wealthy lord

Chapter 139 A bolt from the blue
  The Ouchi guards jumped up, rushed out from their horses, and fought with the men in black.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

The leader of the men in black came to the sedan and opened the curtain, only to see that it was empty and there was no trace of Cui Mingchong at all. This made him secretly scream that something was wrong.

He immediately looked around at the chaotic battlefield, looking for Cui Mingchong's figure.

But except for his own people, they were all guards wearing the uniforms of imperial guards, so he couldn't find Cui Mingchong at all.

At this time, Qi Rui was the first to realize that the man in black holding a broken bamboo tube should be the leader. He immediately rushed up with a knife and slashed it down with all his strength.

The leader of the men in black rolled all the way and turned over to avoid the blow.

But Qi Rui is very skilled in martial arts, so how can he be allowed to resist?

The saber in his hand was slashed diagonally with his backhand, directly slicing the right arm of the leader of the man in black, and blood immediately spilled out.

"Hmph! This dog officer Qiu Guangri is really brave. He dares to assassinate the imperial envoy! Why don't you just surrender? You can still avoid the death penalty!"

The leader of the men in black gritted his teeth secretly, his heart sinking to the bottom.

After listening to Qi Rui's words, he finally understood that their assassination plan today had been leaked.

He also knew that it was almost impossible to complete the task because he had not yet found Cui Mingchong's shadow.

After thinking about it, the leader of the men in black came up with a plan. He immediately stood up and said loudly: "Stop it!!"

A loud shout made everyone stop, including the Ouchi guards, and look this way.

Qi Rui sneered and said: "You are wise! Order them all to put down their weapons!"

The leader of the men in black was very obedient and said: "Put down your weapons!"

The men in black had almost no damage from the battle, and they were all dumbfounded. They didn't understand why the boss suddenly gave up.

However, although they are killers, they are all very afraid of death. Now that the boss has spoken, they all chose to put down their weapons.

This made Qi Rui and others secretly relieved, and at the same time they were also curious, why are these killers so obedient?
  Although I felt something was wrong, I couldn't guess why.

As everyone knows, on a tree not far away, Oona has already had a panoramic view of everything.

Especially when she saw that Cui Mingchong actually listened to her words and did not ride in the sedan chair, she felt proud in her heart.

The other party was an imperial minister of the Daduan Dynasty, but he was willing to listen to the advice of his barbarian soldier!

But it is also understandable that Oona's advice was for the sake of Cui Mingchong's life after all.

At this moment, Oona was looking at the battlefield attentively. She knew better than anyone why the leader of the men in black agreed to surrender.

It was just a deliberate attempt to make these high-minded Ouchi guards relax their vigilance. The moment Cui Mingchong showed up, he would immediately pull the bamboo gun in his hand and directly kill Cui Mingchong.

But now that Oona is here, how can he let his vicious plan succeed?
  "Old fool, if you were smart enough, you wouldn't show your face!"

She has been watching the battle from the tree and is the most aware of the dynamics of the battlefield. Therefore, she has been looking for Cui Mingchong's location for a long time.

Just as he was talking, Cui Mingchong, who was hiding in the crowd, walked out.

After all, he is an imperial envoy. Seeing that there is no danger, he can no longer hide behind, otherwise it will really become a joke.

Seeing this, Oona screamed secretly, and immediately took out the bamboo gun that Lin Yun gave her, and pointed the gun at the leader of the man in black. As long as he made any move to raise the gun, Oona would not do it. A hesitant shot.

Here, Cui Mingchong walked out of the crowd, and the surrounding guards immediately made way.

Cui Mingchong looked proud and asked, "Are you the ones sent by Qiu Guangri to murder me?"

The leader of the men in black showed a meaningful smile and said: "As expected of the Imperial Envoy, you really have some tricks to avoid our first round of assassinations! However, I am very curious, where did the Imperial Envoy get the news? ?”

The leader of the men in black was not stupid. He naturally saw the problem. He asked this question so that he could have an explanation after Cui Ming was killed.

After all, a leak would be a disaster for all of them. Cui Mingchong sneered: "Don't rush to ask questions, answer my questions first!"

He must also make these killers admit it personally, and then he can legitimately take revenge on Qiu Guangri.

The leader of the man in black thought that the overall situation was settled, so he relaxed his guard and nodded: "That's right! If you want to blame, blame the imperial envoy for doing something wrong! It's not good for you to offend anyone, but you want to be disrespectful to Lord Qiu. This is where you are today. Your burial place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the men in black showed murderous intent. He raised his bamboo gun and pointed it at Cui Mingchong.

The guards around him were dumbfounded. They didn't understand why the leader of the man in black was so crazy. Was he planning to kill people with the broken bamboo tube in his hand?

Even Cui Mingchong and Qi Rui were stunned.

But they had no idea how terrifying the bamboo gun was.

At the critical moment, Oona on the tree fired ahead of time, and a fiery snake shot out from the black barrel of the bamboo gun. The scattered ammunition directly sifted the leader of the man in black.

Even the men in black and even the Ouchi guards who were close to him were seriously injured by the sprayed ammunition.

Everything happened in an instant, and the leader of the man in black stared angrily. He never dreamed that he would be attacked by someone.

Eventually he fell to the ground and died.

The thunderous sound still echoed through the forest path.

It was so frightening that all the birds, animals, insects and fish all around were flying away.

Cui Mingchong and Qi Rui looked in the direction of the sound.

But he only saw a black shadow, which disappeared in a flash.

The purpose of Oona's trip was to follow Lin Yun's order and kill the gun-wielding killer, and her mission was successfully completed.

As for the other killers, they all use ordinary swords, and they are no match for these Ouchi guards at all.

Qi Rui reacted quickly. Although he didn't see clearly who was hiding in the dark, he knew it must be a friendly force.

So, no longer focusing on this, shouted loudly: "Kill all these bastards!"

The morale of the Ouchi guards was greatly boosted, and they immediately took action.

Cui Mingchong suddenly said: "Don't kill them all, but leave one person behind. I want him to return to Beijing!"

Only then did everyone take action.

Because of the death of the leader of the men in black, these killers completely lost their backbone. Some wanted to pick up the waist knives on the ground and fight again, but some had already fled in panic.

Soon they were all killed.

After clearing the battlefield, Qi Rui picked up the bamboo gun in the hands of the leader of the men in black. He didn't know what it was, but he roughly guessed it was some kind of deadly hidden weapon.

"Sir, this thing should be a hidden weapon!"

With that said, he handed it to Cui Mingchong.

Cui Mingchong held it in his hand and accidentally pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

There was an explosion and flames shot into the sky, startling everyone present.

Qi Rui squatted directly on the ground.

This is an instinctive reaction. They have seen thunder, but they have never felt thunder at such a close distance.
