Chapter 235 Arrived home safely

Inside the "Entering Xuanyi", outside the room where he lives. There were more and more dark shadows, and the corridors on both sides of the door were already crowded with people, and the room was surrounded by dark whistles, and the people in the room could not fly. The leader of this group of people made a heavy gesture. The black light was blind, and many people actually couldn't see his gesture at all, but when they saw the person in front of them draw their blades and move, they also understood, anyway, they already knew the mission of this trip: to kill without mercy!

Suddenly, the target in the room seemed to be alarmed. I heard a lazy voice in the room ask, "Who's sneaking out there?" "Listen to the voice, it's the Countess," > voice. At the same time, the lights in the room that were originally on were also extinguished all at once......

The crowd outside the courtyard was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became alert, and the leader kicked heavily on the wooden door. Suddenly, even the door panel with the door frame was kicked over. At the same time, the people on the left and right also started together, and the carved wooden walls were kicked like paper paste in front of them.

You don't need to salivate a lot to do this kind of work. After kicking open the door and the wall, the men picked up their weapons and rushed inside. As a result, after rushing less than two steps, the front row of people let out a series of screams like killing pigs. In the dark, he couldn't see his five fingers, and the leader didn't know when it happened, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the front?" ”

No one answered him, but the second row, which followed the first row, first tripped over something on the ground and let out a few exclamations. Then, the screams turned into short screams, and finally came to an abrupt end......

The leader was not a fool, and he immediately understood, I was afraid that things would not be good, so he immediately shouted hurriedly: "Hurry back, hurry back......"

Screaming twice in a row, in this dark night, the others were a little weak even if they were bold. Hearing this, they retreated very quickly, but there were too many of them, fifty or sixty people were crowded into those dozens of square meters, how easy was it to withdraw?

Finally, when the third scream rang out, everyone retreated into the courtyard. The leader didn't care about revealing the faces of his group, and shouted: "Light the torch and prepare the bow and crossbow!" ”

These people seem to be well-trained government soldiers. Soon, the thick torches stained with butter were lit. More than 20 strong bows and crossbows, and at the same time, they also opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the room where they had just suffered. The one who led the way. After the torch is lit, the first thing to worry about is the loss of one's own people. After clearing the number of people, he was taken aback by the results. But in this moment, more than a dozen people disappeared. He immediately subconsciously looked towards the room, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, and after one look, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: he seemed to have made a terrible mistake......

I saw that in that room, there was no trace of Mrs. Thorn's ">. Some...... There were just more than 20 men wearing pale yellow chain mail, holding shields and horizontal knives, and their faces were resolute and fierce. If you look closely, it is the family of the Countess "> who came to stay in the evening. It's just that why did these family members who looked at the low-trade eyes turn into such elite guards in the first place?

At this moment, the leader was still stunned, but he saw that a large hole had been opened in the room of this room, and he was about to attract attention, when behind the shield wall in front of him, a brilliant red firework rose into the sky.

"It's not good, this is a signal for help, they still have reinforcements, release arrows, rush in for me!"

The leader finally made up his mind. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately flashed to the side, making room for the twenty or so archers behind him. More than twenty archers received the order and released their bowstrings without hesitation. More than twenty wolf-tooth arrows roared towards the shield wall in the room.

Qin Shuang was behind the shield wall, and after releasing that signal, he had been observing the leader's reaction. Seeing the leader dodge, he immediately understood what he wanted to do. shouted: "Yu! At the same time, he drew his waist knife and waited for it. Behind him, there were six tall royal guards, each holding a large shield in their hands, and surrounded the three guys such as the tiger head, as well as Cui Qiao and Caiyi. As for the strong one, he did not shrink in the shield wall, but wore chain mail and a helmet, standing tall like a heroic female general. She had experienced such a dangerous scene in Zuiyue Tower at the beginning, and of course she would not be afraid at this time, although she couldn't rush to the front and kill the enemy side by side with the guards, standing like this could boost morale, wouldn't it be ......

The whizzing arrows did not do much harm to the guards. The chain mail of the royal guards is a fine product carefully crafted by the craftsman. Moreover, they have shields to protect vital points. After three rounds of bows and arrows, none of the guards fell to the ground, and only one guard was pierced by the bouncing bow and arrow into his wrist, which was not protected by armor.

Seeing this, the leader simply gave up his bow and arrows, jumped to the front, and brandished his broadsword and shouted: "Brothers, go up, kill them all!" ”

When the hundreds of Assassins heard this, they shouted and launched an assault. The royal guards finally got nervous. There were only about thirty of them, while the other side had more than a hundred. And there are archers, one-on-one, they are not afraid of anyone. One against two, they won't worry too much, but one against three and one against four, and they have to always be on guard against the cold arrows of the archers, which is going to die. If the enemy keeps shooting with bows and arrows, they don't have to worry. On the contrary, I hope to drag on like this, and wait for another fifty reinforcements to rush over, just in time to attack inside and outside. But now that they have waited for so long, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived, the enemy has launched hand-to-hand combat, and they can only ...... Spelled !!

Qin Shuang was also a little anxious, according to the agreement, at most they would send a signal on their side for half a cup of tea, and the other fifty people should be killed. But now that the tea has passed, and the fifty people haven't arrived yet, they must be in trouble! Thinking like this, Qin Shuang's face turned slightly pale, and he forced his head back to the sentence:

"Brother and sister, go into the shield wall, your own heart!" Then he rushed up without looking back. Fight against the horde of Assassin killers. With Qin Shuang's martial arts, as well as the skillful battle formation cooperation and superb personal skills of the royal guards, they were able to withstand the onslaught of the assassins at the beginning, and even had a slight upper hand. However, as the Assassin archers shot six or seven royal guards in quick succession, the situation became precarious......

At this moment, both warring sides felt a stronger tremor in the earth. Immediately, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves gradually became closer and closer. Both sides were a little stunned: who is here? But the other side's reinforcements?

Just when the warring sides were stunned for a moment, more than 30 royal guards entered through the gate of the post house. I saw that they were all covered in blood, and they were all running out of breath. There are also people with obvious scars on their bodies, and many of them have lost their weapons. No, Qin Shuang also knew that they must have been intercepted and experienced a vicious battle. As for why there are more than a dozen people missing, they must have died honorably......

Seeing that it was their own reinforcements, the remaining twenty or so royal guards who were holding on to the post house were in high spirits, shouted loudly, and rushed to kill. Under the two attacks, the Assassins were a little confused. From time to time, someone screamed and was cut to the ground, and then trampled to death by both sides of the scuffle. The tide of battle turned in favor of the guards......

Seeing this, the leader of the Assassins immediately retreated. Commanding the remnants of the seventy or so Assassins, they fought and retreated in the direction of the backyard of the inn. Qin Shuang wanted to lead people to catch up, but he was worried about the safety here. As he was hesitating, he heard a crisp voice:

"Brother Qin doesn't need to care about our side, just rest assured to chase and kill, remember, you must leave a few live mouths for interrogation!"

Qin Shuang struggled for a while when he heard this, and finally decided to continue the pursuit. However, he left a dozen or so guards who were slightly injured to protect the others, anyway, it was only a hundred steps from the front yard to the back yard, even if there were really ambush soldiers, more than a dozen guards with shields should be able to support them until they came back to help......

As the shouting of killing gradually shifted to the direction of the backyard, he collapsed for a while. She was indeed not afraid of the battle array in front of her, but if Qin Shuang and them couldn't defeat these assassins, what would be the consequences? Thinking of this, I was really afraid, three lively and lovely children, and the mission on my body, I am afraid that with the disappearance of my own line, it will become a mystery that can never be solved......

Just as they sat down with their whole bodies in prostration, the more than ten injured royal guards who were left by Qin Shuang to protect them stood up one by one with solemn expressions and nervous faces. Not only did he firmly grasp the shield again, but also protected the three guys and two female dependents who had just been released in the shield wall again. Meantime. He also tightly grasped the blade that was still dripping blood, and stared vigilantly in the direction of the door.

Just as he was about to ask suspiciously, he saw a strong fire suddenly lit up outside the gate of the post house. Immediately, the fire spread under the oath, and soon, the entire area of the post house was illuminated by blazing torches. Through the firelight, I also saw those sergeants holding torches high, holding horizontal knives in their hands, and wearing Tang Army uniforms......

A man in his thirties, dressed as a lieutenant, walked in with dozens of soldiers behind him. Looking up, he asked, "Who are you?" What's going on here? "Because the royal guards were standing in front with their shields, he didn't see Madame Thorn sitting behind>......

This person is naturally the Hangzhou government soldier Captain Sun who came to the rescue, when he saw the fire near the "Xuanyi", he immediately led his subordinates to gallop and came to check out. As a result, when they passed by the "Xuanyi", they looked from the outside, but they did not find any movement in the post house.

So they went straight to the place where there was a fire in front of them, and when they arrived at the scene, they found nothing but traces of fierce fighting and more than a hundred corpses. At that moment, Captain Sun ordered people to investigate everywhere, and soon found traces of the surviving royal guards hurriedly sending reinforcements to the post house. So, Captain Sun ordered people to follow him all the way here, which is why when the fight just started, everyone heard the sound of horses' hooves but never saw anyone come in......

A dozen or so royal guards stood proudly, and one of them endured the pain on his body and asked with force:

"Who are you? Why did the third watch lead the army here in the middle of the night and surround this post house! ”

Captain Sun made a gesture, and the dozens of Tang soldiers behind him immediately opened their bows and arrows, facing more than a dozen guards with a wary face. At the same time, Captain Sun replied in a deep voice:

"This general is the captain of the East Battalion of the Hangzhou Prefecture Army, surnamed Sun, and the general has been ordered by the official to receive a noble person here. Fang saw that there were fires and traces of fighting not far from the inn, and he led his troops to investigate, but only saw dead bodies on the ground. Ben led his troops to track them all the way here, and then there was no trace of the person who had escaped. And you and others are wounded, could it be that you are the one who committed the murder? ”

Several royal guards did not answer him directly, and the man who had just spoken asked in a deep voice, "Who are you going to answer?" ”

In Sun Xiaowei's heart, there was actually some guessing, could it be that this was the group of people he was going to answer? It's just that he didn't see Mrs. Thorn Shi's ">, nor did he see Lord Shangguan Feng's daughter, so he wasn't sure yet. Hearing the man in front of him ask like this, he groaned for a while, and finally spoke: "It's our Hangzhou Thorn Shi's wife" > and son, ">, sister", > and his party, have you ever seen it?" ”

When a dozen or so royal guards heard him say this, everyone was relieved: Fortunately, this is his own person! The leading guard was about to speak, but heard a trembling and surprised cry from behind him:

"But Uncle Sun is here?"

There was a burst of surprise on the face of the captain Sun, and he shouted loudly: "Caiyi's niece and daughter, is it you?" Where are you? Come out quickly, my uncle has come to pick you up at your father's behest!" ”

Feng Caiyi had almost been frightened by Fang Cai's bloody battle, she had never seen such a bloody scene in her daughter's family. Therefore, as soon as the war began, she and Cui Qiao hugged each other and trembled. It wasn't until Fang Cai got a little better, but as soon as he woke up, he heard the voice of the person talking outside very familiar, so he asked out loud. At this time, when he received an affirmative answer, he couldn't hold back any longer, jumped up at once, walked through the shield wall formed by the guards, and ran quickly towards the captain Sun, and said coquettishly:

"Uncle, you are finally here, there are still a lot of bad people behind you, please go and help Uncle Qin......"

Captain Sun frowned when he heard this, listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard the sound of blades clashing behind the post house, and hurriedly waved his hand to the several colonels waiting behind him. Several schools immediately rushed towards the backyard with a group of Tang troops......

Captain Sun turned his head, lovingly brushed the scattered hair on his forehead for Feng Caiyi, and then smiled at her lovingly, and then asked: "Good nephew, Mrs. Thorn Shi" Is > okay? How can I not be with you? ”

At this time, he had slowly regained his strength, heard the conversation outside, took a deep breath and stood up, slowly pushed away the guards who were tightly guarding in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I'm here, General Lao is ...... worried" and wanted to go down, but was only pulled by two guards. At this time, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the girl wants to rush over, and they don't need to stop them. But they are shouldering the personal safety of Lord Chincha, and they must not let Lord Chincha be in danger again!

Captain Sun looked up and saw that Mrs. Thorn Shi "> is really here, so he quickly untied his blade and put it on the ground, and respectfully bowed his hand and said: "The last general, Sun Renli, meet Mrs. ">." The last general is late for rescue, please "> forgive your sins!" The Tang army behind him also knelt down one by one when they heard the words.

He waved his hand again and again, asking him to hurry up. After he stood up, he asked, "There is General Laosun, General Sun, who ordered you to come to meet me, and when did you arrive here?" ”

Captain Sun replied honestly: "Mrs. Hui" >, the last general was ordered by Lord Shi and Master Sima to come to answer Mrs. ">." Today, when the sky was almost dark, he led his troops to arrive at the sunny slope three miles away. I wanted to stay in the post house, but later considering that there were too many soldiers with him, and the last general was responsible for receiving his wife's ">, he ordered his brothers to camp on the spot, so that they could get up early tomorrow morning and continue to look for their wife in the direction of Xuanzhou>Whereabouts! ”

It turned out to be someone sent by the husband, and in this way, he completely dispelled the vigilance in his heart, made the swords-rattling guards put away their weapons, and urged them to deal with their wounds as soon as possible. Seeing this, Captain Sun hurriedly beckoned the military doctors and asked them to take out the medicine to help!

It didn't take long for Qin Shuang to return from the backyard with the royal guards, almost all of them were covered in blood, and many of them were also covered in color. It can be seen that these assassins are all ruthless characters. Behind the royal guards, followed by the soldiers of the Hangzhou Mansion, among them were several assassins who had been tied up with flowers, including the leader of the assassins.

Qin Shuang came to the front, looked at Captain Sun, and finally arched his hand: "Mrs. Yu" >, the assassins have all been ambushed, these four people were captured by their subordinates and others, please Mrs. "> fall!" ”

Knowing that Qin Shuang didn't want to expose the identity of the royal guard, he groaned his head, and then said: "Thank you for your hard work, as for these people, in my opinion, it is better to bring them back to the Assassin's Mansion and hand them over to Lord Assassin Shi for interrogation!" ”

Qin Shuang clasped his hands into fists: "Obey!" ”

Head again: "Take the brothers to bandage and treat the wounds!" Then, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he quickly added: "By the way, these assassins must be strictly guarded, first, to prevent them from escaping, and second, to prevent them from committing suicide!" Do you understand? ”。

Qin Shuang and Sun Xiaowei clenched their fists at the same time: "Please madam" > rest assured! ”

On the fifth day of December in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, after nearly two months of wandering and trekking, traveling all over the Jianghuai two roads and 31 mansions, and finally the assassinated Mrs. "> Xiao" in Hangzhou Mansion finally returned to Hangzhou without danger under the escort of the entourage generals and Hangzhou government soldiers......
