Chapter 227: Identity
"How so?"
Zhou An muttered to himself, with a complicated expression on his face.
He looked at the scene in front of him, confused, but more terrified.
After thousands of calculations, I didn't expect Ning Wuxian to bring so many helpers.
"My plan was seamless, and the convoy didn't find these killers at all, which means that it wasn't the killers who leaked the news, but why, Ning Wuxian's convoy actually brought so many people?"
It's just that Ning Feng and Ning Weiguo are here.
The Ning family is prosperous, and it is not surprising that they came to help Ning Wuxiao escort this batch of perfumes worth 500,000 taels.
Plus there are some tobacco seeds to heal the wounded soldiers, and it's nothing to bring more coachmen.
But what he didn't expect was that even Jiang Yan and Yu Zhengrong also accompanied the team.
"If Jiang Yan doesn't have Su Rui's order, he can't leave the territory under the jurisdiction of Jinling without permission, and Yu Zhengrong can't!"
Zhou An felt that the situation was out of control.
Could it be that Jiang Yan and Yu Zhengrong both defected to King Kang's faction, and heard the rumor that he wanted to assassinate Ning Wuxian, so they deliberately set a trap?
Zhou An's mind was suddenly like a mess, and he couldn't figure out the clues.
Seeing this, the guard grabbed Zhou An's wrist hard, and shouted in a deep voice: "Little Hou Ye, the little one will take you out of here, but you may suffer some burns, you bear with it." ”
Burns?
Zhou An saw that there were flames all around, and there was no fire only in the direction leading to the carriage.
But there was blocked by Ning Weiguo, and there were twenty archers, ready to shoot those who tried to resist.
Zhou An looked at the killers who were desperately trying to break through in order to get a glimmer of life, and thought about it.
"Don't panic, we'll wait."
Zhou An smiled treacherously when he saw that those killers were either burned to death by rockets or hacked to death by knives.
Die well.
Die wonderfully.
When they are all dead, he can live.
"Little Hou Ye, why wait? Why not sneak out while the killers break through? ”
The guards felt that saving their lives was more important than suffering some flesh wounds.
In this formation, both sides have already killed their eyes, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents because of a momentary miss.
"Ahhh......h
The mute guard stepped on the burned hem of his clothes, and he was also anxiously gesturing his fingers to persuade Zhou An to leave.
Just now, he felt that the direction of the carriage was wrong, and when he saw a reflection through the firelight, he thought of the shield armor, and wanted to pull Zhou An away, but unfortunately he was a step too late.
This time, he didn't want to be one step later.
"Get out!"
Zhou An glared at the dumb guard impatiently, still complaining incompetently.
"If you hadn't been able to figure out the way, I wouldn't have to take risks, I would have to go through the fire by yourself."
Seeing another rocket fall next to the dumb man, Zhou An kicked the unlucky guy to the ground, and moved to the open space next to him with another guard.
He's waiting.
Wait for the rain of arrows to stop.
Waiting for the killer to die.
"When the time comes, we will say that we have been kidnapped by this group of killers, and they want to rob the perfume worth 500,000 taels of silver."
The guard's eyes lit up when he heard this excuse.
The perfume of 500,000 taels of silver is indeed enough to make a group of killers desperate for it.
"But little marquis, what if they don't believe it?"
"There is no proof of death, so they can't believe it, besides, since Ben Hou has revealed his identity, forgive them and don't dare to kill Ben Hou, do you remember Guan Lao?"
How the guards don't remember.
At the same time, I also understood what Zhou An meant.
Guan Lao, a killer, failed to kill the killer before he died, so as not to affect the whole family.
Not to mention those on the other side.
The Ning family may share the same hatred, but Jiang Yan and Yu Zhengrong will not risk the disapproval of the world and kill a royal child.
In particular, this royal child is still the most beloved grandson of His Majesty today.
"The little marquis is unparalleled in his intelligence, and his subordinates admire him."
The guards praised without hesitation, which was equivalent to agreeing to the plan.
It wasn't that he was afraid of being burned, but because there were only twenty or thirty killers left, and if they moved, they would be easily detected.
Whew!
Just thinking about it.
Another rocket shot impartially into the flattened rice field between the mute guard and the two.
"There's someone squatting there!"
Ning Weiguo, who rushed to the forefront, flipped his wrist, and the long knife in his hand harvested another human head.
With the help of his strength, he threw the head in the direction of the mute guard.
The blood splattered at the severed head grazed Zhou An's scalp and flew to the dumb guard's body.
Zhou An, who had always been extremely well protected, had faced death so close that he was so frightened that his heart shrunk, and at the same time he whispered to the mute guard who was about to move his position.
"Run!"
"If Ben Hou dies, what will happen to your family, you don't need Ben Hou to remind you!"
Zhou An said almost fiercely.
At this time, letting the dumb guards run is no less than letting the dumb guards be a live target.
The mute guard was stunned for a moment, and then without hesitation, he ran towards the country road outside the circle of fire.
Since they were selected as Zhou An's personal guards, their lives no longer belong to them.
Don't say that Zhou An asked him to run.
Even if he was allowed to stand on the spot like a stone, burned to death like a dead target, he couldn't refuse.
And now that he can run, maybe he still has a chance to live.
After the dumb guard ran, five archers were attracted to shoot two rounds of rockets.
By the light of the fire, Ning Wuxian saw the shadow of the mute guard, and there were irregular twists and turns in the rice field.
There are still people there.
Ning Wuxian thought in his heart, glanced at the remaining arrows in the quivers of the archers, and he didn't make a sound to warn.
The man who left just now was wearing clothes that could reflect light, and at first glance he was made of brocade clothes.
and the night clothes on those killers, which are not the same style at all.
In addition, if Zhou An encounters a near-death situation among the killers, he will definitely choose to reveal his identity and find an excuse to save his life, and he should also put the blame on the killers.
So if nothing else, the person who does not move there should be Zhou An.
The person who escaped should be a guard by Zhou An's side.
found Zhou An's location, and the boulder in Ning Wuxian's heart fell to the ground.
Just by looking at the position of Zhou An and the killers, you can guess that Zhou An is planning to survive to the end, and there is no proof to die, leaving aside his true purpose of coming here.
It's a beautiful idea.
It's a pity that he won't give Zhou An this chance.
At this moment, Zhou Jingxian stretched out her long arm, blocked in front of him, and reminded softly: "Mr. Ning, you stand in the back, the arrows are about to run out." ”
"Okay."
Ning Wuxian took a step back, but he clenched the red gold sword in his hand and stared at Zhou An who was squatting in the rice field with a good look.
"Kill!"
The breakout of the killers continues.
When the rain of arrows stopped, their momentum skyrocketed unprecedentedly, and they made a final resistance.
How.
Ning Feng and the others did not lose manpower at all, and wave after wave of rockets consumed six or seven percent of the killers, not to mention, and the killers were seriously injured.
The last resistance, but also the last struggle.
"Rush!"
Ning Feng saw that the arrows had been shot, and there were only more than ten killers left.
and Jiang Yan, Yu Zhengrong and others all rushed forward, not letting these killers slip through the net, and at the same time, they were also ready to rely on the strength of the crowd to be able to stay alive to inquire about Fang Cai's surprise attack.
Zhou Jingxian thought that Zhou An might also be among them, worried that Ning Feng and them would kill by mistake and cause the disaster of extermination, so she shouted at Yun Fei: "Look at Mr. Ning, I'll come when I go!" ”
"Lord Xian, be careful! There is an ambush! ”
Ning Wuxian shouted violently, raised the red gold sword in his hand, and threw it in the direction where Zhou An was squatting.
