Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 99: Another Assassination (Please recommend a ticket)
"Your Highness! Everything is ready, shall we go back to Chang'an?" Cheng Wuting asked.

"Don't worry, I've ordered someone to notify Di Renjie and Li Yifu. After they arrive, it won't be too late for us to return to Chang'an." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Cheng Wu agreed.

"Your Highness! Shaoqing Di Renjie of Dali Temple, Li Yifu and others have arrived." Cheng Wuting had just finished speaking when the guards reported.

I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here, I just said they are coming, and they will be here so soon.

"Let them in." Li Chengqian shouted outside.

"No!" The guard took the order and retreated, followed by the sound of footsteps outside, and then the door was opened.

Di Renjie, Li Yifu and others filed in and saluted Li Chengqian: "Your Highness!"

"The widow is planning to go back to Beijing! You are exhausted, do you need to rest here for a day before leaving?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty, please take care of me! There is no need to rest, we can go back to Beijing immediately!" Li Yifu said.

"Okay, how about you?" Li Chengqian asked the others.

Li Yifu's reluctance to rest does not mean that other people are not tired. As a prince, he can't favor one person over another. Others also need to be taken care of.

"We're not tired. There are still others who haven't arrived. I think it's better to wait for them, and it won't be too late to start." Di Renjie said.

"Alright!" Li Chengqian nodded and agreed with Di Renjie.

Everyone waited for others to meet at the inn, and soon Xu Jingzong and others came one after another, and after a short rest, they set off for Chang'an.

In the central county, in a teahouse, on the second floor by the window, there are four people wearing bamboo hats sitting at a table.

The white gauze on the bamboo hats blocked their faces, making it impossible to see their faces clearly, only knowing that they were three men and one woman.

These four people were the assassins sent by Wu Weiliang and others to assassinate Li Chengqian.

"Boss, the target has already left the city!" A person came up from downstairs, looked around the entire second floor, found the four of them, and came to them to report.

"Where did you go!" the female leader asked.

"Chang'an!" the visitor said.

"Come on, let's intercept and kill them on the way." One of the male leaders said.

There are city guards in the city, and there are too many people here, which is not conducive to their assassination, so they changed their original plan and intercepted and killed Li Chengqian and others outside the city.

After these people followed Li Chengqian and others for a distance, away from the central county, they began to attack Li Chengqian and others.

"whoosh"

Suddenly, there were arrows shooting from both sides of the road, and Cheng Wuting and others hurriedly waved their weapons to block.

"Not good! There is an enemy attack! Hurry up and escort!" Cheng Wuting and the others were shocked!

Hundreds of figures on the left and right rushed towards them, and everyone hurriedly gathered around the carriage.

Wang Fangyi reached out to pick up the bow and arrow, opened the bow and set the arrow, and shot towards the enemy who was killed.

Wang Fangyi shot six arrows in an instant, and the arrows hit the invading assassin. Even so, they couldn't stop the assassin's actions.

"Bocheng, the two of you lead a team to stay on defense to protect the prince and everyone, while Cheng Wuting, Xingjian and I will kill the enemy." Wang Fangyi assigned everyone's responsibilities in an instant.

"Okay!" Long Zhi, Cheng Wuting and others responded.

They immediately formed a team and followed Wang Fangyi to attack the rushing assassin.

The two sides fought in an instant, Wang Fangyi had the advantage in overall force, and the assassin had the advantage in numbers.

For a moment, no one can do anything to the other, maintaining a balance.

Over time, there will inevitably be a party that is weak, and when the time comes, the strong party will be able to win an overwhelming victory.

The four assassin leaders stood side by side in the woods, watching their fight from the shadows.

"Who are these people? Their strength is impressive. If we didn't have the advantage in numbers, we might not be able to take them down." A leader on the left said.

"I don't know, the lord only asked us to assassinate the person in the carriage, and didn't explain the identity of the other party, let alone know that the guard of the other party has such a good skill." The companion beside him shook his head and said.

"I'm afraid even the lord doesn't know who this person is! I heard that it is someone from the palace, let the lord do this." The companion on the right said.

"Don't say these things are useless, let's stop watching here, get rid of them as soon as possible, go back and report to the lord, so as not to have long nights and dreams." The female leader said and rushed out.

Although it is far away from the central county, it is still the boundary of Fangzhou after all. If someone finds out, their assassination plan will come to nothing.

When the time comes, how will I explain to my lord when I go back? This time when they come out, the lord will give me a thousand and one answers, and I can only succeed!
The three followed closely and rushed towards Pei Xingjian. They found that Pei Xingjian was the weakest among Wang Fangyi and Cheng Wuting.

Persimmons should be picked softly. In the eyes of the four of them, this Pei Xingjian is undoubtedly the best soft persimmon.

A cold light flashed, the knife slashed across an assassin's throat, and hot blood gushed out from the wound, splashing blood all over Pei Xingjian's face.

Looking at the four people who killed him, Pei Xingjian understood that the other party treated him as a soft persimmon.

Pei Xingjian was not afraid! On the contrary, he was a little elated, and raised his knife to kill the four assassin leaders, chopping several times.

Pei Xingjian forced the assassin leaders back, and one of them almost died under Pei Xingjian's knife. Fortunately, his companion reacted in time, and if he helped him, he would have become a corpse now.

The four of them turned pale with shock! They thought to themselves: Why is the opponent so strong.

In fact, it's not that Pei Xingjian is too strong, but that the four of them are too weak, so naturally they won't be Pei Xingjian's opponents.

The four of them teamed up, and if they didn't want to die, they would lose both sides, and maybe even kill Pei Xingjian.

At this time, the four of them were already thinking of retreating. It didn't matter whether they could kill the person in front of them. The important thing was that they were still alive.

The four of them stared at Pei Xingjian and retreated slowly. The surrounding assassins immediately rushed up and killed Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian brandished the Mo Dao in his hand, beheaded the two assassins on the spot, and stepped back to avoid the knife coming from the right.

He slashed to the left with a backhand, and slashed on the knife chopped by the assassin on the left.

A sharp arrow shot from behind Pei Xingjian, stuck close to his ear, and shot into the hands of the four assassins, killing one of the assassin leaders.

In front of the carriage, Long Zhi held a bow in his hand, and the trembling bowstring proved that he was the one who shot the arrow that killed the assassin leader just now.

"What should we do now?" Seeing her companion being shot dead, the female leader felt a little guilty!
"The three of us go back to the woods first. We brought a lot of people, and if we grind slowly, we can grind them to death." One of them said.

The female leader and another leader agreed to his proposal, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the woods.

Seeing this, Long Zhi immediately raised his bow and arrow again, and shot three arrows at the leader of the assassins. Because the distance was too far, and they had already prepared themselves.

The three arrows shot by Long Zhi failed.
