There are not a few people who think the same as Zhou Lie, after Zhou Lie and the three of them entered the bottom of the long table, several musicians holding musical instruments also got in, and then a gorgeously dressed female singer also hid in, and a few children held hands and got under the table with a nervous face, and for a while, the bottom of the table that was a little empty became crowded.

After a while, after hearing the commotion outside, he was about to leave, and it was at this time that a cry for help came out.

"Wait, don't you hear someone calling for help? Ania grabbed the two boys and said uncertainly.

"I heard it too. Zhou Lie said with certainty, "It may be someone who was pushed down in the flow of people, let's find it." ”

"Hmm. Byron nodded, in fact, there was no need to explain, they all found that the crowd in the distance was still running towards the exit of the square in a mess, leaving a few lying civilians in the relatively empty place from the center, that is, a few unlucky people who accidentally fell in the flow of people and could not get up again.

Everyone did not speak, for fear that they would not be able to hear the small cry for help.

Then they saw three men armed with daggers, besieging by two guards, and the men behind them.

"That's Archon Augustus!" Ania was the first to identify one of the besieged men.

And that cry for help was made by a teenager beside Augustus.

If you don't see it, you naturally don't have to care about it, but if you see it, Zhou Lie has to take care of it.

So there was the right kick, and the man who was now in his hands could see it, but he didn't expect someone to come out of the air, and his dagger only ended up cutting through Augustus's clothes, and did not hurt the other party again.

After kicking one person away, Zhou Lie didn't give the other two people time to react, and while the two Black Crow Army soldiers were still fighting with the guards, he directly smashed one of them into the back of the head with a punch.

Seeing the arrival of help, the two guards also directly discarded the weapons in their hands and grabbed the soldiers of the Black Crow Army who were fighting with them, but the two were restricted by the other party this time.

Zhou Lie didn't spare his hand at all, and the two Crow Army soldiers fainted directly under the violent two punches, leaving the Crow Army soldier who was kicked away Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran away with a roll.

It was only then that Scott finally relented, threw the unconscious assassin in his hand to the ground, and sat on the ground himself gasping for breath.

Zhou Lie glanced at Augustus's state and found that the dagger did not penetrate deeply, and it should not have hurt his lungs, but Augustus was pale and looked bad, probably due to weakness caused by blood loss.

"Thank you for your help. Augustus covered his wounds and thanked Zhou Lie weakly, "I didn't expect to see you here." ”

"In my last year, I just came here with my friends to play. Zhou Lie shrugged his shoulders and expressed his helplessness, "It seems that you and I are unlucky in every sense." ”

"Hehe, indeed. ”

"Don't hold on, lie down, and don't pull out the dagger, go to the infirmary and pull it out again, now the dagger can still stop the blood from coming out. Zhou Lie said.

Behind him, Ania and Byron also rushed over, and the two looked at the situation in amazement, and then saluted Augustus.

"I wonder if there will be any assassins coming next, please help us protect Lord Augustus until the guards on the periphery arrive?" Scott gasped and said in a respectful tone, from the conversation between Zhou Lie and Augustus just now, the guard found that this oriental boy seemed to know Augustus.

Zhou Lie glanced at Scott, smiled, and said, "When the crowd disperses, we will leave, and we can take care of it together during this time." ”

Seeing that Zhou Lie did not refuse, the two guards were also relieved, Bashir put Augustine on the ground, and Zhou Lie took off his clothes and began to check the injury.

"Today's bonfire party is a waste of water. Zhou Lie said regretfully, he was still looking forward to it.

"The Frost Festival will not end because of this little thing, if the whole city is under martial law just because I was attacked, these people will probably be happy. Augustus said in a weak tone, "Bashir, go and light a bonfire, our tradition cannot be broken here."

"What's the point of lighting a campfire at this time when everyone has run away?"

"It's a sign, it's a tradition, and in your East, there are similar things that must be passed on. Augustus said.

Bashir listened to Augustus, nodded, turned around and picked up the torch standing beside him, and threw it into the campfire.

The oil-coated bonfire was instantly lit and burst into flames, and the pillar of fire that soared into the sky in the dark night was like a lighthouse, and it was conspicuous.

The members of the orchestra who followed Zhou Lie glanced at each other, tacitly began to play the instruments at hand, the soft and gentle music sounded, and the gorgeously dressed female singer saw this, cleared her throat, stood on the podium, and her tactful and beautiful singing voice sounded.

"Poof. Zhou Lie laughed inexplicably when he saw this scene.

There was a wounded man with a dagger lying on the ground, two exhausted guards, the surrounding area of the square was in a mess, and the crowd in the distance was still noisy and crowded outward.

However, as the clear voice of the female singer unfolded, the musicians played harder, and the soft music spread around, Ania and Byron seemed to be infected, and the two began to hum the rhythm softly, and the children who were originally nervous began to clap their hands and babble along after hearing the music and singing.

The tune gradually changed from soft and slow at the beginning to passionate and bright, and even Zhou Lie, who thought it was funny at first, felt the power coming from this music, which seemed to encourage him to join in, and the bright drum beat seemed to hit his heartstrings at once, telling a thing called hope.

The chaotic crowd seemed to hear the sound from the center of the square, and the commotion gradually subsided, and some people even walked back to the campfire, clapping their hands with the people around them, and then, as if the applause was contagious, the number of people gathered gradually increased, and the crowd that had been panicked and wanted to leave was attracted by the singing, and returned to the square again, they picked up the people who fell to the ground and groaned, and handed them over to relatives, or the doctors and guards who came to treat them.

The outer guards were also able to make their way through the crowd to Augustus to protect the consul.

With the soprano reaching the extreme, the song finally stopped, and the people around applauded, Zhou Lie came back to his senses at this moment and found that he had just been fascinated by this performance

"This is our victory!" Augustus stood in front of the stage, the dagger on his chest not yet removed.

"Someone wants to kill me, they want to ruin this festival, but that's impossible, it's my tradition, even if I'm not here, our frost festival, our bonfire, our prayers for the future will not be cut off by this. ”

"You don't need to worry about me, don't you think I'm fine, it's just a small dagger, and when the time comes, it'll be fine, tonight, the bonfire, still! Let's immerse ourselves in the banquet and the music again!"

Augustus raised his right fist and swung it into the air, and this brief speech once again aroused the enthusiasm of the people.

"Let the chefs make new dishes, and also, treat the wounded quickly. After Augustus stepped down, he commanded al-Bashir.

Zhou Lie looked at the scene around him, the people were cheering, the singing and music began again, it was hard to imagine that it was still in chaos not long ago, Augustus nodded to him, and left the scene with the support of the guards.

Bashir was left behind to deal with the mess, pacify the populace, and host the gala.

This was something that Zhou Lie didn't expect, just one song, the square was restored, and the celebration actually had the momentum of restarting.

Wounded Augustus, escorted by the guards, got into the carriage and drove towards the consul's mansion.

After the previous chaos, there were not as many people returning to the square as before, but fortunately this made it easier for Bashir to restore order at the scene, but most of the people in the city still attended the bonfire in the central square, and as the carriage slowly moved forward, away from the square, the pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce.

The guards guarding the carriage carefully watched their surroundings for the Assassins rushing out of the shadows.

The road was uneventful, and after only one block in front of them, they could reach the consul's mansion, and when they saw that their destination was approaching, all the guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shoot the arrows," Jike ordered in the shadows.

As the crossbow strings vibrate, several crossbow arrows flew out of the dark alleys on the side of the street and shot at the marching convoy, most of the guards guarding them fell in an instant, and several crossbow arrows also shot into the windows of the carriage, but fortunately Augustus was lying on the seat and was not hit by the crossbow arrows.

Just a few dozen minutes ago, Jike led people to ambush here.

At first, he let the crossbow bolts attack in the distance just to mess up the bonfire party and mess up the celebration, but the actual killing move was to assassinate in the crowd later, so that he could hide behind the scenes, but in the case of his subordinates' misses, he had to strike again.

These crossbowmen were the same crossbowmen who had been in the square at the beginning, and after the first attack, they returned to Jik's side and laid an ambush on both sides of the road, knowing that he would inevitably take this road back to the mansion after Augustus was wounded, so he set up an ambush in this excellent position.

After the first volley, the crows hiding on both sides were all dispatched, and the remaining guards regrouped to surround the carriage and begin to defend themselves against the attack.

But this attack was no longer like in the center of the square, as the leader of the Crows was the lieutenant, Jike had the strength to be as strong as Doug, and these guards, who had been blinded by a volley, could not stop the opponent's attack.

Seeing Jike appear in the carriage, Doug didn't seem surprised, "It's really you." ”

"What's the use of you knowing, you traitor. Jike reached out and pulled out the dagger in Augustus's chest, and relocated his hand to his thigh.

"You will be brought to the judgment seat and confess your guilt in person, and those Nanban will return to their rightful place. ”
