Chapter 164: Assassination

Chapter 164: Assassination

The mighty procession walked out of the Xuanwu Gate and slowly drove along the main street of the capital towards the city gate. On both sides of the road stood soldiers of the Yulin Army in the capital, and where Emperor Luan passed, the people all fell to the ground and shouted: "Who are you playing?" Who to play? Sleep late! ”

Li He and Li Bu were in the middle of the procession, not far from the emperor's carriage. The prince and Gou Sheng had been following them, chattering non-stop. One will congratulate Li He on being named the Marquis of Wuwei, and the other will praise Li He for his courage and good fighting, obviously having nothing to say, and deliberately approaching.

Because the Li family is a supporter of the prince, it is understandable that the prince deliberately enveloped Li He, the future star of the Li family. However, our Li He and Li Hou Ye are familiar to the prince from time to time, "General Li's voice sounds so familiar", "Mr. Gu feels as if he has seen Wuweihou somewhere, hehe" "It seems that Lone and Wuweihou are very fateful, as if they have not seen each other for many years, they are like old friends at first sight." "I was so nervous that I was worried that I would show my feet and recognize him.

It's not that Li He is timid, but the Li family now supports the prince, but he made the prince a eunuch, if the prince knows, things will be very troublesome and troublesome, and it is estimated that grandpa will have to re-plan for the future development of the Li family.

Just when Li He was entangled by the prince and couldn't get out, a noise suddenly came from the front, followed by "There are assassins!" "Escort!" The voices rose and fell. Those gold-armored knights and silver-armored knights also immediately protected the emperor's luan, ministers, and generals, pointing their spears outward, looking well-trained.

And the Ouchi masters and guards hidden in the team also began to move out one after another, facing the black-clad masked assassins who were constantly jumping out of the buildings next to them.

Li He was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then shouted, "Go and rescue the driver!" He stepped directly on the horseback and rushed to the front of the emperor's Luan.

The "whoosh" sound continued to sound, and there were several crossbows in those buildings, constantly firing arrows at the emperor's carriage. However, the emperor's carriage was apparently specially made, and the bow and arrow could not pass through it at all.

There were about twenty black-clothed masked people who had appeared, all of them were first-class masters, and those gold-armored and silver-armored knights had been knocked down by their fists and sword qi before they could get close. Only those Ouchi masters and imperial guards can compete with the men in black. But the man in black came quickly, and with the cooperation of the bows and crossbows on the buildings on both sides, the emperor's carriage was surrounded for a while.

All this happened in a moment, and the people next to him looked stupid, is this a big show? In the capital, there are people who dare to assassinate the emperor in broad daylight?

Seeing that the three imperial guards who were driving to protect the emperor were about to be overwhelmed, two arm-long cross-shaped blades suddenly flew out from the bottom of the carriage, spinning several times on both sides of the carriage like a whirlwind, although they failed to hurt a single black-clothed assassin, they still forced them back a few steps, temporarily alleviating the crisis of the carriage the emperor was riding.

The two crossblades swirled in the air for a while, and then flew back to the bottom of the carriage. Then two figures jumped out from under the carriage and leaped to the roof.

Both were dressed in green tight-fitting robes with bright red grimaces on their faces, holding the center of the cross blade in their hands, standing back to back. These two people were the masters of the Li Mansion, and they were ordered by Taishi Li to protect the emperor's safety after he left the Xuanwu Gate in a carriage.

The black-clothed men were still flying out from all directions, and the Ouchi guards, the Yulin Army, and the imperial guards were also desperately protecting Emperor Luan.

"Smack!" With a bang, Li He had already fallen to the front of the carriage. Because he could not do light work, he jumped so high and fell so hard that he almost broke the wheels, and the eight horses pulling the cart also let out a groan of pain in unison.

"The emperor is frightened! The last general, Li He, came to escort him, but he could protect the emperor Zhou Quan! Li He shouted loudly in the carriage with the appearance of a savior, but it was also as magnificent and powerful as ever.

"You are Li He?!" One of the black-clothed men said in a deep voice at the moment.

Li He raised his eyebrows: "What?" Do you want a signature? ”

"Up! Get rid of him too! The man in black shouted loudly, and several arrows with hidden inner strength immediately shot towards Li He from the tall buildings on both sides.

Li He swung his hands quickly, slapped away the arrows that reached his body, and yelled at the gold-armored knight and silver-armored knight next to him: "You eat dry rice?!" Won't you go up and kill those birdmen who stole the arrows?! Is it cool to stay on horseback? ”

Immediately, dozens of gold-armored knights turned over and dismounted, and the infantry of the Yulin Army on the same side rushed towards the buildings on the side of the road.

As soon as Li He finished speaking, five black-clothed assassins were already approaching him with swords. In addition, a few people actually rushed towards the ministers over there, such as Li Taishi and Zhou Taifu, but the Li family guards hidden in the team were not vegetarians, and they protected several ministers firmly, and no matter how desperate those black-clothed assassins attacked, they couldn't get close to them.

These black-clothed assassins are indeed all masters, with subtle but practical moves and profound internal strength, all of which Li He has never encountered before, even compared to the old man Gou Sheng next to the prince.

After several rounds of competition, Li He's fists had danced so much that he couldn't see the shadow, but he still couldn't block all the attacks, and his body was slashed by swords from time to time, and he was hit by punches and feet. Of course, these attacks are nothing more than a scratch in his boot for him, and they are not worth mentioning.

Compared to Li He, the five black-clothed assassins who besieged him were already terrified in their hearts. They have always been extremely conceited about their martial arts, and they have practiced the art of one-handed combos, confident that no one in the world will survive their full combo. But he didn't want to be now, Li He not only resisted their all-out joint attacks, but also counterattacked from time to time. Their fists struck him like mud into the ocean, and there was no echo, and their swords struck at him like wood splitting iron, and there was no response. And just a blow from his fist to them was enough to make them uncomfortable for a long time, not only was it extremely powerful, but it was also lightning fast. I can't imagine what would happen to a person's body if it was hit by this fist.

Li He was so depressed by their siege that he simply stopped defending, and let their fists, kicks, and swords fall on him like raindrops, and instantly shattered half of the armor, but fortunately, the helmet on his head still remained, and it was not broken.

The figures of the five black-clothed assassins were extremely strange and fast, Li He locked on one of them, and then attacked with all his strength, and finally hit the man's back with a punch, only to hear a click, the spine was immediately broken, and the whole person flew out in a whirlpool.

One of the five people was missing, and his combat strength was immediately reduced, and immediately another person was kicked in the abdomen by Li He, his internal organs were cracked, and blood was sprayed from seven holes, and he flew directly out of more than ten meters, smashed on the wall of a storefront on the street, and fell straight to the ground, convulsing twice and then losing his breath.

Seeing this, the other three hurriedly retreated, and the horror in their hearts was indescribable. They already knew that Li He was invulnerable, and he had the courage to be unstoppable, but one person in the army went straight through without being injured. But he didn't expect that he was so powerful, no matter how much strength, how sharp the knives and guns, plus his body, he couldn't hurt him, and he had strong strength, it was simply a steel fortress that couldn't be killed.

Without the restraint of the five black-clothed masters, Li He continued to deal with the black-clothed assassins who attacked the emperor next to him with two Li Mansion masters with cross-blades. One-on-one, no one can get over ten moves with Li He, as long as he hits them twice, he can easily kill them. In a short time, he alone had killed six black-clothed assassins, more than the other royal guards, Ouchi masters, and Li family masters combined.

Although there were dozens of black-clothed assassins at this time, the number of Ouchi masters, imperial guards, and Li Mansion masters was even larger, and they were still increasing, not to mention the soldiers of the Yulin Army who were densely packed like ants next to them.

Suddenly caught a glimpse of the prince and Gou Sheng behind him looking over in the middle of the team, Li He's heart moved, subdued the assassin in his hand, and without looking, he seemed to throw it behind at random, and it happened to fall between the prince and Gou Sheng.

The assassin naturally wanted to assassinate the prince with his sword, but Gou Sheng hurriedly blocked it, and the two immediately fought together.

Seeing that Gou Sheng was still at ease with the assassin, Li He grabbed another assassin and kicked him in the ass at will, kicking him in the direction of the prince.

As a result, Gou Sheng became a dozen and two, but he was still evenly matched and did not show defeat.

"Wow, so good?" Li He cursed in his heart, roared, and saw that the emperor's Luan was already full of Da Nei masters, imperial guards and Li Mansion masters who had caught up, and they were safe, so he waved his big hand from the place where the black-clothed assassins were the most, and threw them into the sky one by one, and after a while, seven or eight black-clothed assassins were thrown up, and as a result, they all happened to fall beside the prince, and the prince's golden robe was particularly conspicuous, and immediately became the target of their assassination.

Gou Sheng alone was beyond the reach of three, and Li Bu next to him also came up to help, but if it weren't for the desperate protection of several Ouchi guards, the prince would probably have died in the hands of the assassins.

In the eyes of others, Li He was just fighting hard, very brave, and he actually knocked the assassins into the air, no one could have imagined that he would deliberately throw the assassins to the prince's side at this time.

"Mom, why aren't you dead?" Li He glanced behind him again, but saw that the prince had gradually broken away from the battle group after retreating under the escort of everyone.

Li He wanted to get rid of the crown prince by the hand of the assassin, but it happened to be in vain, saving a lot of things. But this prince's life is too damn big, so many master assassins can't kill him?

At this moment, more than a dozen shadows suddenly appeared from the streets and alleys next to him, rushing towards this side like a dozen lightning bolts, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Emperor Luan's car, fighting with those masked assassins.

Li He recognized that several of them, who had seen them in the Li Mansion, were several guards with superb martial arts in the Li Mansion.

"Boom! ————" A long bell rang in the imperial city, and it came from afar. After a while, the eight gates around the capital also responded to the long horn.

The people on the streets have been rushed open by the Yulin Army of the Capital City and the Yulin Army of the Imperial City who rushed from all directions, and the eight gates of the city have all been closed.

"Withdraw! - "Cen Tou, the leader of the assassins who was commanding on the roof of a nearby restaurant, waved his hand hatefully to the men next to him: "Go down the tunnel, everyone leave immediately!" ”

"But...... The emperor is there, please let his subordinates ......" The black-clothed man held the hilt of his sword and seemed to be a little eager to try.

Cen Tou glared at him, and said in a cold voice: "Not to mention the invulnerable Tiger General Li He, just say that these Da Nei masters who have arrived, can you deal with them?" Don't be wordy, we've already withdrawn late, and if we don't leave, we will end up with the annihilation of the whole army! With that, he had already floated down to the roof, followed by several of his men.

"Goo~~~" A strange voice sounded over the main street of the capital, and those black-clothed assassins looked up at the sky one after another, and began to evacuate from all directions.

However, now this main street of the capital, which was originally extremely spacious and could accommodate several large carriages, has been filled with nearly seventy percent of the masters in the capital, plus the Yulin Army and the Royal Cavalry, it has long been crowded, and where is it so easy to escape. Many black-clad assassins were desperately trying to escape to block the attacks of Ouchi's masters, but they were stabbed in the face with spears by the cavalry of the Yulin Army everywhere.

Most of the Ouchi masters, imperial guards, and masters of the Li Mansion stayed to protect the emperor, and only some of them went to pursue the fleeing black-clothed assassins, but even this part was dozens of them, and Li He was one of them.

Li He set his sights on a black-clothed assassin, and from just now, he found that he had very high martial arts and was ruthless, and he was one of the more powerful characters among these black-clothed masters. However, just far away, when Li Hezhun was passed, the black-clothed assassin had already begun to escape, so he pursued all the way.

The black-clothed assassin was very skillful, jumping up and down from room to roof like a small squirrel, flickering left and right, apparently discovering Li He's stalking, and taking him around in circles, trying to get rid of him.

Although Li He doesn't know how to work lightly, with his super bounce and explosive power, he still follows him like a shadow. It's just that the place he passed, the place he stepped on hard, was either trampled down, or left a deep footprint, and the muffled sound of "bangbang" was endless.

The two chased after each other, and they had already crossed several streets, and in front of them was the East City Gate, where a large number of Yulin troops in the capital were being mobilized and the masters of Ouchi who came to guard the city gate. The black-clothed assassin immediately made a sharp turn and ran to the left, Li He followed closely, never giving up, and kept scolding: "You dead pig's trotters, so you can run, wait for Lao Tzu to catch you and see that you can't cut your leg as a specimen!" ……”

After chasing a relatively secluded alley, the black-clothed assassin suddenly stopped, stood on the roof of a house, and looked coldly at Li He, who had followed him, with a cold light in his eyes. I think there is only one person chasing him, and he is ready to deal with it. But he didn't notice that this person was Li He, who had just killed several of them with his bare hands.

Li He also landed on the roof of a house and was about to stand, but because the inertia was too strong, he directly smashed a hole in the roof, and a burst of smoke and dust rose up, and the black-clothed assassin's eyes were straight, and he forgot to take this opportunity to escape.

However, Li He quickly jumped up from the house again, stood firmly on the roof, patted the dust on his body, straightened the "chicken butt helmet" on his head, and pointed his index finger and middle finger at the black-clothed assassin opposite, coughed twice, spit dusty spit, and said sharply: "Bold assassin, Li He, the general of the Great Xia Pingyu, Wuwei Hou, is here, why don't you kneel down and surrender?!" ”

The cold light in the assassin's eyes soared, and suddenly a short dagger was conjured from his wrist, and he rose up, striking Li He like a gust of wind.

Li Heyin laughed, didn't dodge, and stood in place waiting for him.

The short dagger was slammed into the side of Li He's neck, but it didn't get in at all. At the same time, Li He's left hand clawed at the Assassin's shoulder, preparing to lock him up and capture him alive. But he didn't want the assassin's reaction to be so fast, and when he was about to catch it, he tilted his shoulder and dodged. Li He's hand immediately changed direction, but it hit the assassin's chest.

Originally, Li He's fingers were full of strength, as hard as steel bars, and when he grabbed it, he wanted to tighten it, but he suddenly found that it didn't feel right - so soft!?

"Ahh A delicate scream sounded in his ears, and Li He's tightened left hand quickly loosened, and his right hand went around the assassin's waist and helped him to fall steadily to the roof.

Li He looked at the assassin in amazement, his left hand still on his chest, but now he had no strength.

As soon as the assassin stood firm, he immediately felt a burning pain in his left chest, looked at the big hand that was still clutching his chest, and his heart was filled with anger, and he suddenly broke away from Li He's embrace, so that the crisp chest was separated from his left claw, and his whole body jumped up and spun half a circle, and stabbed him in the neck with all his strength with the short dagger.

Li He still maintained his original movements, his neck was stiffly bearing the stab of a short dagger, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", and the dagger was broken into two.

And Li He only muttered two words at this time: "It's a big ......"

The assassin was ashamed and angry, but the dagger was broken, and suddenly he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and several figures on the roof of the house were galloping in this direction, stamping his feet hatefully, glaring at Li He, pointing at his nose and scolding: "You whore! I'll be back for you! With that, he jumped off the roof of the house and disappeared around the corner of the street.

Li He reacted and hurriedly said, "Hey! Don't go yet! He jumped off the roof, but was nowhere to be seen.

Li He recalled the faint fragrance he had just smelled in his nose, the delicate firmness he felt in his hands bound in the belt, and the screams peculiar to women and the delicate word "lewd thief", and he was already sure that this assassin was a woman.

"Why did you just leave? ......" Li He stood at the corner of the street and sighed a little lost, remembering the words of the female assassin before leaving, he couldn't help but say to himself, "Will you still come to me?" Did you find it? She shouldn't be able to speak......

At this time, two figures fell behind him, and they were the two Li Mansion masters in green clothes with grimaces and cross blades.

"Second son, are you alright?" The two of them asked respectfully.

Li He didn't answer, turned around and walked back with his hands behind his back, and when he passed by the two of them, he muttered: "It's really the best crispy breasts...... and the two of them were confused.
