Chapter 2 Breakthrough
The person wearing the Yan Army's uniform was Xiao Yu.
The target of this assassination was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and in addition, it was an assassination in the army, so it was very difficult to successfully kill the target in an army full of masters. Therefore, before the operation, Xiao Yu and the brothers and sisters determined the final assassination plan after repeated deductions and calculations. That is, through the assassination of other brothers and sisters, disrupting the opponent's line of sight and causing chaos around the target, while Xiao Yu changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier and took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the rescue team, waiting for the opportunity to give the target a fatal blow.
Therefore, all the assassinations just now were just tricks and foreshadowing, and Xiao Yu, who was hidden among the soldiers, was the real killer move!
At this time, the other soldiers in front of the carriage had been caught off guard by Xiao Yu's sword, and no one could stop them in front of them. Xiao Yu was sure that Yan King Zhu Di would not be able to block his sharp sword no matter what, just waiting for the long sword to penetrate his chest, he could use the power of the carriage to cross the team outside, and take advantage of the rain and fog and night to escape into the vast mountains!
However, when the long sword pierced into the carriage, Xiao Yu's heart felt that something was wrong for no reason. But he didn't have time to think carefully about what was wrong, when he felt a strong wind blow through the carriage. Xiao Yu subconsciously slapped his left palm to protect his chest, only to hear a loud sound of "bang!", Xiao Yu's figure flew out upside down, and the carriage of the carriage was also torn apart in an instant under the agitation of the palm wind. A figure in a brocade robe in the carriage jumped up and chased Xiao Yu closely.
Xiao Yuren flew backwards in the air, and his mind figured out a lot of things in an instant. He finally knew what was wrong. From the time the assassination took place, everything went too smoothly. And from beginning to end, the people in the carriage did not say a word, nor did they make a single sound. Now it seems, the answer is pretty obvious. The person sitting in the carriage was not Zhu Di himself, but another real martial arts master. And all this is more like a carefully prepared trap, waiting for their group of prey to take the initiative to send it to the door.
Xiao Yu's mind turned sharply, and he had already used his strength to fly out of a distance of dozens of zhang under his feet. At this moment, he already understood that the mission was a complete failure, and how to get out of it was really something that needed to be seriously considered. The brocade-robed man was not slow at all, and he had already caught up with Xiao Yu in a few steps, and the punch that opened the mountain and cracked the stone hit Xiao Yu's chest again.
Xiao Yu didn't dare to be careless, his fists struck, and the true qi of his whole body gushed out, striking again with the fist of the brocade-robed man. This time there was no loud noise that shook the heavens and the earth, but the air waves between the fists caused the rain to change direction, forming a vacuum in front of the two of them. With a low muffled sound, both of them snorted, and the brocade-robed man took a few steps back before regaining his footing, while Xiao Yu flew backwards several feet with the power of that fist, landing in a bush between the cliffs, and never to be seen again.
The brocade-robed man stood firm, heard the footsteps of the guards chasing behind him, waved his hand to signal to stop the pursuit, and said coldly: "Poor Kou Mo chase, it is important to protect the safety of the prince." ”
Xiao Yu swept through the bushes, ran several miles away in one breath, and saw that there were no pursuers in the rear, so he stopped, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow". In the two encounters just now, he was at a disadvantage, especially the first time, when he slapped the opponent unprepared, and he had already suffered extremely serious internal injuries.
Xiao Yu stopped and breathed for a moment, not daring to stay too long, so he continued to run along the cliff to the southwest. ran out of dozens of miles, and saw the ruined temple in front of him from a distance, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. That ruined temple is the meeting point agreed by Xiao Yu and several senior brothers, no matter whether the mission is successful or not, everyone will meet here after getting out. At this time, the torches were already lit in the ruined temple, and it was obvious that several other brothers and sisters had already arrived.
Xiao Yu walked into the broken temple, and the brothers immediately surrounded him, their eyes full of inquiry. Xiao Yu didn't speak, just shook his head in frustration, sat down against the wall tiredly, and began to breathe and heal. Although the senior brothers were disappointed, they seemed to have been mentally prepared for this result, and soon a senior brother walked up to Xiao Yu and touched Xiao Yu's head to express comfort.
Senior Brother thought for a while and said, "Since the mission has failed, then it is not safe here, we still have to evacuate as soon as possible." Everyone rested for a while, and set off after half a pillar of incense. ”
Everyone was about to pack up, and suddenly one of them signaled everyone to be silent, and listened to it for a while, and said in surprise: "Someone is surrounding here, it should be coming at us." ”
The senior brother looked out of the temple through the heavy rain and fog, was silent for a moment, and said, "Put out the torch and break through separately." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air sounded, and a dense stream of crossbow arrows shot into the ruined temple, nailing them to the ground and door panels. Then, dozens of figures jumped in from outside, and the brothers drew their swords to greet each other, and for a while there was a clanging in the darkness, and the sound of swords was everywhere.
Xiao Yu swept out of the ruined temple through the night, and the killers who were ambushed outside felt a gust of wind blowing in front of them, and one of them fell to the ground with a muffled snort, leaving only a bloody hole in his chest.
"Chase after you, don't let people run away! these people must die tonight, and not a single one will be left alive!" shouted a man who seemed to be the leader, and chased after several killers.
Xiao Yu ran wildly in the rainy night, and the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air sounded behind him again. Xiao Yu turned around and raised his sword to slash the crossbow arrows one by one, but it also slowed him down, and he was soon caught up by several black-clothed killers.
Xiao Yu had already suffered extremely serious internal injuries before, plus he ran all the way up, and the consumption was huge, and he was surrounded by people at this time, and he only felt that his breath was exhausted, and he couldn't help but feel hopeless. Suddenly, a figure entered from the outside, killing two people in an instant, and Xiao Yu's pressure was suddenly reduced.
"Third Senior Brother!" Xiao Yu recognized the person and said with great joy.
"Senior brother, you go first, I'll stay and play with them. The third senior brother said in a deep voice, and a long sword in his hand attacked the black-clothed man who was the leader.
"Third Senior Brother, I'll help you!" Xiao Yu raised his sword to attack from the side.
"You go quickly! You're already injured, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!" said the third senior brother anxiously as he looked at the black-clothed killer who kept coming from behind.
"Then what are you going to do, let's go together!" Xiao Yu said.
"I have my own way, and it's not that easy for them to kill me. The third senior brother snorted coldly and said, "When you see the master, you must tell him that the old man is the emperor's people who are besieging us, and they will kill us!"
"What? They are actually the emperor's people? Could it be that the source of this mission is the current emperor?" Xiao Yu was taken aback, his mind was racing quickly, but he figured out everything. No wonder this group of black-clothed killers seems to know so much about the path of action of themselves and others, I am afraid that they have already been ambushed near the ruined temple, no matter whether the mission is successful or not, they will kill themselves and kill others!
"Remember, you must escape alive and tell the truth to Master!" the third senior brother shouted, forced back the black-clothed killer at the front with a sword, and with a backhand palm, Xiao Yu was sent a few feet away.
"Third Senior Brother, you must be careful!" Xiao Yu shouted, tears burst out of his eyes, and his figure disappeared into the vast rainy night in a flash.
There was a loud "click" in the sky, and a lightning bolt crossed the sky, illuminating the entire Taishan Mountain Range in an instant. In the pouring rain, Xiao Yu staggered forward, without direction, without purpose, and there was no sound of fighting and sword collision behind him, but he didn't stop to rest and heal at all, just ran forward mechanically. Suddenly, Xiao Yu's ears sounded a "boom" of thunder, and he couldn't help but slip on the soles of his feet, stepped on the air, and fell from a high cliff. Xiao Yu only felt a whirlwind in the air, and he was no longer powerless to resist, and he fainted as soon as it was dark in front of him.
