399 [A Glimmer of Life]

As soon as He Bonian died, the other four Assassins immediately became flustered.

One is because Qin Zilong and others joined the battle, which caused their pressure to increase greatly, and the other is that He Bonian died too quickly, and was killed by Lu Shen almost in just one face, so it can be seen that Lu Shen's martial arts are obviously above He Bonian.

They obviously didn't know the specific situation on the other side, they didn't know that He Bonian was completely to blame, he thought that he could kill Lu Shen by selling a flaw, but Lu Shen seized the opportunity to kill him with one blow. In the eyes of these assassins, the details of the battle between the two were no longer important, and it was a sure fact that He Bonian lost his life in an instant.

In the face of the siege of the Hou Mansion's own soldiers, they were already gradually at a disadvantage, and now that there are more masters like Lu Shen who are obviously stronger, their fate will undoubtedly be very miserable, and they may soon follow in the footsteps of He Bonian.

In fact, the reason why these people dare to assassinate a powerful prince in the street, in addition to the temptation of a huge amount of silver taels, is that in their opinion, the three princes' arrangements today are very thorough, and they have a great deal of confidence in killing Lu Shen.

The five of them plus Yin Qianjue, who was ranked sixth on the martial arts list, Lu Shen's personal soldiers were powerless to stop such a lineup, even if there were some masters hidden in these pro-soldiers, they were definitely not the opponents of Cold Sword Yin Qianjue.

It was supposed to be a nirvana.

It's just that the appearance of Wei Chi's return quietly reversed the situation.

They didn't know the identity of Wei Chi's return, only that Yin Qianjue didn't come to the carriage for a long time, and was stopped by a middle-aged man at the end of the long street, and the two became more and more involved as they fought, and they were unconsciously moving away from here.

Panic gradually consumed the hearts of the besieged Assassins.

"Ahh

The assassin who used the water cloud stab suddenly let out a miserable scream, only to see Qin Zilong's long knife cut a bloody cut in his thigh.

He could only immediately retreat to the wall on the left, and the Water Cloud Thorn swung out like a mad demon, desperately blocking the attack of Qin Zilong and the other two Hou Mansion soldiers.

Qin Zilong's eyes were red, his lips were pursed, and the light of the sword shrouded the assassin like a match, and every knife was a fighting style.

He was so desperate that one of his comrades had been stabbed by the Assassin and fell to the ground, and even if he could save his life, he would probably leave the army.

In Qin Zilong's simple values, a hundred assassins were no match for one of his own brothers.

Another sharp sword light rushed in.

After killing He Bonian, Lu Shen only glanced at the battle situation in the distance, and saw that Wei Chigui and the middle-aged swordsman were inseparable, and I was afraid that they would not be able to tell the winner in a short time.

Lu Shen didn't rush over to distract Wei Chigui by his own cleverness, he just needed to make sure that Wei Chigui didn't fall behind, and then immediately split up with the other three and pounced on the rest of the battle that was still fighting.

The assassin who was good at making the water cloud stab was completely suppressed by Qin Zilong at this moment, although the injury to the thigh was not fatal, but it greatly affected his agility and reaction, you must know that he and He Bonian are completely different styles, he is better at relying on strange body techniques to gain advantages, and now it can be said that his skills are greatly reduced.

"Bang!"

Qin Zilong slashed hard, and the assassin leaned against the wall with both hands holding the water cloud thorn and tried his best to block, barely resisting Qin Zilong's blade, but there was no joy in his eyes, but a strong fear.

Because that sharp sword light came to him unstoppably.

Lu Shen held the knife in both hands and rushed forward.

"Poof!"

The long knife stabbed straight into the assassin's chest, piercing him straight through, the sound of the tip of the knife piercing through the wall was clearly visible.

The assassin's eyes widened, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his life was quickly cut off.

"Go and help your wounded brother stop the bleeding."

Lu Shen pulled out his long knife from the corpse, gave a quick command to one of his own soldiers, and then continued to run towards the other assassins with Qin Zilong and another personal soldier.

When the second assassin died at the hands of Lu Shen, the remaining three finally couldn't resist the fear of death coming with him, and one of them roared, "Withdraw!" ”

The three of them immediately wanted to withdraw from the battle and escape, but how could Lu Shen give them this opportunity, if they couldn't take these three people as a living mouth, and take advantage of the situation to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes and make them pay a painful price, how could he be worthy of these personal soldiers around him who were not afraid of life and death, and how could he deter those enemies hiding in dark corners.

If he can't fight back this time, there will inevitably be more murderous plots in the future, and he can't go around the capital with hundreds of cavalry every moment.

The three assassins retreated in embarrassment, and the soldiers of the Hou Mansion pursued closely, and between the swords and swords, the killing opportunities continued to appear.

These Assassins were well aware of the fate of their misfortune, and as outlaws who had sold their lives to the powerful, they had the consciousness that they could die at any time, but when the moment came, the desire to survive still occupied their minds, so they desperately brandished their weapons while quickly retreating forward.

Lu Shen rushed forward with his strength, accelerating forward from the flank, intending to go around behind these people and cut off their retreat.

Seeing that the encirclement was about to be completed, Lu Shen's heart suddenly sounded an alarm, and an extremely strong sense of crisis instantly poured into his brain.

He turned his head to look ahead, his pupils suddenly constricting.

Several sounds of breaking the sky struck quickly, and the power was almost as strong as lightning and thunder!

Lu Shen's body moved subconsciously, and the three styles of wearing flowers that Lin Xi taught him unfolded like instinct, avoiding them dangerously again and again.

More than a dozen crossbow arrows glowing with cold light swept past Lu Shen's original position, and slammed into the carriage behind him.

Immediately, a group of black-clothed men appeared on the wall on the left, all of them holding crossbows in their hands, eyeing them at a distance of about fifty paces.

At the same time, eight men armed with longbows appeared at the end of Qingfeng Street, quickly arrived at the right position, and immediately opened their bows and arrows.

After confirming that Yin Qian would not be able to break through the middle-aged man's block in a short period of time, and that the five assassins could not pose a threat to Lu Shen, Meng Xuan, who was sent by the Third Prince to preside over the assassination, finally made up his mind to sacrifice the final killer weapon.

It wasn't just these crossbowmen, but in the middle between the archers and the crossbowmen, the horizontal wall was suddenly torn down, and the next moment only a few pairs of crossbows appeared in front of everyone.

These are all military-standard weapons!

Time seems to pass quickly, but in fact, it is only an instant, and then the feather arrows and crossbows rush in!

It is difficult for ordinary archers to play a role against a master like Lu Shen, but when the combination of a strong crossbow and a strong bow, and the waist crossbow and other killing weapons aimed at martial arts masters, this is a deadly threat that is basically impossible to block.

However, the first to bear the brunt were the three Assassins who tried to escape.

When the sneak attack on Lu Shen failed, these ambush soldiers did not forget the above explanation, and replaced the first target with three assassins.

The crossbow made a tooth-aching sound, and the terrifying kinetic energy was applied to the crossbow arrows, which pierced the assassins' bodies almost instantaneously.

The three of them didn't understand why they were the target of the attack until they died, and the last thought in their minds was that they even thought that the other party was from the imperial court.

The assassins were directly wiped out, Lu Shen and the Hou Fu soldiers were also in danger, although the first wave of attacks by those waist crossbows was the assassins, but the other crossbowmen did not let them go, only to see the rain of arrows like locusts, almost unavoidable!

At this critical moment, Lu Shen was angry and dantian shouted violently, and the long knife swung in front of him to condense into a tight net, and in the blink of an eye, he picked off more than ten arrows, and then roared angrily: "Carriage!" ”

The soldiers immediately understood, and withdrew to the carriage with great speed.

On the long street, the arrows were endless, even though Lu Shen bore most of the threats, but the skills of the other pro-soldiers were weaker than him after all, and one pro-soldier couldn't dodge, and was pierced through the thigh by a crossbow arrow, and his body fell down sharply.

He didn't scream and wail, his face was still resolute, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Leave me alone!" ”

Immediately, a figure appeared in front of him, Lu Shen brandished a long knife in one hand, lifted the collar of his own soldier with the other, and his majestic internal strength rushed out, actually lifting this person up, and then jumping backwards with him!

The soldiers bit their lips tightly, hating that they couldn't use their bodies to block those terrifying arrows for Lu Shen.

Fortunately, the others were not hit by the arrows, so they took advantage of the gap between the other party's arrows to speed up the distance, and finally arrived behind the carriage.

At present, Qingfeng Street, which is empty and full of murderous machines, this spacious and sturdy carriage is their only barrier.

However, how could the people sent by the Three Princes stay where they are stupid?

The crossbowmen moved quickly along the wall, and it didn't take long for them to appear on the side of the carriage to find an angle to attack, while the black-clad men with their crossbows at their waists approached the carriage under the cover of eight strong archers.

There was a brief silence on the long street, but the silence made the heartstrings tense, as if it could break at any moment.

Behind the carriage, the eyes of the Hou Mansion soldiers were red, not only because of the fight, but also because two of their comrades had been killed by the assassin and were permanently buried here, and two of them were wounded in the abdomen and were shot in the thighs, so fortunately there should be no worries about their lives.

However, if they do not receive timely healing, or if the rain of arrows strikes again, I am afraid that no one will survive today.

Qin Zilong gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hou, you go quickly, leave us alone!" ”

The other soldiers also said: "Master Hou, go quickly!" ”

The footsteps above the wall grew clearer, and the group of crossbowmen might appear in their sight the next moment, when they would have no shelter or barrier.

Lu Shen didn't answer, raised his hand to grab the grip of the carriage door, and instantly forcibly exerted force, and actually forcibly removed the carriage door.

He looked around at the soldiers behind him, and said with a fierce momentum: "Prepare to kill!" ”

At this time, the black-clothed crossbowmen had already reached the wall on the side of the carriage, and when they stood firm and raised their crossbows, ready to kill the people hiding behind the carriage, they saw a wooden plank appear in their eyes, and it was a wooden plank that rushed forward quickly!

Lu Shen held a wooden shield in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, and rose in the air, murderous!
