Chapter 247: Assassin in the Woods

However, after all, Xu Shu is also a person who has experienced a lot of ups and downs, although she is already in a hurry in her heart, her brain still quickly calmed down. "Wanqing, he still didn't bring anyone to the barracks this time, and Dian Wei is not in the Taishou Mansion, you immediately go to inform Shan Huai and Liang Rui, and send the spy manpower to come over for reinforcements. I'll chase it first! ”

Hearing this, Ling Wanqing suddenly became anxious, shook her head and said, "Sister, I'll chase after you, you go and inform Shan Huai and Liang Rui." ”

But Xu Shu didn't listen so much at all, picked up the Mo Evil Sword beside him and ran to the door. His face also lost his former liveliness, revealing Yan SΓΉ who had not appeared for a long time. "Sister, this is an order!"

As soon as these words came out, Ling Wanqing couldn't help but open her mouth, but in the end, she still couldn't speak. nodded helplessly, bowed down and said, "No!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Shu didn't say much, turned around and ran away.

Ling Wanqing looked at Xu Shu's back, shook her head worriedly, and did not slack off, and immediately followed out of the door to find Shan Huai and Liang Rui.

At this moment, Wang Xu had just left the city and was riding his horse to the fortress in the west of the city. Although the sergeant fortress of Natun is not far from the county seat of Quanling, it also looks like a few miles away, and there is a section of the road in the middle that is separated by sparse woods.

Some time ago, Wang Xu was familiar with this place, so he didn't have any worries, and galloped away all the way.

But when he was passing through the path in the forest, Wang Xu suddenly had a strange feeling. It is a kind of oppression of potential, and this kind of potential can only be found in a warrior, and it is also a master.

In an instant, Wang Xu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, especially the quiet heart-beating atmosphere around him, which aggravated the uneasiness in his heart. Involuntarily raised his vigilance.

"Huh!" At this moment, among the rotten weeds and fallen leaves in front of him, a rope was suddenly pulled up, just blocking the way.

Although they were already vigilant, the inertia of the horses was too fast to rein in the horses. Seeing that he was about to trip over the rope, Wang Xu couldn't care so much, and at the last moment, his right hand slammed on the horse's back, and the person was already in the air, and his right foot was lightly cushioned on the saddle, and he had jumped off the horse's back.

After the figure landed, it rolled and unloaded the momentum on its body. And the warrior's sword at his waist also pulled out of its scabbard with a bang. It's just that Wang Xu's beloved horse was tripped and sturdy, flew out entirely, and fell heavily to the ground.

However, Wang Xu didn't have the heart to check his injuries at the moment, and from the surrounding woods, nearly twenty people had quickly rushed out, either jumping from the trees or rushing out of the grass. By the time Wang Xu jumped up from the ground, he was already surrounded.

"Who are you? Why are you in my way? Looking at this group of strange-looking and murderous people, Wang Xu suddenly frowned.

"Up!" It's a pity that the other party didn't say much at all, the first person glanced at Wang Xu, and immediately ordered an attack, except for him and the other four people, the rest of the people were killed.

Although there are many people on the other side, Wang Xu's current martial arts are not what they used to be, and he is not afraid at all. As soon as his eyes flicked, he swung his sword to meet him.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xu fought with this group of assassins, and in the leap and turn, the Wang family's swordsmanship was already used with all his strength, without the slightest mercy in his hands, and he used all his strength when he started. With a touch of ghostly light, the sword of the cadre opened and closed, showing an unrivaled domineering.

The group of assassins probably didn't expect Wang Xu's martial arts to be so powerful, and they were caught off guard, and suddenly two rough men fell to the ground, although they didn't die, they couldn't stand up.

Shocked by Wang Xu's sudden display of martial arts, the assassins' attack suddenly slowed down, and they surrounded Wang Xu again, but they were not in a hurry to attack.

But in fact, Wang Xu was also very shocked at the moment. I used all my strength to shoot myself, and I used a killer move. But only two of them were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and the martial arts of this group of people are very strong!

If it's one-on-one, one-on-two, or even one-on-five, it's easy to win, but the opponent has nearly 20 people, so it's very difficult to deal with. Especially now that the other side has increased its vigilance. What's more, behind this group of assassins, there was its leader and four other people who had not made a move, which was obviously higher than the martial arts of this group of assassins.

This time, it's a big problem......

Thinking of this, Wang Xu also felt a chill in his heart, and began to think about how to break through.

But the other party did not waste time, and after the leader saw the martial arts that Wang Xu had just revealed, he was not in a hurry to let the assassins besiege again. Instead, he pondered for a while, with a hesitant look on his face.

However, he finally gritted his teeth fiercely and said angrily: "Formation! ”

With these words, the surrounding assassins didn't say much, and directly ran around Wang Xu in the middle, and after a while, they formed a strange formation. Some people are in front and some people are behind, and the distance between them shows a regular change.

Wang Xu knew the formation deeply, and he was happy when he heard the other party say that the formation was formed, because then he could seize the weakness of the formation and take the opportunity to escape. With the speed of his own free steps, as well as the escape kung fu he practiced back then, it is not easy for these people to surround him again.

But after taking a look, his heart suddenly cooled, this was not a formation at all. It's a set of combined attack techniques, which are just to maximize everyone's strength. Although this kind of combined attack technique is not as powerful as the formation, correspondingly, he does not have any weaknesses.

"Up!" Seeing the formation of the formation, the leader of the assassins standing behind everyone no longer hesitated, and immediately shouted coldly.

With the sound, the surrounding assassins suddenly swarmed in, forming three echelons and taking turns to attack.

In an instant, Wang Xu's pressure increased greatly. The sword of the cadre is swung rapidly, but it can only be resisted, and there is no ability to fight back at all.

Although the other party is an enemy, Wang Xu also has to admire the person who designed this set of combined attack techniques. These people were divided into three batches to attack in turn, but there was no pause in between, and they cooperated very tacitly. It felt like an attack from one person, and an attack from all sides.

At this moment, Wang Xu's heart was really a little anxious. It is more than three miles away from the county seat, and about four miles away from the fortress.

And only Xu Shu knew about going to the fortress by herself, how could she know what she had encountered here when she was in the Taishou Mansion.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but become more and more eager, and immediately couldn't help but speak: "Who are you?" I have no grievances with you, so why do you want to kill me? ”

Seeing that Wang Xu only had the ability to parry at the moment, and had no power to fight back, the assassin led by him showed a slight smile, stroked the beard under his jaw and said: "Wang Xu, this is caused by yourself, no one else is to blame, if you want to blame it, you shouldn't offend so many people!" ”

"Offended, I, Wang Xu, reported to the country, and went down to An Limin, even if it was useless, but there was no big fault, I don't know who I offended?" Wang Xu's body moved and leaped, and his sword flew to resist the attacks around him, but he was also not slow in his mouth, and he had to talk to the other party as much as possible. Hoping for some clues, but also hoping for a little delay, because when their leader spoke, the Assassins were not so fierce.

"Humph!" Hearing this, the leader of the assassins suddenly snorted coldly. "You don't need to know this, I'm just acting on orders, if you want to blame yourself, blame yourself!"

What do you mean? Today I fall into your hands, confess! But you have to let me die to understand! Wang Xu kept talking nonsense in his mouth, but his head was running rapidly, looking for a chance to get out.

"Huh! Why did such a smart person as General Wang say such a thing at this time? This time, before the leader-like man could answer, a masked man in black beside him spoke first.

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Wang Xu to answer, and he already let out a mocking laugh. "Tsk! Tut! Tut! Are you trying to stall and find a way out? Ay...... As a dignified general of Zhennan, the governor of Jingnan, and the marquis of Taoyang, why did you come up with such a stupid trick? What a disappointment! ”

Hearing these ridicules, Wang Xu was not angry at all, but he faintly felt that this person's voice was a little familiar. But I can't remember what it looks like.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

In the blink of an eye, the screeching sound from the exchange of weapons became more and more dense, and Wang Xu's body was obviously not as agile as at the beginning, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his head.

But in his heart, he always remembered that voice, no matter what, he must know who was trying to harm him. This man's voice is a bit harsh and sharp, where have you heard it?

Sharp?

Just thinking of this word, Wang Xu's mind suddenly flashed, and he suddenly remembered why this voice was familiar. It's not that I've heard it, but this kind of voice is very unique, and only adult eunuchs will make such a strange sound.

In an instant, Jian Shuo's arrogant face suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately exclaimed: "You are a eunuch? ”

Because it was too unexpected, Wang Xu also lost his mind for a moment, and his body involuntarily stagnated slightly. At this moment, I was in the midst of a bitter battle, how could I tolerate this little mistake, I only felt a cold back, and there was a sharp pain, and a sword had been drawn on my back.

Fortunately, Wang Xu reacted quickly, and the stagnation was only for a moment, so it was just scratched by the edge. If it's so strong that it's cut down, then it's really going to be here for your life.

With a strong will to survive, Wang Xu snorted, but gritted his teeth and held on. The Commander's sword was abruptly retracted, and he fought with the Assassins in a furious face. But he shouted violently: "Jian Shuo is so bold, he dares to assassinate important ministers of the court without permission, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will raid his family and exterminate his family?" ”

It was originally a sentence under anger, but it made Wang Xu have an idea, and he suddenly had a way to escape. "I don't know who you really are, but you must be a eunuch. There is no one else who wants to kill me except Jian Shuo. Once I die, Your Majesty will definitely send someone to investigate, do you think this will be seamless? Don't you think that the officials of the court all eat dry food? ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu's tone changed, and he looked at the assassins around him and said, "It's too late for you to stop now, if I really have any accidents." His Majesty is bound to investigate thoroughly, and when the time comes, the eunuchs can use their power to deceive His Majesty, but those of you who do it yourself will inevitably become scapegoats. When the time comes, it will be you who will rob your family and destroy your clan, do you really think that they will really treat you as their own? Joke! This group of eunuchs will not believe in anyone except themselves, and once the incident happens, it is their usual trick to protect themselves. What kind of people they are, the whole world knows, are you still so stupid? ”

After speaking, Wang Xugan swept his sword violently, flew up, and forced all the approaching assassins back, but he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha...... Okay, I, Wang Xu, died here today, and I won't suffer a loss to be buried with you and your family! Come on! ”

The effect of these words was good, and the offensive in the hands of those assassins was obviously weakened, and they were obviously scrupling. Even the leader at the moment behind him was a little hesitant, after all, Wang Xu was right, once it was strictly investigated, the middle men of the facial features were not vegetarians. And Wang Xu himself seems to vaguely understand Jian Shuo's intentions, let these heroes kill him, and when the time comes, he can completely push it away, after all, he has never come forward at all.

But at this moment, the masked eunuch suddenly screamed: "Don't listen to Wang Xu's nonsense, you have now attacked the important ministers of the imperial court, as long as you kill him, we can naturally solve the problem at the other end of the imperial court." If he gets out alive, you will die without a place to bury. ”

This confrontation, the leader hesitated, and the assassins were in a dilemma, and the combined attack suddenly loosened a little.

Seeing the opportunity, Wang Xu stopped being verbose at all, "Bell! With a sound, he grabbed the long knife chopped by the two people on the left, spun around, and was stabbed by the person behind him, and the person was already rushing towards the two people in front of him, and he pierced through the gap between the two.

By the time the Assassins came to their senses, it was too late. Wang Xu stepped on the figure-of-eight, flashed the sandwich of the two, and his right foot suddenly glared, and he was already jumping in the air. Flying back with a sword, repulsing the several people who rushed to attack behind him, at this moment, the people had already escaped from the encirclement.

Seeing this, the leader of the assassins was immediately horrified, did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately shouted: "Stop him! ”

As he spoke, he and the other three people beside him were also in shape, and they quickly ran in three directions, intending to intercept.

Finally created a little chance to escape, how could Wang Xu give up, seeing the three of them coming, he gritted his teeth, and his speed did not decrease. Facing the two of them, he jumped up, and cut his sword into a graceful semicircle, so that he could not slash towards the three of them.

"Bell!" There was a crisp sound on the ground, and Wang Xu relied on his strong internal force and arm strength to suppress the leader completely. And with the help of the force of the anti-shock, the man continued to rise and spun over his head.

But the long swords of the other two also stabbed at this time, although Wang Xu's figure was tall, and he spun out. But the two of them were not slow to react, and as soon as the sword momentum turned, they had already slashed towards Wang Xu, who had nowhere to borrow strength in the air.
