Xiao Yunchu said to Mu Yunan and Yuan Jiahe in the carriage that although many of the arrows were blocked by the men outside, a few of them fell on the carriage.
And looking at this posture, the opponent has a large number of people, and they may be difficult to resist.
Mu Yun'an and Yuan Jiahe both lowered their heads after hearing this. They didn't know what the situation was like outside and were worried in their hearts, but the sound of random arrows hadn't stopped yet.
It can be seen that the attack is so fierce that they will definitely die here.
Fortunately, Xiao Chengyi was well prepared. The secret guards brought by Xiao Jue did not go with them but were arranged at the back to prevent assassins from attacking along the way.
Another wave of random arrows flew by, and Xiao Jue's secret guards also rushed over. They attacked from behind and killed the assassins who used bows and arrows.
The danger is finally over.
Mu Yun'an and others got off their horses and were about to check if anyone was injured when they heard a chirping sound and a group of fireworks exploded in the sky.
It was dusk at this time, and the fireworks left a shadow in the sky and quickly disappeared. Mu Yunan felt strange and asked Xiao Chengyi beside him: "What is this?"
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes and replied: "It's a signal."
"Signal? What do you mean?"
Mu Yunan frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Xiao Chengyi said: "It means that someone sent a message to the people behind the scenes that the operation failed, and they should implement the second plan!"
If this firework signal was not sent by their people, it must be the work of assassins.
Mu Yunan: "..."
She saw that it was getting dark. If there was another wave of assassins, who would be able to bear it? Just as she was thinking about it, she heard something coming from deep in the forest.
"Look."
Xiao Jue discovered the source of the sound and pointed not far away.
Everyone followed the sound and were immediately startled by the scene in front of them. They saw an army in armor coming from the mountain forest on the opposite side.
Those soldiers surrounded Xiao Chengyi and others. All the people in the front row set up their bows and arrows and aimed at them, just waiting for an order.
Seeing this posture, Mu Yun'an was so frightened that she lost consciousness, and Xiao Chengyi beside her suddenly pulled her behind him.
The same was true for Xuandu. When he saw this team of unknown origins surrounding them, he also protected Yuan Jiahe behind him.
The dozens of secret guards brought by Xiao Jue were guarding their master with vigilance.
At this time, a path was opened in the team, and a middle-aged man riding a horse came to the front. He was not wearing armor, but it was not difficult to tell that he was the leader behind the scenes.
"The Lord of Huihe County is here. Please forgive me for the delay in welcoming you from such a distance."
The man was sitting on a tall horse, looking at Mu Yun'an who was being protected behind him, with a disdainful smile on his lips.
When Mu Yun'an heard that he called himself a lower official, he couldn't help but frowned: "County Magistrate Yang?"
Yang Shijie smiled slightly: "It's the official."
Mu Yun'an was shocked. She looked at the soldiers behind Yang Shijie. There were hundreds of them, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands were all new.
But how could a small county magistrate have such a well-equipped team?
