Chapter 277: Massacre
There are many woods on both sides of the official road, which can be used by passers-by to take a cool rest on weekdays.
But with such a dense forest, the Tibetans are also a good choice.
For example...... Assassin.
I only heard the crisp sound of "Tu", and an arrow rose into the air, startling the birds in the forest in all directions.
The arrows flew high and exploded in the air, but unfortunately they failed to form brilliant fireworks.
The leader of the guards was naturally not a mediocre person, and at the moment when the arrow was lifted into the air, he had already drawn the long knife at his waist with a solemn face, and at the same time, he did not forget to order loudly: "Enemy attack! Be on guard!"
Zhu Yunxi in the carriage was already in severe pain, with tears in his eyes, and when he heard this sound at this moment, he was even more frightened like falling into an ice cellar, and he didn't even dare to make a sound.
In the past, Zhu Yunxi had never been afraid of anything, because he was a member of the royal family, and there was the Chang family behind him, as well as Lan Yu and many noble generals.
Even he never thought he would be afraid.
But today, he was really afraid, he was afraid of the disrespect of others, he was afraid of the pain of the whip on his body, and now that he heard the movement outside, he was even more afraid of death.
Fortunately, the guards reacted quickly, and soon formed a defensive circle with the carriage as the center.
Soon a number of black-clothed men sprang out of the forest, all masked and with steel knives in their hands, surrounding the carriage and the guards.
The men in black were not in a hurry, and one of them led the crowd and said in a calm voice, "Who is sitting in the car?"
The man in black obviously didn't want to kill innocents in vain, so he asked.
The leader of the guards rolled his eyes, and stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Heroes, we are all soldiers of the Left Army, and we really don't have much oil and water on weekdays except for a meager salary, and I only have a few taels of silver on me, if you don't dislike it, you can take it to drink tea and eat wine, and don't ask for anything else, just raise your hand and let us go."
The leader of the guard dug into his bosom and pulled out a few taels of silver.
In recent years, the soldiers of the Jinling Left Guard Station have not been in battle for a long time, and they have long lost their original blood bravery, even if they are well-equipped in armor and equal in number to these black-clothed people, they have not thought of drawing their swords to resist.
The man in black who spoke did not reach out for the silver, but once again asked in a calm voice, "Who is sitting in the car?"
At this point, the leader of the guards naturally understood why these men in black came.
The leader of the guards put the few taels of silver back into his clothes, and then asked, "You are here for the king of Ruchang?"
The man in black nodded lightly and said, "Hand over Zhu Yunxi, and I'll let you go."
The task of the guards this time is to escort Zhu Yunxi, the king of Ruchang County, to Ruchang, and the process is not important, because no one will care more about the prince who failed to seize the heir, as long as he arrives in Ruchang, he Zhu Yunxi still has a breath.
If Zhu Yunxi didn't live or didn't make it to Ruchang, then the guards of the left army would not be able to communicate, and there was only a dead end waiting for them.
So now there are only two paths in front of the guards.
One is to hand over Zhu Yunxi to these black-clothed people, so that they are also guilty of a capital crime.
The other is to grab weapons and fight with these men in black, but they have long lost the courage to draw their knives.
….
Even if they are faced with a dead end, they are not willing to draw their knives.
The leader of the guard pondered for a moment before making his final choice.
I saw him come to the carriage and kick the carriage door open.
Zhu Yunxi, who was inside, was startled by the sudden noise, and he couldn't help leaning towards the corner of the carriage.
This action made him feel embarrassed, so he dared to say sharply, "What do you want to do to this king?"
Although Zhu Yunxi's voice was not small, the horror in his heart still made his voice tremble.
The leader of the guards had a hideous face, he was still smiling when he faced the man in black just now, but in the face of Zhu Yunxi, who was powerless, he was ruthless.
The leader of the guards sneered and said, "County King, please get off the bus with the little one!"
How could Zhu Yunxi not hear that there was no respect in his tone?
But at this moment, Zhu Yunxi is just meat on the chopping board.
He shook his head and said in horror, "I don't get out of the car, I don't get out of the car."
Hearing this, the face of the guard leader became a little more fierce, he stepped forward, grabbed Zhu Yunxi's collar, and said, "That's not up to you, you have to come down whatever you say today!"
Even if the leader of the guards is negligent in the battle formation, it is not comparable to Zhu Yunxi's small arms and legs.
Zhu Yunxi struggled desperately, but to no avail, and he couldn't break free from the big hand of the guard leader.
With just a little force, the leader of the guards dragged Zhu Yunxi out of the carriage.
He dragged Zhu Yunxi to the man in black and said, "I hope you can keep your promises, Zhu Yunxi is here, I hope you heroes can make a way for us."
The man in black did not move his steps, but carefully observed Zhu Yunxi.
was picked up like this, Zhu Yunxi inevitably couldn't breathe, and his whole face turned red at the moment.
However, the man in black still recognized Zhu Yunxi at a glance, he nodded, and said in a calm voice, "Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi is true."
The leader of the guards also said again, "Please make way for us heroes, Zhu Yunxi will hand it over to you, and we will go ours."
The man in black let out a gloomy laugh, and he said, "You are all people from the left guard, you didn't send Zhu Yunxi to the place, so go back like this, can Li Jinglong spare you?"
Where is this not forgiving? To go back is simply to die.
Although the leader of the guards was helpless, he still spoke: "Naturally, we can't go back to Jinling, but in the future, we won't bother you if we will drift around the sea or fall into the grass."
The man in black shook his head lightly and said, "This is not good, in fact, you still have a choice."
The leader of the guards frowned, and his mind also turned and turned, these black-clothed people dared to rob people outside Jinling City, and the robbery was still the king of Ruchang County, even if Zhu Yunxi failed to compete for the prince, his royal status could not be changed.
Thinking about it, the identity of these men in black is definitely not simple, and there are a lot of backers behind them.
Although he thought of this, the leader of the guards did not say this, as long as he broke this point today, I am afraid that he would only be killed.
The leader of the guards thought for a moment, but he shook his head and said, "Do you want to join you? I've thanked you for your kindness, but it seems that your work is too dangerous for me, and I think it's good if you are a home."
….
There are opportunities in the risks, maybe this is an opportunity to soar into the sky, but after thinking about it, the leader of the guards still gave up, after all, he has long lost his sharpness.
But the man in black smiled disdainfully and said, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding?"
The leader of the guards was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
I only heard the man in black say, "It's up to you? Worthy of joining us? You guys on the left guard think too highly of yourself! The path I want to give you is actually a shortcut, and that is...... Die!"
The leader of the guards was startled, and he sensed a trace of fierceness in the eyes of the man in black, and he wanted to retreat, but he felt that he could not exert any strength, and at the same time felt that his abdomen was hot and painful.
He looked down, only to see that the man in black's long knife had pierced his abdomen.
The man in black was full of disdain, and there was a bit of banter in his tone: "People will die anyway, whether they live for a year or thirty years, there is not much difference, you see, I will send you to die now, does it mean that I have given you a shortcut?"
The man in black held the chest of the guard leader and slowly drew his long knife.
And as the long knife was withdrawn, a large amount of blood also burst out from the wound.
The knife hurt, but the leader of the guards was no longer able to roar, and he wanted to say something more, but when he opened his mouth, a lot of blood spurted out.
This mouthful of blood was coincidental and splattered on Zhu Yunxi's face.
Zhu Yunxi felt it
The warmth on his face couldn't help but wipe it with his hand, but when he looked at the palm of his hand again, he found that the palm of his hand was full of red.
Where did Zhu Yunxi pass through such a scene, his body shook uncontrollably, he opened his mouth, and finally let out a sharp scream.
The leader of the guards looked at the man in black, then at Zhu Yunxi, and fell to the ground very unwillingly, so that he was not breathing, and his eyes were not closed.
The man in black smiled, looked at the guards with stunned expressions, and ordered softly: "Kill them all, don't leave them alive, it just happens to make Li Jinglong uncomfortable, this kid has been too smooth sailing over the years."
The black-clad men around him received the order and immediately raised their butcher knives and killed the guards.
It's strange to say, it's obviously about the same number of people, but the combat power is too bad.
These men in black were completely slaughtered against the guards of the Left Army.
Even many of the guards were killed without even drawing the long knives at their waists.
I don't know if it's because their strength is too weak or because they haven't fought hard for a long time, or if they have forgotten to draw their swords? Who knows.
With the last few screams, the guards of the left guard were killed cleanly, but there were too many corpses lying on the scene, which did not look very beautiful, and the strong smell of blood in the air was almost disgusting.
However, the leader of the man in black seemed to like this smell very much, his eyes were full of excitement, and he slowly walked up to Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi was already sitting on the ground, he raised his eyes tremblingly, tears and snot had already been blurred, looking at the excited eyes of the man in black, Zhu Yunxi trembled even more.
But the man in black stroked the top of his head and said, "Don't be afraid, child."
This voice seemed to have some magic, and after listening to this voice, Zhu Yunxi really stopped fighting, and the fear in his heart was alleviated a lot.
The man in black seemed to be satisfied, he nodded, continued to stroke the top of Zhu Yunxi's head, and continued, "There is really no need to be afraid, death is actually very simple, although the process will be a little painful."
Night rivers and lakes.
