His purpose was to kill Princess Changning, firstly, to silence her, so that no one would know the truth about the false emperor's usurpation of the throne, and secondly, to avoid future troubles, so that no one would use Princess Changning's name to rebel.
At present, the guards of the Governor's Mansion are being dragged at the front door, Yan Ling is blocked by Jiang Yue, and the courtyard is full of women, so the difficulty of the task is greatly reduced.
The only threat was Xu Yin. Knowing that she was the one who killed Yu Chong, the master was almost doomed by this incident. General Hu really did not dare to underestimate her.
Therefore, the short crossbow in his hand was always aimed at Xu Yin. As long as Xu Yin was controlled, the women in this courtyard were not a concern.
Seeing Xu Yin being pulled back by the maid, with an expression full of unwillingness, and the hands hidden in his sleeves moving slightly, General Hu was on full alert and winked at his subordinates.
So, the maids guarded their master and retreated slowly, and they advanced slowly.
They gradually retreated to both sides, and General Hu said: "Princess, I have kept my promise, can you come out now?"
"They all backed away?"
"Yes. Princess, don't waste time, or I'll shoot them first!"
"I know." Princess Changning's voice was full of helplessness. She lowered her head, her steps were a little stiff, and the figure on the door slowly approached.
The figure stopped at the door: "Guiwei Hu."
General Hu was displeased: "I told you not to waste time!"
"I have a last word, please help me convey it to the emperor."
General Hu patiently said: "Say!"
Princess Changning cried with tears in her eyes: "After I die, I hope he can bury me in the mausoleum, so that our family can be reunited under Jiuquan."
An innocent and ignorant little princess suddenly encountered earth-shaking changes. It is reasonable to have this wish before she died. General Hu nodded: "Okay."
"Then...I'm going out." Princess Changning said desperately, her shadow finally sticking to the door.
At this moment, almost everyone's attention is on her, and everyone's heart is at the highest point——
"Squeak!" The door opened.
Following the sound, the sword rushed towards the figure behind the door.
At the same time, Xu Yin's cuffs moved.
General Hu, who had been staring at her closely, immediately raised his short crossbow.
"Seize! Seize!" A series of short arrows forced Xu Yin to dodge, unable to fight back.
General Hu concentrated on dealing with her. As soon as his short arrow shot missed, he immediately drew his sword and rushed over.
As long as Xu San is held back, this errand can be accomplished!
But before he could rush in, the surprised voices of his subordinates rang in his ears: "General, you are fake!"
What?
General Hu was startled and turned around to look, his eyes suddenly widening.
There is no Princess Changning, she is a puppet!
Wearing a shirt and skirt, and a hairband and hairpin on its head, it looks exactly like a real person.
Fell into a trap!
General Hu suddenly turned his head, saw the corner of Xu Yin's mouth raised, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Do it!"
"Yes!" crisp female voices echoed in unison. In the blink of an eye, those delicate, panicked maids and maids suddenly lifted up their shawls, threw away the lanterns in their hands, and pulled out - even more delicate than his hand.
Small crossbow!
"Boohoo!" The crossbow fired quickly!
They had just retreated to both sides, forming an encirclement, and General Hu and others were completely exposed to the arrows!
After a round of arrow rain, screams rang out one after another, and the ground fell.
General Hu swung his sword and shot down most of them. In the end, he failed to defend them all and was hit by an arrow in the thigh. At first, he held on, but when another arrow came and penetrated his knee, he had to kneel down.
Go down.
"ah!"
A small crossbow can carry very few arrows, and it will be empty after just one round.
But it was enough. Several of the attackers died, and all of the survivors were injured.
The maid held up the chair that had been kicked away, and the three Xu sisters sat down again.
A little girl walked out of the small building carrying a puppet that had been chopped off with arms and legs missing. She smiled and asked for credit: "Miss, can I imitate the princess's voice?"
Who is this if not Xiao Sang?
Xu Yin nodded with a smile: "Yes! I will remember you today!"
Princess Changning is not here!
General Hu's heart was cold, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Xu Yin: "You..."
"What about me?" Xu Yin leaned on his elbows and looked at him with a half-smile, "You are the bodyguard of the false emperor. You know that I killed Yu Chong under the guard of the Forbidden Army and escaped unscathed. You actually think you can plot against me in this way.
Isn’t that stupid?”
General Hu had nothing to say.
Princess Changning was not here, his men were dead and injured, and the mission was a complete failure.
Also, this is a trap, that next door...
Receiving his gaze, Xu Yin said lightly: "Are you worried about Jiang Yue? Of course he is finished too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "plop" sound, and something was thrown from the other side of the wall and fell right in front of General Hu.
General Hu took a closer look and felt even colder.
Jiang Yue! The person who was thrown over like a sack is Jiang Yue!
He could no longer move, and his body was covered with wounds of all sizes.
Later, someone climbed up the wall and said in surprise: "You've finished it? Isn't that too fast?"
Of course this person is Yan Ling.
He turned over and jumped into the small garden here.
"You're pretty fast too." Xu Yin asked, "Have everyone been arrested?"
"What are you catching? Kill them all." Yan Ling waved his hand and said, "Those people are all dead soldiers. You can't ask any questions."
Xu Yin nodded. The words of a dead soldier are of no value. If you want to survive, you have to be careful about being plotted by them.
While they were talking, Chu Jiu and Zhao Liu came over surrounded by guards.
Both of them remained calm on their faces, but the sweat on their foreheads and pale faces showed how dangerous they had just been.
Yan Ling said that when they were invited to watch a play, they thought they could just sit and watch. Who knew it would be so exciting later on.
My God, although they claim to be proficient in the six arts and know a little bit about riding and shooting, they are only for physical fitness, not for killing people!
A noble-born young master with a graceful and elegant demeanor, who would kill someone himself? Even if he leads an army, he must be in charge of the central army, right?
Thinking like this, his eyes glanced at Yan Ling.
This guy doesn't count.
"Ninth Young Master of Chu, Sixth Young Master of Zhao." The three Xu sisters stood up and saluted.
The two of them returned the gift, and seeing that they had no intention of avoiding it, they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts.
The women of the Xu family can manage and kill, so why should we avoid them?
"You two are frightened." Xu Si apologized on behalf of his family and glanced at their blood-stained clothes, "Come here, ask Doctor Huang to come and take a look at the two young masters."
Chu Jiu said hurriedly: "Miss Xu is not busy, and we have not been injured."
"Yeah?"
"Really, this is all their blood." Zhao Liu quickly clarified.
Seeing Yan Ling agreeing, Xu Si calmed down and said, "It's good that the two of you are not hurt. You are distinguished guests of the Governor's Mansion. If something happens in Nanyuan, our Xu family cannot afford it."
Something happened in Nanyuan...
The two of them thought about this sentence for a while, and their faces became heavy.
Jiang Yue wanted to kill them because he wanted to instigate the Hexing Prince's Palace and the Zhao family to become enemies of the Xu family!
