139 [Slaying the Wolf]
In the alley, two wagons form a simple but extremely effective killing game.
The other party obviously wouldn't give Lu Shen a chance to gallop out of the ambush, they only needed to temporarily trap these people in the alley, and then they were confident that they could kill Lu Shen.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that in broad daylight, there would be an ambush and killing of a border army general in the street in Beijing.
Lu Shen also didn't expect it.
After entering Beijing, he was extra careful, except for the time when he went to the alum tower for a banquet, he basically never left the Lu Mansion, and even if he had to go out, he would take the guards with him.
After that great court meeting, the Son of Heaven and Zuo Xiang and others reached a tacit understanding, and the expansion of the border army became a foregone conclusion.
In this case, Lu Shen didn't feel that he would have much risk if he visited the right minister, whether it was the third prince or Li Yunyi, no matter how unhappy they were with Lu Shen, they had to follow the most basic rules of the game. What's more, the third prince was grounded by the Son of Heaven, and Li Yunyi estimated that he would also get the advice of Zuo Xiang and would stop in a short time.
Even so, Lu Shen still took three of his best guards, and chose to travel on horseback instead of a carriage, subconsciously still prepared for accidents.
However, the Assassins trapped them in two wagons, and in order to do so, they had to know Lu Shen's whereabouts well, as well as be very familiar with the terrain of the capital, and extremely efficient.
These thoughts flashed in Lu Shen's mind, he looked at the burly man rushing in front of him, and immediately said, "Rush forward!" ”
There was never a word in his dictionary to passively endure, not to mention that there were only two assassins, and there was no doubt that they would be the real top masters, so it was naturally the stupidest choice to stop where they were at this time.
The four horses split into two rows, front and rear, and began to accelerate, but the distance left for them was too short, and the space of five or six feet could not allow the mounts to increase to maximum speed, or in the blink of an eye, they had already collided head-on.
Lu Shen looked coldly at the assassin who was as burly as a mountain with a stick in one hand, and at the moment when the two sides were about to make contact, he suddenly lifted the reins, and the mount under his crotch seemed to be human, and when he couldn't let it go, he hissed, and then jumped high with his front hooves and stepped down towards the assassin.
Under Tan Zheng's gaze of disbelief, the burly assassin suddenly turned sideways, avoiding the front hooves of Lu Shen's mount, and then slammed into the back of the horse's neck with a forward momentum.
"Roar!"
This extremely distinctive assassin let out a roar, and the majestic and incomparable power suddenly exploded, Lu Shen only felt an extremely terrifying impact, and the mount under his crotch took a few steps back to the right, and then fell to the ground with a wail.
At this moment, the strong man waved the iron rod with one hand and smashed it down on Lu Shen's head like a thunderous roar.
"Young Master!"
Tan Zheng and the others shouted almost subconsciously, and the three of them dismounted at the same time, and the three waist knives blocked from different directions.
Normally, at this time, they could choose to attack the opponent's vital point and force the person to change their moves, but they were extremely experienced in the enemy, and it was clear at a glance that the burly assassin had the intention of dying, so they could not gamble on whether the opponent would dare to trade their lives for their lives.
The iron rod came down from top to bottom, bringing the sound of wind and thunder whistling.
The three waist knives blocked one after another, but they were all smashed open, and Tan Zheng and the others only felt numb in an instant, and they almost couldn't grasp it.
When this strong man collided with him fearlessly, Lu Shen felt a sense of crisis in his heart, so he did not hesitate to take off the stirrup.
The mount retreated sideways and then fell, Lu Shen jumped forward sideways between the lightning and flint, and at this time the iron rod had been unstoppably smashed down on his legs, and then he saw Lu Shen's left hand pressed on the bluestone ground, and his body suddenly rushed out, like a slippery swimming fish, narrowly avoiding the opponent's killing move.
The iron rod slammed into the ground, and the bluestone ground trembled instantly, and the gravel shot out in all directions.
A strong fear surged in the hearts of Tan Zheng and the others, if this stick really smashed on the young master, maybe it would smash him in two!
At this moment, Lu Shen had already come to the back of the strong man's side, Tan Zheng and the others were in front of the strong man, and the four of them surrounded him in the middle.
But the strong man didn't pay attention to Lu Shen, but continued to take a step forward, swinging his stick and smashing it at the three guards.
His moves are extremely simple, without any bells and whistles, just ordinary swings and smashes, but with his burly body and the majestic internal strength contained in his body, this simple move is even more difficult to stop.
Tan Zheng and the others were forced to take two steps back, and suddenly there was a sound of wind behind them.
"Be careful!"
Lu Shen, who had just stood up, frowned and drank.
Tan Zheng did not forget that there was an assassin in the rear, and while retreating, he turned around and swung his knife, slashing at the other party's inevitable path.
Facing Tan Zheng's fierce blade, the assassin rose into the air and jumped directly over the heads of Tan Zheng and the others, and when his body was about to fall, the strong man's iron rod just appeared at his feet, and he saw the assassin's right foot stepping on the iron bar, and he jumped forward again with his strength, and then landed smoothly in front of Lu Shen.
Undistracted, the strong man swung his iron rod for the third time, bringing all three guards into the net, and single-handedly dividing the battlefield in the alley.
He did this with only one purpose, not to kill these three guards with strong martial arts, as long as he blocked them for a moment, so that they could not rescue Lu Shen.
In this cramped terrain at the moment, this thick iron rod can do exactly that.
As for Lu Shen, it was obviously handed over to the swordsman.
The iron rod of the strong man carried endless might, and even though Tan Zheng and the others rushed left and right, they could never break through his stick encirclement, and they were blocked by him.
Tan Zheng had a fierce murderous aura on his face, and rushed forward without the slightest hesitation, even if he fought for his life, he would force this strong man back, because he knew very well that although Lu Shen's martial arts entered the room, he was still a little far from a real master, and he couldn't hold it for too long.
However, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, this strong man seems to be stupid, but in fact, he is extremely experienced in facing the enemy, and he has not shown half of his flaws at all.
On the other side, the swordsman looked indifferent and hurried forward, waving his long knife, and the knife did not leave Lu Shen's vital point.
In this dangerous situation, Lu Shen still maintained absolute sobriety, and after receiving the opponent's first knife, he knew that the gap was very large, and this gap in hard power was difficult to solve in a short time, so he chose to keep retreating.
The sharp knife strength seems to stretch the river and the waves are turbulent, and it is like a spring thunder exploding one after another.
Lu Shen defended very hard, and it could be called a dangerous situation, but he finally withstood it and retreated to the vicinity of the carriage step by step. He had to thank Lin Xi for his help to hold on for so long, if it weren't for the fact that Senior Sister pulled him every day to feed him and tirelessly helped him correct his habits, I'm afraid he would have died under the other party's knife.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the swordsman's lips, and he stepped forward to take Lu Shen's throat.
Lu Shen sideways evaded, and slashed at the opponent's wrist with a backhand, but the knife was a false move, and the long knife suddenly reversed, smashing Lu Shen's waist knife.
The gap in the internal strength of the two sides was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and Lu Shen only felt a huge impact rushing towards his tiger's mouth, and then his right hand let go of the long knife and fell to the ground.
The swordsman stepped on Lu Shen's lower abdomen, Lu Shen fell to the ground, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and at this moment, two waves of energy rushed in, and then two voices sounded behind Lu Shen almost at the same time.
"Captain Lu-"
"We are the Warp Weavers—"
The words reached Lu Shen's ears, and two long swords stabbed at the swordsman from different directions, erecting a shield for Lu Shen, who was in a life and death crisis.
The swordsman did not retreat, but advanced, facing the two warp weaver swordsmen who appeared beside Lu Shen, he did not hesitate to raise his foot and kick away the long sword on the left, his body rotated, the long knife was already in his hand, and the strength of his whole body rushed out, slashing towards the swordsman on the right.
If the swordsman chooses to avoid his edge at this time, the swordsman will slash at Lu Shen's neck.
He barely hesitated, and his sword was slammed into the swordsman's throat from the bottom up, unafraid of the opponent's extremely ferocious blade.
The swordsman didn't make any moves, and at the last moment, he raised his left hand and flicked it lightly on the tip of the sword, and the violently trembling blade shifted direction, and at the same time the long knife slashed at the wrist of the swordsman's right hand.
Lu Shen stood up with one hand, and saw a hand fall in front of his eyes, and blood almost filled his vision.
"Zheng Ke!"
Another warp weaver swordsman who was in charge of secretly protecting Lu Shen was bloody, and he saw his comrade have his arm cut off by the assassin, and he was kicked out by the other party.
The swordsman moved forward again, and the swordsman didn't have time to feel sad for his comrades, gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Captain Lu go quickly!" ”
"Want to go?"
The swordsman's martial arts were obviously stronger than everyone present, even including the strong man who wielded the iron root and was unstoppable, if it weren't for the fact that today's task had to be completed quickly, he also wanted to appreciate Lu Shen's fear and gaffe before death, because it was this young man who made the layout of the Prosecutor's Office in Huaizhou come to naught.
However, the next moment, his eyes changed slightly, because Lu Shen, who was already injured, did not choose to escape, but instead had a thick bloody murderous aura in his eyes.
At the moment when the swordsman rushed towards the swordsman, Lu Shen activated at the same time, only to see him let out a beastly roar, and then his body quickly moved forward, and he suddenly made a dazzling change when approaching the swordsman.
The swordsman had never seen such a strange figure, and it obviously looked like it was just a show, but he didn't touch the corners of Lu Shen's clothes with three swings.
Lu Shen and the swordsman of the Warp Weaving Division did not know each other, but at this time, they seemed to have a natural tacit understanding.
The swordsman swung his sword and forced the swordsman back again, and Lu Shen had already come to him.
At this moment, I saw Lu Shen suddenly shortened, his right hand wiped next to the boot on his right leg, and then his body floated up like a fallen leaf, avoiding the sharp blade of the swordsman, and the next moment appeared behind the swordsman.
The sense of crisis came quickly, and the knifeman turned around suddenly, and slapped it with all his left hand, right in Lu Shen's chest, but a chill swept through his throat.
Lu Shen's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and the swordsman's palm caused him great damage.
He landed on the bluestone ground, his vision blurring, but the corners of his lips showed a hideous smile.
Because the swordsman was still standing in a daze, he did not catch up and kill Lu Shen, but raised his hand to cover his throat, and first there were thin blood stains, and then they turned into large streams of blood.
He looked at Lu Shen, who had fallen to the ground, and only then did he see that this young Southern Qi military general was holding a dagger glowing with cold light in his right hand.
The knife man spurted a few mouthfuls of blood from his mouth and slowly fell backwards.
His round eyes stared at the sky until he was cut off.
