Chapter 141: The Assassin Strikes, Hit by an Arrow
At this time, the screams of women were frequently heard outside the West Garden.
Du Wei, Han Peiyao and the others turned around at the same time, but saw that the banquet had already become a mess.
Dozens of black-clothed people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding snow-bright steel knives, and went straight to the queen and the prince of Nanwang who were sitting on the top.
When the king saw this, he immediately drew his long sword and shouted to the guards beside him: "Protect the queen!" And he himself quickly grabbed the frightened Concubine Li, and pushed her to the center of the guards.
At this time, the black-clothed assassin had already pounced on the prince of the south, waved his hand and threw four hidden arrows, Feng Duhan raised his foot and kicked the table in front of him, drew the sword of the guard next to him with his backhand, swung his sword to remove the oncoming hidden arrows, and quickly retreated.
Du Wei was extremely shocked in her heart, this banquet was still good just now, how could this kind of thing happen suddenly?
Unlike the previous assassinations she knew, this time it could be regarded as a blatant assassination, and it was in front of nobles such as the queen and Concubine Li.
These people ...... It's too arrogant, isn't it?
The banquet was already in chaos, and the ladies who were charming just now now got under the table, revealing half of their buttocks, and couldn't stop trembling.
And those noble ladies also hid around at this time, but fortunately, those assassins were not interested in them, and just blindly pounced on the queen and the prince of Nanwang.
Concubine Li was so frightened that her face was pale, and the guards around her swung their swords and slashed an assassin to the waist, and blood splattered out instantly, causing her to faint with a scream.
Although the queen's face also had a panicked look, her eyes stared straight at those black-clothed assassins, as if she wanted to see through their identities, and in the depths of her bright eyes, there was a faint sense of inexplicable fierceness and calmness.
In the garden, the sword light was staggered, and from time to time red rays burst out, and blood splashed on the red carpet.
Du Wei was on stage just now, so she hid with Han Peiyao and others nearby, and hid herself behind a curtain.
This dinner was almost all women's dependents, so there were many fewer guards with them, and most of the guards in the Zhou Mansion were deployed to the emperor's side, so for a while, these black-clothed people actually had the upper hand, while those guards retreated step by step.
Suddenly, a man in black and the guards fought in front of the curtain, and the sound of the soldiers slamming only frightened the young ladies into discoloration, and even the curtain trembled.
Seeing that the curtain was crumbling, Han Peiyao gritted her teeth and whispered to a few people beside her: "This place is too small to accommodate so many people, hurry up and go out a few!" ”
Those daughters were all frightened and white-faced, go out? At this time, how dare they go out, the sword has no eyes, they don't want to lose their lives.
The sound of swords outside was getting closer and closer, and Han Peiyao glanced at Du Wei with bad intentions, and suddenly reached out and pushed her violently.
Du Wei's attention at this time was all on Feng Duhan, who was not far away, and was entangled with the man in black, and was negligent for a moment, and was pushed out from behind the curtain by Han Peiyao.
Du Wei tripped over the carpet under her feet, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere, and the man in black was almost in front of her, and even the sparks from the staggered swords were clearly visible.
The villain in Du Wei's heart repeated over and over again: I'm not nervous...... Not nervous.
She knew she should find a place to hide right away, but her legs refused to obey her commands.
On the ground, there were overturned lanterns, tables, chairs, etc., and snacks and fruit bowls were scattered all over the ground.
Han Peiyao hid behind the curtain, her body was still trembling, but her eyes were full of excited cold light, and her lips were silently reading: Go die, Du Wei!
The man in black was getting closer and closer to Du Wei, Han Peiyao clenched her hands tightly, and her gloomy eyes carried infinite resentment.
At this moment, a white shadow swept past her, kicked the man in black away, and fought with several people behind her with a backhand.
Du Wei raised her head, but saw that Feng Duhan was holding a long sword in his hand, forcing the assassin back, and his body was calm, but the black blood stains on his sleeves looked particularly terrifying.
For some reason, when she saw this, Du Wei's heart involuntarily tightened.
Twilight reached out and grabbed Du Wei, using her long sword to pick off the enemy's hidden weapon as she retreated.
Du Wei could feel that his steps were calm, as if he was not very difficult to deal with these enemies, and he felt a little relieved.
The King of England came from behind, and most of the men in black in the garden were killed by the King of England and the guards around him, and when he looked closely, the King of England's purple robe also had some more small damages, but it did not really hurt him.
"Du Wei!" Seeing that Feng Duhan brought Du Wei over, the King of England showed an anxious look on his face, "Come over here." He stretched out his hand and tried to pull Du Wei to the back to dodge, but Twilight didn't let go, still holding her in one hand and holding the sword in one hand.
Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, the King of England couldn't help frowning deeply, and waved his sword to force back an assassin and hurriedly said: "The prince is poisoned and it is inconvenient to use internal force, so it's better to let Du Wei go to the back quickly." ”
Poisoning? Can't use internal forces?
These words were particularly harsh to Du Wei's ears.
At this moment, there was a shouting sound outside the garden, and it turned out that the guards who had come to meet him had arrived.
The gate of the garden was sealed by the guards, and the rest of the black-clothed people had nowhere to go, so they could only rush desperately towards Feng Duhan and the others.
The king and the others suddenly felt the pressure doubled.
Several sounds of breaking the sky suddenly sounded in the air, and Du Wei raised her head, only to see several white lights shooting straight towards them.
Hidden weapon!
Her body instinctively tensed, and the prince of Nanwang, who was hugging him, seemed to sense her nervousness, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, this prince will definitely protect you." ”
Before the words were finished, the hidden weapon had fallen ruthlessly, and the king and others struggled to swing their swords to dial the hidden weapon.
Du Wei's ears suddenly heard a muffled snort, and before she could tell who had been hit by the hidden weapon, the guards outside the garden rushed in and arrested all the rest of the black-clothed people in a moment.
I had just tied up those people, but I saw that they were spitting black blood from their mouths one by one, and they were obviously all poisoned and died.
Everyone was terrified, and the women were all safe, and some of them broke their heads and broke their arms because they themselves fled for their lives.
Du Wei stood stunned, only to feel that Feng Duhan's hand around her slid down, but her body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and gradually pressed towards her.
Du Wei turned her head in surprise, and a sleeve arrow came into view.
Blood stained the crescent-white brocade robe, dripping down the cold arm of the wind.
It's full of shocking red!
King Ying and the others couldn't help but be shocked, the prince of Nanwang was shot in the chest by a sleeve arrow, and the whole person almost lost consciousness, leaning on Du Wei's body in a gloomy manner.
