Chapter 230
"Don't hurt my wife—" As Qi Heng shouted, the spiritual sword in his hand suddenly glowed. The spiritual sword suddenly grew three feet long, and white mist erupted from the blade. At the critical moment, he had used the spiritual transformation of dispatching troops.
.
He held the knife in both hands and slashed horizontally in the air. He only heard a roar, and the transformed virtual knife cut through the air, making a whistling sound like ghosts and gods.
The eight assassins never dreamed that Qi Heng would suddenly kill them. When they reacted, the virtual sword was already flying close to them.
The four assassins parried hurriedly, and the four spiritual swords all went to resist the virtual sword. A series of crisp sounds were heard in the ear helix, and the four spiritual swords that resisted the virtual sword were shattered into pieces by the impact, and the four assassins were like kites with broken strings.
, flew out together, and when they landed, they looked at the four of them again. The spiritual armor on their chests was shattered, and wounds as deep as the bones lay across their chests. Blood gushes out. The four of them exhaled more and inhaled less. They looked alive.
It doesn't work.
The other four assassins were horrified and shouted in unison: "Qi Heng, you..."
Without giving them a chance to speak, Qi Heng wheeled up his spiritual sword and slashed at them in the air.
The huge and terrifying virtual knife fell diagonally from the air. The air pressure generated when it fell rolled up the soil on the ground very high. For a moment, sand and rocks flew in the woods, and screams continued.
Under Qi Heng's all-out attack after completing the spiritual transformation of the soldiers, three of the remaining four assassins fell down in the blink of an eye. Their bodies were covered with bloody wounds from the spiritual blades, and they were killed on the spot. Although the last assassin
He hadn't fallen down yet, but he was already frightened. When the dust cleared, he suddenly screamed strangely, turned around and ran away, rushing into the depths of the dense forest.
At this time, Ye Tang, Gao Yu and many guards were chasing after them. When people saw the corpses on the ground and Xiao Na trapped in the net, they were all frightened and shouted: "This... this is
what happened?"
"There is an assassin ambushed in the forest. I will chase the enemy. Please save my wife!" How could Qi Heng let the escaped assassin go? As long as he was left alive, the matter would be revealed. By then, not only would he be dead, but Guo Jue would also have to die.
been implicated.
He said a word and urged his horse to chase the assassin in the direction of his escape.
Ye Tang and Gao Yu hurriedly dismounted, used their spiritual swords to break through the net, and then pulled out Xiaona who was trapped inside.
Seeing that Xiao Na was intact and uninjured, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Tang and Gao Yu ordered the guards to spread out and set up defenses all around. They saluted Xiao Na and said in a trembling voice: "Come down late."
, the lady was frightened!”
Xiaona, who was still in shock, behaved very calmly. She first slowly smoothed her long blond hair, and then straightened her clothes. She used the time to calm down her emotions as quickly as possible.
She took a deep breath, looked up into the depths of the woods, and said, "I'm fine! Thanks to General Qi this time, if he hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid... Go and rescue General Qi quickly, don't let him fall into the trap of an assassin."
ambush."
After listening to Xiao Na's personal attendant's translation, Ye Tang and Gao Yu both responded. Ye Tang stayed behind to protect his wife, while Gao Yu mounted his horse and prepared to meet Qi Heng.
He had not taken two steps when he saw Qi Heng running back from the depths of the jungle on horseback, holding a knife in one hand and a bloody human head in the other.
"General Qi?" Gao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"The assassins are here, they are rangers from the Mo Kingdom, and there are accomplices in the city. General Gao, you are here to protect my wife. I will enter the city first and eliminate the other assassins!" While speaking, Qi Heng threw the head in his hand to Gao Yu.
, and then urged the horse to run out of the woods.
Gao Yu took the severed head, looked at it disgustingly, and threw it into the pile of assassins' corpses.
Seeing Qi Heng leaving in a hurry, Xiaona asked: "Where is General Qi going?"
"General Qi said that there are still remnants of assassins in the city, so he went into the city first to encircle and suppress them." Gao Yu didn't know whether Qi Heng's words were true or not. After a while, he not only caught up with the assassins, but also forced the assassins to confess.
Comrades, this is incredible.
After hearing this, Xiao Na nodded, looked at the people around her, and said seriously: "We can't let General Qi take risks alone. Let's go back to the city. I want to see who these assassins are who want to kill me."
backing!"
Gao Yu hurriedly said: "Madam, we don't know the assassin's situation yet, so it's better... not to return to the city yet."
Xiaona snorted and curled her lips and said, "I'm not afraid of them! Stop being so wordy and come with me!"
She ignored Gao Yu's dissuasion and returned to Yancheng with many guards. She had horses, but many of the guards were on foot, and it took a lot of time to run back to Yancheng from here.
When they came back, Qi Heng had already led his subordinates to kill all the nine dead Mo soldiers who had been ambushed in the teahouse.
There were twenty-one assassins in total who assassinated Xiaona this time. Twelve of them were ambushing in wild hunting spots, and the other nine were ambushing in teahouses. This was also a double insurance set by Qi Heng in advance.
It's a pity that these nine people didn't wait for Xiaona who returned from hunting, but instead waited for Qi Heng, the deadly god of death.
Qi Heng had already arranged for a group of elite military elites to patrol outside the city. When he returned to Yancheng, he happened to bump into this elite group of military elites. He led them into the city logically, and he arranged the siege and killing.
Assassin in the teahouse.
He had no intention of leaving anyone alive, and gave death orders to his direct military subordinates. He would rather kill all the assassins than let anyone escape.
He was the deputy commander-in-chief of the direct army, and the assassin was bold enough to assassinate his wife. How could the direct army show mercy? After destroying the teahouse, he immediately surrounded him. Without saying a word, he first fired a burst of arrows, and in the teahouse
Those ordinary tea-goers all became the burial objects of the assassins. Counting the teahouse manager and the man in charge, there were a total of twenty-six people. In the end, no one survived. They were either killed by flying arrows or were killed by Qi Heng and others who rushed in.
Kill them all.
When Xiaona rushed back, she saw Qi Heng commanding the direct army officers to move corpses out of the teahouse one after another. Many of the corpses had been beaten like hedgehogs, and their bodies were covered with dense carvings.
"Reporting to Madam, the remnants of the assassins were ambushing in this teahouse and have been killed by the general..." Before he could finish his words, several soldiers directly under his command ran over quickly holding nine consecutive crossbows and said in a hurry: "
General, these were found from corpses!" Another person held a pile of crossbow arrows and said, "These arrows have been quenched with poison."
Qi Heng picked one up casually, looked at the blue arrow on it, threw it to the ground, and roared in anger: "The assassin is rampant, audacious, and his crime is unforgivable!"
Ye Tang and Gao Yu were also secretly stunned, secretly saying that it was a dangerous situation! Fortunately, Qi Heng confessed in time and found out the assassins lurking in the city. Otherwise, if the assassins suddenly killed, the madam might really be in danger.
They both raised their hands and said, "General Qi, it's thanks to you this time, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"
Qi Heng said solemnly: "It is my duty to eliminate the assassins and protect my wife!"
All the assassins were dead and no one was left alive. Xiaona was not interested in the corpses on the ground. She said a little tiredly: "General Qi, take me back to the house!"
Although it was just an understatement, Qi Heng could feel that Madam looked at him differently.
His face straightened, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, madam!" After saying that, he left the soldiers directly under his command to clean up the scene, while he escorted Xiaona back to the palace.
Xiao Na's assassination, although it was a near miss, still caused a stir in Yancheng.
During the recent period, Yancheng has been peaceful and quiet. Unexpectedly, the assassins who were once rampant have made a comeback, and their target of assassination has gone beyond the court ministers and directly targeted the king's wife.
Not to mention that Tang Yin was angry, even Yancheng's army guards and lieutenant's mansion felt that they could not escape the blame. In the next few days, Yancheng became extremely tense. Even in broad daylight, groups of Fengjun could be seen everywhere in the city.
Go door to door to check on suspicious people.
The assassin assassinated Xiao Na, and the consequences were very serious, but Qi Heng's goal was achieved.
After this incident, Xiaona had great trust in Qi Heng and praised his spiritual skills. What surprised Xiaona was that Qi Heng was not foolhardy. He was smart and flexible, especially in
In terms of military affairs, one can understand everything from one point to another and draw inferences from one instance to another.
She explained the characteristics and tactics of heavy cavalry to Qi Heng, Ye Tang, and Gao Yu. Qi Heng would understand it only halfway through, while Ye Tang and Gao Yu would have to wait for her to finish speaking before spending more time explaining the details.
The explanation will not be thorough and clear.
In Xiaona's opinion, Qi Heng was a natural-born general, and it was perfect for him to serve as commander of the heavy cavalry regiment.
She already admired Qi Heng, and since Qi Heng had saved her life, Xiaona also wanted to help him. For this reason, she also deliberately tested Qi Heng to see if he wanted to win over the commander of the cavalry regiment.
Of course Qi Heng is willing from the bottom of his heart, but he has not forgotten Guo Jue's reminder to him that he must not act too hastily, otherwise not only will all his previous efforts be in vain, but it will also make the king suspect that he has ulterior motives and lead to death.
.
Thanks to Guo Jue's advice, Qi Heng's answer to Xiao Na was also very clever. He only said that he didn't care about his position, as long as he could do things for the country and share the worries of the king, no matter what he was asked to do. As for what he should be assigned
The king had his own mind on what position he would take, and he had never considered it.
Xiao Na was not an ordinary woman. She was born as a princess and was educated by the prince together with her brothers. She was very satisfied with Qi Heng's answer. She didn't say anything more at the time, but she went to see Tang Yin later.
He was persuaded to choose Qi Henglai as the best candidate to replace the commander of the cavalry corps.
Tang Yin knew very well that the two had been very close since Qi Heng rescued Xiao Na. Now that Xiao Na came to say good things for Qi Heng, he was happy and asked with a smile: "Qi Heng asked you to say these words.
?”
Xiaona rolled her eyes and hummed: "Am I so easy to be bribed? If Qi Heng is incompetent, even if he saves me ten times, I will not say a good word for him!"
