Chapter 684: Assassination (Part 2)

The streets that were originally as calm as before were suddenly chaotic, and cries were heard everywhere, and there were crowds of wolves running away. Two teams of soldiers formed a circle, with the tip of their guns facing outward, staring at the tide of the crowd vigilantly. In the center of the circle, Yuan Fang stood with a knife, but his other hand pressed a person tightly. At this time, the upper half of the carriage had been dispersed, leaving only two wheels and a base plate. The walls scattered on the ground fell to the ground, which were all made of iron plates. If it were not for the extremely powerful eight-ox crossbow shooting, it would definitely be impossible to break the wall.

Yuan Fang's hands were shaking slightly. Even though he was extremely skilled in martial arts, half of his body was still numb with human power. On the bottom plate, Shang Haibo struggled to sit up, calmly sorted out his clothes, and even looked at Yuan Fang and smiled. From Youyan to the capital, he had experienced countless assassinations and poisonings, and almost all the ways to kill people. He had experienced it all along the way, but it was the first time that Yuan Fang was assassinated as today.

"The Supervisory Office is good at doing it!" Yuan Fang smiled at Shang Haibo, "I actually moved to the capital for a while. It's amazing. It seems that I will not give up until I take your life. Lao Shang, what do you think?" The Eight Niu Crossbow has always been a powerful weapon in the military and national affairs, with extremely strict control and is strictly prohibited from private storage. When Li Qing was attacked by the Eight Niu Crossbow, it caused an uproar and directly led to a drastic change within the Li family. Today is the second time, and the Eight Niu Crossbow was once again used to kill a specific person.

Shang Haibo's muscles twitched slightly, and he did not answer. Yuan Fang was secretly happy. This time, Dingzhou had invested a lot of money, so why didn't he? Along the way, he showed his body from time to time, attracting constant attacks from the Dingzhou Supervision Bureau. As the number of times became more and more frequent and the methods became more and more intense, Shang Haibo's face became increasingly ugly. From the beginning of a fierce debate with him to the current silence, it showed that the opponent's psychology was changing little by little. Today is the last opportunity for the opponent. Yuan Fangxie is sure to have a fierce battle. He would never be able to walk into the Yingguan Hotel calmly. He is also willing to give the other party such an opportunity. First, he can destroy Shang Haibo's loyalty to Dingzhou again, and second, he can also take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the Dingzhou Supervision Bureau's personnel in Luoyang.

Now it seems that the goal has indeed been achieved. The only thing that was unexpected was that the other party was the specially made Baniu Crossbow in Dingzhou, which made him fuss all of a sudden. Fortunately, he personally acted as a coachman to protect Shang Haibo, otherwise the matter would have gone a long way and they might have succeeded.

With one hand, Yuan Fang took a big stance and walked forward, keeping the circle around their soldiers and moving forward slowly. The crowd was still panicking, screaming, and running. The bright red blood on the ground and dead bodies stimulated everyone's feelings, making people feel endless.

The crowd was surging, and the two soldiers in the circle suddenly groaned and fell down. Two crossbow arrows were inserted between their chests and abdomen. The assassins from Dingzhou were mixed with the cover of the panic crowd, and then they retreated safely.

"Miss, three and four, keep an eye on it!" Yuan Fang said in a deep voice.

Two soldiers dressed as soldiers stared at the shuttle crowd, and another soldier screamed and fell down. At the same time, one rose from the soldiers, like a big bird, pounced towards a woman. Seeing the man flying to his head, the woman showed a look of panic on her face, and raised her hands and sniffed, and a series of crossbow arrows shot at the man.

The sword light flashed, and the tinging sound kept ringing. Several crossbow arrows were shot down. The sword light flashed like a horse. The woman screamed, her head flew high, but she heard the screams, but she was extremely rough and proud, clearly dressed as a man.

The man who killed the assassin quickly retreated again, Yuan Fang nodded, "Missary, you're doing a good job!"

Yuan Xiaosan and Yuan Xiaosi are Yuan Fang's soldiers, mixed with soldiers guarding the city, with the purpose of protecting Shang Haibo to his destination safely.

The guards fell to the ground from time to time, and assassins were killed by Yuan Xiaosan and Yuan Xiaosi on the spot. After walking more than a hundred meters away, the guards had already fallen down more than ten, which made the circle closer and the fear on the faces of the soldiers became stronger and stronger.

Yuan Fang frowned slightly. This time the opponent's actions were unusual. Once the assassination in front was blocked, the opponent immediately retreated. However, this time, many people had died, but it seemed that there was no intention to retreat at all. This made Yuan Fang more vigilant. I'm afraid the most fierce attack was still behind. If the Eight Niu Crossbow did not count, then where would the last attack be?

Another soldier fell down screaming, and the dark crossbow arrow was inserted between his chest and abdomen, and the arrow feathers were still trembling slightly. Yuan Xiaosan rushed out again. This time his target was a wandering old man who bent over and hunched back, wrinkles on his face, and seemed to be dead at any time.

Like all the assassins in front, when they saw themselves locked, the old man also showed panic on his face. Yuan Xiaosan smiled grimly, and the steel knife in his hand slashed down without hesitation, waiting for the head to soar into the sky. The previous experience told Yuan Xiaosan that these assassins were just the sharp crossbow arrows in their hands and the cover of the people running in panic. Once their true bodies were locked, their melee ability would be almost nothing.

"Be careful, please!" Yuan Xiaosi's panic shouts came from behind.

Yuan Xiaosan was stunned, and his hand was shocked. The steel knife cut was spread apart, and his fingers were hurt. Only then did he see that the panic on the face of the old man opposite was gone at all, and instead he was sneered. The other party was holding a narrow sword with a narrow sword less than one finger wide. After opening his own steel knife, the sword slid down the steel knife and cut off several fingers that he held the knife.

A sharp pain came, and the steel knife fell to the ground. Yuan Xiaosan roared wildly, slipped sideways, kicked his legs, and his legs were still in the air. A sharp blade popped up with a crackling sound from the tip of the boot. The target pointed to the other party's lower abdomen.

"***!" Yuan Xiaosan heard the other party's cursing clearly, and then he saw another crossbow tube appearing in the other party's other hand. After a chirping sound, Yuan Xiaosan's chest and abdomen surged, and his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.

After the assassin holding a thin sword killed Yuan Xiaosan, he remained silent and rushed towards the guards' soldiers. Yuan Xiaosi, who was sad and angry, roared and rushed up, fighting with the assassin. The assassin's martial arts were so evil that he had no moves. Every move was a life-threatening fight. When he was close, he actually hit his head and gritted his teeth, like a street roar. It seemed ridiculous, but the move was fatal. For a moment, he forced Yuan Xiaosi to be in a hurry.

"Mr. Yuan!" At this time, Yuan Fang was dragging the car to the bottom of the Zui Tower, and the general surnamed Nie was running down from the tower.

"Nie Chun!" Yuan Fang shouted.

"It's my subordinate, Lord Yuan, I have killed all the assassins on the Drunken Tower!" He ran to Yuan Fang, reached out to take the shaft from Yuan Fang, "Sir, I'll drag the car!" He shouted, held the shaft with both hands, and ran forward. At this time, the few people who followed Nie Chun also immediately joined the protection ranks.

Yuan Fang walked quickly with a knife. With Nie Chunlai's towing truck, he could devote himself to protecting Shang Haibo. At this time, Yuan Fang felt a little regretful. If he had known that the other party was so at all costs, he should have found another channel to send Shang Haibo away first, instead of dragging him here to take risks. Although there was a demonstration to the other party, he would not lose any rice in the end.

"Mr. Yuan, at most, there is still a stick of incense. The Imperial Guard will arrive. I am not afraid of these defilements!" Nie Chun said loudly.

Yuan Fang snorted coldly, "Even now, am I afraid of them again?"

Nie Chun made a surprise attack, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

The sound of fighting in the distance continued, and it was obvious that the battle between Yuan Xiaosi and the other party was not over yet.

After running forward for nearly a hundred meters, I could hear the crisp sound of the Imperial City Imperial Guardian horses stepping on the stone slabs. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In this place, the crowds of people running around were gradually decreasing. More people stood close to the base of the wall, watching the group of blood running wildly. In their sight, the cavalry team of the Imperial Guardian had appeared.

A carriage was parked in front of a silk shop gate, and the groom holding the horse looked at their team in a daze. A fat, white and rich middle-aged man was about to step into the carriage with one foot, pulling the wall of the carriage with both hands. When he turned around, his face was shocked.

For some reason, when Yuan Fang saw them at first, a sense of danger arose from the bottom of his heart. Before he could react, the seemingly shocked middle-aged man suddenly shouted loudly, and with both hands, he tore open the wall of the carriage. In the carriage, a cabinet full of black holes appeared in front of Yuan Fang. Behind the cabinet, a man smiled grimly and said with a crazy smile: "Go to die!"

"Hundred crossbows!" Yuan Fang exclaimed and lost his voice. Only a cracking sound was heard in his ears. The rain of arrows was shot out like locusts. Yuan Fang was shocked and raised his foot and stepped on the carriage running forward. The carriage was stomped with great force and immediately flipped. Shang Haibo, who was sitting on it, fell down immediately. The bottom of the carriage was upright, but it became an excellent shield. The sound of robbery was endless. For a moment, there were countless arrows shooting on it. Nie Chun, who was pulling the carriage, screamed and was shot into a hedgehog on the spot. The soldiers who were escorting the warrior turned over and fell to the ground like a wheat harvest.

In the Dingzhou Supervision Bureau, in addition to the Baniu Crossbow, it also laid a hundred crossbows here. And at this deadly moment, the Imperial Guard was right in front of him, and everyone couldn't help but feel relieved. In the moment of mental relaxation, the ultimate killing move suddenly came.

Hiding behind the car board, Yuan Fang looked at Shang Haibo, who was shrinking into a ball under him. At this time, the other party's face also showed a pale look, and he couldn't help but say lucky. Fortunately, Nie Chun came and pulled the car instead of him. Otherwise, if he was still pulling the car, even if he could escape this round of killing of the 100-fly crossbow, Shang Haibo in the car would definitely be dead.

"Catch the assassin!" The imperial guards' shouts were clearly heard, and the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Yuan Fang carefully poked his head out from behind the car board, and the three people who launched the killing on the other side were gone. At this moment, they had already escaped without a trace.

The cavalry flew over and surrounded Yuan Fang and others. At this moment, Yuan Xiaosi rushed over with blood all over. He suffered so many injuries on his body. His clothes were almost broken into strips of cloth and hung on his body scattered.

"It took so long to kill the other party?" Yuan Fang looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

Yuan Xiaosi showed a look of shame on his face, "Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, I let him run away!"

"Escaped?" Yuan Fang glanced at the other party in surprise.

"But I'm going to kill me and I can't run far away. Someone has already chased you. I miss you, so I rushed over." Yuan Xiaosi whispered.

Yuan Fang's face cleared a little, "Do you recognize who the other party is?"

Yuan Xiaosi nodded: "I didn't know him at the beginning, but after fighting for a long time, the other party's disguise gradually fell off. Luoyang quickly recognized that the man was Ximen Qing, the number one thug in the Silver Hook Gambling House."

"Silver hook gambling house!" Yuan Fang's face turned cold, "Flying Eagle Gang? I immediately brought someone to flatten him and arrested all the people related to him, right? It turns out that you are a spy from the Dingzhou Supervision Bureau, hehe, you hide deeply!"

"I'll do it now!" Yuan Xiaosi glanced and confirmed that it was safe now. Then he turned around and left quickly.

Yuan Fang also put the knife into the sheath and helped Shang Haibo up from the ground, "Brother Shang was frightened. Now we are safe. Brother Shang should put his heart back in his stomach. When I arrived at the Yingguan Hotel, I put wine to Brother Shang to suppress my shock."

Shang Haibo's face turned pale. Although he had commanded thousands of troops in the past, he had never experienced this kind of scene of fighting for life in front of the formation and blood splattering everywhere. "You have finally reached your goal. You have been uprooted by you in Dingzhou's foundation in Luoyang!"

Yuan Fang laughed, "It's a pity. It seems that Dingzhou has a lot of nails in Luoyang. This battle will cause them to be damaged at most. I really want to get rid of the roots..." Yuan Fang shook his head, "That's that simple, but it's enough. At least for a few years, they will never be able to make any big waves."

The group hugged Shang Haibo, Yuan Fang and others rode away on horseback.

In the distance, above a tall building, Hu Dong was carrying a pot of wine, drinking by himself, and watching the bloody battles on the streets in the distance. Seeing Shang Haibo being taken away, Hu Dong shook his head and said to himself: "Although it was expected, he was still very disappointed. This guy is so lucky!"

The stairs broke, and Ximen Qing appeared in front of him in blood, "What else?" Hu Dong asked.

Ximen Qing hissed and sucked the air conditioner, "If I hadn't been prepared for it, that would have killed me."

"You are content, Yuan Xiaosan and Yuan Xiaosi, a famous gold medal thug under Yuan Fang. You killed one, injured one, and could still bring your life back. That's great."

"Master Hu, what should we do now?" Ximen Qing took off his bloody clothes from his face and pulled a bag from Hu Dong, pulled out some clothes from it and put them on. He then picked up a bucket of water from the corner, scrubbing the blood on his face and hands.

"What should I do? Escape!" Hu Dong smiled bitterly. After working hard in Luoyang for so many years, it turned out to nothing within a day.

"What should I do with the remaining brothers?" Ximen Qing picked up the wine pot from the table and took a big mouthful of it.

"The exposed brothers are either dead or have run away. All the people left are those who don't know the inside story. It doesn't matter if Qian Fei and the others are locked up for a few days at most and suffer a little. No matter how they investigate, they can't find out that he has too much connection with us."

Ximen Qing nodded, "I'm relieved, but Mr. Hu, Luoyang must be digging three feet to find us now, and the city gate can't go out. Where can we run?"

Hu Dong laughed, "I'll take you to a place, it's absolutely safe."

Xie Ke is now in the Luoyang court, the Ministry of War Officer. He is a dignified fifth-rank official. He also has his own small house on Juxiang Street. There are many high-ranking officials on Juxiang Street. There are many people like him, and they are also inconspicuous. A small courtyard is mixed in the high-gate courtyard. There are only a few old servants and two girls at home for their service.

Today is the day when Shang Haibo enters the city. After Xie Ke came back from the yamen, he kept restless. When the lights came on, a family member who was inquiring about the news rushed in. As soon as he saw him, Xie Ke stood up, "How is it?"

The servant shook his head, his face full of disappointment, "The casualties were heavy, but Shang Haibo still safely entered the Yingguan Hotel. Our foundation in Luoyang this time suffered heavy losses. The Yinhook Gambling House was seized and many people were arrested."

"Where is Mr. Hu?"

"Master Hu must have run away." The servant said.

Xie Ke said dejectedly: "I knew it was such a result. I knew it was impossible to do it, but Hu Tou's stubborn donkey did not listen to my advice, and insisted on losing his troops and wasting his men in vain."

"Master Hu has no choice. Since he received the military order, he must not stop taking action. It's a pity. I heard that it's just a little short of it. If you have a little luck, you can complete the task!"

"A slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of mistakes!" Xie Ke shook his head and said.

A buzzing sound suddenly came from the yard. Xie Ke and the servant raised their heads at the same time. The servant even took out a short blade from his waist, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door.

"Xie Dong, open the door, it's me!" A soft shout came from outside.

"It's Mr. Hu!" the servant shouted in surprise.

The door was opened, and Hu Dong took Ximen Qing in, "Ximen Qing, I killed Yuan Xiaosan today and injured Yuan Xiaosi!" Hu Dong pointed to the man with a scar on his face and said to the servant: "Put the knife away, don't look at him, your brother!"

Seeing Hu Dong, Xie Ke said happily: "Thank God, I finally let you escape here."

Hu Dong smiled, "A good person doesn't live long, and it will last for thousands of years. Bad guys like me will die easily, but from today on, I will eat yours and drink yours!"

Xie Ke smiled and said, "Although Xie is poor, you can still afford to support you."
