Mingyun held the short knife tightly and followed behind Cicada Yue.

It all happened so suddenly that she was caught off guard. Why did an Assassin target her? Could it be that the group of people in the Chu State still don't worry about themselves and want her to shut up forever. However, at this moment, she did not have time to think about it.

The carriage was not far away, and it was only necessary to rush out ten paces before you could leave on a fast horse, but the group of Assassins was clearly on guard against this. One of the Assassins threw a small dart and stabbed the horse's buttocks, causing the horse to feel pain and fright, and immediately spread its hooves and ran wildly. The remaining horses were also attacked to varying degrees, and in the blink of an eye, all the horses they brought were frightened away.

The Assassin slowly gathered from behind them. There was no way to retreat, Mingyun stopped, no longer retreated, but pointed at the other party with a short knife, and asked sharply: "Who are you instructed by, and do you know who I am!" What will happen if I kill me? ”

The Assassins turned a deaf ear to her words and simply approached.

Mingyun said: "How much money your employer pays for my life, I will pay three times." Now that you know who I am, you must know that I can afford it. ”

Mingyun saw that the assassins on the other side were still indifferent.

Chang Fei and the guards had already been injured, and each of them had several blood cuts on their bodies, dripping blood outward, a blinding scarlet. By now, the Assassins had surrounded them. Cicada Moon also fought with the assassins, and it didn't take long for her body to be painted.

Mingyun has always loved martial arts and has a little skill. At this time, she couldn't hide, she couldn't dodge, she couldn't run, so she also rushed forward with a short knife, since these people were determined to take her life, even if they couldn't fight, they would pull a few more pads to die. One more pad back and more decent.

One of the assassins closest to Mingyun seemed a little shocked by her sudden rush forward, and her movements slowed down for a moment. Mingyun seized the opportunity, stabbed the man's right arm, and slashed down fiercely until the tip of the knife came out from under the elbow, directly cutting a five or six inches long bloody wound on the man's arm.

The wounded assassin howled, and as he watched her look turn fiercely, he reluctantly swapped the knife for his left hand. When Mingyun thought that this person was going to fight back, the person did not attack her again, and his target was still Cicada Yue.

Mingyun stood in the shadow of the sword with a bloody knife in his hand, but found that all the blades had deliberately avoided him. Even though he was accidentally attacked by her, there was still not a single knife coming at him.

At this moment, Mingyun understood that these people wanted to catch her alive, and only one of her was caught alive.

"Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Mingyun roared. Her voice was hoarse from high fever, and this cry seemed a little heartbreaking.

After understanding that the purpose of these people was himself, Mingyun put the dagger to his neck and said fiercely: "If you don't stop, I'll show you!" If you don't want me to die and can only take a corpse back, then stop me all. This was clearly useful, and the Assassins paused when they heard this. The Assassins looked at one of them, presumably the leader. The leader made a gesture, and the Assassins stopped moving.

Mingyun still held the dagger at his neck, and let Chang Fei, Cicada Yue and the other guards return to his side. Chang Fei and the others were not lightly injured, covered in blood, and could barely stand.

Mingyun clenched his fist and stood at the front alone, holding a dagger and asking, "Who are you?" ”

The Assassins did not answer. They didn't say a word, and at the signal of the leader, the assassins stopped attacking, but surrounded Mingyun and the others, and their steps moved slowly, constantly narrowing the circle.

Mingyun was besieged in the middle, and there was no way to retreat. The dagger was pressed tightly against his neck, cold and piercing. She looked around at the group of Assassins slowly closing towards her, and asked again, "What do you want to do?" Who sent you? ”

The Assassin remained silent, his eyes cold.

"If you don't say it, I won't let you take it away even if I die." Mingyun glared at the assassin leader with red eyes and said sharply.

The Assassins were still slowly approaching, as if sure she wouldn't dare scratch herself. Mingyun bit his lip tightly, and with a stroke of his hand, there was a bloody wound on his neck. Mingyun's complexion was snow-white, and the red blood on Xue's tender neck was slowly flowing down, looking very dazzling.

The Assassin Leader's eyes changed, and as soon as he raised his hand, he ordered everyone not to move, and said, "Your guards can't protect you anymore, it's only a matter of time before you take you away, and it's useless for you to spend it." The employer's request is indeed our grasp, so we will not hurt you or do anything to you. His voice was gloomy and tinged with a bit of yin and yang. His eyes swept over the seriously injured Chang Fei and the others, smiled contemptuously, looked at Ming Yun, and said, "However, whether you are willing to go with us or not, these people other than you are destined to die." ”

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense! You can't go with him, I Chang Fei fought with this life today, and I want to protect you even if I die! Chang Fei raised his blood-stained sword and glared at the leader of the assassins.

Cicada Yue also held the sword tightly and said, "That's right, master, we are willing to die, and we will protect you!" ”

"That's right." Mingyun took the dagger away from his neck, pointed it in the direction of the assassin, and said, "There are many of you, we really can't beat you, but if you want me to go with you, it's impossible." I don't know who is behind you, but I tell you, I'm willing to fight to the death and won't go with you. ”

The assassin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the coldness was even worse, and he threatened: "Although it was captured, it didn't say that there could be no injuries at all." Since you are so ignorant, we can only do it, the sword has no eyes, and we accidentally hurt you at that time, but don't regret it. ”

Mingyun sneered when he heard this, and said coldly: "Since you came to arrest me, you must also know who I am." If you dare to hurt me once, I will remember you ten times. The knife will be rewarded, and you will not regret it then. ”

The assassin Yin Owl chuckled and said, "What I do is the business of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and the last thing I am afraid of is death." You don't have to threaten me, I don't eat you. Since you don't cooperate like this, we can only come to be strong. He made a gesture, and the assassins raised their swords one after another, pointing the tips of their swords at Mingyun and the others.

Standing in the tip of the knife, Mingyun's eyes were awe-inspiring. In the midst of this tension, an iron arrow burst through the air, striking an assassin. The arrow entered the back of the Assassin's neck, and the tip of the arrow came out of the throat, piercing the man's neck.

The leader of the assassins was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where the iron arrow had come from, and saw seven or eight men galloping in the distance, and at the forefront was a man in black with a draped hat, holding the reins in one hand and the crossbow arrows in the other. Obviously, the arrow was fired by him.

The leader of the Assassins never expected reinforcements from Mingyun's side. After his recent investigation, she only brought five guards. Who the hell are these people? Before they had time to think about it, the galloping group of men and horses took out their crossbow arrows and aimed them at them, and the sharp arrows came one after another, each of which would kill a companion.

As soon as the leader of the assassins saw the momentum of the other party, he knew that it was hard stubble, and even though there were many people on his side, he was by no means an opponent of those people. He knew that something had changed, so he planned to catch Mingyun first and complete the task. He quickly attacked, and Mingyun held the dagger and ran to block it. The Assassin did not dare to kill her, and was quite scruples.

At this stall, Ziji rode into the group of assassins on a fast horse, came to Mingyun's side, drew his long sword and swung it at the assassin leader. At the moment when the assassin was dodging, Ziji sank down on the horse, reached out and grabbed Mingyun's arm, scooped the person to the horse, and said, "It's me, Handan Ji." I'll take you first. ”

Mingyun recognized that this voice was indeed Handan Ji, and was really surprised: "Handan Ji!?" ”

Ziji quickly urged the horse, lifted half of the veil, and said, "I just saw it yesterday, this face won't be forgotten so soon, right?" ”

"It's really you!" Mingyun exclaimed, she naturally won't forget this face, and no one can forget a person who once held a sword against her neck. Although she didn't know why Handan Ji suddenly appeared, she knew that she was saved at this moment. Cicada Moon and they were still in danger, and on the horse, her face was pale and anxious, and she couldn't stop looking back.

Ziji said: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." The person the other party wants to capture is you, and you are taken away by me, and those assassins have no reason to entangle again. ”

"But—"

"Trust me, it's going to be fine." Ziji said in a deep voice.

The wind brought by the galloping horse blew open the black curtain of Ziji's hanging hat, revealing his face. Mingyun looked back at him, Ziji glanced back, and said, "I believe in my people, and you have to believe in your people." ”

Mingyun's eyes turned red, and he bit his lip and said, "Okay, I believe it." ”

The black horse galloped on all fours, and soon ran far away. In a safe place, Ziji reined in his horse. He dismounted first, stretched out his hand towards Mingyun, and said, "Those assassins can't catch up here, come down, help you deal with your wounds first." ”

"I can come down myself." Mingyun said.

She avoided Ziji's outstretched hand. She still wanted to turn over and dismount as usual, but after all, she still had a fever, and when she jumped down, she couldn't help but feel dizzy, and she didn't stand firm all of a sudden, and threw herself forward.

"Be careful." Ziji was in front, and he subconsciously reached out to support Mingyun.

said it was a support, but the two were too close, like a hug. The voice was above her head, and when Mingyun raised her eyes, she first saw the other party's Adam's apple, and then raised her eyes to meet the other party's dark eyes, she felt quite uncomfortable for a moment, so she immediately pushed Ziji away, frowned and stopped looking at him.

Ziji shook his palm, and felt a little rude. However, when he saw that the wound on Mingyun's neck was still bleeding, his brows furrowed, and he said, "You have to stop the bleeding quickly, I didn't care about your injuries when I was urging the horse just now." ”
