Forty or fifty men in disguise on the field, dragon and lantern dances, and lion dances had already copied their blades in their hands, scattering the burning things and causing chaos, and at the same time, a group of people rushed to the bottom of the high steps of a wooden building where Yang Qian'er, Li Zeng, Zhou Dong and others were fighting.

Song Nan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was like lightning crossing the dark clouds, and the snow was bright; The target of this group of people must be themselves, but they don't know that Yang Kouer pretends to be a Xibei goods; In an instant, the group was rushing to the front of the steps.

In the panic, no one noticed that the closed door of the wooden building behind Li Zeng and Zhou Dong opened a crack, Li Zeng and Zhou Dong quickly did not enter the door, and the door was closed tightly in an instant. Dozens of men slowly approached Yang Ko'er, who had only a dozen guards around him, holding bright and dangling blades.

Song Nan didn't have time to care about anything else, he rushed into the middle of the door, rushed through the smoke and burning things to where Yang Ko'er was, and the people around him fled in chaos, but Song Nan's eyes were staring at the steps, and everything around him was not in his attention.

The sharp sound of the bamboo flute sounded, it was a guard beside Yang Ko'er who blew the bamboo flute, but the bamboo flute only sounded for a few breaths, and with a buzz, the black feather arrow was nailed into his throat, and the guard turned over and fell, and the corpse was on the steps.

More than a dozen guards shouted in unison, seeing that the road was blocked, knowing that they had been ambushed by others, one blocked Yang Ko'er's body, and the rest quickly fired the fire gun, and at the moment when the assassin everyone stepped on the steps, the fire gun let out an earth-shattering roar. After the smoke passed, only three of the Assassins who rushed up the steps fell, and the rest of the men were torn like flying clothes, revealing their dented black chests, but they were not killed.

"My Dayuan warrior is invulnerable, what can I do with firearms?" The assassin led by the assassin looked up to the sky in a black scarf and laughed, stretched out his hand and pulled the black object full of dents on his chest, and threw it aside, and the guards of the fire battalion on the stairs were all dumbfounded, it turned out that these guys had already come prepared, and they all had thick iron plates on their chests, and the iron sand could not penetrate their bodies at all.

During the training of the fire battalion, it was emphasized that the enemy's body should be hit, because the target is easy to hit, unlike the head target, which is smaller and the skull is hard, and if it can't hit a large area, it will only hurt but not kill, but I didn't expect to be exploited by this group.

Obviously, the assassins also knew this truth, but they were not in a hurry to step forward, the leading assassin waved his hand, and there was a loud roar on the other side of the street, and a large rain of arrows came from the window on the second floor on the opposite side, and the Jinyi guards had already drawn their embroidered spring knives to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, but they were hit head-on by this crossbow arrow, but they heard the screams endlessly, and more than a dozen guards were not spared, and each of them was nailed with three or four jet-black feather arrows and fell to the ground.

Blood flowed down from the steps layer by layer, the entire staircase had been soaked in blood, Song Nan saw this qiē eyes cracked, Yang Ko'er was finished, there was no longer a standing figure on the steps, all the people were afraid that they would be killed in this sudden arrow rain attack, Song Nan's body was cold and stiff, and all the strength of his whole body seemed to be taken away, and there was no trace of strength in his body.

The piercing sound of the bamboo flute sounded again, this echo came from behind Song Nan, Hou Dabiao and the four guards were far away from Song Nan's footsteps, the battle here was fleeting, and they didn't even have time to see this qiē. When they saw Song Nan standing in the middle of the empty street, with the corpses of more than a dozen Jinyi Wei brothers lying on the steps opposite, they realized how strict the problem was.

"Gather the men quickly, and blow the whistle to inform all the brothers here to come and protect the adults." Hou Dabiao quickly commanded, and at the same time flew towards Song Nan.

Song Nan was awakened by the sound of the bamboo flute, and saw that the thirty or so assassins were stepping on the steps with their blades and began to mend their knives on the fallen guards, and the anger in his heart was indescribable; Yang Ko'er and a group of brocade guards are already difficult to spare, this group of people have to go up to mend the knife in order to be absolutely killed, how fierce this is, this group of people is planning to let themselves have no chance of survival this time.

Song Nan pounced forward, the double fire guns in his hands had already been pulled out, and he pulled the trigger on the more than ten assassins standing at the bottom of the stairs, this group of people had iron plate guards in front of them, but unfortunately there was no protection behind the back, 'bang bang' four shots rang out in a row, and the backs of seven or eight assassins were blasted into blood holes, and they fell to the ground and rolled over.

The assassins on the steps turned around in astonishment, and they were all a little stunned when they saw a man with a long beard and a black face rushing towards him with two firearms in his hands.

"Song Nan is dead, the brocade guards are coming, let's go quickly." The leading assassin saw the opportunity very quickly, although he didn't see more Jinyi Guards, but the bamboo flutes echoed around, and the person who came was obviously the personal guard of the Jinyi Guard's Fire Guard Battalion in disguise, it seems that the Jinyi Guards arranged a lot of plainclothes on this street, and if they don't leave, they will all die here.

Hearing this, the Assassins moved quickly, raising their swords to slash the seven or eight Assassins who were rolling on the ground and wailing, and as a result, the group rushed to the north, blending into the frantic crowd and fleeing quickly.

"Hou Dabiao, Hou Dabiao." Song Nan shouted loudly.

"Death to the lowly position, the lowly duty is here." Hou Dabiao ran over angrily.

Song Nan ran up the steps while coldly ordering: "Immediately mobilize manpower to block the entire street, there are assassins' crossbowmen on the opposite floor, send someone to arrest them immediately." Wang Yong, why can't he be seen. ”

Hou Dabiao listened to Song Nan's words coldly, without the kindness of speaking on weekdays, and knew in his heart that today was a crime of dereliction of duty, this time there were nearly seventy people who came to the Lamp Market, except for the fourteen people who followed Yang Kou'er to protect them, the rest were walking around the Lamp Market, and they couldn't arrive in time when the chaos started, which caused a big disaster.

"Humble duty deserves death, humble duty pleads."

"Now is not the time to talk about this, the most important thing is to hunt down the assassins with all our might, if I teach them to retreat with all their bodies, it will not be a great shame for my Jinyi Weiqi; Immediately call Wang Yong to see me, where is this guy at this critical time? Song Nan shouted.

Hou Dabiao was speechless, and he didn't know where Wang Yong was, when there was the rumbling sound of firecrackers and the sound of blades clashing across the street, and a personal guard rushed to report: "Waiting for the pacification, Wang Biaoshi fought with the assassin across the street, and there are more than 30 archers hidden on the upper floor across the street. ”

Hou Dabiao looked at Song Nan, and Song Nan shouted: "What are you still doing?" Aren't you going to mobilize people to help, aren't you going to block the streets? ”

Hou Dabiao hurriedly agreed, and took people to go quickly.

When Hou Dabiao left with people, the street suddenly became empty, some of the lanterns on both sides of the street were still shining, some had fallen to the ground, and the candles inside were lit with the crackling of bamboo strips.

The faint sound of fighting and the cries of the people in the distance made this empty street seem lonely and terrifying.

Song Nan stared blankly at the corpses of more than a dozen people on the steps, slowly stepping on the sticky blood and walking up the steps, the tragic situation in front of him was indescribable, these guards held blades in their hands, and black crossbow arrows were inserted in their bodies, maintaining a desperate expression, and some were slashed several times in the fatal part of the head and neck by the assassins who came forward to mend the knife later.

A dozen crossbow arrows were nailed to the closed wooden door, several inches deep into the door, and at the doorway, an officer of the personal guard battalion dressed as a hundred households leaned against the door, his eyes were wide open, his hands stretched out, and no less than twenty feathered arrows were nailed to his chest and abdomen.

Song Nan knew him, this is Du Wancheng, the chief flag officer of the Guards Camp Fire Team, although this person is not deep in seniority and taciturn, but he is loyal and willing to do things, and Song Nan is deeply appreciated, Song Nan has planned to promote him to be a deputy thousand households in the thousands of households in other places after returning to Beijing, but he did not expect to lose his life here.

Song Nan's eyes gradually moistened, and he carefully looked at the corpse of the fallen guard in a haze, but found that he didn't see where Yang Qian'er's body was, Song Nan hurriedly turned around a few times, and shouted in his mouth: "Coo, Coo, Coo'er......"

"Song Gongzi ......" A faint voice came into Song Nan's ears, Song Nan was ecstatic and shouted: "Coo'er, is it you?" Where are you? ”

"Song Gongzi ......, I don't know, I can't move."

This time, Song Nan was sure that it was Yang Qian'er's voice, and he also heard the place where the voice came from, followed the sound, and saw a pair of boots under Du Wancheng's cloak leaning against the door, which were his official boots; Song Nan hurriedly carried Du Wancheng's body away and moved away, only to see Yang Qian'er lying on the ground with her face covered in blood and her big frightened eyes.

"Kou'er......" Song Nan stepped forward and whispered softly.

"Song Gongzi, is that you?"

Song Nansan took off the beard on his face, took off his sheepskin hat, and said hurriedly: "It's me, it's me." ”

Yang Qian'er hugged Song Nan's neck and cried loudly, Song Nan patted her back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all over, it's all over." ”

Yang Ko'er couldn't stop sobbing and choking, hugged Song Nan tightly and didn't let go, Song Nan comforted and sorted out his thoughts, it seems that Yang Ko'er can survive is completely Du Wancheng's work, he used his body to block the crossbow arrows that came to him, and the most crossbow arrows shot at Yang Ko'er, so Du Wancheng was hit by more than 20 arrows, and dozens of arrows were nailed to the door. There is no doubt that the goal of the assassins this time is very clear, they are here to kill themselves, and all the firepower is focused on Yang Kou'er.

Song Nan hugged Yang Qian'er tightly to comfort her, Yang Qian'er's feelings gradually calmed down, Song Nan suddenly remembered one thing, and rushed over without thinking about it just now, but it was too late to inform the master and servant of Ping'an County and let them hide quickly, I don't know if there was an accident in the chaos of their master and servant; Song Nan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the empty street, his heart suddenly cold, and the muscles of his body stiffened.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Yang Ko'er sensed something was wrong, and raised her face from Song Nan's head and neck and asked.

Song Nan silently took her hand and stood up, Yang Ko'er looked at Song Nan's cold eyes, and saw two black shadows standing quietly under the steps, generally tall and short, generally fat and thin, and the clothes behind him were blown up by the night wind and fluttered slowly.

"Lord Song, have you comforted your companion?" Ye Baoren's voice sounded coldly.

"Why don't you two protect the county lord to return to the house, what are you doing here?" Song Nanqiang kept himself calm and said lightly.

"Don't worry, there is something to do, our brothers can't go."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to kill me here, aren't you?"

"Lord Song is really smart, you guessed it, the two of us were ordered by the prince to take your life in the lamp market tonight, then, we won't talk nonsense, do you want to go on the road by yourself, or do you want our brothers to help you?"
