Horse on the World

Chapter 129 Assassination
On weekends, a small outbreak, ha ha!

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Yang Yidao outside the hall heard Li Qing's angry roar and Lin Zhengyin's ruthless words, and almost wanted to draw his sword and rush in. Tang Hu's eyes were wide open, his face was flushed, and he looked like a trapped animal. Turning around in place, if Yang Yidao hadn't pulled him hard, he would have almost rushed into the lobby.

A beautiful figure flashed in front of him, but Qingfeng rushed out crying, Yang Yidao signaled Tang Hu to stay where he was, and he ran out following Qingfeng, "Director Qingfeng, slow down!" he yelled.

Li Qing strode out with a dark face, "Let's go!" He shouted angrily, and never looked back at the Lin family.

Stepping into the carriage, Qingfeng huddled in a corner, her whole body huddled into a ball, her body trembling constantly, Li Qing looked at her silently, but didn't know where to start to say comforting words.

"Marshal, let's go!" Yang Yidao said softly.Immediately, the car body shook slightly, and the hooves sounded loudly, and the group of people embarked on the return journey in silence.

Li Qing hugged Qingfeng from the corner of the carriage into his arms, and gently patted her on the back.

"General, Yun Xi is really going to die this time and come back again." Qingfeng raised his face, and tears rolled down his face.

"Yunxi is dead, but Qingfeng is still alive, and will live a better and more exciting life, let that old man take a look." Li Qing gritted his teeth and said.

"He is my grandfather!"

"Such a person, you still recognize him as a grandfather, damn it!" Li Qing spat hard.

Qingfeng was silent, and leaned her head on Li Qing's chest. From then on, the only thing she could rely on was this broad chest. Feeling the trembling of the woman in her arms, Li Qing sighed silently, and hugged him tightly. tight.The Lin family refused to recognize Qingfeng back, and their thoughts of marrying the Ming media were completely in vain.

Some jolting carriages stopped suddenly, and Li Qing suddenly felt a little strange, "What's the matter, a knife?" He asked.

"General, I feel very bad, as if someone is spying on us." Yang Yidao replied intently.Zhong Jing on the other side of the carriage also drew out a dagger, "General, I feel the same way."

Li Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he himself felt this way too. Those of them who came back from the battlefield always had a natural intuition for danger.

"Back!" Li Qing said softly.

However, at the moment when the carriage started to retreat, there was a voice in the air that was extremely familiar to everyone present, yet extremely terrified. "Eight Bullbow!" Yang Yidao exclaimed.

Without hesitation, Li Qing realized that the target must be the carriage, and it must be himself. He grabbed Qingfeng and slammed into the wall of the carriage sideways. With a bang, the thin wall of the carriage was smashed, and Li Qing and Qingfeng fell out of the carriage. Almost at the same time, The arrow body of the Baoxu crossbow, which was as thick as a child's arm, passed before their eyes, and the carriage was immediately smashed to pieces by the huge impact of the Baoxu crossbow. With a cry, the body was shot out, and after the strong force of the eight-ox crossbow penetrated the guard's chest, it continued to fly forward and fell into the darkness.

"Tang Hu protects the Marshal!" Yang Yidao shouted, and he pulled his horse and rushed forward.In an instant, the guards around Li Qing formed two human walls, firmly blocking Li Qing behind him.

Once again, the familiar sound of twisting strings sounded in the darkness, and Li Qing shouted: "Everyone rush up to stop the eight-ox crossbow from firing. Zhong Jing, retreat with the breeze." When the guards heard Li Qing's order, without hesitation, With a cry, he rushed forward with Yang Yidao, Li Qing drew out his waist knife, and wanted to follow suit, but Tang Hu grabbed him tightly, "General, we will not die, it is not our turn You go. You said so."

There was a whizzing sound in the air, "Crossbow arrows!" The person who plotted against him was so vicious, he not only used the eight-ox crossbow, a military heavy weapon, but even had the regular crossbow arrows in the army. It is because the crossbow arrows are extremely powerful in a short distance, and there is no way to dodge them, so it is absolutely beneficial to use them for assassination.The guards who were caught off guard were shot down one after another. Li Qing felt great hatred. How could he have thought that he would be assassinated to such a degree in the capital? It is possible to save their lives, but it is impossible for them to survive now wearing only thin clothes.

Yang Yidao was extremely brave. He had two crossbow arrows stuck in his body, one on each of his left arm and right leg. He was still yelling and moving forward with the sword, just protecting his vitals. Seeing this scene, Tang Hu yelled, He also drew his sword and rushed forward, "Marshal, be careful!"

Li Qing heard a click in his ears, and felt a chill in his heart. This was the sound of Ba Niu crossbow being loaded again.

Just when Li Qing secretly thought that something was wrong, there was the sound of a strong bow piercing through the air, the screams in the darkness, the sound of a heavy human body falling to the ground, and the extremely dense crossbow bolts were instantly missed. The two of Tang seized this rare opportunity, raised their swords and killed them. When Li Qing heard the sound of a strong bow piercing the air, he had already judged the target of the arrow. Overjoyed, he raised his sword and ran away At this moment, the two remaining guards rushed into the opposite crowd at this moment. These soldiers who came down from the battlefield finally showed their ability to seize every opportunity.

The knife pierced into the flesh, screaming, the assassin on the opposite side was not a good fighter, in a moment, he was killed by four people, and with a whistle, they fled one by one.Tang Hu roared furiously and wanted to give chase, Li Qing shouted: "Come back!" Tang Hu turned his head puzzled, but saw Li Qing's eyes staring at the few people who were nailed to the ground by a feathered arrow. Assassins, these assassins were all shot by arrows in their thighs. The arrows were so powerful that they pierced through their thighs and nailed them to the ground. When they saw a few blood-soaked people turning their heads towards them, they couldn't help but The soul flew away, and there was a deep sense of fear in his eyes.

"That friend, draw your sword to help, please leave your name, Li Qing will definitely reciprocate!" Li Qing shouted towards the direction where the strong bow was shot.

A chuckle came from the darkness: "General Li, you owe me a favor." Amidst the laughter, a burst of broken footsteps quickly went away, and soon there was no sound.

Yang Yidao and Tang Hu gathered around Li Qing vigilantly, while the other two searched separately and returned after confirming that they were safe. "Quickly, look at the brothers, are there any alive?"

Several people came to the side of the fallen bodyguard one after another, checked briefly, and raised their heads in disappointment, watching Li Qing shake his head slightly, Li Qing bit his lip, and the hand holding the knife became tighter and tighter, the eight-ox crossbow, the army Looking at these murderous weapons scattered on the ground, there was a fierce light in his eyes. Who actually knew where he was going to go tonight, and set up such an appalling battle here, and wanted to kill himself before he could, Xiao Yuanshan?Qu Yongjie?Or people from other families, and only those in the army, or wealthy families, can have these powerful weapons.In the blink of an eye, Li Qing had already changed several thoughts.

"When people are tied up, these things must be taken away!" Li Qing ordered.

There was a burst of footsteps and fire from the end of the street, and a large group of people rushed towards, "Luoyang Inspection Department, who is here?" A voice came from the opposite side.

"General Dingzhou Li Qing, Master Li, who is here?" Yang Yidao asked sharply, while several personal guards stood in front of Li Qing.

"Ah!" The other person was obviously very surprised, "General Li Qing, inspector Zhou Ping of Luoyang Inspection Department."

He hurried to the front, Zhou Ping almost fainted from the tragic scene in front of him, the four of them were covered in blood, and the two women behind them were also pale.

"This, this, what's going on here?" Zhou Ping asked stammeringly.

Yang Yidao walked up to him and showed his guards, "What's the matter, I was going to ask you? How did you patrol, and let the assassin calmly arrange the eight-ox crossbow and the forbidden objects like the strong crossbow here? It hurt our general, and we will ask your inspection department to give us an explanation for these dead brothers when they turn around."

"My lord general, this, this is none of our business, we don't know!" Zhou Ping yelled that he was wronged, Luoyang is such a big place, how could they be able to cover everything from the inspectors.

"Okay, okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, now you help clean up here, the living assassins, these crossbows, and my dead bodyguards, all will be sent to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion with me." Li Qing said impatiently.

"Yes, but my lord, according to the law, these evidences must be sent to the Inspection Department or Luoyang Mansion."

Yang Yidao choked and pulled out half of it, "My general asked you to send you to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, didn't you hear?"

"I heard it, I heard it!" Zhou Ping suddenly shortened by half, turned around, and ordered his subordinates loudly, "Didn't you hear what the general said? Send these to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion."

When the servants of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion saw Li Qing, Yang Yidao and others covered in blood, they came forward in shock. After a while, the whole Marquis Mansion was in a hurry, and so was the Duke Anguo Mansion not far away. There was a rush, and soon, An Guogong Li Huaiyuan, and Shouning Hou Li Tuizhi who was further away all gathered in the Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

Li Qing's face was livid, and the twelve dead bodyguards were covered with white cloths, and they were lined up in the courtyard. On the other side, the killers who had been captured alive were all ashen-faced, and they collapsed on the ground one by one.

"My lord, please spare me, we didn't know that the target we wanted to kill was you!" Apparently, the killers only knew their target at this time, and when they saw the person arriving at the Marquis of Weiyuan, the people rushing over one after another were all Only then did the senior officials realize the horror of the matter.
