Chapter 832: Journey to Jiangnan (8)
There was chaos on the riverbank, and pedestrians who had lived peacefully for a long time were frightened by the sudden event. Those who fainted in fright, those who collapsed to the ground in fright, and those who ran away in fright.
And Gao Yang, who did not have a trace of worry on the painting boat, frowned slightly.
There were a large number of elite guards on the shore, and these people who walked in the darkness came more or less in vain. He didn't worry about his safety at all. But at this time, he thought in his heart, and this matter didn't seem to be so simple.
This kind of assassination of a court official on the street, since he dared to launch it, it was a thunderous blow. Otherwise, it's a complete joke with your own life. With the Assassins on the shore alone, they couldn't even get up to the boat.
Gao Yang shook his head slightly, chuckling to appease Zheng Xiujing, who was a little flustered. With a move in his heart, he turned his head to look into the river. But suddenly found a strange painting with no lights, and I don't know when it quietly approached. At the moment, he was only a few dozen steps away from the painting boat he was in. It was silent on the boat, and not a single ghost could be seen.
"That ship is in danger!"
"Hidden!"
The origin and Gao Yang's words sounded almost at the same time.
Several guards were slightly stunned, and the soldier's vocation was quickly activated, and he fell to the ground directly with one side.
There was a flash of cold light on the painting boat opposite, and a few strong crossbows were quickly heard!
"Ah!!h A dog-legged scholar of Fang Zizhuo was knocked to the ground with a punch and then kicked. He staggered to his feet in pain, ready to run away quietly. But I was pierced by the rapid crossbow arrows!
The old bustard and Mingyue who were sitting on the ground were doused with hot blood by the scholar not far from them. Immediately, they couldn't help themselves and screamed, as if they were the ones who had been shot.
The dark boat rushed straight towards this direction. Several guards who came back to their senses first looked at Gao Yang, who was safe and sound, and then raised the short gun in their hands.
"Bang bang bang!" A barrage of gunfire rang out. The woman's screams were drowned out by a loud roar.
It wasn't just the guards, the guards on the shore were fending off the swarming Assassins while they were shooting at the strange boat.
Sawdust flying!
The boat was a mess of heavy buckshots. Beautifully made. The lantern with the picture of the elegant lady was lit like a cannonball, turning into a little bit of debris. The windows and pavilions were also beaten and dilapidated.
Gao Yang, who had a cold expression, held Zheng Xiujing in his arms, and his eyes were cold.
"Death has been found on my head. Are you people ready to bear the wrath? "Gao Yang has never been afraid of any threat since he got the origin. Because, at least for now, the affairs that could threaten him are almost non-existent.
Eyes roll. looked at the scholar lying on the floor not far away. He had a short metal bolt stuck in his chest, and a mouthful of blood was dripping from his mouth. Trembling like a sieve, his hands gripped the bolt and tried to pull it out. In the end, they couldn't move.
As for his previous menacing companions, they had already fainted with fright. Or you are kneeling on the floor with your head in your hands and shivering! It's wet between your legs! At this time, who of these frightened pillars of the country would care about this former companion?
"It's useless, it's a scholar." Gao Yang retracted his gaze and shook his head slightly.
The Ming Empire has fallen to this point. These are all over the empire, and nothing can be done but rhetoric. All day long, he thinks about finding benefits for himself and taking advantage of the country. It is also necessary to have face. After encountering the invasion of foreign enemies, the pillars of the country who immediately shouted 'the water is too cold' and shaved their hair and were easy to obey were completely invincible moths. Its degree of harm is the best in the world!
Things are moving very quickly. In a very short time, the guards fired only two or three rounds of buckshot. The boat that was beaten was messy, and the painting boat that completely lost its previous exquisite appearance had already slammed into the painting boat where Gao Yang was!
"Bang !!" There was a loud bang.
The two ships crashed into each other. Fortunately, these are all painting boats used for river swimming, and the speed is not too fast. Although the stern of the ship here and the bow of the ship on the other side are badly damaged, they are not going to sink for a while.
When the two ships collided, most of the people were staggering and unsteady. Only Gao Yang is still sitting on the chair as steady as Mount Tai. Even the wine glass in his hand did not shake at all. This level of shock did not have much effect on him.
A frightened shout of the guards rang out from the shore, followed by an even more intense burst of short gun shots.
Gao Yang raised his eyes and looked over, and a group of black-clothed people with short crossbows in one hand and sharp blades in the other came out of the painting boat opposite. These masked bandits all jumped towards the painting boat without hesitation.
From time to time, people were struck by firecrackers from the shore. A large stream of blood burst out from his body and fell into the Qinhuai River with a scream. In a short period of time, a large area of the nearby river was dyed red.
Soon the screams and begging of men and women could be heard from the lower cabins. It's a pity that these killers are all ruthless people who disregard life, and the maidservants, shipwrights, turtle princes and others in the lower cabins have been killed one after another.
At this time, the unlucky painting boat had already left the dock on the shore after Fang Zizhuo came up. When it collided with a painting boat full of killers, it was slowly driving in the middle of the river. In desperation, the guards on the shore who were entangled by the dead could not get through.
At this moment, there are only five elite guards around Gao Yang. If this is a normal person, etc. Even if it is a traverser, I am afraid that it will be a bad and unlucky end. Gao Yang had made a visual inspection before, and at least thirty bandits rushed over.
The guards beside Gao Yang all carried two short firearms with them. This inspiring firearm is extremely powerful in hand-to-hand combat, and if it is hit, it is almost certain death. However, this firebolt also has a disadvantage, which is that the reloading time is too slow. However, this weapon is only used on the battlefield for emergency purposes.
There are too many bandits, and the guards can only shoot ten buckshot bullets in a short period of time. Even if they can kill both of them with one shot, there will still be a large wave of people rushing up. If this hurts the national teacher in any way, then these guards are completely intolerable.
"Whoosh~~~" A short burst of crossbow arrows sounded. More than a dozen crossbow arrows flashed with cold light from the staircase.
"Do-do-do~~~" A table blocked by the guards at the top of the stairs was instantly pierced into a hedgehog. Fortunately, the quality of the table is good, although it has been pierced a lot. But it didn't shine through.
Gao Yang pursed his lips and was about to take a batch of grenades out of the storage space. But it was stopped by the origin.
"Don't do that." The origin said helplessly, "You are a military anti-personnel grenade, do you think this wooden painting boat that was just hit before can resist the explosive power of the grenade?" When the time comes, the ship sinks. You're nothing. But aren't there innocent people here? ”
"Yes." Gao Yang smiled. After a moment's silence, he pulled out two flashbangs from the storage space, along with a few riot shields.
"Dang Chang" Gao Yang threw the blast shield next to several sweaty guards who were already in a hurry. Ignoring the horrified eyes of everyone in the private room. stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Xiujing, who was buried in his arms. said indifferently: "Take this, wait for my order." ”
"Yes!" At this time, these guards who were worried about Gao Yang's safety remembered that the national teacher was a god!
The guards, who were in a state of mind, hurriedly raised their shields and protected them in front of them.
"Click!" Gao Yang pulled the safety pin of the flashbang and threw it out with a raised hand.
The two flashbangs arced through the air and landed steadily down the narrow staircase. Soon, a blinding glow flashed in the lower cabin as if the sun was rising in front of you. Suddenly there was the sound of weapons falling and a miserable howl from below!
"Eyes! My eyes!! ”
"My eyes can't see!!"
......
"Go ahead." Gao Yang pursed his lips indifferently and said, "Leave a few live mouths for interrogation." I'd love to know who is so daring? ”
The guards quickly took their shields and rushed down the stairs. The sound of firing guns and the howls of people before they died rang out throughout the boat.
"You've been living such a dangerous life all along?" Zheng Xiujing, who had a mist in her eyes, raised her head, looked at Gao Yang and muttered.
Gao Yang's expression was slightly stunned, and then he chuckled and said, "This kind of thing is really rare. And don't worry, you have to trust my abilities. I'm a hero with a lucky aura. ”
"Poof!" Zheng Xiujing, who was amused, barely suppressed the worry in her heart. With her delicate red lips, she raised her hand and patted Gao Yang.
"Huh." Gao Yang looked at her with a smile, just as he was about to say something. Suddenly, his heart moved, and almost instinctively, he reached out and clamped it, and grabbed a crossbow arrow with a faint green light flashing on the arrow with his finger!
It was only at this time that the sound of breaking the sky came!
Gao Yang is furious!
The bolt was fired from the second floor of the painting boat opposite. Gao Yang didn't expect that there were still people in ambush in the swarthy window, and he was also a master of archery.
He put the crossbow bolt between his fingers close to his nose and sniffed it, and a faint fishy smell pierced his head. The arrows of this crossbow arrow are clearly smeared with poison!
The reason why Gao Yang was really angry was that the crossbow arrow was not aimed at him. And shot at Zheng Xiujing, who didn't know anything next to Gao Yang!
But any man, when this kind of thing happens, will be blown up, right? At this time, Gao Yang cared about his family to a terrible extent! He didn't even care what danger he was in, because he had already been through so much. However, his own family cannot!
At this moment, the anger in Gao Yang's heart reached the top! (To be continued)
