After calmly enduring Zhao Wushan's three heads, Huang Qiong arranged for Liu Hu to forcibly escort Zhao Wushan out. Although he was a little reluctant, Liu Hu knew that this young prince always meant what he said. He could only wave the steel knife in his hand to clear the way for Zhao Wushu. Under Liu Hu's protection, Zhao Wushu rushed to the window, kicked a window to pieces, and then jumped out.
Seeing someone rushing out, several assassins tried to catch up, but were blocked by Liu Hu. All he could do was watch Zhao Wuye's figure disappear into the night. Although they didn't know what Zhao Wushu wanted to do when he rushed out. But they also knew that once Zhao Wushu left, the opponent's reinforcements would probably arrive at a moment's notice.
I remembered the cold gaze of my master's confidant when I was explaining my mission before setting off. Almost all the assassins present felt their hearts tightening. He knew that if he couldn't complete it today, he would have to let the British king go to the west. There will be no other choice than death waiting for him. And this method of death will be quite painful.
Thinking of this, the assassin leader couldn't help but feel extremely impatient. Originally, they had the upper hand and success was within easy reach, but the situation was disrupted by two people who came out halfway. Although I can still barely maintain it now, I am getting further and further away from success. Once this assassination operation is delayed, it will undoubtedly mean failure.
Although he didn't know Fan Jian, who was always studying at home and rarely stepped out of Fan's house. But as the representative of this generation of the Fan family, he still had a chance encounter with Fan Dao, who had been practicing abroad for many years. Although there were some surprises before, how could the Fan family in Xiangyang, which had always stayed out of the fights between the princes, appear in Hulao Pass and still be with the British king.
Although he felt doubtful in his heart, he still knew the ancestral precepts of the Fan family very well, and was not worried that Fan Dao and his wife would take action at first. After all, the ancestral precepts of the Fan family are there, and the children of the Fan family have strictly followed the ancestral precepts over the years. What's more, the master behind him is very powerful, so he doesn't believe that the Fan family dares to get involved easily?
Unexpectedly, Fan Dao and his wife not only joined in, but also made a killing move. Not to mention that he was in such a hurry that he was killed, and all the good situations were lost. This is exactly what the old saying goes, one careless move will lead to a loss. I don’t know the relationship between Fan Jian and Fan Dao, let alone what kind of ecstasy soup Fan Jian gave Fan Dao.
The assassin leader could only look at Fan Jian with resentment, and said to Fan Dao in desperation: "The Fan family in Xiangyang has always been clean and self-sufficient, and has never had any contact with the royal family or the court. Is it true that I have rashly intervened in this matter now? Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the Fan family? Don't you, the Fan family, want to be buried with a mere British king?"
"Fan Dao, I advise you to recognize the situation clearly. It's still too late to stop now. I can assure you that our master will never pursue the Fan family's interference. If you accept death and go all the way to the dark side, then don't You blame me for not recognizing the friendship of the Wulin family. When the time comes, the Fan family will be ruined, don’t say I didn’t warn you in advance.
The assassin leader, in his desperation, did not lower his voice deliberately. Fan Dao suddenly recognized his true identity: "It's you. So I said these guys who have no face to see others, how come the kung fu on them looks so familiar?" . I think these people are all from your Baisha Hall. Wasn’t your Baisha Hall wiped out by the imperial court? Could it be you?"
"Unexpectedly, your Baishatang can be regarded as an upright martial arts sect. You, the dignified leader of Baishatang who is known as the Three Magic Swords, actually did not hesitate to destroy the sect and went to become King Jing's henchman, assassinating them for King Jing to cut off dissidents. Such a sloppy thing happened. How can you have the face to meet the successive heads of Baisha Hall?"
"How King Jing fights with other princes on weekdays is their business. The Fan family has nothing to do with it, and they don't want to. But for his own selfish interests, he brazenly rebelled and caused devastation to all living beings. If the Fan family just sat back and ignored him, How can we call ourselves a chivalrous family?" When it comes to words, Fan Dao also doesn't give in much when needed.
In response to Fan Dao's sharp counterattack, the assassin leader smiled grimly: "Everyone has the ambition to make progress. Although our Baishatang is only a small sect, our ambition is definitely not bad. You big sects and big sects are not bad at it. The aristocratic family came up with those bullshit rules just to restrict the growth of small sects like us and threaten your status."
"They suppress us at every turn, forcing us to find a strong backer to get rid of the oppression of you big sects. There is no free lunch in this world. People help us grow, and we help them get rid of some obstacles. People are normal. Brother Fan, I advise you not to get involved."
"The power of the man behind us is beyond your imagination, let alone what this fledgling King of England can compare with. Once he knows that your Fan family ruined his good deeds, this revenge will not be enough even if your Fan family has a great cause. You can afford it. Do you really not think about your Fan family?"
Fan Dao didn't have time to reply to this guy's threat. A person next to the assassin leader said: "You talk too much nonsense. If it can't be solved after a long time, there is really no need for your Baisha Hall to exist. As for the Fan family in Xiangyang, after this matter is over, The master will take care of it, it’s not something you should worry about now.”
Hearing the words of this person who is called his deputy, but is actually responsible for monitoring him. The assassin leader couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of the methods of the master behind him. Not daring to make any further delay, he commanded his subordinates to press forward with all their might and rush directly towards Huang Qiong's position. He himself took two masters and personally took over Fan Dao and his wife.
Although with the addition of Fan Dao and his wife, the situation has somewhat improved. But after all, most of the guards around Huang Qiong were still a bit weak compared to these assassins. From time to time, assassins broke through the interception around Huang Qiong, forcing Huang Qiong to almost take action several times. Fortunately, after the two strongest assassins in kung fu were taken over by Fan Dao and his wife, Liu Hu, who was under great pressure, was able to help.
After killing several assassins with deadly blows, he barely managed to stabilize his position. Although Huang Qiong did not take action directly, he had a few copper coins in his hand without any trace, ready to support Liu Hu at any time. Fortunately, a master is a master, and Fan Dao and his wife took over some of the strongest assassins. The rest of the guards resisted like crazy tigers, but they did not allow the assassins to succeed.
When the crossbowman appeared outside the window that Zhao Wushu had kicked open, the front end of the crossbow that had been strung up in his hand, the exposed arrow cluster shining with cold light, poked into the window. The actual outcome of this fierce battle has been determined. A dense rain of arrows fell, and half of the assassins in the building fell down. The rest were also trapped in the middle by the swarming sergeants.
The sergeants who surrounded the assassin formed a circular formation under the cover of a large shield. Using the spears and halberds in his hands, and with the cooperation of the crossbowmen, he stabbed down the trapped assassins one by one. Although the assassins are still resisting desperately, are the knives in their hands a match for the spears? It didn't take long for there to be very few assassins left on the scene.
At this time, seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, Fan Dao and his wife, who did not want to do anything too harsh, stopped their hands and returned to watching. Seeing Fan Dao and his wife stop, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly. The couple also didn't want to think about it. If the person behind the scenes knew that they had taken action and helped them stop these assassins and ruined their plan, how could they just treat it as if it never happened?
This couple obviously doesn't understand the principle of cutting grass without eradicating the roots, and the spring breeze will bring new growth. It's just that someone just saved me, so I can't say anything. Looking at the assassins on the scene, there were only a few. Huang Qiong ordered Wang Dalong: "Leave two alive for interrogation, and kill the rest without mercy. They have helped us, so we must do it more authentically."
Huang Qiong did not deliberately lower his voice when giving this instruction. Fan Dao and his wife, who had obviously heard it over there, were secretly frightened. None of them expected that this young prince, who was still smiling when he was assassinated, would be so ruthless. His move means that from now on, there will no longer be a sect like Bai Sha Tang in the world.
Even though he did this, part of the reason was to repay him for taking action. However, they were both from the martial arts family, and the King of England was determined to eradicate the problem, which still frightened the couple. Especially when Huang Qiong gave this order, the smile on his face never faded. What a prince who is ruthless and extremely tolerant.
Seeing this scene in front of them, the couple couldn't even believe that the King of England was really only eighteen years old now. He is so experienced and decisive in his actions that even a twenty-eight-year-old cannot compare to him. With such an understatement, the lives of more than a dozen people are about to disappear. Is this really the authority of a superior?
This was the first time I saw martial arts people confronting the imperial army. I saw that each of the assassins, whose skills were at least second-rate, were almost defenseless under the combined attacks of the regular army's spears and halberds. Everyone was either shot down by crossbows or stabbed into a hornet's nest by spears. Fan Dao and his wife were even more shocked.
They did not expect that the skills they were once proud of would be so vulnerable in front of the army. Not to mention the fact that most of these assassins are only second-rate in skill, even my husband and wife, who are already first-class financially, may not be able to persist much longer in front of the imperial army.
Thinking of this, the couple looked at each other and saw the horror and joy in each other's eyes. If he hadn't just helped the King of England, the King of England would have died in front of him. The emperor was so angry that he really sent a large army to wipe out the Fan family. I am afraid that the fate of the Fan family will not be any better than today's Baisha Hall or the Shaolin Temple in the past.
People in the world who are good at fighting alone are really not worth mentioning in front of the imperial army. Thinking of this, the couple looked thoughtfully at Huang Qiong and Fan Jian over there. I don’t know whether Fan Jian serving the King of England, whose actions and age are extremely inconsistent, is a blessing or a curse for the Fan family.
Huang Qiong ignored what Fan Dao and his wife thought. He just looked at the scene indifferently as the battle situation entered the final stage. Just killing an enemy is easy, but if you want to capture these assassins alive, it may not be that easy. Especially for these assassins, who do not care about life and death.
He knew that if he assassinated the current prince, even if he surrendered, he would die. Moreover, the lives of his family were in the hands of the master behind him. The assassin leader, who could only fight desperately, was pierced by several spears and died. When his deputy saw that it was impossible to do anything, he simply turned the knife and wiped his neck.
The rest of the assassins either died in battle or committed suicide. However, these assassins who temporarily changed careers are not the kind of dead soldiers who are trained after all. Although it took a lot of extra effort and cost several sergeants casualties. Although they didn't catch the person the King of England wanted to catch, they still caught two assassins who were a bit petite and had been protected by other assassins just now.
