Chapter 20 Assassination (2) Section 72

  The old man still smiled and said: "Very good, very good!" Liu Xie was confused by him, smiled slightly, bowed again, and then got back on the carriage. Xiao Er whipped the horse, and the carriage moved slowly forward. At this time, the old man's voice came again: "Young brother today is likely to have a disaster, but fortunately there are noble people helping, it's okay, it's okay!"

  It turned out to be a fortune teller, Liu Xie's heart was bitter and he couldn't help but smile wryly. He suddenly remembered the clear and moving face of the girl on the Lantern Festival, and didn't know when this face had taken root in his heart. Liu Xie shook his head, at that time he was really foolish and didn't even leave a phone number, how could he get her home address now? It's good now, wanting to find someone but having no place to look, he couldn't help but hate himself.

  Dark clouds gathered outside, the sky suddenly darkened, and then came heavy rain, pouring down in torrents. The streets were already empty of pedestrians, and Xiao Da and Xiao Er's clothes were completely soaked through. Their eyes were also blurry from the rainwater, but they relied on their familiarity with the road to hurry the horse carriage along. Li Chen had been called into the carriage by Liu Xie just as it happened - the carriage body suddenly lurched violently, and then felt like it was tilting over. Liu Xie was shocked, unsure of what had happened, when he heard Xiao Da shouting: "Xiao Er, protect the Emperor!" Then came the sound of intense clashing of weapons.

  Assassination? This was Liu Xie's first instinct, he pulled up Li Chen, found the exit of the carriage, and the two climbed out in a hurry, only to see outside, more than 20 black-clothed masked men were entangling Xiao Da and Xiao Er, the two had gradually fallen into disadvantage.

  Li Chen hastily pulled Liu Xie along, saying: "Your Majesty, let's go quickly!" But unexpectedly, Liu Xie paid no attention to him and angrily said: "We can't abandon them!"

  Xiao Da and Xiao Er were both moved by this, and suddenly felt a surge of courage. Xiao Da shouted, "Li Chen, take the Emperor away quickly!" As he spoke, his large knife struck down at one of the swordsmen, hitting him on the shoulder and sending him crashing to the ground. At the same time, Xiao Er also killed an enemy, and the two brothers immediately stood back-to-back, facing their foes together. More than a dozen masked swordsmen surrounded them, while the remaining few suddenly turned and attacked Liu Xie and Li Chen, who were terrified and hastily retreated.

  Xiao Da saw that Liu Xie was in danger, and his heart was greatly alarmed. In a moment of distraction, he was slashed by an enemy soldier, and fresh blood flowed from his arm. Xiao Er saw that his brother was injured, and his heart was filled with great anger. With a loud shout, he charged towards the enemy group, and the two brothers fought against more than ten enemies once again.
