Chapter 24: Assassination on Rainy Night
Halfway through the journey, the sky gradually became faint, and after a short while, it started to rain. It crackled and hit the top of the carriage, splashing big splashes of water.
The sun is shining when go out in the morning, and the weather is changing really fast. The attendants who accompanied him didn't bring rain gear, and they were soaked by the rain. Qin Nuo told Lee Maru to take the two people back to the villa to get rain gear, while instructing the carriage to speed up.
After getting off the official road, passing through a forest, not long after walking, suddenly there was a neighing noise from the side of the carriage.
It was Fang Yuan who was following on the side of the carriage that suddenly stopped the horse and shouted sharply, "Stop!"
"What's the matter?" Qin Nuo asked the probe while pushing the window.
"My son, there is an abnormality in front, turn around quickly." Fang Yuan's expression was extremely solemn.
"What's the exception?" Qin Nuo was surprised, looking at the guards around him, they were all puzzled.
Qin Nuo moved his lips, before uttering a word, his eyes widened suddenly. Countless arrows suddenly appeared on the dark sky, like migratory locusts suddenly rising, rushing in the direction of the carriage from the end of the sky.
The piercing sound is extremely harsh! Even the dull guards noticed it.
I don't know who screamed: "There is an assassin..." It stopped abruptly without finishing a sentence, and then the heavy body fell from the horse's back, splashing mud and water mixed with blood.
Qin Nuo couldn't see all of this anymore. Just as the arrow appeared in the sky, Fang Yuan kicked the car door, grabbed his arm, and then dragged him out.
Qin Nuo rolled over on the ground, feeling that he was kicked on his waist and rolled directly under the carriage.
The overwhelming rain of arrows could reach the target. The arrow hit the top of the carriage and the wall, making a sharp rubbing sound, making Qin Nuo even think that it was not an arrow, but a bullet.
There was also a dull sound that penetrated the bones and the screams of the guards, which made people frightened.
Through the gap in the bottom of the car, Qin Nuo could see that the guards around the carriage were waving their swords and resisting with the car body as a shelter, but soon, one after another screams and falling sounds rang out.
The rain of arrows is endless, shooting from all directions.
Crimson blood flowed down the winding rain to the bottom of the carriage.
Qin Nuo trembled uncontrollably.
Soon, there was no living guard around the carriage, and more than two dozen guards were wiped out, except for the one beside him.
Fang Yuan got in as soon as he tucked him under the carriage.
He stared outside dignifiedly, watching his colleagues fall one by one, his eyes closed and opened again.
"Master, the arrow will stop later, and an assassin must come to clear the field. When the time comes, your subordinates will go out first and lead the people away. You immediately run backwards, don't look back. There is a mountain stream in the direction behind us, jump You can escape into the river."
"Huh?" Qin Nuo looked blank, feeling that the whole world had collapsed.
When did he have such a powerful enemy? This kind of imposing manner that would kill himself and wish for a thousand swords, he was just a powerless and idle princess!
"Master, now is not the time to be afraid. If you want to escape this catastrophe, you only have this opportunity." Fang Yuan reminded as simple and concisely as possible, "The subordinates don't know how many assassins are there and how much time they can delay. All please, Lord. Take care."
A wry smile appeared on Junxiu’s face. After being defeated and captured in the Southern Dynasties, he has gone through many humiliations and lived here. I didn’t expect to die to save an enemy king. Ha, I don’t know how that person would react if he knew it. , Will you scold yourself for treachery and forget your righteousness? Forget it, for the sake of this young lord's benevolence...
After the brief explanation, he stopped speaking, as if the entire world was left with only the vast rainstorm and overwhelming arrows.
Qin Nuo gradually calmed down, and the sound of the arrow rain outside gradually decreased. It seemed that the assassin estimated that the person was almost dead and was about to stop.
He tilted his head slightly and saw Fang Yuan's whole body tense. His eyes were cold and clear, it was the look and momentum that really belonged to a soldier. At this moment, his gentle Tsing Yi attendant was no longer in front of him, but a sharp sword, waiting for the moment when he pulled out the scabbard and surprised the crowd.
Is he really just an ordinary lieutenant? Thinking of the information given to me by the battlefield, Nanchen was born as a concubine, a seventh-ranked lieutenant in the army, and was defeated and captured...
Qin Nuo didn't know why he was still thinking about these unfocused things at such a tense moment.
The arrow rain stopped. There was no more sound around, and in this deathly silence, Qin Nuo felt more and more suffocating fear.
Not long after, low footsteps came, gradually approaching from all directions.
Qin Nuo could hear his heart beating like a drum. He swallowed, and recalled what Fang Yuan had said to him just now. He was about to run back, but he felt that his legs and feet were soft.
The sound of the enemy's footsteps approached step by step, and the people around him were desperately preparing, and they were about to jump up.
However, variables are born again!
Among the corpses that had fallen on the ground, suddenly there was a "deceitful corpse".
He leaped up, and the light of the knife opened the gloomy rain curtain, and in an instant a bloodbath was swept up. It was the blood of the enemy. Two of the assassins separated their heads and screams before they even screamed. They fell dead on the spot.
There are still people alive! The black-clothed assassins are all well-trained killers, and they immediately turned around, and a dozen good men surrounded the guards who had just cheated the corpse.
To be precise, it was not the guard, but the coachman. The coachman sent to him by the Zhao family workshop for temporary use had a mess of arrows just now. thought he had been shot long ago. didn't expect to die by hiding under the horse carcass. Wounded.
The blade is horizontal and horizontal, as fast as lightning, and every move is full of fierceness and determination. Is such martial arts just a coachman? Even though his life was hanging by a thread, Qin Nuo still looked a little dazed.
With every cut of the coachman, the opponent's blood will be brought in, but it doesn't seem to be of much use. There are nearly a hundred people in black, and the martial arts are good, but there is only one coachman.
Fang Yuan at the bottom of the car gave a low smile, "God has given me a good opportunity, and the chances of the prince's escape are greatly increased. When the subordinates go down and help that person, please take care of yourself."
Before he could say anything, he rolled around on the ground and rushed out of the bottom of the carriage.
An accident happened again, and the formation of the man in black was suddenly messed up, "There is still an ambush, surrounded! Can't let any of them go!"
The stern voice confessed the mission to kill.
Fang Yuan calmly dealt with the enemy's ultimate move, while gradually approaching the coachman's teammates and gradually away from the carriage.
After fighting for a while, Fang Yuan suddenly yelled, "Go!" His stern moves, conflicting left and right, connected and chopped down several assassins, and successfully reunited with the coachman.
The assassins only thought that he wanted to greet his companions to break through, but Qin Nuo under the carriage understood that at this time he warned himself that the time had come!
He gritted his teeth and rolled out from under the carriage, then jumped up and ran back immediately.
The sound of the boundless heavy rain, the sharp screams of killing, all intertwined into a curtain of panic, shrouded the entire world. In this oppressive background, Qin Nuo ran forward desperately.
He had never run so desperately in his two lives. He even suspects that if his current speed is used by later generations, he may be able to break Liu X's record.
His actions were quickly discovered by the man in black, and the thunderous shouting sounded: "There are still people! Hurry up, can't let him run...Ah!" The shouts and screams were intertwined, Qin Nuo understood, that It was Fang Yuan who were fighting for time to escape for themselves.
The two legs were as heavy as lead pouring, but Qin Nuo didn't stop at all. Soon, the small river passing by when he came appeared in front of him.
Arrows fell by his side from time to time, Qin Nuo couldn't take care of it anymore, so he rushed to the river and jumped inside.
Fortunately, I can swim. Swim forward in the river for orders. At this time, he was 10,000 fortunate, and he was down the river.
Because of the heavy rain, the originally calm river rushed turbulently. Qin Nuo was like a small fish in it, ups and downs, trying his best to swim forward.
Finally, don't know how long he has been swimming, he climbed onto the shore, and there was no movement of the chasing soldiers behind him, he took a breath of two breaths, then he got up and continued to run forward! He was going back to find the rescuer, Fang Yuan and the coachman were still fighting desperately. He can't give up on them!
Just when he felt that he was going to die because of running, there was a rush of horseshoes in front of him.
who is it! Qin Nuo couldn't take care of it anymore, he rushed out and fell on the road.
Help!
Those walking on the official roads should not be the Assassins' comrades. When was exhausted, only this thought remained in mind.
