The gray-clothed old man let out a low cry, gritted his teeth and reached out to catch it, and after a few rounds, his arm was cut again. He became more and more sure that the Assassin knew that he knew a lot about his moves, and his long narrow eyes were full of anger, and he shrieked, "Guy with a hidden head and a tail! No matter what your origins are, if you murder the person the emperor wants to see, no matter how big the world is, there is no place for you. He knew that he was no match for the Assassins, and he just wanted to delay for a moment and then hope that the guards and family members would come to help after they strangled the rest of the Assassins.

The opposite assassin held the dagger in his right hand, shook the blood from the dagger, and then raised his left hand and swung it vigorously. The assassin who entangled the others suddenly exerted his strength, and then screamed one after another, and after a while, the guards of the Spy Department and the Xia family fell to the ground, seeing that there was more air and less air in.

The old man in gray knew that he would not be spared today, so he shouted without looking back: "Protect the old man Xia Ge and go first, I will drag the assassin." With that, he pressed his body's acupoint to stop the bleeding chest, and then rushed towards the assassin.

However, the carriage remained quiet, and no one came out at all. It turned out that when he saw someone coming to assassinate him in broad daylight, the eunuch had already been so frightened that his legs were weak, and he couldn't stop trembling all over, and his mouth couldn't make any sound, like a fish in a puddle that was about to dry up.

Xia Guoyuan has experienced many assassinations in his life, and has faced several life and death crises, but he is very calm. He knew that now was the time to save himself, and when he saw that the eunuch was so unbearable, he whispered: "If you don't leave, the old man will take the first step." ”

After hearing this, the eunuch suddenly shook his head, reacted and said in a wailing voice: "Don't leave the minions behind. In the future, the slave will be a cow and a horse to repay the grace of the old man today. ”

"Let's go, then." Xia Guoyuan took the lead in lifting the curtain of the carriage and stepped out of the carriage, and hurriedly walked into the woods with the eunuch who followed closely behind. At this time, the fight between the old man in gray and the assassin also reached its most intense moment, both sides were covered in wounds, and the former was already crumbling and could not support it.

Xu Anping saw that it was actually an old man on the passenger ship with a servant into the woods, and knew that these assassins should be members of the Blood Hand Alliance. He turned around and saw that the old man in gray had shown his defeat, and he groaned in his heart and rescued him.

"Ahh Xia Guoyuan hadn't walked far in the woods with the eunuch of the decree, when he heard the screams of the gray-clothed old man behind him, so his pace sped up a few points. Thinking that the assassin would soon chase after him, Xia Guoyuan had a plan, and said as he walked: "This is not a way, the assassin will catch up soon." The old man is still separated from you, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. If you escape with your life, remember to go back and tell the emperor to avenge the old man. ”

The eunuch was so frightened that his thighs were still swinging, and he was so anxious that his tears were about to fall, and he said with a crying voice: "Old Ge, the slave doesn't know the way!" ”

Xia Guoyuan said in a hurried tone: "The old man doesn't know the road either, so let's go ahead separately." What is your name? ”

"The slave's name is Wang Chun'er, and the godmaster is the eunuch Hong An, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal."

"Good! I'll see you again. After speaking, Xia Guoyuan turned his head and walked hurried to the left, while Wang Chun'er stomped on the spot and gritted his teeth and ran to the right. After a while, Xia Guoyuan, who had disappeared just now, came back, and when he looked left and right, he tore off a small piece of cloth from the front of his clothes and threw it in the direction of Wang Chun'er, and then disappeared again.

Xu Anping, who had been following behind, was dumbfounded. The first feeling of the old man on the passenger ship was that he was extremely majestic, he thought that the old man should be a very decent person, because he offended the people and was chased and killed by the assassins of the Blood Hand Alliance, he didn't expect to see such a dark scene, it was really an eye-opener!

Sure enough, after a while, the skilled assassin chased after him, and when he saw the strip of cloth hanging from the thorns, he did not hesitate to chase after him. A quarter of an hour later, the Assassin realized that something was wrong, and he found strips of cloth on the vines on both sides, but the fabric and color were different from the previous ones, and then he felt that something was wrong, so he turned and ran in the other direction.

Xia Guoyuan, who had been walking briskly, was breathing more and more rapidly, even if his body was still healthy, after all, he had reached the age of ancient times, and now he was taking heavy steps completely with the desire to survive. Seeing the light in front of him, he knew that he was about to walk out of the woods, and his heart felt a burst of joy, as if he was about to escape. After going out, as long as he found someone to put on makeup and change clothes, the assassin could no longer find him, so he unconsciously sped up a little faster. Suddenly, he saw someone in front of him blocking his way, and his heart was in despair.

The assassin laughed like a night owl, "Old Xia Ge, you can't imagine it, this forest is wide in the east and narrow in the west, facing the river in the north and south, and there is only one way out. Today is the time for your death, so don't run away. No matter how smart you are, you can't resist the will of God. "Even though his body was full ......of wounds and bleeding, he didn't care.

Xia Guoyuan stopped, tidied up his messy clothes and hair, took a few deep breaths and said calmly: "Even if you are an assassin, it is only for wealth or revenge. Since you call me Xia Ge Lao, you should know the power of the old man. If you want anything, you can tell the old man. ”

The masked assassin was stunned for a moment, and his heart was a little loose, but it was only a matter of a moment, and his master was not something that the person opposite could move, so he said hoarsely as he walked: "Old Xia Ge, you can't help me, it's better to leave your life to me on a business trip." I forgot to tell you, you can call me a 'Blood Bodhisattva'. You scholars have a good memory, and you should still remember the handprint I left on the door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion ten years ago. ”

Xu Anping, who had been hiding behind, heard their conversation and roughly knew what was going on, it turned out that this old man was really a big man. Of course, it's still a big guy with a black belly. When he heard that the assassin claimed to be the "Blood Bodhisattva", Xu Anping immediately poured blood into his pupils, and his whole body trembled a little, and the tragic death of Father Yu resurfaced in front of him. He threw out two thick-tailed embroidery needles with hatred, then drew his dagger and rushed out, with only one thought in his heart, "I will break him into ten thousand pieces!! ”

Xia Guoyuan, who had always been calm, suddenly turned pale, and he also remembered that he was almost killed, and knew that he would not be spared today. At this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps and breathing behind him, and he couldn't help but turn around to look, and when he found that he was also a masked man, his heart sank to the bottom, so he closed his eyes. The next moment, instead of feeling pain, he heard the clashing of weapons, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be two masked men fighting. The masked man rushing from behind was extremely vicious, with a deadly move, eager to poke the assassin through the attack.

The Blood Bodhisattva secretly complained, thinking that this was where Xia Guoyuan found his stunned head, and it was too desperate, it was completely a way of hurting people and harming eight hundred. After more than a dozen moves, the wound on the Blood Bodhisattva's body that was grabbed by the palace burst out and bleed again, and he began to be a little overwhelmed, so he started to retreat. He suddenly stabbed the dagger into the opponent's heart, and quickly withdrew from the gap between the opponent's defense, and disappeared into the woods after three or two blows.

Xu Anping calmed down and remembered that Yi Lian'er was still waiting for him, so he forcibly resisted the urge to chase after him, and waved his dagger hatefully and prepared to turn around and leave.

Xia Guoyuan said at this time: "Little brother, thank you for saving your life. Can you leave your name, so that the old man can report back to him in the future. ”

Xu Anping thought for a moment and lowered his voice and replied: "Let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future, don't leave it at that." ”

Xia Guoyuan hurriedly took off the jade pendant hanging on his body, threw it to Xu Anping, and said: "Little brother, if you encounter any trouble in the future, use this jade pendant to find the old man in the Xia Mansion in the capital." The old man must do his best. ”

Xu Anping took the jade pendant and put it in his hand, and put it in his arms, "Okay." Then he turned and walked away.

Xia Guoyuan stroked the long white beard under his chin, thought for a while, and then disappeared into the woods.
