Horse on the World

Chapter 687 Assassination

The streets that were originally as calm as before instantly became chaotic, crying and shouting, and crowds of wolves and rats were everywhere, two groups of soldiers formed a circle, with their guns pointing outwards, staring at the crowd vigilantly. In the center of the circle, Yuan Fang was standing with a knife in his hand, while holding a person tightly with his other hand. At this time, the upper half of the carriage had fallen apart, leaving only two wheels and a bottom plate scattered on the ground. The planks on the ground fell to the ground, and they were all made of iron plates. If it weren't for the extremely powerful eight-ox crossbow firing continuously, it would definitely be impossible to break through the car walls.

Yuan Fang's hands were trembling slightly, although his martial arts were extremely strong, but just now he used human power to forcibly shake the crossbow arrow, half of his body was still numb at this moment.On the floor, Shang Haibo struggled to sit up, straightened his clothes calmly, and even looked at Yuan Fang with a smile. From Youyan all the way to the capital, he has experienced countless assassinations, poisoning, and almost everything he can do. He had experienced all the methods of killing people along the way, but it was the first time that Yuan Fang was flustered by such a thrilling situation like today.

"The Overwatch Council is so crafty!" Yuan Fang smiled at Shang Haibo, "The eight-ox crossbow has actually moved to the capital. It's amazing. It seems that I won't stop until your life is taken. Old Shang, how do you feel?" Ba Niu crossbows have always been military weapons, they are strictly controlled, and private possession is strictly prohibited. When Li Qing was attacked by Ba Niu crossbows, it caused an uproar, which directly led to a drastic change in Li's family. Today is the first The second time, the eight-ox crossbow was once again used to kill a specific character.

The muscles on Shang Haibo's face twitched slightly, but he didn't answer.Yuan Fang was secretly happy. This time, Dingzhou invested a lot of money, so why not him? Along the way, he showed himself from time to time, attracting constant attacks from the Dingzhou Supervisory Council. With more and more methods, Shang Haibo's face became more and more ugly. From the beginning of arguing fiercely with himself to the current silence, it shows that the other party's psychology is changing little by little.Today is the opponent's last chance. Yuan Fang is sure that there will be a fierce battle. It is impossible for him to walk into the guest house calmly. He is also willing to give the opponent such a chance. First, he can destroy Shang Haibo's opponent again. Second, he can also use this opportunity to eliminate the staff of the Dingzhou Supervisory Council in Luoyang.

Now it seems that the goal has indeed been achieved. The only thing I didn't expect was that the opponent's attack was actually a special eight-ox crossbow made in Dingzhou, and I was in a hurry. Fortunately, I personally acted as a coachman to protect Shang Hai. Bo, otherwise things will explode, and they may really get their hands on it.

Pulling up the shaft with one hand, Yuan Fang strode forward with big strides. The soldiers around them maintained a circle and moved forward slowly. The crowd was still panicking, screaming, and running. The dead body stimulated everyone's senses, and made people's fears undeniable.

The crowd was surging, and the two soldiers in the circle suddenly let out a muffled grunt, and fell down, with two crossbow arrows sticking out between their chests and abdomen. Among the crowd rushing past him, there were assassins from Dingzhou mixed in with them. Under the cover of the panicked crowd, he shot two arrows and retreated safely.

"Little three and little four, keep an eye on them!" Yuan Fang said in a deep voice.

Two people dressed as soldiers stared at the crowd, and another soldier fell down with a scream. At the same time, a man jumped up from among the soldiers, like a big bird, and rushed towards a woman. The man flew to the top of her head, the woman's face showed panic, she raised her hand, and a series of crossbow arrows shot at the man.

The light of the knife flickered, and the sound of ding-ding continued, several crossbow arrows were shot down, the light of the knife flashed like a horse, the woman screamed, her head flew high, but it was a rough sound to hear the scream. Pole, obviously dressed up by a man.

The man who killed the assassin quickly retreated, Yuan Fang nodded, "Little San, you did a good job!"

Yuan Xiaosan and Yuan Xiaosi are Yuan Fang's soldiers, mixed among the guarding soldiers, the purpose is to protect Shang Haibo to reach his destination safely.

The guard soldiers fell to the ground from time to time, and from time to time an assassin was killed by Yuan Xiaosan and Yuan Xiaosi on the spot. After walking a distance of more than a hundred meters, more than a dozen guard soldiers fell down, which made the circle tighter and tighter. The fear on the faces of those soldiers became more and more intense.

Yuan Fang frowned slightly. This time the opponent's action was very unusual. Once the previous assassination was blocked, the opponent immediately retreated. But this time, the opponent has already died many people, but it seems that the opponent has not retreated at all. Meaning, this made Yuan Fang more vigilant. I am afraid that the most severe blow is yet to come. If the eight-ox crossbow is not counted, then where will the last blow be?

Another soldier fell down screaming. The black crossbow arrow tail was inserted between his chest and abdomen, and the arrow feathers were still trembling slightly. Yuan Xiaosan threw himself out again, this time his target was a hunched back with a full face. Wrinkles, like a homeless old man who will die at any moment.

Like all the previous assassins, when he saw that he was locked, the old man also showed panic. Yuan Xiaosan grinned, and cut off the steel knife in his hand without hesitation, just waiting for the head to shoot up into the sky.The previous experience told Yuan Xiaosan that what these assassins used was the cover of sharp crossbows and arrows in their hands and the people running in a panic. Once they locked their real bodies, their close combat ability was almost useless.

"Little San, be careful!" Yuan Xiaosi shouted in panic from behind.

Yuan Xiaosan was stunned, his hands shook, the steel knife that had been cut off was abruptly pushed away, and his fingers were in severe pain. Only then did he see that the look of panic on the face of the old man opposite him disappeared completely, replaced by a look of With a sneer, the other party was holding a long and narrow rapier less than a finger wide. After parrying his steel knife, the rapier slid down the steel knife and chopped off several fingers holding the knife.

There was a sharp pain, the steel knife fell to the ground with a bang, Yuan Xiaosan let out a wild roar, slipped sideways, kicked up with flying legs, the leg was still in the air, a sharp blade popped out from the toe of the boot, the target was exactly The opponent's lower abdomen.

"Fuck you!" Yuan Xiaosan heard the other party curse clearly in a low voice, and then he saw another crossbow tube in the other hand. There was a surge of drama, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

After killing Yuan Xiaosan, the assassin with a rapier in his hand kept silent. He raised his sword and charged at the guarding soldiers. Yuan Xiaosi roared in grief and rushed forward, fighting with the assassin. The assassin's martial arts The evil door is tight, there are no moves, every move is a desperate fight, when the fight gets close, he bumps his head and gnashes his teeth, like a street thug, it seems ridiculous, but his moves are deadly. Suddenly, Yuan Xiaosi was forced to panic.

"Master Yuan!" At this moment, Yuan Fang dragged the cart to the base of the drunk building, and the general surnamed Nie was running down the building.

"Nie Chun!" Yuan Fang called out.

"It's my subordinate, Lord Yuan, I've killed all the assassins on the drunk building!" He ran to Yuan Fang's side, and took the shaft of the car from Yuan Fang's hand, "My lord, I'll tow the cart!" Holding the shaft of the chariot, he ran forward. At this time, the people who followed Nie Chun immediately joined the ranks of protection.

Yuan Fang walked quickly with a knife in his hand. With Nie Chunlai towing the cart, he could devote himself wholeheartedly to protecting Shang Haibo. At this time, Yuan Fang felt a little regretful. Find a way to send Shang Haibo away first, instead of dragging him here to take risks. Although there is an element of demonstration to the other party, don't make it to the end.

"My lord Yuan, there is at most one stick of incense time before the Imperial City Guards will arrive. Don't be afraid that these crumbs will be trivial!" Nie Chun said loudly.

Yuan Fang snorted coldly, "Even now, am I afraid of them again?"

Nie Chun made a sudden slap, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

The sound of fighting in the distance is still going on, obviously the battle between Yuan Xiaosi and the opponent is not over yet.

After running forward for nearly a hundred meters, I could hear the crisp sound of the horses of the Royal Forest Army stepping on the stone slabs. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The number of people running around in this place has gradually decreased Many people were standing close to the wall, watching in panic as this group of blood-covered people rushed towards them, and in their field of vision, the cavalry team of the Imperial Forest Army had already appeared.

In front of a silk and satin factory, a carriage was parked there, and the groom who was leading the horse looked at their team in a daze, while a fat, white and clean middle-aged man was about to step into the carriage with one foot, with both hands Pulling the carriage's wall, looking back, his face was also full of shock.

For some reason, when Yuan Fang saw them for the first time, a sense of danger rose from the bottom of his heart. Before he could react, the rich middle-aged man who seemed stunned suddenly yelled loudly and clasped his hands hard. With a bang, he tore open the wall of the carriage. Inside the carriage, a cabinet full of black holes appeared in front of Yuan Fang, and behind the cabinet, a man grinned wildly, and said with a maniacal smile, "Go to hell!"

"Hundred-shot crossbow!" Yuan Fang exclaimed, and only heard a cracking sound, and the rain of arrows shot out like locusts.Yuan Fang turned pale with fright, he raised his foot violently, and stepped hard on the carriage that was running forward, the carriage was stepped on hard, and immediately turned over, Shang Haibo who was sitting on it immediately fell down, the floor of the carriage stood up, but It just became an excellent arrow shield, and the sound of snatching was endless. In an instant, it was unknown how many arrows were shot on it, and Nie Chun, who was pulling the cart, screamed and was shot like a hedgehog on the spot.The guarding soldiers rolled over and fell to the ground like they were cutting wheat.

In Dingzhou Procuratorate, in addition to the eight oxen crossbows, there are also hundreds of crossbows laying down here, and at this fatal moment, with the Imperial Forest Army close at hand, everyone can't help but feel relieved, and they are mentally relieved. In an instant of slack, the killing move came suddenly.

Hiding behind the carriage, Yuan Fang looked at Shang Haibo who was curled up in a ball under him. At this time, the opponent's face was also pale, and he couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, Nie Chun came to pull the cart instead of him. Otherwise, if he is still pulling the cart, then even if he can escape this round of killing with a crossbow, Shang Haibo in the cart will definitely die.

"Catch the Assassin!" The shouts of the Imperial Forest Army were clearly audible, and the sound of horseshoes was getting closer. Yuan Fang carefully poked his head out from behind the carriage, and the three people who launched the lore on the opposite side were nowhere to be seen.At this moment, they had already disappeared without a trace.

The cavalry arrived like flying, and surrounded Yuan Fang and the others. At this moment, Yuan Xiaosi also rushed over covered in blood. Hanging loosely on the body.

"It took so long to kill the other party?" Yuan Fang looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

A look of shame appeared on Yuan Xiaosi's face, "Master Yuan, I'm sorry, I let him escape!"

"Run away?" Yuan Fang looked at the other party in surprise.

"But I got stabbed at the key point, so I can't run far. Someone has already chased him down. I miss you, so I came here." Yuan Xiaosi said in a low voice.

Yuan Fang's face turned pale, "Do you recognize who the other party is?"

Yuan Xiaosi nodded: "I didn't know him at first, but after fighting for a long time, the opponent's disguise gradually fell off, and Luoyang Bokuai recognized that person as Ximen Qing, the number one thug in Yinhook Casino."

"Silver Hook Casino!" Yuan Fang's face turned cold, "Flying Eagle Gang? Immediately lead someone to wipe him out, and arrest all those related to him, Hu Dong, right? So you are from the Dingzhou Supervisory Council Spy, hey, it's really well hidden!"

"The last general will do it!" Yuan Xiaosi took a glance to confirm that it was safe now, then turned and hurried away.

Yuan Fang put the knife back into its sheath, and helped Shang Haibo from the ground, "Brother Shang was shocked. Now we are safe, Brother Shang can put his heart in his stomach. When we arrive at the guest house, I will buy wine and help Brother Shang to suppress the shock. "

Shang Haibo's face was sallow. Although he had commanded thousands of troops and horses in the past, he had never experienced such a blood-splattered scene, "You have finally achieved your goal. Dingzhou is in Luoyang. You're about to uproot the foundation of your life!"

Yuan Fang laughed loudly, "It's absurd. From the looks of it, Dingzhou has a lot of thorns in Luoyang. This battle will hurt them at most. I really want to kill the grass..." Yuan Fang shook his head, "Then It's that simple, but it's enough, at least for a few years, they won't be able to make any big waves again."

A group of people hugged Shang Haibo, Yuan Fang and others rode away.

In the distance, on top of a tall building, Hu Dong was holding a jug of wine, pouring himself a drink, while watching the bloody fights on the street in the distance, seeing Shang Haibo being taken away, Hu Dong shook his head, and said to himself authentically : "Although it's expected, I'm still very disappointed, this guy's life is really good!"

There was a crackling sound on the stairs, and Ximen Qing appeared in front of him covered in blood, "How about it?" Hu Dong asked.

Ximen Qing hissed and gasped, "The idea is sharp, if I hadn't been prepared, that knife would have killed me."

"You are content, Yuan Xiaosan and Yuan Xiaosi, Yuan Fang's famous gold-medal fighters, you killed one, injured another, and you can still come back with your life, not bad."

"Master Hu, what should we do now?" While taking off the bloody clothes on his body, Ximen Qing pulled a bag from Hu Dong's side, pulled out some clothes from it to put on, and brought a bucket of water from the corner to scrub Blood on face and hands.

"What should we do? Run for your life!" Hu Dong smiled wryly. He had worked so hard in Luoyang for so many years, and within a day, it was wiped out.

"What about the rest of the brothers?" Ximen Qing lifted the jug from the table and took a big gulp.

"The brothers who have been exposed are either dead or have run away. Those who are left behind are people who don't know the inside story. It doesn't matter if Qian is not them. They will be locked up for a few days at most and suffer a little. No matter how they investigate, they can't find out. I think he has too much to do with us."

Ximen Qing nodded, "I'm relieved, but Mr. Hu, now Luoyang must be digging three feet to find us, and the city gate can't get out. Where are we going?"

Hu Dong laughed, "I'll take you to a place that's absolutely safe."

Xie Ke is now a member of the military department in the Luoyang court. He is a dignified fifth-rank official and has his own small house in Juxiang Street. There are many high-ranking officials on Juxiang Street. There are many people like him. It is also very inconspicuous, a small courtyard is mixed in the high gate courtyard, and there are only a few old servants and two maids at home.

Today is the day when Shang Haibo entered the city. Xie Ke has been fidgeting since he came back from the yamen. When the lights came on, a family member who was outside inquiring about the news rushed in. When he saw him, Xie Ke stood up, "Why?" Sample?"

The servant shook his head, his face was full of disappointment, "There were heavy casualties, but Shang Haibo still entered the guest house safely. Our foundation in Luoyang suffered heavy losses this time. They were all arrested."

"Where's Master Hu?"

"Master Hu must have run away." The servant said.

Xie Ke said dejectedly: "I knew this was the result. I knew that I couldn't do anything, but I became a son. This stubborn donkey with a beard didn't listen to my advice, and insisted on losing troops and generals, wasting manpower for nothing."

"Master Hu can't help it. Since he received the military order, he has to do it. It's a pity. I heard that there is only a short line. If you are lucky, you can complete the task!"

"Missing by a tiny bit, you can miss by a thousand miles!" Xie Ke shook his head and said.

Suddenly there was a soft bang in the yard, Xie Ke and the servant raised their heads at the same time, and the servant took out a short blade from his waist, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door.

"Xie Dong, open the door, it's me!" A soft shout came from outside.

"It's Lord Hu!" the servant exclaimed in surprise.

The door was opened, and Hu Dong walked in with Ximen Qing, "Ximen Qing, today you killed Yuan Xiaosan and injured Yuan Xiaosi!" Hu Dong pointed to the man with the scar on his face, and said to the servant: "Your knife Take it away, don't face him, my brother!"

Seeing Hu Dong, Xie Ke said happily: "Thank God, I finally let you escape here."

Hu Dong chuckled, "A good person doesn't live long, and a scourge lasts for thousands of years. A villain like me will die easily, but from today onwards, I will eat and drink yours!"

Xie Ke laughed and said, "Although Xie is poor, he can still afford to support you."
