This was the only thought in the minds of father and son.
Li Shimin subconsciously blocked in front of Li Chengqian, then raised his hand to open the curtain and looked out through the gap.
It was only then that the two of them discovered that the driver driving the carriage had disappeared.
And where the groom was sitting, there were very obvious blood stains.
Obviously, the groom had been killed without anyone noticing during the conversation between the father and son.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the other party was able to kill the groom without being noticed by the two people in the car, the other party was definitely a master.
At that moment, the nerves of both father and son were subconsciously tense.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian beside him and said, "You stay in the carriage, I'll go down and take a look first."
This is not because of Li Shimin's entrustment.
It's because as a father, he has an innate sense of mission and responsibility to protect his son.
Of course, in addition to being a father, he is also an emperor.
He didn't realize it himself, but Li Chengqian had thought of it.
If the other party is ambushing outside right now, wouldn't Li Shimin go out by himself to die?
Compared with Li Shimin, he has integrated the skills of so many people, so he is obviously more powerful than Li Shimin.
Therefore, he did not agree at all. He directly grabbed Li Shimin's arm and said, "Father, I'd better go ahead."
After saying this, he jumped out of the carriage without giving Li Shimin a chance to reply.
His body skills were very good, so he got off the car very quickly, like a whirlwind.
But despite this, he was still targeted by the other party.
As the wind blew three times, three crossbow arrows were stabbed into the place where Li Chengqian had just run.
When he saw the crossbow arrow, Li Chengqian was obviously stunned for a moment.
After all, crossbows have long been classified as military contraband, and civilians are not allowed to sell them, let alone make them.
Nowadays, even in the army of the Tang Dynasty, no one All can be equipped with such weapons.
But if that's the case, where did the other party get it?
Li Chengqian didn't have time to think too much.
After he showed his head, an overwhelming barrage of arrows were shot towards him.
Li Chengqian didn't dare to hesitate at all, so he could only dodge left and right, and hid behind a big tree before he dared to stop and carefully observe the surrounding environment.
The carriage drove into a mountain col at some point, surrounded by dense jungle.
And the carriage was parked on the official road, and the reason why the carriage could stop without a groom was.
It was entirely because the carriage got stuck on a huge stone pier.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the surrounding environment.
After looking around for a moment, he finally found the right spot.
His toes suddenly touched the ground, and he rushed out like a leopard about to hunt.
Now, he was running in the face of the overwhelming crossbow arrows.
Li Shimin, who was watching this scene in the carriage, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for him.
Several times, he wanted to rush out to protect his son.
However, judging from Li Chengqian's skills, he is obviously much better than himself.
This, while making him feel gratified, also made him feel surprised.
How many things do you still don't know about this guy?
The direction in which Li Chengqian charged was exactly where the two assassins were hiding.
Seeing Li Chengqian charging forward, the two assassins did not hesitate, gave up their crossbows and drew their sabers to fight Li Chengqian.
Although Li Chengqian was empty-handed, his physical strength was far beyond what ordinary people could contend with.
Even if the other party is holding
The weapon still couldn't last two rounds with him.
After the two fell to the ground, Li Chengqian picked up the crossbow and long knife on the ground, and then went to the next hiding place of the assassin.
Now, Li Chengqian's purpose is very clear, which is to kill the assassins hiding in the dark before the opponent can react and gather into a battle formation to attack him.
But he is powerful and the other party is not a fool.
After discovering Li Chengqian's purpose, the other party immediately began to gather and launch an attack on Li Chengqian.
At that moment, an overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows were fired at Li Chengqian, making it impossible for him to stand up from behind the bunker.
And just when he was suppressed by the crossbow arrows, two waves of assassins, consisting of dozens of people in total, were already attacking him from the left and right.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin on the carriage couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
Obviously, these assassins are not coming for him as the emperor.
The real purpose of these people was obviously to assassinate Li Chengqian.
The moment he figured out the reason, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent.
In this world, there are many people who want Li Chengqian to die, but there are very few people who have the ability to do it.
Apart from those aristocratic families that had been beaten to pieces by Li Chengqian, there was only one person in the palace.
Li Shimin couldn't help clenching his fists.
Now he couldn't help but start to doubt himself.
Are you being too kind and loving to some people?
After thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't control it anymore.
He rushed out of the carriage regardless, and after landing on the side of the road, he headed straight for the place where the crossbow arrows were most densely fired.
While Li Shimin was taking action, Li Chengqian was already fighting against the assassin.
These assassins were obviously carefully trained to die.
The brave and fearless looks of each one of them are more beautiful than those on the battlefield. A veteran of many battles, he is even more ferocious.
Even though Li Chengqian showed extremely terrifying force in front of them, he still did not frighten the other party.
The opponent still launched an almost suicidal attack on Li Chengqian.
And no matter how powerful a person is, they still can't stop the siege from all directions.
What's more, a group of ruthless people who would stand up and fight Li Chengqian even if they were hit in vital parts?
Soon, Li Chengqian's body also turned red.
His leg was cut with a foot-long gash by the opponent's dying knife.
Although the wound was not deep, it bled a lot and had a great impact on Li Chengqian's body skills.
As a result, he was unable to deal with the enemy's attacks and at the same time, he also had to deal with the crossbow arrows that the opponent would shoot from time to time.
To be honest, Li Chengqian really regretted inventing the crossbow at this time.
If it weren't for these crossbows that can perform well in close combat, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly by the opponent.
While thinking about this, Li Chengqian had to start to doubt.
Which part of the process went wrong?
Obviously, he strictly kept the drawings of the crossbow machine. Except for those he owned at home, the rest were placed in the secret vault of the ordnance camp.
Needless to say, even Liu Min, who is the general manager of the ordnance battalion, cannot access the blueprints in the secret library at will, let alone others.
And it's even more impossible for his family.
The people who can work for him by his side are the ones he trusts greatly and will never betray him.
So what's the situation now?
Where did these people get their repeating crossbows?
Could it be that some people who are good at making mechanisms made this repeating crossbow again?
At that moment, Li Chengqian was filled with confusion.
And with his current state of mind, he might never even dream of who betrayed him...
