Chapter 490: Running all the way with Liu'er
The lit house was burning with a raging fire, billowing smoke and a thick column of smoke swirling and stirring in the air, and even if people in the distance could not see the burning fire, if they looked up slightly, they would surely find this thick column of smoke.
As the fire burned more and more, the assassins who were fighting with Liu Wei and Liu Er gradually became impetuous.
At present, where they are located is the city under the control of the three guards of the Luoyang Army. Although it is an abandoned street nearby, and there are very few dragoon guards patrolling here, the fire and smoke will still attract the Luoyang army patrolling nearby.
The assassins who besieged Liu Wei and Liu Er almost all rushed to the front of them. The long sword in Liu Er's hand flew over, but the severe pain caused by the new wound on her shoulder blade and the old wound left when she competed with Deng Zhan made her swing the long sword much slower.
Fortunately, Liu Er's swordsmanship is exquisite, and although she swings the sword slower than usual, every time she swings the sword, there will still be an assassin whose body is splashed with blood and falls at her feet.
The pain made Liu Er's forehead covered with cold sweat, her apricot eyes squinted slightly, and a black-red blood stain appeared on the shoulder blade that had been pierced by the arrow.
Almost all the assassins flocked to Liu'er, and the pressure on Liu Wei's side suddenly decreased.
Just as Liu Wei had just slashed over one of the assassins who was rushing towards him and turned his head to rush towards the other, he suddenly saw a black shadow rushing towards Liu'er, who was surrounded by a group of assassins.
"Be careful!" Seeing the black shadow pounce on Liu'er, Liu Wei hurriedly shouted, flipped the long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Liu'er's side.
He knew very well that he and Liu'er were surrounded by the Assassins at the moment, and the reason why the Assassins had not launched a fierce attack on him was precisely because of Liu'er's containment.
Once Liu Er is knocked down, I'm afraid he and Liu Er will be dead tonight!
"Liu'er, I'm sorry!" The black shadow jumped in front of Liu Er, and with a cold shout that almost did not contain the slightest emotion, a silver light stabbed straight towards Liu Er's throat.
The silver light pierced her throat, and Liu Er hurriedly turned her head sideways to dodge. It's a pity that she has injuries on her body, and her movements are much slower than usual after all.
The moment she turned her head away from the blade, the sword-wielder swerved the blade away, and the long sword slashed against her arm.
The blade of the sword slashed across Liu Er's arm, and with a soft sound of "snort", Liu Er snorted, and a stream of blood shot out from his arm, and he staggered back two steps subconsciously.
His arm was injured, and Liu Er frowned tightly, glaring angrily at Wang Xun, who was attacking him with a sword.
Holding the long sword in one hand, Wang Xun frowned, and when he stared at Liu Er, his eyes narrowed slightly, and from his slightly narrowed eyes, a touch of ruthless murder flashed in an instant.
"Let's go!" Just when Liu Er and Wang Wei looked at each other, Liu Wei, who rushed to Liu Er's side, shouted, stretched out his arm and hugged Liu Er's slender waist, picked her up, and jumped towards several assassins on the side.
The assassins were holding long swords and were nervously staring at Liu Er, who was confronting Wang Xun, Liu Wei suddenly clamped Liu Er under his armpit and rushed towards them, making them stunned for a moment, but they didn't immediately react and stepped forward to intercept them.
Before the assassins could come to their senses, Liu Wei had already passed between them with Liu Er in his arms, and rushed to the nearest street.
"Chase!" As soon as Liu Wei grabbed Liu Er and jumped past several stunned assassins, there was a sound from behind him.
The fire had already burned, and the nearby Luoyang army was probably alarmed, so Wang Wei didn't deliberately lower his voice.
He shouted, and the assassins on the side were stunned for a moment, recovered from their astonishment, and turned around and chased after Liu Wei, who had escaped more than ten steps.
Holding Liu Er, Liu Wei ran all the way, and the fight with the assassin just now consumed a lot of his physical strength, and he had already been hit by a sword on his shoulder blade.
However, the sword was not heavy, but it was scratched some skin, and it was hot and painful. Fortunately, although Liu Er is very tall, her weight is very light. Sandwiching her under her armpits, Liu Wei didn't feel particularly heavy.
Wang Wei and a group of assassins chased after him, Liu Wei did not dare to slow down his pace, and with Liu Er under his arm, he galloped all the way, and soon jumped onto the nearest street.
As soon as he rushed onto the street, Liu Wei saw more than a dozen people with torches rushing over at the end of the street.
Liu Er, who was caught under his armpit, raised his head strongly, looked at the more than ten torches that appeared at the end of the street, and said to Liu Wei with a heavy breath: "Maybe it's His Highness's people in front!" ”
Liu Er's voice was very weak, but Liu Wei, who was running fast under her armpit, still heard it clearly.
What made Liu Er wonder was that Liu Wei did not run towards the more than a dozen shaking torches, but ran to a dark alley, turned around and got into the alley.
His move made Liu Er feel extremely stunned, a pair of big eyes stared blankly at the darkness in front of him, listening to Liu Bian's slightly heavy gasping sound and the sound of hurried footsteps on the ground, he didn't know what Liu Bian wanted to do for a while.
Liu Wei's actions not only made Liu Er feel full of doubts, but even Wang Zhen and the others who followed him were stunned, and they didn't know why he saw someone running towards him, but he didn't speed up and rushed forward to ask for help.
By the time Wang Wei and the others came to the mouth of the alley, Liu Wei, who was holding Liu Er under his arm, had his back disappeared into darkness.
"Chase!" Standing in front of the alley, looking at the dark alley, Wang Wei waved his hand at the assassins behind him and rushed into the alley first.
The streets were dark, but there was still a faint light, but the alleys were dark.
Rushing into the alley, Wang Wei and the others did not dare to chase too fast, they chased while keeping an eye on both sides of the alley, for fear that Liu Wei would give up and escape, and hide on the side and suddenly attack them.
When Wang Wei and the others entered the alley, Liu Wei had already run far away with Liu Er.
Although Liu Er is not too heavy, it still takes a lot of strength to clamp her under her armpit, after all, Liu Wei, whose arms are already a little sore, put the hand holding Liu Er on her back during the run, and the other hand on her buttocks, and hugged her.
Running in this way, although it is not as convenient as jumping forward quickly with Liu'er, it is much more labor-saving, and it is just suitable for moving quickly in the dark alley in front of you.
The buttocks were suddenly held down by Liu Wei's hand, and Liu Er shivered with excitement, but immediately she felt that Liu Wei's action did not have any other meaning, but just wanted to change the posture of hugging her.
"I'll go by myself!" was held in Liu Bian's arms and ran forward, Liu Er forced herself to say to Liu Bian: "Hold me like this, neither of us can escape!" ”
Holding Liu'er, Liu Wei didn't speak, he just silently sped up his pace.
Got into the alley, Liu Wei didn't dare to stop half a step and kept running forward, passing through the corner of a wall on the side, Liu Wei looked up at the top of the wall that was plated with a thin layer of silver light by the dim starlight in the night, he stopped his pace, put his hands on Liu Er's buttocks, and pushed her body to the wall.
Liu Er, who was born as a swordsman, although she was injured in many places all over her body, and her consciousness was hazy due to excessive blood loss, but the swordsman's intuition made her understand Liu Bian's intention the moment Liu Biao lifted her to the wall.
As soon as Liu Wei was held up to the wall, Liu Er stretched out his hands, grabbed the top of the wall, and climbed up under Liu Wei's lifting.
Liu Er was lying on the wall, and Liu Wei jumped up, grabbed the wall with both hands, and jumped up.
Jumping up the wall, he grabbed Liu'er's two arms and tilted his head towards Liu'er.
His arm was grabbed by Liu Wei, and seeing him tilt his head to the other side, Liu Er suddenly understood what he meant, twisted his body, and slid off the wall.
Pulling Liu Er's arms, he slowly lowered her down the wall, and when his arms could no longer droop, Liu Wei let go of his hand.
The wall is not very high, if it was in the past, even if Liu Er jumped down, it would be nothing. But right now, Liu Er is injured, and she has lost much strength. Falling off the wall, her legs were weak, she sat down on the ground with a "poof", and fell into a porcelain solid.
Hearing that Liu Er fell to the ground, Liu Wei also turned over and jumped off the wall.
As soon as his feet landed, he bent down to help Liu Er, and without waiting for Liu Er to take a step, he picked her up again and jumped forward quickly.
Wang Wei and a group of assassins, who rushed into the alley after Liu Wei and Liu Er, entered the alley, and ran to the end of the alley without seeing Liu Wei and Liu Er.
Standing at the entrance of the alley on the other side, Wang Xun frowned tightly, secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly said to the several assassins who followed him: "Quickly find out if there is a wall behind you that can be climbed!" ”
As soon as the Assassins who had followed him into the alley had turned around, the dozen or so men who had been running up from the end of the street with torches had extinguished their torches and ran in front of Wang Xun.
As soon as he arrived in front of Wang Chen, one of them clasped his fists and bowed down to Wang Xun and said, "Sir, leave quickly, there are already many dragoon guards rushing here!" ”
Listening to the man's words, Wang Xun frowned tightly, and waved his hand to the few assassins who had not had time to search the alley in his heart, and lowered his voice and said, "Go!" ”
With Wang Chen's greeting, a group of people ran out of the alley one after another, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
In the distance, the burning houses were burning with raging fires, and the other houses connected to them were already burned to pieces, and the entire abandoned street was almost half burned. The flames made a "whirring" sound under the blowing of the night wind, almost half of the sky was reflected red.
Being held by Liu Wei in the alley, looking at the road chosen by Liu Bian, Liu Er turned her head in surprise to look at Liu Bian, who had been hugging her for a long time and was already sweating profusely.
"Dragoons patrol, not everyone will light torches!" While running, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said to Liu Er: "At most, there are only three torches at the front and tail of the team, and those people who came over just now are definitely not dragoons!" ”
Listening to Liu Wei's words, Liu Er was stunned in her heart. A prince actually knew the patrol habits of the soldiers under her command, which completely subverted her cognition.
"The fire has been ignited, and the dragoon guards patrolling the night are probably already gathering there." Hugged by Liu Bian, Liu Er did not speak, but Liu Bian ran forward quickly, and then said to Liu Er: "When the two of us return, the assassin will definitely have left!" ”
Turning her head to look at Liu Bi, listening to his analysis mixed with heavy gasps, Liu Er inexplicably had a strange feeling in her heart.
In the past, she often heard Wang Yue mention Liu Bian, but Liu Biao in Wang Yue's mouth was just a timid and fearful prince of the Han family, and Liu Biao who was holding her was completely different from the same person.
"Who? Stand still! Liu Wei hugged Liu Er, and just as he was about to get out of the alley, five or six black shadows appeared on the street at the mouth of the alley, and the black shadow standing at the front raised his arm, lowered his voice, and shouted to them.
