790 [Thorn Pei] (Seventeen)
The timing of the previous congestion was too coincidental. It happened just after Pei Yue entered Taiping Street. Although he did not give any hint, the soldiers headed by Feng Yi secretly raised their alert to the highest level.
However, the situation they were worried about did not happen, and the so-called congestion was just an extremely common minor conflict.
Then because of the friendly teasing from the crowd, Xu Churong and Pei Yue were slightly out of touch with the guards. However, everything on Taiping Street was as usual, so even Feng Yi and Yuan Yan did not follow them immediately. In their hearts
They had exactly the same idea. Although the two principals didn't seem weird, who could judge the private affairs between young men and women?
If the two of them have something to say, wouldn't it be just asking for trouble if I join them at this time?
So when the runaway carriage appeared, the distance between Pei and Xu and the guards was about five or six feet.
The carriage rushed towards Xu Churong very quickly. At this moment, the girl looked panicked. Perhaps Xu Huiyan protected her too well, and also because the name of the Xu family in Qinghe was too loud. She had never encountered such a situation in the past sixteen years.
Scene. Even when the powerful children rushed up to her in Qinyuan, Kyoto, Beiliang, she could remain calm and composed because she believed that the guards around her could handle any danger.
But at this moment, there was no one else around her. She was the only one being carried forward by the horse that had started to speed up. The panicked and frightened face of the coachman gradually became clear in her sight.
She knew she should pull the reins immediately, but her hands holding the reins couldn't exert any strength.
The people around her exclaimed in shock. After all, no one wanted to see such a beautiful girl encounter an unexpected incident.
Yuan Yan and the other guards of the Xu family were frightened and tried desperately to rush forward to rescue them.
But everything happened in an instant. By the time they arrived, Xu Churong's horse might have already collided with the out-of-control carriage.
At the critical moment, a palm appeared on Xu Churong's left wrist, and then the girl heard Pei Yue's calm voice ringing in her ears: "Take off the stirrups."
Xu Churong subconsciously followed his instructions, and then she felt like she was flying through the clouds and mist, her body rose into the sky, and then landed on Pei Yue's mount, and they sat facing each other.
Xu Churong's pretty face turned red, feeling grateful for his help but also a little confused in her heart.
Pei Yue could help her hold the reins of the horse and avoid the oncoming carriage by changing direction. Why did he do such an outrageous thing? After spending this time together, she knew that Pei Yue was not that kind of character.
A misbehaving villain would not take advantage of this opportunity, so she did not yell, but lowered her head shyly.
Soon she knew the reason why Pei Yue did this.
The moment Pei Yue brought her over and turned the horse's head away from the direction, the two horses of the carriage collided with Xu Churong's mount. Several horses whined, and the panicked coachman was suddenly thrown away.
When he came out, just when everyone thought he would fall to his death, the coachman turned around and stepped on the shaft of the carriage, then made a half circle in the air and rushed towards Pei Yue.
At this time, many people saw a sharp and shining dagger in his hand!…
"Killing people!"
Suddenly there was a burst of shouts from the crowd. The people were already in a fog. How could they tell the truth from the false at this time? They only wanted to save their own lives, so they ran around, just to get away from this land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
place.
Taiping Street was already crowded with people. They had subconsciously retreated to both sides of the street because they were afraid of the soldiers led by Pei Yue. At this moment of life and death, the panic spread at an extremely exaggerated speed, no matter how brave they were.
The cowardly people didn't care much and rushed directly into the ranks of Pei Yue's soldiers and fled in the opposite direction.
Over there, Pei Yue slowed down his mount because he was rescuing Xu Churong. In an instant, it was obviously impossible to speed up because the coachman had already come to his side, and the dagger pierced his neck like a poisonous snake.
Pei Yue suddenly stretched out his left hand to hold Xu Churong's slender waist, then leaned forward to press her forward, took off his feet from the stirrups, and pushed his right hand toward the horse's back.
Looking from Xu Churong's perspective, he could see that the farmer had a ferocious look on his face, like a leaping beast, ferociously approaching Pei Yue, the dagger in his hand glowing with a faint blue light.
Although she has never practiced martial arts and is not very familiar with the legends in the grass, she knows that this blue light means that the dagger must be stained with poison.
Even if it makes a shallow cut on the skin, the consequences will be disastrous.
Pei Yue pushed her upper body forward. This was obviously not a decent posture, especially since the two bodies were almost touching each other. Xu Churong could even feel that Pei Yue was still breathing steadily at this time. Normally, this would definitely be the case.
It was a gesture that was difficult for her to accept and was beyond a reasonable distance, but at the moment she didn't feel too shy and uncontrollable, instead she felt a bit curious.
At this moment, Pei Yue, who had his right hand on the horse's back, raised his body and kicked up with his right foot.
"Bang!"
The coachman never expected that Pei Yue would still want to counterattack at this time. He had even calculated in his mind the direction in which Pei Yue would dodge and the next decisive move.
However, what greeted him was a fierce side kick.
I saw the coachman flying backwards like a rubber ball, hitting the wall of the carriage, and then fell to the ground again, spitting out a mouthful of blood mist.
Xu Churong couldn't help but laugh lightly.
Pei Yue landed smoothly on the horse and pulled Xu Churong up to sit up straight. Looking at the excitement in her eyes, he couldn't help but said helplessly: "You can still laugh."
Xu Churong certainly understood the reason why Pei Yue did what he did before. The runaway carriage was obviously not an accident. The driver came well prepared. The target may be Pei Yue, but he did not rule out that he wanted to kill her. If Pei Yue just held her back,
Her mount might also put her in danger, so she was simply brought over.
At this time, Taiping Street had become extremely chaotic. People were rushing around like headless flies, and Pei Yue's soldiers and Xu family guards were trapped in it almost instantly.
The vegetable vendor shouted with tears in his eyes: "My vegetables! Don't step on my vegetables!"
No one paid attention to him, and he was even dragged back by the crowd.
When he approached a Xu family guard, a murderous intention suddenly appeared in the hawker's eyes. He jumped up and clung to the guard, holding the guard's chest with his left hand, and holding the man's throat with the five fingers of his right hand like an eagle's claw...
There was only a crisp sound, and the guard's body collapsed like a rag.
Yuan Yan turned around and saw this scene, and roared angrily: "How dare you, Shuzi!"
He summoned up all his strength and threw the long sword in his hand. It whizzed away with a sound of piercing the air. The hawker couldn't avoid it. The long sword penetrated his chest and the tip of the sword came out through his body.
At the same time, more than a dozen masters hidden among the people suddenly launched their attacks, targeting leading figures such as Feng Yi and Yuan Yan.
There were sounds of killing everywhere, ghosts crying and wolves howling in Taiping Street, and wolves running and swarming everywhere.
Feng Yi waved his knife to force an assassin back, and then shouted forward: "Master, take the knife!"
Pei Yue had always carried his sword with him, so without thinking, he picked up another steel sword and threw it a few feet away.
The sharp long knife flew towards Pei Yue. Xu Churong looked at it curiously, and the next moment his expression suddenly changed.
A sword inlaid with gold and jade flew from the diagonal stab and hit the long knife accurately. A harsh sound was heard, and the swords landed a foot away behind Pei Yue.
"Pei Yue, accept your fate!"
The rich and elegantly dressed young man smiled ferociously and ran towards Pei Yue with long strides.
A monk wearing a robe appeared directly in front of Pei Yue with a solemn expression and a Zen staff in hand.
On the right side of the road, two porters exerted their strength at the same time, and the heavy load on their shoulders was like a catapult's stone cannon, hitting Pei Yue with a faint sound of wind and thunder.
When time was running out, Pei Yue was already surrounded by enemies, and with the burden of Xu Churong beside him, the situation was at stake.
At the end of the long street dozens of steps away, Lan Zhiqiu looked at this scene with a smile.
