Chapter XVI: Assassination
But it was said that Yun Huang was sent out of Chu Garden by Chu Xun early in the morning, and there were five people guarding her, one driving and four riding horses. These five people have different physical appearances and personalities, but it can be seen that they are all first-class good players among the Wuyi guests.
The carriage traveled for a long time, and nothing happened all the way out of Yicheng. It was so smooth that these five people felt bored, they were just doing what they were told, just sending her to Junyi Mountain, it was so simple. They don't know what the identity of this woman in front of them is, what is so special? Why five people for such a simple task, and five of them?
Xu You is a man who looks a little bookish, well-dressed, but his appearance is not very good, it should be said that he is still a little ugly, but he is lively and active, and when he saw that Yun Huang was always sullen along the way, he comforted him and chatted with her, but Yun Huang was not in the mood to pay attention to him, and only talked to him a few words.
Wei Hu was full of stubble, burly, and an active person, and when he saw Xu You's closed-door soup, he laughed at him, and the two quarreled.
Lin Hai and Yang Wei are fat and thin, they don't like to talk very much, and when they see them like this, they just hold their swords and look at each other coldly.
Zhang Qing was driving in front, he was slightly older than the others, and he was more calm, and he didn't say anything all the way.
When Mo Shen was about to drive, the car passed through the suburbs of Luzhou, Xu You and Wei Hu were arguing, and suddenly more than ten arrows flew out of the forest with a few "whoosh" sounds.
Zhang Qing raised his eyes, the long sword in his hand was out, blocking three arrows. Yang Wei also swung his sword to block two. The rest of the people, seeing the arrows coming out of thin air, stopped the quarrel, became vigilant, and hurriedly swung their swords to block them. Each of the four of them stood and protected the carriage. whereas
Yun Huang was frightened by the sudden arrow, and crouched in the corner at a loss.
Arrows flew from all directions, like showers, without the slightest intention of abating. They didn't know how many people there were, and they couldn't see exactly where they were. Although the five of them are all first-class martial arts, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and they really do not have an advantage, and it is not a way to be entangled in this way for a long time.
The horses that had straddled had been knocked down. For the sake of today's plan, the only way is to quickly evacuate with the clouds.
Zhang Qing whipped the horse's back, and the horse ran hard, and Yun Huang had to grab the edge of the car to stabilize his body. However, the horse was suddenly shot by a sharp arrow that broke through the air, and this move was caught off guard, only the wind howled in his ears, and the horse suddenly neighed on the ground, bleeding all over the ground. The car shook violently, almost sending the occupants of the car out.
At the same time, a row of black figures suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way. There are fifteen people in total, all of them with refined bones and murderous eyes. The long sword in his hand reflected the sunlight, which was really dazzling.
Zhang Qing's eyes as cold as frost flashed, and he kicked hard, and the person had already swept out. Yang Wei, Xu You, and Wei Hu also walked away one after another.
The swords in the forest are wrong, and the "clang" sounds. The body tilted, and he couldn't stay in the carriage anymore, Lin Hai was about to cover Yun Huang to go out, when suddenly the curtain was suddenly opened, and the man was dressed in black and masked, and he was also one of the assassins. It was a loud voice, and everyone present heard it clearly. The Assassins who fought with the other four were noticeably sluggish.
When the assassin shouted, Lin Hai had already taken the first step to hand over the sword, and for a while, blood gushed out, and the assassin glared angrily, and he wanted to fight back, but Lin Hai kicked out.
Yun Huang was stunned and was already dragged by Lin Hai, and he said, "Come with me!" ”
However, before the men got out of the carriage, two more men came up to meet them, probably seeing that their brothers had been killed, and these two men were so fierce that they clearly wanted to put them to death. The body was narrow and slanted, and taking care of the clouds, Lin Hai had lost his advantage, and he felt that the sword that he wielded freely on weekdays seemed to be dull today, and he couldn't use his strength. It didn't take long for Lin Hai to be injured, and the two took advantage of the situation to pursue, one left and one right, and in the blink of an eye, the two sharp swords had already submerged into Lin Hai's body.
They quickly turned their gaze to the cloud desolation behind them, and that look was cold and terrifying.
Yun Huang shrank back, vigilantly looking at the person in front of him, the man's long sword stabbed suddenly, she rolled back, fell to the ground, subconsciously reached out to block the blade of the sword, and in an instant her hand was cut out of blood, her face turned pale, and her heart hurt, the person jerked suddenly, and the blade of the sword slashed out of the palm again, and the blood flowed down, dripping on the skirt, blooming a large red flower.
She gritted her teeth in pain. The man took the opportunity to attack again. In a panic, Yun Huang hurriedly picked up the sword in Lin Hai's hand and barely blocked it, but his hand was too painful, and he couldn't block one or the other. Seeing that the sword was about to pierce into her body, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes, and the ghost sent the god to recite a scripture silently, and the sharp sword in the hands of the two turned into long snakes, and they were startled, abandoned their blades, and Yun Huang took advantage of the gap to escape.
After fighting for a long time, the four of them were more or less wounded, and they knew that they couldn't go any longer.
Zhang Qing had always been calm, and saw that these people were similar to the black-clothed people who assassinated Chengye the day before yesterday, and they were connected with the inexplicable three words "I have been tricked", so he suddenly understood, and ordered: "It is important to escort Miss Yun, and you must not fight!"
But now it's no longer a question of whether to fall in love with war or not, although their martial arts are not weak, but the other party is overwhelming, and it is not easy to get out.
The four of them looked at each other, and they got closer while fighting, and Yang Wei got out first and jumped in front of the carriage under the cover of the three of them.
But it was said that the two people saw the sword as a long snake in a trance, and when they came back to their senses, the person was gone, and the shock was not timed, and Yang Wei had come to front of him, and the two of them had not had time to pick up the blade, and they had been killed.
However, Yang Wei saw only the corpses of Lin Hai and a few assassins in the carriage, and Yun Huang did not know where to go. He frowned, turned around and said, "Oops! Miss Yun is gone! ”
Suddenly, the sword was pressed in front of him, Yang Wei's body quickly turned to the side, and a bloody mark appeared on his arm. He raised his sword and turned around, but when he saw four people in front of him, he looked sideways. Over there, Xu You and Zhang Qing were entangled, both of them were injured, and they obviously lost the upper hand, and Wei Hu was already dead. Yang Wei raised his eyebrows, and the hand holding the sword increased a little harder, and trembled faintly.
The Assassins knew they had found the wrong people, but they were clearly going to kill them. Looking at his brother's corpse, Yang Wei felt regret in his heart, and his eyes turned red. With the force of his feet, his body spun, he rose into the air, jumped out of the four people, stabbed reflexively, killed one person, blood splashed all over his body, and hurriedly withdrew the sword that caught the other person, the sword body rubbed, and sparks burst out. He jerked back, his body shortened, and then he rose up and kicked away the other sword, and the man took a few steps back in pain, and staggered down.
There were only three of them left, and they were all wounded, while there were still seven or eight of them.
The three of them approached and discussed countermeasures.
Yang Wei asked, "How is it now?" Looking for Miss Yun or? ”
"Go back!" Zhang Qing replied very simply. He could almost conclude that Chu Xun's was by no means for them to protect the Cloud Desolation.
After all, there can only be three people working together, focusing on defending, and retreating while defending.
Fortunately, the Spirit Clan people are good at light work, and they reluctantly quit under the pursuit of the opposite side.
But said that Yun Huang fled all the way, although she did not know martial arts, but she had lived in the mountains for a long time, and she was active and lively, often playing and chasing with pheasants and hares, and her foot strength was not weak, plus the four of them attracted most of the attention, and only two people chased her. Besides, she is a little clever and knows a little witch arts, so it is not difficult to avoid the two men in black.
She didn't dare to stop, she ran wildly all the way, and she had returned to Chu Garden at nightfall.
Seeing that she was covered in dust and was extremely embarrassed, the doorman asked her what had happened, she was panting and replied hastily, and hurriedly said that the assassin she had encountered on the road intercepted and killed, the doorman was shocked, and hurriedly took her back and informed Chu Xun.
Yun Huang was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and as soon as he came back, he said that he wanted to see the master, but he was told by Chu Xun that Shen Ji was no longer in the house, she was surprised and sad, sad that the master actually broke his promise and sent her to Yazhou just to get rid of her. She was suddenly silent, and Chu Xun didn't know how to comfort her, only saying that Shen Ji did this for her good, let her rest for one night, and called a doctor to help her treat her injuries, and promised to take her to Junyi Mountain in Yazhou.
Xu You and the three of them arrived later, Chu Xun saw that they were injured, and he didn't blame them, and asked a doctor to treat them so that they could recuperate.
Zhang Qing told Chu Xun about his speculation about the man in black, Chu Xun was not surprised, only nodded and said that he knew, and told him to retreat.
So he understood that the reason why Chu Xun asked the five of them to protect Yunhuang was actually to attract the attention of the assassins, so that Chengye could leave smoothly. Although I have seen his methods earlier, I still can't help but feel cold, after all, it is his brother who was born and died, after all, he is just a child who doesn't understand anything.
But Chu Xun didn't care, he was thinking about something else, from today's events, the other party lurked in Yicheng people and horses are not only those the day before yesterday, these people were about to put Chengye to death, they have been waiting nearby, but they didn't see Chengye go out, early this morning I saw a carriage from Chu Yuan, and there were guards, naturally suspected that the car was Chengye. But now that they already know that it is not Cheng Ye, they will definitely think that it is him Chu Xun who is attacking the west, in this way, even if they know that Cheng Ye has left, but this matter has nothing to do with Chu Xun, isn't Chu Yuan in danger?
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and asked, "What about the secret guards sent out to protect His Highness, is there any news?" ”
The attendant on the side replied: "I have replied to the letter, but I have not yet reported to the son, the letter said that His Royal Highness went out of the city for five miles, did not reach the national border, and suddenly turned back, and now, I don't know where to go." ”
Chu Xun slapped his palm on the case, "I don't know where to go?" You've done a good job! ”
The attendant took two steps back, "Gongzi is angry, His Royal Highness is excellent in martial arts, and there is Miss Lian by his side, if you want to prevent people from finding it, we have no choice." ”
Chu Xun was about to punch out, but suddenly stopped, and asked again, "How is Shen Ji?"
"General Luo has escorted him out of the city, and there will be no problem with the twenty-three horsemen of the Winged Word Army."
"That's good." Although he said so, in his heart he was planning the future situation of Wuyike, the East Palace is not an easy master to deal with, if someone recognizes Russell or Shen Ji, and then arranges a crime for him to collaborate with the enemy, what should he do?
I thought I had enough troubles, but I didn't know that someone came to report early the next morning that the cloud was gone.
Chu Xun sat down and thought about it carefully, Yun Huang was not familiar with the place, and she was only familiar with Shen Ji, she must have gone to find Shen Ji
After pondering for a moment, he instructed, "We don't have to go to her, let's take care of ourselves first." ”
Originally, Yun Huang was just an insignificant person, whether he lived or died, what did he do? He doesn't have that much energy to care about others. If he had asked about it and said that they had met the Assassins on the road and had been dispersed, it would not have been a lie.
What's more, what about his day? He and Shen Ji may never have an intersection, why did he come to him?
