While Zhong Yangui was thinking about it, not far ahead was the house where Shen Liniang lived. A skilled dead man climbed up the wall in three clicks, then jumped down and disappeared on the wall. Everyone was waiting to enter first. The companion opened the courtyard door and let them in, but heard a very short scream coming from the courtyard, which was vaguely the voice of the companion who had just jumped off the wall.
"Be careful, there is a secret attack in the courtyard!" Zhong Yangui shouted, but his mind started to spin rapidly. The dead soldiers who came with him this time were all elite, and they would not be without space when they climbed down the wall. Ye Sheng was obviously killed without any resistance. Although his opponent took advantage of the sneak attack, his martial arts skills should not be underestimated. Ordinarily, there should be no guards around Lu Fang, so Shen Liniang should be the one to take action. I thought that this woman who had lived in the palace for a long time was just a sword dance for people to watch, but I didn't expect that she really was a murderer. Thinking of this, Zhong Yangui not only did not feel scared, but instead felt an inexplicable excitement in his chest.
"Shen Liniang is inside, and Lu Fang should not be far away!" Zhong Yangui glanced at the roadside. A piece of wood as thick as a thigh was abandoned on the ground. He coughed, pointed to the broken wood on the ground, and two understanding men bent down. He lifted up the broken piece of wood, carried it to the courtyard door, and slammed it towards the courtyard door.
"Mother, let's go quickly!" In the courtyard, Shi Shude begged anxiously. On the wall not far away, a man in black was covering his throat with both hands, rolling on the ground, his lips opening and closing. , but the severed trachea made him unable to make a sound, and a large amount of blood was pouring out from between his fingers, as if it was his life.
"Eunuch, let's go!" Shen Liniang wiped the sword carefully with silk cloth. The moonlight shone on the sharp edge of the sword, making it look even more cold. You could faintly see the subtle and beautiful patterns on the sword's surface. It was a multi-layered sword. Characteristics of steel made from steel. After Shen Liniang wiped the silk cloth, she threw it into the air. With a flick of her right wrist, the long sword flashed two sword lights in the air, cutting the silk cloth into four pieces. The broken silk cloth fell to the ground like a butterfly.
Shen Liniang gently stroked the sword and whispered: "These assassins are coming for Lu Lang. If I escape, they will find that Lu Lang is not here, and will go back and continue to hunt Lu Lang; while I am here to cut off the rear, they will I will definitely think that Lu Lang abandoned me and fled first. If I delay here for a moment longer, Lu Lang will have more hope of escaping. This sword was given to me by Lu Lang when he and I fell in love. I will use this sword to kill him today. By killing the assassin, I repay his favor for me for so many years."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang on the door. Apparently the assassin outside the door was afraid that someone would ambush him inside the wall, so he didn't dare to climb over the wall anymore, so he hit the door with a heavy object and entered. Shen Liniang turned around and urged Shi Shude: "Eunuch Shi, it's useless for you to stay here. Instead, you'll let the assassin know that Lu Lang is not here. Let's go!"
Seeing this, Shi Shude had no choice but to bow down and bow, and whispered: "The old slave will leave first, please take care of yourself!" After that, he turned around and walked away quickly. Shen Liniang looked at Shi Shude's leaving figure, turned around and quietly walked to the door, holding her sword and waiting.
The courtyard door was just a few pieces of willow wood nailed together haphazardly. How could it withstand such violent collisions? After just four or five blows, the door panels were already torn apart and scattered. The two assassins who hit the door were about to put down the stakes when they saw a person rushing out of the door. With a flash of sword light, the man in front had already been struck by the sword in the throat and fell to the ground screaming. The man behind him was immediately crushed by the unbalanced stake. On the ground, unable to move, there was chaos in the field.
"Everyone, spread out. Don't leave anyone!" Zhong Yangui pushed his sword and deflected Shen Liniang's sword in front of him. He only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the sword light stabbed towards his thigh like running water, and he hurriedly She slashed with her sword, but she didn't expect that Shen Liniang turned her wrist and touched the ground with her long sword. Then it rebounded at a faster speed and pointed directly at the door facing Zhong Yangui. At this time, Zhong Yangui's long sword had already exited the outer door. She couldn't close the sword in time, and she only felt A gust of cold air hit his face, and he shouted instinctively, throwing his head back and falling down.
Zhong Yangui rolled twice, and just when he stood up, he felt a chill on the top of his head. He reached out and touched it, and found that a large piece of hair was missing from the top of his head. It must have been swept away by Shen Liniang's sword just now. Thinking of the dangerous situation just now, Zhong Yangui I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: I had heard about Shen Liniang's superior swordsmanship, but I thought it was just a sword dance for Lu Fang to watch and have fun. I didn't expect it to be so terrifying. If my movements were half a minute slower, I was already using my brain. It's a disaster.
While Zhong Yangui was marveling, he was awakened by the sound of fighting. It turned out that the remaining two dead soldiers saw that their master was in danger and hurriedly stepped forward to resist Shen Liniang's pursuit. The three of them fought together. These two were considered elite, but with a pair Second, Shen Liniang was still forced to block her way too much and make few moves, so she was about to lose.
When Zhong Yangui saw this, he couldn't help being secretly frightened, and quickly took out a handgun from his arms. This was just tried out by Lu Wu and equipped for senior generals to use for self-defense. Zhong Yangui stayed on his body to assassinate Lu Fang this time. Comes in handy. Zhong Yangui was busyHe quickly loaded the gun with medicine, took aim, and pulled the trigger. At this time, Shen Liniang happened to stab an opponent with her sword. She did not notice that Zhong Yangui was aiming at her, and was hit in the left rib by a shot.
The huge impact of being hit by a fire gun at close range knocked Shen Liniang to the ground. A numb feeling took control of her body. Shen Liniang did not feel any pain for a while, but just felt a little dizzy. This was due to excessive blood loss. the result of.
Shen Liniang was lying on the ground and thought curiously: "Is this how people feel before they die?"
Zhong Yangui picked up the saber, rushed to Shen Liniang fiercely and asked, "Quickly, where is Lu Fang?"
A layer of mist seemed to rise in front of Shen Liniang's eyes, and it became blurry. She finally recognized the man in front of her who was yelling at her viciously, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the assassin is you, poor girl from the Zhong family, Lu Lang has no idea He didn't come to me. Lu Lang knew that the assassin would definitely think that he would escape to me, so he just didn't come to me. He must have fled far away by now. If you go against Lu Lang, you will definitely lose! "
"What?" Zhong Yangui was stunned as if he was struck by thunder. "Lu Fang didn't come here. He had already fled far away. His assassination operation had failed. Everything was lost!" A huge feeling of despair suddenly enveloped Zhong Yangui, as if a huge hand was holding him. It felt like crushing him in the palm of my hand.
"You are lying, Lu Fang is not here, why don't you run away, you are clearly staying here to sever his queen!" Zhong Yangui shouted sternly.
Shen Liniang gave a bitter smile and opened her mouth to speak, but the blood flowing out of her mouth blocked her words. The blood was stained on her chin, and it looked even more dazzling against the backdrop of her pale cheeks due to injuries. At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the street outside the square in the distance. The last remaining dead soldier whispered: "Lang Jun, let's leave quickly, otherwise the city guards will come and we won't be able to leave!"
Zhong Yangui nodded bitterly, walked to Shen Liniang's side, stabbed the opponent's left chest and heart with a knife, twisted it hard, then pulled out the sword and said to the dead soldier: "You don't have to follow me back home. You can leave the city directly through this road later. There is some property at the exit of the secret passage, which will be enough to make you rich for the rest of your life. I have made arrangements in advance" Zhong Yangui's voice became weaker and weaker, and the dead man couldn't hear clearly. He had no choice but to come closer and listen, but he felt a chill in his chest. When he looked down, he was stabbed by Zhong Yangui.
"As long as you die, no one in this world will know that I was the one who assassinated Lu Fang tonight! So, it's better for you to die!" Zhong Yangui sneered, then turned his wrist sharply, and the dead man struggled twice. Then he stopped moving. Zhong Yangui pulled out the dagger, walked away quickly, and soon disappeared into the night.
After about half a cup of tea, there was a sound of people and horses moving quickly towards the battlefield. It is not difficult to recognize Shi Shude's sharp voice in the voice.
¡°Your Majesty, it¡¯s right here, just turn another corner and you¡¯ll be there!¡±
The firelight shone on Lu Fang's face. At this time, his face was pale and there was cold sweat on his forehead. This was the result of enduring severe pain. But at this time, Lu Fang's face was more worried and frightened. This man who had faced death countless times without changing his expression was now acting like this, which surprised the soldiers around him.
Soon, the group arrived in front of the house where Shen Liniang lived, where the battlefield was. With the help of the torches in the hands of the city guards, Lu Fang could easily see the situation on the battlefield. Several corpses of assassins fell to the ground. In the middle of these corpses, lay the corpse of a woman. She was wearing the same green warrior uniform that Shen Liniang loved to wear when practicing her sword. Lu Fang suddenly felt that his chest was hit hard by a heavy object, and the world in front of him suddenly lost its color.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Shi Shude saw Lu Fang looking at Shen Liniang's body not far away with dull eyes, and hurriedly shouted, fearing that something might happen to Lu Fang because of his excessive grief. Although Lu Fang might be angry with him for escaping, judging from his usual style of dealing with things, he might be exempted from punishment. After all, it was Shen Liniang who insisted on staying to break up the family, not to mention that she didn't know martial arts, so she couldn't stay. There is no way to protect Shen Liniang from death. But if something goes wrong with Lu Fang, he who is accompanying him will definitely die. A lack of protection can punish him with death. Only if Lu Fang lives well can he, Shi Shude, be saved. Shi Shude, who deeply understood this, shook Lu Fang's arm violently and burst into tears.
"Come here, help me go to Concubine Shen. I want to see her!" Lu Fang whispered, his voice was hoarse. At this time, his whole body was lifeless, as if he was like an old withered tree. generally. The two soldiers quickly and carefully lifted Lu Fang up from a makeshift carriage made of a spear and a hut, and half-carried and half-supported him to Shen Liniang's body. Shen Liniang is still far away, Lu FangfangImpatiently, he broke away from the soldier's support, threw himself to the ground, and crawled to Shen Liniang's body.
