Chapter 250: Assassination
The forest is full of trees, and the occasional birdsong startles.
Not far away, a team of horses slowly drove by, light and quiet.
It was Xia Bohan and his party.
Out of Chengpingzhou County, Xia Bohan ordered his subordinates to hurry at full speed, and in just three days, they went out of the state and county, and at this moment they had arrived at a place called Jijinglin.
Xia Bohan sat in the car, his eyes slightly closed, but his heart was not calm.
The capital suddenly changed, and in an instant, it reached the point of relative warfare, and chaos in the world has appeared.
The Xia family dominates the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is the core of the waist and abdomen, and the land of fish and rice is rich in grain and grass, once there is a war, the south of the Yangtze River will be in danger!
In such a situation, he has to rush back no matter what, to calm people's hearts and stabilize his power, it is best to let the entire Xia family fall silent and survive this catastrophe in peace......
At this moment, the leader of the guards outside the carriage whispered:
"My lord, the road ahead is dense, and there is a fear of an ambush, but you want to send scouts to explore the way?"
Xia Bohan hummed softly, and the carriage slowly stopped.
A long time passed, but no one came to report it outside the carriage for a long time.
Xia Bohan twisted his eyebrows slightly, and was about to speak, but the inner wall of the carriage was suddenly pierced by a sharp arrow!
In an instant, cold sweat broke out all over Xia Bohan's body, he took a deep breath, he immediately stabilized his mind, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.
The eagle's eyes were sharp, and Xia Bohan's voice was low:
"What happened?!"
He was answered by the panicked screams outside the carriage, and the slightly panicked voice of the head of the guard:
"Your Excellency...... Someone has robbed the road!"
At the same time, as if to confirm the statement of the leader of the guard, the sonorous sound of weapons colliding and the sound of roaring and scolding sounded!
Xia Bohan's heart jumped, and he lifted the curtain, but unexpectedly a snow-white and cold blade stabbed in front of him!
Xia Bohan's pupils shrank!
"Zheng!"
The blade was knocked down by the guards outside the carriage with all their might, and the leader of the guards was frightened by the sword just now, and slashed the person with his backhand:
"Be careful, adults!"
Xia Bohan's expression was very calm, he bowed slightly, and his eyes quickly swept over the chaotic battle in front of him.
The person who came was obviously menacing, and he was well prepared.
The Assassins, dressed in simple clothes and working as farmers, with a lot of grass clippings under their sleeves, had apparently been in ambush for a long time.
I chose a good place.
Jijinglin is the junction of the two counties, and it has always been mixed, with complex personnel and complex management, and even if a group of assassins suddenly appear, it is easy to hide from the world.
This group of people was also fierce and vicious, and the outer guards were almost powerless to resist, and a large piece fell in a short time, and only the inner guards struggled to support each other.
Xia Bohan only stared at it for a moment, and knew that this group of people would not last long.
The force of the comers is really high.
When he left Chengpingzhou County, he left most of the guards with Ru'an, and only brought some of his own men.
He knew that his force was weak, so he hurried along the way, and the route he chose was as close to the official road as possible, but he didn't expect to be picked up.
I just don't know if this just right assassination was an accident or a conspiracy......
It's just an accident, if it's a conspiracy, I'm only afraid of a big basket around me.
Xia Bohan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't delay at all and jumped out of the carriage, and said in a cold voice:
"Don't dwell on it, retreat into the forest!"
The guards understood.
The scenery forest is densely wooded, and as long as you hide in it, you can use the terrain to fight with this group of people.
The leader of the guard simply gave up part of his manpower, and gathered around Xia Bohan with a few capable men, escorting Xia Bohan to quickly hide in the mountains and forests.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, a sharp arrow swept through like a meteor, shooting accurately at Xia Bohan and his party!
"Your Excellency!"
The guards drank so hard that they didn't want to stop this sharp arrow with their bodies!
Blood splattered instantly,
But everyone was not half happy, for no other reason, the arrow seemed to turn on some switch, and the next moment the overwhelming arrow fell from the sky!
Xia Bohan was dripping with cold sweat, but he keenly noticed a trace of weirdness.
The sharp arrows were overwhelming, but they avoided his vital point intentionally or unintentionally, but the sharp arrows that rushed at the guards were extremely ruthless.
The guards on the side also discovered this, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said loudly:
"This group of thieves has no intention of harming adults, adults don't care about us, hurry into the mountains and forests to hide!"
How could Xia Bohan behave like this, and scolded him at the moment:
"Ridiculous!"
"I'm an official of the imperial court, how can I survive in secret!"
Since this group of people is fighting the idea of capturing him alive, they can take advantage of this to maneuver for a while!
Xia Bohan picked up the sword on the corpse of a guard, and guarded it in front of him with a little rustiness:
"We will advance and retreat with you!"
"Wait a little longer, someone will help!"
As soon as these words came out, the morale of the surroundings was greatly boosted!
Only Xia Bohan smiled bitterly in his heart, secretly praying that these words could scare off the thieves on the other side.
I also hope that my own people can hold on for a little longer.
However, the sky did not obey people's wishes, and the killing power of the opposite side did not decrease at all, and even became more and more courageous, but the guards around Xia Bohan fell one after another......
The disgusting bloody aura became thicker and thicker, Xia Bohan's hand holding the sword began to ache, and seeing that only three guards remained, Xia Bohan closed his eyes in despair.
Could it be that the heavens are going to kill me?
The imaginary doom has not yet come.
The air suddenly filled the air with a cold sword aura.
Xia Bohan suddenly opened his eyes!
A black shadow was like a ghost, fluttering, coming and going without a trace, and the invisible sword qi was agitated, sweeping away all the sharp arrows like four or two thousand catties!
Xia Bohan saw the face of the person who came, and he was overjoyed, and said loudly:
"Thank you for the rescue!"
The black shadow didn't seem to hear it, and even its body didn't pause for a moment, and after sweeping away the sharp arrow, it flew like a swallow into the crowd fighting fiercely in the distance.
I saw that his sword aura was like a rainbow, light and accurate, like a blade that harvested human lives, and there were very few roars everywhere he went.
The vicious Assassins were killed without even uttering a wail.
Xia Bohan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he gently pushed away the cautious guards beside him, looking at the black shadow without blinking.
It wasn't until the last three assassins were left that the black shadow suddenly withdrew his sword, quickly controlled the three men's acupoints with both hands, and then kicked the three assassins to their knees and fell to the ground.
Xia Bohan strode forward:
"Lin Xia Shi is mighty! I can't thank you enough for saving your life!"
Lin Bin glanced at him lightly, his voice calm
"It is not enough to be entrusted by others."
Xia Bohan's smile did not decrease:
"Xia knows Mrs. Xie's righteousness, but he can't help but be a knight of Xie Lin."
He couldn't refute anything more when he said this, so he could only be silent, his eyes looking at the assassins on the ground.
Xia Bohan didn't think it was wrong, a martial arts master like Lin Bin had a more or less cold personality, and he had seen more rudeness and indifference than Lin Bin.
In contrast, Lin Bin's personality can be called approachable.
He carefully observed Lin Bin's expression, vaguely guessed his vein, and didn't say any more nonsense, but stepped forward and glared coldly at the three people on the ground:
"Who is Pyle waiting for?"
The three of them looked at each other, a hint of strangeness flashing in their eyes.
Lin Bin's body suddenly moved slightly, and he stepped forward like a ghost to hold the chins of the three people, only to hear a grunt, and the chins of the three people were actually removed by him!
Immediately after two fingers, he pinched out three poison sacs.
"Insect carving skills."
Lin Bin sneered, raised his hand rudely, and the three of them burst into tears of pain, falling to the ground and glaring at Lin Bin viciously.
Xia Bohan's expression changed, so fearless of life and death, this
They were clearly well-trained dead soldiers.
The dead man, born without care, was carefully adjusted to the monster, and he would die when he came out, and he never had the expectation of survival.
It's harder to ask for something than to climb to the sky.
Xia Bohan frowned and asked for the last time:
"If you tell me who is behind the scenes, I can let you live and never be held accountable!"
"You can also find a proper place for you to settle accounts to prevent you from being hunted down and settled......
"Old thief! If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, and Hugh will grind and chirp!"
An assassin rudely interrupted Xia Bohan's words, his face hideous:
"We will never rebel!"
"Dog officials like you, on weekdays, fish and flesh the people, loot the people's fat and ointment, what about us ordinary people killing a few of you dog officials?!"
Xia Bohan laughed angrily:
"What a common man, do you think that if you wear a peasant's clothes, you are really a peasant?"
"What farmer has such a ruthless skill as you!"
The assassin was not afraid at all, no matter what Xia Bohan said, he bit to death that he was an exploited civilian, but continued to curse Xia Bohan a few words.
Xia Bohan's face turned completely cold.
"Okay, self-defeating rats."
"Do you think that without you, I won't be able to catch the mastermind?"
"The old man's enemies are only a few, and they will always be found when they are checked slowly."
"It's a pity that you have a rotten life, but it is easy to die."
He snorted coldly, and the guards on the side immediately understood his thoughts, and strode forward without blinking and raised their hands to cut the throats of the three people.
Lin Bin stood aside with his hands crossed, and he was unmoved when he saw this scene, as if he was watching a play.
Xia Bohan was furious in his heart, but he treated him with extra courtesy, and his face was kind in a blink of an eye:
"Xia once again thanked Lin Chivalrous for his righteousness, but he just asked for something next."
Lin Bin seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said indifferently:
"I was ordered to escort Lord Xia back to Jiangnan, I missed the hour in my hurry, and I will protect Lord Xia for the rest of the journey."
Xia Bohan originally planned to hire him to escort him with a lot of money, but most of the guards around him were killed and injured, and his vitality was greatly damaged, so it was definitely a life of nine deaths to go on the road like this.
Even though he knew that Lin Bin was not good at being moved by money, he thought that he was going to give up his old face and bleed profusely, but he didn't expect it to be so easy!
Xia Bohan was rarely overjoyed, but it was too obvious for him Lin Bin looked at him and said:
"Lin has always only been sent by others, and it was also my wife who expected that the adult's journey here would be bumpy, so she sent me to follow closely behind."
"Lord Xia, why don't you talk to my wife in detail in the future."
Xia Bohan was so shrewd, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Lin Bin didn't want to accept it.
These martial arts masters really have strange temperaments.
As a dignified household secretary, he is so grateful that the person in front of him doesn't care at all, and even looks like he doesn't want to be implicated.
Xia Bohan was also quite knowledgeable, and since Lin Bin didn't want to be involved with him, he also praised Ye Hao instead.
"Mrs. Xie is a heroine among women, heroic and extraordinary, this life-saving grace, Xia must remember it in his heart, and he will never dare to forget it!"
Lin Bin smiled slightly when he heard this:
"In this case, Lord Xia can rest here for a while, and Lin can leave at any time."
Xia Bohan smiled bitterly:
"There are only a few people around me, and there is nothing to rest from."
He turned and commanded:
"Collect the corpse, come back another day to collect the bones."
Then looked at Lin Bin:
"Lin Xia can ride with me, and I will be more relaxed along the way."
Lin Bin nodded dispensably.
Xia Bohan was completely relieved in his heart, and then remembered the origin of this person, and he really felt grateful to the Xie family in his heart.
although
Strangely, the grace of saving lives is indeed real.
Xie Yunshu and Ye Zhen's love, he agreed.
