Chapter 169: Assassinated Again
Chapter 169: Assassinated Again
Xiao Guoer, realizing this, broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale. After the horse was injured, it was out of control!
The driver didn't know whether he was hit by an arrow or he jumped off the carriage because he couldn't control the horse. Now she was the only one in the carriage.
The horse was running forward like crazy, she couldn't jump out of the carriage, she would fall to her death at such a high speed! But if she didn't jump, if the carriage hit a tree or something else, she would be thrown out and then fall to her death.
How to do?
In a panic, she looked out through a corner of the car curtain that was lifted up by the bumpy ride, and saw a large number of people in black suddenly jumping out from the rugged mountains outside.
They held sharp swords that gleamed with cold light, and their figures were erratic. They rushed towards this side quickly like ghosts seeking revenge.
In the blink of an eye, these men in black were fighting with the guards.
While she was frightened, she was carried forward by the carriage at a rapid speed, gradually moving away from the group of guards.
She clung to the wall of the carriage with her fingers, barely able to steady her body which was swaying violently under the violent shaking.
She moved forward inch by inch and finally sat near the outside of the carriage.
But she saw the shadows of the trees retreating rapidly, and the fear in her heart made it impossible for her to move forward even an inch, let alone muster up the courage to close her eyes and jump off the carriage.
After all, she really didn't want to be smashed into a meat pie!
When Zhao Yunrong sensed the murderous intent, he realized that something was wrong. His brain was working at high speed, thinking about how to deal with it.
The terrain here is steep. If someone is really ambushing here, it will be disadvantageous to him.
But ever since he was assassinated last time, my father has suspected that man. How dare that man do it again?
Besides, we are still in Huaiyang, so the guards should go back immediately to get reinforcements, who will arrive soon.
How could that person act so rashly?
But soon, his doubts were resolved.
When he swung his sword to cut down all the arrows shot at him, he saw black-clothed men, who were twice as many as his guards, leaping from the mountain!
Oh, what a big move! Are all the death warriors in the Zunqin Palace being sent out?
Don’t you want him to return to the capital alive with his achievements?
Humph, that's not easy!
There was a bloodthirsty light in Zhao Yunrong's eyes. Just as he was about to swing the sword in his hand to fight the enemy, he suddenly heard the horse in the carriage he was riding raise its hooves high, let out a sharp neigh, and then gallop forward desperately.
There is another person inside!
Zhao Yunrong was about to squeeze his horse's belly and move forward to stop the assassin, but was stopped by the assassin who suddenly rushed to his side.
He was extremely anxious and had to act quickly and use all his strength to kill the assassin.
However, it was this slight delay that allowed him to see that his carriage had already galloped forward, leaving a considerable distance behind him.
After Zhao Yunrong once again stabbed the long sword in his hand into the body of an assassin who was chasing him, he swung the horsewhip with all his strength without hesitation.
The fine horse under him seemed to sense his master's eagerness, and it ran forward with all its might, leaving behind the assassin who was chasing after it in the blink of an eye.
Shen Jing looked at the assassin who was following the Eighth Prince like a leech, and he was eager to get rid of the assassin and rush to the Eighth Prince as soon as possible to protect him.
Zhao Yunrong finally summoned up his inner strength, leaped off the horse's back, and landed on top of the carriage.
Then, on the roof of the carriage, with his wide field of vision, he saw a scene that horrified him to the point of leaving his body.
There is a cliff ahead!
In just a moment, he gave up the idea of jumping off the carriage to escape alone, and instead jumped onto the shaft of the carriage.
He swiftly reached out and grabbed Xiao Guoer who was lying on the edge of the carriage, flexibly put his hand around his shoulders, picked him up, and flew to the side at an extremely fast speed.
Xiao Guo'er tightly grasped the collar of the person next to her, staring with wide eyes at the luxurious carriage in horror as the horses neighed again and flew out of the ground, falling straight down the cliff.
She was trembling with fear, and her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand.
But before she could open her mouth to thank him, the next moment, two assassins in black were already in front of her.
Zhao Yunrong held Xiao Guoer in one hand and struggled to deal with the fierce attacks of the two assassins with the other hand. He was simply unable to resist.
Soon, he could only retreat step by step.
They were pushed towards the cliff little by little.
Xiao Guoer looked back tremblingly at the bottomless cliff behind her, and her fingers unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter, as if what she was holding in her hands was not a lapel, but the last straw of life.
They were almost at a dead end, with no way to retreat. Xiao Guoer was filled with fear and anxiety.
She was afraid that the Eighth Prince would push her out or abandon her at the critical moment.
After all, as a noble prince, how could he sacrifice his life to protect an insignificant person like her?
Sure enough, the next second, the arm that was holding her and protecting her suddenly left.
The collar of her clothes, which she tried so hard to grasp, slipped away from her fingers.
Zhao Yunrong was about to be forced into a corner by these two men, so he had no choice but to make a desperate attempt.
He roared, took a big step forward resolutely despite the danger, and the sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning, hitting the enemy in front of him directly in the abdomen.
However, at the same time, because he opened his arms to protect Xiao Guoer, another assassin took the opportunity to quickly cut his left arm. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and blood gushed out instantly.
A piercing pain came over him, but he had no time to care about the wound on his left arm. After pulling out the long sword that pierced the enemy's abdomen, he immediately swung the sword at another person.
Xiao Guo'er looked at the scene with a pale face, standing there in a daze, as if he had been stunned by the shock of the scene.
Zhao Yunrong fought with another assassin and gradually gained the upper hand.
Just when he was about to deal with the assassin, he suddenly heard a sharp and frightened voice, "Be careful!"
With a glance, he saw that the assassin who had just been stabbed in the abdomen by him stood up from the ground tremblingly, sword in hand, and stabbed at him with stiff but firm movements.
Haha, it seems that these assassins received a death order. Even if he has one breath left, they must put him to death!
