Chapter 49: The Right Hand Assassin
In Shouchun North Road, Hu Che'er led more than ten guards of the Wuwei Battalion, escorting Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu back to the mansion in the carriage.
Occupying a large part of the area in the north of Shouchun City is the Shouchun Palace built by Yuan Shu. Next to the Shouchun Palace is the residential area of the original Yuan Shu period, which is equivalent to the imperial city of Chang'an, Luoyang.
However, after Zhang Xiu came to power, at least half of the families living here were killed or exiled because of the planned economy. And the other clans who received their inheritance were not able to digest these mansions for the time being due to famine.
Therefore, many of the big mansions in the North District are overgrown with weeds and cobwebs because they have not been taken care of for many months, which is very desolate.
A carriage came in the opposite direction from Zhang Xiu's carriage, and more than a dozen armor soldiers were also around, and they came directly towards Zhang Xiu's carriage under the command of a black-faced man.
The two groups of people stopped at the same time, and Hu Che'er and the black-faced man dismounted and high-fived and said hello. Behind the two, more than a dozen guards under their respective commands also dismounted and held swords to guard the surrounding guards.
The curtain of the carriage guarded by the black-faced man was pulled open, and a boy of five or six years old jumped out. I didn't know what I was still holding in my arms, so I ran directly to Zhang Xiu's carriage.
She was followed by a young lady who got out of the carriage and picked up another girl from above.
"Daddy!" The boy ran and screamed.
Zhang Xiu naturally could hear that this was the voice of his cheap son Zhang Quan, and he also opened the carriage curtain at the moment.
It's just that at the moment when he leaned forward and opened the curtain in front of the carriage, a sharp arrow pierced through the curtain on the left side of the carriage, flew past the place where he was sitting just now, and nailed to the right side of the carriage!
Fortunately, Dr. Jia Xu Jia leaned on the back of the carriage to talk to him, but fortunately he was unharmed.
Zhang Quan's scream just overshadowed the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, and the arrows were nailed into the carriage, and Hu Che'er and the others didn't notice it. But soon they reacted, because the second dark arrow had been fired, and the target was Zhang Quan, who was running.
Zhang Quan, who was running towards his father's land, knew that the arrow of death was shooting at him, and his little face was full of joy and happiness when he saw his father.
"Shit!"
At the last moment, Jia Xu, who was sitting in the innermost part of the carriage, suddenly popped out of his mouth with these two words!
Xiao Zhang Quan was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this, and at the same time paused slightly in his steps. Then, a miracle happened, the sharp arrow that should have been shot grazed Zhang Quan's little face, and finally hit the stone road with a clanging sound.
The next moment, Zhang Xiu had already turned into a wind shadow, kicked the carriage along the side, and rolled to Zhang Quan's side to pick him up.
Hu Che'er, the black-faced man, and all the entourages also reacted, and gathered around Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu had already run to the opposite carriage with Zhang Quan in her arms. threw Zhang Quan under the carriage, hugged the woman with the other hand, and protected his daughter Zhang Ruo in the middle.
The sound of broken tiles sounded on the eaves on both sides of the road, and this figure flashed before everyone's eyes.
Another arrow shot out from the figure, heading straight for Zhang Xiu. At this moment, Zhang Xiu no longer made a big move, just hugged the woman and Zhang Ruo, and casually turned around, and the arrow shot into the air.
When the black shadow saw that the three arrows missed, he stopped pulling his bow and was about to leave in the opposite direction. The black-faced man is Zhou Cang, how can his violent temper stand this provocation, and he wants to chase it, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu said coldly: "Don't chase, just turn the tiger away from the mountain!" ”
When Zhang Xiu said this, he looked at the black shadow that was about to disappear, especially the words 'turn the tiger away from the mountain' at the end, and almost shouted it to that person.
The man seemed to hear this, and suddenly stopped, and stopped running away.
Before the man could make the next move, there was a shout of killing, and more than thirty black-clothed people had jumped out of the road, all holding swords and killing Zhang Xiu and the others.
The man turned and paused, as if hesitating, before throwing away his bow and arrows, drawing his sword, and swinging forward.
With his swing of the sword, more than twenty black-clothed people jumped out of the surrounding houses, rushing towards Zhang Xiu and the others.
"Let the horse fly for a while!" Zhang Xiu hugged the woman and her daughter Zhang Ruo and did not let go, and ordered.
Hu Che'er sneered, took a knife from the hand of a guard of the Wuwei Battalion, and split the carriage rope. Then he led the horse to the man in black who was killing in one direction, walked behind the horse's buttocks, and suddenly stabbed the tip of the knife into the horse's buttocks an inch deep.
The horse was in pain, spread its hooves and neighed in front of it, which the oncoming men in black had expected to happen. Some rolled on their sides to hide, some jumped to the side of the road, and some cut their horses with knives.
No matter what the reaction was, the charging formation of more than twenty black-clothed men coming from the north road was chaos in an instant. At least six or seven men in black were crippled by the panicked horses that were rammed or trampled.
The ** Wuwei battalion guards guarding this side took advantage of the situation to kill them, and cut down six or seven black-clothed men in front of them.
The guards of a Wuwei battalion on the south road also did the same as Hu Che'er, disbanding the horses of another carriage, breaking up the enemy formation, and then rushing up to slash and kill seven or eight people.
The more troublesome thing is that there are more than 20 people who jumped out of the houses on both sides of the road, but fortunately, the remaining dozen or so guards have Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang, and they are not a threat to Zhang Xiuzao at all.
The man in black who had shot arrows on the eaves originally wanted to jump down to participate in the white-knuckle battle, but Zhang Xiu's action of putting two horses directly to disperse dozens of people on his side instantly startled him, and he paused on the eaves for a while.
Then, seeing that his carefully trained swordsmen and swordsmen could not defeat the guards of the thirty Wuwei battalion beside Zhang Xiu, coupled with the two fierce generals on the other side, Zhou Canghu Che'er, showed their might, this person was extremely unwilling to beat the eaves with his right hand, and finally blew a whistle and issued the order to retreat.
But only half of the people who obeyed his order to retreat, and the other half of them refused to retreat even half a step as if they were red-eyed.
The man in black looked at the part of the people who refused to leave, and seemed to sigh slightly. still took the more than ten people who had withdrawn and escaped over the house wall under the cover of the vast moonlight.
The battle didn't last long. Because Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang had eliminated half of the enemies alone, the thirty Wuwei battalion guards had almost no casualties, and they also neatly dealt with the other assassins.
It wasn't until he made up for the last assassin who fell to the ground that Zhang Xiu let go of the left hand holding the woman and daughter, but still covered Xiao Zhang Ruo's eyes with his right hand.
The woman who came with the two children was also pale with fright at the moment, and her face was pale. But Zhang Xiu still recognized that this was Yuan Lan dressed as a maid that night.
Not far from the road, cavalry could already be seen galloping over. On the other side, dozens of people from the family who looked like they were guarding the family with weapons rushed to the rescue.
Yuan Lan looked uncomfortable with nausea, but he still tried to hold back. Hold Zhang Ruo in his arms and cover Zhang Ruo's eyes with his own hand for Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu let go of his hand and cast a grateful look at Yuan Lan, and then went to pull Zhang Quan under the carriage.
Zhang Quan's expression was a little muzzled, but he was not scared silly. After all, I followed Zhang Xiu all the way from Guanzhong and saw a lot of battles.
In command of the regular cavalry was a lieutenant who brought with him three hundred cavalry. Zhang Xiu and the others are absolutely safe now.
On the other side, dozens of family members who rushed over when they heard the sound bowed to Zhang Xiu under the leadership of a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man claimed to be the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion in the vicinity, and when he heard the abnormal sound, he saw the killing from the high-rise building, so he hurriedly gathered the family to kill the thieves and protect the stability of the neighborhood.
In addition, on the way they came, they also caught a man in black with a suspicious appearance, and he specially handed it over to the officers and soldiers!
Zhang Xiu asked them to bring up the black-clothed man they caught, and the middle-aged man beckoned to the back, and escorted up a black-clothed man with bloodstained clothes, dressed like a talented assassin.
Zhang Xiu walked up to the man in black and looked at it, then turned his head and asked the middle-aged man, "How did you catch it?" ”
The middle-aged man walked up to Zhang Xiu's side and replied respectfully: "That's right, before we arrived at the intersection in front just now, we saw more than a dozen people in black scattered at the intersection in two or three people. When we got to the intersection, we bumped into this guy with a wound in the leg. So we arrested him. ”
Zhang Xiu nodded, turned his back and walked in the direction of Yuan Lan, and said tiredly: "Yes, well done." I will judge this man well, what reward do you want? ”
A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, his hands were clasped together, he followed behind Zhang Xiu, and said, "We, hehe, want to ......"
Before he could say another word, Zhang Xiu suddenly shot forward, took out the bronze hairpin from Yuan Lan's head, turned around and threw it at the middle-aged man's throat!
The classical and elegant hairpin is like a deadly charm at the moment, staring at the middle-aged man's Adam's apple.
Bang Dang!
A dagger glowing blue slipped from the middle-aged man's clumped sleeve and fell to the stone floor.
Bright blood spurted out of the middle-aged man's throat, but not a drop fell on Zhang Quan and Zhang Ruo, because Yuan Lan and Zhang Xiu protected the two children for the first time.
Although Yuan Lan had already vomited.
The so-called Jiading Nursing Home behind the middle-aged man froze, and when they reacted, Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang, and the guards of the Wuwei Battalion also reacted.
It was another melee, and the three hundred cavalry on Zhang Xiu's side also dismounted to participate in the battle, so Zhang Xiu didn't pay attention to the battlefield anymore, just looked at the middle-aged man's face full of unwillingness, and the back of his right hand that was a little bruised for some reason.
His mouth was still moving, as if trying to get the last words out.
Although his throat had been pierced, the shape of his mouth and the purring whisper seemed to tell Zhang Xiu: "We, want, your life!" ”
Zhang Quan was still holding the ball in his arms at the moment, and Zhang Xiu gently pulled it out, which was his own fur for keeping out the cold.
But I don't feel cold anymore, both physically and mentally.
Cover Yuan Lan and the two children with a fur coat, and gently stroke Yuan Lan's hair that is scattered in the wind. Zhang Xiu hugged the three of them and walked back to the mansion.
