Chapter 158 The mysterious man in black

Hearing the reminder from the guards, Qin Shuhuang's expression froze, and he immediately forced himself to remain calm, lying down on the horse's back.

The guard quickly drew his sword to block the arrow.

But then, more arrows shot over!With a piercing sound!
The guard next to him was shocked, and immediately ordered the others, "Form the formation! Protect Your Highness!"

A dozen personal guards surrounded Qin Shuhuang in the middle, and those on horseback on the outside defended against the arrows.

After a while, three bodyguards were shot, and one of them was shot in the vital part and fell off the horse.

This wave of arrows passed, and the third wave of arrows will soon come again.

This time three more guards were wounded.

Only a few waves of arrows have already injured half of the guards brought by Qin Shuhuang. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Qin Shuhuang is assassinated, and no one here can survive.

The head of the personal guard said coldly: "Xiong Wu and I cover His Highness to escape, and the rest of the people will die!"

Even though they knew that breaking the back basically meant losing their lives, these personal guards did not hesitate.

After moving out of Gu's residence, His Highness has considered everything for them. Usually, the rewards are not thin, and the family can live and work in peace and contentment.

They can be sure that among the nobles in Beijing, only their master, the eldest princess, can do this!

These personal guards have long agreed to give their lives to the eldest princess. It is no big deal for them to sacrifice now. Without them, the family will definitely be taken care of better!

Qin Shuhuang couldn't bear to look at the guards behind him, gritted his teeth, and rode away in the opposite direction under the cover of the remaining two guards.

Seeing Qin Shuhuang being escorted away by two personal guards, the person who fired the hidden arrow jumped out from behind the hidden bushes and killed the personal guards behind him.

Regardless of the guards who were surrounded and strangled behind him, the remaining two guards escorted Qin Shuhuang and ran away at high speed.

Just when Qin Shuhuang and the three of them were about to escape from the ambush range, the horse let out a mournful long hiss, struggled and writhed frantically, Qin Shuhuang fell off the horse, and rolled several times on the ground in embarrassment.

This fall was too sudden, if it wasn't for the pull of the guard beside him, Qin Shuhuang who suddenly fell off the horse would have lost his arms and legs.

But even so, Qin Shuhuang's body was scratched with several deep wounds, and his whole body hurt, and he was afraid that many places were bruised.

Looking at the horse that Qin Shuhuang was riding just now, the horse's buttocks were hit by several arrows, it struggled slowly, and was about to fall to the ground.

Qin Shuhuang's face became colder, these arrows are not only sharp but also poisonous!
Looking at the bodyguards at the back, as expected, within a quarter of an hour, some of the bodyguards could no longer control the powerlessness of poisoning, and were hacked to death by the enemy...

Qin Shuhuang fell off the horse suddenly, and the two guards immediately jumped off the horse and came to help Qin Shuhuang up.

After a short delay, the masked assassins in gray clothes had already caught up.

Instructing Xiong Wu to take Qin Shuhuang away, the leading bodyguard drew his sword and faced the gray-clothed assassins.

But there were too many people, and he couldn't stop so many people by himself.

Xiong Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, run away quickly and run towards the river. If you are overtaken, jump into the river. Maybe you can save your life."

After speaking, Xiong Wu, who was left at the end, also met the gray-clothed assassin.

Of course Qin Shuhuang understood what Xiong Wu meant. Only by jumping into the river without showing his head, and drifting down the river, could he be rescued!

She has good water skills, and this is the only chance to escape from this situation.

Qin Shuhuang gritted her teeth and ran towards the river at the fastest speed. This is the chance to survive that Xiong Wu and others have created for her with their lives, and she cannot waste it!

Running fast, Qin Shuhuang's heart was beating fast, as if it was about to pop out of his throat in the next moment, breathing violently, his eyes were only on the river that he could already see not far ahead.

But the next moment, someone pulled back her clothes forcefully, and she leaned back uncontrollably. In an instant, a bright dagger appeared in front of her eyes. The sharp edge of the dagger was blackened. It was a poisonous dagger!
The dagger quickly stabbed towards Qin Shuhuang's chest.

She has no chance to resist at all!

Seeing the dagger piercing her chest, it seemed that she was being pulled for a very long time. Qin Shuhuang, who had almost resigned to his fate, suddenly felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart.

In the next life, she still has many things to do and many wishes not to be fulfilled. She can't just be killed so easily!
Qin Shuhuang erupted a will to live like never before.

At the very moment, she suddenly stretched out both hands to hold the dagger-holding wrist of the man in gray, preventing him from stabbing the dagger into her chest.

It was because Qin Shuhuang bought such a little time that a long sword was able to fly the dagger in the gray-clothed assassin's hand, and then the long sword turned around and pierced the gray-clothed assassin's right shoulder.

The gray-clothed assassin was in pain, so he could only let go of Qin Shuhuang and took two steps back.

After going through the life-and-death moment just now, Qin Shuhuang was panting violently because of nervousness.

She turned to look at the man in black who was fighting the gray-clothed assassin.

At this time, a group of men in black had arrived near her at some point.

There are as many as 30 people!
Moreover, these men in black were well-equipped and skilled. The men in black at the head dealt with the gray-clothed assassin who almost succeeded in killing her just now.

After killing the gray-clothed assassin, the leading man in black confessed, "Leave a team to protect the eldest princess, and the rest will follow me."

Qin Shuhuang, who has lived two lifetimes, tried hard to distinguish this voice, but still felt it was extremely strange.

In short, this group of men in black who suddenly appeared did not seem to be bad for her, and she stood beside them for the time being.

Looking not far away, the man in black quickly helped Qin Shuhuang's guards deal with some of the gray-clothed assassins.

But soon Qin Shuhuang discovered that another wave of men in gray appeared at the place where they first encountered each other!

These people are also dealing with the gray-clothed assassins, but the number of these people is relatively small, only about five.

When they saw a man in black coming, they fled first.

Not long after, all the assassins in gray were captured by the men in black.

But the gray-clothed assassin who was captured alive quickly fell down, with black blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Five of Qin Shuhuang's personal guards had already died, the remaining Xiong Wu and the other five were injured, and four were poisoned.

Qin Shuhuang hurried over, knelt down quickly to give the pulse of the living guards, and then took out a porcelain bottle from his purse and handed it to Xiong Wu, asking Xiong Wu to feed the red pill inside to the poisoned guards .

This is the poison that Song Yuan brought to Qin Shuhuang, in case of emergency.

This kind of poison is overbearing but not immediately fatal, and can inhibit other toxins.

After taking this kind of poison pill, it is enough to take the antidote after returning home, which can temporarily control the poisonous arrows and knives of the gray-clothed assassin.

When Qin Shuhuang arranged for the guards to stand up, the man in black who had just come to rescue in an emergency had quietly retreated at some point!
