiers to resist, and then killed the Huns to protect the safety of Jingzhou."

"He is a great hero!"

Deng said with a loud voice, and continued: "this evening, Liu Wang, the dog, came to my house to have fun again. He asked me for 500 yuan. It was Zhang Taishou who came forward and solved the problem."

"Prefect Zhang is upright."

"He is a good official."

"How can you murder such a man?"

"My old Deng family is not a scholarly family, but also a loyal and virtuous one. Although there are no rich and noble people in our ancestors, the old lady has taught you since childhood to let you know right and wrong. "

"But now, you are so disappointing."

"You are so virtuous that when an old woman goes underground after her death, how can she explain to your father and face the ancestors of the Deng family?" he said

When it comes to emotion, Deng is already in tears.

As soon as those two lines of tears flowed down, Deng Zhan was immediately flustered and at a loss.

What he fears most is his mother's tears.

"Plop!"

Deng Zhan knelt down straight and said, "mother, my son is wrong. Please calm down."

Wiping his tears, Deng asked, "are you really wrong?"

"My son knows his mistake," Deng said

When Deng Zhan was very young, his father died on the battlefield. It was Deng who brought up his two sons and one daughter with a handful of excrement and urine. Deng Zhan's obedience and respect for his mother.

When Deng heard Deng Zhan's words, he put a smile on his face and said, "since you know your mistake, you should go with your mother to apologize to Zhang Taizhou and pray for Zhang Taizhou's forgiveness."

"Ah

Deng Zhan was surprised.

He counseled: "mother, son, this has not entered Zhang Xiu's room, there is no need to apologize."

"What did you say?" asked Deng

"Nothing, nothing."

Deng Zhan shook his head one after another. He did not dare to fight against his mother.

Deng Shi way: "that you go not to go!"

"Go, son."

Deng Zhanxin's hair is bitter, and he feels sad. This embroidery is just for lodging. How did he come to his home. Originally, Deng Zhan felt that Zhang Xiu's staying in his home made him familiar with the terrain and more conducive to action.

Unexpectedly, I was hit by my mother.

It's really bad luck.
