Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 572
According to the tradition of Khitan offering sacrifices to the heavens, the sacrifices were instantly burned to ashes, which means that the heavens are very satisfied with the sacrifices, that is, the sacrifice to the heavens is extremely successful.Therefore, when Empress Xiao and the emperor witnessed this scene, they nodded slightly to express their appreciation for Zhang Wumeng.

There are two stunning women sitting behind the empress and the emperor, together with Empress Xiao who is also of the stunning rank. Sitting together, the three of them make all the men on and off the building look sideways. They dare not look directly at the empress, so most of them All eyes were on the two women behind the queen.

Empress Xiao saw that Zhang Wumeng was sitting on the altar after casting the spell, closed her eyes slightly, and muttered something in her mouth, she didn't know what she was muttering.Suddenly remembered something, Weiwei turned to one of the two women behind her, and said: "Speaking of which, Haoyue is also Zhang Tianshi's closed disciple, Zhang Tianshi just cast a spell, Haoyue has also learned it?"

That's right, the two stunning women behind Empress Xiao are Yu Daoxiang and Yu Qingyan.Yu Daoxiang is naturally Princess Haoyue of Khitan Kingdom.

Yu Daoxiang heard the words, glanced at Zhang Wumeng, a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in the depths of her eyes, and said: "Sister-in-law! Zhang Wumeng didn't teach me how to perform spells just now."

Empress Xiao was a little disappointed, and was about to turn around, when Yu Qingyan suddenly said: "Actually, what Zhang Tianshi cast just now was not a magic spell, the silver light he sprinkled on the ignited sacrifice just now was a kind of silver light powder, which can be burned when it sees fire. Intensify the fire a hundred times in an instant, and naturally burn the sacrifice into fly ash almost instantly. So as long as there is this silver light powder, anyone can do the scene just now."

Empress Xiao frowned when she heard the words, and when she looked at Zhang Wumeng again, her eyes became a little hostile. She was about to say something more, when suddenly five powerful arrows appeared from somewhere at this moment like a ghost that was killing her. A quick shot arrived, and the Queen's shoulder was shot by an arrow. The arrow was extremely powerful and penetrated into the flesh and blood.

At this time, exclamations were heard everywhere, Yu Daoxiang and Yu Qingyan turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw that although Xiao Hou was hit by an arrow, she endured the severe pain, stabilized her body, and was rushing to help the emperor, a sharp arrow straight into her chest.The commander of the palace guards next to him, Xiao Bayong, was hit by an arrow through his chest, and fell on his back. Another commander who seemed to be talking to Xiao Xiuming was also shot through his neck by a crossbow. With a long arrow body, he bulged his eyes angrily, as if he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth twice, and then fell heavily to the ground.

There was chaos on the tower. Although Xiao Hou was hit by an arrow, she was extremely strong and tenacious. She and an eunuch next to her supported the emperor and hurriedly retreated. The royal family and nobles who were pointing at the altar side by side, chatting and laughing intimately, now drew their knives and roared towards the guards in the palace.

Yu Qingyan backed away in panic, looking around behind Yu Daoxiang in astonishment, but Empress Xiao felt her arms were sore and limp, and felt too much pain at the place where the arrow was hit, but she felt a little numb instead, she couldn't help but shuddered: "There is poison on the arrow."

Under the city, suddenly there was a noise from the sky-shaking steps outside the gate of the city, people were panicking back and forth, wolves were running, trampling and crying all of a sudden.

Empress Xiao gritted her silver teeth, grabbed the arrow feathers and pulled hard. The spiked arrows brought out a mass of flesh and blood, but brought out most of the poison. However, she was also pale from the severe pain just now, and her forehead was covered with blood. beads of sweat.But she didn't care about it, she just supported the emperor to step back.The commander of the palace guards, Xiao Bayong, and the other two commanders were all dead. The only one on the sacrificial building escaped the arrows and survived. , Empress back to the palace!" As he spoke, he continued rushing towards the emperor.

In the corner of the sacrificial building, Yeluxuan was overjoyed to see the emperor hit by an arrow. He swung his knife and knocked down two ministers beside him who had drawn out their swords and looked around in a panic but couldn't tell who was the enemy.At this moment, there was chaos in the sacrificial building, and an officer of the palace guard didn't know whether he was a traitor or a loyal one. He just killed the enemy or me, so he shouted: "The prince came just in time, come and protect your majesty and queen."

Yeluyu laughed grimly and said, "I will feel at ease when I cut off the head on his neck."

The palace guard officer was taken aback. Seeing Yeluxi swiping his sword like a horse, sweeping across the crumbling emperor, the power of this sword was enough to cut the emperor in two. Xiao Xiuming stepped in front of him with a stride, opened his arms, He shouted sharply: "Hurry up and escort the emperor back to the palace."

Yeluyu was startled, he gritted his steel teeth again, and still sliced ​​off with the knife, but after only a short pause, Xiao Xiuming rushed over quickly, with the knife in his hand to meet him, he is a top-notch expert, but Yeluu Chu also possessed first-class strength, and his strength was boundless. At this time, he held the saber powerfully. When the two sabers knocked, a series of sparks burst out, and the blade came to a stop near Xiao Xiuming's neck. Dan Xian let go and flew away, his expression changed.

At the same time, Zhang Wumeng on the altar noticed that there was a change in the sacrificial building, so he opened his eyes suddenly, took a look at the situation, and flew directly down to the sacrificial building.

However, at this moment, among the nearly 16 soldiers guarding the altar and rushing towards the sacrificial building, 16 of them suddenly stopped, turned around, jumped up at the same time, and suddenly shot at Zhang Wumeng. The death nails covered the whole body, an iron spear pierced the throat, a horse-slashing knife cut the waist, two machetes cut the lower body, and five long swords stabbed at his lower body with the sword intent... These [-] people shot , showed a first-class standard.

That's right, the sixteen first-rate masters hiding among the hundred soldiers were the five sword slaves who followed Yu Daoxiang and Yu Qingyan, and Lian Jicheng and the ten gold-medal killers of Huaxia Weifu Assassination Department led by him.

The 16 people shot at the same time, and chose the moment when Zhang Wumeng flew down from the four-foot-high altar. Even if Zhang Wumeng had a half-step innate terror state, facing the joint attack of sixteen first-class assassins, his expression changed drastically. , and even felt a life-and-death crisis like never before.

These 16 people were naturally inserted by Xiao Xiuming, the envoy of the Beifu. His move had a great risk of exposing himself, but in order to save Ye Chen's life, Xiao Xiuming and even all the Huaxia Weifu, and even the entire Song Dynasty Some people think that even if everyone in the entire Beifu sacrifices for this, it is worth it.

A long howl came from Zhang Wumeng's mouth in mid-air, which instantly suppressed the shouts of killing on the entire street.Accompanied by this long howl, Zhang Wumeng first stepped on the instep of his right foot with his left foot in mid-air, and his whole body abruptly rose a foot, dodging the funeral nails that were first shot at Lianjicheng, and then he was covered with Taoist robes. The obviously different sacrificial robes seemed to be inflated in an instant, and the whole person became thicker several times from the neck down.The falling speed of the whole body not only slowed down instantly, but also changed the trajectory, drifting directly towards the crowd outside the altar in a parabolic manner at an extremely fast speed.

Zhang Wumeng's series of responses, clever means, and even unreasonable inconceivability, are worthy of being a half-step innate powerhouse, but the fifteen assassins sent by the Huaxia Weifu this time are also the latest under Ye Chen and the assassination envoy Bai Canghai. There are 15 strong people. Any one of these 15 people is enough to start a faction, establish a sect, and build a gang. Although they have not reached the super-first-class state, they are truly top-notch masters.The most important thing is that their assassination experience and emergency response are far beyond comparison with ordinary first-class masters.

Almost at the moment Zhang Wumeng moved, the 16 people had already made the most correct reaction.Everyone changed directions immediately, and their attacks still blocked all directions around Zhang Wumeng, but in this way, the 16 people were far and near from Zhang Wumeng, and it was difficult to attack at the same time.

However, although Zhang Wumeng jumped up out of thin air and avoided most of the attacks from the direction, there were still five gold medal killers in the direction of his parabola very close. However, at the moment Zhang Wumeng raised his body and threw his body, he fell to the ground and kicked his feet. He accurately judged Zhang Wumeng's trajectory, soared into the sky again, and attacked Zhang Wumeng with all his strength.

And almost at the same time, Lian Jicheng, who caught up from behind and was only a little weaker than Zhang Wumeng in lightness skill, waved his right hand, and the second wave of hundreds of fine needles had already been thrown out, once again covering Zhang Wumeng's body up and down. Loomed from behind.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Wumeng had no way to change direction in mid-air for the second time, and could only resist the all-out blows of five gold-medal killers and Lian Jicheng's hundred fine needles.

Bang bang bang!

chi chi chi chi

A series of ringing sounded almost simultaneously, and finally there was a loud bang.

As the sacrificial robe on Zhang Wumeng suddenly exploded, turning into hundreds of pieces of rags as hard as iron stones and shooting them in all directions like hidden weapons, Zhang Xiong, Yue Zhengye and other five gold medal killers each spurted a mouthful of blood and fell down. fly out.But Zhang Wumeng's figure, which had lost weight several times, also staggered and fell to the ground. Although he landed steadily, his face was pale, and blood was spilled from the corner of his mouth.

However, at this time, Lian Jicheng had already chased up with five other gold medal killers and five sword slaves, and blocked all the directions Zhang Wumeng left. Can the human-sword fusion formed by the fusion of five sword slaves with the sword array still be able to continue.

"Yeluyi, you dare to kill the king!" Xiao Xiuming swept up in front of Empress Xiao like a whirlwind, and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, please help the emperor back to the palace, there are ministers here."

Empress Xiao escaped death and had no time to talk to him, so she hurriedly supported Ye Luxian with an eunuch on the left and right, and hurriedly retreated downstairs accompanied by several servants. Holding a knife in one hand across the steps, he shouted loudly like a thunderbolt: "Mice, aren't you afraid of exterminating the nine clans?"

Xiao Xiuming is tall and burly, and his martial arts skills have shocked the Khitan for many years. He is known as one of the few warriors in the Khitan. Everyone's heart trembled, and they stopped involuntarily.
