Next to Zhuque Road, vendors and passers-by were running away, and a dozen assassins came with swords drawn.
Zhou Shilang was so frightened that he trembled all over.
Since becoming an official, this was the first time he encountered an assassin and saw these ferocious assassins up close.
For a moment, he thought of his own mortality, his beautiful wife, his two sons who were not yet mature, and his parents who were both gray-haired.
I can't die!
Zhou Shilang was struggling in his heart and wanted to move closer to Su Lu. Governor Su commanded Wu Shuang and should be able to block the assassin for a while.
It's a pity that Governor Su is not very brave. It would be great if Governor Su, like Xietang, could escape with his life from the Western Qin Army God Li Chengfeng.
"Two people move forward to stop the enemy."
"He Chongxin, raise your gun and charge."
Zhou Shilang heard Su Lu, who was one horse behind him, issue an order.
Zhou Shilang was disappointed. Su Lugao looked at these forbidden troops from the Ministry of War. They pretended to be just a support, but if they really wanted to charge and fight, they were just fakes. Their silver spears looked like wax, but they looked good but were useless. In battle, you still have to watch.
Dingxiang army and patrol camp.
Moreover, there are not as many of them as the assassins, so it would be nice if they could not escape.
"Puff puff"
The two Forbidden Soldiers who rushed forward swept across with guns, and the two assassins who rushed forward were directly cut off in the middle, and the momentum of the assassins' charge was stalled.
The assassin fell, and the surrounding crowd fled.
Zhou Shilang was so surprised that he forgot to be afraid. What happened? He Chongxin actually had a hidden master. His marksmanship was so sharp. He was definitely a master.
The assassin's charge was delayed, and He Chongxin rushed over with his men and guns drawn. There were a lot of guns, and the gun heads flashed with a cold light, and he broke into the group of assassins.
"Puff puff"
Five or six assassins were instantly stabbed into sieves and knocked to the ground by the charging Imperial Army.
After just two confrontations, half of the assassins died, and the original numerical disadvantage was reversed in an instant.
"Stick the gun and stab again."
Zhou Shilang heard Su Lu continue to issue orders.
"Puff puff"
Six more assassins were stabbed into pieces.
The fear in Zhou Shilang's heart has completely disappeared. If two of He Chongxin's soldiers are masters of concealment, he still believes that now eleven of them are masters of concealment. What a liar!
That can only explain one situation. The reason why He Chongxin and his gang are so powerful is entirely due to Su Lu's good command and proper coordination.
"Be careful, adults"
Su Lu's reminder rang in Zhou Shilang's ears, and at the same time, a strong force pressed on the gauze crown on his head, causing Zhou Shilang to lie down on his horse.
"Shua"
The light of the sword swept across his back amid the cold wind.
Only then did Zhou Shilang realize that there were actually several assassins behind him!
If Su Lu hadn't been quick, he would have been exposed to this knife just now, and Lao Gao's head would probably have been flying.
"He Chongxin, turn around and draw your gun immediately."
Su Lu held down Zhou Shilang, and Chang Ning behind him stretched out his long sword and wrapped it around the two assassins who were attacking Zhou Shilang. When he stopped the assassins, Chang Ning did not forget to glance at Su Lu's hand holding Zhou Shilang's shoulder.
.
"Puff"
He Chongxin reacted quickly. As soon as Su Lu's order was given, he and another forbidden soldier turned around with their guns in hand. The two long spears threw out more than a dozen drops of blood and stabbed Zhou Shilang from the top of his back.
The war horses blocked the way, and the two assassins were caught off guard. They were stabbed through each other by the spears that suddenly appeared. As the two men flicked their spear heads, the bodies flew out. They looked dead and could no longer die.
The remaining assassins could no longer make trouble, so He Chongxin led a charge and killed them all.
Only then did Zhou Shilang dare to straighten his body, panting heavily, and saluted Su Lu with his fists clasped in front of his chest.
"The Governor's grace to save my life, my life-saving grace."
Su Lu patted Zhou Shilang on the shoulder, but Chang Ning glared at her and retracted her hand angrily. She thought to herself that Chang Ning couldn't do this. It's just that the princess is possessive. Why can't she turn a blind eye?
, could it be said that she also likes me?
Zhou Shilang took a look at the mess around him. The stall was in a mess, with corpses all over the ground and blood flowing like a river. He couldn't help but shudder.
Thinking that he almost died by an assassin's knife, Zhou Shilang said angrily:
"What happened to the patrol camp? It's just that we didn't find the assassin. He hasn't come here yet. I really think that our military department can't control his patrol camp, so there's nothing we can do about him Zheng Pingjing."
"Duoduoduo"
Footsteps were heard at the corner of the street in front, and a group of Imperial Guards in armor appeared. The general in scarlet robes at the head looked directly at Minister Zhou on horseback, his voice regretful.
"Hey, I met an assassin, Mr. Zhou, what a pity."
Zhou Shilang's expression immediately changed, he glanced at General Fei Pao with fear, and his voice was suppressed.
"Cao Ziwen, where is Zheng Pingjing? Someone is here to assassinate me. Where are his people?"
Cao Ziwen laughed loudly and commanded his imperial troops to take away the dead assassin's body, with a cold light flashing on his face:
"Master Zheng Pingjing was riding drunk yesterday and collided with General Xietang Xie's horse. He is still lying in bed. I, Cao Ziwen, have the final say in the patrol camp now."
Zhou Shilang's body trembled and he glanced at Cao Ziwen fearfully: "Why don't we, the Ministry of War, know about this? The patrol camp has changed its generals. Such a big thing has not gone through our Ministry of War. What are your intentions, Cao Ziwen?"
Cao Ziwen sneered: "This matter is not something you, Mr. Zhou, can interfere with. If you don't die this time, you are lucky. Mr. Zhou, please be careful when you walk in the future. You might encounter these assassins sometime."
Su Lu suddenly dismounted, walked up to an assassin who was being pulled away by the Forbidden Army, and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Brother, wait a minute."
When the imperial guards saw Su Lu's scarlet robe, they let go of the assassin and allowed Su Lu to inspect it.
Su Lu lifted the assassin's mask, looked at it for a few times, and frowned. Then he looked at the assassin's palm and accessories, and his frown deepened.
"What are you looking at? Take it away quickly."
Cao Ziwen yelled at Su Lu.
He Chongxin drew his gun and moved forward. A dozen Forbidden Soldiers stood next to Su Lu, with their gun heads standing in a row, making the arrogant Cao Ziwen take a few steps back.
Cao Ziwen glanced at He Chongxin in surprise, a little surprised.
The aura exuded by these people is very strong, they are not ordinary forbidden troops, and judging from their well-founded advance and retreat when they strangled the assassins just now, and their perfect cooperation, they are a truly powerful army, much more powerful than Xie Tang's hundreds of battles strong army.
Zhou Shilang definitely cannot afford such a forbidden army, and those in the Ministry of War are even more useless among the useless. Then these people can only be Su Lu's subordinates. Hearing that Su Lu defeated Thule in the north and was invincible, he himself
Looking at his young age, he was a little unbelievable at first, but now looking at this group of forbidden soldiers, he is really interesting.
Because he was afraid of these guards, Cao Ziwen's attitude was not as arrogant as when he faced Zhou Shilang just now.
"Captain Su, please let me go. This body is left on the street and it will have a bad influence."
Su Lu waved his hand and retreated with He Chongxin, letting Cao Ziwen's patrol battalion take away the body.
Cao Ziwen was suppressed by He Chongxin and his gang, and he did not dare to provoke Su Lu. He collected the body and walked away smoothly.
The group of people continued on the road. Zhou Shilang's face was pale, his body was shaking and he asked Su Lu: "Captain Su, what did you find on the assassin just now?"
"Cao Ziwen is a lunatic. In the past, he gave no face to anyone but the eldest son of the emperor. I didn't expect him to be so polite to you. Governor Su, do you know Cao Ziwen?"
"How could I possibly know a mad dog?"
Su Lu said casually, the clothing and clothing of the assassins flashed before his eyes, looking at their faces and clothing, they...
