Almost at the same time that Wei Changtian shouted "let's go", the black carriage suddenly rushed out of the alley and galloped forward along the empty street.
This is not to say that Zhang San reacted quickly, but when the night wind blew, he, like Wei Changtian, also noticed something was wrong.
Although it was very weak, there was indeed a faint smell of blood in the wind!
"Mr. Gongzi..."
In the bumpy car, Ning Yuke, who still didn't know what happened, widened his eyes and asked tremblingly: "What, what's wrong? Why are we running?"
"Has someone from the palace discovered us?"
"We are going to..."
"Shut up if you want to live!"
Wei Changtian didn't have time to explain these things to Ning Yuke at the moment. After giving a sharp shout, he slightly opened the car curtain and squinted his eyes to look outside.
Sure enough, four black figures were flying over the walls and following the car. Judging from the reaction time, they should have been targeting them for a long time.
Damn it, how could this happen?
These assassins had obviously succeeded in the palace, but why didn't they make any noise?
Doesn’t Ning Qingyu have a few masters under his command?
Or is it that the strength of the assassins this time has crushed the palace guards?
Wei Changtian couldn't figure out the connection for a while, and the current situation didn't allow him to think about these irrelevant issues anymore.
The most important thing now is how to get out of trouble!
calm!
Take a deep breath and close your eyes, and your brain begins to rapidly analyze the current situation.
First of all, these assassins probably didn't know that Ning Yuke was in their car, otherwise they would never have sent just a few people to chase him.
Secondly, I should not have been exposed.
After all, this carriage was specially found by Zhang San to pick up Ning Yuke and had nothing to do with him.
In other words, the reason why these people chased me was most likely because they sensed something was wrong, and they wanted to kill someone just in case.
Then here comes the problem.
What should I do?
Because he was going to Yanyun Mountain, Wei Changtian deliberately did not let the secret sentry follow him tonight, and there was only Zhang San beside him.
Can the two of them alone defeat four assassins on the opposite side?
Wei Changtian had no confidence in his heart.
Or if it really doesn’t work...escape to the Xuanjing Division or the Yamen?
No matter how daring these assassins are, they would not dare to attack in a place like this.
However, in this way, his identity will inevitably be exposed. Ning Yongnian will know that he is related to tonight's incident if he checks casually in the future.
Wei Changtian absolutely did not want to see this kind of thing happen, not to mention judging from the movement outside the car, I was afraid that he would be overtaken before long, and whether he would have time to escape to either place was another matter.
Damn, in that case...
"Zhang San!"
Opening his eyes suddenly, Wei Changtian ordered Zhang San who was driving:
"Find a small alley and turn in!"
...
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The night was as dark as ink, and the four men in black almost blended into the darkness.
Just as Wei Changtian guessed, they really didn't know who was sitting in this carriage, and they pursued him simply to kill and silence him.
Even if they knew Wei Changtian was in the car, they might not even chase him.
But now...
"Hurry! No one should be left alive!"
A shadowy figure shouted angrily, and the black carriage in front was getting closer and closer, and its outline could be clearly seen from the small black dot at the beginning.
Although in the previous life, no matter how fast people ran, they would never be able to catch up with the car, but this is the world of cultivation after all.
Unless the cart is pulled by a horse demon, a sixth-level warrior can run faster than a horse.
"Whoosh!"
The four men in black exerted force on their feet again, suddenly closing the distance again.
But at this moment, they saw the carriage suddenly turn a corner and rush into a small alley next to the wall.
Compared with the wide road, although this kind of small alley can accommodate one vehicle, it will definitely greatly affect the speed of the carriage.
If they had time to analyze calmly, the four assassins should be able to detect the anomaly at this moment.
But at this juncture, they didn't have time to think too much. They rushed to the entrance of the alley in a few breaths, and then continued to chase the carriage that was still racing ahead.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
The rapid sound of horse hooves echoed in the narrow alley, and under the moonlight, the shadows of running cars and people were reflected on the wall on one side, as if a shadow puppet show was being staged with the alley wall as the curtain.
But I don’t know if the master who performed the shadow puppet show made a mistake. At a certain moment, two of the four figures suddenly froze, and then broke into two parts.
"Pfft!"
The spurting blood spattered all over the alley wall, and the two corpses split in two continued to fly forward for a certain distance using inertia, and then fell to the ground with a "plop-plop" in the eyes of the other two accomplices in disbelief.
"Hold!"
The two assassins who were lucky enough to survive immediately stopped. Their rich combat experience allowed them to identify the attacker in the blink of an eye.
Wearing a tight-fitting cyan gown with long hair tied high, she holds a knife in her right hand and a scabbard in her left hand...
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and blurted out almost subconsciously:
"You, you are..."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian asked in a cold tone: "Do you know me?"
"..."
The two assassins looked at each other, and one of them immediately said loudly: "Master Wei, this may be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?"
Wei Changtian's expression gradually turned ferocious: "I don't think there is any misunderstanding. Even if there is, then you should wait until you get to the underworld before talking to the King of Hell!"
"Snapped!"
Taking one step forward, Wei Changtian smiled ferociously and raised his sword as if he was preparing to take action again.
Although the two assassins took a step back slightly, their faces were not panicked.
If it weren't for a sneak attack, they were confident that Wei Changtian would never be their opponent.
However...even if they could fight him, they would not dare to attack Mr. Wei in front of them if they were not absolutely sure of killing him.
This matter involves too much, and it is far beyond what the two of them can afford.
"Mr. Wei, we really didn't know that the person in this car was actually you... I wonder if you can let us two go this time. Someone will come to your door within three days and give you a satisfactory answer."
"Let you go?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is your master?"
"this......"
The two assassins probably knew that Wei Changtian would never let them go if they didn't tell the name. After hesitating for a moment, they finally answered in a deep voice:
"Young Master Wei, we serve...the Ning family."
"Ning family?"
Wei Changtian's expression immediately became uncertain.
And his reaction was also what the two assassins expected.
Although there are many people with the surname Ning in Daning, only one can be called the "Ning family", not even the prince.
Sure enough, after about five or six breaths, Wei Changtian finally made a "difficult" choice.
"If you were really from the Ning family, I would not kill you."
"But who knows whether what you say is true or false, it's better to just..."
"Master Wei! How dare we talk about such things!"
An assassin hurriedly interrupted: "If you don't believe it, we can take you to see someone right now!"
"who?"
"Young master, you will know when you see him!"
"..."
Wei Changtian lowered his head and "hesitated" for a moment, then returned the sword to its sheath with a "cang clang" sound.
