With a "swoosh", the crossbow arrow flew out with the wind and hit the assassin's chest.
Tian An has been practicing archery for a long time. Although he can't hit the target every time, his hit rate is still very high, especially when the distance is so close.
The assassin was shot and fell back more than ten feet.
Deng Xue was also stunned when she saw the assassin flying out like that, and then she saw the short arrow stuck in his chest. After she realized what was happening, she quickly ran towards the guards not far away.
After being hit by an arrow, Tian An quickly retracted his body.
The assassin who was confronting Zhao Yiming over there didn't pay attention to this side. When he saw that another of their men had been killed, he thought that Deng Xue had killed him.
He felt that he had underestimated Deng Xue, and immediately sent two more people to attack Deng Xue. However, Zhao Yiming felt much more relaxed.
It was the first time Tian An had used a living person as a target, and she was still very scared. She had saved many lives with her hands, but this was her first time killing someone. As she pulled back, she felt her hands shaking violently, and her heart was almost beating out of her throat.
But as he listened to the increasingly intense fighting outside, he forced himself to calm down. Unable to control his shaking hands, he simply took out a silver needle from the space and injected himself with it.
The effect is immediate.
After taking a deep breath, Tian An picked up the crossbow and aimed again.
Still at Deng Xue's place, Deng Xue had already walked to the first guard, but before he could give him the antidote, he was entangled by two assassins.
Deng Xue had a hard time handling the situation alone and had no time to wake up the guards.
Tian An narrowed one eye and aimed at one of the assassins.
At this time, the assassin was facing away from Tian An, and his entire back was exposed.
Very good, big target.
For such a large target, Tian An didn't need to aim too much and could just shoot the arrow decisively.
Soon, the assassin fell down.
Deng Xue also took the opportunity to kill another assassin.
Then he quickly placed the medicine bottle under the guard's nose and let him smell it. Then he poured the medicine on his hand like Tian An had done just now and pinched his philtrum hard.
The guard woke up quickly, picked up his knife and went to help Zhao Yiming.
Deng Xue also hurried into the ruined temple to rescue others.
But Tian An was exposed when he shot that arrow just now.
She simply stood up and openly shot at the assassin with her crossbow.
But this time they were on guard, so it was difficult for Tian An to succeed.
However, although it is impossible to kill them with one arrow, it is still possible to hit the target without missing a single shot. It is no problem to shoot their arms or legs to cause trouble for them.
Soon, Tian An's striking style of hammering here and there successfully angered the assassin leader.
He rushed towards Tian An with a sword in hand, and Tian An shot two arrows, but he dodged both.
Fortunately, when he was about to rush in front of Tian An, he was kicked away by Zhao Yiming who came out from the side.
Without bothering to check on the assassin leader, Zhao Yiming quickly jumped onto the carriage to check on Tian An.
"An An, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
While talking, he kept turning Tian An over and over to check her, almost making her dizzy.
Seeing the opportunity, he grabbed Zhao Yiming's arm and stood still. "I'm fine, he didn't even touch me!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, but then he straightened his face and sternly reprimanded, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the carriage? Why are you out here? What if you get hurt?"
Tian An was not frightened by him at all. He smiled and pulled his sleeve and shook it, "Don't you still have me? How could I get hurt with you here?
Besides, you're worried about me, and I'm worried about you being out there alone!"
Since Deng Xue entered the dilapidated temple, the guards inside woke up one after another.
While the two were talking, the assassins were almost dealt with. They originally wanted to keep one to question, but they didn't expect that the man, seeing that the situation was hopeless, committed suicide by cutting his stomach, ending it all once and for all.
Such a heroic act of going to his death made Tian An couldn't help but praise him as a man.
Damn, this must hurt! It hurts just looking at her.
All the assassins were dealt with. The ten guards and Deng Xue all knelt in front of the carriage and said, "My subordinates have failed to protect us properly. Please punish me, Master."
Zhao Yiming pulled Tian An to the side of the carriage and looked down at them. "You decide how to punish them."
The leader, Jing Yu, said, "I have failed in my duty. I deserve to die as an apology."
Zhao Yiming snorted coldly, "Why, aren't you all so arrogant? You can't do your job well, so you can't even speak properly?"
Several people were startled and buried their heads in the snow, "Your subordinates deserve to die."
Rather than being the former princess's secret guards, they are more like the descendants of the secret guards.
It is a team carefully trained by the eldest princess's former secret guards. They have been trained for more than ten years and have learned all kinds of martial arts.
In the past, everyone thought they were great and arrogant, but they didn't expect to make such a big mistake on their first mission.
If the master hadn't been alert, they would have been wiped out long ago. But is there any need for the secret guards who need the master to protect them?
They really deserved to die, but even if they did die, they would still be unwilling to accept it...
Tian An saw that the scolding was almost over, so he pulled Zhao Yiming's sleeve, ready to give them a way out. He couldn't really let anyone die!
If someone really died, who would help them drive the carriage in this wilderness?
"The enemy drugged them, and they were caught in a moment of carelessness. We can't blame them. Let them make amends!"
After Tian An finished speaking, Zhao Yiming looked down at her, his mouth tightly shut and he said nothing.
Seeing this, Tian An reached out and pulled his sleeve, shaking it from side to side, his voice subconsciously becoming coquettish, "Is this okay? Brother Yiming?"
Hearing this voice, not only Zhao Yiming, but even the people kneeling on the ground couldn't help but look up.
Unfortunately, he hadn't even raised his head yet! He was so frightened by Zhao Yiming's voice that he wanted to bury himself in the snow.
Seeing that Zhao Yiming still refused to let go, Tian An loosened his sleeve and pulled him into the carriage. "It's so cold outside! Let's go in!"
The kneeling crowd only heard the carriage door open, and then nothing else...
What does this master mean? What should they do? Should they continue to kneel, or, should they really, commit suicide and apologize...
Amidst everyone's bewildered looks, Deng Xue stood up and got into the carriage amidst everyone's envious gazes.
Guards: "..." Can he get up with us? Can he?
Tian An was in the carriage and heard the sound of Deng Xue returning to the carriage, but after waiting for a long time, he heard no other movement.
Sighing, he could only helplessly shout outside, "Why haven't you left yet? Are you planning to stay here for lunch?"
When the people outside the carriage heard this, they all looked at the leader Jing Yu. "Well, the master didn't say anything. Miss Tian, no, the mistress's words are not counted?"
Jingyu raised his head to glance at the carriage, then cupped his fists and said loudly, "Thank you, Madam, for your forgiveness."
The others followed suit, then as Jingyu got up and mounted their horses, the team set off again.
