Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

The wind outside the palace was getting stronger, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. Zhu Wen stood in front of the high dragon throne, his eyes as sharp as an eagle. He knew that this world would eventually belong to him, but the road to power was full of unknowns and dangers.

The night was as dark as ink. In the dense forest outside the city of Bianliang, Shi Jingxiang's figure shuttled between the shadows of the trees. His eyes were as cold as the cold wind on a winter night. He summoned Huang Chao's old subordinates Wei Jinchi, Wei Jinbiao, Yu Lao Liu Si, Poison Scorpion Zhao Wu, Mad Dog Zhao Liu, Genius Swordsman Li Qi, Chu Chu Zheng Ba, Flame Hand Wang Jiu, Phantom Zhang Shi, Ninja Wang Eleven, Thunder Ji Twelve, and formed an assassination group.

"Everyone, Zhu Wen is suspicious and has become suspicious of me. We must take the initiative to clip his wings." Shi Jingxiang's voice was low and powerful.

Wei Jinchi nodded, "Master Shi, we will listen to you. Who should we start with?"

Shi Jingxiang's eyes were like knives. "Han Zhu, Bian Yong, and Zhang Taiyi are Zhu Wen's right-hand men. Their families will be our primary targets."

Yu Lao Liu Si smiled grimly, "Master Shi, leave it to us. We will make sure they disappear silently."

Shi Jingxiang nodded, "Okay, we must act quickly and ruthlessly without leaving any trace."

Under the cover of night, the assassination group split up and sneaked into Bianliang City like ghosts. Outside Han Zhu's mansion, the poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu and the mad dog Zhao Liu approached silently. Their target was Han Zhu's wife and children.

"Zhao Wu, you are responsible for leading the guards away, and I will go in to deal with the target." Mad dog Zhao Liu whispered.

Poison scorpion Zhao Wu nodded, took out a small bottle from his arms, waved it gently, and a faint fragrance wafted out. The guards smelled the fragrance and fell asleep one after another.

Mad dog Zhao Liu sneaked into Han Zhu's mansion. His movements were swift and silent, like a ghost in the night. He found Han Zhu's wife and children. The dagger in his hand flashed coldly in the moonlight. When he was about to attack, a masked man suddenly jumped out of the dark and blocked him.

"Who?" Mad dog Zhao Liu shouted in a low voice, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

The masked man did not answer, but flashed, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at Zhao Liu like a meteor. Zhao Liu reacted quickly, waved the dagger, and blocked the masked man's attack. The two fought fiercely in the small room, and the cold light of the sword and the dagger intertwined, like lightning in the night.

"Who are you? Why did you save them?" Mad Dog Zhao Liu shouted angrily, trying to find flaws in the masked man's moves.

The masked man remained silent, but his sword skills became more and more fierce, and each sword pointed directly at Zhao Liu's vital points. Zhao Liu gradually felt the pressure, and he knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose.

At the same time, the poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu accidentally stepped into a trap when he led away the guards outside the mansion. The ground suddenly collapsed, and Zhao Wu fell into a bottomless black hole. He was horrified to find that this trap seemed to be specially prepared for him.

"Damn, this is a trap set by Han Zhu!" Zhao Wu cursed in his heart, trying to find a way to escape.

MansionInside, the battle between Mad Dog Zhao Liu and the masked man became more and more intense. Zhao Liu gradually lost his opponent and was stabbed in the shoulder by the masked man, and blood gushed out. He fell to the ground in pain, and the masked man took the opportunity to pick up Han Zhu's wife and children and quickly fled the scene.

"Zhao Liu, you failed!" The masked man's voice was cold, like ice.

Mad Dog Zhao Liu gritted his teeth, but was unable to fight again. He knew that this operation had completely failed and he would also face Zhu Wen's wrath.

Outside the mansion, the poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu struggled in the black hole for a long time and finally found a way to escape. He climbed out of the black hole in a panic, but found that his companions had disappeared.

"Master Shi, we have been tricked!" Zhao Wu said in his heart. He knew that this operation had completely failed and he would also face Zhu Wen's wrath.

Mad Dog Zhao Liu and Poison Scorpion Zhao Wu gathered in a deserted temple, both of them looked extremely gloomy. They knew that this failure not only made them lose face, but also made Zhu Wen deeply suspicious of them.

"Zhao Liu, this failure cannot be let go. We must re-plan and give Han Zhu a fatal blow." Poison Scorpion Zhao Wu's voice was low and powerful.

Mad Dog Zhao Liu nodded, with a glimmer of ruthlessness in his eyes, "You are right, we can't just give up. This time, I will dress up as a quack doctor, sneak into Han Zhu's mansion, and look for an opportunity to attack."

Poison Scorpion Zhao Wu smiled slightly, "Then I will dress up as a Taoist priest and use Taoist magic to confuse Han Zhu's family and make them lose their composure."

The two discussed and decided to act separately. Mad Dog Zhao Liu changed into the clothes of a quack doctor, carrying a medicine box, and quietly left the temple. Poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu changed into a Taoist robe, holding a whisk, looking like an immortal.

Mad dog Zhao Liu came to Han Zhu's mansion and knocked on the door. The doorman opened the door and saw a quack doctor standing outside the door, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Dr., what are you doing here?" the doorman asked.

Mad dog Zhao Liu smiled slightly, "I am here to treat the lady in the mansion. I heard that she has been unwell recently, so I came to offer her good medicine."

The doorman hesitated for a moment, but still let Mad Dog Zhao Liu enter the mansion. Zhao Liu was secretly happy in his heart, he knew that he had succeeded halfway.

At the same time, Poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu also came to the vicinity of Han Zhu's mansion. He found a secluded corner and began to perform Taoist magic. He muttered something in his mouth, waved the whisk in his hand lightly, and suddenly, a faint smoke spread.

The servants in the mansion smelled the smoke and felt dizzy and slowed down. The poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu took the opportunity to sneak into the mansion and began to create chaos.

Mad dog Zhao Liu looked for opportunities in the mansion and finally found Han Zhu's wife. He pretended to be concerned, felt the pulse of the wife, and then took out a bottle of pills from the medicine box and handed it to the wife.

"Madam, this is the elixir passed down from my family. After taking it, it will definitely cure the disease." Mad dog Zhao Liu said.

MadamNodding gratefully, he took the pill and was about to take it when suddenly there was a noise in the mansion. Mad dog Zhao Liu was startled, knowing that the poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu had already started to act.

He took the opportunity to say goodbye and quickly left his wife's room, ready to reunite with the poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu. However, as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a group of servants rushing towards him.

"Catch him, he is an assassin!" the servants shouted loudly.

Mad dog Zhao Liu's heart sank, knowing that he had been exposed, he quickly turned around and fled out of the mansion.

At the same time, the chaos created by the poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu in the mansion also attracted Han Zhu's attention. Han Zhu rushed to the scene with a group of guards.

"Zhao Wu, you can't escape this time!" Han Zhu said coldly.

Poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu was startled, knowing that he was in a desperate situation, he quickly performed Taoist magic and tried to escape. However, Han Zhu had been prepared. At his command, the guards quickly surrounded the poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu.

"Zhao Wu, you can't escape this time!" Han Zhu said coldly.

Poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu was shocked and knew that he was in a desperate situation. He quickly used Taoist magic to try to escape. However, Han Zhu had been prepared. At his command, the guards quickly surrounded the poisonous scorpion Zhao Wu.
