Chapter 46: The Assassin (2)
It's the Prince!
It's the person of the crown prince Li Wei!
Holding his injured left chest with his right hand, Xie ran desperately down the quiet alley where few pedestrians fought, and after a few alleys, he hid by the haystack in front of a house.
That bastard prince really thinks of himself, and even sent an assassin from [Dangerous Building] to kill himself?
And this time it's not just a ......
Gritting his teeth and holding his breath, Xie An looked down at the collarbone on his left shoulder, the knife just now, after cutting his left arm, almost cut off his collarbone.
It hurts, it hurts to the heart and lungs!
I'm careless, I'm too careless!
The woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu had obviously reminded herself and told herself that the prince had sent someone to investigate the matter, but she naively thought that since this woman relied on the power of the family to help her cover up, the prince should not be able to find out......
Immature!
What childishness!
Looking at his trembling left hand, looking at the bloody wound on his arm, Xie An raised his right hand and wiped the sweat oozing from the severe pain on his forehead.
What to do?
Glancing cautiously at the alley behind him, Xie An's mind quickly became active.
If possible, it is best to escape to the Donggong Mansion, the guards guarding outside the Donggong Mansion are all the elite and well-trained of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, and those assassins should not be in pursuit, not to mention that there is a dance in the mansion.
But the question is, there are still at least three or four miles away from the Donggong Mansion, can I really escape to the mansion smoothly?
Do you want to gamble?
I've already won a bet just now, and this time ......
Wrong!
Since those assassins came to kill me, they should also know their relationship with Mai, so if you think about it, it is likely that those guys will be waiting for them on their way to the Donggong Mansion......
Escape to the crowded streets!
Weilou is an unsavory organization of assassins, and he should not dare to openly kill people on the street, if he can blend in with the crowd, he should be able to get away, and if he is lucky, he can meet the officers and soldiers of the Guard Office on patrol......
Thinking of this, Xie An cautiously glanced left and right, lifted the hem of his robe and wrapped his injured left arm, pressed it against the seriously injured chest, pressed it tightly with his right hand, and continued to flee south.
Thanks to the three months when he was looking for jobs everywhere in Jijing, Xie An knew the southeast and southwest cities of Jijing and the southwest city well, what alleys twisted and turned, what alleys were easy to hide, with his familiarity with these streets and alleys, Xie An scurried back and forth, and was stunned to throw away the assassins behind him.
But Xie An also knew that those people had not given up killing themselves, and the sense of crisis like a cold current was still enveloping him.
Suddenly, Xie An's eyes lit up, and he finally escaped from the alley and came to Chaoyang Street, one of the four main streets in Jijing.
Although the sky was getting darker, there were still a lot of pedestrians coming and going on this Chaoyang Street, and Xie An covered the wounded troops with the hem of his robe, blending in with the crowd.
Suddenly, he paused, because he saw that at the entrance of an alley diagonally opposite, there was a man dressed in black and wearing a cloak, and the cold eyes under this guy's cloak were staring at Xie An.
"......" Xie Anxin was cold, and subconsciously looked around, only to find that the entrances of the remaining alleys on Chaoyang Street were full of guys in such costumes.
But the strange thing was that although those people stared at Xie An with vicious eyes, their footsteps did not move.
Bet right!
These guys don't dare to kill themselves in front of so many people here!
The joy of being in a desperate place made Xie An forget the sharp pain coming from the wound for a while.
Next, as long as you can blend in with the pedestrians on the road......
Thinking of this, Xie An quietly squeezed into the pedestrians coming and going, but to his consternation, the pedestrians on the road avoided them one after another after seeing him for some reason.
What's going on?
Just when Xie An was stunned, a mother and daughter came across the street, the daughter tilted her head and looked at Xie An for a long time, then pulled her mother's clothes, and said, "Mother, this big brother has shed a lot of blood......"
"Xin'er, don't look at it!" The woman immediately came with her daughter in tow.
Xie An subconsciously glanced at his chest, and he realized that the blood flowing from his body had penetrated the hem of his robe, so that a large piece of clothing on his chest was already red with blood.
Oops......
Looking at the pedestrians on the road looking at him as if they were looking at prisoners, Xie An secretly screamed that it was not good, because he knew that it was no longer possible for him to get away with these passers-by as if nothing had happened.
What to do?
What to do?!
Standing on the cross street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going around him, and looking at the assassins staring at him in those alleys, Xie An's forehead couldn't help but ooze beads of sweat, and later, his whole body began to heat up and sweat.
Xie An knew very well that this was due to the sweating caused by his serious injury, which was similar to the so-called return to light, and after a while, his whole body would gradually cool down, and if he couldn't bandage the wound in time, it wouldn't be long before he would die here due to excessive blood loss......
However, the Assassins followed so closely......
The sky was getting darker and darker, and even Chaoyang Street, one of the four main streets in Jijing, was gradually becoming less crowded on its roads, and Xie An could even feel the mood of the assassins who were waiting for their time in the alleys on the side.
To make matters worse, due to excessive blood loss, Xie An gradually felt cold, and even began to feel dizzy.
No way!
If you continue like this, you will surely die!
Secretly saying something to himself, Xie An vaguely saw that the assassins wearing hats were gradually unable to bear it, and ignored the panicked and stunned eyes of the pedestrians around him, and surrounded him.
I can only see it!
Gritting his teeth, Xie An was ruthless, using all his strength, and ran towards the other side of the street.
He remembered that there was an alley in front, and behind the alley, there was a river river.
Although the weather was still so cold at the end of March, Xie An couldn't control it so much, in his opinion, it was a fool's dream to get rid of this group of assassins who were proficient in tracking and flee to the Donggong Mansion!
It's better to take a gamble and jump into the river, after all, he Xie An has been proficient in blood since he was a child, and although he is seriously injured at the moment, Xie An is still a little sure.
Fifty steps......
Thirty steps......
Twenty Steps......
Xie An, who was running in the alley, could already see the stone guardrail of the river in front of him.
Just as he stepped out of the alley, a hand reached out from beside him, punched him in the abdomen, and then slammed his head against the wall next to him.
"Poof......" spit out a mouthful of blood, and Xie An, who was hit to the ground with Venus in his eyes, slowly fell to the wall, looking at the river close at hand with a slightly dull gaze......
It's just a little bit ......
The blood flowed down his body and gathered on the ground, and he no longer had the strength to struggle.
"Quite able to escape, stinky boy!" An assassin walked over, picked up Xie An, who was slumped in a pool of blood, and threw him against the wall to the side.
Although Xie An gradually lost consciousness of his body due to excessive blood loss, this time it still made his head tense in pain, and after landing on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Enough!" The Assassin who had initially slashed Xie An walked over and pulled aside the Assassin who was about to kick Xie An a few times, he seemed to be the head of the men.
I saw this person slowly squatting down in front of Xie An, tearing off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a slightly younger face, which didn't seem to be very old, only in his twenties.
Silently looking at Xie An, who was leaning against the wall, with more breath and less air intake, he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, although I have no grievances, but ...... My name is Ding Qiu, a native of Jinling, and when I go to the Netherworld, if the king of Hades asks, tell him that the person who killed you is called Ding Qiu! -- lest you be a ghost who died unjustly, and it will be difficult to be reincarnated in the future! β
"The assassin of the dangerous building, is really ...... There's a work ethic, ahem......"
"You know?" Ding Qiu was a little surprised.
Xie An grinned, shook his head, and said slowly, "No, I have touched it, it seems to be called ...... Xu Bi? You...... You know what? β
"Xu Bi?" Ding Qiu was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "It's indeed my brother in the dangerous building, but there has been no news for some days......
"Hey, hey," Xie An smiled when he heard this, and said with a grin, "Ah, because...... I'll kill you! β
"......" Ding Qiu's face changed slightly when he heard this.
"What did you say, stinky boy? You...... You actually killed Xu Bi? One of the Assassins came up in a rage and grabbed Xie An's shirt.
"Don't stop yet! - Have you forgotten the rules of my dangerous building?! Ding Qiu glared at the assassin fiercely, and the assassin froze when he heard this, hesitated, and let go of Xie An.
Frowning and glancing at the assassin, Ding Qiu turned his head to look at Xie An and said in a deep voice, "Is there anything you want to explain?" ββThe employer did not buy your family's life, and if you have any regrets to explain, I can convey them to you. β
"That's really ...... Ahem," Xie An coughed repeatedly, spit out a mouthful of blood, looked at the assassin named Ding Qiu in front of him with a wry smile, and said with difficulty, "It's the bastard thing of Prince Li Wei...... Tell you to kill me, right? β
Ding Qiu frowned slightly, but he didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes!" β
"That guy...... How much money will I buy my life? By now, Xie An had lost much hope for himself.
"Two million taels!"
"Ahem, two million taels, it's really a lot of money...... Where's the silver......" As he spoke, Xie An coughed twice and said bitterly, "If I ask you to kill that guy, it will be more...... How much silver? β
"That's the current crown prince, the prince of a country, I don't take on the task of assassinating the royal family, sorry......" Ding Qiu said hesitantly.
"Even if you take it, I don't have that much silver......" Xie An leaned his head against the wall and slowly closed his eyes.
The stunning faces of Liang Qiu Wu, Yi Yi, and Eldest Sun Xiangyu appeared in his mind one after another.
I'm sorry, dance......
Xiangyu ......
Iyi ......
And also......
Following the third daughter, Xie An's mind flashed with the face of a woman......
[β¦β¦ Within ten years, I will become a great official, I will become an important minister of the imperial court, and when the time comes, ......]
It seems that he has no chance to fulfill his original vow......
Shh What a shame......
"......" looked at Xie An slowly closing his eyes, a calm look gradually appeared on his face, Ding Qiu sighed slightly, stood up, and said to his companion beside him, "Start smart!" β
"Hmm!" The assassin nodded, pulled the dagger from his waist, glanced at Xie An's blood-stained neck, and slashed it down.
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind struck, only to hear a snort, Xie An was not doing anything, but the assassin's right hand was broken at the wrist.
With a thud, the dagger fell to the ground, carrying the bloody hand with it.
The Assassin reacted to his fallen hand, clenching the severed wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and fell to the ground in pain, screaming in pain.
"Who?! - Hugh to hide! Ding Qiu didn't think that this kind of change would happen, and he looked around and shouted.
"Hide, hide?" A cold snort came from the darkness in the distance.
Including Ding Qiu, more than a dozen assassins nearby subconsciously turned their heads to look, and then their faces changed slightly.
They were shocked to find that in the darkness, there was a beautiful woman carrying a war knife taller than her own, walking here step by step, and said coldly, "You wait...... What did you do to my husband? - You are so bold! β
As soon as the words fell, a hurricane seemed to blow out of thin air beside the woman, blowing everyone and couldn't open their eyes.
"Liangqiu Dance!" Looking at the murderous look on the woman's face, Ding Qiu swallowed his saliva and read out the identity of the person who came word by word.
This kind of momentum......
Such a deterrent......
It's even stronger than the eldest sister!
is worthy of being one of the four towns of Jijing, the head of the Liangqiu family, and the woman who killed the wolf of Cangyuan on the battlefield in northern Hebei!
"Withdraw!" Ding Qiu immediately shouted.
"......" The dozen or so assassins looked at Ding Qiu in amazement, and one of them said in disbelief, "Brother Ding, what did you say?" Remove? That kid's head hasn't been taken yet......"
Before he could finish speaking, a chopping wind struck and slashed at him, splashing blood, his body flew upside down more than ten zhang out of thin air, and fell to the ground fiercely, without movement.
Ding Qiu subconsciously looked at Liang Qiuwu, but saw that she was holding the war knife in one hand, and she kept the chopping action expressionlessly.
"You stinky woman, you dare to ......" The Assassins were shocked and angry, and pulled out their weapons one after another.
"Don't! - Withdraw! Remove! Ding Qiu yelled, but he was still a step slower.
Under his shocked gaze, Liang Qiu Wuxiu stared, ran over in a few steps, and slashed the war knife in his hand with his right hand, but when he heard two crisp sounds, the daggers in the hands of the two assassins were suddenly shattered, and he was slashed in the abdomen by the war knife, and flew out upside down, banging twice, and crashing into the wall not far from Xie An, life and death unknown.
"Y-how dare you ......" One of the assassins was furious, and rushed towards Liang Qiu Wu with a furious face.
However, Liang Qiuwu didn't look at him, and with a backhand wave, he slashed it in half, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the sword in his right hand turned and slashed towards an assassin beside him.
The assassin was frightened, and hurriedly resisted the blade in his hand, and suddenly, he felt an indescribable force attacking him, and his knees could not bear this huge force, and he fell to the ground, which was able to block the strength of Liang Qiu Wu's sword.
"Huh...... Heh, what Yan Hu Ji...... Nothing remarkable! β
Glancing at the assassin beside him who was pressed to his knees by the blade of his sword, and still spoke to himself, Liang Qiuwu snorted coldly, adding a little force to his hand.
There was a clatter, and the masonry from the Assassin's knees burst open.
"Ahh Under the jaw-dropping gaze of the Assassins, the Assassin collapsed to the ground as if he had no bones, screaming miserably.
Ding Qiu swallowed his saliva secretly because he saw that the woman had crushed most of the bones of her companion with her right hand alone......
What a strange force!
"Whew!" The sound of a blade slicing into a human body rang out, and the assassin's screams finally stopped.
Watching Liang Qiuwu pull out the blade of his companion's body, step over the corpse, and walk in the direction of himself and the others, the assassins looked at each other and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
But a few of the assassins screamed and pounced, a burst of swords and blood splattered, and Liang Qiu Wu stepped over their corpses with expressionless faces.
"Yanhu Ji ......" looked at the terrible woman getting closer and closer to him, swallowed his saliva, suddenly his face was a little ruthless, and he held the blade in his hand, and pounced towards Xie An, who was lying by the wall.
Seeing this, Liang Qiu Wuxiu's eyes froze, and he immediately threw out the treasure knife in his hand, only to hear a sneer, the battle knife that was more than eight feet long, after penetrating the assassin's chest, still had the strength to nailed the assassin alive to the wall a few feet away in the air.
Even Ding Qiu, who had killed countless people, was shocked and horrified.
This is the head of the [Four Ji], [Yanhu Ji] Liangqiu Dance?! The most powerful female hero in my Great Zhou?!
Ding Qiu looked at Liang Qiuwu quietly, and watched her slowly walk to Xie An, who was covered in blood.
"Ann? Quiet? Wake up, wake up, it's my ......" squatting down, Liang Qiuwu gently patted Xie An's face.
At this moment, Xie An was already in a semi-coma due to excessive blood loss, and when he heard this, he raised his head with difficulty, opened his mouth slightly, and before he could say anything, his head hung down again.
Liang Qiuwu's eyes were shocked, and he stretched out to probe Xie An's snort, and saw that there was still breath, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the blood from the corner of Xie An's mouth with his hand, stroked his face, and said softly in a low voice, "Hold on for a while, An, when I kill these thieves for your wife, I will go back to the house with you...... It only takes a moment......"
Every time she said a word, the murderous intent in her eyes became stronger, and her whole body trembled slightly, and it was not difficult to guess that she was deliberately trying to curb the anger in her heart.
Her eyes became colder and colder, murderous, and heavier, and unbelievably her hair and skin gradually turned a little red.
Gas...... Enhanced ......
Ding Qiu's eyes widened, he subconsciously sensed a crisis, and the assassin's instinct told him to hurry up and get out of this place.
"Bear!" A wave of hot air spread out in all directions, and when Ding Qiu looked at the woman not far away in front of him, he was stunned.
When he saw the Liangqiu dance at this moment, the qi around his body was as strong as the substance, and from a distance, this woman seemed to be in a hazy flame, and her momentum was compelling.
At this moment, Ding Qiu finally understood why the leader of the Wairong who led the army to invade the Great Zhou back then, the warrior who was regarded as the wolf of the Cangyuan by the grassland tribe, would call this woman like this before he died......
Yan Hu Ji!
