"I want to ask, is this really the princess's palace?" Lin Cun said as he slowly moved towards the wall.
"Yes, this is the princess's residence. She's already asleep, but she doesn't care because her guards are managed and assigned by the palace." Li Wu threw two hemp ropes to Wang Xiaohai's Lin Cun, "You two use these two ropes to tie yourselves up, or I'll shoot an arrow. I'll only count to three!"
"one!"
Wang Xiaohai picked up the hemp rope on the ground and winked at Lin Cun. The two of them rushed towards Li Wu at the same time.
"Shoot!"
Li Wu shouted without hesitation upon seeing this.
Arrows flew towards Wang Xiaohai and Lin Cun like rain, with the aim of turning them into hedgehogs!
Wang Xiaohai swung the hemp rope, which was like a long snake. He turned his wrist again and knocked all the arrows flying towards him to the ground.
Lincun followed suit and shot down all the arrows flying towards him.
The hemp rope that Li Wu threw to him was tougher than ordinary ones. He originally wanted to tie them up more securely, but he didn't expect that after it became a weapon for the two of them, its power would be greatly increased.
"Catch Li Wu." Wang Xiaohai rolled up a few arrows and threw them behind him.
The arrow changed direction and shot directly into the shield and neck of the soldier blocking the road behind.
After receiving Wang Xiaohai's instructions, Lin Cun no longer hid his weakness. He kicked the wall, causing it to crack. Then he leaped towards Li Wu, the hemp rope in his hand like a whip, wrapping around him and moving away.
A series of "ding-dang-dang" sounds were heard, and the spears of several soldiers blocking Li Wu were knocked away and fell to the ground, hitting the soldiers' feet. The screams of pain instantly filled the night sky.
"These two assassins are quite fierce. You guys hold on, I'll go call for help!" Li Wu was a little panicked. He stepped back and planned to slip away.
Lincun stepped hard on the soldiers' shields, used the momentum to leap up a second time, and shot the hemp rope forward.
Li Wu heard the sound of a rope breaking through the air behind him, and hurriedly drew out his sword and chopped it with his backhand, cutting the hemp rope in one stroke. It seemed that the sharpness of his sword far exceeded the toughness of the hemp rope.
But the moment the hemp rope was cut, a huge force came and Li Wu's body paused for a second. But in just one second, Lin Cun had caught up with Li Wu, put his right hand on his shoulder and pulled him back.
"Come here." Lincun said.
Li Wuti used his left hand to hold down Lin Cun's hand on his shoulder, and twisted his body forward with the strength of his waist and shoulders. His strength was evenly matched with Lin Cun's!
"Are there any tips for close combat?" Lin Cun kicked him.
Li Wu grabbed Lin Cun's arm, jumped up, and wrapped his legs around Lin Cun's neck, trying to strangle him.
Lin Cun suddenly lost his balance and quickly stepped back, striking Li Wu's knee with his palm.
Li Wu let go of Lin Cun, kicked his foot back, and collided with Lin Cun's palm - then Lin Cun took a step back, and Li Wu turned in the air and stood on the ground.
"I underestimated you when I competed with you earlier. If we really fight, I won't lose much to you!" Li Wu said, "I am also the top martial arts champion and one of the strongest warriors in the Zhou Kingdom!"
"I didn't expect you to actually fight with me for a few moves. I'm going to be serious!" Lin Cun moved his neck, bent his body and rushed out, kicking in the air and using a high whip kick in the air to attack the opponent's head.
Lin Cun's strength was so great that Li Wu did not dare to take it head-on and could only retreat repeatedly.
The surrounding soldiers were afraid to shoot arrows, and only a few melee soldiers with spears rushed towards the two men and used their spears to interfere with Lin Cun.
Lin Cun's attacks became more and more fierce. It seemed that Li Wu was not a weakling either. He could defend against so many moves when he was serious!
"Bang!"
If you defend for too long, you will lose. Li Wu's left arm was kicked in the elbow, and his left hand instantly lost consciousness. He fell to one side, but when he touched the ground, he rolled to reduce the damage and force.
Lincun took two steps forward and stepped on Li Wu's back, pinning him to the ground. He shouted, "Tell all soldiers to stop, or I'll break your spine!"
"The martial arts champion has been caught!"
The soldiers on the roof stopped shooting arrows at Wang Xiaohai, not knowing what to do next.
"It's no use for me to shout, I'm not the leader of these guards!" Li Wu's voice came from the ground.
"How do you know it's useless if you don't shout?" Lin Cun said, Wang Xiaohai had already walked to his side from a distance.
A general wearing a golden helmet stood on the roof, holding a sword in his hand, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
"It's no use yelling, because I'm the one in charge here!" said the Golden Helmet General. "I'm the top martial arts scholar three years his senior. I originally wanted to recruit him to work under me, after all, we're of the same kind. But now that you assassins have captured him, he should consider himself a martyr for his country. Keep shooting!"
Li Wu's face suddenly turned pale.
Wang Xiaohai picked up Li Wu's knife, turned around and threw it towards the golden-helmeted general on the roof.
General Golden Helmet hastily held his sword across his chest.
"bite--"
Sparks flew, the knife and sword broke at the same time, and the golden helmet general was hit so hard that his body flew backwards involuntarily and fell off the roof.
"This young man is the leader!" All the arrows were aimed at Wang Xiaohai, and their leader was knocked down with one blow. This was something that ordinary people could not do, it was simply unheard of!
"Stop, everyone stop!" a woman's voice came.
All soldiers stopped at the same time.
"Princess Shu!" Li Wu said while lying on the ground, "It's dangerous here, don't go near!"
"Your life is almost in danger, yet you still pretend to be a lovesick man!" Lin Cun increased the strength of his feet, "You are really a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. You, a newly crowned top scholar, want to become a prince consort?" He paused, as if he was talking about himself. Wasn't he also a toad?
"I think these two are different from other assassins. They don't seem like bad people." Zhou Shuyi was followed by two black-clad guards. The strength of these two black-clad guards individually might be slightly inferior to that of the martial arts champion, but if they join forces, they can definitely knock the martial arts champion Li Wu to the ground.
"A bad person's identity won't be written on his face!" said Li Wu.
Lin Cun changed the direction of his feet and rubbed Li Wu against the ground vigorously, preventing him from speaking properly.
"So you're a bad guy too," Wang Xiaohai said to Li Wu, "because you can't prove that you're a good person, and besides, I never said I was a good person!"
"ah!"
Zhou Shuyi's face turned pale: "Are you a bad guy?"
"I didn't say I was a bad person," said Wang Xiaohai.
"You...you are teasing me!" Princess Shu looked annoyed.
"In your world, it's either black or white, isn't it?" Wang Xiaohai asked. "Have you ever heard of gray? Originally, there was no distinction between good and evil. It was only after humans came into being that they created distinctions for their own benefit."
"I don't understand," Princess Shu said. "Can you please let Li Wu go? He's almost being trampled to death."
"Lincun, let Li Wu go. These soldiers and archers don't pose much of a threat to us." Wang Xiaohai said.
A few dozen archers are indeed not much of a threat, but a hundred or so are about the same.
"Please come to the reception room, Li Wu, you come too." Princess Shu was still very courageous and dared to talk with Wang Xiaohai and Lin Cun.
Li Wu thought that Princess Shu was courting disaster, and he secretly decided in his heart that if Wang Xiaohai and the other man took action, he would stop them even if he died!
