Not only here, there were several groups of assassins lying in ambush around, and now they surrounded and attacked at the same time, scaring everyone to scream in fear.
"Be careful!" Huo Wuyou grabbed Xue Zhiyi's hand tightly with his backhand and moved sideways to protect him.
He said in a deep voice: "The wild geese are returning!"
Huo Wuyou also brought his own guards, led by Yan Gui, and they all drew their swords to fight back.
But these people had a clear goal and came towards Huo Wuyou and Jiang Xu without saying a word.
Huo Wuyou could handle it himself, but Jiang Xu was a completely weak scholar. If it weren't for Yan Gui blocking a few swords, his life would have been in danger.

Huo Wuyou became alert again and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that the people who came were all dressed as soldiers and were riding their horses hurriedly towards him.
They still did not dare to slack off and continued to fight with the assassins.
After all, those who have the courage to kill the imperial envoy are mostly government officials, and they cannot guarantee who these people are helping.
