Chapter 348: Turning Danger into Chances
At the moment of the first shot, Beifeng and several other hidden guards reacted very quickly, directly forming a semicircle around their bodies, protecting Han Jiangxue inside, and then their long sword dragons and flying phoenixes quickly blocked the long arrows that came over, which was full of power and domineering, and it was extremely effective.
But everyone understands that this passive way of blocking arrows is not a long-term strategy, and if you do not take the initiative to take the offensive to help relieve the siege, it is naturally impossible to persist forever.
Therefore, when Beifeng and a few people blocked the arrows, Dong Ling and Ziyue were also full of tacit understanding and reacted.
Ziyue protected the two children at the same time, while Dong Ling quickly adjusted his posture, and in each of his hands, six more hidden weapons were thrown towards the archers on the roof.
The six archers fell, but soon a new masked archer came out to fill the missing space and continue to release arrows, and this time the archers also adjusted their posture accordingly to borrow objects to conceal and dodge, and the hidden weapon thrown by Dong Ling again was obviously a much less threat to them.
Han Jiangxue was very calm in the face of danger, standing in place with an unchanged expression, letting Beifeng and the others deal with the danger, and what she did was to stay calm and not cause them any more trouble.
Ziyue had already brought Xiaotian and Niuniu to Han Jiangxue's side, gathered together, and she formed a second layer of protection to deal with other possible emergencies at any time.
"Don't be afraid!" Han Jiangxue held the little girl in her arms and comforted her, not letting the child watch the too terrifying scene.
"Niuniu is not afraid, Niuniu is very brave!" Xiao Niuniu nodded solemnly, her big eyes were really not afraid, but she was extremely dependent on and supported Han Jiangxue and others.
And Xiaotian is even more powerful. He stared at the archers on the roof without blinking, his eyes revealing infinite hatred.
Their siblings have encountered too many similar pursuits along the way, from the initial horror to the current habit. The two children paid a price that ordinary people could not imagine.
After two rounds of hidden weapons, Dong Ling decisively took the initiative, flashed to the side, and then flew forward and approached those archers. The six hidden weapons in both hands quickly turned into ten, and they were thrown at the archers at once.
For a while, the hidden weapon had the best effect again, but in a few breaths, the opposing archers fell again. There were significantly fewer arrows than before. And no one on Han Jiangxue's side was injured by the long arrow.
Seeing that the bow and arrow raid missed, the people on the roof decisively abandoned the bow and arrow, pulled out the sword on their body and flew down directly to attack and kill head-on.
Beifeng and the others stepped forward to meet the enemy. Ziyue and Dongling still didn't dare to take the initiative to defeat, but continued to protect Han Jiangxue and the two children and kill the close-quarters assassin.
For a while, the whole street became gloomy. The originally lively pedestrians had already run away the moment the bow and arrow were shot. The only thing left was Han Jiangxue, large and small, and a group of more than a dozen people, dealing with nearly twice as many well-trained assassin killers who came out of nowhere.
On the number of people. Beifeng and they naturally suffered a tight loss, and there were only five or six hidden guards who could really let go and fight the assassins, and there were still twenty or thirty people left on the other side.
However, the strength of Beifeng and the others was obviously not comparable to these assassins, especially the few people that Mo Li originally sent to Han Jiangxue was even more powerful, and the momentum was amazing.
It didn't take long for the Assassins to be killed, and there were no real casualties among the North Wind and the others.
The situation slowly tilted towards Han Jiangxue's side. But the group of Assassins clearly did not intend to give up, and instead attacked with more ferocity. Completely desperate.
At this moment, a group of men dressed as sergeants suddenly came not far away, and one of them shouted loudly: "Who dares to commit murder in Beijing in broad daylight, come here, take it all for me!" ”
With that order, the team immediately joined the melee, and no one deliberately ordered and reminded them, so they directly attacked the group of black-clothed assassins.
At such a time, the good guys and the bad guys can be distinguished at a glance, and the dress of the assassins is too obvious, and at a glance, you can tell that what they are doing is definitely not something to see. What's more, there are women and children on Han Jiangxue's side, who are obviously in a weak position, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to attack.
With the addition of the unknown pony, the situation became clearer, and it didn't take long for the group of assassins to fall.
Seeing this, the remaining assassins stopped fighting, threw down a smoke pill and broke through in all directions.
The smoke that rose in an instant blocked everyone's sight, and Beifeng and the others naturally didn't dare to be careless, so they decisively chose to retreat to protect Han Jiangxue, and no longer risk intercepting and killing, so as not to be taken advantage of.
After five or six breaths, the smoke cleared, and except for the corpses lying on the ground, all the other black-clothed assassins took the opportunity to escape, and the team of men and horses who joined the fight to help without saying a word immediately split up.
Someone was on guard, someone began to quickly examine and dispose of the corpses on the ground, someone stepped forward to ask about what had just happened, and a man who looked like a leader quickly fell back to the front and told the handsome young man sitting on a tall horse.
After a while, the handsome young man on the tall horse waved his hand, and then rode directly to Han Jiangxue and the others.
"This girl, are you hurt?" The handsome young man walked a few steps away, then turned over and dismounted, and took two steps forward to look at Han Jiangxue and asked with a smile.
"Thank you Gongzi for saving me, fortunately, you acted in time and we were fine, and we didn't suffer any injuries." While the handsome young man looked at Han Jiangxue, Han Jiangxue naturally looked at this person and thanked him with a smile.
"The girl is polite, it is naturally impossible to sit idly by and ignore such a thing happening among the Jingshi. What's more, the girl's guards are quite powerful, and even if my men don't make a move, those assassins shouldn't be able to hurt you. The handsome young man smiled slightly, but he didn't blindly take the credit: "It's just that the girl knows who these assassins are, and why do you want to attack you?" ”
"I don't know that either. I waited for my group to arrive in Beijing yesterday, and the first time I went to the streets today, I never thought that such a thing would happen. Fortunately, when I went out at home, my relatives couldn't rest assured, and arranged guards for personal protection, and I met Gongzi and others to help, otherwise I was afraid that it would be more than lucky. ”
As Han Jiangxue spoke, someone quickly stepped forward to report to the handsome young man: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have thoroughly investigated, and there are no useful finds. It seems that this group of people must be specially trained killers, very sophisticated, and have left no clues. ”
Hearing the man call the handsome young man the prince, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but take a closer look, and quickly glanced at the little girl and Xiao Tian on the side quietly.
Xiao Niuniu didn't have any special reaction, but Xiao Tian's eyes quickly lit up, and she subconsciously stared at the handsome young man carefully.
The handsome young man naturally noticed that Xiao Tian was looking at him abnormally, and when he looked at the child, his heart suddenly moved, and then he subconsciously looked at Xiao Niuniu, and his eyes became more and more strange.
"It turns out that you are the prince, and you are disrespectful." Seeing this, Han Jiangxue blessed her slightly, and continued to say calmly: "I heard that the mansion of the King of England is not far away, I wonder if the prince is the king of England?" ”
"The girl is polite, this king is, I don't know the girl's name, I don't know if it's convenient to tell her?" The King of England once again moved his gaze back to Han Jiangxue and continued: "The girl's younger brother and sister are very cute, and I don't know if they were frightened just now. ”
Knowing that the person in front of him was the King of England, Xiao Tian's expression became more and more excited, and the little girl who didn't react much quickly looked at the King of England, and opened her mouth with a happy smile on her face to call someone.
"Niuniu, they're okay, thank you for your concern." Han Jiangxue pulled the two children slightly, signaling them not to be excited for the time being, this is not a good place to talk on the street, let alone a suitable place to disclose their identities.
The two children were very smart, and immediately understood what Han Jiangxue meant, and they were no longer in a hurry at the moment, but they never took their eyes off the face of the king.
"Lord Wang, this is not a good place to talk. I want to invite the prince to a cup of tea to express my gratitude, I wonder if the prince appreciates the face? Han Jiangxue then spoke to the king of England and invited him in public.
King Ying saw early on that Han Jiangxue's identity was not simple, whether it was the assassination experience just now, or the grace and courage shown by Han Jiangxue's guards and himself, it was not something that ordinary women could have. What's more, there is a pair of little brothers and sisters with a special age next to this woman, so the king did not refuse, and nodded without thinking about it.
"This king knows that there is an excellent teahouse nearby, and there is a private room upstairs, which is very elegant and quiet." The King of England made a gesture of please, and then walked forward to lead the way, but there was no shelf.
The group soon headed for the teahouse that the King had mentioned, and the King's subordinates had already disposed of the corpses of the Assassins on the street, and the originally quiet street gradually became full of people.
Before entering the teahouse, Dong Ling stepped forward and whispered a few words in Han Jiangxue's ear as he walked, and when the king's subordinates inspected the bodies of those black-clothed people just now, their people also took a closer look.
Hearing Dong Ling's words, Han Jiangxue's face changed slightly, but she quickly recovered, nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and didn't say anything.
And this scene, the king of England naturally saw it in his eyes, but the king of England was a very personable person, and he didn't ask too much.
His gaze once again swept over Xiao Tian and Niuniu who were following Han Jiangxue seemingly unintentionally, and when his eyes met, he also showed a soft smile, obviously having a good impression of these two children.
Under the guidance of the enthusiastic shopkeeper, the group quickly went up to the second floor and entered an elegant private room, the king only brought one entourage inside, while Han Jiangxue took Xiaotian Xiaoniu and Ziyue into the private room, and let Dongling, Beifeng and others wait outside.
