Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 17 Stage and Actors

"Brothers, go around this bend, and everyone can rest. Keep going!"

On the winding official road in the mountains, there was a shout.

Hearing his boss's words, the government soldiers who were a little sluggish from the sun finally lifted their spirits, and their pace quickened a little without knowing it.

In the middle of the convoy, Zhao Yu, who was riding on a horse, looked around at the dense forest, and suddenly turned around and asked:
"Youwei, why is this mountain forest so quiet?"

Zhang Xiu didn't take it seriously at first, and followed Zhao Yu's words and replied: "Master Hou, in such a horrible weather, those birds may have been wilted by the heat... No!"

Speaking of this, there seemed to be a flash of thunder in his mind. His intuition as a general made his face change instantly. Dignified, this confirmed his own judgment.

"Master Hou, be careful, there is an ambush here!"

Zhang Xiu yelled.

At the moment when he spoke to remind, more than a dozen logs were seen drawing perfect arcs and swinging out of the dense forest on both sides.

Dozens of government soldiers walking in front of the team were caught off guard and were hit by a log with huge kinetic energy.

Accompanied by screams, figures were knocked into the air and then fell heavily.

In just an instant, nearly half of the nearly [-] government soldiers walking in front of the team had suffered casualties, and the morale of the rest had plummeted.

"kill!"

A series of black shadows covered with black scarves rushed out from the dense forest, killing the government soldiers who were in chaos and retreating steadily. Fortunately, the captains and their cronies held on desperately, which barely stabilized the situation.

"Hey, what are those scouts doing? They haven't even found such a big trap!"

Seeing that the situation ahead was becoming more and more unfavorable, Zhang Xiu spat on the ground bitterly, then held the gun in his hand and raised his fist towards Zhao Yu.

"Master Hou, just sit here, I will come back as soon as I go!"

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was about to turn the horse's head as soon as he pulled the rein, leading more than a dozen bodyguards to rush over, Zhao Yu frowned and shouted sharply:

"Youwei, stop for Benhou!"

"Master Hou?"

There was a hint of doubt in Zhang Xiu's voice.

Saving people is like putting out a fire, this is the time, if you don't save them, then all the government soldiers will be trapped in it.

"The other party is here for Ben Hou!"

Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and said bitterly, a rare hint of ferocity and relaxation appeared on his handsome face.

Regarding the fact that those assassins would make a comeback, he and Wang Pu had already reached a consensus before setting off.

Although I have already prepared in my heart, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it.

He was always on tenterhooks along the way.

Now that the group of thieves finally appeared, he was relieved.

"Youwei, sit here and command the guards! Yu Neng!"

"Master Hou, the end is here!"

Hearing Zhao Yu's call, a burly man in iron armor among the guards of the palace answered loudly.

Yu Neng, before Zhang Xiu served Zhao Yu, was the leader of the family general who was in charge of training the guards in the Marquis of An Guo's Mansion.

After Zhang Xiu came to An Guohou's mansion, Yu Neng lost to Zhang Xiu because his skills were inferior to others in the competition, so he willingly became his opponent's deputy.

"You lead 50 people to support, tell Wang Duwei and the others that if you hold on for another quarter of an hour, the general's reinforcements will arrive here!"

"Here!"

Yu Neng clasped his fists and agreed with a bang.

"Lao Li, Xiao Di, take your men and follow me to kill the thief!"

Amidst Yu Neng's shouts, two teams of 50 people were separated from nearly a hundred palace guards, and they ran towards the front of the convoy together with him, leaving only this sentence for Zhang Xiu.

"General Zhang, if Master Hou makes any mistakes, I, Old Yu, will not be able to spare you even if I turn into a ghost!"

"This guy……"

For a moment, Zhang Xiu didn't know whether to be angry or funny.

"Youwei, divide ten more people from the guards and go to the back of the motorcade to protect your aunt."

Zhao Yu ordered.

"Master Hou, this...then your side..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu opened his mouth again and again, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"The Marquis is not afraid of him coming, but I am afraid that he will not come! Today I want to see what kind of skills these assassins have to come and take this Marquis's head! What's more, if it weren't for Youwei's guard, why would the Marquis be afraid?" Is there?"

Zhao Yu laughed.

On the other side, Wang Pu also nodded slightly to indicate to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and said heavily: "Aunt Xiu Dai thanked Lord Hou!"

In a few breaths, the palace guards beside Zhao Yu have lost more than half, from nearly a hundred to more than forty.

This Marquis has set up the stage for you, so don't disappoint this Marquis' kindness!

Zhao Yu looked ahead calmly, thinking to himself.

…………

Oh!

Pulling out the long sword in his hand from the chest of a soldier, and wiping the blood on the sword on the corpse, the assassin leader named Wu stood up and looked around the battlefield slowly.

I saw that his assassins had gained an absolute advantage. Nearly [-]% of the nearly [-] soldiers were killed or injured. The remaining dozen soldiers formed a round formation under the organization of the captains and barely defended themselves. However, it would only take time for them to be wiped out. question.

"Brothers, hold on!"

The long knife in Captain Wang's hand flew up and down, knocking an assassin in black to the ground, and shouted loudly.

However, before he could draw back his sword and return his breath, another assassin stepped forward, stabbing his throat with a long sword in his hand!
Wang Duwei, who was unable to catch up, watched this scene helplessly but could do nothing, and could not help but lament in his heart.

My life is over!But I don't want to die here today!

At the same time when Captain Wang had almost given up, a flying knife came from far to near with a shrill scream, and stabbed heavily into the back of the assassin.

The assassin paused for a moment as if the pause button had been pressed, and then fell in front of Captain Wang. Immediately afterwards, Yu Neng's heroic laughter rang out.

"Brother Wang, how about Yu Mou's knife?"

Captain Wang, who was almost on the verge of death, glanced at the other party gratefully, then nodded.

"The Marquis asked me to come to the aid of our brothers! Hold on, guys. The general's men will be here soon. When the time comes, these bastards will pay with their blood!"

Are there reinforcements from the general?
Fight!

Hearing Yu Neng's voice, the chests of the remaining soldiers suddenly surged with enthusiasm, and with the remaining courage, they killed the opponent by surprise.

As Yu Neng led fifty guards to join the battle group, the strength of the two sides tended to be balanced, and the battle fell into a stalemate again.

"That old bandit Huang even sent troops? We must fight quickly, otherwise we will be defeated once the reinforcements arrive!"

Leader Wu, who was commanding from a distance, frowned and turned to look at the swordsman surnamed Shi who was standing with his sword in hand.

"It seems that the young master can only entrust Master Shi first, and leave the one here to me."

"Shi was entrusted by others, it's just a matter of loyalty. This general, let's go!"

Master Shi, who was dressed as a soldier, nodded indifferently and looked at Captain Ji Shi Kang Ji aside.

Being stared at by the opponent, Ji Shikang felt as if he was being stared at by a lone wolf naked, and couldn't help shivering.

Seeing the impatient look in the opponent's eyes, Ji Shikang's heart shuddered, he nodded hurriedly, and led the opponent towards Zhao Yu's position.
