Puchi, puchi.
The sound of a dagger stabbing into flesh rang out.
The two men of sacrifice on both sides of the road pounced on the horses. They didn't kill them, but stabbed their daggers into the horses. The horses wailed and raised their front hooves.
The carriage of the Xiao Manor was already a little worn out. With this, the horse and carriage instantly separated.
The coachman was already limp on the ground as he slowly crawled away. The men of sacrifice ignored him, but no one saw him make a hand gesture. It was a hand gesture for the Golden Guards to surround him.
The surrounding passersby fled in panic, especially when they saw the horse that had not taken two steps forward fall to the ground and twitch. Blood instantly flowed all over the ground.
"Ah, ah, help, help, quickly report to the authorities.”
"Report what officials? This is the carriage of the Prime Minister's residence. Who would dare to assassinate him?”
"Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave, or you'll die for nothing. The Golden Guards should be here soon.”
"Prime Minister Xiao is a good man. Should we go up?”
"What are you going to do? He's your father.”
The passers-by's words were mixed with fear and gloating. It was obvious that they were extremely excited that such a big shot was assassinated.
The ten of them surrounded the carriage and looked at each other. Since they dared to come, they obviously didn't plan to return alive. However, even if they died, they had to complete the mission and kill Xiao Rui.
In this way, they could make a contribution to Cui Clan. Their family members could be treated well and their sons could study instead of being dare-to-die fighters. This was their repayment.
"Kill them."
The men of sacrifice finally said the first word they had spoken.
Ten people instantly surrounded him.
In their view, their mission was already complete. With such a small carriage, even if the Golden Guards came, there would not be any problems.
Standing on the second floor of the teahouse, Cui Qingfeng sighed and said,""Fortunately, fortunately father made extra preparations. Otherwise, it would be too late for Xiao Rui to enter the palace after leaving today.”
"Now it seems that they are dead for sure. This Xiao Yu is really as incorruptible as the rumors say.”
Cui Qingfeng expressed his nervousness with words. He believed that if it was his family's carriage or any other family's carriage, even if the horse died, it would not be separated like this.
It almost formed a situation of certain death, like catching a turtle in a jar.
As he spoke, he had already determined Xiao Rui's fate. However, Mr. Lu said,""Although Xiao Yu's carriage is old and shabby, his identity is here, so the carriage won't rot.”
"Unless something unexpected happened."
"This carriage seemed to be moving at an abnormally slow speed just now.”
Mr. Lu's voice was filled with speculation. It could be said that he was very puzzled.
Cui Qingfeng tapped his fingers on the table and said,""Don't worry, Mr. Lu. The men of sacrifice have already surrounded us. With their skills, there's no need to worry even if something happens.”
"I have other arrangements."
Mr. Lu nodded as well, and the two of them looked down.
However, the situation in front of them did not go as they wished.
Boom!
A few people instantly appeared in the carriage, and the entire carriage broke into pieces.
The ten men of sacrifice were instantly blasted apart.
Li Junxian and the three Golden Guards appeared with shields in their hands. Li Junxian stared at the men of sacrifice on the ground, his voice brimming with killing intent."How dare you cause trouble in the Imperial City."
"Kill without mercy."
Li Junxian stood still as the surrounding Golden Guards charged out from the crowd.
The ten men of sacrifice were surrounded like trapped beasts.
The men of sacrifice looked at each other with a bitter expression. They were not afraid of death, but if they died like this, they would die for nothing.
The warrior narrowed his eyes.
They suddenly saw Xiao Rui, who had been blocked by Li Junxian.
The eyes of the men of sacrifice suddenly lit up, and they all roared,""Kill them."
Xiao Rui stood on the carriage with a warning talisman in his sleeve. He smiled and said,"You really came to kill me. You really think highly of me.”
Li Junxian clearly didn't think much of these people, but his curiosity about Xiao Rui grew. As the general of the Golden Guards, he was responsible for guarding the Imperial City.
He knew very well about the battle for the position of historian.
Therefore, when Xiao Rui told him that there would be an assassination, he also took it very seriously. His original intention was to let Xiao Yu and Xiao Rui hide, but Xiao Rui insisted on coming up, saying that he wanted to verify a guess.
Of course, he wouldn't believe Xiao Rui's words alone. What convinced him the most was that on his armor, there was actually a finger print that was forcefully pinched by an eight-year-old child.
What kind of strength was this?
Pfft--
Pfft--
Pfft--
One by one, the men of sacrifice were killed by the Golden Guards.
When the last death warrior died, he didn't even come within three feet of Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui stood there without a trace of fear in his eyes, only watching coldly.
Li Junxian was used to this, but a ballista bolt suddenly rose from the crowd and shot toward Xiao Rui.
The arrow pierced through the air, as if it was going to pierce into Xiao Rui's forehead.
Li Junxian was no longer able to save them. Only now did he understand that those men of sacrifice had died for this moment, to give the last man a chance to fire this ballista bolt.
