Chapter 5: Assassination
The man in black was extremely skillful, walking in the dark night, like a ghost. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Zuo Huaishu's light skills and the light skills of the man in black should be between the best, but Zuo Huaishu is weak and it is difficult to go all out to pursue the man in black. At first, she was able to chase after her, but the longer she chased, the more her physical strength became exhausted, and the distance between the two widened. After chasing through an alley, the man in black dodged and disappeared completely into the dark night. Zuo Huaishu chased forward for a hundred meters, but still didn't see anyone, and he was lost.
Zuo Huaishu stood in the middle of the street, breathing a little rapidly, she pressed her chest with her left hand, but her gaze went deep ahead, but she couldn't see anything else except the shadowy houses.
Who is it, taking advantage of King Yan's absence, to visit the palace at night? And what is the plan?
Does it have anything to do with her?
Zuo Huaishu also cares about the light skills of the man in black, the light function is on par with her, there shouldn't be many people in this world? Who is the man in black?
She took two steps forward, and then walked back, thinking as she went, her heart turned a thousand times, still thinking about the man in black just now.
When he walked under a huge locust tree, Zuo Huaishu's footsteps suddenly stopped. The evening breeze rustles the lush branches and leaves of the locust tree.
In the swishing wind, there was still a murderous aura hidden, and it quickly approached her.
Zuo Huaishu remembered that Li Yunting had previously said that Wei Xiang had sent a group of killers to Jinlin City to kill her, and he also told her not to leave the palace as much as possible.
Could it be?
In an instant, Zuo Huaishu had already reacted, she took out a bird's egg-sized fireworks flare from the brocade bag hanging from her belt, and threw it into the air, at the same time, she took out the short sword hidden in her boot, and several silver needles were already caught between her left fingers. She never leaves these things. All the movements are done in the blink of an eye.
As soon as it was too late, a red firework burst into the night sky, and more than a dozen men in black rushed out of the darkness at the same time.
"Who are you? Why did you kill me? Zuo Huaishu still wants to ask who is going to kill her?
But no one answered her, and the men in black were obviously well-trained killers, and after they confirmed their target, a razor-sharp sword stabbed at her. No matter which sword she was stabbed into, she would surely die. Zuo Huaishu is not an idle person, she has been prepared. She took the lead in shooting the silver needles in her hand, and the silver needles were empty, and each needle accurately stabbed the throat of the man in black, and the four men in black fell to the ground in response.
However, the other black-clothed people did not retreat because of the death of the four black-clothed men, but attacked Zuo Huaishu more fiercely.
Zuo Huaishu dodged, but he couldn't dodge before he fought back, and retreated in the direction of Yanwangfu.
What she has to do is to hold on to Li Yunting or others hidden in Jinlin City to save her.
If she wants to deal with a dozen killers by herself, even if she spares no effort, it is impossible. What's more, her physical condition can't use too much internal force.
Zuo Huaishu defended and retreated, and the longer she passed, the more difficult she became.
The fireworks have been released for some time, and Li Yunting, who should have appeared quickly, has not been seen for a long time. Not only Li Yunting, but also others did not come.
The man in black made a vicious move, and his move was to kill her. Another sword stabbed him, Zuo Huaishu barely dodged with light skills, but his right arm was stabbed by the man in black behind him, and the moment the blade cut through the flesh, Zuo Huaishu's arm was in pain, and the short sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Zuo Huaishu didn't care about his injured arm and continued to retreat.
At this time, she was also a little anxious.
In the middle of the night, there is not a single ghost on the road, and if she goes on like this, she will definitely die.
Zuo Huaishu found a gap and threw another firework bomb into the air, only to hear a bang in the air, and a red firework bigger than before burst into the night sky.
"Zuo Huaishu, your time of death has arrived." A cold and unforgiving voice came from behind the black scarf of one of the men in black.
If Li Yunting was here, maybe he could hear who that voice was? But Zuo Huaishu has lived in the cold palace for a long time, and she has little contact with people, so she has never heard that voice.
But in terms of accent, it is not a native of Jinyang, it seems to be a native of Dayuan.
Why would someone from Ohara want to kill her?
The black-clothed man's sword stabbed straight at Zuo Huaishu, and she barely dodged it, but she was still scratched on the shoulder. And with such a sword, she can still dodge a few times.
Zuo Huaishu had been injured in many places, and his white dress was mottled with bloodstains everywhere.
Should she be here?
She was unwilling!
She still has unfinished business.
At this moment, Zuo Huaishu heard the sound of horses' hooves, not one horse, but many horses, and the sound of horses' hooves was coming quickly towards her, and soon, she saw a crowded figure in front of her, about a dozen people.
"Withdraw." Seeing that someone was coming, someone in the black said a word, and the other men in black quickly withdrew. It was also a moment before the man in black disappeared into the night.
Without the threat of the man in black, Zuo Huaishu, who had relaxed down, felt a churning in her stomach, and a smell of blood rushed to her throat, she opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, which instantly stained her lower lip.
Before Zuo Huaishu could wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth, a group of people who rushed out of the night had already stopped in front of her.
It's not Li Yunting, the people on the horses are all wearing the military uniforms of the Great Plains Kingdom.
The man in the front was wearing silver armor and a long sword at his waist, riding on a tall black horse. At this moment, he was looking at her. The man's sharp eyes, in the dark night, are like wolves that have spied on their prey, fierce and cold.
"Who are you?" He asked her.
At the scene, there was only Zuo Huaishu alone. But judging from the messy blood stains on the ground, there should have been a fierce battle here just now.
The man's voice was extremely loud in the quiet of the night, and it had the majesty of a soldier.
Zuo Huaishu raised his face and looked at the man, judging by the man's dress and courage, at least he was a general.
Which general will be the general in Jinlin City?
The man was still waiting for her answer.
If you tell him that she is the princess of the Yan King, then the news that she was hunted down and killed tonight will immediately reach the Yan King. King Yan may not care about her life or death, but he will definitely find out, why she was hunted down, who is the person who chased her, and all kinds of things, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end at that time. No way.
"Ahem!" Zuo Huaishu coughed up blood again, and the place where she was stabbed was still bleeding.
"I can tell you who I am, but I need a doctor right now. If I die, you won't want to know anything. She can't go back to the palace like this, Zuo Huaishu said to the man, and she really needs a doctor now. She calculated in her heart that she would pass the night first.
The man didn't speak immediately, his eyes were like a sharp spear, and the edge was close to Zuo Huaishu, if it was someone else, he could make people afraid just by using his eyes.
However, instead of avoiding his gaze, Zuo Huaishu greeted the general without showing the slightest timidity.
The eyes of the two were secretly competing in the evening breeze, he was sharp, and she was calm.
