Chapter 36: Difficult brothers and sisters
The imperial carriage evacuated under the protection of the soldiers of the guards and the palace guards, but encountered some obstacles. The road was too narrow and the imperial carriage was too wide. At this time, the road was blocked by the chaos of the palace maids and eunuchs accompanying the ceremonial guards. The imperial carriage was blocked in a low valley and could not move forward or retreat.
When Han Jian and the guards of the East Prince's Mansion were approaching, two black-clothed masked assassins were rushing towards the imperial carriage, and there were only a few panicked palace maids and eunuchs under the imperial carriage. The palace guards were fought by a group of assassins in the same outfit, and they were exhausted.
"Protect the car!"
Han Jian shouted, it was basically useless. The goal of these assassins was very clear, which was to take the emperor's deeds directly, even at the cost of death and injury.
The queen in gorgeous clothes stood on the edge of the imperial carriage, but she was still calm and composed. Seeing that the assassin was about to pounce on the imperial carriage and faced the empress head-on, Han Jian couldn't think of where the queen got so confident.
Han Jian had no time to think about it carefully. He took the lead and pulled out his sword and came to protect the Luang Kai-chang from the side. He slashed the assassin's knife that rushed in front. The assassin was startled and looked at it. The guards of the Eastern Prince's Mansion had surrounded the Luang Kai-chang, and he had no chance to approach.
The assassin had a lot of practical experience. He immediately retreated when he saw this scene, while the other assassin who rushed up was not so smart. He was penetrated by the long swords of two guards of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. After the small crisis passed, the palace guards also killed the assassin and hurriedly surrounded the side of the imperial carriage.
Han Jian looked up at the queen. The queen held the fence of the imperial carriage with her hand, and her eyes were filled with trust, as if she was looking at her lover. The queen was looking at him with a smile, and her smile was very calm, which made Han Jian's body feel creepy goosebumps. Han Jian thought to himself, could the queen be so calm when she knew that I would come out to protect her?
At this time, more than a dozen assassins before the imperial carriage launched another attack. They worked very well. One of the soldiers in ordinary guards was basically killed by one move. The palace guards did not dare to attack forward rashly. They could only gather together, guard the imperial carriage, and wait for reinforcements while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
Han Jian greeted him and asked the guards of the East Prince's Mansion to help him. However, he did not rashly go forward and took risks, but guarded the imperial carriage. Suddenly, a fast horse came quickly from a distance, and the horse's hooves stepped on mud and water. It was not reinforcements, but a masked assassin in black, with a graceful figure that looked like a woman. He rode his horse and bent his bow and arrow, which made Han Jian feel a chilling and oppressive feeling.
This person is skilled in archery and horses. Han Jian knew at a glance that she was a good person who was good at riding and shooting, or had the ability to pass through the Yang in a hundred steps. At this time, the female rider was less than fifty steps away from the emperor's carriage. At this time, the queen was condescending, without avoiding, completely exposing herself. If this arrow is gone, will the queen still have her life?
"Doway!" Han Jian waved his hand to the queen, but the queen was still standing there. When she saw the female rider aiming at her, she stood forward and stood up with a decisive expression of death.
Han Jian was tortured by the queen's demeanor of not changing color. He didn't bother to curse. He pulled the reins hard, and the horse under him hurt and kicked and jumped up in front of him. Han Jian took advantage of this force and stood up directly from the horse, which was exactly the same as the queen who was on a high place.
"Swoosh!" The arrow shot over quickly with the sound of breaking through the air. Han Jian used all his strength to swing his sword and spread it with one sword. The arrow was slashed by him and changed direction, rubbed against Han Jian's cheek and shot on the beams and pillars of the imperial carriage.
After the horse's feet landed on the ground, Han Jian sat firmly on the saddle again, he breathed a sigh of relief. He almost felt that he had walked in the Hall of Hell.
At this time, he looked at the queen again, and the queen was also looking at her, and the queen's eyes were still very determined, but there was a look of pity in this determination.
Han Jian couldn't help but curse in his heart, women who play politics are all crazy people!
The female rider on the opposite side failed to hit, and seemed to be shooting another arrow, which made Han Jian feel that it was beyond the reach. But at this time, a large number of soldiers had already come from all directions. The female rider glared at Han Jian with annoyed eyes, and his eyes seemed to be able to kill people.
She put away her bow and arrow, turned around and retreated. A whistle blew through the air, and then the assassins covered their companions and began to retreat.
Han Jian touched his cheek, which was scratched by a sharp arrow, and it hurt. Han Jian bared his teeth, suddenly waved his whip and whipped the horse's back, and rode his horse to chase the female rider in the direction of the escape.
No matter how young Han Jian is, he is not careful in studying, but he is so obedient that he has to forget to eat and sleep. Now that he is being compared by a woman, he can't swallow this breath and he also feels conquering. He just wants to see what kind of face is hidden under the other person's mask.
Han Jian rode his horse and chased him. The guards of the Eastern Prince's Mansion reacted. Han Jian had already chased him far away. At this time, the troops from all sides were completely focused on the remaining assassins. Only a few people were chasing him, but Han Jian was the one who chased him the most urgently.
The opponent's riding skills were obviously above Han Jian. The more Han Jian chased, he felt that he was falling farther and farther. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Han Jian chased along the dirt road for more than ten miles, and then caught up with the wilderness, and then he had already chased and lost people.
In the heavy rain, Han Jian couldn't even find the way back. He felt very depressed immediately. He rubbed the rain on his face, but his face was still full of water. Han Jian looked up at the ghost weather and spit out a mouthful of rain. He wanted to whistle to the sky to vent his depression, but the most important task at the moment was to find the way back.
"Damn it, don't let me find you, otherwise I'd have to take you..." Han Jian complained, and suddenly lifted his sword and inserted it into the mud, but he quickly pulled it out again.
Because he found that there seemed to be a dazed shadow in the small trees not far away, very much like a man riding a horse.
Han Jian became alert and chased after him for a long time, thinking that he had lost his followers, but he found him? Han Jian drove his horse carefully to go over, but saw the trance shadow approaching, one by one, one by one, and one female rider, but not the one he was chasing just now, but Yang Ronger, who was dressed in military uniform and was covered in rain.
Han Jian immediately stepped forward and looked at Yang Xing'er. At this time, Yang Xing'er looked like a defeated rooster. Although Yang Xing'er had a good figure, she couldn't show the feeling of being bulging in front and back because of her military uniform.
"Why are you?"
"I'm lost after chasing the assassin." Yang Ronger looked impatient when she saw Han Jian. She was still angry about Han Jian's banquet yesterday, "Why are you here?"
"Same!"
Han Jian lifted the reins of the horse and continued, "Find a place to shelter from the rain."
