The shot hit well, but the person who was shot dead was in the back.
Grief was so sad that he shed tears, and he took his life to accompany the murderer.
Carrying the wounded did not feel tired, and turned the danger into the palace.
"You asked the old lady to get out of the car, but the old lady hasn't said to let you get off the car, a little? You said you, I haven't even signaled to you, why did you do it outside first. It's good to be down, and the hundreds of infantry behind are catching up, and now, you're finally satisfied. ”
Princess Changping, who was sitting on the right side of the carriage in front of the carriage, had just sat down, and the farts were not yet warm, when she suddenly heard Wang Kai, who was sitting on the left side of the carriage, to drive her out of the carriage, she immediately put on an aggressive posture, turned her head, and choked.
Wang Kai, who was sitting on the left side of the carriage in front of the carriage, just now only cared about the carriage and horses and whipping the carriage, and had no time to take care of the person of unknown origin who was sitting on the right side of the carriage, and issued an "expulsion order", after hearing the familiar woman's voice, he turned his head, and found that the person sitting on his right side turned out to be Princess Changping dressed as a shop guy.
"It turned out to be Princess Changping, Fang Cai, I didn't see it clearly when I was on the road, I'm really sorry. Wang Kai breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Princess Changping was safe and sound, and then apologized with a good attitude and said.
Immediately after, Wang Kai heard the sound of horses' hooves not far behind, and the faint sound of messy footsteps, he turned his head to look at the back of the carriage, as far as he could see, it was about three or four feet away from the back of the carriage they were riding, and there were twenty or thirty cavalrymen galloping in front of them, and fifty or sixty infantry followed.
After seeing this, Wang Kai first "chuckled" in his heart, then turned around, looked ahead, and reminded loudly: "Princess Changping, you can sit down, then I will drive the carriage through this alley quickly, and I will go to the front to choose a few more alleys that can only be passed by our carriage alone and have forked roads, I have to quickly get rid of so many cavalry and infantry behind."
"If they chase after us, even if the two of us are a perfect match, we will be arrested by them in the end because we are outnumbered. You're going to sit still, I'm going to exert my strength. ’
As soon as Wang Kai's words fell, he went to the back of the horse's butt that pulled the carriage in front of him and "snapped" the horsewhip in his hand a few times, and the horse that was full of forage in the morning immediately rushed forward desperately, and soon came out of this deep alley, under the guidance of Wang Kai, who was proficient in horse language, the horse-drawn carriage entered the alley with several forks.
At the same time, in front of the door of the hall on the first floor of the Hospitable Residence, there were still fifty infantry and twenty cavalry, and out of the carriage of the large carriage parked in front of the door came a big man with gray hair and magnificent hair, dressed in a red robe and a red melon-skin hat, and riding boots.
I saw this big man in red clothes, with tears in his eyes, looking at the man who was shot in the back of his head and bleeding and lying on the front door of the carriage, a circle smaller than him, but very similar in appearance, his cheeks were full of hatred, and under grief, he stood on the ground on the front side of the carriage, and immediately hugged his head and cried as if no one was around.
A middle-aged man in armor standing next to him, after stopping talking a few times, finally opened his mouth to comfort: "Lord Ao, life cannot be resurrected, and I ask you to mourn and change your old days." ”
As soon as the middle-aged man in armor finished speaking, the old man in red, who was still immersed in infinite grief, stopped crying, took out a handkerchief from his cuff, wiped the little tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and let out a long roar in the sky, which shook the houses within a radius of two or three zhang trembled slightly.
The old man in red, who hung his head, turned around and faced the middle-aged man in armor standing beside him, shook his head, sighed for a long time, and said in an incredible tone: "Alas, General Marti, tell me, my brother Zhuo Butai is honest and honest by nature, and among the ministers of the court, he is kind to others and never enemies, why was he suddenly killed by an assassin of unknown origin?"
"Moreover, the weapon used by this assassin who doesn't know where to hide is not our common swords, guns, swords, and halberds, but the weapons that only foreigners have - foreign guns. The street in front of this hospitable house has obviously been cleaned up, there are no idle people, and the street is full of hundreds of personal soldiers from my Ao Mansion, why was Zhuo Butai shot by the assassin with a foreign gun.
"Alas, I should not have taken him out with me if I had known that my brother Cho Butai would have died here. If he had stayed in my house, he would not have been killed by the Assassins. ”
Marti is a close general under the command of Aobai, after hearing Aobai's remorseful words, he did not dare to have the slightest neglect, "plopped", knelt on the ground facing Aobai, lowered his head, and took the initiative to plead guilty: "Lord Ao, I came all the way from the palace today, and the lowly position is responsible for all the guards, as well as protecting the personal safety of Lord Ao and Brother Ling.
"Now, when Brother Ling suffered this accident and was killed by the assassins, it was because of the lack of vigilance and the security protection measures taken were not in place. Lord Ao, please also punish the lowly position, as far as Lord Ao, you cut off the head of the lowly position, and the lowly position will not hesitate. ”
After seeing Marti, whom he relied on a lot, kneeling on the ground and bowing his head to confess his guilt, he immediately bent down and helped Marti who was kneeling in front of him.
After gently patting Marti's shoulder twice with his hand, Ao Bai comforted and admonished and said: "General Marti, you have done your best, you can't be blamed for this, it's me Ao Bai who was too careless and didn't think it through." The most important thing for you now is to catch the assassin who assassinated my brother Zhuo Butai as soon as possible, and I will cut this assassin with a thousand knives. ”
Marti, who was lifted from the ground, immediately clasped his fists and respectfully said: "Lord Ao, that assassin appeared before you got out of the car, and he disguised himself as a one-life friend of the Hospitable Residence, and actually jumped out of the private room facing the street on the second floor of the Hospitable Residence, and was identified by the four guests in the private room who were invited to your 50th birthday banquet.
"At that time, I ordered all the infantry and cavalry to besiege the Assassin who had jumped from the second floor. It's just a pity that this assassin is really strong in martial arts, so that all the soldiers can't get close to him at all, so the assassin escapes. But ......"
When he heard Marti's announcement here, Ao Bai, who was listening to him, interrupted him a little angrily, and asked with hatred: "General Marti, the soldiers who are accompanying me today are all carefully selected soldiers from my house, there are more than 100 infantry and more than 50 cavalry, how can we not deal with a little thief who has appeared?"
"As the saying goes: 'Raise soldiers for a day, use soldiers for a while', so at such a critical moment, so many of us let this assassin run away. Alas, nothing but what, General Marti you continued. ”
Marti, who had been interrupted, listened to Aobai's questioning with great trepidation, and then continued: "However, it has been ascertained that this assassin has another answer. The answerer drove a carriage into the alley to the right of the backyard of the Hospitable Residence, and the Assassin got into the carriage. Sixty infantry and twenty cavalry had already been sent in pursuit.
"In my humble opinion, they are only in a carriage, and they are not moving fast, and the twenty horsemen I have sent out will surely catch up with them. Even if the Assassin's martial arts are strong, all the cavalry I sent out can ride and shoot well, and the infantry also knows how to arrange troops, I think that the Assassin and the Assassin's accomplices will not be able to escape. ”
After listening to Marti's report, Ao Bai nodded with satisfaction, but did not forget to advise: "General Marti, you are worthy of being the most capable and quick-witted general among my cadres. However, I will take him alive, and I will keep the assassin and his accomplice alive, and I must not hurt them.
"After I have caught the two of them, I will take revenge on Zhuo Butai myself. For the sake of safety, General Marti, you bring a few more men over, and I order you to capture both the assassin and the accomplices alive. ”
As soon as Aobai's words fell, Marti, who was standing in front of him and bowed his head and clenched his fists, immediately responded: "Obey your orders." ”
Immediately, Marti turned around, turned into his mount, and with five horsemen, rode his horse and whipped, and turned into one of the alleys on the left side of the Hospitable House.
And Wang Kai, who was driving the carriage, turned around in various alleys, but he couldn't shake off the cavalry that followed behind. Moreover, the cavalry was getting closer and closer to the carriage, from four or five zhang away at the beginning, to only about two zhang now.
Seeing that group of cavalry getting closer and closer to the carriage, Wang Kai, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that if it continued like this, it would not take half an hour to be caught up by the cavalry that was chasing closely.
At this critical moment, Wang Kai decided that he should abandon the carriage, and the smaller the target, the less likely it was to be caught up by the cavalry chasing behind. Moreover, after abandoning the carriage, he and Princess Changping have higher mobility flexibility, and it is a big deal to follow Princess Changping, who is strong in martial arts, and fly on the roofs of these ordinary people's houses, and those cavalry will naturally be difficult to catch up with them.
After thinking of this, Wang Kai told Princess Changping who was sitting on the side of him his idea, and the two hit it off and decided to act according to the plan.
Soon, at a fork in the alley, Wang Kai stopped the carriage, he and Princess Changping hurriedly got out of the carriage, he took out the wooden box that was not too heavy from the carriage, and then followed Princess Changping to a more remote and complicated place to live.
After seeing the cavalry chasing after her, Princess Changping hurriedly stretched out her right hand, grabbed one of Wang Kai's arms tightly, kicked the ground, and flew up to the roof of the house.
At this moment, Marti arrived from behind, and when he saw that the Assassin and his accomplice had gone up to the roof, he felt that even if he disobeyed Aobai's orders, he had to catch the Assassin and his accomplice first. As for whether the two of them are dead or alive, he feels that he must see people in life and corpses in death.
With this idea in mind, Marti hurriedly ordered the two dozen or so cavalrymen who had stopped, drew their bows and arrows, and shot bows and arrows at the roof where Princess Changping and Wang Kai were two zhang away.
After flying on the roof, Princess Changping dragged Wang Kai to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and was unexpectedly surprised by the bow and arrows that rained over, and an arrow was hit in the back of Princess Changping.
"Bang", Wang Kai and Princess Changping fell from the roof on the three or four courtyards, fortunately, Wang Kai's eyes were quick, and when he fell to the ground, Wang Kai was below, and Princess Changping fell face down on him.
Because Wang Kai was a special forces king in his previous life, although he has now crossed over to a sixteen-year-old thin boy, the foundation brought by the crossing in his previous life is still there, and he fell off the half-zhang high roof, but he is unharmed.
Wang Kai, who was not in serious trouble, quickly got up from the ground, put Princess Changping, who had fainted with an arrow wound on her back, on her back, and ran away.
Fortunately, the alley of the house where Wang Kai was now walking was separated by several courtyards from the cavalry that Marti was carrying, and he still had more time to choose the direction and place of escape.
After turning an alley, Wang Kai found that this place was not far from the noon gate of the palace, and there were at most three or four miles away. Because the first time he went out of the palace before, he and Xuan Ye followed Suo Etu to the hospitable house for dinner, and it was after passing through this place, he naturally recognized him with a developed memory.
Soon, Wang Kai came to the noon gate of the palace with Princess Changping who was hit by an arrow in her back, he held the imperial gold medal in his hand, and the noon gate on duty always recognized him, so he naturally let him enter the palace through the noon gate unimpeded.
Marti, who had been chasing all the way, with his cavalry, pursued all the way to the palace, and found that three or five miles away from the palace gate was noon, and the two of them were no longer seen as the accomplice of the assassin with an arrow in the back.
Marti, who stopped, was secretly puzzled and said: It's really strange, the assassin who was the accomplice with an arrow in the back could still faintly see the shadows of the two of them when he chased him all the way, how did he suddenly disappear when he arrived near the noon gate of the palace, and where did the two of them flee to.
