Chapter 270: The Night of Murder (2)
"Uncle Wang doesn't have to send it far, just go back."
The thirtieth birthday of the second lady of the Cao family was extremely beautiful, the guests were like clouds, the canopy gathered, the host was even more flattering, good wine and good food went without saying, singing, dancing and juggling were everything, a big banquet was tossed from the beginning of the lantern to the end of the time, the guests and hosts were happy, at the end, or Hongqing took the lead in saying goodbye and left, not for anything else, just because he was the guest of honor, if he didn't go, none of the guests dared to go, but Hongqing didn't let the Wang family father and son and others send it away, just to the garden gate, He waved his hand and motioned for all those who saw him off to stay.
"The lower officials and others (grass people, etc.) send off Lord Qincha."
Although Hongqing has always behaved very kindly at today's night banquet, laughing and laughing with everyone, and looking exceptionally approachable, who really dares to be presumptuous in front of Hongqing, naturally they all give respectful gifts to each other.
"Go back to the station!"
Hongqing actually doesn't like this kind of banquet and drinking occasions very much, but after all, in his previous life, he had played countless rolls in the wine field, and he was very relaxed to deal with such occasions, but he drank a little more, but his head was a little drowsy, and he had no intention of waiting for more with the send-off, so he walked slowly to the sedan chair, dropped a sentence of explanation, and got into the spacious sedan chair with a hunch, leaned heavily on the brocade cushion, and then closed his eyes and recuperated.
"Get up!"
With the sound of a broken drink, the eight sedan chair drivers exerted their strength at the same time, and the wide sedan chair immediately rose steadily, surrounded by a group of palace guards, along the not too wide road to the direction of the post station located outside the north city gate......
Wangjiayuan is located outside the east city gate, not too far from the post station, but there are also four miles away, although the road condition is good, but after all, it is a night road, a group of people waiting to get up from the day is not too fast, nearly half an hour has passed, this has just arrived at the Qianxi Bridge, the time spent is more than twice as much.
Qianxi Bridge, the specific origin is not examinable, it is said that there is the existence of this bridge as early as the end of the Song Dynasty, because it is built on the Qianxi River, so it is named Qianxi Bridge, of course, the history is long and long, but it is not a very famous place of interest, naturally there is no special feature at all, it is just an ordinary small bridge, the bridge is three zhang wide, high, it is just higher than the water surface more than zhang, as for the length, it is only more than ten zhang up and down, just a simple bridge for farmers on both sides of the Qianxi River to pass, Hongqing and his party and other more than 100 people arrived here, I had to stretch the line long, and the guards in front had already crossed the bridge, but the guards behind were still crowded in the small forest away from the bridge, and the originally strict escort team was inevitably a little chaotic because of this.
"Whoosh ......"
Just when the big sedan chair that Hongqing was riding had just reached the center of the bridge, he heard a whistle suddenly, the sound of the machine spring suddenly became loud, and a rain of arrows shot away from the forest on both sides of the rear team like flying locusts, and the palace guards who were caught off guard were immediately shot down several people, and for a time the screams rang out one after another, and the entire rear team suddenly became a mess.
"Kill!"
Before a group of palace guards could figure out what was going on, they heard a cold shout from the forest on the left side of the front team, and then heard the shouts burst out, a group of black-clothed people had already killed from both sides of the woods, and before a group of palace guards could make a response, the black-clothed men who were surging to kill had already killed mercilessly to the front, and only one assault had completely disrupted the positions of the palace guards, and the sword light and sword shadow flashed with the cold light of death in the hazy night.
"Don't mess up, block the front and rear teams, don't retreat!"
The incident happened suddenly, although the palace guards were large in number and their personal martial arts were quite extraordinary, but in the case of front and back attacks, they were beaten in a mess for a while, and the guards who couldn't resist were about to crowd towards the center of the bridge one after another, which immediately made Li Min, who was guarding the sedan chair, act in a hurry, but seeing that he pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist, he carried enough qi and let out a loud roar.
"Kill, protect the little prince!"
"Fight with the thief!"
"Hold on, kill!"
……
The guards who followed Hongqing on a business trip this time are all Hongqing's old subordinates, and they have not been less favored by Hongqing on weekdays, so to speak, they are all fed with silver, and they are all fierce, although they were attacked by the enemy and were in chaos, but once Li Minxing gave the order, they all broke out with blood and bravery, and they all turned back and killed the generals regardless of the ground.
Although the palace guards are already desperate, but the roads at both ends of the bridge are narrow, and the troops cannot be deployed at all, and secondly, for a while, they can't figure out the scale of the enemy, and they can't help but be a little chaotic to deal with, and they can't stop the wild assault of the thieves at both ends. But at best, it still has the power to resist, but the rear team that was attacked behind was not so lucky, with many casualties, Wuzi could not resist, and many guards were forced to jump into the stream, and the sound of "poof" was endless.
Damn, what bastard is going to stab Lao Tzu!
In the chaos, Hongqing stayed in the sedan chair very sensibly, although he was frightened, he still resisted the urge to get out of the sedan chair, just because he knew very well that in this kind of chaotic battle, the martial arts that he had just started practicing for a long time were really useless, if he really got out of the sedan chair, not only could not help, but would pull everyone's hind legs, because of this, even if the legs and feet were already trembling uncontrollably, Hongqing was still strong and silent, but the anger in his heart was unstoppably surging, secretly vowed to smash the mastermind behind this assassination into pieces.
"Kill the past, Hugh has gone Hongqing thief, sons, come with me, kill!"
There were obviously more assassins who attacked and killed the palace guards from behind than the front team, and their martial arts were also significantly higher, especially when a masked strong man was a master among the masters, a big knife waved up and down, and successively cut down several palace guards who were desperately resisting, and soon rushed to the bridge, but seeing his roar, the human knife rushed onto the bridge in one, and the more than 20 black-clothed masked people who followed saw this, each roared angrily, and launched the final assault, killing the only remaining 20 palace guards in the rear team and retreating.
"Good thief, take your life!"
Seeing that his own rear team was already invincible, Li Minxing couldn't hold it back, how dare he really let the thieves kill in front of the sedan chair, but listening to his angry roar, a little ground under his feet, the person had jumped up like a big bird, and swept through the air like a meteor, the person was still in the air, the sword move was already vigorous, the wrist was only shaken, and more than a dozen sword flowers had suddenly appeared, like a dream like fog to the masked strong man who rushed to the front of the thieves.
"Kill!"
The masked thief chief obviously expected that Li Minxing would attack with all his might, not only did he not dodge, but he roared sharply, and slashed over a palace guard who was fighting with him, and took advantage of the situation to step forward, raised his arm, and made a violent move, but when he saw a match-like sword rising in the air, he instantly met Li Minxing's sword move.
"Bell ......"
Li Minxing made a clever move, and the thief chief was strong, under the hard collision between the two sides, there was a sudden burst of dense rain hitting the plantain-like impact, and the two figures flew out separately, the difference was that the thief chief occupied the advantage of the field, and only took four steps back to stand up, while Li Minxing was in the air, unable to borrow strength, and was shocked by the force of the hard collision and flew backwards more than two feet.
"Kill!"
A good Li Minxing, although he suffered a slight loss under the hard encounter, but he was not chaotic at all, but seeing that he was in the air, he only turned around, and his toes were already on the shoulders of a palace guard, and he got up again with his strength, and shot straight forward like an arrow, and the human sword once again killed the thief chief who had just gained a foothold.
"Good time!"
Although the masked thief chief didn't expect Li Minxing to come so quickly, he was not afraid, but when he heard his roar, as soon as he used his feet, he jumped up like a cheetah, his arm shook, and the sword light flashed out violently again, killing Li Minxing like a thunderbolt.
"Qiang Qiang ......"
The masked thief chief and Li Minxing are both masters of the masters, the two sides only touched in the air, the knife and the sword have been exchanged several times, and the overflowing energy emptied the bridgehead of the chaotic battle to a part of the boss, whether it was the palace guards or the thieves who attacked and killed, they were shaken up by the flying air waves, and many people were even shaken to fly down into the stream under the bridge, so that the attack of the thieves behind the bridge was virtually stopped.
"There are not many thieves, kill them and overthrow them!"
"Kill, kill all the thieves!"
……
Just when Li Minxing was fighting fiercely with the masked thief chieftain, the palace guards of the front team had also stabilized their positions, and by the moonlight, the thieves who attacked and killed from the front were only a dozen people, which immediately made the palace guards who had always been ruthless all angry, and they all roared and launched a counterattack.
"Whoa......
The thieves in front have been defeated, and the thieves in the back have been blocked by Li Minxing, and the battle situation seems to have developed in favor of the royal side, but at this moment, a violent splash sounded under the bridge, and two black-clothed people dressed in tight water suddenly jumped up from the stream, like two flying fish, left and right to the big sedan chair where Hongqing was located, and at this time, in addition to the eight dazed sedan chair men who were still guarding the sedan chair, there were only four guards left and four guards, there is no doubt about it, If there is no accident, Hongqing's life is obviously a little worried!
