Chapter 550: Who is that man?
Chu Tiankuo was on guard and against the arrows that kept shooting at him, but he saw the guards in the house, holding swords, guns, swords, halberds, and rushing over while shouting and killing him.
Why don't you kill him like this! Chu Tiankuo is really bitter, there are wolves and tigers in front of him, but how can he deal with it?
For the first time in his life, an idea suddenly popped up that he wished he could have three heads and six arms.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the same time, among the people who were standing in front of Chu Tiankuo and surrounding him, there was a commander who gave an order.
As soon as he heard this command, the archers hiding in the shadows pulled the bowstrings, and the dense arrows set off from all directions and shot at Chu Tiankuo like raindrops.
The second round of archers' shooting was officially launched. The density of the arrows makes people look at the color, and if they are not careful, they will become the target of the gun, and they will be killed on the spot.
Hearing the sound of whizzing arrows, Chu Tiankuo was suddenly a little confused. This time, the number is too dense and huge, and it is a bit of a fantasy to want to hide from them all. Moreover, there were also the guards in the house who came towards him with murderous anger.
There has never been a more desperate time than this moment. But what can he do? I can only fight hard and persevere. However, it is difficult to defeat many bows and arrows with two fists, although it is a meaningless insistence, but it is a moment to hold on for a moment more.
Such persistence is of little significance, and in the end it will definitely be difficult to escape the fate of being pierced by ten thousand arrows. However, before the last minute, who could have predicted that no miracle would happen?
At the moment, he had no time to think about anything else, just to concentrate on dodging the arrows that were shooting at him.
it! The guards who rushed out of the dormitory were frightened in the face of the dense rain of arrows. From time to time, there were arrows that shot at Chu Tiankuo, but as a result, they missed and shot at them. They struggled to hide from the past. There were also some inexplicable arrows that fell around them.
Where have they ever seen such a formation, they are almost scared.
"Don't let go of the arrows! Stop! Stop it! They cried almost in unison.
However, no matter how much they shouted, the archers were indifferent, and as long as no one shouted to stop from above, the archers had to carry out the order and did not dare to stop.
Those guards shouted that their throats were useless, and when they saw the arrows, they still shot at them mercilessly, and they cried in their hearts and scolded their mother. The group of people in front of them are really crazy and inhumane. In order to shoot the assassin, he didn't even care about his own people.
Luckily, the arrows were only aimed at the Assassins, and only a few missed missed the guards. They just had a false alarm, and it was fine, at least no one was shot. So, for the sake of safety, they all retreated into the house.
How many people can face the real threat of death?
After those guards retreated, Chu Tiankuo had less worries, and only needed to deal with the arrows shot in front of him, which seemed a little easier. Fortunately, he had a dormitory behind him, his back against the wall, and he only had to deal with the arrows fired from in front of him. If he were standing in the courtyard and trying to avoid arrows from all directions around him, he would probably go crazy.
Those arrows were extremely dense, as fast as lightning, and their strength was fierce, but they were all dodged by Chu Tiankuo. If he wanted to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, he only had to throw the arrows he received back, and I was afraid that a large number of people present would be killed or injured.
It's an incredible thing. After another rain of arrows, the archers and palace guards stared at the masked assassin.
They had never seen a person so strong in martial arts, so agile, so alert, and so charitable. Each of them was surprisingly unanimous, wanting to see who the Assassin really was and what he looked like. Why does he look like an ordinary person, but he has such ability, as if he has three heads and six arms?
After two rounds of shooting, they still failed to hurt the assassin at all, and most of the archers were a little tired, and the hand that drew the bow and arrow was numb, and their mentality began to change. They are so good that everyone almost wants to give up. The Assassin was like a myth.
But the people above did not speak, and they did not dare to make their own decisions. Everyone is worried, and they can't afford to blame it.
In short, they wanted to spare the assassin, but they did not dare to assert it, so they had to wait for a new round of instructions.
Here, Chu Tiankuo's whole person was so tired that he almost collapsed, but he still didn't dare to be careless.
Because although the arrow attacks in front of you have weakened, they still have no intention of completely stopping. From time to time, there are also a few persistent archers, shooting arrows at them. Looking at it like that, it seems that Chu Tiankuo is used as a target, and there is a kind of meaning that he will not give up if he is not shot.
Thanks to the fact that this is at night, even if the surrounding lights are bright, the light is worse than during the day. Moreover, the archers hid in the shadows, watching the lights glare and reflect. In addition, Chu Tiankuo was dressed in black, and the target was not as conspicuous as those eyes, so they were not aiming accurately enough. If it was daytime, I am afraid that Chu Tiankuo would have had a hard time dodging the first round of shooting.
At this moment, Chu Tiankuo really wanted to take a break, but he couldn't. He had tried to escape before the archers could start the third attack, but he was held back by the arrows that came from front of him.
A moment later, the archer's third round of shooting was ready, just waiting for the command from above.
Chu Tiankuo didn't know how long he could last in such a physically and mentally exhausted state. His mind was numb, and his whole body was just moving instinctively.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and suddenly a person shouted loudly with a voice that could be heard clearly by the whole audience: "Stop all!" You can't kill! ”
The voice has a deep power.
The warm voice came, listening to Chu Tiankuo's ears, as if the warm sun in winter was shining on his frozen body, which was extremely pleasant.
Hearing this call, the audience immediately fell silent.
Those archers, holding the bow strings in their hands, did not pull, but did not put down either. They are ready to be on standby at all times.
Chu Tiankuo was a little lucky, as if he had met a savior, and the rain of arrows shooting at him suddenly stopped. He was able to take a breath, and he raised his eyes and swept around looking for the owner of the voice.
He glanced over and saw a man walking towards him. He was sure that the person was probably the person who had just spoken, and the person who had just been lying on the bed in the inner room of the dormitory.
At this time, Xiu Xiu became a little interested in that person, and he was curious about who this person was, and why did he speak for him? Of course, he would not be idiotic to think that the other party was his father, and he had already ruled out this possibility.
However, if the other party is not his relative, why should he save him?
His mind raced, and he thought of another possibility. Bright arrows are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend against. Or, the other party is not trying to save people at all, but is using some kind of conspiracy. The other party was lying on that bed before, pretending to be asleep, obviously pretending to be the emperor, luring him to come.
What is hateful is that he was too eager to visit his father, so he was able to be used by the other party. If he is usually put aside, with his calm temperament and keen insight, he will not fall into the trap. It's good now, not only can he not see his father, but even his own life is worried.
That's where impulse ends. Impulsiveness is the devil.
He stared at the man warily, ready to respond.
The guards in the dormitory saw Liu Xin, the chief eunuch, walk out of the door, and then heard the sound of arrows disappearing, and they rushed out of the dormitory. Weapons in hand, aimed at the assassins, ready to do a big fight.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you step down? ”
Chu Tiankuo heard a shout from the man's mouth and rushed towards his guards, so he had to retreat some distance. Still, they were staring at him with fierce eyes. Now he was even more confused. Who is that man? What tricks do you want to play?
The person lying on the bed just now was Liu Xin, the chief eunuch. He has followed and served the emperor for many years, is a big celebrity around the emperor, and is also the chief eunuch in the palace, both in power and prestige. He still has prestige, and his words also have a certain weight, which immediately shocked the audience.
Of course, when it comes to it, most people are not frightened by Liu Xin. In fact, everyone wants to see who the masked assassin is, and he is so awesome.
The guards who retreated all looked at Liu Xin with wide eyes, and asked puzzledly: "Manager Liu, why are you actually protecting the assassins?" There is an order from above to arrest the Assassins, and if the Assassins are allowed to escape, we cannot afford to blame them. ”
Liu Xin, the chief eunuch, did not answer. He wondered what to do in this situation. He already had an idea in his heart, this assassin's face was so similar to the emperor, it was very likely that it was the crown prince Chu Tiankuo.
If it was really the crown prince Chu Tiankuo, then he should try his best to save him. However, trespassing on the palace was a capital offense, and it was well known to everyone, and in the face of so many pairs of eyes, it was not easy for him to protect the assassin.
The most important point is that this assassin may be the crown prince, but it is just his guess. If he hadn't, he had helped the Assassins escape, and he would have been in trouble.
The thought of the order from above to deal with the Assassin made his scalp tingle. Instead of helping the Assassins, he tried to help them escape.
It was a nerve-wracking experience.
The arms can't twist the thighs after all. If he were alone, he would not be able to save the Assassins. If the emperor is sober, then it will be fine. Now that the emperor is in a coma, how can he support him and make decisions for him?
The people who surrounded Chu Tiankuo in front, except for those archers who stayed where they were and waited, all walked over to Liu Xin, the chief eunuch.
They looked at Liu Xin and asked in surprise, "Why did Manager Liu speak for the assassins, could it be that he was an accomplice to the assassins?" ”
Next, everyone took turns bombarding and questioning Liu Xin.
Liu Xin was forced to ask by everyone, but he really had no choice, so he had to tell the truth: "Because he looks like the emperor!" ”
He pondered it again and decided to reveal his identity as an Assassin. If everyone knew that the assassin in front of them looked like the emperor, they would have some scruples. Now almost everyone knows that the emperor has a son of his own. And this assassin looks like the emperor, and it is very likely that the emperor was born to him.
This indirectly indicates that the assassin is most likely the crown prince. If they learn that the Assassin may be the crown prince, they might still do something to the Assassin? Unless the head on the item is not wanted.
If it had been confirmed that the assassin was not the crown prince, he would not have been to blame. After all, everyone has seen it.
When everyone heard Liu Xin's words, they were all frightened, and the shock on their faces was obvious. It's just that at night, you can't really see it. If it was daytime, it was not difficult to find that everyone's faces had changed in panic.
Their mood is indescribable.
