With a "click", the man in black who rushed over first had already stepped into the carriage, jumped high, and slashed at Xu Rui's back with the cold long knife in his hand, Xu Rui stepped aside to the wheel, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The long knife slashed through the air, embedded deep in the wooden wheel, and two palm-sized crossbow arrows hit the hearts of the black-clothed people.

The man in black fell down with a muffled grunt, but two more killers came from the other direction.

At this moment, a black shadow jumped down from the wall, and in an instant, a long sword as thin as a cicada's wings flashed coldly, and the two killers were suddenly separated, and two long pillars of blood erupted from their bare necks.

Killing the two of them in an instant, the black shadow immediately flew up non-stop, and instantly came to the other killer, and a sword was in front of him, cutting off his right arm without any delay, and before he could scream, another sword cut the man's throat.

"Young master, follow!"

The black shadow scolded, threw a brand-new Qingluan crossbow at Xu Rui, lightly touched the carriage with one foot, and flew a few feet in the air to the roadside fence.

The long sword in her hand was like a snake and scorpion, fast and accurate, and she struck the wall twice, and the two killers who had just climbed the wall were cut off their neck bones and planted on the ground.

At the same time, Xu Rui took the new Qingluan crossbow and turned around and fired continuously, and in just two breaths, he emptied a magazine, and the three black shadows rushing towards the carriage fell to the ground in response.

At this point, the twelve killers who had been ambushed here in advance had all died, and it was only a minute since Xu Rui took out the first Qingluan crossbow.

However, before Xu Rui could take a breath, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horses' hooves behind him, and his face suddenly changed.

"Shadow Girl, let's go, there's a killer nearby!"

Xu Rui exclaimed, got into the carriage, and the shadow on the wall flew down and landed firmly on the carriage.

Shadow grabbed the reins of the horse with both hands and shook it vigorously, and the reins of the horse snapped on the horse, and the two horses suddenly roared, and rushed forward with four hooves.

"What's going on?"

As soon as she saw Xu Rui get into the carriage, Cao Wanxi, who was already frightened, hurriedly asked.

Xu Rui didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he threw the two empty Qingluan crossbows in his hand to An Ge, and without commanding, An Ge immediately skillfully changed the magazine and rewound it.

He lifted the leather cushions at the back of the carriage and pulled out two large boxes from the hollow chairs.

"Today is the dark chess ambush of the King of Wuling of the Southern Dynasty, probably just to kill me, so I let you go but you didn't go, and now I have hit the pond fish."

Xu Rui opened the box and fiddled with the contents while explaining to Cao Wanxi.

Cao Wanxi remembered Xu Rui's strange attitude, and then she reacted: "You deliberately bombed me away when you found danger?" ”

Xu Rui didn't reply: "Yes, otherwise what do you think?" ”

Cao Wanxi felt a trace of shame in her heart, and asked again: "Since you knew that there was danger, why didn't you tell me directly?" Maybe Apricot won't have to die. ”

Thinking of the maid who died tragically under the killer's arrow, Cao Wanxi's heart ached, and two lines of tears flowed out.

Xu Rui snorted coldly and said: "At that time, the situation was urgent, if you told you that there were killers nearby, and didn't believe it or not, as long as you exclaimed, the killers would immediately take action, how could you still hope to escape?"

Besides, your maid, she was still holding a dagger in her hand when she died, haven't you seen that she is a person in the dark chess at all? ”

"What? Apricot is also a person in dark chess? That's impossible! ”

Cao Wanxi's face changed, and she subconsciously shook her head.

Xu Rui turned his head and glanced at her, and snorted coldly: "Just now, she ostensibly stood out for you, but actually wanted to get close to me and plunge that dagger into my heart, not to mention that you think about it yourself, this is a trap set by the killers, how did you happen to appear in this place?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Wanxi was slightly stunned, she was already ice and snow smart, and she was able to penetrate Xu Rui a little.

Tonight, her uncle told her that Xu Rui and the two princes were having a small gathering in Wentian Pavilion, and asked her to give the osmanthus cake directly to Xu Rui.

But the maid Xing'er said that Bai Xiaohan, the number one prostitute in the world, was asking Tiange to take the examination for talents from the northern country, which made her very disappointed in Xu Rui, and she had no idea of asking Tiange.

After that, she originally wanted to send the osmanthus cake directly to Liu Yifu, but Xing'er told her that the master asked her to send the osmanthus cake because she wanted her to meet Xu Rui, and if she sent the osmanthus cake directly to Liu Yifu, it would be no different from not sending it.

So she followed Xing'er to this long street in a daze, thinking that she would stop Xu Rui when he returned home, but now it seems that she has become a pawn for the killers to stop Xu Rui.

Cao Wanxi's face turned pale, and she muttered: "Xing'er has been with me for almost ten years, and she was only six years old when she entered the door. ”

Xu Rui sneered: "Dark chess is pervasive, instead of being surprised, it is better to think about how to get out." ”

After saying that, Xu Rui suddenly stood up, and Cao Wanxi realized that he had put together the contents of the two boxes into two strong crossbows, one large and one small.

These two crossbows are Xu Rui's continuous fire crossbow and sniper crossbow tailored for the military department, and the continuous fire crossbow is an enlarged version of the Qingluan crossbow, called the black phoenix, the crossbow is about half a meter long, and can fire fifteen crossbow arrows at a time, with an effective range of 75 to 100 meters.

The sniper crossbow is called Chasing the Moon, about 75 centimeters long, single-shot, equipped with the latest glass sight, optical magnification three times, and a maximum effective range of 350 meters.

These two crossbows were originally going to be sent to Xiao Jinwu for acceptance, but Xu Rui left these two crossbows in the carriage first in order to prevent accidents, but he didn't expect them to really come in handy.

Xu Rui fumbled a few times on the roof of the car, pulled open a hidden iron bolt, and then pushed hard, and the roof of the car was like a window, and a half-meter square skylight was pushed open.

At the same time, directly below the skylight, a small staircase pops up at the bottom of the carriage, just enough for one person to stand.

Xu Rui hung the black phoenix crossbow on the hook bolt on the roof of the car, and walked up the stairs with the moon-chasing crossbow in his arms, revealing half of his body through the skylight.

The rumbling hooves of the horses were getting louder and louder, and it was obvious that the pursuers behind them were in hot pursuit, and although the long street was pitch black, the pursuers lit torches and lit them up, which happened to be the target.

"Hold the car!"

Xu Rui shouted at the shadow who was driving, then took out a weather vane, quickly measured the wind direction, and then adjusted the scope slightly, then picked up the moon-chasing crossbow and took aim slightly, and pulled the trigger.

"When"!

The bowstring made a chilling sound, seventy-five centimeters long, and the thumb-thick crossbow bolt suddenly came out, and almost immediately after a breath, a scream was heard from a hundred meters away, and one of the torches fell to the ground and never moved again.

Xu Rui didn't have the slightest expression on his face, calmly took out the winder, rewound it and placed the arrow feather, and then aimed slightly, another arrow.

There was another scream in the darkness, and another torch fell to the ground.

With these two arrows, it is enough to prove the value of the Chasing Moon God Crossbow, but although the God Crossbow is strong, after all, the rate of fire is too slow, and the pursuers behind him are riding horses, and the speed is much faster than the carriage, and the distance between them and Xu Rui is less than 100 meters at the moment.

Xu Rui hung the moon-chasing crossbow back on the roof of the car and took off the black phoenix crossbow, while An Ge on the side hung the rewound Qingluan crossbow on Xu Rui's waist, and then took out the black phoenix crossbow magazine from the box, ready to help Xu Rui replace it at any time.

At this moment, a sparkling torch suddenly appeared in front of the carriage, and a cry of harmony was heard in the distance.

"This is the patrol post of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, who is riding a horse in front, don't stop quickly!"

Xu Rui frowned when he heard this, if it was really the patrol post of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, it would be equivalent to Xu Rui's reinforcements, but today is not a festival, how could those soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division set up a sentry card?

Taking a step back, even if those soldiers suddenly became diligent and really set up a checkpoint, how could they happen to be on this street?

If this were the case, the dark chess would have exhausted its means long ago and led itself into other streets, and it would never be stupid enough to choose this place for assassination!

"Don't stop, just rush over!"

Thinking of this, Xu Rui's heart tightened again, and he hurriedly shouted to the shadow who was driving, and at the same time, ignoring the pursuers behind him, he turned around and aimed the repeating crossbow at the sentry card in front.

"Don't worry, young master, Ying Yu knows, drive!"

Shadow responded by flicking the reins out of his hand, and instead of slowing down, the carriage sped three points faster and rushed towards the checkpoint.
