Chapter 194: The Assassination
In Huayin County, Guanzhong, when the wind and snow had just stopped, two carriages slowly walked west along Guchi Road, accompanying about twenty cavalry, protecting them around the carriage.
Wheel! Wheel!
Crack! Crack!
Ji Ping was lying in the carriage, feeling her body was bumped gently, her whole body was sore and fever, her mouth was dry and her tongue was dry, and her headache was about to break.
A hint of cold wind blew, and the biting coldness made Ji Ping's mind gradually clear. He wanted to move his body, but he felt his hands and feet stiff and his chest was even more slight throbbing.
The pain in his chest made his mind clear.
Ji Ping remembered that he was ambushed on the way home, and was shot in a chest with an arrow, the arrow was poisoned and he was dizzy and unconscious.
This time he returned to Hedong from Qingzhou, accompanied the twenty-eight star guards, passed by Hanoi on the 8th day of the lunar month, stayed in Huai County for one day, and talked with Liu Bei about the implementation of policies such as the Hanoi Treasury Tax Law School, believing that Liu Bei had made too much concessions in dealing with the resistance of the aristocratic families.
They left Hanoi in the early morning of the 9th day of the lunar month and arrived in Dayang County at dusk. They had just passed Sanmen Mountain and the group was at their most tired time, but suddenly they were ambushed, with three or four hundred light knights surrounded them from all sides.
Ji Ping was stunned. The place where he was buried was not far from Maojin Ferry in Dayang County. It was the place where the Hedong Army was heavily guarded. How could such a large-scale ambush occur?
He speculated at the first time that there was a change in Dayang County! And it was the most terrifying rebellion of the garrison!
Four names flashed through his mind in the blink of an eye:
Dayang Order Xun Ji! Mingyi Captain Han Xian! Sima Zhao Lei from another unit! Army Sima Jia Ji!
Xun Ji, Zhao Lei and Jia Ji did not have the power to fully control the Dayang garrison, so only Han Xian! The slightly sinister face flashed through his mind.
He didn't like Han Xian. Historically, this person was capricious and had no loyalty. However, from the perspective of stabilizing the tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers and generals in Baibo, he still appointed Han Xian, but he also sent Zhao Lei and Jia Ji as constraints, but he didn't expect something happened.
There is no doubt that the consequences of the Han Xian rebellion are terrible, especially at this moment. Twenty-nine people faced three to four hundred dead soldiers waiting for their hard work, and the terrible speculations of the Han Xian rebellion made Ji Ping choose to break through without hesitation, and to break through to the south of Mangshan and Guanzhong in the west!
The Twenty-Eight Star Guards are twenty-eight top experts selected from the shadow department of the Ghost Shadow Guard and the Women's Guard in the Tiger Camp. They can be said to be one in a thousand. Whether it is fighting or making a move, they are all elite among the elite.
It was Wei Yueyan in the Star Guard who discovered an abnormality when approaching the enemy's ambush circle. Twenty-eight people quickly prepared to withstand the most dangerous first wave of arrow rain.
One step is the scene where thousands of arrows gather! Ji Ping still feels a little scared when he thinks about it now.
After avoiding the first wave of arrows, he quickly ordered the southwest to break through. Twenty-nine people mixed together and quickly divided into two groups. One group of twenty-four people went straight to Mangshan. Ji Ping and the four guards of Yuezi rushed westward to Guanzhong, pretending to panic. This is one of the emergency projects for the training of the personal guard camp, because in a critical situation, the assassins would most likely think that the main general was hidden in the large team and ignore the small team that fled.
Sure enough, nearly 80% of the dead soldiers chased the twenty-four star guards of Mangshan. Only seventy or eighty people chased Ji Ping and the five people who fled to Guanzhong, which immediately reduced Ji Ping's pressure. As long as he was not trapped in a heavy siege, he was confident in dealing with these pursuit assassins.
The four star guards who followed Ji Ping were the heart moon fox Weiyueyan Zhang Yuelu and Bi Yuewu of the Yue character group. On the way to chase and escape, Ji Ping and the four guards repeatedly eliminated nearly twenty dead soldiers who were chasing each other.
At the same time, they also found that all these dead soldiers were rangers and assassins who were selected from a hundred miles away, almost comparable to Shi's Shadow Master. I don't know who gathered together, and they all had many tricks. They had rich assassination experience and were fearless. Several dead soldiers even had their skills to catch up with the twenty-eight star guards, following them very closely, like a thorn on their backs.
Moreover, the two of the dead soldiers had very terrifying archery skills, cautious and cunning, experienced, and kept hanging behind and firing cold arrows. Ji Ping and the four personal guards set up a few traps but failed. Instead, the five people suffered some wounds, exhausted, and gradually fell into the wind.
When they fled to the vicinity of Jinjin, it was already dark, and only in the snow could see shadows. On the way, Ji Ping and the other two wanted to go to Hebei County north at night several times, but they didn't expect there were ambushes on the north side of the river. There were countless people in the dark, so they had no choice but to go west along Mangshan on the south side of the river.
Fortunately, on the way, the Kang Jinlong Ghost Jinyang Lou Jingou and Niu Jinniu who had previously led the thief into Mangshan came by detour and attacked more than a dozen dead soldiers, which made Ji Ping and others breathe a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, the chasing dead soldiers were more cautious. Ji Ping and the nine men had already slid on the river for nearly 300 miles since the early morning. They were extremely tired, and the situation became worse and worse.
When passing a mountain pass on the way, the four guards of Jinxing took Bi Yuewu, who was seriously injured, and entered Mangshan again in separate ways, and led more than 30 death warriors to chase after him. At this time, there were only twenty death warriors behind Ji Ping and the other two, but there was also a small leader who was proficient in shooting skills, who fired cold arrows from time to time, which made Ji Ping and the other four nervous at all times and could not get any relaxation.
When entering the river section of Huayin County and approaching the corner of the Yellow River, the four Mu Xing guards who had entered Mangshan had escaped and caught up from behind, attacked Ji Ping and the other four, and attacked more than ten dead soldiers. The remaining ten dead soldiers dispersed in an unexpected situation.
Kui Mulang and Jiao Mujiao each captured a dead soldier and found that there was no ambush in the north. Ji Ping forced the four guards of Muxing to rush to Mangshan to support other Xingsuwei, and he took Yu's three guards of Yue to Puban County.
I didn't expect that I would encounter a tragic encounter on the way north to the big players of Dong Zhuo Qiang and Hu soldiers! I couldn't see how many people were in the dark, but from the situation, it was an encounter rather than an ambush.
But there is no doubt that the results are the same.
Seeing the Qiang and Hu soldiers shouting and chasing him, Ji Ping and the three guards turned around and fled south. Unexpectedly, the disaster did not go alone. On the way south, he was attacked by the archer and death warrior who had escaped before, hit Ji Ping's chest.
"The arrow is poisonous..." Ji Ping felt his chest numb, and he was spinning, and he lost consciousness.
Overnight, I wandered between life and death several times, and I didn't expect that I could survive the disaster.
"Where are you now? Where is the carriage heading? Who is driving?"
Listening to the dull and rhythmic sound of horse hooves outside the car, Ji Ping exclaimed the depression in his chest, and reached out to touch the arrow in his chest.
The wound was wrapped in thick gauze, which emitted the smell of medicine. He remembered that it was a common antidote made by Zuo Cipe. He was carried with him. As for the bandage, it should be bandaged by Yuewei. The wound emitted a little smell of strong wine, which was obviously sterilized. This was also the healing method passed by Ji Ping to his personal guards. He was always with swords and guns, and each star guard carried the commonly used items to treat wounds.
Fortunately, he was wearing soft armor inside, and his clothes were thick in winter, and the arrows were not deep into the flesh. Otherwise, the position of the arrow alone would be enough to kill him.
He touched the carriage again, and the windows on both sides were tightly covered with thick cloth. The curtains in front were also made of thick felt cloth. He was covered with thick cotton mattresses. In such a cold weather, only a slight breeze penetrated in. The car was arranged so carefully that it seemed that his situation was not bad now.
Ji Ping protected the wound with one hand and sat up slowly. He still felt sore and exerted force all over his body, and the headache was about to break, which should be the remaining symptoms of arrow poison.
Just as I was about to pick up the curtain to see what was happening outside, the curtain suddenly opened from outside, and the carriage suddenly lit up, accompanied by a cold air.
"Ah, young master, you're awake, it's great." A voice full of joy.
Ji Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly adapted to the light. A beautiful face came into his eyes. It was the heart moon fox among the four guards of the word "Moon". (To be continued.)
