Chapter 13

With the sound of the wind, the sharp arrow narrowly missed Wei Shuyi's shoulder and pierced into the trunk of the big tree behind him.

"Protect adults!"

As early as Chang Suining had spoken, Chang Ji had already drawn his sword.

Wei Shuyi came back to his senses, and held Chang Suining's arm instead, keeping her within the protection range of the guards, while pulling her back.

Chang Suining looked at the place where the cold arrow hit just now - on the other side of the river, several black shadows jumped out of the forest, they flew across the river with knives in their hands, and the water droplets splashed, reflecting the chill in the evening of early spring.

Those black shadows were swift and murderous, but they were just a few people, so they didn't seem to be anything to fear.

"Don't be careless——" Chang Suining looked at the deep forest: "There are far more people coming."

Since the men and horses chose to rest here, they must have scouted the vicinity in advance, and in order to hide and avoid being spotted, there must not be too many people lurking nearby. Fighting, the real main force has not yet appeared.

As she finished speaking, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the forest, startling the birds, and the accumulated rain in the forest shook like needles.

Chang Suining took out the dagger and held it in his hand.

Wei Shuyi was a little surprised: "?"

Ah Che, who ran towards Chang Suining, took out a kitchen knife from his arms.

Wei Shuyi: "??"

At this time, during the fight between the several men in black and the guards, the left arm of a man in black was cut off, and the stump was flying with flesh and blood.

Wei Shuyi pulled Chang Suining over, let her stand behind him, blocked the bloody scene, and ordered Chang Ji: "Take someone to protect her and get on the carriage and leave first."

"No." Chang Suining quickly vetoed: "Their target is not me, and I have the power to protect myself. There is no need to disperse manpower for me to weaken the chances of winning. It is a practical move for Ma to send a letter to the city to ask for help."

Wei Shuyi glanced sideways at her slightly, but nodded: "Okay, we will go together after we settle it."

As soon as the sound fell, there were black shadows rushing towards them, and they appeared from different directions, either coming face to face, or blocking the retreat, approaching with the momentum of encirclement, at least there were nearly a hundred people.

The purpose of this well-planned assassination couldn't be more obvious——

Kill the imperial envoy and intercept the prison car.

The number of the two sides was equal, the sound of fighting was deafening, the horses neighed in fright, and the shallow stream was already dyed red.

With a loud bang, the prison car used to escort Zhao Fu was torn apart by the knives of the two men in black.

"Stop them!"

A guard shouted.

The next moment, a man in black raised his knife again—the man in prison clothes was not rescued, but was separated on the spot.

This operation was originally not intended to intercept people, but to silence them!

Those men in black have already succeeded, but they have no plans to retreat. The leader raised his hand and said coldly: "Take Wei Shuyi's head! No one will be left alive!"

Wei Shuyi, who had been "predetermined to take the head", shook his head and sighed: "I'll just say, this imperial envoy sounds respectable, but it's clearly an errand for licking blood with the tip of a knife."

Chang Suining turned his head, and saw a helpless and complaining face.

This is being assassinated, right?
Chang Suining held the mood of "I'm not sure, let's see again", and looked around at the swords and swords fighting - is Wei Shuyi stupid, or does he have another reliance?
The people in the prison car were dead, and the men in black surrounded Wei Shuyi.

They attacked fiercely, no matter how they were structured, they only wanted to kill people. Some people raised their knives and approached, and some archers opened their bows and crossbows in the dark. All of a sudden, the offensive came out, and the sharp arrows came.

Chang Ji brandished his saber to block the arrows, while a group of guards protected Wei Shuyi and retreated into the forest.

Chang Suining didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wei Shuyi's gourd, so he simply snatched the kitchen knife from Ah Che who was trembling because of being too nervous. You can't just follow this person and just explain it like this!

She is not afraid of death, but this method of death is too useless and muddled, it is not suitable for her, she does not like it.

Chang Suining was about to take Ah Che back to the depths of the forest, and wait to get away from Wei Shuyi, a rake, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a cold killing intent coming from above his head.

Although she has no strength now, the awareness of danger that has been engraved into the marrow of her bones is still there-it is not a talent, but a survival instinct accumulated after experiencing countless life and death dangers.

In an instant, she raised her eyes suddenly, and her gaze was almost precisely locked on the man in black hiding among the branches and leaves of the big tree.

The man in black with the bow in his hand thought he was hiding very well, and suddenly met a pair of dark, cold eyes unexpectedly. After a moment of surprise, he quickly set his arrow on the string.

There was still the sound of fighting all around, and all this happened only in the blink of an eye, without attracting the attention of the third person——

Chang Suining dropped the kitchen knife in his hand and threw himself at Wei Shuyi vigorously. Both of them fell to the ground heavily and rolled down the slope in the forest.

Almost at the same moment, the arrow sank deeply into the soil where Wei Shuyi was standing just now.

"Lang Jun!"

"There are also ambushes in the forest, be careful!"

"Protect your lord!"

Although Wei Shuyi is a civil servant under his family, he is not a weak scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. He has also practiced martial arts since he was a child. Taking the initiative, he protected Chang Suining's head with his arms, and hit the big tree heavily on his back.

When he made a soft "hiss", Chang Suining had already sat up, moving as fast as a rabbit.

Enduring the pain, Wei Shuyi sat up, put his hands on his sides, and looked up at her.

"It seems that someone is coming again—" The girl listened intently, recognized the sound of horseshoes, and asked him impatiently, "Wei Shuyi, do you have a way out?"

If he continues to toss, she really doesn't care about him!

It's not easy for his mother's sake!
She had only died once, and she didn't want to die again and again—it seemed really useless to let herself die so frequently, and it was a waste of the good intentions of Lord Yan to give her food and food at the risk of losing her job.

"Yes." Seeing her impatience, Wei Shuyi even smiled, nodded and said, "There is a way out."

He said, looking towards the direction outside the forest: "Look, the helper is here."

Chang Suining followed his line of sight, and that was the direction from which the sound of horseshoes came.

Changji stepped forward to help Wei Shuyi.

The few people who were ambushing in the forest have been eliminated, Wei Shuyi brushed the grass clippings on his wide sleeves: "Let's go, go see old friends."

Chang Suining looked at the looming people and horses in the twilight, his heart beat a few times, as if he had received some kind of guidance, he walked forward slowly.

The person who came was a friend rather than an enemy, and the situation was quickly reversed.

"Quickly retreat!" The men in black saw that the situation was not good, so they wanted to retreat.

The next moment, the figure of the leader in black suddenly stopped and froze in place.He lowered his head with difficulty, only to see a blood hole in his heart, and blood gushing out.

He didn't even see what went through his body.

But Chang Suining could see it clearly—that sharp arrow just now was coming at lightning speed, piercing flesh and blood, as easily and without hindrance as passing through a piece of window paper.

Her gaze went to the person who shot the arrow.

The sunset glow under the cloudy and sunny weather is always extraordinarily beautiful, but unfortunately before it has time to appreciate it, there is only the last ray left, which is about to disappear into the sky——

Before the last ray of sunset disappeared, someone drove the horse slowly. The horse was completely black and shiny, and the person sitting on the horse was also wearing a black armor. He held the rein in one hand and the bow in the other, and his whole body was fierce and fierce.

Chang Suining's eyes fell on the longbow in his hand.

If she is not mistaken, this bow should be...

"Governor Cui, long time no see." Wei Shuyi interrupted Chang Suining's thoughts.

Governor Cui?

This is—the Cui Jing who is now leading the Xuance Army?
Chang Suining moved his gaze upwards and subconsciously looked at the man's face.
