1. "Enemy attack!" With the guards outside shouting, Li Xiu in the carriage reacted, looking at the long arrow in front of him was also scared into a cold sweat, and then he closed the window of the carriage, and hid in the corner of the carriage, after all, it is too dark now, the enemy is dark and they are in the light, and their target must be themselves, if they get out of the carriage now, they will definitely attract more bows and arrows.

The guards outside also reacted quickly, and when the first long arrow came over, they had already reacted, shouting to protect Li Xiu's carriage, but there was obviously more than one person in this sneak attack, and they had a precise plan, with a whistling, and then countless feathered arrows rushed out like locusts in the darkness.

Li Xiu's guards are all old men of the Women's Army, with great advantages and experience, and the equipment on them is also extremely sophisticated, but even so, in this kind of enemy dark and clear situation, it is still inevitable to suffer casualties, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were shot off their horses, and most of the rest were injured.

Li Xiu didn't expect that there would be so many people who ambushed him this time, and through the gap in the car window, he saw the guards around him fall one by one, and he felt that his heart was also dripping blood, but then he calmed down and calculated the time when he came out, and found that it was still far from the gate of Chang'an.

In fact, the ambush location chosen by these ambushers was very clever, just at the halfway point between Li Xiu's house and Chang'an City, so that no matter which way they fled, it would be difficult for them to insist on finding reinforcements.

"Damn!" After discovering the above problem, Li Xiu couldn't help but pat the carriage angrily, if they were closer to the city gate, they could rush forward with all their might, there were a large number of defenders at the city gate, and the people who assassinated themselves naturally did not dare to approach, if they were closer to home, as long as the family heard the movement, Princess Pingyang would definitely send someone to the rescue.

But now he doesn't rely on either end, and the people who ambushed him are attacking urgently, and the guards outside can't stop him for a long time, and this is thanks to Princess Pingyang letting him bring more guards, otherwise he may have become someone else's knife now.

"Retreat to Wuzhizhuang!" But at this moment, he suddenly heard the head of the guards outside shouting, which made Li Xiu suddenly wake up, this is not far from Wuzhizhuang, and Wuzhizhuang is originally the territory of veterans of the Women's Army, as long as he gets there, he will be safe!

With the shouting of the head of the guards, the guards also immediately turned their horses' heads, and the carriage protecting Li Xiu galloped in the direction of Wuzhizhuang, which was on the edge of the Yellow Canal, about a few miles away from here, and usually rode horses almost instantaneously.

However, as soon as Li Xiu and the others moved, the people who were ambushed seemed to understand their intentions, and they stopped firing arrows at the moment, and two teams of black-clothed men killed from both sides of the road, apparently trying to block Li Xiu and them on the official road.

Just now, because it was too dark, and the ambushed people only released arrows, which made the guards around Li Xiu also suffer a big loss, because they couldn't find anyone if they wanted to fight back, not to mention how aggrieved they were, but now they saw the ambush people killed, and now they finally found a place to vent, they were all veterans of the women's army back then, even if they didn't go to the battlefield for several years, but the courage they honed back then was still there, and at the moment, under the command of the head of the guard, they immediately divided a team of people to meet them.

As soon as the guards and the men in black came into contact, the blood and stumps flew over, and the screams were even more connected, don't look at the large number of these black-clothed people, but they obviously did not know how to pass through the military formation, even if some of the black-clothed people were strong in martial arts, but they did not know how to cooperate, and they were killed by the guards, after all, these guards were killed from the dead on the battlefield, and they were very familiar with each other, and the cooperation between the teams was like a monster with many hands and feet.

However, although the guards had the upper hand at the beginning, the number of men in black was too much, not only in front and on both sides, but also in the back, so the guards did not dare to fight, and after several horses rushed out of the road, Li Xiu's carriage also followed, and several guards simply jumped on Li Xiu's carriage to prevent the men in black from approaching.

Li Xiu's guards fled all the way, but the man in black behind was in hot pursuit, and from time to time he would release cold arrows, which led to the constant death and injury of the guards, although Li Xiu saw this situation, although he gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was no way, after all, he was not a general, he really fought with others with a knife, I am afraid that any man in black can kill him.

Fortunately, they were only a few miles away from Wuzhizhuang, and the guards killed and retreated, although many people fell on the road, but finally succeeded in coming to the mouth of Wuzhizhuang, which is composed of five long strips of Zhuangzi that look like five fingers.

Most of the middle-aged men in the five Zhuangzi are organized, forming a caravan to and from all over the Tang Dynasty, although the business is very hard, but the income is very rich, so the five fingers Zhuang is the richest few Zhuangzi around, so the Zhuangzi is not only beautiful houses, the road is also very wide, and even the five Zhuangzi are also a shared huge square, here is mainly for the five Zhuangzi to perform martial arts, after all, the Zhuangzi are all from the army, and usually the business also needs to use force to protect their own safety, so the five Zhuangzi are also strong in martial arts, There are often children of all sizes in the square who are urged by several instructors to practice martial arts.

But it was already the second half of the night, and Zhuangzi was naturally empty in the square, but when Li Xiu's carriage rushed into the square, the man in black behind also chased after him, and immediately surrounded Li Xiu's carriage, and the guards also protected the carriage in the middle, desperately fighting with the man in black.

Although he was under siege, Li Xiu settled down, because the sound of slashing and killing here had alarmed Zhuangzi, and several households near the square had been lit up, and even Li Xiu saw that Xiang Shanzhi's home was also lit up, Xiang Shanzhi was the head of five Zhuangzi, and the house was built on the side of the square, and he used to follow the caravan to go to business, but in the past few years, when he was older, he stayed at home and taught the children in Zhuangzi martial arts.

"Help my brother for his life!" Li Xiu shouted in the direction of Zhuangzi at the moment, although the people in Zhuangzi were alarmed, but generally encountered this situation of unknown things, Zhuangzi must be very cautious, after all, it is so dark, and there are people fighting outside, and the general timid people are afraid that they will not dare to go out at all, although Wuzhizhuang is from the army, but there is no need to fight for strangers, so it is necessary to let the people in Zhuangzi know that they are coming.

However, because the sound of the fight outside the carriage was too loud, although Li Xiu tried his best to shout, he didn't know if he could hear it in Zhuangzi, and those men in black heard Li Xiu's call for help, and they also began to work hard under the command of some people, after all, they paid such a big price, and they had to complete the task no matter what, but for a while, the pressure on Li Xiu's side doubled, and more and more guards fell, and the situation became more and more critical!
