Three Kingdoms' Great Agent

  "Rustle! Rustle!......"

  The wheels turned, and a horse-drawn carriage slowly moved along the road under the mountain of Yanlai Peak. The mountain road was rugged, and the speed of the horse-drawn carriage was not fast, and the black-clothed warriors holding large guns around could easily keep up.

  "Zhao Lian, where did you go?"

  A sharp and fine voice came from the carriage, like a woman's speech, but with a slightly rougher tone than a woman's voice.

  "Sir, we have arrived at Yanlai Peak and are still 13 miles away from Ye County. The road under Yanlai Peak is rugged and winding, with many hills and forests on both sides of the road. Due to the road conditions and to prevent bandit attacks, our speed has slowed down somewhat. Please forgive us. Once we have completed this section of the journey, I will immediately increase our pace."

  Zhao Lian pulled on the reins of his horse and came to a stop beside the carriage, answering respectfully.

  "I don't care about the road conditions, I'll rush at the fastest speed, and finish the task entrusted by my father as soon as possible. The sooner we complete it, the sooner we can return to Luoyang."

  A soft, gentle voice came again from the carriage.

  "Roger!"

  Zhao Lian's expression was helpless, he raised his head to look at all the warriors protecting the horse carriage, and shouted: "The adults have ordered, speed up the journey. Everyone, cheer up, after arriving in Ye County and seeing Ji Zhou Mu Han Fu, we can rest well."

  "Yes!"

  A clear voice echoed from among the warriors.

  "Zhang Chenggou, eunuch, deserves death!"

  Suddenly, a loud roar echoed from the mountain slope on the right side of the road.

  The sound was like thunder, echoing on both sides of the road.

  Zhao Lian's heart was on high alert, and he raised his head to gaze towards the mountain forest on his right side. In the instant he lifted his head, Zhao Lian felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed an intense crisis approaching from behind him. Hastily, Zhao Lian swung his large spear around, swiftly turning his body to strike out. With a loud crash, a feathered arrow that had been shot from afar was knocked flying.

  "Whoosh!"

  The sound of breaking through the air rang out once again.

  "Hmph!"

  The arrow shot out and directly hit the horse's head that was pulling the carriage. The arrowhead pierced through the brain, entering the skull, and warm, bright red blood immediately splattered everywhere. The warhorse shook its head, let out a few shrill neighs, and in an instant, its massive body went limp. The carriage lost balance and started shaking violently, and sharp cries of alarm immediately came from inside the carriage.

  Zhao Lian was shocked and hastily shouted: "Protect the master!"

  The black-clad warriors with large guns immediately surrounded the carriage to prevent it from being attacked again.

  Zhao Lian concentrated his mind and was on guard against a sneak attack.

  On the left side of the road, on the slope amidst the grass, Wang Lei's face was filled with regret. The first arrow had failed to kill Zhao Lan, what a pity. Beside Wang Lei were six brothers, all holding steel knives, their eyes showing a hint of fear, but more so a eagerness to try, they were all Wang Lei's trusted followers, normally following him in the county of Ye to cause trouble, this time however was a real fight with real swords.

  Wang Lei hid in the mountains, his eyes fixed on the burly man who rushed out from the right side of the mountain slope, with a look of surprise in his eyes. According to Wang Lei's plan, no one was holding back Zhang Chengjiu's black-clad warriors, and he had to take action himself. Now that a sturdy and handsome man suddenly appeared, he would surely attract the main force of Zhang Cheng's troops, relieving some of the pressure on Wang Lei.

  "Big brother, what should we do? Should we launch an attack immediately?"

  "No hurry, wait a bit longer."

  Wang Lei's gaze fell on the burly giant, his eyes full of expectation. If this man could kill Zhang Cheng, his mission would be accomplished without any effort.

  "Zhang Chenggou, eunuch, is sentenced to death!"

  The giant bellowed loudly, his voice echoing in the ears after it was heard.

  The giant wore a coarse linen garment, his thick eyebrows slanting into his temples, his eyes like bronze bells, with a black face and a full beard. At one glance, he gave off an aura of ferocity and ugliness. The giant took huge strides, dashing onto the official road in an instant. As he charged forward, the giant held two large iron spears in his left hand, while his right hand swiftly drew out a small spear from behind his back, letting out a low growl as he hurled it out.

  In the blink of an eye, the giant threw out eight small spears. Each spear was thrown out as fast as a thunderclap, like a dark light flashing in the air, and all hit the guards protecting Zhang Cheng.

  The sudden change disrupted Zhao Luan's plans.

  Zhao Lian raised his head and glanced at the mountain forest on the left slope, knowing that there were still people hiding in the dark without moving. He arranged for ten guards to protect Zhang Cheng who had just gotten out of the carriage, then urged his horse to look at the big man holding an iron spear, shouting: "Get out of the way and watch me kill the enemy!" Zhao Lian's legs clamped tightly on the horse's belly, and the warhorse shot out like an arrow leaving a bowstring, instantly charging forward.

  The giant rushed forward with a loud laugh, holding an iron spear in each hand and advancing fiercely.

  "Kill!!"

  Zhao Lian let out a loud battle cry and, borrowing the momentum of his warhorse's charge, suddenly thrust his large spear forward.

  "Come and die!"

  A giant stood on the ground like an old tree taking root, swinging his iron spear to meet him.

  "Bang!"

  The iron spear and the large gun collided, sparks splashed everywhere, and a massive force spread out from the impact. Zhao Lian felt an overwhelming power coming towards him, his gun shook violently, he couldn't even hold on to it, causing the large gun to fly out directly. Moreover, the tiger's mouth of his palm holding the gun handle was shattered, blood gushing out.

  Zhao Lian's heart was shocked and his gallbladder trembled, he hurriedly turned the horse's head and wanted to escape.

  "Fall down!"

  Han's steel teeth clenched tightly, his hair stood on end in anger, and his massive body crashed into the war horse.

  BOOM!!

  The war horse fell to the ground, and Zhao Lian got a face full of mud.

  At this moment, Zhao Lian's liver and gallbladder were both split open. Was the giant in front of him still human?

  "Come and die!"

  Juggernaut again fiercely drank, iron pike in hand ruthlessly smashed down.

  Zhao Lian was battered and bruised all over, but at the critical moment of life and death, he made a mighty roll and narrowly dodged the giant's spear thrust. Two black-clad warriors rushed up with their spears, barely parrying the giant's attack and saving Zhao Lian's life. Knowing he couldn't win, and that his own warriors were no match for the giant either, Zhao Lian immediately ordered: "Form ranks! Five men in a row, divided into two rows, steady pace, thrust forward!"

  Ten black-clad warriors rushed up, forming two rows in front and back.

  Zhao Lian's hands trembled slightly as he stood under the protection of the black-clad warriors, keeping watch on the left side of the mountain forest for any signs of archers. Seeing that two rows of warriors were unable to take down the giant in front of them and were even being suppressed, Zhao Lian made a swift decision and shouted again: "Six people go to the left, three in each row; six people go to the right, three in each row, settle it as quickly as possible!"

  At once, twelve more people rushed up.

  At this time, the black-clad warriors protecting Zhang Cheng and Zhao Lan had only a dozen or so people left. Wang Lei watched clearly from the hillside, seeing Zhao Lan calmly directing his warriors to counterattack and being vigilant against his surprise attack, involuntarily praising him in his heart. If Zhao Lan were to mess up his formation, things would be simple. But Zhao Lan was someone who understood military tactics, and the black-clad warriors by his side were all fierce veterans, so after a round of attacks, it was difficult for the giant who kept charging to break through in a short period of time.

  "It seems we have to take action now."

  Wang Lei took a deep breath and ordered: "Rolling Stone Attack!"

  "Yes!"

  Six people took immediate action, and in an instant, a loud rumbling sound was heard.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!

  Three irregularly-shaped boulders came crashing down, massive and unmatched in their momentum, hurtling straight towards the location where Zhao Lian and Zhang Cheng were. Zhao Lian's face changed drastically as he hastily shouted: "Quick, shield the lord and retreat!" Zhao Lian was also frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweat, hurrying to follow the warriors in retreating, but this sudden dash exposed Zhang Cheng's position.

  Wang Lei's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he picked up an arrow and placed it on the bowstring.

  "Got it!!"

  A low shout, the bow and arrow shot out, like a meteor chasing the moon, rushing straight at Zhang Cheng.

  "Hahaha!!"

  An arrow shot into his body, Zhang Cheng let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.

  Unfortunately, Wang Lei's face did not show a hint of joy. Although he hit Zhang Cheng, he didn't hit the vital point, only piercing his left chest. Seeing Zhao Lan and more than ten black-clad warriors quickly surround Zhang Cheng again, Wang Lei sighed in his heart, feeling that a great opportunity had been missed, which was truly regrettable. The three large boulders fell to the ground soon after, and the chance disappeared, Wang Lei's expression turned severe.

  However, Wang Lei had to kill Zhang Cheng.

  There is only one war!

  "That man is holding back Zhang Cheng's guard, we still have a chance, kill!"

  Wang Lei's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he charged out with his steel knife. Closely following him, the six brothers who had come with Wang Lei also rushed out with their steel knives, shouting as they ran towards Zhang Cheng at the foot of the mountain.
