As the night deepened, the members of the mission and reception group all entered the tents one by one, and Shao Xi and Lao Wu were no exception. From a distance, it seemed that the whole team had fallen asleep, but in fact, both the guards patrolling outside and the people in the tent were paying attention to the movement of the cliffs on both sides.

At the same time, there was movement on the cliff, and the embassy guards who were lying in ambush at the foot of the cliff clearly heard the sound of falling stones from the cliff, which indicated that the people above began to prepare ropes to slide down the cliff. It wasn't long before he saw thick ropes hanging down from the cliff, and from the shaking of the ropes, he could tell that someone had begun to slide down the ropes.

Without Shao Xi's signal, the guards of the mission would not have taken action, and just lay quietly at the foot of the cliff. At this time, Shao Xi had already sensed that the people on the cliffs on both sides were starting to move with his extraordinary perception ability, so he pretended to get up at night and came out to inform the guards of the reception group to prepare to meet the enemy, and at the same time, the signal was also spread throughout the whole team, and everyone was ready to be attacked.

The sneak attack at night was originally pursued by a concealed and sudden, but now all the actions have been expected by Shao Xi in advance, and there is no way to talk about secrecy, and he arranged manpower to prepare in advance, and the suddenness of the other party does not exist.

Attacks that are neither covert nor sudden are destined to be very effective. What's even worse is that all the preparations made by Shao Xi's side are not known to the other party, which means that the actions of the mission on this side are more concealed and sudden.

People who engage in sneak attacks will have a psychological inertia, thinking that they are the advantageous party and the other party is in a passive disadvantageous position, and after such a mental inertia, they will lower their vigilance against the target, and it is difficult to think that the other party will attack them in turn.

Relying on his own perception, Shao Xi initially estimated that the number of people who came to sneak attack was about fifty or sixty. For the attack on a country's mission and the reception group, this number is indeed not large, mainly relying on the suddenness of a night sneak attack.

The vast majority of Shao Xi's mission and Nan Zhao's reception group are some honor guards, and the total number of guards with real combat effectiveness is only a little more than a hundred, but it is enough to deal with the situation in front of them.

What surprised Shao Xi was that Zhang Shou actually asked for a knife from the guard. According to Shao Xi's observation of Zhang Shou, this person should not be a martial arts cultivator, what are you doing with a knife now?

"Lord Zhang, leave this killing to us, Lord Zhang, you'd better hide, and let Lao Wu evacuate out of the valley with you after the fight is over, you don't have to carry a knife, you can't help anything with this kind of thing."

Zhang Shou smiled a little embarrassedly, and said to Shao Xi: "Although I am not as strong as Lord Shao's martial arts, I have also practiced sword skills for two years, although I can't compare with these masters in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, but if I say that I can kill the enemy in battle, I can still barely make do with others, but it's just because Lord Shao's martial arts are too high, so I feel that I am not a person who cultivates martial arts." Please rest assured, Lord Shao, I can still protect myself with a knife, or protect the others around me. ”

This made Shao Xi look at Zhang Shou with admiration.

Indeed, the sword technique practiced by Zhang Shou is just an inferior martial art practiced by ordinary people, but it is still somewhat useful for fighting and killing enemies.

Shao Xi has practiced martial arts for many years, and all he sees in his eyes is the realm of some martial arts masters, so this ordinary person who cultivates martial arts is no different from those who don't know martial arts in Shao Xi's eyes.

"This is abrupt, so Lord Zhang can be regarded as a help for us, with the help of Lord Zhang, Lao Wu can let go of his hands and feet to do the breakthrough thing, and the guards of the camp will be handed over to Lord Zhang to command."

In this way, Zhang Shou's command was all direct subordinates of the Southern Zhao Rite Department, and the transfer arrangement was more handy.

In contrast, these guards of the Jingyuan Kingdom Mission are really elite soldiers. Those who can be sent out to guard the mission are all elites selected from the forbidden army, and their combat power is naturally unquestionable, and they can all be organized and dispatched in an orderly manner, and these people are the main force to kill the assassins.

The dozens of assassins who came to attack the mission naturally did not know that the mission was prepared at this moment, and after these people slid down the plane and landed, they quietly made a brief assembly. But they didn't know that there were also dozens of people in ambush at the feet behind them, ready to copy their back road.

After a brief assembly and assignment, twenty or thirty men from each side of the cliff began to quietly approach the mission's camp, and the mission did not seem to be aware of the danger coming. The guards were still sitting by the fire roasting their food, and almost all of the tents were silent, seemingly unaware of the approaching danger.

In the eyes of the Assassins, the mission and reception were the lambs to the slaughter, and all they had to do was to break out of the darkness, rush to these people and kill them, and then quickly evacuate, even if the mission was completed.

What they didn't know was that they were walking into the trap set up for them by Shao Xi step by step, and when they were quietly approaching the camp, there was also a group of people behind them quietly approaching them, and at this time, the guards in the camp had already pressed their hands on the hilt of their knives, just waiting for them to come.

Phew-

With a long whistle, the dozens of assassins suddenly quickened their pace and rushed towards the camp. In their opinion, such a stealthy and sudden attack would instantly plunge the resting mission into chaos, and this chaos was the best time for them to wantonly kill, if they were lucky enough to catch the envoy of Jing Yuanguo and kill him, it would be a great achievement, and dozens of times the reward would not be a problem.

It's a pity that all this is just wishful thinking on their part.

Just as they rushed to the camp, the guards of the reception group in charge of the camp guard had already concentrated on both sides of the camp, their long knives unsheathed, and they set up a formation to meet these sudden enemies, and many tents also rushed out of many guards with knives in their hands, these people should have been resting, and at this moment the reaction was so fast, obviously prepared.

The Assassins rushed to the edge of the camp and were stunned for a moment in the face of the guards who were waiting for them, and realized that they were all prepared.

After this brief confrontation, both sides rushed towards each other to fight together, but the battle had just begun, and the Assassins realized that it was themselves who had been attacked, and that behind them there was an even larger wave of people joining the battle circle, and the combat power of this group of people was much higher than that of the guards in charge of guarding.

A group of people who were going to sneak attack others ended up being attacked by the other party, and a group of people who originally thought they would eat each other realized that they were about to be eaten by others, and this psychological gap has a huge impact on combat effectiveness. The sudden reversal of the pressure came unexpectedly, causing the group of Assassins to be confused for a moment, and some of them chose to retreat in a panic.

The retreat of the first man caused the entire group of Assassins to collapse like a breaching dike, and those who were supposed to be besieged were hunted down in the valley.

At the time of camping, Shao Xi had instructed the grooms of the mission and reception group not to untie their horses from their carts at night, so when the Assassins first rushed to the camp, the whole team was already moving.

The brigade of men and horses hurried forward, rushing towards another exit opposite the Jiakou Valley, and the people who opened the way in front were Lao Wu and Zhang Shou.

Zhang Shou quickly organized the escort of the reception group to meet the enemy when the attack first occurred, and at the same time organized a large group of men and horses with Lao Wu to start immediately, when the assassin group was besieged and killed, the mission had already advanced far away, and the most important task for him and Lao Wu at the moment was to protect the safety of everyone in the mission.

At this time, Shao Xi rushed to the front of the team, regrouped the embassy guards who had completed the siege of the assassins, and arranged for them to cooperate with Lao Wu to break through the gorge in front of him, and lead the entire team to break through the valley. He himself stayed at the rear of the team with the escorts of the reception group to take charge of the rear, in case the enemy who was ambushed at the mouth of another gorge pursued him from the rear.

Although the previous deployment was perfect, some chaos was inevitable after the battle started, and naturally there would inevitably be fish that slipped through the net.

In the huge canyon, it was always a little powerless for more than a hundred people to surround and kill dozens of people, and many of the assassins broke through and fled at the mouth of the gorge in front of them. Once these people arrived at the mouth of the gorge first, they would certainly bring the news of the attack with them, and the enemy who was lying in ambush there would be prepared in advance.

So Shao Xi didn't plan to let them go.

After rearranging the manpower, Shao Xi ran alone in the direction of the gorge in front of him, he wanted to kill the assassins before they reached the gorge.

Don't look at these assassins who started to run away first, but if they compare to their speed, they can't compare with Shao Xi at all. Therefore, when Shao Xi arrived at the mouth of the gorge, the assassin who fled first had just arrived, and when he was wondering if someone was running as fast as himself, Shao Xi's head had been cut off with a sword, and he stayed here forever to ponder this problem.

Originally, there were only fifty or sixty assassins in charge of the sneak attack into the valley, but after some siege and killing, only ten or eight escaped, Shao Xi guarded here like a whack-a-mole to knock out one by one, until he saw the envoys coming towards this side from a distance.

Shao Xi knew that the pursuers had already fought with the guards behind the team and needed to go over to help, so he gave a word to Lao Wu and Zhang Shou and rushed towards the rear of the team with his sword.

Someone from the rear was pursuing, proving that some of the escaped assassins had fled to another gorge, and at this time, the news of the mission's breakthrough could not be hidden, and it was inevitable that there would be another fight, but Shao Xi did not plan to fight for a long time, but decided to fight quickly.

Shao Xi rushed to the back of the team to take a look, good guy! Another fifty or sixty people.

At this time, the guards of the reception group were in a defensive state, but they fought and retreated, protecting the rear of the team, while the other party was desperately rushing forward, vowing to push the guards back and break into the ranks.

"Get out of here! You ass ass! ”

I saw Shao Xi slash out the Liuyun Sword in his right hand horizontally, followed by raising his left hand, and pulled out the Cuiyu Sword in his waist, and slashed it in the opposite direction to the Liuyun Sword. 33

A blue sword qi and a cyan sword qi formed a larger, half blue, half cyan sword qi slashed towards the group of people who were chasing behind the team.

Some people died, but not completely......
