Chapter 289: Surprised
Beside the road leading to the capital Anyi, a figure in black was quietly paying attention to everything happening around him.
There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and his expression was full of concentration. When the target appeared in his field of vision, a look of excitement immediately appeared in the man's eyes.
But even though his heart was filled with unrest, the man didn't make any move, he just stayed in place silently.
After completely calming down the turmoil in his heart and confirming that there was nothing abnormal about his body, the man quietly moved towards the back.
The speed increased with the passage of time, and soon there was a sound of the neighing of war horses.
After galloping for a period of time, the four hooves of the war horse gradually stopped, and he was seen jumping off the horse vigorously.
"Chief, here we come."
At this moment, there was no ups and downs in this man's words, and just like him, there was a deep and waveless expression on the face of the leader in black.
"knew."
After replying coldly, the leader in black turned his eyes to the other side. At this moment, hundreds of dead soldiers in black were standing in front of him.
The reason they came here today was because they were ordered by their master to take a man's life.
His eyes swept over the faces of these subordinates, and without too much nonsense, the leader in black gave the order coldly.
"Set off."
"Here."
…
On the road, in the bumpy carriage carriage, Wei Hou Wei Feng and his Prime Minister Gongsun Qi sat next to each other.
Putting down the bamboo slips he was holding, Wei Feng's eyes gently turned to Gongsun Qi who was aside. A hint of interest suddenly appeared in Wei Feng's eyes.
"Does the Prime Minister think that the reform that is happening in Wei State now will be successful?"
"sure."
Facing the question asked by Wei Feng, Gongsun Qi blurted out the answer in his heart almost without thinking.
Gongsun Qi answered so quickly, which immediately aroused Wei Feng's curiosity.
"Why?"
This question was also answered quickly, and a smile appeared on the corner of Gongsun Qi's mouth.
"Because Your Majesty, because I know that Your Majesty will definitely be able to complete this reform."
Gongsun Qi did not give any detailed and reliable reasons, but Wei Feng was very satisfied with the answer.
A smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the look he looked at Gongsun Qi was even more cordial.
But it seemed that some people didn't want to see the harmonious atmosphere between monarch and ministers in the carriage. A burst of rapid shouting suddenly came from outside.
"Protect your Majesty, Prime Minister!"
When this voice sounded in their ears, the expressions of the two people who were smiling just now immediately changed, and seriousness became the dominant expression on their faces.
"Xiang Guo, it seems that there are still some people who don't want to see this change succeed."
Just when Wei Feng expressed these emotions, the atmosphere outside the carriage was no longer so peaceful.
When the sharp arrows shot from both sides were like signals announcing the coming attack, the Wei soldiers present immediately acted instinctively.
Almost instantly, huge oars were erected, establishing a reliable perimeter defense for the entire team.
At the same time, Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi were moved from the carriage to the team to prevent sudden arrows from threatening them.
As the imperial guards to protect the safety of the Marquis of Wei, this team of more than a hundred soldiers perfectly demonstrated their elite qualities and formed a defensive phalanx immediately.
It's just that the elite guards beside Wei Feng are also well prepared for the attackers.
Almost at the same time that the defensive formation had just taken shape, hundreds of dead soldiers in black appeared in everyone's sight.
"Protect your Majesty, Prime Minister!"
With another order, the entire team immediately entered a fighting state, with only solemnity on everyone's face.
The vibrating sound of crossbows first sounded in the square formation, and sharp arrows flew out with the sound of breaking through the air.
When these sharp arrows fell, the sharp arrow clusters penetrated the flesh and blood, followed by a miserable wailing sound.
If others hear these wailing sounds, they will inevitably feel some discomfort in their hearts.
It's just that these dead soldiers dressed in black seem to be cold-blooded machines with no emotions at all. They are almost rushing forward against the defense line formed by arrows.
A moment later, relying on their numerical superiority, these dead men in black rushed in front of the Wei army like a huge black wave.
Facing the huge black wave that had already arrived in front of them, the Wei soldiers held the halberds in their hands tighter.
The brutal battle between the two sides began from this moment on.
…
"kill!"
An angry roar came out of his chest, and the sharp sword pierced the opponent's chest, and a stream of blood suddenly spattered out.
Without any hesitation, the Wei soldier quickly drew out the long sword. At this moment, he had no time to hesitate, because another long sword had already stabbed him.
The long sword exuded a cold light, and the halberd blade shimmered with light, and one figure after another fell down in the fight between the two sides.
Relying on their numerical advantage, the black-clad soldiers seemed to have the initiative on the entire battlefield.
However, the guards of the Wei Palace are also very powerful, and they can even face enemies several times their size without falling behind.
It was under the protection of these people that Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi received the safest protection.
Standing not far from the battlefield, seeing that his side clearly had the advantage in surprise attacks and numbers but was still unable to make any progress, the leader in black frowned involuntarily.
Looking at the figures falling in front of him, and remembering his master's order before leaving, the leader in black slowly pulled out the sword from his waist with his right hand.
A faint light appeared on the sword, and a cold light appeared in his eyes. The leader in black had made up his mind at this moment.
"Owner……"
After a meaningful soliloquy, the black-clothed leader held a sword and led all the remaining dead soldiers into the battlefield.
In the long period that followed, anxiety became the mainstream between the two sides. This battle that took place in the northeast of Anyi seemed to be difficult to determine the winner for a while.
Until, a turning point appears.
"kill!"
The cry of killing rang out not far away, and the leader in black immediately changed his face when he heard this sound.
Those who appear here at this time are probably enemies rather than friends.
Without any hesitation, the leader in black immediately raised his sword and issued the final order to his subordinates.
"Come and kill with me!"
The leader in black knew very well that today's operation might have failed, but he was willing to try again one last time.
Even the price this time may be his own life.
Chapter completed!
