A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 44 Draw a knife to help
Xue Wanche was cut into a terrified state, wounded in several places, and his clothes were stained red with blood. However, this person is worthy of being called one of the five tigers of the Xue family. After escaping the initial fierce attack, he successfully recovered from the fallen Buqu. A ring-headed horizontal knife.

Although it was a light horizontal knife, with the knife in hand, Xue Wanche's momentum suddenly changed. He no longer blindly evaded, but began to counterattack and slash. He slashed and asked, "Who are you, dare to assassinate the county government in the street!"

But the masked man didn't speak, just slashed fiercely one after another.

On the street, sudden changes startled everyone.

Fatty Wu said in a low voice, "Retribution!"

Huaiyi reached out to touch the knife, but Huaiyu held him down. He didn't know whether he was going to help Xue Wanche or kill the assassin, but at this moment he felt that he should wait and see what happened.

The light of the knife is like snow.

In just a few moments, this raid and assassination on the street has already caused several people to fall from both sides, bloody.

Xue Wanche was covered in blood, even his crown had been knocked off, and his hair was disheveled. He was embarrassed but also fierce. The masked man opposite him was also stabbed with blood.

But that man was very fierce and had no intention of retreating. He continued to slash with a big knife, and even completely killed him. This made the mighty Xue Wanche somewhat restrained, after all, he didn't want to die.

And without any armor, no long soldiers, no horses, this Tiger of the Xue family has greatly reduced combat power.

"Quickly go to Xifang Gate and call for someone to take down these assassins!"

Xue Wanche started to defend, he was even somewhat confident, as long as there was a little more delay, the guards at the gate of the square, and Marquis Wu on the street outside the square, would rush to reinforce them, and these assassins would have no chance of escaping.

As soon as these words came out, the black-faced man's offensive became more and more fierce.

Suddenly, Xue Wanjun repelled the masked man with three sabers, and then with a sudden flick of his hand, he actually threw out a short knife that was already in his hand.

It was a refined barrier knife tied to a belt.

This kind of small knife can not only protect the body, but also be used to eat meat. It is very convenient in daily life. It is usually carried, but it will be attacked suddenly, and it will catch the opponent by surprise.

With a muffled grunt, the assassin's thigh was pierced by the barrier knife.

Huaiyu was watching the battle not far away, and even felt that the voice seemed a little strange, as if it was not a man's voice.

Looking at the horse-cutting sword and the severed horse's head on the ground, he suddenly thought of a person.

Huaiyu pulled Fatty Wu back a few steps, then asked him softly: "Last time you said that Aunt Xue killed three fiancés, what's the name of her third fiancé?"

"Jing Hui, the son of General Jing Junhong of Zuo Tunwei."

"Who killed Jing Hui?"

"Xue Wanche, Jing Junhong was shot and killed by Feng Li, Jing Hui died under Xue Wanche's horse spear, was pierced by a spear, and the whole person was provoked, then Xue Wanche is really fierce, and Jing Hui is said to be very brave, But he was pierced and provoked by him as soon as we met each other, and he held it up high to scare the entire camp."

Huai Yi said on the side: "Brother, what you said is true. That day I saw Captain Jing was stabbed and provoked by Xue Wanche. General Jing was shot and killed by Feng Li when he was fighting Xie Shufang. .”

"If Xue Wanche was wearing armor and riding a horse with a lance, the assassin who carried the horse-slashing sword would have been killed long ago. That man won't last long. He is not Xue Wanche's opponent at all. Although the surprise attack caught Xue Wanche by surprise, their strength A big difference.

They made a mistake. They should always use arrows instead of close combat. If they used arrows to shoot long distances, they might still have some chances. Now they have no chance. There are street shops of Wuhouwei on the left and right, and Wuhou, who guards the street there, can arrive immediately.

Once they come, none of these people can escape. "

"Where do you think these people came from? They dared to assassinate in the street in Chang'an City. They are really brave." The fat man said with a smile.

Huaiyu and the two of them looked at each other and made eye contact.

They all thought of one person, that Aunt Fan who once cut off seven horse heads with a horse-cutting sword, who claimed to have killed three fiancés, and the third fiancé was Aunt Fan who died at the hands of Xue Wanche.

That Aunt Fan with Danfeng eyes and long eyebrows and long legs.

A few days ago, she gave herself 420 bolts of silk and ordered ten bottles of pills, but she couldn't find her these days, and she still hasn't been able to deliver them.

"Is it her?"

"Maybe."

The two looked over there, their offense and defense had changed.

The masked assassin was stabbed in the leg, and his body was cut several times by the horizontal knife. His movements gradually slowed down, and his physical strength seemed to be exhausted. On the contrary, Xue Wanche has been fighting more and more fiercely. Although he is covered in blood, he has no sign of fatigue. He held the knife and stabbed him one after another. Huaiyu even felt that he was playing cat and mouse, as if he was not in a hurry to hack this person to death, but wanted to catch him alive.

Huaiyu's mind was spinning rapidly.

Seeing that the man was about to lose his hold, several of his subordinates had already fallen down, and on the side of Ximen, there were already knowing footsteps, and reinforcements were coming.

The man seemed to realize that, and wanted to evacuate, he whistled to signal.

"Don't let them run away!" Xue Wanche yelled. "Catch an assassin, and the county government will reward you ten thousand!"

Hearing this, Huaiyu pulled out the horizontal knife from Huaiyi's waist, and then rushed forward holding the knife, shouting as he rushed, "Catch the assassin, get the reward!"

As soon as he rushed and shouted, as expected, many of the neighbors who had just been onlookers rushed forward one after another. The so-called dog wins the battle. Just now everyone just avoided the onlookers. , all surrounded him excitedly, wanting to capture him for a reward.

Huaiyu went straight to Xue Wanche, "Mr. Xue, I'll help you."

Rushing forward, he slashed wildly with his knife, blocking Xue Wanche intentionally or unintentionally.

He slashed at Xue Wanche again, and when passing by the man in black, he said in a low voice: "Marquis Wu and Fang Ding have arrived, let's see where you go!"

Turning around, Huaiyu rushed up with the knife again, and stood in front of Xue Wanche again, "Bold assassin, Hugh is crazy, look at the knife,"

"Stop him quickly, they want to run to the canal," Huaiyu yelled again, and signaled to the man in black in front of him, "Quick, they are going to run to the canal."

The masked man in black was scarred and exhausted, and was about to be surrounded. Fortunately, Huaiyu helped him block Xue Wanche a few times, giving him a chance to breathe, but if this continues, he will be captured sooner or later.

Hearing Huaiyu keep saying that they were going to escape to the canal at this time, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Looking at the somewhat impressed face, she understood.

With a long howl, she slashed out, Huaiyu backed up repeatedly, and bumped into Xue Wanche's arms.

She took the opportunity to turn around and ran towards the canal on the side of the street.

Several of her companions also rushed to the canal, and they jumped into the Yong'an Canal, which was more than three feet wide.

The Yong'an Canal originated from the Xiangji Temple in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, passing through Chang'an, and flowing northward into the Wei River. This canal is very smooth through streets and squares.

It is a better choice for the injured assassins to escape through the aqueduct.

"Mr. Xue, are you okay?"

Xue Wanche watched those assassins jump into the ditch, and was soon covered by the square wall house, lost his figure, and gritted his teeth angrily.I don't know where a young man came out to help him.

He was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"Mr. Wu An, you are injured and bleeding a lot. Hurry up and bandage to stop the bleeding. You can't delay."

"Wu Huaiyu, Ying Guogong's nephew, just now my elder brother Junya told our brothers about You Weilang's transfer of General Xue's Wu Angong. Our brothers also think Wu Angong's words are reasonable. Everyone is their master, it's a business, not a personal grudge,
Seeing the fire coming, I didn't expect that the Wu'an family was on fire, and I didn't expect such a rampant assassin to openly assassinate Wu'an.

It was my duty to help, but unfortunately I was not skilled in martial arts, so I couldn't keep the assassin, but fortunately, I protected Mr. Wu An. I know a little about medicine, and there are some healing elixirs here. Please heal Mr. Wu An quickly. "

Xue Wanche didn't want to pay attention to this dazed young man at first, but was surprised to hear what he had to say.

At this time, Wu Junya and Wu Huaiyi came over and reported their names and identities directly. One was the eldest son of Xuancheng Gong warrior Leng, and the other was Tunying Baiqi.

Especially Wu Huaiyi, he still has the impression that a few days ago he came to Zhongnan Mountain to recruit him on behalf of the King of Qin, but he didn't accept it and led someone to ambush him. At that time, he saw this guy fell off the cliff with an arrow, but he didn't expect that he was still alive. Unexpectedly, he is actually the nephew of Duke Ying's warrior Xun, and now he has become the new crown prince's valet Baiqi.
