Chapter 33: The Hunt

At this time, in a dense bamboo forest on the edge of the official road, another group of black-clothed masked people appeared, and there were about 20 people, all of whom held cold weapons in their hands, and their temples were bulging. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I only heard one of them say to the man who seemed to be the leader, "The bloodstains disappeared on the side of the road just now, and there seems to have been an assassination on the official road not far away, and there were many dead and wounded, and there were also people from the army of the Chu State who died inside, presumably he had hidden in the ranks of some high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Chu State, and there must be masters in this team." It's just that I don't know which side has the same goal as us, but they started before us, and they must have been startled. ”

Another masked man said, "No matter what, Empress Mu ordered us to take his head this time and go back to his life." ”

"Hmm. The masked leader thought for a moment, "Still, we'll find a way to get the best of them out of the way before taking his life." You take nine second ranks, start from the front, and halfway through the fight, then feign to escape, lure the best of them away, and kill them alone, while we sneak up from their rear. Also, remember, if there are children of high-ranking officials of the Chu State in the car, they must all be killed, and finally pretend to be bandits, take all their belongings, and take away our people, even if they are corpses, do not leave any clues. ”

"Yes!" the masked man commanded, taking nine Assassins from the twenty-three men in black and sweeping them down the official road, while the other fourteen Assassins stood by and waited for the next instructions.

Obviously, the level of this team of assassins is much higher than that of the previous group, but they don't know the situation clearly, and can only analyze the battle situation just now.

Mi Huang and the others, who had been marching towards Chu Jing for more than half an hour, although they had been calm all the way, they did not dare to relax their minds, but their vigilance was slightly reduced.

Si Jian looked at both sides of the road from time to time, and saw that there was no unusual wind and grass, so he hugged the sword and said, "Princess, it seems that there is nothing to do! I heard that the forbidden army said that as long as we turn a few more bamboo forests, we can see Yingdu City." ”

"Hmm!" nodded his head, "but don't let up!"

"Yes!"

Deep in the bamboo forest ahead, a man in black reported, "They've arrived. ”

"Let's go!" The ten black-clothed people all clenched the long swords in their hands, and their exposed eyes were inexplicably murderous, and they quickly ran towards the official road, and their clothes vibrated and startled a group of birds.

"Quack ......"

The forbidden army walking in front of them panicked into the sky and looked at the fleeing birds in all directions, as if to indicate the coming danger.

"What's wrong?" asked Si Qin, too, as he pulled the car door.

Mi Huang looked at the bamboo forest where the birds flew out without saying a word, and his ear drums moved slightly, "Someone is coming, at least ten people, and all of them are not weak in martial arts! Si Qin, you don't know martial arts, now take a horse and go back with them, be fast!"

Hearing this, Si Qin glanced at the master sitting on the carriage, and said with red eyes, "Yes, princess!"

"I didn't look for reinforcements just now, is it too late to leave now?" the man said as if he was relaxed, but his eyes wandering around the bamboo forest revealed his heart.

Previously, she underestimated the strength of the other party, "Get away with one, count one, and go, you are here to move the rescue for us! Find Ruo Ao Ziyan, be fast!"

"Princess, you have to take care, Siqin is gone. Si Qin, who had untied one of the horses from the carriage, turned over on his horse with a worried face, and with the other four forbidden soldiers on horseback, turned his horse's head and immediately galloped away.

"Now there are only a few of us left, are you sure it's better to let them go?"

"yes! It's a burden to carry you. Mi Huang looked at the two injured soldiers in the car, as well as the seriously injured cheeky man, and said mercilessly.

Without so many soft-footed soldiers, Si Jian felt more relaxed, "Princess, with the two of us, it will be easier to get away." ”

This kind of chase has been staged countless times on the battlefield, but they have all escaped in this way.

However, the face of a certain man who heard the words was not good-looking, the people in the bamboo forest were not like the previous group of assassins, but obviously more like the assassins who had been chasing him closely, and their martial arts, he and his guards had already learned with their lives.

"I'm with you!"

It's supposed to be a request, but it is said in such a strong tone, and there is no gesture of asking for help!

Si Jian plucked out his ears, "Tsk, princess, I heard you right! Such a big man, my thin body, I can't carry it!"

"Who just picked me up in the carriage!" the man grimly glanced at a certain thick-shouldered woman who had been stuck in him.

Si Jian pointed at a man who was fainting, "Oh oh! It turns out that you have been awake, so you are still pretending." ”

The two wounded soldiers in the carriage trembled when they heard this, and said, "Princess...... Princess...... Are you going to give up on us? We don't want to die......"

"Fools, only they act alone, you still have a chance to live, otherwise I am afraid that you will die without a corpse. The man looked at these ignorant soldiers without the slightest sympathy, as if death was a better thing for them.

"Ahh

"The carriage is left to you, and those who don't want to die will immediately go to the capital. You also know that if you bypass the bamboo forests in front of you, there may be rescuers. Mi Huang pointed in the opposite direction from Si Qin, and explained a few rare sentences, but she knew in her heart that she was just using this carriage as a lure army, not only to cover Si Qin, who had already left, but also to buy time for herself.

Wars are always merciless, people have to die, and she can only save as many people as possible at the least cost.

glanced coldly at the men on the carriage, life and death were up to them anyway, "And if you want to follow, follow yourself." ”

I saw that the man who seemed to be seriously injured just now sat up gradually with his carriage, and finally jumped out of the carriage upright and stood side by side with them.

"Let's go, the other party is coming!" After finishing his words, Mi Huang had already performed light skills and flew into the bamboo forest on the other side of the official road.

"Let's go!" Si Jian also relied on her divine strength and speed to resist the big sword, and ran wildly, and the wounded soldiers in the carriage also climbed into the driver's seat, whipped their horses, and drove the carriage towards Yingdu.

The man, who was still not lightly injured, took out a jade bottle from his waist that he didn't know what to do with and sprinkled it all over his body, and then quickly used his skills to heal his injuries.

The sound of "rustling" is endless, and even after they make a move, it gets faster and closer!

It's still in my ears.

But suddenly, the man who was still standing still also moved, kicked the ground with both feet, faster than the beast, and even let out a roar that shocked the mountains and fields, and after a while, he was almost neck and neck with the phoenix running in front.

"What kind of martial arts are you, you have been injured so badly, and you can recover in a short time!" Mi Huang was slightly surprised by the man's body method, but this method was so weird, it must have endless troubles in the future.

"Hmph, concentrate on running, woman! You don't need to know!" The man said coldly, at this time, he still has the heart to care about this, I really don't know how this woman's head is doing, the nerves are so thick, how can the first son of the Chu State take a fancy to her.

On the official road less than fifty zhang behind them, ten swarthy figures stopped on the empty official road, and at the same time looked at the carriage that had gone away and the dense forest, and frowned tightly, "It seems that some of them have already discovered us!

"Is that a chaser, or is it from the woods?" asked the man in black.

"Leave one person to go back and report the news, and then send four people to chase the carriage first!"

"The rest of the people are going this way with me!" The black-clothed masked man's ear drums vibrate, judging by the galloping footsteps in the forest, the master is likely to escort the people to this side, and the carriage is just a plan to divide the troops, but even so he can't let it go.

"Let's go our separate ways!"

The first group quickly caught up with the carriage in front, and there were only two remnants in the carriage!

When the two forbidden soldiers saw the man in black who kicked the neck of the horse, they begged for mercy in fright, "Spare your life! Hero! We are just insignificant little people!

The man in black standing by the overturned carriage said, "We really got it!"

"Then the two of them!"

"Kill!"

"Let's go, we'll rush over right away!"

After they left, a group of black-clad ghost-faced assassins appeared next to the carriage, but the leader listened to the voice, which seemed to be an old woman, "Send someone to find them, they must be around here." The old assassin squatted on the ground, touched the two soldiers who had just died and still had residual heat, and said coldly.

Behind her, there stood a group of twenty ghost-faced assassins, each with a bamboo basket hanging on their bodies, and they didn't know what to do, so they heard the words and ran towards the bamboo forest.

Heavy killing machine, this is simply a long-planned lore.
