In the quiet alley, a long knife cut through the air and penetrated deeply into the gray wall. The light reflected from the blade fell into the eyes of the two young men standing nearby.
Before they could recover from the shock, several figures fell from the eaves of the houses on both sides. They were covered in black, with murderous intent in their exposed eyes. They held swords in their hands and without any hesitation, they quickly moved towards the target.
Attack.
Tang Ji didn't have time to think too much. He dragged Li Yu, who was still in a daze, and ran into the alleyway beside him. He didn't forget to shout for help: "Help, help!"
The killer in black never gave them a chance to call for help, and surrounded the two of them with lightning speed.
Tang Ji and Li Yu stood back to back, gritted their teeth, and said angrily: "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
But the assassins in black didn't take him seriously, and their eyes were completely focused on the other person.
Li Yu soon realized that these people were coming for him, he sneered and said coldly: "Who is this time? The First Emperor Brother or the Third Emperor Brother?"
The leading man in black wiped the long knife he pulled out from the gray wall, and smiled evilly: "Even if Your Highness King You knows, it will be of no use, so you'd better get on your way quickly. The villain will strike faster and it won't hurt too much.
"
King You? Your Highness?
Tang Ji turned his head mechanically, unable to believe that the middle school boy next to him was actually a prince!
The killers raised their knives and pressed towards the two of them step by step.
Li Yu suddenly raised his hand and said: "It's me you want to kill, it has nothing to do with him, just let him go."
"His Royal Highness You Wang is kind!" The man in black lowered his brows, his expression relaxed, and he took a small step to the side to give Tang Ji a way out.
Li Yu took a deep breath and smiled at Tang Ji: "I am very happy to be friends with you. If there is an afterlife, I would also like to have barbecue and listen to the story of "Water Margin"."
Tang Ji didn't reply and quickly passed by the assassin, not forgetting to add: "Brother, I've long disliked this kid. Don't let him die too happily."
The man in black had a cold light in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Get out of here before I regret it."
"Yes, yes, I'll leave now." Tang Ji glanced at Li Yu, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly ran away to the other side of the alley.
After Tang Ji left, the man in black looked at Li Yu and mocked: "Your Highness, you saved his life, but he asked me not to spare you. Is it worth it?"
Li Yu's eyes gradually dimmed, he sighed, and said sadly: "He was just implicated by me."
The man in black chuckled, wasting no more time, and slowly approached with a long knife. The tip of the knife rubbed against the ground and produced streaks of fire, and the sound was clear and audible.
But as soon as he took two steps, a foot came from behind him from under his crotch and kicked him directly at the root of his thigh, causing him to reach out his hand to cover his baby in pain.
Tang Ji gave the man in black another kick and knocked him to the ground. He caught the assassins' stunned eyes and rushed over, dragging Li Yu towards the nearest alley.
The man in black relaxed, stared at the backs of the two men, and said angrily: "Get that kid back, I'm going to skin him!"
"Yes!" The assassins finally came to their senses, jumped onto the wall, and chased after the two of them.
In the alley, Li Yu's deep eyes sparkled again. He turned his head and glanced, and found that the other party had already chased him. He said helplessly: "I let you go, why are you coming back?"
Tang Ji's breathing was a little tight. He licked his chapped lips and replied: "Don't talk nonsense. I have observed the terrain. If you run along this road, you will find the street at the end. I don't believe those guys dare to commit murder on the street."
Li Yu didn't reply, but he knew that if the other party was really the emperor's brother, he would definitely chase him out.
Unexpectedly, the two of them ran all the way to the end of the alley and realized that it was a dead end.
Li Yu was about to cry but had no tears, so he murmured: "It's really over now."
Tang Ji didn't know what to say for a moment, so he stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall blocking the road twice. He had already surveyed everything, so why did the road next door lead to the street, but this side turned into a dead end?
At this moment, the assassins had already caught up and surrounded the two of them.
The man in black followed closely, glaring at Tang Ji angrily: "Boy, you should keep running!"
Li Yu quickly protected Tang Ji behind him and said in a deep voice: "Let him go, I will let you do whatever you want."
The man in black obviously lost his patience, waved to his men, and sneered: "Since you have such a good relationship, let's be our companions on the road to Huangquan!"
The assassins received the order and attacked the two men.
A long sword quickly slashed at Li Yu. Tang Ji quickly pushed him away, then kicked the opponent's arm, and quickly crouched down to avoid the blow coming towards him.
For more than a month, Tang Ji has been learning martial arts from Jiu'er and has a little bit of foundation.
However, the assassins were all professional killers, so they could easily deal with his three-legged cat skills. They scratched Tang Ji's arm with a knife in two or three strokes and kicked him to the ground.
Tang Ji covered his arm in pain, and blood was already oozing from the scratched area.
Seeing this, Li Yu hurriedly protected him, hugged the calves of the two assassins, and shouted: "Come to me if you need anything!"
Tang Ji was a little speechless. He could still hold on huddled in the corner for half a minute. Wouldn't rushing out mean giving away his life?
If I had known this guy was so stupid, I should have just left...
The two assassins glanced down at Li Yu, raised the corners of their mouths covered by black cloth slightly, raised their knives and stabbed each other in the back.
Li Yu felt that his life was in danger and closed his eyes suddenly.
"Ah~"
But the next second, he realized that he was still alive, but the two assassins had disappeared. Looking up, he saw that the two men had fallen under the high wall in the distance, with two long swords beside them.
Tang Ji witnessed the scene just now. The old man suddenly appeared with a slender wooden stick and struck the two sword-wielding assassins from behind. The two were directly knocked away, making his tense body immediately relax.
He smiled and said: "Senior Sun."
Sun Yufu nodded slightly, picked up Li Yu and threw it to Tang Ji, protecting the two of them behind him.
Seeing the martial arts of the one-eyed old man in front of him, the man in black became nervous and said: "Senior, this is the private matter of the juniors. I hope you will not interfere."
"Private matters? Then why are you dressed like this in broad daylight?" Sun Yufu took off the gourd hanging from his waist, took off the stopper, took two sips of wine, and smacked his lips with satisfaction.
The man in black's eyes became sly and continued: "Senior, it's better to leave quickly. Listen to this junior's advice, my master is not someone you can mess with!"
"Noisy!" Seeing that Tang Ji was injured, Sun Yufu did not intend to tangle with these assassins anymore. He hung the wine gourd back on his waist and walked forward slowly with the wooden stick in hand.
Two assassins looked at each other and wanted to attack from both sides, but Sun Yufu was faster and dodged the attack while repelling the two.
The man in black saw that the opponent's strength was unpredictable. He clenched his fists and glanced at Li Yu. He gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"
Immediately, led by the man in black, the assassins in the alley dispersed in all directions.
Li Yu exhaled a breath of turbidity. He didn't expect that he could escape death today. It seemed that he would really have to let Song Xiao follow him every step of the way. He was about to raise his hand to thank Sun Yufu, but found that Tang Ji fell to the ground next to him.
"Tang Ji!"
Hearing the sound, Sun Yufu squatted down and looked at Tang Ji's purple wound, felt his pulse twice more, and sighed: "This arm is useless. If it is not cut off, it may endanger his life."
After saying that, he pulled out the dagger from his waist, stared closely at Tang Ji's shoulder, raised the knife and dropped it...
