King of Song

Chapter 240 The Long Street Attack
In the evening, Qingtang City was gradually shrouded in night, and the night on the plateau in autumn was a bit cold, so there were not many people traveling.The axle of the carriage turned, and it moved quickly on the stone-paved street.

Xin Wenzhe was seriously ill and had to be treated as soon as possible, so Lin Zhao didn't delay for a moment.

He is quite at ease about the law and order of Hehuang Tubo, not to mention the soldiers of the imperial army brought by Su An, and some retinues such as Achang, all of them are good hands, so there should be no problem in terms of safety.

Xin Wenzhe nestled passively in Lin Zhao's arms, groaning from time to time, haggard to the extreme, looking at Lin Zhao could not bear it.

At the same time, I was also a little curious, what was it that made this calm appraiser worry so much that she became so anxious?

When he was contemplating, he suddenly heard the neighing of his mount, and Su An shouted: "There is an assassin!"

Lin Zhao was startled. He encountered an assassin in Qingtang City. He suddenly heard the sound of crossbow arrows piercing through the air, and there was a tinkling sound on the wall of the carriage. It was obvious that the carriage had been hit by an arrow.

Outside the carriage, Su An was very anxious, he didn't expect to encounter an assassin when he went out casually.Achang was also surprised. Fortunately, they were all top-notch experts, and their reactions were very quick, so they escaped the sudden crossbow shooting. Even so, a few followers and horses were hit by arrows, and the situation was not too serious.

"Protect the son!"

"Protect Shichiro!"

Su An and A Chang yelled each other, and when the words fell, a black-clothed killer rushed forward.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Zhao saw the situation outside through the window, remained motionless, hugging Xin Wenzhe with one hand, and grasped the hilt of the sword with the other.

Shouts of killing sounded outside the car window, and Lin Zhao could only hear the continuous sound of weapons clashing.

Su An and other soldiers of the imperial army, as well as A Chang and other retinues are all agile and superb martial arts experts. Although there are not many in number, they can still deal with the incoming assassins.

During the fight, there is a principle, that is, the assassin must never be allowed to approach the carriage, as there is a chance of injuring Lin Zhao and Xin Wenzhe.

They did this very easily. Seeing the fierce resistance, the killer seemed to have the intention of retreating despite the difficulties. Seeing that the momentum was not right, they all withdrew.

"My lord, it's fine for now, we just got a few people injured!"

"Don't worry about anything else, get out of here quickly!" Lin Zhao knew that Su An might have something to say to him, but the assassination came too suddenly, and he could only be truly safe when he returned to the Li Hotel.As for the identity and purpose of the assassin, there is no time to think about the relevant details.At the same time, Lin Zhao vaguely had an ominous premonition that the assassination would not be so simple!

"Yes!" The sudden assassination made both Su An and Achang wake up a lot, and carefully escorted Lin Zhao and Xin Wenzhe to leave quickly.Achang was puzzled in his heart, wondering if these people came for Qilang?After all, during the recent period, there have been unidentified people moving around the residence.At the same time, he was also a little thankful. Fortunately, after listening to Lin Zhao's opinion, it seemed that it was right to go to the Li Hotel.

The brief assassination passed, but Lin Zhao still had some uneasiness in his heart.

"What's going on?" Lin Zhao muttered to himself, and then told Su An to be careful all the way.

It was a long way from Xin Wenzhe's residence in the south of the city to the Li Hotel in the center of the city. They were already a little frightened at the moment, and they were inevitably a little nervous. It would never hurt to be careful.

Be careful sailing for thousands of years, this is absolutely true.

The carriage traveled all the way, and it was already approaching the center of the city, and it seemed that it would be back to the Li Hotel in a short time.They will be safe immediately, and the tense nerves of the subordinates are somewhat relaxed.

But at this time, when passing through a quiet street, I don’t know whether it is the mansion of a high-ranking Tubo official or a rich man on both sides. There are tall trees beside the road, which have already lost all their leaves. In the dark night, there are bare The tree trunks were not clearly visible either.

Suddenly, some killers jumped down from the tree trunks and rushed towards the carriage.

All the attendants were startled, immediately drew their swords, and stepped forward to guard beside the carriage!

This time, the assassins are far more turbulent than last time!

Sure enough, it came. Lin Zhao was assassinated twice in one night, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Lin Zhao's mouth.

Who thinks so highly of me?

Dozens of killers rushed over, and the target was the carriage in the middle...

Su An and A Chang were shocked and immediately confronted the killer.In the dark night, swords, lights and swords, blood splattered, and the scene was extremely chaotic...

The killer seemed determined to put people to death, and the charge was particularly ferocious. The guards and followers of the imperial army were struggling, and they even tended to be overwhelmed!
Lin Zhao looked out the window, and happened to see a Forbidden Army soldier being stabbed, blood splattered on the carriage, and then fell to the ground and died.Seeing this rare opportunity, the killer raised his knife and rushed towards the carriage.

Lin Zhao's long sword finally made a move. The moment the assassin approached the carriage, it pierced through the wall of the carriage and penetrated into the assassin's chest. It was regarded as revenge for the dead imperial soldier.

There are quite a few people at the moment, about 30 people, and the imperial army plus Xin Wenzhe's retinue, a total of about 20 people.Even if they are all first-class players, they are always at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

What's more, there was an assassination before this, and some soldiers were already injured. When the second assassination came that was caught off guard, casualties and disadvantages were inevitable.

Therefore, even if you go all out, you can only temporarily block the killer's crazy attack.As time continues to prolong, the situation will become more and more unfavorable to them.Now I can only hope that reinforcements will arrive...

Residents on both sides of the street have already noticed something, I am afraid that the constant swords and swords outside make them a little scared.

This place is already considered the central area of ​​Qingtang City, and it is very close to the palace, the Li Hotel, and the residences of many dignitaries.I believe that the Tubo soldiers patrolling the city should be able to arrive in time when they discover the situation...

But the result made them a little disappointed. It was a bit strange that no one had come for a long time.Lin Zhao had no time to think about the negligence of the Tubo soldiers, or other reasons.

Knowing that it will be quite dangerous to continue, for now, I can only find a way to break through.As long as you escape from the encirclement, you will be relatively safe.

He didn't believe that in the center of Qingtang City, after someone dared to assassinate him and failed, he continued to chase him all over the street...

At this moment, maybe it was too noisy outside, or maybe it was because Lin Zhao's embrace was too warm, Xin Wenzhe, who had been in a coma for a long time, woke up leisurely.

When she saw Lin Zhao for the first time, the beauty was a little surprised, her eyes were full of disbelief, she might be wondering if I was dreaming?

"you're awake?"

"Where am I? How did you come here?" Xin Wenzhe had realized that it was not a dream, but a reality. She was very surprised, how could she be in Lin Zhao's arms.

"You're sick, I'll take you for treatment!" Lin Zhao only said one sentence, and Xin Wenzhe had already understood that Achang probably went to him.It's just that I don't know how many things A Chang said. As for the consequences... She still has no time to think about it.No matter what, he appeared, he was willing to help himself, and he was already very satisfied.Xin Wenzhe was a little excited, and couldn't help but burst into tears...

"Don't cry, now is not the time to cry!"

Xin Wenzhe had already heard the sound of swords clashing outside the carriage, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Last time in Hezhou, you were the one who got me into trouble; today I got into trouble with you, I'm sorry!"

This matter can be said to be the best memory between each other, and it immediately dilutes the surprise and fear of the swords and swords outside. They smiled lightly and said nothing!

Lin Zhaorou said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here for everything, it's fine!"

Immediately, when Su An was approaching the carriage, Lin Zhao ordered: "Bozhou, the situation is critical, don't be sorry, break out!"

"Yes!" Su An immediately signaled to Achang, and the two rushed forward to gather the remaining ten or so effective imperial guards and followers together to form a triangle.

Everyone got on their horses and took advantage of the horses to charge forward.Su An and A Chang went first, brandishing their long swords, starting a bloody road.The triangle is like a sharp wedge, fighting forward and breaking through...

The remaining two sides guarded the carriage to ensure that Lin Langzhong and Xin Qilang in the carriage would not be harmed.

On the long street, under numerous assassinations, Lin Zhao is breaking through...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the south of the city, Ali Gu and Sunan Dangzheng came in a hurry!

The torches illuminated the night very brightly. In the streets and alleys, there were bloodstains all over the ground and walls of the fallen war horses and soldiers.On the trunk next to it, there is a feathered arrow stuck in it!
Obviously, there has just been a battle here!
"General, I found the badge of the Song Army on my body!" The attendant came to report immediately after inspecting the corpse on the ground.

Ali Gu and Sunan Dangzheng glanced at each other, showing a shocked expression. The Song Army general was shot and died in the capital of Tubo?And now the only Song army in Qingtang City is the guard of the envoy Lin Zhao, so it's strange that the two of them are not surprised by this matter?

In the darkness, even though there were torches blazing, the other soldiers didn't notice. The shocked expressions on the faces of the two soldiers were a little stiff, and there seemed to be a calmness in their eyes...

Sunan Dangzheng is responsible for the security of Qingtang City at night today. He and Ali Gu hurried over after learning about the suspected assassination in the south of the city.

"Sunan Dangzheng, go to the palace and report to Zanpu, or report to Mr. Duoji first, and I will go to the Li Hotel to see!"

"it is good!"

This was originally a good division of labor, everything is developing according to the expected rhythm...

But at this moment, the hurried sound of horseshoes sounded in the street, and a patrol soldier came to report: "Two generals, a carriage and more than ten knights in the center of the city have been hunted down..."

Tonight's Qingtang City is really not peaceful!
A carriage, more than a dozen knights...

Ali Gu muttered to himself, suddenly his heart moved, he turned around and looked at Sunan Dangzheng, and they both saw shock in the other party's eyes...
