Chapter 255: Danger in the Snow
Gu Xiyan went to help him up after hearing that. Gu Yi waved his hands again and again, "Young Master, you stay with the Pavilion Master. Just let Zhang Ding help me down."
Without waiting for Gu Xiyan's agreement, he stretched his neck and called Zhang Ding who was sitting outside the carriage, "Come in quickly."
Zhang Ding hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in, supported Gu Yi, and carried him out of the carriage.
The atmosphere between the two of them became more silent.
The wind and snow were so strong that King Rui simply ordered everyone to rest and wait until the snow stopped before leaving.
Yao Jia had been stuck in the carriage for too long and wanted to get off to stretch her muscles.
Just as he stood up, a sharp arrow came flying through the air, pierced through the curtain and shot straight into the carriage.
Gu Xiyan was quick to pull her back. The arrow just grazed her cheek and hit the couch behind her with a thud.
Yao Jia stood there in a daze, forgetting to react for a moment.
Gu Xiyan held her tightly in his arms, his eyes wide open with lingering fear.
"Are you OK?"
Yao Jia shook her head, then raised her hand to touch her cheek, and felt a burning pain where the arrow had grazed her.
Still in shock, he looked back and saw the arrow on the couch.
If it weren’t for Gu Xiyan, this arrow would have pierced her head.
Gu Xiyan quickly let go of her, raised his hand and gently touched her cheek, his eyes full of self-blame and pity.
"Does it hurt?"
Yao Jia frowned slightly, turned her head to avoid his hand, and shook her head, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
Looking in the direction where the arrows came from, I saw several figures looming in the snow ahead, and then several more arrows were shot towards the convoy.
"Be careful!" Yao Jia warned loudly.
Gu Xiyan protected her tightly behind him, raised his hand to draw the long sword beside him, and blocked the arrows one by one.
Not far away, King Rui also heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air. When he was about to ask, he saw his personal soldiers falling down one after another, and the snow was stained with blood.
Nanshan immediately flew out of the carriage, saying "Protect the prince" and leaped towards Yaojia.
The personal soldiers rushed forward with shields in hand, surrounding the carriage tightly.
At the same time, arrows shot towards the carriage like a swarm of locusts.
Gu Xiyan protected Yao Jia, waved his sword to block the rain of arrows, and pulled her out of the carriage to escape.
Not far from the carriage, several figures were looming in the snow and approaching this side.
"Hurry up!" Gu Xiyan pushed her behind him and rushed towards the figures with sword in hand.
Yao Jia was pushed by him and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
As soon as he stood firm, he saw a dark shadow approaching him.
She quickly raised her hand, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and threw it towards the dark shadow.
The man groaned and fell to the ground.
The white snow in the sky and the blood splashed during the fight intertwined to form a thrilling picture. Yao Jia tightly grasped the sword in his hand, his heart beating like a drum.
The personal soldiers fought hard against the attackers. Although they were outnumbered, most of them were wounded after being hit by the rain of arrows.
Gu Xiyan stabbed an assassin to death with a sword, and blocked the attack of the assassin behind him. He caught a glimpse of Yao Jia still standing there, and shouted at her, "Hurry up and find a place to hide!"
At this moment, a man in black broke free from Gu Xiyan's entanglement and rushed towards Yao Jia.
Gu Xiyan's heart tightened, and just as he was about to pull away, he was scratched on his arm.
Yao Jia's eyes turned slightly cold, she rolled over to avoid the attack, and stabbed the assassin's chest with her sword.
Then a white figure passed by and repelled another assassin.
Yao Jia looked back and saw that it was Nanshan.
He held a long sword in his hand and pursed his lips tightly. When he saw the blood mark on Yao Jia's face, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Just as he was about to speak, another assassin attacked him.
Nanshan had no time to care about her and protected her behind him, "There's a big tree over there, hide quickly."
Yao Jia took the opportunity to step aside and found that these men in black were not very skilled in martial arts and were not coming to take their lives, but rather to delay them.
Suddenly he thought of something and shouted to the two men, "Don't fight any longer, go and save King Rui!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed to the front of King Rui's carriage with sword in hand, and found that dozens of well-trained men in black were besieging King Rui's carriage.
There were many arrows stuck in the carriage and the situation was critical.
The guards fought hard, but they were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of force, and many of them fell.
When Gu Xiyan and Nanshan heard Yao Jia's cry, they immediately broke away from the assassins and rushed towards King Rui's carriage.
Nanshan chopped off an assassin's knife with one hand, pulled Yaojia behind him with his other hand, and looked at the enemies around him vigilantly.
Gu Xiyan stared closely at the men in black who were besieging the carriage, looking for an opportunity to break through.
Suddenly, a man in black jumped out from the back of the carriage and flew towards the carriage with a dagger in his hand.
Yao Jia was shocked when she saw this, and just when she was about to rush over, she was held tightly by Nanshan.
"Don't move!"
Over there, Gu Xiyan had already swung his sword towards the man in black.
With a flash of sword light, the man in black was pushed back several steps, but the dagger was still tightly held in his hand, staring at the carriage with a cold look.
Nanshan took the opportunity to pull Yaojia around to the other side of the carriage, trying to find a chance to rescue King Rui in the carriage.
The men in black seemed to be prepared. Every time they tried to approach the carriage, new men in black would appear to block them.
The battle became more intense, blood dyed the snow red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Yao Jia gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, her palms sweating. The martial arts of these men in black were obviously much better than the group of people who had just killed her. Even Gu Xiyan had a hard time dealing with them.
If this continues, they will surely die.
Just when the situation became increasingly critical, a loud "bang" was heard from not far away.
Then a man in black fell to the ground.
Everyone looked back.
Gu Yi was walking towards this side holding a shotgun, followed by several personal soldiers also carrying shotguns.
Yao Jia was overjoyed, "Quick, use the musket!"
Gu Yi immediately raised his shotgun and aimed it at the men in black who were besieging the carriage.
With a few loud bangs, several more men in black fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the remaining men in black retreated and confronted them.
Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to rush to the carriage, chopped open the door with a sword, and looked inside.
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Fengyi struggled to push away the corpse of the eunuch in front of him who was acting as a human shield.
He covered his chest, leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, and breathed slightly. Blood flowed out from between his fingers, staining his palms red.
"I'm fine." He looked up at Gu Xiyan with a firm gaze, "Keep going, don't stop."
Gu Xiyan nodded, turned around and said to the other guards: "You escort His Highness and the other members of the delegation to the post station first, and leave this to us."
Then he shouted to Zhang Ding who was not far away: "Hurry up and drive the carriage. Be sure to protect the brothers in the carriage."
Zhang Ding received the military order and did not dare to delay. He jumped onto the carriage, flicked the whip in his hand, and drove forward.
The rest of the guards mounted their horses, secured the carriages tightly, and galloped away.
Seeing this, the men in black immediately launched an attack, trying to stop them from moving forward.
Gu Xiyan brandished his sword and stepped forward, and together with a few of his trusted aides, he engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.
Gu Yi held a shotgun and shot at the men in black from time to time to buy time for them.
Nanshan pulled Yaojia forward, but was thrown away by her.
"I can't leave..."
How could she abandon her comrades and run away before all the enemies were slaughtered?
He turned around and rushed towards Gu Xiyan, swinging his sword and fighting with a man in black.
Nanshan frowned, unsheathed his sword, drew a huge formation on the snow, stepped forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared in a white light.
But in a moment, a white shadow flashed back and forth in front of several men in black. In an instant, scratches appeared on the necks of all the men in black. Then blood gushed out like a blood mist, dyeing the snow in the sky red. They fell to the ground one after another, dead.
At this time, Nanshan's figure returned to the magic circle.
The plain white robe was already stained with blood, like plum blossoms falling on the branches, adding a bit of sadness.
Everyone was stunned where they were, their mouths wide open in shock at this surprising scene.
Only Yao Jia looked at Nanshan with admiration.
He actually knew how to use the teleportation array! And he had mastered it to such an extreme level.
