I’m The King Chapter 536: : Assassination

In the evening, the snow was a little lighter, but the wind was a little colder. The torch was struggling to maintain it in the biting cold wind, and it seemed that it might be blown out at any time. The snow accumulated during the day had not yet frozen. Hard, this also makes the war horse a bit difficult, the progress of the whole team is not too fast, but Baiyang Village is only 50 miles away from Jishi City, hold on, that is, it takes two hours, and try to return to the city before midnight inside. This article by. .

The people on the road were quiet. He Lanxiong was thinking about Wu Xinlian, Yan Shenghao was thinking about how to implement Gao Yuan's political policy when he went back, and Gao Yuan was thinking about the next battle with the Donghu people. Thorpe was not a good man to deal with. For those who want to, they need to work hard. The accompanying soldiers were doing their best to keep the torches in their hands from being blown out by the wind and snow.

All of a sudden, apart from the rustling of snow seeds hitting the cloak, the slight sound of falling on the ground, and the crackling of burning torches, even the sound of horseshoes was overwhelmed by the fluffy snow. dissipated.

But in the midst of this silence, Gao Yuan's hairs suddenly stood on end, and a great sense of crisis suddenly emerged from his heart. This was a situation he had never encountered before. At this moment, he The whole body is almost stiff.

He stopped abruptly. Yan Shenghao, who was half a body behind him, didn't pay attention for a moment, and almost collided with him.

He saw Gao Yuan's expression was quite bad.

"Be careful!" At this moment, Gao Yuan suddenly yelled, leaned his body, and fell from the horse to one side like a stone. At the same time as he fell, he stretched out a hand and grabbed Yan Shenghao was caught off guard, Yan Shenghao followed Gao Yuan and fell down towards the horse.

Almost at the same moment, in the quiet world, there was the sound of crossbow arrows shooting. Covering up Xuezi's rustling sound, Gao Yuan fell to the ground. Yan Shenghao was a little late, and immediately got hit by a crossbow arrow on his right shoulder, and immediately screamed. Fortunately, Gao Yuan pulled him, otherwise, this time, He was afraid that he would die on the spot.

He Lanxiong was extremely vigilant, just as the word Gao Yuan was careful, he was turned over. The whole person hid on the side of the horse's belly, and the sound of the crossbow arrow sounded, and he clearly heard the blunt sound of the crossbow arrow penetrating into the belly of the horse he was riding, as well as Yan Shenghao's long and miserable cry.

He immediately jumped off his horse, and his whole body lay on the ground. The horse was injured, and with a hiss of surprise, he rushed to the side.

"There are assassins!" He Lanxiong choked, and drew out the scimitar from his waist. Pressing the hand on the ground, like a poisonous snake, it slid forward on the ground, from the angle of the arrow in the horse. He has already judged the direction from which the crossbow arrows were shot.

This round of crossbow arrows was shot from under the snow not far away. In the first round, several guards fell off their horses, and the horses neighed and galloped. Gao Yuan jumped off the horse, squatted on the ground, and supported Yan Shenghao with one hand. Glancing at Yan Shenghao's injury, his heart eased just now. Fortunately, it's not a serious problem.

After a short period of panic, the accompanying guards immediately showed extraordinary responsiveness. The dozen or so horses in the back galloped forward, one by one, enclosing Yan Shenghao and Gao Yuan in the middle. After getting off the horse, they formed another circle inside, so that there was no gap between the two of them, no matter how many crossbow arrows were fired, they could not reach the two of them, and the remaining guards shouted loudly and shot at the crossbow arrows. direction to run.

The originally flat snow field suddenly exploded, and dozens of figures jumped out from under the snow, all dressed in white robes, even their heads and faces were wrapped in white masks. There was no movement on the snowy ground, and it was impossible to notice at night like this.

The crossbows in their hands were being raised. Just after shooting the first round, they re-stringed the crossbows at an extremely fast speed. With this speed alone, these people are extremely elite assaulters team.

But what they are facing is an elite who is more responsive than them.

When the crossbow was just raised, He Lanxiong had already arrived in front of them. With one hand propped on the ground, the scimitar in his hand was slashed, blood burst out, and the wrists of the first two people were immediately cut off. , He Lanxiong had already rushed into their team, and the dozen or so guards who rushed up were only one step slower than them.

Gao Yuan's face was as cold as ice, and he handed Yan Shenghao to an accompanying guard, stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to touch his waist, and the three-sided army thorn that had not been used for a long time appeared in his hand again.

He walked out, and the guards around him dodged a gap. The two guards walked out together with him. The postures of the two of them were very strange. In this way, even if there is a sudden attack, no matter how bad they are, they can use their bodies to block the attack.

"Catch him alive!" Gao Yuan was furious. If it wasn't for his innate vigilance to detect the abnormality at this time, the first round of attacks just now, I am afraid that both himself and Yan Shenghao would have to lie dead on the spot. More, who wants his own life, he has to find out.

At the same time that Gao Yuan said these words, He Lanxiong had already killed several people. Obviously, He Lanxiong was extremely angry at such a sudden attack. At this time, his thick arms were strangling another killer's neck, and the scimitar in his hand was about to stab the man's chest upside down. Hearing Gao Yuan's words, he turned his wrist and hit the man's head hard with the hilt , the man let out a muffled grunt, and fell limply.

At this time, what Gao Yuan didn't know was that there was another person lying on the snowy ground dozens of steps away from the assassination scene, holding a riding crossbow in his hand, and the blue arrow moved with Gao Yuan. He moved with his feet, and after a long while, he finally put it down, because the two guards around Gao Yuan were in excellent positions. No matter which angle he aimed at, when he heard the howling sound of the crossbow arrows, the opponent would have time to block Gao Yuan with his body and miss a single hit. , I can't go by myself.

Looking not far away, more than a dozen assassins have been taken down one after another. The man sighed silently. The next winding trace, in an instant, has retreated dozens of steps away, and the whole person has been hidden in the darkness.

Compared with the murderous aura of the dozen or so people before when they wanted to attack, the person on the other side seemed much more powerful. From the beginning to the end, Gao Yuan hadn't noticed that there was a beast watching on the side, if it wasn't for the side His guards are well-trained, and Gao Yuan probably won't be able to dodge this arrow.

The battle started very abruptly and ended very quickly. Of the fifteen assassins, ten were killed on the spot, and five were captured alive. Among the five survivors, only two were intact, and the other three, Although the guards kept their hands, they couldn't take them in and out like He Lanxiong. The three living people were dying at this moment.

"Captain, he is from Yan Lingwei!" A guard found an iron plate from the assassin, and presented it to Gao Yuan with both hands.

Gao Yuan snorted, raised his chin, "Search them all."

A moment later, fifteen iron plates were placed on the snow in front of Gao Yuan.

"Yan Lingwei, Tan Feng!" Gao Yuan was furious. "Go and interrogate the two guys, and interrogate them separately. If there is a lie, they will be cut piece by piece."

The two assassins captured by He Lanxiong were immediately dragged to the two sides by the guards, separated by tens of meters, it was impossible to hear the voices of each other talking.

"Captain, come here quickly, the arrow is poisonous." The guard taking care of Yan Shenghao suddenly screamed.

Gao Yuan was startled, and turned around quickly. The guard had just torn off the clothes on Yan Shenghao's arm to bandage him, but he suddenly saw that the place where the arrow was hit had turned black.

"How far is it from Jishi City?"

"Captain, we have just walked halfway, and we are still more than 20 miles away from Jishi City." A guard said.

Gao Yuan looked at Yan Shenghao's injury with a sullen face. In just a few words, the blackness had already expanded in a circle. It seemed that Yan Shenghao would be poisoned if he couldn't reach Jishi City.

"This poison is so powerful, General, what should I do?"

Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, shook his wrist, and the thin blade that was rarely shown appeared between his fingers, "Strictly discuss politics, be patient." On top of it, sliding along the place where the black air spread, a large mass of black muscle was immediately gouged out by him and thrown away far away.

"Rope!" Gao Yuan stretched out his hand.

A guard handed over a cloth belt, and Gao Yuan tightly strangled Yan Shenghao's wound. Although he picked out the place where the arrow was hit, the poison was not completely removed. It attacked Yan Shenghao's heart.

"Come on, hurry back to Jishi City and report to Doctor Qiu to prepare for treatment."

The two guards got on their horses and lashed the horse's **** with a strong whip. At this time, they couldn't care less about the horses.

"He Lan, you are good at equestrian skills. Take Yan Yizheng with you. Let's go back to Jishi City."

A group of people got on their horses and hurried towards Jishi City. After a while, the guards who stayed behind to interrogate the prisoners also caught up. "General, they are all members of Yan Lingwei. They sneaked into Jishi City on this trip to assassinate Yan Yizheng~IndoMTL.com~ A guard rushed to Gao Yuan's side and said loudly. "The leader is Li Yuncong. "

"Li Yuncong?" Gao Yuan was startled. He heard about this person, "Did Li Yuncong die just now?"

"No, the man said that Li Yuncong never showed up." The guard replied.

Gao Yuan took a long breath, feeling a little scared in his heart. It seems that Li Yuncong must have been watching from the side just now, but he didn't find a chance to kill him. Their target is Yan Shenghao. It seems that Yan Lingwei originally wanted to kill Yan Shenghao, causing chaos in Jishi City, and causing suspicion between Hejian County and Jishi City. He did not expect that he and Yan Shenghao would be together. Accompanying him is He Lanxiong.

"Where are the prisoners?"

"Kill them all!" the guard said.

Gao Yuan nodded and understood what was going on. It doesn't matter whether these prisoners exist or not. (To be continued..)
