Grand Commander? Great... Commander, this is bad! Oh no! General Dugu, who entered the city yesterday, was attacked by a group of black-clad masked assassins in South Alley~! "
The Wang family secret guard who ran out from the place where Dugu Xin fought fiercely with the black-clad assassins to report the news had just passed through two private houses when he met Wang Chengwu who was escorting Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan back to the Wang family's ancestral home. He was stunned for a while, then he hurried forward and clasped his fists.
"What? You mean someone assassinated General Dugu in the city~?"
Wang Chengwu looked shocked when he heard this. He quickly waved his hand to signal the team behind him to stop. Then he looked at the secret guard who reported the news and asked in a deep voice.
The secret guard gasped and said: "Yes! Commander! There are more than 20 people on the other side, General Dugu is only one person. When his subordinates came over, General Dugu seemed to be almost unable to hold on. Should we go... "
"Hu Daliang, Bai Qing, you take ten brothers and bring Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Chang'an back to the ancestral home. The rest follow me~!"
Before the guard could finish speaking, Wang Chengwu shouted loudly and gave orders to the left and right.
"Yes! Commander~!"
A round-faced man with a beard and Bai Qing quickly responded together.
After that, they called ten secret guards of the Wang family and led Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan toward the Wang family's ancestral home.
Wang Chengwu waved his hand, and the remaining ten or so Wang family secret guards followed him. Under the leadership of the previous secret guard who reported the news, they galloped away in the direction of the battle between Dugu Xin and the man in black.
As Wang Yu's direct confidant, Wang Chengwu certainly understands Wang Yu's attitude toward the court and the royal family. He also understands why the Wang family's forces from both the bright and dark sides mobilized to find two businessmen who had nothing to do with the Wang family yesterday. It was precisely because In this way, the moment he heard that Dugu Xin had been assassinated, Wang Chengwu made up his mind to lead people to rescue him without any hesitation!
Not to mention that the reason why the Wang family mobilized all its forces yesterday was mainly because Dugu Feiying, Dugu Xin's younger brother, came to Wang Yu personally to ask for help. Let's talk about the current relationship between the Wang family and the imperial court. It is impossible for Wang Yu to sit back and watch the imperial guards commanding the Wang family's headquarters - —Taiyuan City was assassinated by a group of unknown people! If something happened to Dugu Xin in Taiyuan City in this way, the Wang family and the government in Taiyuan City would be in endless trouble!
Therefore, there was no need to report this matter to Wang Yu, Wang Chengwu could guess Wang Yu's attitude! The most important thing is that under the current situation, there is no time for him to return to his ancestral home to report the situation to Wang Yu!

On the other side, the post house.
After Li Tai came back, he immediately summoned everyone in the academy and informed the teachers and students in the academy in detail about everything he saw on Longshan Mountain in the morning and his decision to locate the telegraph relay station at Tongzi Temple in Longshan. After seeing the general terrain conditions of Longshan Tongzi Temple, all the teachers and students of the academy, including Mo Chui, unanimously agreed to build the telegraph relay station on Longshan Mountain.
At that moment, Li Tai took the members of the fifth and sixth groups with measuring tools and prepared to go up the mountain for on-site survey. Mo Chui also followed. He also wanted to see the terrain on the spot and discuss the following with Li Tai. construction plan.
When he left the post house, Li Tai did not see Dugu Xin. There were only Dugu Feiying and the imperial guards guarding the door. Li Tai couldn't help but frowned, stepped forward and asked Dugu Feiying: "General Feiying, where is General Duguxin?" Didn’t he come back with me just now?”
Regarding the matter of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan, Dugu Xin had already roughly told Li Tai before entering the city yesterday, so Dugu Feiying had nothing to hide at the moment, but told the truth: "Go back to Your Highness, I just received the news , the secret guards of the Wang family discovered the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan in Shuorenfang in the southeast of the city, and were preparing to arrest them. After my brother learned about it, he went over to find out what was going on! I think they will be back soon!"
"Zhu Xiesheng? Kang Changan? I heard that the Wang family searched for these two people for nearly a whole day yesterday, but no trace of them was found. Why did they suddenly be found today?"
Hearing this, Li Tai frowned and muttered to himself somewhat suspiciously.
Nowadays, the situation in Taiyuan City is turbulent, and Li Tai has become suspicious. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong about this matter. As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a while.
Dugu Feiying had sharp ears and could naturally hear Li Tai talking to himself, but he could only pretend not to hear it because he couldn't answer this question!
"You just said that General Duguxin went alone?"
Suddenly, Li Tai raised his voice and asked Dugu Feiying.
There was a hint of nervousness in his expression!
Dugu Xin is the strongest combat force in this Forbidden Army, and he is also the "brain" of this Forbidden Army. If something happens to him, it will be almost impossible for the academy's group to complete the mission and return to the academy safely! So it was related to Duguxin's safety, so Li Tai couldn't help but be nervous!
Dugu Feiying chuckled lightly and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, my brother is now a master-level expert, and no one in Taiyuan City can hurt him!"
As Dugu Xin's younger brother, Dugu Feiying certainly has full confidence in Dugu Xin's personal strength.
This is indeed the case. As a master at the master level, Dugu Xin also possesses peerless swordsmanship such as Gufeng Sword Technique and Dugu Nine Swords. His overall strength far exceeds that of ordinary warriors in the early stage of grand master, unless he encounters the "old monster" in the later stage of grand master. , otherwise Dugu Xin would hardly be injured!
And there are only a few "old monsters" in the later stage of the Grand Master in the whole world? How come we happened to be in Taiyuan City by such a coincidence? And he happened to be looking for trouble with Dugu Xin?
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Dugu Feiying's statement, "No one in Taiyuan City can hurt him"!
But Dugu Feiying did not expect that an early-stage master who specializes in assassination and uses all kinds of methods would be more difficult to deal with than ordinary late-stage masters. Today, there happens to be such a person in Taiyuan City. A desperate assassination attempt is being made on Dugu Xin!
Hearing what Dugu Feiying said, Li Tai couldn't help but feel relieved. After thinking about it, he said: "In that case, General Feiying, please take someone with us to Longshan!"
In the past, Li Tai never brought a bodyguard with him when he went out. The bodyguard had to follow him. Sometimes he would lose his temper and tell the bodyguard to get out and stop following him. Now he took the initiative to ask Dugu Xin to lead a group of forbidden troops to follow him. This huge change in attitude was precisely because Li Tai realized the responsibility on his shoulders!
"I will obey your orders!"
Dugu Feiying looked solemn, cupped his fists and took orders.
…………………………
South of Taiyuan City.
The battle on Dugu Xin's side was now coming to an end. Dugu Xin relied on his tenacious willpower and sense of survival to desperately keep himself awake, and then mobilized the true energy in his body to dodge the enemy's attack with all his strength. However, the medicine is too powerful, there are too many enemies, and there are too many attack methods. Even though the Dugu family's unique footwork is extremely exquisite, it is still difficult for Dugu Xin to survive this battle alone!
It has only been half a cup of tea since the Wang family secret guard who reported the news left, and Dugu Xin has already suffered one sword wound and two hidden weapon scratches, although these injuries did not damage the vital parts. , but the opponent's weapons and hidden weapons seemed to be smeared with poison. Dugu Xin could feel that the three injured parts of him were gradually losing consciousness, and the unconscious parts were gradually expanding, which meant that the poison was spreading in his body!
He had to block the meridians at his wound to slow down the spread of the toxin, but this would inevitably affect his reaction speed. His family knows his own affairs, and Dugu is confident that he can only hold on for half a cup of tea at most. If reinforcements haven't arrived yet, he will definitely die today!
In the middle, Dugu Xin didn't think about escaping, but while the other party was attacking, they also secretly occupied various exits. It was impossible for him to escape from a certain exit unimpeded. As long as the people at that exit blocked him for a moment, in addition Everyone will rush over and hack him mercilessly!
At this moment, Dugu Xin secretly regretted that he was too careless. Previously, he kept telling Li Tai that Taiyuan City was not at peace and that he had to pay attention to safety and bring guards when he went out. But when it was his turn, he not only went out without any guards, but even He didn't bring any fireworks to convey the distress signal, otherwise he wouldn't be so helpless and in dire straits now!
The reason was that his strong martial arts strength made Dugu Xin relax his vigilance. There is a saying that goes well, those who are killed are those who know how to box, and those who are drowned are those who know water. People are likely to stumble in what they are good at, because they are good at martial arts and don't care about competing with others, and then they are beaten to death. . Because I knew how to swim, I thought it would be okay to swim deeper, but then I drowned!
Dugu Xin is now in a desperate situation because of this reason!
At the end of the alley, there were a few brave people gathered in twos and threes, lying on the wall, secretly watching the fighting here. Although Dugu Xin was in a bit of a mess at the moment, some people still recognized him, but no one dared to step forward to intervene. , because these masked men in black are obviously not good people, and the common people don't know martial arts. Even if they come up, they will probably be killed instantly by the men in black!
"Who are these men in black? How dare they openly commit murder in Taiyuan City!"
"Isn't this General Dugu who came from Chang'an yesterday? I heard he is the commander of the imperial army!"
"Huh? It does look similar! These men in black dare to attack the commander of the imperial army and rebel against him. Go and report it to the official!"
"Ha! Someone has just gone to report to the police. I guess the street patrol officers will come here soon! These vicious assassins will definitely be unable to escape!"
"But General Dugu doesn't seem to be able to hold on much longer!"
The common people watched the two sides fighting in the field from a distance. Some people ran to report to the officials, while others were secretly worried, but they were helpless.
But everyone's hearts are on Duguxin's side.
After all, Taiyuan City is the land of Longxing. Nowadays, with the Tang Dynasty Haiqinghe Banquet, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the national power rising, the people of Taiyuan City still have a very strong sense of identification with the imperial court. When they see someone assassinating the imperial generals in the street, the people will naturally be unavoidable. The earth is filled with indignation!
"Hmph! I advise you not to resist fearlessly. Maybe I can leave a whole body for you!"
In the middle of the field, the leader of the men in black dodged, left a wound on Dugu Xin's back with his long sword, and then smiled coldly at Dugu Xin.
"Bah! I am the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty. Even if I die, I can only die standing! You noble Han people, instead of serving the country, have become the lackeys of the Turks. You have brought shame to your ancestors!"
Dugu Xin wanted to close his eyes at this moment. The reason why he could still stand here and fight against these men in black was entirely due to his strong willpower. In addition, every time there was a wound on his body, the injured part became so soft at first. The burning pain will also wake him up for a while, but this effect can only last for a while, because as time goes by and the toxin takes effect, the injured part will become numb and lose consciousness! At this time, the leader in black was slashed on the back with a sword. Dugu Xin was slightly refreshed. He used the long sword in his hand to support his body and kept himself from falling. He looked at the leader in black and shouted angrily.
His angry scolding spread throughout the streets and alleys. The people watching from a distance saw that Dugu Xin was seriously injured, but they still arrogantly scolded the enemy chief, and a trace of the sadness of a hero's end flashed in their hearts!
"You are looking for death~!"
A trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the leader of the men in black. He moved, and the next moment he appeared three feet in front of Dugu Xin with a long sword in his hand. Before, he had attacked from Dugu Xin's back or side. That was It came from his "professional habit" of being an assassin, but now that Dugu Xin was on the verge of death, he naturally did not need to carry out a sneak attack from behind or from the side. He wanted to completely kill the guy who was talking arrogantly to him from the front!
This is a sure-kill move. The blazing zhenqi on the long sword cuts through the air. Before he reaches Duguxin, Duguxin feels that his whole body has been locked and unable to move. The leader of the man in black has a sure-kill move. Coming directly towards his neck!
This was mainly because he was seriously injured and poisoned. Otherwise, he would have been sure to dodge the sword from the leader of the man in black!
But there are no ifs in this world. Dugu Xin knew very well that with his current physical condition, even if he tried his best, he could not avoid this fatal sword. But even so, he did not intend to sit still and wait for death. Seeing him struggling to lift With the long sword in his hand, he started to use the Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Sword Style.
With the exquisiteness of Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Sword Style, it is not difficult at all to break the no-frills sword of the leader of the man in black. However, in Dugu Xin's current state, even Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Sword Style Ten How can you withstand this sword if you can't exert even a fraction of its power?
But as he said before, he is the commander of the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, and even if he dies, he can only die standing! He will fight until the end! There is no way he would give in to a villain who hides his head and sells off his ancestors for glory!
The long sword of the leader of the man in black is getting closer and closer to Dugu Xin's neck. The power of the sword in Dugu Xin's hand has also been condensed, but it is nothing but a useless showpiece. As soon as the long sword of the man in black touches, The power of his sword will instantly disintegrate, and he himself will be dismembered!
Dugu Xin lamented in his heart, thinking that he seemed to have to answer here today!
Just when the two swords were about to intersect, an angry voice came from the end of the alley to the north: "Stop! Who dares to commit murder in Taiyuan City~!"
Hearing the sudden shouting, the leader of the men in black couldn't help but froze, but then, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and the long sword in his hand stabbed Dugu Xin at a faster speed!
He knew that Dugu Xin's reinforcements were coming, but he wanted to kill Dugu Xin before the reinforcements arrived!
"Hmph! How dare you!"
The owner of the voice behind the leader of the men in black shouted again, but the sound got closer and closer, and then he saw a man rising up from the horse and slashing directly at the leader of the men in black in the back with a knife. ~!
