Xiao Yan originally had his back to the assassin, but because he was so angry, his reaction was much faster than usual, and his skills were not too bad.
The moment he heard the warning, he turned around and swung his sword in one go.
Ding dong! ——
The sword was angry and not only blocked the sneak attack, but also turned the defense into an attack, forcing the assassin to take two steps back.
But when he was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue the pursuit, how could the guards, imperial guards, and others dare to give way?
Amidst the sound of weapons being unsheathed, the small leader of the Royal Forest Army and Xiao Yan personally took a step forward, dragged the hot-blooded Xiao Yan back, and protected him in the temporary battle formation.
At this time, except for a few of Xiao Yan's personal followers, the rest of the Royal Forest Army instinctively chose to pay attention and protect them when facing the murderer with unknown intentions. Now they are in hot demand, and behind them are the third prince who is the favorite concubine of the court and the Grand Master. .
Not all of these people are those who follow the trend.
Just because of instinct, I succumbed to the experience of choosing the lesser of two evils.
Therefore, not to mention the "criminal" Anyang Prince Xiao Ren who was cowering in the corner and turned blue with fear, even the seventh prince lying on the ground was not taken care of.
But just as everyone was waiting, the assassin turned around and went straight to Xiao Ren in the corner!
Xiao Ren originally thought that he would only receive a punch at most, but he didn't expect that at the end, someone would actually kill him with a knife!
"Ah! Help, help! County..."
Staring at the tip of the knife so close to his eyes, Prince Anyang intuitively felt that this was not part of the plan. But he was powerless, so all he could do at this moment was scream for help.
But as soon as he shouted, he was frightened back by the figure flying in from the window again.
This, this is a completely hopeless way to survive!
But just when Xiao Ren felt like he was so nervous that he forgot to breathe, the last intruder crashed into the masked assassin who entered first.
In just a moment, the two sides were in close combat. As the sound of fighting exploded in his ears, a cluster of sparks from the collision of weapons exploded in front of Xiao Ren's eyes!
"ah!"
Before Xiao Ren's short exclamation could disperse, the two people in front of him were fighting together again.
He didn't see clearly how the two of them were fighting, and only a series of jingling sounds exploded in his ears. And a few times, not only the tip of the knife, but also the tip of the knife almost brushed the tip of his hair.
This makes people dare not move at all, let alone escape.
Seeing the two people fighting together in a blink of an eye, unable to tell the difference between the enemy and ourselves, the little leader of the Royal Forest Army gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the face could not be seen clearly, the person who broke in later was obviously wearing the official uniform of a military commander and was not masked. In addition, the other party saved Prince Anyang in time as soon as he took action. In other words, latecomers are friends rather than enemies.
After having reinforcements to hold off the unknown assassins, the small leader of the Royal Forest Army also had more time to prepare his troops. In order to prevent the assassins from being prepared in advance, he only ordered his men with a wink.
'Secretly protect the Seventh Prince, narrow the encirclement around the two people in the middle, "snatch" and protect the suspect as soon as possible! '
At the same time, Xiao Yan, who had calmed down, also raised his voice and ordered:
"Take these two down! Don't let anyone escape! Go!"
Xiao Yan didn't care about anything else. After seeing that the assassin's main goal was to assassinate Xiao Ren, he intuitively determined that the sudden appearance of the assassin would definitely bring him a surprise.
Especially, after missing important evidence, now is the opportunity to make up for the loss, but this person took the initiative to deliver it.
Therefore, the moment he shouted out the order, he would take the lead and rush forward.
Although the masked assassin was being fought left and right by the newcomers, he was always paying attention to the surrounding situation in case he was really trapped or killed on the spot.
So when he saw that the trap was about to encircle him, and the people blocking him on the opposite side could not be captured for a while, he simply gave up his plan to kill Xiao Ren.
Using all his strength, he used a life-threatening move to push back the people in front of him. He cursed at Xiao Ren. At the same time, he raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of powder, blocking the imperial guards and others who were rushing towards him. He dodged. He jumped through the window and fled for his life.
But although the voice was loud, and it could be seen from the expression on the assassin's eyebrows for a moment, what the other party said was definitely not good.
But no one present could understand the content.
Moreover, the dust that the assassin sprayed out in an instant was unknown what it was made of. It's extremely irritating, even if you hold your breath and close your eyes, the person under it can't help but shed tears, and your vision is blurred.
Because of this, neither Han Qinglan, who was fighting at the beginning, nor the imperial guards who wanted to surround and annihilate them, were able to continue the pursuit.
Among them, Han Qinglan still managed to chase him to the window and stabbed the assassin in the arm with his sword, making it difficult to follow up.
After a moment of chaos, Xiao Yan, who was heavily protected from behind and almost unaffected, was still yelling.
"Go after them! Everyone is a loser!"
But no matter how angry he was, he still knew that the man was very skilled. If he jumped out of the window and ran away, it would be difficult to recover him.
Xiao Yan angrily kicked away the person in front of him who was originally protecting him, rushed to stand in front of Xiao Ren, who was the most "suffered", and asked while venting his anger and striking while the iron was hot:
"Is that person just now your accomplice? Because you were arrested, he came to kill you for fear of being exposed, right? Speak!"
The hope of gaining and losing made Xiao Yan even more irritable than before, and his eyes began to turn red.
At this time, there was a room full of "wounded soldiers", and even if someone wanted to stop them, they would be powerless.
Xiao Yan lifted Xiao Ren's clothes to his eyes and raised the sword in his hand again.
When he was about to really poke a hole in this guy who refused to speak, to force him to confess honestly, a very clear sound, the sound of porcelain being slapped on the ground, suddenly came from behind everyone.
Snapped! ——
For a moment, Xiao Yan thought that he was gone and not coming back. He hurriedly carried Xiao Ren, who was crying in tears, and spun him around, using him as a human shield and blocking him in front of his chest before he dared to look closely at where the sound came from. .
But in the messy outside, where is the burly assassin? There was only a petite figure standing beside the mess and broken porcelain scattered on the ground, looking at him with disdain.
"Third Highness, don't bully others too much, and please let go of the unfortunate Prince Anyang in your hands."
Xiao Ren's eyes were dim with tears. After hearing Danyang's voice, he burst into tears more and more, and even started sobbing unsatisfactorily.
Xiao Yan had a headache from the crying in his ears, and he also hated the sight of the man crying.
He didn't care about it, and the action he was about to take was exactly what Danyang asked for. He raised his hand in disgust and threw Xiao Ren to the corner, then he remembered to ask Danyang:
"Why are you here?"
Danyang stepped forward and helped Xiao Ren, who was hurriedly trying to get up, but almost pressed down on the broken porcelain with his hand due to blurred vision, and replied casually:
"You can come, why can't I?"
At this time, Xiao Ren was almost frightened out of his wits because he was threatened several times by Xiao Yan. After feeling Danyang's approach, he immediately clung to her outstretched hand and arm like a koala, almost hanging on Danyang's body.
