The remaining masked men, realizing that there was no chance to strike again, jumped off the other side of the roof, fell into the alley, and ran away.

Call!

The curtain of the carriage opened, and a man jumped out of it. The surrounding people looked fixedly, and the one who jumped out was none other than Lian Dan, the first general.

I saw that Lian Dan's face and body were covered with blood, his eyes were red, and his beard and hair were all open, and his appearance was like a ghost.

"General--" The surrounding soldiers exclaimed in fright.

Lian Dan's face was gloomy and about to drip water, and he shouted at the people around him: "I'm fine!" Take down the assassins for me, and don't let anyone go!" ”

People looked at Lian Dan carefully, although there were blood stains on his body, but there were no wounds, and they turned their eyes to the carriage and looked, there was still a person lying inside, Wang Xun.

The terrifying thing is that on Wang Xun's back, there are more than ten crossbow arrows nailed, and their strength is so great that more than half of the crossbow arrows have not entered his body, almost shooting through his body, and others are lying in the car, already motionless, and there are a large pool of blood on the ground.

The people were stunned for a moment, and then shouted in unison: "Capture the assassin, don't let anyone go!" Capture the Assassins—"

At this time, the scene has become a mess, the people who originally watched the excitement, holding their heads, fled in all directions, and the cavalry shouted again and again, urging the war horses, and rampaged.

Liu Xiu, Liu Xuan, Feng Yi and the others looked at each other, and invariably drew their swords under their ribs, and shouted with the officers and soldiers: "Arrest the assassin--"

They couldn't figure out what was going on, but in this case, even to avoid suspicion, they had to pretend and act like they were the same enemy.

Liu Xiu and the others parted the panicked crowd and ran into a small alley on the side of the road. While running forward, Liu Xuanhu asked suspiciously, "Who assassinated Lian Dan?" ”

Gai Yan frowned and muttered, "Could it be that some barbarians have infiltrated the city?" ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, and they subconsciously quickened their pace.

They were running forward when the sound of horses' hoofs came from behind. When he stopped, he saw a group of cavalry also rushing into the alley.

Liu Xiu and the others retreated to the side one after another, making way for the cavalry.

When the cavalry ran in front of them, one of the leaders pointed to the intersection on the right side of the road in front of them and shouted: "Wait for the rebels to outflank the intersection on the right, and if you find an assassin, you can shout!" ”

"Yes!" Seeing that the eldest brother and the others didn't mean to talk, Liu Xiu responded.

The leader didn't have time to talk to them, and rushed to the intersection in front of him with dozens of his horses, and entered the alley on the left.

Liu Xiu and the others followed the instructions of the leader and entered the alley on the right.

Feng Yi said: "Lian Dan and Wang Xun were in the carriage together, but just now, only Lian Dan came out alone. ”

Liu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice: "It is estimated that Wang Xun was killed by random arrows nine times out of ten?" ”

Feng Yi didn't answer, only nodded.

Liu Xuan blinked, laughed, and said, "Regardless of whether the assassin is a barbarian or not, killing Wang Xun can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, right?" ”

In Liu Xuan's mind, Wang Xun is a complete unconscious official, and he is not worthy of being the Taishou of Hanzhong County, if Wang Xun is really shot by assassins, this is a happy event for the people of Hanzhong.

Feng Yi glanced around, fortunately there were no outsiders around, and he reminded in a low voice: "Brother Bosheng be cautious!" ”

As they were running forward, they suddenly saw three figures suddenly appear in front of them, like arrows from the string, across the alley, running straight to the east.

Liu Xiu and the others were stunned at first, and then said in unison: "It's an assassin!" As he spoke, the crowd chased forward with all their might.

Feng Yi asked, "Do you want to call the cavalry?" ”

Gai Yan opened his mouth and was about to shout at the top of his voice, when Liu Yan pulled his arm and said, "The cavalry is here, and we have no credit!" ”

Feng Yizheng said: "The skills of these assassins are not simple, just a few of us, I'm afraid we may not be able to capture them!" ”

Liu Xuan said: "If we can capture them, it means that it is our luck, if we fail to capture them, we have nothing to lose, why take it too seriously if we do things for Lian Dan?" After speaking, he deliberately took a deep look at Feng Yi and Gai Yan.

Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, Zhang Ping, Zhu Yun, Li Tong, Li Yi and others around him are either cronies, or they are all tested and trustworthy, only Feng Yi and Gai Yan are considered 'outsiders'.

When he said this, he was also testing whether these two people were trustworthy.

Liu Xiu had a life-saving grace for Gai Yan, since he returned to the county town from Qianyou Mountain, Gai Yan was punished by Wang Xun and dismissed from his official position, and he has been following Liu Xiu since then, inseparable from him, and the friendship between the two has become deeper and deeper.

Hearing Liu Xuan's words, Gai Yan pondered for a moment, nodded his head, and felt that Liu Xuan's words were reasonable, Lian Dan's handling of things was unfair, which was chilling, why should he do his best for such a person?

Feng Yi was expressionless, he neither agreed nor objected to Liu Xuan's words, and of course, he did not shout loudly to attract the cavalry to their side.

The crowd listened to Liu Xuan's advice and did not call the cavalry, but only a dozen of them went after the three assassins.

They gave close pursuit, and soon, the three Assassins running ahead also noticed them.

The three Assassins who were speeding forward suddenly turned around, each with a crossbow in their hands.

Liu Xiu's eyes were very sharp, and when he saw the other party bringing out the crossbow machine, he shouted: "Be careful of the crossbow arrows!" As he spoke, he ducked to the side. The rest of the crowd was not slow to react, and they all avoided to both sides.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Three bolts flew over everyone's heads, and they could clearly feel a strong wind blowing over their heads.

Liu Xuan subconsciously touched the top of his head, and secretly said that it was dangerous, he took a deep breath and continued to chase forward.

Ahead is another crossroads.

The three assassins suddenly dispersed, each running into an intersection.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu was about to speak, but Liu Xiu preemptively said: "Uncle Zhong, Juqing, you two will follow me to chase the one in front of you!" Big brother, I'll leave the other two to you! ”

Long Yuan and Gai Yan both agreed.

Liu Xiu didn't worry about Liu Xiu, but there was no time to argue at this time. He took Zhang Ping and Zhu Yun to chase the assassin on the left, and Feng Yi took Li Tong, Li Yi and others to chase the assassin on the right.

Let's talk about Liu Xiu, he took Long Yuan and Gai Yan and ran all the way forward, getting closer and closer to the assassin in front of him.

Now, even Long Yuan was taken aback by Liu Xiu's foot strength, he had already used all his strength, but Liu Xiu still ran in front of him, and the distance from him was always about two meters.

What shocked him even more was that he was powerless to speak at this time, but Liu Xiu was very relaxed, and still had the strength to shout to the assassin who was running wildly in front of him: "If you are a barbarian, you should accept your fate, this time you are already unable to fly, if you are not a barbarian, we still have to discuss!" ”

Obviously, Liu Xiu did not exert all his strength at this time.

Although Shibei was impressed for three days, Liu Xiu only disappeared in Qianyou Mountain for four days, and in just four days, people can make such earth-shaking changes? It's incredible!

Long Yuan was puzzled.

The assassin who was fleeing in front of him replied to Liu Xiu with a crossbow that turned around.

Sou! The speed of the crossbow arrow was too fast, and it flew in front of Liu Xiu in an instant. Since the other party was running, the crossbow arrow had no target at all, and even if Liu Xiu didn't dodge, this arrow would not be able to hit him.

However, Liu Xiu was like trying to test the power of crossbow arrows. When the bolt was about to pass him, he struck like lightning and grabbed the bolt with one hand.

At that moment, Liu Xiu felt that what he was grasping was not like a crossbow arrow, but like a crazy bull.

His running figure involuntarily took two steps backwards, and then sat down on the ground.

But look at his hand again, he is clutching a crossbow arrow. Not to mention that Long Yuan and Gai Yan were stunned at this scene, even the eyes of the assassin who shot the crossbow arrow flashed with horror.

In such a close situation, the power of the crossbow arrow can shoot through the car board one and a half inches and a half (three centimeters), and Liu Xiu actually grabbed the crossbow arrow with his bare hands, how fast does it take to see and react, and how much hand strength does it take?

The Assassin saw that he ran faster. Long Yuan and Gai Yan hurriedly approached Liu Xiu, stretched out their hands to pull him up from the ground, and asked in unison, "Uncle Wen, are you okay?" ”

Liu Xiu opened his hand and threw away the crossbow arrow, leaving two red marks in his white palm, burning pain. He rubbed his palms disappreciatively, smiled at Long Yuan and Gai Yan, and said, "I'm fine, keep chasing!" ”

Long Yuan and Gai Yan glanced at each other and continued to run forward with Liu Xiu.

Gai Yan has only known Liu Xiu for a few days, and he doesn't know what his previous strength was, anyway, when he first met Liu Xiu, the latter was already very powerful, and now, he admires Liu Xiu even more.

And Long Yuan was grinning secretly, he felt that the lord's current strength was probably above him. Of course, this is a good thing, he just doesn't understand why the lord has changed so much.

The Assassin was light and fast, and gradually, Gayan could no longer keep up with them, and was left far behind.

Long Yuan exerted his strength to eat, but he only kept the speed of the assassin on par, and the only one who could close the distance between the two sides was Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu really exerted all his strength at this time, and his body was like a whirlwind, blowing straight towards the assassin in front of him.

Without looking back, just listening to the voice, the Assassin could tell that the pursuers behind him were quickly following him.

The assassin's figure paused slightly as he ran forward, and then he turned to hold his crossbow and aimed it at Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu secretly said that it was not good, and his body slid out incredibly. However, the opponent's crossbow machine did not shoot crossbow arrows, he waved his arm outward, threw the crossbow machine out, and smashed it directly at Liu Xiu.

With such a fast rate of fire of the crossbow arrow, Liu Xiu can still catch it, let alone the crossbow machine that smashed over? He stood on his feet, and with a slight lift of his hand, he easily caught the crossbow that the Assassin had smashed.

He subconsciously glanced down, and the body of the crossbow machine was engraved with the words 'Zhong Yuan Ershi'. Zhong Yuan is the name of the craftsman who made the crossbow machine, and the second stone is to explain the specifications of the crossbow.
