Chapter 460: Assassination
It's just, how could He Yueying appear here at this time?
Chu Yunsheng was not allowed to think about it, that group of people had already walked from the end of the street to this side, and the people along the road avoided to both sides.
Chu Yunsheng also took Su Yun to the side to avoid it, and at the same time she was still thinking about how to break Brother Dumb away first, if she wanted to go back to He Yueying's side later, it would be really inconvenient to take Brother Dumb with her, and there were so many rules in the post house, and Brother Dumb was obviously impossible to follow the rules, what should I do then?
However, before Chu Yunsheng could think of a way, the people on both sides avoided it one after another, coming and going, I don't know when Brother Dumb had disappeared, Chu Yunsheng looked back again, but he didn't find him, and at this time, the carriage He Yueying was riding in had already arrived closer.
Just when Chu Yunsheng was thinking about whether to catch up at this time or follow the carriage all the way to see where its destination was, and then make plans, he didn't know where a sharp roar suddenly sounded.
With that loud roar, immediately after, Chu Yunsheng, who had sharp ears, heard the sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air, and just when her heart was cold, and she was about to subconsciously mobilize her eyes to look in the direction where the arrow feather came, dozens of burly men with gray masks suddenly appeared in the crowd, and they pulled out the soft swords wrapped around their waists and attacked the carriage where He Yueying was.
And the arrow that broke through the air also fell on the frame of He Yueying's carriage, and it was only a little bit short of breaking through the curtain and only rushing to the front door of the people inside.
This change came too suddenly, and the people around them who stretched their necks to watch the excitement were stunned for a moment before they reacted, and then the crowd that was still quiet just now fled in all directions as if they had exploded.
Not only did they have to avoid the assassins who suddenly appeared in gray masks, but they also wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, because at the foot of this day, the assassin who assassinated the princess appeared on the most prosperous street, but if it has anything to do with this matter, it is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and everyone already knows the powerful relationship, so they don't have to think about it at all, at this time, these people have only one thought in their hearts, that is, to escape from this place of right and wrong quickly!
At this time, Chu Yunsheng was also taken aback by the assassin who suddenly jumped out.
I believe that not only her, but even King Wei should not have imagined that there would be someone in his King Wei's capital who would assassinate He Yueying, however, at this time, Chu Yunsheng didn't have time to think about it, seeing that the cold arrows hiding in the shadows were still swishing through the crowd from time to time and shooting towards He Yueying's carriage, and those gray masked people who suddenly jumped out and drew their swords to assassinate the past had already knocked down the guards outside the princess's car one by one, Chu Yunsheng did not hesitate, she flicked her wrist, and pulled out the soft sword at her waist, and then glanced back at Su Yun, Su Yun had already made the same action at the same time, and the two nodded when they met, so he directly picked up his steps and ran to the carriage where He Yueying was.
The guards in the innermost circle of He Yueying's carriage were either the personal guards she brought from Zhao State, or they were sent from Zhao State, and these people had already known Su Yun and Chu Yunsheng, who had also accompanied He Yueying all the way, when they sent He Yueying from the border of Wei Guo.
At this time, seeing the two of them appear like ghosts, although the eyes of these people were also surprised, they did not stop them, and only made a gap for the two of them to reach the side of the carriage smoothly.
The battle outside continued, and the assassins in the gray masks were all good, and these He Yueying's guards were also very skilled, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
Chu Yunsheng rushed to the side of the carriage and raised his hand to lift the curtain.
However, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a sword with a cold intent stabbed towards Chu Yunsheng, but fortunately, Chu Yunsheng's reaction was also extremely fast, and as soon as she turned her ankle, she drove her body to avoid this sword.
At the same time, the sword turned in a different direction when it was about to stab Chu Yunsheng.
"In charge?"
Dongzhu and He Yueying's voices sounded almost at the same time, and I could hear that He Yueying's voice still had a bit of surprise in it.
Only then did Chu Yunsheng stabilize his figure, and looked at Dong Zhu, who had just raised his sword to stab him, seeing this, Dong Zhu lowered his head with some annoyance: "I couldn't stand it just now, I thought it was those assassins who attacked, so ...... I really didn't mean to......"
Chu Yunsheng naturally knew that she didn't mean it, otherwise the sword wouldn't have been hurriedly avoided at the last moment, she shook her head to signal that it was okay, and then looked at He Yueying and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, where are you going?"
Hearing this, He Yueying pulled Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun into the carriage, and said softly: "I went to look for the two of you this morning, but there was no news, and I didn't leave a message, I was uneasy, plus I heard about the princess of Weiguo Dingguo this morning, so I thought about whether anything would happen to you, because I was worried, I wanted to come out to breathe and see if I could hear some other news, I always stayed in the post house and couldn't hear anything, so instead of this, it was better to go out for a walk, but I didn't think of it." ……”
As she spoke, He Yueying raised her hand and lifted a corner of the car curtain, looking at the guards who were still fighting outside and the assassin with the gray mask, and when she saw the blood splattered and the lives that fell from time to time, He Yueying gasped.
What happened too suddenly last night, so Chu Yunsheng forgot to leave a message for He Yueying when he went out, and then Su Yun also left in the middle of the night, and there was no way to disturb He Yueying at that time, so this made her worried, thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but be ashamed and said: "We're fine, but it makes Her Royal Highness the princess worried, it's just the princess of Dingguo you said just now?"
There is no princess of Dingguo in Weiguo, the only two princesses are her mother and aunt, and now He Yueying is talking about the princess of Dingguo, but she is the aunt of King Wei?
Hearing this, He Yueying sighed and said: "It's Xiao Yijun, the second princess of the country, I heard the news of the princess's death this morning, but I don't know whether she died of illness or if there was another reason, and the news from the palace said that she had been posthumously named the princess of Dingguo." ”
Speaking of this, He Yueying was stunned, she raised her eyes and looked at Chu Yunsheng with some nervousness, "Our original agreement...... It was I who helped you rescue Princess Dingguo, but now she is ...... So ...... we?"
She didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was already obvious.
At this time, her eyes were full of worry, for her, at this time, Chu Yunsheng said that the heavenly killing represented was her last reliance and hope, and their previous agreement was impossible to reach at this time, because the princess of the kingdom was dead, she no longer had any value to them, if the princess of the kingdom was dead, it was reasonable for her to refuse to continue trading with her at this time, but in this way, she had no hope at all, thinking that the fate she was about to face next was the cage of the palace of the kingdom, and she was going to become the pawn of her brother who she didn't want to be, He Yueying's heart was even more worried and panicked。
Chu Yunsheng could naturally guess what she was thinking at this time, looking at He Yueying's eyes at this time, she sighed, and then said helplessly: "Yes, now the agreement can no longer be completed, after all, the conditions for this sale have been lost." ”
Speaking of this, seeing that the light of hope in He Yueying's eyes also dimmed, Chu Yunsheng continued: "However, who let us already promise you, so since it is something that has been promised, we will not break our promise, let alone ...... I really don't like the two people in your Zhao Kingdom, if I can make the two of them uncomfortable, I will be comfortable. ”
Hearing this, He Yueying's eyes, who had just been defeated, lit up in an instant, she knew that in this matter, it was clear that Chu Yunsheng could choose to quit, although Chu Yunsheng said this is not unreasonable, but when she looked at Chu Yunsheng's eyes, He Yueying read more friendship.
Although she knew that Tiansha had always been a businessman, only doing business, and only looking at interests, but the person in charge of Tianni, who had only gotten along with her for half a month, made her refresh her understanding of Tiansan, maybe she was different from others?
However, no matter which one it is, Chu Yunsheng's words and decisions at this time have already made He Yueying grateful in her heart, and she also treasured this rare thing that she considered to be friendship in the bottom of her heart. In her life, although she grew up in the harem of brocade clothes and jade food, but in the face of either conspiracy and trickery, or all kinds of use and betrayal, in her cognition, except for the two most trusted maids and the third brother around her, there is no one who can be trusted in this world, and now even her third brother has become a completely different person, and treats her as a chess piece.
Therefore, friendship is the most precious thing in the world for He Yueying, but she never thought that at this moment, in a situation that is not familiar with her, and she doesn't even know the background of others, she realized this from her acquaintance.
Thinking of this, He Yueying suddenly felt that she had always thought that this cold world would not look so cold at this time, she raised her hand and covered the back of Chu Yunsheng's hand, and said with a little choked up in her tone: "Thank you, whether you believe it or not, if one day, if the person in charge needs to come to my place, I will definitely be stupid." ”
Chu Yunsheng just couldn't bear to leave her, and in order to keep her promise, she never thought that He Yueying would be so moved, she was about to say something that she didn't have to worry about like this, but her ears were keenly aware of the sound of an arrow feather breaking through the air.
It's extremely fast, and with a sharp killing move, it's in front of you in the blink of an eye.
Chu Yunsheng didn't dare to have the slightest doubt or surprise, she immediately pulled out her palm from He Yueying's hand, and then swept out of the carriage with a flick of her ankle at the same time, and then raised her hand and slashed towards the cold arrow that was already rushing in her face.
Swish!
With a crisp sound, the arrow feather was split in half under Chu Yunsheng's soft sword, and at the same time, two other cold arrows continued to shoot out from different directions, and the speed and strength were not weaker than this one.
Chu Yunsheng was about to raise his hand to split it as soon as he turned around, but Su Yun on the side had already cut off the two arrows one step ahead of her.
Chu Yunsheng also adjusted her standing posture, and then looked in the direction where the arrows had just come from, she originally wanted Su Yun to guard here, and she rushed over to the opposite roof ridge to catch the few archers who were lying in ambush, but before she could speak, she saw a shadow of the blue of heaven and water flashing on the roof on the opposite roof.
In the next moment, wherever the figure of the green of the sky went, the assassins who were also wearing gray masks rolled down from time to time on the opposite ridge, and the bows and arrows in their hands had been broken in half, and each of these people had a hole in their chests that was still bubbling with blood, although it was not fatal, but it had already made them lose their combat effectiveness, and their bodies were weak, and then after the figure of the green of the sky passed by, they rolled down in a hurry.
And all this happened in the blink of an eye, and the archers assassins who were still ambushed on both sides and tried to shoot cold arrows at the carriage and Chu Yunsheng had already rolled to the ground one by one.
By the time Chu Yunsheng stood still, the figure of the blue of the sky and water had already swept in front of her like lightning.
Still wearing the half of the silver mask, the faintly flowing silver became more and more dazzling in the sunlight, but it couldn't withstand the shock he brought to the people present at this time.
He still held a sword dripping with blood in his hand, the long sword shook, and the blood beads on it rolled down before falling to the ground and splashing blood flowers, but the assassins with gray masks who were still entangled with the guards had been shocked, and the archers and assassins were all destroyed, and suddenly such a top master appeared, at this time it was impossible to assassinate He Yueying, so these people did not dare to fight, after one of them sent a flag flower signal, everyone left the opponent who was fighting in a life-and-death confrontation, and then fled in different directions。
And He Yueying's guards didn't dare to chase at this time, they hadn't seen Brother Dumb, at this time they saw Brother Dumb standing in front of the princess's car with a fierce murderous aura, they were neither sure that he was the enemy, nor were they sure that this was a helper, not to mention that at this time they were all more or less hung with colors, if there were any assassins in ambush, they would be difficult enough to deal with, not to mention that at this time, where would they have the heart to chase those assassins who had fled.
It was here that the battle ended, and at the end of the street came the sound of uniform footsteps and the grinding of armor.
The patriotic Janissaries came.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng glanced at Brother Dumb, and then said, "You protect yourself first." ”
Hearing this, Brother Dumb miraculously listened to the words this time, and with a flick of his wrist, he inserted the sword that had been thrown back into the scabbard at his waist, and then his figure flashed, and there was no trace.
