Chapter 95: Assassination (3)
Because of Bai Xiaobai's appearance, it attracted everyone's attention. What's more, there is a very coquettish white horse.
Bai Xiaobai rode calmly towards the assassins, the assassins stopped fighting with the secret guards, and cautiously surrounded Bai Xiaobai, and the secret guards were completely confused about the situation.
"Captain, this white-clothed one looks like the one who spoke to His Highness just now." The Secret Guard whispered to the hated man.
"Well, let's wait and see what happens, and take the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, I look at this man on horseback, his face is indifferent, his breathing is gentle, and his strength should be good, otherwise he won't be confident enough to kill one person and one horse." The hat man squinted and said, and after speaking, he sat on the ground to recover his strength.
When the other guards saw their captain sit down, they all sat down on the ground, recovering and no longer pestering the Assassins.
By the time the guards were communicating, the Assassins had already completed the encirclement of Bai Xiaobai.
"Boom," the white horse barked casually, his eyes open, showing a look of human disdain, as the assassins with knives surrounded him.
"Yo" Bai Xiaobai said softly, and at the same time clamped the horse's belly under his crotch between his legs.
Understandingly, the white horse raised its two front hooves and stood there. The surrounding assassins were suddenly startled, and subconsciously took half a step back.
"Huh." Bai Xiaobai chuckled disdainfully. He stepped on the stirrups with both feet and jumped steadily from the horse's back to the ground.
As soon as Bai Xiaobai's feet made contact with the ground, his body did not pause, and he directly stepped on small steps quickly, rushing towards the assassin in front of him. In the process of rushing, Bai Xiaobai pulled out the sword at his waist, only to see a cold flash of light, the tip of the sword had cut the throat of an assassin, and the assassin's eyes were wide open, and he fell straight to the ground.
"Damn, master!" Jing Zetian, who saw this scene in the distance, couldn't help but say. At the same time, I felt that this time I should have no worries about my life.
The assassins all looked at Bai Xiaobai blankly, they didn't expect this guy to be so fast, and in one breath, he killed their companions, without even having a chance to react.
The assassins had learned a lesson, and instead of paying attention to their horses, they all picked up their knives together and attacked Bai Xiaobai.
Bai Xiaobai still looked calm, his body moved, and he raised his sword again and stabbed at the assassin closest to him. However, the assassin was on high alert and blocked the sword's attack with the blade, but it was still the residual strength from the tip of the sword that shocked him back a few steps. The Assassin was horrified, he didn't expect this young man to be so powerful.
Bai Xiaobai saw that the assassin was shocked and retreated, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and when the assassin had not stabilized his body, he continued to move his body and attacked, his wrist shook slightly, and the tip of the sword drew a beautiful arc.
As soon as the assassin died, the encirclement of the assassins opened a breakthrough, and Bai Xiaobai still maintained his original speed and continued to attack the other assassin closest to him.
The swiftness and agility of the sword were easily used by Bai Xiaobai, and although the assassins' knives were destructive, they could not keep up with Bai Xiaobai's rhythm and could not hit them.
The assassins glanced at each other and found that they couldn't beat Bai Xiaobai, and it had taken a long time to assassinate them this time, and it was estimated that the target's reinforcements were about to arrive, so the assassins looked at each other very tacitly, and gave each other a secret signal to retreat, ending the siege of Bai Xiaobai, and retreating towards the mountains and forests in a scattered manner.
Seeing that the assassins were about to escape, Bai Xiaobai snorted lightly, walked to the white horse, took the crossbow arrow tied to the saddle in his hand, and shot at the assassin without hurry.
"Whoosh! Sou! "Whoosh" Bai Xiaobai continuously loaded arrows and shot three crossbow arrows, which directly took the lives of the three assassins, but there were still six assassins who fled into the three forests, due to the obstruction of trees, Bai Xiaobai did not continue to shoot arrows and attack, allowing the assassins to escape.
"Whew!" After the battle, Bai Xiaobai exhaled softly.
Jing Zetian dragged his tired body, walked slowly to Bai Xiaobai's side, bent down and saluted and said: "Thank you for saving your life this time, I, Jing Zetian, owe you a great favor, if you need help in the future, just look for me." ”
"It's just a gesture, this is a favor for you, and the two of us don't owe each other." Bai Xiaobai said calmly.
Jing Zetian walked to the guards who were lying on the ground again, bent down and saluted again, and said, "Today, Jing Zetian, thank you for saving me, and I will thank you again in the future." ”
"The six princes don't have to be like this, we are all ordered by the emperor to protect His Royal Highness, and these are the duties of our secret guards." The hat man hurriedly got up and said.
In Dahua, these secret guards can't see the light on weekdays, they can only walk in the shadows, secretly monitoring, probing, and protecting the people designated by the emperor, and they are now protecting Jing Zetian, also out of duty.
"What is the name of the secret guard who died for me? Do you have loved ones at home? Is there any unfinished business? Jing Zetian pointed to the squirrel that died in front of him in order to save him, and asked the hat man.
"Your Highness, we call this secret guard a squirrel, and as for his identity, only the leader knows." The man in the hat said calmly, the training of their secret guards is very cruel, and they are used to seeing life and death in their daily tasks, and after the squirrel dies, another squirrel will soon replace him.
"Hey! All right. Jing Zetian sighed and said, although he felt guilty about this, but this is the way the times are, and he can't help it.
The sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
"Whew, reinforcements should have arrived." The hat-to-hat man said that until now, their secret guards still wore scarves around their faces.
"Sixth Prince, you should be safe, and I'll leave." Bai Xiaobai said, turned over on the horse at the same time, and without waiting for Jing Zetian to speak, he directly hit the horse and left.
"Your Highness, can you tell me who this man is? Just now, when we were secretly protecting His Highness, I saw that His Highness had spoken to him, and when the Emperor asked, I would report the situation. The hat man asked directly.
Jing Zetian's mind turned quickly, he understood the difficulties of the secret guards, anyway, if he didn't say it, they would definitely have to find a way to investigate, in this way, it might bring trouble to his imperial sister, after thinking about it, Jing Zetian said bluntly: "This person is Princess Qingquan's guard, when he saw me just now, he found that there was movement in the surrounding mountains and forests, so Princess Qingquan ordered him to rush up and check it, but I didn't expect something to happen, by the way, is the person found by this guard you?" Jing Zetian suddenly felt that the person Bai Xiaobai found should be a secret guard, but he just happened to catch up.
"Huh? This should be me, I didn't expect this person's perception to be so keen, I thought our secret guards were well hidden, but I didn't expect it to be discovered. The hat man said in frustration.
Jing Zetian sighed, fortunately you were discovered, otherwise he would have seen Lord Yama go today, fate is really a magical existence.
