Chapter 1884: Lure the tiger away from the mountain

"Stop!"

Seeing the man covered in blood, a general stepped out of the army stationed outside Zhao Qi's temporary residence and stopped him.

"Help! Help!"

The eunuch did not stop at the general's words, but continued to run towards the army, and at the same time, he kept asking for help.

"I told you to stop!" The general shouted again: "You are not allowed to get close to here! Go away!"

However, the eunuch still ran towards this side, as if he did not hear the general's shout.

"If you get closer, don't blame us for being rude!" The general spoke again, and there was a bit of murderous intent in his words.

Although there was only one person coming, this person was obviously not a normal person. For the sake of safety, he would not let the other party get close to the mansion.

"Help! Go and save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The eunuch cried out again, his voice was quite urgent, and his words were full of anxiety.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

The general who was about to issue the killing order was stunned.

At this moment, the eunuch covered in blood had already run in front of everyone. He fell to the ground and shouted: "Go and save His Royal Highness, someone is assassinating His Royal Highness!"

"What's going on? Who is assassinating His Royal Highness?" the general asked.

"I don't know who they are. There are many of them. The guards around His Royal Highness will not be able to hold on. Go and save His Royal Highness." The eunuch said to everyone. ŴŴŴ.biQuPai.coM

"But our mission is to protect the princess of Yanfeng Country. Without the order of His Majesty, we can't leave here." The general hesitated.

"Then His Royal Highness!" The eunuch roared: "If His Royal Highness has any accident, His Majesty will know that you don't save him and will definitely hold you accountable!"

The eunuch's words made the people around him more hesitant.

Indeed, if they knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been assassinated and did not go to rescue him, His Majesty would definitely blame them.

But they had received an order from Jin Zheyun before that they could not leave here under any circumstances without his order.

Now, everyone was in a dilemma.

At this time, the fighting in the distance became more intense, and the eunuch who fell to the ground looked more anxious: "What are you still hesitating about?! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets into trouble, none of you will be able to escape, and His Majesty will definitely chop off your heads!"

Hearing his words, everyone became more hesitant, and several generals looked at each other and quickly made a decision.

"Zhao Yang, you stay here to guard. No one is allowed to approach here before we come back, understand?" The general who just spoke said to another general.

"I understand." Zhao Yang bowed his hands and said solemnly.

The general nodded, and then said to the eunuch: "Come on, take us there!"

The eunuch climbed up with difficulty, and with the help of two soldiers, he led everyone to the direction of the fighting.

In an instant, the troops outside Zhao Qi's temporary residence were reduced by half.

Because the prince was assassinated, and the eunuch also said that there were many assassins, the general who led the rescue team took most of the people here. What he thought in his heart was to rescue the prince as soon as possible and then rush back quickly. If he brought fewer people, he might not be able to beat those assassins, and even if he could beat them, it would take too long.

So, more people must be brought.

"Everyone, stay alert!" After everyone left, Zhao Yang ordered with a serious face.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and their faces became more vigilant.

However, at this moment, several sharp whistles suddenly came, and then several soldiers fell to the ground.

Zhao Yang saw this scene and immediately reacted: "It's a crossbow arrow! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for battle! Form a battle formation!"

Before everyone formed a formation, several crossbow arrows flew over, and the sharp crossbow arrows took the lives of several soldiers.

At the same time, a group of men in black appeared in the field of vision of Zhao Yang and others. These people rushed towards them with sharp weapons.

Seeing these men in black, Zhao Yang's eyebrows jumped.

Falling in a trap!

Obviously, they were caught in the opportunity to lure the tiger away from the mountain. At the moment, these people should be in the same group as the assassins of the prince. Their real target is not the prince, but the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom in this courtyard!

However, it seems too late to understand now. Their comrades have gone far away, and there are not as many people left as these men in black.

"Kill them, don't let them enter this mansion!" Zhao Yang shouted, and rushed towards the men in black first.

The rest of the people followed Zhao Yang and charged at the men in black together.

The people sent to protect Zhao Qi were all elite. Even though the current situation was very unfavorable to them, they did not panic at all, let alone fear. Under Zhao Yang's command, they decisively launched a counterattack against the men in black.

The two sides soon fought together, and the battlefield instantly became white-hot, with people falling every second.

But soon, the situation on the battlefield became obvious:

The men in black had an absolute upper hand!

After the two sides fought, Zhao Yang was horrified to find that these black-clad people in front of him not only had more people than them, but also were not weaker than them in terms of individual combat power. In this way, the outcome of the battle was predictable.

"Damn it! Who are these people? Why are they so strong?!" Zhao Yang roared in his heart.

This was obviously an organized and premeditated attack, and these people in front of him were obviously not ordinary people. Zhao Yang couldn't figure out why there were so many masters lurking in Tianxing City, and their weapons were not ordinary. Why didn't the city defense army find them early, and how did they hide at ordinary times?

Unfortunately, anger did not help Zhao Yang change the situation on the battlefield. The battle was still one-sided. There were fewer and fewer people around Zhao Yang, and he himself had multiple wounds, and the battle became more and more critical.

Finally, the injured Zhao Yang was stabbed from behind without checking, and his feet staggered. Before he could stabilize his body again, a long sword pierced his body directly from the front.

"Uh" Zhao Yang paused, and then two more long swords pierced through his body from behind.

Plop! When the three swords left Zhao Yang's body, Zhao Yang's body fell heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open, obviously dying with his eyes open.

The group of black-clothed men didn't even look at him. After killing him, they immediately surrounded the rest of the people. Soon, all of Zhao Yang's men were killed.
