Chapter Ninety-Eight: It's Her
The men and horses who were killed head-on were also dressed in Song military attire, but it was only recently that it became clear that they were all masked with black cloths.
The comers are not good.
Seeing this, Xiong Qingye hurriedly ordered his subordinates to fight the forbidden army.
The lord of Nayelu drew his sword and shouted in Khitan to the accompanying Khitan warriors.
More than 20 soldiers from the Liao and Song dynasties quickly formed a formation and blocked the way of the enemy cavalry.
The archers in the rear opened their bows and arrows one after another, striking at the enemy from a distance.
The more than ten masked enemies were obviously not ordinary thieves, wielding the weapons in their hands, easily blocking the incoming arrows.
Suddenly, the first rider had rushed to the front.
The masked man slammed into the blocking military formation, and the silver spear in his hand sprang out like a swimming dragon, only to hear a fierce scream, and the masked man easily opened a gap, dancing the spear and slapping the horse for a long time.
The enemy cavalry that followed the rest followed, and the horses' hooves passed everywhere, completely destroying the military formation composed of Song Liao soldiers.
This group of thieves was unstoppable and went straight to Shi Wei's carriage.
Seeing this, Yelu Siyun pulled out the scimitar at his waist, slapped his horse up, and led the surrounding Khitan warriors to meet the battle.
Xiong Qingye didn't care about others, and only ordered his soldiers to gather around the carriage, so as not to protect Shi Wei's safety.
The masked man with a silver spear in his hand was really good at marksmanship, and a silver spear shook out pieces of cold light like pear blossoms, and stabbed several Song Liao soldiers to the ground in the blink of an eye.
The people who escorted the mission, including the Khitans, were about 100.
It's just that the mouth of the valley was sealed, and the team, including Yelu Gaoba, was all sealed on the side of the valley, and it was difficult to come for a while.
And the more than ten masked men were very good at martial arts, although the number was small, but they were very popular, and they quickly gained the upper hand.
The thief's purpose was obviously Shi Wei in the carriage.
"These thieves seem to have premeditated, their martial arts are so good, they are obviously not ordinary robbers, are they really coming at me with such a big fight?"
Shi Wei, who was in the carriage, couldn't help but worry in his heart when he watched the masked man kill the carriage step by step through the gap in the curtain.
When he saw Yelu Siyun who was fighting with a knife, he suddenly realized again.
The thieves definitely didn't come for Shi Wei, but for the people in the carriage.
And the person who was supposed to be sitting in the carriage was not that Yelu Gaoba.
In other words, someone wants to kill the envoys of the Liao State!
Shi Wei, who had figured it out, couldn't help but become more and more suspicious, and in the confusion of his thoughts, he couldn't think of who was going to kill this Yelu Gaoba for a while.
"It doesn't matter who you are, Lao Tzu can't be a substitute for the dead."
Thinking of this, Shi Weidang even planned to escape from the carriage.
Just as he was about to leave, the masked man was already close to him, kicked his feet, and suddenly jumped into the carriage.
The cold light was like lightning, and the silver spear passed through the curtain of the car and went straight to Shi Wei.
The carriage is a small space, and the incident happened suddenly, Shi Wei doesn't know martial arts, so he can't dodge when he sees it.
At this moment, a clear drink suddenly sounded in mid-air, but it was Yelu Siyun who jumped into the car.
Before he could settle his feet, the scimitar in his hand slashed at the masked assassin with the sound of the wind.
This is Wei Wei's killer move to save Zhao.
If the masked man did not withdraw his move, the moment he stabbed Shi Wei, he would be slashed by Yelu Siyun's scimitar.
Tremble in the balance.
The masked man decisively put away his gun, and the horizontal gun stood in front of the front door.
Qiang~~ With a roar, the scimitar struck the crossbar.
Yelu Siyun took advantage of the fall, and the force of her arm pressed the masked man to bend her body, and she took advantage of the situation to jump on the front of the car.
The masked man exerted his arms, and suddenly swung away the attacking knife, and the silver spear reversed, roaring towards Yelu Siyun.
The two of them stood at the front of the carriage and fought fiercely.
Shi Wei in the carriage was almost touched by the stabbing spear, and was naturally startled.
However, he quickly calmed down and watched as Yeruth dragged the masked assassin in tow, but he fled through the side window.
Unfortunately, the horse was frightened and neighed forward.
As soon as the carriage moved, Shi Wei was immediately shaken and fell out.
The horses galloped, and in the blink of an eye they dragged the cart out of the melee, off the avenue, and galloped away in the wilderness.
Yelu Siyun and the masked man's martial arts were on par, although they were on the running carriage, the two of them stood extremely steady, and the moves in each other's hands were not chaotic at all.
This is bitter Shi Wei in the carriage.
The stumbling on the field made Shi Wei stumble around, and he couldn't get out of the car window at all.
And the two people on the front of the car were snoring, and the swords and guns were eyeless, and Shi Wei didn't dare to show his head.
Suddenly, the wheels hit a protruding stone, and the whole carriage shook violently, and it flew three feet into the air.
Yelu Siyun, who was fighting fiercely on the front of the car, leaned to the left side, and the masked man took advantage of this flaw, and the silver spear stabbed out like lightning and slammed into her chest.
In this unfavorable situation, Yelu Siyun had no way to dodge, so he had to kick under his feet, and his whole body jumped out of the carriage.
By the time it landed, the carriage had sped a few paces away.
Yelu Siyun got up from the ground, and seeing that he couldn't catch up, he hurriedly unloaded the small crossbow on his back, got up, and Yafeng went directly to the masked man in the carriage.
When the assassin saw that he had forced Yelu Siyun out of the car, he thought that he had escaped the enemy, so he was completely defenseless, and turned the silver spear in his wrist to stab him in the car.
At this moment, the sharp sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded.
When the masked man was shocked, the crossbow bolts were already whizzing, and he couldn't avoid them.
The masked man didn't have time to turn around, but instinctively leaned to the side.
Burst!
There was a crisp crack of flesh tearing, and the crossbow bolt hit him right in the left back.
The masked man snorted, shook his body a few times, and almost fell out.
He endured the pain, turned around and opened the curtain with a gun, and swung his gun to stab Shi Wei in the car.
"Daxia, you have found the wrong person, I am not an envoy of the Liao State."
Shi Wei in the carriage witnessed Yelu Siyun falling, knew that something was wonderful, and when he saw the line between life and death, he could only speak out like this.
The assassin was about to stab him to death with one shot, but it was this scream that gave Shi Wei a shock, and when he looked down, his only eyes couldn't help but flash a look of horror.
"How are you!"
The masked man snorted.
Because it was separated by a layer of black cloth, Shi Wei couldn't hear clearly, but he was sensitive to it, and the voice sounded a little familiar.
At the moment, he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said: "I'm just a Langzhong, the Khitan envoy you want to kill is separated by you on the other side of the valley, and it's too late for you to rush back now." ”
Shi Wei didn't deliberately lead the troubled water to Yelu Gaoba, but now that he was in a moment of survival, where could he still take care of the Hu man who became a brother because of a meal.
Besides, Yelu Gaoba has a large team of men and horses to protect him, even if this masked man will go back, I am afraid that he will not be able to help Yelu Gaoba.
The masked man was startling himself when he suddenly felt more and more pain in the wound on his back.
In desperation, he threw down the curtain of the carriage, ignored Shi Wei, and only drove the carriage to the west.
Shi Weichang in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew very well that with the masked man's martial arts, it would be easy to kill himself, but he didn't do it, which showed that he didn't intend to kill himself at all.
In other words, although he has not yet escaped from the predicament, his surname should be unharmed.
"Count me fate, why does that masked man's voice sound a little familiar, could it really be someone I know?"
Shi Wei's thoughts were rolling, but he couldn't think of a way to get out for a while, so he could only stay in the carriage honestly, not daring to act rashly.
I don't know how long it took, but the carriage finally stopped.
Then, Shi Wei heard the masked man jump out of the car, and the footsteps went away.
Shi Wei cautiously poked his head out, only to see that the carriage had stopped beside a small river, and the masked assassin was crouching by the river to drink water, with half a crossbow bolt stuck in his back, and purple-black blood was gushing out from around the wound.
A rare opportunity, you can't miss it.
Shi Wei decisively got out of the carriage, trying to take advantage of the masked man's inattention, and quickly set up the carriage to escape.
Before he could grasp the reins, the horse suddenly neighed.
"Damn, at such a critical moment, you're a ghost." Shi Wei scolded in his heart.
Sure enough, such a shout immediately alarmed the masked man by the river, and he turned around suddenly.
At this time, because he was drinking water, the black cloth covering his face had been removed, and when Shi Wei saw the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.
The masked man turned out to be a woman.
Moreover, this woman is still the girl who started with him for a fox jacket in Xiongzhou Yanchang.
In an instant, countless clues were stirring in his mind, and Shi Wei immediately figured out everything.
It seems that this group of assassins had already set their sights on the envoys of the Liao State as early as the time of Xiongzhou.
And Shi Wei and the others have probably been watched by these assassins since they left Xiongzhou City, and the assassins followed them all the way and figured out their southward route, so they chose Taniguchi as the location of the attack.
It is clear that this was a well-planned and long-planned assassination operation.
The mastermind behind this group of assassins must be extraordinary.
On Shi Wei's back, he couldn't help but secretly feel a chill.
The girl saw that Shi Wei's eyes were different, and she hurriedly looked down, only to realize that she had forgotten to cover her face.
Her brows immediately furrowed, and the silver spear in her hand made a motion to be thrown, and shouted: "If you dare to move, believe it or not, I will stab you to death with one shot." ”
Shi Wei's idea of escaping immediately dissipated.
He had to suppress the suspicion in his heart, and said with a smile: "Of course I believe in the girl's martial arts, it's okay if I don't move, don't be nervous, everything is easy to discuss." ”
The girl put down the silver spear she was holding aloft and walked over step by step.
Everywhere she walked, blood was dripping from the ground.
When he saw the purple-black blood, Shi Wei's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
"Girl, how could you ......?"
When Shi Wei was about to speak, the girl suddenly raised the silver spear, and the sharp tip of the spear was pointed at Shi Wei's throat.
