The middle-aged man seemed not to see an arrow being shot towards him, but was staring at the arrow heading towards the girl. He clenched his fists, feeling more nervous than ever before, but he was too late to rescue her.
Yang Xuan held the girl and fell off the horse, with his back to the arrow. The girl struggled in his arms, raising her head just in front of the flying arrow. This was also the reason why the middle-aged man and the guards were stunned for a moment.
Jin Qiyan looked pale and wanted to stab himself.
Yang Xuan, who was falling, felt his spine numb and his body twisted strangely.
This move stirred up the girl, and her head slammed into Yang Xuan's head, with tears streaming down her face.
The arrow passed by the side of her face.
Call!
A sigh of relief.
Facing the flying arrow, the middle-aged man raised his hand and flicked it with his fingers. Just when the arrow was about to reach his face, he gently flicked the arrow away like water droplets.
The arrows exploded in the air, and the middle-aged man looked calm, "Kill them all!"
Arrows penetrated into the assassin's location from all directions. If there were veterans in the army, they would definitely exclaim that these guards were so skilled in arrows that they could block the assassin's route in an instant.
Jin Qiyan couldn't believe it and cursed: "What the hell! How did that kid do it?"
While cursing, he led his men towards Yang Xuan.
Under the cover of arrow rain, another wave of guards rushed into the dense forest in twos and threes. With their formation and superb coordination, even the elite of the army could only sigh in disbelief.
puff!
The girl fell on her back, and the tears she was holding back finally burst out, "Why do you let me support you!"
Yang Xuan jumped up suddenly, glanced across the dense forest, and said, "I can stop the arrows from coming again."
He was up there blocking the arrow from hitting the girl.
The girl said angrily: "You still won't look back?"
She tilted her head and tears fell.
How embarrassing!
The girl was really angry.
Jin Qiyan rushed over with his men and said nervously: "My dear, are you injured?"
The girl sat on the ground, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face in her knees, and shook her head gently.
The maids surrounded the girl and guarded her on the outer level.
Yang Xuan stood up and prepared to leave.
He walked past a guard and saw the guard raising his hand, feeling puzzled.
The guard behind him slapped his chest hard.
Boom!
He passed the next guard.
The guard beat his chest hard behind him.
Boom!
One by one, the guards beat their chests solemnly...
Watching Yang Xuan walking slowly ahead.
This is the greatest compliment given to a comrade in the military!
Yang Xuan found his horse and stroked it gently.
This was a good horse. Mr. Wang was very generous and gave it to him casually.
Yang Xuan never takes advantage of others in vain. Even if he gets a piece of dry biscuit from others in the mountains, he will find a way to return the favor.
Huang Laoer came, patted his back hard, and said with a smile: "What a good boy, you actually saved the little lady, just drink the good wine later."
After camping in the past few days, the guards took turns drinking. Yang Xuan smelled the aroma of the wine. He had never drunk in his life and was a little moved. But he was just a country boy who was attached to Wang's motorcade. How could he have the nerve to ask for a drink?
. He was embarrassed to speak, but these guards were all human beings, and he had already noticed it.
The middle-aged man discussed matters with his staff, raised his eyes, and nodded gently to Yang Xuan.
I didn't have a niece on this trip, but I couldn't help her being obsessed with my elder brother, so I had to take her with me in the end.
The Wang family's daughter has a respected status, and her niece is deeply loved by her eldest brother and him. She can be called the Wang family's jewel. If something had happened before, he didn't dare to think what would happen to his eldest brother and what would happen to him.
Yang Xuan!
The middle-aged man recited the name silently, and then began to wonder who was the mastermind of the assassination.
Naturally, we couldn't leave anymore today, so everyone started to set up camp.
Yang Xuan disappeared quietly.
"Where's Yang Xuan?"
someone asked.
"The horse is still there, I guess it's for convenience."
Later Jin Qiyan came back to plead guilty.
"Mr. Erlang, the thief was well prepared. He missed a single hit and ran away. We were unable to catch him. He only killed a dozen or so dead soldiers behind him."
Jin Qiyan was a little annoyed and ashamed.
"This is a jungle." The middle-aged man said calmly: "Wang's mines are numerous, and you will have to deal with thieves in the jungle for a long time. You can practice hard."
This is knocking.
Jin Qiyan lowered his head solemnly, "Yes."
The staff beside him smiled and said: "The assassin knows that he cannot kill Erlangjun, but if he can kill the young lady, Dalangjun will definitely be furious. When Dalangjun is angry, there will be a storm in Chang'an City. I don't know who can fish in troubled waters.
.”
The middle-aged man's eyes were deep, "Big brother sent someone here a while ago. Chang'an has been uneasy recently. Someone suggested cutting off 30% of the gate, which caused an undercurrent."
The staff was surprised, "This is the emperor's intention. Does the emperor want to deal with five surnames in the family?"
The middle-aged man nodded and shook his head, "It's the emperor's wish, but the emperor sent someone to the Wang family to deliver the message beforehand. We just watched."
"I think every family with five surnames in Chang'an City has someone from the palace to pass the message." The staff member stroked his beard and smiled.
"It's the people from the mirror, the one-eyed dragon's subordinate." When mentioning the mirror and the one-eyed dragon, the middle-aged man's eyes were a little more wary, but more disdainful. He said slowly: "Don't worry about this matter. It's just halfway.
Someone assassinated...do you really think that I, Wang Douxiang, have a good temper?"
Everyone was in awe.
The middle-aged man Wang Douxiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Send people to the front to spread the word about encirclement and suppression!"
Jin Qiyan responded, "Yes. But Erlangjun, I'm afraid the assassins won't be able to surround you."
The staff member stroked his beard and smiled, "Er Langjun is trying to scare the snake. All you need to do is let people know that someone has assassinated Erlang Jun. There are five surnames in the family... The Wang family controls the mine. If the Wang family gets angry, the Tang Dynasty will also tremble. Behind that
People will panic, but if there is even the slightest clue, even if he is a relative of the emperor, Wang will make him pay the price."
Wang Douxiang said calmly: "Who can kill those assassins if they can still escape from assassinating Wang?"
Invisible anger swept over him.
The guards knelt down and lowered their heads.
Now that the assassins are far away, they will be difficult to capture.
Jin Qiyan was ashamed, "I am incompetent!"
Wang Douxiang waved, "Xian'er."
The girl frowned as she was surrounded by maids. The maids actually all carried horizontal knives.
"Dereliction of duty!" Wang Douxiang turned away with the girl, and his voice came softly, "Punishment!"
After a while, the maids lay on the ground, and the sound of chopping boards echoed in the middle of the camp.
…
In a dense forest seven miles away from here, three people were sitting on the ground and resting.
The leading man leaned against the tree trunk, looking up and drinking water.
The water from the water bag spilled from the corner of his mouth. The man drank and shook his head, water droplets splashing everywhere.
Someone came hurriedly, and the three of them stood up to be on guard.
The visitor, dressed in black, approached and said, "Wang's pursuers have returned."
The leader took off his mask and said with a smile: "The Wang family is nothing more than that, hahahaha!"
The hearty laughter startled the nearby birds.
The four of them sat down, ate dry food, and talked in low voices, but they didn't see a young man standing quietly behind the big tree not far away.
We set out on the road later, with one person exploring the path, one blocking the way, and the other two walking in the middle.
Yang Xuan followed closely behind.
The man behind him turned around to look behind him from time to time. After walking a mile away, his expression became much more relaxed and the frequency of looking back became less frequent.
The two people in the middle were talking, and their voices gradually became louder.
"Wang's guards are very powerful, but this is a jungle..."
The man behind the break smiled and looked back. His whole body was instantly cold, as if even his bone marrow had been frozen.
A young man stood behind him, grinning.
The young man stretched out his hand.
There were many calluses on the small hand. This hand pinched the man's throat and exerted force.
The two people in the middle were walking in tandem.
Someone behind him was laughing, "If Wang's people dare to follow us, they will be rewarded by killing a few of them."
A hand was put on his shoulder.
Legend has it that wild wolves like to follow pedestrians. Suddenly the person stands up and puts his paws on the pedestrian's shoulders, and the pedestrian naturally turns around...
A slight sound came.
The leader in front is still talking.
"We have been practicing in the jungle for many years, who is the opponent?"
No one answered behind him, so the leader subconsciously pounced forward, and at the same time completed the action of drawing his sword, turning around and swinging it.
The figure behind him flashed and then disappeared into the dense forest.
The explorer roared angrily: "It's the boy who works in Wang's motorcade!"
They have been watching the convoy for several days and know the situation inside the convoy very well.
"It was he who saved Wang's daughter!"
The leader stood still and shouted: "Zhao Xie!"
The sound echoed in the dense forest.
But the people are gone.
"That boy, he must be Wang's new master!" The leader said with awe in his heart, "Let's go!"
The two of them took turns covering the front.
When he reached a big tree, the man exploring the path suddenly flew upside down.
The leader jumped up, turned his eyes in mid-air, and swung his knife to cut off the rattan around the ankle of the man exploring the path.
Woo...
Amidst the whistling sound, a sharpened wooden stick flew over and inserted into the chest of the man exploring the path. The tail of the wooden stick was still swinging tremblingly.
The leader waved his sword, but no second stick came flying towards him.
After he landed, he shouted: "Come out!"
In the dense forest, the birds do not sing and the animals do not cry.
Squeak!
The man exploring the path was hung upside down from the tree, swinging gently back and forth.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Blood dripped from his chest.
The leader was covered in cold sweat and turned around suddenly, but there was no one behind him.
"who?"
he hissed.
The shout echoed in the dense forest.
A voice responded.
"I just want to go to Chang'an."
The voice is very young.
The leader roared, "Come out and I'll fight you."
Suddenly the hairs on his back stood on end, and he suddenly turned around and brandished the knife.
But severe pain came from the lower back.
His turn went into slow motion.
A young man with colorful face paint stood behind him, "I'm out."
