Chapter 214 Traitor
Li Zhen was holding a food box with Hu cakes in it. Since there were no chili peppers in the Tang Dynasty, the Hu cakes were sprinkled with dogwood, a substitute for chili peppers.
There are dogwood sticks on the body and the dogwood is eaten in the mouth. It is spicy enough to make people burst into tears. This is also a special snack of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhen picked up the wooden food box in her hand and was about to take out the Hu cake.
"boom!"
There was a crisp cracking sound, and Li Zhen saw that there was a crossbow arrow stuck on the food box, and the tail of the crossbow arrow was vibrating and making a buzzing sound.
"There is an assassin!"
Li Zhen roared, and the next moment, dozens of guards formed a circle, surrounding Li Zhen and his five wives in the center.
¡°Swish, swish, swish¡¡±
"ah!"
In the large lake behind me, twenty or thirty assassins wearing green ghost masks climbed out of nowhere.
These assassins were all naked and holding crossbows in their hands. They were running forward while firing at Li Zhen.
"ah!"
The guards in front of them kept getting hit by arrows and fell to the ground. At the same time, after experiencing the initial panic, the guards calmed down. They took out their muskets, divided into two rows, and fired in two stages.
"boom!"
"boom!"
With the sound of muskets, more than twenty assassins who rushed out of the pool fell instantly.
However, the remaining assassins have already rushed forward.
"kill!"
The guards threw away their muskets, pulled out their swords from their waists, and started killing the assassin.
"flutter!"
Flesh and blood are flying everywhere!
One of the guards slashed past and cut the assassin opposite him into two pieces. A blood-red thin line appeared on the assassin's waist. The thin line continued to expand, and half of his body slowly fell to the ground.
Li Zhen's bodyguards not only possess muskets, a black technology that transcends the times, but also the best cold weapon in ancient times - Hengdao.
The knife in the assassin's hand was like a toy compared to the horizontal knife, and it was cut into two pieces in an instant.
"Withdraw!"
A loud roar was heard, and the remaining dozen assassins fled towards the large lake in the distance.
"Chase!"
The guards gave chase.
The dozen assassins ran to the lake and suddenly stopped, as if they were about to fight.
"Kill!" The guards rushed over with horizontal knives.
The two sides started a melee in the water.
"Kill Li Zhen!"
A loud roar came from behind Li Zhen. Li Zhen turned around and saw a dozen assassins dressed in black and wearing green ghost masks rushing out of the jungle beside him.
not good!
Cold sweat flowed from Li Zhen's body.
In an instant, Li Zhen knew that he had fallen into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. It turned out that the assassins were divided into two waves. The assassins who emerged from the water were just bait to lure away his guards.
When there was no one around him, the assassin showed his final trump card.
More than ten assassins, as fast as lightning, attacked where Li Zhen was. At this time, there were only four or five guards in front of Li Zhen.
"Zhang Chao!" Li Zhen shouted.
However, Zhang Chao did not answer.
Li Zhen then remembered that she had not seen Zhang Chao since she climbed Cuihua Mountain. Where was Zhang Chao?
Nina is not around, and Zhang Chao is not around, what a shame!
"Protect the prince!"
The only four guards in front of Li Zhen shot forward with muskets. After just one shot, the assassins were already there.
The four guards took out their swords from their waists and faced the assassin.
"Cang!"
The two knives intersected, and sparks flew everywhere.
The guards were surprised to find that these dozen assassins were holding horizontal knives officially made by the Tang Dynasty.
Seven or eight assassins surrounded the four guards and started a group fight. The remaining seven or eight assassins attacked Li Zhen.
At this time, there was no one in front of Li Zhen, and the guards fighting at the pool were unable to come back for help in a short time. The danger was extremely dangerous for a while.
"ah!"
A shout came, and the next moment, a female general stood in front of Li Zhen, holding a spear, and instantly pierced the chest of an assassin, it was Li Ruyi.
"Your Highness, leave quickly!" Li Ruyi shouted.
The assassins pounced on Li Ruyi. These assassins had obviously been strictly trained. Suddenly, Li Ruyi was in danger.
"Your Highness, leave quickly!" Li Ruyi shouted. The next moment, Li Ruyi was kicked, staggered, fell to the ground, and let go of the spear.
"kill!"
An assassin swung his sword and slashed at Li Ruyi. When he saw Li Ruyi, he removed his head.
"ah!"
"boom!"
The next moment, there was a loud noise, and the head of the assassin who slashed at Li Ruyi exploded. The white brains mixed with the red blood, splashed all over the ground, and collapsed.
Li Zhen roared, and smoke curled up from the muzzle of the musket in his hand.
"Your Highness, leave quickly!" Li Ruyi got up.
But Li Zhen had blocked Li Ruyi with her body and said loudly: "I will protect my woman!"
"Come on!" Li Zhen yelled, firing three shots with the musket in his hand, directly blowing the heads of the three assassins.
The remaining two assassins were shocked, turned around and ran away.
Li Ruyi picked up the spear and threw it forward, stabbing an assassin to the core.
¡°Bang bang!¡±
Li Zhen fired the last two shots, hitting the last assassin's thighs. The assassin screamed and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the nearby guards heard the noise on the top of the mountain and rushed over, killing the remaining assassins one by one.
Everything calmed down, and Li Zhen ordered the guards to clean up the battlefield. In this battle, a total of forty to fifty assassins were killed, and Li Zhen's guards also suffered more than a dozen casualties.
Li Zhen asked someone to pull the assassin who was kicked by him to his side. He wanted to see who wanted to kill him.
"Take off his mask!" Li Zhen said coldly.
The next moment, everyone was stunned. The face under the mask was Zhang Chao, the commander of Li Zhen¡¯s guards! ! !
How can it be? ? ?
Everyone was shocked. No one thought that Zhang Chao, Li Zhen's bodyguard commander, was actually one of the assassins.
¡°Don¡¯t talk about Li Zhen, everyone can¡¯t believe their eyes.
how could this be? ? ?
"Zhang Chao? You bastard! How dare you assassinate the prince!!!"
The two guards on the side went up and faced Zhang Chao with both feet.
"Stop!"
Li Zhen didn¡¯t want Zhang Chao to be beaten to death like this. He wanted to ask more things from Zhang Chao¡¯s mouth.
No wonder that only Zhang Chao and a few close confidants knew that his family came to Cuihua Mountain to climb. Only Zhang Chao betrayed himself so that the assassin could assassinate him at the exact time and place.
It¡¯s just that Li Zhen didn¡¯t understand. She was so good to Zhang Chao and regarded him as a confidant. Why did Zhang Chao want to assassinate him in turn?
Isn¡¯t this unreasonable?
Thinking of this, Li Zhen asked: "Zhang Chao, I ask myself, I treat you well, why do you want to assassinate me?"
Zhang Chao wiped the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth and said: "The prince treats me well, but I, Zhang Chao, also have my own difficulties. I hope that your highness will remember that I, Zhang Chao, have worked hard for you before and don't bring harm to me. Family." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
