The sun sets in the west, and the setting sun melts gold.
Li Ru left the palace and took a carriage back home.
Turned two streets and three alleys.
suddenly.
There was a sudden roar of a horse.
Then, the carriage shook violently, and Li Ru, who had closed his eyes to concentrate, suddenly opened his eyes.
The car curtain swayed and lifted a corner.
The cold light passed through the gap and flashed across his eyes.
Dang~~~
There was a crisp explosion.
The coachman leaned slightly and drew his sword to stop the opponent's sword:
"Servant Li, be careful, there is an assassin."
Li Ru seemed to have expected it, his expression was as usual and calm.
He nodded slowly and said simply:
"I understand, be careful."
turn out to be!
The master who secretly protects Li Ru has already disguised himself as Li Ru's coachman and accompanies him every day.
Although more than a month has passed since the last assassination, this person still did not relax and kept his weapons hidden at all times.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The crisp golden sound kept ringing.
Li Ru sat in the carriage and closed his eyes again.
Phew~~~
He let out a long breath.
It seems that he has been waiting for today's assassination for a long time.
At the same time, he began to figure out in his heart who was the murderer who assassinated him.
Just when Li Ru was deep in thought.
suddenly.
A quick voice sounded outside the carriage:
"Quickly, protect Mr. Wen first and kill the traitors."
"Never let an assassin go."
"Kill with me~~"
"..."
It's a good thing that reinforcements are coming.
But Li Ru suddenly opened his eyes.
He opened the curtain and looked outside.
Corpses were lying on the ground one after another, and soldiers in armor rushed over quickly, encircling them with lightning speed, as if they wanted to hunt down all these assassins!
But......
Li Ru felt something was wrong.
The reinforcements arrived too quickly.
It was so fast that it seemed unreal, as if someone had arranged it in advance.
He hurriedly shouted: "General Hu Zhen, where are the reinforcements coming from?"
Hu Zhen galloped over on horseback: "Sir, we came from Ximen. After we heard the news, we immediately came to support. As expected by sir, we have caught the real culprit this time."
"quick!"
However, Li Ru was not surprised at all. Instead, he waved his hand hurriedly and said hastily: "Lead the troops back to the west gate. Someone may want to forcefully break into the city gate. You have fallen into the thieves' plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"ah?"
Hu Zhen's face suddenly changed and she was extremely surprised.
Tune the tiger... away from the mountain?
When he was confused and at a loss.
Whoosh~~
A loud arrow suddenly rose into the sky, right in the direction of the west gate.
Although Hu Zhen didn't know the reason why, she admired Li Ru very much.
He immediately turned his horse around and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Quickly, return to the west gate. There are thieves trying to break into the city gate."
Li Ru heard the sound of arrows and completely understood the conspiracy.
He hurriedly got out of the carriage and told Hu Zhen: "General, don't worry about me. You rush to the west gate now. Maybe you can still make it in time. The real murderer will definitely break open the city gate first and then get out of the city safely."
"Remember!"
Li Ru warned: "You only need to protect the city gate. Don't go out of the city to pursue people at will. Do you understand?"
Hu Zhen nodded quickly: "Okay, I understand."
Li Ru waved his hand: "Let's go!"
Hu Zhenshan called out: "Brothers, follow me back to Ximen."
Drive~~~
Ta! Ta! Ta!
The sound of horse hooves rolled away.
Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief and frowned as he looked at the body lying on the ground.
Most of them wore coarse linen clothes and pretended to be traders traveling in the inner city, but the weapons in their hands were all kinds of, some were long swords, some were simple knives, and some unpopular weapons such as hooks and forks.
Obviously.
These assassins are stragglers, completely different from the last assassins.
Li Ru knew very well that these rangers were being used by others, so he was too lazy to waste time on them.
He immediately got back into the carriage and ordered:
"Let's go to Ximen."
now.
Luoyang West Gate.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The golden sound exploded, and the sparks burst out.
The city gate defenders, who were wearing armor and armor, were fighting against dozens of rangers.
But the opponent was obviously well-trained, and it seemed that in just a moment, nearly a group of soldiers fell down.
If the city gate guard hadn't mobilized his crossbowmen in time to stop the formation, this group of thieves might have breached the city gate.
"Quick, guard it for me, we must not let them leave the city."
"Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow for me!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A dense rain of arrows came.
The thieves who were fighting fiercely blocked and avoided, and the leader of the big bearded man hurriedly ordered: "I will attack from the front, Ah Hao, Ah Hui, you go around and kill the crossbowmen as quickly as possible."
"Here."
The big man with a beard was holding a long sword, and with strange steps on his feet, he faced the Xiliang people's guards and plunged directly in. In an instant, the sword flashed, the cold light filled the sky, and the bright red juice splashed everywhere.
At the same time, the dead soldiers on the left and right sides circled towards the city head and flew up the stairs.
They are well-trained and their shots are as fast as lightning.
Even if someone blocked him along the way, he would be killed in an instant.
After rushing to the top of the city, the two men, one on the left and one on the right, started to clear out the crossbowmen.
In close combat, the combat effectiveness of crossbowmen is far inferior to that of infantry, let alone soldiers who are skilled in assassination.
After they eliminated the crossbowmen at the top of the city, the bearded man below no longer had any scruples and led his dead men to attack the city gate in a frantic manner.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
All the soldiers in the city gate cave were killed.
The big man with the beard immediately ordered:
"Quick, lift up the crossbar and follow me out of the city."
"Here."
All the dead soldiers responded, immediately put away their swords, and used all their strength together.
Chi Leng Leng~~~
The crossbar was slowly lifted.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Just when the inner city crossbar was about to break away from the keyway.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the city.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Then, voices came one after another:
"Thief, where can you escape?"
The big man with the beard looked back and grinned:
"Damn, you came back so fast!"
"Everyone, if you try harder, disperse in all directions after leaving the city."
"Here!"
All the dead soldiers worked hard together.
Gurgling sounds filled the city gate.
Bang!
A crisp sound.
The crossbar fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the city gate slowly opened.
The bearded man looked back and shouted:
"Xiliang thieves, if you have the guts, come after me!"
"Brothers, let's go!"
In an instant, the bearded man disappeared into the city gate.
In the alleyways of the city.
Yuan Ji on the carriage slowly lowered the curtain:
"When the Xiliang thieves leave the city, let's leave immediately without delay."
"Okay, got it."
But......
Yuan Ji waited for a long time but did not see the coachman move.
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you leave?"
The coachman sighed helplessly:
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to leave."
"It's just the Xiliang thieves, none of them have left the city."
Wow~~
Yuan Ji quickly opened the curtain and stared at the city gate.
Sure enough, Hu Zhen led his troops to guard the city gate, and no one came out of the city to pursue him.
"Straight bitch!"
Yuan Ji was so angry that he cursed: "Why didn't Hu Zhen leave the city?"
The coachman asked tentatively: "Sir, what should we do?"
