Chapter 23 Hunting

"Hey hey! Such a joke doesn't seem to be funny at all, everyone!"

When the Genoa delegation left the palace, at this moment, Justinian, who was alone, was standing in a quiet and inconspicuous alley, was surrounded by a group of people. In front and behind, these people who had never seen before, were holding short swords that were easy to use at close range. Even afterwards, Justinian realized that this was clearly a trap.

But whether this is what Andrea Doria himself or what others do, is what Justinian cares most now. Although the silver cup seems to have proved everything, he really can't think of what the intention of the man who tried so much to help him now turned against him but refused to admit his conscience.

There must be something strange about this matter!

Making up his mind, Justinian pretended to be calm and dealt with the killers surrounding him, while using the corner of his eyes to observe whether there was a chance to escape. After all, no matter how confident he is in himself, he is not sure to deal with so many people at once.

"He has only one person, quickly deal with him, and there is no extra time left for you." In the darkness, a man who could not see his face gave a cold order, obviously he had to ask Justinian for his life.

However, although the other party deliberately did not show up, the man's name and his voice just now had let Justinian know the other party's identity.

"It turns out it's Mr. Charles, it's been a long time since I saw you! But I can't bear this kind of meeting gift. But I think Andrea's invitation shouldn't be able to receive me in this way, right? Can you tell me what's going on?" Justinian asked meaningfully at the man standing in the corner of the dark alley. In the past few words, he had already fought with the killer who rushed up several times, and the sound of the swords was crisp and pleasant. If the Turkic escorts were not assured that Justinian had gone alone to take Justinian's hunting knife with him, he would have died.

In the darkness, only a cold snorted when he responded to Justinian, and he didn't know whether the other party was disdainful or accused. On the other side, the killers who surrounded him for a while moved closer. Although the fight just now made them deeply afraid of the young man in front of them, the killer-like courage in their bones would not make them take a step back.

Seeing this, Justinian had to shrugge and said, "Okay, since this is the case, it seems that there is no way. Then don't worry about my subordinates being merciless." After that, the young man who opened his eyes again seemed to have become a different person in an instant. His deep eyes were like a cold cold pool, which made people afraid to see. The assassins who felt the oppression subconsciously held the weapons in their hands, not daring to be careless at all.

The next second, in the blink of an eye, Justinian, who was originally in a defensive posture, suddenly lifted his defense and rushed forward, which surprised almost everyone.

"Be careful!" The killers in exclamation wanted to cover each other, but they found that the amazing explosive power displayed by the young boy in front of them was much beyond their expectations.

The sharp hunting knife could easily cut the back of the hyena, and in Justinian's hand it was like a scythe of death. He saw him slashing into the assassin, and blood rain seemed to splash in the narrow space. Before he could react, several people fell under Justinian's knife at once, and they vaguely saw these killers coming from different places, including Moors and Franks, but the same one was all extremely brave. Even Justinian could not help but be surprised that these guys who wanted to kill him were simply desperate people. If the space in this alley was really small and the killers could not really attack him, he would be a dead man now.

A killer injured the arm of a killer. Justinian was about to give him a last blow, but he didn't expect that the man did not retreat at all. Instead, he came forward, letting the sharp short sword penetrate his body, and holding the blade tightly with his remaining hands, and never letting go without blood flowing. For a moment, he could not pull out the knife.

Damn it – not good!

Justinian, who was yelling in his heart, immediately realized the danger. At this moment, the other two killers rushed up and attacked them from front to back.

It was too late to draw the knife, so he had to choose to quit his hand. At this time, he could only gamble. Even if he was seriously injured Justinian, he was ready to grab the knife with his bare hands. Even if he knew that he was half slow, he would be stabbed into a transparent hole in his heart. How small is the chance of success? The person who taught him had told him that he would never let his weapons go unless he had to do so, but his current situation was already unavailable.

But at the moment of lightning, the sound of something falling on his head accompanied by a scream made everyone look up subconsciously - a charcoal brazier with sparks fell from the sky at this time. Without time to think about why a sudden change occurred, the killers and Justinian dodged reflexively and interrupted the life and death moment just now. At the same time, these assassins were already in a state of turmoil and finally revealed their flaws in order to avoid the fallen charcoal fire.

Good opportunity!

Looking at this scene, Justinian, who was overjoyed, was about to escape, but in the chaos, someone appeared beside him at some point. I stopped his hand and whispered:

"Follow me!"

It was Andrea's voice! He was startled at first, but soon Justinian heard this familiar voice. Although he had been away in Constantinople for almost a year, he still remembered the voice of that person. No matter what happened, it was obvious that the other party suddenly appeared without malice but came to save himself. Without doubt, Justinian immediately grabbed the other party's hand and followed the steps of the visitor, rushed straight out of the alley surrounded by the killers.

These things only happened in the blink of an eye. When the panicked killers calmed down, they found that the target that was originally in front of them had long disappeared.

"Chasing, he can't run much far!"

The stunned people in black immediately reacted, and were reluctant to accept their mistakes. They were about to follow the traces to chase after them, but the voice of Charles, who had been silent behind them, rang out again at this time.
