After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight
Chapter 66 The next cut is the neck
A rain of arrows flew towards the three of them.
Tang Yuhuai and Chu Xi reacted quickly, and Zhou Yichen had also learned some martial arts. Although he was not as good as Tang Yuhuai and Chu Xi, he was more than capable of protecting himself.
The three of them tried their best to kick away all the arrows that might hurt them.
Chu Xi can still spare some energy to directly catch the arrow, or even return the arrow. She can throw the arrow back according to the direction from which it came. She has an extraordinary hearing ability.
"Your Highness, these people deliberately set an ambush for us." Chu Xi cast his eyes over to Tang Yuhuai, "Tang Yuhuai, take Your Highness away, and leave this to me."
This place is obviously not suitable for Zhou Yichen to stay any longer. After all, the one most likely to be targeted among the three is His Royal Highness Prince Yan, and she must ensure Zhou Yichen's safety.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You asked me to take His Highness away. What will you do then?" Tang Yuhuai was not sure who these people were coming for. On the surface, they were coming for Zhou Yichen.
But who can guarantee that their target will not be Chu Qibai?
After all, they had just provoked a vengeful person from Western Chu today!
"His Highness is of noble status, and he must not be harmed." Chu Xi quickly used Qinggong to fly to the roof, while avoiding the rain of arrows and returning two of them.
A man rolled down from the roof. Tang Yuhuai ran over to check. The dead man was dressed in black. "He has calluses on his mouth and is good at using a sword."
This clue does not reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.
Chu Xi quickly approached the three people who were ambushing on the roof on the left. There were five people before, but she took care of two of them. She kicked them quickly and snatched the bow and arrow from their hands.
As for the person, he was kicked down by her and rolled down, falling to the ground.
Chu Xi threw an arrow at the two people who were aimed at him, but the arrows lost their aim and were also shot towards the empty street.
One of them had his hand dislocated by her and her knee was pressing on his back, making him unable to move.
One of them was kicked off the roof by her and became a companion to the previous person.
Chu Xi skillfully blocked the people in front of her, and she pulled them to hide behind the roof. She pinched the assassin's neck, "Who sent you? What do you want to do?"
Just as the assassin was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide, Chu Xi pried open his mouth so that his teeth could not touch his tongue at all.
"explain."
Chu Xi didn't believe that there were people in this world who were not afraid of death. He decisively took out the dagger he had hidden under his boots, slashed the assassin's arm with force, and then moved closer to his neck. "If you don't tell me, the next knife will be to your neck."
"Our mission is to kill the Prince of Chu, Chu Qibai."
"Western Chu people." Chu Xi thought of the tone of the Western Chu people in the previous arena when he heard the accent, "Kill Chu Qibai, it seems that your master has also investigated my identity, then who is your master?"
The assassin felt the sharp blade approaching his neck, and his fear of death instinct made him answer, "Fifth Prince."
Tang Yuhuai and Zhou Yichen were surrounded by dozens of people below. They initially thought that there were just a dozen people lying in ambush on the roof, preparing for a small-scale sneak attack.
As a result, dozens of people appeared and cooperated well with each other. Some were good at using swords, and some were good at using knives.
Most people in Western Chu are good at using knives and rely mainly on strength. People in the Great Zhou are good at using swords, and even the imperial guards mostly practice swords. People in the eastern grasslands rely mainly on boxing and kicking, and their external skills have reached the extreme, making them invulnerable to swords and spears.
The Japanese ninjas were famous for their invisibility skills, and now only the Eastern Grasslands and Western Chu had entered the capital.
Some of these people's kung fu are from the Great Zhou, and some are from Western Chu, making it impossible to tell whether the mastermind behind the scenes is from the Great Zhou or Western Chu.
"Tang Yuhuai, take His Highness away first and stop talking nonsense." Chu Xi knew that since so many people were sent, the force behind them might be a combination of Western Chu and Great Zhou.
The fact that they are so presumptuous on the territory of Great Zhou is enough to show how much the people of Western Chu despise Great Zhou, and it also shows that the people behind the scenes of Great Zhou who have joined forces with Western Chu really don't care about their own country.
"Okay." Tang Yuhuai knew that the current situation was no longer the same as before. He could no longer talk about going in and out together. The right thing to do was to break out with His Highness and call for reinforcements.
However, these people obviously did not intend to let them leave so easily. Dozens of people surrounded the two of them and kept approaching them.
Zhou Yichen seldom does things on his own, but today he was not only forced to do it himself, but he was also stabbed twice, one on his back and one on his arm.
Tang Yuhuai saw someone trying to attack Zhou Yichen from behind, so he quickly reminded him and called out "Your Highness".
But he was tightly entangled here. These people clearly did it on purpose. They divided themselves into two teams and wanted to separate Tang Yuhuai and Zhou Yichen so that Tang Yuhuai could not rush to rescue quickly.
Chu Xi picked up the bow without thinking, pulled it to the maximum, and shot three arrows at once, piercing the throats of the two assassins who were trying to launch a sneak attack on Zhou Yichen.
The two men widened their eyes and had already raised the knives in their hands, but they were just about to hit it. As a result, the arrows were faster than their movements. The two arrows took their lives, but also saved Zhou Yichen's life.
Tang Yuhuai was distracted when he saw this scene and was stunned for a moment. He shot three arrows, one of which hit the leg of another person next to him, and two arrows pierced the throats of the two men.
It can be said that none of Chu Qibai's three arrows missed the target, all of them hit the target.
The fact that he can shoot multiple arrows at the same time and still hit the target is enough to show how superb his archery skills are.
Even Tang Yuhuai himself could not guarantee that he could react so quickly and accurately in such a short time.
When Zhou Yichen saw the arrow fly over his head and kill two assassins, he couldn't help but feel relieved and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
He knew that as long as Qibai was there, he would never have to worry.
Tang Yuhuai took advantage of the moment when Chu Xi's two arrows frightened those people and quickly rushed to Zhou Yichen's side, "Your Highness, you can go this way."
He chose the east direction, which was the direction with the least manpower and easier to break through.
Tang Yuhuai was chosen as the Lieutenant General of the Jinwu Guard, so there was no need to worry about his martial arts ability. Even if they were facing a siege of fifty or sixty assassins, he could break through quickly with Zhou Yichen.
Chu Xi occupied the commanding heights and killed five people on the opposite side with a bow and arrow. She dodged all the arrows they shot at her.
As for the man she had caught before, he couldn't run away. She pushed down with one knee and directly collapsed the man's spine. The pain was so severe that he couldn't move at all for the time being.
Amid the swordplay, Chu Xi had no time to consider whether her methods were cruel or not. If she showed mercy, she would be handing her life over to others.
Tang Yuhuai protected Zhou Yichen and left from the alley, and half of the assassins chased in their direction.
It’s strange to say, it’s not even curfew yet and the street is so quiet that no one is around. Such a big noise didn’t alarm anyone!
This is still the capital, under the feet of the emperor.
It's ridiculous.
