When Wu Bencao turned to look, he saw that the lamp tower was caught in a raging sea of fire, and the whole thing was tilted down to the ground. Apparently, its bottom was destroyed by explosives and is collapsing with a bang and being reduced to rubble.

The fire is shining in the sky, and the night is lively before ever.

Wu Bencao guessed the assassin's intentions, and said coldly: "I understand, there is a problem with the lantern tower itself, and their plan of action is not to rush into the building, but to fish in troubled waters, and then kill people after the building collapses!"

After the empress ascended the stairs, there must be a large number of masters around her, and it was impenetrable. Not to mention the ordinary Three Realms, even if a strong person like Li Qianqiu did it himself, he couldn't quickly break through the defense and hurt her life.

Therefore, there is extremely little hope of breaking through this plan, and it will only take the life of the assassin. If you want to break through the tight defenses, the easiest option is not to fight, but to outwit and destroy the entire building.

The lantern tower was newly built a year ago, specially for the emperor to enjoy the lanterns on the Yuan Festival, and now it seems that the person who built the building is also the mastermind, buried the explosives in advance, and detonated at this time, becoming the killer weapon of this action.

The lighthouse collapsed, the fire was raging, and everyone in the building was in danger, and the guards were no exception. There were still a large number of people outside the building, and they must have fled in panic, causing a serious riot, and the situation was completely out of control.

Thus, the opportunity for the Assassins came.

The emperor could not be injured by just blowing up the building, but the people present were panicked, like frightened birds, and their first reaction must have been, asking the guards to protect the emperor and send her back to the palace. And the three assassins lurked in the middle of the guards.

This is the best time for them to assassinate.

Bai Yujing looked at the lantern tower in the sea of fire, and said in a deep voice: "The building collapsed to the west, Xiao Ai is standing in the south, that is, in front of us, and she shouldn't be able to hit her." I'm rushing to take her now, and it's too late. ”

Wu Bencao was worried about his sister's safety, stared ahead, shook his head and replied: "No, this is the time when the imperial court guards are the most nervous, the assassin has not yet appeared, you rush over first, what will they think?"

If someone volleys forward and approaches the light tower, the guards must have preconceived notions that Lao Bai is an assassin and attack him in groups. In order to protect the emperor, they would rather kill by mistake than let go, and it was impossible to give him a chance to explain.

In that case, Lao Bai will be difficult to argue, and he will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

So, now is not the time to make a move.

Lao Bai understood Wu Bencao's concerns and asked, "Then what should I do?" The crowd in front is already chaotic, and they are all crowded towards the rear, we don't have to work lightly, and we definitely can't go over to protect Xiao Ai." ”

Wu Bencao frowned, his mind was racing fast, and replied, "After the assassin is exposed and attracts the attention of the guards, let's go to Xiao Ai." She was at the front of the crowd, and the crowd couldn't squeeze her, so it wasn't a big problem. ”

In the event of a stampede, it is the people in the rear who are most vulnerable to injury, and if they are unsteady on their feet, they become stepping stones. Fortunately, Xiao Ai's position is at the front and relatively safe.

Just as he was thinking, on the top floor of the light tower, dozens of strong men broke out of the window, rushed out of this sea of fire before the light tower collapsed, and landed on the flat ground not far away.

Although these people were torn and embarrassed, they drew their swords and stood in a large circle, closely watching the surroundings, and did not mess up. Judging by the situation, the emperor should be in the protective circle, safe and sound.

When Bai Yujing saw this scene, he exclaimed: "It is worthy of being a master of the Great Interior, these people are not high, but they have a good ability to deal with changes, and they still maintain strict guards." Faced with this difficult bone, what should the Li family do?"

Wu Bencao stood on the side of the road and said, "They have been planning for a long time, and they must have a backhand." Didn't you say that there were three groups of assassins, and if I were to control them, the first two would have worked......"

During the construction of the lantern tower, the mastermind behind the scenes had already manipulated the relevant officials and secretly planted explosives. Now, the Emperor was still in the midst of the guards, leaving the Assassins with no chance to take advantage of them.

The planners would not have anticipated the situation in front of them, their plan would not be so simple, and there would be a follow-up to further disrupt the Emperor's position.

Lao Bai thought thoughtfully, "Old Man Li won't show up easily, you mean that those undercover agents hiding in the crowd will do it?"

Wu Bencao's eyes flickered, and he replied, "This group of people is very interesting. Under the insight of the Ouchi masters, they are the easiest to expose, but the most difficult to capture, after all, in the vast sea of people, both sides have a difficult ......"

The crowd with the lights off was too large, and even if someone upstairs noticed that there were more than a dozen masters hiding inside, they couldn't rush in and arrest them. If they compete with this group of people, the guards will spend a lot of effort, which is equivalent to falling into the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain.

Therefore, this bait is the most obvious and safest.

Lao Bai released his divine thoughts, searched for the hidden killers in the crowd, and said: "But their cultivation is even weaker, even if they rush out of the crowd, they can't break through the defenses of the guards, not to mention, there is a person who is not weaker than Old Man Li......"

As if they had heard his comments and wanted to prove themselves, the group of people immediately took action, throwing many small objects out of the crowd like grenades, and flying into the open space next to the lighthouse.

Although the street was brightly lit at this time, it was night after all, and the sky was still dark. The objects sped fast, dense and invisible, and in an instant they were over the heads of the guards.

If they resemble grenades and can explode, then, once they land, most of the guards will be injured and will no longer be able to maintain their formation, and even the emperor himself will suffer.

This trick is much more powerful than hard breaking.

At this moment, an old man suddenly rushed out of the middle of the guards, dressed in a gray robe, frozen in mid-air. He stretched out his right hand, fingered at the sword, and pointed at those things through the void, and spat out a cold voice from his mouth.

"Broken!"

With one finger, the sword qi erupted, turning into countless void swords, and the cold sword qi shrouded those things in them, wantonly strangling.

Hiss, hiss......

In front of this sword, no matter how many troops and horses you have, you will still be cut into pulp, and you will have no power.

Those things can be easily chopped to pieces.

The Assassins' "grenades" seem to have been defused.

However, in the next moment, a large amount of purple smoke erupted from inside, accompanied by a rich and foul-smelling smell, instantly engulfing the nearby space and engulfing the guards.

"Not good, toxic ......"

As soon as the word poison was spoken, the man immediately wailed and passed out.

It turned out that the assassins were not throwing grenades, but gas bombs. They still didn't plan to fight head-on, but chose to attack poisonously.

In the distance of the crowd, Wu Bencao and Lao Bai saw this, their faces changed drastically, and they exclaimed at the same time: "Save Xiao Ai!"

The two of them rose into the air and ran desperately towards the front.

They had always believed that the goal of the Assassins was to kill the Emperor and to fight quickly, without the time or need to harm innocent people. But he never expected that the other party would use such a ruthless means to release a large amount of poisonous mist.

The poisonous fog does not have long eyes, and it recognizes who deserves to die, and anyone who is contaminated with it will suffer miserably. In this way, in addition to the guards, the first person to bear the brunt of the poison is the crowd at the front.

Xiao Ai is in big trouble.

Wu Bencao and Lao Bai are very fast.

However, there are unexpected circumstances.

In the purple poisonous mist, an old voice sounded, and he said sharply: "Everyone use their skills to disperse the poisonous mist with the palm wind!"

Immediately afterward, a fierce wind erupted inside, blowing a poisonous mist forward.

They alleviated the crisis, but large crowds of lantern watchers suffered on their behalf, falling in the poisonous fog.
