For Lu Shen and the Hou Mansion's own soldiers, the real threat was the crossbowmen who stood condescendingly on the horizontal wall.

Although the waist crossbow at the end of the long street is terrifying, it can't help the sturdy carriage that Lu Tong specially asked people to build for Lu Shen.

In the face of the protection of the carriage, the black-clothed men and the eight strong archers with crossbows at their waists could only remain vigilant to prevent Lu Shen and the others from escaping, and at the same time advance extremely carefully, not daring to speed up slightly.

Whether it is a waist crossbow or a strong bow, they can play an absolute role in suppression at a certain distance, but once they are broken through by the opponent's master, they will become fish on the chopping board.

On the contrary, those black-clothed crossbowmen relied on the convenience of the crossbow to dare to advance quickly, although the power was not as strong as the waist crossbow, but they could play a huge role in a short distance, they only needed to come to the side of the carriage, and they could form a deadly threat to Lu Shen.

But what these crossbowmen didn't expect was that what caught their eyes was not a group of people hiding behind the carriage with panicked faces, but a wooden shield covering the body of the comer, and a brilliant sword light that pierced the sky!

In this dangerous situation, Lu Shen's heart was still clear.

The defense force around him is not weak at all, more than 20 personal soldiers have a certain degree of martial arts strength and rich experience in fighting, with tacit understanding and not afraid of death, it is not a problem to deal with a few assassins, plus Wei Chigui and other masters accompany him to protect, it is already quite comprehensive in the capital territory.

To put it simply, he couldn't always go with one or two hundred cavalry with him, or everyone in full clothing, so that he would be drowned out by the saliva of the government and the opposition before the assassins appeared.

It's just that the middle-aged swordsman invited by the mastermind behind this assassination entangled Yu Chigui, although he couldn't break through the barrier and threaten Lu Shen, Yu Chigui was also taken away from the vicinity of the carriage by him, otherwise Wei Chigui would be enough to easily deal with those crossbowmen.

These thoughts flashed through Lu Shen's mind, and while retreating behind the carriage, he had already figured out the current situation, so he immediately removed the door.

In fact, the unfathomable middle-aged swordsman was stopped by Wei Chigui at the moment, and Lu Shen could completely escape with his own body, but then he would abandon all his own soldiers, after all, their strength was not as good as Lu Shen, and it was obviously impossible to escape in the case of the opponent's two-sided attack.

Perhaps in the eyes of some superiors, Lu Shen's choice to stay was a stupid decision.

Even if all the soldiers are dead, why not? As long as you are willing to spend money, you can always recruit more masters, but if you die here, won't everything be over?

Lu Shen wouldn't think so.

Just like what he once said to Lin Xi in Guangling City, people live in the world and do something, and the most important thing is that he doesn't think that he will die here today!

If he didn't have enough self-confidence, how could he take the risk himself?

The sword light cut through the sky, Lu Shenyu stepped up, protected his body with a wooden plank, and rushed forward without stopping!

The wind was loud, blowing the hair on the back of his head, but it couldn't blow away the courage in his eyes, and it couldn't extinguish the raging anger in his heart!

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

In an instant, it seemed that countless crossbow arrows were nailed to the wooden plank, like a downpour of rain falling on the world, and it was like a sad and majestic music played continuously.

It's just that these crossbow arrows can't penetrate the wooden plank that blocked Lu Shen's body.

The black-clothed crossbowmen desperately wanted to hold the more powerful waist crossbow at the moment, although the hand crossbow was easy and quick to cast, it was difficult to kill when the opponent had a barrier.

They didn't have much time to think about it now, because the plank had already rushed in front of them after the first round of crossbow arrows had been fired.

The strange thing is that these black-clothed crossbowmen did not panic in the slightest, they did not hesitate to hold the crossbow in one hand, and the steel knife at the waist with the other hand, and met it without the slightest fear, and their eyes were extremely indifferent and cold.

It was clear that this was a real group of dead soldiers, unlike the Assassins who would spare their lives in the most critical moments.

Lu Shen has experienced too many battles, and he knows the quality of these people at a glance, but he doesn't have the slightest idea of mercy.

On the killing field, only the enemy and me are separated.

I saw that brilliant sword light suddenly bloomed, and after a few zhang distance of accumulation, this knife carried all the anger of Lu Shen, like a blooming fire lotus exploded in front of everyone's eyes.

The black-clad crossbowman at the front raised his sword to block.

"Bang!"

The steel knife is broken!

Lu Shen's knife did not stop, not even the slightest delay, and continued to slash down with the momentum of Wanfu, along the black-clothed crossbowman's head all the way to the lower abdomen, and the violent knife strength came out of his body, cutting out a crack in front of the black-clothed crossbowman's body, where the flesh was turned out, and the blood was dripping with blood, and the bones could be seen!

The black-clad crossbowman didn't even say a word, and fell backwards on his back against the wall.

Lu Shen landed steadily on the horizontal wall, his short body rushed forward, and he slashed away with another knife, and the lower abdomen of the other black-clothed crossbowman was directly cut open, and his intestines slipped out.

At this time, all the black-clothed crossbowmen understood that after being approached by Lu Shen, the only thing that awaited them was death.

However, there was no way to distance themselves in a hurry, and these crossbowmen jumped off the wall one after another, either actively or passively, a few of them landed behind the wall, and more landed on Qingfeng Street, not far from the sturdy carriage.

There were also the soldiers of the Hou Mansion who rushed towards them.

In the distance, the men with crossbows and eight strong archers watched the battle near the carriage with solemn expressions, they really did not expect that the young prince's force was so strong, and with a single shield and a sword, the crossbowmen's formation was disrupted, and then it turned into a scuffle.

It is conceivable that under the siege of a master like Lu Shen and those Hou Fu's own soldiers, the crossbowmen will definitely not be able to hold out for long.

In fact, when Lu Shen was alone and forced the crossbowmen to jump off the horizontal wall, the angry Hou Mansion soldiers descended the mountain like fierce tigers, rushing forward to kill desperately, and the crossbowmen lost the blessing of their sharp weapons, and one after another died and fell to the ground.

Among the men who wielded the crossbow at the waist, Meng Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Wind!" ”

The meaning of the command was clear, but everyone else was stunned.

They are indeed dead soldiers who can die at any time, but dying at the hands of the enemy is a completely different concept from dying at the hands of their own people, and it is not an easy decision to kill those black-clad crossbowmen in a bitter battle at the moment.

Meng Xuan said sharply: "If Lu Shen doesn't die, you and I can't live!" ”

Everyone's expressions changed, and then they heard the sound of the bowstring pulling the crossbow arrows tightly.

Meng Xuan looked at the battle in the distance, and suddenly saw Lu Shen looking at him from afar.

Although the distance was relatively far, the sharp gaze stabbed Meng Xuan's eyes.

The next moment, there was a change in the field, and I saw that the coachman who had been hiding early jumped onto the wheel, pulled the reins with both hands, and the two horses turned forward.

The coachman was also a personal soldier who had been following Lu Shen for a long time, he pinned his body in a strange posture, and the long whip was slammed on the horse's buttocks, and then the reins went around his body, and roared: "Master Hou, forward!" ”

The horse galloped away at the end of the long street!

Lu Shen's lips were pursed, he held the shield and the knife to break away from the battle, and followed behind the carriage in a few ups and downs, heading towards the real killing weapons in the distance.

The coachman leaned against half of the door, looked at the crossbow and the strong archers in front of him, and said sharply: "Bastards, grandpa is here!" ”

On the long street, there was only one galloping carriage, but it came like thousands of horses breaking through the waves.

This scene even calmed Meng Xuan and the dead soldiers around him.

The coachman obviously knew that he had no hope of surviving in the face of those terrifying arrows and crossbows, but there was no fear on his face, only a wild laugh that looked at death as if he were at home!

The carriage is Lu Shen's barrier, and as long as he gets close to the other party, he can disrupt the situation.

No one thought that things would change like this, the dead soldiers didn't even release arrows to try to kill the coachman, then they heard Meng Xuan roar: "Let the carriage go over, swear to kill Lu Shen!" ”

Suddenly, the wind rises on the street corner.

A dusty, weather-stained woman appeared, looking at the situation on the long street, and then rushed forward.

Her eyes were terrifyingly bright, and there was a cold killing intent like a wasteland wind.

The horse chopping knife was held in his hand, and the body of the knife was filled with a cold light that washed away all the filth in the world.

Her speed grew faster and faster, and a whistling wind swept up.

Meng Xuan and the other dead soldiers suddenly found this knife-wielding woman who appeared behind them, and they couldn't react at all in their minds, because the location of today's assassination was well chosen, whether it was the center of the imperial court or the warp weaving department, even if they learned about the situation here in the first place, it would take a long time to send someone to come.

It was okay for a middle-aged man who could block Yin Qianjie to appear before, how could a woman with an incomparably powerful momentum appear at this moment?

On the other side, the carriage had rushed to the vicinity of everyone, and the coachman couldn't believe that he was not dead, and when he saw the oncoming woman clearly, his face suddenly appeared excited.

Lu Shen, who was attached to the back of the carriage, spread his wings like an eagle, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and leaped into the air towards the men in black who had retreated to the side of the street in a hurry.

At this moment, a more gorgeous, more powerful, and endlessly murderous sword light lit up not far away.

Lu Shen turned his head to look at it, and saw that extremely longing face appear in his sight.

Lin Xi also looked at Lu Shen, and there were a thousand words hidden in that eye.

The two swords reflected each other, like a large net covering the sky and the sun, enveloping the black-clothed dead soldiers with crossbows at their waists, the archers with strong bows, and Meng Xuan.

They have nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, nowhere to run!

The sword light fell from the sky, smashing the waist crossbow that could easily take people's lives, smashing a strong bow with tension through the golden stone, and smashing all the reliance of these black-clothed dead soldiers!

Lu Shen and Lin Xi staggered by, without saying a word, they already had the same heart.

In front of these two sword rays that accompanied each other, all the enemies were reduced to powder!
