The endless darkness of the night, the pouring rain, the remote and uninhabited mountain roads, and the piercing screams of unknown birds in the fierce winds add a touch of terror to the surrounding atmosphere. Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves resounded through the valley, and a dozen fast horses came galloping, all of them wearing cloaks and robes, and they couldn't see their true appearance.

"Dashuai, this road is much closer, but when we encounter heavy rain, it is more difficult to walk than usual."

The voice of the speaker is loud, even in the heavy rain, which makes people hear very clearly, and it is obvious that the foundation is not weak. This person is Lu Qingping, the personal guard with a knife of the generalissimo of the "Nanyun Kingdom" soldiers and horses, Qian Zhenting. He and Qian Zhenting ran side by side at the front of the line.

Qian Zhenting nodded and just wanted to speak, but suddenly looked around vigilantly as if he realized something.

A slight abnormal sound reached his ears, although the wind and rain were loud enough to cover up a lot of sounds now, but Qian Zhenting had excellent hearing, and his martial arts were the best in the army, so although the voice was very low, it still couldn't hide from his ears and eyes. He knew it was the sound of a night walker moving rapidly on a tree trunk.

At the same time, Lu Qingping also noticed it, glanced around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "Marshal, something is wrong." ”

Qian Zhenting nodded, stopped the reins of the horse, and said to the people behind him: "Everyone be careful. ”

As soon as Qian Zhenting's words fell, more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out.

"Marshal be careful"

Lu Qingping reminded Qian Zhenting loudly as he used the long sword in his hand to dismiss several crossbow arrows that came from him. One of the guards in the middle of the line fell to the ground screaming from an arrow in the chest.

"There is an ambush, hurry, rush out"

Qian Zhenting swung his blade and fired the crossbow arrows as he led his men forward. A dozen fast horses galloped forward, but before they could go a few feet away, a black thing came like a dark cloud, mixed with a harsh and unpleasant buzzing sound. Obviously, it is a poisonous bee, and the number is estimated to be as many as thousands.

Screams rang out again from the ranks, and several more guards fell under their horses with their faces covered.

Lu Qingping waved his long sword to cut down the poisonous bees that flew one by one, and shouted loudly: "Marshal, this is the Miaojiang black-headed bee, and the one who was stung will not survive the next day." All this was clearly premeditated. ”

"Qingping, we are only afraid of falling into the scheme, hurry up and kill it, go back to the Marshal's Mansion, and we are afraid of changes."

As soon as Qian Zhenting's words fell, a gloomy laughter suddenly echoed around: "It's too late to react now, Qian Zhenting, the people from the Marshal's Mansion are already waiting for you on Huangquan Road." Ha ha! ”

The laughter became louder and louder, as if it was going to overshadow the sound of wind and rain, which made everyone's ear drums numb for a while, and at the same time, they almost felt the pain of the eardrum bursting, and a guard suddenly covered his ears and fell off the horse.

More than two dozen black shadows rushed straight towards them as fast as lightning, and the scimitars in each person's hand illuminated the surroundings as dazzling as day.

"There are assassins, protect the marshal."

Lu Qingping intercepted the two black-clothed men at the front and fought fiercely one against two.

The three black-clothed men attacked Qianzhen Court at the same time, and the three scimitars covered the acupoints of Qianzhen Ting's body, and bursts of knife light formed an inseparable knife net, and the moves directly hit the key points of Qianzhen Court.

Qian Zhenting became more and more frightened the more he fought, and the martial arts of the three black-clothed men who trapped him were obviously at least among the second-rate masters of the rivers and lakes, except for Lu Qingping, the other guards were difficult to deal with. And these three people are obviously not the leaders of this night attack. What frightened him the most was that he felt a sudden cold qi rising in his body, and every time he lifted his qi, he felt a faint pain in his chest, and as time went on, this pain became more obvious.

There was another fierce sound of blade collision, Qian Zhenting pushed away the three scimitars, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back, the pain in his chest suddenly increased violently, his face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

"Dashuai"

Lu Qingping, who was not far away, noticed the strangeness of Qianzhenting, the sword in his hand was like a dragon going out to sea, and a sword stabbed a man in black in the chest, and then immediately rose into the air and shot towards Qianzhenting. The two sides were still a foot away, and Lu Qingping suddenly found that more than a dozen crossbow arrows were shooting at the back of Qianzhenting, who was unaware.

A fierce sound of war and iron rang out, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows were knocked away by Lu Jianping, and he hugged Qian Zhenting and fell towards the ground a few feet away.

"Ahh

Qian Zhenting snorted in a sullen voice, his pale face was suddenly covered with black purple, and there was even a trace of black smoke above his head. Apparently this is a sign of poisoning.

Lu Qingping was stunned by the terrible look on Qian Zhenting's face, and after a while, he exclaimed: "Dashuai, you are poisoned, don't speak, I will force you to poison." ”

As soon as Lu Qingping's words fell, he only felt a tingling pain in his right shoulder, and a crossbow arrow hit his right shoulder.

Qian Zhenting laboriously pushed Lu Qingping away, and said loudly with difficulty: "We have been tricked, you go back and report the news, and leave quickly." ”

After Qian Zhenting finished speaking, he waved the sword in his hand and attacked the three black-clothed killers who rushed in mid-air. When he was a teenager, Qianzhen worshiped Ouyang Chun, the head of the first dart bureau in the south of the Yangtze River, as a teacher, a set of Lianyun Chop was famous in the rivers and lakes, and later put into the service of Pingnan Wang Yanyuncheng, more than ten years of southern expeditions and northern wars have made great achievements, from the very beginning of the vanguard to the general and then to the marshal, in addition to the outstanding military leadership, the kung fu under his hands is indeed not weak, there are few opponents in the court, and now he has seen the danger he is in, and a shot is a killer move.

"Haha! Generalissimo, today next year will be your death day. ”

The eerie treacherous laughter rang out again, and as soon as the laughter ended, a tall man in black wearing a bronze mask landed on the spot.

Qian Zhenting struggled to block the left and right attacks of the two killers, staggered back a few steps, and used his sword to support the ground to prevent himself from falling. He had just fought a few moves with the three men in black, and the pain in his chest was as if it was about to burst, and his voice became extremely weak: "You...... Who are you? ”

"You don't need to know that there are more people trying to kill you."

After speaking, the tall man in black waved his hand at the three black-clothed men, and turned around and pounced on the guards brought by Qian Zhenting. However, after a hot cup of tea, most of the dozens of guards had fallen to the ground, but there were only about eight corpses of the man in black at the scene.

Lu Qingping staggered towards Qianzhenting with the right shoulder of the arrow, at this moment he only felt that the whole right shoulder was numb, it was obvious that the arrow was coated with poison, but he couldn't care about his own safety, these people in front of him were all assassinating the handsome, no matter what, he had to let the handsome get out, even if he was dead on the spot.

Qian Zhenting pierced the chest of a man in black with a sword, turned around and shouted at Lu Qingping with all his might: "Leave me alone, go quickly." ”

After Qian Zhenting said this, he suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Dashuai"

Lu Qingping ran to Qian Zhenting's side, grabbed the other party's crumbling body, and the long sword in his hand flew out of his hand, piercing the head of an oncoming man in black.

Lu Qingping helped Qian Zhenting take a few steps back, dodging the attack of a man in black. At this moment, there is a steep slope behind the two of them, and further down is the endless sea, and the retreat has been blocked.

Qian Zhenting looked at Lu Qingping with difficulty, and his chest rose and fell sharply: "Qingping, I was poisoned, and someone did something to me before I left, there must be a ...... behind this." Bigger conspiracy, you go back and report the news, go ......"

"Dashuai, if I don't leave, I will die with you."

Lu Qingping's eyes burst into tears, as a personal guard, it is his duty to protect Qian Zhenting's safety, not to mention that they are called master servants, but in fact, they are like father and son, Qian Zhenting treats him like a son. This is the time for him to repay the favor.

"Let's go, let's go......"

Qian Zhenting suddenly got up and kicked Lu Qingping in the chest, and Lu Qingping's body flew down the hill. In mid-air, he only saw dozens of black-clothed men rushing towards Qian Zhenting, and the sound of fierce blades colliding spread far away in the rainy night.

Lu Qingping's vision gradually blurred, and his body chased towards the sea like a kite with a broken string. A tiger's roar sounded in his ears: "Go away and avenge me"
