Chapter 3 Assassination

Lao Liang roared, and reacted first. Pulling out a large blade pinned to his waist, he rushed towards the comer, and the rest of the swordsmen also entered the battle state in an instant to meet the enemy.

It can be seen that a few swordsmen have worked with Lao Liang before, and they are all moving closer to him at this time, maybe they want to cooperate with each other.

King Luo Kang also seemed to feel the unusual atmosphere at this moment, got out of the carriage and stepped on the wheel with one foot, looking at the two groups of people who were about to fight from a distance, and he couldn't tell what kind of expression his face was.

However, a group of nurses were still standing in place, some of them didn't seem to react yet, and some of them moved closer to King Luokang's carriage and protected them behind them.

Dugu Yuanchen turned over and got on the horse, and shot out with his legs like an arrow against the wind. Some nursing homes were also excited when they saw this scene, and they all learned from Dugu Yuanchen to get on the horse and gallop away.

Dugu Yuanchen heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and looked back to see some of the nurses' faces flushed with excitement.

are all young people who have never seen the cruelty of the rivers and lakes!

The closer Lao Liang and his people get to the enemy, the slower they become, and those who have experienced this kind of fighting know that no matter how fast they are, they can't beat the enemy's horse, and only when they stand firm can they cut off the enemy's horse legs.

Of course, there are also those who don't know, so they just shout and rush into the crowd. Some of the guards who came on horseback also came from behind at this time, and like the swordsmen who rushed to the front, they rushed into the opposing camp.

These nursing homes have never really fought with people in the Ximing Kingdom, and as the palace's nursing homes, even if it is a competition, it is to the point.

And now it could be a team of horse thieves, or it could be a group of killers.

This is a real fight, a deadly fight, this is not a contest, it is a bloodshed and death.

The moment they came into contact with the enemy, the black-clothed men on horseback suddenly gathered in the shape of a half-moon, and then blood flickered, and after a few back and forth, the guards who rushed in front were cut off their horses.

The fastest to die are always those who shout the loudest.

Dugu Yuanchen could see the difference in strength at a glance, and the closer he got to it, the more he could feel the thick murderous aura of those black-clothed men who didn't speak.

Even if there is a serious disparity in strength, they have a numerical advantage after all, and at the same time that the head of one of the guards was cut off, the other also cut off the arm of the person opposite, but the person who broke off the arm did not say a word.

Dugu Yuanchen didn't understand why this team of thirteen people could be so ruthless, in fact, it would be more accurate to say that it was cruel.

Not all the guards and swordsmen are like tofu dregs that can be broken in a single hit, Lao Liang took his three brothers in pairs, one group specializes in chopping the front legs of horses, and the other group goes up to quickly solve them when people fall.

Lao Liang's four people were looking for the marginal or lone man in black in the melee, which really brought a lot of trouble to the other party. That's how it doesn't make those men in black too unscrupulous.

Dugu Yuanchen snatched the scimitar from the hands of a man in black, this is a light and sharp knife, the blade is not wide or thick, it is not suitable for slashing in a chaotic battle, but more suitable for assassination. One

How could such a weapon suitable for assassination appear in the chaos of the battle? Suddenly, Dugu Yuanchen seemed to understand something, he looked up and looked around, and finally saw the person he saw by the river last night.

Only this time he stood on a mountain bag farther away, observing the battle situation on this side without hesitation.

The fierce battle between the two sides did not last long, and the men in black seemed to have received some kind of signal, or had agreed on a time to retreat in advance.

Often people who are in the whirlpool cannot feel its cruelty, perhaps this is what people often call the authorities obsessed.

Most of the people who are fighting can't think about the blood, and only when the matter is over and the emotions have calmed down will they discover its horror.

The man in black retreated after replacing six for sixteen.

None of the bodies left were intact.

Now, even the men in black, twenty-two corpses were placed side by side in front of everyone, and after a battle, six swordsmen and ten guards died.

Twenty-two is a very large number, and it is also an extremely cruel and terrifying number.

Those maids or nurses who had never seen a dead person were suddenly beaten into the ice cave by the cold twenty-two corpses, how could they stand this kind of visual impact.

Someone looked at the twenty-two corpses, their faces were like a blank piece of paper, and even their bodies couldn't help but shiver a few times.

Some of them were their friends, and they had eaten and slept together just last night, and they had even had a few words not long ago, but now they were all lying there coldly.

King Luo Kang's face was ugly, and his brows were so furrowed that he could wring out water.

Zhuang Huyuan stepped forward to check the identity of the man in black, and his face became unnatural: "Lord Wang, you see this is ......"

In his hand was a black iron ring, somewhat similar to the one on the horse's bridle. It's just that this hoop tends to be more of an ornament, while the hoop on the bridle is more practical.

King Luo Kang took the iron ring, the texture and weight are not bad, and even the pattern and code name on the inner ring of the iron ring are exactly the same, which cannot be faked.

Someone has seen or heard of this kind of iron ring, then he should know that this is the symbol of the "Iron Army" with the strongest combat power in the Ximing Kingdom.

The main task of the Iron Army is to be responsible for the security of the imperial city and the aid to the frontier, and it is also directly under the orders of the Western Ming Emperor to carry out assassination missions against important people.

King Lokang seemed to be suspicious, so he personally walked up to the men in black and picked up their knives, flicked his fingers lightly, and made a clear and pleasant sound.

This knife can't be wrong, five years ago, he participated in the design, selection of materials, and then specially equipped for the Iron Army assassination team.

King Lokang held this knife, and it was all too familiar.

He had been told that King Siming had murderous intentions against him, but he had always believed it to be a rumor. Because he and the current King of Ximing are not only a simple monarch and minister, but also an uncle and nephew.

King Luo Kang gently put down the knife in his hand, closed his eyes and raised his head slightly, perhaps as others said, King Ximing had become wary of himself.

But I have already returned to the northwest for retirement, why do you want to do this to me?

"Find a few people to burn the body and continue on your way. ”

The sun was cruising the same path as ever, but the team had gone from light-hearted and cheerful to exhausted in one morning.

They were even terrified, because they knew that there was never more than one assassination team like this, and it was impossible for those who were targeted by the Iron Army to just forget it.

Dugu Yuanchen carried the corpse wordlessly, and then burned it.

"What's the matter, you're scared, you don't look like it!" Leaving to dispose of the corpse were Lao Liang and his brothers.

Behind Lao Liang, a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old was picking up an arm and throwing it into the fire: "Yes, Brother Yuanchen, at first glance, you are a master who has seen the world, how can you be afraid! ”

Lao Liang turned around and patted the young man on the head: "You kid talks a lot." ”

The young man named Ah Shui touched his head and smiled: "Brother Yuanchen is not an outsider. ”

Now it was everyone's turn to laugh, the tall and thin man with cheeks didn't like to talk, so he learned Ah Shui to touch the top of his head, and showed a sincere smile towards Nie Xiao.

"Wang Baifeng, don't laugh so angrily, okay, men have to ...... like this" The short and fat man named Zou Fu walked over and jumped up and gave Dugu Yuanchen a hug, then looked at Wang Baifeng, who was full of beard, and said, "Twist and pinch not like a man."

Wang Baifeng still didn't fight back, only rubbed his chest with his hand to relieve the embarrassment, who made him not like to talk!

Lao Liang, Wang Baifeng, Zou Fu, Ah Shui, Dugu Yuanchen knew that these four people were indeed "interesting", and it could be seen from the fact that they fought with the man in black, although everyone didn't have much time to brag and fart together on weekdays, but the real friendship was reflected when they encountered danger.

You block the sword for me and I block the arrow for you, this kind of situation has long been commonplace among the four people.

To give each other their backs is to give their lives to each other, and only people who trust each other can do it, and it is clear that they trust each other.

Now this small group has also given this trust to Dugu Yuanchen.

Because they all saw Dugu Yuanchen in the chaotic battle, he did save them many times.

Lao Liang walked over: "You won't find anything again, will you?"

Dugu Yuanchen looked around and saw that there were only five of them, so he beckoned them to come over: "There is something strange about this matter. ”

Lao Liang was puzzled: "What the hell is going on?"

Dugu Yuanchen said: "I have just checked, every person in black has calluses on his buttocks and crotch, only the nomads who are on horseback all the year round will be sharpened into this by the saddle, as far as I know, the person in charge of assassination in the Ximing Iron Army does not ride a horse all year round." Moreover, how could an iron army squad that is good at assassination rush up to fight us like this?"
