Chapter 221: Run, Two Princesses
These black-clad assassins obviously had accurate information, so this ambush was very purposeful, and the first round of arrow attacks basically killed the guards who protected the two princesses.
The two princesses who were panicked, under the protection of seven or eight guards and eunuchs and maids, hurriedly fled into the nearest Lanting Restaurant, which made Li Nan, who was standing in front of the window watching the battle, cry out badly.
Sure enough, since this group of assassins dared to openly attack the capital of Dali, they had an imperative attitude and would definitely not leave.
After the second wave of arrows was fired, the guards and hapless passers-by in the streets were shot down, and about fifty masked black-clad assassins jumped from the buildings on either side, drew their swords, and rushed into the restaurant through the doors and windows.
When Li Nan came to Dali this time, he did not carry a deadly throat gun that was easy to expose his identity, but only a pistol and a dagger tied to his leg for self-defense. In fact, it is not difficult for him to kill all these assassins, but if he does do it, it is very likely that his identity will be exposed.
The Dali officials who were still discussing Duan Zhengchun just now were all scared half to death at this time, and the fat guy directly knelt on the ground with weak knees and begged for mercy: "The princess is over there, please don't kill... Uh......"
Just as Li Nan was thinking about countermeasures, the shouts for help in the restaurant, the sound of swords entering flesh and the screams of dying were mixed together, and those assassins mercilessly killed the customers, runners and shopkeepers in the store.
A black-clothed masked assassin looked fierce, brandished a knife and slashed at Li Nan's head, Li Nan didn't want to expose the fact that he knew martial arts, so he pretended to be embarrassed and picked up two plates of steaming dishes from the table and smashed them directly.
The assassin reacted quickly, swinging his knife and smashing the two plates accurately, but he forgot that there were vegetables on the plate, and his knife skills did not reach the point of splashing water, and the hot soup and oil on the plate were sprinkled directly on his head.
While the assassin covered his face and screamed in pain, Li Nan ran to the wooden door leading to the back kitchen and shouted at the two princesses, "If you want to run for your life, follow me!" ”
The older princess in the blue dress was quite calm, glanced at the remaining guards and eunuch maids who were desperately blocking in front of her sister, decisively grabbed her sister's little hand, and ran in the direction of Li Nan.
The two of them were the main targets of the assassins this time, and when they ran away, the leader of the assassins cut off the arm of the maid who was hugging his thigh, and ordered in a deep voice: "Half of them go to the store to outflank them, and the others will chase after me, and I must catch the princess today!" ”
When the Assassins heard the order, they immediately split into two groups, except for the dozens of people who ran outside the store to prepare to outflank them, and the others followed the leader to the back kitchen after they had dealt with the people who blocked them.
The leader of the assassins had just run into the back kitchen, when he suddenly felt something strange under his feet, and quickly stopped and squatted to touch it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"Come back!"
Although the Assassin leader shouted quickly, a flame that scurried against the ground was even more violent, directly drowning the Assassins who rushed into the kitchen.
The ground that was splashed with a lot of grease burned very quickly, and all the Assassins who stepped into the kitchen had flames on their legs and feet, and the Assassin leader, who quickly exited the kitchen, quickly pulled several Assassins out of the flames, but those Assassins who were too deep could not be saved, and they all wailed in the flames.
After extinguishing the fire on the rescued people, the leader of the assassins looked at the burning kitchen and shouted angrily: "Dare to kill my brother, I swear I will not let you go!" ”
Soon after, when the defenders of the capital city of Dali came to the restaurant, this beautiful building with an all-wood structure had already ignited a raging fire.
After inspecting all the corpses, the general who led the team commanded the soldiers with a face as white as earth: "Seal the city gate immediately, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the others will search the whole city, and if they can't find the princess, everyone will die!" ”
Not to mention this unlucky general who was about to face the wrath of Emperor Gao Shengtai, Li Nan's current situation is not good.
Because he burned dozens of assassins to death with oil from the kitchen of the restaurant, which completely angered these guys, and the leader of the assassins who was killed under his command angrily pursued the rest of the people.
These assassins were extremely ferocious, and the failure of their plan made them vent their anger on the innocent people, and when they chased and killed Li Nan and the two princesses, many passers-by were killed by them.
Hearing the screams from time to time behind him, Li Nan wanted to pull out his gun and kill them several times, but thinking that after he came to Dali, the matter had not been done, so he had to temporarily hold back the killing intent in his heart and continue to run away with the two princesses.
Not long after running, the little princess in the yellow dress suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.
The slightly older princess in the blue dress hurriedly came to her sister's side, squatted down and asked with concern, "Fleur, how are you?" ”
Li Nan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the hem of the yellow silk skirt on the little princess had been infected with blood, he knew that her knee should have been injured, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.
Seeing Li Nan's actions, the little princess, who already knew that there was a difference between men and women, suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly writhed and struggled, and said angrily: "What are you doing, let go of me!" ”
Seeing the assassins chasing closer and closer, Li Nan reprimanded, "What are you going to do with letting you go?" Do you want to be in the company of those assassins who kill without blinking? ”
Thinking of the murderous appearance of those assassins who had just killed their close maids, tears appeared in the little princess's beautiful eyes, and she was immediately too frightened to speak anymore, Li Nan hurriedly hugged her and ran quickly.
The eldest princess in the blue dress was not bad, and while she ran with Li Nan, she suggested: "Let's not flee to such a remote place, we should go to the city gate or the palace, where my Dali soldiers are stationed, and they can save us." ”
"Huh." Listening to the words of the eldest princess, Li Nan laughed faintly.
This kind of disdainful smile made the eldest princess extremely unhappy, and she asked dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter, am I not right?" ”
Li Nan looked at her sideways and said, "You're right, but do you guess these assassins would have thought of this?" Do you think they will set up an ambush on the road to the city gate and the palace? ”
"Uh......"
The eldest princess in the blue dress was speechless when asked by Li Nan, although she was proud and didn't want to admit it, but she knew in her heart that what Li Nan said seemed to have some truth.
After a few minutes of running for her life, Celestia's breathing became rapid and her pace slowed, and it seemed that she had reached the limit of her physical strength.
Sighing secretly, Li Nan slowed down, stood in front of her, and said very quickly: "Climb on my back." ”
At this moment, facing life and death, the eldest princess gave up the difference between men and women, but she asked with some worry: "You have been running away with Hibiscus for so long, if you carry me again, can you still do it?" ”
Li Nan turned around and squatted slightly and said, "A man must not say no, don't be wordy, come up quickly!" ”
