Chapter 1127: Time to Fight to the Death
The ear-piercing collision sound instantly woke everyone up!
They quickly looked over.
They saw that Xie Pinggang and Zhou Weizong had already started fighting with the black-clothed people. Behind Zhao Xuanjing was Xie Qiao’s carriage. He held his sword in his left hand, and his graceful figure was like a ghoul in the dark night, he could easily dodge the black-clothed man’s attack!
Xie Qiao immediately took out her small crossbow from the bamboo basket and carried a dagger in her pocket, just in case.
Zhao Xuanjing’s expression was cold, and his attacks were extremely fierce.
From the moment he arrived at this place, he vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with his surroundings.
However, he was not very sure at that time, so he let Xie Qiao enter the house while he looked carefully outside. The other party had hidden very carefully, and there was no movement at all. Other than the faint smell of poison in the air, he could not sense anything odd.
However, at that time, they had not spread the poison yet.
At that time, Xie Qiao’s eyes were filled with ghouls, so she did not notice anything.
After he met up with Xie Pinggang, Xie Pinggang said that there were some corpses of snakes and insects nearby, which was a bit strange. Only then did he confirm that there must be an ambush nearby.
It was already late at that time. Since the other party could guard them once, if they failed, there would be a second time. If Xie Qiao and Meng Jifang came alone next time, it would be dangerous. Therefore, they stayed on the spot to guard.
Xie Pinggang and Zhou Weizong’s martial arts skills were quite good. They did not dare to stay too far away from the Crown Prince. So far, they did not look defeated.
Xiao Yurong, Sang You, and even Jiang Jinlu did not stay idle at the moment.
Although they were scholars, they knew a little bit of swordsmans.h.i.+p. They learned it so that they could protect themselves when they were traveling.
They had their swords in the carriage, so they took them out now. However, they were relatively small, and rus.h.i.+ng forward was equivalent to throwing their lives away. They knew that they had to be obedient and approach Xie Qiao’s carriage to protect her, the Eldest Senior Sister. They had to make sure that her surroundings were watertight!
These black-clothed people also knew that they could not continue fighting, and they risked their lives to kill Zhao Xuanjing.
Seeing that several people were surrounding him, Xie Qiao aimed directly and released an arrow!
There seemed to be a sound of an arrow piercing one’s flesh.
A person fell down directly.
The three junior brothers, who were all at the window, glanced at her at this moment.
“Eldest Senior Sister, great archery skill!” Jiang Jinlu could not help but admire her.
“It’s impossible to count on us to save the Crown Prince. Everyone just needs to ensure their own safety. We can’t drag the Crown Prince down,” Xie Qiao said.
They all nodded.
Zhou Weizong and Xie Pinggang were guarding the Crown Prince. Most of the battle strength was there. Unless it was time for them to fight to the death, they would not be able to join in the fun. If they could not win and fell into the other party’s hands, that would not be helpful.
Just as Xie Qiao finished speaking, two men in black seemed to have noticed Xie Qiao holding a bow. They began to think about getting rid of the threat, which was her, so they rushed forward.
Not only that, another group of people ran over from the bushes. This time, there were quite a number of people!
Everyone’s expressions turned grim.
Xie Qiao’s brows were furrowed tightly, and she was somewhat worried.
On the other side, Ms. Cai was hiding in another carriage. She did not move as if she did not exist. It was pitch-black inside the carriage, and those people did not seem to have seen her.
“How dare someone be so audacious to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Crown Prince! I’m afraid they came prepared. These people are not afraid of death. They should be death warriors… Today, unless we kill all of them, I’m afraid we won’t be able to escape…” Xiao Yurong thought for a while. “We will go quickly and block them for Your Highness. We will try to buy time for Your Highness to escape!”
After Xiao Yurong said that, Sang You and Jiang Jinlu nodded at the same time without any hesitation.
