Chapter 235 Failed Assassination
They observed outside Li Yu's mansion for a few days and found that this was indeed the case. Every day, except for the attendants who came out to buy and the imperial guards outside the door, people were no longer allowed to enter and exit. Even the officials in Yizhou wanted to meet the prince, which was extremely difficult.
Such assassination is undoubtedly their favorite, because after successfully assassinating such a prince of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they did perfectly enough, no one would see it, so that they could return and report their lives calmly.
After three or four days of observation, finally on a heavy rainy night, the assassins felt that their chance had come.
Assassination, they like to do it on rainy nights. The rain can wash away many traces, and the sound of the rain can also prevent the attendants and guards outside the door from detecting the situation inside the house so quickly.
That night, they dispatched five people, which was a very luxurious lineup in the history of their operations. Two of them were observed outside the front and back doors of the mansion so that they could escape from the exact place.
The three people entering the mansion directly touched Li Yu's room on the topographic map of the mansion they had drawn before.
Sure enough, from a distance to the wall, there were two imperial guards standing outside the door of the room, and candles could be seen vaguely inside the room, which was obviously the room where Li Yu was.
The three of them looked at each other and then nodded together. The tacit understanding formed over the years allowed them to understand each other's meaning without any language.
Afterwards, one of them quickly walked around the back of the house, then shot out with a small stone, and fell into front of the two guards.
Sure enough, when the two guards saw the stones on the ground, they all carried weapons and went to the back of the house.
At this moment, the other two assassins moved quickly and climbed to the room with the help of the bulge on the wall.
In the house, it is the best place for them to see everything clearly and not be discovered, because in this era, the roofs of houses are usually bricks and tiles, and it would be better to make a gap to observe the situation inside the house.
The two of them moved a tile in the corner bit by bit, and then looked into the room carefully.
At this time, the disadvantage of heavy rain also emerged. They could not remove all the tiles, otherwise the rain would fall into the house and would be discovered by the people in the house soon.
However, in their experience, this little gap was enough. Although there were a few candles in the house, no one sat in front of the table. When they looked inside, there was clearly a person lying on the bed.
This is obviously another good news for them. If Li Yu sat in front of the table, they would be likely to be discovered by Li Yu immediately, no matter whether they entered through the door or the window. Once they were discovered, although they felt that the result of killing Li Yu might not have any impact, many imperial guards would come soon. At that time, it would be difficult for them to escape without any hesitation.
Although when Chisong Dezan came, they told them that they would do anything to save their lives, they naturally didn't want to do anything stupid.
When they saw this scene, the two of them decided at that time and didn't wait. At this moment, they entered the house and cut off Li Qing's head before talking about it!
And now that people are already asleep, there is no need for them to open the imperial guards outside the door to turn in through the door or window, but can go directly from the roof. As long as the sound is not loud, Li Yu who is sleeping soundly will not be awakened by them.
They immediately removed a few bricks and tiles, then moved down from the roof, and moved little by little on the roof, stepping on the beams and moving towards the bed on the roof.
Soon, the two of them arrived directly above the bed and slowly pulled out their own short swords on the beam of the room to deal with Li Yu who was sleeping. Obviously, it was just a single sword for them.
The two of them determined the situation around them again, then looked at each other, jumped, and all fell lightly in front of the bed.
At this time, the people on the bed were sleeping loudly with their backs facing them, snoring, obviously they didn't notice them.
Before they came, Chisong Dezan almost asked them to do a lot of homework and told them that Li Yu had been the Grand Marshal of the World of the Tang Dynasty. It was impossible for them to not know any martial arts at all. Now when the two assassins saw it, it was obvious that the Grand Marshal had a little exaggeration.
After they landed at the head of the bed, they did not stop for a long time. After taking a look at the window, one of them raised the short blade in his hand and rushed to the back of the sleeping person on the bed.
As they imagined, blood was gushing out, and because they had a very accurate position, this knife was killed directly, and he did not give him any chance to call for help, and he did not even get a chance to scream.
This is a perfect knife. At this point, they only have one task left, which is to cut off Li Yu's head and take it back.
However, when the two of them were ecstatic, they were a little stunned when they turned over the body on the bed.
Whether they were in Tubo or in Jiannan Road, they had seen Li Yu's avatar for no less than a hundred times, and they deeply rooted Li Yu's image in their heads. Although there may be a little error in the portrait, the person in front of them was not Li Yu no matter how they looked at it.
After walking around, I found out that the wrong person was killed, and the person I killed was obviously not a person who could live in this room. The two of them immediately felt a little strange. They might have been trapped.
At this time, of course, there was no time to think about it, and the two of them ran wildly towards the window as soon as possible.
As a result, when they touched the window, they felt a chill. The window was blocked at no time. Obviously, this was a cage tailored for them. The other party obviously had to calculate that they would choose to come today.
