Chapter 372: Going Home
Seeing that there was still one day to get to Beicheng, where Xie's house was located, the road of the group was blocked again.
These days, no one dares to stop them in their way.
It's just that those people are wearing the costumes of the Shang Kingdom and holding a slender sword in their hands, and everyone only feels a little familiar.
Sister Yan recognized it at a glance that it was the evening song of the sunken sky, and pressed her heart, and the group walked closer.
"We are not Assassins, but we have been ordered to deliver something." ”
Only then did Zhang Ling recognize that the sword was similar to the emperor's Qingge sword, but the cyan sword spike had been contaminated with blood and couldn't see the color, "It's the emperor's sword." ”
"What, the emperor's sword, is this, is it a provocation. ”
The person next to him took out a fan from his sleeve that was also full of blood, "This fan is a relic of Lord Xie Ling, and I will return it together." ”
Zhang Ling saw that the emperor's face was expressionless, just looking at the two things seriously, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
Seventeen shouted, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, your envoy was killed by bandits in Shangguo, my Shangguo feels very sorry, and has sent people to look for the murderer, but the murderer has not been found for a long time, but only found the relics of the emperor and Lord Xie, His Royal Highness the prince thinks that it should be returned to their deceased, the emperor's sword has a different meaning, and has been sent back to Chujing, these two things, we think should be handed over to the emperor for safekeeping. ”
The group was already hostile to them, and if they added fuel to the fire, everyone hated them even more.
But the emperor who should be the most angry didn't have any different emotions at all, just said, "Bring the things and go back to tell your Royal Highness the Crown Prince that this seat will not let go of the real murderer." ”
Those people were also a little stunned by her cold gaze, but when they thought of their mission, they boldly moved forward.
With the original lesson, Seventeen drove his horse forward and stood in front of his sister, trying to retrieve the sword and fan on her behalf.
As expected, these people were still assassins, and when Seventeen turned around and handed the sword and fan to Sister Yan, several of them moved again.
Now everyone had experience, especially Seventeen, whoosh pulled out a dagger and plunged it into the back of the neck of the man who tried to pass past him, and the man died on the spot.
In between, he neatly killed a few killers, just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Two extremely fast figures have rushed in front of Sister Yan, just looking at the speed, these two are not ordinary masters, no matter what, they have to be above the first-class masters.
They are fast, and their sisters are not slow, and they are instantly unsheathed when they sing at night, and a sword and a sheath block the attacks of the two.
Seeing that she was effortlessly blocking her fatal blow, they knew that their previous judgment was false, and they gave a look at each other.
The guards tried to help keep them at bay, but they were too fast.
I only heard the sound of breaking through the air and remembered.
Four short arrows burst through the air and aimed at the killer, but the two dodged them.
Four men with hats, one holding a crossbow arrow and one holding a dagger like Seventeen, appeared in the Realization of Everyone.
In an instant, the bolts were once again powerful.
but they were all shunned.
The two work together and want to rely on speed to win.
A sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, and her pure white cloak flew up, and her speed was faster.
The two of them are even more sure that Sister Xie is not injured, and in the face of such a person who is faster than themselves and has a higher strength than themselves, even if the two join forces, there is no chance of winning, not to mention that there are crossbow arrows that have been pointed at each other.
Speaking of which, few people present have seen her actually shoot, but her speed is so fast that no one can catch her movements.
Faced with such a situation, the two killers then joined forces to kill.
The moment the two sides clashed, only a tooth-aching sound was heard, and one of the assassins had a wound five or six inches long on his body, and even the inner armor on his body could not stop her sword.
The injured man attacked like crazy, but the person next to him made a feint and ran back.
The two of them were already very reluctant to face their sister, and this time, the injured person was even more difficult to resist.
Sister Yan knew that they wanted to go back to report the news, so naturally they would not let them succeed.
A few sword lights brought up a bloody light, and the man clutched his neck in disbelief and fell.
The other man had already run out for more than twenty feet, dodging the arrows of the guards, and several more guards appeared in front of him to stop him.
Their strength is only that of first-class masters, but their speed is indeed very fast, and they are bent on escaping, and the dark guards are not easy to stop.
Someone has already come back to his senses, where does the emperor seem to be injured, it seems to be the emperor's strategy, then this person can't let him escape.
Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and the sister Yan held the sword in both hands, leaned back deeply, and charged the sword away.
The sword was faster than the crossbow arrow, with a soaring murderous aura, the man's cold hair stood upright, but he felt that his feet did not obey the call, and he couldn't dodge, Qingge stabbed him in the back with a bang, and the stamina took him a few feet forward, and suddenly nailed into a big tree.
Seventeen finished dealing with the rest of the people, and hurriedly ran to pull out the sword, and the guards dragged the dying man to the emperor.
"Deal with it, I can't ask anything. ”
The guards immediately complied.
Looking at the emperor's neat appearance, everyone was always a little afraid.
The young guard named Seventeen, who was inconspicuous, turned out to be such a ruthless person, and sure enough, the people around the emperor couldn't afford to provoke him.
Ziwen took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood off the sword, and put the sword back into its scabbard.
He muttered to himself, "I see that you still have a few such masters to kill me, assassinate them, at least have such masters to besiege, and I will kill you all one by one." ”
Everyone didn't dare to approach her, so naturally they couldn't hear what she said again, but they just saw her looking at the sword that had just killed someone, smiling weirdly, and her heart was furious.
Open the fan, the fan made of silk is said to be invulnerable and will not be polluted, but it is already covered with blood, and the middle is cracked.
This is something that they will never leave, Lian Jin wants to continue to attack himself and the prince, as he expected, this will indeed disturb our minds, but it can't do any harm, because no matter what, Lian Jin has to die.
Seeing that the guards had dragged the people away after mending their swords, Zhang Ling walked to the front of his sister Yan and said, "Why did the emperor have to do it himself, he could have not given them a chance to get close." ”
"Although Lian Jin has been in business for many years, there are not many subordinates of this level, with the skills of Seventh Brother and Tianshen, the general killers can't keep them, so he must have sent the most powerful subordinates to force them into a desperate situation, and we have only set off for fifteen or sixteen days, and the killers on the Shangdu side can't catch up, they must be on a mission outside before they can rush to Chu State, so they may be one of the murderers who chased and killed Seventh Brother. ”
Zhang Ling thought about it, the people who were testing on the road a few days ago could call the fastest and most powerful helpers, that is, the group of master killers who were still chasing the traces of Master Xie and the emperor.
Could it be that the emperor did so much just to lure them over, and then slash the enemy.
Such a step-by-step calculation, temptation, is also too terrible.
Everything was actually as Sister Yan expected, that group of people who tested Sister Yan's meticulous work, afraid of losing the opportunity, in addition to reporting to Lian Jin, they also sent a message to the wave of assassins who were responsible for assassinating Tianshen Dao, because the people from the Shang capital were too far away, their strength was enough, and they could use these relics to disturb Sister Xie's heart, and there was a better chance.
The group of assassins was full of pride, and when they saw the benefits of killing the two important people of the Chu State, they were a little proud, and they were eager to make contributions again, thinking that Xie Ling and Twilight Tianshen fell into the cliff, and they were afraid that there would be no bones left, and they would not be found, so they sent most of them over without receiving instructions.
In the past, he has been invincible, but he didn't expect to lose two generals at once, and in the end, he was still too confident and regarded this place as his home field.
Refresh and start again.
On the second day, it was already dark for more than half an hour.
Xie Yuan and Third Lady Xie stood anxiously in front of the Xie family's mansion, and the lantern above the door of the mansion illuminated the expectant faces of the two.
After another pillar of incense, I saw a group of people coming.
The two couldn't help but walk down the steps in front of the door, looking forward to it.
Several of Sister Yan's brothers and juniors also followed.
Sister Yan rode a horse little by little to the light in front of the mansion, and dismounted in front of Xie Yuan and his wife, "Daddy, mother." ”
Mrs. Xie San's tears almost fell out, and she forcibly said, "But I'm back, whether I'm cold or not, whether I'm hungry or not." ”
Xie Yuan is still reasonable, and he is busy letting people settle them down.
"You will stay in my Xie Mansion tonight, the house has been arranged, you don't have to be restrained. ”
Several brothers and juniors also gathered around the sister.
Wulang said, "Xiao Jiu, as soon as you say that you are coming back, I don't know how many delicious foods have been prepared in the house, my mother and aunts, each of them have cooked a specialty dish for you, which is more sumptuous than the New Year." ”
"Did the fifth brother steal food?"
"Of course not, it's not a child. ”
Mrs. Xie said, "Let's go first, everyone is waiting." ”
Everyone hugged her and walked inside, and the third lady of Sister Yan Chang Xie whispered in her ear, "Seventh brother, are they blaming me for the matter?" ”
The third lady didn't expect her to be so close to her, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook her head, "No, don't think about it." ”
When I entered the gate, I found that my grandfather and my uncles and aunts were waiting here, and as a junior, my grandfather greeted him personally.
Seeing the long-lost scene, Sister Yan suddenly felt a trace of grievance in her heart.
Outsiders have heard of how Sister Xie Yan is favored in the Xie family, but they didn't expect to see it with their own eyes, it was shocking, a junior went home, and it was so pompous.
The old lady is well-informed, naturally it is not because of her granddaughter's current status that she is like this, no matter what, she is also the granddaughter of the Xie family, it seems that the old lady really loves this granddaughter the most.
Sister Yan stopped, untied the Qingge on her back and sang it at night, took it with seventeen acquaintances, and hugged the box with the emperor's sword.
I saw her walk up to the old lady, "Grandpa, I'm back to see you." ”
The legendary old lady with a kind face, "It's good to be back, let everyone in." ”
