Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 38 Assassin Attacks
On the official road leading to Zhongqing City, several elite cavalry spies galloped past.

At the same time, in the dense forest on both sides of the official road, several figures flashed past, and then disappeared, without attracting the attention of the cavalry spies at all.

About half a cup of tea passed, there was the sound of cavalry and horses' hooves, and there was a lot of movement.

Hundreds of elite cavalry, all wearing silver armor, with white feathers inserted on both sides of the silver helmet on the head.Stepping down with the iron hoof, the murderous aura scattered around, which was extremely frightening.

Such an elite cavalry soldier is obviously Wang Xiao's personal soldier, the White Feather Army.

In the White Feather Army, guarding a chariot frame.Needless to say, I know this is Wang Xiao's frame.

But at this moment, in the dense forests on both sides of the official road, there was a slight rustling sound suddenly.

It's just that under such a big movement of the cavalry, the subtle sounds in the dense forest were not noticed by the Baiyu army.

If someone goes deep into the dense forest at this time, they will find that in the forest on both sides of the official road, there are hundreds of capable men wearing turbans and holding seedling knives in their mouths. into one.

"Da da da", the sound of heavy horseshoes came, which made people feel oppressed.

But these men are not only not afraid, but there is a murderous intent in their eyes.

In the frame, Wang Xiao was holding a tortoise shell, looking at the few copper coins in front of him, his face became extremely ugly.

Just now, he made two divinations for himself.

The first hexagram, the hexagram image is up and down, which means that everything is blocked, disputes are inevitable, and it is necessary to use strong means to remove the barriers before success can be achieved.

This first hexagram is no different from what he predicted before.

But just now, he had a sudden induction, and on a whim, he made a second hexagram for himself.

But this time the hexagrams are up and down.Kan is water, Gen is mountain, with jagged rocks and tortuous water flow.Those who get this hexagram will find it difficult to move forward, be in a dilemma, and suffer physically and mentally.Those who get this hexagram should stop when they see obstacles, and protect themselves wisely.

Wang Xiao originally wanted to seize the throne after the battle with the Li Dynasty, with the momentum of a big victory.

But the news of the emergence of a master in the palace surprised Wang Xiao.In order to avoid accidents, he left the army and returned in a hurry.

Now this hexagram, combined with what happened in Beijing, made Wang Xiao's heart heavy.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xiao pushed open the window of the carriage and said in a deep voice:

"stop!"

The knight of the White Feather Army who was accompanying the carriage immediately shouted loudly when he heard this, and said:
"The master has ordered, stop!"

As soon as the military order was issued, the Baiyu army immediately reined in their horses. The army was solemn and solemn, without even the slightest noise and chaos. It was obvious that they were well trained.

Wang Xiao stepped out of the carriage, looked at the direction of travel, and frowned.

The upper ridge and the lower gen are the Jian hexagrams, which are the Dui Gong IV hexagrams, which are good for traveling southwest and not good for traveling northeast.But the direction of Zhongqing City was exactly in the northeast direction of Wang Xiao at this time.

Wang Xiao stood on the carriage, looking forward with his hands behind his back, his pupils flickered with a subtle but extremely miraculous brilliance, and said in a deep voice:
"The two mountains here face each other, the earth's air is heavy and turbid, and the terrain is yin-sealed. There are many hidden dangers and subsidences. The killing place...send people to investigate!"

Hearing the words, the commander of the Baiyu Army couldn't help being taken aback, and immediately bowed and said:
"Yes!"

Then he waved his hand, and a dozen white-feathered cavalry rode forward to investigate.

But at this moment, among the mountains and forests, only a sharp whistle was heard.Immediately, another five or six whistles responded.

One figure after another suddenly rushed out of the dense forest.

The dozens of White Feather Army knights who went to investigate did not investigate any of them, and were thrown off their horses by the figures that rushed out.

There was only the sound of "噗嗤" of flesh and blood being cut, and the blade was stained with blood. Before a dozen White Feather Army knights had time to react, they were killed and injured immediately!

"Enemy attack!" The commander of the White Feather Army roared, and the knights of the White Feather Army immediately moved after hearing the sound. On one side of the formation, they immediately surrounded Wang Xiao's carriage in the center.

Countless figures swarmed out from the dense forest, intending to attack and kill.But seeing that the White Feather Army had already set up an army formation in a timely manner, the whistle just now sounded again.

Afterwards, various whistles echoed, and the assassins who had just rushed towards this place heard the movement, turned around immediately, and dispersed into the dense forest very quickly.

These assassins, from the looks of their clothes and weapons, should all be from local tribes.The people of these tribes grew up in the mountains since they were young, and they ran like flying in the mountains.

As soon as he enters the dense forest, he looks like a dragon entering the sea, his body is swift.Cooperating with the special clothing on the body, it perfectly blends into the mountains and forests.

In the dense forest on both sides of the official road, there was no figure of any assassin, only the sound of rustling noises came continuously, reminding everyone that the assassin was still there.

All of a sudden, the dense forest in front of him seemed to be lurking with a ferocious beast, gazing at it, revealing its murderous intent, and even the white feather army sat down on their horses, snorting uneasily at this moment.

"There are so many assassins, please retreat temporarily!" The commander of the Baiyu army immediately cupped his hands at Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao looked even colder, and snapped:

"Someone wants to kill me, so they will only send these people? There must be masters ambushing behind, waiting for me to abandon the army and flee..."

Having said that, Wang Xiao took a deep breath and said firmly:

"The whole army is on horseback, these assassins don't need to pay attention, just rush over!"

He, Wang Xiao, is a member of the Yin Yang family.But compared to Taoism's theory of conforming to the way of heaven, what the Yin-Yang School pursues is to guide the power of heaven and earth along the way, not blindly obey.

Even if the world warns against him, for the sake of his ambition, he must try his best!
Hearing Wang Xiao's order, the leader of the Baiyu Army didn't dare to persuade him anymore, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"Don't let the Grand Master down... the whole army mounts and protects the Grand Master!"

Immediately, a master from the Grand Master's Mansion who followed gave up his horse.Wang Xiao abandoned the frame, got on his horse, and under the protection of a group of cavalry, charged straight ahead.

In order not to arouse the vigilance of the cavalry spies, these assassins did not do anything on the road ahead.

The horses under Bai Yujun's crotch are all good horses.This group of assassins didn't even expect Wang Xiao to have the courage to kill in front, and they were caught off guard.

No matter how fast these assassins run between the mountains and forests, they are not as fast as war horses galloping.

Seeing Wang Xiao's figure go away, a sword light suddenly flashed among the mountains and forests.

The master from the Grand Master's Mansion was startled immediately, reacted very quickly, jumped up immediately, and threw Wang Xiaozi off immediately.

The sword light is fast, and its momentum is astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it comes with the momentum of thunder.

There was only a bang, and the sword energy raged. Under the light of the sword, Wang Xiao was riding a horse and guarding several white feather army knights, as if they had been cut by a long knife, their bodies were separated, and blood spattered all over the ground.
