Marquis Dongchuan was worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, and he reacted very quickly. The moment the steward attacked him, he flipped his iron palm and grabbed the long knife that the steward had struck. He also used the sword to kill the steward. Cut off at the waist.
Then, he stirred up his energy and threw the long knife at the 'soldiers' who rushed towards him.
Under the influence of blood energy, this long knife was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder. It instantly penetrated the 'Jin soldiers' who were charging at the front, but several other 'Jin soldiers' also rushed in front of him and swung their swords. Just cut it.
"Dangdangdangdang..."
There was a sound of metal collision.
Dongchuan Hou, like Qin Shaoyou, was an old fool. He wore armor under his robes, and it was not ordinary iron armor. At least the fierce attacks of these 'private soldiers' could not penetrate it.
This time, Dongchuan Hou didn't even use his blood. He directly stretched out his hands, grabbed the heads of these 'private soldiers', and knocked them two by two. There was only a muffled sound of 'collision'. The 'janissaries' were all hit with their heads blown off.
In just the blink of an eye, several assassins were killed by Marquis Dongchuan.
But at this time, Marquis Dongchuan also noticed something strange and wrong.
First of all, the blood and strength in his body were even more corroded and paralyzed by the invading strange poison during this short fight!
Although Hou Dongchuan tried his best to use his skills to suppress the poison, the effect was not very good.
Before the toxin is completely removed, his strength will not only be weakened, but will continue to weaken.
Secondly, Marquis Dongchuan discovered that after the death of the housekeeper and those 'private soldiers', there was no blood flowing out of their bodies.
At the same time, their soft appearance does not look like flesh and blood.
Dongchuan Houhu stared, his eyes flashed, and he saw something strange on these corpses.
These are indeed not flesh and blood, but dummies made of straw paper!
There is also a "face" on the face of the butler's paper man. It is this weird face that makes this paper man look exactly like the butler. Even his breath is lifelike, and this is how he deceived the eyes of Marquis Dongchuan. , which made him lose his guard and was poisoned and attacked.
"Since these assassins are all paper figures and fake, where is the real assassin hiding?"
Marquis Dongchuan's face was livid, he raised his head and looked around without saying a word, and at the same time, he was bleeding blood for exploration.
Of course he knew that the more he used his blood, the more the strange poison in his body would corrode his blood and weaken his strength.
But in the current situation, it is impossible not to use the blood energy. The only way is to drink poison to quench the thirst, hoping to quickly find the assassins, kill them, and then concentrate on removing the poison.
In the courtyard where the study is located, everyone had different reactions to this sudden change.
The servants were obviously frightened. They dropped the sandbags they were carrying and ran out of the yard, shouting "There is an assassin" and "Come quickly, someone wants to kill the Marquis" as they ran.
Some people even fell into the standing water because they were too scared and anxious.
Seeing their reaction and appearance, Marquis Dongchuan didn't think they looked like assassins, so he ignored them and allowed them to escape from the courtyard so that he could call reinforcements.
At the same time, Ma Chao and other soldiers guarding the study room shouted "Protect the Marquis" and other words, and rushed over with their weapons drawn.
Marquis Dongchuan, who had just been deceived and suffered a loss, was a little unsure whether people like Ma Chao wanted to protect himself or had other ideas.
Just as Marquis Dongchuan was about to stop these soldiers and tell them not to get too close, the remains of several paper figures floating in the water suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.
Those lights come from the talismans painted on the paper figures.
Immediately afterwards, these paper figures exploded. Although they failed to injure Marquis Dongchuan, they shocked him.
What Dongchuan Hou didn't expect was that after the paper man exploded, a cloud of smoke billowed up and entered his nose.
Marquis Dongchuan noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly held his breath and stimulated his blood energy to force out the smoke, but he felt that his head was briefly in a trance.
It turns out that this smoke is a smoke poison carefully developed by Taoist Master Qiu Shi, which can confuse people's willpower and weaken their mental resistance.
At the same moment when the smoke Gu appeared and he was in a trance, Dongchuan Hou felt as if someone was chanting the "Daxia Law" in a low voice in his ears: "Anyone who colludes with foreign enemies, beheaded! Kill the good and risk the merits." That person, Ling Chi! Those who participate in the rebellion will be punished by the three tribes..."
Marquis Dongchuan was startled. Before he could identify the direction of the sound, he saw the faces of Ma Chao and the others rushing toward them, with murderous intent appearing on their faces.
Are they assassins too? Want to kill me?
Although this was just a suspicion, Hou Dongchuan did not hesitate at all and immediately took action, killing Ma Chao and others with lightning speed.
As soon as he killed these people, Hou Dongchuan realized that he had been fooled again and killed the wrong person.
When Ma Chao and others were killed by him, they didn't even resist, but showed shock and disbelief in their eyes.
This is obviously not the reaction an assassin should have.
Thinking of the strange smoke just now and the momentary trance in his head, Dongchuan Hou knew that he must have been under some kind of illusion just now!
Although the attack was not deep, the person who cast the illusion had grasped his mentality of "every tree and grass are at war" at this moment, and induced him to misunderstand Ma Chao and others.
The other party may not be a master of illusion, but he is a guy who is good at manipulating people's hearts!
Although he killed the wrong person, Dongchuan Hou did not blame himself.
And he was not in the mood or time to blame himself now. He just looked around, trying to find the assassin.
At the same time, he roared loudly: "Come out! Aren't you going to kill me? I'm standing here, but you are here to kill me!"
Marquis Dongchuan seemed to be furious and losing his mind, but in fact, he had quickly calmed down after suffering consecutive losses.
The anger and madness at this moment were all deliberately pretended by him, so as to show weakness to the enemy and make the enemy take it lightly.
At the same time, Marquis Dongchuan took a clear look at the situation around the study.
I saw waves rolling up all around the yard, like forming a wall of water, blocking out all the soldiers who heard the noise and wanted to rush over for reinforcements.
These soldiers tried to break through the water wall, but it was useless. Instead, they were knocked away by the water wall, or even trapped in the water wall, suffocated and drowned.
The heavy rain falling from the night sky formed a rain cover over the courtyard, making it impossible for people to enter or exit.
Floods and heavy rains sealed the courtyard and turned it into a prison!
Surround the prison of Marquis Dongchuan!
Marquis Dongchuan's face was very ugly.
Because he knew very well that if the other party could make such an arrangement in an instant, in addition to being strong enough, he must have had a plan in advance and had even moved around his study. Before that, he Unexpectedly, there was no knowledge or awareness.
The frightened and angry Marquis Dongchuan was about to try to see if he could break through the water wall and rush out to join the soldiers outside, but he suddenly realized something.
"These water and rain can be controlled by assassins to turn into water walls and water covers. Can they also be turned into offensive attacks?!"
As soon as the thought came to mind, before Marquis Dongchuan could react, the rain falling from the sky suddenly froze into ice and turned into a sharp ice arrow, roaring towards him with the force of thunder!
At the same time, the water in the yard suddenly surged up, not only instantly breaking down the dike built by the servants, but also turned into ferocious water dragons, and rushed towards Dongchuan Hou with teeth and claws, trying to tear him apart. Eat it in pieces!
"The water and rain are really weird! But they can't hurt me!"
Hou Dongchuan roared and stopped suppressing the strange poison in his body. He planned to kill these damn assassins first!
Just when the torrential rain turned into arrows and the waves were like dragons, Dongchuan Hou also caught a few breaths.
It's the breath of an assassin!
"I found you rats, go to hell!"
Marquis Dongchuan let out a long roar, and like a hunting eagle, he quickly flew towards the location of those few wisps of breath.
