Chapter 242: Rite of Passage

After the upheaval, the neighing of people and horses suddenly resounded through the intestines of the sheep, exclaiming, and screaming came one after another. The spearmen who were originally in battle were anxious and wanted to rush forward to protect the gentleman, but the road was narrow, and they were blocked by one load after another, and they couldn't pass at all.

At this moment, I heard a loud shout from behind: "Everyone in front of you is lying down!" ”

And Wu Jing, who was arranging for the baggage to move the space, also shouted: "Snapshot what he said to do!" ”

The spearmen lay down in unison, feeling a heavy object on their bodies, and when they looked up, they saw seven or eight figures passing by with swords. They crossed the blocked road, overturned several wagons, and ran wildly towards the scene of the incident.

It was Tian Ben and several of his soldiers, all lightly armed and agile.

Inadvertently played a coordinated game with Tian Ben, and after spitting on the ground, he also began to play his strengths and organized the spearmen to go over in batches.

"The gentleman has the protection of the Emperor of Heaven, and he will be safe, no matter how many assassins come, he will just be sent to death!"

Yu Xi, who dismounted and shot at foot, also thought so, he stood next to the overturned chariot, shooting arrows at the assassin who was approaching the four ** chariots step by step after defeating Musha, and the snow drifted on his face and hands, and he didn't realize it.

Yu Xi had already inserted four or five arrows into the assassin's side, but he was wearing tough shark skin armor, and the arrows could not penetrate the flesh, at most half an inch into the skin, and could not be fatal.

"Abandon the bow, take the short sword, and follow me!" Yu Xi threw away his bow and arrows, and led his dismounted riders over the obstacle and lunged at the Assassin. Although with the performance of his talents. These people themselves passed. You can block two or three times.

As long as you can hold off the assassins and give the gentleman time to get out of danger, or let a large number of soldiers at the rear of the convoy arrive! Dozens of Ge were pecked together, and I don't believe that he won't die!

But, is it still too late?

Musha, who had been pinned to the mountain wall with a short spear by the Assassins, also gasped as he grabbed the hilt of the spear on his shoulder with his backhand. He forcibly pulled the short spear out of his shoulder, and blood gushed like a spring. He leapt to his feet, spear in hand, and charged at the Assassin with his back......

"Stretch!"

At this moment, all the people who were approaching heard a faint chord sound.

"Stretch!"

In Gu Yezi's ears, the sound of the strings was extremely crisp, getting closer and closer to him. He saw Zhao Wuxian's fingers on the other side move lightly, and then something flew straight towards his eyes. Gu Yezi subconsciously reached out to hold it, only to feel the sharp pain in his palm, and the skin and flesh were torn raw.

Then, the voice went straight into his ...... In the eye sockets!

Just now, Zhao Wuxian finally found the weapon called the crossbow and shrank in front of Le Lingzi and Le Qi. Silently aim at the wall of the car. After Gu Yezi swung his spear and broke through the carriage. Without hesitation, he pulled the hanging knife and shot an arrow.

The sharp crossbow arrow was extremely fast and extremely fierce within three steps, and although Gu Yezi grabbed it with an iron palm, he couldn't stop the arrow from shooting into his eye socket, directly sinking into two inches, almost penetrating the skull.

"Ahh Gu Yezi let out a cry of pain, but he didn't hesitate, he pulled out the arrow and his eyeball, and the blood in his eyes splashed all over the carriage and the ground.

Gu Yezi's teeth were gritted loudly. Huhu gasped, and was about to swing his spear and pierce the weak-crowned gentleman who was winding the bow-shaped instrument. But suddenly he felt a sharp weapon pierce into his thigh from behind, nailing him to the ground, and then, a pair of solid arms grabbed his back!

On the side, a cold wind also struck, and two short swords as fierce as falcons stabbed crosswise, one stabbed into his soft waist, shattering his kidneys, and the other slashed off his ears.

It is Tian Ben who has prominent eyes and gritted teeth! He hurried here at great speed, and cursed in his mouth:

"Hugh wants to hurt my lord!"

At the front of the road, Yu Xi rushed with his riders, and at the back of the road, the well had already organized everyone, and the spears rushed to the assassins like a forest.

However, it was still Zhao Wuxian who delivered the fatal blow.

After the assassin was restrained by his own people, Zhao Wuxian decisively threw away the extremely slow hand crossbow and pulled out the sharp Shaoyu sword, using the strength of his body to push the sword forward with his palm. The Wu Di Divine Soldier broke through the protection of the shark skin armor, pierced Gu Yezi's chest, and came out of his body.

The winter snow is continuous, getting denser and denser, the ground is already white, and Gu Yezi's red blood is also dripping on it, like peach blossoms.

The sharp weapon hidden on the four-wheeled carriage without a shirt was a crossbow. When he performed the crown salute, Han Hu gave the crossbow of the Chu Guoqin clan as a gift. After accepting it, he couldn't put it down, and let the Zhao craftsmen imitate and improve it, and ten days later, he made a few small hand crossbows. This is only a rudimentary version, it can only fire one arrow at a time, and it has a slow winding, little power, and an effective range of only fifty or sixty paces.

However, no matter how brave and strong a warrior is, when he confronts this simple instrument that can be used by a ten-year-old child at close range, he capsized in the gutter and suffered a fatal arrow.

After a few breaths, the Assassin fell to his knees on the snow, his arms and legs already ruined. The sword broke through his chest, but this person was not dead, but he just held his head high and looked at the young Zhao Wuxian and Le Qi behind him steadily.

Mu Xia was seriously injured, but he still walked to Zhao Wuxian's side with Yu Xi, Tian Ben, Jing, and even the pale Zhao Guangde, Xing Ao, etc., who rushed to escort him, and said: "We are incompetent, and we have not intercepted and killed this thief, so as to alarm the king, please punish the lord!" ”

In the distance, the cavalry who were initially stunned, the armor soldiers who were broken through by the assassins, and even the spearmen who had not been able to arrive for a long time were even more ashamed and stepped forward to plead guilty.

In fact, from the time the Assassin threw his spear at the top of the mountain to now, it was only a quarter of a quarter, just a few minutes.

In the usual way, Zhao Wuxian would definitely smile and say that he was fine, but today, his mood was very bad, and the sobs of Le Lingzi behind him were getting louder and louder.

She was holding her father Le Qi, and his blood was still uncontrollable, flowing more and more from the big hole in his chest.

"Gentleman, my father has something to say to you."

Le Lingzi sealed all the acupuncture points in his chest and abdomen with silver needles, but this could only hang Le Qi for a breath and make him say a word.

Zhao Wuxian walked briskly to the front. Hold Le Qi's hand tightly.

"Woman." This was the first time he had called Le Qi like that. After returning to this era, in addition to Zhao Ying, the person who can give him a feeling of "father" is Le Qi.

Song Guoqingshi still looked smiling, and he said to Wuxian: "My ancestor is the son of Sicheng, and he has been not greedy for a treasure for generations, and the clan has my son who is not a weapon to inherit." There is also the assistance of the retainer Chen Yin, so there should be no major problems. ”

Le Lingzi covered his mouth and sobbed, Zhao Wuxian also lowered his eyes sadly, Le Qi was confessing his last words.

Le Qi's face was ruddy, this was a sign of returning to the light, and with this last strength, he actually said a lot of words in one breath.

"There are two kinds of jade that is not greedy, one is with me, and the other is worn by Lingzi. My son is not of good character. Vulgar and unfilial, this Jue must be handed over to someone who is not greedy, so I can rest assured, so after I die, I will give it to you. The two Jue are in one, and the Le clan armor can be deployed. In the future, the Le family. It's up to you. ”

The blood-stained jade jue was heavily placed in Wuxian's hands by Le Qi, heavy and sticky.

"This mission, the affairs of the Jin and Song dynasties, is no longer something I can worry about, I hope that after you arrive in the Song Kingdom, you can try your best to persuade the monarch not to let the century-old good between the two countries break down."

After saying these two things, Le Qi gasped violently, and his eyes turned white. It was easy to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said:

"The man who assassinated me was also a warrior, and if possible, ask for his name and include him in the Assassin crosses. After I die, I don't want to be buried in the Jin Kingdom, I just want to be buried in my hometown, and the funeral doesn't have to be done in a big way, and I am buried in a thin coffin, with no concubines with clothes, no horses with corn, no gold and jade, and no heavy equipment. ”

Zhao Wuxian was also a little choked: "Woman, what you said, the kid wrote it down one by one!" ”

Le Qi showed a relieved smile, at this point, he was getting weaker and weaker, his voice was like a gossamer, and the big and young masters couldn't wait.

"Gubu Ziqing once said, although I will die in the Jin Kingdom, but in the future, my descendants will have to aspire to the Song Dynasty, honestly...... Si Yan ......"

His hand reluctantly caressed his daughter's face, and his consciousness became more and more blurred: "Wuxi, Lingzi, I will entrust it to you......"

With that, he turned his head away and died in his daughter's arms.

The snow fell one after another, as if to cover his body.

Compassionless like a knife, he closed his eyes in pain, and in the dark, Le Qi's usual heroic smile was still the same.

"Father!" Le Lingzi hugged Le Qi's gradually cold corpse and fainted sadly.

Zhao Wuxian silently leaned over, carried Lingzi to another spare warm car, and covered her with a layer of bedding.

Then, he clenched his fists tightly.

It was even stronger than the time when Chengxiang did, and a fierce hatred permeated his chest.

Who wants to kill Le Qi? Who was going to kill him, was it Fan? Was the Assassin the only one in front of him, or was there some other helper?

Zhao Wuxian's heavy footsteps rustled on the snow, and he strode up to the assassin who had completely lost his limbs, tugged at his clothes, and asked coldly, "Who sent you?" ”

The Assassin looked at the young gentleman with his head held high, smiling but not answering.

Zhao Wuxian knew what this kind of person cared about, and he softened his tone and said: "Although he is an assassin, he is also a martyr, and he should not be ignored, and it should be recorded in the history books and famous for future generations." Whoever entrusted me with my feet, I will only ask for the name of my feet. ”

This sentence is exactly in the heart of Gu Yezi, he came all the way to assassinate, isn't this it? It's great to be able to make your enemies sing your name.

He raised his voice and said: "Today's assassin Le Qi and the gentleman of the Zhao family, Qi people Gu Yezi is also!" ”

Zhao Wuxian had heard of the war that took place in the west of the Lu Kingdom, so he knew the name and deeds of this person.

"Gu Yezi, the warrior of the Qi Kingdom......"

Qi Guo...... In order to destroy the Jin and Song alliances, they do have the need to kill Le Qi. But what this person wants to kill today is himself, but he and Qi Guo don't have any personal grudges, and it is useless to spend so much trouble assassinating a small pedestrian.

Therefore, in addition to Qi abroad, the mastermind may also have other people.

But Gu Yezi only said this, and then the steel teeth directly bit off his tongue, and spit out a mouthful of rotten meat on the shirtless bottom, which was a dead refusal.

Everyone was furious and wanted to kill him, but Zhao Wuxian just stared at the bloody stains and flesh on his undergarment without saying a word. Then, without waiting for everyone to make a move, he stepped forward on his own, slashed Gu Yezi's throat with a pink scar with a sharp sword, and then kicked the round-eyed big man to the ground.

Blood gushed like a spring, gurgling on the snow, and after the throat of the unworthy warrior was cut, he also died.

Gu Yezi's body gradually stopped twitching, and after losing his life, he was no different from a dead dog.

Zhao Wuxian's eyes were cold, watching the blood steaming in the snow, gradually cooling and condensing, and then turned his face sideways and gently brushed away the snow petals that fell on his shoulders with his hands.

"The dead and wounded horses, the destroyed vehicles, all pushed down the cliff, we set off as soon as possible, before dark, we must rush to the original county!"

In the wind and snow, the team continued to hit the road, the atmosphere was gloomy, and Zhao Wuxian also felt a chill in his body.

Le Qi is a kind elder, he is gentle and kind, he especially appreciates Zhao Wuxian, talks with him about the past and the present, and also gives his baby daughter to Wuxian.

After coming to the Spring and Autumn Period, for the first time, a "relative" was brutally killed in front of Zhao Wuxian, and he felt that something in his heart had been strangled to death.

Kind-hearted, hesitant, indecisive, completely left him from this moment.

Qi Guo, Qi Hou, and the Chen family, who had a close relationship with the assassins, and the huge shadow that had been weaving a conspiracy against Wu Xian and Le Qi.

Zhao Wuxian vowed that these murderers must pay the price.

Like Fan Ying, who witnessed Luan Needle's death more than fifty years ago, Zhao Wuxian completed his real coming-of-age ceremony.

On this evening mixed with snow and blood, he killed the innocent boy who had been curled up in his heart from his previous life to this life! (To be continued~^~)
