Chapter 252 - Dangerous, Attacked by Assassin (1/2)

Nan Xun wanted to take the tea and drink it immediately, but in the end she just respectfully curtsied. She politely turned down State Teacher’s good intention and firmly said, “Thanking Lord, but senior brothers and imperial guards here never had water before. Although this disciple is a woman, but this disciple still refuses to be treated specially.”

The hand that was holding a cup of tea paused before retracting back in.

The man inside the palanquin lightly said, “Gong Da, tell them to hurry it up a bit.”

Gong Da twisted his eyebrows but still nodded, “Yes.”

The previous parades always took half a day, but because of that one sentence from State Teacher today, the speed became quicker one-fold.

Everybody thought in their hearts: Lord State Teacher indeed dotes on this new disciple ah.

The procession quickly arrived at an alley.

Common people from both sides of the street was still a lot, inns and teahouses were also crowded to a bursting point with people and the other several alleys looked like there’s no difference with this one.

However, at this time, Gong Moran who was inside the palanquin suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze turned into incomparable cold orbs.

“Gong Da.” Gong Moran called out, his thin lips opened slightly, giving out two indifferent words, “On guard.”

Gong Da’s expression fiercely changed, he immediately understood his meaning and shouted loudly to everyone, “Be careful, there’s an ambush!”

In the twinkling of an eye, just as Gong Da’s voice fell, countless arrows shot out from above two magnificent buildings on both sides.

Imperial Guards all uniformly pulled out the swords at their waist, warding off arrows while quickly gathering themselves to the middle, surrounding Lord State Teacher’s palanquin along with his disciples.

Even in this way, the dense rain of arrows still managed to slip inside the palanquin.

“My Lord!” Nan Xun saw with her own eyes how an arrow flitted past her cheek and entered the palanquin, she shouted out of shock.

Gong Moran’s normal voice came out from inside the palanquin, “This Lord has no trouble.” He paused, and then turned his head to a side, “Gong Da, protect Duoduo.”

Nan Xun, who had experienced quite a lot of worlds firmly believed that she can deflect these arrows, moreover, Imperial Guards was protecting them from the outside perimeter, but this ‘Li Yunduo’ can’t ah, she can’t even do any flowery fist and fancy footwork. [T/N: showy but not practical martial arts]

So, Nan Xun acted like a total good-for-nothing and hid herself behind Gong Da.

Gong Da looked at her with cold-shoulder as he integrated himself into the protection ring.

Disciples from Moran Hall stretched out their hands into the sky as they made extremely complicated signs.

After that, a strange thing happened.

Before long, those arrows that were about to pierce people fell down to the ground, as if there was an invisible wall that blocked their trajectory!

The common people on both sides of the road had long ago fled and was nowhere to be seen, but those that was too late to run away and hid themselves under any table or shelf, their hearts trembled after they witnessed everything.

Immortals ah, true immortals ah! That barrage of arrows was unable to hurt even a fraction of them!

Once the arrows stopped, a hundred of sword-wielding black-clothed people suddenly came down from both of those magnificent buildings, they were obviously well-trained assassins, all came with death order.

One part of Imperial Guards safely guarded the palanquin while the other part attacked, dashing to a fierce fight.

“Imperial Guard’s chief, arrest some alive.” The man from inside the palanquin lightly said.

“Yes! Lord.”

Although there were a hundred assassins, but there were 200 Imperial Guards, each one of them was of no ordinary talent, the assassins’ situation was hopeless.

When Imperial Guards captured the assassins, they broke their lower jaw to prevent them from swallowing poison. It’s just that these assassin’s reaction was astonishingly fast, realizing the other party’s intention, they bit into the poison inside the crack of their teeth at once that the Imperial Guards can only detained nine living ones.

The Imperial Guard’s chief counted their bodies, when he was about to report, he didn’t expect to see two hidden weapons shooting out towards the palanquin.
