It was said that the ox shouted loudly all the way, but when he saw that the archers on the roof had already drawn their bows and wound them, they saw that the arrow feathers were like raindrops, shooting towards the two people.

"Hurry up! Presumably the assassin is coming, I'll resist for a while, sir, you come into the house!" Niu Tong pushed Yi Xian away, but he was shot with an arrow in his left arm, and blood immediately flowed down with his arm.

I saw the man in black on the roof, slowly raised his head, and with an arrow feather in his hand, he went directly through the eaves, impartially leaning on the head of the first, and the whole person suddenly fell to the ground, kicked his legs a few times, and there was no movement.

Niu Tong dragged the injured arm and crawled towards the post first, only to hear a "plop" sound, and another arrow in the thigh, so frightened that his face suddenly changed, and he rolled to the side.

This roll away, looking back at the ground that I was crawling on just now, it was already full of arrow feathers, and I couldn't help but pat my chest and secretly rejoice.

"Master, how are you, can you still hear my voice?" Niu Tong dodged the arrow feathers, came to the side of the post first, and desperately dragged him into the narcissus's room, knocking on the door, but heard the sound of the maid crying in the house.

"Ruhua! Are you inside? Hurry up and open the door for me! The old man was hit by a secret arrow, so he hurriedly came and dragged him into the house!" Niu Tong kept slapping the door, and finally closed the door, revealing a crack slightly.

"Is it the chief cow, why do you hear that your voice is a little different?" Ruhua looked through the crack in the door, but never saw anyone coming.

Niu Tong endured the pain in his arms and thighs, and slapped the door again and shouted: "On the ground! Look where you have gone! Hurry up and open the door! The old man is afraid that he will not be able to support it for long." Niu Tong coughed and whispered a low moan.

At the back of the corridor opposite, a man with a hood covering half of his face has been watching all this, looking at Ruhua and a few maids, dragging the post into the house, and then waving his right hand and saying to the Jinling guards behind him: "It's time to close the net, catch all the assassins above, and don't miss any of them, remember, it's all, you know?"

I saw that the Jinling guards had an order, and pulled out the steel knife on their waists, at this time in the attic window, arrows and feathers shot out one after another, and the black-clothed people on the roof were hit by arrows one after another, rolling down from the roof, and then looking at the streets and alleys, all of them were running guards, and the originally prosperous streets, except for the discarded debris, there was no trace of anyone to be found.

The man in black on the roof seemed to feel bad, so he waved his hand and said, "There is an ambush, today's assassination mission is canceled, retreat at full speed!"

The black-clothed people on the roof bent down and retreated, and suddenly there was a shout of killing, and I saw that on the roof in front, a group of Jinling guards blocked the way.

"No, hurry up and jump down and evacuate from the alley next to you, hurry up! Otherwise, we will let this gang of thieves outflank them and become prisoners of the stairs!" the black-clad masked man said in a gentle voice, but loudly.

I saw this group of masked black-clothed people jumping from the roof to the courtyard wall, jumping into the alley again, and rolling on the ground, which can be regarded as officially landing safely.

The man in black at the head looked left and right, and then waved his right hand and said: "I'm afraid there are patrolling guards in this street and alley, let's go behind, maybe there will be fewer sentry posts, let's go!"

I saw that these twenty or so people in black followed the leader one after another, and walked towards the back alley, only to hear a shout, which made everyone stop.

At the end of the alley, dozens of Jinling guards suddenly came out, everyone held torches in their left hands and steel knives and spears in their right hands, blocking the road, and the entrance of the alley was already blocked.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a little firelight, another team of Jinling guards outflanked from the back road, and they were about to close the net, and everyone was about to become a fish in the net.

"Walking in the dark alley next to it, in order to save their lives, it is better for everyone to be wronged first than to let them be forced to a dead end. The man in black took the lead and ran towards the black alley, but when he saw the crowd walking to the entrance of the alley, he had no desire to go in.

It turned out that this alley was not only dark, but also accompanied by a smell of urine, and everyone behind pinched their noses and covered their mouths, and fanned the wind in front of them with their hands to fan away the strange smell.

The leader looked back at the pursuers at these two ends, shook his head helplessly, and said: "This road is at your feet, either stand here and wait for death, or rush out of this stinky alley, you choose for yourself, right?"

Seeing that the pursuer was getting closer and closer, the leader sighed, covered his nose and burrowed into the black alley, slowly moving away from the sound of footsteps.

The black-clothed people in the back didn't care much, they all covered their noses and ran towards the black alley.

The Jinling guards in front and behind were together, and I saw the leader who took the lead, covering his nose and drawing his sword, before he could speak, he coughed non-stop, and then stammered: "Hurry up and chase me, if you run away from the assassin, no one will want to have a good life." ”

The Jinling guards have inserted the steel knife into the scabbard, holding the torch in the left hand, covering the nose with the right hand, and chasing towards the dark alley.

An old woman came out of this room, wearing her clothes and pushing the half-hidden door, and shouted to the courtyard door: "Old man, what's the matter? I don't let people sleep in the middle of the night? What happened outside?"

The old man behind the gate of this courtyard bent over and turned around, coughed and said: "It should be the officers and soldiers who are arresting people, and many officers and soldiers are searching the streets, something serious may have happened? Let's hurry back to the house! ”

The old man hobbled towards the old woman, patted her on the shoulder and waved, "Let's go in!

The two old men closed the door, blew out the oil lamp, and just lay down, they heard a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, followed by a constant noise.

The old man sat up, took the fire twist again, lit the oil lamp, and turned back to the old woman on the bed while dressing: "I'll go out and have a look, this midnight, has been making noise until now, if you want to sleep peacefully, I'm afraid it's difficult, I'll call you if there's something, go to sleep, go to sleep!"

The old man pushed open the door and came to the gate of the courtyard, and a smell of blood came to his nose, so he walked towards the smell, and saw a dark figure slowly squirming at the firewood.

"Who the hell are you? Why did you come to my courtyard, you know, this trespass on the house, that is going to be a lawsuit, hurry up and leave me, if not, I will call someone to report to the official." The old man said tremblingly.

The man in black lying on the ground heard the old man's shout, so he slowly turned around, only to see that the man had been stabbed in the chest, and his shirt had been torn open with a long slit, and the blood flowed down it.

There was a sharp knock outside the door, and both of them looked towards the door......
