Chapter 819: Jing Xiang's Death
The attack came suddenly and violently.
As they got closer and closer to the territory under Xu Fu's control, whether it was Jing Xiang or Shi Hong or Tao Blind, it was getting easier and easier, and they even went to get a carriage so that Jing Xiang could travel more comfortably.
Shi Hong had already sent a messenger to inform Xu Fu so that Xu Fu could send a force to meet Jing Xiang, in short, now they felt that they were almost out of danger. Calculating the time, there is still one hour at most, and Xu Fu's receiving troops will join them.
Everyone relaxed, and Jing Xiang in the carriage fell asleep in the thick bedding in the carriage because of the escape and exhaustion of these days.
And the reason why the accident is called an accident is because it always comes at a moment you don't imagine.
More than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out from the barren grass on both sides of the official road, with a clear target, and the first to hit the guards was the guards. The distance was too close, and they were caught off guard, and the seven or eight guards barely had a chance to react, and the sharp crossbow arrows broke through their bodies, taking away the vitality of their lives.
Tao Blind acted as a coachman to drive the car for Jing Xiang, and when the mutation protruded, he was not the first target, which made him frightened, but also immediately made the right response.
Drove the carriage and rushed forward frantically.
His reaction made him drive the carriage out of the attack on both sides of the road for the first time, and when he looked back in his hurry, he saw nearly twenty masked people emerging from the wild grass on both sides of the road.
Shi Hong's anti-main tip is not much worse than that of Tao Blind, the moment the crossbow arrow sounded, he had subconsciously overturned the whole person, hiding under the horse's belly, after hearing the wailing of the war horse, he decisively abandoned the horse, and rolled a few times to get rid of the consequences of being pressed by the war horse, and stood up, already drawing a knife in his hand, roaring and pounced on those masked men.
He couldn't escape.
He wanted to cover the blind man who fled in a carriage.
"Stop them!" Shi Hong, who was roaring, raised his knife to block the oncoming knife, kicked the opponent into a rolling gourd with a heartfelt kick in his chest, and then stood side by side with the only seven or eight remaining guards, blocking the official road to death.
The next moment, the two sides had already strangled together.
Three-to-one number of people.
After a moment of fighting, Shi Hong originally had a little confidence, but he was destroyed by his opponent bit by bit. These elite spies of the front division of the palace are all the first to fight alone, although there are only a few left, but at the beginning, Shi Hong still felt that there was a possibility of defeating the other party.
But the other party's skills were no worse than theirs, and soon, his helpers were cut to the ground one by one.
When did these people from the City Patrol Division run ahead of them and set up an ambush here? Shi Hong was puzzled. These people are definitely Chang'an people, because when they fight, the inadvertent shouts and echoes between each other are all pure Chang'an accents.
And the City Patrol Division itself has such a team of good players recruited from the rangers in Chang'an. Those people, Shi Hong had seen before.
Shi Hong stood desperately on the road to resist, he knew that he had no way to live today, and the only thing he could do was to earn a little more time for the blind Tao, so that he could escape farther.
Tao Blind Man has a lot of experience, and if he can get out of the sight of these people, he may be able to hold out until Xu Fu's team arrives.
The carriage was galloping on the official road, and the poor horse pulling the cart was desperately whipped forward by the blind Tao, and the corners of his mouth were already foaming at the mouth, and he couldn't hold on for long.
I don't have the heart to pity this colt, even if it is worth it to run it to death.
"Blind Tao, what's wrong?" In the carriage, Jing Xiang, who woke up, was knocked to pieces, grabbed the handrail with both hands, and asked loudly.
"Enemy attack, respect, you have grasped it steadily, and the people of the City Patrol Division have caught up." The blind Tao shouted loudly.
Forward, faster, faster.
At the corner of the official road ahead, a tall horse appeared leisurely, and immediately, a knight with a helmet and armor and a large sword on his shoulder stopped in the middle of the official road.
The blind man screamed and pulled the reins of the horse violently, and the horse neighed and tried to stop, but still slid forward for some distance.
The sweat on Tao's blind man's face fell drop by drop, with a sea of fire behind him and a mountain of knives in front. He turned his head and looked at both sides of the official road, and felt a chill in his heart, it was impossible, there were some abandoned ditches on both sides of the official road, and it was impossible for the carriage to pass.
There is only one way out.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the blind man shook the reins of the horse, and although the horse was a little reluctant, after being whipped heavily, he still ran forward, and almost at the same time, the knight on the opposite side also began to speed up.
The blind Tao quietly felt out the riding crossbow on his waist.
The two sides quickly approached, and the blind man suddenly raised his crossbow.
He felt that he had a big grasp, this kind of riding crossbow was extremely rare in the north, and the general crossbow could only shoot one at a time, but the crossbow in his hand that he had spent a lot of money to get could shoot three crossbow arrows in a row. As long as one team succeeds, you can escape.
The finger hooked the trigger hard.
It turned out to be inexplicably terrifying.
His opponent seemed to know his tactics well, and he sideways and slashed, easily letting all three crossbow arrows fired in a row fall into the air.
Seeing the cold light flickering with the big sword held high by his opponent, Tao Blind jumped up violently and fell from the galloping carriage to the ground, and after a few tumbles on the ground, the man had already reached the barren grass on the side of the official road. With the strength of his calf, he jerked his waist and ran away into the distance.
Respectfully, I'm sorry, I did my best. Now I can't save you, so I can only save my own life first.
The knight glanced at the direction of Tao Blind's escape with a little surprise, the weeds fell one after another, this guy's reaction and speed were all first-class, worthy of being a leader on the underworld. When you see something you can't do, you can make a decision immediately, without dragging your feet.
But he just glanced at it, and for him, it didn't matter if the blind Tao died, and it didn't matter if he fled.
The broadsword fell with the sound of the wind.
In the roar, the whole carriage shattered, Jing Xiang fell to the ground in embarrassment, and the crossbow horse, which was thus freed, twisted his waist, and actually got off the official road and ran into the wild grass.
Jing Xiang held a short blade in his hand, supported the ground with one hand, and wanted to stand up, but his body was in sharp pain to the bone, and he had just fallen from the galloping carriage, and he was not lightly injured.
After two struggles, he finally gave up and lay down on the official road, looking up at the approaching knight. Not to mention that now that he is injured, even if he is intact, how can he be the enemy of the samurai in front of him?
"Who are you?" Jing Xiang asked.
"Your Highness asked me to ask for respect." Immediately, the knight said with a smile.
"Fart!" Jing Xiang rarely burst into a foul mouth: "You are not from the City Patrol Division, who are you?" ”
"Why can't I be a City Patrolman?" Immediately knight said. "As far as I know, the people of the City Patrol Division have been tracking you, and Yang Honggui is only fifty miles away from you now."
"So you're from the north!" Jing Xiang finally figured it out. "Only you will want me to die, even if Zhu Youyu wants to catch me, he won't want to kill me."
"Respect is still respect after all, I figured out the truth so quickly!" Immediately, the knight's voice gradually became cold: "But to tell you the truth, I am indeed from Chang'an." And he is also a long-time guest of Chang'an. ”
He slowly took off the mask, and a hideous face appeared in front of Jing Xiang.
"High Elephant Rise!" Jing Xiang exclaimed.
"If you are a thief and a rebel, everyone will be punished." Gao Xiangsheng raised his big sword, "Jing Xiang, in the next life, be a good minister for the world!" ”
The cold light flickered, and Jing Xiang's head flew high.
What great cause, what famous history, at this moment, all came to naught.
Gao Xiangsheng raised his hand, grabbed Jing Xiang's head that fell from the sky, pulled a leather bag from behind the saddle, stuffed the bloody head into it, and then rode the horse forward slowly.
The battle on the official road was over, and the masked people were holding the wounded and carrying their dead companions on their backs.
"It's all set up?" Gao Xiangsheng asked.
"The scene is all arranged, that Shi Hong, according to your instructions, left a breath."
"There's nothing flawed, is there?"
"General Gao, aren't you worried about me? The last knife was pierced by me after he was powerless to resist, and it didn't matter in the slightest, no matter who it was, it would only be thought that this kid was dead. ”
"Let's go!" Gao Xiangsheng smiled, "There are still some clues left so that Xu Fu's people can chase them all the way, and finally chase them all the way to the name of the City Patrol Division." ”
The one on the other side glanced at the leather bag on Gao Xiangsheng's horse: "This gift was given to Yang Honggui, I don't know if he was frightened or happy?" ”
"I'm afraid it's more frightening." Gao Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Even if he doesn't pour the Yellow River, he can't wash away the basin of blood we poured on him this time." ”
A group of people, quickly disappeared from here.
About half an hour later, a war horse came from afar, turned over and dismounted beside Jing Xiang's headless corpse, and after examining it for a moment, it was obviously greatly frightened, and with a raised hand, a rocket shot up into the sky, exploding in the air with a screaming sound.
Immediately, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling from the brigade, led by a middle-aged general with a square face and thick eyebrows. This person was Xu Fu's son Xu Chong, who was ordered to lead a team to meet Jing Xiang.
"General, a corpse was found, but the head was gone!"
