It happened in the blink of an eye!
There were more than ten crossbow arrows on each side, flying towards the two men's heads.
It turned out that the two of them had unknowingly walked into an alley that was only six feet wide and had few people.
At one end of the alley, there were a lot of people coming and going. Zhao Muyun would never have thought that someone would be so bold as to carry out an assassination here.
Arrows were flying towards him, and Zhao Muyun hurriedly pushed Huan Naxue aside to avoid the arrows.
Unexpectedly, Huan Naxue also immediately sensed the danger and took the initiative to block Zhao Muyun with her body.
Huan Naxue was fully armored, while Zhao Muyun was dressed in a casual long robe.
The arrow came too fast, and if Zhao Muyun was alone, he could easily roll to avoid it.
But Huan Naxue was tall and his target was obvious.
Zhao Muyun wanted to protect her.
However, in this way, both of them were thinking about each other and missed the best opportunity to dodge.
Yeah yeah yeah!
Huan Naxue used her body to block Zhao Muyun tightly.
Despite being clad in bronze armor and carrying a giant sword on his back, three arrows pierced through the armor and shot into Huan Naxue's back.
Huan Naxue endured the pain of the arrow wound on her face and protected Zhao Muyun as she rushed into an empty room beside the alley.
The bodies of the two men directly smashed the window frame of the empty room into pieces.
Zhao Muyun was pressed heavily to the ground by Huan Naxue and almost couldn't breathe.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Before Zhao Muyun could help Huan Naxue up, arrows came from outside the empty room like poisonous snakes.
Zhao Muyun kicked the eight-immortals table in the room and knocked it over.
The two-finger-thick solid wood table top serves as a good shield.
The two of them huddled behind the eight-immortals table.
Dododo!
Arrows rained down.
However, without exception, the semen was either shot on the table or on the open space next to the table.
In just a few breaths, the table was like a hedgehog, covered with dense arrows.
From the number of arrows fired in the past moment, Zhao Muyun preliminarily deduced that the enemy had at least twenty people, and they were all using the Dayin military's repeating crossbows.
This crossbow can fire dense arrows at close range and in a short period of time, covering the enemy with firepower.
If it weren't for this table, Zhao Muyun and Huan Naxue would have been hit by arrows.
The other party dared to carry out an assassination in Shuozhou City, which was already full of his men. This must have been after sufficient consideration and precise calculation.
Moreover, he started planning when he learned that Zhao Muyun was on his way from Yinzhou to Shuozhou to take up his post.
The person who planned it was well-informed and could accurately obtain Zhao Muyun's whereabouts.
Moreover, after they found out that Zhao Muyun was going to Bai Mansion, they immediately ambushed him on his way back and assassinated him.
The person we are targeting is definitely not simple.
However, Zhao Muyun didn't have the mind to guess who was going to attack him at this moment.
The primary consideration right now is how to get out of the current predicament.
After the other party had fired a barrage of crossbow arrows, they must have switched to close-combat weapons and rushed in to confirm whether Zhao Muyun was dead.
Once they come in, it will be Zhao Muyun's chance to turn the situation around.
“Yeah!”
Huan Naxue endured the pain caused by the arrow piercing his flesh and struggled to pull the giant sword from his back.
Since she volunteered to take on the task of protecting Zhao Muyun, she must escort Zhao Muyun to a safe area.
"Xue'er, don't move!"
Zhao Muyun hurriedly held her down, then cut off one section of the three arrows that were exposed.
Fortunately, the three arrows did not hit any vital parts.
"Brother Yun, I'm fine, let me protect you!" Huan Naxue stubbornly stood up and took the sword.
In the light, Zhao Muyun found that Huan Naxue's face was pale and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Needless to say, although the arrow did not hit any vital parts, it had penetrated deep into the flesh. How could it not be painful?
"You are injured, just hide here first!"
"You've done a great job just now. Now it's my turn to protect you!"
As Zhao Muyun spoke, his eyes gradually became colder.
Just now, someone assassinated him and injured Huan Naxue. These assassins and the mastermind behind them will only end up dead!
Zhao Muyun leaned Huan Naxue sideways in a corner behind the Eight Immortals Table, then slowly pulled out the triangular thorn from the side of his boot.
Although he already held a high position, Zhao Muyun did not bring guards or personal weapons with him when he went out this time, but he still kept his triangular spear with him.
"My lord, my lord!"
Just then, Li Si's loud shout came from the end of the alley.
Li Si and the other five guards who had been following Zhao Muyun not far away had obviously noticed something was wrong.
They shouted and drew their swords as they rushed in to kill.
Ping pong!
The sound of swords clashing and fighting arose.
The assassin sent a group of people to intercept Li Si and others.
They obviously knew that they had little time left to assassinate Zhao Muyun and escape unscathed.
As soon as Li Si discovered something unusual, he would rush in and go to the Duwei Mansion to report the need for support.
Swish!
More than a dozen men in black kicked open the wooden wall of the empty room with long swords in hand and rushed in.
Zhao Muyun and Huan Naxue both jumped into the empty room, and were then hit by another blast of arrows, which either killed them or crippled them.
The assassins rushed into the house to confirm whether Zhao Muyun was dead. If he was not dead, they could kill him in time.
More than ten people, holding swords, tiptoed slowly towards the solid wooden table in the empty room that was full of crossbow arrows.
Behind the solid wooden table, there was no movement.
Everyone looked at each other and stopped.
The gleam in the eyes of a leading assassin dimmed, he stretched out his hand, made a gesture, and then clenched his fist.
The five men in black immediately took a big step forward and stabbed at the gaps on both sides of the table with their swords raised.
From the coordination and command of their assassination, and the use of the Dayin military's standard repeating crossbow, it is not difficult to see that they are more professional than the assassin led by Zhang Biao that Zhao Muyun met at Tongfu Inn!
