"Everyone, be careful, there is an assassin!"
Di Renjie yelled and immediately dismounted and looked for cover, preparing to pull Cheng De, but found that he had already disappeared.
"Master Di, here!"
Behind a big tree, Cheng De showed his head and waved to Di Renjie.
Well!
Di Renjie was stunned, but now is not the time to think about this. Since the enemy is coming with preparations, he will not miss this opportunity, and there must be a back-up plan behind him.
It's slow to say, but it's just a flash of lightning.
Just when Di Renjie came behind the big tree, he heard the other party's voice: Shoot.
Dozens of arrows were fired at them as soon as they missed. Their express delivery team still had a bunker, but the same could not be said for the others, especially the few policemen who fell to the ground and kept wailing, and were shot into a hornet's nest in an instant.
Three people were suddenly missing from the five people they brought, which made Di Renjie furious. He gritted his teeth and stood up, quickly blocking the arrow and covering the remaining two people as they retreated into the woods.
"Quick, retreat to the woods immediately and find cover!"
The two detectives glanced at their superiors gratefully, gritted their teeth and ran inside.
Di Renjie himself was blocking the arrow and retreating, but just when he was about to retreat into the woods, he heard the sound of horse hooves, and his heart suddenly froze!
"Come back quickly!"
Cheng De forcefully pulled Di Renjie behind the big tree, but an arrow was shot towards him. With a muffled groan, his left arm was scratched by the arrow.
"Are you OK?"
Di Renjie's eyes narrowed, he pulled out the arrow from the tree and glanced at it, his eyes narrowed.
"poisonous!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "What a cruel heart and vicious methods!"
But what Cheng De did next surprised him. After he said, "Look at it for me," he rolled up his sleeves. When he saw that the wound had turned black, he wanted to open his mouth and start sucking.
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to take drugs.
But seeing that the enemy was approaching, he gritted his teeth and defended himself.
"Can you two still move?"
The two policemen he rescued were still in shock. After hearing Di Renjie's words, one of them endured the pain in his body and said, "You can still move. If you need anything, Master Di, just give me your orders!"
"I will cut off the rear for you. Quickly find someone to support you. This place is not far from Ji's Zhuangzi. Go there and ask for help!"
The policeman was very anxious after hearing this and wanted to refuse, but Di Renjie gave him a sharp look.
"Don't wait any longer. They can still block them for a while. You guys are useless if you stay here. Go quickly!"
Although the two detectives were dissatisfied when they heard this, they also knew that Di Renjie was right. They gritted their teeth and said, "Take care, Mr. Di!"
"Walk!"
Instead, he and Cheng had done the same thing at the same time, which was to drive their horses into the woods. At this time, there happened to be two intact horses, otherwise they would not be able to call for help.
"drive!"
"drive!"
The two of them mounted their war horses and did not dare to go to the mainland. They went back and forth on this road several times, and they knew that there was a trail. As long as they passed through this small forest, they could gallop on horseback!
"Stop them!"
At this time, the assassin who was trying to stop them had arrived. When he saw someone leaving on horseback, he immediately became anxious and asked someone to stop them.
But can Di Renjie give them a chance? After opening his sleeves, he saw a small steel crossbow appearing in front of everyone. He activated his machine and fired several arrows with a faint light towards everyone.
Poof!
No one thought that the other side had this kind of crossbow machine, and several people were shot immediately. Originally, this small arrow had little lethality, but after being shot, they felt their bodies go numb, and within a moment they lost all their strength.
"poisonous!"
The other leader glanced at him and ignored him, but said to Di Renjie who was a few steps behind: "This friend, as long as we become virtuous and hand him over, we will not face any embarrassment."
"how?"
Who is Di Renjie? Can you believe this?
"No matter what, come here if you can!"
Then he continued: "I am an official of the imperial court. You should have heard of my father."
"who is it?"
"Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Di Zhisun!"
"What?"
The enemy leader was stunned. He didn't expect it to be Di Zhisun, who was the confidant of Ji Song, Duke of Tang Dynasty. This person in front of him was actually his son?
Now there's trouble.
After Di Renjie finished speaking, he looked at Cheng De and saw that there was already blood on his arm. He must have sucked out all the remaining poison and bandaged it himself.
"Be careful, they are not from the Tang Dynasty!"
"What?"
Di Renjie was stunned and didn't understand what it meant for a moment!
"You know, I have met many people with my father since I was a child. No matter how hard they pretend, I can still hear the difference in their languages!"
Di Renjie frowned when he heard this. The reason why the other party did not step forward was because he was worried that he still had crossbow arrows and did not want to lose manpower.
But this is not a long-term solution. Once the other party gets anxious, they will definitely die!
"Can you still run?"
Chengde nodded: "It's not a big problem!"
Di Renjie's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, then I'll have some fun with them! One last question, how many people can you block?"
"Three or five should be fine!"
Hearing this, Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them cooed a few times, and Di Renjie yelled: "Look at the arrow!"
The other party was suddenly startled and quickly avoided it, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement. Looking up again, I saw the two of them running deeper into the woods.
The leader was furious and yelled at everyone in an unknown language.
Cheng De, who was escaping, had a murderous look on his face and whispered: "Big cannibal!"
"What? What did you say?"
Di Renjie, who was also running on the side, didn't hear clearly for a while and asked.
"They are cannibals, and what they just said was cannibalism!"
Di Renjie was stunned, but this was not the time to think about it. This forest was their only chance. At this point, bows and arrows are of little use. As long as they are not besieged, with their martial arts skills, most people really can't leave them alone. But there were dozens of people on the other side, and it was impossible for them to kill them all. Now the only hope is support from Jijiazhuangzi.
"Let's not separate, or we will be defeated by each of them!"
"clear!"
Although the two met for the first time, for some reason they had a very good understanding, as if they had been friends for many years.
For a while, the two of them were like cats and mice, leading the assassins around, but luck could not always be with them. During the process, people kept firing cold arrows, and slowly forced them to escape in only one direction.
Half an hour later, the two of them were forced to linger in a ditch, in extremely miserable condition.
"I didn't expect that I, Di Renjie, would die in the hands of thieves before I could shine in my life. I'm not willing to accept it!"
Di Renjie changed his posture and smiled bitterly.
Compared to Di Renjie, Chengde, who is several years older than him, is much calmer. Di Renjie had just seen with his own eyes that Cheng De was extremely ruthless and resorted to all possible means.
During this period of time, he killed at least five people, one more than him!
"So what if you don't want to give in? I just want to avenge my parents and brothers!"
He wiped the horizontal knife, the hatred in his eyes not diminishing at all. By this time, even a fool would know what was going on. The murderer of his parents was, of course, a cannibal.
Although I don’t know exactly what I am willing to do, it is almost the same.
But he couldn't understand how his father provoked them? You actually want to eradicate the roots and even kill him?
At this time, the killer outside was slowly approaching. If you could see the expression under the veil, you would definitely see the ugly expression of its leader.
Unexpectedly, the interception and killing would result in heavy losses. You must know that this is the Tang Dynasty, and they are extremely short of manpower. If they lose so many good men, they will probably be severely punished even if they go back!
These two people are too difficult to deal with. According to their intelligence, Chengde is a teacher. Who would have thought that the other party would have such skills? Khatib hid it deeply enough.
This time he didn't shout any more, because they were all redundant. Both parties know that only the surviving party between them can leave.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Di Renjie tied the Hengdao and his hand tightly with a piece of cloth, and he was ready to fight.
"I will create a chance for you later, and you must escape!"
Chengde was still wiping the blade and said without raising his head.
As if he knew what Di Renjie was going to say, he said directly: "Thank you for being with me for such a long time. But you can't die. If you have to thank me, then escape and avenge me."
"My father is dead, my mother is dead, my brothers and sisters are all dead. My father is old and can no longer lift a knife. My mother is a weak woman and is in poor health."
Chengde seemed to be talking in his sleep and said to himself: "My brothers and sisters are still young. If I don't go down to accompany them, won't they be bullied?"
He looked at Di Renjie fiercely and begged: "After I die, you take my wife and children to Mr. Liu and beg him to arrange for my wife and children to live in Ji's village, and all the family property will be given to Mr. Liu." Master. I don’t ask them to be rich, I just want them to be safe.”
Di Renjie squirmed his mouth a few times, trying to say something, but nothing came out.
He knew that Chengde had already decided to die at this time, but he didn't expect that he would create hope for himself before dying.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Di Renjie did not hesitate. He had been rational since he was a child and knew that they must not all die at this time. Otherwise, who would avenge them?
"Thanks!"
Just when Di Renjie was about to say something, he heard a sound breaking through the air above him. He was startled and quickly blocked it.
boom!
"kill!
.............................
The two of them were breathing heavily and were exhausted.
They were surrounded, and at some point they were surrounded by the enemy. At this time, there are enemies on all sides, and there is no way to escape even if you want to.
"It seems that we don't have to say anything anymore and let's die together!"
Chengde didn't say anything this time, but the determination in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
"Kill!"
The two looked at each other and actually took the lead in attacking amidst each other's surprised eyes. Now the two of them have only one idea, that is, they must die on the way to the kill and never retreat!
boom
Di Renjie was knocked to the ground and he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Then Cheng De had no idea where to go. He had multiple stab wounds on his body and was bleeding profusely.
"Big cannibal, you will pay the price for your actions. Don't think that everything will be fine just by killing me!"
Di Renjie spat out another mouthful of blood and looked at the killers fiercely.
"Now that I know, I can't keep you anymore."
"Go, kill them, collect the bodies of our brothers, and retreat immediately!"
At this time, the delay has been very long. Zhongyuan said that if it is too late, things will change, and he does not want to delay it anymore.
"yes!"
Two of them raised their swords and were about to chop off the heads of Cheng De and Di Renjie, but at this moment.
Bang bang!
Two meteor-like arrows hit the two sabers, shaking their wrists so hard that they couldn't hold the handles of the sabers, and the sabers also dropped.
"who?"
Before everyone could react, they saw a man on a horse, holding a hand and attacking violently, and three arrows were shot at everyone. The killers were shot through the throat before they could even react!
Well!
The three men died tragically in an instant. The leader was horrified and quickly defended himself. But there was no way they could defend themselves. The other party didn't give them a chance at all. The opponent bent his bow and shot arrows without missing a beat, and three more people died in a short period of time.
"Everybody defend!"
At this time, they no longer cared about the two people on the ground, and quickly found a bunker to cover themselves.
But someone was a step too late, and three more people were shot dead. You won’t know who the enemy is until you die!
Di Renjie and Cheng were horrified. Who is this person? There is such a wonderful shot?
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the killers did not dare to show their heads for fear of being shot by the other party. I can only shout: "Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business? As long as you retreat, you will be rewarded with great gifts."
"A heavy gift? Haha!"
Only then did Di Renjie and Cheng De see the person clearly, but neither of them recognized them.
"You kill people in my land and you dare to speak so brazenly. Who do you think you are?"
Own fiefdom?
Di Renjie's eyes lit up, he endured the pain and stood up and said, "But the Duke of Nie's house is in front of you? Di Renjie, the head of the punishment department, has met your Excellency!"
"Taibai Royal Academy, Cheng De!"
Chengde also clasped his fists and saluted.
"It turns out it's you!"
The visitor was wearing brocade clothes, mink fur, and a jade crown. His appearance is very strong, resolute and courageous, and his appearance is also rare. At least for so many years, among the people they have seen, there are really few people who can surpass the person in front of them.
"I'm staying at Ji's Village, Ji Run!"
That's right, the visitor is none other than Ji Run. He really can't stay in Chang'an during this period. Every day he is either being ordered around by Aunt Pingyang or being taken around by his mother to show off.
At a young age, he was already the head of the Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty and the captain of the Jinwu Guards. She would not be able to sleep well unless such a son showed off.
He couldn't bear the disturbance, so he took a few days off and went back to Zhuangzi to see his ancestors.
But I didn't expect that when I went out for a walk today, I saw someone fighting on their own land. Is this a big deal? This is not taking Ji's attention at all!
He was also a very brave man, and while he asked people to find someone, he came to help on his own despite the dissuasion of his personal guards.
But he didn't take this small scene lightly. What kind of enemy had he not seen on the grassland? These shameless killers are not taken seriously at all!
"Ah! It turns out that the young master is in front of you. I'm rude!"
When Di Renjie heard that the other party was called Ji Run, he was shocked and saluted quickly.
"No need to be polite, wait until we deal with them!"
He no longer rides a horse. After all, this is a forest and it is inconvenient. He was able to dismount the horse, and without saying a word, he opened his bow and shot. He saw a killer who had just popped up to check the situation and covered his neck unwilling to die...
For a moment, everyone was shocked and no longer dared to show their faces!
