Chapter 78 Crown Prince
The Yin wind swept across, and the perfect Yin Ghost Sword force swallowed him up and killed him in an instant.
Two people were killed in a short period of time, but Song Changming's interference also hindered the opponent's momentum.
And Lu Zheng and other strong men have also joined the enemy, and they have also shown the strength that the elite of the General Division should have.
This line of defense is fairly solid.
clang!
After Song Changming killed three people in a row, when he met the fourth person, his dragon pattern knife was blocked by the opponent.
Under the hat, this is the face of a middle-aged man with high cheekbones.
Now Song Changming's bone forging skill has reached the fourth level of strength, and he has developed a strong body, which is no small feat.
With the dragon-marked sword in his hand, anyone who can block his sword head-on must either have a higher level of physical training than him, or be a person with natural divine power.
Song Changming quickly realized that the person in front of him was the former.
His physical training has reached the fifth level of strength!
And even if it's not the same direction as him for bone training, it must be the direction of body training for muscle training, taking the route of building big muscles.
There is no doubt that Song Changming has met a real opponent.
The man picked up the machete in his hand, turned from defense to offense, and slashed fiercely.
Song Changming used the soul-breaking knife to fight with him.
The two sides competed with each other with strength. Even though Song Changming only had the fourth level of body training, he seemed to be no inferior to his opponent with the fifth level of physical training in terms of strength.
Under such circumstances, the two sides competed on martial arts attainments such as sword skills and light body skills, as well as combat experience and reactions in battle.
Song Changming has another advantage, that is, his Spiritual Monkey Marrow Cleansing Technique, which he has practiced to the second level. Although the strength is not high, it is enough to make him more agile and agile than his opponent.
When evenly matched masters exchange moves, some other advantages can be easily amplified and turned into a victory!
They attacked each other dozens of times, sparks flying in the fight, and they were extremely anxious.
But in the end, Song Changming used his slightly faster sword and footwork to break out the opponent's flaw.
The next moment, Song Changming's sword force changed. Hundreds of birds flew towards the phoenix, sweeping towards him. A bit of silver light completely broke the opponent's force, pierced his chest and abdomen, and severely injured him.
Immediately afterwards, Song Changming transformed into the Soul-Severing Sword again and beheaded him with one blow without any delay.
This person seemed to have some weight. After being killed by Song Changming, many people on the other side were shaken and were no longer so resolute in the attack.
After a few breaths, someone blew a whistle.
When the remaining people heard the whistle, they gave up the attack and chose to retreat.
"Want to leave!"
At this time, the captain from the front came with dozens of cavalry, and with one shot, an attacker was pierced through the body and held in the air.
"Leave no one behind!" Xie Shihuan on the other side also shouted, and all the guards swarmed up and chased and intercepted the attackers.
In the end, almost all the dozens of attackers were wiped out, with only a few remaining who took advantage of the chaos and disappeared.
"Who instigated you to dare to do such a vicious thing!" Xie Shihuan looked at the group of attackers alive and scolded him in a cold voice.
"I dare to say it, do you dare to listen?" One of the attackers suddenly raised his head, stared at Xie Shihuan, and said slowly.
"You want to say that the person behind you is some big shot, and we can't even hear about it?!" Xie Shihuan laughed angrily.
Lu Zheng on the side frowned, raised his foot and stomped on the attacker's chest, causing him to vomit blood.
"If you want to survive, tell the truth!"
"Yes, it's the current crown prince!" the attacker said sternly, revealing a mouth full of blood-soaked teeth.
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Song Changming was no exception. His first subconscious reaction was that the other party was talking nonsense and he didn't dare to think deeply about it.
No one present dared to be an enemy of the crown prince who seemed to be above the nine heavens.
Let alone them, who in the world would dare.
The atmosphere was frozen, and the corners of Xie Shihuan's mouth twitched several times, about to make a move.
At this time, in the carriage, an old man wearing dark brocade clothes and a jade crown slowly opened the curtain and walked out.
The old man's hair and beard are all white, but his eyes are quite charming, and he is looking at the group of attackers in front of him with his eyebrows.
His elegant temperament reveals the majesty of a man who has been in power for a long time, making people feel at a glance that he is no ordinary person.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, Commander Fan, don't listen to the nonsense of these people. How could the Crown Prince be such a noble person and send such a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimps to cause trouble? There must be someone else. Please bring him back for questioning." The old man bowed his hands to Xie Shihuan and Captain Fan Yun. It directly denied the outrageous remarks made by the attacker.
Everyone felt convinced.
Indeed, if the crown prince really wanted to do something, he could just issue an order, and there would be no need to use this group of ordinary attackers to get things done.
There was no strange color on Song Changming's face, but there were some other thoughts in his heart.
Why didn't the attacker mention anyone else and only mentioned the Crown Prince in one sentence?
It sounds outrageous and unrealistic to them, but that’s not necessarily what people say to them.
The important person who had been quite calm while sitting in the carriage before, when he heard about the crown prince, he immediately couldn't sit still and came out to refute the rumors.
This shows that he was not calm at that time.
Maybe the old man in the carriage really had some connection with the current crown prince, so the attacker took advantage of it.
Of course, according to normal thinking, the crown prince is indeed unlikely to be the mastermind behind this attack.
Otherwise, the crown prince would be too far gone.
"My lord said that it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. It is better to return to the county seat as soon as possible." Fan Yun nodded. The spear in his hand was still dripping with blood and had not yet dried up.
"Okay, escort them all back!" Xie Shihuan ordered.
The patrol team, which was intact after the war, was responsible for the escort. They were professionals in this matter.
In addition, the poisoned guards and soldiers on the ground were also put on horses and taken away, while the remaining corpses were postponed for processing.
The convoy set off again, moving faster than before to avoid further accidents.
And when they passed the place where the cavalry had previously charged, they discovered that there were more corpses of the attackers, broken limbs flying everywhere, and the scene was extremely tragic.
Song Changming couldn't estimate for a while how many intact corpses could be pieced together from this large piece of corpse.
I just feel that there are at least more than a hundred attackers who died here, which shows how brave the hussars brought by Captain Fan Yun are.
The first cavalry defense line constructed was indeed strong enough, allowing only dozens of attackers to reach where Song Changming and others were.
Most of the day later, the convoy was escorted all the way into the city smoothly and arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion.
The county governor Xiao Jingchuan, who had already received the news, and the county officials under his command stopped at the door to greet him.
When he saw that the convoy was damaged and stained with blood, Xiao Jingchuan's expression suddenly changed and he hurried forward to ask.
"But what happened? Is that adult safe?"
The safety of those who come on this trip is what he attaches most importance to.
Anything can happen to anyone, but nothing can happen to him.
In fact, even the county guard did not expect that this important man would be safe all the way south, but an accident happened just before he reached the county town.
"We encountered attackers, and the patrols and cavalry soldiers were all injured or killed, but fortunately they did not disgrace their orders and the people they were supposed to protect were safe and sound." Xie Shihuan reported first.
I didn't dare to hide anything about what I just encountered, including the crown prince mentioned by the attacker.
"Crown Prince!" Xiao Jingchuan was obviously startled when he heard this, and immediately whispered to Xie Shihuan.
"This matter must not be made public. As for those who are still alive, we must interrogate them as soon as possible. This matter is the top priority!"
"Yes." Xie Shihuan nodded in agreement.
In the carriage on the other side, the old man had already walked down on his own, attracting Xiao Jingchuan's full attention.
Xiao Jingchuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by the old man's handrail.
"When I come here, I need to rely on you, Commander Xiao. No need to be polite."
"Don't worry, sir. I have already told you that if you are tired from traveling, you should rest at my governor's house first. This place is absolutely safe." Xiao Jingchuan replied immediately.
"Thank you." The old man nodded, and slowly walked into the county governor's mansion under Xiao Jingchuan's guidance.
Song Changming stood far outside the governor's house and watched the old man walk in.
For some reason, he just felt that a big trouble had come here.
There must be a big secret in that old man's body, I'm afraid it will involve a lot!
