Horses neigh and people roar.

Blood is everywhere and swords are clashing.

Wu Huaiyu quickly lay down in the carriage. He did not expect that he would be attacked in Lingzhou City. As soon as he came out of the Governor's Mansion, someone ambushed him halfway.

Wu Huaiyu, who was lying in the carriage, had to wonder whether this matter had something to do with Li Daozong.

"Shijun, are you okay?" Chen Sheng called outside.

Huaiyu looked at the crossbow arrows fired from the carriage, but luckily he avoided them in time.

"I'm fine, just be careful."

After Wu Huaiyu finished speaking, he kicked open the carriage door and jumped out of the carriage. The carriage had a bigger target at the moment, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on outside even if he was hiding inside.

The driver who was driving the carriage had already been hit by several arrows and fell there.

The horses pulling the cart were hit by arrows and fell to their knees.

He quickly scanned the surroundings and found that there were many intruders, and judging from their appearance, with broad faces and big eyes, and large gold rings on their ears, they were obviously mountain beards.

Upon closer inspection, we found that there were many people with braided hair behind these mountain beards, who must be Turks.

The mountain beards, wearing fur coats and fur robes, strode forward with copper hammers and iron whips, while the Turks wearing leather armor were behind with bows and crossbows.

A strong man with a barbarian roared and swung a huge hammer and threw it away. Huaiyu rolled quickly, and the next moment, his carriage was hit.

The carriage was hit and half of the carriage disintegrated into pieces.

One of the soldiers was stabbed in the neck by flying debris and fell to the ground, with blood gushing out from his mouth and nose. Seeing that he was hopeless, Wu Huaiyu quickly picked up his shield and knife without caring about anything else.

Jihu, the Turks have already rushed forward.

On the contrary, the Dou slaves were at the front and were the first to fight with them in close quarters. These Dou slaves had no weapons, but they were still fierce.

Wu Huaiyu did not retreat.

Carrying swords and shields, shouting orders, fighting in groups of three or three, and at the same time asking people to break through to report news and ask for help.

This is inside Lingzhou City. As long as we can hold on for a while, reinforcements will arrive.

Several injured maids fled in panic.

Chen Sheng shouted at them, "Get out of the way."

But they were like frightened sheep, rushing into them regardless, as if they could find some sense of security in this way.

A maidservant's white dress was stained red with blood. I didn't know whether it was someone else's blood or her own blood. She ran over with a look of horror on her face. When she was about to pass by Wu Huaiyu,

A sudden change.

The frightened woman suddenly slipped out a short knife from her sleeve, and then rushed towards Huaiyu with gritted teeth. She didn't look frightened and helpless at all. Her flying movements were very vigorous, and she was obviously skilled in martial arts.

"Dog Officer, take your life!"

Huaiyu raised his shield and sword.

Chen Sheng swooped over from the side and knocked the woman away. Huaiyu followed up with a shield collision. The woman was hit twice in succession and fell heavily to the ground.

But she rolled over, got up again, and rushed towards Huaiyu again with the short knife in hand.

"Dog officer."

There was a sandstorm in the city, and the sky was filled with wind and sand. The sun in the sky was covered by the wind and sand, making it gray and dark. The woman looked forward to death, her mouth was bleeding, her white dress was stained with blood, but she still rushed towards her with a knife.

Huaiyu swung the horizontal knife.

Is this woman one of the maids given to him by Li Daozong, or did she sneak in temporarily? He couldn't figure it out for a while. This woman was very tall and young, and even looked a little weak in appearance. He couldn't even tell whether she was a Jihu or a Han woman.

Who would have thought that this woman is also an assassin.

Huaiyu looked at her coldly.

"I have no grudge against you, so why did you assassinate me?"

"You all deserve to die!" the woman shouted coldly, shouting and rushing.

But Wu Huaiyu would not give him another chance.

The woman rushed closer, Huaiyu struck her with a shield, blocked her with all his strength, and then cut her with a few more swords until she was unstable. He took the opportunity and kicked her down. Before she could get up, Huaiyu directly knocked her down.

The knife was held to her neck.

But he didn't kill her.

He wanted to know who they were and why they wanted to assassinate him.

Is there someone behind this?

Chen Sheng tied up the woman with a cowhide rope, and the woman kept cursing.

Fighting continues in the streets.

Those assassins are very fierce.

Wu Huaiyu's soldiers are also very elite. The streets are narrow and surrounded by walls on both sides. Both sides fight in close combat. Wu Huaiyu has more people on his side.

They fought fiercely for a long time, and many people fell down.

The assassins were very anxious.

If they can't succeed, the longer they delay, the worse it will be for them.

Sure enough, soon the footsteps of the brigade were heard, and Wu Junwei had arrived with a team of troops from Yanzhou Yamen, "Erlang, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Wu Huaiyu stepped on the female assassin and was not hurt at all.

"We have sent people outside the city to ask Su Sima to lead troops into the city,"

Although Wu Junwei brought not many people, they were all armored warriors. They fired a volley of bows and crossbows as soon as they arrived, and then they lined up to kill with shields and spears. The fierce assassins only had some leather armor.

He was also holding a sword, a mace, a bow and a crossbow, and he was already exhausted. He would be killed by another charge and would immediately die.

The assassin leader roared, and they began to retreat.

Wu Junwei asked Chen Sheng to stay with his original people and continue to protect Wu Huaiyu, while he led his people to pursue him.

"Stop chasing!"

Wu Huaiyu stopped.

"They can't escape," Wu Junwei said.

"This is Lingzhou City. These assassins should be handed over to the Lingzhou Governor's Office for arrest."

Wu Huaiyu didn't want to be passive here. If it would be more dangerous if he was transferred away from the mountain again, he would not go back to the Yanzhou Yamen in the city. He would directly escort some of the captured assassins, injured subordinates, and those who died in the battle.

The corpse went directly to the military camp outside the city.

Since it is suspected that Li Daozong may be involved, this place is no longer safe.

Even if Li Daozong is unlikely to take action openly, a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, and a gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall.

Get out of town quickly.

Wu Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief after entering the Yanzhou Army Camp.

Today's inexplicable attack made him understand more and more that the water in Shuofang was very deep and dangerous.

Hearing that there was an attack on the governor's city, Su Lieniu in the camp was very angry when he saw Wu and others, and came to ask questions one after another.

Huaiyu sent someone to the Governor's Mansion to inform Li Daozong.

The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, now we have to be more careful every step we take.

He thought silently, saying that he had basically agreed to cooperate with Li Daozong in the Governor's Mansion, and even accepted the three thousand acres of land he gave, as well as the slaves, maids, etc., although he had not yet discussed the details of the cooperation.

The distribution of benefits has not been discussed in detail, but normally, Li Daozong has no reason to attack him again.

But when he was attacked in Lingzhou City, he had just come out of the Governor's Mansion. He knew the time so well and even positioned the ambush so well. It was impossible to say that it didn't matter.

This made him confused.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to be careful and see what Li Daozong said first.

Wu Huaiyu went to interrogate the female assassin.

The woman was tied up with many kinds of cowhide ropes, and her tall body was tightened to become tighter and more attractive.

Even though her dress was stained with blood, it still couldn't hide the beauty of this woman.

"Who are you and why did you assassinate me?"

The woman looked down upon Wu Huaiyu and said, "If you want to kill him or chop him into pieces, don't talk nonsense."

"If you want to kill me, you have to give me a reason. I'm new here and I don't think I've offended anyone yet."

"I am Shanhu and you are Han. Isn't this enough?"

"I heard that Jihu was originally a remnant of the Xiongnu. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, they have lived together with the Han people in Shaanxi and Jin Dynasties for hundreds of years. What hatred or grievances do they have?"

"Girl, if you really have any grudges or grievances, why don't you come and listen to them."
