They didn't come for me! As soon as he jumped off the carriage, Wang Xun immediately discovered a strange reality. The target of the sneak attacker was not him, but Bai Yuzhi.
Using three masked men on horseback to rob and kill a singing prostitute, and also use crossbows? Who would do such a stupid thing! Before he could continue to guess the cause and effect, three assassins had already rushed over on horseback, "
Xiao Mianshou, stay away, you have nothing to do here!” (Note 1)
"You are the face-shou! Your whole family is someone else's face-shou!" Wang Xun suddenly got angry and poked half of his head out from behind the carriage door to curse, "You are using a Fubo crossbow to plot against an unarmed woman. You three
What else can a person be but a handsome face?"
Before the curses ended, both the enemy and us were startled. "Fubo Crossbow, they are actually using the Fubo Crossbow specially used by cavalry! God, it's a good thing they can't shoot accurately." Wang Xun was shocked and raised the car door.
He rushed towards the opponent, fearing not to give others time to reload the crossbow.
"Kill him!" The three assassins were also horrified. The Fubo Crossbow is a crossbow specially equipped for cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. It is well made and has a range close to that of an infantry bow. It is strictly prohibited for ordinary people to possess it in their homes. If you are brave,
If you steal from the army and are caught by the government, you will be charged with treason!
To these people, it didn't matter whether they were plotting rebellion or not. It was a grave sin to implicate the boss behind him. Looking at each other, they immediately sorted out their priorities. Two people, one on the left and one on the right, outflanked Wang Xun.
The third person went around the official road and chased Bai Yuzhi's carriage in a circle.
"What a beautiful idea!" Wang Xun shouted angrily, and while running, he suddenly leaned over and turned around, swung his arm in a half circle, and used the carriage door in his left hand as a hidden weapon to throw towards the horse chasing Bai Yuzhi. Followed by his legs
With a sudden force, his whole body turned from vertical to horizontal, and plunged down the official road.
More than four months of arduous training were now fully effective. The carriage door was used as a hidden weapon by Wang Xun. It rotated against the ground and cut directly into the hind legs of the horse that was chasing Bai Yuzhi. Poor thing.
How could the beast withstand such a huge impact? It screamed "Xi Liu Liu" and turned sideways, pressing the owner on its back underneath it.
Before the two remaining assassins could figure out what happened to their companions, they saw Wang Xun turn around and flee sideways. They turned their mounts around and chased him down. While running, Wang Xun suddenly started to turn around again, still the same.
His legs suddenly exerted force, turned from horizontal to vertical, and ran towards White Horse Castle along a route that was level with the official road.
"Boy, where are you escaping!" The two assassins were chasing after them, their swords swaying with cold light in the morning sun. Two legs could not outrun four legs anyway, so Wang Xun had no choice but to turn around and fight. "Dang" "Dang"
Relying on his previously solid basic skills and the practical skills he had trained in recent months of hard work, he blocked two attacks from the opponent in succession. However, the horizontal sword in his hand could not withstand such a large momentum and broke in the middle, with most of the blade flying into the air.
middle.
With only half of the dagger-length sword left in his hand, Wang Xun was not so stupid as to stand there and let others chop him in vain. Taking advantage of the opponent's effort to turn his mount, he spread his legs and fled along the official road towards Chang'an City.
At this time, there were scattered pedestrians on the official road. However, the incident happened suddenly, and no one could figure out who was killing whom. In line with the principle of hiding when encountering disaster, they all fled into the fields by the roadside.
.The entire official road became empty in an instant, making it impossible for Wang Xun to find someone to crowd in.
"Help!" He shouted loudly, hoping that someone would come forward, even if it was to throw a stone to interfere with the assassin's sight. Unexpectedly, it was okay if he didn't shout. Once he shouted, people ran faster and climbed up the tree.
The trees burrowed into the snow, and after a few breaths, not even a single extra shadow could be seen on both sides of the official road.
He heard the sound of horse hooves behind him getting closer and closer. Wang Xun suddenly became furious. He bit half of the horizontal knife in his mouth and looked at an old elm tree on the roadside that was as thick as a hug. He ran wildly with both hands.
His legs suddenly jumped under the tree roots, and his arms hooked on the branches that stretched out horizontally and pulled down hard. Using the rebound force of the branches, he bent his arms, tightened his abdomen, and turned over. All the movements were done in one go. Before the assassin could catch up, he was already straddling the body.
On the branch.
The change was sudden, and the two assassins had no time to tighten the reins of their horses, so they had to rush past the tree trunk. Spotting one of them, Wang Xun flew down from the tree, hugged the other person's waist with one hand, and turned over with the other hand.
He slashed hard with half of the blade. "Pfft!" Blood spurted out all over his body and face. Half of the unlucky assassin's neck was cut off by the blade, leaving only a layer of oily skin between his head and body.
The saddle of the war horse fell off.
"Don't run, watch the sword!" Wang Xun clamped the saddle between his legs and mobilized his mount to attack the last one. It was not because he was bold, but because the opponent was less than half a foot away in front of him. If he gave this person
When I turned the horse's head, I was holding half of the cross-cut knife, but I still only got the chop.
How could the last assassin guess the evil idea in Wang Xun's heart? He suddenly turned around and saw a bloody man dancing with a "dagger" and running after him with a horse's head and tail. He was so frightened that he let out a scream and hit the stirrups hard.
, fled in despair.
"Where are you escaping? Hurry up and capture him!" Wang Xun didn't expect that he could actually make the lie come true. He hit his mount and chased after him. After chasing for more than 40 steps, he saw the man he had knocked down before using the car door as a hidden weapon.
The horse neighed miserably beside the official road. The rider on the horse had one leg pinned down by the horse, and half of his face was buried in the hard soil. Even if he did not die for a while, he would have to use a cane for the rest of his life.
Seeing that another companion was also poisoned by the enemy, the fleeing assassin was even more frightened. He threw the horizontal knife on the side of the road, raised his hands high and begged for mercy, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm just following orders."
Do as you are told!"
"Don't run, don't run and I won't kill you!" Wang Xun was surprised and happy, grinning and continuing to yell. How dare you have the guts to become an assassin? I haven't seen you for a few months. The gangsters in Chang'an City are really awesome.
It's getting more and more useless.
"Don't run, I won't run!" The assassin raised his hands in the air, and his begging for mercy was already filled with tears. "If I don't hold the reins, the horse can't stop. Grandpa, please stop chasing me. I beg you. Can't you do it?"
?”
"What a waste!" Wang Xun couldn't help but cursed, "A noodle maker no one wants in the capital!"
After scolding him, I quickly scanned the side of the saddle with my eyes, and as expected I found a General Fubo crossbow and a neat box of crossbow arrows.
Throwing away the "dagger", he grabbed the crossbow and fiddled with it with both hands. It's no wonder that several assassins couldn't remember to use the second one after firing one arrow. During the gallop, it was very difficult to re-wind the short crossbow specially used by cavalry.
Even someone like Wang Xun, who has strong physical strength and has been used to riding horses since he was a child, can still handle it with two free hands. If it were someone with weak physical strength or unskilled riding skills, he would fall to the ground before he could even attach the crossbow.
The horse's belly went down.
After a few breaths, Wang Xun repositioned the crossbow. He raised his arms and aimed at the assassin in front of him. "Look back and see what this is? Pull the reins and dismount. Otherwise, I will shoot you with the crossbow!"
After hearing this, the assassin's cry for mercy became more and more shrill, "Spare my life, spare your life!" But his legs continued to hit the stirrups, and he refused to stop and become a prisoner.
Bai Yongzhi's carriage couldn't run very far. Wang Xun didn't have any more time to fight with the assassins on the road. He clicked the mechanism with his finger and shot the crossbow arrow out. At a distance of less than ten feet, even an untrained person would not be able to shoot.
The assassin in front of him fell off his horse and rolled on the ground, vomiting blood and dying at the sight.
It was the first time he saw a person die in front of him. Wang Xun's heart twitched suddenly, and the smell of blood in his nostrils suddenly increased. He opened his mouth and vomited out what he had eaten in the morning. A mouthful of undigested food spurted out, and he had snot and tears at the same time.
He shed tears. But he didn't dare to delay any more. He wiped his face with his hands, turned his mount, and ran towards the assassin who was crippled by the horse.
The last person who can ask the truth, if this last person dies, he will be in jail. The Wang family's death-free gold medal may not be effective, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with if Fourth Uncle Feng comes forward. While scaring himself, Wang Xun
While jumping off his mount, he reached out to push the war horse whose hind leg was injured by the car door.
The trained war horses all had some understanding of human nature. When they saw Wang Xun coming to rescue them, they worked hard to move their bodies together. One man and one horse used up the last strength of each other, and finally moved the assassin who was pressed under the horse. Fortunately, this man's chest
There were still ups and downs. When Wang Xun saw this, he was overjoyed and reached out to grab the other person's scarf.
"Don't move!" At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from among the passers-by who had been frightened away by the official road.
Wang Xun was slightly startled, and his outstretched hand immediately changed direction to catch the assassin's dropped sword. Afraid of causing misunderstanding, the bold passerby quickly added, "Since he is covering his face, he definitely doesn't want anyone to recognize his identity.
If you are not sure how to deal with him, you might as well just pretend to be confused!"
"How to pretend?" Wang Xun's mind has never been slow. After listening to the other party's words, he immediately gave up the idea of revealing the identity of the assassin. He has been in enough trouble recently. Even if he hid, he kept coming to his door. These things
The idiot assassin may not be able to do anything to him, but the master behind him is definitely not easy to mess with.
"Three of these barbarians from the Western Regions took advantage of the situation and robbed and killed a Tang Dynasty woman in broad daylight. As a Tang Dynasty man, it is your duty to draw your sword to help when there is injustice!" Daqing, since the battle just started, gave Wang Xun a message.
The guy who came up with the idea saw everything that happened, but just cowered on the side of the road and refused to come forward to help. "Since I have fulfilled my responsibility, I will leave the rest to those who can take care of it. I didn't ask any questions."
I haven’t seen anything, so I just treat it as if it has nothing to do with me!”
