It took seven days to walk from Changyuan to Dongjun and three days to ride a horse. However, Xu Shu arrived at Dongjun on the second day! Looking at Dongjun City in the distance, which was as calm as usual, Xu Shu let out a long sigh of relief.
, two days and two nights of traveling, Xu Shu's physical strength was a little exhausted, but Xu Shu still managed to cheer up and said to the dozen or so exhausted soldiers behind him: "Hold on a little longer! We are already here!"
"Here!" My master said so. Naturally, these soldiers couldn't say no, they immediately cheered up, shouted in response, followed Xu Shu and rode towards Dongjun Chengcheng in front of them.
Rush to the door.
Soon, a group of more than ten people arrived at the city gate. It was already evening, and many people were rushing in and out of the city. The city gate seemed very crowded. Xu Shu and others wanted to enter the city quickly, but the road ahead
But they were blocked by the people, and there was no way to go in. Xu Shu frowned, and a soldier behind him immediately shouted at the people: "You! Get out of the way quickly! My lord is going over.
!”
If it were normal times, the people would have been frightened and retreated to both sides if the soldiers had said something like this. But now the entire city gate is in a commotion. It seems that the people are also worried that they will not be able to enter or exit the city after the curfew. Then
The crowd became more and more chaotic, and the shouts of the soldiers were soon drowned in the shouts of the common people!
Xu Shu frowned. He was now focused on rushing to the city to meet Cao Ang. In normal times, Xu Shu would not have done anything to these people, but in this emergency, Xu Shu could no longer care so much. Immediately
Xu Shu had a gloomy face and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Open the way! Rush over!"
"Here!" These soldiers have been following Xu Shu for many years, and naturally they know Xu Shu's temperament very well. Without Xu Shu's order, they would not dare to attack the people! But now that Xu Shu has given the order, they will not hesitate any longer, and they will do it immediately
Three or four soldiers rushed out, stepped forward on horseback, pulled out the saber from his waist, raised the shining single sword and shouted: "Get out of my way! Otherwise, you can taste the taste of this blade!"
"
Not to mention, when the soldiers flashed their swords, they immediately silenced the people around them. After all, for the people of this era, soldiers were still very intimidating! The people around the soldiers were silent.
A chain reaction started immediately. The entire city gate fell silent. The people all stared in horror at the soldiers and the single swords in their hands. Under the setting sun, the blades still shone with a cold light. It was obvious that
The common people couldn't help but shudder!
Seeing that the people were suppressed by him, the soldiers were a little proud. One of them immediately shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what I just said? Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"After saying that, the soldier may have been a little too excited. He simply waved his single sword in his hand and made a few feints to the left and right, hoping to intimidate the people on the left and right.
"Oops!" Suddenly a scream sounded out, but a civilian on the right side of the soldier was actually scratched by the sword wielded by the soldier. The civilian just covered his bleeding arm and fell down.
He fell to the ground and kept screaming!
Now the soldier was dumbfounded. How could they not know what his master was like? He did not mean to hurt the people just now, but he didn't expect that he still hurt people! The soldier could almost foresee his own family.
Your Excellency will definitely punish you severely! Thinking of this, the soldier immediately shuddered and did not dare to look back at Xu Shu's face behind him!
"Soldiers have killed people! Soldiers have killed people!" At this moment, an angry shout suddenly sounded from the people, which immediately aroused the indignation of the people who were watching in shock! Although it is a troubled time now.
, but these people also live in Dongjun after all, and they usually see these high-ranking officials and generals a lot. They are not really as timid and fearful as the people in other small places! Now I see that the other party dares to hurt people for no reason, plus
The roars of anger rang out, and the people immediately started shouting too! It seemed that the single swords in the hands of the soldiers were not so scary anymore, and they all rushed towards Xu Shu and others!
Xu Shu, who was behind the soldier, frowned tightly. When the soldier hurt someone before, Xu Shu was indeed very angry. After all, he was born in a poor family and did not develop the bad habits of those children from aristocratic families. He was also quite kind to the common people.
Feeling. But before Xu Shu could tell the punishment for the wounded soldier, there was such a change at the gate of the city, which made Xu Shu seem to have noticed something! Although he hadn't figured it out yet, Xu Shu immediately issued the order.
, shouted: "Everyone! Put away the blade! Don't hurt anyone anymore!"
Originally, this matter was caused by the fault of these own soldiers. If this hurt other people, it would not only hurt Cao Wei's people, but also violate Xu Shu's code of conduct! Those soldiers naturally did not dare to hear Xu Shu's words.
In defiance, they put away their single swords one by one, and just controlled their horses to retreat, tightening the encirclement to ensure that the common people would not rush into Xu Shu.
Perhaps because they saw that the soldiers did not fight back, the common people became more and more bold. They all pressed towards Xu Shu, shouting angrily that they would severely punish the murderer. In the blink of an eye, Xu Shu and others were surrounded.
Get up! But after all, the opponent is a soldier, and the one in the middle is more like a high-ranking official. These people don't dare to be too presumptuous, so they just surround him like this and don't dare to take action easily!
Looking at the people who surrounded him, Xu Shu frowned more and more. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the city gate. There were many soldiers guarding the city there. But those soldiers were not aware of what happened at the city gate.
It was as if he couldn't see or hear anything, and he still stood there upright, motionless, with no intention of coming forward to rescue him!
"There's a problem!" Xu Shu had been a ranger for a period of time back then, and he was particularly sensitive to danger! Immediately afterwards, Xu Shu felt a tingling sensation coming from the top of his head, as if being pricked by a needle.
He suddenly raised his head and saw a cold light flashing across the female wall of the city above his head! Xu Shu's eyes widened and he immediately jumped! And at the same time, that cold light flashed across the city head.
It was immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, flying straight down, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the horse where Xu Shu was just now!
Xu Shu's horse let out a mournful cry, and the sharp arrow passed directly through the horse's back, and finally penetrated deeply into the soil under the horse's body. The feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling, which showed the power of the arrow.
How big! When Xu Shu jumped up behind a soldier next to him, he couldn't help but broke out in a cold sweat. If this arrow hit him, he would definitely be dead!
"There is an assassin!" "Protect your lord!" Seeing Xu Shu jump up, and then Xu Shu's horse was shot and killed, these soldiers reacted immediately, exclaimed, and at the same time pulled out the single sword they had just withdrawn, protecting
He stood next to Xu Shu and looked around him warily.
At this moment, several loud shouts suddenly rang out from the surrounding people, and a dozen black figures suddenly jumped out from the crowd and rushed directly towards Xu Shu's position!
Xu Shu's eyes narrowed. It was obvious that this was a well-planned assassination operation! Now it seems that the chaos just caused by the city gate must have been deliberately caused by the assassin! He could spend so much effort to set up an ambush.
He, the instigator behind the scenes, Xu Shu could guess who it was even with his toes! Immediately Xu Shu narrowed his eyes. It seemed that when he returned to Dongjun this time, he had really frightened these aristocratic families, otherwise
I won't do this!
And while Xu Shu was thinking, the dozen or so masked assassins in costumes had already rushed to the soldiers, with all kinds of Qimen weapons in their hands constantly waving at the soldiers! These soldiers were
The mission of the soldiers is to protect Xu Shu, so their skills are much stronger than those of ordinary Cao Wei soldiers! Moreover, they were originally meant to deal with this kind of situation, so they looked very vulnerable when facing the attacks of these assassins.
Calmly, they all waved their swords to attack!
However, these assassins were obviously not of ordinary skill. Each of them was light in stature, and the weapons in their hands were even more tricky to guard against! Xu Shu had been a ranger for so many years and had a good eye, so he could immediately see that these assassins were carefully prepared.
The trained dead soldiers may not be their opponents just because of these soldiers! Immediately, Xu Shu's eyes flashed coldly, and he put his hand directly on the belt on his abdomen. Then, he saw him leaping up and jumping high.
He jumped high into the air, waved his arm, pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and struck directly at the assassins directly in front of him!
Xu Shu's skill is not weak, even compared to ordinary generals, he is still better! Before Cao Pi's rebellion, it was Xu Shu's good swordsmanship that allowed him to capture Sima Yi and resolve the rebellion! Now we are facing a life and death crisis
, Xu Shu naturally did not hide his secrets. With a wave of the sword in his hand, he killed several assassins in the blink of an eye!
Xu Shu's sudden display of power obviously surprised the assassins. Two of them looked at each other and immediately made a gesture towards the other assassins, then turned around and ran away. The other assassins who were fighting with their own soldiers saw their gestures.
, also fled in all directions at the same time!
Seeing that the assassin ran away so easily, the soldiers couldn't help but be startled. Just as they were about to chase after him, Xu Shu turned his wrist, put the sword back to his waist, and shouted: "Okay! Don't chase the poor enemy!"
Let’s meet the eldest son in the city first!” As the saying goes, a monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. If Xu Shu doesn’t chase him now, it’s because he already knows the details of the other party and doesn’t care about chasing these assassins at all!
