The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 315: Another Assassination
On the street, the carriages of Changsun Ji and his party formed a long line.The carriages are connected end to end, and there are several guards around each carriage.

Only the carriage in the middle gathered the large number of guards. This was Changsun Ji's carriage, and next to Changsun Ji's carriage was Guo Yu's carriage and two imperial physicians' carriages.

At the front are some gifts from the imperial court to Changsun Ji, and at the back are some daily necessities brought by Changsun Ji.

The last one in the convoy was not so much a carriage as a prison cart.What was placed on the board was not a carriage but a simple cage made of wood the thickness of an arm.

There was also a heavily bound prisoner lying inside.The prisoner was dressed in black, with whip marks and blood stains on his clothes. For some unknown reason, in the eyes of outsiders, this person's body looked a bit bloated.

The appearance is exactly the same as the black-clothed assassin who assassinated Changsun Ji.This person is naturally the black-clothed assassin sent by Changsun Ji.

Changsun Ji and Guo Yu guessed that if someone wanted to kill the assassin, they would most likely use long-distance weapons such as bows and crossbows.

So this soldier pretending to be an assassin is not only wearing an iron armor underwear, but also stuffed with some cotton, straw and the like.For the assassin's touch.

As for how the appearance of this soldier changed to that of the assassin, there are not very few short-term methods of changing a person's appearance, such as some human skin masks, potions, ointments, etc., can temporarily change a person's appearance.

A group of people drove slowly from the city gate to the other courtyard.Because in the small city, Changsun Ji was assassinated, although Changsun Ji did not say anything to blame them.

But as Changsun Ji's personal guards, they have always felt guilty that Changsun Ji was assassinated and seriously injured.So from the small town all the way to the capital, these personal guards were all in high spirits, for fear that Changsun Ji would encounter any danger.

The convoy slowly drove into another street. Small vendors selling various things in the street were yelling hard. Changsun Ji opened the car window and looked out. Although it was not as prosperous as before the disaster, the economy has also begun to slow down. recovered.

Changsun Ji turned his head to look at Feng Wan'er who was sitting beside him and smiled, and was about to say something when his face suddenly changed, and he threw himself directly, pushing Feng Wan'er under him.

During the period of time he stayed in the small city, he had already refined all the inner alchemy of the silver hand.The internal force in his body has reached 70 years now.With the increase in skill, his five senses have also strengthened a lot.

Just now, he heard the sound of bowstrings.Although he still doesn't know whether the bow and arrow are coming towards him, it's always good to be careful.Being shot by a crossbow arrow, he is still completely agile now, so naturally he will not have the power to test the bow and arrow with his body.

Just as Changsun Ji threw Feng Wan'er down on the carriage, Changsunji could hear a "boom" from his own carriage, obviously an arrow had hit the carriage.However, because the wood of the carriage is relatively strong, the arrow branch obviously did not shoot through the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, an exclamation came from outside: "Enemy attack, protect the general."

Changsun Ji heard the chaotic sounds outside and the exclamation, noise, and running of the people on the street. Even if he didn't go out, Changsun Ji could guess how chaotic it was outside.

Changsun Ji straightened up, helped Feng Wan'er up by the way, and shouted to the outside through the carriage: "Don't get confused, hold the carriage, put on the bow and crossbow, and fight back."

"Zhao Yan, you stay in the carriage, I'll go down and have a look." Changsun Ji gave Feng Wan'er an order, then picked up his Yanling Saber from inside the carriage, and was about to walk out of the carriage.

"Husband." Feng Wan'er called Changsun Ji, who turned to look at her.

"Be careful in everything. This is the capital city, and we don't allow others to be presumptuous. As long as you delay for a while, the city guards will arrive soon."

Changsun Ji nodded, then lifted the curtain of the car and walked out.

But as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Changsun Ji saw a bodyguard beside him shooting an arrow with a bow, and directly shot down a man in black on the other side's roof.

Changsun Ji looked at the guard and said with a smile, "Good job, Chen Zhi."

Seeing Changsun Ji coming out of the carriage, Wang Gang hurried over to protect Changsun Ji.

"Master, why did you come out? It's not safe outside."

"Hmph, I'd like to see who wants my eldest grandson Ji's life. After chasing him all the way from the small town to the capital, he dares to commit murder in the street. It's simply lawless." Changsun Ji scoffed coldly.

"Wang Gang, it's enough to have Chen Zhi by my side to protect him. Go and protect Mr. Guo so that nothing happens to Mr. Guo." Changsun Ji ordered.

Wang Gang glanced at Chen Zhi, and ordered: "Protect your son." After a few steps, he ran to Guo Yu's carriage.Changsun Ji watched the guards around him keep shooting arrows with their bows, and they kept shooting at the men in black on the opposite roof.

Both sides have their own losses, and Changsun Ji's personal guards have also died.

Changsun Ji reached out and knocked out the bow and arrow shot at him with the Yanling Saber, and looked at the man in black opposite, preparing to organize a counterattack.

But I saw a man in black on the opposite roof whistled.Then, the group of men in black began to retreat while fighting.

Because of some scruples in his heart, Changsun Ji didn't let people go after him, but just let people clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and count the casualties.

At this time, a group of soldiers appeared at the end of the street, rushing towards Changsun Ji and the others in a hurry.

Changsun Ji glanced at it from a distance, but he didn't want to take another look.The soldiers who rushed over were the city guards. From Changsun Ji's point of view, this group of people would always show up when the battle ended.Never a second early or a second late.

Of course, it is impossible to rely on these people to protect the safety of the capital.In fact, not all city guards will always appear at the end of the battle.

There are a total of five city guards in the capital, east, west, north, south, and central.The East, West, North and South armies are all elite, patrolling and guarding the capital every day.

And the army in the middle is the army that is rushing towards Changsun Ji. It is more like a small team than an army.There are less than 20 people in total, not as many as Changsun Ji's personal guards.

Changsun Ji didn't bother to talk to them when he saw them, and learned the number of casualties from the personal guards. Changsun Ji was about to bend down and get into the carriage.

The city guards, who were rushing slowly, came here, and as soon as they stopped, one of the city guards, who was wearing a dark official uniform, stroked his slightly crooked helmet, and took a few deep breaths.Seeing Changsun Ji, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted, "I have seen General Changsun."
