Bai Yuan's face turned cold, and he immediately rushed to the prison car and summoned the Peach Blossom Sword.

As soon as the sword was swung out, the red sword energy was like a sky curtain, carrying countless petals, forming a sea of ​​flowers, directly covering the land with a radius of 100 meters.

In the carriage, Jing Ke, who was sleeping soundly, was also keenly aware of a murderous aura and suddenly woke up.

After following the Mo family for many years, he traveled all over the world and encountered many dangers. Not only did Jing Ke's martial arts improve, but his ability to perceive danger also greatly improved.

Jing Ke opened the curtain and took a look, and immediately realized what had happened. He quickly woke up Kuang Xiu, who was still sleeping, and walked out of the carriage together, running to Bai Yuan.

"What's happening here?"

"Obviously, someone didn't want the two of them to live, so they wanted to kill them and silence them."

Bai Yuan glanced at Cheng Yu and Fan Yuqi in the prison car and smiled coldly.

After hearing this, Cheng Yu just spat, his expression indifferent, and he didn't care at all whether these people were here to kill him.

If he could die like this, it would be a relief for him. He could not escape death for the crime of rebellion. It was better to die now than to suffer torture in Xianyang and then die.

Fan Yuqi's expression changed slightly.

He was a chess piece that was pushed out, but he didn't expect that he would be regarded as a thorn in the side of the people behind the scenes.

It can be said that he has no escape route now and has become an abandoned son.

Although he had long thought that such a day would come, Fan Yuqi still couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Bai Yuan took in Fan Yuqi's expression.

This guy might be able to help him catch a big fish.

The arrows continued to fall on Bai Yuan's sword energy flower sea, making clanging sounds. Bai Yuan continuously waved his sword to block all the flying arrows, unable to pose an effective threat to them at all. .

Beside Bai Yuan, the soldiers of the Qin State also gathered. The people standing in the front were holding halberds, and the people in the rear were holding a hand crossbow, looking like they were ready.

At the same time, they were also a little scared. If Bai Yuan hadn't taken action just now to stop the rain of arrows from the sky, few of them would have been intact.

It can be said that they already owe Bai Yuan his life.

The killers hiding in the woods then fired three more waves of arrows, but they were all blocked by Bai Yuan's sword energy.

Bai Yuan's face became colder and colder as a result, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

"Such a dense rain of arrows, what a generous act!"

It can be seen that these arrows are the standard arrows of the Qin State and are not accessible to ordinary people.

The other party not only wanted to assassinate Cheng Yu and Fan Yuqi, but also probably didn't want to let anyone else go.

Otherwise such power would not have been used.

It's a pity that these people, or those who sent them, probably didn't expect that Bai Yuan's strength was so weak that he could block such a dense rain of arrows with one person.

Not to mention that they didn't expect it, even Jing Ke and the others looked like they had seen a ghost.

"This... I'm afraid even a six-fingered giant may not be able to block so many arrows!"

The best swordsmanship in the world is the swordsmanship of the Mohist family, and the six-fingered black man is the person with the highest attainments in the swordsmanship of the Mohist family.

But even so, Jing Ke didn't dare to say that the six-fingered black man could block such a terrifying rain of arrows and protect them.

Bai Yuan did it. Under such a dense arrow attack, no one was even injured.

Jing Ke became more and more fascinated by this kind of swordsmanship.

He was also a swordsman, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel enlightened.

This sword is beautiful and very strong at the same time!

The arrows of those hiding in the dark are always limited. After several rounds of shooting, they have used up their arrows and have not assassinated the target. There are only two ways in front of these people.

One is to retreat when faced with difficulties; the other is to desperately assassinate and give it a go.

And this group of people obviously chose the latter.

A group of masked killers dressed in black rushed out of the woods. They threw away their useless long bows and crossbows, and held long swords in their hands. They vaguely surrounded Bai Yuan and the others.

These killers rushed up like a tide, their eyes extremely fierce, and they were not afraid of death.

Just as Bai Yuan was about to take action, he heard the centurion say:

"Master Bai Yuan, leave the next thing to us. Escorting the prisoners is our task. It is our duty to deal with these people!"

When Bai Yuan heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but after seeing the determined look in the eyes of these soldiers, he finally nodded.

These men were true warriors and had no need of his mercy and protection.

To them, Bai Yuan's one strike was a life-saving grace, but it would be an insult to their status to keep taking action.

As Wang Jian's personal soldiers, they also have dignity and do not need to live under the protection of others.

Bai Yuan only needs to sit in the rear and be responsible for taking care of the situation to prevent unexpected situations.

When the centurion saw Bai Yuan agreeing, he grinned, then put on his mask and raised his sword.

"Brothers, line up to meet the enemy! Let these ignorant killers see how powerful we are!"

"Wind! Strong wind!"

Following the centurion's order, the team of only a hundred people suddenly exploded into the momentum of thousands of people.

The soldiers in the front hold shields and halberds and are responsible for blocking the killers, while the soldiers in the rear hold powerful crossbows and shoot from a distance. The two sides cooperate closely.

This time, the most powerful weapon in this era besides the machine beast finally exerted its true power.

Under the orderly command of the centurion, only a few dozen crossbowmen also produced the same very dense rain of arrows, and they were more orderly and denser than the attack of this group of killers. Waves of arrows followed one after another. One wave, no gaps at all.

But these killers don't have the same strength as Bai Yuan. Most of them can only dodge when faced with arrows, and they don't have the strength to fight hard.

If you fail to catch it, you will be injured or even killed directly.

In this case, before both parties had close contact, many people on the killer's side had already fallen.

But these people really regarded death as home. They seemed not to be afraid of death at all, and they kept coming one after another.

"Dead warrior!"

Bai Yuan could tell at a glance that the eyes of these people were dull and completely different from normal people.

They are trained killing machines, dead soldiers who can be abandoned at any time. Life and death have long been ignored by them.

"It's really cruel. Even if the assassination fails, I'm afraid none of these killers will come back alive. From the moment they launched the attack, they never thought about surviving."

Jing Ke and Kuang Xiu were stunned for a moment after hearing Bai Yuan's words, and then they both looked a little unkind.

Bai Yuan warned Jing and Ke.

"When I arrive in Xianyang tomorrow, after I meet King Qin, you should immediately contact the Six-Fingered Black Man and leave Xianyang as soon as possible."

Jing Ke nodded seriously.

"I understand."

This incident obviously involved some big shot. He and Kuang Xiu were accidentally involved. For safety reasons, it was better to escape first.

Of course, sneaking away is not that easy, so Bai Yuan specifically mentioned the Six-Fingered Black Man.

With the support of the Mo family, they can ensure their safety in leaving Qin.

While they were talking, these killers finally came face to face with the Qin soldiers.

Bai Yuan stood next to the prison car, keeping an eye on the situation on the field and controlling the overall situation.

But at this time, several more piercing sounds came from the air.

Under the cover of their companions, several killers broke through to a place not far from the prison van, and then began to fire hidden arrows.

They also concealed a pocket hand crossbow under their sleeves.

Bai Yuan snorted coldly, flicked his right hand lightly, and a wave of internal force spread out in the air like water waves, blocking all these hidden weapons.

The level of these killers is very average, and there are no masters, so being able to release hidden arrows is already their limit.

The battle lasted until late into the night.

Apart from resisting some hidden weapons, Bai Yuan did not intervene in the whole battle.

The final result was of course that all the killers were wiped out, but the personal guards sent by Wang Jian also lost nearly one-third of their men, and the rest were all injured.

Even the centurion had six sword wounds all over his body, with bones visible.

Bai Yuan was touched in his heart when he saw this scene.

It is said that the soldiers of Great Qin are like tigers and wolves, but they also have a lot of brilliance and are not all evil.

Bai Yuan took out some elixirs for stopping bleeding and healing wounds and gave them to the people who were still alive. Then he helped collect the corpses, burned them where they should be burned, buried them where they needed to be buried, and erected monuments where they needed to be.

Even if it was just a tomb and a monument without any words, at least the corpses of their comrades were not exposed in the wilderness.

After doing all this, it was almost daybreak.

After taking a rest, everyone calmed down and continued towards Xianyang.

After walking for another day, they successfully arrived in Xianyang just as the sun was setting. Ying Zheng learned the news in advance and led hundreds of civil and military officials to go out of the city for twenty miles to greet them.

When he met Bai Yuan and others, Ying Zheng realized what happened immediately and did not get angry.

"It seems that your journey has not been smooth sailing."

Bai Yuan recalled what happened last night and nodded.

"We were attacked by dead soldiers last night. It was these people who fought desperately that no accident happened."

Bai Yuan deliberately omitted his role and asked for credit for these soldiers in front of Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng immediately realized what Bai Yuan meant and nodded to the soldiers.

Regardless of whether Bai Yuan is exaggerating or not, these people have indeed made meritorious deeds and should be rewarded!

But what Ying Zheng is most concerned about now is Cheng Yu and Fan Yuqi.

He walked to the prison car surrounded by cultural relic officials.

"Cheng Xi, I think I treat you well, why do you want to rebel?"

Cheng Xi looked at Ying Zheng, his eyes a little moist.

To this day, he actually doesn't know why he did such a stupid thing, making one wrong step and one wrong step after another.

"Needless to say, the crime of rebellion is punishable by death. I am willing to bear it with all my strength. If you really feel that you have treated me badly, then don't involve other people."

"Then why didn't you think about involving other people when you rebelled? Don't you think it's too late to tell me this now?"

Ying Zheng didn't get the answer he wanted and became furious.

Maybe he didn't even count how many people Cheng Yu had implicated this time.

Basically all the Korean officials above the Qin Dynasty were implicated. Even Han Fei, who had just arrived in Xianyang not long ago, was temporarily sitting at home because of this.

In addition, Mrs. Han and Queen Mother Xia were also implicated.

The Queen Mother Xia even fell ill because of this.

This was all caused by Cheng Xi's foolish behavior.

One can imagine how angry Ying Zheng was.

Cheng Xi didn't say anything, and lowered his head as if he was resigned to his fate.

He knew that since the beginning of his rebellion, his relationship with Ying Zheng had completely broken down.

Ying Zheng didn't want to say anything when he saw this. He looked at Fan Yuqi again, as if he was looking at a dead person.

With Cheng Yu, Ying Zheng could still say a few words and ask him about the reason for his rebellion.

But Fan Yuqi was a little-known young general, and Ying Zheng didn't even have the intention of communicating with him.

Naturally, someone would do the work of interrogating Fan Yuqi, and he would not interrogate him personally.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and guards immediately took over the prison van and took them into the prison.

Then, Ying Zheng led Bai Yuan back to the palace, and held a banquet in the palace to entertain Bai Yuan, which was regarded as a welcome blessing for Bai Yuan.

Jing Ke and Kuang Xiu were separated as soon as they entered the city. Ying Zheng also gave Bai Yuan face, and they were pardoned.

Of course, from beginning to end, Ying Zheng didn't care about the life or death of a little musician like Kuang Xiu.

Bai Yuan has made such a great contribution this time, so it’s fine for him to be let go as just a musician.
