NCCnovel Chapter 582 Ge Tingxuan
Chapter 582 Ge Tingxuan
In an instant, more than a dozen assassins in black, holding long knives, bent over the eaves, and rushed over as light as a swallow, chasing the carriage.
"Kill her!" The leader whispered a signal.
All of a sudden, dark shadows jumped down from great heights and slashed towards the carriage. Several people holding longbows began to shoot the people driving the horses.
In just a few breaths, the clanging sounds of the Kanglong Mace and the long arrow colliding were endless.
Jiuchou grabbed the frame of the car with one hand and used the Kanglong mace with the other hand to fight with the man in black, who was chasing him relentlessly.
Fortunately, the people who had been left behind in the dark also showed up one after another.
On the crowded street, the two groups fought hard for a while.
Amid the flash of swords and sabers, countless vendors' stalls were smashed and the coal in the hands of some people was scattered. However, many fearless people bent down to pick up the coal, then scooped it up in their clothes and hurriedly ran away.
The carriage was stuck and the journey was difficult.
'boom! '
Jiuchou kicked an assassin away, and the assassin fell heavily to a halt, with bits and pieces scattered all over his body.
Before Shen Shuyi could lift the car curtain, suddenly, a long knife with a cold glow suddenly stabbed into the car window.
Qin Xin reacted very quickly and raised the scabbard to stop him.
Fire burst out, and the long sword was quickly pulled back. The next moment, it stabbed in at an angle, straight towards Shen Shuyi's face.
Shen Shuyi dodged sideways, and the long knife cut off a strand of her hair.
"Miss!" Jinzhu grabbed Shen Shuyi's arm tightly, extremely anxious.
"It's okay." Shen Shuyi didn't say much. His nerves were tense and he was always paying attention to the long knives stabbing in from all around.
'call out! ’
At this moment, a sharp arrow came through the air, pierced through the car board and went straight to Yuping's shoulder.
Qin Xin raised her hand to block it, but she was still a step too late. Shen Shuyi was closer and pushed Yuping away without hesitation.
The long arrow penetrated into the girl's shoulder, and instantly a bright red blood stain spread out.
"Miss..." Yuping's eyes were bloodshot, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked with sobs.
"Shh." Shen Shuyi endured the pain in his shoulder, his eyes gloomy.
The other party has an expert who might be able to determine the location by sound.
Shen Shuyi shook his head and whispered, "Hold on a little longer."
The fight between Jiuchou's men and the assassins was hard to resolve. Just as Shen Shuyi expected, it was related to the entire Third Prince's party and even the life and death of the Lu family. Therefore, the men sent by Concubine Rou could be said to be the elite among the elite.
"Hold on tight!" Jiuchou shook off the two assassins, tightened the reins with one hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!"
The carriage sped away in the snowy night. The sky was getting darker and darker. Jiuchou's men held back the assassins. Soon, the carriage left the group of assassins behind.
But obviously, since Xiao Heyu failed last time, Concubine Rou was better prepared this time.
As soon as the carriage turned a corner, another wave of killers came towards them.
At this moment, in a restaurant not far away, brothers Lu Xiao, who was nearly fifty years old, and Lu He, who was slightly younger, gathered together and were chatting at night.
Lu Xiao has a dark complexion and a tall and sturdy build. Now that he is old, he has a thick stubble and looks like a man with an oppressive air.
Lu Xiao stood in front of the window, staring at the assassination on the street from afar, then turned around and sat back at the table: "Your Majesty, sending so many experts to deal with a young girl is really making a fuss."
Lu He looked like an official dressed in a brocade robe, with a fair face and no beard, looking elegant and refined.
"Brother, don't underestimate this girl. The Third Prince has fallen into her hands before. And you also saw it at the court banquet. The Princess of Changning was both calm and skillful, and she didn't suffer any loss at all."
Lu Xiao nodded: "The most important thing is what she has in her hand. The Chai family's backstabbing this time really surprised me."
Lu He shook his head: "It can't be considered as a backstab by the Chai family. It can only be said that Concubine Li's brain is not quick enough. In addition, Chai Bin got into trouble, and His Majesty thoroughly investigated the affairs in Jiangnan, which made Concubine Li lose her composure."
Lu Xiao nodded: "Indeed, if not for this, the Chai family and my Lu family have a close relationship, how could they do such a stupid thing."
"But no matter what, we have to prepare for a rainy day."
"Don't worry, Princess Changning will die tonight!" Lu Xiao's eyes were scorching and filled with intimidating aura.
*
The other wave of killers coming towards them was obviously more powerful than the previous one.
The group of assassins in front were obviously meant to consume them. Shen Shuyi had to admit that she should probably feel happy.
After all, this at least shows that Concubine Rou, Xiao Heyu, finally took her seriously.
Jiuchou tightened the reins, the horses lifted their front hooves with force, and the group changed direction with the carriage.
But the other party was well prepared, and when the carriage turned around, its speed slowed down a lot.
At once, several arrows were shot out. Naturally, the horse was not as agile as a human, and before it could run too far, it knelt on its knees and fell down.
"careful!"
Arrows came like mushrooms after a rain, giving people no chance to breathe, and were shot at the carriage one after another.
Qinxin and Jianpo jumped out of the car first, and Jiuchou took two trusted men to guard the car to intercept the arrows.
Yuping sat in the car, holding Shen Shuyi's arm and sobbing: "Miss, just listen to me! I'll change your clothes and put on your hat, you..."
Shen Shuyi placed his hand on the back of Yuping's hand, and looked directly at her with his almond-shaped eyes: "Don't be afraid, it's not that bad yet."
Yu Ping seemed to want to say something, but Shen Shuyi patted her gently and said, "Be obedient."
Yuping's lips were dry, and she looked at Shen Shuyi in silence.
The next moment, Shen Shuyi lifted the curtain, and with the help of Jiuchou, he jumped off the carriage and turned to run towards the alley on the other side.
Jiuchou, Qinxin and Jianpo protected her in the middle, dealing with the assassins while retreating.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were calm, without any panic. His clear pupils looked like a wild beast waiting for an opportunity in the night.
It's not like she hadn't thought about getting another carriage to confuse the view and let someone else replace her.
It's not that she didn't think that if a maid pretended to be her, she would have a better chance of survival and success.
But maybe she is just like this sometimes. She would rather die honorably than catch others to block her.
What’s more, my destiny is in my own hands!
She didn't believe that she would die like this!
The men walked faster and faster, and the assassin was getting closer and closer. Just as they were leaving the alley, a tall and thin figure holding a long knife blocked their way.
The man was in his early thirties, and his face could not be seen clearly because he was wearing a black scarf, but there was a red birthmark on the hand holding the knife, so Shen Shuyi recognized him - Ge Tingxuan!
Ge Tingxuan's father, like Chai Zhi, was also a trusted deputy general under Jiang Yanhu. However, since the Ge family returned to Beijing, they have been keeping a low profile and have no dealings with the Chai family. It seems that they are not successful.
And this Ge Tingxuan was the son of his father's concubine. He was captured and taken to the enemy country because of the war. Later, because he was a martial arts genius, he was valued by a general of the enemy country. The general wanted to train him because of his young age, but Ge Tingxuan took advantage of the chaos to escape back.
However, after escaping back to Daqian, he did not return to the Ge family, but was sent to work under Lu Xiao.
Shen Shuyi recognized him because the birthmark on his hand was too eye-catching. In his previous life, after Xiao Heyu was defeated, this man disappeared. Later, he was recruited under Xiao Tingshan and became a master who was no less powerful than Wenren Zong.
