As the first soldier was shot away by Zhao Yun, three people on the left and right rushed forward at the same time, each holding a dagger in their hands and heading straight for Liu Qi.
At this time, Zhao Yun had already drawn his sword and moved forward to protect Liu Qi. He raised his sword to stop the three of them and prevent them from getting close.
Everyone had anticipated this situation and made arrangements, so they were not too panicked. Shi A personally protected Liu Qi, and the other guards protected Ma Liang and others from retreating to avoid accidental injuries.
Zhao Yun is not only powerful in horse fighting, but also very skilled in swordsmanship. During his martial arts training, he often sparred with people in the green forest, and assassinated another person with two moves.
There was chaos in the square. Sun Quan shouted loudly and ordered people to escort Wu Guotai to retreat to the main hall, and called for soldiers to arrest the assassin.
However, these assassins were not afraid of death and were all targeting Liu Qi. More than ten people emerged from the crowd and rushed towards Liu Qi.
Shi A was fighting with the two men with his sword. The other man saw the right opportunity and sneaked up from behind, stabbing Liu Qi in the left rib with his sword.
"Lord, be careful!" Ma Liang was retreating under the eaves, turned around and saw this scene, stamping his feet and shouting in shock.
Before he finished speaking, Liu Qi turned around nimbly and narrowly avoided the sword by turning sideways. There was a soft clang and the sword in his hand was drawn out.
The assassin had already jumped in front of him, with a dagger in his left hand, and stabbed Liu Qi's chest with his backhand. He was about to succeed, but Liu Qi reacted so quickly and drew his sword to strike.
The trace of ecstasy in his eyes instantly turned into shock. Before he could dodge, his arm was chopped off by a sword. He screamed in pain, fell to the ground and rolled away.
Liu Qi did not retreat but advanced. He stepped forward and blocked another assassin. The assassin tried to parry with his sword, but he didn't expect that the Qingzhi sword cut iron like clay and cut off the blade in an instant. The tip of the sword hit his throat.
"Hmph, if the tiger doesn't show off its power, will it think I'm a sick cat?"
Liu Qi shook off the blood beads on his sword. He had worked hard to practice his sword in the past few years, and under the guidance of Wang Yue, he often competed with masters such as Zhao Yun. Although he could not go into battle to kill the enemy, he had the ability to protect himself.
Liu Qi, Zhao Yun, and Shi A were fighting each other. In the blink of an eye, more than ten assassins were killed. At this time, the Wu army from the periphery also surrounded them. The remaining assassins had determination in their eyes and were ready to fight to the death.
Dong dong dong——
At this moment, a long and heavy bell suddenly sounded in the hall, and then a golden light was seen, shining through the door and window lattice, as if the red sun suddenly appeared, filling the room with white light, dazzling the eyes.
"Sun Ce is here, don't be rude!" A loud shout came from the palace, like a thunderbolt from the blue, with echoes.
Everyone present was shocked, even the assassins were stunned and turned to look at the main hall.
Wu Guotai and Sun Quan's expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other and looked at the main hall with glittering golden light in disbelief, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
Boom——
When everyone was shocked, the top of the Buddhist temple suddenly exploded, and wood, stone and bricks flew away. Two figures slowly rose from the smoke and fell lightly on the eaves in front of everyone.
"Ah?!" Everyone in Jiangdong was dumbfounded and took a few steps back in shock.
"Wu...Wuhou?"
"Little bully?"
"General Taishi!!"
…
Jiangdong Wenwu, who knew the two people present, was all shocked, rubbing his eyes and looking at this scene in disbelief.
Above the eaves, the man on the left is eight feet long, wearing black armor and a black gauze on his head, standing with his hands behind his back. Under the bright moon, he has a rough face with sharp edges, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, like a sharp sword. Soaring momentum.
Although the night wind blew the veil, and his face was looming, all the veterans of Soochow knew clearly that it was Sun Ce without a doubt!
Next to Sun Ce, there was also a military general wearing armor, carrying two halberds on his back, with tiger eyes and a beard. He crossed his arms and glanced coldly at the audience. It was Taishi Ci.
Seeing the two dead people suddenly appear, everyone was shocked beyond measure, as if they were in a dream.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Sun Quan was the first to react and yelled: "It must be Cao Cao who is pretending to be a ghost. Catch the assassin quickly!"
When he shouted, the assassins were shocked, and finally reacted, roaring and pounced on Liu Qi and the others.
"Presumptuous!" Sun Ce shouted from above the eaves, and when he raised his palm, a golden light erupted.
I saw the golden light covering the assassins, and the assassins who were rushing forward suddenly fell to the ground like dead fish, struggling for a few times and becoming motionless.
Sun Ce shouted sharply: "Who dares to resist my order?"
The whole place was silent. Not to mention Sun Ce's appearance, he raised his hand to restrain several assassins. If he had divine power, it would send chills to everyone's heart.
There was a bright moon, a clear breeze, and fireworks rising. Everyone stared blankly at the two people on the eaves, as if they were real and illusory, and their hearts were filled with astonishment.
Sun Quan clenched his fists, his whole body trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, is it really... you?"
Sun Ce looked at the bright moon with his hands behind his hands, let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "My second brother has done a great job in defending Jiangdong. I am very relieved, but what can I do -"
"Brother, please teach me!" Sun Quan couldn't tell the truth from the lie. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
At this time, I was feeling excited and complicated, coupled with the repeated misfortunes, seeing Sun Ce suddenly appear, it was like a child who had been separated from his parents for a long time had found a source of support and wanted to express his grievances.
Upon seeing this, Jiangdong's civil and military officials also knelt down one after another. Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and other senior ministers were shocked and inexplicable. They knelt down and looked up at the ethereal figure, with a bit of joy in their panic.
If Sun Ce really has a spirit in heaven and appears here to protect Jiangdong, isn't it God's will for the Sun family to dominate the world?
Zhang Zhao secretly looked back at Liu Qi and saw him and several guards standing with swords in hand, like standing tall among chickens, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Death is the most important thing. Sun Ce is the hero of the world, and he is Liu Qi's brother. How dare he not kneel down when he sees the dead?
"Get up, stand up!" Wu Guotai suddenly became excited, pulling on Sun Quan's collar, and screamed: "How can there be ghosts and gods in this world? There must be someone pretending to be a ghost, and they don't kill him with random arrows?"
There was a commotion among the crowd, and Sun Quan regained his composure a little. He stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I wonder if my brother has appeared. Do you have any advice? Can you come up and talk to me?"
Sun Ce looked down at the mother and son, and said in a cold voice: "My father and son, Sun, are unparalleled heroes. My father fought bloodthirstyly against thieves. A certain person built a foundation with tenacity and perseverance, but was unexpectedly occupied by a dove. Is it such a pity or pain?"
Wu Guotai's expression changed slightly, and he laughed sternly: "How dare you, Fang Xiaoxiao, to act mysterious here? Do you dare to confront me face to face?"
The golden light in the hall is uncertain, echoing the bright moon. Sun Ce stands facing the wind with his hands behind his back, looking down like a god.
Facing Wu Guotai's questioning, he said coldly: "The way of heaven is reincarnation, and retribution is not good. Do you know that evil will be punished?"
"Even if Sun Ce is here, he would not dare to talk to me like this!" Wu Guotai was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He looked at Sun Quan and said angrily: "Why don't you kill him with random arrows?"
"This..." Sun Quan was in a dilemma.
Sun Ce suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and said, "You don't have to get angry because of shame. If you want to confront me, what do you have to fear?"
Just as he was about to raise his legs and jump down, Taishi Ci stopped him from the side, cupping his fists and saying: "The general has been promoted to a god, there is no need to condescend to a lower position, just go ahead!"
After saying that, he turned around and flew down from the main hall. He saw his elegant figure, floating like a ghost, over the heads of Sun Quan and Sun Quan, and landed in the middle of the square.
