Chapter 278 Assassination
There was a moment of disappointment in Emperor Rongcheng's eyes.
"Investigate, investigate immediately. I want to see who has such means and intentions. Such talents should be used by me for my great glory."
Dexi nodded and immediately ordered people to investigate secretly.
And at this time on the road to Tiandu.
Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan were rushing day and night.
But despite this, they had just left Qi County.
It was already late at night.
Chen Hechuan and his companions were riding on a small path in the forest when suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.
Fortunately, Gu Jingchun had made some preparations in advance, and everyone put on straw raincoats and continued on their way.
However, Gu Jingchun looked at the woods on both sides and vaguely smelled danger.
Chen Hechuan also noticed something unusual.
He squinted his eyes, looked ahead, and couldn't help slowing down his pace.
It's too dark.
Because of the heavy rain, we couldn't light the lamp and the front was completely plunged into darkness.
Unknown dangers force people to stop.
Chen Hechuan sat high on the horse and looked at Ye Wenxi. They both saw a hint of vigilance in each other's eyes.
And just at this moment.
Amid the sound of the pouring rain, a slight sound suddenly rang out.
It looked like someone had stepped on a branch and broken it.
“Swish——”
Shen Hechuan drew his sword immediately.
“Zheng——”
The sound of weapons clashing was harsh and could be heard clearly even amidst the torrential rain.
Almost instantly, all the guards were fighting with the enemy while protecting the carriage.
The battle instantly became intense.
The attackers were numerous and all of them were very skilled.
It was dark and rainy, and Chen Hechuan and others had a hard time dealing with it.
Inside the carriage, Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi nervously peeked at everything outside through the cracks in the window.
Gu Jinxi: "Mom, should I go and help?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head: "It's too dark. If you go out, not only will you not be able to help, but you will cause more trouble."
Gu Jinxi's face fell slightly when he heard this: "What should I do? I think Daddy and Uncle Wenxi seem to be having a hard time."
"Oh," he sighed, "Why is it raining again? I can't use the 'big firecrackers' I specially prepared."
Gu Jingchun raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What else did you bring?"
Gu Jinxi immediately poured out all kinds of strange objects from the small bag.
Gu Jingchun's mouth twitched slightly, and he picked out a few hidden weapons and handed them to him: "Take them, and use them if someone rushes in."
As soon as Gu Jinxi nodded, a man in black suddenly rushed in!
Gu Jinxi raised his leg and kicked him, sending him flying!
The man in black flew out and knocked down another man, and both of them fell heavily to the ground.
The movement immediately attracted the attention of other men in black, and they all approached the carriage.
Seeing everyone rushing over, Gu Jinxi decisively pressed the hidden weapon!
In an instant, countless silver needles shot out and instantly pierced into the bodies of the men in black!
Chen Hechuan and Ye Wenxi were prepared and avoided it in time and were not affected.
However, those men in black were not so lucky and fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun sighed twice: "The heat is still not enough. The number of silver needles and the speed are not enough."
Gu Jinxi pouted, looking dissatisfied: "Mother..."
Gu Jingchun then chuckled: "Okay, mother knows, Xier is already great, super great."
Gu Jinxi was finally satisfied, and a silly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he handed a round hidden weapon to Gu Jinxi.
"Why not try out the power of this?"
Gu Jinxi took it, sat by the open carriage door, and looked outside with her innocent big eyes blinking.
The men in black came one after another, obviously wanting to wipe them all out here.
Chen Hechuan and Ye Wenxi knew Gu Jinxi's methods very well. While resisting the enemy, they moved closer to the carriage without leaving any trace, but also kept a distance to avoid accidental injuries.
The men in black rushed forward again, as if they were seeking their own death.
Sure enough, the moment it approached Gu Jinxi, a black ball was thrown out!
One of the men in black immediately swung his knife.
With a "bang", the sphere cracked, bursting out with powerful force and shooting out dense flying needles!
Another group of men in black fell down.
However, at the moment when this group of people fell, several men in black rushed out like ghosts and rushed straight towards Gu Jinxi!
The speed was so fast that Gu Jinxi had no time to dodge.
Chen Hechuan and Ye Wenxi had subconsciously retreated to avoid the hidden weapons, and were too late to rescue them! Lan Xin and Xiao Man, who were fighting hard in the distance, flew over to rescue them, but they were too far away!
"Xi'er——"
"Young Master——"
"Jinxi——"
Exclamations were heard everywhere!
At the critical moment, Gu Jingchun raised his hand and pulled the arrow mechanism in his sleeve!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Three sleeve arrows are as fast as meteors!
The man in black barely dodged the first arrow, but could not avoid the second and third arrows that followed, and was immediately shot and fell to the ground!
Gu Jingchun fired arrows from his sleeve, and one, two, three... the men in black fell down one after another.
After hesitating for a moment, he dared not approach the carriage easily.
They clearly realized that the people in the carriage were of great importance.
Suddenly, a dark shadow swooped down from the tree, and several iron claws tied with iron chains "snatched" and nailed into the carriage!
Upon hearing the voice, Gu Jingchun immediately took Gu Jinxi into his arms!
Chen Hechuan, Lan Xin and Xiaoman flew up quickly and cut off the man in black who was controlling the chains!
However, Ye Wenxi's martial arts skills were not very high, and he only knew some simple punches and kicks.
Before, he relied entirely on hidden weapons for support, but now all the hidden weapons are exhausted and he can hardly protect himself.
It was impossible to cut one of the chains.
The others were all caught up in a tough battle and it was too late.
Chen Hechuan and the others watched helplessly as the man in black pulled the chain.
"Crash!" A loud noise!
The side wall of the carriage was pulled off by the iron chain!
The figure of Gu Jingchun hugging Gu Jinxi tightly was suddenly exposed to everyone!
Chen Hechuan's eyes were bloodshot and his attack suddenly became fierce!
But the enemies kept coming in endlessly, and after a long battle, everyone was already showing signs of fatigue and was not suitable for a long battle at all.
Chen Hechuan made a prompt decision and stopped fighting!
He jumped on his horse, killed several people in a row, pulled Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi onto the horse, and shouted loudly: "Go!"
Everyone got on their horses and galloped away!
It was raining heavily, and the cold raindrops hit Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.
Chen Hechuan was afraid that they would catch a cold, so he took off his straw raincoat while riding his horse and put it on Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun also knew his physical condition and did not act pretentiously. He immediately put on his straw raincoat, wrapped Gu Jinxi tightly in it, and hugged her tightly.
The enemy had obviously made arrangements in advance and was not going to let them escape easily.
I saw that the road ahead was blocked by a fallen tree, and the horses could not pass at all!
Chen Hechuan had no choice but to turn his horse around and rush into the dense forest!
The men in black pursued relentlessly and gradually formed a siege.
Gu Jingchun and his mother were protected in the center of the crowd. Seeing that the guards were once again caught in a melee, they could not help but clench the sleeve arrows in their hands.
The same goes for Gu Jinxi.
However, they had already used up most of their hidden weapons, and now there were only a few left.
Moreover, in order not to hurt their own people, many densely packed hidden weapons cannot be used at all.
This leaves them with no choice but to use hidden arrows.
Gu Jingchun shot the last hidden arrow.
However, he was unaware that a cold light was quietly approaching from behind him.
