411. Two Waves of Assassins
The two of them guarded the path of the friendly team, hiding in a leafy tree, so that they could see from a distance whether the team was coming, and they could also have a full view of the surrounding wind and grass to prevent the sudden appearance of bandits.
"I don't understand why they chose this path."
Maybe it was because the surroundings were too quiet, or maybe it was the sugar gourd before that eased the relationship, and Zhaoyu actually took the initiative to talk to Qi Wushuang.
"If it were me, I would definitely obediently take the official road, so that at least it would be safe."
"Dasheng was afraid that the emperor would withdraw from the marriage, so he made such a show, so that the emperor had no choice." Qi Wushuang explained lightly. "Hmph, this set of threats is very well played."
Then he frowned, "But...... I'm also very strange, it's the second princess who sent the kiss, and it's not the third princess who married Di Luochen and was widowed later, why did Dasheng insist that our side would withdraw from the marriage? β
"Is the princess a handicap?"
Zhaoyu also sensed that something was wrong, and followed Qi Wushuang's thoughts.
"In order to marry his daughter, Dasheng really took great pains."
She said teasingly.
Qi Wushuang shook his head, "If it's really a disabled person, I'll find out sooner or later if I send it over...... If the second princess really has a problem, then since Dasheng wants to be friendly, why didn't he send their eldest princess? β
His question went unanswered, as the two heard the sound of horses' hooves from far to near.
They held their breath and looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw a group of men and horses coming towards them.
Zhao Yu roughly counted them, and aligned Wushuang Dao, "There are about twenty followers." β
"So little?" Qi Wushuang was even more surprised. "It stands to reason that there should be more than 100 people in this kind of friendly team."
"Is it fake?"
"I can't say it, let's take a look first."
Qi Wushuang clenched his waist card and waited for the arrival of the team.
As long as Dasheng's envoy showed the identification, he and Zhaoyu could personally escort the team to the capital.
Although it is not completely safe in the capital, at least it is much better than this mountain road.
Suddenly, Qi Wushuang heard some abnormal rumors.
His heart couldn't help but lift, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
Soon, the fears in his heart became a reality.
A group of black-clad assassins suddenly rode past behind them, heading straight for the team.
Qi Wushuang and Zhao Yu glanced at each other, jumped down with a light skill, each kicked off an assassin, and drove their horses to wave the reins, and galloped towards the team first.
The leader of the assassins did not expect such a change, and was shocked, and hurriedly shouted to the people behind him, "Chase! Kill them! β
Seeing the assassins outflanking from the side, Qi Wushuang did not hesitate and drew his sword to fight them immediately.
He played with the sword in his hand, and with the sword energy alone, he swept the two assassins off their horses, causing them to be seriously injured by the horses' hooves.
Seeing that Qi Wushuang's side had the upper hand, the leader of the assassins was furious, and roared angrily with the reins, "Release the arrows!" β
As soon as the words fell, Qi Wushuang saw that the assassins on both sides of him had pulled out their crossbow arrows.
In an instant, sharp arrows rushed to his face, Qi Wushuang was shocked, but he only had time to open the crossbow arrows in front of him.
I thought that he must have been hit by an arrow in the back this time, but unexpectedly, the pain he imagined did not appear.
When he turned his head, he saw that it was Zhaoyu who was blocking behind him at some point and cutting off the enemy.
Qi Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief and said very naturally, "Then I'll hand it over to you behind my back." β
As soon as the words came out, even he himself was stunned.
In the past, he would only say this sentence to Emperor Qianling, but later there was another Ye Jingjing.
He never thought that he would say such a thing to Zhaoyu, who had a suspicious identity.
Zhaoyu was also slightly stunned, but her reaction was obviously faster, "Each other." β
After that, the two actually smiled heartily and fought the enemy in front of them at the same time.
The Assassins were no match for them, and the two quickly cleaned up the miscellaneous soldiers and captured the Assassin leader alive.
"Say, where are you from?!"
Qi Wushuang pressed the tip of his sword against the throat of the assassin leader and said sharply.
At this time, the welcoming team also came behind them, and Zhaoyu took Qi Wushuang's waist card and stepped forward to negotiate with him.
"We ...... We are passing bandits! The leader of the assassins said viciously.
Qi Wushuang sneered, "Which kind of bandit would be you to dress uniformly like this?" I think you're the killer sent by the force! β
When the Assassin leader saw that his lie had been revealed, he immediately gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Qi Wushuang knew that these assassins were all people who had seen the great wind and waves, and they would not reveal half a word without seeing blood, so he cut off his little finger without hesitation.
The ladies in the team were immediately frightened and screamed, and even the leading envoy frowned, feeling that it was too cruel.
"I can't even look past this kind of thing, the people of Dasheng really lack knowledge." Zhaoyu sneered.
The envoy glared at her, daring to be angry.
The leader of the assassins, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and said nothing, not even paying attention to his own hands.
This made Qi Wushuang a little surprised, "It's a man." If you are honest, I am willing to intercede for you and ...... lightly."
Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong and rushed to pry open the mouth of the Assassin leader.
However, it was too late, and all he saw was a puddle of green liquid on his tongue, and then the Assassin leader rolled his eyes, his body twitched a few times, and he was not breathing.
"I thought he was gritting his teeth to resist, but I didn't expect that he actually killed himself by crushing the poison in his teeth......"
Qi Wushuang was stunned, with a look of guilt on his face.
Zhaoyu's heart moved, and he stepped forward to comfort, "It's not your fault, after all, they ......"
Before the words fell, she only felt a pain in her shoulder, and it was actually a sharp arrow that pierced her left shoulder!
Qi Wushuang was shocked, fell off the horse according to the rain, and was about to get up, but then an arrow was nailed to her arm, nailing her to the ground and unable to move.
"And the ambush, run!"
She didn't care about her injuries and shouted anxiously at Qi Wushuang.
Qi Wushuang wanted to stand in front of the Heqin team to protect them, but his body involuntarily ran towards Zhaoyu, wanting to see her injuries.
Before everyone in the team could react, a group of people wearing hats jumped out of the bushes next to them and surrounded them in the center.
Seeing that there were so many people, Qi Wushuang regretted that he had only made a naΓ―ve decision with Zhaoyu.
Zhaoyu smiled bitterly, "If I knew this, it would be better to transfer an army and come over." β
There were curtains hanging from the hats of those people, blocking their faces, but Qi Wushuang vaguely felt that these people's outfits were somewhat familiar.
