Chapter 384 The person who should come is always late
His left hand quickly slapped the ground, bent his elbow, rolled over, and then left his left foot out of the stirrup. Han Qing used the inertia to roll sideways and forward. In a flash, he avoided the horse's corpse and all the flying objects.
Feather arrows...
After practicing martial arts for many years, his reaction speed and adaptability are far beyond those of ordinary people. All movements are done in one go by instinct without going through the brain.
His body rolled more than ten feet away, and he suddenly stopped. Immediately afterwards, his feet hit the ground hard. His thighs and waist exerted force at the same time. His whole body jumped up like a spring, turned around quickly in mid-air, and drew his sword.
Holding it in hand, he roared sternly, "Zhang Fan, Liu Hong, protect the Wang Xiang, and the others, come with me to capture the assassin!"
"Catch the assassin, catch the assassin!" The guards following Han Qing and Wang Shu woke up from a dream, rushed to the roadside food stall with arrows, and stabbed more than a dozen assassins holding horned bows.
Chop it to the ground.
"Kill the dog official and do justice for heaven!"
"Kill the dog officials and eliminate harm for the people!"
…
The other assassins did not expect Han Qing and his soldiers to react so quickly. They yelled and raised their swords and pounced in front of Han Qing. However, Wu You led more than 30 veterans of the Suppression Army and blocked them head on.
"Assassinating political officials on the street, aren't you afraid of being punished by the nine tribes?!" Yang Xu, who had already rushed twenty feet away, found something happened behind him, so he rode back with a gun. His long tassel was swallowed, and the two men were unable to dodge.
The assassin flew directly into the air.
The other three assassins saw the ferocity of his approach and immediately joined forces to pounce on him. However, how could the skills of a street fight be as good as that of a general fighting among thousands of troops? As soon as they faced each other, he was stabbed left and right, all of them.
Sent back to my hometown.
Facing Wu You and a group of veterans of the Suppression Army, the other assassins were already unable to withstand. Suddenly they encountered Yang Xu, a killer. How could they still hold on? In the blink of an eye, six or seven more were knocked down, and the rest were seen.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and rushed towards the crowd of people.
The people on the official road had been frightened when they saw an assassin committing murder in the street. However, they were unable to run very far because their legs and feet were not agile enough. In the blink of an eye, the assassin caught up with him from behind and pushed him away.
Staggering this way and that.
"Innocent people squat down, don't become a shield for the assassins! They assassinated the political ministers of the dynasty!" Yang Xu was furious, jumped off his horse, and chased the assassins on foot to avoid accidentally hurting the people, while shouting in standard Bianliang dialect.
.
"Squat down, squat down quickly, everyone, don't let the assassins escape! They just assassinated Wang Zhuangyuan." Wu You and others also shouted in unison at the top of their voices.
Everyone's native place was near Bianliang, and their accents were exactly the same as those of the local people. Immediately, the people understood which side might be theirs.
In the eyes of the people, the status of "number one scholar" is much more valuable than "participation in political affairs". When they heard that the target of the assassins' murder was a number one scholar, the people immediately became more inclined. They hid sideways on the roadside.
The farmland that has just been harvested must not be given a chance to assassins.
The assassins' eyes were red with anxiety, and they stretched out their hands, ready to seize civilians as human shields. Now, the surrounding civilians knew better who they should help, and they tried their best to avoid while shouting curses. There were even some brave ones who threw their baskets
The eggs, radishes, noodles, vegetable leaves and other items in the basket were all thrown at the assassins' faces.
As a result, the assassins were completely unable to hide. They were caught up by Yang Xu, Wu You and others, and were knocked to the ground from behind one after another.
"Stay alive and track down the mastermind behind the scenes!" Han Qing took a few steps after holding his sword. When he realized that the overall situation was decided, he quickly raised his voice and shouted a reminder. Immediately, he hurried to check on Wang Shu's situation.
I saw Wang Shu, who had been promoted to political affairs for less than five days, with his eyes closed, his body balled up, surrounded by his soldiers, lying on the ground in the middle of the official road, his clothes from chest to hem, stained red with blood.
one slice.
"How is Wang Xiang? Where is Wang Xiang injured? Stop the bleeding, stop his bleeding quickly!" In an instant, Han Qing felt like falling into an ice cave, and blurted out questions and orders one after another.
"The Prime Minister fell off his horse and fainted. My subordinates just checked and found that no bones were broken and no arrows were hit!" Zhang Fan quickly stepped forward to greet him, panting and reporting.
"Then where did the blood on his body come from?" Han Qing was surprised and happy, and couldn't believe his ears.
"It's all horse blood. His mount was hit by three arrows in the neck and died." Liu Hong also stepped forward and added in a low voice, "The assassin should be coming for you, so the arrows shot at him will not
"More. And just now you reminded him in time to raise the horse's head. As a result, all the arrows hit the horse's neck. The horse died on the spot. He had no time to dismount, was thrown out, and fell unconscious."
"I'll go check it out myself, Zhang Fan, get on the spare mount and get the medicine box!" Han Qing suddenly felt guilty and ordered in a low voice.
If Wang Shu hadn't been with him, he probably wouldn't have become the target of assassins today. But now, those who want to kill him are not just Chunyang Sect, Red Lotus Sect and Maitreya Sect.
"How is Uncle Wang Hui's injury? How is Uncle Wang Hui's injury?" The person who felt even more guilty than Han Qing was Yang Xu. He quickly turned back with a spear that was still dripping blood, and asked loudly with red eyes.
"Zhang Fan just checked, he must have fainted after falling!" Han Qing walked quickly to Wang Shu, quickly squatted down and carefully inspected the opponent's head, neck, ribs and limbs. It was confirmed that the latter did not have any injuries.
When there were problems with broken bones, dents or joint displacements, he took a long breath and added in a low voice, "The fall was a bit hard, but luckily the bones and internal organs were not injured. When he returned to Bianliang, he asked the imperial doctor to carefully reshape him.
Check it out. Don't move him in a hurry now, lest his head be hit when he falls from the horse, and let him wake up slowly on his own."
"We caught two alive. If anything happens to the Prime Minister, I will chop them alive!" After hearing Han Qing's confirmation that Wang Shu would be fine, Yang Xu also breathed a long sigh of relief and pointed in the distance with the tip of his gun.
, added through gritted teeth.
As soon as he finished speaking, another violent sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly came from the direction of Shiliting. Immediately afterwards, a group of well-dressed divine guards flew in. The commander at the head of the army came high up from a long distance away.
He raised his saber and shouted ferociously, "Everyone, put down your weapons. We are fighting with weapons in the capital city. Do you still have the law in your eyes?" (Note: Shenwei Army, one of the four armies in Bianliang City)
, belonging to the emperor's personal guard.)
"Which of your eyes saw grandpa fighting with weapons?" The guilt in Yang Xu's heart immediately turned into anger. He pushed the guard away and strode towards him with a spear that was still dripping blood. "The king will be stabbed. Wait.
It’s just that he’s late, is he still trying to protect the assassin and hide the real culprit?”
"Who are you?" The leading commander was startled by the bloody spear and decisively stopped his mount, "Which prince? How about the chariot and the honor guard?"
The soldiers of the Divine Guard Army who followed him also took their mounts and looked at Yang Xu with very unkind eyes. However, when they saw the gold medal hanging on this man's waist, they all immediately put away the fierce light in their eyes.
stand up.
When working in the Divine Guards, one may not be good at skills, but one must have poisonous eyes. The golden waist badge is an accessory that only generals of rank six or above are eligible to wear. Different birds and animals are engraved on it, indicating the status of the wearer.
The man holding the spear in front of him is only in his early twenties, but he has already reached the sixth level or above. How could his background be so poor!
"A certain person is Yang Xu, the cavalry captain of the Great Song Dynasty. The prime minister is the new governor of Kaifeng, Kaifeng Prefecture Yin. At the same time, Han Qing, the envoy of the Southern Division of Kaifeng Prefecture, was intercepted and killed by assassins!" Yang Xu lived in Bianliang when he was a boy.
He was a dandy in the city, but he had frequent dealings with the Divine Guards. He already knew who these people were and immediately gave them a series of official titles.
"Wang Zhuangyuan of the Council of Political Affairs?" The commander trembled with fright, quickly threw away his saber, and got off his horse. "The injury is serious. Come here, hurry up, help Wang Xiang up, and send him to the Imperial Hospital for treatment. Quick, use it."
The fastest horse will deliver it, and it must be delivered before dark."
"Yes!" The four elite divine guards agreed, and they also jumped off their mounts and went straight to Wang Shu.
Before they could get close, Yang Xu flicked his spear, turned around and drew a series of sparks on the ground, "Stop, anyone who dares to cross this line will be shot to death!"
"Ah——" The four elite divine guardsmen were tall and powerful, but none of them had ever been on the battlefield. They were forced by the bloody rifles and hurriedly staggered back.
"The Prime Minister may have been hit on the head and needs to rest. As you carry him on the horse for a bumpy ride, do you want to help save people, or do you want to kill him?" Yang Xu gave the commander of the Divine Guard a hard look.
, continued to question. "Besides, when it comes to saving people, who in the world can be better than my brother Han Qing? He dedicated all the first-aid skills in the company to the imperial court. With him here, do you need your courtesy?"
"This, this..." The commander of the Divine Guards blushed when asked, and murmured for a long time before saluting in shame, "Indeed, I am indeed reckless. Don't blame me, Lieutenant Commander. I am the fifth battalion of the Divine Guards left wing.
Commander Hou Nan has met the Cavalry Commander. He acted without consideration just now, so please don’t blame the Cavalry Commander!"
"That's it!" Yang Xu was too lazy to talk to this guy who was pretending to be a bully, and waved his hands with a cold face.
"May I ask Captain Qi, have the assassins been caught alive?" Hou Nan knew that Yang Xu didn't want to see him, but he still asked with a smile. "They were so courageous to assassinate the political officials of the current dynasty, so they were not afraid of being executed three times.
Clan!"
"We caught two." Yang Xu glanced at this person and responded angrily, "Why are you asking so many questions? If you have the time, why not help collect the corpses on the ground and appease the people."
"Yes, yes, I'll arrange for someone to do it right now. I'll arrange it right now!" Hou Nan's temper can be softer than noodles when he needs to be soft. He continued to hand over his hands with a smile on his face, "Besides, I don't know that the Captain of Cavalry
Can it be convenient? After all, the Divine Guards are responsible for public security in Gyeonggi Province, and those two assassins committed crimes in my jurisdiction. I want to take them back and track down the real culprit..."
"Huh?" Seeing this person's respectful attitude, Yang Xu instinctively wanted to agree. But it was not convenient for one person to make the decision, so he turned to Han Qing with a deep thought.
To his surprise, Han Qing did not save any face and had no intention of giving it to the Divine Guards. "Sorry, this assassin was left behind by the Kaifeng Prefecture! Han is the Southern Secretary of the Kaifeng Prefecture and is also one of the targets of the assassin.
1. Now that the assassin has found Han, the leader of the embassy, the Kaifeng Mansion should first shoulder the burden of tracking down the person behind the scenes, instead of leaving it to others!"
