Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 83 The Mist
"Young master, be careful!"
As soon as Linghu Ji's words came out, a feather arrow broke through the wind and nailed it directly to the eaves of the carriage, and then another batch of feather arrows came out of the darkness and roared...... The frightened horse was shot into a hedgehog by a feathered arrow before it could run, and Linghu Ji, who was originally sitting in the carriage, disappeared.
The experienced Ling Hu Jian naturally knew that the other party's first arrow was just to measure the distance of his companions, so when the first feather arrow was just nailed to the eaves of the roof of the car, Ling Hu Jian quickly got into the carriage. It's not that he's timid, but because his main purpose is to protect Mu Qiuhuang...... And even he would find it tricky to face this kind of long-range attack feather arrow, and the most important thing is that he didn't know how many people were hidden in the shadows? Therefore, it is the most correct choice to conserve your stamina as much as possible in order to deal with the next enemy.
Countless feather arrows shot at the carriage, and there was a clanging sound, and the weaker feather arrows were inserted into the carriage like the first one, and the powerful feather arrows were directly bounced off by the steel plates on the inner wall of the carriage and scattered to the ground.
From this point, it can be seen that the saying "one price is worth the price" still makes sense, and this special carriage, which costs ten times more expensive than ordinary cars, shows its defensive nature very well and proves that it is worth the money...... Although the feathered arrows were sharp, none of them could penetrate the carriage.
……
Mu Qiuhuang sat there calmly, not showing a trace of nervousness, as if he had already known about this ambush, while Ling Hu Ji was half-squatting in the carriage with bated breath, listening to the movement outside with his ears pricked up, ready to jump out and fight the other party in close quarters at any time.
Soon, the clanging sound outside was gone.
Mu Qiuhuang smiled at Ling Huji, and said helplessly: "It seems that we have to go back now." ”
Ling Hu Ji looked at Mu Qiuhuang suspiciously, I don't know why he was so relaxed?
"Alright, let's get out of the car and go." Mu Qiuhuang said to Ling Huji.
"Young master, ...... this?" Ling Hu Ji had just asked half a sentence, when his ears suddenly moved, and he stretched out his hand to stop Mu Qiuhuang, who was about to get out of the car, and said softly: "They are here." ”
At this time, the smile on Mu Qiuhuang's face also disappeared, and it was replaced by a solemn and puzzled expression.
When he could clearly hear the other party's footsteps, Ling Hu Ji said to Mu Qiuhuang: "Young master, wait a while, and I will go down first to send them away." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ling Hu Jian had already jumped out.
Mu Qiuhuang only heard a "click", and then felt that the chassis of the carriage seemed to rise a few centimeters higher, Mu Qiuhuang didn't need to go out to know, this must have made Hu Ji take off the Xuanhua axe he put in the secret pavilion of the carriage, the Xuanhua Mansion weighed almost one hundred and sixty catties, with it pressed, the carriage chassis would naturally be low, take it away at this moment, the carriage suddenly lost weight, and the carriage chassis naturally increased.
It seems that it is not a master who comes.
Because it was less than a cup of tea, he heard Ling Hujie shouting outside the carriage: "The thief has been solved, and the young master can get off the carriage." ”
"Are there really thieves?" Mu Qiuhuang was obviously stunned when he heard Ling Huji's words, and slowly lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, only to see more than 20 black-clothed and masked thieves lying on the ground, all of whom were killed by Ling Hujie with an axe.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at the corpses all over the ground and frowned, and at this moment, Mu Qiuhuang suddenly found that there was an assassin in the distance who moved slightly, obviously not dead.
Ling Hujie opened his mouth to explain: "He seems to be the leader...... I saved a few points. ”
Mu Qiuhuang glanced at Ling Hu Ji appreciatively, and walked quickly to the assassin.
The assassin turned his head with difficulty to look at Mu Qiuhuang, who noticed that the place where he was hit by the axe was indeed different from others, and it was a few points away from his heart, and it seemed that it was indeed a living mouth left by Ling Hu Ji, but his face also became very pale because of excessive blood loss, although he was not dead at this time, he should not live for long...... But Mu Qiuhuang still opened his mouth to seduce: "Who sent you?" As long as you tell me who is behind it, I will immediately arrange for someone to treat you and spare your life......"
After hearing Mu Qiuhuang's words, the assassin opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something?
"What do you say? Be louder. Mu Qiuhuang said anxiously, subconsciously squatting down and leaning in front of the assassin.
At this moment, the assassin, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly jumped up and stabbed at Mu Qiuhuang with a dagger in his hand.
It's just obvious that this killing blow before he died still failed...... His wrist holding the dagger was grabbed by Mu Qiuhuang.
"I gave you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish it." Mu Qiuhuang said with regret, and then he heard a "click", only to see that the assassin's wrist was directly broken by Mu Qiuhuang, followed by a "click", and his other wrist was also broken by Mu Qiuhuang.
The assassin was first hit by Ling Huji's axe, and then Mu Qiuhuang broke both wrists, and was lying there panting in pain, with cold sweat rippling on his forehead, revealing a loveless appearance.
But even so, Mu Qiuhuang still didn't want to give him a good ...... Mu Qiuhuang stared into his eyes and continued, "It's painful, right? Do you feel that life is worse than death? …… In this way, I will give you another chance, as long as you tell the mastermind behind the scenes, I will give you a good ...... If you are still going to die, I will send someone to heal you, and then break your limbs again, and then heal you and break your limbs, and I will let you experience the pain of the present every day, so that you are better than d......ying."
Ling Hu Jian listened to Mu Qiuhuang's words at this time, and he couldn't help but have some palpitations in his heart. He didn't wonder that Mu Qiuhuang could dodge the assassin's killer blow, because he knew that the comprehensive strength of this group of assassins was only around four grades, plus this assassin was seriously injured by himself...... He just had some palpitations at the ruthlessness of Mu Qiuhuang's current attack, which Mu Qiuhuang had never appeared before.
After Mu Qiuhuang finished speaking, seeing that the other party was still not ready to speak, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but when he reached out to pinch the other party's mouth, he found a big problem, it turned out that the other party had his tongue cut...... Mu Qiuhuang then opened the mouths of several corpses around him and looked at them, and found that this group of assassins had their tongues cut out.
"How so?" Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself, and couldn't help but think of what Ji Yan said to a few of them when he was in Tianxiangju just now.
……
At that time, Ji Yan said that he would arrange for assassins to pretend to assassinate on the way back...... Its purpose is to stir up the turbid water in this Fengling City and see what is hidden under the water? This time, the princes' children were edicted to enter Beijing, and the matter was full of strangeness, first of all, until now, everyone still didn't know what the little emperor meant by recruiting the princes' children into Beijing this time? Or is it the meaning of Xiahou's lineage? …… It has been more than half a month since the children of the princes entered this Fengling City, but the really high-ranking officials in the court have only seen Yan Kun alone, and this is because of Yan Kun's duties, as for other officials, they actually avoided these princes' children, and even Ji Yan was turned away when he went to visit Xiahou Xuanba in person, you must know that this situation has never happened in the past. But what if an assassin assassinated the children of the princes in Fengling City? Just imagine, if the princes' children encountered assassins in Kyoto, the first thing would be that the little emperor and the Xiahou line would be suspicious of each other. Xiahou is the dominant family in the court, and the little emperor has long dared to be angry...... In other words, there has long been a gap between the little emperor and Xiahou in their hearts. "Estrangement" is actually the most terrible thing, once it exists, it is difficult to eliminate, and people can transform each other's advantages into disadvantages, and disadvantages, into big disadvantages, through the "estrangement" in their hearts; Once the other party's actions touch their own interests, the estrangement will become a catalyst, involving all the past grievances and grievances between the two...... And when his own affairs are interfered with by external factors, the first target of suspicion must be the person who has been estranged from him, and he will feel that the other party is deliberately making trouble for him...... And now the little emperor and Xiahou are in the same vein, no matter whose idea is it that the princes' children went to Beijing for a banquet last day? Once it is said that these princes' children have been assassinated, then the little emperor and Xiahou will definitely blame each other first...... At that time, by looking at their active and passive actions, we can judge whose meaning it is that the children of the Zhao princes enter Beijing this time?
……
……
But when Mu Qiuhuang thought that these assassins were sent by Ji Yan for appearance, he found that these assassins had turned from fake to real, and one thing was for sure, these assassins were definitely not Ji Yan's people. In other words, in addition to Ji Yan's fake assassination, there are also a group of real assassins who don't know that they belong to that force...... And this force really exists in the dark, and they are not really assassinated to kill Mu Qiuhuang, but it is like to show that someone dares to assassinate Mu Qiuhuang under the emperor's nose in the imperial capital Fengling City, or to magnify it a little more, that is, the princes' children have been assassinated in the imperial capital.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at the corpse on the ground and his head was really big, he really couldn't think of who would send this team at all? …… Judging from the fact that all these killers were cut out of their tongues, in fact, the other party was also afraid of revealing his true identity.
……
"Who could it be?" Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself, he felt as if he was in a fog now, and he still couldn't get out of the fog.
