The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 17

The man in black was a little flustered. He probably never expected that a dude would be so difficult to deal with.

Immediately, he kicked his feet and charged forward, using all his strength to stab out the sharp sword in an instant, leaving only a stream of light.

"Dang!" There was a harsh sound, sparks flew in the air, and the long sword deviated from the track and swiped to the right. Even if only two pairs of eyes were leaked, the inconceivable look in the eyes of the man in black could be clearly seen in an instant. With a spin, the deflected long sword instantly reversed its direction and drew a beautiful semicircle towards Wang Jian's waist.

when!There was another harsh sound of metal impact, Wang Jian's sword accurately blocked the attack and stepped back a few steps.

The man in black refused to let go, and rushed to attack one after another. His sword was fast, accurate and ruthless, but none of his swords could hit the vital point. The surprise in his eyes gradually turned into suspicion and fear!

Because he found out that the opponent would block his attack every time, just like a swordsmanship master who was so unpredictable that he had completely seen through his swordsmanship before he made a move.

This... This is that useless playboy!Who gave this tm information!The man in black's breathing gradually became disordered, his faith began to waver, and his sword slowed down by three points. Was the other party playing tricks on him?
Little did he know that Wang Jian was struggling to hold on. Although he could clearly see the opponent's movements and predict his attack with his spiritual sense, his physical strength, speed and control were far inferior to that of a swordsman like the opponent. He could only keep fighting. He couldn't launch a counterattack if he blocked it, and the opponent's attack often focused on the tip of the sword, and every time he blocked it, his arms were numb and his teeth were clenched.

Finally, after blocking eight or nine attacks in succession, his call for help attracted people around him, Liu Yu, Uncle Gong and others rushed forward one after another, and soon gathered six or seven people, besieged the men in black, and relieved Wang Jian. around.

"This is a vicious and treacherous assassin. You don't have to be particular about it. Let's go together side by side!" Wang Jian quickly suggested.

But no one listened to him, because almost all Liu Yu's subordinates present at this time.

"Protect the young master." Uncle Gong left a sentence, stepped forward with a spear in his hand, and immediately started fighting with the black-clothed swordsman. The sword of the man in black was very fast, but Uncle Gong's spear was faster, and the trembling tip of the spear flickered coldly. Like a poisonous snake spitting out letters and attacking the man in black one after another, the man in black's sword has slowed down a lot at this time, and it is completely suppressed and it is difficult to fight back.

Liu Yu watched from the side: "They are all masters!"

"What are you doing, quickly ask your people to help." Wang Jian said.

Liu Yu gave him a contemptuous look: "Don't disturb the duel between masters."

The battle between the two sides was still going on, the man in black was suppressed for a long time and finally found a chance to stick his sword against the barrel of the gun and push forward to get closer, but was retreated by Uncle Gong's neat big lunge, and the gun shook to the ground. He was forced out, and then a few fast and ruthless Zhongping stabs instantly hit the man in black whose pace was not steady and had no time to adjust.

He was punctured with a hole in his shoulder, bleeding gurglingly, and was losing his combat effectiveness. In the end, Uncle Gong's spear skills were better!
"Say, who sent you here!" Liu Yu stepped forward and questioned.

"Don't ask, he must be Ma Linggong's subordinate." Wang Jian said directly.

Hearing these words, the other party suddenly jumped up and rushed towards him, but Uncle Gong's gun was faster, stabbing him to the ground twice, one of which pierced the neck, and soon lost his life.

Soon the two dead soldiers inside were also carried out, Liu Yu's face became serious, and she only looked at Wang Jian now: "Could it be true what you said?"

"What do you think?" Wang Jian spread his hands, and his expression became very solemn: "I have something to say, only you can save me now, if you think our Wang family and Heyang leader are allies worthy of saving the Han Dynasty, then act quickly. otherwise."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise I can only run over the wall."

Liu Yu couldn't help chuckling, and didn't reply immediately, Wang Jian's heart was flustered, although he was calm on the surface, but he could clearly detect in his consciousness that the posthouse was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, he Escaping over the wall is simply a dream.

After a short period of suffering, Liu Yu untied a jade tablet from his waist and handed it to the person beside him, "Go and tell the officials at the posthouse that Princess Anling of the Han Dynasty wants to see the King of Zhao and Duke Ma Ling."

The tall attendant next to him took the order and quickly went away with the jade card. At this time, Wang Jian was slightly relieved.
-
Soon after that, someone came in respectfully, and all the officials of the post house also came, and they came to see Liu Yu one after another.

Although most of the eastern countries were prepared against the Han Dynasty, they were vassal states of the Han Dynasty in name, but in fact they were very afraid of the invasion of the Han army. Therefore, the envoys sent by the Han Dynasty were unscrupulous and domineering in these countries. What's more, it's the princess of the Han Dynasty who came this time!

The news was quickly reported layer by layer. In less than half an hour, a large number of officials were waiting outside the door, and more than a dozen carriages were prepared.

Many of them cautiously came over to verify the identity of the princess, and then immediately sent them across the long street to report.

Soon, many officials dressed in silk official uniforms respectfully sent carriages and invited Princess Anling of the Han Dynasty to the monarch's side.

Wang Jian and others also boarded the car as the princess' entourage. A large number of soldiers gathered outside the post house looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to move.

As for the matter in the post house, the princess only said that there were assassins, scolded them, and let the officials deal with it.

Wang Jian also experienced the thrill of a fox pretending to be a tiger, and at the same time he was glad that he saved his life.

The convoy walked along Chengbei Avenue, passing through a large bluestone road and towering pavilions. The road was sparsely populated, and the statue of the Lord of the Mountain on the eaves could be seen from time to time.This area is obviously not an area where ordinary people can come.

Finally, they left Maling City from the north, and then arrived at the hunting ground of the nobles. The officials greeted the princess and others and got out of the carriage. On the side of the road in the distance, the sun-shading roof was particularly conspicuous. The king of Zhao Guoguo had already led his ministers to wait there. up.

The Han Dynasty was very domineering, and had always adhered to the style of "the minister of a big country should be the master of a small country". Now that the princess of the Han Dynasty arrives, Zhao Guojun personally greets her.

However, Wang Jian noticed at a glance that his father was not in the crowd, so he whispered, "Ask my father."

The two sides met for a while, and after saluting in return, Liu Yu asked directly: "Where is Duyanghou, isn't he here?"

At this time, Wu Yuanheng, the young master next to him, took half a step forward, and after saluting, he said with a sad face: "The Marquis of Duyang just now bravely took the lead in the hunting ground, chasing and killing the fierce tiger. Hou was seriously injured and was being treated in the monarch's palace, and he was afraid he would die soon.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen if the sky is ruthless!If I knew this earlier, I would rather suffer instead of Du Yanghou! "

After finishing speaking, Uncle Gong next to him was about to step forward in an instant, but Wang Jian grabbed him without a trace. He still wanted to charge forward, but Wang Jian held him firmly, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, you This is death for nothing!"

Liu Yu reacted quickly, "Sigh, I didn't expect such an accident for a hero like Du Yanghou. Fortunately, his heir is still there, and it is also God's blessing. As the suzerain, I will definitely protect his heirs." .”

Now it was the turn of the person opposite to look ugly.
