Chapter 235: Assassination
"Seven princes, it's all solved!"
In a dense forest hundreds of kilometers away from Kyoto, corpses are everywhere at this time.
Shen Qiu, Feng Tianyi, and several other Li Chengwen's personal guards returned to Li Chengwen's side with blood-stained blades.
At this moment, the people were already covered in blood, and they couldn't remember that this was the first time they had been attacked by killers when they left the Pingzhou realm.
"What exactly are these killers? Why ambush us from the road? ”
At this moment, Li Chengwen is also in a very bad state, his face is pale and bloodless.
"Sword Rain Tower!"
Shen Qiu on the side spoke lightly, and at the same time raised a token in his hand, this token was found by Shen Qiu on a killer, and this token was the token of Jian Yulou.
"Sword Rain Tower?"
Li Chengwen's eyes froze, and his eyes were full of coldness.
"Looks like someone in Kyoto doesn't want me to go back smoothly."...
The gentle voice was mixed with a little coldness at the moment, and Li Chengwen's eyes were full of coldness at this moment.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, since it is a person from Jianyulou, I am afraid that the road back to Beijing will not be so smooth. The killers who appear now are just a group of rabble, and presumably the real masters have not yet appeared. ”
Feng Tianyi said with a frown.
"It's not good to stay here, let's get out of here first. After 50 kilometers to Liaocheng, I will mobilize a part of the garrison to escort us back to Kyoto as the Seventh Prince, which can also relieve a lot of pressure. ”
Li Chengwen said.
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Drive!"
Shen Qiu and the others turned over on their horses, raised their whips and whipped them fiercely, and everyone walked away.
"We are the personal guards of the Seven Princes of the Dawu Dynasty, quickly open the city gate!"
In front of the closed city gate, several of Li Chengwen's guards lined up on horseback, and one of them immediately shouted at the defenders on the city wall.
After a few hours of fast horseback, when Li Chengwen and his party arrived outside Liaocheng, it was already evening, and the city gate had already been closed at this time.
"The Seventh Prince?"
The defenders on the city wall glanced at the people below suspiciously, and their eyes immediately fell on Li Chengwen in the middle of the team, for these defenders, they had never seen Li Chengwen, and Li Chengwen had been sent out of the barracks since he was a child, so that although they had heard of Li Chengwen, they had never seen it.
I saw that one of the defenders who seemed to be the captain laughed and said: "How do we know whether what you said is true or false, I'm sorry everyone, there have been frequent thieves in Liaocheng recently, your origin is unknown, we don't dare to let you enter the city rashly, I see, you better stay outside for one night, and wait for tomorrow morning to enter the city." ”
"Bold!"
Hearing the words of this captain, one of the guards immediately shouted angrily and was about to speak, while Feng Tianyi on the side was more active, directly taking off the bow and crossbow on the horse's back, and drawing the bow and arrows.
The arrow flew out, as fast as lightning, in the case that the Wu Chang failed to come back to his senses at all, the arrow was directly against his cheek, and the hot pain hit instantly, and after coming back to his senses, the Wu Chang reached out and touched his cheek, and he actually felt the slightest trace of blood.
At the same time, Feng Tianyi's cold voice suddenly sounded: "This is just a warning, insult the prince of the dynasty, and the crime should destroy the nine clans!" Open the city gate quickly, otherwise, the next arrow will definitely take your life! ”
When Wu Chang heard this, he was furious, and said angrily: "Someone! There are assassins who want to break into the gates, take it for me! ”
"Yes!"
Qi Qi's response fell, and more than a dozen defenders armed with bows and arrows appeared on the wall one after another, taking bows and arrows, and they couldn't help but say that they were directly attacking Li Chengwen and others below.
"Bold!"
More than a dozen guards shouted angrily in unison, and several people instantly went to Li Chengwen's surroundings, waving the long knife in their hands, and blocking the attacking arrows.
Seeing this, Shen Qiu Feng Tianyi and the two immediately did not hesitate, and jumped directly and flew to the city wall, but when they wanted to make a move, they were forced to retreat by the attacking arrows.
The closed gates slowly open (this chapter is not over!). )
Chapter 235: Assassination
, nearly a hundred defenders rushed out of the city with swords in hand, and surrounded Li Chengwen and others in the blink of an eye.
"Take down these Assassins!"
Under the order of Wu Chang, nearly a hundred defenders flocked to Li Chengwen and his party.
Li Chengwen and his entourage were not to be outdone, and instantly fought with the besieging defenders.
Outside the city, a group of people were fighting in full swing, but how could these defenders be the opponents of Li Chengwen and his party, in less than a few minutes, there were a large number of casualties on the defenders' side.
On the city wall, Wu Chang saw that so many people couldn't take down these dozen people, and his face was full of anger.
And just at this moment, suddenly, an angry shout sounded, Wu Chang looked down, his face suddenly showed a touch of joy, and then hurriedly rushed down the city wall, came to the owner of the angry shout, and knelt down on one knee.
"General! The general came at the right time, these people looked at the break into the city, and the last general tried his best to stop them, but I didn't expect them to kill so many of our brothers, and ask the general to take down this group of rebellious ministers and thieves! ”
Wu Chang immediately arrived.
On the other side, after Shen Qiu and the others finished solving the defenders beside them, they stopped and turned around to look at the people slowly.
"The last general, Zhen Hong, has seen the Seven Princes!"
When the general of the Liaocheng garrison saw Li Chengwen in the crowd, he immediately stepped forward, stroked his sleeves, half-knelt on the ground, and spoke respectfully.
"Get up."
Li Chengwen said lightly, Zhen Hong stood up, and then walked in front of Wu Chang, and slapped him in the face without saying anything.
"Who gave you the courage to dare to do something to the Seventh Prince! Come! Stay with Ma Hong! ”
As soon as Zhen Hong's voice fell, several soldiers who came with him immediately stepped forward, picked up Ma Hong, who fell to the ground, and pressed him down.
"The last general didn't know that the Seven Princes were coming, and he couldn't meet them from afar, and he hoped that the Seven Princes would forgive his sins!"
Zhen Hong hurriedly went to Li Chengwen again, and said in fear.
For the seven princes of the royal family, if it was before, Zhen Hong would never be so respectful to him.
But now it's different, the Seven Princes have made a contribution to quelling the Pingzhou riots, this matter is no longer a secret thing, plus he learned from his colleagues in the palace that the Seven Princes may be knighted when they return to Beijing this time, with his status as a prince, even if it is not good, he will be a prince in the future, Zhen Hong naturally wants to stammer.
Li Chengwen shook his head: "General Zhen is serious, take us into the city first, this prince has something to discuss with the general." ”
"Good! Seven Princes, please! ”
Under the leadership of Zhen Hong, Li Chengwen and his party entered the city at this time, originally thinking that this turmoil was over, but in vain, Shen Qiu's burst of cheers sounded.
"Be careful!"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Qiu's figure instantly rushed to Li Chengwen's side!
