Chapter 708: Lu Yang's Night
(Everyone, if you have a ticket, let's go, and if you have a coin, book it!) )
The birthday banquet held by Yan Mansion was still affected by the current situation, and many of the people who were invited were only courteous to the point that they had not yet arrived, so that several tables came out empty.
But Yan Jinsheng thought about these things more openly, so the birthday banquet process was not affected, and it was still lively.
Yan Jinsheng's father is seventy-five this year, and his spirit looks quite good, and he participated in the whole birthday banquet.
After Chen Xiaoting toasted the old lady, he only chatted with Yan Jinsheng for a few words, and then planned to leave Yan's mansion and go back to rest.
This will not make people feel that he does not give face, he can already give Yan Jinsheng face.
Although there were still most of the guests inside, Yan Jinsheng still left those people behind and personally sent Chen Xiaoting outside the gate.
"Brother Yan, I still have a bunch of things over there, so I can only say goodbye first!" Chen Xiaoting arched his hand.
Yan Jinsheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, if you have something, hurry up, we Yongxi can't leave you!" ”
After the two of them chatted a few more words, Chen Xiaoting really turned around and left, and Yang Kai was already leading the horse and waiting outside at this time.
After turning over and getting on the horse, after saying goodbye to Yan Jinsheng, Chen Xiaoting led the team away.
Leaving the Yan Mansion, Chen Xiaoting wanted to go home at this time, he just didn't want to waste time in the Yan Mansion, so he said that there were a lot of things in his yamen.
Walking slowly on the road, Chen Xiaoting has been thinking about things in his head, and he has always been a little restless recently.
There are reports of arrests of the White Lotus Sect members in various places, which means that the White Lotus Sect is going to make a big deal, and even directly pull the flag to rebel.
This is the worst-case scenario, if the White Lotus Sect rebels at this time, the situation may be beyond Chen Xiaoting's control.
Now it seems that when he returned to Yongxi from the capital, he was tantamount to jumping into the fire pit.
It's a pity that the emperor's order is difficult, since the emperor ordered him to do this, Chen Xiaoting can't complain about others.
At this time, I only heard Yang Kai say on the side: "My lord, the New Year will be in two months, and I don't know when we will be able to go back!" ”
They had left the capital at the beginning of July, and had completed three months, but their errand showed no signs of completion...... At least in Yang Kai's opinion.
Chen Xiaoting withdrew from his thoughts, and then said to everyone: "Good men are ambitious in all directions, this trip to Yongxi ...... You're in for a great deal! ”
In order to further stabilize the morale of the army, Chen Xiaoting continued: "After returning to the capital, many of you will be promoted, and the worst of you will be rewarded!" ”
Chen Xiaoting was not joking when he said this, if the White Lotus Sect was really destroyed, everyone who went out of Beijing with him would have great merit, of course, the biggest credit was his.
Hearing this, Yang Kai's serious image immediately collapsed, only to see him smile and say: "My lord, our brothers guard you day and night, and there is no merit and hard work, and in the future, it will all depend on your support!" ”
Yang Kai's words made his lieutenants grateful, and the boss who fought for his own benefits was the most respectable.
Chen Xiaoting said with a smile: "Your merits, this official will naturally remember it in his heart!" ”
At this time, they had already left the alley where Yan's Mansion was located, and turned a corner into another alley, which was a dim and quiet alley.
Da ...... The sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear in the alley.
"How do you feel a chill down your spine!" A lieutenant said to his companion.
As his words fell, he heard a sound of breaking through the air, and when Chen Xiaoting concluded that it was the sound of a crossbow arrow, an iron arrow had already attacked him.
"Bad ......"
After these two words popped up in Chen Xiaoting's heart, the arrow was already inserted in his chest, and then he fell off the horse uncontrollably.
Yang Kai drew a knife in one hand and shouted: "There are assassins, protect your lord!" ”
In fact, the captains had already unsheathed their swords at this time, and at the same time surrounded Chen Xiaoting, who had fallen off his horse, in the middle.
But then, there were second, third, and fourth arrows, and at this time the captains only hated not wearing iron armor.
The light was dim, and they could only roughly determine the direction of the Assassin.
Therefore, after the first lieutenant was shot, Yang Kai immediately led people to kill in the direction of the assassin, instead of staying where he was and waiting for death.
Of course, in order to protect Chen Xiaoting's safety, Yang Kai left three people behind when he left.
"Kill ......" only Yang Kai's voice was left in the alley.
Speaking of Chen Xiaoting, he was sitting on the ground at this time, so he carefully drew his saber.
This is a silver-inlaid embroidered spring knife that represents his identity as a thousand households, and he never thought that he would use this knife to fight before, because since he sat in the position of a hundred households, he has never touched anyone.
With the sword in his hand, Chen Xiaoting can still wave it like an arm, and he has never relaxed in martial arts.
As for the arrow stuck in his chest, Chen Xiaoting did not pull him out, but it is certain that his injuries are not serious.
After He Xinghong and Cao Yunchun were assassinated in a row, Chen Xiaoting put heart goggles on his chest, which was useful this time.
But the power of the crossbow machine was too great, the heart goggles were still punctured, and the arrow was inserted into Chen Xiaoting's skin by at least one centimeter.
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, it must be time to come out!" Chen Xiaoting said silently in his heart.
Yang Kai and the others were obviously led away, but Chen Xiaoting did not stop them, purely to lure the snake out of the hole.
He only made a few moves, making it clear that he was showing the assassins in the shadows, and then luring these people out.
If you can sneak into the city to assassinate them, there will definitely not be too many people, and Chen Xiaoting is sure that he will leave these people behind.
And when he thought of this, he heard the captain standing behind him shouting: "What person, stop!" ”
It's a pity that people ignored his words, jumped down from the roofs on both sides, raised their knives and rushed towards Chen Xiaoting and the others.
There were five people on the other side, and there were only three lieutenants around Chen Xiaoting, so the assassins had a great advantage.
This is a perfect opportunity, only to hear Zheng Quan shouting: "Brothers, leave no room alive!" ”
The movement on their side can easily attract soldiers to patrol the city, so they must fight quickly.
"Kill ......"
The captains are not vegetarians, and they can barely resist under the formation of the three, but the horses that are used as meat shields are frightened away.
The Assassins thought he was seriously injured, so they let their guard down on him until one of them moved two steps away from Chen.
Chen Xiaoting moved, only to see him turn over and get up from the ground, raise the knife and cut the person who moved in front of him to the ground.
The situation immediately became four to four, and Chen Xiaoting had already killed one person, and the momentum of the captains was aroused.
Those killing moves in his previous life, coupled with the connection that had been in place for many years, Chen Xiaoting's force value stunned the captains.
After he cut down the first man, only a dozen seconds later he reaped the second life, and the remaining three assassins were completely at a disadvantage.
The development of the situation was completely beyond Zheng Quan's expectations, and it was just that the crossbow arrow didn't shoot Chen Xiaoting to death, and that layer knew that this guy was still so capable of fighting.
Although he didn't want to think in that direction, Zheng Quan still had a huge panic in his heart, and he knew that he might be late today.
And just as he was thinking about this, two dead men were cut down by one more.
Chen Xiaoting saw that Zheng Quan was the main messenger, so he said to the captains beside him: "Leave this to me, and the three of you take him down!" ”
Since Chen Qianhu's force was so strong, the captains naturally obeyed orders, so in the end, the dead soldier was surrounded and beaten.
Looking at the masked Zheng Quan in front of him, Chen Xiaoting raised the knife slightly, and said with a smile: "If you want to kill me, give you a chance now!" ”
