She Song

Chapter 267 Assassin in the Valley
The winter ice and snow covered the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers in white, but they saw a group of carriages and horses on the road passing by Yanjing and heading straight towards the northern mountainous area.

In a valley ten miles north of Yanjing, there is a bustling scene of people. This is the new concept villa designed by the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, which spent [-] yuan to purchase the land and was designed by Yanjing's well-known skilled craftsmen.

Han Xiaoyao and Shen Erniang rode in front, while Zhao Fujin, Shen Sanniang, and Wang Zhixian followed in carriages. Of course, Jiang Queer and Huandie, with more than two hundred royal guards and internal security guards, had already prepared security along the way.

The group of people entered the valley, and Jiang Queer immediately sealed off the valley and ran to the highest point on the valley to monitor the surrounding situation. The task of protecting the important personnel of the palace was left to Huandie. Most of the special agents she brought were female team members. .

The hinterland of the valley is relatively open, with rivers, lakes, vegetation and woodlands all available. The north and south valley entrances are easy to defend but difficult to attack. The surrounding mountains are not conducive to the movement of large groups of people. According to Jiang Queer's estimate, as long as 1 elite troops are required to defend it, even if [-] people come to guard it, It cannot be broken by humans.

The buildings in the villa are all next to the lake, and there are seven villas in total, one large and six small, corresponding to the Big Dipper stars in the sky.

Although Han Xiaoyao is basically a materialist, he does as the Romans do. The three garden designers agreed that this Feng Shui layout can help trigger the connection between heaven and man.

After Han Xiaoyao looked at the layout and renderings, although he didn't sense God's will, the effect was absolutely brilliant with the help of famous experts.

Since it looks good, let’s settle on it.

Although the foundation of the main villa group has been laid, although the main body has not yet been built, the structure can already be seen clearly, because the construction is undertaken by the engineering department, the quality and speed are absolutely guaranteed.

A total of two hundred people participated in the construction, and the construction period was scheduled for three months. Han Xiaoyao also brought wine and meat purchased at his own expense this time. He caused a sensation as soon as he entered the construction site.

Han Xiaoyao expressed his gratitude to them for insisting on starting work even in the ice and snow.

The assistant of the engineering department who supervises the work is a senior carpenter. After Han Xiaoyao expressed his condolences, he said on behalf of everyone: "What the prince said is too outrageous! If the prince hadn't led everyone to find a way out, I would have been an old man long ago. It's buried by the Yellow River. Now that the royal palace's big day is approaching, we can't wait to use one day as two days to build the villa as soon as possible."

Han Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but only if you have a good rest can you work well. Don't work tiredly. Safety must be the first priority at all times!"

The old carpenter nodded repeatedly, promising to abide by the rules and regulations, and then invited the prince to have lunch with him.

"There are a lot of game in the forest. I will let the boys catch some and bring them back for the princes and princesses to try."

Han Xiaoyao, who originally planned to share food and fun with the people, did not refuse. Not only did he agree, he even offered to participate in hunting together.

The prince likes hunting, so the old carpenter naturally follows the trend and appoints five or six young people who are good at hunting to accompany Han Xiaoyao into the mountains and forests.

Han Xiaoyao's sudden rise in hunting made Huandie very embarrassed, because it would inevitably cause the guards to disperse, but because Shen Erniang was also excited to follow, Huandie did not stop him in the end.

She arranged for six special agents to follow, and the female special agents stayed behind to protect Maode, Sanniang and Princess Wang Zhixian of Korea.

So, Han Xiaoyao, Shen Erniang and more than ten people rode into the forest. The mountains were covered with heavy snow. Many small animals came out to look for food in the snow, and large and medium-sized beasts would also take the opportunity to hunt them.

Therefore, as soon as the hunting team entered the forest, the prey was panicked. However, Han Xiaoyao, who practiced his shooting skills diligently every day, not only restored the level of his later generations, but even became more accurate on moving targets.

Although Shen Erniang has good wrist strength, she is a little less accurate, so the prey she catches is much worse than Han Xiaoyao. However, she is also very happy that her sweetheart is better than herself.

Just as everyone continued to go deeper into the forest, more than ten warriors wearing white cloaks appeared behind them.

One of the rugged men observed the terrain, and probably felt that the wilderness was a good time to take action, so he made arrangements for his men. When everyone knew their positions, he smiled and said: "Brothers, I will do this for a hundred thousand dollars." You’ve got it, go south and be a rich man and live happily!”

At this time, a subordinate asked: "Will the Jurchens cheat?" The leader said: "The money has been given to the middleman. I have seen that there is no problem. As long as we kill the King of Zhenbei, the money will be ours!"

"Then do it!" The eyes of this group of desperadoes showed greedy looks.

The leader waved his hand, and six or seven skilled assassins quietly surrounded them from both sides, while the remaining seven or eight moved forward steadily.

The reason why they dare to be so unscrupulous is because there is a cliff not far ahead, and Han Xiaoyao and others will be surrounded on three sides and have no way to escape.

As the assassins quickly approached, the special service had discovered unusual signs.

"There are unidentified people appearing nearby, please leave quickly, Your Majesty!"

Han Xiaoyao frowned. If there was an assassination targeting him, the problem would be more serious, because he made the decision to come here last night. Very few people knew about it, and it was almost impossible for these people to participate in this conspiracy.

But he believed in the opinions of professionals. After thinking about it, he ordered to abandon the prey and move quickly outside the forest.

Several young people accompanying the engineering team on the hunt were stunned.

This valley is usually not accessible to outsiders, especially since the prince came and it was sealed off at the front and back. How could an assassin sneak in?Could it be that the royal guards missed someone while on defense?

Just when the group of people changed their direction, more than ten figures suddenly appeared in the trees on the left and right and behind them, and launched a rapid attack.

It really is an assassin!
"Boom boom boom~"

The familiar sound of machine gunfire made the expressions of the special agents change drastically.

The assassins used a quiver-type continuous crossbow, the standard equipment of the Zhen Guojun. Judging from the rhythm of the firing sounds, this group of assassins is definitely a veteran.

Except for the special agent who carried a repeating crossbow, Han Xiaoyao and the others carried bows and arrows, which undoubtedly lacked half the firepower. They were currently in a dangerous situation!

The two special agents released red flares into the sky without hesitation, and then pulled Han Xiaoyao and Shen Erniang to hide behind the trees, while the four special agents dealt with the young Orion and the assassin.

The warning signal bomb exploded in mid-air twenty feet above the ground. After discovering the incident, the personal guards and internal guards rushed to the forest where the incident occurred.

However, the assassins are not only vicious, but also elusive, appearing and disappearing in the mountains and forests, and taking bites unexpectedly.

After a while, three Orions and two Special Agents were injured and unable to fight, leaving only two Orions and two Special Agents barely holding on.

However, the assassin leader knew almost everything about this and ordered all members to charge without giving Han Xiaoyao's guards a chance to breathe. So Han Xiaoyao also took the opportunity to counterattack and shot an assassin. However, the strength and number of the assassins had greatly exceeded Han Xiaoyao's.

Facing an unstoppable attack, Han Xiaoyao and Shen Erniang inevitably retreated to the edge of the cliff.

The assassins raised their crossbows, aimed at the tall body standing in front of Shen Erniang, killed him, took the money and left, happily ever after!

At the critical moment, a loud noise came from nearby. The assassins turned their heads subconsciously, but they were shocked out of their wits...
