I’m The King

Chapter 536: : Assassination

In the evening the snow was lighter, but the wind was colder. The torch was struggling to maintain it in the piercing cold wind. It seemed that it could be blown out at any time. The snow accumulated during the day was not frozen hard at this time. It also made the warhorse a little difficult, and the progress of the entire team was not very fast. Fortunately, Baiyang Village was only fifty miles away from Jishi City. Hold on, that is, two hours, and strive to return to the city before midnight. This article is by. .

  

The people on the road are quiet. He Lanxiong is thinking about Wu Xinlian's affairs. Yan Shenghao is thinking about how to implement the lofty political policy when he goes back. Gao Yuan is thinking about the next war with the Donghu people. Thorpe is not a good person to deal with. You need to use your heart carefully. The accompanying soldiers are doing their best to pay attention to the torch in their hands not to be blown out by the wind and snow.

  

   All of a sudden, except for the rustle of snow seeds hitting the cloak, the faint sound of falling on the ground, and the crackling sound of burning torches, even the sound of horseshoes was dissipated by the fluffy snow.

  

But in this silence, Gao Yuan's cold hair suddenly stood up, and a great sense of crisis suddenly rose from his heart. This was a situation he had never encountered before. At this moment, his whole body was almost Stiff.

  

  He stopped abruptly, and Yan Shenghao, who was half of his position behind him, didn’t notice for a while. He almost collided with him, leaned back on his horse, and walked side by side with Gao Yuan, "What's the matter, Governor?"

  

   He saw Gao Yuan's face quite bad.

  

"Careful!" At this moment, Gao Yuan suddenly yelled, his body turned, and fell from his horse to one side like a stone. At the same time he fell, he stretched out a hand and grabbed Yan Shenghao. Yan Shenghao, caught off guard, fell towards the horse with Gao Yuan.

  

   Almost at the same moment, between the quiet world, the sound of a crossbow shot. Covering the rustling sound of Xueseed, Gao Yuan fell to the ground. Yan Shenghao was a little late, and he was struck by a crossbow arrow on his right shoulder. He screamed immediately. Fortunately, Gao Yuan pulled him, otherwise, this time, He was afraid that he would be killed on the spot.

  

   He Lanxiong is extremely alert, just after the word Gao Yuan Caution was uttered, he was already turning over. The whole person hid to the side of the horse's belly, and the crossbow arrows rang. He clearly heard the dull sound of the crossbow bolts penetrating the belly of the horse he was riding, and Yan Shenghao's long scream.

  

   He immediately leaped off the horse, lying on the ground all over, the horse was injured, hissed in surprise, and rushed out to the side.

  

   "There is an assassin!" He Lanxiong choked and drew the scimitar from his waist. Pressing the hand on the ground, like a poisonous snake, it slid forward on the ground, from the angle of the arrow in the war horse. He had already judged the direction from which the crossbow arrow was shot.

  

   This round of crossbow arrows was shot from not far away from under the snow. In the first round, several guards dropped their horses upside down and their horses neighed and rushed. He jumped off his horse and squatted on the ground, holding Yan Shenghao in one hand. After a glance at Yan Shenghao's injury, the heart that was raised just fell down. Fortunately, it was not the point.

  

After a brief panic, these guards who were accompanying them immediately showed extraordinary response power. The dozens of horses behind them moved forward, one by one, and surrounded Yan Shenghao and Gao Yuan in the middle. Everyone dismounted. , Forming a circle inside, so that the two of them didn’t even have any gaps, and no matter how many crossbow arrows were fired, they couldn’t shoot them in front of them. The remaining guards shouted loudly and ran in the direction where the crossbow arrows came from. .

  

The originally flat snow suddenly exploded, and dozens of figures jumped out from under the snow, all dressed in white robes, and even their heads and faces were wrapped in a white mask. If such people are lying on the snow I didn't move at all, in such a night, I couldn't notice it at all.

  

   The crossbow machine in their hands is being raised. Just after the first round of shooting, they re-winded the crossbow bolt in a very fast speed. With this degree alone, these people are an extremely well-known assault team.

  

   But what they are facing is the elite who reacted more than them.

  

When the crossbow machine was just lifted, He Lanxiong had already arrived in front of them, supported on the ground with one hand, a scimitar in his hand, blood bursting out, and the wrists of the two were immediately cut off. He Lanxiong was already screaming loudly. Rushing into their ranks, and the dozen or so guards who rushed up were only a bit slower than them.

  

   With a high face like ice, he handed Yan Shenghao to an accompanying guard, slowly stood up, stretched his hand around his waist, and the three-rowed army thorn that hadn't been used for a long time appeared in his hand again.

  

He walked out and opened a gap around his guards. The two guards walked out together with him. The positions of the two of them are very strange. Their broad bodies each block one third of the height. Body, in this way, even if there is a sudden attack, they can use their bodies to block the attack no matter how bad they are.

  

"Catch the alive!" Gao Yuan was angry. If it weren't for his inherent vigilance that he had noticed the abnormality at this time, he had just attacked in the first round, I was afraid that he and Yan Shenghao would have to lie down on the spot. He had too many enemies, in the end. He must figure out who wants his own life.

  

   At the same time that Gao Yuan said these words, He Lanxiong had already killed several people. Obviously, He Lanxiong was extremely angry with such a sudden attack. The knife was deadly and he did not leave his hands. At this time, his thick arm was strangling the neck of another killer, and the scimitar in his hand was about to plunge into the person's chest and abdomen. Hearing high words, his wrist turned and the hilt hit the person's head hard. , The man snorted and fell softly.

  

At this time, what Gao Yuan didn't know was that at a distance of dozens of steps away from the assassination scene, there was another person lying on the snow, with a crossbow in his hand, and the faint blue arrow moving with Gao Yuan's footsteps. After a long while, he finally put it down, because the two guards around Gao Yuan are in excellent positions. No matter which angle he is aiming at, he hears the roar of crossbow arrows, the other party has time to block Gao Yuan with his body. I can't go.

  

Looking not far away, more than a dozen assassins had been taken down one by one. The man sighed silently. Although he was still lying on the ground, his body kept retreating on the ground, leaving a winding trail on the ground. The imprints of Zou had already withdrawn dozens of steps away in an instant, and the whole person had been hidden in the darkness.

  

Compared with the murderous aura of more than a dozen people who wanted to do it before, the one on the other side appeared to be much more powerful. From beginning to end, Gao Yuan was not aware of it. There is also a beast watching on one side, if it is not for the guard training around him. Sophisticated, with this arrow, I'm afraid that Gaoyuan Shiyou will not be able to dodge it.

  

The battle started suddenly and ended quickly. Fifteen assassins, ten were beheaded on the spot, five were captured alive, and only two of the five alive were intact. The other three, although the guards He kept his hands, but he couldn't retract and put them freely like He Lanxiong. The three living people were already dying at this time.

  

   "The governor is from Yan Lingwei!" A guard found an iron plate from the assassin and presented it to Gao Yuan with both hands.

  

   snorted high and raised his chin, "Search it all."

  

   After a while, all fifteen iron medals were placed on the snow in front of Gao Yuan.

  

   "Yan Lingwei, Tan Feng!" Gao Yuan was furious. "Go and interrogate the two guys. Separately, there must be a lie, one by one."

  

   The two assassins who were captured by He Lanxiong immediately dragged the guards to the sides, tens of meters apart, and the voices between each other were impossible to hear.

  

   "Captain, come here quickly, the arrow is poisonous." The guard taking care of Yan Shenghao suddenly screamed.

  

   was taken aback and turned back quickly. The guard had just torn off Yan Shenghao's arm and was going to bandage him, but suddenly saw that the arrow was hit in black.

  

   "How far is it from Jishi City?"

  

   "Captain Governor, we have just walked halfway, there are still more than 20 miles away from Jishi City." A guard said.

  

   Gao Yuan looked at Yan Shenghao's injury with a solemn face, and within the time of these few words, the black color had expanded in a circle. It seemed that Yan Shenghao would be poisoned if he couldn't make it to the stone city.

  

   "This poison is so powerful, General, what should I do?"

  

Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, his wrist shook, and the thin blade that was rarely shown appeared between his fingers, "Strictly discuss politics, bear with it." He said loudly, with a shriek, the knife fell on the darkened muscles. Sliding along the place where the black air was spreading, a large black muscle was immediately picked up and provoked by him, leaving it far away.

  

   "Rope!" Gao Yuan stretched out his hand.

  

A guard handed over a piece of cloth tape and tightened it high and far above Yan Shenghao’s wound. Although he picked out the place where the arrow was hit, the poison did not get rid of it. As time goes on, it will still slowly move towards Yan Shenghao. Heart attack.

  

   "If you come, immediately return to Jishicheng to report a letter, and let Doctor Qiu prepare for treatment soon."

  

   The two guards turned on their horses and lashed them on the stocks with a violent whip. At this time, they could not care about the horses.

  

   "Helan, you are good at equestrianism, and take a strict political discussion. Let's go back to Jishicheng."

  

   A group of people mounted their horses and hurried towards the direction of Jishi City. After a while, the guards who remained behind to interrogate the prisoners also rushed up. "General, they are all Yan Lingwei people. They came to Jishicheng on this trip to assassinate Yan Yizheng~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A guard rushed to Gao Yuan's side and said loudly. "The leader is Li Yuncong. . "

  

   "Li Yuncong?" Gao Yuan was taken aback. He heard this person, "Has Li Yuncong just died?"

  

   "No, that person said Li Yuncong never showed up from beginning to end." The guard replied.

  

   Take a long breath and feel a little bit afraid. It seems that Li Yuncong must have been watching on one side just now, but he did not find a chance to kill him. Their goal is Yan Shenghao. It seems that Yan Lingwei originally wanted to kill Yan Shenghao, causing chaos in Jishi City, causing suspicion between Hejian County and Jishi City. He did not expect that he and Yan Shenghao would be together. He Lanxiong was also with him.

  

   "Where are the prisoners?"

  

   "All killed!" the guard said.

  

   Gao Yuan nodded, and understood the whole story, it didn't matter whether these prisoners existed or not. (To be continued...)
