Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 398 Be Prepared
Bailang stopped the car and stared ahead, showing a look of guard.

"Woo!" The caravan's vehicles also stopped.

Meng Xuanyu and Wei Ying also frowned, sensing a murderous aura spreading out in the forest ahead.

"There is a situation, everyone pay attention!"

Everyone became cautious, reached out and quietly held weapons and crossbows, etc., and looked at the woodland ahead.

"Why did you stop the car?" Peng Qingqing lifted the curtain of the car and asked Bai Lang and Jing Yun who were sitting on the car's shaft.

"Miss Peng, there may be a situation ahead." Jing Yun replied.

Peng Qingqing's expression changed, his brows furrowed, and he thought of a possibility, could there be another assassin attacking him?

"It's not over yet!"

Peng Qingqing returned to the carriage and took hold of her saber. This time, she wanted to protect her fiancé at every step.

Su Chen's complexion is not good. If there is an assassin, he will be really angry. The other party is really determined to get rid of him. Under the protection of the official Li Yu, there are still forces to attack at this time, which is too much.

"In case of an ambush, don't leave five steps away from me." Peng Qingqing urged with a serious face.

Su Chen also grabbed his saber and decided to fight back.

"Understood..." Su Chen replied, although being protected by a woman felt a bit embarrassing, but his fiancée was not an outsider, and being protected by a goddess with high martial arts skills and a beautiful appearance was also something to be proud of.

Do other men have this treatment?
Who wouldn't envy him if he said it?

When Su Chen thought about it this way, his heart felt a lot more balanced.

"Shhhhhh!"

At this moment, dozens of arrows shot through the air from the woods.

The lurking assassin finally couldn't help but strike.

Because the convoy stopped, it was obvious that they had sensed the assassins in the forest. They stopped and turned passive into active. It was obviously impossible for those assassins to make another surprise attack. They had to attack immediately, otherwise all the people waiting for the convoy Prepare to counter and their attacks will have no advantage.

First, the crossbow arrows were shot out, piercing through the leaves with unabated vigor, like a rain of arrows hitting the past.

"Watch out for cold arrows!"

"Take the shield platoon!"

Those merchants' buddies, grooms, attendants, etc. are actually the hardest fighters among the warriors. They are selected from a hundred in the army and trained to become secret spies who can follow them out to perform missions in foreign countries.

Facing the attack, these people moved quickly. Five or six people used shields to resist the arrows, and several people used crossbows to fight back. The rest hid behind the vehicles to avoid the arrows.

After three rounds of random arrows, only a few people in the caravan were injured, but no one was killed, so the loss was not big.

Seeing this, the hidden assassins couldn't do anything to this group of people from a distance, so they could only show up with their knives, ready to fight in close quarters.

"Slay Su Chen!"

"Cut Su Chen—"

A group of men in black appeared, about 50 to [-] people, holding mo knives and sharp swords, and surrounded them with a clatter.

"Fight back!"

Meng Xuanyu yelled, commanding the guards of the caravan to block the assassins.

"kill!"

The man in black rushed forward and fought hand to hand with more than 30 people in the caravan, and they fought together in an instant.

"Dangdangdang!"

Weapons collided, swords and swords fought, and soon someone was hit by the blade, pierced by the blade, blood was sprayed, and the stumps flew around.

There were three powerful black-clothed leaders, who moved swiftly like tigers and leopards, and went straight to Su Chen's vehicle.

Bailang drew his knife and attacked, and stopped the three black-clothed leaders by himself.

"Weiying, go and help!"

"Young master, I still want to protect you!"

"Do I need your protection?" Meng Xuanyu's martial arts is also very high, and he doesn't need protection, but because of his noble status, his personal bodyguard Wei Ying and several loyal bodyguards are almost close to each other, worrying about cold arrows. To Second Highness.

"But..." Weiying wanted to persuade her more.

Meng Xuanyu yelled: "Get out of here quickly, we must not let them hurt Su Chen!"

"Okay!" Wei Ying saw the worry of His Highness the Second Highness, she prioritized Su Chen in everything she did, and even he was a little jealous.

Weiying turned around and ran to where Bailang was, helping him defend against the enemy.

At this time, Su Chen drew his knife and got out of the car, and he and Peng Qingqing faced the enemy side by side.

Several black-clothed assassins rushed over, and were quickly killed by Peng Qingqing, leaving only one for Su Chen to practice.

"The Hu family's sword technique, I slash, I chop, and I kill!"

Su Chen wielded the saber, and became more and more proficient. He was able to make every move at will, and the angle was tricky. He could always intercept and block just right. After more than ten moves, he finally eliminated his opponent.

Peng Qingqing had already killed four people, turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, I've made progress. If I work hard for another ten or eight years, I may be able to catch up with my current strength."

Su Chen thought to himself, this is Versailles!

If I work hard for another ten years, I will be at her current level. Praise me, or praise herself!
However, the gap between the two does exist, Su Chen is making progress, and Peng Qingqing is also making progress, and the gap has not shortened much.

After fighting fiercely for a while, the group of men in black realized that something was wrong, because the people in these caravans were all very powerful in fighting. The assassin looked at it and thought it was like killing chickens, it was easy to slaughter them all.

However, when they started fighting, the black-clothed assassins were all caught in a fight, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage, either dead or injured, almost half of them fell to the ground.

"Crap!"

A leader suddenly issued an order to retreat. He already had a premonition that the situation was not good, and he would not be able to kill Su Chen, and it was even difficult to get close to him.

"Where to go!"

Meng Xuanyu locked onto this person, jumped over, stabbed down with his sword, his hand was like lightning, his body was like a swallow, and his swordsmanship was weaving and intertwined, extremely sharp.

The black-clothed leader quickly fought with him, stabbing dozens of swords, and in the end, he was still defeated by Meng Xuanyu's swordsmanship. His arm was cut off and almost cut off. I dare not stay any longer.

The uninjured men in black also began to flee. About a dozen people retreated. There were about [-] assassins lying on the ground, and seven or eight people were injured and unable to move. They committed suicide directly, fearing that they would be captured and leak the secret.

"Master Su, are you not hurt?" Meng Xuanyu walked over and asked politely.

Su Chen shook his head and said: "No injuries! This time, thanks to Mr. Meng's arrangement of manpower in advance, they worked together to repel the assassin without any risk."

Meng Xuanyu said solemnly: "This is just a precautionary measure, just in case, I didn't expect that someone would dare to do it, regardless of the imperial court's order."

Peng Qingqing looked at the black-clothed corpses and asked, "Have you found any clues to find out who they are?"

Wei Ying stepped forward with two knives in hand, and said with a bitter smile: "These weapons are actually military weapons of the Shu region. They were made by the blacksmiths of the Shu Kingdom, and there are signs of the Shu name on them. This is obviously going to put the blame on our Shu army." country."

Su Chen sighed: "Every time the murderer commits a crime, he likes to make a fuss about the weapon, and wants to blame others!"

Peng Qingqing looked at Su Chen and asked, "Do you have a guess, which side is it?"

Su Chen shook his head and said, "It might be from the Song Party, it might be from the New Party, or it might be from the Song Kingdom, it's hard to be sure!"

Meng Xuanyu pondered for a while, and said: "It should be the secret spy of the Song Dynasty, because I have just fought, and I have found out that the moves of these assassins are rough and wild, which is in line with the characteristics of northern martial arts and swords. One person may be fake, but there are so many people. If they all look like northern martial arts practitioners, then their identities are not difficult to guess."

"People from Wu Desi!" Su Chen frowned, maybe this time he was really from the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was going to kill him.
