Chapter 604: Assassins Disguised as Bandits
"Are you scared?"
Di Ran hugged Ji Yunxie and comforted the frightened little fox.
"Not afraid."
Ji Yunxie hugged Di Ran's waist. Although he was a little panicked at first, when he saw A Yue, his panicked heart calmed down.
Di Ran's lips curled slightly.
Suddenly, the gentle eyes turned cold, and in the blink of an eye, a sharp arrow was pinched between his fingers.
The arrow came in from the window, and if she hadn't acted in time, it would have hit Axie.
When he thought about Ah Xie getting hurt, Di Ran’s cold expression became even colder, and a hint of hostility flashed across his eyes.
Suddenly, Di Ran's heart tightened, and he hugged Ji Yunxie's waist and jumped out of the car through the roof.
Looking down, they saw that the carriage beneath them was already filled with sharp arrows, which showed that the person who shot the arrows had no intention of keeping them alive.
The scene was chaotic, and the assassins could no longer tell who was whose.
why?
Because two more groups of assassins appeared at the scene, one after the other, and judging from their clothes, it was obvious that they were not accomplices.
A group of assassins dressed up as bandits. Together with the later alliance, their number was twice as large. They were all well-trained and obviously not ordinary bandits.
Another group of assassins were dressed in black and masked. Their swords were deadly and half of the guards had been killed.
Di Ran discovered that these black-clad assassins seemed to be coming for her, no, it should be said that they were coming for Axie!
This discovery made her face darken instantly.
"Mo Yan, Qing Yi, protect Ah Xie."
"Yes!"
Don't be fooled by Qingyi's superb medical skills and weak personality, he is very good at using poison and his fighting skills are also very strong.
Not to mention Mo Yan, the number one female housekeeper beside Di Ran, who is an expert in whipping people to perfection. She can whip people until their skin is torn and flesh is exposed. What's more, that whip is not an ordinary whip, so one whip will definitely be painful.
Ji Yunxie was protected so tightly that he didn't even have the chance to try or take action, which made him very depressed.
But seeing how nervous A Yue was and how caring he was, he felt sweet in his heart.
He couldn't see clearly. Those men in black seemed to be coming for him, but he didn't understand who would want to kill him?
Could it be Ming Cejun?
After all, he had only been at odds with Mingxuan recently, and Ah Yue only favored him, so it was possible that the man was jealous and hired someone to kill. If it was really him, Ji Yunxie had a deeper understanding of Mingxuan's viciousness.
—
On the other side of the dense forest, a group of four people were riding horses on a trail.
Leading the group were a man and a woman. The woman was dressed in brocade clothes and had a tasseled crown on her head. She had a pretty face, with a dashing and heroic look between her eyebrows. She held a folding fan in her hand, looking elegant and graceful, like a cynical young lady.
The man was dressed in white and looked handsome, with gentle eyes and wisdom, and he was elegant and easy-going, like a young master from a wealthy family.
The two seemed to hear some noise ahead, like the sound of swords clashing, and looked at each other.
"call out!"
“Swish! —”
The assassins seemed to be at a disadvantage, so they ordered their men to shoot arrows.
Most of the troops in the team were from the imperial court, a small half were subordinates of Prince Rui, and Di Ran only brought a few of his trusted men.
Although the assassins were numerous, they were no match for the experts around King Rui and King Beichen, and they soon fell into a disadvantage.
At this moment, four people dropped from the sky and joined the battle, making the favorable situation even more one-sided, and soon the assassins were defeated.
"retreat!"
"retreat!--"
"Leave alive!"
Ji Huashang gave an order.
Soon, the assassins were caught, but they committed suicide by taking poison after being caught, leaving no chance for rescue.
An Er: "Your Majesty, they all took poison and died."
Ji Huashang's face darkened when he heard this.
An Yi: "Your Majesty, I think these people are not robbers, but assassins."
Dead soldier?
Ji Huashang's face changed slightly, and there was frost in his eyes. His gaze fell on the corpses. It was unknown what he was thinking of, and his eyes were dark and unclear.
