Chapter 170: Birthday Banquet Murder (Part 2)
But when Sun Shaozong heard the assassin shouting "Shoot!", his heart tightened. He quickly danced the horse's corpse so that it was impervious to wind and rain, and quickly retreated into the protection circle of the Dragon Guards.
but……
He had just taken a few steps back when dozens of Dragon Guards scattered away, leaving only two or three kittens guarding him with gritted teeth!
Damn~
What a bunch of cowardly idiots!
Sun Shaozong was so angry that he almost burst into cursing. These bastards didn’t think carefully. Once he was hit by a poisoned arrow and lost his combat effectiveness, who could withstand the attack of the assassins?
If something goes wrong with Prince Yizhong, who on the scene will survive? !
Tsk, tsk, tsk…
At this moment, the sharp sound of breaking through the air had suddenly arrived in the cover of night. Listening to the dense sound like rain, it seemed that the number of arrows shot in was several times more than before!
How many assassins are here?
Besides, did they show mercy just now? !
Wondering in his heart, Sun Shaozong's hands moved a little faster, and the horse's blood, which was still wet, splashed all over the street.
However, the expected rain of arrows did not arrive as expected!
"Uh~"
"What's going on?!"
"Who is shooting arrows randomly?!"
Just as he was puzzled, the assassins on the opposite side started screaming and roaring.
It turned out that the previous wave of arrows had all fallen on the heads of the assassins. As a result, more than ten people were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, and almost all the rest were injured!
“Hehehe…”
A shrill laugh echoed over the long street: "I originally wanted to capture a few more people alive, but since someone shouted to shoot, how can I not help them?"
This sound seems to be...
Dai Quan?!
"But in person with the commander?!"
Sun Shaozong was just mumbling in his mind, but someone from the Dragon Guards behind him shouted in surprise: "I, Liu Bangchang, am here to protect Prince Yi Zhong. Please come to our aid as soon as possible, Commander!"
Tsk~
It turned out that the team was led by Liu Zhenfu, the head of the Northern Pacification Office!
He was hiding in the crowd just now and Sun Shaozong didn't notice him.
However, this governor seems to have a low IQ.
Just by looking at how Dai Quan suddenly appeared here with his men and quietly dealt with the assassins on the roofs on both sides, it is not difficult to guess that he came prepared - and Liu Zhenfu was used as bait, but he didn't even realize it, and instead was grateful to Dai Quan.
Since it's bait, the people in the sedan chair might also...
Sun Shaozong subconsciously looked back and saw the curtain of the sedan chair lifted, and a young man with a fair face and no beard walked out. He seemed to be holding some odds and ends such as a beard and a wig in his hands.
It turns out to be a substitute!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of torches had been lit on the roofs of both sides, illuminating the entire long street and illuminating the countless soldiers in armor at every end of the street.
"Take them all with me!"
Following an order from Dai Quan who was hiding in the darkness, the soldiers on both sides immediately raised their ten-foot-long spears and slowly advanced with firm steps.
It seems there is no need for me to take any more action.
Sun Shaozong felt relieved and was about to throw away the horse corpse, but suddenly he found that Liu Zhenfu had a hideous face like a ghost and shouted to the sky: "The commander has ordered that all follow me to capture the traitor!"
After shouting, he stepped out of the crowd with a single sword in hand.
At this moment, I don’t know how many Dragon Guards looked like they suddenly realized their boss had screwed a dog!
It is true that the assassins on the opposite side
But since the pacification envoy had personally led the charge, how could they, his subordinates, retreat?
There was no other choice but to greet Liu Zhenfu's mother in their hearts while charging forward!
Even Sun Shaozong was no exception, since he also held the official position of the Northern Pacification Office.
Fortunately, compared with others, the assassin without poison arrows can only be regarded as a credit to him for being able to move, and cannot pose much threat.
So by the time the armies on both sides were approaching, eight more people had been crippled and three more had died under his horse hammer!
With the participation of hundreds of soldiers, the battle quickly came to an end.
A quarter of an hour later...
"I am Liu Bangchang [Sun Shaozong], and I am honored to meet the Commander!"
Liu Bangchang and Sun Shaozong, side by side, saluted Dai Quan on one knee.
Dai Quan gently extended his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Shao Zong, please get up first. You performed well today and did not embarrass me ."
"Your Excellency is too kind. I just happened to be in this position."
Sun Shaozong straightened up and stepped aside at Dai Quan's signal.
Then Dai Quan's face darkened and he sneered, "Liu Bangchang, do you have any resentment in your heart?"
Liu Bangchang immediately knelt on his knees and said with his head on the ground: "I dare not do that!"
"You just don't dare?"
"No, no, no, I don't have any resentment at all!"
Liu Bangchang raised his butt half a head higher than his head and said in a trembling voice: "First, I failed to supervise, which led to the emergence of rebellious traitors such as Qian Ning and Jin Yichuan from the Northern Pacification Office. Later, I accidentally leaked the route of Prince Yi Zhong's return home..."
"If it weren't for the commander's keen observation and the strategy of luring the enemy, I would have been dead long ago! Therefore, in my heart, you are like a reborn parent, so how could I have any resentment?"
"That is why I was prepared to risk my life to repay the commander's kindness!"
Just now Sun Shaozong thought that Liu Zhenfu was a little low in IQ, but now it seems that he is not mentally retarded at all, but rather too smart!
"Rising your life?"
Dai Quan snorted and said, "I'm afraid you want to dye your robe red again with the blood of your subordinates, right?"
"Sir! I dare not..."
"Don't talk nonsense to me here."
Dai Quan waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly: "Go back and submit your resignation letter quickly, and I will protect your life in front of the Emperor!"
"Thank you, Commander. Thank you, Commander!"
After Liu Bangchang thanked him profusely and left , Dai Quan turned his attention to Sun Shaozong and said with a smile, "Shaozong, you are a smart man. I don't need to tell you how to deal with this matter tonight, right?"
"Don't worry, Commander."
Sun Shaozong hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "I will keep my mouth shut and will never leak a word to anyone!"
"Hahaha……"
Dai Quan laughed, stood up, walked to Sun Shaozong, and slowly stretched out his left hand.
Sun Shaozong understood and lowered his shoulders a little more.
Dai Quan patted him on the shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm here, no one can take the credit for this! Besides, I'm old now, and the golden signboard of our Dragon Guards will have to rely on young people like you to support it in the future."
