Chapter 113 Inexplicable Assassination

As soon as it was dawn, Yun Lang's carriage left Chang'an City.

Today, it is rare that there is no fog, and before the sun comes out, the earth is bright and cheerful.

Yun Lang has been coming to Chang'an more frequently recently, and he knows that Liu Che doesn't treat him very well, so he will only stay for a short time, and leave quickly when things are done, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Cao's servant stood not far from the city gate, and when he saw Yunlang's carriage coming, he handed a bamboo pipe to the guard.

Yun Lang took the bamboo pipe and opened it, glanced at it, and with a chuckle, threw the note into the stove in the carriage and lit it.

Huo Guang wanted to know what was written on the note, but Yun Lang didn't allow him to read it, nor did he give him a chance to read it.

However, judging from the master's lewd smile, the content may be undignified.

Cao Xin was very well-behaved, occupying half of the carriage alone, and slept soundly surrounded by fox fur.

Waking up early is still tough for the seven-year-old.

This made Huo Guang very envious, his habit of sleeping lazily was brought over by He Chou You since he entered the Yun Clan, and he believed that Cao Xin would also follow his old path.

On a morning without fog, dry and cold, just look at the hoarfrost on the beards of the wolves, and you can see that the outside of the carriage is definitely not a place that can make people feel refreshed.

The horses of the trailer were already moving, their thick nostrils spewing out white mist, and the smoke was like that of a beast of prey.

The newly opened road straightens the curve, so it only takes three hours to get from Chang'an to Shanglinyuan.

Unlike before, it took two days to walk to Yanglingyi.

The road was built by the county magistrate of Fugui County, and the specifications and construction methods of the road were made by the Yun family, and as for the money, it naturally came from the Changmen Palace.

A straight road connects Shanglin Yuan with Yanglingyi and Chang'an into a line, and if the horse gallops, the time can be shortened a lot.

Yun's carriage has always been known for its sturdiness and comfort, and on such a sparsely pedestrian morning, it is natural to run with all your might.

Cao Xinre kicked the fox fur away, Huo Guang hugged the warm child, wrapped the fox fur again, and he was also ready to sleep for a while.

Yun Lang's legs naturally became the pillow for these two guys, and it was an impossible task to lean his head on the carriage, because the bumpy carriage would crush his head.

So, Yun Lang had no choice but to keep his head down and take a nap.

"Appeal ......"

The coachman pulled the reins tightly, and the front hooves of the two cart-pulling horses soared into the air, kicking twice in the air before stopping.

Yun Lang's face hurt when he hit the carriage in front of him, and the two children were also woken up by the violent impact.

"What happened?"

Yun Lang asked angrily.

Chu Wolf's face full of ice and snow slag appeared next to the car window, and said softly: "There are fallen corpses on the road ahead." ”

"Go check it out...... Be careful. ”

Chu Wolf nodded, and left the carriage, and the first two guards rode cautiously to the corpse.

With just one glance, one of the guards shouted, "Enemy attack! ”

They were all battle-hardened warriors, shouting in their mouths, and the long knives in their hands had been stabbed fiercely.

Chu Wolf immediately shouted: "The carriage goes first"

He gave the horse pulling the cart a whip, and the rider let go of the reins, and the horse that pulled the cart neighed and sprang forward.

Before the long knife in the guard's hand could reach the Assassin disguised as a corpse, the Assassin swung away with a short knife, and the guard staggered back with a kick in the lower abdomen, while the carriage had already run over.

The Assassin screamed and managed to avoid the carriage, only to have his throat slit by a knife protruding from the carriage.

The rest of the assassins had already jumped up, brandished their knives and went straight to the carriage, but they were stopped by Chu Wolf and other guards, and fought on the official road.

Yun Lang put away his short sword, listened attentively, and did not hear the sound of crossbow arrows or feather arrows breaking through the air, so he quickly ordered the pilot: "Turn back!" ”

Hearing this, the driver turned the horse's head on the wide road, and according to Yun Lang's instructions, he rushed towards the scene of the fight again.

Huo Guang settled down and Cao Xin said to his master: "Shouldn't we run away?" ”

Yun Lang sneered: "The person who dares to snipe us, do you think it will be an incompetent person?" This group of people entangled Chu Wolf and them, if there were still people in front of them who used crossbow arrows and feather arrows to snipe and kill the horses, would the three of us master and apprentice still be able to run? ”

Huo Guang nodded and said, "Then kill these people with Chu Wolf first, and then go back to Chang'an." ”

Cao Xin excitedly saw the master and brother pull out two short crossbows from the wall of the carriage box, and wanted to run out of the corner to help, but Huo Guang stepped on him with his foot and couldn't move.

The rider sitting on the left side of the carriage let go of the baffle, and the vision in front of Yun Lang was very wide.

The carriage rushed by, and a bearded man screamed miserably, and was pierced through the head by a crossbow arrow.

The man who was entangled with the wolf couldn't dodge, and was trampled by the horse, and then ran over by the iron wheels of Yun's carriage, looking miserable.

When the carriage turned around again, a whistle sounded from behind the hills beside the road, and the assassins who continued to guard the fierce battle retreated.

Yun Lang also shouted, not allowing Chu Wolf and the others to pursue.

When Chu Wolf and the other guards re-surrounded the carriage, Yun Lang asked, "Have you seen who it is?" ”

"The Huns."

Yun Lang nodded, and asked again, "Have the people who sent the arraiser ever sent out?"

Chu Wolf shook his head and said, "It's too sudden." ”

Yun Lang sighed and said to Huo Guang: "That's why you let the dog accompany you to Shuzhong."

Chu Wolf's heart is as careful as a hair, after all, he has never been on the battlefield, and his ability to respond to emergencies is insufficient.

Do you see how many mistakes he made in total? ”

Huo Guang said anxiously: "You should go back to Chang'an immediately, shouldn't you teach me to fight here?" ”

Yun Lang smiled: "Fortunately, the assassin is also a layman, so I have time to teach you." ”

Chu Wolf's face turned red, and he knelt on one knee without saying a word.

Yun Lang glanced at Chu Wolf and said, "If I want to snipe someone, I will definitely do my best at this one point."

First use crossbow arrows to get rid of the horses and war horses that can make the people in the carriage leave quickly, and then use crossbow arrows to shoot as much living force as possible, after three rounds of crossbow arrows, it is time for the Assassins to send out the empty group, and finally succeed. ”

Huo Guangdao: "It's not difficult to think of it, why don't they do this? ”

Yun Lang smiled: "Because they don't have crossbow arrows!" Not even a bow and arrow! The stumbling horse can only hurt the leading knight, and it is better to fall to the ground and pretend to be a corpse to suddenly burst out and hurt people. ”

Huo Guang sneered: "In this way, the scope of searching for the murderer is not large. ”

Yun Lang said to Chu Wolf, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Don't let the person you protect leave your side easily in the future."

As guards, you are the most solid support for the people you want to protect, and you must not leave until the mountains and rivers are exhausted. ”

Chu Wolf stood up ashamedly and hung his head speechless.

Yun Lang smiled and patted Chu Wolf's shoulder and said: "Don't be discouraged, knowledge is summed up from experience little by little, your brain is relatively dead, not as flexible as a dog, then just do your job, don't covet those who don't." ”

Chu Wolf clasped his fists again and saluted, and stood on the side of the carriage, and it seemed that he would not leave the carriage anyway.

Yun Lang checked the six guards he had brought, and found that only one was slightly injured, and the rest seemed to be fine, so he ordered the rider to turn the horse's head again and walk towards Chang'an.

"There shouldn't be any assassins up ahead, right?"

"Do we all need to find Cao Xiang to ask for more guards before going home, this is foolproof."

When Yun Lang appeared in Cao's living room, Cao Xiang was yawning and suffering.

It can be seen that Yun Lang's arrival has seriously disturbed his sleep.

"You know what I found last night?"

As soon as Yun Lang appeared, Cao Xiang immediately became energetic.

Yun Lang sat on the chair and frowned: "You said that you sent it, I really want to know what kind of hair you have!" ”

Cao Xiang looked up to the sky and laughed, and only stopped whispering after a long time: "This time is not enough for outsiders!" ”

Yun Lang looked at Cao Xiang like a fool for a long time, and then Cao Xiang stopped laughing and asked, "Why are you back again?" ”

Yun Lang took a sip of tea and saw that Cao Xiang still looked good, so he said softly: "We were assassinated on the way." ”

"What?" Cao Xiang bounced up from the chair in a spring, grabbed Yun Lang and shouted, "Where is my son? ”

Yun Lang sneered: "I thought you were immersed in the gentle township and couldn't extricate yourself, it turns out that you still know that you have a son?" ”
