Chapter 363 Osmanthus Brewing
Perhaps it was because the attack power of Emperor Qianwu and his entourage was very strong, the hyena group finally showed some intention of retreating.
A group of hyenas kicked the ground and took a few steps back.
But the next moment, a pair of eyes flashed with ferocity and they pounced forward again.
Emperor Qianwu shouted, "Follow me and kill them! Those who can return alive will be promoted to higher positions!"
The emperor raised his arm and called for help, and morale boosted.
The two sides fought for several rounds, and both suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, the hyenas were also covered with wounds this time. The remaining hyenas lingered for a long time, and finally retreated unwillingly.
The group of people suddenly relaxed, sat down on the ground, and simply treated their wounds.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
Emperor Qianwu bit a piece of cloth that he had torn from his clothes and wrapped it around his arm.
The deputy general looked nervous, but Emperor Qianwu waved his hand and said, "No problem."
"Your Majesty, please ask the accompanying imperial physician..."
The deputy general was halfway through his words when he realized that the two accompanying doctors had been pierced and eaten by hyenas, and their bodies were probably gone.
Emperor Qianwu looked at the scene in front of him. There were more than one hundred people who came here, but now there were only more than twenty people left. It was really tragic.
His expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's my fault."
Hearing this, everyone stood up and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty..."
"No need to say more. I'll give him a proper burial and settle his family." Although the emperor admitted it frankly, his expression was cold.
Apparently, the death of a few people was nothing to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the smell of blood is too strong here. We should evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise we might attract other wild beasts." A guard advised.
Emperor Qianwu stood up without any hesitation, and this time there was no delay at all.
Just as he was about to mount his horse, he discovered that most of the war horses he had brought with him had sustained serious injuries, with each wound so deep that the skin and flesh were separated and the bones were visible.
"Two people on one horse!" Emperor Qianwu said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Perhaps it was bad luck, for before the group set off, an assassin suddenly appeared from the sky.
A dozen masked assassins dressed in black, holding long knives like sharp swords, suddenly broke into the team like a tearing stone.
"Take down Emperor Qianwu's head! The reward is ten thousand gold!" One of the assassins spoke sternly.
The group of people looked at it with sharp eyes. Seeing that Emperor Qianwu and his entourage were only left with remnants of defeated soldiers, they felt that this was a godsend opportunity.
"Kill!"
The strength of the two sides was similar. Although Emperor Qianwu also led elite troops, they had just experienced a fierce battle.
The other side came prepared and aggressive.
Not long after the fight, Emperor Qianwu and his entourage began to show signs of defeat.
The emperor held a sharp sword in his hand, and was bloodthirsty at this moment. No matter how the people on his side protected him, the assassins kept attacking him!
"Your Majesty, it seems to be a Luo national!" the attendant said in a deep voice.
Daqian and Luo Kingdom have always been at odds with each other, and there have been constant wars along the border between the two sides for years. Although there has never been a large-scale outbreak, there is a deep blood feud.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's expression finally darkened a little.
The assassins from Luo State actually sneaked into the suburbs of Beijing. What on earth are these garrison troops doing?
The clanging sounds of swords continued as Emperor Qianwu and his entourage fought and retreated at the same time. However, in just a few moments, they lost three more people!
"Protect the emperor! I swear to protect your majesty until my death!" The deputy general had a beard and his cheeks were stained with blood, but he always stood in front of Emperor Qianwu and spoke angrily.
Just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
Zhao Dehai was hunting here with a team of people. When he saw the movement, Zhao Dehai narrowed his eyes and his chest beat violently.
I actually took my brother's words seriously!
"Your Majesty, it looks like one of ours!" The bearded man was far away, his vision was a little bloodshot, and he couldn't see clearly, but looking at the style of the armor, he thought it was definitely one of their Daqian.
"There's an assassin! Who's coming from the front?" the bearded man shouted in a deep voice.
Zhao Dehai frowned and ran forward, drawing his bow and shooting arrows, "Qingyuan Marquis Mansion Zhao Dehai, who are you!"
As the distance got closer, Zhao Dehai clearly saw that the person who was forced into danger was not someone else, but the current emperor, Emperor Qianwu!
When an assassin in black saw the help coming, he immediately made a gesture, and then four or five of them turned around and headed towards Zhao Dehai to block him.
"It's the assassin from Luo State! Protect His Majesty!" The bearded man spoke angrily while holding a knife against the enemy.
The group's eyes were full of hope, but when Zhao Dehai and his men approached and saw that they had only a dozen people, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
These Luo assassins are all top-notch experts, and ordinary guards and servants would be unable to deal with them at all.
Zhao Dehai rode his horse into the crowd, saying, "Your Majesty! Please forgive me for my impoliteness!"
Emperor Qianwu was currently fighting the enemy back to back with his deputy general. Their men had suffered heavy casualties previously, and in just a moment, many of them were killed here again.
On the other hand, only one of the Luo assassins died.
Obviously, the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.
Although the deputy general sent a distress signal into the air, the location was remote and too far away from the camp, so it would be difficult to wait for reinforcements.
Zhao Dehai leaned over, holding the reins in one hand and slashing at an assassin who was planning to launch a sneak attack on Emperor Qianwu with the other hand, and rushed towards Emperor Qianwu desperately.
When he arrived before the emperor, he dismounted.
As he rushed in, the group of people he brought with him also disrupted the assassin's original arrangement. Most of the people Zhao Dehai brought were servants, but they were more resilient than the deputy general expected.
With Zhao Dehai joining, the group was excited.
But in the end, these people alone were not enough. The number of people on Emperor Qianwu's side was getting smaller and smaller, and only the servants brought by Zhao Dehai were left to hold on!
Emperor Qianwu was stabbed in the arm again. This time, with one hand held by Zhao Dehai, he hurriedly retreated.
"Your Majesty, I will protect you and leave first!" Seeing that the defeat was obvious, Zhao Dehai spoke in a deep voice.
Emperor Qianwu's face was gloomy, but he also had a knife wound on his leg, and his steps were a little unsteady.
Obviously, the emperor, who had always been arrogant and conceited, never thought that a morning hunt would cause him to suffer such a huge setback.
Because Emperor Qianwu staggered, the two were soon caught up by the assassin.
The remaining attendants and servants were entangled at this moment, but they were also trying hard to converge in this direction.
Want to go?
But now I can't leave at all!
It was obvious that a tight net had been laid out at this moment and preparations had been made for a long time.
In a flash, two men in black attacked from the front. Emperor Qianwu and Zhao Dehai supported each other back to back and raised their swords to fight back!
"How dare you, you Luo country scoundrels!" Zhao Dehai shouted angrily, cutting off the opponent's sword with one blow, and then quickly drawing his sword.
Zhao Dehai and Emperor Qianwu took turns to fight the enemy while supporting each other.
Because he took two blows for Emperor Qianwu, Zhao Dehai also suffered several injuries!
But since Emperor Qianwu was the target, there were only a lot of assassins targeting him, and the two were in danger.
Emperor Qianwu remained calm, and while fighting off the enemy, he asked, "Any last words?"
Zhao Dehai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please reward me with three ounces of osmanthus wine every Qingming Festival!"
