Chapter eight hundred and nineteen: Jingxiang's death
The attack came suddenly and violently.
As the territory under Xu Fu became closer and closer, whether it was Jingxiang, Shi Hong or Tao Weizi, it became easier. They even went to get a carriage so that Jingxiang could travel more comfortably. Naturally, there was no need to leave the deserted mountains and remote ridges. They dressed up as a small caravan and walked on the official road in a swagger.
Shi Hong had sent a messenger to report to Xu Fu so that Xu Fu could send a team of men to welcome Jing Xiang. In short, they felt that they were almost out of danger. Calculate the time, at most one hour, Xu Fu's support troops would meet with them.
Everyone felt relieved. Jing Xiang in the carriage fell asleep in the thick bedding in the carriage because of his escape these days and his exhaustion.
The reason why accidents are called accidents is that they always come at times that you can't imagine.
More than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out from the weeds on both sides of the official road. The targets were clear, and the first thing they hit was the guards. The distance was too close and caught off guard. The seven or eight guards had almost no chance to react. The sharp crossbow arrows broke through their bodies and took away the vitality of their lives.
Dark Tao acted as the coachman to drive the car for Jingxiang. When the change broke out, he was not the first target, which made him immediately respond correctly while frightened.
Drive the carriage and run forward frantically.
His reaction made him drive the carriage and escape from the attack on both sides of the road. He took a quick look back and saw nearly twenty masked people emerged from the weeds on both sides of the road.
Shi Hong's rebel tip is no worse than Daddy Tao. The moment the crossbow was sounded, he had already subconsciously turned over and hid under the horse's belly. After hearing the whine of the war horse, he decisively abandoned the horse, rolled several times and escaped the consequences of being suppressed by the war horse. As soon as he stood up, he drew his sword in his hand and roared at the masked men.
He can't escape.
He wanted to cover up the blind Tao to escape in the carriage.
"Stop them!" Shi Hong, who was roaring, held the oncoming knife with his knife. When he was in a slump, he kicked his opponent into a rolling gourd, and then stood side by side with the only seven or eight remaining guards, blocking the official road tightly.
The next moment, the two sides had strangled together.
Comparison of 3 to 1 people.
After a moment of fighting, Shi Hong had a little bit of confidence, but was destroyed by his opponent bit by bit. These elite spies in the front office of the palace were all the best. Although only these were left, Shi Hong felt that there was a possibility of defeating the opponent at the beginning.
But the other party's skills were no worse than them at all. Soon, his helpers were chopped over to the ground one by one.
When did these people from the City Inspection Division run to them and set up an ambush here? Shi Hong was puzzled. These people are definitely from Chang'an, because when they were fighting, their inadvertent shouting and their echoes were all pure Chang'an accents.
The City Inspection Division has a team of good men recruited from Chang'an. Shi Hong has seen those people before.
Shi Hong stood on the road in despair and resisted. He knew that he had no way to live today. The only thing he could do was to earn a little more time for Dad Tao so that he could escape farther.
Dark Tao is experienced. If he can leave these people's sight, he may be able to survive the arrival of Xu Fu's team.
The carriage ran on the official road. The poor horse that pulled the carriage was whipped forward by blind Tao and desperately. White foam had already appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it couldn't last long.
It is worth it if you don’t have the heart to pity this horse, even if you run to death.
"Blind Tao, what happened?" Jing Xiang, who was awake in the carriage, was knocked to death. He grabbed the handrail tightly with both hands and asked loudly.
"The enemy attacks, Jingxiang, you have grasped it firmly, and the people from the City Inspection Division are catching up." Daddy Tao shouted loudly.
Go forward, faster, faster.
At the corner of the official road ahead, a tall horse came out leisurely. At the same time, a knight was wearing a helmet and armor, carrying a big knife on his shoulder, and blocked the center of the official road directly.
Dark Tao shouted loudly and pulled the reins hard. The slow horse neighed and tried hard to stop, but still slid forward for a long distance.
The sweat on Dark Tao's face fell down drop by drop, with the sea of fire behind and the mountain of swords in front. He turned his head and looked at both sides of the official road, and felt a chill in his heart. It was impossible. The first thing on both sides of the official road were some discarded ditches, and it was impossible for the carriage to pass through.
There is only one way out.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Dark Tao urged the reins of the horse. Although the horse was a little reluctant, he ran forward after being whipped heavily. Almost at the same time, the knight on the opposite side also began to accelerate.
Dark Tao quietly took out the crossbow on his waist.
The two sides quickly approached, and Dark Tao suddenly raised his crossbow.
He felt that he was quite sure. This kind of crossbow is extremely rare in the north. Ordinary crossbows can only shoot one at a time, but the crossbow he had obtained at a high price can shoot three crossbow arrows in a row. As long as one succeeds, he can escape from the sky.
His fingers squeezed the trigger hard.
The result was inexplicably frightened.
The opponent seemed to know his methods very well, and he avoided him sideways, raised his sword and flew away, and easily let the three crossbow arrows shot in a row land in the air.
Seeing the opponent's big sword holding high flashing cold light, Dad Tao jumped up suddenly and fell from the galloping carriage to the ground. After connecting a few rolls on the ground, the person had already reached the weeds on the side of the official road. His calf exerted force, and he thrust hard, and he rushed to the distance with a desperate situation.
Respect yourselves, I'm sorry, I've tried my best. Now I can't save you, so I can only save my life first.
The knight glanced at the direction of the escape of blind Tao in surprise, and the weeds fell down one after another. The guy's reaction was first-class and he was worthy of being the leader of the underworld. He could not do anything at all when he saw things, and made a quick decision without any delay.
But he just glanced at it. For him, it didn't matter if Dad Tao died, and it didn't matter if he ran away.
The big sword fell with the sound of the wind.
With the loud noise, the entire carriage was shattered, and Jingxiang fell to the ground in a mess. The crossbow horse was free because of this. When he twisted his waist, he actually got off the official road and rushed into the weeds.
Jingxiang held a short blade in his hand and supported the ground with one hand, trying to stand up, but his body was filled with severe pain. He had just fallen from the running carriage and suffered serious injuries.
After struggling for a few times, he finally gave up, lay on the official road, looking up at the approaching knight. Not to mention that he is injured now, even if he is intact, how could he be the enemy of the warrior in front of him?
"Who are you?" Jing Xiang asked.
"Your Highness asked me to ask you for your goodbye." The knight immediately smiled and said.
"Fart!" Jing Xiang swears with a rare swear word: "You are not from the City Inspection Division, who are you?"
"Why can't I be a member of the City Inspection Division?" said the knight immediately. "As far as I know, the people of the City Inspection Division have been tracking you. Yang Honggui is only fifty miles away from you now."
"So you are from the north!" Jing Xiang finally figured it out. "Only you will think of me to die. Even if Zhu Youyu wants to catch me, he will not want to kill me."
"After all, Jingxiang is still Jingxiang. I figured out the truth so quickly!" The knight's voice gradually became colder: "But to tell you the truth, I am indeed from Chang'an. And I am a long-time guest from Chang'an."
He slowly took off the masked cloth and a hideous face appeared in front of Jing Xiang.
"Gao Xiangsheng!" Jing Xiang exclaimed in dismay.
"Everyone can punish the traitor and rebel minister." Gao Xiangsheng raised his big sword, "Jing Xiang, for the next life, be a good minister to save the world!"
The cold light flashed, and Jing Xiang's head flew high.
At this moment, all the great achievements and the reputations that have been passed down in history have become vain.
Gao Xiangsheng grabbed Jing Xiang's head, which was falling from the air, pulled a skin sac from behind the saddle, stuffed his bloody head in, and then rode his horse slowly forward.
The battle above the official road has ended, and masked people are holding the injured and carrying dead companions, coming towards us.
"All have been arranged?" Gao Xiangsheng asked.
"The site has been arranged. Shi Hong, as you told me, I took a breath."
"There is no flaw?"
"General Gao, are you still worried about me? I stabbed in the last knife after he was unable to resist. It was no matter what. No matter who it was, I would only think that this kid was lucky."
"Let's go!" Gao Xiangsheng smiled, "I have to leave some clues for Xu Fu's people to chase them all the way, and finally chase them to the name of the City Inspection Office."
The one across the street glanced at Gao Xiangsheng's skin on his horse: "I gave this gift to Yang Honggui, and I don't know if he was frightened or happy?"
"I'm afraid it's more scared." Gao Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Even if the Yellow River is not over, he can't clean the pot of blood that we poured on him this time."
A group of people quickly disappeared from here.
About half an hour later, a war horse came from afar. He turned over and dismounted on the side of Jing Xiang's headless corpse. After a moment of inspection, he was obviously extremely frightened. With a raised hand, a rocket soared into the sky and exploded in the air with a scream.
Immediately, the sound of horse hooves in the brigade came, and the leader was a middle-aged general with square face and thick eyebrows. This man was Xu Chong, the son of Xu Fu, and was ordered to lead the team to welcome Jing Xiang.
