C2400 Assassination! Action! (1/2)
No matter how busy he was, he could not delay his meal. Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many citizens, the two policemen took some time to run to the pine forest behind them and find a place to carry people.
According to the rules, police officers were not allowed to leave their posts or eat anything while on duty. In order to prevent any complaints, the two of them had to sneak into the woods and stuff some sandwiches inside.
However, they never expected that there would be an ambush in the forest. Before they even had a chance to eat their sandwiches, they heard two muffled thumps as a heavy metal rod smashed into the back of their heads. They didn't even make a sound as they collapsed onto the ground.
With his two hands, he dragged the unconscious policeman into the forest and began to strip without a word.
”Fedya, Bernanke... Hurry up and change into the police uniform. There's not much time left! Hide your pistols! ” With Di Ao's command in the forest, the three assassins quickly stripped the two police officers of their place.
The two bullet-filled Colts were hidden in the inner pocket of their police uniforms, while the two bulky hats were pressed low to prevent anyone from recognizing them. Soon, the two 'policemen' who had finished eating came out from the woods.
The young girl who completed the quest slightly nodded her head and quickly withdrew from the crowd of onlookers. She then quickly left the scene, and the two disguised killers started to maintain order in place of the police.
Perhaps it was because everyone's attention was focused on the west side of the road, and they didn't notice that the two policemen beside them had spoken in the wrong accents.
”Coming …” Look... I saw the bright yellow umbrella. They said that even the Emperor of China had to bring a bright yellow umbrella, and a lot of flags … ”
The crowd immediately became restless. Countless footsteps could not help but press forward. The two policemen brandished their batons and maintained order, looking more professional than ever.
The arrogant Zai Chun finally appeared, it was exactly 40 minutes later than the scheduled time, when Di Ao who was dressed casually looked at the crowd, he immediately became ecstatic in his heart, ”Is this guy crazy? You are truly courting death! ”
Originally, the fifty cavalrymen had been sent a report of the situation and had been divided into two parts, the front and the back. However, in order to maintain order, they had formed a loose formation.
This was the perfect opportunity to assassinate Tongzhi. What was even weirder was that the Emperor of China had actually opened up the sun shelter, allowing the gunner to easily locate him, this was truly suicidal.
That moment, even time seemed to have slowed down in Di Ao's eyes. He had entered a place where he had forgotten everything, and his eyes were only focused on his target's figure. He was waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
The entire plan to assassinate the Tongzhi Emperor was extremely meticulous. He had gathered five hundred and fifty thousand worth of funds, so one could imagine how meticulous the preparation had been.
Atop the Zhiyuan Warship, Xiang Ying seemed to have sensed something, his heart suddenly dropped, ”They're going to make a move soon? ”According to my estimation, it should be about time …”
”It should have started half an hour ago. According to the plan, it should have started half an hour ago …”
”No, no, no …” You don't understand. You don't understand that kid's personality. I've studied him. He's a very, very narcissistic, arrogant, vain person. Every time he flaunts his way through the city, he would put on a show of kinship with the people! ”
”He really enjoys the feeling of being worshipped by tens of thousands of people. This is his nature and also his weakness! ”I'm sure he'll open his awning halfway through, and he'll take the initiative to slow down and interact with the citizens by waving his hands …”
”If something unexpected happens, he will act in public. Trust me, there is no one in this world other than the leader that has a deeper understanding of him than me!”
Lin Zhen's face was pale white as he laughed bitterly. ”That's right, in this world, perhaps only the enemy and people who are in love will understand each other the best. One is extreme hatred, the other is extreme love!”
