Chapter 103: Make a Break
The morning sun was bright but not dazzling, the dew on the blades of grass reflected colorful light, and Zhao Hengyi's not luxurious carriage came out of Elm Bay.
The guards rode their horses to follow on both sides, and the chirping daughters followed, doing enough to protect them.
The asymmetry of information made King Qi's personal guards hidden in the woods believe that Zhao Hengyi, the rich man of the land, did not dare to ignore the invitation of Lord Yin, let alone take care of the special envoy specially sent by Concubine Chen.
After all, in the eyes of others, whether it is the envoy of Su Shenchang or Concubine Chen, they are all dissatisfied, and they can make Zhao Hengyi and his hard-earned industry go up in smoke.
Since you dare to come out of Elm Bay, even if there are dozens of guards following, there will definitely be a chance to start along the way!
From the moment Zhao Hengyi and his party left Yushu Bay, there was a pair of eyes hiding in the dark staring at them, that King Qi's personal guard was extraordinary, but no one knew his origin, let alone anyone knew, compared to protecting King Qi, he was better at assassination!
In the early years, this guard also had a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes, the bandit had no shadow, and he was good at making small means, and he didn't know when he voted for King Qi, and now he has long faded out of the sight of the rivers and lakes.
Hiding on a mountain beam, staring at Zhao Hengyi's carriage without a shadow, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The carriage had obviously undergone a makeshift modification, with a crude technique that could be seen at a glance, and iron plates were added inside the carriage to prevent people from using bows and arrows to snipe from a distance.
Do you really think that just like that, plus the guards guards, you can arrive at Gangneung City safe and sound?
People make mistakes, especially the more people there are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
For no shadow, the guards in Elm Bay are really good, but they are only good.
The hand crossbow is indeed sharp, and it is true that when it was fought for the first time, it surprised Shadowless, but no matter how sharp the weapon is, it has to hit people to play a role...... If you can't even dodge this little hand crossbow, you don't deserve to be called shadowless.
The only thing that makes no shadow feel a little difficult is the daughter army who doesn't seem to know the inside story.
Those women are all the people of Xiangcheng County Lord, and once they start to do something and get hurt, they must wipe out the entire convoy!
Acting alone, it is still somewhat inconvenient, but it is just a little inconvenient, and there is no shadow that he has the confidence to kill Zhao Hengyi at the most unexpected opportunity.
The timing came sooner than no shadow expected, but all of them were abandoned, because no shadow could see it, and those so-called mistakes were all acting.
Those guards are already very attentive, guarding their owners with their hearts, acting with their hearts, exposing their flaws with their hearts, and even that Zhao Hengyi will deliberately lift the carriage window from time to time, revealing half of his face......
But these are all traps.
But those people in the daughter army really don't seem to know that the entire convoy is facing a test of life and death, and they are all like the eldest lady who is traveling, very leisurely.
Hey, it's good for a woman's husband and children to teach her children, and if you have to dance with a knife and a gun, it's really nondescript!
It is said that the daughter army is so powerful, and it is not just pretending to be in front of the county lord of Xiangcheng?
Now that the master is gone, these women are completely revealed.
Those daughters actually instructed the guards of Elm Bay to set up camp in advance at the place where they would stay overnight, so that when they arrived at the place, they could comfortably enjoy hot meals and sturdy tents.
If it is really not enough to succeed, there is more than enough to lose!
The daughter army, who was originally feared by no shadow, became his helper in assassinating Zhao Hengyi at this time, which was an unexpected joy.
Forced to divide almost half of the manpower, the guards were more cautious, guarding around the carriage one by one with serious expressions, for fear that the assassins hiding in the shadows would take advantage of the opportunity.
This is indeed a good opportunity, whether it is acting or not, those guards who left can't afford to do it, and the number of people guarding around the carriage is nearly half!
As for the daughter army who followed behind the carriage, there was no shadow and she couldn't see her eyes, and when she really fought, these women were afraid that they would only be stunned and screaming!
Exterminate a few bandits, and really regard yourself as a master? Joke!
The Shadowless Technique is indeed superb, especially when it comes to hiding and concealing, and after confirming that the guards who were being held by his daughter's army have left, he has been dropping out of the carriage and waiting for an opportunity.
As a top-level assassin, he can't do the kind of thing that smashes the carriage with a boulder or a heavy hammer without a shadow, he is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Zhao Hengyi to open the window again!
Even in the heart of the shadowless, how to get into the car window, how to cut the throat and kill your life, how to escape from the other side of the car window!
However, it seems that because of the decrease in the number of guards, the timid Zhao Hengyi actually closed the car window tightly and refused to open it again, so that there was no shadow for a while, so it seems that those guards are really not acting.
The only way to do it is tonight, but unlike other assassins, no shadow thinks that it is not as convenient to assassinate at night as it is on the road, especially if the other party is on guard.
Just when there was no shadow and was about to leave quietly, the carriage that Zhao Hengyi was riding in suddenly broke the axle!
After a click, the wheels flew away, the carriage rolled on its side, and the man rolled out of the carriage!
It must have been the carriage that injured the axle in the process of transformation!
Or maybe the iron plate installed is too heavy, beyond the limit of the car bearing!
All kinds of speculations flashed through the shadowless mind in an instant, but they didn't delay the force under his feet, like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the man who rolled out of the carriage before everyone could react!
That person is Zhao Hengyi, no matter how good he looks or what he is, there is no problem!
The exclamations and neighing of the horses have all become foils for the shadowless shots!
Those guards were still at a loss because of the sudden break of the axle, and the daughter army behind them even showed a sarcastic smile, and the lightning-like shadowless shadow stuck to the ground like a cheetah pounced, and almost instantly cut the short blade in his hand on Zhao Hengyi's neck!
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, the sound became blurred, and the different expressions of everyone were like a picture scroll, and even the breeze blowing through the leaves was clearly imprinted in the perception of no shadow!
Those guards didn't pull out their crossbows at all, and after they got their hands on it, they could leave calmly!
Thorn Ridge!
The feeling from the short blade is definitely not the feeling of cutting flesh and blood, Zhao Hengyi actually installed an inner armor on his neck!
There is still time, the guards' crossbows have not yet been pulled out, their necks cannot be cut, and it is the same to pierce the head directly, piercing through the eye sockets, and then shaking the wrist twice, you can stir the brain into a pulp!
But just when there was no shadow to pick it up, he found that Zhao Hengyi, who was assassinated by himself, not only was he not panicked, but he even had a strange smile on his face!
Broken!
There was no shadow hesitating slightly, holding the ground with one hand, and the body writhed like a snake against the ground, even if it was a crossbow, it was impossible to shoot the vital point...... Desperately injured, Zhao Hengyi will also die here!
Suddenly the light of fire flashed between the two of them, and then ...... Bang!
