Feng Qingchen was stunned. She never thought that someone would be so bold and spend so much blood to kill her.
But the current situation did not allow her to think too much. Seeing that the huge crossbow arrow was about to be shot in front of her, Feng Qingchen quickly stood up. Only then did she realize that something was wrong. She would be dead if she tried to get up.
Under the exclamations of Guo Baoji and the Valley Master, Feng Qingchen fell directly back and clung to the ground. The crossbow arrow flew over Feng Qingchen's head and shot towards the shelf behind him.
The shelf used to display the goods fell over due to the huge impact...all the cloth on the shelf was thrown forward.
Feng Qingchen had just escaped, but before he could even take a breath, he was almost crushed to death by a shelf.
Feng Qingchen held his head with both hands and rolled up on the ground. His injured waist hit something and it hurt suddenly. Feng Qingchen's face turned white in a flash. He stretched out his hand to touch...
The sticky blood made Feng Qingchen understand that she was injured again.
"Qingchen..." In panic, the Valley Master and Guo Baoji reached out to Feng Qingchen, but as soon as they took a step, another crossbow arrow shot in from outside the house, and they had to retreat.
"Run quickly, they are coming for me." Feng Qingchen, with her long hair tangled around her face, quickly shouted to Guo Baoji. Feng Qingchen held the gun and jumped up from the spot.
This shop was smashed to pieces and could not withstand the next wave of crossbow attacks. Feng Qingchen had to leave for both herself and Guo Baoji's safety.
"Be careful and leave me separately." Feng Qingchen shot out the flying tiger claw in his hand, and with the help of the power of the flying tiger claw, he flew into the opposite street.
Feng Qingchen's guess was correct. As soon as Feng Qingchen left, the direction of the crossbow's attack also changed. The crossbow arrow followed Feng Qingchen and shot at Feng Qingchen again.
The other party made it clear that they wanted to put Feng Qingchen to death.
The imperial guards were the emperor's cronies. They followed the emperor's orders to protect Guo Baoji and the Valley Master. The emperor did not mention protecting Feng Qingchen. At this time, the assassins attacked Feng Qingchen with all their strength. Naturally, they would not rush forward to block Feng Qingchen's arrows.
.
The crossbow arrows went all the way and shot straight towards Feng Qingchen.
This was not enough. The group of men in black seemed to see that the imperial guards had no intention of protecting Feng Qingchen, and directly shouted: "The one we want to kill is Feng Qingchen. Get the rest of the people out of the way. We will not hurt him in the slightest."
Normally, the Imperial Guard would hesitate for a moment or two, but this time it was different.
The emperor emphasized the importance of the Valley Master and Guo Baoji more than once. They were the only two people they wanted to protect. As long as nothing happened to them, they would not be derelict in their duties.
Huh... the Praetorian Guards retreated to make way for the assassins.
"Do you have to be so shameless?" Feng Qingchen had an injury on his waist, and he had just fallen hard again. This group of people had no energy to hide in the store anymore, so they could only dodge in embarrassment. Now as soon as the imperial guards gave way, the assassins directly
Rushing forward, Feng Qingchen couldn't escape at all.
"These imperial guards are so useless." The valley owner jumped in anger, and Guo Baoji's eyes also flashed with anger.
The emperor wouldn't think that Feng Qingchen's life and death had nothing to do with his illness, right?
If Feng Qingchen died here, they just thought that Uncle Nine Emperors would not allow them to attract the poison to the emperor. Uncle Nine Emperors would let them activate the poison and cause the emperor to live and die in pain.
Feng Qingchen kept running forward, while the assassin chased him all the way. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, Guo Baoji couldn't stand anymore and rushed out regardless of his own injuries: "I'm going to help Qingchen."
Without rescue, Qingchen would only die. She was a weak woman and was no match for these assassins.
"No, you are still injured." The owner of the valley grabbed Guo Baoji and said, "Besides, they won't let us move."
The imperial guards stepped forward at the right time and spread out in a semicircle to protect the valley owner and Guo Baoji in the middle, while preventing them from rushing out to save others.
"Get out of the way." Guo Baoji said, but the imperial guards remained indifferent, as if they didn't hear anything. Guo Baoji wanted to take action, but was stopped by the valley owner: "Don't go, you and I can't help."
The Valley Master had understood the situation a long time ago. If it hadn't been like this, he would have spoken and asked the imperial guards to rescue Feng Qingchen.
The assassin was only about ten meters away from Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen turned around and fired two shots, but they had no effect.
If she continued like this, she would be dead. Feng Qingchen was so anxious that her mind kept spinning, thinking about how to survive.
It would be unjust for her to die in the imperial city.
Soon, the distance of ten meters turned into ten steps. Feng Qingchen's breathing became heavier and his heart beat faster and faster. Seeing a corner in front of him, Feng Qingchen shot out the flying tiger claw again...
Hope came quickly, hoping to escape this knife. Feng Qingchen prayed silently in his heart, but before the flying tiger claw could be shot out, the assassin raised his knife and slashed at Feng Qingchen's back.
Behind him, the whistling wind of the sword made people shudder. Just when Feng Qingchen thought he was dead this time, a black figure suddenly rushed out and swung out the long sword in his hand. With a clang, he just blocked the assassin's knife.
"If you dare to kill the people I protect, you will die!" With a sweep of the long sword, a silver light flashed, and the assassin fell to the ground with a bang.
There is help.
Feng Qingchen looked surprised and turned to look at the visitor: "Zuo'an, you are finally here. I thought I would die here."
Just now, she really thought she was dead.
"There are too many people in the imperial city." Zuo An explained coldly, protecting Feng Qingchen behind him.
There are too many guards, so he can't get too close.
"It's okay, just come here." Feng Qingchen leaned against the door of a shop, panting heavily, and took the opportunity to fire a cold shot.
She was almost exhausted from running. Now that she was saved, she really didn't want to move a step.
Although there were many assassins, Zuo An's martial arts was stronger. Although he could not kill all the assassins instantly, he could still prevent them from entering. In addition, Feng Qingchen fired from time to time, and the assassins were at a disadvantage for a while.
It will do no good to the assassins to drag on like this. This is the Imperial City Street. Although the martial law is under martial law, someone will soon notice the movement here. As long as it takes a stick of incense on the left bank, it will be enough time to wait for reinforcements.
Obviously, the assassins also understood this truth. They looked at each other, and the assassins suddenly dispersed from both sides...
"Left Bank, Xin." Feng Qingchen knew that the other party was going to use the ballista, so he quickly dodged to the back of the shop.
Sure enough, as soon as the assassin retreated, the crossbow arrows were fired towards the left bank.
The attack of crossbows was so fast and fierce that even Zuo An did not dare to confront them and could only dodge. However, those assassins seemed to be risking their lives and directly blocked Zuo An's retreat with their bodies.
"These people are courageous." Not everyone can be fearless of life and death, even dead soldiers will be cowardly at times. These people are very strong.
Since someone was sent to die, Zuo An would not be polite. He stabbed him with his sword. When the crossbow hit him, Zuo An directly pushed the man in black in front of him...
One, two, three...
When the crossbow shot came, Zuo An was about to throw the fourth person out, but it was too late. The crossbow shot through the first one and flew straight back without any slowing down...
Bang... The left bank, which was blocked by three people in front, was not penetrated by the crossbow arrows, but was knocked away due to the impact of the crossbow arrows.
It is a powerful siege weapon, and its reputation is not in vain!
