Chapter 9: Attacked
For Master Li, Duan Zhong thinks from the perspective of a prostitute, so there is no reason to let it go. However, some people spoiled the scenery, so they could only pat their buttocks and leave, leaving a polite word to come back another day. As for whether you can really come back another day, who will bird you? Let's play with eggs.
Xiao Beiping was also extremely reluctant, because Xiao Beiping at this moment was as obsessed with Master Li as the Shizi in Jiangnan! In this world, there is always a legend of the entanglement between the guy in the royal family and the woman in the Qinglou, which is naturally a good story to pass down, but obviously, if something can happen between Xiao Beiping and Master Li, it is impossible to pass it down.
Out of the Drunken Red Mansion, the two are still the focus of everyone. Although I had a face-to-face with Liao Zhangjin, the governor of Jiangnan, our eldest prince Xiao Beiping lowered his head, and secondly, when Lord Liao first came, he didn't know what was going on, so he let our eldest prince slip under his nose. The two of them ran wildly all the way, taking advantage of the night to string a few alleys, and finally asked everyone's attention.
Duan Zhong touched his nose and laughed dryly. Xiao Beiping sighed: "You are doing this, it's too nonsense." If today's events get out, I don't know if it's me, but if I do, I'm afraid I'll be stained again. ”
Duan Zhong shook his head: "I helped you get in the limelight, but I'm afraid that if it spreads, it will also make you famous." What's more, you are not from Northern Liang, and you are also the great prince of Southern Liang. Afraid of what? ”
Xiao Beiping shook his head: "This is not true. Naturally, this gentleman in Jiangnan will not be embarrassed by me, but I am afraid that some people in the DPRK and China have fabricated charges on my head with ulterior motives. ”
Duan Zhong raised two fingers and whispered, "You mean him?" ”
Xiao Beiping nodded: "There are many ministers in the court who are attached to him, I only know a few on the surface, and I don't know the forces in the secret." So I'm going to guard against cold arrows coming from everywhere. ”
Duan Zhong sighed: "This prince is not so easy to be in the first place. ”
Xiao Beiping nodded, and suddenly seemed to have found something, and his expression suddenly became nervous: "Something is wrong." At this moment, my guards should have chased after me, why haven't they come here for so long? ”
Duan Zhong also smelled a hint of unease. The night in this alley is too quiet. Touching his nose: "Cold arrow!" Then he pulled Xiao Beiping's hand suddenly, and the two rolled on the ground twice.
At the same time, there were several sounds of wind breaking through the air in the dark night, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of dark arrows were shot at the place where the two had been standing.
"Let's go!" Duan Zhong let out a low shout, pulled Xiao Beiping and ran forward. At the same time, he reached out and touched his arms, and took out a silver needle in his hand, and the silver light flickered, diffusing into the darkness. Then I heard a few muffled grunts in the darkness.
Duan Zhong was extremely nervous at the moment, but he still remained calm. Duan Zhong knew that these were naturally coming for Xiao Beiping at this moment, but these were very likely to be attracted to Xiao Beiping by himself at this moment. What we did today was indeed a bit reckless and hasty, but it has come to this point, and there is no room for reversibility. Although Duan Zhong can be regarded as a master in the martial arts, he does not have this ability against an unknown number of enemies hidden in the dark. What's more, no one can say whether there will be one or two masters of the second stage, the third stage, or even the first stage hidden in this darkness, so all you can do now is to run, run to a crowded place.
Xiao Beiping was holding his arm at the moment, and Fang Cai's secret arrow raid had already injured him. The arrow cut through his clothes and brought a piece of flesh on his arm. Although the wound was not very deep, it was still bleeding. This is not very good news, as the blood spilled along the way will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble to escape. This is not the first time Xiao Beiping has been attacked, although this is the first time outside the capital, but the experience has told him that only by maintaining calm and speed can he have a chance to avoid this assassination.
Several corpses were crossed along the way, and Xiao Beiping naturally recognized that this was the corpse of his guard. And these guards are all masters of the third stage, there are as many as five, but at this moment they have become without corpses, which is enough to show the strength of the opponent. It was enough to make Xiao Beiping feel palpitations. However, with Duan Zhong in front of him at this moment, Xiao Beiping still felt a lot more stable.
This time, for the first time, Duan Zhong felt that his physical strength was not enough. Xiao Beiping's running speed was originally slow, and this way was equivalent to Duan Zhong carrying a person for his life. Therefore, Duan Zhong regretted the decision he had just made to drill into the deep alley. According to preliminary estimates, there are about 20 people on the other side, and five people have been sniped by their own hidden weapons, and there should be about 17 or 8 people left. And the remaining seventeen or eighteen people have at least two masters of the third stage or more.
This is a very bad signal, if Duan Zhong is against a master of the last three sections, he will win steadily, and how many more will he win, and if there is one more person at this moment, even if it is only a martial artist of the fifth stage, Duan Zhong will only have to wait for death.
The lanes of Hangzhou City seem to be particularly deep, and this night is also very dark. And Duan Chong is also very tired. Suddenly saw a garbage heap from the corner of the street, Duan Zhong did not hesitate, suddenly took an arrow step, stuffed Xiao Beiping into it, and shouted in a low voice: "Stay here, don't make a sound!" Then he bit his lip, drew his sword and slashed his arm, throwing blood all the way to the ground, and ran in another direction.
Xiao Beiping's face was a little pale at the moment, and the excessive blood loss made his consciousness a little blurred. However, he still heard Duan Chong's instructions very clearly. Breath.
The sound in the dark night was particularly harsh, and the rustling footsteps came into Xiao Beiping's ears, and after listening to the garbage heap for a few seconds, he chased it into the distance. Xiao Beiping took a long breath, knowing that these chasing people had gone far away at this moment. And the strong smell of garbage has also rushed into Xiao Beiping's nose. But Xiao Beiping didn't dare to move, because no one knew if there were other killers lurking in the night.
And Duan Zhong is running wildly in the alley at the moment. Blood was dripping. In front of him, there was a dead alley, and at the end of the dead alley stood a person, a man in black with a sword.
The man in black looked at Duan Zhong quietly and frowned: "Just you?" Obviously, this killer is waiting for Duan Chong and Xiao Beiping, and Duan Chong is naturally a secondary figure.
Duan Zhong didn't speak, but instead the sword in his hand was in his hand. Although on the surface it seems to be a dead end, Duan Zhong can climb over the wall. The only obstacle at the moment is this man in black, so it is necessary to solve the immediate trouble before the assassin behind him chases him.
The silver light slashed, and the Duan family's sword was extremely simple, very straight, and very fast. The black-clothed man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he let out a low snort, and the sword in his hand stabbed out at the same time. I only heard a crisp sound of "bang", and the two swords were crossed together.
A master on the second stage. Such a thought immediately rose in the center of Duanzhong, in front of such a master, it is obvious that he will lose by fighting hard, not to mention that there are chasing soldiers behind. However, Duan Chong's sword is not to weigh the strength of this martial artist, but to borrow strength.
The moment the two swords clashed together, the sword in Duan Chong's hand pressed suddenly, his body kicked to the side, stepped on the wall, and jumped up. It's about to go over the wall.
However, the opponent was a master of the second stage, and in the face of Duan Chong's trick, he was surprised that the sword was not slow at all. Hearing only a "stab" sound, the silver sword slashed through Duan Chong's thigh, leaving a huge gap.
Duan Chong, on the other hand, snorted, and his body flew out, over the wall, and planted himself on the ground. Enduring the severe pain, Duan Zhong turned over without any hesitation and disappeared into the darkness like a fly.
The man in black jumped up sharply and climbed over the wall, but he didn't see Duan Chong's figure. He snorted angrily, and his eyes flashed. Obviously, this sword was in Duan Zhong's calculations. Otherwise, Duan Chong will definitely not be able to escape the entanglement of this master on the second stage, and when the killer behind catches up, Duan Chong is immortal will die here.
And the reason why Duan Zhong dared to resist this sword was also calculated that this sword could only leave a wound on the outside of his thigh at most, and it would not hurt the artery, although it was only so ...... A little bit.
The footsteps in front of the courtyard wall gradually intensified, and a group of black-clothed people quickly chased after them. Looking at the master of the second stage standing on the wall, the leading one said, "What about people? ”
"Ran away."
"Ran away?" The sharp voice raised his voice by three points, "Five people died, and these two boys ran away?" ”
The black-clothed master on the second stage nodded and spoke, "Tell the employer that the action failed, and the silver will be returned." There is also a corpse blood stain to deal with. ”
The men in black nodded in unison and disappeared into the darkness without a sound.
The night in Hangzhou is still silent. That night, still nothing happened.
And Xiao Beiping was curled up in the garbage heap at the moment, covering his nose with his hands, but his body didn't dare to move. Because no one knows if this move will attract countless darts and arrows. The smell of garbage has diffused in Xiao Beiping's body, slowly spreading, spreading......
Suddenly, Xiao Beiping's pupils shrank. The sound of footsteps slowly approached the garbage heap. One step, one step closer. Xiao Beiping slowly turned sideways, without making any sound, and there was already an extra dagger in his hand, ready to stab out at any time.
A weak voice reached Xiao Beiping's ears: "Are you still alive?" ”
It's a paragraph weight. Xiao Beiping took a breath. Tumbling and crawling out of the garbage heap, he lay on the ground and gulped in fresh air.
Duan Zhong covered his nose and took two steps back: "You are the most smelly prince I have ever seen!" ”
