Chapter 18: Assassination

Fortunately, with the help of two guards, Ba Sanhu and Yan Xiaoliu, they carried left and right to control the running speed of his war horse, and barely reached Longxi Village.

Isn't it very cool and majestic to gallop on horseback?

The answer is yes, but the consequences are a bit sour, especially for novice rookies who have just learned to ride horses, the inner thighs of the two thighs are worn out, and they have to walk with their legs open.

Brain make up the picture, a handsome guy with lap legs, as sour as he wants.

Jing Xiu is a little sad, it's really not good not to ride a horse, even if he doesn't want to go into battle to tear up, but if he runs away for his life or something, only the fastest can run on a horse, which also means that he may become a handsome guy with lap legs.

Complaining is complaining, he still resolutely carried out the task, with Ba Sanhu and Yan Xiaoliu, and two of his subordinates guarding the entrance of the village, carefully checking the villagers who entered and exited the village.

This time when they came out to do errands, Jing Xiu and the others were prepared, and each of them wore a hat to shade the sun, otherwise, they would have to take off a layer of skin if they stood in the scorching sun and were exposed to the sun.

I don't know how long it took, Jing Xiu squatted so that her legs were numb, the clothes on her body were soaked with sweat, and she was very uncomfortable.

It was a strange feeling, as if a sudden chill of uneasiness, nervousness ran down his spine, as if something bad was about to happen.

He subconsciously turned his head to look around, and saw a middle-aged man riding a majestic black horse on a dirt road not far away, as if he was about to enter the village.

Approaching a distance of 100 steps, the middle-aged man turned his horse's head and walked to the side, and everyone, including Jing Xiu, was stunned, what was the situation?

"Childe be careful, there are assassins." The sharp-eyed Yan Xiaoliu let out a frightened warning sound, made a quick move, and pushed Jing Xiu away.

He saw the middle-aged man riding on horseback suddenly turn around, holding a big bow that had been drawn into a full moon and aimed at Jing Xiu, the iron arrowhead flashing in the sun, and he was immediately frightened.

Whoosh –

In the piercing roar of the arrows flying rapidly through the air, a cold light shot like lightning, and the target was Jing Xiu.

With a strange sound, Yan Xiaoliu took off the big bow hanging on his back as quickly as possible, slapped the arrows that shot at him, wound them quickly, the big bow was pulled into a full moon shape, and then loosened the strings, and the sharp arrows turned into a cold light, flying towards the assassin like lightning.

Orion was born as a natural archer, plus he has been a border army for several years, and after hundreds of battles of all sizes, his archery skills have to improve rapidly, if the Great Qin Empire wants to make a ranking of the top ten marksmen, he is definitely on the list.

The Assassin was very subtle, and after firing an arrow, he immediately urged his mount to run, regardless of whether it hit the target or not.

The arrow is quenched with the poison of blood sealing the throat, and the one in it will die, and he is extremely confident in his archery skills, so he doesn't need to look at the result at all, the target will definitely die.

He escaped with one blow, and it was really unexpected, there was no time to react and catch up, of course, sometimes overconfidence turns into arrogance, arrogance, and sometimes there is a price.

The assassin didn't expect Yan Xiaoliu's reaction to be so fast, let alone his excellent archery skills, and when he heard the roar of a powerful arrow flying rapidly through the air behind him, it was already too late, and out of the instinct to save his life, he only had to twist his waist.

"Ah......" A sharp pain suddenly came from the left back shoulder socket, so that he couldn't help but let out a painful scream, his body shook, and he almost fell off the horse's back, and then lay on the horse's back, hugged the horse's neck, and galloped wildly.

"It's a pity ......" Yan Xiaoliu watched the assassin's back disappear from view, and sighed regretfully.

The assassin was not only a sharpshooter, but also a ruthless man, and he didn't fall off his horse with an arrow in the shoulder socket.

"Childe, this arrow is poisonous."

The sudden change made Ba Sanhu and the two guards very nervous, and they were on guard with their swords, and they were relieved to find that there was only one assassin and had fled.

Ba Sanhu picked up the arrow that was shot down by Yan Xiaoliu, and when he saw the arrow flashing blue light, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, this arrow was obviously quenched with poison, even if it was just a little bit of skin, it could kill people, and it was poisonous.

"Childe, is it ......" Yan Xiaoliu looked at Jing Xiu, his eyes flashed with a cold glin, if he didn't guess wrong, the assassin should be a killer sent by the Lin family, but I don't know if it's the Quyang Lin family or the Xinyue Lin family?

Jing Xiu nodded, and motioned to him with his eyes not to say it, he had just crossed over to the Fengwu Continent for a few days, and there were few people he knew, except for the Quyang Lin family, it seemed that there were really no enemies.

As for whether the assassins were sent by the Quyang Lin family or the Xinyue Lin family, what is the difference, they are all members of the family, just count them on their heads.

He didn't expect the Lin family to be so eager to retaliate, which made him have to be vigilant, and at the same time aroused his desire to win, it seems that he and the Lin family are in an endless death.

It seems that you have to improve your strength as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, the village sounded the bamboo whistle of the return team, Jing Xiu took people into the village, looking at the sky, it was almost evening, the sun was setting, it was estimated that he could not return to the city, and he wanted to stay in the village for one night.

When they returned to the village, they saw more than a dozen secret guards all injured, although the injuries were not serious, but they were all green skin and swollen faces, extremely embarrassed, Jing Xiu and the others were shocked.

After inquiry, I learned that the Qin prisoner was a masked woman, and her martial arts were very powerful, and dozens of secret guards surrounded her, and even Shen Qing and Tang Qing couldn't keep anyone when they joined forces.

When they saw that Shen Qing and Tang Qing were pale, their voices were lacking in anger, and it was obvious that they had suffered a lot of internal injuries, Jing Xiu and the others knew that the buddy just now was talking implicitly.

Under the siege of the two captains, more than a dozen good hands, and dozens of secret guards, not to mention keeping people, everyone was beaten up extremely embarrassed, but fortunately, the other party's subordinates showed mercy and did not hurt the killer, otherwise they would end up with a tragic end of annihilation.

Well, family ugliness can't be spread out, who dares to say it, deduct a year's salary.

"Is there a mistake in the information?" Jing Xiu's heart moved, he vaguely guessed something, and his face instantly became a little gloomy.

"We were fooled." Shen Qing said in a dark voice.

Someone wanted to use their hands to kill the mysterious woman who was a martial artist, or rather, to eradicate them with the woman's hand, but unexpectedly the mysterious woman did not kill the killer, but just taught Shen Qing and the others a lesson, and left.

Afterwards, Shen Qing reacted and wanted to take down the villager who was informant for interrogation, and found that the person had been sealed with a sword, and he couldn't die anymore.

Because of this, he deduced that someone was behind the scenes, but he didn't know the real purpose.

"Perhaps, their real target is me."
