As soon as the guards launched an attack on the group of men blocking the way, dozens more people suddenly appeared on the roofs of shops and houses on both sides of the road.
The people who appeared on the roof were all holding strange-shaped weapons in their hands, including maces and other rod-type weapons, as well as more bizarre weapons such as hoops.
These people jumped off the roof and rushed straight into Zhao Yuanxi's guards without saying a word.
There were about a hundred guards guarding Zhao Yuanxi. There were more of them than the men who intercepted the carriage. But when both sides were fighting together, the guards quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The driver driving the carriage shook the reins vigorously, urging the carriage to move forward faster. But just when the carriage was about to hit the dozen or so men standing in front of it, the two men were divided into one on the left and one on the right. They jumped up towards the carriage, one on each side, swung their swords and slashed at the horse's condition. Go down.
Blood splattered, horse hooves flew up, and the two horses turned over almost at the same time.
The horse fell to the ground and the driver was left on the side of the road. Just as the coachman was about to get up, a man had already jumped towards him, stepped on his back with his foot, and struck him hard on the neck with a sword.
Zhao Yuanxi, who was sitting in the carriage, let out a scream and was thrown out of the carriage that was rolling because the horse was hacked.
At the same time that Zhao Yuanxi was attacked, dozens of night walkers in black were squatting under the wall outside Prince Shou's Mansion.
These night walkers squatted in the corner, listening carefully to the movements on the other side of the courtyard wall. When they were sure that there was no movement on the other side of the courtyard wall, they jumped up the wall and climbed into the courtyard.
They didn¡¯t realize that at the moment they climbed over the courtyard wall, eight men wearing night clothes followed them to the place where they had been hiding.
The eight men reached the corner, nodded to each other, and then jumped up the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard of Prince Shou's Mansion.
Zhao Dechang has not left Tokyo, but he has not left Prince Shou's Mansion these days.
Except for Zhao Pu who would come to the house to discuss some matters with him every day, almost no other guests came to the house.
"For a prince, locking himself in the palace like this is more uncomfortable than killing him.
¡° However, Zhao Dechang is not an ordinary prince. If he did not have this endurance, he would not be able to ascend the throne of emperor in the future.
Not long after Zhao Pugang left the house, Zhao Dechang was feeling depressed at this time, sitting in the house listening to Ji Ji's music. At this moment, he heard a roar from outside: "Who is it?"
Hearing this roar, Zhao Dechang shivered in excitement. It seemed that what Yang Rong said was true, and the party members were really going to attack him.
As the roar died down, there was a sound of swords clashing outside.
"You guys, go to the door of King Shou's palace!" Zhao Dechang, who was hiding in the house and huddled with a group of family members, was frightened when he heard a man's voice coming from outside the door, and then several figures appeared in the room. outside the door.
Knowing that there was someone responsible for protecting him outside the door, Zhao Dechang was about to call out when another group of figures jumped to the door. Then he saw a lot of blood splattered on the paper curtain in the window. The person who was standing at the door responsible for guarding They all had time to put up only a weak resistance before they were all killed.
"Peng!" The door was kicked open violently, and six or seven night walkers broke into the house.
The eyes of these nocturnal travelers wandered around the house, and finally they all fell on Zhao Dechang, who was huddled in the corner.
"Kill!" The leading night walker waved his hand and gave the order to kill Zhao Dechang to the people behind him.
"Whoosh!" As soon as his voice fell, there were two sounds of sharp weapons piercing the air outside the window. Following these two soft sounds, the two night walkers in the house groaned, turned over and fell to the ground.
A companion was shot dead with a concealed weapon. These night walkers were stunned. Just as they were stunned, several men also wearing night clothes rushed in from outside the door.
There was a flash of sword light, and with the weapons waved in the hands of the men who had just rushed in, all the night travelers who had entered the house were hacked to the ground.
They didn¡¯t even understand until their death why they were killed by someone wearing night clothes.
"Protect His Highness!" After killing the night walkers who had rushed into the house before, a new night walker who entered the house told the other people, then walked up to Zhao Dechang, folded his hands and bowed, saying: "We are waiting for you. They are the soldiers of the Western Sai Army's night assassination camp. They delayed some time in tracking this group of night travelers, which frightened His Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
As soon as he heard that they were soldiers from Ye Ci Camp, Zhao Dechang quickly raised his head, looked at the man standing in front of him who had taken off his mask, and asked with confusion: "Are you really Yang Rong's subordinates? Is it Yang Rong who wants toAre you here to save me? "
"Reporting to Your Highness, the eight of us are actually Lord Yang's soldiers!" The man responded, and after confirming Zhao Dechang's words, he said to him: "Since Your Highness left the General's Mansion that day, the General ordered us to secretly Protection, I don¡¯t want to bump into the assassin who wants to kill His Highness today!¡±
"How many are there?" After confirming the identities of these people, Zhao Dechang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and asked the soldiers in the camp that night: "How are your martial arts? Where are my guards now?"
"Reply to Your Highness!" The soldier from the Yeji camp who spoke lowered his head slightly and said to him very humbly: "There are more than 40 people on the other side. Their martial arts are not weak. It can be said that they are all masters. If it hadn't been a sneak attack just now, , and it is impossible to kill them so quickly. Your Highness, please go hide in a corner of the house first, and wait until the assassins are wiped out, and then you can make music!"
With the protection of the soldiers from the Night Sword Camp, Zhao Dechang became much more courageous. He puffed up his chest and said to the soldiers from the Night Sword Camp: "Thank you all for coming to rescue Xiao Wang. If Xiao Wang is lucky enough to survive, he will definitely come back." Thank you. Now that the assassin has entered the house, if Xiao Wang hides in the house, he will definitely be laughed at. Please go out with Xiao Wang and command the guards to kill the assassin."
When he said this, the eight Night Thorn Camp soldiers in the room suddenly had black streaks all over their heads. Just as the Night Thorn Camp soldier answered Zhao Dechang just now, the opponent does not have many people, but all of them are not weak in martial arts. If it is true In a fight, it's hard to say whether the eight of them can protect Zhao Dechang completely.
Although there are two or three hundred guards in Prince Shou's Mansion, those two or three hundred people are no different from the ordinary imperial army. When fighting with the assassins, they can only rely on their numerical advantage to temporarily suppress the opponent, but if they want to destroy the opponent , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not that easy.
Several soldiers from the Night Assassination Battalion were hesitating, but Zhao Dechang didn't give them a chance to think at all, and walked towards the door with his feet raised. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
