The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 142 Defeat the Assassin

At this time, the battle outside was also very intense. The assassins were divided into two groups, one group besieged the Second Prince, while the other group attacked the carriage where Master Chen Xuan was.

Several guards held up shields and stood in front of the Second Prince and the carriage. They looked nervous and vigilant. The Second Prince stood in the middle, his face solemn, holding a sharp sword in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger.

More than a hundred assassins in black armed with long swords started a fierce battle with the guards. The flashing of swords and the sound of shouting and metal colliding filled the air.

The rest of the guards were fighting with the assassins, brandishing swords and fighting back. Some guards were hit by the assassins, but they did not flinch and continued to fight; some guards took the opportunity to fight back and forced the assassins back.

The whole scene was extremely chaotic. Both sides were fighting with all their might and neither was willing to give in.

It was just strange that such a large-scale assassination did not attract the attention of the government. The second prince's face turned pale, and the answer in his mind was about to come out. I didn't expect them to be so bold! Although it seems that they are evenly matched at the moment, it seems that this situation cannot be resolved peacefully.

However, the unexpected happened quickly. In the blink of an eye, several arrows shot towards the black-clad archers. In just a moment, these black-clad archers were attacked from behind and killed.

It turned out that Su Lun and Gu Bei had arrived with their men.

They covered their faces with scarves and rode into the battlefield. Although there were only eight of them, their momentum was no less than that of eighty people. With their participation, the situation changed instantly.

A large number of the men in black soon fell down. The remaining men in black wanted to run away, but they didn't have the chance.

Young Master Chen Xuan had already issued an order to annihilate all the enemies, so Su Lun would naturally not let these men in black go easily.

Moreover, they had launched assassinations twice in a row, and this time they even injured Princess Qianying, which made the Second Prince furious. At this moment, the Second Prince was determined to teach these people a lesson, so he shouted, "Everyone listen, do not let any assassin go, kill them without mercy!"

In an instant, swords flashed and blood flew everywhere, and the two sides launched a thrilling battle. Su Lun jumped off his horse and rushed into the middle of the black-clad men like a ferocious cheetah. He kicked hard and immediately knocked the two black-clad men to the ground. At the same time, he swung the long sword in his hand quickly, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the black-clad men around him. Close combat was Su Lun's strong point. Every time he attacked, he had unparalleled power and speed, making it impossible to avoid. All the black-clad men who approached him were killed by his sword without exception.

Gu Bei was watching the situation nervously while killing the enemy. When his eyes fell on Su Lun, he couldn't help but tremble. He had never seen such a brave and fearless Su Lun. This was completely beyond his understanding of Su Lun. Such powerful strength and ruthless moves were not something a teenager could possess. Even his uncle, General Xiao, would probably not be able to compare with him when he was young, right?

However, Su Lun's actions were an encouragement to Gu Bei. He was immediately very excited. The long knife in his hand slashed like lightning, and each cut was full of murderous intent, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the black-clad assassins. Blood splattered, staining the ground red, but Gu Bei had no intention of retreating. Instead, he became more and more courageous.

Master Chen Xuan in the carriage saw all of this, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. This Su Lun is indeed a promising talent, calm and agile, and he has done an excellent job in intelligence work in Chu this time. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such high hopes for him. When he looked at Gu Bei again, he found that Gu Bei had become much more stable than before.

However, what surprised Master Chen Xuan the most was Wang Shen. Wang Shen was still riding steadily on his horse, brandishing his spear and engaging in a fierce fight with the man in black. His spear skills were like a storm, impenetrable, making it difficult for the man in black to get close. Master Chen Xuan was filled with emotion when he thought of Wang Shen's days in the Marquis Wenxin's mansion. At that time, Wang Shen's life was in dire straits and he had no chance to learn martial arts. But in just less than two months, he has grown to where he is now. His progress is simply amazing.

The second prince looked at everything that happened in front of him, and his heart was filled with shock and confusion. He did not expect that these people who suddenly appeared would be so powerful and could easily defeat those men in black. At this moment, he was sure that these people were not enemies, but who were they? Why did they appear here? A series of questions came to his mind.

At the same time, the battle on the field was over. The men in black were beaten back step by step, and only five people were left standing. Su Lun, Gu Bei and others put long knives on their necks, making it impossible for them to escape. Seeing this scene, Master Chen Xuan walked out of the carriage.

The second prince walked up to the men in black, stared into their eyes, and asked with great anger, "Who are you? Who sent you?" He hoped to get an answer and solve the mystery. However, the men in black said nothing and didn't even look at him. This silence made the second prince even angrier. He felt that these people didn't take him seriously at all.

The second prince narrowed his eyes and signaled his men to remove the veils from these people. When the veils were removed, everyone was shocked. It turned out that one of these men in black did not look like a Central Plains person, but a Four Heavenly Apocalypse person! The other person's face seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but he could not remember where it was.

Realizing that this matter was not simple, the Second Prince and Young Master Chenxuan looked at each other, and the Second Prince asked, "Brother Chenxuan, what do you think?" Young Master Chenxuan walked to the Second Prince and said softly, "I don't know." He frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Then, he turned to his followers and said, "Take a look at the faces of those people on the ground." The followers immediately stepped forward and carefully lifted the black cloths on the faces of those people in black. As the veils were lifted, the faces of the people were revealed.

The inspection revealed the problem. Among the fallen men in black, more than a dozen of them were foreigners. Their appearance was very different from that of the locals, with unique features. Everyone was startled and realized that this matter might be more complicated than they thought.

Just as the second prince was about to ask something, the foreigner bumped into the long knife on his neck and fell to the ground and died. Soon after, the remaining four men in black also committed suicide in the same way.

Upon seeing this, the second prince cursed under his breath, "Damn it!" He had originally wanted to force these people to reveal the mastermind behind the incident, but now it seemed impossible.

Young Master Chenxuan comforted him, "Don't worry, Second Prince. These people are dead men and we can't get anything out of them." His tone was calm and composed, as if he was accustomed to such situations.
