Chapter 2, Assassination on the way
"There are assassins, protect the county lord!"
The scene became chaotic in an instant, the surrounding flames were everywhere, Xiao Yici also came to Ning Wu's side with a long sword in his hand, and more than ten guards surrounded several people in the middle.
The ground is full of maidservants who have been killed by stray arrows and do not know martial arts, looking at this posture, it is obvious that they have been ambushed here for a long time, and the people behind them must have mastered their route to Beijing.
Could it be the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty? No, it can't be, if someone is sent to assassinate him at this juncture, it will be too eye-catching.
But where did these black-clad masked men come from? And what is the purpose......
Ning Wu really couldn't figure it out.
The long sword is out of the sheath, no wonder the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will send him to greet him, his martial arts are indeed strong, and he will directly kill three masked people as soon as the sword is released.
"Childe, you take the county lord to go first, and your subordinates will lead people to break off!"
There were more and more people, Lin Feng kicked away a masked man, and said to Xiao Yici with a long sword in his hand.
The latter is not a stupid person, if he can't bring the Nan'an County Lord back to the Great Song Dynasty safely, I'm afraid that more people will die!
With a whistle, the white horse not far from the tent seemed to have been summoned to gallop over here, Xiao Yici looked at the woman, and immediately decided: "County Lord, please get on the horse and leave with me immediately!" ”
She must not die here, otherwise Nan'an and Da Song will definitely meet each other, in this way, her trip will be meaningless, and the purpose of these people is obviously one of her and Xiao Yici, if they leave, Hua Ying and the others will have a chance to live!
Perhaps seeing the hesitation of his master, Huaying held the dagger in his hand tightly: "The county lord is leaving, the slave will definitely protect herself!" ”
"You must come to me alive."
After saying this, Ning Wu turned over and got on the horse cleanly, Xiao Yici followed, the situation was critical, the two rode together, and they didn't care about the difference between men and women.
"Drive!"
The man let out a low shout, and the horse immediately spread its hooves and ran forward, and it didn't take long to shake off the man in black behind him.
The cold wind howled, but it couldn't blow away the faint smell of blood in the air.
But it didn't take long before he had to hold on to the reins and stop.
"The county lord will go first, and I will break last."
Looking at the twenty or so black-clothed people holding long swords in front of him, Xiao Yici's face was heavy, these people were really prepared.
"I'm afraid, none of you will be able to leave today!"
With the extremely arrogant sound behind him, a sharp arrow broke through the air and hit the horse's hooves under the crotch, with a terrible neighing sound, Xiao Yiqi quickly took the woman and flew off the horse.
There are enemies in front and behind, and Kakage doesn't know what the situation is, but he doesn't know what the purpose of these people is.
"Who the hell are you, assassinating the lord of Nan'an is a capital crime!"
Ning Wu was protected by Xiao Yici, looked at the man at the head, and scolded coldly, the other party is overwhelming, and only by figuring out which side of the force is it can we think of countermeasures.
Unexpectedly, this person actually sneered: "County Lord? After today, who knows that you are the lord of the county, brothers, give it to me! ”
With an order, the black-clothed people around him swarmed up, Ning Wu drew his sword and flew up, right now, there was only one fight, I just hoped that Huaying could get rid of those people as soon as possible and rush over.
But she found that although these people were ruthless, they seemed to be going for the men around them.
Obviously, Xiao Yici also discovered this, took advantage of the opportunity to fight, approached Ning Wu, and said softly: "Find an opportunity later, the county lord will find a way to escape." ”
Hearing this, Ning Wu couldn't help but glance at him more, pierced the chest of the black-clothed man who wanted to sneak attack him with a sword, and spoke: "The emperor wants you to take me into Beijing, if you die, my Nan'an clan will be to blame!" ”
I didn't expect the woman to be so decisive, and she was not afraid of this scene, she had her own rules and regulations for every move, so she casually threw her a signal flare, since he Xiao Yiqi dared to come, he would naturally be prepared.
Ning Wu was stunned, but he didn't expect him to have a back hand, but he didn't hesitate to pull the lead, and a firelight shot straight into the sky.
"Not good!"
Seeing that they actually released a signal flare, the leader of the men in black was shocked and immediately ordered: "Their rescuers are coming soon, fight quickly!" ”
What the? What kind of person hates Xiao Yici so much that he wants to die together?
The offensive became more and more fierce, and Ning Wu couldn't tell whether the blood on her body was her own or the enemy's, she only knew that if she wanted to live, she must not fall.
Suddenly, only to hear the man's muffled snort, Ning Wu turned around and slashed the assassin who attacked him.
At this moment, Hua Ying and others arrived, distracting the enemy's attention, Xiao Yici was hit by a sword and still protected the woman behind him, making Ning Wu slightly moved, if it wasn't for him, maybe this sword would have stabbed on his body.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the man in black immediately flew away.
"Childe!"
Seeing that his master was injured, Lin Feng also understood the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing, and immediately came to the two of them.
Glancing at the wound on the man's shoulder, Ning Wu frowned and said, "The wound is very deep, but fortunately, the sword is non-poisonous, and you can cultivate for a while." ”
As he spoke, he tore off the hem of his skirt and tightly fixed the man's wound.
"Have you found out where these people came from?"
Knowing that Lin Feng was Xiao Yici's confidant, he would definitely make some arrangements, so he turned around to check the corpses of these black-clothed people, but they were all fresh faces.
"Qiqi County Lord, these people don't have anything on them that can prove their identity, and after the county lord and General Xiao rode their horses away, they deliberately fought with us, and it seems that they deliberately delay time."
Huaying told all his guesses, and his expression was very solemn, he was assassinated as soon as he left Nan'an, and I am afraid that it will not be peaceful in the Great Song Dynasty in the future.
Although these people deliberately targeted Xiao Yici, it cannot be ruled out that they were covering their ears and stealing the bell, for the sake of today, only to rush to the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible, and when the time comes, even if they do it, they will have some scruples.
Thinking like this, Ning Wu went to find Lin Feng.
"Guard Lin, how long will it take to reach the capital from here at the earliest."
Hearing this, Tingfeng replied respectfully: "If you don't sleep, you will have to have a day and a night at the earliest." ”
For a day and a night, Ning Wu subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yici, who was still in a coma, the maidservants who accompanied him had all been killed, and all the guards were left, and it was no problem to ride the horse for a day and a night.
But Xiao Yici was injured in the shoulder, I am afraid that he can't stand the bumps on the horse's back, let alone a day and a night......
"Lin Feng, gather people and set off for Beijing immediately."
A weak male voice sounded, it turned out that Xiao Yici woke up at some point, and was supporting himself to sit up at this time.
There was already a military doctor among the accompanying guards, and with the gold sore medicine given by Hua Ying, the bleeding quickly stopped, but his face was still a little pale.
"Childe, but ...... your injury," Lin Feng hesitated.
"Don't go yet!"
