Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 485 Fang Tianding: Aba aba! [2 Updates]

What the hell?

Fang Tianding's expression changed.

Actually, there are also Imperial Guards guarding the opposite bank of the Su Causeway, but they are stationed rather sparsely.

I don't know how the Imperial Guards operate; there were assassins hiding in the grove!

Fang Tianding subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to call out, but when he opened his mouth, he could only utter "Aba aba"!
"Shh-"

Just as Fang Tianding uttered "Aba Aba," a figure darted out of the grove like a leopard!

This man wielded a halberd and, with lightning speed, thrust it straight at Fang Tianding's face!

Caught off guard by the suddenness of the event, Fang Tianding's legs buckled and he collapsed to the ground!

The man's halberd thrust missed its mark, so he swung it horizontally across Fang Tianding's face.
"laugh--"

The crescent-shaped halberd sliced ​​horizontally from Fang Tianding's left temple to his right temple without missing a beat!

"Aba aba—"

Fang Tianding screamed in agony, and with a sharp pain, everything went black before his eyes, and he could see nothing at all...

"not good!"

Su Jing and Mi Quan, who were twenty paces away, changed their expressions drastically and rushed forward to protect Fang Tianding:
"stop--"

"Stop" is just a meaningless statement.

It's like one person is running and the other is chasing. The chaser keeps shouting "Stop!" while the runner runs faster and faster.

But to Su Jing and Mi Quan's surprise, the assassins actually stopped.

The assassin glanced at Su Jing and Mi Quan, smiled, sheathed his halberd, and turned to leave.

Su Jing and Mi Quan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the assassin wasn't a suicide squad member; otherwise, they would have had a good chance of killing Fang Tianding before they arrived.

Of course, in that case, the assassin wouldn't be able to escape.

"Protect the king!"

When Su Jing and Mi Quan arrived and saw that Fang Tianding was not dead, they handed him over to the Imperial Guards for protection and went after the assassin.

Fang Tianding is so badly injured, they will have a hard time explaining themselves if they don't capture the assassin.

At this moment, all the assassins hidden in the grove came out, and Su Jing and Mi Quan saw that there were four of them.

All four were dressed in black and wore masks; they were all burly men.

Besides the one wielding the halberd, there was another wielding a spear, another wielding a broadsword, and another wielding a long spear.

The four assassins have been surrounded by the Imperial Guards positioned on the opposite bank of the Su Causeway.

Su Jing and Mi Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Three hundred imperial guards were stationed on the opposite bank of the Su Causeway, which should be able to keep the assassin at bay.

However, to their surprise, the four assassins were extremely brave, and even three hundred Imperial Guards could not hold them back.

"A bunch of trash!"

Fortunately, the three hundred Imperial Guards managed to delay them a bit, and Su Jing and Mi Quan caught up, grumbling and cursing.

"You audacious assassin, where do you think you're going!"

Su Jing shouted and rushed forward, thrusting his spear into the back of the assassin wielding the eighteen-foot spear!
The assassin wielding the eighteen-foot spear seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; with a backhand swift motion, he chopped off Su Jing's head!

Mi Quan was both shocked and furious, and he swung his broadsword to slash at the assassin wielding the eighteen-foot spear!
The assassin remained calm and unhurried. He flicked his eighteen-foot spear, and the spearhead, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, pierced Mi Quan's throat with lightning speed!
"Pfft!"

The assassin drew his eighteen-foot spear and continued his charge, leaving only a bloody hole in Mi Quan's throat.

"Pfft!"

Mi Quan's body fell to the ground, causing the morale of the Imperial Guards who were blocking the four assassins to collapse instantly!

The four assassins broke through the encirclement, rushed to the hiding place of the horses, mounted their mounts, and sped away. The Imperial Guards, disregarding the bodies of Su Jing and Mi Quan, hurriedly went to protect Fang Tianding.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, how are you?!"

The Imperial Guards panicked and bombarded Fang Tianding with questions.

Fang Tianding, his face covered in blood, cried out in grievance:

"Aba Aba!"

Are you blind? Can't you see I'm blind?

……

The four assassins left West Lake in a flash, and only when they reached a secluded spot did they dismount and change into their night clothes.

All four assassins were burly men, but the one wielding the eighteen-foot spear was particularly imposing.

He had a leopard's head and round eyes, much like Zhang Fei, except for the swallow's chin and tiger's beard, but he had a goatee.

The assassin wielding the halberd said with a mixture of excitement and regret:
"It's a pity we couldn't kill the Qi state's brother-in-law!"
"It was so close, if it weren't for those two southern generals coming to the rescue..."

The assassin wielding the gun chuckled and teased him:

"Those two southern generals were too weak; the Grand Commander took care of them with a single spear thrust each!"
"Even if you killed the Qi king's brother-in-law, those two southern generals wouldn't be able to stop you!"

The assassin wielding the broadsword curled his lip:
"The Grand Commander can kill one enemy with a single spear, but we might not be able to do the same!"

"There's nothing to regret. The king's original order was to take one of the Qi king's brothers' eyes!"

"Chen Yun has exceeded expectations!"

"All right."

The Grand Commander, wielding the eighteen-foot spear, had already changed his clothes and said with a solemn expression:
"This task is not difficult; the difficult part is assassinating ten generals of the Qi state."

Chen Yun, who wielded the halberd, fawned over Chen Yun.
"What's so difficult about that?"
"The Grand Commander possesses the strength of ten thousand men; let alone ten generals, even a hundred or a thousand..."

The Grand Commander interrupted him with a cold snort:
If you can't flatter, you don't have to!
He mounted his horse and pointed his whip northward:
"Brothers, our target is Qi!"

The three assassins responded in unison, mounted their horses, and followed the Grand Commander northward...

……

Bangyuan Cave, Qingxi County.

The message was quickly delivered to Empress Fang Jinzhi of the Southern Kingdom via express courier, and Fang Jinzhi's expression changed drastically:
"What? My brother has gone blind?"

This news caused not only Fang Jinzhi to gasp in shock, but also high-ranking officials such as Left Chancellor Lou Minzhong, Imperial Preceptor Deng Yuanjue, Grand Commandant Zheng Biao, and General Shi Bao of the Southern Frontier.
"hiss--"

Deng Yuanjue hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, has the assassin been captured?"

Fang Jinzhi shook her head angrily and passed the letter around for them to read.

After reading it, Shi Bao discovered the key point:
"One wields a spear, one wields a broadsword, one wields a halberd, and one wields a long spear..."

"Among them, the spear of the eighteen-foot serpent killed Su Jing and Mi Quan one by one..."

"These weapons are actually quite common, but there aren't many that can take down Su Jing and Mi Quan with a single spear!"

"Even I, a humble general, could not do that in a direct confrontation with the enemy!"
"Imperial Advisor, can you do it?"

After a moment's thought, Deng Yuanjue truthfully replied:
"Although I could do it, it would be somewhat difficult. Your skill in wielding the eighteen-foot spear is probably superior to mine!"

"That makes things simple!"

Shi Bao did some quick calculations: "In this world, how many people wielding the eighteen-foot spear have martial arts skills surpassing those of the Imperial Preceptor?"
"As far as I know, it's Du Xue, the Grand General of Chu!"
"His nickname was 'Sick Zhang Fei,' and he possessed the courage of ten thousand men..."

Lou Minzhong suddenly interjected: "Isn't there also a 'Little Zhang Fei' Lin Chong?"

Deng Yuanjue and Shi Bao's expressions changed. As everyone knows, Lin Chong was Song Jiang's right-hand man and a general under Cai Fu.

It is said that Lin Chong was also incredibly brave, capable of fighting ten thousand men. If he were to assassinate Fang Tianding, it would be a huge incident!
