SFS Chapter 206 Assassination
Chapter 206 Assassination
The Jiang family's carriage was like a flash of lightning, and it quickly drove away from the solemn and solemn palace gate. From the gate of this towering palace to the Jiang family's mansion, there were five busy and bustling streets in between. Along the way, Jiang Ying rode a snow-white horse with a sturdy figure, and walking side by side with him was the equally heroic Jiang Bu. The rest of the Jiang family sat safely in the beautifully decorated carriage, among which Jiang Li accompanied the gentle and virtuous Xie Lan, and Jiang Xing respectfully served beside the highly respected Master Jiang.
Although the road seemed calm, everyone present remained highly alert and did not dare to slack off. As they gradually approached Jiang's house and only the last street was left, the atmosphere around them suddenly became unusually quiet. This silence seemed to have an invisible pressure, making people feel inexplicably nervous.
Jiang Ying was keenly aware of the abnormality. He subconsciously tightly grasped his spear, which he had placed in the carriage before entering the palace. He scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes. At the same time, Jiang Bu tightly grasped the sword at his waist. The two of them were like cheetahs ready to attack, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. Even Jiang Xing, who was in the carriage, cautiously lifted the curtain and looked out.
At this moment, Jiang Li, out of curiosity, could not hold back her inner urge and wanted to stick her head out to see what was happening outside. However, just as she was about to stand up, Xie Lan, who was standing by, was quick to stop her and gently reminded her, "Sister, don't be anxious. Wait patiently."
"Third brother, you quickly go to the back of the carriage to guard, I will lead the way!" Jiang Ying looked solemn, his eyes quickly glanced around. At this moment, except for the swaying, weak and dim candlelight on the carriage, the whole world seemed to be plunged into a thick darkness, and it was difficult to see anything. But with years of experience and intuition, Jiang Ying knew that there must be a large number of enemies hidden in the depths of this darkness.
In a flash, there was a burst of rapid breaking wind. Then, more than a dozen figures in black night clothes rushed out from all directions like ghosts. Wow! The number of these black-clothed men far exceeded the expectations of Jiang Ying and others. Without saying a word, they launched a fierce attack on the carriages with sharp blades in hand, especially the carriage at the front of the team, in which sat Xie Lan and Jiang Li.
Jiang Ying held the gleaming spear tightly in both hands, stretched it across his body, and stopped a man in black who was rushing towards him aggressively. However, what was worrying was that there were so many men in black surrounding the carriage, surging in waves like a tide, as if endless.
At this critical moment, Jiang Bu stepped forward without hesitation, quickly came to Jiang Ying's side, and fought side by side with him. Jiang Xing, who was in the carriage, was also extremely anxious. She opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage lightly, and stood firmly on the carriage with the driver.
You know, these drivers of the Jiang family are not ordinary people. They are all veterans who fought bravely on the battlefields of the Xie family army. Later, they had to retire from the army due to injuries. Fortunately, the kind-hearted Xie Bian generously took them in and arranged them to serve as servants in the Xie family or the Jiang family according to the actual situation.
At this moment, Master Jiang, who was sitting in the carriage, was filled with worry. He was concerned about whether his wife and daughter in the carriage ahead were safe and sound. However, his sense of responsibility as the head of the family made him realize that he must not get off the carriage easily at this moment, otherwise he would be distracted and the situation would become increasingly out of control.
As time went by, the attacks of the men in black were repeatedly frustrated, and they could not break through the defense line of the carriage in front. In anger, several of the men in black changed their strategy and turned to rush towards the carriage where Master Jiang was. Although Jiang Ying and Jiang Bu fought hard, they could not take care of everything at once in the face of so many fierce enemies. They watched helplessly as the men in black jumped onto the carriage and started a fierce fight with Jiang Xing and others.
At this critical moment, suddenly, the dark guards who had been hiding in the dark came up quickly like ghosts. It turned out that these dark guards had been quietly following the Jiang family's gorgeous carriage, always keeping a certain distance and guarding silently. When they saw the black-clothed man launching a fierce attack on the Jiang family, they did not hesitate to throw themselves into this fierce battle.
It must be said that the martial arts displayed by these secret guards are completely different from those of the Jiang brothers. The martial arts of the Jiang brothers were all taught by the master specially invited by Xie Bian, and their style is more focused on defense and self-protection to deal with various dangerous situations that may arise. However, the martial arts of the secret guards are known for being fast, accurate, and ruthless. They attack like lightning, and each move is aimed at killing the enemy as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly. The black-clad men who had originally had the upper hand began to feel the pressure doubled, because the addition of these well-trained secret guards put them in a difficult situation. Although the black-clad men's moves were quite martial arts, they gradually seemed to be unable to cope with the fierce attacks of the secret guards.
