The guard was hit by an arrow and fell off the carriage. Before he could get up from the ground, the oncoming Assassin cavalry trampled over him.
Even the weight of the man and the horse exceeds a thousand kilograms. No matter how hard the spiritual armor on the guard is, it cannot withstand such a force of trampling. After the assassin's cavalry ran over him, he looked at the guard and saw that he had been trampled to pieces.
Bloody man.
The assassins kept firing arrows while chasing the carriage, and arrows flew into the carriage from time to time. The two maids beside Li Mei'er had already picked up the spirit swords and dialed the arrows that flew in, even using their own swords.
He threw his body to block the arrow and tried his best to protect Li Meier.
Soon, the assassin's arrows also affected the guard driving the carriage. He was hit by arrows in the back and back of the head one after another, and his spiritual armor was penetrated. He screamed and fell off the carriage.
Seeing this, Huihong could only leave the task of protecting Li Meier to Cuilu. She got out of the carriage herself, continued to drive the carriage, and ran forward.
As the assassins chased him closer and closer, they shot more and more arrows, and their power became stronger and stronger.
It was no longer easy to deal with the assassins chasing after them, but misfortunes never come singly. Another group of assassins appeared on the road ahead, and they also set up horse resistance on the street to block the carriage from continuing to move forward.
Hui Hong, who was driving the carriage, saw it clearly, and her expression suddenly changed. At the critical moment, she didn't have time to think too much, and hurriedly pulled the reins tightly to stop the galloping horse.
There are interceptions in front and pursuers behind, what should I do? Hui Hong's heart has risen to her throat, and the clothes in her spiritual armor are almost soaked with sweat. She stares at the dozen or so assassins in front of her, clenching her fists.
Gotta be tight.
At this time, Li Meier in the carriage struggled to get out of the carriage. She looked at the assassins in front of her and sighed in her heart. The ministers of Anguo still didn't want to let her go!
She said to Huihong and Cuilu beside her: "The person they want to kill is me. I shouldn't make things difficult for you two. Don't worry about me anymore. Let's go!"
Huihong and Cuilu burst into tears when they heard this. The two girls shook their heads and choked with sobs: "Even if we are going to die, we will die with the lady!"
"Why is this necessary..." Li Meier said softly.
The assassins who were catching up from behind dismounted one after another, and the assassins in front also jumped over the horses. Two waves of assassins surrounded the carriage from one front to the other, trapping the carriage in the middle.
Some of these assassins were wearing spiritual armor, and some were carrying spiritual soldiers. When they saw Li Meier on the carriage, people's eyes varied, ranging from surprise to hatred.
"Witch, your death has come!" An assassin walked out from the crowd, holding a long spiritual spear in his hand, pointing at Li Meier, and walked towards her quickly.
Without thinking, Huihong and Cuilu both jumped out of the carriage and blocked the man's way. The assassin sneered and swung the spirit spear in his hand, hitting the two women's waists.
Seeing that the opponent's spirit spear was too powerful and heavy to deal with, the two women dodged sideways in unison. Taking advantage of the gap between them to step aside, the assassin rushed to the carriage and raised his hand to grab Li Meier in the carriage.
After secretly screaming, Huihong and Cuilu tried to come back to rescue them, but it was already too late.
At this critical moment, swish, swish, swish, three crossbow arrows flew in the air continuously, and they were all nailed to the assassin's back. The crossbow arrows failed to penetrate his spiritual armor, but they still caused the assassin to stagger.
His head hit the car.
Are there any palace guards nearby? All the assassins were shocked and subconsciously looked in the direction of the crossbow arrows. They saw a young man dressed as an ordinary citizen standing on the eaves of the roadside, holding a repeating crossbow in his hand.
If he's not a bodyguard, who is he? The assassins were full of doubts. At the moment when they hesitated, dozens of men dressed as ordinary people crowded into the alleys on both sides of the street. Some of them were spiritual cultivators and some were ordinary people.
, charging towards the assassins regardless.
The assassins came to their senses one after another, and without talking nonsense, they raised the weapons in their hands and fought with these unknown people. After a short time, the streets became chaotic, and the sounds of weapons clashing with each other were heard one after another.
The assassin holding the gun shook his body, raised his hand again, and wanted to catch Li Meier, but before his fingers touched Li Meier, dozens of crossbow arrows flew over and nailed him, making a clanging sound.
There was a sound, and the assassin's body fell straight down.
A middle-aged man dressed as a commoner sprang out from the battlefield, rushed up to Huihong and Cuilu, and said urgently: "You two, escort the young lady out of the city quickly, we are here to support them!"
Huihong and Cuilu took a closer look, and were surprised and happy. They both knew this middle-aged man. He was Cai Bo, the Cai family's hometown slave and one of the Cai family's stewards in Yuzhen.
The two women were ecstatic, nodded with tears in their eyes, and quickly returned to the carriage. They looked up and saw that the horses on the street in front had also been moved away by the Cai family. Without further delay, the two women drove the carriage from the center of the battlefield.
Ran out everywhere.
"We must not let the witch escape!" the assassins shouted, many of them abandoned the enemies on the opposite side and rushed towards the carriage like crazy.
The Cai family members dressed as ordinary people also ignored their personal life and death and desperately grabbed and hugged the assassin. Even if they were beaten to death by the opponent, they still held on tightly and refused to let go.
The scene was in chaos, with people on their backs and shouting constantly. Many assassins and Cai family members had rolled into a ball on the ground, with their faces and bodies covered in dust.
Huihong and Cuilu had no time to care about others, they whipped their horses vigorously and galloped forward.
On the way, an unknown number of assassins threw themselves against the walls of the carriage, but were immediately pulled down by the Cai family. People from both sides could be seen fighting and killing each other wherever the carriage passed.
It can be said that in order to protect Li Meier from leaving the city safely, the Cai family has spent all the capital they have worked hard on for decades in Yuzhen. Cai Gui also clearly mentioned in the letter to them that they must protect Li Meier at any cost.
Li Meier.
There are reasons why Cai Gui is so willing to give up the Cai family's capital in Yuzhen. First, Yuzhen will be captured by the Feng army sooner or later. Sooner or later, it will be the territory of Feng country. The Cai family's lurking personnel in Yuzhen have lost their existence.
meaning, it can be sacrificed.
Secondly, Li Meier's incident was planned by him. He had to do it beautifully and complete it, and he would naturally be greatly appreciated by Tang Yin. As far as the Cai family was concerned, sacrificing this few people would be the only way to get the king's appreciation.
In comparison, the loss is negligible.
For these two reasons, Cai Gui would rather trade the lives of all the Cai family members in Yuzhen for the safe return of Li Meier.
The fighting along the way caused chaos in the North City of Yuzhen. However, the government officials and soldiers in the city did not appear for a long time, as if they had no idea what was happening in the North City.
Li Meier knew full well that there were too many people who wanted to kill her, and they were all senior officials of the Anguo court. It was impossible for the government officials and soldiers in the city to rush over and stop the assassins.
Under the desperate protection of the Cai family, Hui Hong and Cui Lu finally drove the carriage to the gate of the North City. Looking at the carriage at this time, it looked like an arrow target, with countless arrows stuck in it, and another
There were so many cuts and cuts, it was extremely embarrassing.
At the gate of the North City, soldiers were stationed up and down the city wall, especially the An army on the top of the city. They were full of murderous intent, twisting their bows and setting arrows, and were ready, and the arrows were all aimed at the carriages under the city wall.
Huihong and Cuilu looked at each other, and their hearts that had just dropped were in their throats again. Judging from their posture, the defenders here in Beicheng must also be in the same group as the assassins!
Cui Lu plucked up the courage, got off the carriage, walked a few steps forward, held high the token of King An Yueze, and shouted to An Jun on the top of the city: "Mrs. Yaning has been ordered by the king to leave the city. Please open the city as soon as possible."
Door!"
The commander of the North City, Lieutenant General Anguo Cheng Huaisong, was standing in the city gate tower at this time. He looked at the carriage under the city and the token in the green hand, his brows were furrowed and his fists were clenched subconsciously.
In the palm of his hand, he also held a secret letter that had just been sent. It was the handwriting of Left Prime Minister Gao Zhen, instructing him to kill Mrs. Yaning immediately without interrogation if he saw her wanting to leave the city.
"General, give the order!" Seeing that he had not given the order for a long time, the deputy general on the side rubbed his hands anxiously, stepped forward, and urged in a low voice.
Cheng Huaisong's face was gloomy and he was still speechless. He had to obey the left prime minister's orders, but how could he disobey the king's order? With the king on one side and the ministers in the court on the other, who should he listen to?
"General, we can't delay any longer!" the deputy general said urgently: "If the general has concerns, it will be up to the general to give the order. If the king pursues the case, it will be the responsibility of the general alone..."
"Can you afford it?!" Cheng Huaisong suddenly turned his head, glared at the deputy general behind him, and said in a serious voice: "This is not a matter of losing your head and not involving the nine tribes, but also a matter of reputation. Killing your wife is nothing.
It is different from treason and tantamount to treason, do you understand?"
"General, for the sake of personal life and death and reputation, do you want to return this witch to the Feng Kingdom? I am the country of An, and it is all because of her!" The lieutenant held the sword and said through gritted teeth.
"How can a mere woman have such great abilities? Even without Li Mei'er, how could Anguo, our country, be able to stop the wolves in the north!" Cheng Huaisong sighed quietly. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally he thought.
A decision was made.
He tore the shocking oracle in his hand into pieces, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Send my general to open the city gate and send my wife out of the city!"
"General -" the deputy general's eyes were so anxious that he knelt down on his knees, grabbed his arm, and shouted in a tearful voice: "You can't do that, general!"
Cheng Huaisong shook his arm fiercely and said coldly: "I have made up my mind, no need to persuade me any more!"
As he spoke, he quickly got off the city wall, separated the many soldiers in front of the city gate, walked to the carriage, stepped in and saluted, and said: "General Cheng Huaisong, please see Madam! I don't know that Madam is here, and General will not be able to welcome you from afar. Please welcome me."
Madam, please forgive me!"
Cuilu stared at Cheng Huaisong, swallowed subconsciously, stepped forward, handed the token forward, and asked in a trembling voice: "Madam has been ordered to leave the city, will you let her go?" Her words were strong, but trembling.
