Yipin Tang

Chapter 86
"Ding!"

The scimitar was blocked by a dagger when it was less than half a meter away from Changsun Wuji's neck, and it was Aqinu, the usually inconspicuous maid who followed Ju Yiya.

The Turkic Assassin was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect a maid to have such skill, but there was no pause in his hands.

"Tie Dan, help me!"

Wang Xiang yelled, Tie Dan reacted with anger on his face, and strode towards the Turkic assassin with his weapon in hand.

The weapon in his hand is a gigantic ax that Wang Xiang asked someone to forge for him. Cheng Chuliang needed both hands to barely wield it, but Tie Dan was able to wield it with ease. After matching it, I felt a huge shock in the tiger's mouth, and I was terrified, knowing that I couldn't match it.

He intends to bypass Tie Dan and take Changsun Wuji's life, but there is a nimble Aqinu beside him, Changsun Wuji has already retreated to the rear, and it is impossible to hurt him again.

The assassin was also decisive, he left Changsun Wuji behind, turned around and went to kill Ju Yiya.

Just when Wang Xiang was worried about that tsundere foodie princess, she unhurriedly drew out the dagger at her waist and fought with the assassin. She didn't lose the wind in a short time, which made Wang Xiang puzzled for a while. , he always thought that Ju Yiya's short sword hanging around her waist was just a decoration...

Cheng Chuliang and the guards of the imperial army heard the movement and also noticed the changes in the rear. They were anxious but could not escape. The combat power of these Turkic bandits greatly exceeded their estimates, and only six people were killed until now.

Fortunately, they seemed to be very confident about the assassins rushing to the rear of the caravan, so they didn't split up their men to go towards the caravan, but joined forces to surround and kill the five of Cheng Chuliang.

Ju Yiya also has good skills, and the situation was quickly reversed. The Turkic Assassin himself was in danger. If it wasn't for his flexible skills, he would have been killed by the iron egg. about to flee.

Aqinu and Ju Yiya didn't dare to chase them out, it would be dangerous if someone rushed to the rear of the caravan while they were chasing them out.

Tie Dan was tricked by the assassin just now and almost hurt the caravan. How can he let him go at this time, he shouted angrily and threw the giant ax in his hand, the assassin just ran a few steps on horseback and heard the whistling sound behind him Immediately startled, he rolled straight down from the horse's back. The horse was forcibly split in two by the giant ax thrown by Tie Dan, and the giant ax split the horse's body and smashed it into the ground heavily.

Before the assassin landed, he couldn't get up before his eyes went dark, and Tie Dan's huge fist hit him face to face.

"Keep him alive!"

Changsun Wuji yelled anxiously, but Tie Dan's fist had already landed. Although he was unarmed, half of the assassin's head had been dented by the beating, so he definitely couldn't survive.

It has been a long time since the assassin came back and the Turkic gangsters felt that something was wrong, and Cheng Chuliang and the other five were really powerful, more than ten people had been beheaded, so they thought of retreating.

Cheng Chuliang and the others did not pursue, but quickly returned to the rear. When the four imperial guards saw the horse corpse split in half and the deformed Turkic assassin whose head was smashed, a look of shock flashed across their faces.

"My lord, Zixin, are you all right?" Cheng Chuliang asked.

Changsun Wuji shook his head and suddenly pointed at Ma Wenxin who had been stunned for a long time and shouted: "Take this person down!"

"My lord, I was also arrested by those Turks." Ma Wenxin hurriedly begged for mercy.

At this time, Changsun Wuji did not dare to be careless, these Turkic people were not ordinary gangsters at all, they came for him, or for Ju Yiya.

Although it was extremely dangerous just now, Changsun Wuji still noticed the assassin's choice. First, he tried his best to assassinate himself, and then turned to assassinate Ju Yiya when he couldn't do anything. It can be seen that his target was himself and Ju Yiya. If the assassination failed, he retreated decisively. Definitely the style of an assassin or killer.

It's a pity that Tie Dan failed to survive, but Changsun Wuji didn't blame him. After all, it was thanks to Tie Dan and others that they saved their lives. Now only Ma Wenxin is the breakthrough.

Encountered such a thing, Changsun Wuji did not dare to let the caravan stay here for a long time, the assassins could come once, and they would come a second time, and after Cheng Chuliang came back, he told him about the strangeness of these Turkic bandits, Changsun Wuji was even more sure This was a premeditated assassination.

As a result, it is no easy task to go to Gaochang. Only by rushing to the frontier town as soon as possible and sending someone back to Chang'an to explain the situation to Li Er, and there will be Tang's garrison guards at the border town, can the safety of the caravan be guaranteed. .

During the three consecutive days of rushing, everyone was worried all the way. Fortunately, the binoculars provided by Wang Xiang allowed the caravan to notice the movement in the distance at any time. When they saw the city wall of Huaiyuan Town, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Huaiyuan Town is just a small town, because it is located on the border, the city walls are built very high, and there are soldiers patrolling above.

Changsun Wuji showed his identity token, and not long after, the general of the guarding army came to greet him in person.

The defending general was a bearded man named Zhang Kuishan. When he heard that Changsun Wuji was coming, he immediately came out to greet him. Generals like him basically had no chance to meet such a big man as Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji told Zhang Kuishan about being attacked by Turkic assassins on the road, and Zhang Kuishan's expression immediately turned ugly. Master Sikong's assassination was not a trivial matter, but fortunately nothing happened, otherwise, he, the general of the border town, would be regarded as the end , If not, there will be a prison sentence.

After arranging accommodation for the caravan, Zhang Kuishan arranged a team of soldiers to guard their safety. As for the Turkic bandits fleeing outside, he was powerless. On the contrary, it is easy to be lost in the hands of Turkic bandits. If there are too many guards in the town, it will be empty. If someone takes advantage of the situation, it will be a great crime.

Changsun Wuji didn't expect Zhang Kuishan to take down those Turkic assassins. He wrote a letter to Zhang Kuishan to send someone to Chang'an quickly, and asked him to strengthen the town's defense. He had a vague premonition that Huaiyuan Town might not be safe either.

Zhang Kuishan didn't understand Changsun Wuji's worries. In his opinion, although there were some thieves and bandits around Huaiyuan Town, Huaiyuan Town's city walls were tall and its defense resources were sufficient, so those thieves and bandits would not dare to invade.

The people in the caravan were exhausted from the continuous journey for the past few days, and they all went to rest after hastily eating the meals prepared by Zhang Kuishan. Only Changsun Wuji, Cheng Chuliang and Wang Xiang did not rest.

At this time, Ma Wenxin looked completely down and haggard, without a trace of the four great talents in Luoyang. He took the bowl of food Wang Xiang handed him and swallowed it. He knew that there must be many questions after the meal, etc. look at yourself.
