Chapter 406: Ambush (1st Update)
"Okay." Ran Yan reached out and shook his hand and said, "Then be careful yourself."
"Hmm." Xiao Song held her hand, sent her on the horse, and sent thirty guards to send her back in broad daylight, someone dared to assassinate the important ministers of the dynasty, and Ran Yan was also involved in this case, how did he know that the murderer would not wait for an opportunity to retaliate? Therefore, she never refused Xiao Song to be so excited about the beautiful scenery near the Qujiang River, but Ran Yan felt that it was not a place to stay for a long time, so she rode a horse from the main road and did not stay at all.
There is a section of the boulevard of the white sand embankment before entering the city from the Qujiang River, there are many noble Langjun ladies on both sides of the road around the screen, playing in the cool air, the screens of various 'colors' are like a 'flower' blooming in the green trees, which is extraordinarily wild.
Ran Yan had just been basking in the sun for a while, feeling a little insufficient oxygen supply, dizziness and nausea, which seemed to be a sign of heat stroke.
"Mrs. Xianliang."
When she was about to enter the market, Ran Yan seemed to hear someone calling her, but she was dizzy, and there was some tinnitus in her ears, so she looked around uncertainly. No one.
"Mrs. Xianliang?"
Just after driving the horse a few steps forward, the guard next to him said, "Madam, it seems that someone has called you." ”
Ran Yan stopped her horse, and the guards were about to look for someone, but she saw a movement in the bushes next to her, and more than a dozen guards immediately drove their horses in front of her.
In a moment, a black figure came out of the bushes, he looked up at Ran Yan, suddenly knelt on the ground, and cried, "Sure enough, it's Mrs. Xianliang!" The little one is a servant of Liu Sheren, and I just went to the Hou Mansion to hear that you and the Hou Ye are not there, and I thought that the sky was going to kill our Ah Lang. ”
Fang just talked about Liu Pinrang, and now people are actually here! This made Ran Yan a little wary, and he was a little sober, and asked..."What happened to Liu Sheren?" ”
"Madame, this is not the place to speak." The guard reminded.
Ran Yan was also anxious for a while, and turned to look around, and sure enough, many people paid attention here... Ran Yan instructed one of the guards, "Carry him and walk in front." ”
"Mrs. Xianliang, someone is chasing and killing me." The servant said hurriedly.
Ran Yan frowned slightly, and said to the guard, "Be careful." ”
The servant was carried on his horse by the guards and walked at the front of the group according to Ran Yan's instructions.
There's less than a mile to go... With so many guards, it should be fine. Ran Yan calmed himself down and sped up to the city.
"No one is following, right?" Ran Yan asked the guards beside him.
"Nope!" The guard replied.
Already able to see the neighborhood buildings, Ran Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, a group of people dressed as scholars passed by, and at the same time, Liu Pinrang's servants were frightened and suddenly shouted in horror, "It's the person who is chasing and killing me!" ”
The guards were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the soldiers passing by... The group of people was obviously stunned, and everyone seemed very 'confused'. Someone else said angrily, "Don't make such a joke!" We are the prisoners of the country! ”
Ran Yan's heart jumped... Looking up at the attic in front of her, before she could see the figure clearly, she saw three feather arrows 'shooting' towards this side, and couldn't help but shout, "On the city tower!" ”
Many guards had already discovered those people, but it was too late to retreat, so they could only draw their swords and arrows immediately. More than ten guards stood in front of Ran Yan and covered her retreat.
Between the lightning and flint, the three arrows have arrived, and the 'squire' guard waved his sword to block... But this arrow is not a bow and arrow, but is 'shot' from a crossbow, and its power cannot be underestimated. The three arrows were cut off, and the remnants of the arrows were still 'thrust' into the dirt in front of the feet of the soldiers.
When the group of scholars saw this, they exclaimed in surprise and immediately scattered in all directions... But under the panic, it was inevitable to collide with each other, and a person who fell immediately stumbled and fell together, and for a time there were cries of panic, and the small boulevard crossing was 'chaotic'.
Ran Yan leaned over slightly. Pull the reins and slowly retreat. In this way, even if an arrow 'shoots' her, it won't hurt her, but the target of those people is obviously Liu Pinrang's servant, so he said, "Protect that servant!" ”
"Yes!" The Guardian commands.
"Madame, sit tight!" Seeing that this distance was relatively safe, the guards immediately flicked their horsewhips and 'pumped' Ran Yan's mount.
The horse accelerated suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, it ran out dozens of feet, and Ran Yan shook for a moment and quickly stabilized. She took a moment to look back, and the servant had never been hurt, and the guards were protecting him from retreating, but the man was in a mess, rolling on the ground, and the horses could not move forward.
If it goes on like this, it's a live target! Ran Yan shouted in a hurry, "Get off the horse and dodge!" ”
The group of guards reacted suddenly, and immediately dismounted and ran into the nearby woods.
Ran Yan was just about to turn around, and saw a few feather arrows 'shooting' from the attic, her position should be safe, but the servant is difficult to say.
In the crisis, Ran Yan can't take care of much, so he can only take care of himself! She flicked her horsewhip, "Drive!" ”
A dozen guards followed closely.
There seemed to be a lot of bows and crossbows added to the attic, and the rain of arrows came towards the guards and soldiers on the ground. Although all the arrows are aimed at the guards and 'attendants', the large-scale 'shot' will inevitably cause accidental injury. Ran Yan only heard the screams behind her, she frowned, and pulled the reins of the horse, making me gradually stop.
Ran Yan looked at it from both sides and ordered, "You enter the forest from the side, avoid the sight of the attic, and kill upstairs, I see that they only have less than ten bows and crossbows." ”
Ran Yan's eyesight is excellent, and six or seven of the bows and crossbows in the attic are repeating crossbows, and the rest are bows.
"But Madam, the subordinates promised Lang Jun to protect Madame every step of the way!" The guard hesitated.
Ran Yan raised his horsewhip and pointed at the injured soldier on the ground, "Do you want to watch them die?" ”
She obviously still has the strength to save her, even if she is a little ruthless and cold-blooded, she can't watch so many innocent people die tragically. She said coldly, "Don't go quickly, their target is not me, leaving two people to protect is enough!" ”
"Yes!" The guards replied in unison. They are also bloody men, the soldiers of Chang'an were killed under their noses, but they only cared about running away and did not rescue them, which may not make people poke their backbones.
Ran Yan looked around, this is the main road between Qujiang and the city, because of the hot weather, there are not many people who go out to play, this is more than an hour after noon, it is the hottest time, so there are not many pedestrians on the road, and a few are scared away, and it is estimated that they will go to report to the official.
The government should be coming soon.
Ran Yan frowned and looked at the attic, this group of people was too bold and reckless, in broad daylight, they dared to ambush and kill on the main road where the crowd came and went!
Li Chengqian...... Are you really going crazy?
Is it really him? Even if he wants to kill people and kill people, isn't it also a 'revelation' that he 'makes' such a big battle?
