In the carriage, Gao Jin was indeed a little tired. He began to sort out his current thoughts. The current situation in Xuzhou can be said to be the most complicated among the nine states. Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao are all competing for it. Lu Bu's strength alone is the most important.
It is no longer possible to protect Xuzhou. Only by leveraging our own strength can we have a chance of winning.
Yuan Shao is a worthy target. At least for the time being, Yuan Shao has no intention of embezzling Xuzhou. As for Liu Bei...
Gao Jin suddenly remembered Tian Feng's reminder to Liu Kang and Yuan, and couldn't help but keep it in mind. Just as he was in a trance, a burst of wind suddenly sounded in his ears. He quickly became alert, sensing that some kind of danger was approaching.
After breaking through his thoughts, he became extremely sensitive to movements in the outside world.
Suddenly, a thumping sound came out, the curtain of the car window was suddenly cut open, and several arrows shot through the air. Gao Jin had already paid attention to it, and hurriedly avoided the car, and several arrows stabbed the people in the car without missing a beat.
On the wooden wall, there is only a centimeter difference from Gao Jin.
At the same time, there was a loud shout outside the car: "There is an assassin!"
The streets in the dark night were deserted and looked like a ghostland. Every house had a lantern hanging in front of its door. Although the lights were dim and swayed by the north wind, it was still extremely difficult to hide.
Two carriages stopped in the middle of the road. Dozens of Tian Feng's guards suddenly became confused. Three or four of them had been shot down. The sharp arrows shot in the dark focused on the high-spirited carriage, and suddenly another cover was thrown.
Feather arrows shot out from the dark night.
With a bang, the carriage compartment suddenly exploded, and sawdust flew everywhere. A figure jumped out of the breach. After a few vertical movements, he jumped to the ground. Gao Jin came out with his sword horizontally, looking in all directions, looking at the night sky.
Full of alertness.
Seeing that Gao Jin was safe and sound, several personal guards breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around him.
At this time, Tian Feng also got off the carriage and was surrounded by the guards. His carriage did not suffer many attacks. It was obvious that the target of these assassins was to target Gao Jin or Gao Jin's carriage.
Gao Jin's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked towards the dark street. Tian Feng came with his guards to meet Gao Jin and said, "General Gao, are you okay?"
Gao Jin slowly shook his head and said, "These people are here for Mr. Tian."
Tian Feng was surprised and said: "How can the general judge?"
Gao Jin turned his face sideways and glanced at Tian Feng sharply: "Mr. Tian knows better than me, why bother pretending to be surprised."
Tian Feng remained silent for a long time and then said: "Most of these people are related to Cao Cao. When a certain person entered the city, he noticed that there were people following him. I am afraid that Cao Cao does not want to see an alliance between my lord and General Lu."
Gao Jin said: "So Mr. Tian asked me to get in your car and act as a shield for you?"
Tian Feng was pressed by Gao Jin's words and quickly said: "This was never intended. This incident just happened by chance. How could Feng have thought that they would take action at this time."
At this time, another canopy of feathered arrows shot out from the darkness, and countless arrow clusters shining with azure cold light shot out from the void.
The guards shouted a warning and used wooden shields to block Tian Feng and Gao Jin. Gao Jin had already clearly seen the direction of the flying arrow. He raised an Emei needle in his hand and threw it in the direction of the flying arrow.
Tuk-tuk-tuk... More than a dozen flying arrows hit the shield, making a sound of penetrating the wood. One of the arrows was so powerful that it actually passed through the wooden shield and pierced the chest of the guard holding the shield with the remaining force.
Wei let out a scream, dark blood flowed from his ears and nose, and he fell down.
"The arrows are poisonous!"
Just as the screams of the guards were drowned out, a series of screams were heard simultaneously in the darkness, and then the sound of many heavy objects falling from the roof tiles to the ground was heard.
One of the guards wanted to go and check, and shouted: "General, there are several corpses there."
Gao Jin knew that they had been hit by the Emei needle, and said solemnly: "Don't pay attention to them, we just move forward."
Gao Jin grabbed Tian Feng's sleeves and said calmly: "Mr. Tian is also an elegant man. The moonlight tonight is clear and beautiful. How about we get off the car and walk to admire the moon?" He laughed, deliberately making those people hidden in the darkness
When the assassins heard this, they abandoned their carriages and horses and marched on foot.
Tian Feng was already in a state of confusion at this time. It was probably rare to see someone as calm as Gao Jin in the face of trouble. Seeing that he was so calm, Tian Feng gained confidence and said in a free and easy manner: "The general invites you, a certain person."
How dare you refuse?"
The two of them walked side by side, with dozens of guards standing guard all around. At this time, no one fired any hidden arrows. Those assassins must also know how powerful Gao Jin is.
The reason why Gao Jin walked was to lure the snake out of its hole. These assassins were so impatient to murder Tian Feng, so time must have been tight. Gao Jin simply gave them enough opportunities to catch them all when they surfaced.
Tian Feng naturally understood what Gao Jin was thinking, and he couldn't hide his admiration when he looked at Gao Jin. Such a demeanor that remained unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain was indeed like that of a general.
He couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "General, be careful. I have heard for a long time that Cao Cao has set up the post of Captain of the Assassin Tiger under his command. He secretly recruits dead soldiers and collects intelligence for him. In addition, he is also responsible for assassination, bribery and other tasks."
"The leader is from Hebei. His surname is Han Mingrong. He is closely related to several of my lord's generals. He was once the master of General Zhang Jaw and was known as the King of Spears in the North. If this person comes to Xiapi, I'm afraid we can't underestimate him easily.
"
Gao Jin was concerned and said: "Hebei Spear King, could this person be more powerful than generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou?"
Tian Feng shook his head: "If we talk about leading the army in battle, Yan Liang is naturally the leader. General Wen Chou is much more powerful. But when it comes to assassination and fighting, I am afraid that Han Rong is above all the generals in Hebei. My lord once deliberately recruited him, and ordered Zhang Zha to lead him.
I went to invite him to come out of the mountain with gifts, but this man was so arrogant that he even opened his mouth and closed the door. But for some unknown reason, he came to Xuchang and was recruited by Cao Cao."
Gao Jin smiled bitterly, Cao Cao was really good at recruiting talents, I really don't know what methods he used.
Then he thought that Cao Cao was very whimsical. He created a gold-touching captain to steal people's graves to raise military pay, and also created a tiger-thorning captain. Sometimes Gao Jin wondered if this person was also a time traveler, otherwise what would happen?
Would you like to form a special force like this?
When Tian Feng said this, he couldn't help but lamented that Yuan Shao was popular in the eyes of the world, but in his opinion, he was not a wise master.
Constantly scheming and arrogant, this seems to have always been the nature of the children of the aristocratic family. Han Rong is a smart man, and would rather abandon Yuan Shao and serve Cao Cao, but is Tian Feng smart? He is full of ingenuity, and in the Hebei Army
He is known as the number one counselor, but he still loyal to Yuan Shao despite knowing that he is not a wise master. Is this smart or stupid?
Gao Jin never expected that Tian Feng would have so many ideas. He curled his lips and said, "So what if the Northland Spear King is here? I want to see his shooting skills."
The two of them were talking as they walked, and unknowingly they had reached the end of the alley. The guards could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. If they walked further, they would reach Tian Feng's residence. The closer it was, the safer it would be.
But Gao Jin became more vigilant. He understood that since these people were assassins, they must be very proficient in assassination. The more he relaxed his vigilance, the more likely these people would appear. He hid his hand in his big sleeve and shook it gently.
, several Emei needles hidden in his sleeves have fallen into Gao Jin's hands. Whenever there is any movement, he can react correctly at any time.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of hoofbeats on the left, and more than a dozen riders were approaching like a strong wind.
These knights were wearing night clothes, each of them was strong, covered with a kerchief, and were as quiet as the god of death. However, their wolf-like eyes were fixed on Tian Feng. Obviously this time, they were no longer willing to hurt people in secret and turned to superficial
He came out of the water to be stabbed by force.
The visitors dismounted one after another, and the leader raised his hand and made a strange movement. A total of nineteen visitors spread out and surrounded Gao Jin and others in a half-moon formation, leaving no way for them to escape.
