To the south of Jinan Mansion, is the famous Dongyue Taishan, the head of the five mountains. The Taishan Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, with peaks and peaks stacked on top of each other, majestic and beautiful. Among them, there is a mountain pass between the fan cliff and the Aolai Peak in the west, which is connected to a large canyon in the north-south direction, and is the necessary place to go south from the northern foot of Mount Tai. Standing in the canyon and looking at the peaks on both sides, the cliffs are thousands of thousands, and the cliffs are in the clouds, which is inevitably dizzying.

Xiao Yu was lying on a cliff on the side of the Grand Canyon at this time, hiding his figure by the rocks and bushes in front of him, staring intently at the mountain pass to the north, quietly waiting for the arrival of the target.

Xiao Yu had been waiting here motionless for a day and a night, as if he had become one with his surroundings and become part of the cliff. But as a professional killer, this situation is just commonplace. Xiao Yu understands that as a hunter, the first thing you need to do in order to successfully capture your prey is to have enough patience. The longest he'd ever waited was three days and three nights of sleepless sleep until he arrived at his target and then delivered the fatal blow.

In addition to Xiao Yu, there were also five brothers hiding in multiple directions on both sides of the canyon. On weekdays, the average assassination mission is completed by one or two people, and there are no more than three people at most. But this time, the master left only the little junior sister to stay in her hometown, and sent the rest of the junior brothers out, which shows the importance and arduousness of this assassination mission.

As night fell, the mountains near and far gradually took on a black coat, like giant monsters crouching on the ground. The cries of crows could be heard from the depths of the valley, and the low roars of beasts could be heard from time to time in the mountains in the distance. Heavy clouds obscured the starlight, and thunder and lightning roared faintly above the clouds, signaling an impending rainstorm.

Xiao Yu closed his eyes and began to meditate, and his whole body entered a realm of emptiness. Suddenly, he felt something, and opened his eyes suddenly, looking through the clouds and mist, to the mountain pass to the north. Out of the thick black mist, a man with a torch appeared. Then the second, then the third, until a mighty procession appeared in the canyon.

It's finally here. Xiao Yu thought to himself, looking at the big flag embroidered with the blood-red word "Yan" standing in front of the team.

Although it was marching in the darkness of night, the speed of the team was not slow at all. The soldiers' armor was covered with dust and wounds, and some had no armor at all, only a tattered cloth garment, apparently having recently experienced a great battle. There were no noisy voices, no military songs, no slogans, no complaints, everyone marched in silence, exuding a smell of iron-blooded slaughter.

Under the banner, a general reined in his horse and made a gesture with his right hand to stop advancing, and the whole team quietly stopped. The general's eagle-like gaze pierced through the layers of fog and looked at the cliffs on both sides, as if to see every grass and tree on both sides of the canyon clearly.

As the leader of the personal guards under the tent of Yan King Zhu Di, Lei Poyun must always be vigilant to ensure the absolute safety of King Yan. At this time, nearly half of the team had already entered the canyon, but due to the limited terrain, it could not be deployed, and it could only maintain a long snake formation. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are steep, and if there is an enemy ambush, it will be a great risk for the army to not be able to look at each other.

Lei Poyun considered the possibility of various emergencies and how to deal with them, and unconsciously stopped for a long time. At this time, a light horse rushed to the front from the rear, and immediately a personal guard clasped his fists and saluted: "General Lei, the prince asked why you stopped advancing?"

Lei Poyun replied sideways, "This canyon is steep and easy to ambush. The road ahead is unknown, so don't rush in. ”

The guard said loudly: "The prince asked the little one to tell the general that our army has conquered Jinan and has annihilated the surrounding enemy forces. At this time, the morale is high, and the general should not hesitate to attack the south without stopping. ”

"This ......," Lei Poyun hesitated, "but if there is really an enemy ambush on both sides, then the prince will be in great danger." ”

"General, this is the prince's order. The guard said.

"Okay, then move on. Lei Poyun gritted his teeth and waved his arm, and the team slowly pulled out again, completely entering the canyon.

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the entire canyon and the wide, ornate carriage in the middle of the long procession. This carriage is the carriage of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, after days of marching, the carriage is stained with a lot of mud, which looks a little dusty, but it can't hide the graceful and luxurious temperament.

After the lightning, several muffled thunders sounded above the thick clouds, followed by raindrops. Falling along with the raindrops were a few sword lights on the cliffs on both sides.

Those cold sword lights suddenly appeared in the sky like lightning, and to everyone's surprise, they were about to land on the carriage in the middle of the group.

Suddenly, several knights around the carriage jumped up from their horses at the same time, unsheathed their long swords, and weaved a sword net on the roof of the carriage. With a few sounds of "rubbing", the sword light that fell from the sky was all blocked back!

At this time, the guards around the carriage had already reacted, and someone shouted: "Escort!" More and more soldiers approached the carriage, and Lei Poyun, who was far away in front of the team, also knew what was happening, roared, and flew back to help.

Several black shadows leaping down from the cliff seemed to be ready to miss a blow, and after a slight adjustment, they attacked the carriage again from different directions. The sword light was fierce, and the guards in front of the carriage were struck one after another, and they didn't even have time to delay the other party for a moment.

It was the previous knights who stood in the way of the carriage and fought the Assassins. Those people are the strongest martial arts among Zhu Di's personal guards, carefully selected and trained by Lei Poyun, and guarded Zhu Di's side as secret guards, protecting Zhu Di's safety at all times.

Although those knights were experienced in battle, they were still a little caught off guard by the strange methods of professional assassins. In an instant, one of the knights was strangled by an extremely thin wire rope, and the other knight was stabbed in the thigh by a sword and fell off his horse, completely losing his combat effectiveness.

Seeing the soldiers gathered in front of the carriage fall to the ground one after another under the light of those swords, a figure flew back from the front with great speed. With a loud shout, a domineering sword light fell, instantly forcing several black-clothed assassins back a few steps. Lei Poyun held a long knife, his eyes were wide open, and he stood in front of the carriage, like a god.

The black-clothed assassin seemed to be a little afraid of Lei Poyun's domineering sword technique, and hesitated slightly for a while, holding back. In the midst of this hesitation, a crowd of soldiers immediately filled the area around the carriage, throwing their swords and guns outwards to prevent the Assassins from attacking again.

Seeing that the assassination had failed, he had lost the opportunity, and if he did not retreat, he was afraid that he would not be able to retreat from this army, so he made a decisive whistle, and several assassins raised their arms, and several crossbow arrows suddenly shot towards the carriage, and the soldiers next to the carriage screamed and fell to the ground, and for a time it became a mess.

Taking advantage of the chaos, several Assassins retreated sharply, and were about to disappear into the jungle on either side of the canyon. Lei Poyun was ashamed of his poor guards, and was eager to atone for his crimes, so he roared angrily: "Don't let the assassins go! Leave some people to protect the prince, and the rest will chase after me!" and chased in the direction of the assassin's escape with a group of military masters.

The raindrops fell more and more densely, gradually joining in a string, and thunder rumbled above the canyon, and torrential rain poured down. There was still chaos around the carriage, and everyone only thought that the assassin had fled, and was about to gather the men and horses and count the number of people, but they didn't expect a sudden change!

One of the soldiers who had just gathered in front of the carriage from nearby to the Savior suddenly drew his long sword, and the sword flashed, and the other soldiers in front of the carriage were caught off guard and killed one after another. At this time, there was no one in front of the carriage, and the man shouted, and with a shake of his long sword, he pierced the heavy curtain of the carriage, and was about to pierce the person sitting at the back of the curtain with a sword!
