Chapter 64: The Assassination on the Hill

Ten miles outside the city.

Su Yan stopped, and the horse pulling the cart really couldn't hold on.

There is a small hill about 30 zhang behind.

He had just passed through there.

The hill is densely vegetated, with tall and straight trees, low shrubs and wild grasses, and it has become a small forest.

Because the mountain bag is not high, the road was not opened in the mountains when the road was built, and the post road passed by.

He parked the cart beside the post road, untied the horse, led it to the hill, found a grassy place, tied the horse to a tree and let it graze on its own, and then returned to the carriage.

The carriage was four-wheeled and unloaded as smoothly as a horse.

Got into the carriage and looked at Yun Yiyi, stared blankly for a while, made sure there was nothing abnormal, then sat in the front room and took out dry food to eat, took out a water bag and drank a sip of green water, and then closed his eyes to rest.

The body has long been invasive, and naturally it will not feel cold at night.

From early morning to dusk, he kept hurrying, without eating and drinking a sip of water, not to mention the horse, he couldn't hold on anymore.

There are still stars and moons tonight.

Ever since he saw that sea of stars, he felt safe and warm whenever he was under the stars.

It was as if it was his world.

The stars are getting brighter and brighter until mid-day.

midnight

Su Yan woke up suddenly, and the healthy horses on the hill bag neighed, and the ground shook faintly.

didn't have time to think about it, Su Yan rose and landed on the hill bag.

As far as the eye could see, a sinuous dragon appeared on the horizon, and the firelight reflected half of the sky.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded from indistinct to clear, but not too fast.

cavalry

The army of the second emperor is still outside the Xiongfeng Pass, so it can only be the cavalry of the empire, and Su Yan can't be sure whether the cavalry is going to support the Xiongfeng Pass or coming for himself.

The night wind blew through the forest and whined low, like an unwilling soul crying.

The sound of the horse's hooves, the whimper of the night wind, was indescribably strange in the night.

Su Yan's eyes swept towards the forest from time to time, and several vicious battles had already made Su Yan grow up quickly.

He listened carefully to the details of the voices.

Suddenly there was a murmur in the wind, and a feathered arrow screeched out of the forest and shot at him.

Cavalry is attracted from a distance, and the elite takes advantage of the night to cover up and assassinate.

It is no longer from before men, it represents a change in the way of the Empire or the Templars.

Already unscrupulous.

After passing the Xiongfeng Pass, it is the place controlled by the Second Emperor, and it will be even more difficult for them to hunt down Su Yan.

This time this place is their best chance.

'Bang' Su Yan drew his sword and opened the feather arrows, and more feather arrows were shot at 'Boom, Boom, Boom', and countless arrows were overwhelming like locusts.

Su Yan swam like a fish in the forest, in the treetops, and in the gaps of the rain of arrows, or dodging, or using a long sword to block, and there was no room for fire in between.

The sound of an arrow piercing the trunk of a tree.

When! Clusters of arrows hit the bluestone, bringing a spark.

After the rain of arrows, the people of the dense forest rushed out, and saw that the clothes turned out to be the guards of the imperial palace.

This is already the most elite armed personnel of the Empire, and there are some white figures in it.

Naturally, the people who wore white were the people of the Church, and the number was smaller, because the people of the Church were not cabbage.

In the distance, the hooves of the cavalry were scolding, and the tips of the spears shone in the light of the fire.

This lore arranged by the Empire and the Templars.

For the Holy Church, Su Yan killed a lot of them, but he didn't know why the empire was like this.

To be precise, why is the Great Emperor Zixuan like this.

He knew that Su Yan was the seventh gentleman of the academy, and no one could not see the bauhinia flowers on the carriage when he went out of the city.

With a long roar, Su Yan stabbed a sword at an imperial palace guard who rushed in, the tip of the sword was sharply enlarged in the guard's eyes, the guard was shocked, his body fell to the ground as soon as he leaned back, and then rolled up, it was undoubtedly the best choice to avoid Su Yan's sword.

The best option was not always useful, because a plum blossom was still blooming on his chest, and then the stars and the moon in the night sky grew darker and darker in his eyes, and he felt colder and colder.

This is a sign that life is about to come to an end, and at this time, he is not regretting, and he does not have too much fear of death.

He was actually nostalgic for the warm quilt on the bed at home and the soft delicate body of his wife.

But he still died.

The sound of the clatter of blades resounded on the hill in the night, as dense as a shower, and it was like countless blacksmiths wielding hammers to strike iron.

The sword light flashed around like lightning in the dense forest.

Plum blossoms bloomed thirteen, Su Yan killed thirteen people, he had to leave here before the arrival of the cavalry, tonight was not the night on the border city plain, without Sansan on the side to help, Uncle Shi's sword intent had already been used.

He just saw the sea and couldn't stop the thousands of troops and horses rushing in, although he was not afraid, he might be able to escape alone, but there was still the carriage parked on the post road at the foot of the mountain, and the sleeping Yun Yiyi was still lying in the car.

Thinking of Yun Yiyi, the afterglow in his eyes swept over there, and he was shocked to see two Templar powerhouses and an Imperial Palace guard rushing towards the carriage.

The heart tightened suddenly, as if it was being grabbed by a pair of invisible hands.

This is the Great Fear.

The body rushed towards the bottom of the mountain, ignoring the stabbing sword, the sound of the 'poof' long sword entering the flesh sounded, and an imperial palace guard came to meet him, and the long sword in his hand stabbed into Su Yan's shoulder fiercely, and the tip of the sword leaked out from his back.

With a muffled snort, Su Yan's body was short, and his right shoulder slammed into the chest of the palace guard, and with a 'bang', the sound of bones breaking sounded, and the guard let go of the hand holding the sword, and his body flew into the distance like a stone, and the person was out of breath in mid-air, and his face still had the ecstasy of winning it.

The sword broke out of his hand and screeched through the chest of one of the Templar powerhouses who rushed towards the carriage, this time no longer with a plum blossom.

The Templar powerhouse swooped forward a few steps before falling limply, his eyes full of disbelief.

'Poof' Su Yan pulled out the long sword inserted in his shoulder with his backhand, and the blood arrow flew out, followed by a cold light, the long sword reached the back of the imperial palace guard, the temple powerhouse died, this imperial palace guard already had some precautions, and before the wind behind him, his whole body moved horizontally to the right, and the thrown long sword flew past his body and was nailed to the post road in front of him.

The sword did not reach the hilt.

This Imperial Palace guard broke out in a cold sweat, and even if his reaction was even a little slower, he would end up with the same fate as the Templar powerhouse who had died before.

As soon as his mind was relaxed, there was another sound of breaking the air, and then his chest was cold, and his eyes widened in disbelief and looked back at Su Yan with the last bit of strength.

What he saw was Su Yan's cold face and empty hands,

Where did the sword come from?

Su Yan naturally didn't have a sword in his hand, but when he swept over a tree, he pulled out the arrow stuck in the trunk.

It was the arrow, not the sword, the arrow that the palace guards began to shoot.

Coincidentally, this arrow was shot by his own hands, and Su Yan had just flashed behind the big tree at that time.

Maybe that's what the Buddhas call cause and effect, if there really is cause and effect.

The three people who rushed to the carriage were still the last Templar powerhouse, and the sword Su Yan killed two people in a row with a flying sword from a distance of thirty zhang, and he was a little afraid of Su Yan's bravery, so he regretted that he should not leave the small mountain bag, just because he was curious and the other two came to investigate the carriage.

He received information that there was a beautiful maiden in the carriage, and he wanted to see it.

Regardless of regret or fear of Su Yan's bravery, but he couldn't stand still, seeing Su Yan's empty hands, and seeing the figure of his companion chasing behind him, his courage rose sharply, and he screamed towards Su Yan.

Su Yan's eyes were calm without a trace of emotion, and his left hand reached into his arms and took out a golden and delicate little bell, as soon as the little bell came out, the vitality between heaven and earth began to turbulent, as if this was an extremely terrifying thing.

The little bell is not terrifying, it doesn't even have a hint of murder, and it has no other effect, but it just makes a louder sound.

This is the morning bell in the morning bell and dusk drum that the scholar quickly took away from Feilai Peak at that time, and the scholar only remembered to give it to him when he left today.

Flick your fingers,

With a sound of '', there was a ripple in the space, and the diffused sound waves were visible to the naked eye, and the sound was small when it started, but it was Hong Zhong Dalu who fell into the ears of the temple powerhouse and the people chasing after him.

The loud sound, of course, is not to deaf the ears, but to kill people.

At the beginning, the scholars were also noisy by the morning bell and dusk drums.

The bell rang three times, and with a bang, the last remaining Templar powerhouse in front of them exploded into a mist of blood.

Except for a few Templar powerhouses who had cultivated higher, the rest of the people followed in the footsteps of those Imperial Palace guards without exception.

The Templar powerhouse who ran to the carriage and died at the end was unwilling to die, he couldn't figure it out, he really just wanted to see the people and girls in the carriage.

Because of curiosity.

His code name in the Sanctuary is the Demon Cat,

Curiosity killed the cat.

This is the power of the great treasure of Buddhism.

What scholars can see is not a good thing.

Su Yan himself was also surging with qi and blood, he had never cultivated Buddha, and the sound of the bell had some influence on him.

Fortunately, it was in his hand, and it was he who rang the bell.

Looking at the dead people, Su Yan's eyes showed an inexplicable look, feeling that these people were a little pathetic, and the remaining Templar powerhouses had already been frightened and did not dare to come forward.

Ringing the morning bell is not without a price, and the starlight on the starry sea in the body is a little faint to be invisible.

The strong men of the Templars did not move forward, but the cavalry chasing after them was closer, and in terms of clothing and armor, it was not the Xuanjia elite cavalry, but the more elite Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard.

Su Yan had no choice, he didn't have time to carefully bandage the wound on his left shoulder, he casually tore off his clothes, wrapped it twice, and then ran to the carriage, holding the rope of the horse on the wheel with both hands, and strode on the post road.

The horses pulling the cart had died in a rain of arrows on the hill.

The cavalry of the Praetorian Guard is about 5,000 people, although there are not as many Xuanjia elite cavalry as last time, but now Su Yan is running on the post road in front of him alone, as long as there is a rain of arrows, Su Yan will turn into a hedgehog.

The gentleman in Daohe Town was not afraid of the rain of arrows from the cavalry, because the gentleman at that time had already known his fate.

Maybe Su Yan wouldn't have cared about it when he was still knowing his fate before, but now that he has rebuilt, he is only in the realm of seeing the sea.

......

There was a 'buzzing' sound between heaven and earth, like countless bees vibrating their wings.

It was the sound of the arrow trembling as it left the bowstring.

'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh' countless sounds broke through the air, but the formation was not many times larger than in the dense forest on the hill just now.

The dense black dots fell like Su Yan alone and in a car, a real rain of arrows.

Su Yan couldn't ring the morning bell again, he couldn't help but look at the rain of arrows.
