Chapter 344: Change (Medium)
"W-poof!" The cold light went straight into the position where Lu Jinshi was standing, and everyone saw clearly that this was actually a flying knife about a foot or so.
After only a moment's hesitation, everyone suddenly came back to their senses: "There are assassins, protect your lord!" As he spoke, those brocade-clothed guards had drawn their knives in their hands and quickly gathered around Yu Qian, their eyes looking around vigilantly, looking for the location of the assassin who had suddenly attacked.
Lu Jin's heart was even more chilling, and a cold sweat oozed from his back. If it weren't for the timely rescue of Qinggel beside him, I am afraid that he would have died under this knife. I didn't expect these guys to have a back, not only did there be assassins in the water, but even people were laid down on this shore.
Just when everyone was putting on a defensive posture, more than a dozen or twenty black shadows suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of them, all of them holding long swords in their hands, and they didn't speak, they directly swung their weapons and pounced on them.
"What a bold man, he dared to assassinate the court officials!" Seeing that there were indeed assassins coming over, Zhong Baihu laughed angrily, immediately raised his left hand, and shouted, "Where are the crossbowmen?" ”
At his command, several of the brocade guards had already half-crouched down, showed the crossbow that had been carrying their backs, and aimed steadily at the approaching assassins.
Without any hesitation, Zhong Baihu looked at the enemy and gave the order to attack: "Release the arrow!" ”
These brocade guards actually held their stomachs of anger today, and they suffered a big loss in the hands of Dongchang before, but they had nowhere to vent. Now that someone has sent them to the door to let them vent, they will naturally not let it go.
So, with their anger and the sound of the wind, the arrows flew straight out and shot at the target in front of them. And these guys are not weak, in the face of these oncoming arrows, suddenly their bodies fell down, and half of the arrows fell into the air.
However, the speed of the arrows fired from the crossbow machine was still too fast, and they could not completely dodge this fatal attack after all, and four or five people were immediately knocked down by the arrows. But even so, the person who was hit by the arrow didn't say a word, and the others continued to pounce without fear, quickly closing the distance between the two sides.
"Formation!" Seeing this, even Zhong Baihu was also stunned in his heart, and it was the first time he had encountered such a fierce enemy. Fortunately, he still had some insight, and immediately gave the order, commanding his men to form a semicircle to block the momentum of the enemy's attack, while several crossbowmen continued to fire arrows forward, and shot down two or three more enemies.
In the blink of an eye, these black-clothed men had already pounced in front of everyone, and the swords in their hands quickly slashed over, and they officially exchanged hands with several brocade guards in front of them.
In this head-to-head confrontation, Jinyiwei ate the portion. Although the opponent was still inferior in numbers, its ferocious attack could quickly make up for the lack of troops, and with just one face, it had already killed and injured a dozen brocade guards in front of them, and the entire team was actually forced to retreat a distance in order to widen the distance between them and the enemy.
Lu Zhen was in the middle of the team, and he was also surprised. He had also seen the strength of these brocade guards before, although they were not too strong, but they could easily defeat a group of Dongchang fans, how could they meet this group of guys but they were not opponents at all?
However, at this time, he didn't care to delve into the reason, so Lu Zhen immediately gave Qinggele a look and motioned for the other party to come forward to help. After Qingle nodded, he hurriedly rushed forward, and the knife just helped a brocade guard in front of him to block this fatal knife, and at the same time, he kicked a man in black who was staggered back because he was blocked with all his strength.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qinggel buried himself again, and with a flash of his knife, he slashed into the waist and crotch of a man in black who had not yet reacted, and slashed him to the ground with serious injuries and blood.
With Qinggele, a fierce general who is good at head-to-head confrontation, to help him in front, Jinyiwei's situation is slightly better. But then, some of those black-clothed people suddenly opened their hands and shot out several cold rays, and immediately several brocade-clothed guards were injured by knives, and the situation changed again.
Originally, these brocade guards were on the side of passive defense, but now they have to be distracted to guard against the opponent's flying knife sneak attack, and their hands and feet are naturally half a beat slower, which makes their situation bad again. After only a while, a few more people were hit, and even the semi-circular formation revealed a gap.
When the gap appeared, the person who took the lead in swinging the flying knife shouted violently, and the knife light in his hand flashed, and he directly slashed the two brocade guards in front of him and flew out, and then he no longer pursued, but with a bow on his body and a flick of his feet, the whole person flew straight to the middle of the formation like an arrow. Obviously, his target is Yu Qian and Lu Jin, who are now surrounded in the middle.
"Not good!" Although Qingle was in front of the enemy, he still saw the six directions, and as soon as the opponent swept away, he knew his intentions. I quickly wanted to turn around and rush to help.
But at this moment, the two black-clothed men who had been overwhelmed by him shouted at the same time, completely disregarding their own safety and attacking with all their might, but they were in a desperate posture of death and no life. Once Qingle retreated, he was afraid that he would be injured under the ferocious attack of these two people, let alone rescue, and even his own safety might not be guaranteed.
Knowing this, Qingler could only sigh secretly, slammed as he retreated, and then swung his knife again, and the flash of the knife had quickly slashed through the chests of the two enemies. The two black-clothed men who desperately obstructed only let out a scream, and then they fell to the ground with a bang, only to breathe out but not to breathe.
But with this delay, the man in black who attacked the formation had succeeded, and quickly penetrated the defense line in front of him, reaching Lu Zhen and them. Even Lu Zhen could see a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The surrounding brocade guards hurriedly wanted to come to the rescue, but they were all a step too late, and they could only let out an exclamation. The only thing Lu Zhen could do was to stand up suddenly, and resolutely stand in front of Yu Qian - he could die here, but Yu Qian must not have anything to do!
Yu Qian didn't expect Lu Zhen to make such a choice at this time, and he was stunned. When he wanted to make the same action again, he was already a step too late, so he could only sigh and secretly said in his heart: "Lu Shansi, why are you so troubled?" ”
Lu Jin's eyes widened, his fists clenched, and he pinned his last bit of hope on the ability that he hadn't triggered for a long time. I just want to make everything pause, and then have a chance to fight back.
But in the end, he was disappointed again. Ever since the capital struck the drum, he seemed to have lost the last of his self-preservation skills. Whether it was when he was fighting against the Japanese on the banks of the Qiantang River, or now in the face of the attack of the assassins, he could not cast his abilities as smoothly as before, and could only watch as the enemy pounced, and the strong wind brought by the steel knife that slashed at him fell on his face first.
"Your Excellency!" Qinggel solved the two enemies, and it was a turn, but what caught his eyes was Lu Jin's posture of standing still in the face of the enemy's steel knife, which made him feel horrified, and a sharp cry came out of his mouth. At the same time, he didn't care too much, and as soon as he raised his hand, he threw the knife in his palm violently, grabbing the man's back, and then his body also quickly rushed straight up.
Although it seemed that it was already too late because of the distance, Qingler still wanted to try again.
The man heard the sound of the wind, and the knife that had been slashed in front of Lu Zhen suddenly stopped, and then slammed it back at a strange angle, hitting the knife thrown by Qinggele, and sending it high. But his movements did not stop because of this, and with a flick of his wrist, he swept across again, slashing towards Lu Jin's neck, and his speed did not slow down at all.
And Lu Jin, this time, closed his eyes gently. Now, all struggles are in vain, the other party is much faster than himself, and the only thing he can do is to wait for death to come!
It's a pity that his ambitions will be wiped out because of this......
@@@@@
Standing on the upper floor of Bifu Garden, looking from afar, you can already find that the fire at the canal wharf has gradually become much smaller.
Seeing this, Yan Yuqi's complexion changed several times, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, let alone what the outcome of today's matter would be. The two brothers seemed to have the same heart, and after hesitating for a while, Yan Yulin couldn't help but say, "Big brother, did you say that you would succeed this time?" ”
Before Yan Yuqi could speak, Xu Qinglian had already taken the first step to laugh: "There are already our people on land and water, unless he Yu Qian can go to heaven, he will inevitably die." ”
"You...... Do you have men on land as well? Yan Yuqi couldn't help but ask.
"Young Master Yan, you don't think that our Holy Church has pinned everything on you, do you? The attack on the water seemed to be invulnerable, but as long as someone moved fast enough, they could still save Yu Qian ashore. But I have already arranged it, and if they are the slightest negligent when they go ashore, the fate is already doomed! Xu Qinglian smiled proudly, and then exhaled again: "Now, just wait for them to send back the news of their success." ”
Yan Yuqi lowered his head. By now, he has been completely coerced by these guys from the White Lotus Sect, even if today's matter is not finally found out by the government, I am afraid that the situation in the future will be very bad. It's a pity that the strength of this guy in front of him is too terrifying, so he can't resist at all, so he can only be at his mercy.
Yan Yulin, however, was obviously more excited: "What about Lu Jin?" I heard that he is also on the dock today, can you help me get rid of him? ”
"There's no need to rush this. Once Yu Qian dies here, Lu Zhen will be implicated, and it will not be easy to get rid of him at that time? Xu Qinglian smiled confidently, as if she had been able to see Lu Jin's corpse.
